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.

Were you girls doing any drugs?

No, just fireball shots.

Meghan wanted to call her boyfriend,

we went ahead, she never showed up.

We were here to party.

It was our first time in New York.

I saw a hawk above me.

I tried to jump

A woman brought me there.

How was she helping you?

She got us a chariot,

What about the driver?

He sat on a leopard.

He was nice. He gave me water.

Okay, Captain.

Meghan's still not making any sense.

She said she got into some kind

Like this?

Pedicab with leopard-print seats.

That could be it.

Traffic cams caught 'em up

DMT overdose is not

Two victims dosed with DMT?

Meghan Gale and Jane Doe.

She was found two weeks ago, 6:00 a.m.,

wandering, wearing a sheet,

by the fountain at Rockefeller Center.

How did we miss it?

The unis thought
that she was homeless, an EDP.

So they took her to the psych ward.

She hasn't uttered
a coherent sentence since.

Doctor says that she stays
awake for days at a time.

She might be afraid to sleep.

- We have no idea who she is?
- Oh, no.

There's no ID, there's no DNA,
there's no missing persons.

Now, the medical report shows
signs of sexual assault,

and from the tox screen, she was taking

prescription antipsychotics.

What are we looking at here?

It's a man-woman team who...

pick very young victims,

take them to some group house,

drug them with DMT,
rape them, and then...

and then dump them,
in some public space.

Have you ever seen
something like this before?

- Could it be some kind of cult?

I mean, Meghan says that
she remembers an older man,

talking to the group.

She called him a wizard.

Yes, Chief, she's an
exchange student from Sweden.

Her name is Freja Bergdahl.

This one went missing two days ago.

You know, the roommate says
that she's a good kid,

she's a grad student at Pratt,
not a drug taker.

The trolls kept me in the dark.

They held me down.

They were inside me.

Was anyone with the trolls?

A king.

W-with a white beard.

He ruled the house.

Tell me about the house.

H-how did you get there?

It was bumpy.

You were in a car?

Nej. A bicycle.

Okay. Good, Freja.

Do you remember,

you remember seeing anything else?

We went past a giant stone woman.

And later...

up a high stoop.

Many stairs.

Freja, you're an art student.

All right, you think you can draw the...

the woman and the trolls?

Machine elves, Swedish trolls?

So this girl was also drugged with DMT?

A huge dose, and ketamine.

Both rape kits came back with
semen from multiple donors.

- No hits.
- No criminal records,

not DNA savvy.

Led by a wizard? A king?

Yeah, who has unlimited access to DMT,

tougher to get than cocaine and meth.

You know, shamans in South America

use it to access a higher dimension.

So our wizard gets DMT

through a religious group
or medical research?

We're checking clinical trials to see

if they've had any of the drugs stolen.

Anything else to go on?

Freja remembered passing

a huge stone woman.

Maybe a hallucination.

Or not.

What about the Bust of Sylvette?

- The Picasso statue.
- By the I.M. Pei Towers.

Okay, we'll start a canvass.

Why don't you put Freja in a car,

drive her around, see what comes back?

Um, uh, she's...

she's actually quite traumatized.

I won't tell you

So the brownstone here
with the red door,

was bought 30 years ago,

by a foundation for radical therapy,

and gifted to Julius Adler
for his institute.

- He's the white-bearded wizard?
- Dr. Julius Adler,

an esteemed professor of Radical
Psychiatry at Tompkins Square,

a prolific author, and...

And a freak.

He uses psychedelics as a cure-all.

In controlled, clinical studies.

I ran the building.
It's got nonprofit status.

Seven complaints over the last year.

Noise, kids partying,

a cello being thrown out
of a third-story window.

going into that brownstone?

- Can they ID him?
- No,

but Freja was clearly triggered.

Now, she thinks
she remembers the red door

and the high stoop.

There's reason to believe he has DMT

and other psychedelics inside.

But if he's running clinical trials,
that may not be illegal.

Come on, Carisi, you can trust us.

I do, Fin, but every time
I go out on a limb for you guys,

Nope.

I, um, didn't want
to get into it before,

but back in Atlanta,

when I was going through some stuff,

I took some psych courses
at Georgia State,

and Adler was a guest professor.

I'm telling you, this man...

Her father raped her
when she was a child.

She completely dissociated
from herself to survive.

By the time she came to me,
she'd already seen,

and been failed by, a dozen therapists.

So you were her doctor.

Initially, yes, for a psych evaluation.

After a suicide attempt.

And you slept with her?

Later.

Yes, after I'd begun treating her.

With the hallucinogens?

And love.

And positive sexual energy.

She was so depersonalized,
so derealized,

the only way to heal her wounds

was to go back to their cause

and reprogram her response.

Reenacting?

Yes.

And I can tell you,
it did work for a time.

We were happy. We conceived a child.

But as Anais grew,
Kathleen flooded with memories.

The abuse had started earlier

than she'd let herself remember.

I did everything I could.

But you lost her.

Yes.

And since then, I have...

dedicated my life
to saving other victims.

That's...

that's what I want to hear about.

Oh, so many of them.

It's more common than you realize.

Freud knew it early on in his work.

He... he...

he saw how pervasive
child sex assault was,

but academia wouldn't
even discuss incest.

So he categorized their
memories as childhood fantasy.

- The Oedipus complex.
- Yes.

The original sin of psychotherapy.

So these students aren't drugging

and assaulting these women, it's...

therapy.

These young people are drawn to us.

They... they have deep wounds.

Now, by... by altering

their perception of reality,

while reenacting their abuse,

I am able to reconnect them
with their true selves.

True selves?

Did that help the woman in...
in Bellevue?

Because she may never come back.

- Just like your wife,
- No!

- who may never...
- No! Not my fault!

Not my fault!

They are... they are broken.

I-I try to save them.

You know this, Kathleen.

I...

Could this be an elaborate act?

There you are.

Hey, what's up?

Um, I went and checked on Adler.

He's been at Bellevue
for the last three days

and hasn't eaten, spoken, slept.

He's completely unresponsive.

It's not a ruse.

Well, even so, I still plan on

arraigning him and his disciples,

including Anais.
What they did to those women...

I hear you.

Just, can you give me 24 hours
before you arraign Anais?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Hey, Rollins,
if you don't mind me asking.

What's your deal with this guy?

I wanted to hear his side of the story.

I had no idea how far gone he was.

There was a time that...

I was lost and...

thought he had the answers,
I wanted to learn from him.

I wanted to follow him.

Yeah, but you didn't.

You were smart, Rollins.

- Hmm.
- Hey.

You dodged a bullet.

Yeah.
