Visit's over.

The visit's over!

Why did you ask me

to come here, Mr. Blomfeld?

To offer you the very thing

you thought to offer me.

Enlightenment.

We've been parading

our limitations all day.

So, hopefully we'll find

some enlightenment later.

I have killed.

I've killed lots.

Killed the kaffirs

because I chose to.

Exercised my free will to do it,

enjoyed it.

So don't you come in here

with your f***ing cross

pretending you can love me.

You swear...

too much.

Too right, my bru.

But now I'm inside your head,

staring right back at you

every time you look

in the mirror.

Hatred,

always in you, from now on.

I'm right aren't I, kaffir?

Brutality is the aberration,

Mr. Blomfeld, not love.

Think on that,

no matter...

how uncomfortable

it may make you feel.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Be careful.

He was security police.

Some of them are.

Amandla.

Amandla.

I see now what your plan is.

F*** you all, Schmidt.

Open.

Open.

There goes the

holiday in Namibia Se Poes.

You said all the records

was destroyed?

There was just too much.

Nobody's going

to find out anything

if you just hou jou bek.

And that goes for you too, Mosi.

Let me sort this out.

How is it, Chommie?

Long time no see.

I see you got some new friends.

Can I help?

Yeah, take him to the toilet,

looks like he needs a piss.

Where is the Archbishop?

Why?

Because he's not playing

in the sand.

He's busy.

It's hard work.

You need some sun screen.

You might have a long wait,

the Archbishop

is seeing someone.

Waiting is our game, lady.

Waiting's our game.

Mrs. Morobe, Kefilwe,

there must be something else

you could tell me.

Nobody see her

ever since she go.

Nobody knows nothing.

But Mpho did tell me

that Osiswe was afraid.

So, she was frightened?

I tell her, stay in house.

Mpho tells me,

"I'm not Mamparra,

I'm not live like prisoner."

Father,

Mpho did tell me that Osiswe

was in the mix

of Security Police,

afraid of Operation

Hacksaw or something.

Hacksaw?

Operation Hacksaw?

Father,

I'm begging you, Father,

please!

Find me just one piece of bone

so I can make

a decent burial for my girl.

I promise,

Mrs. Morobe,

I promise.

Thank you.

Officer.

Good morning, Archbishop.

Excuse me, Your Grace.

I just want to ask him

a question.

It's okay.

Okay.

Can I ask you a question?

It's about loyalty.

Sir,

you served your country

for 30 years,

loyally,

then you witch-hunted.

That's kak, no?

This is not a witch hunt.

Thank you, Officer.

Excuse me, sir,

Your Grace, just...

I was just wondering.

Do you people think

you're better than us?

And the reason I say that

is because,

let's say going forward,
