- We grew up together.
- Then you're a Zulu?

:44:02
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, whatever.
I'm African, that's all.

:44:06
Me, too.
:44:08
My father had a farm.
:44:10
I grew up like any African boy in the bush.
:44:13
Ate African porridge.
No shoes except Sunday.

:44:16
Barefoot. No vote. Carry passbook.
:44:21
Robben Island jail. Careful, lani.
:44:30
Yeah.
:44:32
- Good morning, Dr. Herzog.
- Morning.

:44:36
I was wondering if you could assist me
in identifying these objects.

:44:40
Do you recognize them?
:44:42
The appear to be human teeth.
:44:45
Yes, they're from the body of the deceased.
:44:50
Gordon Ngubene.
:44:52
It may be so.
:44:54
Were you notified by Captain Stolz?
:44:58
Yes...
:45:00
Ngubene complained of a toothache.
:45:03
And what was noteworthy
about his appearance?

:45:07
Nothing.
:45:09
You see, the police report reads:
:45:11
The injuries to his head and body
were extensive.

:45:16
Doesn't that stir your memory just a trifle?
:45:20
I don't know.
:45:21
You don't know whether it does or not?
:45:25
I remember pulling the rotten teeth
from his mouth.

:45:28
And did you administer an anesthetic...
:45:31
before you tore the teeth from his jaws?
:45:34
I don't recall.
:45:37
And who ordered you to pull those teeth?
:45:41
I don't recall.
:45:45
Dr. Herzog, what day is it today?
:45:49
Friday, the 24th.
:45:51
I'm greatly relieved.
:45:53
I thought that you have lost
complete control of your faculties.

:45:57
That will be all. Thank you.
No more questions.
