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.

I joined the company eight months ago.

She was here when I arrived,

She didn't talk to me so much,

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.

[SCOFFS]

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.

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

"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.

[SCOFFS]

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.

Six months?

That's a dead end.

It matched a type of soil called loam,

usually found at construction

all the choices I've made,

and it's gone in an instant.

My mom, she put me in piano classes

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.

When?

September.

bullying and harassment of young women.

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 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?

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.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

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...

I tried. I protected her

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.

[APPLAUSE]

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.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Did... did you know?

I did a little digging around.

Now without further ado,

we present "Die eifersuchtige Herrin."

[APPLAUSE]

It's part of my job.
