The Black hand gang tried to kill Franz, but they failed repetitively. At the end while the Black hand gang were having a picnic, they saw Franz and his wife while they were on a carriage they all stood up and one person shot them both dead. They were very close of failing because Franz had a bullet roof vest but he got shot on the neck.
