A SOCIAL SYSTEM WAS PUT IN PLACE TO FACE DEATH
[soothing music]
[monitor beeping]
All preparations for the euthanasia are complete.
We'll get in touch with you when the Preparation Committee is ready.
-Okay. - [engine sound]
EP 1 - THE REMAINING PERSON
Name, Cha Yi-hoo.
Age, 38.
She was diagnosed with terminal heart cancer last December.
[bell dings] What action would you like to take?
To register a memorial account.
What's your relation to the applicant?
Her husband.
Please add pictures, videos, and text
in the basic information section about you and the applicant.
Your memories with the applicant can stay with you forever.
Do you agree?
Yes.
This account's sole purpose is to remember Ms. Cha Yi-hoo.
Do you agree?
Yes.
Once the registration is approved,
Ms. Cha's active networks will close.
Do you agree?
SAY "YES" TO AGREE
[takes deep breath]
Yes.
I...
agree.
Ms. Cha Yi-hoo's memorial account has been registered.
Once you upload the death certificate in the given time,
the account will become active.
Thank you for using our services.
[takes deep breath]
[bell dings]
Is there anything I can help with?
Let's talk later.
I wrote down all the days
you have to water the plants.
[serene music]
Yes. I know.
I'm...
reminded of...
what you said before.
What?
That it's a good thing...
we don't have...
any kids.
Do you still think so?
Yes.
Kim... Ji-hyo...
What? Ji-hyo?
If our baby was born,
I was going to name her that.
Me dying doesn't mean
I'll cease to exist from myself.
What are you saying?
It just means I'll cease to exist in you.
That's... what makes me sad.
Do you really think
you will
disappear from my life?
[sighs]
[monitor beeping]
[soft music]
I really love
the smell of nut pine trees.
The smell of phytoncide?
No.
It reminds me of my mom's scent.
[Man takes deep breath]
- [Yi-hoo takes deep breath] - [man chuckles]
[soft chuckle]
[monitor beeping]
[door bell]
[bell dings] You have a guest.
Are we expecting someone?
Who is it?
I'm here to see Ms. Cha Yi-hoo.
Honey.
It's for me.
I need to get some things organized.
What brought you here at this hour?
I have a contract with your wife.
A contract?
May I go in?
[footsteps]
Wait. What contract?
I guess she didn't tell you.
Pardon?
Honey...
I asked her to come.
Can you give us some space?
Okay...
It's not too late to cancel it.
It's okay.
[eerie music]
Aren't you afraid?
I'm not afraid.
We'll be monitoring and recording
the full process of Ms. Cha's euthanasia.
Yes, I'm aware.
We'll start recording now.
Okay.
You understand only her family can legally turn the switch, right?
Yes.
The drug prepared by our medical team
will be supplied by you, the husband. Is that correct?
Yes.
Once you press the button,
the machine will run the way it was prepared to.
I'll start now.
[start sound]
[device beeps]
[screeching machine sound]
She'll fall asleep once the propofol gets in her system,
and when Pavulon is supplied, it'll stop her heart.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
When the hospice system confirms Ms. Cha's heart has come to a stop,
they'll contact the Korea National Institute of Health.
Okay.
[bell dings]
What kind of contract did my wife sign?
We help keep her memories.
Are you from a memorial company?
[chuckles]
No.
It's not about saving pictures or records with us.
Then what do you do?
They're the memories she wants to hold onto.
[music intensifies]
I'm Seiren.
You'll need my contact.
[swiping sound]
[bell dings] SEIREN
[loud breathing]
[bell dings]
We'll start monitoring Ms. Cha Yi-hoo's euthanasia process.
[bell dings]
Honey.
I'm ready...
[heavy breathing]
It hurts...
[music intensifies]
It hurts...
[button beeps]
[machine sound]
[heavy breathing]
[soft music]
[quiet breathing]
Honey.
Yes?
[slow breathing] I'm sleepy.
Okay, let's sleep together.
I'm sorry.
[breathing shakily]
[machine sound]
[alert sound] 22:13:28. The time of death has been registered with the KNIH.
Seri. A message.
[bell dings] Who would you like to send it to?
All of Yi-hoo's contacts.
[bell dings] She doesn't have any family. I will send it to her friends.
Please tell me what you would like to send.
Yi-hoo has just left this world.
Per her wish, there won't be a funeral.
Please wish her well
and free of pain wherever she is.
Send it.
[bell dings] I'll send it.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm Chief Cho Eun of KNIH's Organ Collection Team.
I'm here to collect the organs your wife donated.
Is it okay to proceed?
Yes.
[phone rings]
HACKER PARK
Are you okay, man?
I know it wasn't easy to make this decision.
I'm sure she went to a better place.
[eerie music]
Are you going to be alone? I'll go over.
Forget it. Don't bother.
Mr. Kim Jae-hyun?
Could you come here for a moment?
Do you know what this is?
What is it?
We found this on another donor yesterday too.
Where did you find it?
Here...
I'm not sure what it is either.
Isn't it something left by the Euthanasia Team?
Then could we take this with us?
Sure, go ahead.
Here. This is the list of organs the deceased agreed to.
Please sign here.
I'll contact you after they've been donated.
I'll give you my name card.

[bell dings] CHIEF CHO EUN, ORGAN COLLECTION TEAM
[soothing song plays]
[groaning]
[camera clicks]
[camera clicks again]
Are you up?
[camera clicks again]
[chuckles]
I love how you look from the back.
I love the sea...
when it rains.
[swiping sound]
[bell dings] What is it now?
Don't shoot.
Come on. Hurry.
[swiping sound] What? What is that smell?
- Ta-da! - What is this?
Is it miyeokguk?
It's so old-fashioned to have it on birthdays.
[laughs softly]
Wait. No, don't eat it yet.
[Jae-hyun laughs]
[Yihoo chuckles]
Let's see.
How is it?
It's too salty!
Is it?
Yes, it's salty.
Drink this.
[bell dings] You can add more memories with the deceased at any time.
CHA YI-HOO
[bell dings]
Hello. This is Cho Eun of the Organ Collection Team.
Your wife's organs were donated to the Genome Editing Lab per her request.
Please check your benefits as the family member of a donor.
Feel free to call me with any questions.
[bell dings]
At least you have a lot of memories with Yi-hoo.
I have zero memories or moments.
I decoded my whole life,
and there were only two women.
Mom and Mi-young.
- Did you call me? - No. Just rest.
Why?
Did you hear that?
[phone rings]
(Editor)
Geez. This guy never sleeps.
Hey, are you with Jae-hyun right now?
Why don't you call him directly?
Why did you call me?
Put me on the monitor.
[sighs] [swiping sound]
Gosh.
Are you okay, Jae-hyun?
Are you having a drink?
Why didn't you invite me?
Right.
I know you like mysterious things.
Do you want to take a look at this?
[mysterious music]
How long will you rely on religion for the answer to human death?
Is it impossible for science to solve this problem of death?
Why not design your death?
Now you can design your beautiful death.
Designing your death?
What kind of nonsense is this?
But this has become viral online.
It's only going to get hotter.
On that note,
could that man be a scientist or a pseudo-religious leader?
Isn't this a job for we press to find out?
That's why
we should interview him before the others.
Mi-young, turn it off. [bell dings]
He's so inconsiderate of the bereaved.
It's been just a few hours since your wife passed.
Sometimes I envy his passion.
That's how he became the editor, I guess. Just drink.
[sighs]
[bell dings] It's time for Yi-hoo's medicine.
She doesn't need it anymore.
[bell dings] Should I delete the alarm for her medication?
Yes.
[bell dings] It has been deleted.
[calm music]
[sad song plays]
[phone rings]
[bell dings] Where are you, Jae-hyun?
Let's grab some food.
Where are you?
[bell dings]
You received mail from Yi-hoo.
What do you mean?
[bell dings] Please check.
Forget it.
[bell dings] It's a video mail.
[sighs] Open it.
[bell chimes]
Honey.
It's me.
You must be so surprised.
Well...
It's hard to explain,
[suspensful music]
but I'm here.
