00:00And as we speak, innocent people are dying in Khataz.
00:09The armies close the border, and thousands of people are fleeing to the mountains.
00:16Lama Shamdis has not been seen for two weeks, and his supporters are being rounded up and questioned.
00:25Lama Shamdis stands for peace.
00:30Dr. Kartha?
00:31When is our government going to do something and stop the carnage?
00:37Do you think the government will get involved?
00:39As usual, they will do too little, and they will do it too late.
00:43But while they issue denial, the number of Pati's refugees is growing.
00:50All towns see a story of suffering atrocities and violence at the hands of the government army.
00:56Many of Lama's supporters have been forced into hiding or fled into neighboring countries.
01:04Pati's refugees and their entire villages destroyed.
01:08Their family and friends disappeared.
01:11With the eyes of the world on them, the Pati's government can no longer deny what they've done.
01:17They are.
02:04I said no onions. I didn't want mustard.
02:10Where's my pickled ginger?
02:11I asked for extra pickled ginger.
02:13Um, Paul?
02:14Paul?
02:15Okay, here's the plan.
02:18The plan?
02:19You said it would be fun to track down Tyler Reed,
02:22so I made a list of places where we could find him.
02:24Let me see this.
02:25Mm-hmm. Come here.
02:29You gotta be kidding.
02:31Please.
02:33Yeah, right.
02:33The museum?
02:34He's into Asian art.
02:36Oh, this is something to do with that Tibetan guy he worships?
02:41Patanese, Bess.
02:42The Lama Shandis is from Patan.
02:45Whatever.
02:46Oh, Paul, come over here.
02:49Say you're a famous movie star.
02:50You claim you want privacy,
02:52but actually you go into withdrawal
02:54if you spend more than two hours without total adoration.
02:57Where do you go?
02:58Where do you go?
03:01The lot of them ballroom.
03:03Like, ask me something hard.
03:04Okay, um, where's my pickled ginger?
03:06See, it's simple.
03:10You just refuse to keep on?
03:12That's just not what's important to me, Bess.
03:14I have spent practically the whole afternoon looking for Dr. Kartha.
03:20First, he was acting really strange,
03:21and then for, like, the first time in history,
03:23he doesn't show up for class.
03:26Hi.
03:26Hi.
03:27Hi.
03:28Even Nancy will know,
03:29and you know how much she cares about popular culture.
03:31What?
03:31She's mocking me because I'm minimally interested
03:34in the fact that Tyler Reed happens to be in town,
03:36and I just casually wondered where I might be able to see him.
03:39A lot in the ballroom.
03:41Minimal interest.
03:43Oh, look.
03:44We'll look for him,
03:45but first, I gotta get something to eat.
03:47Paul?
03:51I know that it doesn't sound that weird,
03:53but really, he never misses a class.
03:55Nancy, you're obsessing.
03:56Will you stop with the missing teachers?
03:58That's him?
04:00No, it's not.
04:01You just don't recognize him with his clothes on.
04:03Yes.
04:04Okay, let's not cause a scene.
04:07Let's shoot some pool.
04:08Pool?
04:09I don't shoot a pool.
04:10Who shoots pool anymore?
04:27What are you doing?
04:30Oh, I'm just watching.
04:34I'm gonna make a call.
04:35Hello.
04:35I'd like to get in touch with Dr. Cartha.
04:40Yeah, I know you don't give out home numbers,
04:58but can you just tell me,
05:00did he attend his evening class?
05:03Did he call in sick?
05:04Yep, I'll help.
05:07Oh, come on.
05:22Hmm, I see.
05:23Isn't that unusual?
05:26I mean, he's not sick.
05:28He's not on vacation.
05:32Okay, I'll call back tomorrow.
05:34Thanks.
05:35Bye.
05:44Let's follow them.
05:45George!
05:45Come on, just outside.
05:46It's just that she really admires his politics.
05:50Did you see that car following Tyler?
06:18Probably some half-grace fan, like George.
06:20So what do we do now?
06:24Some guy at the rake's having a party?
06:25Great, let's go.
06:26I have to run an errand first.
06:27Now?
06:28It won't take long,
06:29and then we'll go to the party, I promise.
06:32Hey.
06:43Okay, Nance, what are we doing here?
06:45And more importantly, how long's it gonna take?
06:47This is Dr. Cartha's house.
06:53And I'm returning, he's coat.
06:57Nance's idea of a good time.
06:58He's not in.
07:14Good, let's go to the party.
07:17George, can you hand me my keys?
07:18Okay, Nance, what do you need that for?
07:37I just want to take a quick look around.
07:41So much for the party.
07:42Good.
07:54I know.
07:58Good.
08:00Good.
08:00Good.
08:01Good.
08:02Twelve.
08:03Good.
08:03Tonis.
10:10What's going on?
10:15What's the hurry, Nance?
10:16We're late for the party.
10:17We're late for the party.
10:48What's up?
10:50We were trying to sleep.
10:53Well, how about helping me break into Dr. Cartha's office?
10:58Oh, wasn't last night enough?
11:01Don't answer that.
11:02Really?
11:04I think that he might be in serious trouble.
11:07Do you know that for a fact?
11:09I mean, those two men could have been his friends.
11:12They didn't look that friendly to me.
11:14And you gotta ask yourself, why are they following Tyler Reed?
11:17George would be happy to help you figure that out.
11:25I'm going back to sleep.
11:27No way.
11:32I'm not going.
11:33If anyone comes by, just look like you belong here.
11:43I'm going back to sleep.
11:44I know.
11:44I know.
11:50I know.
11:50I know.
11:51I know.
11:52I know.
11:53I know.
11:54Ah, George, shrunken heads.
12:21Oh, cool.
12:24Harvard Master's Office.
12:43Sorry, wrong number.
12:49What are you thinking?
12:50I'm thinking about how the harbor fits into all this.
12:54Look, it's the Lama Shandis.
12:58It's with Dr. Kartha.
13:00They know each other.
13:02It's starting to make sense.
13:03Tyler Reed, Lama Shandis, Dr. Kartha, they're all connected with Bataan.
13:08I've read a lot about the Lama Shandis.
13:10He's totally nonviolent.
13:11Oh, tell that to the Patanese government.
13:14Apparently, they'll do almost anything to keep him quiet.
13:17So exactly what will staking out the Pattonese embassy tell us?
13:24If I'm right, this is where we'll find my friends in the black car.
13:28Oh, the ones that were following Tyler.
13:31Speaking of, listen to this, listen.
13:33Tyler Reed is taking a year off.
13:35He says that some things are more important than a 10 million a picture salary.
13:39I've always wondered what those things are.
13:42Wait, who is that?
13:44It's the guy we saw with Tyler Reed last night.
13:47It's the guy we saw with Tyler Reed last night.
14:17This has to be Tyler's hotel.
14:33This has to be Tyler's hotel.
14:35This has to be Tyler's hotel.
14:47This has to be Tyler's hotel.
14:53This has to be Tyler's hotel.
14:56This has to be Tyler's hotel.
14:57This has to be Tyler's hotel.
15:01Okay, Bess, you take his driver, George, you run interference, okay?
15:09oh my god he touched his arm i want your autograph i think the people that know the
15:21stars are much more interesting than the stars themselves and sometimes a whole lot cuter
15:27i'll get a pen no don't write on it read it don't trust your driver he's working for the
15:35patney's embassy how do you know i'm a student of dr carthus what do we do give me your sunglasses
15:44give me your sunglasses
15:45mommy
15:51so
16:01well it won't take the patney's long to figure out what happened
16:25they already know where we're going where do you think we're going to the harbor
16:29i told you i'm a student of dr carthus he trusts me you should too
16:35so tell me what's going on the patney's want to press black out of what's really going on over
16:45there it's in the papers every day no not the real story the story only lama shamdis can tell
16:50that's why the patney's want to detain him so you decided to finance his escape kartha helps
16:55organize it but somehow the patney's find out and they're not going to give the llama up without
16:59a fight how did you sorry it's just we're in a hurry and your driver's friends already know
17:05when the llama's arriving we're supposed to meet him there in 20 minutes
17:09it's nice to see you again kyle no idea what you've gotten yourself into believe me i do
17:36but i'll have to explain everything later now's not the time
17:40i thought you know once he was here they back off
18:05if he dies defending his people he's a martyr they don't want that
18:08if he dies in a car accident he's only a statistic
18:11hold on
18:20she's very good at this isn't she
18:42that's why i intend to spend the year traveling the country with lama shamdis
18:58people must know the truth about patan the lama's message of peace will be heard
19:03i've been thinking tyler you won't win an oscar for hanging upside down from a helicopter
19:13you gotta diversify now while you're still young
19:16dr cartha you left this behind in the courtyard when you disappeared
19:21tracking me down was outrageous dangerous totally uncalled for
19:30well i'm glad i did it
19:33me too
19:38so how long before i get my own mantra
19:53you do not need to worry about that george your mantra can be the hope of your own heart

20:08may i have a piece of pizza please
20:11certainly
20:13a wise person a truly wise person knows how to touch another in matters both large and small
20:19the lama shamdas was such a person and each of us sitting in the room with him knew it
20:25of course there are some who wish to silence the truth
20:28but there will always be those like dr cartha
20:31who risk their lives for it
20:33i was proud to know both of them
20:35thank you
