The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court Page #7

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

and the IBBC will collapse.

- Wilhelm.

- Ahmet.

It's been a long time.

Yes.

My sympathies for the loss

of your cousin.

Thank you.

Jonas Skarssen, Ahmet Sunay.

If you'd simply come to me in the

beginning, it would have been better.

Midday prayers will begin soon.

Should take a short time

to settle on the broad strokes.

The rest can be sorted out

at your leisure.

We have 10 minutes.

Wilhelm, would you mind

if I spoke to Mr. Sunay alone?

I believe I understand

the particulars of your situation.

Perhaps we should discuss this

in a more private place.

Yes, of course.

Allow me to show you something

very special.

Something that very few outsiders

know exists.

It's my understanding that the product

you purchased are the XW-41 s.

After you.

Yes. Forty-two hundred units.

What kind of guidance

are they currently equipped...?

They all need to be upgraded

with VOLCON systems.

Launch platforms?

Ground-based vehicles

and fixed-wing aircraft.

So you understand

I have a terminal deadline.

First of February, yes.

- Can you meet it?

- To be sure.

But you must arrange for the

end-user certificates, transport...

We'll arrange for it all.

Where would the work be done?

Cyprus. I've a facility there.

We would start retrofitting the worms

within a day of their arrival.

So if you deliver them to me

within the next two weeks...

... we'll meet your deadline.

I'm concerned that we limit any and all

knowledge of your involvement.

If we structure my involvement

through a thick veil of shells...

... I don't foresee any complications.

- Sorry?

- You. Come here now.

Usually we would involve

our import partners from Russia.

What? I'm just a tourist.

- Now, you must leave.

- Could you get that light out of...?

Get your f***ing...

So, shall we discuss numbers?

There is a more salient deal point...

...that needs to be resolved

before we can do that.

And what point is that?

The point of fidelity.

I know you provided

the Israeli government...

...with the countermeasures

to this guidance system.

Last year alone...

...I did more than 300 million

in business with the Israelis.

I would never put that at risk.

How can I trust you not to divulge

this information to anyone else?

It's mutual interest, not trust...

...that will be the bond

of our relationship.

Your compensation will be held

in an escrow account.

- released until our clients pay

in full.

And those are the terms.

The payout structure...

The transfers will be begun

by tomorrow morning.

Ehames will contact you with

the number for the escrow account.

So ends the bloody business

of the day.

We're closed. I need you and Ehames

here tomorrow...

...to work out all the details

with Sunay's people.

Yes. We're on our way home.

Wilhelm?

Wake up.

Who are you?

I'm Louis Salinger.

You don't have the authority

to arrest me.

Who said anything

about arresting you?

- What do you want?

- I want some f***ing justice.

Wait, wait. Wait.

Executing me won't change anything.

There will be 100 other bankers

to take my place.

Everything will continue.

The only thing you'll succeed in doing

is to satisfy your own blood lust.

And you know it.

With compliments of Enzo

and Mario Calvini.

Thank you.
