I believe you have a good heart.

You save me same same in the movie.

But when you marry Thai lady -

And baby sister.

So Em, do you want to take Adam|to be your husband?

Adam is my darling.

And Adam,|can you take Em to be your wife?

Em is my darling.

Okay you are now married.

Is that all?

What more do you need?

Big pain Adam.

She's bleeding. She's bleeding a lot.

Easy. Easy.

Okay. Okay.

- How far are we from the mainland?|- Maybe one hour.

Just hold on, Em Okay?

We will get you to the hospital very soon.

Promise me...

you take me home to my mother.

Yes, I promise you, okay?|I'll take you home to mother.

We could have gone to the police.

But what good would that do?

I knew what Em wanted.

I Used the cash in Bill's|wallet to buy an old pick-up...

and then I made a long journey north.

So you kept your promise.

(OUT - Thai language -I regret to|inform you that your daughter is dead.

The police|in Surat Thani have launched...

a murder investigation against|a western mafia.

Your daughter was killed|by the western mafia.

We carried the coffin to a clearing|in the forest.

It was a simple ceremony.

The monks laid flowers|and then blessed Em.

This evening family|and friends brought food...

and drink to mama's house.

As I looked around all|I could see were kind faces -

People take care of each other here.

I'm beginning to learn what family means.

Today some children|were playing on the road.

They greeted me with smiles and laughter.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

What will become of my new family?

The promise I made to Em to take care|of mama and baby sister...

could conveniently be forgotten...

Perhaps it's difficult to believe that...

I can make my home|in a poor farming village.

But this is the heart of Thailand.

And as a western man.

I still have a lot to learn.
