Then, Ferdi is tortured by the brothel bouncers, until he is burning for revenge. He then becomes a waiter at a kick-boxing club, and becomes an amateur boxer, while Riri still continues her profession. One day, they meet each other in a shopping center and Ferdi asks Riri to run away with him. When the men of Mama Rosa finds them, Ferdi knocks them out one by one with a broken beer bottle.
