[Light] A god who inspires hope

that things can actually change.

Kira.

Kira? What does that mean?

It means "light"

in Russian and Celtic.

Wouldn't you be worried

they could trace it back to you?

No. How could they?

It also sort of means "killer"

in Japanese,

so if they're looking,

it's gonna be on the wrong continent.

[female reporter] Who or what is Kira?

That's the question

facing baffled investigators today

as death row inmates in six different

continents were found dead in their cells.

Each victim left behind the same message

written in perfect Japanese.

[in Mandarin] It reads, "Lord Kira

has returned to punish the wicked."

None of the victims

actually spoke Japanese...

[Mia] I think I got one.

[reporter in German] Reports are

that the previously elusive leader

of the terrorist movement

blew himself up in front of his men.

Kira is apparently behind the bizarre deaths.

[reporter in Spanish] Five members

of the cartel apparently threw themselves

in front of an oncoming train.

Kira is responsible for all of these acts

that are happening right now.

[man in English]

The globalists will have you believe

that Kira's the New World Messiah

here to right the wrongs of our time.

This is another bid by the super elites

to sweep the rug from under us

and shape our reality

by what can only be described

as one of the greatest false flag

operations in the history of covert ops.

[female reporter]

Fear they will be punished by Kira

has led to a series of wanted criminals

literally turning themselves in.

Kira's had a bigger impact on crime

than anything I've seen.

I don't wanna say our job's gotten easier,

but look around you.

[static humming]

[female reporter]

News out of Japan tonight

where Kira has apparently struck again.

More than a dozen were found dead

in a Tokyo nightclub,

a scene authorities described

as "incredibly gruesome."

What can anyone tell us about Kira?

And perhaps, more importantly,

can anyone stop it?

And should they?

[in Japanese] It makes no sense.

The Nakamuras and the Inagawas

have had a truce for over ten years.

How would Kira even know about them?

-[L] Because I tipped him off.

-What?

I've had access to law enforcement

databases for some time.

I've been seeding the names

of obscure criminals,

waiting for a hit.

And now... we know who we're looking for.

[man in English]

How long since you've slept?

Forty-one hours.

And you're certain of your conclusions?

Yes. [hums softly]

The insulin spike from the candies will

focus your mind for final consideration.

When it fades,

you will sleep for one hour.

Wear these to properly prepare

your body clock.

I've been contemplating
