He forces her to go with him to the border and kills an SNB officer. They are led by some mysterious person but Zeman chases them. Marie tries to run away but drowns in swamp. Her husband is killed by the person. Zeman then investigates and manages to track down the smuggler.

Cast
gollark: No.
gollark: Not to SQL injection, to XSS.
gollark: Of course, that's one box. As PHP is *quite bad*, the others won't be automatically protected, presumably, so there may be *some* vunerable boxes.
gollark: TJ09's not stupid. `<script>alert("hi")</script>` in a box won't actually run.
gollark: (that in a text input, I mean, not the SQL command line or whatever)
