Sgt. Dreyer:
I had nothing personally against him, sir. I was just following orders. Reverend Mzondo:
Whose orders? Sgt. Dreyer:
We would just get told. You have to take the guy out. It was necessary. Reverend Mzondo:
To stab him 37 times? Sgt. Dreyer:
Hubert fought like a tiger. Reverend Mzondo:
How does a man with a heart condition fight like a tiger? Sgt. Dreyer:
He was fighting for his life. [Hubert Sobandla's mother cries out] Sgt. Dreyer:
I wish to apologize to Mrs. Sobandla. I am very sorry. I've told the truth. I'm asking for amnesty

Can you rape with a political motive?
00:00:08.452 --> 00:00:12.706
When the security police
raped women in detention,
00:00:12.079 --> 00:00:14.917
they justified it
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.212
by claiming it was necessary
to extract information.
00:00:18.295 --> 00:00:24.718
So do you think you can rape
with a political motive?
00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:30.432
Well, speaking as a lawyer,
00:00:30.516 --> 00:00:36.105
I suppose...
you can rape with political motive...
00:00:37.356 --> 00:00:38.983
uh, if...
00:00:39.003 --> 00:00:42.778
For example, if rape is used as a torture
00:00:42.861 --> 00:00:46.448
to extract information, then, logically...
00:00:47.007 --> 00:00:49.243
rape can be...
00:00:50.285 --> 00:00:52.999
politically motivated.
00:00:52.121 --> 00:00:56.458
So you think rape can...
00:00:56.542 --> 00:00:58.168
Can be logical?
00:01:01.255 --> 00:01:04.999
Would, um, anyone
like some coffee?
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:06.343
No, I think
we'd better be going now.
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:08.303
It's getting late. Amy?
00:01:08.387 --> 00:01:11.999
- Thank you. That was wonderful...
- Technically speaking,
00:01:11.181 --> 00:01:14.226
it's kind of a difficult one to...
You know, to get around.
00:01:14.309 --> 00:01:15.001
I mean, you have to have...
00:01:17.521 --> 00:01:19.993
Just as the Nazis claim
00:01:19.148 --> 00:01:21.999
that following orders
exonerated them from guilt,
