- In the criminal
justice system,

sexually based offenses are
considered especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate
these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

- Huh?

- One more round
then grab a quick drink?

- Aw, my sitter's on the clock.

- Just had some changes
in the squad room

I wanted to run by you.

- What's that?
Kat not working out?

- Actually...

uh, just got off the phone
with the chief

and, um, he'd like you to
report to 1-P-P on Friday.

- About what?

What?
Just get it over with.

speech prepared...

Um, but you...

Really?

- Congratulations.
- Really?

Wow.

I didn't even know
I was on the grid.

And after the year I've had?

- You've had some challenges
this year,

but you've persisted.

- Well, thanks.

- Congratulations, really.

Bottoms up.

- 09.

Barely over the limit,

but the officers that arrested
her said she was wasted.

- She told me that her brain
wasn't working right.

That nothing felt real.
- So 12 hours plus in holding,

she ate, she drank,
she used the bathroom.

So as soon as we get
her statement,

we need to do a rape kit.

Luke...

I never got his last name.
We met on TrueHeart.

- Dating app?

He ordered these funky drinks.
Howlers.

how many of those you had?

- Two.
If that.

They must've been strong.

Feel not myself.

Nothing.

My memory drops out.
- When does it pick back up?

- Trying to drive my truck,
I guess.

I could not stay in my lane.

My body wasn't listening
to my brain.

I felt...

Drugged.

That would make sense, right?

And then it didn't hit
until I was... in court.

That...

Luke had raped me.

- And what made it click?

- My clothes felt wrong,
and I'm sore.

I just know.
I know I was raped.

Do you have his number?

- No.

But, I can show you the message
he sent me this morning.

Oh, what the hell?

- What did he say?
- He's gone.

He said he had a great time,
asked if I got home okay.

I messaged back,
"What did you do to me?"

- And he deleted your match?
He ghosted you.

- So you can't find him?

- Well, we can contact
the dating app, but...

right now, Jill,

we need to get you to the
hospital to do a tox screen.

if I was drugged?

- The clock is ticking,
but there's a good chance.

They test for over 300 drugs.

The DMV is more user-friendly
than these dating apps.

From this angle, he doesn't
seem to spike her glass.

Maybe they were
just strong drinks.

- Fast forward.

They walk out.

She doesn't seem incapacitated.

footage to follow their route

after the bar.

to her truck

on the corner of North Moore.

Kisses her good night.

- She's standing,
but not responsive.

All right,
and when was the crash?

- Ten minutes later.

- So he either drugged her
in the bar

Geez, I thought that
we hit it off at the bar.

You know she drives
a cupcake truck?

So what happened?

- What happened?
Oh, like after?

Um, well, uh,

I asked her
to come back here, uh...

I guess this is okay.
She already spoke to you.

Um, we had sex.

- Whose idea was that?

- Both of ours.
I-I asked.

I always ask these days.

You know, afterwards
I even walked her to her truck.

- We know.

We checked the security cameras.

- Oh, okay.
[laughs] It's a little bit

of a police state
that we live in these days.

That's... that's a good thing,
right?

Um, yeah, anyway,
you know, I did...

I made sure she got
to her truck all right.

- So you're a gentleman?
- Yeah.

And I messaged her the next day.

Told her what a great time
I had.

- Did she say she had
a great time too?

- Well, now that you mention it,

she messaged me back
something really weird.

- Like,
"What did you do to me?"

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's, like,
I don't know what she meant.

Guys, I support
all the MeToo stuff.

I am one of the nice guys.

Did you find out
what I was drugged with?

- Actually, Jill, your
tox screen came back negative.

- How can that be, I...

That can't be true.
I know how I felt.

- It's possible that whatever
you were given

had already left your system,

or you were dosed with something

that we may not have a test for.

- Okay, I don't understand.

One of the other detectives
told me you test for 300 drugs.

- We do, but there are
people out there

who are designing drugs
we can't ID.

The labs can't keep up.

- Drugs to turn women
into zombies?

- They all have
different effects,

but what we found
with a lot of these drugs

is that the victims may be able
to walk, sometimes talk,

but they may not know
where they are

or what is happening to them.

- And you don't have tests
for them?

- They buy stuff online,

they mix up the ingredients
in their kitchen...

Tranquilizers, antipsychotics,
antihistamines.

- But they're undetectable?

And he wiped out my memory?

So no one's even gonna believe
I was drugged?

- We believe you.

And your affect, your demeanor,

and everything
that you've described

is evidence to us.

- Still,
it's hard to get conviction

on something like this,
isn't it?

- Let us worry about that.

[somber music]

[elevator bell dings]

- Ms. Bailey.

How are you doing?
- Not great.

There's no proof I was drugged.

And I still have this DWI
to deal with.

Insurance,
my truck's impounded...

that DWI kicked down the road,

at least until we deal with...
With this case.

- Oh, nice to see you too.

Uh, no priors.

We're looking for
similar assaults.

Look, this was well-planned.
- Hmm.

- All right, I think that Luke
has done this before.

- He's a risk analyst
in Midtown.

Never married,
boring-ass Facebook.

- He's a loser.

No wonder he needed an app
to get a date.

- Fin, not everybody
is as magnetic as you.

- Yeah, it's the fastest way
to meet people.

But do you know how many times
I've seen someone's profile

and then met him or her
out at a bar

and they are nothing
like they say?

- All you have is a username
and a photo.

You have no idea
who you're actually meeting.

Uh, which brings me
back to Luke.

I need a search warrant
for his apartment.

- I hear you, but the tox
screen was negative, right?

So I have no idea
what to ask for.

- I think I have something.

Similar M.O. in ViCAP
four months ago.

The vic, Rebecca Larson, reports

that she was drugged
and raped by a Luke

that she met on TrueHeart.

- Who caught the case?
- Brooklyn SVU.

It was closed, unfounded.
Insufficient evidence.

- So we open it back up.

- But after my tox screen
came back clean,

the detective stopped
returning my calls.

- We think you may
have been drugged

with something
there's no test for.

- Oh, my God.
The...

No, but I...

I was careful.

I ordered beer in a bottle.

How?
How did he do that to me?

- Um, you met this guy
on TrueHeart.

- Yeah, he said his name
was Luke,

but after our date,
he deleted me.

about that night?

He wasn't hot,
but he seemed fine.

We went to Pinky Six.

SVU has arrested Luke Mitchell
charged with raping two women.

We believe that
he has an accomplice,

and we believe
that there are other women

who have not yet reported
their assaults.

Mr. Mitchell connected
with both victims

on a dating app
called TrueHeart.

He met Jane Doe one at a bar
in Lower Manhattan

and Jane Doe two in a bar
in Williamsburg.

Now, both of these victims
experienced confusion,

disorientation, and memory loss

and we believe that these
women and possibly others,

were drugged and raped.

Your decision to go on a date

and consume alcohol with someone

does not give them
permission to rape you.

Doing so is a crime that
we at SVU and the DA's office

are taking very seriously.

If you or anyone you know
have been victimized

in a similar manner,

we urge you to contact

She had a stroke
the night she was raped.

- I'm so sorry.

- Whoever heard
of a 28-year-old girl

having a stroke?

My poor baby
hasn't been the same since.

She's afraid to sleep.
I lay there with her all night.

Even once I'm there,
not until the sun comes up

that she fills safe enough
to drift off.

- That night I got home,

something felt wrong.

I... I called my mom.

We went to the ER.

They started a rape kit.

About ten minutes in, I...

my ears started ringing.

Numb, a stroke,
and later, seizures.

Always a surprise.
- What did the doctor say?

- That drugs could've triggered
the stroke.

- And we haven't gone
to the police

because
she didn't remember anything.

- When was this?

- Three months ago.

Tuesday.

My life ended three months ago.

- Mmm, don't say that, honey.
- It did.

Mom.

It did.

♪

.

- My client's already
been arraigned.

You've publicly denounced him,

and now you're re-arresting him?

This is a vendetta.

- We're bringing
additional charges.

- Two women have come forward
with the identical MO.

- Two more rapes.

- And one woman
who couldn't come forward,

but her mother did.

Piper,

who had a stroke that night,

is paralyzed and brain damaged.

- And if she dies,

you're staring down the barrel
of felony murder.

That's life in prison.

- No.
That is crazy.

She was fine when I left her.

I put her... now, I put her
in a taxi, and she was walking.

She was talking.

- Well,
all of your victims were,

because that's how
drug-facilitated rape works.

- I don't know
anything about drugs.

- Well, maybe not,

but your friend Ash does.

- Now, we know that you two
have been in contact

since you've been arrested.

You wanna tell us
what he told you?

- Hold up.

First off, my client
had absolutely no knowledge

of this woman's condition
or what she may have ingested.

- Well, what does he know?

- Um, before a date,
I would call Ash,

and I'd let him know
that I was coming in.

- And he would drug
their drinks?

- I guess.

- Nope, that's not good enough.
- I swear.

All he said to me was
the girls would be awake,

but they would be, um,
what was the word he used?

He said... oh, he said
they would be compliant.

- So what was in it for him?

- This guy is a mad scientist.

These dates,
he wants the videos of them.

He calls them
his clinical trials.

- Where are your copies
of the videos?

- [laughs] I don't keep them.

That would be a violation
of the girls' privacy.

- [groans]

- All right, so the night
you were on a date with Piper,

did Ash say anything
about her cocktail?

- We talked about
how my last date before Piper,

how it wore off too soon.

- Rebecca? 'Cause she stopped
being compliant?

- Kind of, and he said,

"Well, that probably
shouldn't happen again."

So he must've
cooked something up.

I mean, I have no idea.

- Well, guess what?
You're gonna find out.

♪

- Luke needs to chill.

- I still don't get these men
who drug these women

so they'll just lay there

and they can do whatever
they want to them.

- Well, it's about control.

And maybe since the victims
don't resist,

they tell themselves
it's consensual.

- He can't get it any other way.

This way
they don't have to talk,

buy dinner... they just get
what they came for.

- There he is.

- What the hell are you doing?
Your face is everywhere.

You screwed up.
- I know, I know, I know.

I just, I need your help, Ash.
I really need it.

- You're under arrest.
We can't talk.

- I know, but my lawyer said

they might charge me
with murder.

That girl, Piper.

- I don't know names.

- Nah, nah, you remember.
It was like three months ago.

- January 5, 2020.
Long blonde hair.

Got it.
Yeah, what?

- Okay, well, she must've had,
like, a bad reaction

or something 'cause
she's, like, stroked out

and she might die,

but if I could just tell the
doctors what you gave her...

Like, I'll say it was me.

But what was it?
Roofies or...

- Are you kidding me?
Roofies?

You think I went to Date Rape
Depot and ordered a box?

Luke, my work is artisanal.
I tailor make each batch.

Not too lively, or she'd kick
your ass to the curb.

Not too zombie
because you'd be going,

"Duh, what do I do now?"

This doesn't happen
to other guys.

You got caught...
- NYPD.

Hands on the wall.
- Stupid moron.

- [grunts]
- Hey!

That's enough.
- [grunts]

- You're under arrest.
- You don't have anything.

- Huff and puff all you want.
You're going down.

- Let's go.

- [sighs]

- My work is artisanal.
I tailor each batch.

- That is an admission.

- Or bragging.
You have no evidence.

- Actually, we do.

Aside from Luke's testimony,

we have five women
who will ID Ash

as the bartender the night
they were drugged.

One of whom is paralyzed.

- My client has nothing to do
with that.

- The tox screen,
which was the only one taken

the night of her assault,
found traces of Percocet,

which we also found in
Mr. Gordon's medicine cabinet.

- I have a prescription.

- Which proves
that they're you're drugs.

And when a jury sees
Piper Hill on the stand

in her wheelchair,
slurring her words,

unable to use her right side...

- That's tough,

but I never laid a hand on her
or any of them.

I'm just leveling
the playing field.

- How do you figure?

- You ever work in a bar?

I see these guys
in their sweaty desperation

getting rolled by women
night after night.

I told Luke,

if you're gonna pick up
the check,

make sure you're getting
something for it.

- And you made sure that he did.

And the same
for your other clients.

- They're not clients.
They don't pay me.

They're just guys
trying to get over.

Just like them, you need me
more than I need you.

I didn't rape these women, if
that's what you wanna call it.

But I know who did.

- And you have the encrypted
video files to prove it.

♪

Hey.
Put him in two.

- All right, we'll be right
with you, doll.

- Come on, this way.
In here.

Come on, this way.
In here.

Full house.

That's the fourth rapist
from Ash's files.

- I'll call Carisi and get them
processed, arraigned.

- And each one of them
is more beta than the next.

- Ash knew how to pick them.
He's their puppet master.

He got off watching them rape
the girls that he drugged.

- The scary part is
he worked at a bar

and had no trouble finding
five guys who were into this.

- Where are we with IDing
their victims?

- I... nowhere.
Unless these guys talk,

we may never be able
to find all of them.

- So we notify the ones we can.

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

- [inhales]

[cries]

Thank you.

- Hmm, yeah.
Rebecca.

- [sighs]

[sighs]

- [sighs]

- So I don't have to testify?
- No.

And believe me,
that's... that's a good thing.

How are you doing?

- Honestly, I don't know
how I trust anyone ever again.

- You caught him?

- Them.

So Luke,
the man who assaulted you,

will do ten years.

And Ash, the man
who drugged you will do two.

- That's all?

- He cooperated
with our investigation.

Gave up other rapists.

And technically,
whatever drugs he used,

we can't prove they're even
controlled substances.

- They should be.

Look at what happened
to my daughter.

- Unfortunately, at the moment,

criminals and the drugs
they use, it's...

It's very hard for the law
to keep up with them.

- I, uh, I don't know
if I'll be up for it,

but I... I will...

I wanna get strong enough to
make a statement at sentencing.

They... they thought of me

as just this thing
to experiment on.

I'm... I want them to know
I'm a human being.

That I matter.

- And you're going to get there.

And we will be by your side
the whole time.
