FOLLOWING THE NEW LAW ON EUTHANASIA,

A SOCIAL SYSTEM WAS PUT IN PLACE TO FACE DEATH

All preparations for the euthanasia are complete.

We'll get in touch with you when the Preparation Committee is ready.

Okay.

EP 1 - THE REMAINING PERSON

Name, Cha Yi-hoo.

Age, 38.

She was diagnosed with terminal heart cancer last December.

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

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.

Is there anything I can help with?

Let's talk later.

I wrote down all the days

you have to water the plants.

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?

I really love

the smell of nut pine trees.

The smell of phytoncide?

No.

It reminds me of my mom's scent.

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?

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.

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.

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.

What kind of contract did my wife sign?

We help keep her memories.

Are you from a memorial company?

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.

I'm Seiren.

You'll need my contact.

SEIREN

We'll start monitoring Ms. Cha Yi-hoo's euthanasia process.

Honey.

I'm ready...

It hurts...

It hurts...

It hurts...

Honey.

Yes?

I'm sleepy.
