"Heads will roll" = đầu sẽ rơi (và lăn long lóc) -> nói rằng ai đó sẽ bị trừng phạt rất nặng về việc họ đã gây ra, thường là đuổi việc.
Ví dụ
How could the air force have bombed a school by mistake? Heads will roll, believe me!
The South African government has not learnt from Eskom’s 2008 power supply crisis. As such, the country can forget about getting out of its current prolonged (kéo dài) low-growth trap. Red lights are flashing at Eskom, but whose heads will roll? Will there be consequences (hậu quả)?
Zaitsev’s wife says she believes high-ranking officers in regional branches of the Interior Ministry, Investigative Committee, and Federal Security Service are conspiring (âm mưu) against her husband. She says they’re also pressuring (gây sức ép) the local courts to rule against him. “I’m afraid that they’ll just hang him in jail and say it was suicide (tự sát),” Zaitseva told Meduza. “He told the truth, and now everyone in Khakassia is afraid that heads will roll.”
