While driving to the Sakura TV station, Higuchi talks with Rem about his situation. L, Light, and Misa watch from the Investigation team building and wonder whom he is talking with. L wonders if Higuchi is talking to a Death God. Rem convinces Higuchi to go to the station but has her own selfish motives for doing so. Higuchi enters the station's offices and writes Matsuda's fake name in his Death Note. The team thinks he has just written a note to himself, but soon discover that this is odd as soon as Higuchi suddenly displays erratic behaviour. L argues that he has attempted to use his killing method. Talking to Rem, Higuchi decides it would be best if he obtained the shinigami eyes. A furious pursuit ensues when L gives the order that the police must act to apprehend him.
