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

of three bullets fired.

How do you explain

the absence of the third bullet?

I can't.

I think I've seen this print before.

Where?

Hanging on the wall of my office.

So this was lifted from the scene of the

Stefan Heuss hit in Brussels last year.

A former IMF executive director.

Has he ever seen

a tread pattern like this before?

He believes it came from

a custom shoe made for a leg brace.

The braces are typically

made out of steel...

...or alloy,

but the condition of the leg...

...would determine the specific

type of device used.

He says that the prints

are a probable match.

Please get these over to Alan Kovacs

at FBI Impressions right away...

...and make sure

he has my contact numbers.

Thanks.

Ella, if the FBI confirms

that these prints are a match...

...it means the bank's

used the same assassin twice.

Which means if we can get him,

we can get the bank.

What was that?

That was Capitano Barillo, the man

in charge of the Calvini investigation.

- What did he want?

- My ass on a platter...

...and both of you

on the next flight out of Milan.

Didn't you tell him

what we just found?

I tried.

F*** him.

He can't force us to leave.

He has already spoken

to your superiors.

You have both been ordered home.

Arnie, you can't just sit there...

...and lecture me

about protocol and procedure.

You know what's happening here.

Well, who gives a sh*t

about jurisdictional provenance?

We just had a major breakthrough.

That's great, Arnie.

You're a real stand-up guy.

This is total bullshit.

I wish I could have

been more helpful.

Oh, no, you've been great, Alberto.

I'm gonna do everything I can

to take the heat off you.

Thanks.

Thanks for everything.

Sorry for all the trouble we caused.

What?

His leg brace would be made

of metal, right?

- So?

- So if he left through an airport...

...security would have made him

show it to them.

That's definitely him.

- He doesn't look like much.

- I think that's the idea.

Seems to know

where the cameras are.

Look how he always angles his face

just out of our line of sight.

Even if you do find him...

...that's not enough evidence to

convict the man without a confession.

If we find him, prosecution will be

irrelevant. He'll be a marked man.

He can either die for the bank

or flip for us.

I got him. He is traveling under

the name Sherwood, Timothy M.

He boarded Flight Alitalia 422,

departing Milan at 6 p.m. Yesterday...

...and arriving in New York

at JFK at 10 p.m.

What time's the next flight

to New York?

Detectives Hubbard, Ward, Ornelas,

this is Agent Lou Salinger.

- Finally.

- How you doing?

- Let me take that.

- Thanks. So, what do we have?

Well, we got lucky.

Some clip shots of him

moving through customs.

That's a good one.

The Sherwood ID he used? It's clean.

All of it attached to a dead address.

Where'd he go

after he cleared customs?

Don't know.

CCTV footage lost him at the curb.

We canvassed all the limousine

and taxicab companies in the city.

Airport parking, rental agencies.

Didn't come up with sh*t.

There's a chance

he might live in the city.

Why is that?

Kovacs from FBI Impressions called.

"The footprint was left by a shoe

used for knee-ankle-foot orthosis.

The tread pattern is exclusive

to shoes produced...

...at the Isaacson Orthopedic Institute

here in the city."

The shoe could have only come

from there.

Do you have a contact person

to run down?

We got Dr. Isaacson.

All right. You guys go check it out.

I'm expected at the office.

Hubb?

Get ready for the smackdown.

He's gonna come at you hard.

- Who is it?

- N.Y.P.D.

- Dr. Isaacson?

- Yeah.

Detective Ornelas, N.Y.P.D.

This is my partner, Detective Ward.

- We'd like to ask a couple questions.

- Why?

What do you want?

Why are you here?

Calm down. We just wanna ask you

a few questions about a patient.

Patient? What patient?

Come on, you know what time it is?

Listen, I'm sorry. I must go.

I really didn't do anything.

- I'm sorry. Good night.

- Doctor, if we could...

Douche bag's pinned out of his mind.

He thinks we're here to bust him.

Dr. Isaacson, please.

We have reason to believe your life

is in danger, grave danger.

We think one of your patients

is trying to kill you.

Kill me?

I'm Agent Salinger with Interpol.

We're assisting in this manhunt.

Why would a patient wanna kill me?

I'm an orthopedist.

This man's a psychotic. He's already

butchered seven doctors in Europe.

We got some serious evidence

to suggest you may be next.

Have you ever seen this man?

No, no. I don't think so.

Does the name Timothy Sherwood

mean anything to you, doctor?

No. How do you know

he's a patient of mine?

We have his footprint.

Yeah, the shoe was manufactured

by AGM Biomechanics...

...exclusively for the Isaacson Institute,

model K-A-F-O 1-2-1.

K-A-F-O 1-2-1?

We started prescribing

that three years ago.

We've used it on hundreds

of our patients.

Well, then we're gonna need

to review all of your files.

Right now?

Doctor, we need to find this man

before he finds you.

- What are you trying to do here, Ella?

- I'm doing my job.

You have any idea of the shitstorm

you've gotten me into?

- We're just trying to get to the truth.

- I get it.

You need to remember there's what

people wanna hear, wanna believe...

...there's everything else,

then there's the truth.

And since when is that okay?

I can't believe you're saying this to me.

The truth means responsibility, Arnie.

Exactly, which is why

everyone dreads it.

Look...

The IBBC is using one assassin

for all their hits...

...and we've tracked him here

to New York.

This guy can bury them.

They want me to put a gun

to your head.

You don't find this guy,

and I mean quick...

...they're gonna make me

pull the trigger.

- Do you want dessert?

- No, thank you.

I'd like one.

This is a game that rewards

patience and balance.

You must think like a man of action

and act like a man of thought.

Gentlemen.

Sorry to disturb you at home.

I'm afraid this couldn't wait.

Yes?

Salinger was in Milan.

Whitman too.

They have the scent.

It's only a matter of time

before they find our consultant.

Any recommendations?

I strongly advise

against doing anything...

... that would heighten your exposure

right now.

Wilhelm, we've leveraged ourselves

over the edge.

If we don't meet the delivery date,

buyers will cancel orders...

... our plans will implode...

... and this bank will be left

a bill it cannot pay.

Heightening exposure

is the least of our problems.

I agree.

We're about to engage Calvini's sons.

We can't allow anyone

to put our agenda at risk.

We must sever all ties

with the consultant.

Consider the mark, gentlemen.

Doing this could be

a very messy affair.

Well, then make it one.

I don't know why you pay me

to advise on these matters.

It is clear that you don't want my

counsel, only my corroboration.

Really, Wilhelm. We've had

just about all we can take of you.
