Dispatch received a call about a crime.

Yes, that was me.

What's your name?

Ali Baker.

What happened?

Last night, I went out
in Old Town with some people

staying at the hostel.

I got really dizzy, felt sick,

and then everything went black,

and I woke up here in bed.

I think I was raped.

You think or you know?

I know.

How many bars did you go to?

Just one, Club Vinyl.

How many drinks did you have?

One at the hostel, maybe
three or four at the club.

I think I need to do a rape kit, right?

Five drinks?

That will put a girl your
size under the table.

Did you take any drugs?

Ecstasy, ketamine, M-CAT?

No, I don't do drugs.

Did someone force you to have sex?

I mean, I was roofied.

By who?

I don't know.

That's because you were intoxicated.

This wasn't consensual.

That's why I called the police.

Just so you're aware,
it's illegal to make

a false report.

I was raped.

Did you fight back?

What the hell does that mean?

We need proof you were forced.

Oh.

Is that fighting back?

Is that good enough?

- Turn around.
- What are you doing?

Hands behind your back.

This is insane.

Call the cops.

American cops.

- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -

So we caught a case?

Yeah, a complicated one.

I understand that you volunteered

for the Sexual Assault
Prevention and Response

- in the army?
- Yeah, that's right.

This morning,
a 23-year-old American traveler

was detained in Prague for assault.

This is Ali Baker,

Colorado resident currently
residing in Poland

teaching English on a student visa.

Now, she claims that she was raped

in a youth hostel last night.

If she was raped, why was she arrested?

Well, that's the complicated part.

Not sure the sequence of events here.

Rape cases are prosecuted locally,

so why are we being brought in?

The U.S. ambassador has
requested our involvement.

State Department has been cracking down

on the Czech government,
wanting them to hold people

accountable for sex crimes.

Well, I'm still unclear.

Why was the victim arrested for assault?

That's a question for the local cops.

Well, most countries in the EU

are 20 years behind the times
when it comes to rape laws,

so we are gonna have to
navigate a lot of red tape.

Well, that's why I asked you

about your experience
as a victim advocate.

Look, I know that people
who have spent time

helping survivors aren't,
you know, in a rush

to revisit these things.

Good thing my time in SAPR
was probably one of the most

rewarding jobs I've ever had.

I was hoping you would say that.

I want you to run point on this.

We're going back to Prague.

Detective Novak has been
assigned to the case.

- All right.
- All right.

Agent Forrester, it's been a while.

I always find that to be a good thing.

- Remember Agent Vo?
- Of course.

The pornography case.

Agent Forrester told me
you took over Kellett's role

as primary relief supervisor.

Gratuluji.

I knew you'd move up soon.

Dekuju.

I'm still getting up to speed
on the investigation.

I was assigned to the case when my boss

was notified of your arrival.

Oh, well, we appreciate your help,

but we're still a little confused

as to why a rape victim was detained

as opposed to the assailant.

Anyone who throws
an object at a police officer

with intent to harm will be charged

with aggravated assault.

Was Ali given a sexual
assault forensic exam

prior to her arrest?

It wasn't necessary.

It wasn't necessary?

DNA evidence has to be
recovered from a victim's body

within 72 hours.

The responding officer
said Miss Baker admitted

to partying excessively at Club Vinyl,

which has a reputation
for this sort of thing.

Reputation for women partying
or women being raped?

The first one.

The department's dealt
with hundreds of these girls,

usually American, sad to say.

Plus, the legal definition
of rape in the Czech Republic

requires force or threats of violence,

which are not present in this case.

She is claiming she was raped.

Absence of consent should be enough.

I understand you came all this way,

so I will do you a favor.

We'll drop the assault
charges if Miss Baker

leaves the country.

No, none of us are leaving
until we investigate.

We're all on the same team, Marta.

No one wants a rapist
walking around scot-free.

If indeed that's what happened.

So let us talk to Ali.

And in the meantime,
could you ask your boss

to drop the charges
as a courtesy to the FBI?

Of course.

Thank you.

I wanted to do something meaningful,

so I took a year off school
to teach English.

The program only pays $600 a month.

I can't afford a lawyer.

How often do you travel
solo to other countries?

Almost every weekend.

I stay at budget hostels to save money.

Did the police ever ask you
for the suspect's description?

All they did was blame me,
on the worst day of my life.

I did not come to the
Czech Republic to party.

That is not my thing.

People from the hostel
talked me into going.

I am really sorry, Ali,
and it is not okay

that this happened to you.

Have you reached out to your parents?

Not yet.

My dad didn't want me going to Europe

by myself in the first place.

Look, I know this is
very painful for you,

but your help could be essential

to catching this guy.

Can you describe him?

I... I don't remember.

I'm guessing someone from the club

slipped something into my drink,

or maybe it was someone from the hostel.

How many men were in your group?

Maybe six.

A few guys were buying rounds.

They all seemed very
normal and friendly.

Okay, I'm gonna need the clothes

that you wore to the club. Is that okay?

I, um...

I woke up naked under
my sheets in the dorm bed.

When I went to go look for my
things, everything was gone.

Yeah, he probably didn't
wanna leave any DNA behind.

Look, I'm not gonna make
you say anything

that makes you feel uncomfortable,

so if you prefer, you can just
write down a statement

on any details you can remember.

Do you know why they call
Prague the Golden City?

Mm-mm.

Because all of the buildings
shimmer like gold at sunset.

And all I wanted to do was see the view

of Prague Castle from Charles Bridge,

maybe send a picture back home.

But now...

Hey.

Look, I am not going anywhere,

and my team is gonna see
this through the right way.

They're letting Ali off with a warning.

How kind.

How's she doing?

Isolated, angry, everything you'd expect

after being tossed in a cell
for your own rape.

All right, well, sit with her

during the forensic examination.

She's gonna need your support.

Raines and Smitty are
already at the hostel.

Have you tracked down the police report?

It was of Ali's assault
of the police officer,

not the rape.

Some ass-backwards policing around here.

Cam.

I get it, but you are my number two now,

and we are here at Novak's discretion.

If you push too hard,
we could get the boot.

All right.

Most guests checked out this morning

when they heard what happened.

- Security cameras?
- Sure.

Do they work? No.

Look, we're a budget hostel.

We can't even get the owner
to replace the coffee machine.

It's ridiculous.

Is there a guest list?

We have a sign-in sheet.

Guest list.

Travelers leave their name
and their passport number

- when they check in.
- Phone numbers?

It's too complicated to get a hold

of international travelers.

How does one reserve a bed?

Book online or walk through the door.

Cash, card, we accept
everything apart from Amex.

Anyone see Ali return from the club?

Staff members leave at 10:00 p.m.,

but I did overhear a conversation.

One of the guys who stayed in her room

mentioned that she was asleep alone

when he came back from Club Vinyl.

He mention a time?

It must have been around
4:00 a.m. when the club closes.

Can you take us to the room?

So Ali was assigned Bunk D.

There you go.

The room was flipped?

Well, our dorms are booked
solid on a Saturday night.

One of your travelers was raped.

I'm talking to you
because I'm a nice guy.

You're not even cops in this
city, so thank you very much.

I'm done here. That's it.

Dude has a very punchable face.

Without Ali's sheets, we're looking

at a Petri dish of DNA.

Question is whether the
rapist was counting on that.

I figure he locked the room to make sure

no one came in during the assault.

You recognize the word Waars?

W-A-A-R-S?

Nothing comes up.

Bag it.

Emergency contraception
is more effective

the sooner it's taken,
but it's your choice.

I don't regret it, throwing the bottle.

I can't believe they asked
me if I fought back.

Well, they're dealing
with outdated laws here.

Have you heard of Denim Day?

Well, this Italian judge
overturned a rape conviction

because the victim
was wearing tight jeans,

and the defense argued
that it was only possible

to remove them
if she helped the attacker,

which implied consent.

They called it the jeans alibi.

But women in the Italian parliament,

they protested by wearing jeans to work.

So you are not alone, Ali.

I need to run a blood test for STIs.

Is that okay?

I'll let you know as soon
as the results come in.

Hey.

Fire Starter.

Someone gave me that drink at the club.

I'd never had one before.

It had vodka and gin and cola.

It was really strong.

It's the last thing I remember.

Who gave it to you?

I don't know.

Have the results come in
from Ali's rape kit?

Yes... we're building a profile
based on the suspect's MO.

There's trauma to the genital area,

minor bruising on her inner thighs.

The victim reported
symptoms of roofies...

blackouts, amnesia, and extreme sedation

when mixed with alcohol.

Traces of latex were found
during her pelvic exam,

indicating the assailant used a condom,

- DNA?
- Negative.

The plastic Raines found
under Ali's bunk

was a part of a condom wrapper.

No prints or DNA.

Now, the letters, W-A-A-R-S,

are part of the Dutch word waarschuwing,

which means "warning".

We're not sure if it was there
the night of the assault

or if it had been there for two weeks.

Add it to the profile.

I combed through
the hostel's guest list,

found a name with a
fudged passport number.

Alex Miller, likely an alias.

Paid in cash.

The rapist knew about
the security camera,

knew about the lock.

It's possible he was stalking
the hostel and not the victim.

The perfect hunting ground.

Any leads from the guests

who stayed at the hostel last night?

I'm checking Ali's social media

to see if she received
any friend requests

within the past 48 hours.

Oh, wow.

Ali put the Czech cops on blast.

- Her post went viral.
- What's it say?

The caption reads, "Rape
culture in the Czech Republic

sounds like this. 'How many
drinks did you have?

Did you take drugs? Did you fight back?'

Reported my rape, got arrested.

#ChangeRapeLaws".

What?

That's not gonna go over well.

Well, based on the details
in the suspect's profile,

I doubt this is an isolated incident.

Can you believe this?

What the hell is going on?

Miss Baker made a very public post

targeting the arresting officers.

That's cyber harassment.

My boss is moving forward
with the assault charges.

Since when did the Czech Republic

start muzzling free speech?

Her post was meant to incite violence.

You can talk to her after she's
arraigned on Monday morning.

- I don't know...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Cam, take a minute.

Marta.

I have to explain this to you.

The laws are laws.

All right, what if she takes it down?

I might be able to sell it upstairs

if it happens in the next two minutes.

Okay, two minutes. I'll be right back.

Hey.

Is that what you're really gonna do?

Her only recourse?

I made you point on this
for your expertise,

not because I need you
to bring the hammer down

on local police.

I can do that all by my damn self.

Now, go take a walk.

Hi.

Ali, I'm Special Agent Scott Forrester.

I'm with the FBI.

So I read your social media post,

and I couldn't agree more.

When I woke up this morning, my life

was just turned upside down.

I kept reading survivors
can use their voices to heal,

share their stories and raise awareness,

so I decided to share my story.

And no surprise, look what happened.

Ali, I support you, but they don't.

So unfortunately, you
have two options here.

If you keep the post up,
they're gonna charge you

with aggravated assault,

and they're gonna make
you leave this country.

And if you take it down,
they will drop the charges,

and we can continue to investigate.

So let me get this straight.

I report a sexual assault,

and the police arrest me twice

- and then bully me into silence?
- I know.

It isn't right.

But I'm here to bring you justice,

to catch this guy before
he does it to someone else.

And look, I've worked with the
international law enforcement

for a very long time, Ali.
They're not bluffing.

They will absolutely go forward
with these charges.

No one's here to force you, okay?

This is your choice.

She'll take it down.

Okay.

Ali did the right thing, okay?

- If she had...
- I get it,

and I don't need a lecture.

Where are we at

with the security footage
from Club Vinyl?

It's impossible to get a visual on Ali.

Too many strobe lights and fog machines.

But we pulled security
footage from a bank

two doors down from the hostel.

Same side of the street.

Timestamp is 1:15 a.m.
this morning post club.

That's Ali. Who are the two guys?

Maxxen. He's a famous DJ from London.

He's headlining at Club Vinyl tonight.

I called Maxxen's manager.

Staff members who worked his 2022 tour

were given those hoodies, so I
cross-referenced the employees

on the DJ's payroll in 2022
with the hostel's

guest list from last night
and got a match.

Filip Yates, 28, British
citizen, no priors.

Stayed in dorm two
across the hall from Ali.

Now, based on a credit card payment,

he checked into a Hotel Jirina
this morning around 10:15 a.m.

That's only two minutes
away from the hostel.

FBI.

We're here to speak to Filip Yates.

Search warrant.

Clear.

I'll check this camera.

SD card's missing.

FBI! Don't move!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, stop!

Stop!

Did you stay at the Indigo
Circus Hostel last night?

Yes. Why?

Did you enter dorm room four?

No.

No, I only went in room two.

What did you do after you checked in?

I went to Club Vinyl with some of the...

some of the backpackers from the hostel.

What time did you leave?

Around 1:00, 1:00 in the morning.

Seems a little early
to leave an EDM club.

My best friend is the headline DJ

at Club Vinyl tonight, okay?

Whenever he goes on tour,
he pays me to check out

the venue the night prior.

What were you taking pictures of?

Stuart likes to see photos
of the club ahead of time,

just to determine
lighting setups and stuff.

Where's the SD card?

Why were you holding the arm
of a rape victim last night?

She was raped?

Yes, and you were one of the
last people she was seen with.

I... when I left the club,
I bumped into one of the guests

from the hostel.

He was struggling to get
his girlfriend back.

She was pissed. I just gave him a hand.

Then why'd you run?

Got something in your bag?

Look, Stuart's
a notorious cheapskate, okay?

I'm skint most of the time,

but I've gotta make
an extra little quid, right?

Describe the other male.

There's gotta be some kind of
plea deal here or something.

You're doing great so far, Filip.

Don't muck it up now.

All right.

His name was Alex.

He was about 5'10" or something.

He was white.

I don't know, late 20s, brown hair.

Canadian I think.

He told you that?

No, no, he had a maple leaf
flag patch on his...

on his bomber jacket.

Listen, if this guy's
a rapist, he had me fooled.

Running our intel
through Europol's database

to see if we can link Alex's
profile to any similar attacks.

I'm seeing six unsolved
sexual assault cases

in the EU matching
the suspect's description

and MO all within the last three years.

The victims were solo female
travelers, ages 19 to 28,

all raped in hostels, and the assailant

was described as a Canadian.

They reported symptoms of roofies.

A condom was used.
Their clothes were taken.

No DNA was found.

Yates's story holds water.

He was carrying ecstasy, not roofies.

I located the other suspect
in the photos

he took at the club.

There he is right next to Ali.

Run this guy.

Maarten Van Hagen, 28, Dutch citizen,

linguistics major at Leiden
University, no priors.

Van Hagen is Dutch?

Yates said the suspect is Canadian.

Well, how hard is it to
change a patch on your jacket

and change your accent?
He's a linguistics major.

The Dutch condom wrapper
would reinforce that theory.

If the rapist was indeed toggling

between different accents,
this increases

the potential victims.

The reported accents are American,

British, Australian, Canadian.

It's the same guy.

How many open cases are there now?

18.

Hey.

What are they gonna do to me now?

Put me in a stockade
in the middle of town square?

We found a suspect.

Do you recognize any of these men?

That's Alex, one of the
guys from the hostel.

What else do you remember?

He's friends with the club promoter.

He offered me a comped ticket
when everyone was pre-gaming.

I think he's from Toronto.

We believe he's been
using a fake persona.

He signed into the hostel
with the name Alex Miller,

but his real name is Maarten Van Hagen.

Did he ever hand you a drink?

Um...

Yeah, he did.

Some people took MDMA at the club,

but I don't do that stuff, so.

He's the one who handed me
that drink, the Fire Starter.

Wait, has he done this before?

We believe so, yeah.

How many?

It is more than we thought, but our team

is zeroing in on his location.

You're gonna arrest him?

Unfortunately, we need
more evidence to make sure

that he stays behind bars.

Ali, I'm not gonna lie to you,
I've had experience

with these types of cases,
and roofie-involved assaults

are very difficult to prosecute.

So how long do I have to go to bed

knowing he's still out there?

She ID'd him.

The Dutch National Police
offered to assemble

a surveillance team.

I called Leiden University for
Van Hagen's class schedule.

It was a dead end.
He's taking online classes.

I looked into Van Hagen's pattern.

The assaults occurred
on Friday and Saturday nights

in Prague, Bratislava,
Budapest, and Zagreb.

Countries with flimsy rape laws.

After assaulting Ali,
he used a prepaid visa

to purchase a 4:45 a.m. train ticket

departing from Prague to Bratislava.

He's already there.

Smitty, call the precinct in Slovakia,

let them know we're on our way.

Detective Adam Pavlik.

Agents Forrester, Vo, and Raines.

The Policajny Zbor is
eager to collaborate now

that this is a
transnational investigation.

Whatever you need, let me know.

- Any hits on Van Hagen?
- This way.

Our surveillance team got a positive ID

at Serendipity Hostel,
two blocks from Slovakia's

most popular nightclub.

I've already issued an arrest warrant.

Ah, hold off on that.

This predator is now wanted
for four counts of rape

in my country.

I won't sit around
waiting for that number

to become five.

Our victims' memories were spotty.

We have to convince the jury
Van Hagen roofied them

prior to the assaults.

- How will we do this?
- Catch him in the act.

The act of rape?

The act of spiking
his next victim's drink.

If we catch him doing that,
then we have our case.

Okay.

What's your name, love? I'm Harper.

This is Ethan, Alicia, Simon.

Hi. I'm Sarah.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Are you American?

I am.

Well, welcome to Bratislava.

So what's on your
bucket list for Slovakia?

My best friend won't shut
up about Devín Castle,

so I'm thinking about doing

the sightseeing tour tomorrow morning.

- How long are you here for?
- Two nights, maybe three.

I mean, I'm traveling solo,
so just playing it by ear.

I'd go on Monday. Less tourists.

Hmm.

Hey, listen, there's a DJ
playing at the Svitanie Club

later tonight over from Berlin.

I'm putting together
a group from the hostel.

We're leaving here at 11:00.

Yeah, raves aren't really my thing.

Oh, come on.

You can't have the proper
European experience

without going out in Bratislava.

Like, seriously, the parties
here are legendary.

Look, even if raves were my thing,

I kind of quit my job
to backpack Europe,

so I gotta stretch my cash
for six months.

The promoter gave me some comp tickets.

One's got your name on it.

I appreciate it, really,
but I don't even think

I packed the right outfit.

Oh, my God, I'm not
buying any of your excuses.

Come on.

Come on, you only live once.

I'll see you there at 11:00.

And they just pushed this guy.

Oh, my God, there she is.

I don't know, I think
this might be too casual.

- Do you think I'll get in?
- Oh, trust me, you'll get in.

Hey, who's ready for
a bloody epic night?

Hey, you want a swig?

Why not?

See, I thought you'd bail.

I'm full of surprises.

We've got the right fellow.

I just found unmarked pills and condoms

in his rucksack, same
brand as the partial

we found under Ali's bunk.

Running a drug ID test now.

I've got eyes on Van Hagen and Vo.

It's Rohypnol, common date rape drug.

Copy that.

Once he slips it into Vo's drink,

we will test it to confirm a match.

Vo, the shots are safe.

Pavlik's team will move in
and make an arrest

once you have the spiked drink in hand.

Hey, keep the change.

You're drinking. You're drinking.

- Shots.
- There you go.

Na zdravie!

Yes!

Whoo.

Oh, is something wrong?

Are you not into me?

No, it's just the jet lag.

Third day. It's always the worst.

Oh, the worst.

Hey, I've got the best
remedy for jet lag.

Forrester, Van Hagen's headed your way.

What will it be?

Do you know how to make a Fire Starter?

Two, please.

Drinks are roofied.
Van Hagen's right hand.

- Tate, did you get that?
- Yeah.

But the quality isn't great.

Liam, come have another shot.

Hey, I'm gonna give you
a second to perk up.

We got a big problem.

He just pivoted to another victim.

We need to move in now.

Move!

Get off!

Why are you doing this?

I haven't done anything!

Let's go.

Backup plan.

I'll match Van Hagen's prints
to the spiked drink

to prove he was holding it.

Disregard.

That's the plan, okay?
Keep him destabilized.

Do not let him think.

We need Van Hagen to confirm
his presence at every location

the victims were assaulted.

Everybody got it?

Here we go.

Breath mint?

I have a prescription.

Hmm.

Why would you put
a prescription for Rohypnol

in a mint container?

I like to travel light.

The bottle was bulky.

Ah.

Hey, you're an American, right?

Why aren't the Slovak
police questioning me?

You're really good
with accents, aren't you?

We need to have a word.

Hang tight.

I want Maarten Van Hagen
released immediately.

We don't have enough
probable cause to hold him.

Well, that is not your call.

This is a major
cross-border investigation.

Agent Forrester's theory
does align with our intel.

If you wanna piss off Europol
and the FBI, be my guest.

Fine.

He's all yours.

Special Agent Forrester is from the FBI.

He's investigating an international drug

trafficking operation linked
to American suppliers.

I'm FO Garretson, Europol.

Okay, so why does this concern me?

We received notifications
that you falsified

your passport information
in the following locations

in four European countries.

We know you're a drug dealer.

What? What?

Sorry, what are you talking about?

You've been moving back and forth

in the Czech Republic, Croatia,
Slovakia, Hungary,

selling party drugs in nightclubs.

That's why you falsified
your passport information.

But we can give you
a reduced sentence maybe.

No.

If you give us the names
of your suppliers.

No, no, no, no, no.

See, you've got the wrong guy.

I falsified my passport information

because my ex was stalking me, okay?

She forced me out of my apartment.

He's not a drug dealer.

He's a poor lad with insomnia
meds in his rucksack.

Well, if you're not gonna help
me, then what is the use?

Fine.

Okay, look, we're inclined
to believe that you're not

selling drugs, but you did stay

at the following locations, yes?

And you did falsify your passport info?

Well, I wasn't...

Wasn't what?

Dealing drugs.

That is not what I asked you.

You falsified your
passport information, yes?

Why is falsifying my passport
information a problem?

Because I need to get it off our books,

and my boss wants answers.

We know you did it,
so if you're gonna keep

lying about it, then we're
just gonna assume

that you're lying about everything else.

Look, if you admit to the forgery,

then we can drop the drug charges

and you can walk out of here
with a misdemeanor.

You know what? Screw it.

Let's charge him with intent

- to sell controlled substances.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I, um...

Yes, I was in those locations, okay?

And, yes, I falsified
my passport information

because my ex is a crazed lunatic,

but I wasn't dealing drugs.

Ah, you see, that wasn't
so hard, now, was it?

Well, can I go now?

Not just yet.

Thank you.

He's all yours.

Who the hell are you?

Special Agent Cameron Vo, FBI.

And you were right.

I am not into you.

The real reason I went to the club

is because we're investigating a rapist.

Do you remember Ali?

And Elise Blanchet,
French, raped in a hostel.

May Evans, Australian,
raped in a hostel.

Claire Albrecht, German,
raped in a hostel.

Sofia Perez, Argentinean,
raped in a hostel.

I'm invoking my right to legal counsel.

It's a little too late for that.

We found date rape drugs
in your backpack,

and you just confessed
to being physically present

at every single location where
these 18 women were assaulted.

That goes towards 18 counts of
rape of an unconscious person,

18 counts of sexual assault, 18 counts

of drugging an individual
to commit a felony.

I would love to know what
