Tomorrow (내일)

ALL CHARACTERS, EVENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INSTITUTIONS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CASES MAY CONTAIN SCENES THAT MAY BE UNCOMFORTABLE TO THE VIEWERS.

What an honest organism.

What you get

is what you give it.

If it sees the sun, it blooms.

If it doesn't, it wilts.

Don't you agree, Ryeon?

You didn't call me here to show me some flowers.

It's about the current suicide risk case.

Lee Young-chun. Age 91. A senior citizen living alone.

What about it?

It seems you'll be working together with the Escort Team for this case.

His life is set to end tomorrow.

-What? -In most cases,

people wish to live longer the more they age.

So, why is the last decision in his life

to kill himself?

I guess after all these years

he has deep wounds that have yet to heal,

or regrets.

Yes, you're right.

As you've said, whatever that wound in his heart may be,

shouldn't he live to his designated lifespan?

So you want me to heal a wound that he wasn't able to heal in decades,

in one day?

At the very least, shouldn't you make him feel

that his life had meaning?

TOMORROW

IV. A SOUL BECOMES A STAR

EPISODE 6

What's taking Ms. Koo so long?

It'd be nice if she could ask the Director to give us more personnel.

Why?

No one's coming... here.

I guess this team's way too intense.

This team feels like it's the outcast of Jumadeung.

I'm sure most people would prefer to work in the Escort Team,

where everyone has a fancy suit. Right?

Anyway, how long have you been working here at Jumadeung?

-Since the Joseon Dynasty. -Joseon Dynasty?

Ms. Koo's been here longer than you, so does that mean she's been here

since King Sejong or General Yi Sun-shin's time?

Do I look that old?

So how long have you…

Since the Qing Invasion of Joseon.

Qing Invasion of Joseon…

Enough with the chatter. I have something I need to say.

LEE YOUNG-CHUN, AGE 91

If he's going to pass away tomorrow,

what's the point of helping him find the meaning of life again?

What's certain is that we don't have much time.

I'm sure our task isn't just to keep him from committing suicide for a day.

Mr. Lim is right.

Get changed. We don't have much time.

Man.

I mean, do people still live in this neighborhood?

They must have left because of the redevelopment project.

How much farther?

It's that house.

Pull me, please.

Pull me.

What did I expect?

I don't think anyone lives here.

The bell doesn't work.

Is anyone home?

Do I have…

Good for you! I'm so jealous.

Is being dense your special ability?

My fingertips tingled though…

They really did…

Let's start by cleaning up a bit. And then we'll search.

Cleaning?

Just looking at clean spaces improves mental stability.

Especially if it's their home.

We'll need equipment if we're going to clean the place up.

I don't think there's a shop that sells them here,

so we'll need to go to another neighborhood.

It'll be more efficient to have one person go

rather than having everyone go together.

So, that person.

How should we pick that person?

-What a conundrum. -It is a conundrum.

I'll go.

Thank you.

Jeez!

They could have just told me to do it.

Why bother pressuring me like that?

-Mom. -Yes?

Why's that old man taking the trash?

It's because he didn't study hard.

You need to study hard if you don't want to end up like him, okay?

What a mean thing to say.

Sir.

Sir!

Where are you headed? I'll help you there.

No, thank you.

-Wait. -What?

LEE YOUNG-CHUN, AGE 91

Mr. Lee Young-chun?

Yes?

You must be busy at the district office.

Oh, not at all. I'm really not busy.

And I don't have anywhere else to use my energy.

But I feel bad for letting you do this…

You really don't need to.

I'm deceptively muscular under all this.

Is that so?

This neighborhood seems pretty lonely.

It used to bustle with people, but they all left.

Why didn't you go?

Me?

Well, they offered me a ridiculously small amount of compensation,

telling me I had to leave,

but I couldn't really move anywhere with that money.

And I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life.

Not to mention, I don't have that much time left anyway.

What?

There you are.

Hey, gramps!

I've been looking for you!

You really have a knack for being a nuisance, don't you?

You managed to walk here on those old bones, huh?

I told you to go live somewhere else.

Why won't you just listen?

Hey, I think you're being a bit rude.

Don't.

And who's this? Brought your grandson, did you?

You, take your grandpa somewhere else.

Do you know how much he's costing us?

He's just a young man who came to help me.

I understood, so please leave for the day.

Gramps.

-Hey! -No.

Gramps, we're not leaving until you do. Understand?

Would you look at that?

What's this?

No.

Why would a person who fought to save the country

be standing in the way when we're trying to develop it?

We need to clean up this crummy neighborhood

so that real estate prices can rise, and things can get nice.

So move, I'm telling you!

-No. -Jeez!

What are you going to do, gathering this stuff?

Think of how amazing you were when you were young.

Don't…

So why are you being such a nuisance now that you're old?

I'm sorry.

No, stop! Stop!

Sir!

Are you okay?

You bastard!

It's okay.

-Did you get into a fight? -Did you not fight back?

He was trying to help me…

It's not like it was just one person. How could I win against those thugs?

Then you shouldn't have attacked.

After what they did to Mr. Lee here, was I supposed to stand by and do nothing?

Don't you raise your voice at me when you didn't even win.

Excuse me, but who are you?

Are you from the district office too?

Are you Mr. Lee Young-chun?

Yes, that's me…

We're Grim Reapers.

What…

No, not me. Not yet. Just like half?

Mr. Lee Young-chun.

You will die tomorrow.

Are we just putting it out in the open just like that?

Telling people we're Grim Reapers?

Mr. Lee Young-chun doesn't have long to live.

I know, but…

He looks really healthy for his age.

It's the lifespan he's been designated.

Do you know how he's going to die?

The Escort Team said it'll be an acute illness.

He's a Korean War veteran.

How did you know that?

He had his Person of Distinguished Service to the State cap on.

So why is he here, alone?

I didn't see any family on the Red Light either.

Are you really…

a Grim Reaper?

Yes.

I am a Grim Reaper.

Maybe it's because I'm so close to my death,

but I feel this aura around you.

You really must be

Grim Reapers.

We are here

to save you.

Pardon?

You were preparing to kill yourself.

But you only have a day left to live.

If there's something you want,

anything you want to do or see,

we can do anything for you.

A few weeks ago,

I heard that
