I can't imagine why he's being detained.
:26:03
You'd be surprised how many...
:26:05
honest, churchgoing Bantu
we come across during a working day.

:26:10
Meneer Du Toit, our task is not an easy one.
:26:15
The press screaming bloody murder,
especially the English...

:26:18
and they will be the first to squeal
if the Reds took over, make no mistake.

:26:23
We're just doing our job.
I'm sure you understand.

:26:27
Of course I understand, Colonel.
:26:28
I know how complex your position is.
I was just trying to say that...

:26:33
we're only human,
and we can all make a mistake.

:26:36
Yeah, we can indeed.
Meneer Du Toit, we can indeed.

:26:39
And I think one might have been made here.
:26:44
Would you mind if I asked you
a few questions about Ngubene?

:26:47
I'd welcome it.
:26:49
Did he ever discuss
his son's death with you?

:26:53
I was the one who broke the news to him.
:26:57
But he accepted the truth?
:27:00
Well, he was upset, of course.
:27:02
But he is a religious man, and in time
he will resign himself to it, I'm sure.

:27:07
You mean he hasn't?
:27:09
Was he angry? Rebellious?
:27:11
Come along, Colonel.
:27:14
If someone told you
that your child had died...

:27:16
and wouldn't tell you how it happened
or where the body was buried...

:27:21
wouldn't you be upset?
:27:22
We told him how his son died.
:27:25
And when the time is right,
we will tell him where he's buried.

:27:28
What are you waiting for?
:27:34
- You have a son, Meneer Du Toit?
- Yes.

:27:37
Does he burn and destroy
everything he can lay his hands on?

:27:41
No. And neither does mine.
That's what I can't understand...

:27:45
after everything the government
does for them, with an open heart.

:27:50
Think about it.
:27:52
We're for you, not against you.
:27:54
Believe me,
I'm with you all the way, Colonel.

:27:56
If Ngubene is the innocent man you claim,
he will be released soon.
