Tactics

Tactics (駆引, Kakehiki) is the fifth episode of the anime Death Note.

Synopsis
After successfully getting information on the FBI agent, Light Yagami waits one week before he decides to kill Raye Penber.

It is on December 27 that Light enters a crowded underground shopping centre with Ryuk at his side. Light's plan starts when he gets behind the agent and introduces himself as Kira. He then kills a man named Yonegoro Nusumi who is standing outside a shop close to where they are standing in order to prove to Penber that he really is Kira. After seeing that Penber follows Light’s orders. Afterwards Light gives Raye an envelope, and walks off to board a train discretely. He has Raye get on the same train and forces him to write down all the other agents' names on a portion of the Death Note. Raye leaves the train without the envelope and dies in front of Light.

With the murder of the 12 FBI agents in Japan, the Japanese police force begins to distrust L's motives while the fiancée of Raye Penber, a former FBI agent, begins to grieve and seek out Kira for revenge. The American President pulls the FBI out of the Kira case.

L's answer to the police's suspicions is to invite the team to his hotel room. Light ponders his next move, sure he has made a mistake. L ponders the latest message from a prisoner: "L, do you know Gods of death love apples?" When Light's father, the chief, informs his family that he is the head of the Kira case, Light tells his father that he is proud of him, and that he will capture Kira if his dad dies.

The note L sends to the remaining policemen is as follows:

「私が信用した、あなた方六人と

今すぐにでも会う事を考えています.

その前に、私を信用するか否か、

一度、

警察の建物から出て

検討して頂きたい. 」
