The Quiet Librarian

In a flashback, Adem, the young Bosnian soldier who helped Nura, introduces himself and his fellow soldier, Enes. Enes is upset that Adem helped Nura and is sure that her presence will foil their plans, but he agrees to bring Nura with them. They take her to their command center and introduce her to Captain Kovać, their commanding officer. He appears impressed with her actions but tells Nura that she acted recklessly. When she explains that she still wants to kill Luka and the third man who took part in her family’s murders, he refuses to take her back to the Serbian checkpoint. She meets Natasja, a lieutenant in the company who cuts Nura’s hair and provides her with a soldier’s uniform. Afterward, Nura looks at herself in the mirror: She has short hair and is clad in military fatigues, aviator sunglasses, and a beret. She feels transformed. She thinks that she is not the girl she once was, nor is she a victim—she is powerful.

In the present timeline, Hana goes downstairs to her workout room. After immigrating, she struggled with anger and depression. She purchased a heavy boxing bag and began to box in order to manage her emotions.
