And it's that taste that really|matters. Don't you think?

Anyway, give my regards to the boys.

Good Philosophy. Take it easy.

I want you to take a look at these.

Do they all work for western men?

Yes, think so.

She work for German,|She work for Holland.

And this girl she work for France.

to allow these women to go to Europe.

Many lady she want to go to holiday|in Europe.

So...

- Where's the package?|- No problem. It's safe.

You tell Em that|I'll meet her at Big Buddha at 5pm.

I'll return the package|when I've spoken to her, alright?

I don't know.

Yeah.

You know how crazy|kids get over these Thai girls.

Yeah... I know, I know.|But it's not just the kids.

Okay, same same as before.

You pay your respect to the buddha|you Give the kid one of these sweets.

At you signal we'll come to collect him. Ok?

Ok.

Em! Em!

How are you?

Happy to see you.

I thinking about you too much.

Listen, Em.

I've got something very important|to say to you.

I want you to come to England with me.

Farang always say this.

Come to England, come to Holland,|Come to Germany.

Yeah, well I'm serious.

- Do you have a passport?|- No.

Are you sure?

Don't Understand. What does it say?

Someone's made a passport for you|and its got a visa for Europe.

I think you'll make a trip abroad quite soon.

They're taking other ladies from the island.

This is a crime against you,|do you Understand?

This is a crime against women,|poor women.

It's called human trafficking.

Human trafficking?|I never hear this word before.

Okay. Imagine a man, a farang, right,

Any man offers you a job in England.

Maybe a waitress.|Promise you good money,

more money than|you can get in Thailand.

Money that you can send back|to your family.

And you say Okay. And he says...

you have to pay|for your own flight and visa.

You say, well... how... how can I do?

He says he will lend you the money.

Em, lend you the money.|May be 50,000 Baht.

And you come and work|for him in England...

and pay him back from your earnings.

So you agree, you come to England,|maybe with other Thai lady.

And when you arrive, some people,|they take you to the workplace.

It's not a restaurant or a bar.

It's a... warehouse, big empty building.

No waitress job, no bar job.

You are going to work as a prostitute|and there's no escape.

They'll lock you Up,|they'll drug you and beat you.

And if you do go away|where can you go?

You have no friends, no money.|You're in hell.

This is human trafficking!

Can we pay respect to buddha?

Sure.

You take one?

Adam, Me not good.

I have big shame.

At bungalow I make you sleep.

You want to make love?

Joey take your money.

You make me sleep with you.

He wanted me to make love to you?|I can't believe I've been so naive.

You lie to me, same same all farang.

You are not special.

You know, my mother and baby sister.|They need money.

Before Sao my boss,

but now Joey my boss.

He speak to me not good.|What can I do?

I cannot stop work now.

You've got to get off this island.|These people have plans for you.

No, Adam. I need job.

I'll help you.

- How?|- I don't know.

- You don't have money.|- I'll find the way.

My village at Isaan.

You write me. Maybe I see you one day.

- Sure?|- Yes.

Em, promise me one thing.

If someone offers you a job|In England, Germany,

or anywhere overseas, you don't take it.

Don't think about how much money|they say you can get. It's trap.

These people will hurt you,|do you Understand?

I stay in Thailand.

You have to go now.

This way.

Go now.

You have to say more than prayers.|Where is he?

He must know something is Up, eh?

See these,|packed with tranquillisers for me.

Do you know what,

I hate this island and I hate this country.

This is one f***ed Up twisted place.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for this, eh?

Very sad about your darling?

You mean Em? What's very sad?

No good for you, no good for me.

Not all Farang eat McDonalds.

My village no have Farang.
