The Forgiveness of Blood Page #3
they were doubly insulted
because you and Uncle Zef
came onto their land.
We went to talk to him.
We didn't do anything.
We were unarmed.
He welcomed us with his knife.
He attacked you?
He jumped on us like a crazy dog.
Mark...
your soup is getting cold.
Do we have any cigarettes?
l sent word for him to bring it.
You need to keep it loaded...
or there's no point having it.
Did Sokol do that to you?
Now load it.
Have you come across any of them?
No.
Make sure
you don't provoke them.
lf you see them on the street,
avoid them.
Kristjan Lukaj has been
bringing in bread from Shkodra.
But...
l start earlier now.
The time.
The light.
Good-bye.
Bread.
Thanks.
How are you?
Fine. And you?
Good.
Here's your money.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Good morning.
Four packs of cigarettes.
The same kind as always.
- Thank you.
- Have a good day.
You sell a lot of cigarettes?
Depends on the people.
But...
how much does a carton cost?
Fifteen thousand, twenty thousand,
depending on the brand.
And how much do you make?
Why do you want to know?
lf l buy three cartons,
can l pay you at the end of the week?
l work with money, Rudina.
l give credit all the time.
You're going to sell cigarettes?
A girl like you shouldn't even
be selling bread.
l'll give you the money
in a few days.
Thursday you'll pay me.
But...
since l'm getting three cartons,
l need a discount.
That's how it works.
- Hey.
- You're here?
Of course l'm here.
You're crazy.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
l can't believe l made it.
Did you have trouble
getting out?
No, it was easy.
lt was weird how easy it was.
What do you do all day?
l don't know.
Watch TV... think of you.
Shut up.
for Klodi's birthday.
Yeah. lt was boring.
l heard you were laughing
at his jokes.
- l was not.
-That's not what l heard.
You heard wrong.
- Really?
- Yes.
Did you miss me?
Do you really think
they would try something?
My grandfather says
they'd be happy
if they shot me or Dren.
He's just a little boy.
They know
it would hurt my family
more than anything.
My uncle has only daughters.
Anyway, they're happy
to see us suffer.
They won't let it end.
lt's so stupid.
l hate Sokol Bala.
l shouldn't talk badly
about the dead,
but if it wasn't for him --
Sokol Bala, your father...
your uncle --
My father was just defending himself.
Sokol insulted him.
The slightest insult
and they go crazy.
They all act like children.
l told Fatjana
l was going to meet you.
What? Why?
Don't worry.
- What if she tells someone?
- She won't tell anyone.
Why did you tell her?
l don't know.
l just had to tell someone.
She said l was stupid
for seeing you.
Who knows how long
you'll be in the feud.
You agree with her?
Wash your hands.
Put it in and pack it down.
Hold it.
Hold it straight.
What's this?
We made weights!
Nik.
- Why did you do this here?
- What?
Why did you do this here?
What's the big deal?
You expect me
l'm not cleaning it up.
Who asked you to?
What do you do all day?
Stop yelling.
lt's not a big deal.
Nik!
Get down!
Dren!
You've stayed inside.
You've been respectful.
Zef got 1 8 years.
They should be satisfied.
Now's the time to send
someone to talk to them.
Why should they listen to Samet?
He does business
with their family.
That was years ago.
lt's not the right time
to send someone.
Clearly their blood is still hot.
What about the person who mediated
for Enver Malaj's family?
l used to go to school
with his son, Jetmir.
lt was their flagsman.
No, they used Hasan Pema.
Who is Hasan Pema?
He's from Shkodra.
He's done a lot of mediations.
We'll deal with it ourselves.
But we need
someone with experience.
We have plenty of experience.
But we've never done this before.
You can't just send
You have to send
the right person
with a group of elders
whom they know and respect.
You wait
They say no.
Then you wait and go again.
That's just how it works.
An outsider would be neutral.
They might respect
someone who's mediated before.
No.
We'll solve our own problems.
How many still owe on credit?
Only six.
Good.
That's good.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Thank you.
You always give me
ones that are still warm.
l pull them
from the bottom of the pile.
Just like your father.
How is he?
l haven't seen him.
On top of everything else,
you're without your father.
You should know
not all my family
is of the same mind.
My uncle understands
there's enough blame
to go around.
lt's my cousins
who keep on about your father.
They insist he should be in jail
before they'll consider mediation.
But --
l know, l know.
lt's so stupid.
Come on.
We did this last week.
Dren...
start working and show me
what we learned last week.
Come on.
Dren, answer me.
What are you doing?
Sit up properly.
Pick up the pencil.
Are you listening? Start.
- l don't want to.
Listen to your teacher.
Where are you going?
Come back here!
What are you doing?
Get back over there.
Give me that.
Give me the controller.
- lt's mine. lt's my game.
- Give it to me.
Dren!
Come here!
Dren, come out!
Dren.
You hear me?
Don't be a baby.
Mr. Skendaj's waiting.
Dren!
Fine. Don't come out.
See if l care.
Dren...
you remember the story
Dad used to tell us
about the little boy
and the giant?
Remember
what the little boy did?
Remember how he was?
That's how you have to be.
Understand?
You have to be strong.
Turn back.
Don't cross my path
with that cart.
Turn back!
Stay in your village
with that thing.
Got it?
Go!
Go, Klinsmann.
- Nice to meet you.
- Welcome.
- Hasan Pema.
- Thank you for coming.
- Hello.
- How are you? Nik Lindani.
- Hasan Pema.
- Thank you for coming.
Good to be here.
You're Nik?
- Yes.
How are you?
Ded Lindani.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
By the Kanun, they should not
threaten a girl
or kill her for revenge.
Either they don't know the Kanun
or they're twisting it.
The Kanun respects him who forgives
more than him who kills.
When Nik's friend told me
about the situation you're in
and his sister being threatened,
my organization felt obliged
to do something.
My heart hurts
to hear of your troubles.
You need someone
with experience.
Over the past 1 5 years
l've mediated 47 feuds.
lf you entrust this case to me,
l promise to work hard
until blood is forgiven.
How long will it take?
Peace must have strong roots
so that it cannot be
easily destroyed.
Of course...
all of this work
comes with certain expenses.
The telephone...
gas...
certain gifts.
Their wound is still bleeding.
The Kanun calls for the payment
of six sacks of gold
at the closure of a feud.
