"Gamble" (「賭け」 "Kake"?) is the 15th episode of the Death Note TV series aired on January 23, 2007 in Japan.
The episode opens as Light and Rem discuss how to kill L. Light thinks on the matter and decides to act the next day, as making a hasty move could result in a mistake. Light and Misa then ask for each other's cellphone number. Light explains that he cannot give Misa his own number as the police may tap his phone as a Kira suspect. However, Misa has three phones due to her popularity and gives one to Light so he can call her. Misa, flustered with total adoration of Light, explains that she is planning for their future. As she does this, Light strategically kisses her in order to persuade her to go home. After Misa leaves, Light tells Ryuk that he is planning to let Misa fall completely in love with him.
Meanwhile at the investigation headquarters, L, whilst examining evidence, deduces that if the real Kira and the second Kira have met, he may be at risk of death. He tells the team that if he dies within the next few days, they can assume that Yagami Light is Kira and that Watari and the team should arrest Light immediately and continue the investigation without him.
At college, Light notices L sitting on a bench and greets him accordingly. Light, acting worried about L, questions whether it is safe for him to be out in the open. L replies that only Light knows who he is, and that he should be fine as long as Light isn't Kira. He then elaborates, saying that if he dies soon, everybody will know Light is Kira. During this meeting, Misa catches up with Light and L. Light, whilst at first panicked, quickly calms down and realizes that Misa can see L's real name and can kill him later. A crowd gathers when several people recognize Misa as a model, and someone accidentally brushes up against Misa, much to her embarrassment. After the crowd disperses, Light gets the chance to phone Misa and ask for L's name. However, L's phone rings instead. Light realizes that L had stolen Misa's cellphone earlier when he brushed up against her. L's real phone then rings, and L reveals that Misa has been arrested on suspicion of being the second Kira.
Afterwards, Misa appears to be completely bound in a cell with her eyes covered. L instructs Watari to torture Misa but not to kill her. A few days later, Watari alerts L that Misa has something to say. Misa repeatedly begs Rem to kill her. She reveals to Rem that she is willing to die for Light, and attempts to take her own life by biting her tongue. Watari quickly prevents her from doing this with a gag. Rem, saying goodbye to Misa, then travels to Light and tells him that she had Misa give up ownership of the Death Note, and that this will erase all memories of ever having the Death Note and henceforth erase all memories of anybody Misa has killed with it. Also, she explains that Misa now cannot see Shinigami, and will also forget that Light is Kira. Consequently, Light has lost L's real name. Rem then tells Light that if he doesn't save Misa from her prison, she will kill Light herself. Light tells Rem that he has an idea to save Misa, and, to his surprise, bids Ryuk farewell.
