- 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,

which is frustratingly little.

- We know
it's been a terrible day,

but the more perspectives
we get,

the better chance we have
of figuring out who did this.

- I understand.

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.

Some ignorant people,
apparently...

would rather
shoot the messenger.

He has a great view
of the lab,

It seems too steep for where
some of the bullets landed.

- Using the shell casing
you found

and bullet fragments
at the scene,

the ballistics team has

the shooter was likely using
a DSR-1 sniper rifle

and military grade ammo.

- Those are
currently being used by

the Belgian armed forces.

Mertens-Lybaert Air Base,

near the border
with the Netherlands.

We're waiting on confirmation,

but they train
with that same weapon

one could be missing.

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?

of disciplinary actions,

Corporal Jans

- One sniper rifle,
two 9 millimeter handguns,

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.

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?

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

Patrick is a soldier,
not a killer.

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.

He knows it would be my duty
to tell people like you.

- Nice work.
- Thanks.

But here's what doesn't add up.

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,

and half his list off
in a single shot.

Why try to pick them off
one by one?

- Maybe he likes
working from the shadows.

The rifle lets him
fire from longer range,

conceal his position,
so by the time anyone knows

what's happening,
he's long gone.

He lost his way.

- So much for
tracking him with this.

- At this distance, he'd have
to be somewhere with height.

- Agreed.

What about those rooftops?
- Hmm.

- It's Jaeger.
Hey, we're still clearing.

- Okay, I'll be right there.

Smit relieved Jaeger

- Agent Forrester.

- You dismissed Katrin Jaeger

in the middle
of an active investigation?

- She compromised
this location.

I put it upon myself
to arrange a new one

with the Federal Police.

The longer Michaud's
family stays here,

the more danger we put them in.
- It's not safe?

- Everything
is going to be okay.

- Look at them,
they are terrified.

- None of the options are good,

but we found
the shooter's campsite.

He's most likely
still in that area.

The best time to move is now.

- You're making a mistake.

- Hunkering down
isn't any safer.

Your American scientist
was shot from half a mile away.

It didn't matter
that he was indoors.

This is the only place
Jans knows to look for them.

They're safer
anywhere but here.

I want to cover the family
as you transfer them.

Get in, get in.

No calling for your friends.

Okay.

Let's just talk.

have to go like this...

There is no way out.

- The doctors are very good.

They tell me I'm going
to make a full recovery.

I plan to hold them to it.

- He'll be back in the lab
before you know it.

- That's a relief for us all.

- I have the miracle
of modern medicine to thank.

I got to wake up
from this nightmare

with my family at my side.

Breaks my heart Christopher
couldn't say the same.

- I suspect
the scientific community

is going to feel that loss
for a very long time.

- Yes.

And Marc Claes as well.

Brilliant young man.

I was shocked to find out
that he was involved.

- So were we.

- 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.
