but what we found with a lot of these drugs
is that the victims may be able to walk, sometimes talk,

tranquilizers, antipsychotics, antihistamines.

He met Jane Doe one at a bar in Lower Manhattan

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.

- 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.
