          Tudor Moldovan: After all the killings in you record, your time had to come at some point...

          Paraipan: Yes, but this could be true for you too...

          Tudor Moldovan: Indeed, it could

          Paraipan: Paraipan attempts to grab the gun, but Moldovan is quicker

          Tudor Moldovan: You had one last bulet, didn't you? You really think I am that stupid?

          Paraipan: I am trying... I have nothing to lose.

          Tudor Moldovan: Maybe you can get away again like you did in last November...

          Paraipan: To end up trialed by Antonescu or crucified by the families of those who I... no... I prefer you instead

        Nicolaescu in a great concluding sequel
        "Revansa" (Payback) appeared not so long after the preview movie of the series, "Un comisar acuza" (The Police Inspector Calls). In this sequel we meet up with police inspector Tudor Moldovan,once again, who wasn't actually killed and who has returned to put an end to Paraipan's actions once and for all. When Paraipan kidnaps Moldovan's kid, the police inspector makes up his mind to punish Paraipan and his bosses and to finish off the fascist movement, lead by Zavoianu and his allies. Together with the communist that fight to gain power, Moldovan takes out his enemies one by one. However, the duel between Paraipan and Moldovan is not so spectacular as it was in "The Police Inspector Calls", but it brings the two characters closer, in a longer dialogue. After he accomplishes his mission, Moldovan doesn't get what he deserves, he is betrayed by his leaders, so the movie ends again in a confusing and bitter way. The movie leaves a few questions without answer in the end, but if you are already used to Nicolaescu's style, this won't be a surprise. The movie is directed brilliantly and has it's moments. It's really good and if you've seen "The Police Inspector Calls" , then you must see this one as well.
