Morning.

Guten Morgen.

Ladies, out.

Nicolette, first position.

Come on, let's go.

I don't have all day here.

You have two hours.

First position.

Loosen up.

Tall, tall, tall, tall.

Nicolette, this is not what
we practiced the last time.

You stay tall. You
close the position.

You stay tall.

Again.

Yes, yes, and
close the position.

Close the legs.
Yes, and back to me.

And that's it.

Out and turn.

And head up. Yes.

And up.

No, Nicolette, I can't
lift you like this.

Okay, again.

Two, one, up.

That's it.

Again.

First position.

- I want to thank everyone
for coming tonight.

Dr. Yukovich, Liza Huber,

thank you for your
generous donations.

And to my Kaiserliche
ballet family,

you pushed to make
this production

the best we ever staged.

As we stand here today,
I want to remind everyone

that it will be Nicolette
Clark's first performance

as prima ballerina.

- The donors couldn't
express enough

how much they're thrilled
to see you dancing principal

for "Die eifersuchtige Herrin."

Hey.

Just three days to go.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

- Not everyone shares
your feelings, Yuri.

Not everyone can be you.

- People think the
role of Kerstin

belonged to someone else.

"Nicolette is a cheater.

She didn't earn it."

Forget them.

Hey, focus on the future.

- How can I, when these are
the people I dance with?

You earned the part

by proving yourself
worthy for the role, okay?

Don't let trolls and
jealous naysayers

destroy your moment.

From this point forward,

your focus is to prepare
for opening night.

Hey.

What's going on in there?

- So far, I've made
out Forrester saying,

"nothing will ever
be more important

than the case we're
about to receive."

- Really? You read lips?

- No. Wouldn't it be
smashing if I did?

- They've been in there
for about 20 minutes now.

- Where'd the call come from?
- The White House.

- Seriously?
- Seriously.

- It's not every day you get
a call from the first lady.

- FLOTUS, wow. What about?

- A rising U.S. ballerina,
Nicolette Clark,

had acid thrown in
her face yesterday.

She's being treated at
a local Vienna hospital.

Police found a partial
footprint next to her car,

and analysts are
working to ascertain

the height and weight
of the perpetrator

based on the size
of the impression.

- Any witnesses?
- She was found

by a fellow dancer who
heard Nicolette scream.

By the time she arrived,
the assailant was gone.

The Kaiserliche Theatre

is a top-five ballet
company in Europe.

Nicolette is one of
only four American women

in the last 20 years who
have placed at the company.

- Apparently, she just made
lead in the current production.

That's a first for an
American in Vienna.

An angry coworker?

Somebody who wasn't happy
with her getting the part?

Definitely a possible motive.

- FLOTUS is a fan and
a donor to the company.

She's taken an
interest in the case.

- In 2017, London experienced
a rash of acid attacks.

Young men and local street
gangs in East London

went after several
female targets.

Parliament contemplated banning

the sale of corrosive
liquids to minors

and overhauling the laws
around possession of acid.

What stopped the attacks?

- Aggressive
policing and arrests.

It was a copycat crime
that was on the verge

of getting really out of control

until law enforcement
put an end to it.

- All the more reason to
find the perpetrator on this

sooner than later.

- We're cleared with
the legat in Vienna.

Let's go.

Vo.

- This incident
has stunned Vienna.

I've never seen such
a horrific crime.

- How is she?
- Stable.

In recovery, but it's gonna
be a painful road ahead.

- Were you able
to speak with her?

- I'm still waiting for
clearance from her doctor.

You must be joking.

Why won't you let us in?

- I have to honor
the patient's wishes.

Dr. Lechner, Yuri, Alva,

they are Special
Agents Forrester and Vo

from the United States FBI,

assisting the
Bundespolizei on this case.

Yuri and Alva work for the
National Ballet of Vienna.

Nicolette refuses to see us?

- The patient suffered
second- and third-degree burns

along her cheek,
neck, ear, and hands.

If she refuses visitors,
we cannot be held...

- I am in a
relationship with her.

But you are not married.

Excuse me, Dr. Lechner.

I'm sorry.

I must attend to
another patient.

If you have
additional inquiries,

you may take them up with
hospital administration.

I've been here 12 hours.

I don't know if they're
even telling her

it's me trying to see her.

- You both work for
the ballet company?

- I'm the artistic
director of Kaiserliche,

Yuri Rasmanov.

Alva Boxler is on our
board of trustees.

- And you're dating Nicolette?
- Yes.

- Mr. Boxler, is there
anyone that you can think of

who might've
committed this attack?

This kind of crime suggests
that it was personal.

Like?

- Like an assailant
knew Nicolette.

Probably well.

No, I-I can't think of anyone
who'd want to hurt her.

- You?
- It's absurd.

She's a light on the stage

and a friend to
everyone she meets.

Forrester, I should probably

let everybody else
know what's going on.

Excuse me for a second.

- Look, if she was everything
that you say she was,

we wouldn't be here right now.

I know.

It's just crazy to think

one of our own
might've done this.

- Well, how about we take a seat

and talk this over some more?

Nicolette?

I'm Special Agent
Cameron Vo with the FBI.

We're assisting the
federal police in Vienna

investigating this
case because we...

I personally...

Want to bring this heinous
attacker to justice.

I didn't recognize him.

He was wearing a mask,

and it was just a dark
wall over his face.

And you're sure it was a man?

No.

Were you able to make out

his or her size, height, weight?

What's the point?

I'm sorry?

- What's the point in finding
out who did this to me

when my career is over?

They've already won.

- If you can think of
anything that might help,

just please let me know.

Kira Sokolov?

Yes?

- I'm Special Agent
Kellett with the FBI.

This is Field Officer
Garretson with Europol.

We're assisting
the Bundespolizei

and interviewing the company.

May we have a
moment of your time

and ask some questions?

Yes.

- How well did you
know Nicolette?

- I joined the company
eight months ago.

She was here when I arrived,
but we didn't, um...

She didn't talk to me so
much, though we were cordial.

Define "cordial."

What?

Did someone say I did this?

It wasn't me.

Yuri Rasmanov can confirm I
left early to get some rest.

How early?

7:00-something.

- We noticed you haven't
been to the hospital yet.

Why would I?

- To visit your fellow dancer
who was assaulted yesterday.

You will not understand this

because you do not
understand ballet,

but when a dancer is injured,

everyone in the company
must be prepared

to step in at a moment's notice.

- Not injured. Assaulted.

- Okay, so we're
playing word games now?

- So that's why you're
here practicing?

You're preparing to step in?

Yes.

I'm her understudy.

Americans are emotional.

I say this to tell you it is
different where I come from.

We are not, um, happy people.

In Russia,

it took me three years to
rise within the Moscow Ballet.

I danced and danced,

but still, this is
a political game.

What do you mean?

Earlier in my career,

different directors would offer
principal roles in productions.

In exchange,

dancers would pay hundreds
and thousands of rubles.

I refuse.

If I'm named principal,
I will have earned it.

- Are you saying Nicolette
paid for her spot?

- This note along with a
dozen roses burnt at the tips

was found in Nicolette's
dressing room.

"Little fat girl"?

- Dancers call each other
fat to hit where it hurts.

- Do you recognize
the handwriting?

- The flowers were from me, yes,

but a method I use to
help dancers excel.

You mean harass them.

- The symbolism
behind the flowers

translates to someone who
has set her soul afire.

Nicolette did just that.

- You've had complaints
against you within the company

for your methods.

- You don't sound
like a motivator.

You sound like a bully.

- In this production,
Nicolette outperformed

every member of the company.

The note was a means

to ensure she stayed fit

and continued
exercising discipline.

Real generous of you.

- I admit the accusations
about my behavior are true,

but ruining a woman's career

by taking away her
beauty is gruesome.

I was her partner.

Who's to say I won't
be attacked next?

Have you been threatened?

Not overtly.

But I see their eyes,

watching me,

wanting to be me.

- Stay close in case
we have more questions.

Where would I go?

Opening night is in
less than a week.

So what do you think?

I'm not sure yet.

- Any luck?
- Not much.

Should we head
back to the office?

Uh, just give me a minute.

Megan Garretson of Europol.

Piotr Efremov of...

some nebulous capacity within
the Russian government.

"Diplomat" will suffice.

I understand you would like

to interview one of our
Russian dancers, Kira Sokolov.

- No, not "would like
to." Already did.

- Oh, I hope she
was accommodating.

What's your interest?

Well, my interest is that

one of my colleagues
in the Kremlin

is very protective
of Kira Sokolov.

- In a purely professional
manner, I'm assuming.

- There's some other news
that might interest you.

Oh, a little tit for tat?

What is the expression?

Go on.

- There's a Russian
detainee, Vladislav Pavlovic.

- Scott Forrester had a
run-in with his brother.

- I think your colleague
would like to know

that justice has been served.

Vladislav is getting
six months in a gulag

for his crimes
against the state.

Six months?

I've heard of plenty of men
who have crossed the Kremlin

and ended up in
far worse straits.

- Well, that sentence
could be extended if...

- If we leave your
Russian ballerina

out of our investigation.

Tit for tat.

- I never knew the ballet
world could be so nasty.

- Whoever did this
ruined her life.

- Forensics found the acid
type used in the attack.

Sulfuric trioxide.

A concentrated chemical found
in normal household items

like drain cleaner
and bleach spray.

That's a dead end.

Any news on the
partial footprint?

- Actually, the shoe
that made the print

transferred dirt to the surface.

It matched a type
of soil called loam,

usually found at
construction sites

to create balanced foundations.

I made a list of local sites

to see if they can be linked
to anybody within the theatre.

- Okay. Any CCTV footage
anywhere near the incident?

- Not yet. Bundespolizei
are canvassing.

Forrester.

Okay.

I'll let her know.

That was the hospital.

Nicolette's asking for you.

The mask,

it wasn't something I'd
seen before at the ballet.

Okay.

- I think it was a
man, but I'm not sure.

That's good.

Is there anything else?

I've just been sitting here,

thinking about all
the hours I've spent,

all the choices I've made,

the things I've
given up to dance,

and it's gone in an instant.

- My mom, she put
me in piano classes

when I was eight.

From fumbling with simple chords

to playing Mozart's
"Rondo Alla Turca" by ten.

And I fell in love.

By senior year,

acceptance letters from
Berklee School of Music

and Julliard came.

My parents saw
value in the arts,

but not as a career.

And they chose
West Point for me.

We don't always get to pursue
the gifts we're born with.

But I excelled in the army.

And when the Bureau
came calling,

I chose a new path.

It's one where I
get to help people.

And I don't regret
it for a minute.

I'll check in on you
later, Nicolette.

Wait.

You can come closer.

Please find out
who did this to me.

- I bumped into someone earlier.

Piotr Efremov.

- The Russian middleman
guy. He's a complete snake.

- He's in Vienna,
keeping tabs on a dancer,

but he also mentioned
Vladislav Pavlovic.

You killed his
brother in Croatia.

I remember.

- Reportedly, he
went rogue after that

because he wants you dead.

He was sentenced in Russia
for crimes against the state.

Okay.

- Piotr says he's
getting six months.

- And he wants to
make a deal with you.

- Most likely.
- Tell him to kick rocks.

I hesitate to tell you this,

but you deserve more
cards on the table.

Lay them out.

- Europol received intel that
Vladislav was in Budapest

when the Russians picked him up.

When?

September.

We think he was hunting you.

I'd like to see what
Piotr's offer is.

It might be worth it if it means

that we can put
Vlad away for good.

- But dealing with
a guy like Piotr,

there is always a price
to pay at the end...

One that is way more costly
than you thought going in.

Together.

You're late, Kira.

There are no breaks until
every dancer hits their marks.

Continue with the eight
count. Clean it up.

- We still need to
speak with the dancers.

We're in rehearsal.

The show is still going forward.

Kira's playing the lead?

- As Nicolette's
understudy, yes, she is.

We only have one
day to rehearse.

- Okay, well, tell us about
Konstantin, your male lead.

What about him?

- We've heard troubling reports.

One half of my job is

to protect the
dancers from wolves.

The other is being the
barrier between the dancers

and everyone else
to get the job done.

- So you run a
company that fosters

bullying and harassment
of young women.

- I know you don't
understand this world,

so I will say this.

- "Ballet is a
jealous mistress."

- Besides, continuing
with the production

was not my choice alone.

The board of trustees understood

there's still donors to please
and doors to be kept open.

Nicolette's boyfriend, Alva,

he a part of that vote?

- He was the one
who insisted on it.

- Well, you better hope it
doesn't put another dancer

in danger.

Of course.

- Raines, I want you and Vo
to check someone out for me.

- Why'd the board vote
to continue the show?

- I have to make
difficult decisions

regardless of
horrible circumstances

that have affected
my personal life.

Your personal life?

- You don't think Nicolette's
injury has affected me?

- I'm broken.
- You don't look broken.

You look like business as usual.

- The world continues,
even after tragedy.

It is the theme of
every great performance.

- Your girlfriend is
lying in the hospital,

waiting to have a
piece of her forearm

transplanted to her face,

and you're worried
about the show going on?

- But she doesn't
want to see me!

She said so!

I'm supposed to curl
up in a ball now?

No, I have responsibilities!

Forgive me.

- I understand
you have two jobs:

board member of the ballet

and chief interior officer
of the Austrian Parliament.

What drew you to
the ballet company?

- Kaiserliche is a
national treasure

but an expensive one.

I've gladly done my
part to keep it afloat.

That how you met Nicolette?

- When I first saw her,
it was from the third row.

She was like an
angel on the stage.

And I admired her passion.

She saw me at a fundraiser

and asked me for a date.

We heard a few of the dancers

didn't welcome
your relationship.

No, I want this clear.

Nicolette earned the
principal role on her own

with her talent.

She spent every waking hour

rehearsing and
practicing for the part.

- So not enough time
being your girlfriend?

- You're wagging your
finger at the one person

most responsible for keeping
that company in business

and the last person on Earth

who would want to
harm Nicolette,

so although it may be giving you

some personal
satisfaction to do so,

perhaps you'd be better served

continuing your
investigation elsewhere.

Don't go anywhere.

I wanna ask you
about Alva Boxler.

- Okay, but I broke up with him.

What?

- Two weeks ago, I couldn't
handle his secrets anymore.

How did he take it?

Not well.

Meaning?

He was very angry.

But he's not...

Look, it wasn't him.

I would've recognized his voice.

- Did anybody else
know about your split?

- No, he asked me
not to say anything

until after the performance.

Did he threaten you?

- I don't...
- Please.

Do not protect him.

- He said if I
left, I'd be sorry.

- I looked into Alva
Boxler and discovered

Europol's been keeping
tabs on him for years.

He's connected to
several well-known

underworld criminals.

Alva Boxler's
predecessor, Felix Egger,

was part of the
Austrian Parliament

and chief interior
officer for a decade,

the position that
Alva holds now.

A year ago, Felix
was caught on camera

attempting to accept bribes
from an account well-associated

with the biggest crime
family in Austria.

- He went to jail,
but he had a firewall

between himself and his client.

The criminals bribing Eggers

expect the same
favors from Alva.

- Is Alva lining his pockets
too, like his predecessor,

or did he refuse to accept them?

- And was Nicolette
collateral damage?

I never threatened her.

- "If you break up with
me, you'll be sorry."

That's pep talk?

- I was hurt. I was petulant.

And I meant she'd be sorry

because she'd never meet
someone like me again.

I did not mean she'd be sorry

because one day I'd
throw acid in her face.

This is absurd!

- Europol has an open
investigation on you.

Taking bribes like your
predecessor, Felix Egger.

- Appearing to take bribes
like my predecessor.

- You've got a line of BS
for everything, don't you?

- I swear on my
life, I'm not dirty.

- Uh-huh.

- On the outside, I present
myself as open for business

like my predecessor.

Secretly, however,

I have been working with
the justice ministry

to expose the very people
from whom Felix took bribes.

- An undercover operation?
- Correct.

You can check with the
chancellor himself.

- Bundespolizei...
- Are not in the loop.

- Why would you withhold
this information from us?

- It's an ongoing investigation.

Because of the sensitivity
and secrecy of the case,

only my superior and the
justice ministry know about it.

You're law enforcement.

I'm assuming you understand

the concept of need-to-know.

- So you were keeping
things from Nicolette,

which she picked up on,

and ended your
relationship because of it.

Finally, you understand.

- Who are you taking money from?

- Anybody who offers it.
- We'll need proof.

- If the chancellor's
office agrees,

you can examine all the records.

You wanted to chat?

So we're in agreement.

Vladislav Pavlovic deserves

more than a couple
of months in jail.

Perhaps.

I'm done playing footsie.

We'll make sure we treat
Kira Sokolov fairly if you...

- There's a Russian
detainee, Grigoriy Andreev,

being held for arms
dealing by Europol.

Now we get to it.

- Grigoriy has two years
left of his sentence.

Maybe we can make a trade.

I play squash with the judge

presiding over Vladislav
Pavlovic's case.

I'm sure I'll be
able to convince him

to add some years
to his sentence.

How about 50?

If Grigoriy gets released...

I can commit to that.

Did you talk to Piotr?

I did.

- Well, what's he
looking to gain?

'Cause I know this is
not about some dancer.

- Just let me check
on a few things,

and I'll report to you as soon
as I know all the chess pieces.

- Yeah, okay. Thank
you so much, Jay.

I appreciate it.

That was Jay
Ackerman from State.

Alva was telling the truth.

The Austrian Justice Ministry
sent us their reports.

- All right, anything?
- Yep.

Alva's received plenty
of offers, threats,

and attempts to shake him down,

but one jumps out.

Leon Oliver.

There's emails and
threats from this man

because Alva would
not take bribes

and grant construction
contracts like his predecessor.

Then two days ago, Leon's
communication with him

just stopped abruptly.

- Same day Nicolette
was attacked.

- Leon Oliver, an
Austrian trade union boss

with links to organized crime.

Apparently known for using funds

to pay debts and
line his own pockets.

Charged two years ago in
a pay-for-play scandal

involving permits for
his two dig sites.

And when Leon went to
court, the charges were

mysteriously dropped
due to lack of evidence

and witnesses recanting
their testimony.

- Any links to him
owning or working

at a construction
company or site?

Working on it.

- Leon doesn't get what
he wants from Alva,

so he attacks Nicolette
as retribution?

- Leon had an
ongoing relationship

with my predecessor

and tried to keep the
bribery going with me

when I was elected into office.

I played it up as I wouldn't
get into business with him

unless he increased the money.

Did he make any threats?

They all make threats.

- Your last interaction
with him was...

- I told him, "No
deal. Get lost."

Oh, God, did...

Did he know I was
dating Nicolette?

I tried. I protected
her from all of that.

We got an address.

- Leon Oliver, if you're...

Hey, were you hit?

I'm good.

- We're putting up barricades
in the surrounding area.

He won't get far.

Let's clear the house.

Clear!

Clear!

Out here!

I think we found our weapon.

- There's bleach and hydrogen
peroxide in the basement.

- Along with all this,
you can make an IED.

- You think Leon is planning
something worse for Alva?

- He threw acid
in a woman's face.

I think he's
capable of anything.

- Local police found Leon's car
in an abandoned yard torched.

- If he's on foot,
we'll catch him.

- We're filing an
Interpol Red Notice

to keep him from
crossing the border.

I'm pinging any known numbers

Leon's using for
geolocational data.

- And we need to look at his
friends, neighbors, contacts...

Anyone that he could
go to for refuge.

- I made a short list
of Leon's businesses.

Check this out.

There's a construction
site in Gerasdorf,

the northern part of Vienna.

It's just outside the city.

- But the business doesn't
have Leon listed as an owner.

- Leon's brother oversees
it: Simon Oliver.

- Ah, good work.
Kellett, with me.

You speak English?

- When's the last time you
heard from your brother?

- That narr's been
missing for days.

He left me with
all this paperwork,

and I'm supposed to be his boss.

- When was the last
time you spoke to him?

About a week ago.

- Did he drop anything off
the last time he was here?

- Like I said, I
haven't spoke...

- Because there
are bags of sulfur

sitting in the corner
of your office...

One of the things we
found at Leon's house

that can be used to
make sulfuric acid.

- No, no, no, that sulfur, we
use for the construction...

- Scott!
- I haven't seen my brother.

Simon, listen to me closely.

Your brother threw acid in
an American dancer's face.

He hit a local cop with his car.

He is going away for
a very long time.

And I don't think that you
wanna go down with him,

so this is your
last chance to help!

We need backup!

Leon Oliver is in
a black Audi Coupe

headed towards Friedensbrucke.

- Kellett, I'm headed
right towards you.

- You're cutting it close.
- Get ready.

Get out of the car, Leon!

Hands where we can see them!

Don't.

FLOTUS just called...

to commend us.

- And somehow, I've yet
to hear from King Charles.

- Yeah, well, maybe he's
not a fan of ballet.

Hey.

Thank you for all your help.

I hope this brings some closure
for your American dancer,

knowing that it had nothing
to do with her company.

I hope so too.

- Are y'all coming
to the opening?

- Ah, we don't have
tickets unfortunately.

Yuri personally sent
these over for tonight.

That's very kind,

but the Bureau has
stringent anti-graft rules,

so unable to accept.

- Oh, those rules are not
so stringent here in Vienna.

I know a couple of officers
who would love to go.

Maybe next time we can meet
under better circumstances.

Until then.

- Anti-graft?
- Yeah.

I've seen enough ballet
over the past two days

to hold me over for a while.

We're out of here.

Agent Garretson.

You're slightly underdressed
for opening night,

if I'm being honest.

- Here to make a deal, actually.

Wonderful.

Any movement on
Grigoriy Andreev?

None.

Zero.

He's not going anywhere.

Lovely seeing you.

Take care.

- However, I thought
this may concern you,

which is why I rushed over.

Your friend's mistress...

I mean, prot g, Kira...

She's about to get bumped

from her prima ballerina
position tonight.

- Not possible.
- Oh.

It's happening, Piotr.

I don't profess to
know the inner workings

of the ballet company,
but it's fickle.

I know that.

And yes, they've decided to go

with another dancer
for the lead.

They're moving Kira to
the back of the stage,

and I believe she's performing
the role of Tree Number Two.

As it turns out, the, um...

The board of trustees
owes us a big favor, so...

I have some pull there

to try and reverse this
terrible injustice.

That's your offer?

Vlad gets 50 years.

Kira stays prima ballerina

for the remainder of
the production dates.

You better be quick,
though, 'cause, um,

curtains open in ten minutes.

Stand by.

- Wonderful news.
- That was quick.

The judge has reconsidered.

Vlad is getting 50 years.

Please let Agent Forrester know.

I would imagine it would come
as a huge relief for him.

I will.

And please congratulate Kira.

Would've been a shame
to see her become,

you know, shrubbery.

Very good.

Hmm.

From Alva

with a two-page apology
and explanation.

Who knows?

It's opening night.

It certainly is.

How are you feeling?

- Part of me wishes the
whole world would shut down

because of what happened,

but that's selfish.

If anything, I-I wish there
was a way I could attend.

Yeah, about that...

Since you aren't able
to be there in person,

the company set up a live stream

for you to watch the show.

I hope it's okay.

I wanna see it.

Thank you.

Did your parents
really force you

to attend West Point
and not Julliard?

They did.

And I was angry at
the time, of course.

But now, I look back

and I think it was the best
thing that could've happened.

I just knew that deep down

there were new
adventures ahead...

New things to fall in love with.

You'll find them too.

- I wanna thank
you all for coming.

A brief announcement
before we begin.

On behalf of the
Kaiserliche Theatre,

we hope that when
Nicolette recovers,

she will accept the position

as the company's new
resident choreographer.

- Did... did you know?

- I did a little digging around.

Now without further ado,

we present "Die
eifersuchtige Herrin."

It's part of my job.
