ONE WEEK EARLIER
AIM ARTHIT THAMMANI
WRITER, EXECUTIVE EDITOR,
THE GENERATIONS, SLEEPLESS PUBLISHING
[sighs]
What are you reading?
[chuckles]
[woman laughs]
[Aim] Mm
You know, you were really brave.
If I was lost in the jungle as a kid,
I'm sure I would have died.
- There's no way I would have survived.
- Huh.
- There's no way.
- [giggles]
Um, there's a line that I really like
"You will know who truly loves you
only when you disappear."
[chuckles]
And how does that make you feel?
It makes me feel
like I want the author's autograph.
Ah.
Hmm
Where should I sign?
[romantic music playing]
[woman laughs]
[Aim] You seem to feel at home here.
Because I'm with you.
Because we're here together.
Well, then,
we should stay here together.
Forever.
[laughs and squeals]
Thank you.
If Mr. Too asks,
I'll say you went on a business trip
to Koh Chang on your own.
[somber music playing]
ROONGROJ FARM
[horn blares]
[alarm beeps]
- Is Mr. Too home?
- He hasn't returned from the stables yet.
It's all right. I'll do it myself.
[suspenseful music playing]
IF YOU FEEL AT HOME WITH ME,
LET'S BE TOGETHER FOREVER
[wind rustling]
[crickets chirping]
[horses neighing]
[snorting]
[man] When you were away, Miss Lilly,
he escaped from his stable
and crashed into one of the gates.
You're gonna be okay.
We should put him out of his misery.
It's what's best for him, ma'am.
[whinnies]
Let's not do anything yet.
I'll ask my friend the vet to come over.
Let's see what he can do.
- He's suffering.
- Just do what I say.
Yes, ma'am.
[horse snorting, neighing]
[neighing]
[sighs]
Good evening, sir.
It's terrible.
Mm-hmm.
So, was everything okay
when you spoke with the artist?
Mm-hmm. It went really well.
Hmm.
Did you leave money in the car?
Why do you ask?
Well, your driver is spending
an awful lot of money.
That's what Chart told me.
I think he's stealing.
Do you want me to fire Sorn?
[horse snorting loudly]
There's no need.
He's an honest guy.
I just gave him some money.
Why did you do that?
- He works well.
- Meaning?
He looks after the car,
and keeps it clean, you know.
It was just pocket money.
- [sighs]
- I'm going back.
- [gunshots]
- [horse screams]
[horse thuds]
- [other horses neighing]
- [crash]
[hooves pattering]
[sighs]
[tense music playing]
I put him out of his misery.
[gasps]
[sobbing]
[soft music playing]
- [alarm beeps]
- [door opens]
[door closes]
[Aim] Orn. You're already back?
I thought you were back tomorrow?
[Orn] No, it was today.
You must have mixed up the dates.
[sighs]
I'm so stiff after the flight.
And how did everything go
on the photoshoot?
It was so beautiful.
Well, to get there was really hard.
I was totally beat.
- Mm-hmm.
- But once you're up on top
The view!
Cool.
We should go together sometime.
Okay.
So, Aim, tell me, did you ever find
that Portuguese translation of 1984?
No, never.
Look what I found.
That's nice.
You don't look very happy.
Sure I am.
Why?
Hmm.
You should go take a shower.
I already took mine. Okay?
[typing]
Mm.
Ow!
[sighs]
Hey. So, where are you going?
I have to leave the country
for three days.
Why did you take two jobs
without taking a break?
You don't usually take jobs back-to-back.
A good friend of mine
was looking for some help.
[suitcase thuds]
I gotta go.
[woman] Today's guest is
a well-known host himself,
as well as editor of The Generations,
one of the most popular online media
companies in the entire country.
Thank you for being with us, Aim.
We are here to discuss your first book,
a very successful book
that many consider essential reading
and a huge inspiration in their own lives.
I am, of course,
talking about Lost & Found.
- Yes.
- It's a true story.
An autobiography based on your own
experiences as a child lost in the jungle.
- You made headline news back then.
- Actually, I felt guilty at the time.
I mean, so so many people went
through so much because of me.
But to have survived in the jungle
all on your own was quite incredible.
What went through your mind back then?
Where did you find that courage?
I remember, way back then,
feeling like I had grown up.
Before that, I was a little kid,
wasting my life away.
But then, alone in the jungle,
that's when it became clear to me
that I had to live my life.
I was very scared, of course.
And my family I imagined
how worried and desperate they were,
always wondering if I was dead or alive.
So that's when I decided
I was going to make it.
- [man] Cut.
- [woman] Aim, there's a call for you.
- Thanks.
- [man] Thanks, everyone.
THE OUTSTANDING
[phone vibrating]
This is Aim.
[Too] Hello, Aim.
My name is Too.
I own the Roongroj Farm.
Yeah.
[ominous music playing]
- Don't forget, follow up the other pieces.
- Of course.
- Is this the painting delivered today?
- Yes, ma'am.
We should, uh,
hang the big paintings here,
and the smaller works can go downstairs.
- Okay?
- Understood. I'll take care of it myself.
Is this from the artist
you went to see on the island?
Mm-hmm.
I thought you told me you had a meeting?
The meeting's here.
- Can I borrow your office?
- Mm-hmm.
[footsteps approaching]
[footsteps stop]
[tense music playing]
- [Too] Pleased to meet you.
- Good evening.
We can talk upstairs.
[tense music builds]
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[Too sighs]
So, you already know my wife?
That's true.
I've I've interviewed Lilly before.
That was a really good interview.
I loved it.
I even learned things about
her that I never knew before.
But then, that's my Lilly.
I'm just never sure what's going on.
I never know whether she's mad with me,
or whether or not
she's hiding something from me.
Let me know what your secrets are
to making her talk.
No secret, nothing like that at all.
No magic tricks.
I just try to make sure that all my guests
feel completely relaxed and trust me.
That's all.
[Too] Mm-hmm.
Let's talk business, then.
So, this year,
our farm celebrates its 50 years
of existence.
I would like you to write a piece
on the history of our family.
[sighs]
Well, to be honest,
I don't usually accept these offers.
It has to be something
that interests me personally.
I understand.
But I would like to invite you
to visit our home.
I promise you that if you accept,
you'll find it interesting.
[Lilly] Why did you agree to do it?
What could I do? It would have looked
suspicious if I'd turned him down.
It's just that he's been
acting really weird for a while now.
[Lilly breathing shakily]
I think he already knows about us,
but he just hasn't caught us yet.
[sighs]
We have to break up.
Let's end it now, before there's trouble.
I'm a married woman,
and Orn's your girlfriend.
[sighs]
Why did we let this get so far?
[sobs quietly]
I'm going to leave Orn.
Can you imagine a life
where we're not together?
[Lilly gasps]
Because I can't.
[tender music playing]
[sobs]
[retches]
Sorn, stop the car.
[retching]
Miss Lilly, are you all right?
Should I take you to the hospital?
I'll be fine.
- Let's find a pharmacy.
- Yes, miss. I'll find one for you.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
[alarm beeps]
Hey. Have you eaten yet?
Want me to order something?
[thud]
A camera?
What are you, a pervert?
Put an end to it
and I'll forget about it.
- [hits table]
- I don't love you anymore.
Okay.
I wonder what the press will say
about this.
I don't really care.
[sighs] I love her.
- You don't care?
- Mm-hmm.
Fine, then.
If you don't care, you won't mind
if I tell them the truth about your book.
Let's see how courageous you are then.
Lying piece of shit.
[unsettling music playing]
[phone vibrating]
Lilly.
Aim?
We need to talk.
Okay.
Can you meet me at the gallery tomorrow?
Lilly, is everything okay?
I have something to tell you.
[phone chimes]
ARE YOU SURE
YOU REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS CLIP?
[alarm beeps]
[unsettling music continues]
[Aim] Lilly? Lilly.
Sorry about meeting like this.
What's wrong?
Lilly?
Lilly?
Aim, after we finished our call yesterday,
this girl came up to me
and asked me to take her picture.
[girl] Excuse me.
[breathing shakily]
Sorry?
[ominous music playing]
Would you please take a photo of me?
Okay
- You mean right here?
- Uh-huh.
Um, how do I take a picture?
Just press the button on the bottom.
[girl breathing shakily]
[Lilly] Are you all right?
[girl] I'm fine, thanks.
Are you ready?
One, two

- [crashing]
- [high-pitched ringing]
- [mechanical ticking]
[ticking slows]
[sounds fade]
- [gasps]
- [phone thuds]
[Lilly] Aim, I made someone disappear.
What? Disappear?
Wh who disappeared?
[Lilly] She did. The young girl.
What are you talking about,
Lilly? That's impossible.
- Here, I'll show you.
- Lilly
[click]
[clicking]
That's enough, Lilly. What's going on?
What's the point?
You don't believe me anyway.
Forget about it.
Just go home.
So it deletes people?
[tense music playing]
Aim.
Aim. Aim! What are you doing?
Aim! Don't do it.
- Aim.
- It can delete people, right?
[Lilly] Aim, stop!
- [high-pitched ringing]
- [mechanical ticking]
[sounds fade]
[intense music playing]
- Aim!
- Where'd he go?
I tried to tell you.
Come on, we gotta go. Come on!
[Aim] What just happened?
How do we bring back
the people in this thing?
I have no idea.
Before I came here,
I tried absolutely everything.
The picture is the only thing left of her.
Is he inside the phone?
How does it work?
Do they just disappear inside it?
I don't know!
I know as much as you do.
The girl at the supermarket, before you
took her picture, did she say anything?
No she said nothing else.
I'd never seen her before then.
She asked me to take her picture,
and that's it.
[ominous music playing]
Do you think someone saw us?
[sighs]
[gasps softly]
I don't think so.
Nobody'll miss him.
[sighs]
Lilly
Orn found out about us.
How? [gasps]
She hid a camera.
She said that
if I didn't end the relationship,
she'd go public with the recording.
She can't possibly do that to us.
It would end my marriage.
[gasps shakily]
What do we do, Aim?
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
That's nice.
It's been a long time
since you took a picture of me.
Just let me pose properly.
Mm.
Why aren't you taking the picture?
It's like when we met each other.
Remember, when we were
interns at that magazine?
You were the creative intern
and I was the photographer.
I slipped out to take a nap,
and when I woke up,
you were taking my picture.
I had to fight you
to try to get that phone.
Those were good times.
Can we go back to how we were?
It's all over, Orn.
You don't have to do it.
[somber music playing]
You made your choice.
[tense music playing]
[tense music builds]
[Aim grunts quietly]
[breathing unsteadily]
