FBI: International

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.

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.
