-Okay. Watch.

-Police are now confirming the hostages

-are Brode's ex-wife and children.

-[Ryuk] Hope you know what you're doing.

[male reporter] With his violent history,

police are hesitant

about moving in on this situation.

[sirens wailing]

You stupid b*tch! You f***ing stay there,

you snot-nose little douchebag!

[male reporter] It appears that

James Brode is exiting the storefront.

[female reporter]

It looks like he has released her.

That's definitely a good sign.

-[gasps] Holy sh*t.

-[male reporter] Oh, my goodness.

[female reporter] Uh, folks,

we are trying to get more information.

I hope no children were watching this.

This is obviously very upsetting footage.

In case you're just tuning in,

the man holding his family hostage

just saluted to cameras before being

run over by a rogue SWAT truck.

We apologize

for these disturbing images...

I killed him.

[Light]

I guess I should feel guilty, but I don't.

[Mia] That woman and her kids are only

alive right now because of what you did.

What is there to feel guilty about?

Thing is, I know what it's like

to get f***ed over.

Some a**hole killed my mom and...

got away with it until I got this book.

I just keep thinking, I mean,

why should it just be for me?

I mean, all the people that make

life miserable, make life dangerous...

I can reach them now.

Do you think that I'm crazy?

If anything,

I think you're not crazy enough.

-We could change the world.

-"We"?

[stutters]

Like "we" as... as in us?

[laughs]

[male reporter]

We're getting an update live...

The police are extremely hesitant...

Can I kiss you?

You're not supposed to ask.

What am I supposed to do?

[teacher's voice distant, echoing]

[Light] The note was filled with names

when I got it.

Whoever had it before us,

what did they accomplish?

Just small-time killings,

revenge, petty crimes?

I think we can do a lot more

than just settle some random scores.

How about this guy?

I don't want people to say

they're scared of it or horrified.

[Mia] What do you want them to say?

[Light] I want them to say... "Thank you."

[laughing]

Look at those people.

-[Mia] They're a bunch of sheep.

-[Light] No, they're not.

They're looking for someone

who's not gonna let them down

the way cops do and politicians.

And that's why they have you.

[Light]

It's bigger than me. It's bigger than us.

What they want...

is a god.

So let's give it to them.

Let's give them a god,

let's make a name for him.

A god that never lets anybody down.

It's not gonna solve a few crimes,

it's gonna solve all crime.

[Mia] A god that scares the sh*t

out of the bad guys

until they don't want to be bad anymore?
