00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:42,534
- Look after it well.

349
00:37:01,678 --> 00:37:04,681
- [in English] Ah. Here we go.
- [Bhutanese pop music playing on radio]
350
00:37:07,476 --> 00:37:09,978
- Hello, Ap Penjor.
- Hello.
351
00:37:09,978 --> 00:37:11,772
- Are you well?
- Yes.
352
00:37:11,772 --> 00:37:13,815
- You look good.
- All is well.
353
00:37:13,815 --> 00:37:15,400
- Please, come inside.
- Yes.
354
00:37:23,951 --> 00:37:25,953
[cell phone ringing]
355
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:31,249
[in Dzongkha] What is it?
356
00:37:32,209 --> 00:37:36,546
I am busy here for the sake of both of us.
357
00:37:38,006 --> 00:37:39,925
But we have to pay our bills.
358
00:37:41,218 --> 00:37:44,262
If you need money,
check under the mattress.
359
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:46,348
I need to go.
360
00:37:47,182 --> 00:37:49,434
- Hello?
- [line beeping]
361
00:37:49,434 --> 00:37:50,852
[knocking on door]
362
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,442
- [man] Does Benji live here?
- Yes.
363
00:37:57,442 --> 00:38:00,445
- Call him.
- He is not here at the moment.
364
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:01,780
Where did he go?
365
00:38:02,531 --> 00:38:05,534
He said he would be back in a few days.
366
00:38:07,327 --> 00:38:09,371
- Who are you?
- I am his wife.
367
00:38:21,842 --> 00:38:23,969
Is Benji into antique trading?
368
00:38:23,969 --> 00:38:26,847
No, that was given to him by his parents.
369
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,103
Is Benji with any foreign guests?
370
00:38:33,103 --> 00:38:35,731
Guess what. I found it.
371
00:38:37,024 --> 00:38:38,400
Yeah.
372
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,695
Yeah, it was with some Bhutanese farmer
in the middle of nowhere.
373
00:38:42,904 --> 00:38:45,198
No, he has no idea how much it's worth.
374
00:38:46,783 --> 00:38:48,827
Can you believe it, after all these years?
375
00:38:50,746 --> 00:38:51,788
Yeah.
376
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:54,875
Okay, so I should have it by tomorrow.
377
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:56,001
Call me then.
378
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:04,134
This man seems to be involved with guns.
379
00:39:04,134 --> 00:39:07,220
It seems he has entered Bhutan,
380
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:09,556
and we are wondering
what he is doing here.
381
00:39:09,556 --> 00:39:13,018
Our search revealed
that Benji is his registered guide.
382
00:39:13,018 --> 00:39:17,022
- Do you know anything about this?
- No, I don't know anything.
383
00:39:17,856 --> 00:39:20,901
I doubt Benji would be involved
in gun trading.
384
00:39:20,901 --> 00:39:23,111
[in English]
I mean, is there gun in Bhutan?
385
00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:25,781
Does this look like a toy to you?
386
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,577
Call me the moment
Benji gets in touch with you.
387
00:39:30,577 --> 00:39:31,661
[in Dzongkha] Okay.
388
00:39:36,541 --> 00:39:37,542
[door closes]
389
00:39:37,542 --> 00:39:39,628

[automated voice] The subscriber
you have dialed is switched off.
392
00:40:00,482 --> 00:40:02,275
Here you go, master.
393
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,363
Wow, this is really heavy.
394
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,449
Of course it is.
395
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:14,579
It is a precious antique.
396
00:40:15,330 --> 00:40:19,751
They say it killed many Tibetans
during the wars.
397
00:40:20,544 --> 00:40:24,464
We had forgotten about it.
398
00:40:25,257 --> 00:40:29,386
Just left it in storage.
399
00:40:30,137 --> 00:40:34,432
No one really cared about it.
Until today, this foreigner--
400
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:38,395
- But does it still work?
- Of course it does.
401
00:40:42,023 --> 00:40:45,318
Why would Lama want a gun?
402
00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:48,280
I'm not sure.
403
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:52,659
He still has two years left
for his meditation retreat.
404
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:56,163
Suddenly, he wanted guns.
405
00:41:01,835 --> 00:41:08,717
I do owe so much to Lama.
406
00:41:09,509 --> 00:41:13,388
All of us in the village are happy
and peaceful
407
00:41:14,181 --> 00:41:17,934
because of his prayers and blessings.
408
00:41:18,935 --> 00:41:21,605
If he needs it,
please accept this as an offering.
409
00:41:21,605 --> 00:41:25,442
That's not acceptable at all.
410
00:41:26,193 --> 00:41:29,529
- It is not much, but I must pay you.
- Please, no need.
411
00:41:29,529 --> 00:41:34,201
- No, it's inauspicious.
- I simply cannot accept.
412
00:41:34,201 --> 00:41:37,996
No, I could never accept money
from a monk.
413
00:41:40,332 --> 00:41:45,837
Here then, a betel nut for a gun.
414
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:47,464
I'll accept a betel nut.
415
00:41:47,464 --> 00:41:51,635
There will be no karmic debt between us.
416
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:57,390
Lama will have a ritual on the Full Moon.
417
00:41:57,390 --> 00:41:59,809
You and your daughter must attend.
418
00:42:00,602 --> 00:42:03,647
Of course! We will.
I presume Lama will need bullets as well?
419
00:42:03,647 --> 00:42:04,940
Oh, yes, he will need some.
420
00:42:07,692 --> 00:42:09,694
[pensive music playing]
421
00:42:24,793 --> 00:42:29,339
Madame, we went knocking
on every door but--
422
00:42:29,339 --> 00:42:31,967
The entire world is watching us.
423
00:42:31,967 --> 00:42:34,511
It's unacceptable
that we have 10% voter registration.
424
00:42:35,595 --> 00:42:38,765
Democracy is the pinnacle
of Gross National Happiness.
425
00:42:39,641 --> 00:42:43,144
We must evolve with the rest of the world.
426
00:42:43,144 --> 00:42:45,230
[upbeat music playing on radio]
427
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:49,734
[camera clicks]
428
00:43:03,498 --> 00:43:04,791
Who's that?
429
00:43:05,834 --> 00:43:09,337
Some useless government official trying
to teach people how to vote.
430
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:13,508
People need to be taught how to vote?
431
00:43:19,014 --> 00:43:20,015
Let's go, Ron.
432
00:43:28,481 --> 00:43:31,484
- [engine starts]
- [Bhutanese pop music playing on radio]
433
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,204
Is that a monk? With a gun?
434
00:43:47,083 --> 00:43:50,587
It's Master Tashi.
He is our Lama's attendant.
435
00:43:58,219 --> 00:44:02,891
- Hello, master, where are you off to?
- I am going to our monastery in Ura.
436
00:44:03,725 --> 00:44:04,934
Is something wrong?
437
00:44:04,934 --> 00:44:07,937
We are heading that way,
we can give you a ride.
438
00:44:07,937 --> 00:44:10,482
Hello, Master Tashi.
Where are you coming from?
439
00:44:10,482 --> 00:44:12,275
From Ap Penjor's house.
440
00:44:12,275 --> 00:44:15,904
[Tshomo] This is the head
of the Elections office. Please hop in.
441
00:44:15,904 --> 00:44:20,116
Let us accumulate some merits
by serving a monk.
442
00:44:20,116 --> 00:44:23,328
Yeah. Yeah, we're on our way.
But, oh, my God, that bank.
443
00:44:23,328 --> 00:44:25,497
Yeah, we got the cash, it's all in a bag.
444
00:44:26,206 --> 00:44:28,583
Oh. Okay, we're almost here.
I'll let you know.
445
00:45:03,076 --> 00:45:04,077
Food?
446
00:45:14,003 --> 00:45:15,004
Tea?
447
00:45:20,009 --> 00:45:21,010
[Benji sighs]
448
00:45:22,595 --> 00:45:23,680
[in Dzongkha] Here you go.
449
00:45:24,597 --> 00:45:27,934
This is all for you.
450
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:42,282
Don't be upset, I gave it away.
451
00:45:45,410 --> 00:45:46,411
What was that?
452
00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:48,830
You gave the gun away?
453
00:45:49,998 --> 00:45:51,749
- Mm.
- What'd he say?
454
00:45:54,711 --> 00:45:56,880
I didn't quite get you.
455
00:45:58,256 --> 00:46:03,887
You keep the money, we take the gun,
that was the arrangement.
456
00:46:06,723 --> 00:46:10,560
Yes, but it's too late now.
457
00:46:13,563 --> 00:46:15,106
But we had a deal.
458
00:46:16,941 --> 00:46:17,984
Who did you give it to?
459
00:46:19,569 --> 00:46:22,071
So, why are you carrying that?
460
00:46:22,071 --> 00:46:24,157
- Carrying what?
- That gun.
461
00:46:24,824 --> 00:46:26,659
Oh, it's for my Lama.
462
00:46:27,285 --> 00:46:28,495
What is it for?
463
00:46:29,704 --> 00:46:31,831
I don't know.
464
00:46:31,831 --> 00:46:35,043
Lama said he needs to make things right.
465
00:46:35,043 --> 00:46:36,127
Right.
466
00:46:37,003 --> 00:46:38,087
To a monk?
467
00:46:39,881 --> 00:46:41,633
Now, listen...
468
00:46:45,094 --> 00:46:47,722
you put me
in a very awkward position here.
469
00:46:50,058 --> 00:46:51,643
Who is this monk?
470
00:46:51,643 --> 00:46:54,020
Why would a monk take our gun?
471
00:46:56,481 --> 00:46:59,984
He is from the Ura monastery.
472
00:47:01,361 --> 00:47:04,697
Apparently, the Lama wanted a gun.
473
00:47:06,407 --> 00:47:07,784
So I gave it as an offering.
474
00:47:09,827 --> 00:47:12,539
A Lama with a gun.
475
00:47:15,875 --> 00:47:17,544
Why would a Lama want a gun?
476
00:47:17,544 --> 00:47:21,339
What is our country coming to?
477
00:47:23,883 --> 00:47:27,262
- [upbeat music playing on radio]
- So, what are you officials doing here?
478
00:47:27,262 --> 00:47:31,224
We are here to modernize our country.
479
00:47:31,224 --> 00:47:35,228
To teach rural people how to vote.
480
00:47:35,228 --> 00:47:39,482
- Have you heard about it?
- Heard about what?
481
00:47:39,482 --> 00:47:42,652
- Elections.
- Oh, I don't know.
482
00:47:43,528 --> 00:47:47,448
- Is it that new pig disease?
- Pig disease?
483
00:47:48,491 --> 00:47:53,329
No! It's where you choose your new leader.
484
00:47:53,913 --> 00:47:54,914
Oh, no.
485
00:47:55,540 --> 00:47:57,292
What happened to His Majesty?
486
00:47:57,292 --> 00:48:02,130
His Majesty is still there,
but he's giving up his power to rule.
487
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:07,969
But why would someone even do that?
488
00:48:08,803 --> 00:48:13,391
Because to be democratic is to be modern.
489
00:48:14,100 --> 00:48:15,184
Mmm.
490
00:48:15,935 --> 00:48:18,563
I have never heard about this.
491
00:48:18,563 --> 00:48:21,441
Well, that's because
this is new to Bhutan.
492
00:48:21,441 --> 00:48:25,820
I guess it's a teaching of the Buddha?
493
00:48:28,489 --> 00:48:29,574
Well, not really.
494
00:48:31,743 --> 00:48:36,581
Oh, then how can we be so sure
if it will even be good for us?
495
00:48:40,001 --> 00:48:43,838
It doesn't matter
what Buddha taught 2500 years ago.
496
00:48:43,838 --> 00:48:47,258
This is modern thought,
of course it will be good for us.
497
00:48:51,012 --> 00:48:54,098
Where did this monk go?
498
00:48:55,266 --> 00:48:56,434
To the monastery.
499
00:48:59,562 --> 00:49:02,231
- When did he leave?
- He left this morning.
500
00:49:03,232 --> 00:49:06,402
- By car or did he walk?
- He walked.
501
00:49:06,402 --> 00:49:07,654
Walking?
502
00:49:08,571 --> 00:49:12,450
[in English] Hey, Ron, I think
we can catch up with him. Let's go.
503
00:49:22,001 --> 00:49:23,670
- [Tshering] Master!
- What?
504
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:27,965
[Tshering] Tell your Lama
to come attend our Mock Election.
505
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:30,468
His presence could draw in people.
506
00:49:31,511 --> 00:49:33,638
No, we can't.
507
00:49:34,514 --> 00:49:39,477
Lama is planning something important
on the Full Moon day.
508
00:49:40,311 --> 00:49:42,730
Isn't that in two days?
509
00:49:44,065 --> 00:49:46,067
[Phurba] It's on the day
of our Mock Elections.
510
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:49,153
What is Lama planning to do?
511
00:49:51,114 --> 00:49:53,324
I am not sure.
512
00:49:54,450 --> 00:49:57,453
He said it's to make things right again.
513
00:50:02,333 --> 00:50:05,378
Mmm. Stop here. This is my stop.
514
00:50:22,770 --> 00:50:26,607
- Thank you for the ride.
- See you on the Full Moon.
515
00:50:26,607 --> 00:50:29,318
- We will also come for your Lama's event.
- [Tashi] Okay.
516
00:50:44,834 --> 00:50:46,711
Hmm. This is perfect!
517
00:50:46,711 --> 00:50:49,088
Religious gatherings always
bring in huge crowds.
518
00:50:49,088 --> 00:50:51,716
Let's set up the Mock Elections there.
519
00:50:51,716 --> 00:50:56,429
Yes, madame, villagers gather like flies
for such events.
520

[Bhutanese pop music playing on radio]
521
00:51:10,610 --> 00:51:12,612
[horn honking]
522
00:51:22,246 --> 00:51:23,247
[engine stops]
523
00:51:24,499 --> 00:51:27,376
[in Dzongkha]
Master, please wait a moment!
524
00:51:28,044 --> 00:51:31,130
I need to talk to you
about something very important.
525
00:51:31,130 --> 00:51:32,423
How can I help?
526
00:51:34,509 --> 00:51:36,594
My name is Benji,
527
00:51:36,594 --> 00:51:41,390
and this is my friend, Mr. Ron.
528
00:51:43,810 --> 00:51:47,772
Do you know the country America?
It's very far away.
529
00:51:47,772 --> 00:51:52,693
He's come all this way,
with great difficulty, for that gun.
530
00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:59,367
Yesterday, we went to Ap Penjor's.
531
00:51:59,367 --> 00:52:03,871
He said he was in debt,
so I offered to help him.
532
00:52:03,871 --> 00:52:09,001
I helped make a deal
between Mr. Ron and Ap Penjor.
533
00:52:09,001 --> 00:52:13,172
We were going to buy the gun from him.
534
00:52:13,172 --> 00:52:16,509
But this morning you had taken the gun.
535
00:52:16,509 --> 00:52:19,762
- Can we please have the gun back?
- What?
536
00:52:19,762 --> 00:52:22,390
Please don't joke like this.
537
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:26,269
Do you realize how much trouble
it was to get it?
538
00:52:26,269 --> 00:52:30,898
Wait! We don't want it for free,
let us buy it from you!
539
00:52:38,531 --> 00:52:42,451
Wait! Wait! Hold on a second!
540
00:52:44,495 --> 00:52:45,872
Hold on!
541
00:52:45,872 --> 00:52:49,041
You are not understanding me here.
542
00:52:54,630 --> 00:52:55,631
Oh!
543
00:52:56,549 --> 00:53:01,304
- What are you doing with so much money?
- This is all for you.
544
00:53:02,096 --> 00:53:04,974
Just give us the gun in return.
545
00:53:05,808 --> 00:53:08,728
No, no, what will I do
with this much money?
546
00:53:09,437 --> 00:53:13,149
I don't need money, I need guns.
547
00:53:13,149 --> 00:53:14,358
[scoffs]
548
00:53:14,358 --> 00:53:18,863
- What's a monk going to do with a gun?
- It's for my Lama.
549
00:53:18,863 --> 00:53:23,743
I have been searching
all over for this gun.
550
00:53:24,911 --> 00:53:27,413
[in English] Ron, it seems
he doesn't want the money.
551
00:53:28,497 --> 00:53:32,752
Look, tell him I can pay
in lots of dollars.
552
00:53:32,752 --> 00:53:34,378
What did he say?
553
00:53:34,378 --> 00:53:38,841
[in Dzongkha] He will give you
a lot of dollars for the gun.
554
00:53:42,136 --> 00:53:44,680
Come here, let me show you,
555
00:53:46,057 --> 00:53:49,810
see this shiny green note
with this bald man?
556
00:53:50,436 --> 00:53:53,439
This is the most powerful currency
in the world.
557
00:53:54,357 --> 00:53:56,150
Today is your lucky day.
558
00:53:56,150 --> 00:54:01,155
Forget about how powerful dollars are,
559
00:54:01,155 --> 00:54:04,283
some people even sell their kidneys
for dollars.
560
00:54:05,868 --> 00:54:08,663
[Ron] Look, tell him he can name his price
561
00:54:08,663 --> 00:54:10,498
for the gun, anything.
562
00:54:11,832 --> 00:54:13,626
He's even starting to beg now.
563
00:54:13,626 --> 00:54:17,213
You wear the Buddha's robes,
564
00:54:17,213 --> 00:54:20,341
so I know you are a person
of immense compassion.
565
00:54:20,341 --> 00:54:22,635
Please just give us the gun. [chuckles]
566
00:54:22,635 --> 00:54:24,845
I am very sorry.
567
00:54:24,845 --> 00:54:29,850
Yes, as a monk,
I am duty-bound to help others.
568
00:54:30,851 --> 00:54:34,230
But just not this time, I'm sorry.
569
00:54:35,606 --> 00:54:36,440
[Benji sighs]
570
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,111
So sir here will shout,
"I want blue," okay?
571
00:54:40,820 --> 00:54:44,407
And then, uh, the grandma in black.
572
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,200
Yes, please come up.
573
00:54:51,038 --> 00:54:54,375
Here, take this.
574
00:54:56,252 --> 00:55:02,675
So sir here will shout,
"I want blue," okay?
575
00:55:03,342 --> 00:55:06,554
When he shouts, "I want blue,"
576
00:55:06,554 --> 00:55:10,057
all on this side must shout,
"We don't want blue, we want red!"
577
00:55:10,057 --> 00:55:13,352
Before we begin,
let's divide ourselves into two sides.
578
00:55:13,352 --> 00:55:16,605
From the middle, move to this side,
and you all move to that side.
579
00:55:18,357 --> 00:55:23,487
This side is for blue
and that side is for red, understood?
580
00:55:23,487 --> 00:55:27,533
Now to begin, shout, "We want blue."
581
00:55:27,533 --> 00:55:31,078
Okay. We want blue.
582
00:55:31,954 --> 00:55:35,082
- A bit louder.
- We want blue!
583
00:55:35,082 --> 00:55:37,752
- Still a bit louder.
- We want blue!
584
00:55:37,752 --> 00:55:41,505
- Yes, just like that.
- [crowd] We want blue!
585
00:55:41,505 --> 00:55:44,091
- We want red!
- We want blue!
586
00:55:44,091 --> 00:55:47,678
Okay, okay, that's enough!
587
00:55:47,678 --> 00:55:50,931
Show some passion!
It's for your new leader!
588
00:55:50,931 --> 00:55:54,268
You aren't supposed to like each other!
589
00:55:54,268 --> 00:55:56,645
Shout louder!
590
00:55:56,645 --> 00:55:58,647
Like you want to hit each other!
591
00:55:58,647 --> 00:56:03,069
Well, not really hit,
but act like you want to!
592
00:56:03,069 --> 00:56:06,614
You are supposed
to despise each other. Once more!
593
00:56:06,614 --> 00:56:08,491
- We want blue!
- We want red!
594
00:56:08,491 --> 00:56:11,660
- Down with red, we want blue!
- Glory to red!
595
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:13,746
[all clamoring]
596
00:56:20,753 --> 00:56:24,840
Why are you teaching us to be so rude?
This is not who we are.
597
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,927
[crowd chanting]
Down with blue, we want only red!
598
00:56:29,512 --> 00:56:30,513
[Benji] Please wait!
599
00:56:34,809 --> 00:56:36,268
[Ron] Why doesn't he want the money?
600
00:56:36,936 --> 00:56:40,314
[in English] I don't know, man, something
about his master wanting the gun.
601
00:56:41,899 --> 00:56:42,900
[Ron] Master?
602
00:56:44,652 --> 00:56:46,278
What are we doing?
603
00:56:46,278 --> 00:56:47,905
[Benji in Dzongkha]
Can you just wait a second?
604
00:56:49,490 --> 00:56:54,161
[Ron] Look! It's just an old gun,
it probably doesn't even work.
605
00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:57,206
[in Dzongkha] Look, the gun is very old!
606
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,291
It's not going to benefit you.
607
00:57:01,502 --> 00:57:09,009
Well, Ap Penjor said it killed
hundreds of Tibetans during the war.
608
00:57:09,009 --> 00:57:13,222
Yes, but the war was a few centuries ago.
609
00:57:13,222 --> 00:57:14,765
It's old talk. [chuckles]
610
00:57:15,558 --> 00:57:17,852
Look at the metal, it's all rusted.
611
00:57:19,645 --> 00:57:21,188
Wouldn't you prefer something new?
612
00:57:22,940 --> 00:57:25,192
Hello? What's happening?
613
00:57:26,152 --> 00:57:30,531
[in English] I told him it's an old gun.
It would be better if he gets a new gun.
614
00:57:30,531 --> 00:57:36,162
Okay, tell him with the money I can offer,
he can buy ten brand-new guns.
615
00:57:37,746 --> 00:57:41,167
[in Dzongkha] Looks like you accumulated
lots of merits in your previous life!
616
00:57:41,959 --> 00:57:46,547
Give him the gun, and with his money,
you can buy ten brand-new guns.
617
00:57:47,173 --> 00:57:50,134
Ten guns that can kill! What a deal!
618
00:57:53,971 --> 00:57:57,474
Yes, yes, please sit down.
I am telling you the truth.
619
00:57:57,474 --> 00:58:00,769
You would never get such a deal
for rusted junk.
620
00:58:02,062 --> 00:58:05,274
The heavens are showering you
with this opportunity
621
00:58:05,983 --> 00:58:08,944
because you are such a good monk.
622
00:58:09,653 --> 00:58:11,864
Don't squander such opportunities,
grasp it with both hands!
623
00:58:13,574 --> 00:58:16,118
Well, I don't really need ten guns.
624
00:58:16,744 --> 00:58:18,495
But I do need two guns.
625
00:58:18,495 --> 00:58:20,706
That can be done.
626
00:58:20,706 --> 00:58:24,126
Mr. Ron is an expert
when it comes to guns.
627
00:58:24,835 --> 00:58:28,839
In his country,
there are more guns than people.
628
00:58:28,839 --> 00:58:31,383
- More guns than people?
- Yes!
629
00:58:31,383 --> 00:58:33,844
Wow, must be a very unique land.
630
00:58:33,844 --> 00:58:38,349
Guns are a very important part
of their culture.
631
00:58:39,058 --> 00:58:41,101
In their version of the sutras,
632
00:58:41,894 --> 00:58:47,024
the second verse states that
all citizens have the right to own guns.
633
00:58:48,567 --> 00:58:51,445
Now, let's not waste time,
just give us this gun.
634
00:58:52,363 --> 00:58:54,573
Okay, so I would need two guns.
635
00:58:56,033 --> 00:58:59,411
[Benji] So we will give you two guns,
two brand-new guns.
636
00:59:01,205 --> 00:59:05,626
That sounds like a fair deal,
don't you think so?
637
00:59:05,626 --> 00:59:07,711
Of course it is a fair deal!
638
00:59:07,711 --> 00:59:09,129
- [in English] Hey, Ron, Ron.
- [Ron] Yeah?
639
00:59:09,129 --> 00:59:12,675
We'll trade this old gun
for two new guns, is that okay?
640
00:59:12,675 --> 00:59:14,802
- Two guns? For that one?
- Yeah.
641
00:59:14,802 --> 00:59:20,599
Okay, you can tell him that he can choose
any gun from this list.
642
00:59:21,558 --> 00:59:22,559
All right.
643
00:59:25,896 --> 00:59:30,025
[in Dzongkha] Look at the choice you have.
You can pick any gun from this list.
644
00:59:30,025 --> 00:59:31,151
[cell phone rings]
645
00:59:31,151 --> 00:59:32,569
How is this one?
646
00:59:32,569 --> 00:59:33,654
Hello?
647
00:59:34,363 --> 00:59:36,573
- How about this one?
- No.
648
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:38,701
- Okay, you don't like that one.
- [Ron] Hello? Hello?
649
00:59:38,701 --> 00:59:44,331
This is what the American cowboys use.
650
00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,041
This one is very cool.
651
00:59:46,959 --> 00:59:48,168
Nah, it's too small.
652
00:59:49,086 --> 00:59:50,629
- Huh?
- It's too small!
653
00:59:50,629 --> 00:59:52,840
A monk. Monk. Like--
654
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:57,428
Wears robes, meditates--
Yeah, yeah, like a Buddhist monk.
655
00:59:57,428 --> 00:59:58,887
[Tashi] Oh, this one!
656
00:59:59,638 --> 01:00:04,143
It's what the hero 007 used on the TV.
657
01:00:04,143 --> 01:00:06,729
I want this one!
Please tell him to get me this one.
658
01:00:07,855 --> 01:00:09,315
- The biggest one?
- Yes, this one.
659
01:00:10,607 --> 01:00:13,485
Now, don't take advantage,
you greedy monk!
660
01:00:13,485 --> 01:00:17,990
- Oh!
- No, no, I am looking out for you.
661
01:00:17,990 --> 01:00:19,867
If it's big, it will be heavy.
662
01:00:19,867 --> 01:00:22,536
If it's heavy,
it's difficult for you to carry.
663
01:00:22,536 --> 01:00:25,831
If it's small, it's light and easy.
664
01:00:25,831 --> 01:00:28,584
- No, I want this!
- This one is better.
665
01:00:28,584 --> 01:00:30,586
No, I want this one.
Tell him to get me this.
666
01:00:32,004 --> 01:00:35,799
I don't know what a Buddhist monk wants
with a gun, but listen...
667
01:00:35,799 --> 01:00:37,718
Hello? Hello?
668
01:00:41,805 --> 01:00:42,931
What?
669
01:00:42,931 --> 01:00:46,101
[in English] He's not budging, man,
he's saying he wants two.
670
01:00:46,101 --> 01:00:48,103
[Ron] Two AK-47s?
671
01:00:48,854 --> 01:00:51,607
What's he gonna do with AK-47s in Bhutan?
672
01:00:53,817 --> 01:00:54,818
Okay.
673
01:00:55,444 --> 01:00:57,488
Hello, there's a little problem,
674
01:00:58,238 --> 01:01:02,326
the monk wants AK-47s for the gun,
two of them.
675
01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:08,207
[in Dzongkha] Hey, master!
676
01:01:09,375 --> 01:01:13,170
I am sorry, you are taking too long.
I must return to my Lama.
677
01:01:13,170 --> 01:01:15,089
No, please wait.
678
01:01:16,048 --> 01:01:19,927
We are getting you your guns.
It will be here in a few days.
679
01:01:19,927 --> 01:01:22,930
A few days? I don't have a few days.
680
01:01:22,930 --> 01:01:25,599
I need the guns before the Full Moon.
681
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:26,975
Full Moon?
682
01:01:29,561 --> 01:01:31,313
Day after tomorrow? That's too soon.
683
01:01:31,313 --> 01:01:36,026
If I don't get them by Full Moon,
it's useless.
684
01:01:36,944 --> 01:01:39,822
[in English] Hey, Ron,
he's saying he needs the guns
685
01:01:39,822 --> 01:01:41,323
by day after tomorrow.
686
01:01:41,323 --> 01:01:43,867
- Are you kidding?
- I'm not, he's not budging.
687
01:01:44,993 --> 01:01:46,620
It doesn't seem to be negotiable.
688
01:01:47,621 --> 01:01:51,792
All right, we'll have
to figure something out.
689
01:01:51,792 --> 01:01:54,795
Probably from India.
690
01:01:54,795 --> 01:01:57,339
[in Dzongkha]
Hey, do you have a phone number?
691
01:01:57,339 --> 01:01:58,424
Mm.
692
01:02:02,469 --> 01:02:04,972
[Tashi] Don't worry, let's do this:
693
01:02:04,972 --> 01:02:09,476
Meet me down there on the Full Moon day.
694
01:02:09,476 --> 01:02:13,313
We can exchange our guns by the stupa.
695
01:02:17,359 --> 01:02:19,778
You better keep your word.
696
01:02:19,778 --> 01:02:21,029
Mm. Don't worry.
697
01:02:21,822 --> 01:02:23,824
- [Benji] It's bad karma to lie.
- Yes, yes.

His Majesty has given us
this precious gift.

01:02:38,422 --> 01:02:44,761
Let us not waste this opportunity.
701
01:02:44,761 --> 01:02:51,435
Please come join us for the Mock Election
702
01:02:51,435 --> 01:02:55,189
and learn how to exercise
your sacred duty.
703
01:02:55,189 --> 01:03:00,569
Let us Bhutanese all work together
704
01:03:00,569 --> 01:03:03,071
to make our country modern and developed!

710
01:03:43,195 --> 01:03:44,196
Your mother came by?
711
01:03:49,326 --> 01:03:51,328
Did she complain endlessly about me again?
712
01:03:57,292 --> 01:04:00,420
Tomorrow's election registration
is at the market.
713
01:04:01,713 --> 01:04:03,966
I am going to take Yuphel with me.
714
01:04:05,509 --> 01:04:07,427
[Choephel] Why would you take Yuphel?
715
01:04:10,764 --> 01:04:16,270
She used her handkerchief
to erase her notebook.
716
01:04:17,604 --> 01:04:19,940
It tore the pages.
The teacher scolded her.
717
01:04:23,443 --> 01:04:24,444
Yuphel.
718
01:04:25,487 --> 01:04:29,241
It's okay. I'll see your teacher tomorrow.
719
01:04:29,241 --> 01:04:32,035
I'll tell her I forgot your eraser.
720
01:04:32,035 --> 01:04:33,120
No, it's okay.
721
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:36,164
You shouldn't go to her school.
722
01:04:36,164 --> 01:04:38,083
What's wrong with me going
to my own daughter's school?
723
01:04:40,544 --> 01:04:43,589
You are too involved
with Lodro and Thinley's election.
724
01:04:45,132 --> 01:04:47,426
It's causing so much disruption
to our family.
725
01:04:50,637 --> 01:04:54,433
Even at Yuphel's school,
there are all these rumors about you.
726
01:05:04,318 --> 01:05:07,529
I am doing all this for us,
727

for Yuphel's sake.
728
01:05:11,199 --> 01:05:15,412
When Thinley wins
and gets a ministerial position,
729
01:05:15,412 --> 01:05:17,581
he will remember we supported him.
730
01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:23,378
He could help us get Yuphel
into a city school.
731
01:05:23,378 --> 01:05:24,796
Away from this pathetic rural life.
732
01:05:26,465 --> 01:05:30,010
Here, the highlight of the month...
733
01:05:31,428 --> 01:05:34,097
is eating a piece of dried pork.
734
01:05:35,599 --> 01:05:40,646
Is there anything for us here? Tell me!

Why would I be involved in guns?
I am not crazy.

Don't worry,
I am just being his guide, okay?

Okay, so, listen.

We got two brand-new AK-47s

[in English] He say he wants $30,000.
858
01:17:14,964 --> 01:17:16,632
I want that as well.
859
01:17:17,717 --> 01:17:21,304
I need it to photograph my angels here.
Leave it behind.
860
01:17:24,349 --> 01:17:25,892
He wants the camera as well.
861
01:17:28,603 --> 01:17:29,604
[Ron sighs]
862
01:17:43,826 --> 01:17:46,245
[Benji in Dzongkha]
Nobs, so we're good, right?
863
01:17:46,245 --> 01:17:47,955
I'll see you later.
864
01:18:10,770 --> 01:18:12,146
Father!
865
01:18:12,146 --> 01:18:16,776
- Look what I got!
- Wow, so many!
866
01:18:16,776 --> 01:18:20,613
These are all foreign ones.
867
01:18:20,613 --> 01:18:22,156
- Foreign?
- Yes.
868
01:18:24,575 --> 01:18:27,578
You must have spent a lot of money
on these.
869
01:18:27,578 --> 01:18:30,957
We didn't buy it.
The election lady gave it to us.
870
01:18:31,791 --> 01:18:33,376
- The election madame?
- Yes.
871
01:18:35,545 --> 01:18:37,630
If you get a chance,
872
01:18:37,630 --> 01:18:39,924
you should talk to her about Thinley.
873
01:18:42,844 --> 01:18:44,345
This is really too much now.
874
01:18:45,555 --> 01:18:48,724
I don't care about Lodro or Thinley,
and how they want to win desperately.
875
01:18:50,393 --> 01:18:52,854
We don't need to send her
to a city school.
876
01:18:52,854 --> 01:18:55,940
She's happy right here with her family.
877
01:18:59,694 --> 01:19:02,029
I just want our old lives back.
878
01:19:03,448 --> 01:19:08,202
Where our family was happy and together.
879
01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:19,005
The life where Yuphel had friends
to play with.
880
01:19:34,312 --> 01:19:37,023
So, I mean, you--
881
01:19:38,065 --> 01:19:42,069
You don't think
he's gonna kill anyone, do you?
882
01:19:43,863 --> 01:19:45,072
He's a monk right?
883
01:19:46,699 --> 01:19:50,244
So, he wouldn't do that, right?
884
01:19:51,412 --> 01:19:52,663
[in English] I don't know, man.
885
01:19:53,748 --> 01:19:55,917
We live in strange times.
886
01:19:59,295 --> 01:20:02,256
Yeah, 'cause, you know,
these guns are pretty dangerous.
887
01:20:02,256 --> 01:20:07,136
They could cause a lot of a damage
if they're not used responsibly. You know?
888
01:20:18,022 --> 01:20:19,482
- [exclaims]
- [motor stops]
889
01:20:20,316 --> 01:20:25,279
Customs got all suspicious about it,
such a heavy bag.
890
01:20:40,586 --> 01:20:41,587
That's it.
891
01:20:46,133 --> 01:20:50,012
[in Dzongkha] The money is all there,
you can count it.
892
01:20:53,724 --> 01:20:59,146
The money is there, but, Benji,
not sure what you are doing here.
893
01:21:00,314 --> 01:21:01,524
You know the risks.
894
01:21:02,942 --> 01:21:03,943
Better be careful.
895
01:21:08,823 --> 01:21:09,949
[in English] Good business.
896
01:21:11,617 --> 01:21:12,785
[motor starts]
897
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:32,722
[indistinct chatter]
898
01:21:47,612 --> 01:21:50,239
Madame, good news.
899
01:21:50,239 --> 01:21:52,783
After extensive pushing here,
900
01:21:52,783 --> 01:21:57,872
we have registered 98% of eligible voters.
901
01:21:57,872 --> 01:22:00,708
Mmm. Good, that's very good to hear.
902
01:22:01,542 --> 01:22:03,252
Congratulations to all of us.
903
01:22:06,964 --> 01:22:13,512
[clears throat]
Please remember the three colors!
904
01:22:13,512 --> 01:22:16,265
Blue for freedom and equality.
905
01:22:16,265 --> 01:22:18,893
Red for industrial development.
906
01:22:18,893 --> 01:22:22,188
Yellow for preservation.
907
01:22:22,188 --> 01:22:24,940
You can vote for whichever is your choice.
908
01:22:41,957 --> 01:22:45,419
[Choephel] Remember,
red is industrial development.
909
01:22:45,419 --> 01:22:48,214
That is most like
what Thinley will bring us.
910
01:22:49,131 --> 01:22:51,300
[Phurba] Oh, get out of here,
you children!
911
01:22:51,300 --> 01:22:54,011
This is only for people above 18.
912
01:22:54,011 --> 01:22:55,930
[children laughing]
913
01:22:55,930 --> 01:23:01,352
Why don't you rascals listen?
Do you have wooden ears or what?
914
01:23:26,502 --> 01:23:30,506
She's the one.
The one responsible for all this.
915
01:23:32,174 --> 01:23:34,593
Many people seem
to have turned up for this.
916
01:23:34,593 --> 01:23:37,930
Yes, it's become quite the event.
917
01:23:43,185 --> 01:23:45,312
- Greetings, Lama.
- Hello.
918
01:23:45,312 --> 01:23:48,107
I wonder what great misfortune
has come for you
919
01:23:48,107 --> 01:23:50,693
to abandon your meditation to come to us.
920
01:23:51,861 --> 01:23:55,489
Yes, we must come together to play
our part for the sake of our future.
921
01:23:57,074 --> 01:24:00,494
Today, your gun will make things right
once again.
922
01:24:02,329 --> 01:24:04,373
We don't have time,
let's get ready for her.
923
01:24:04,373 --> 01:24:05,458
Yes, Lama.
924
01:24:19,388 --> 01:24:20,556
[Ron] So can you fix it?
925
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,154
[Benji] Hey, hey! Please stop.
926
01:24:39,241 --> 01:24:42,119
Our car broke down,
we need to get to Ura.
927
01:24:42,119 --> 01:24:45,331
We are also in a rush,
we are going for Lama's ritual.
928
01:24:45,331 --> 01:24:47,333
And apparently we need to go vote, hop in.
929
01:24:47,333 --> 01:24:48,876
Thank you so much!
930
01:24:48,876 --> 01:24:51,545
[in English] Ron, come, come on,
let's get in. Come, come!
931
01:24:57,092 --> 01:24:58,761
- Give me the bag.
- [Ron grunts]
932
01:25:16,695 --> 01:25:21,700
We are done. We had a 98% turnout.
933
01:25:21,700 --> 01:25:24,370
Wow! That's historic.
934
01:25:34,588 --> 01:25:39,218
Wait, why is everyone voting
for the yellow party? Look at this.
935
01:25:40,886 --> 01:25:44,598
Yes, the yellow party secured over 95%.
936
01:25:45,474 --> 01:25:48,143
A party wouldn't win by 95%.
937
01:25:49,770 --> 01:25:57,403
When I asked the people
who they voted for,
938
01:25:57,403 --> 01:26:01,490
most of them said yellow.
939
01:26:01,490 --> 01:26:02,575
But why?
940
01:26:03,367 --> 01:26:08,289
Madam, yellow is the color of the king.
941
01:26:09,915 --> 01:26:12,418
Why didn't we think about that?
942
01:26:14,461 --> 01:26:18,132
Looks like even if they went to the polls,
943
01:26:18,132 --> 01:26:22,011
the color yellow still connected them
to the king.
944
01:26:33,564 --> 01:26:35,566
[dramatic music playing on TV]
945
01:26:47,119 --> 01:26:48,120
[officer] Little girl.
946
01:26:50,497 --> 01:26:51,790
Did you see this foreigner?
947
01:26:53,542 --> 01:26:54,710
Did you see this foreigner?
948
01:26:58,964 --> 01:27:00,966
[Lama chanting]
949
01:27:07,932 --> 01:27:09,934
[all chanting]
950
01:27:37,002 --> 01:27:40,005
[percussion and horn instruments
playing traditional music]
951
01:28:13,122 --> 01:28:16,625
I understand
how much people love His Majesty.
952
01:28:17,459 --> 01:28:19,962
That's exactly why we can't fail him.
953
01:28:24,008 --> 01:28:26,093
Do they have to be that loud?
954
01:28:32,141 --> 01:28:34,560
- [officer] Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
955
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,397
- Can we help you, officer?
- We are looking for two individuals.
956
01:28:38,397 --> 01:28:39,481
Hello.
957
01:28:42,901 --> 01:28:45,612
Lama wants you over at the ritual.
958
01:28:45,612 --> 01:28:47,031
I don't have time.
959
01:28:47,906 --> 01:28:49,700
[Tashi] He insists you come.
960
01:28:49,700 --> 01:28:52,703
All these preparations
have been made for you.
961
01:28:53,746 --> 01:28:55,414
- For me?
- Yes.
962
01:28:56,457 --> 01:28:57,958
Lama says he planned all this,
963
01:28:58,709 --> 01:29:03,756
after he heard you on the radio
saying you were coming to Ura.
964
01:29:03,756 --> 01:29:07,134
So, please, come.
965
01:29:07,718 --> 01:29:08,719
[sighs]
966
01:29:09,636 --> 01:29:12,890
Might as well, our Mock Election turned
into a pig's disease.
967
01:29:15,601 --> 01:29:17,561
Tshomo, Phurba, let's go.
968
01:29:17,561 --> 01:29:19,646
[music continues]
969
01:29:25,611 --> 01:29:27,613
[chanting continues]
970
01:29:45,130 --> 01:29:46,840
Look, there's a foreigner coming.
971
01:29:52,221 --> 01:29:53,222
[Tashi] Hello.
972
01:29:54,973 --> 01:29:56,058
You guys made it.
973
01:29:59,394 --> 01:30:02,648
[in Dzongkha] So many people up there.
What's going on?
974
01:30:02,648 --> 01:30:04,858
Is there some sort of event?
975
01:30:05,442 --> 01:30:06,443
Are those the guns?
976
01:30:08,737 --> 01:30:09,780
Don't say it so loud.
977
01:30:09,780 --> 01:30:14,243
Great! Lama will be happy to see them.
978
01:30:14,243 --> 01:30:15,869
[officer] Hey, hold on, you guys!
979
01:30:17,079 --> 01:30:18,705
Benji, who's that?
980
01:30:21,125 --> 01:30:24,837
- [in English] Benji? Mr. Coleman?
- Yes, officer.
981
01:30:26,130 --> 01:30:27,464
Could you guys please come with us?
982
01:30:27,464 --> 01:30:29,883
We need to ask a few questions
about your stay in Bhutan.
983
01:30:29,883 --> 01:30:32,052
Oh, I'm here to visit the temples.
984
01:30:32,052 --> 01:30:36,223
What an auspicious day.
985
01:30:37,141 --> 01:30:40,894
Lama has come out of retreat.
986
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:45,232
All our villagers have gathered here.
987
01:30:45,232 --> 01:30:50,237
The government officials have also come.
988
01:30:50,237 --> 01:30:52,823
And now we even have police officers here.
989
01:30:52,823 --> 01:30:55,784
All gathered spontaneously,
how auspicious!
990
01:30:55,784 --> 01:30:57,995
Please, you all must come
attend the ritual.
991
01:30:57,995 --> 01:31:00,914
Please come, please come.
992
01:31:06,628 --> 01:31:08,881
[officer in Dzongkha]
Don't try anything smart.
993
01:31:27,191 --> 01:31:28,525
[in English] Where are you from, sir?
994
01:31:29,484 --> 01:31:30,777
I'm from the U.S.
995
01:31:30,777 --> 01:31:34,823
Oh. A great democratic country.
The leader of free world.
996
01:31:36,992 --> 01:31:41,705
Sir, do you know we are teaching
about democracy to the Bhutanese?
997
01:31:42,789 --> 01:31:43,790
That's great.
998
01:31:45,792 --> 01:31:47,794
[music loudens]
999
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,551
This is my first time meeting an American.
1000
01:31:54,551 --> 01:31:57,930
After the ceremonies,
can we talk about democracy?
1001
01:31:57,930 --> 01:32:00,390
I have a feeling that you can help us.
1002
01:32:00,390 --> 01:32:03,268
Our Mock Election didn't work
as we had planned.
1003
01:32:04,603 --> 01:32:08,607
No, sorry, I don't think I can do that.
1004
01:32:11,235 --> 01:32:15,822
Oh, don't be modest, sir.
You're from the land of Lincoln and JFK.
1005
01:32:16,698 --> 01:32:18,700
[chanting continues]
1006
01:32:36,510 --> 01:32:38,345
[indistinct chatter]
1007
01:32:47,646 --> 01:32:49,648
[bells jingling]
1008
01:33:09,751 --> 01:33:11,795
Can everyone listen here?
1009
01:33:15,382 --> 01:33:19,553
I don't know anything
about these modern ways.
1010
01:33:19,553 --> 01:33:22,931
I don't know
if these are good or bad for us.
1011
01:33:23,515 --> 01:33:26,852
But we need to make things right.
1012
01:33:28,312 --> 01:33:31,189
Stupas represent
the enlightened mind of the Buddha.
1013
01:33:32,691 --> 01:33:38,322
We have built many like this one
in the past to avert obstacles.
1014
01:33:39,948 --> 01:33:43,744
Now we will build a new one,
to clear obstacles for our country,
1015
01:33:43,744 --> 01:33:47,622
as we find ourselves at a moment
of great change and transition.
1016
01:33:47,622 --> 01:33:54,963
When we build stupas, we fill them
with grains so it may avert famines.
1017
01:33:55,672 --> 01:34:00,761
We put in medicines to avert pandemics.
1018
01:34:02,137 --> 01:34:10,812
And deep in the foundation,
we must bury something
1019
01:34:10,812 --> 01:34:15,567
that symbolizes hatred,
conflict and suffering.
1020
01:34:15,567 --> 01:34:17,486
And we build our stupa on top of this,
1021
01:34:18,445 --> 01:34:25,494
to symbolize the victory
of compassion and peace
1022
01:34:25,494 --> 01:34:28,914
over these three poisons.
1023
01:34:29,706 --> 01:34:32,292
As a symbol of all the negativity
in the world,
1024
01:34:33,377 --> 01:34:37,923
we will take this gun
and bury it under the stupa.
1025
01:34:37,923 --> 01:34:41,259
[softly] Hey, get the gun back,
get it back.
1026
01:34:41,259 --> 01:34:44,262
[softly] Wait, wait, wait,
what's happening? Hey.
1027
01:34:44,262 --> 01:34:45,722
What's going on?
1028
01:34:46,848 --> 01:34:52,854
You are entrusted with important
responsibilities for our country.
1029
01:34:54,481 --> 01:35:00,195
Please make aspirations for our country
and place it in the foundation.
1030

- [monks chanting]
1031
01:35:03,698 --> 01:35:04,699
Maybe...
1032
01:35:05,951 --> 01:35:09,204
- What? What's going on?
- [crowd cheering]
1033
01:35:09,204 --> 01:35:11,206
May all be victorious!
1034
01:35:13,333 --> 01:35:15,669
May all be victorious!
1035
01:35:24,636 --> 01:35:29,391
[in Dzongkha] Hey, you two!
Come along with us now.
1036
01:35:30,475 --> 01:35:31,476
[in English] Sir.
1037
01:35:35,647 --> 01:35:36,648
[Benji] Sir, sir.
1038
01:35:37,941 --> 01:35:40,026
Please hold on a moment.
1039
01:35:40,026 --> 01:35:42,696
The reason why we are here is because...
1040
01:35:43,530 --> 01:35:47,242
we wanted to make an offering
for the stupa.
1041
01:35:48,326 --> 01:35:50,787
- What was that?
- Yes.
1042
01:35:52,622 --> 01:35:55,167
Master Tashi, please come here.
1043
01:35:55,917 --> 01:35:58,503
We heard Lama was planning
something like this
1044
01:35:58,503 --> 01:36:02,841
so we came all the way
to make an offering, right?
1045
01:36:04,009 --> 01:36:05,010
[grunts]
1046
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:11,641
The two of us have been working
to bring the most powerful
1047
01:36:11,641 --> 01:36:14,436
and deadly guns to offer here.
1048
01:36:15,061 --> 01:36:16,771
We are happy to get this opportunity.
1049
01:36:18,190 --> 01:36:22,319
Yes, 007's guns from the movie.
1050
01:36:23,028 --> 01:36:26,156
- 007?
- Yes, 007's guns!
1051
01:36:27,157 --> 01:36:28,366
Is this true?
1052
01:36:29,075 --> 01:36:33,079
Yes, sir, they were going
to bring us two guns,
1053
01:36:33,079 --> 01:36:37,167
two powerful guns,
guns that can kill people.
1054
01:36:37,167 --> 01:36:39,753
- Guns that can kill people?
- Yes.
1055
01:36:40,921 --> 01:36:44,424
[in English]
Actually, my friend Mr. Coleman,
1056
01:36:44,424 --> 01:36:48,887
he came all the way to, uh, donate
these guns for stupa's construction.
1057
01:36:50,263 --> 01:36:51,515
[in Dzongkha] Please have a look.
1058
01:36:55,602 --> 01:36:56,603
Here you go.
1059
01:37:01,691 --> 01:37:05,237
Oh! These are AK-47s!
Where did you get these?
1060
01:37:05,987 --> 01:37:07,739
Even the Bhutanese army doesn't
have these.
1061
01:37:09,324 --> 01:37:11,326
[chanting continues]
1062
01:37:22,295 --> 01:37:24,005
Please excuse us.
1063
01:37:27,968 --> 01:37:29,970
[whispering indistinctly]
1064
01:37:36,017 --> 01:37:38,687
Okay, now. Everyone, please, listen.
1065
01:37:41,815 --> 01:37:49,281
Our friend here has crossed many oceans
to come here from a land called America.
1066
01:37:49,281 --> 01:37:55,579
To bring these guns
as an offering for our stupa.
1067
01:37:56,246 --> 01:37:59,708
So let us express our gratitude to him.
1068
01:38:00,584 --> 01:38:05,964
These guns are
the deadliest guns in the world.
1069
01:38:05,964 --> 01:38:08,967
I have seen how they kill
with my own eyes.
1070
01:38:10,093 --> 01:38:18,643
Please place them into the foundation
with your own hands.
1071
01:38:19,811 --> 01:38:23,148
- [whispering indistinctly]
- And as you do, please pray
1072
01:38:23,148 --> 01:38:27,569
that wisdom and compassion destroys
1073
01:38:27,569 --> 01:38:33,908
all the hatred,
aggression and suffering in the world.
1074
01:38:33,908 --> 01:38:34,993
Please place them in.
1075
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:38,121
Please place them in.
1076
01:38:39,456 --> 01:38:40,832
[in English] Just throw it in.
1077
01:38:43,168 --> 01:38:45,920
[crowd cheering and whooping]
1078
01:38:54,971 --> 01:38:59,100
May all be victorious!
1079
01:39:03,813 --> 01:39:05,899
May all be victorious!

1088
01:41:23,244 --> 01:41:28,792
I wanted to offer our foreign friend here
1089
01:41:29,501 --> 01:41:31,836
a small token of appreciation...
1090
01:41:34,047 --> 01:41:41,846
for the kind offerings he has made.
1091
01:41:44,098 --> 01:41:47,352
[Benji] Phalluses are
a very important part of our culture.
1092
01:41:47,352 --> 01:41:50,980
We believe that it destroys duality,
1093
01:41:50,980 --> 01:41:55,235
and, uh, it gets us closer
to enlightenment.
1094
01:41:59,697 --> 01:42:01,699
[upbeat music playing]
1095
01:42:04,118 --> 01:42:05,119
Thank you.
1096
01:42:08,122 --> 01:42:13,628
May all beings have happiness,
1097
01:42:14,587 --> 01:42:18,341
may all beings be free from suffering.
1098
01:42:18,341 --> 01:42:20,426
[translating in English]
1099
01:42:24,556 --> 01:42:25,682
[in Dzongkha] Thank you.
1100
01:42:30,478 --> 01:42:33,439
[in English] Thank you so much
for your extremely generous contribution.
1101
01:42:34,148 --> 01:42:36,484
Uh, happy to contribute.
1102
01:42:38,319 --> 01:42:42,448
They say if you contribute and participate
in this kind of sacred rituals,
1103
01:42:42,448 --> 01:42:45,618
it will help you accumulate
incredible merits.
1104
01:42:46,661 --> 01:42:48,580
- Merits?
- Good deeds.
1105
01:42:50,290 --> 01:42:52,166
Oh, is that so?
1106
01:42:52,792 --> 01:42:56,963
Yeah, it will actually help you get rid
of your personal attachments.
1107
01:42:57,755 --> 01:43:00,258
But none of us are here
for those reasons, huh?
1108
01:43:01,259 --> 01:43:03,386
Yeah, of course not.
1109

Please take care, madame.

[in Dzongkha] Thank you for everything
you have done for us, Tshomo.

Madame, here is your eraser.

01:43:58,983 --> 01:44:02,654
You need it more than me.
1118
01:44:02,654 --> 01:44:05,657
You have important responsibilities.
