Hey, a shooter is at large in Brussels.

An attack on the Van den Driessche Research Park

left two scientists seriously injured

and one American killed.

Dr. Christopher Staton,

a molecular biologist who made a name for himself

as a PhD student at Stanford

as a pioneer in mRNA vaccine technology.

He'd been making advancements for years,

even before the current pandemic brought his work

to the forefront.

Dr. Staton moved to Belgium eight months ago

to collaborate with an international research group

to try to prepare for whatever mutation

of the virus might come next.

The entire team was present during the attack.

That's Luc Michaud in the middle.

- Do you know him? - I know of him.

Dr. Michaud has been the highest profile

health policy advisor to the EU throughout the pandemic.

He's basically Europe's version of Anthony Fauci.

Then he may have been the target.

It's possible.

Dr. Michaud's done a lot of good,

but he's a controversial figure.

He's never shied away from criticizing politicians

and even other scientists who disagree

with his recommendations.

So this could be a personal attack--

a disgruntled lab worker settling a score.

Or it could be a targeted political act,

with Michaud as the intended victim.

Then I say we hit it.

All right, Brussels is the de facto capital of the EU,

so Europol is gonna be all over this one.

We're gonna need Jaeger.

She's already on the ground and she's expecting us.

♪ ♪

Hey, I'd like you all to meet First Inspector Beckers,

Belgian Federal Police.

These are Agents Forrester, Kellett,

Raines, and Vo with the FBI.

Thank you for agreeing to work with us.

Well, I welcome any assistance

if it helps get this awful bastard.

I don't care for guns nor the cowards that use them.

The world is filling with trigger-happy idiots.

No offense to you, you Americans.

- None taken. - This way.

The lab is located on the second floor of building two.

We're still pulling ballistics, but the shots appear to have

been fired from the rooftop of building three next door.

I can't help but feel partially responsible.

Why is that?

Several months ago, Dr. Staton and Dr. Michaud,

they had reported to my department

that they had received death threats online.

Hateful messages, but nothing particularly specific,

so we were unable to take action.

We'd like to take a look at those reports.

Of course.

♪ ♪

Are we sure it's okay to be in here?

The scientists, they did a sweep

and made sure everything is safe.

Maybe don't touch your eyes or mouth.

How many shots were fired?

At least a dozen, but we're not sure we've found them all.

And nobody got a look at the shooter?

I'm afraid they were all too panicked.

You'd think if somebody wanted to shoot Dr. Staton,

there would've been an easier way to do it.

You think they were trying to send a message?

Maybe.

Looks like Dr. Michaud is back to work quickly.

He and his research assistants class

are helping us identify any biological hazards, so...

Gotcha.

We'd love to ask him a few questions,

when he has the chance.

Of course.

I've already told the police everything I can think of,

Honestly, I was just trying to protect my team.

We have worked long hours over a long time now.

We're more like a family, you know?

Have there been any rifts in that family

in the last few months?

Anybody you had to let go?

A relationship that went sour,

conflict over salaries

or promotions, that sort of thing?

You're looking for what, huh?

A disgruntled employee who came back to do this?

Anytime there's violence in a workplace,

it's an angle we consider. - No.

I hire the best.

I may have my enemies out in the world,

but any scientist who has worked here,

they understand the true value of what we're doing.

Why don't you tell us about those enemies?

Anytime I make an appearance on the television

recommending stricter prevention methods,

I am swarmed by harassment on the Internet.

If I am honest, I have probably done

more than my fair share of publicly mocking those people

that believe that they know more about

fighting a pandemic than the scientists.

And these online exchanges escalated

to threats of violence?

Yes.

From their side. - But you don't know

who owned the accounts making these threats?

I do not.

Sadly, for me and a lot of COVID scientists,

the threats are now so common

that they've become background noise.

I'd like access to your social media

and private messages so I can track down

the threatening accounts. - Please.

And when you are done, delete it all.

I hate myself for having stooped to their level.

If anything I said or did led to this happening...

Maybe in my outspoken ways,

I asked for this.

But Christopher, all he ever wanted to do

was tell the world the truth.

was up here like this.

He has a great view of the lab,

I agree.

Maybe a ricochet?

I think we should tell the evidence team

that they're searching in the wrong place.

Using the shell casing you found

the ballistics team has been able to determine

the shooter was likely using a DSR-1 sniper rifle

and military grade ammo.

Those are currently being used by

the Belgian armed forces.

We've been going down a list of the nearest bases

to see if all their guns can be accounted for.

- Any hits? - Just one.

Mertens-Lybaert Air Base,

near the border with the Netherlands.

We're waiting on confirmation,

and believe one could be missing.

It's worse than that.

Not only are they missing a rifle,

they're missing a sniper as well.

Corporal Patrick Jans failed to report to his post.

His whereabouts have been unknown

for approximately 48 hours.

He's a former sniper and ranger.

Jans was stationed here as a shooting instructor.

That sounds like our guy.

Reading his file, he served honorably for years

with a dozen successful missions

ranging from Kosovo to Iraq.

He was, at a time, a most valuable asset in any combat.

And now?

After a number of disciplinary actions,

Corporal Jans was recently demoted

and was given an administrative post.

He was made the company armorer.

♪ ♪

Does that mean what I think it does?

I regret to say, and for reasons I cannot explain,

he was put in charge of the weapons vault.

I don't want anyone touching anything.

What exactly is missing?

One sniper rifle, two 9 millimeter handguns,

and ten boxes of ammunition.

Yeah, and one launcher of rocket-propelled grenades.

And you didn't tell anyone Corporal Jans

walked away with all of this?

I was only made aware of this an hour ago myself.

We're still evaluating, but yes.

We have a credible threat

on your family and your husband's closest colleagues.

So we just stay here till you find the guy?

Hopefully, it'll only be a night or two.

The most important thing

is that our family is all together.

Help me to understand this, Lieutenant,

because I'm looking at this file

and all I see are red flags--

a history of physical altercations

with other soldiers, reprimands for racial slurs.

He uses images of liberal politicians

for target practice.

Now how do you see all this and not take any action whatsoever?

I took action.

I referred Corporal Jans to military intelligence,

and they flagged him as a Level 3

potential threat for terrorism.

Well, I think you can go ahead

and raise that to Level 4.

Given what we know now, obviously I would've

handled the situation differently.

- Really? - Yes, really.

Well, because it seems like

you only demoted Jans when you had no other choice.

Okay, okay.

We all know what we're up against now.

We're all on the same team.

What matters is that we find this guy, right?

Yes. Yes, I agree.

Look, I served, okay?

I know how a blind eye sometimes gets turned

to extremist politics in the armed forces.

I get it, it's an increasing problem everywhere.

Now if Patrick Jans' worldview didn't trouble

his fellow soldiers, maybe that's because

some of them agreed with him.

And if so, maybe he told them

what he was planning to do next.

Snipers often work in pairs.

Someone helps him identify targets,

watches their back.

Did he have anyone like that?

Yes, he did.

Follow me.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Corporal.

My orders are to answer your questions

fully and truthfully, sir.

And I intend to.

According to your Lieutenant,

Jans was training you. - Yes, ma'am.

I've learned a lot from him.

We arrived at the base together

and we've been friends ever since.

You had each other's back.

Always.

He confided in you?

- Sometimes. - Did he tell you

he was planning on robbing the weapons locker?

No, ma'am.

But you've heard him threaten violence.

He was my shooting instructor.

It comes up. - Did he ever mention

Luc Michaud or Christopher Staton?

Definitely Michaud.

He hated that guy.

I don't recognize the other one.

What did he say about Dr. Michaud?

The gist was that he would like him

to shut his fat mouth, ma'am--

Corporal.

You have to understand, Patrick chose this career

because he knows that freedom is something

worth fighting for.

Listening to the government, the so-called experts,

continually cower and surrender to a disease is infuriating.

If Corporal Jans really did what you say he did,

he's a disgrace to this uniform.

- If he did this? - That's right.

I don't think you're chasing the right guy.

Patrick is a soldier, not a killer.

So tell me where he is right now.

Help me bring him in. Maybe we can clear his name.

I don't know, but if he's really on the run,

he wouldn't trust me with this information.

In addition to the sniper rifle,

he took a grenade launcher.

With the launchers, he was strapped enough

to take out the entire lab.

He could cross Staton, Michaud,

Why try to pick them off one by one?

Maybe he likes working from the shadows.

conceal his position, so by the time anyone knows

Can't believe a student of mine would share

the same politics as Patrick Jans.

It wasn't about politics.

Once we learned his online alias,

we found dozens of posts advocating for

an alternate vaccine technology

called polymeric micro-needle arrays.

Yes.

Marc got very excited by that idea several years ago.

It was the basis of his doctoral thesis.

But Christopher and I took the team in another direction.

Well, apparently he couldn't let it go.

When he wasn't in the lab, he spent his time online

raging that the scientific "old guard"

needed to step aside.

When he found about Patrick Jans,

he saw an opportunity to get that revolution started.

All he had to do was reaffirm Jans' conspiracies

and let the soldier's anger and sense of victimhood

do the rest.

It's worse than a war on science.

It's deliberate disinformation being used as a weapon.

I can assure you, we will not be giving up.

My team and I, we will just have to work twice as hard.

But not just yet.

Come, come, my love.

Now, I'm going to tell all of these people...

- Excuse me. - How proud I am of you.

Papa, no.

It's okay.

Of course I'm glad no one else was killed,

but that was purely by luck.

You allowed Jans' accomplice to leave the safe house,

which put everyone at risk.

Katrin, I understand the desire to wipe the slate clean,

but it was your judgment

that put us here in the first place.

You approved the order.

At your recommendation.

What's going on here?

None of your concern.

A failure in your judgment that put both our jobs in jeopardy.

Oh, you cannot put that on her.

Scott, it's not necessary, really.

No, no.

Anyone would've made the same call.

At that point, she thought she was protecting Claes

and that was the mission-- we all did.

Trust me, Agent Forrester.

If I had the power to reprimand you

for this disaster as well, I would.

We neutralized the target

without any additional lives lost.

If you want to write us up for ignoring protocol, fine.

But you're the one who decided to move the scientist.

That is what got him shot.

Save your breath.

I've already spoken to the Executive Director.

It's done.

I've recommended Ms. Jaeger's immediate

and permanent removal.

You were never here to supervise me.

You came looking for a reason to fire me.

- Katrin, I'm-- - And when you couldn't

find one, you exaggerated the facts

in a way that's no different than what these

truth-averse fools are doing.

It may take a week or two

to work through the bureaucratic system,

but make no mistake.

You're fired.
