The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court Page #6

I was lost long before the Wall fell.

I was once destined to become

a man much like yourself.

True-hearted...

...determined...

...full of purpose.

But...

...character is easier kept

than recovered.

We cannot control

the things life does to us.

They are done before you know it,

and once they are done...

...they make you do other things...

...until at last,

everything comes between you...

...and the man you wanted to be.

No.

We all have choices in life.

You made yours.

Sometimes a man

can meet his destiny...

...on the road he took to avoid it.

Skarssen and that bank need to

answer for what they've done.

They have to be brought to justice.

You can help me do that.

Justice...

...is not possible.

Why not?

Because, Agent Salinger...

...your idea of justice is an illusion.

Understand the very system

that you serve and protect...

... will never allow anything to happen

to Skarssen or the bank.

On the contrary.

The system guarantees

the IBBC's safety...

...because everyone is involved.

What do you mean, "everyone"?

Hezbollah.

CIA.

The Columbian drug cartels.

Russian organized crime.

Governments of Iran, Germany,

China, your government.

Every multinational corporation,

every one.

They all need banks like the IBBC...

...so that they can operate

within the black and gray latitudes.

And this is why

your investigative efforts...

...have either been ignored

or undermined...

...and why you and I

will be quietly disposed of...

...before any case against the bank

ever reaches a court of law.

So, what are we all

supposed to do?

We just supposed to give up...

...and accept that

this is the way of the world?

I'm not gonna do that.

I still believe... I know...

...that there has to be a way

to bring down this bank...

...and you are gonna help me.

You understand...

...if you really want to

stop the IBBC...

...you won't be able to do it within the

boundaries of your system of justice.

You will have to go outside.

Once you do...

...there will always be

collateral damage.

Yes.

Should you sacrifice your own ideals

for the greater good?

That's a difficult choice,

one I understand all too well...

...but as you so eloquently put it...

...sometimes a man

can meet his destiny...

...on the road he took to avoid it.

What?

What are you doing?

I think it's time for you to leave.

- Leave? What are you talking about?

- You know what I'm talking about.

No way, Lou.

No f***ing way.

You've already got him turned.

Now go back in there

and get him to come in on his own.

We can use everything.

We'll blow this whole thing wide open.

- I don't think so.

- Why not?

I'm not gonna make

the same mistake twice.

- I can protect him, Lou.

- No, you can't. They'll get to him.

If they can't, they'll get to you.

If they can't get to you,

they'll get to your family.

I can't just walk away from this.

You're walking away

so I don't have to.

How can you trust him?

That relic in there

is looking for redemption.

I'm the only one

who can give it to him.

Then who gives it to you

when this is all over?

You need to cut me loose.

Tell them I escaped from custody,

whatever you have to.

Just use my history.

They'll believe you.

- I don't know.

- Ella, listen to me.

Sometimes the hardest thing...

...is to know which bridge to cross

and which to burn.

I'm the one you burn.

We've been waiting here

for an hour.

I'm sorry, Martin, but none of us

have been able to reach them.

Unfortunately, Mario and Enzo Calvini

are not known for their punctuality.

They do realize this is the closing?

Mr. White...

...I've been instructed to escort you

and your associates from the building.

Please gather your materials

and come with me.

- Instructed by whom?

- Please, if you could just comply.

Our father

never trusted these people.

Thank you for telling us the truth.

Had you not come forward...

...we would have made

a terrible mistake today.

I'm just glad I could be of service.

I don't know, Jonas. I was told nothing.

I was simply thrown out.

They know.

Look, I can't discuss this right now.

I'll call you when I'm in the air.

Welcome to World News.

I'm Tristana Moore.

We're live today in the

Democratic Republic of Niberia.

As we go on air, we're getting reports

that thousands of troops...

... loyal to General Charles Motomba's

Revolutionary Freedom Front...

... are moving towards

the capital of Dnu.

According to eyewitnesses,

several explosions have been heard...

... and there've been heavy outbreaks

of gunfire in many parts of the city.

The people of Niberia

have suffered greatly.

It is time to begin a new chapter

in our country's history.

We will not stop

until national liberation...

... and the restoration of nationhood...

News about Martin?

He didn't show up at his hotel

or at the airport.

The Italian police have been unable

to locate his car or driver.

I think Enzo and Mario Calvini

are sending us a message.

How could they possibly

have found out?

This is precisely

what we pay you to know.

We're out of time and options.

- We must make the deal with Sunay.

- How can we trust this man?

The Israeli government

is his biggest customer.

Why would he agree...

...to help us provide missiles

to the Iranians and the Syrians...

...that have a first-strike capability

against the Israelis?

I know Sunay.

I believe he has every intention...

...of selling you

the guidance systems...

...because he's already provided

the Israelis...

...with the countermeasures

to defeat them.

Would the Turk really play

such a dangerous game?

We are.

The only way we can make this work...

...is to guarantee...

...that Sunay keeps this information

in complete confidence.

If our buyers find out the missiles are

worthless, they'll pull all their orders...

...and this bank will be left insolvent.

Have him here

by tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow he's going to

a funeral service for his cousin.

He'll be unavailable till Monday.

Unless of course,

you'd be willing to attend.

Make the call.

Get me Ahmet Sunay.

It's tomorrow.

It's right there.

Do you want to be escorted?

We'll be fine, thank you.

The Sunay funeral, please.

It will be over soon.

You may wait here.

- Is there a bathroom I could use?

- Just over there.

- I won't be a moment.

- Right.

- The signal?

- Good.

The Sunay funeral, please.

- Where'd you put the spike?

- Inside the lapel of his jacket.

The lawyer?

White?

He's gone.

I told you, there will always

be collateral damage...

...when you take matters

into your own hands.

Your plan is working.

It has left Skarssen

with only one option.

Record the conversation

and you'll gain your end.

Sure they'll talk about Sunay's deal

with Israel and the countermeasures?

It is the key issue.

Once you let the Iranians

and Syrians...

...hear that the missiles are completely

useless against the Israelis...

...they will cancel their orders
