Mello touches down in Japan and watches Demegawa, broadcasting from a helicopter, urge Kira's faithful to storm the agents' New York base. Misa waits with her stolen sight to strike Near the instant he steps outside. When Light advises Near to pull back, the boy reasons that the killer must be the second detective, since the agents fell under threat only after he began doubting the Japanese team, a coincidence too neat to ignore. He urges them to weigh the possibility that their new leader is Kira, and Aizawa starts recalling the old suspicions around Light.

As the mob breaches the building, Near and his team scatter the crowd by dumping buckets of the late detective's fortune from the windows, turning the rioters against one another. Disguised in police gear and armor, the agents walk out safely once officers arrive to quell the chaos.

From a secure base, Near reopens his line and invites any team member to share what they know. Aizawa makes the call, recounting the confinement of the two Kira suspects, the false thirteen-day rule that exonerated them, and the staged execution that the detective used to clear them when Light declined to kill his own father. Near deduces that the killer volunteered for confinement to wash away suspicion, and on learning that the chief and Light are father and son, he concludes that Light is both Kira and the second detective.

Back at headquarters Aizawa tells Light he reached Near but withholds the substance, and the two agree to resume video watch on Light and Misa. A search of Misa's flat turns up nothing. On screen, Demegawa exploits his program to beg donations for a temple and parades his hand-picked officers, disgusting the team, and Light privately judges the showman spent.

Demegawa and his entourage are struck dead on air by Teru Mikami. Light had ordered Misa to surrender her notebook, erasing her memory of it, and mail it to the prosecutor. Because Mogi was stationed at Misa's flat, Aizawa realizes neither she nor Light could have done the killing, and his confidence in their guilt wavers. Light chose Mikami from his appearances on the Kira program, trusting that a man of identical conviction would grasp why he had been selected. The episode ends with Mikami exulting to Ryuk over his power to judge and declaring that Kira is God.
