The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court Page #2

Synopsis: Late in the 20th century, in response to repeated mass atrocities that convulsed the world, more than 120 countries united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC)-the first permanent, independent (treaty based) international criminal court created to prosecute perpetrators (no matter how powerful) of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court follows dynamic ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for 3 years across 4 continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system, and charges Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur, challenging the UN Security Council to arrest him. Building cases against genocidal criminals presents huge challenges, and the Prosecutor has a justice mandate but no police force. At every turn, he must pressure the international community to muster political w

I realize this is a trying time

for you both, but until I'm provided...

...with something more compelling

than unsubstantiated theories...

...pursuing the IBBC is simply

not going to happen here in Germany.

Concorde Hotel, please.

What was that back there? What

history was Diemer talking about?

- Don't worry.

- Don't give me that sh*t.

- What do they know that I don't?

- They don't know anything.

Enough to get a rise out of you.

I'm not getting into it.

You're so curious, read my file.

I should never have let Tommy

walk into this.

You didn't. I approved the meet.

I was across the f***ing street, Ella.

I was right there.

I saw him go down.

I didn't see a thing.

We won't let them bury this, Lou.

This canvas appeals to you?

I like the look of agony.

Why?

Because I know it's true.

What am I doing here?

Umberto Calvini is disengaging

from the deal.

Your principle would like to bring

you in to troubleshoot the situation.

If Calvini refuses to move forward, my

involvement won't make a difference.

Your involvement would allow them

to appeal to Calvini's two sons...

...who are much more open-minded.

You'll find all the details in the file.

I'll contact you

once negotiations are underway.

IBBC executive dies

in freak road accident

Luxembourg high society in shock

at death of Andr Clment

Rene?

What are you doing here so early?

Salinger.

I found the insider.

What?

I found the guy that Schumer

met with in Berlin.

Andr Clment?

The IBBC's senior vice president

of acquisitions.

He was killed in a road accident

just outside Luxembourg...

...approximately nine hours

after Schumer's death.

And this is the gendarmerie's

preliminary accident report.

He arrived in Berlin at 8 a. M...

...on Luxair, Flight 9871

from Luxembourg.

What doesn't track is in his statement,

the IBBC chairman, Jonas Skarssen...

...claims that Clment had been with

him in Luxembourg since 10 a. M...

...which is obviously impossible

if Clment arrived in Berlin at 8 a.m.

Did the gendarmerie say anything

about this inconsistency?

Nothing.

- I haven't told them.

- What?

I wanna go to Luxembourg

and question Skarssen myself.

- No. Absolutely no.

- Viktor, listen to me.

I go to Luxembourg,

Skarssen confirms that statement...

...I catch him in that lie,

I can build...

For chrissake, Lou,

you're not at the Yard anymore.

Interpol is not

in the law-enforcement business.

We deal in intelligence

and facilitation.

Focus on that, work that and pass your

take onto the appropriate authorities.

And then what?

You know we've been circulating

our take since the very beginning.

No one ever does anything,

no one ever can.

Whatever case we have gets lost
