The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court Page #4

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

But I'm not convinced your

husband's death was an accident.

Look, here's my cell number.

You can call any time...

Stop calling me. I have nothing

to say to you. Just leave me alone.

Please. I just need to ask you

a few questions.

I have two children.

They've already lost their father.

- I understand.

- No, you don't.

Are you aware your husband

met with our investigators...

...the day he was killed?

You ever planning to come to bed?

- I heard your voice.

- I'm sorry.

- When'd he come in here?

- An hour ago.

T. Rex was in the closet again.

Let me take him back.

Come on, buddy.

Lou?

They knew about

the discrepancy in the report.

They had Skarssen's

statement changed.

How did they know, Viktor?

- Come inside.

- No.

Are you insane? It's freezing out.

Come outside.

Stop it!

Lou, wait.

Lou.

Have you lost your mind?

I think we take the dog for a walk.

Get some fresh air.

Who did this?

Who do you think?

From my apartment.

Whitman's got them too.

We need to inform

the secretary general immediately.

You gotta be kidding.

We start setting off alarms,

the opportunity will be lost.

Opportunity?

The last thing Schumer told Ella...

...was that Clment was giving him

information on an IBBC arms deal.

Umberto Calvini.

Chairman of Calvini Defense, one

of the largest defense contractors.

And probably

Italy's next prime minister.

This guy standing next to him,

that's our insider.

Andr Clment.

And?

Whitman found out that Clment

was negotiating for the IBBC...

...to purchase a large number

of missile guidance...

...and control systems

from Calvini Defense.

But at the very last minute,

the deal collapsed.

What happened?

We don't know. Whitman's

meeting me in Milan tomorrow.

We're gonna talk to Calvini

and find out.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Eleanor Whitman,

this is Inspector Alberto Cerutti.

- Charmed.

- Nice to meet you.

Please, there's not much time.

Calvini leaves for Turin

immediately after this engagement.

I didn't realize we were meeting

at a political rally.

Best we could do

on such short notice.

Thirtieth floor. I'll be waiting outside.

You need to press the button.

You look awful.

Thanks.

When was the last time

you got any sleep?

Don't know.

When was the last time

you had a healthy meal?

Can't remember.

- How about the last time you got laid?

- Why, are you offering?

You need to take better care

of yourself, Lou.

I can't have you crash and burn

like you did two years ago.

Please follow me.

This meeting is strictly off the record.

Mr. Calvini cannot be entangled

in your investigation...

...nor can his participation in this

discussion find its way to the press.
