Kevin tells Jean that the photo sent to him "could have been done by any five-year-old with software like Photoposh", he means that it is so simple to alter a photo with the right software, that EVEN a child could do it. There is no evidence that Vladimir has a five-year-old son.
Throughout this dialogue, Kevin warns Jean that Vladimir is planning to "rob" and "scam" him. Kevin believes that Vlad is trying to "extort" money from Jean. To extort money is to obtain it through intimidation, threats or coercion.
Kevin suggests that the photo sent by Vladimir is a "fake", then says that anyone with photo-editing software is capable of altering a photo. A "fake" is a counterfeit or false copy of something. Example: The Picasso I bought for 5 dollars in Las Vegas turned out to be a fake.
At the end of the dialogue, Kevin informs Jean that he could be held hostage by Vladimir. Jean never admits to this however. To hold someone hostage is to hold them prisoner in exchange for something.
