Original subtitles

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.

What the hell? That's my car.

Hey, don't give him any closer. Look what you did. He said stand back.

What is it?

Police!

Hey, watch where you're going.

Don't move.

Put your hands on the car.

Go.

Are you all right? Do you need an ambulance?

No. I'm okay.

What happened?

I just came out and found them messing up my car. Any idea why?

I mean, I guess that.

I take it you're that.

I just think it's important to believe victims.

Well, I couldn't agree more.

But are you saying that you're a victim? I'm saying when people speak up, nobody

listens. I'm listening.

Margo, I'm all ears. No, you're going to say what everyone else says. What was

she wearing?

Was she drinking?

Okay, Margo, please. Just yes or no.

Were you a victim of sexual assault?

You see, you're not listening.

This all got out of hand. Nobody intended for anybody to get hurt.

Yeah, kind of hard to buy that when you show up with a baseball bat, Harrison.

Margo said it was just a precaution.

What else did Margo say?

That it's important to take a stand.

And it is.

And that we should believe women, and I do.

You always do what Margo tells you. She's very, very smart.

And she cares about the world.

And justice.

And she's smart.

And she told you that Zach was a rapist?

I am not a rapist.

I don't even know what they're talking about.

You've never met either of them? No. A couple days ago, I started getting all

these DMs on my socials. They found my work email. Total strangers saying I

raped somebody.

Zach, what I need you to focus on is why they'd get this idea about you.

Man, I don't know.

They're crazy. You know, mistaken identity.

I don't even know who's saying I did that.

Marco, this is not a trick question.

It's yes or no. Is the victim a friend of yours or not? What if she's not?

Do we have to be besties?

Oh, my God. You don't have to be anything. I don't know how to get

you. I cannot move forward with this investigation until I have a name.

Who is this victim you are avenging?

Like a name?

Yeah. Exactly. Like a name.

I don't actually know her real life name.

I never met her.

You never had one conversation with her. No, but it doesn't matter. What matters

is we found her rapist and you didn't. Okay, Margo.

I need you to get me something to investigate.

Just one thing.

It could be anything. I need you to give me one thing.

Her name is Jaded Ember.

She's a VTuber on Twitch.

Like a virtual streamer.

I

mean...

You'd have to be crazy to ignore that.

How could we just not try to help?

So we think he's casing the houses until the occupants leave. So I'm assigning

an additional unit to Sector David.

Questions?

All right. Then let's focus on quality stops and good collars and make sure

body cams are up and running. Be professional, respectful, and everyone

back in one piece.

All right. Thanks. This is Smith.

Not one officer checking their phone name looks like you. Well, there may or

not be a rumor going around that anyone not paying attention to the role gets

zero OT.

You're laying down the hammer.

Guess I'm a natural.

I don't like this.

Nothing to like. It is what it is.

Yeah, but can I still be mad for you?

Uh, shoot, I got a, uh, budgeting meeting coming up, but tell Griff if he

parks in front of the precinct again, I'm gonna have his ass towed.

I'm not gonna lie, that interview from last night kind of broke my brain. Yeah,

I feel like I know less after talking to them than I did after reading that two

-sentence police report.

I had to cut Zach Lewis. He said he'd stay in town. Yeah, we got nothing to

him on. What I meant.

A whole lot of questions. Okay, so I found the rest of that clip from Jaded

Ember's Twitch site. She's got a ton of fans on GameCast.

Mostly live streams herself playing video games, but here's the part of the

video where she talks about being raped.

I was in therapy when it all came back to me.

It's so crazy how your brain can just forget things that are, like, too

traumatic. But I can feel him pressing down on my neck, telling me to relax.

I could hardly breathe. I couldn't scream.

I hope you guys believe me.

So it's a recovered memory.

Yeah, from someone who won't reveal their identity. It's tricky.

Did she identify her rapist? No, nothing. No name, no details. But our

Margo claims that her detective skills are so incredible that they have cracked

the case.

Zach is also a gamer. He's got a big following on Twitch. He and Jaded Ember

were dating, but Zach claims they never met, only online.

They had a big public ugly breakup about a year ago. Her fans just jumped to

their own conclusions.

He seems real thin.

How many of her fans think that he's a rapist? Most of them. So he could be

looking at more of her fans tracking him down and harassing him. Or worse. So

let's get a subpoena for her identity. That way if she makes the complaint, we

have something to investigate.

April Dietzel.

Uh, yeah?

You're jaded in birth.

What's this about? We're from special victims unit. Can we talk to you for a

second?

I don't recognize them.

Yeah, I know Zach. He's a dick and a terrible boyfriend, but he didn't rape

Thanks for clearing that up.

How bad was it? Is he okay?

He was shaken up, but he's fine.

You made some pretty serious allegations on that live stream, and we are sorry

that that happened to you, and we would like to investigate.

No.

I know that it sounds kind of weird that I'm saying I was raped, but I don't

really remember.

And I know how crazy that sounds. But it's not crazy.

So, April, it's very common for victims to block out significant details from

their assault.

Right, but I only remember bits and pieces, and I don't want to be, like,

quizzed on everything.

You said you remember this while you were in therapy. Can you talk to us more

about that?

I don't think I can. What do you mean?

I was on a psychedelic. Okay.

It was a clinical trial for PTSD.

It's this drug called vitriptamine.

Okay. I really shouldn't have said anything.

I know how it sounds. Nobody's going to believe me. We're here because we think

that there is something to investigate.

There's not.

I don't remember enough.

You won't be able to find him. Let us try.

So the clinical trial has been over for almost a year, and the drug is being

tested for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, depression.

And April, I had no memory of this at all before taking a hallucinogen. No,

doesn't. But it's not a hallucinogen. It's not like LSD or DMT. It activates

serotonin receptors, increases prolactin, which boosts about every

you can think of. And this makes you recover memories?

Or invent them?

Look. I got to ask you, are you sure that this assault actually happened? We

don't know yet, but April believes that it did, and now so do a lot of Internet

warriors. We're just trying to get to the truth.

All right, look, even if April recalls details, you're going to need a lot more

than that. The issue here is that she wasn't aware this crime happened before

taking a psychedelic. Even if the treatment is gaining legitimacy?

Well, it doesn't matter.

People be Hughes.

People be Tunstall.

Both of these cases evaluated memories that were recovered through hypnosis,

the courts have repeatedly found that testimony needs to be supported by pre

-hypnotic recollection, okay? They're absolutely going to apply that here. So,

this is dead in the water? You can use this statement to ID a suspect, but then

you're going to need independent evidence. You're going to need a

Well, you know, it's a clinical trial. They've got to have records, so maybe

there's more details in the session. Those are not going to be admissible.

it's a very good place to start.

Let's see if I can get permission from April to talk to the therapist.

Protryptamine is both plant -derived and chemically stabilized, making it more

compatible with our brain chemistry than most psychedelics. And the vast

majority of our participants, they no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for

PTSD.

I won't be going back to traditional treatment again.

So it's a miracle drug.

I know it all sounds a little kooky. Pop a pill, listen to music, lay down in a

dark room and see what feelings come up. But we have seen what it could do for

people.

Which one of you treated April?

We both did.

At the same time? Is that typical?

It's protocol and necessary.

I mean, the sessions can bring up strong, sometimes difficult emotions and

last hours.

What were you treating her for?

PTSD. At the time, we believed her symptoms, hyperarousal, numbness,

hypervigilance, all stemmed from growing up in an unstable household with an

alcoholic mother.

Think it's possible it actually stemmed from sexual assault?

Obviously, we don't know for certain, but whether or not an event happened is

unimportant. Seems it would be very important.

Detectives, we are not in the business of investigating the accuracy of a

or catching criminals. We are in the business of healing.

We explore the meaning behind the memory.

True or not?

Yes or no?

You think she was raped?

No. I don't.

I pulled her session files.

Take a look yourself.

I trust that you protect both April and our work.

Thank you.

Dr. Severson, you got a minute?

Unfortunately, no. I'm late for an appointment. Sorry. We'll walk with you.

And maybe you could tell us what you wouldn't say up there in front of your

partner.

Really, not much more to say.

That's fine.

We'll just ask more questions, widen the net, involve a lot more people. You

know, that won't impact the clinical trials. Max, do you know what

pharmaceutical companies really love? Police investigations.

Look, I'll start by saying I don't mean to disparage my colleague. I have a lot

of respect for Dr. Catmull.

He's worked in psychedelics a long time, which may be the reason he's a little

too invested in pushing protryptamine over the finish line.

If it gets solved, all that research money goes down the drain.

It's not about the money. It's about helping people.

Jonah wasn't wrong to question recovered memories in any setting. Sometimes

they're metaphors.

But he didn't give you the whole truth.

April has a history of using psychedelics.

About five years ago.

It wasn't revealed in the initial interview.

It came out in therapy. But that should have disqualified her from the study.

Why didn't it?

Because she's a success story.

Jonah wanted it in.

So what does that have to do with her memory of being assaulted?

Jonah omitted the time period when April was using, when she was meeting a lot

of men and blacking out on a regular basis.

You think that's when it happened?

I can't say for sure it was rape, but something happened to that girl.

April trying to put together a list of the men that she dated five years ago,

but her memory's spotty. Can you remember who you dated five years ago?

are not talking about me, thank you very much.

What do we got?

Combing through dating app matches and cross -checking names of databases.

Liv, no psychedelic is a magic bullet. For this writer, for others,

it's the new frontier for mental health medicine.

Some studies say psychedelics can assist in memory recall. The others say that

it impairs it. I have a psych professor at Fordham who had a section on how

psychedelics affect the brain. She can break it down for me. Good. Go talk to

her.

So how does protryptamine make you remember things?

or that it modulates the brain's fear response. Our brain protects us from

traumatic memories, and a psychedelic, like protryptamine, can allow you to

recall those events with less shame and judgment. For me, psychedelics weren't

so much about memory. I just felt very connected and present.

I'm done psychedelic.

I might have had a crisis of faith or two that required some highly classified

trips to Oaxaca a few years back.

You're not going to turn me in, are you?

on its way.

It wasn't a clinical trial, of course. She was a lovely woman, luckily.

You're very vulnerable in that state.

I'm glad to see the practice is becoming more regulated now.

There have been problems?

Not just with tryptamine.

Sex abuse is a known problem with psychedelics. Even the naturally

ones, like ayahuasca or psilocybin.

All those happy hormones?

They mess with your personal boundaries.

They trick you.

into thinking you're okay with things when you're not. Which is why there's

therapists to make sure nobody crosses the line.

The first time I was totally freaked out.

Okay. I didn't sleep at all the night before, and I got there. I took the pill

and, like, immediately fell asleep.

Oh. And I woke up.

I felt... Like, I...

Understood what love meant.

Wow. Not like being in love, but just how

everything and everyone is all one. It's hard to

describe. I know, I probably sound nuts. No, it sounds kind of incredible.

So when did you remember the assault?

The third time. Okay.

They had me put an eye mask on, and it makes things a lot more intense.

It felt so vivid, this strong feeling of

violation. I actually feel it happening in my body. I was crying.

Did he tell your therapist?

One of them was sitting with me. He was rubbing my back and my legs, holding me.

Was that a common?

for your sessions, the physical touch?

Yeah, I guess so. Okay. It's just that's quite unorthodox for a therapist to

cross that boundary.

What happened afterwards?

I, well, I could still feel it in my body the next day.

Soreness between my legs, my throat like somebody had choked me.

They said it wasn't unusual for the brain to convince the body that it had

really happened.

In my experience, the opposite is true.

The body that doesn't lie.

And your body was telling you that you had been violated.

And I think that you were.

But not five years ago.

Have you considered that maybe you were assaulted during your session?

No.

For a long time, I felt really good about the therapy.

It changed my brain.

It made me more open, optimistic.

And now it just feels like it got rotten.

Like I'm too sick to be fixed.

Not true.

You're not too sick to be fixed.

They took advantage of you when you were vulnerable.

And now they're going to pay.

So if the Sessions always had two therapists, what are we thinking? Both

did it?

One of them did it while the other watched?

Or they weren't always together all the time. April doesn't know who was there

because she had a mask over her eyes.

Well, we both know for a fact they're willing to lie to cover it up.

Cat and mole.

fudge the session notes, Severson sent us on a wild goose chase looking at five

-year -old hinge matches.

Catmull has an MD and a PhD. He's been big in the psychedelics community since

the 90s. He's a real cheerleader for its benefits. He's got no complaints

against them. He did a ton of research papers on protryptamine therapy.

I looked into Catmull's financials. He's got significant investments in all of

this. If protryptamine gets distribution, he will make a lot of

Severson's a PsyD.

He's new to the psychedelics game. He still has a private practice. He

specializes in complex trauma, PTSD, EMDR. No complaints against him either.

He and Catmull started working together two years ago for Serolite

Pharmaceuticals, the parent company's based in Japan.

The U .S. division developed protryptamine and is running the trial.

Okay, well, these clinical trials often record their testing. So, I mean, maybe

there's video of these sessions.

Let's see.

Who's Judd Flannery?

Catmull wrote all of his papers with the guy, and then it looks like they

stopped around the time Severson came into the picture.

Wonder what split him up. Yeah, let's find out.

Dr. Catmull and Dr. Severson are some of our finest researchers.

Jonah's been with it from almost the beginning. Uh -huh. Since they paired

their sites consistently report the best patient scores.

Why? Well, have you ever had any complaints about either of them?

No. What kind of complaint?

April, the SO, recovered a memory of being sexually assaulted during one of

sessions. We are looking into the possibility that she was assaulted

session.

That's not possible, April.

Are you sure?

Yeah. She was so pleased with her treatment outcome.

So, are these sessions recorded, Ms. Fuentes?

Yes.

But given how sensitive the content is, I can't turn anything over without a

patient's permission. Well, I can help you with that. This is April's consent,

and you should have a digital copy of that in your inbox.

I can't give you anything without a subpoena.

All right, we will get a subpoena.

We'll be back.

Save the world, as long as you have a court order.

Either you guys ever take that online quiz where you put in how many times a

year you visit your parents, and then it tells you how much time you got left

with them before they die?

Hard no.

I used to calculate how much closer I was to death working at a job I didn't

care about, so one day I just walked.

All those years in medical school to work in a bike shop?

My dad would have throttled me. Eh, never been happier.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I loved helping people. I just hated everything else.

Including Catmull?

You know, I thought I was so lucky when he asked me to be his research partner.

Didn't take long to realize he didn't care much about the science.

Has he been arrested?

Why do you ask?

Dude's a druggie.

I caught him swiping pills from our inventory.

I reported him to my supervisor at Sarah Lane. She said they'd handle it

internally. But they never did.

I don't know. But there's definitely this mentality over there that nothing

stop the momentum, you know?

You ever see him act inappropriate with a patient?

You mean like sexually?

No, but I wouldn't put anything past that guy.

A shrink with no empathy.

That's wild.

And one time I asked him why I got into psychedelics. You know what he said?

Hmm. That's where the money is at.

Judd Flannery was a fresh graduate who was incompetent and incapable.

That's why I ended the relationship.

Like, for all I know, he stole the meds. You think we're on the hunt for some

pills that went missing two years ago?

We're way beyond that now, Jonah. This is about what you did to April.

What are you talking about?

Get her vulnerable and compliant, assault her, and convince her it was a

hallucination. What are you saying that I... Hey, you raped your client. Yeah,

that's what we're saying.

Absolutely not. My question is, was it a tag team situation with you and your

partner, or was it all his idea?

I leave the session sometimes.

I know I'm not supposed to.

Austin.

Austin encouraged me to take breaks. Sure, sure, sure, sure. It's always the

other guy, isn't it? I can prove it.

I have videos. Everything we sent to Fairlife.

I've got copies.

Have you watched them?

Because you had a feeling.

You knew what was on them, didn't you?

There might not be enough there to prove rape, but we absolutely have him on

sexual assault.

We're still going through all the videos, but Liv, we've already found two

women Severson did this to.

Got him.

Three crisis calls this morning, all before 10 a .m.? I think I deserve this.

Dr. Severson! Hello.

Detective! This isn't the best time. Is it ever? Get up!

What on earth are you doing?

Arresting you, Doc. What?

Enjoy that.

So I'm going to

start with the obvious question, which is, did you forget that you were being

recorded, or did you just not care?

Captain, I can see how this might seem strange if you're not versed in this

therapy, but that's what this therapy looks like. You assaulted her.

I comforted her.

A person who's taken protryptamine needs reassurance. They need someone there to

hold them together, both mentally and physically. I have to stop you for a

second because you can't just sit there and pretend that we didn't see clearly

what is on this video. You don't have the context.

Are my methods unorthodox? Absolutely.

But the use of touch, so long as it's non -sexual, has been very effective.

You call that there non -sexual?

Yeah. Yeah? Do you know what that word means?

Nothing that has transpired between my clients and myself has ever been sexual.

Not for me.

I don't derive any benefit or pleasure from these sessions. Yeah, well, neither

was she. She was in tears.

She said no, stop, multiple times.

And if I told a surgeon, no, don't sew up that incision you just made, would he

stop? I think I get it.

So what you're saying is that sometimes when a person is feeling vulnerable,

right, they just want to be held.

Exactly. The level of this therapy is so intense, you have to experience it to

understand.

I think someone like you would benefit from it, Captain.

Well, that is so kind of you to think of me.

Um, where was Dr.

Catmull during all of this?

I don't recall exactly. He may have been on a break. The other two patients that

got your special hands -on care, where was Dr.

Catmull for those?

I would have to check the video. He wasn't there every single time.

Honestly, you're real smart.

You're smarter than me.

You're smarter than most people who sit in that chair.

I mean, creating your own hunting ground and then hiding behind a clinical trial

and then having your victims sign up for it themselves. That is brilliant.

Regular genius. But you're no different than every other predator.

You know that.

And now everyone else will too.

Because we have it all on video.

Captain Curry.

Executive officer, look at you.

Eyes on the ranks.

Thanks, Chief.

Here for CompStat? Yeah, my first one.

You're not going to be late.

Hey, I'll catch up with you.

Chris.

Hey, Captain. Wow, you're all dressed up.

Yeah, well, CompStat meeting, so I had to drag this thing out.

Little, uh...

Field trip to the records room?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, Cap asked me to pull some old case files. Thinks we might

repeat offender.

I didn't hear anything about that.

Yeah. Well, hey, we missed you up there. I gotta go.

Hey, I just, uh, arranged everything.

You're not gonna believe this, but he pled to the entire indictment. You're

kidding. The judge gave him 15 years.

For three rapes?

Look, Amanda, I'm not upset about this, and you shouldn't be either.

This case in no way was going to be a slam dunk.

The video was inconclusive.

Even if April and the other two victims were ready to testify, they were in an

experimental treatment program that was always going to be tricky with the jury.

To be honest, I'm surprised this lawyer didn't want to go to trial.

Oh, my God, he's protecting a study.

From what? Scrutiny.

Look, Severson is a creep. He's a predator.

But he is a true believer in his therapy. And he'll take the hit so his

does. And Sarah Light had all the videos of Severson. They knew what he was

doing. And they did nothing?

And it's despicable, but unfortunately, they don't have a duty to... So they get

off on a technicality? Come on.

Don't look at me like that, all right? For once, I'd like to be able to stay

within my jurisdiction when it comes to you, Liv.

We can't charge Sarah Light criminally.

But we can try to shut him down.

Sonny, gotta say, shutting down an entire corporation because of one bad

doesn't sit well with me.

Sarah Light sees me getting some good results out of this drug.

Well, I have no issue with protryptamine.

Psychedelics in general, when they're handled appropriately.

But what I do have an issue with is poor oversight and not paying attention when

a doctor assaults his patients.

And that man is going to prison.

But that does nothing to solve the underlying issue.

Look, their complete lack of oversight has created the perfect conditions for

this to happen again with another doctor. I'm not saying we don't take a

but shutting down the company could shut down the entire pursuit of this

treatment. But if you do nothing, then patients are going to stay vulnerable.

Look, listen.

How about this?

Cross -designate me.

Let me take it on.

She said both doctors would be in the room at all times for my protection and

theirs. And did Ms. Fuentes have you sign a consent form for your sessions to

recorded? I did.

They said it was for the study, and no one else would see them.

And I'm assuming that you did not consent to either doctor lying under a

with you and touching your body.

No, absolutely not.

And did Ms. Fuentes or anyone else from Sterilite Pharmaceuticals ever reach out

to you about what was on your recorded video sessions?

No. Even after Dr. Jefferson was arrested for sexually assaulting you?

Not a word.

Thank you, Ms. DiEso. Not for the question, Joanna.

Ms. Rettstatt, your witness.

Ms. DeAso, what you endured at the hands of Dr. Severson was reprehensible, and

I don't want to put you through a long list of questions, so I'll be quick, all

right? Okay.

I really just have one.

Did this therapy help you?

I don't know her.

I was assaulted.

Raped. I know.

But that's not what I'm asking.

You have been treated for PTSD.

Is that still your diagnosis?

He's a monster. I don't disagree.

He is.

And, according to your post -clinical trial follow -up, your PTSD is,

speaking, no longer present.

So I'll ask again, did it help you?

When I wake up at night, I feel like I'm being choked.

Feel hands on me.

Feel him on top of me over a year later.

I think about what would have happened if Dr. Severson hadn't done this to me.

What that life would have been like?

I'll never know.

I just don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else.

Ms. Fuentes, your company...

Has safeguards in place to prevent sexual abuse, correct?

Yes, we do. For example, you require two therapists to be present for the entire

duration of every session.

Correct. You also require that each session be recorded on video.

Yes. But that didn't really stop Dr. Severson, though, did it?

We were horrified by his criminal actions.

But to say that one bad actor is indicative of our entire company, it's

Right, because you know for certain that there was only one bad actor. You got

the videos, right? So if anything inappropriate had happened, you would

seen that.

You do record every session, don't you, Dr. Fuentes?

Yeah. And have you ever seen a therapist leave a session when they weren't

supposed to?

I never saw that.

No? And all those videos? That's astonishing.

I mean, how many hours would you say there are? There's got to be thousands.

Yes. And approximately how many hours of those sessions did you watch?

I haven't had an opportunity to review.

You never watched the videos that you require for the purpose of protecting

patients? Me personally?

No. Okay, not personally, but who does?

You have to understand.

We keep the videos as records.

We simply don't have the manpower to review that much footage.

We're a research -focused entity.

Your primary purpose should have been to keep your patients safe.

And if you had done your job, then you would have seen three women, the very

people that you were supposed to protect, be assaulted by one of your

Isn't that true?

Yes.

Nothing further.

Ms. Fuentes, you may step down.

Both counsel approach.

Ms. Rett said, if things keep going the way they're going, I'm inclined to rule

in favor of the Attorney General's office. Your Honor, I would... However,

also understand that Serolite Pharmaceuticals is at the forefront of a

breakthrough medication that has the potential to change the face of mental

health treatment, perhaps under the right leadership. Hold on. Your Honor.

Serolite Board would not object to removing Ms. Fuentes from her position

CEO, Your Honor.

In that case, I'd be inclined to deny the Attorney General's application to

them down. Your Honor, respectfully, I disagree. Three women have been

victimized. Victimized by Dr.

Severson, who's out of the picture.

Did SVU find any other instances of therapists abusing patients?

No, they did not, but the potential for abuse is there.

And unless we shut them down until real changes are made, it'll stay there.

I admire your passion, Mr. Creasy, but I don't think you've made your case.

You're welcome to take an appeal.

Step back.

Well, went down swinging, Stoney. I'll give you that.

Yeah, well, thanks for spouting on the team. Your turn.

Take care.

Well, you warned me that we were punching above our weight.

Yeah, I did.

Well, you're not going to give me the I told you so speech?

When I was a kid, my mom had an abortion.

Nearly killed a Catholic father. The baby would have been born with all kinds

problems. All this information came out about this antidepressant that she was

using off and on.

I remember this fancy lawyer, he came to our house and he wanted her to join a

class action lawsuit.

Told us that hundreds of babies have been born with birth defects because of

that truck.

What does she do?

Class action was denied certification.

Case never went to trial.
