The Forgiveness of Blood Page #4
We already know
what the Kanun says.
Reading the Kanun
and applying it
are two different things.
But my uncle's in jail.
He's already paying
for the crime.
But your father is still free.
He didn't do anything.
Didn't do anything?
Holding Sokol
while Zef stabbed him?
You saw what happened?
l've done my homework.
You mean you've been gossiping.
They don't care what's right.
All they want is blood.
That's why l'm here.
You need someone with experience
to represent you.
We know what happened,
and we're very sorry.
lt's Sokol's actions
that bring us here.
He came out with a knife
to stab them in their backs.
They did nothing
but defend themselves.
You can't condemn a murder
and defend it at the same time.
You're calling us
murderers and hypocrites?
As l said,
we appreciate
your coming to visit.
Of course, our door
is always open to you.
Give me some of the white ones.
Hurry up.
Use the blue ones.
Who is it?
You made it.
What's this?
Barbie!
Dren, what's wrong?
Dren.
Come here.
He's tired.
Are you tired?
You forget how to talk?
He hasn't been feeling well.
What happened?
He wants to go to school.
ls the school still
sending his teacher?
ls Mr. Skendaj coming
to give you lessons?
Dren and Bora
should be in school.
You think l don't know that?
for them to go back to school.
A besa?
They don't need a besa.
They're children.
By the Kanun
they shouldn't even be targeted.
Then why are they staying home?
lf we accept a besa,
they can take it away
whenever they want.
We'd be at their mercy.
What makes you even think
they'd give us a besa?
We don't know if we don't try.
So you bring in someone
from outside?
Do you know what
How do you know
You think his kind
What's he going to live on
if feuds are resolved?
Use your head.
Then let's ask Mr. Skendaj.
To do what?
- To ask for a besa.
- He's right.
He teaches Sokol's children too.
She should have had
a proper birthday.
Then you shouldn't have
picked a fight with Dad.
He shouldn't have
picked a fight with me.
Why does he even bother
to come visit?
How can you say that?
lt just makes everything worse.
- lt's not his fault!
Not here. Over there.
Wait.
Bora!
Let Tom in.
Hey, Nik.
What's with all the bricks?
l got something.
What?
What's that?
- Check it out.
- What's this?
My uncle in Toronto
sent me money for it.
Look at the video.
The class.
Hey, Nik! lt's me.
How are you?
ls this recording?
Tom got a new phone.
Come back. We miss you.
Go to the next clip. Ready?
- For what?
- Look.
Hey, Nik. How are you?
Everything's still the same.
Nothing new.
We had literature class.
l have to do the homework.
lt's easy.
Did Tom tell you
You know what Arben's like.
What else?
l'm sorry l haven't written,
but you know how it is.
We miss you.
Everybody asks about you.
I'm sorry
you have to stay home.
l hope things get better.
That's all for now.
Bye.
How do l play it again?
- Oh, God --
- Once more!
- How do l look?
- Fine. Just start.
Hi, Bardha.
How are you?
ls everything okay?
Where are you now,
in school or --
Why are you asking questions?
Bardha, this is my gym.
My bars.
l put boards up.
Here too.
Thanks for sending the video.
l was happy to see you.
l miss all of you too.
Seems like you're having
a good time.
l can't wait to see you again.
Bye.
Enough.
Walk straight to school.
Keep a close eye on Dren.
Don't let him out of your sight.
When you're done,
come straight home.
Don't forget
to thank Mr. Skendaj.
Bye.
And then my machine jammed,
and the foreman
took it out on me.
He was yelling at you in ltalian?
No, that's the owner.
The foreman is from Postribe.
- How are you?
- Hi.
How's it going?
Can l have a pack of Marlboros?
You have any without the tax stamp?
- The tax stamp?
How are you? Good?
Fine.
questioning Shpend about Mark.
Shpend?
Why were they questioning
Shpend?
Don't worry.
l'm sure it's nothing.
Have a good day.
Bye.
Nik!
Put your head down.
What did you do to the wall?
Are you crazy?
- lt's a wall. What's your problem?
- What are you talking about?
Go complain to Dad!
What did you do to the wall?
Leave me alone.
l can do what l want.
- Get down!
l don't want to!
Come down!
l don't want to!
- l told you to get down!
- What's your problem?
What are you doing?
Put down that knife!
Get out of here!
Stop it!
What's going on here?
Give me the knife.
Give me the knife, Nik!
He's messed up everything!
Out! Out!
Clean up.
Go!
Take the kids and get out.
Out! Out!
Go, Klinsmann.
Move.
Do you have Marlboros
without the tax stamp?
The ones from Montenegro?
No, l don't.
You know
where l can find them?
Try over there.
Excuse me.
Do you have Marlboros
without the tax stamp?
No, l don't have any.
l need five cartons.
l don't have that many.
You know
where l can get them?
Try the man over there.
He doesn't have them.
Leave me alone.
l've got things to do.
Can l buy the ones you have?
No. Now go on.
ls Dren asleep?
Yeah.
Did you hear that?
Get water! Rudina, quick!
Rudina, quick! Water!
Quick!
Nik, don't get close!
Don't get so close!
Water! Quickly!
Go inside, go inside.
You shouldn't have come.
Someone could be watching...
just waiting for you to show up.
We have to think
about how to respond.
We can't even begin to negotiate
as long as you're still free.
Mara said as much to Rudina.
You're talking to Mara about me?
She brought it up.
Go to the police.
lf you're innocent,
they'll set you free,
and Sokol's family will see it.
lf l'm innocent?
Sokol's cousin is a cop.
You think they'll treat me fairly?
At least in prison
you'd be safe.
And we could begin
to talk to them.
You want to trade
your father away?
ls that what you want?
We can't live like this
just because you and Zef --
You can't live like this?
How do you think it is for me?
You think l like living in hiding?
Away from my family?
So turn yourself in.
For yourself, for us.
You want to be free,
whatever the cost.
You've forgotten
because l was defending this family.
while Uncle Zef --
l was trying
to save my brother's life!
You're ready to sell me out...
just like that.
ls it that easy?
Don't move! Don't move!
Hands up!
Police! Police!
Get down!
On the ground! Get down!
Hold him!
Hands behind your back!
Stay down!
Get him up! Up!
Let's go! Move!
Nik.
l wasn't sure which one.
Those will do.
What are you waiting for?
Go get ready.
Nik...
you finally get a besa, and now
