28 June 1914 in Sarajevo, a man named Gavrilo Princip (a member of the Black Hand) wanders the street. He is just one of a number of young assassins who have come to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand. They line the route along which the Archduke is to drive. They have bombs and pistols ready in their pockets. Gavrilo nervously fingers the pistols in his pocket as he waits.....he hears a sound of explosion. The dead is done.One of his compatriots must have killed the Archduke but there he is! the car and Franz next to him is his wife in a white dress who is dead, Gavrilo has no time to think. He take his pistol out from his pocket, aims on the car and pulls the trigger....he doesn't know how many bullets he shot before he is grabbed and pushed to the ground. Punches and kicks the rain down on him. It is over.
