12

President Wood considers the implications of talking to the girl who is considering jumping from the top of Shiniki City Hall which will be publicly broadcast. She calls herself Kanae Kuyo, but Wood and Seizaki suspect she may be Ai Magase. Seizaki offers to interpret, but agent Hardy insists on taking the risky role himself and Wood agrees. Wood tells Kuyo that he does not yet have an answer for her, but convinces her to wait until he does, to everyone’s relief. Later, Wood realizes that continuity is good, and therefore suicide is wrong, but when the tries to communicate with Kuyo, he hears Magase's voice. When Wood leaves the conference room, Seizaki realizes that something is wrong and then finds all the interpreters dead. The security staff are ordered to cut electronic communication and find the president. Seizaki finds Wood on the edge of the roof, prepared to commit suicide, even though he admits that it is not a “good” thing to do. They both realize that Seizaki must kill him to prevent his suicide. Seizaki reluctantly shoots him, and then Ai Magase appears on the roof as Kanae Kuyo. When Seizaki points his gun at her, she asks him the difference between good an evil. He struggles with his response and a shot is heard. Some time later, a woman resembling Ai Magase alights from a bus at a small village and meets Seizaki's son. (Source: Wikipedia)
