BLood is never unavenged

(Art. 917 of the Kanun)

Didn't your friend turn up?

Think, before you do this!

Think very carefully.

Are you scared?

Of course you're scared.

Of course you are.

You've got every reason to be scared.

Commissioner.

- Linda.

Freddy.

- Linda.

Well?

- The victim'd come from the restaurant.

Any witnesses?

- No. They probably used silencers.

They?

- Two weapons, different calibres.

CCTV?

- Not here or in the restaurant.

I've asked for the footage

from the approach roads.

Forensics have finished?

- Yes.

Albanian.

- I don't think so.

We've checked his passport,

his driver's licence. He's Italian.

A two-headed eagle is Albanian.

Alessandro del Piero. The Albanians

have certainly got a sense of humour.

Have I missed something?

- Put it this way. If that's del Piero,

they're gonna be a player short

at Juventus on Sunday.

They've turned him onto his stomach.

Give me a hand, Freddy.

Gently does it.

Commissioner, witnesses say the victim'd

drunk almost an entire bottle of water.

He was waiting for someone

before ordering.

Then he suddenly jumped up

and left without paying.

And the waiter didn't go after him?

- He thought he'd gone to the toilet.

After a whole bottle of water...

Have you got a minute, Commissioner?

- Yes, of course.

Right, Cassiers, good police work

means getting your priorities right.

So can you get some more peanuts?

A customer booked a table for

half past twelve but didn't turn up.

Vincke, a table for one?

It may be nothing

but I thought you should see it.

Yes, of course. That's good of you,

Linda. Take it away as evidence.

They've killed Dad.

Albanian clans, Vincke...

I don't know, I don't like it.

Those guys came straight from a war

and imported it into this country.

Why don't we dump the body

on Organised Crime?

You know who's in charge?

It lives in the sea

and is eaten with French fries.

Preferably in months with an R in them.

This time De Keyzer is welcome to it.

Right, what shall we do?

What's the plan?

What does anyone do if they want to

get somewhere in this world?

Fill up with petrol.

Not serving people, Binak?

With a smart car like that,

they usually pay with plastic.

Commissioner. Sir.

A good-looking guy. A relation?

A dead guy.

- Shame.

He's Albanian.

- An even greater shame.

D'you know him?

Or d'you know someone who might?

Listen, Tinky Winky.

My girlfriend works for

Trading Standards.

Maybe I should ask her if she's got time

to check the colour of your diesel?

Or the expiry date on your chocolate.

Bought in your shop this morning.

- It's still edible.

They have to put a date on it.

But there's a margin...

- I haven't got time for your crap.

Shehu. Prenk from the Shehu clan.

Try Prenk Shehu.

If a fly farts, Prenk Shehu hears it.

OK.

Ah, the law.

Welcome, gentlemen. Welcome.

I'd love to help you, Commissioner.

You know that. It'd be an honour.

But... you say

it's a revenge killing?

Are you sure he's Albanian?

- He had a ring with a two-headed eagle.

Everyone wears our eagle these days.

It's become fashionable.

It's a shame.

Its meaning is being lost.

He died on his stomach.

Is he from another clan, maybe?

The Gabas?

I don't know. There are so many

new people. And I don't get out much.

His killers turned him over

onto his stomach.

On his stomach or his back, so what?

Dead is dead.

The Kanun says

that's dying like a dog.

A dead person has to be on their back

so their soul can go up to heaven.

With a beech twig next to them.

- A beech twig?

What's the point of that?

- It's a mark of respect.

A mark of respect?

Not shooting someone,

that's a mark of respect!

Come back safely, Nazim. Promise me.

I promise.

Let me come with you.

No.

Are you a man of honour?

I'm a man of honour.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

Why? Why my father, Captain?

More important than why is who.

Mark Ukatjerra?

Pjetr? Pjetr Gaba?

Gaba's son?

When I left,

the Gaba clan was our partner.

What happened between our clans?

Do you question people with bad blood?

You're right, Captain.

From now on their shadow is walled in.

Until blood has been

washed away with blood.

Carry it with honour.

Because it brings blood to your house.

Daddy. Daddy, I'm thirsty.

Who's that?

- Martin.

D'you remember me?

- I doubt it.

He was two when you left.

Thank you.

That brings me to a second request.

Your father was to be

Martin's godfather.

It will be an honour

to cut his first hair.

Thank you.

Have you got a plan?

- Yes.

I'm going to get them

where they least expect to see me.

Well? How's it going?

Haven't seen anything yet.

But I'm not even halfway through.

Is me having to check

all the tapes on my own normal?

Of course it is, you're the youngest.

- It's cos you've got the sharpest eyes.

And that's because you're the youngest.

How's identification of the body going?

- His photo's not on file.

Not locally or nationally.

But the name Alessandro del Piero

made the Italians laugh.

Linda, are the Gabas still in Eilandje?

Yes, above the Tirano nightclub,

their cover.

Got your dancing shoes with you, Freddy?

- To be honest, I don't much fancy

waltzing into a clan war.

- Oh dear, Freddy. Are we scared?

Scared? Scared of what?

A few bullet holes?

If it's to pick up lowlifes who are back

on the street the next day, no thanks.

We mustn't screw this up.

If our body does belong to a clan,

the Kanun demands vengeance.

So we may well be scraping

his killers off the pavement tomorrow.

Is that such a bad thing?

Nazim?

Naomi?

Pjetr, trouble at the rear entrance.

Get out of here, Naomi. It's not safe.

- No way.

I'll see you on the jetty.

Now get out of here.

Just a minute.

Police.

What? The police!

Guns away. I said put your guns away.

Sh*t! The cops would have to come now!

You don't think it's a coincidence, eh?

Protection? Here?

The son of a b*tch!

Commissioner Vincke, Homicide.

Who's in charge here?

Are you Vincke?

- Yes.

And you dare come in here?

You dare look my father in the eye?

Of course. Why not?

Why not? Why right now?

Oh, sorry, were they playing

your favourite record?

No, Pjetr.

You're lucky you're a cop.

Who's the man in the photo?

Piss off!

Piss off.

And be glad you're allowed to

leave here alive.

In our own place, dammit!

Phone round,

send Nazim's photo to people.

I want to know where the rat is.

Did you crash into his car or something?

- No.

Are you sure? Not even a long time ago?

- I've never even pissed on his handle.

Good evening, Public Prosecutor.

Or maybe not.

Vincke has just been to see Gaba

together with that other clown.

That's quick. It was to be expected,

but that is quick. Hold on.

I'll have to ask you to excuse me.

Work.

Yes.

- Like I told you, sir,

Vincke is going to get under our feet

and he won't let up.

So get him taken off the case

before it's too late.

And the reason? The report says a man

with an Italian passport's been killed.
