There is a place I once found as a kid

which exists deep inside the crevices

of my mind.

I go there in the moments before waking.

It remains there.

It will always be there.

One day, I will never leave.

Sydney!

Get down from there!

Sorry.

I just wanted to see.

- Nui, right? - Yeah, yeah.

The flight out of America was brutal.

Some child kept kicking the back of my chair.

I asked the flight attendant to tell the kid to shut up.

But you know, they wouldn't do it. So...

I almost turned around and did it myself.

Yeah, I hope so.

So, how old are you?

I’m fifteen years old.

How old are you?

I’m sixteen.

Uhm...

Do you know the band Oasis?

- Oasis? - Oasis.

♪ Don’t look back in anger ♪

♪ I heard you say ♪

Um, it's music.

America.

Daddy and me like...

Like sisters, right?

You married, Nui?

No, sir.

Makes two of us.

Dad, look!

They're not wearing any helmets.

They'll crash and burn.

You promised me you'll never be so stupid.

I promise.

Atta girl.

You know what she loves?

The color red.

Once upon a time, I was, you know,

going through her things, and I accidentally misplaced

a few red items.

God, did she have a fit!

All I did was move this red thing there, or...

red shirt to this drawer-- Whatever, you know?

She had a full nervous breakdown.

Wouldn't eat for a week.

She believed every piece of clothing

needed to have a story

otherwise, clothes were meaningless...

a costume for parrots.

She questioned if a new story was brewing

in this foreign land.

Yeah.

Hold on.

What's the area?

It's expensive, no?

Hold on. What's that?

What? No. No, that's not gonna work.

No. Client's gonna be there on Monday.

That is exactly what I said.

No.

Hold on.

Mr. Nui, what were you saying?

This shit?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

That’ll do.

Yeah, call me when it's done.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Mr. Nui.

Where do you see yourself in ten years time?

Huh?

Ten years from now,

what do you see yourself doing?

You know, your dreams, your ambitions.

Why do you need to sell this land?

Well, Mr. Nui.

When you have no money

you gotta get creative with your resources.

Hello?

Mom?

What time is it there?

Sunset.

It's the middle of the night here.

Do you think when I'm back from Thailand

I could stay with you for a while?

Honey.

But...

can I see you at least?

I mean, that’s allowed, right?

Does he know you're calling?

No.

Baby.

I know, I know, but like...

I don't know, I don't know.

Babe, it’s late.

It's my daughter.

You didn't show up at my recital.

Baby, I was in a different state.

But you could’ve come, right?

Dad said he offered to buy your plane ticket.

What? No.

That's not what happened, Syd.

We had a talk.

He told me not to show up.

What? Why?

I don't know.

He was really stern.

Made threats and everything.

And I'm not about to battle him in court.

Maybe if things cool off,

I'll be there for the next one.

All right?

Pinky promise?

Pinky promise.

Ugh, Dad, I can't breathe.

Yeah, yeah, it'll loosen up in the water.

Stop it.

There you go.

Hey!

Take a picture of me and my daughter?

Can we not?

Smile, Sydney.

Ah! Yeah, it's perfect.

We look happy.

Alright.

Have fun, you two.

There are no sharks here, right?

What?

Shark?

No, no have.

- No, no have. - It’s not funny!

No, you have sharks, or no, there are no sharks?

No have shark.

Hey, what's your name?

Huh?

Your name?

Name I, Ether.

I'm Sydney.

She could lose herself in things like

speckled patterns of sunlight bouncing over ocean waves.

She considered these minute details

expressive of some universal truth.

I don't know how to fish.

Scared?

Oh, no, not scared.

Just, um, it's dead.

Okay, you.

Again.

- Oh my god. - Oooh!

Oh, that was good, right?

Um, now what?

Okay, now waiting.

Maybe one minute.

Maybe one day.

What? Are you just gonna...?

Ether?

Um, Ether!

Big.

You can! Go, Sydney!

No, no, I can't, it's too heavy!

Pull!

Ooh, it's slipping!

You can!

- I can't. - Why?

I'm too weak!

You, this.

You, this.

You can.

You can.

Pull, pull!

You can.

I show sister.

Oh, hey, wait a second!

Dad?

Oh, shit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's not necessary.

Come on.

Sydney!

Stay.

She saw time like water.

Death, not an end.

Birth, not a beginning.

All moments, droplets in the sea.

Where are we going?

Let’s go.

Ether!

Monkey!

Where?

It was just there.

Wait, wait, wait.

Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.

Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.

Sydney.

Have you ever been to Bangkok?

No, not go.

So let's go.

We'll catch the biggest fish the world has ever seen,

and ride into the city.

It'll be so big--

It'll be so big that they'll need twenty people

to hold it up.

They’ll even talk about us in America.

Okay, okay.

Just do what they say.

Sydney, see you, Bangkok.

He didn't do anything!

Why is this happening?

Ether, what's going on? Hey!

- Go. - Me?

Go.

He didn't do anything.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Ether, what about Ether?

Go.

Sir, can you tell me what I'm doing here?

Hey!

Great.

Thanks.

Where's Ether?

No! No!

- Come here! - No!

Let go, let go!

- Let go! - Get in the car!

- Let me go! - Now!

Stop acting crazy!

I won’t go until I see Ether!

Help me!

No, let me go!

Let me go!

Ether!

Ether!

No!

Ether!

Ether!

Sydney, calm down!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get us out of here.

Hey.

Do you remember this?

I think it's broken.

You're doing it wrong.

Yeah, yeah, been great Nui.

Thanks.

You're looking fresh.

I like the watch. What is it, a Rolex?

That's a $6,000 watch, Sydney.

Patek Philippe.

I bought it for her.

24th birthday.

$150,000.

How's Jaan and Ether?

And Ether?

He-- they're not in Bangkok?

There is a place where trauma burrowed within her,

where it elongated and echoed to infinity thereafter.

Hey.

Never leaving.

Take your meds.

In every nerve ending of every limb.

- They're in my suitcase. - Fuck, Sydney.

It resurrected in panic, tremors, short breaths.

The gates to her prison. A persistent erosion of her mind.

Sydney, what's wrong?

She spent her life deciphering the puzzle of its origin.

Running through the labyrinth of memory.

Desperate to heal.

She ran too deep.

Suffocated.

Nothing.

Imploded.

I'm fine.

Open your window.

Now's not the time to crack.

Russell, I'm fine.

Bump me.

Atta girl.

Atta girl.

You've got squatters.

In America, the city would tear this place down

before anyone could call it their home.

Thank you.

I hear flooding’s an issue in Bangkok.

What do you think, Sydney?

What?

Head in the game, sweetheart.

My time ain't free.

Sorry. I was lost in thought.

Yeah, I was asking you what you think.

The noise might be an issue.

And there's that notorious Bangkok smell.

Thai people don’t care.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

Let's, uh, let's look at the numbers

then we can chat.

It's a good opportunity.

Yeah.

But what do you really think?

There were children.

Slum families!

Ants feeding off free hand outs from hard working people

like you and me.

They mean nothing to you.

Sydney, when I am gone, all of this

will belong to you. So stop bitching!

I'm not bitching, I'm just wondering if it's worth it.

Worth it?

It's 50 million dollars.

- That's not what I mean. - Read the contract, dummy!

You cannot blame me for all the problems in the world.

I am just one man.

Honey.

Are you with me?

We'll take care of the families.

I promise.

- You give me your word? - Yes.

My word is my soul.

Now for a week of R&R

and then...

demolition.

Whiskey?

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Aha, Nui!

Oh yeah!

This is my name.

Russell Aria.

Approaching the sprawling metropolis of Bangkok

triggered memories of Ether.

They flooded in like monsoon rain.

She thought about where he might be

if he was even alive.

In fact, she understood this about herself very well.

Losing him ten years ago was the defining moment

of her outlook on life.

She grew up a slave to powerful people

graduated reform school with excellent grades

got through college without making any friends.

Salmon for the lady.

It was hard for her to love.

After a two month fling,

she married an older man,

but quickly divorced when she realized

the man would fail to provide her

with the cutting behavior she craved.

Where's the Klonopin?

Upstairs.

I, um, just got back from the South.

And?

Couldn't find them.

Look...

I'll get you some more when we're back in New York.

Stop fiending.

You're a grown man.

Stop fiending for food.

You're fat.

Seriously?

What are you, twelve?

Well, I mean,

you know, we can't have you attending company meetings

If you’re...

overweight.

You call this overweight?

Yeah.

Well...

What are you gonna do?

- Eat your emotions? - What are you gonna do?

Get wasted and whine about your divorce again?

Crybaby.

Would you like to tell some jokes?

For a dollar a minute?

I'd do anything.

Waiter!

Russell.

- Yes, sir? - Yeah,

you see that microphone over there?

Would you mind bringing it over?

- You want the microphone, sir? - Don’t listen to him.

No, shut up.

Yeah. That microphone. Bring it over.

My daughter here is a fantastic comedian.

Well, I'm not sure. I can check with the manager.

No, no, no. I’m your manager.

I'm paying.

So move your little feet.

Bring me the microphone.

Bring me the fucking microphone!

Sir.

Sir?

Let me do it, sir.

Cold feet.

Five years of rehab.

Why aren't you laughing, Daddy?

Yeah, can, uh,

someone come and clean this up, please?

I'm sorry about dinner.

I know.

The thing they don't tell you about turning fifty

is that it really fucks you up.

You do things...

just to prove how much you hate yourself.

You don't hate yourself.

You hate that you're not young anymore.

Maybe, maybe I should just give it all up

and leave it all to you.

And what in the world would you do

with all your time?

Night, Russell.

She knew back home her father was just

another schmuck shootin’ dice.

But in Thailand,

he was king.

Nice television.

Jaan?

If you don't want food, then you can leave.

Jaan?

Oh hey, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

I went down south.

I looked for you

and your brother.

You can't be back here.

How is he?

I won't ask again.

Your English...

You improved.

Why are you living in this shit hole?

Sydney?

Yeah, you dickwad. It’s me.

Been a while, huh?

- Uh. - Oh, I stumbled into your sister.

Sydney, waiting one minute, na?

I... dirty.

I can manage a minute.

I was married, you know?

Husband?

Was.

Not anymore.

It was short.

Two months.

Stupid.

Few years back.

Sydney okay?

I think so.

What about you?

Any kids?

Kid?

No.

No have.

Married?

What happened ten years ago?

How did you end up in Bangkok?

Here.

How did you end up in Bangkok?

Take a seat.

So...

How have you been all these years?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

How’d you get from the south up to Bangkok?

Last time I saw you,

we got arrested.

You know,

there’s this dream I keep having

ever since we met.

I can't shake it.

It starts and I'm in the middle of a dark black ocean.

I'm underwater.

My legs are wrapped in chains and stuck to the floor.

I break free

and swim up to the surface

but just before I get there, there's this monster,

giant thing with hands the size of my body

and it pinches my chains and tugs me down

toying with me.

It lets me surface and suck in some air

and then pulls me back under again.

I struggle...

and struggle...

until I see a boat arrive.

It's you...

and your boat.

I reach out for you.

And you reach out for me.

But then I wake up.

Drink up, buddy!

It'll make the whole seduction part a lot easier.

You're so quiet.

You weren't like this ten years ago.

Let's, um

Let's do something wild tonight.

I have an idea.

Come on!

Don't be chicken.

Ether!

I go home.

What?

Already?

No!

Why?

No.

What the hell is your problem?

Am I not enough?

Tomorrow, okay?

See you tomorrow.

Hey, what's the matter?

Ether?

You're an ant.

You'll always be an ant.

Broke as dirt.

Feeding off hard-working people like me.

She wondered why people came up with the most

complicated ways to say the most simple things.

You knew they were in Bangkok.

Find a new partner. I'm not working with you anymore.

- Take a seat. - No.

Sit down!

It's too late to back out.

What about the children?

What about my child?

Sydney, we are sitting on a pile of cash.

I'm only doing this because I love you.

You said your word is your soul.

Remember that time you threw a helmet at my face?

I was 16.

Still a breach of contract.

You can't enter a contract with a minor.

Nui’s building doesn't even have walls, okay?

The people living there are sleeping on cement.

When the rain blows in, they get soaked.

We need walls, Sydney!

Walls!

To separate us from the monkeys.

There's nothing for you there.

Nothing that matters.

The contract says you're liable for losses.

That's it.

You take the heat, I take the meat.

Capeesh!

Crybaby!

Okay.

Whose turn is it to dance for me?

Come on.

Let me see it.

You were right.

I was too late.

What?

You look just like your mother when we first met.

I was a...

about to take a shower.

No, Daddy.

You deserve a bath.

Let me start it for you.

You know what?

A bath sounds really fucking amazing.

Thank you, sweetie.

Of course.

I love you.

You know, I like this.

We're gonna build empires, Sydney.

The Arias.

Arias!

It's got a good ring to it.

You ready?

Almost.

Careful. It's hot.

It’s nothing.

It's all yours.

Calm down.

How's the water?

Very nice.

You good?

Well, I'm a little sleepy.

Try to relax.

You’ve worked hard.

Honey.

Try to rest.

Sydney!

There is a place I once found as a kid,

which exists deep inside the crevices of my mind.

I go there in the moments before waking.

It remains there.

It will always be there.

One day, I will never leave.
