Original subtitles

Hey, mister. What's wrong with you?

You caused a commotion.

What?

You shocked that lady.

I understand how you feel.

I reacted the same when I saw my dad too.

But if you act like that here, you could hurt her.

She's not my wife.

I see. Was she your wife?

You're lucky I struck a conversation just in time.

If she was left alone,

the memory data would've been damaged.

What are you talking about?

In this place,

you must take time to adapt.

If you don't, you can't live here.

And her heaven will disappear too.

-Her heaven will disappear? -Yes.

Who are you?

I'm Peach.

Do you want to join our group?

It'll be really helpful.

There are many people like us.

EP. 3 RENDEZVOUS WITH A MEMORY

Seri, open the mail from the editor again.

(Why not design your death?)

(Now you can design) (your beautiful death.)

Connect me to the editor.

(Where are you?)

Book my interview with Dr. K.

(I thought you weren't) (interested. What happened?)

I decided to start being interested.

(Okay, great.)

(But this guy is only) (active online.)

(I don't have his contact) (or number.)

(You're the one interviewing him.)

(You should find out.)

Do you dream in VR too?

It helps me sleep better, that's why.

You startled me.

Yi-hoo contacted me.

Are you crazy?

How can someone dead contact you?

Watch this.

(I'm sorry I couldn't explain) (in detail before I died.)

(I'm here.)

(I departed)

(for this place.)

It's "Deep fake" technology. They just changed faces.

I almost fell for it.

You're wrong.

I went to meet her.

We even had a conversation there.

What? Where?

BY N BY.

BY N BY? What is that?

YOU DESIGN YOUR LIFE WHY NOT DESIGN YOUR DEATH

I need to have authorization.

What's with all the firewalls?

But...

I'm none other than

the great Hacker Park.

Let's see.

Are they swindlers who make money off of dead people?

Hey, it's the person the editor talked about.

It's Dr. K, right?

Yes.

This.

What? VRorphin?

So you mean they used this

to upload someone's complete memory into an avatar?

This was found on Yi-hoo's body.

Do you still have it?

Call Cho Eun.

ORGAN COLLECTION TEAM CHO EUN

(Yes, Mr. Kim.)

Do you have the thing you found on my wife's body?

(Yes, I do.)

Can we get it from you right now?

(Right now?)

Another one was found on a donor yesterday.

I feel like I'll keep on seeing more.

So this is a VRorphin.

Yes, that's right.

Other family members say the information wasn't stolen.

The donors gave them up voluntarily.

Gave to whom?

Seiren.

She came the day Yi-hoo died.

Who's Seiren?

Then

that person must be related to Dr. K.

I saw Dr. K at BY N BY too.

Today Dr. K will make a public announcement about VRorphin.

Shall we go together?

Are these many people interested?

Ever since the law on euthanasia passed,

people became interested in death.

(Come on, smile.)

(Smile.)

(Gosh. Father,)

(how can I smile right now?)

(I'm not just dying.)

(I'll see you all later.)

(We'll stay apart) (just for a while.)

(Yes, Father.)

(Good.)

(I'm so happy I can go.) (after seeing you all here)

(I'll go and meet up.) (with your mom)

(We'll follow your lead)

(and join you later.)

(Hurry up and let him go.)

(Father.)

(We feel that we exist) (because of memories)

(We recognize ourselves)

(with that ability to remember.)

(VRorphin is a) (sensor electrode)

(that can be planted) (on the cerebral cortex)

(to pick up microelectrode) (brainwave signals)

(as small as one micron)

(to extract memory data) (from humans.)

(And that memory will live) (in a world that's everlasting.)

(When memories of more) (people are collected)

(a bigger world will form. )

(In that new world,)

(your memory data) (will never disappear.)

(You don't remember this place,) (do you?)

(What are you saying?)

(It's where we first met.)

(All humans will face the last) (moment of their life.)

(Did you miss me a lot?)

(Don't you ever part) (from me again.)

(I won't.)

Is such a technology really possible?

(But if you can meet) (the person you dearly missed)

(and reexperience) (the cherished moments,)

(that itself would be) (the beginning of another life.)

(It's no longer fearful) (to face death.)

(This is because now people can) (dream of life after death.)

How can someone dead dream?

(By uploading the memories of that) (person to continue their life.)

Even if someone's memories are kept, that person is still dead.

(The body may be dead, but) (memories will live on forever.)

If you're dead, you're dead! How can anything come back to life?

(Now, now. Please calm down.)

(It's not over just because) (you're physically dead.)

(If they can keep all the memories) (from their life)

(and continue for eternity,) (how can there be an end?)

Exactly. Where do you mean that memory will continue?

Stop the nonsense.

(Where did the souls of dead) (humans go until now?)

(Didn't we believe they'd) (go to heaven?)

Yes!

That's right!

(Instead of heaven,) (science can take care of it now.)

So where are those memories being downloaded?

(Where?)

(To your heaven.)

(I'll end it here today.)

(Good night, good dying.)

Good night, good dying.

Does he mean all the people uploaded with VRorphin

are in heaven?

They're invoking my curiosity.

Jae-hyun, let's hurry up and decode this.

I'm dying to know.

Do you have more of these?

Yes, at my office.

Should I come with you to grab them?

You go ahead. I'll join you soon.

You can come late. Don't rush.

You should come with us.

We heard a lot about you.

Please join us for some tea.

-Welcome. -Hello.

-Please go inside. -Are you well?

Yes.

Nice to see you. Please go in.

I'm the owner of the place, Choi Han-ki.

I'm enjoying Science M.

I see.

We all met thanks to Peach.

We get together to share our BY N BY experiences.

Now, let's talk inside.

Please go ahead.

She used to be a singer.

These days, she meets with her mother through BY N BY.

Hello, I'm Kim Eun-hee.

This is Ga-young's mom.

I go there to see my daughter.

Ga-young was only five.

I never thought I'd see her again.

Do you know how beautiful she looks when she runs to me?

I see.

I lost my whole family to fire.

But...

my youngest child survived a few days more

even with burns all over his body.

Thanks to his memories that were uploaded with VRorphin,

I can meet all of my family members at BY N BY.

You can meet people who didn't use VRorphin?

Yes. My son's memories of my wife and my eldest son

are all there.

That's right.

You can meet with people you miss at BY N BY.

I was surprised too.

But is that important?

What's important is that my family is really there.

Jae-hyun, what was your first impression of that place?

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Sure, I understand.

My dad passed away while working abroad.

When?

When I was 14.

The only thing I received was his urn.

I couldn't feel anything during his funeral.

What about your mom?

She disappeared with the compensation

his work gave us.

I didn't have a lot of memories with him.

I wanted to watch movies, go out to eat,

and go to the playground with him.

I wanted such a dad.

So?

I gathered all the call data I had, pictures,

and everything left on my phone to recreate him.

Then a VRorphin wasn't used on him.

No.

Seiren helped me to make what I wanted to see as my memory.

It was made...

It makes me happy. To share memories.

Dad,

do you remember going to Disney World?

Then he brings up Photoshopped pictures

and data from the memory storage.

"Of course."

"You gave me a hard time when you

cried while taking a picture with Mickey."

Well... I make memories similar to other people this way.

So? Are you happy?

Yes.

Weren't you happy?

But it's all fake.

You hurt her because you talk like this.

When I spoke to her,

I could feel it.

We could understand each other.

How do you know that?

I just do.

HACKER PARK

(When are you coming?)

I'll get out here.

I'm coming now.

(Hurry up.)

I found protocol traces on this VRorphin from

when it communicated with BY N BY.

I tracked the IP

and went through the dark web

to find this.

Dr. K is brain scientist Jang Jin-ho.

SEPARATING FROM THE FUTURE

But, Dr. Jang passed away five years ago.

That means someone is deep faking.

This book was written before his death,

and it explains about VRorphin.

Dr. Jang tried to upload the brain of his daughter

who was suffering from Niemann-Pick disease.

"Niemann-Pick disease"?

It's like children's Alzheimer's.

He wanted to preserve his daughter's

the disappearing memories.

That's how VRorphin started.

I found this video on the deep web from five years ago.

(Until now, mankind relied) (on god)

(to deal with death.)

(Since the law for euthanasia) (passed,)

(death is now under the discretion) (of humans.)

(No god can take part in death.)

What if you don't have to rely) (on god)

(to communicate with the dead) (with the help of science?)

What if they can still feel alive) (after death? )

(That will open a new world) (for death.)

Yi-hoo also went to this world

Dr. Jang is talking about with the VRorphin.

YI-HOO ATTACHMENT: ONE VIDEO

Yi-hoo contacted me again.

Hurry up and open it.

(Honey, did you get home okay?)

(When you were here,)

(I think I made a mistake.)

(Are you still... mad at me?)

(Honey,)

(I'm still here.)

(I'll wait for you.)

You have to go.

Dr. K is Dr. Jang.

This is all made up by Dr. Jang.

Your wife is adjusting well.

How can a dead person adjust to anything?

She's adjusting well to the memories she wanted to cherish.

Where's Dr. Jang Jin-ho right now?

You know he died five years ago, right?

Didn't Dr. Jang make this place?

You can say that.

Can I meet Dr. Jang here too?

If it's what you want, you'll meet him one day.

If you meet Dr. Jang there and feel that he's still alive,

you'll feel that your wife's real too.

That's the new world.

Thank you for coming.

I know you'd wait until I come.

Did you know?

When a firefly flies high,

it means there isn't any wind.

A firefly?

Where?

When a firefly emits light,

they say it's proposing to one another.

Do you remember this?

Yes.

I had lost it.

Isn't it amazing?

One, two, three.

Honey!

No! Don't!

Hurry!

Wait, wait.

Wait. Hold it.

I drank so much water.

You made me drink water.

What? Wait.

What?

-Your necklace. -What?

What do we do?

Did you find it?

No, I couldn't.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

If you can't forget about

what you lost,

then you never lost it.

If you forget about something,

that means you wanted to get rid of it in the first place.

If you can't forget about something no matter what you do,

that means it was something you

didn't want to lose no matter what.

Is there such a thing to you?

Can I ask you something too?

Sure.

The moments I spent with you

are what I can't forget.

Like you said, I don't think I wanted to lose them.

But,

I lost you, yet you're here.

You should be in my memories,

but you're here right now.

Then right now,

are you in my memories?

Or am I in your memories?

I don't know.

I...

don't know either.

I mean,

I can't even believe myself.

Do you...

believe in yourself?

I...

believe in my memories.

They say

everyone has a door they can't close on their own.

One day,

someone will come along to close it.
