Does the phrase starting with "say" have the meaning of the subjunctive mood?

Yes, you are correct. When a sentence begins with "say" or "let's say," the speaker is suggesting a hypothetical or imaginary situation. In this video, the speaker is speculating that perhaps his guess about being dead is wrong. Ex: Say you won the lottery. What would you do? Ex: Let's say aliens and zombies exist. Who would win in a fight?
