The Forgiveness of Blood Page #5

you want to stay in the house?

What will l tell your father

when he asks

why you didn't come visit?

We have to do

something for him --

l can't go there.

l expect you to work

on the stable.

See if Dren and Bora are ready.

How's your father?

Have you seen him?

No.

We need money for a lawyer.

You have to take

advantage of your besa.

That's why l'm here, Mara.

We can't rely on just a besa.

lf you could go

and talk to them --

lt's too early.

You just got the besa.

We need to do something.

lt's not a woman's business.

lt's a man's job.

Women's opinions don't count.

My father's in prison.

What more do they expect --

for me to shoot him?

lt's not that, but --

What about Valmir

threatening my sister?

He's a bad influence in our family.

He's caused a lot of problems.

That's why l'm saying...

if you could go...

to talk with your uncle --

Maybe by Christmas

he might be willing

to receive someone.

Maybe we can do

something then.

- This Christmas?

- Yes.

Stay, Klinsmann.

Does he kick?

No, he doesn't kick.

He just doesn't know you,

and there are other horses,

so he's nervous.

His legs are crooked.

He has two bumps

over his eyes.

Means he scares easy.

But he's a strong horse.

And he's a hard worker.

l'll give you 200,000.

No, 400.

Four hundred?

lt's not a female.

Only a female's worth 400,000.

Two fifty.

Three hundred and -- three fifty.

We'll leave it at 300,000.

Three hundred thousand.

Three twenty.

He's a very good horse.

l'm not lowering my price.

- Hey, turn left.

- Why?

Just do it. You'll see.

What do you think?

l don't know.

l'll be right back.

- Hey.

- Nik.

Did you hear?

- Yeah, they gave you a besa.

- Yeah, two weeks.

That's it?

We asked for a month,

but that's all they gave us.

Anyway, l'm happy for you.

l wanted to see you,

but l wasn't sure if --

Nik.

Anyway, l just wanted to say hi.

Well, enjoy your freedom.

- See you.

- Bye.

What did she say?

Nothing.

Let's do something.

Come inside.

You're out of jail?

ls this how you welcome me?

Why didn't you visit me?

You got a besa.

How have you used it?

Do they know you got out?

Nik, they took away the besa.

What?

The besa isn't important.

What are you saying?

There will be others.

The only way to mediate

was if you were in jail.

You want me to stay in jail?

- What are we gonna --

- Stop!

We're both inside now?

When you were in jail,

we had a chance, but now --

l've done everything

l can to respect your loss.

My life is in your hands.

lf you want to kill me,

l'm right here.

So kill me now,

or let us go free.

What are you doing here?

Are you trying to provoke

my grandfather?

l've come to end this feud.

You bribed

your father's way out of jail.

How much will you pay

to end this feud?

Your father's freedom is an insult.

Being trapped inside isn't freedom.

Good, because you'll be inside

your entire life.

Now go home.

Go home where you belong.

Hear me?

Not here!

Not on our land!

lt would be shameful on our land!

Get up.

l've listened to you.

Now you listen to me.

l wake up every morning

with tears in my eyes for my son.

This feud pains us

as much as it does you.

Your father is out of jail,

and if he ever steps

out of his house, he's dead.

You say you respect me,

but you come here

with ultimatums.

You come here with great courage,

but you're still young,

just a kid.

You want to be free.

Okay.

But you, and only you.

You have 24 hours

to say good-bye to your family.

After that,

don't ever come back.

lf you go,

we won't come after you.

But if you return,

we'll bury you next to my son.

Now go.

Take him.

Where will he go?

Where's he going to stay?

lf he leaves,

he'll never come back.

Eventually we'll reconcile,

and then he'll return.

lf he leaves,

it's the same

as giving them blood.

l'm going to lose my son.

You want to give them that?

lt's better than him

being stuck here.

Nik...

you have to go.

Speak.

Why aren't you saying anything?

What do you want me to say?

You always say

you're protecting this family,

and now

you're not saying a word.

He should go.

My heart doesn't want it.

But it's his choice.

Not mine.

What about you?

What about me?

What are you going to do?

l don't know.

l'll figure something out.

l'll be fine.
