The Forgiveness of Blood Page #3

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

his family any blood at all.

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.

l should represent my father.

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?
