The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court

Listen, I'm from the Bronx,

so you need to keep it simple.

Why is the bank buying all this

missile-guidance stuff from Calvini?

I don't get it.

The window will stay closed.

You need to relax.

I'm more comfortable tense.

You came to us, remember?

You wanted a way out

and I'm offering you one.

I only met you 30 minutes ago...

...and now you expect me just

to walk away from everything I know...

...put my life in your hands.

You want a little more time

to think things through, I get it...

...but we're gonna need

another meet...

...and I'm gonna need to

see some paper.

Yes. Now get out of the car.

- Hey.

- Ella?

- You done?

- Yeah, I just met with him.

- And?

- Oh, he's real.

He's real enough

to blow this thing wide open.

He told me the bank's

buying $200 million worth...

...of missile-guidance systems.

- What do they need those for?

- I don't know.

You gonna see him a second time?

Yeah, yeah. Listen, we're gonna meet

again. He's agreed to bring me paper.

Right, I'll call you later.

Thanks, Elle.

Hey.

Are you experiencing

any blurred or double vision?

No.

Nothing.

Just follow the light, please.

It's been noted that you were

experiencing ringing in your ears.

Yes.

Well, I would like to keep you here

overnight for observation.

That won't be necessary.

Where's my colleague?

Thomas Schumer.

It was definitely a heart attack?

"Acute myocardial infarction." Yes.

Your penlight, can I use it?

What are you doing?

Can you help me turn him over?

- I'm afraid I can't allow you to...

- Just help me.

We need to contact the Berlin police

and request an immediate autopsy.

Why?

Because I don't think this man

died of natural causes.

Come on, Ella.

If Schumer met this insider

in Berlin...

...odds are this guy's

a foreign national. So it's federal.

But you're not listening to me.

Let them meet again.

The guy's gonna bring paper

and Tommy will close him.

You still have to coordinate with

Justice if you want witness protection.

I just tried both their cells again.

Straight to voicemail.

Sh*t.

I'm gonna try Tommy's wife at work.

If I have to bring DOJ into this...

...they're gonna do what they've

always done with this.

They're gonna stall us with red tape,

informant's gonna bolt...

...and I'm telling you,

he could be the bombshell...

...we've spent the last two years

looking for.

Voicemail.

What's going on?

Why aren't they calling us back?

What do you want me to do?

I can't afford another turf war.

- It's Salinger.

- Finally. Put him on speaker.

Jesus, Lou.

What took you guys so long?

Hello? You there?

Yeah.

So, what's up?

Tommy's dead.

What?

He's dead, Ella.

I need you to get over here

as soon as you can.

Unnaturally red blood,

lambent membranes.

Two key indicators

of hydrocyanic poisoning.

This lesion on the neck...

...is how the poison was introduced

into the bloodstream, percutaneously.

The lesion tested negative

for any poison.

There are any number of reasons

for this discoloration of the blood...

...least likely of which

is hydrocyanic...

I'm telling you, he was murdered.

Well, I'm assuming

you suspect a combination...

...of prussic acid and DMSO...

...but then the reaction time

would have been immediate.

Within one minute.

Which means the killer

would have had to deliver the toxin...

...after Schumer exited the car.

So did you see anything unusual?

Anybody approaching Schumer?

No. I mean...

I don't know.

What is it that makes you so certain

he was assassinated?

Agent Salinger and I have reason

to believe this might be connected...

...to an ongoing investigation

being conducted...

...by both my team at the Manhattan

DA's office and Interpol.

- What investigation?

- I run a group at Interpol...

...that focuses on financial operations

associated with organized crime.

About two years ago, we began

receiving correlated intelligence...

...regarding the illicit activities of

a bank based out of Luxembourg...

...the International Bank

of Business and Credit.

Under the direction of its chairman,

Jonas Skarssen...

...we believe the IBBC has quietly

become the bank of choice...

...for monies associated with

organized crime, capital flight...

How is any of this related to Schumer

and the New York DA's office?

The IBBC's Manhattan branch...

...is the epicenter of its U.S.

Money-laundering operation.

Schumer and I

were working this case together.

Agent Salinger and his department

have been assisting us.

Why weren't we informed

of these details prior to this briefing?

What was Schumer doing

here in Berlin?

I set him up on a blind date

with an IBBC executive...

...who was aware of our investigation

and looking to make a deal.

And the identity of this informant?

We don't know. He took precautions

to keep his identity anonymous.

For the past 12 hours,

I've been trying hard to find him.

I believe that if this man isn't

already dead, he soon will be.

Why?

Because, just like Schumer...

...anyone that's in a position

to move against this bank...

...has either ended up dead

or disappeared.

Agent Salinger,

given your history with this matter...

...I should think

you would be more careful...

...before making

such extreme accusations.

My history?

What are you talking about?

We've reviewed your dossier.

Have you?

Well, that means you know

just about sh*t.

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...
