Col. de Jager:
Make no mistake, there is no greater pain than dishonor. The people at the top walked away from us. We'll get you your amnesty, they said, but, from now on, we know nothing. You're on your own, they said. What's my new rank in the new South Africa, eh? Not Colonel. Perpetrator. Psychopath. Lunatic. I was a professional! I was a hero

Make no mistake...
00:00:04.793 --> 00:00:07.421
there is no greater pain than dishonor.
00:00:07.504 --> 00:00:09.757
People at the top walked away from us.
00:00:09.084 --> 00:00:13.135
“We'll get you your amnesty,” they said,
“but from now on, we know nothing.”
00:00:13.218 --> 00:00:14.553
“You're on your own,” they said.
00:00:14.637 --> 00:00:17.931
What's my new rank in the new
South Africa, hey? Not colonel.
00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:21.477
Perpetrator, psychopath, lunatic.
00:00:21.056 --> 00:00:24.313
I was a professional. I was a hero.
00:00:24.396 --> 00:00:27.524
If it was a difficult case,
they used to fly De Jager in.
00:00:27.608 --> 00:00:29.276
Well, how did they
get the message to you?
00:00:29.036 --> 00:00:31.945
A wink of an eye,
nod of a head, wave of a hand.
00:00:32.821 --> 00:00:34.114
Come on.
00:00:34.198 --> 00:00:36.095
We understood what it meant.
“Take them out.”
00:00:37.999 --> 00:00:40.621
Oh, you can do better than that.
I need proof.
