The Forgiveness of Blood Page #2
Zef!
Stay.
- What did she say?
- lt's not what she said.
Just tell me what she said.
She didn't have to say anything.
lt was what she was thinking.
So what was she thinking?
Well, she didn't reject me, so --
She didn't reject you.
Not bad.
Pass me that wrench.
his one?
he other one.
Pass me the shock.
hese things are completely shot.
l'm getting the Kawasaki ones.
For this thing?
You should just buy a new bike.
Lift it up.
Lift it.
A little more.
- Nik, where have you been?
- What's up?
We've been looking for you.
- What's going on?
- Come with us.
- Wait, l'm just --
- Come on. his can't wait.
Where are you going?
Quick. Move.
- What's going on?
- Just get in and we'll tell you.
Get your head down.
What's going on?
Get inside, quick.
hank you.
- Did they tell you?
-Yeah. How did it happen?
Sokol blocked the road
and got into a fight with Dad.
Dad told Uncle Zef,
and they went back.
And stabbed him?
Hey, boy!
Come here.
Do you know
where your father is?
No.
When was the last time
you saw him?
his morning.
ell me about the fight
he got into with Sokol at the pub.
He doesn't know anything.
Who started the fight?
Listen...
he'd be safer in custody
than he is in hiding.
We don't know where he is.
Let's go.
As if we didn't know
Sokol's cousin is a police officer.
Have you heard from Dad?
Adrian Pragami saw him running
across his field afterwards.
He's probably headed for Rragam.
We've tried calling.
His phone is off.
For the moment,
you might not owe
But you know
that's not the way they see it.
By the Kanun, your family
must stay in isolation.
But Sokol did you wrong
with your road and your land.
So we have to know
what happened:
who attacked whom,
what started it.
Maybe he stabbed himself
as he tumbled to the ground.
Even if my sons are partly to blame,
Sokol blocked the road.
He cut off my son's livelihood.
So there should be no blood debt.
Ded, the Kanun says
to protect your land.
Remember what happened
to Kujtim Sula?
What happened?
Somebody broke into his house.
He tried to defend it with a gun
and ended up shooting the boy.
Even then, Kujtim spent
five years in isolation
just for trying to protect his home.
But here they don't know
what they're defending.
They believe
it's their land to protect.
l wish Dad would send
a message already.
lt could be dangerous.
So how many people
are we sending?
hree people to ask for a besa.
We need to send the right people.
lf they grant the besa,
how many go to the funeral?
Twenty.
l want to go too
if they give us a besa.
You're too young.
l'm old enough to be targeted.
Out of the question.
Get back inside!
What do you think you're doing?
Nothing.
l just wanted to see.
What the hell are you thinking?
You don't set foot outside,
understand?
From now on,
we all stay inside.
Out of respect for their loss.
Dren as well.
- Dren's just a child.
- lt doesn't matter!
lt's too risky.
You're gonna use up
all the minutes.
Hello, Shpend. How are you?
Everything okay?
Fine.
- What's this?
- My wife prepared these for you.
hat's very kind of her.
Thank you.
How are you?
Mark sent a text message
to let you know he's safe.
lt was from an anonymous number.
Rudina.
Your grandfather and l
have decided
that starting tomorrow,
you'll do the bread route.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
Why?
We need to do something.
We can't survive like this.
As it is, my foreman will fire me
if l don't get back.
Just 'cause she's a girl?
Nik, you need to help her.
What about school?
And your brothers?
How would they feel
if you went while they couldn't?
For how long?
When is that going to be?
Always put the chain on this side
so you don't hurt him.
ry it.
No, the way l told you.
Like this.
And always on the fourth link.
Understand?
Yes.
You have to tie this here.
Twice.
Tight. Understand?
Show me.
Don't be so nervous.
He's not going to do anything.
Good.
Tight.
Again, tight. Good.
Shh! Klinsmann.
Rudina.
Nik.
What?
- l'm hungry.
- Ask Bora.
- l don't know what to make.
- l'm hungry!
- Enough!
Rudina...
l already got my bread.
From who?
Kristjan Lukaj.
He's been bringing it from Shkodra.
But you always get it from us.
What can l tell you?
l can't buy bread l don't need.
Can't you just buy
your usual order?
What would l do with it?
What about tomorrow?
Tomorrow...
get here before Kristjan
and l'll take your bread.
Okay?
Rudina.
Wait a moment.
l have to get going.
Take this.
Thank you.
No, Klinsmann. Not here.
Let's go.
How am l supposed to kill him?
You have to be faster.
l'm trying, but he's too fast.
You shouldn't play
if you don't know how.
You think you're
the only one who can play?
l know how to play.
Go, Bora.
Hey.
What's up?
What's this?
What have you done here?
Some modifications.
Check it out.
This is new?
What did you do?
lt's crooked!
You got the shocks.
What do you think?
Where'd you get the money?
Enough, enough.
Over here.
l can't go out there.
What's happening?
There was a party at Klodi's.
- How was it?
- Good. We had fun.
- What was it for?
- His 1 8th birthday.
- Everyone?
Everyone?
Yeah.
Did you get drunk?
Yeah, what do you think?
- Was Bardha there?
- She was there.
But Klodi, l don't know --
Why? What happened?
We were all dancing,
and he kept making her laugh.
Klodi? Are you kidding?
l'm just saying.
You better do something.
Write some love poems
or something.
What do you do all day?
Think.
lf you keep sitting on your ass,
you'll end up
looking like my uncle.
You all right?
l'm fine.
At first l couldn't believe
it was true, but now --
They'll figure
something out eventually.
Yeah,
but how long is eventually?
You remember that kid
in fourth grade
who had to stay in isolation?
Jetmir Malaj.
He was stuck in his house
for, like, six years.
Yeah, but they got some mediator,
and they settled it.
Eventually they always mediate.
All they do is sit
and talk about the Kanun.
to deliver lime to his new house.
- And you did it?
- Yeah.
- How much did he pay you?
- Three thousand.
You shouldn't do something
like that for less than 5,000.
l was already going
in that direction.
lt doesn't matter.
What was l supposed to do?
Rudina, where's the cell phone?
l bought more minutes.
l'll do it.
Where'd you put the phone?
- Over there.
Did you find someplace safe?
lt's best you don't know
where l am.
What about the police?
They've been by twice.
Are you okay?
Well enough.
My eyes are acting up.
l need my drops.
Has Sokol's family tried anything?
They didn't give us
a besa for the funeral.
They say
