9

USA President Wood discusses the voluntary suicide law with Mayor Flores of Hartford, which is known as a major insurance center in the United States. Flores claims that he is passing the law in the city because he believes that he is reflecting America's "frontier spirit", however the President advises caution and he pressures Flores to delay. Wood speaks to the president of France about Grenoble adopting the law, but the French president considers it of little importance. Later, the FBI chief advises the President that Ai Magase is suspected to be behind the mass suicides and Seizaki arrives to provide additional background information on her. Seizaki travels with FBI agent Samuel Hardy to Hartford where he tracks down a phone call made to the mayor just before he visited dying patients in hospital. While Seizaki listens to a recording of the conversation, he suddenly hears Magase's voice speaking directly to him. (Source: Wikipedia)
