Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: Could L Catch Epstein?

It would take L less than 5 minutes to solve the Epstein case, and that's me being generous.

Let me break down exactly why, and more importantly, how.

Spoiler alert, I'm also going to bring up Light Yagami, so you absolutely need to watch till the end of the video.

First, we'll powerscale L to understand the depth of his genius.

You see, in the world of Death Note, the three greatest detectives on Earth, L, Geraldo Coyle, and Denev, are actually all the same person.

old, which is when he single -handedly prevented World War III.

Now, the public record says he solved over 3 ,500 difficult cases, but the real number is significantly higher because of those alternate identities.

To give you an idea of the scale he operates on, Mello, one of his successors,

once mentioned that L maintains at least triple -digit active codes for various detective personas.

Still, if you want the one intelligence feat that's relevant here, it's this.

Back when puzzle so complex that an entire team of policemen gave up on it,

and even the elite FBI agent Naomi Misora thought it was designed to be impossible, Elle solved it instantly.

And Beyond Birthday is not a fraud.

He is the primary antagonist of the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases novel, and he's genius enough to act as Elle's evil clone.

When he tried convincing Naomi that he was actually Elle, he read a 376 -page book in under 5 minutes and memorized every page perfectly.

Now, superior to him.

You can imagine what L's photographic memory looks like.

So when I say L can solve the Epstein case in five minutes, I'm not being hyperbolic.

If anything, I'm being conservative.

This man processes information faster than entire government investigative bureaus combined.

He can monitor dozens of computer screens simultaneously and absorb every data point perfectly.

And because he immediately understands every data point, he can weigh every probability in real time and calculate precise percentages in his head.

I'm sure that you can already tell that superhuman genius alone isn't enough to solve the Epstein problem.

You see, L is a detective.

Yes, he's the top one detective, but he's limited in what he can do.

His whole thing is narrowing down suspects in closed systems.

But how does that work with Epstein?

The way Epstein operated has been well documented since at least 2005.

The real problem was never a lack of evidence.

It was that too many people in power were either compromised or complicit.

lays out.

The year is 2005.

March 2005, to be precise.

A stepmother contacts the Palm Beach police because her 14 -year -old stepdaughter came home with $300 in cash.

When she asked the girl about it, she ended up explaining the entire recruitment pipeline.

Basically, a classmate had approached her at school and offered her money to give an older man a massage.

The classmate drove her to a pink mansion at 358 L Brillo Way.

Once in, Epstein entered wearing nothing but a short, she walked away with $300.

Now at first, this looks like a case of a local rich pedo creep.

Nothing about it suggests you're dealing with a man who has billion -dollar financial leverage, a global contract list, and two decades of cultivating relationships with presidents, royalty, and prosecutors.

But by October 2005, Detective Rick Carey was interviewing victim after victim, and the pattern was identical every single time.

Girls would get recruited by their friends.

They'd be driven to the same mansion, asked to give a massage, but as you can expect, it would often escalate to god knows what and then they'd get money.

And here's the thing: once a girl was in, she was in.

She'd be pressured to bring more girls, which is how the network just kept expanding.

And Epstein was particular about them being young.

So okay, Rick Carey built his case methodically.

He collected everything from property records proving Epstein owned the mansion.

To flight logs showing travel between Palm Beach, New York, New Mexico, and Little St. James Island in the Caribbean.

methods, the same cash payments, he documented everything.

By May 2006, Detective Joseph Rickeri submitted a comprehensive probable cause affidavit to the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office.

It was the culmination of an 11 -month investigation, and clearly had overwhelming evidence for direct charges.

But rather than filing charges based on Rickeri's affidavit, State Attorney Barry Krischer took the case to a grand jury, and the grand jury returned a very limited indictment.

And as we know, it ultimately led to the controversial agreement.

Now why am I bringing all this up?

To show you just how much was known even back in 2005.

Plus for this scenario, we're going to assume L gets a chance to look at Rickeri's affidavit in May 2006.

We know the Death Note anime came out in October 2006, right?

Well, even though the manga came out much earlier for this scenario, let's just say that the main story of Death Note took place between 2006 and 2007.

So this would be a few months before Light picks up the Death Note.

He goes through the affidavit, and immediately, within minutes, he solves the case.

And I don't mean the way Rick Harry did, no no no. Elle goes much deeper.

He connects the dots and realizes instantly that Epstein's ring is global.

He sees that it implicates a stupid number of powerful people.

We're talking billionaires, government officials, presidents, royalty, and more.

Plus Elle also figures out

that Epstein is systematically collecting blackmail material on all of these powerful figures for a specific country

that just popped up in everyone's head.

I'm not going to get too deep into specific names or the countries involved to keep things straightforward for the video, but basically, L realizes that by 2006,

Epstein had already been operating for decades.

Most importantly, he understands that Epstein currently holds more institutional power and protection than even he does, the number one detective in the world.

Naturally, this also confirms that the Department of Justice and the FBI he works as part of are compromised.

This is where it stops being a detective case.

Japanese National Police, FBI Liaisons, and the CIRA Task Force.

He has institutional authority, but that also means he needs the system to actually work with him.

Now that same system is compromised and complicit, so if L plays by the rules, he'll get nowhere, which is why he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

When the director of the FBI learns that L is looking into the files, L receives an invitation to Little St. James, the so -called Epstein Island.

By this point, Epstein has owned this island for seven years.

Now, L is invited.

And if you think that's stupid, and you're wondering why on earth Epstein would invite a potential threat like L to his private island, you have to keep in mind who we're dealing with.

This is the same guy who was revealing every bit of information about what he does over Gmail

while most of you out here are using VPNs just to pirate some anime and games.

Yes, elites aren't exactly high IQ.

So once Epstein learns that the FBI's top detective is finally on to him, his first instinct is to simply invite the guy over.

what the play is going to be, but he still goes ahead and accepts the invitation for two reasons.

First, it's because even though he has a sense of morality and justice, his primary motivation is the desire to win, and because of that, he simply can't bring himself to back away from a challenge like this.

Second, it's because he can tell exactly why Epstein would invite him in the first place.

Now, from the looks of it, it's Watari who makes the trip while carrying a laptop with L connected via voice chat.

The second Watari steps off the helicopter, L starts cataloging He notices right away that the staff to guest ratio is crazy.

So there are dozens of employees, just for a handful of visitors.

He sees how every single sight line is controlled, how the security cameras monitor every guest, and how the entire environment is designed for observation and control.

Epstein gives him the tour, and then eventually offers Rattari a drink.

He accepts a glass of water, and after observing the glass for a split second through the screen, he takes a sip.

They sit on the terrace, and at this point, Epstein just goes ahead and comes right out with what he's doing.

He explains how he has the most powerful people in the world on camera, everyone from presidents and royalty to prime ministers, bankers, and scientists.

Epstein leans forward, and as L sees the void in his eyes, he reveals that what he and his backers are ultimately seeking is control.

Then Epstein extends his hand toward the laptop and offers L a chance to become an equal partner.

He wants to use L's brain to help him expand his network

so that they can eventually gain control of the entire world together.

100

body language through the feed.

101

He can tell that Epstein actually believes this, and that he truly wants to be the invisible hand moving civilization.

102

He can also see that Epstein isn't afraid of him at all.

103

If anything, Epstein is actually excited by him.

104

Now Epstein was clearly expecting some kind of a big response here, but Elle stays completely quiet on the voice chat.

105

Then Watari walks back to the table, picks up a few wrapped chocolates, and puts them in his pocket.

106

He just says, I'll take some for the flight if you don't mind.

107

And with that, he asks a staff member to tell they're ready to leave.

108

The moment is so absurd and so deliberately anticlimactic that Epstein doesn't even know how to respond.

109

He expects a negotiation or a rejection, or maybe even an acceptance.

110

But in all the decades he has operated, he had never experienced a complete dismissal like this.

111

He thought that since L already knew the truth, he could just offer him a partnership.

112

But this is how it went?

113

Little did Epstein know that the reason L didn't respond at the end was because the voice chat was actually a recording.

114

I mean, did I mention that the helicopter pilot himself, he wanted to physically observe the island with his own eyes.

115

So he tagged along, disguised as the pilot.

116

All the while his voice recording kept Epstein occupied.

117

Next, as the helicopter takes off, L looks down at the compound, shrinking below him.

118

Okay, what now?

119

If the FBI director is already compromised, and if Epstein's influence extends across multiple countries, how is L going to defeat him?

120

It's a problem, especially considering how the longer it takes, the more Epstein's influence is going to grow.

121

Plus, you have to remember this is still 2006, which is well before what happened in 2008.

122

L knows that he has to act right away, so he decides to go all in on the affidavit.

123

He realizes he has to crack everything Epstein has built to neutralize that influence, and that includes making the truth mainstream as early as possible.

124

In our world, it's taken until basically this year for the general public, especially in Western countries, to get a clear idea of what was really going on.

125

But L needs to get it out within 20 hours, not 20 years.

126

He starts by looking into potential journalists on to Epstein, and while he's reading through the Miami Herald, he finds Julie K.

127

Brown.

128

She's already doing exactly what he needs.

129

In reality, she's the one who eventually got the former police chief

130

and lead detective to talk publicly about how the case was sabotaged, and her series, Perversion of Justice, was what explained how Epstein secured that lenient plea deal in 2008.

131

Okay, so Elle seeks her out immediately and shares everything he has learned with her.

132

Now, Elle knows that journalists can only do so much.

133

They publish, people read, and then what?

134

Some come forward, but many would be either too afraid or too deep into the system to go public.

135

After all, Epstein reportedly used the phrase, those who help him will be compensated, and those who hurt him will be dealt with, to intimidate witnesses into staying quiet.

136

What L really needs is to create an irreversible cascade of information that makes the truth impossible to contain.

137

He begins gathering as much data as possible to build a web

138

that includes all the records of flights on the Lolita Express, financial donations, and public photos.

139

He makes notes on which individuals were likely there for as in financial or political leverage, and which were there for pleasure.

140

Then, for every compromised official like the FBI director, L identifies a clean counterpart or a political rival who would love nothing more than to see that person burn.

141

This is obviously easier said than done, and L needs help from hundreds of people like Reverie and Julie K.

142

Brown, but once he has enough solid information organized into a digital web, he prepares to make it public through multiple channels.

143

And here's where L's genius really shows itself.

144

He knows that if he just dumps everything at once, too big, too fast and it'll be easier for the general public to dismiss it as a conspiracy.

145

Plus, mainstream news outlets would get too many shutdown calls from their powerful friends.

146

So L does something counterintuitive.

147

When he's ready to release it, he intentionally leaves out the names of the most powerful people.

148

The initial release focuses entirely on Epstein's trafficking and blackmailing Ring, how it operates, how long it had been running, and how girls were recruited at schools.

149

The web mentions that powerful people were involved.

150

It has to, just to explain the scale, but it doesn't name them.

151

make sure that the initial wave of coverage focuses on the crime itself, rather than the politics of naming names.

152

The media runs with it.

153

Within 20 hours, the story stops being a local scandal and becomes global.

154

And that's when L makes his second move.

155

He sends anonymous emails to the rivals of every compromised official he's identified, and he sends them the full web.

156

He just gives them the truth and trusts that enough of them, for enough different reasons, will act.

157

Some will act because they have a moral compass.

158

Some will act because they see a massive political And some will act simply because they're terrified of being implicated themselves.

159

But even after that, L is just getting started.

160

The next step is going directly after the names on Epstein's list.

161

L anonymously sends a highly sanitized, encrypted message to a select few of the most powerful people on that list.

162

Specifically, the ones he deduced were only there for business leverage.

163

Since they were there for business, it's easier for them to talk their way out of the truly messed up stuff.

164

So L's message to them is simple.

165

right now, or it's a declaration of war.

166

This is how L creates absolute paranoia to fracture the network from the inside.

167

As much as L wants to destroy the system, he also wants to win his personal game against Epstein.

168

And to do that, he first has to make Epstein a liability

169

that the system he built can no longer afford to protect.

170

Now, remember how I mentioned that L is all three of the top three detectives in the world?

171

That's not public information.

172

To the public, the number two detective, Eraldo Coyle, and the number three, Denev, are completely different people.

173

It's a gives him three different lives to play with.

174

Another thing to keep in mind is that the web L creates isn't omniscient.

175

He doesn't have every single piece of evidence yet.

176

He only has what he's seen or deduced.

177

The real incriminating evidence only starts pouring in once the story becomes a global incident.

178

Once every major news outlet is on it, the momentum moves faster than anyone can pay to make it stop.

179

This is where L makes his move as Denev.

180

He publicly announces that he was the one who leaked the web, and to protect himself he reveals that he's created a If he fails to check in once a day,

181

a final, unencrypted version of the entire Epstein network file will be automatically released to every major news outlet

182

and law enforcement agency on the planet.

183

He makes it clear to everyone who is complicit that killing him only makes it worse.

184

And while this looks like an ultimatum, it's actually pure smokescreen to further crack the network.

185

You see, Epstein knows L is behind this because everything started falling apart the moment L entered the chat.

186

However, Epstein's acquaintances, the powerful men backing him, have a different idea.

187

to go down with him, especially when they realize they can simply launder their crimes through Epstein.

188

And L knows exactly what they're thinking.

189

In his room, he breaks down how Epstein's only utility to his backers was his ability to operate in the shadows.

190

That utility is now gone.

191

He's become a blindingly bright point of light in a scandal that threatens to engulf them all.

192

And because of that, they won't protect him anymore.

193

They'll make him the scapegoat and hope that his conviction calms the public outcry.

194

And it works.

195

Within a month of L getting involved, Over the next few months, he gradually releases information about the other offenders one by one,

196

and keeps the entire network in a state of terminal paranoia.

197

Naturally, once it becomes clear that Denev would keep leaking information, regardless of whether he is dead or alive, the hits start getting called in.

198

Multiple contracts are put out on both Elle and Denev.

199

This is where one of them seeks out the help of the world's second -best detective, Iraldo Coyle.

200

And of course, that is also Elle.

201

O 'Coyle persona to stage the deaths of both Elle and Denev.

202

It creates a massive wave of public outrage.

203

But the people who hired Coyle are satisfied.

204

But they're wrong.

205

As more arrests are made, and the power shifts to the clean counterparts Elle identified earlier, the old guard begins to lose their grip.

206

Still, many offenders remain untouched because, as a certain student in Japan would say, this world is rotten.

207

And speaking of that student, this is where things peak.

208

About half a year after Elle visited that island, Light Yagami picks up the death note.

209

It's the biggest story in the world.

210

So after Light tests the notebook, he starts writing the names of every offender on that list.

211

He strikes his classic pose, looks out over the city and says to himself, This world is rotten, and those who are making it rot deserve to die.

212

Someone has to do it, so why not me?

213

By the end of 2006, the Epstein network was neutralized.

214

Hard attacks for those who were already on trial.

215

Car accidents, overdoses, appearance suicides.

216

One by one, the names on the list drop dead.

217

the blackmailing, watch in frozen terror as everything they've built over decades now dies for no explainable reason.

218

Finally, from an unknown location, L watches the news as a reporter announces yet another unexplained heart attack of a high -profile figure.

219

He reaches for a sugar cube as he tries to make sense of it.

220

Someone is cleaning up Epstein's mess with a power that L doesn't understand.

221

This leads us into a version of L vs. Light that we've never seen before, Seasoning.
