Vinyan Page #3

- You can keep the photo.

- Yeah.

I have some business in the Mergui Island,

near the village where you saw him.

You will come with me.

Hey, Sonchai.

Tomorrow we'll look for your son.

Sonchai is my best captain.

Sometimes... Sometimes I feel like...

Like he's here in the room with me.

Would you like to join me?

Yeah, all right.

You look like you need a drink.

Well, I wasn't really expecting

to be here, that's all.

Yeah, I guess not. Come on in.

Paul?

Paul?

Wait!

Hey!

- Did you take those?

- Yes.

That...

Video of those kids in the village,

did you do that?

Do you think it's possible it could be him?

I honestly don't know.

When I was in Rwanda, a colleague and I

had to clear a mass grave.

There was this woman there, she was

screaming and yelling and pointing.

We tried to get her to go away,

but she wouldn't budge.

We pulled body after body out of there.

Mothers, fathers, children.

Then finally, at the bottom of the hole,

under this heap of dead meat,

there was a child, baby boy.

He was in a bad way but he was alive.

Her son.

So do you think it's possible

that Josh could have been traded?

People up in the islands are poor.

When things get really rough, they make do

with the only capital they have.

When someone dies a bad death,

the spirit becomes confused.

It does not know where to go or what to do.

The spirit becomes angry,

it becomes vinyan.

What do the fire lamps do?

Light is to help guide the vinyan home,

to the house of the dead

so vinyan can rest.

Each light is for one spirit.

There's so many.

You can light one.

Joshua's not dead.

Not for Joshua. For me.

Light one for me.

- I'd better go.

- Really?

- I left Jeanne alone. I'd better go.

- You did, didn't you?

Jeanne?

Hey, excuse me.

Have you seen a white woman?

Hey, seen a white woman?

Okay.

Good, now no problem for you.

This is where the Salone

and Moken sea gypsies live.

Very close to where we think your son is.

We'll go there first.

The boy is in the village.

You have to pay before you go there.

Pay?

No. We've already paid. We've paid Mr. Gao.

Mr. Khun has worked very hard.

- For f***'s sake!

- All right. Paul, Paul, Paul.

Pay him, please.

Twenty thousand baht.

White boy, good boy.

We hope so, yeah.

Twenty thousand?

Follow that man.

White boy. Good boy.

Mummy.

Mummy.

- Me Joshua.

- It's not him.

- Me Joshua.

- No, no! It's not him, it's not him.

Jeanne!

- Give me my money.

- What's wrong?

That boy was not good?

Yeah, you could say that.

Not f***ing good. No.

You didn't like him?

You f***ing lied to me!

You paid for him,

why didn't you take him?

That? I paid for that thing in there?
