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.

*LAW AND ORDER*
Special Victims Unit

Speaking Italian

Speaking Italian

How long has it been
since anyone's seen her?

One month.
Look...

Sí, sí.

Talking to
the Italian police?

What do they want?

What, do you have
my officed bugged?

Well, you know I can
see you from my desk,

and when you speak Italian, you
move your hands around a lot.

Exchange student from Milan,

Maria Ferraro, 20.

Father hasn't been able
to reach her.

Isn't that missing persons?

Yes, and they've been
deployed to protests.

Inspector Rossi,
he's a friend of mine,

and I owe him a few favors.

Okay, so did
your Italian friend

- give us anything we can go on?
- He did.

The father thinks that
she was living with roommates

near StuyTown.
Got it.

I'll text you the address.

Hey, mask up.

Speaking Italian

College is all virtual
these days.

- She probably left town.
- Yeah, her father said

she texted him three times
in a row,

"Va tutto bene,
Papà, mi manchi."

"Everything's okay, Papa.
I miss you."

Doesn't mean something
happened to her.

This might.
TARU traced her phone.

It's been dead for a month.

Maria?

Yeah, she lived here
over the summer.

When's the last time
you saw her?

Three weeks ago.

Maybe four.

Between the protests
and the pandemic,

you kind of lose track of time.

- Why'd she move out?
- Who knows?

It's been roommate Jenga
since March.

Got it.
So this your place?

My grandmother's.

Don't tell my landlord;
she's in Arizona.

Maria say where
she was going?

She packed up and left
without saying goodbye.

She took our food kitty
and Brad's hockey bag.

I know she owed him rent.

Mm, have you tried
contacting her?

We weren't really
"friends" friends.

She stayed in her room mostly.

She was worried that we weren't
taking the virus seriously.

I guess because of
what happened in Italy.

Okay.

I thought that she was
super social distancing

for Labor Day weekend

until Tuesday
when we opened her door.

She ghosted us.

Mm.

She cleaned the place out.

Drawers are empty.

Not a lot of dust.

Check out this wall.

- Somebody scrubbed it down.
- Yeah.

Rug too.

Maybe they used bleach.

Damn.
Okay, call CSU.

Tell them to luminol
this whole place.

Maybe she was taken
out the window.

Have them luminol
the fire escape too.

Let's check out the courtyard.

The restaurant's
been closed for a while.

Looks like somebody
jimmied this lock.

Sneaker prints
and drag marks.

When CSU gets here,
bring them in.

Got it, Sarge.

Hmm.

Electricity still works.

And a whole lot of space
in here.

I may have something!

All yours.

- God damn it.
- What is it?

We found her.

*LAW AND ORDER SVU*
Season 22 Episode 03

Episode Title: "Remember Me in Quarantine"
Aired on: December 03, 2020

First it was COVID,

bodies piling up
in the morgue,

then the murders spike.

No one's slept since March.

I get it.
We're all running on fumes.

Okay, the girl,
was it the head wound?

Significant but
that's not what killed her.

Cause of death: asphyxiation.

She was alive
in that freezer?

Ice crystals in her lungs.
She was breathing.

Broken fingernails...
She tried to claw her way out.

How long?

Tough to pinpoint.
A few hours.

- Sexual assault?
- Getting to that.

Some bruising,

viable semen in the vagina
and throat.

Nothing definitive.

They bashed her head in.
That's pretty definitive.

She hit her head,
or she fell.

The wound was shallow,
not caused by an object.

An accident?

Then why put her
in a hockey bag

- and shove her into a freezer?
- Yeah, got that, Sergeant.

That's why I'm ruling this
a homicide.

Okay, it's a homicide.
It's theirs.

- I'll call.
- Don't.

Murders have
doubled this month.

If I tell them that I want it,
they're gonna let me keep it.

Go back to the roommates
and get DNA.

Speaking Italian

Speaking Italian

Did she suffer?

- Did they...
- No, no, no.

She, um... she died instantly.

I should've called.

I am still sick
with the virus.

I didn't want her to worry,

but her texts...

Three times the same words.

Speaking Italian

I knew something was wrong.

Do you guys have any lead,
a motive, or something?

- Well...
- ADA Dominick Carisi, Inspector.

We're talking to
Maria's roommates now.

'Cause the father tells me
that Maria was not happy

in the apartment
with the roommates.

Too many parties,
too many drugs.

Please help me find
who did this.

This is like
being in a movie.

Yeah.

Now, Lexi,

when is the last time
you saw Maria?

Like I said,
that Saturday night.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, and did she
have company?

Maria?
No.

She went to bed early.

She was always nagging at me
to keep it down.

Wow.

That's the last time
I saw her alive.

Okay.

And what were you doing?

I was in my room.

- All night?
- Yeah.

This is so...

We thought she left, I swear.

What happened to her?

Uh, do you remember

hearing anything?

No.

I had some edibles
that weekend.

Quarantine stress.

Okay.

Well, let's start with
who else was

in the apartment that night.

Yeah, I was definitely
not there, I'm positive.

Why's that?

Um, well, I was
at my parents'

in the Hamptons
for the weekend.

Came home Tuesday morning.

My hockey bag was gone.

- Your hockey bag?
- Yeah.

It looked like someone
had gone through my room.

Assumed it was Maria.

Geez, you know,

she was a sweet girl.

Nice.

- How well did you know her?
- Not very.

You know, Lexi knew her from

some West Village
acting classes,

and once the dorms closed
for quarantine,

she couldn't go back to Italy,
so, uh...

She ever invite any men over?

No, she was
social distancing.

Okay.

So did she ever
social distance with you

or any of the other roommates?

Not with me.

I'm not sure
who was crashing then.

Wait, Perry Moncado.

He left a week after Maria.

He owes me money too.

Why'd you move out?

Lexi.
She was partying too hard.

Never masking up.

My father has heart issues.
I couldn't risk it.

What can you tell us
about Maria?

She had enough
of that place too.

What's this about?

Maria's dead, Perry.

What?

Oh, my God.

How?
When?

Around Labor Day.
You were still there, right?

Yeah, Brad thinks I owe him
two weeks rent.

When was the last time
you saw Maria?

Saturday night,
Labor Day weekend.

Yeah, in the kitchen.

Then she kind of disappeared.
I left her a few messages.

I wondered why
she never called back.

Maria have a boyfriend?

Maybe in Italy?

Okay, we're gonna
have to ask you

to come down
to the station with us,

to give us a statement
and a DNA sample.

Why?

Oh, I get it.

Is that gonna be a problem?

No.

Look, I like Lexi,

but the reason I left

is because she kept
bringing random guys home.

We're trying to stay
six feet apart.

She's on a binge.

Speaking Italian

"My daughter's roommates
were bad people."

Speaking Italian

"They took advantage
of her.

I have lost the light
of my life."

Maria was last seen alive

Saturday night.

Who had access to the apartment
that weekend?

Brad claims he was out east.
We're checking on that.

Perry and Lexi, both home.

And Lexi swears
she was home alone,

but both Brad and Perry
say that she's been active.

Forensics?

Everyone's prints are
all over Maria's room.

Brad's are on the hockey bag,
but it is his bag.

Well, this may be
harder to explain.

The DNA from Maria's autopsy.

"Two viable semen samples,

"one random man not excluded.

The other, Brad."

You been lying!
This is not a game!

Yeah, okay,
I had sex with Maria.

When?

- That Saturday morning.
- Come with us, please.

I know I should've
just told you.

I thought it would look bad.

You heard of DNA?

- I pulled out.
- Not entirely.

You two were in
a relationship?

No, I'm engaged.

Maria and I had sex
a few times.

That morning
she got all clingy.

That's why I left.

Wait, what?
You think I killed her?

- Have a seat.
- Recognize that?

Yeah, it's my hockey bag.
Where'd you find it?

You tell us.

Not looking good for you, Brad.

What?
Are you crazy?

I was in the Hamptons!
Didn't my parents tell you?

They did, but
they also told us

that they
were in Maine that weekend.

Was anyone else with you
in East Hampton?

No, but...

This is crazy!
I didn't kill Maria!

Then who did?

Maria and Brad?

Wow.

He didn't tell me.

I mean, I guess he wouldn't.
We kind of hook up off and on.

You and Brad are involved?

More of a sex pro quo
kind of thing.

I'm way behind on rent.

Look, it was my idea,
not Brad's.

Okay, so, Lexi,

was Brad home
that Saturday night?

You think Brad did this?

No, he comes off like a douche,

but he's a good guy.

You told me
you were home alone

that weekend eating edibles.

I think I was.

You think you were.

The past six months,
it's all kind of a blur.

"Blur"?
Focus, Lexi!

I need you to focus now.

So we know
that there was another man

in the apartment that night.

Did you bring him home
or did Maria?

Look, it's been really hard.

No work, no school.

I couldn't even go home
to Daytona

because my mom was afraid
that I would infect her.

I felt like I was dying inside.

What did it matter
if I got the virus?

So you did
bring someone home.

It was
a stress relief hookup.

We had sex,

I was pretty wasted,

I woke up, he was gone.

Maria's door was closed.

Oh, my God, did he kill her?

Lexi, who is he?

What is his name?

Look, I...

I have no idea.

The eighth floor
is getting hourly calls

from the Italian Consulate,
international media, TMZ.

We're working the case,
Carisi.

Foreign exchange student,
drugged,

assaulted, left for dead
in a freezer.

Not a great look for a city
trying to recover tourism.

Who's your suspect?

Oh, take your pick.

Brad Keegan,
it's his apartment.

Neglected to tell us
that he had sex with Maria

hours before
she was killed.

Her body was found
in his hockey bag.

He's also trading sex for rent

with the other female roommate.

Great.

Perry Moncado.
He saw Maria that night.

He says that
he was mostly in his room,

headphones on,

never saw or heard anything.

Lexi York.

She left out
the part of her story

about bringing
a stranger home.

She said she passed out,

she woke up, and he was gone.

Are we sure
she's not covering

- for one of the roommates?
- Well,

there was
a second semen sample

on the rape kit, so...

Lexi says
she has no idea who he is

- or how to reach him.
- Great.

All the press on this case,

we need to find him
before they do.

Are you mad at me
like your captain?

I should've told you earlier.

Yeah, you should've.

You really don't remember
his name?

How about what he looked like?

He was Black.

Great smile.
Cute.

Maybe... Sean
or something like that?

I'm sorry.
The last few months, I just...

I got used to telling people
what they wanna hear.

- Leaving things out.
- Like what?

Like I didn't always
wear my mask, okay?

Or stay six feet away.

I went to bars,

I danced, I kissed guys,

I took them home,
or I did them on the stairs.

Everyone was dying.

It made me feel... alive.

I get it.
I'm not judging you.

Yeah, you are.

Maybe I am
'cause I have kids,

and we've been cooped up
for months.

I'm ready for this to be over.
For them to have a life.

You said you picked up Sean
at a bar.

Was it one of the outdoor ones
on Second?

God no, a real bar.

- I...
- A quarantine speakeasy.

Everyone inside.
No rules.

You took off your mask

and kissed
the first cute boy you saw.

Sounds nice.
Where is it?

I know the bartender.

I don't wanna get him...
Lexi, we're past that.

Okay, Lexi, I know you know
how to look out for yourself.

Nah, we weren't open
in September.

- Take out only.
- Try again.

We're not the COVID police.

What do you want?

We know Lexi York
was here Labor Day weekend.

She said you served her.

Well, what'd she do now?

She meet a guy here
that night?

And why would that night be
different from any other night?

She left with him.

Sean, Black, good smile.

Oh, that guy.

Yeah, I remember.

Had to kick him
out of the bathroom.

He a player?

Never takes
the same girl home twice.

Sean, he's a beast.

Yo, this...

Yo, y'all ain't got no right
to be here, all right?

Social distance, please.

We have a warrant, Sean.
We can move in here with you.

Let's talk about Lexi.

Lexi?
Man, what's she saying?

Look, whatever it is,
she's lying.

What do you think
she's saying?

Look, the sex was consensual,
all right?

And anything I took
is 'cause she owed me money.

- All right, ask her for what?
- We will.

- You know her?
- Man, I don't know!

What is that,
the girl from the news?

Look, I had nothing
to do with that.

Hey, Sergeant.

You still don't know her?
You wanna try again?

Oh, that girl.
Yeah, she gave me that.

That's strike three, Sean.
Turn around.

Put your hands behind
your back, please.

Yes, he says that's
her mother's locket.

He has a photo.

You know who did this?

Who killed her?

We're still investigating,
Mr. Ferraro.

Who is he?

One of those boys
she lives with?

I know how difficult this is,

and we are so very close

to solving this.

Grazie, Olivia.
We talk tomorrow.

We know he's good for this?

His DNA on her kit,
prints all over the room,

prints everywhere,
including the hockey bag.

What about the freezer,
the backdoor of the restaurant?

We're still processing that.

- Has he asked for a lawyer?
- Not in so many words.

Good.
I want a confession.

I didn't rape anybody
or hurt anybody.

Then why'd you have that
girl's passport and jewelry?

It was payment, all right?

For the edibles, coke.

Lexi said it was cool.

So did Lexi
tell you to take them,

or you just figured
since Maria was dead,

she wouldn't miss them?

Look, I know you think
I might've killed that girl,

but all I did was have sex
with her, all right?

- That's it.
- Tell us about that.

She was into it, man.

I swear.
Lexi didn't tell you?

Tell us what?

We had a three-way.

And that Italian girl, Maria,

she was alive when I left.

Wasted, but fine.

Lexi didn't mention
any of that.

Lying Lexi.

You know, the whole thing
was her idea?

What whole thing?

Maria was complaining
we were too loud,

so Lexi tried
to loosen her up,

starting dancing with her,

had me give her drugs,

turning her out like a pro.

You know how that goes.

Help us out here.

How do you think that girl
got into the freezer?

This city?

All right, this year?

People have lost their minds.

Maybe she and Lexi
got into a fight

when Maria realized Lexi
gave away all her stuff.

Man, I should've known.

When a girl's
that much of a freak,

they always crazy.

How much of this
did Lexi tell you?

She's a mess, but I don't
think she's good for...

- Rollins.
- I know what you're thinking.

How much?

Not a word.

Put her in interrogation.

Look,
I didn't mention this before,

but Sean robbed us.

There was cash missing;

the medicine cabinet
was cleaned out.

He told us you gave him that
to pay for the drugs.

What?
No, he robbed us.

He must've killed Maria!

It's the only thing
that makes sense!

Don't you believe me?

To be honest, Lexi,

I'm just trying to reconcile

Sean's story with yours

because they are
very different.

What's he saying?

He saying this whole thing
was your idea.

That you made him
give Maria drugs.

They were weed gummies.

Yeah, well, there was more
than weed in her system, Lexi.

How did it get there?

Sean's edibles
must've had opium in them!

I don't even remember
what happened!

Do you remember
suggesting a three-way?

What?
No!

That's what he's saying?

Yes, he said that you
initiated the three-way.

And you know what else
he said?

He said Maria was fine

- when he left.
- This is your last chance

to help yourself, Lexi,

so if you saw him hurt Maria,

if you saw him leave
with the body,

you need to tell us now!

Look, Sean is a drug dealer.

I don't know
what he's capable of!

Well, you were fine
bringing him into your home!

I told you,
I was making bad choices!

Did that include murder?

Wow.

Way to blame the victim.

Oh, Lexi...

I think Maria is the victim.

So they're throwing
each other under the bus.

Look, Lexi lied to us,

but I don't see her carrying
a body down the stairs

- and putting it in the freezer.
- Is there any chance

that
they did this together?

Rough sex gone bad
or, worse, rape gone bad?

Sean gets rid of the body.

Lexi empties out Maria's room,
sends the father texts.

If she is complicit,

she's figuring that the Black
drug dealer will take the fall.

It's not a bad play
on her part.

Sean have a record?

Fare-beating,
a few summons

for smoking a joint on
the street, possession.

What about Lexi?

Two DUIs, public
intoxication, shoplifting.

It's the typical
coastal Florida arrest record.

Any violence?

Only to herself.
Drinking, drugs.

Was there anybody else
in the apartment that night?

Brad's alibi checks out.

The GPS puts him in
East Hampton by sundown.

Well, wasn't there
another guy?

Perry Moncado, he says
he was in his room all night

with headphones on.
Didn't hear a thing.

Go back to him,
and see if he's lying too.

Wait, I thought you said
the DNA cleared me?

Yeah, it did.

We just wanna go over
anything else

you might've
heard from that night,

even with your headphones on.

Okay.

Maybe I did hear partying.

What time?

- 2:00 A.M.
- Wow.

I was on
a collaboration session

with my writing partner in LA.

Okay.
Did you hear anything else?

They were playing Drake.

Loud.

I had to go to my room
and put these on just to write.

Who's they?

Lexi, obviously.
She brought home some guy.

Wait a minute.

I remember Maria got upset
they were making so much noise.

She came out of the room,
told them to take it down.

And did they?

I think she ended up
joining the party.

I yelled at them.
They all went into Lexi's room.

Why didn't you tell us
this before?

Well, uh...

I didn't want to sound racist,

saying Lexi brought home
some Black guy.

Okay, so he puts
Lexi, Sean, and Maria

partying in Lexi's room.

Another thing Lexi
didn't mention.

- Yeah.
- Have CSU go through her room.

Sheets, laundry.
Tear it down to the studs.

From Manhattan to Milan,

the public has been riveted
by lurid stories

of wild sex trysts,
all night partying.

Sources at NYPD tell us

they believe "Lockdown Lexi"

and her lover
murdered Maria Ferraro

in a drug-fueled
sexual torture session.

"Sexy Lexi"
and pot-dealer Sean Thomas

have been questioned
for over 24 hours,

but so far no arrests
have been made.

Who the hell
is leaking all this?

"Sexy Lexi," "Lockdown Lexi,"
this is a circus.

It has to be
the old boy network at One-P-P

They're on their heels.
They want a high profile win.

I don't know,
I almost feel sorry for Lexi.

Don't.
The lab put a rush on the DNA.

Maria's was found
all over Lexi's bed,

mattress, and bedframe,

and Lexi's touch DNA
was found on Maria's bra clasp.

Sean was telling the truth.

I told you,
I don't remember what happened.

Okay, 'cause this
is Maria's bra.

We found it
under your mattress.

Sean must've put it there
after he killed her.

Your DNA was
on her bra clasp.

I don't know
how that's possible.

There were drugs
in Maria's system

and alcohol,

but you told us
that she never partied.

Did you give her
the drugs, Lexi?

Be straight with us.

Okay...

She came out of her room.

She was mad.

I offered her some wine that
Sean had lifted from the bar.

So she drank that?
What else?

Sean gave her some...
Some gummies.

I think she thought
they were candy.

Lexi, look at me.

Look at me.

What happened?

She-She started talking

about how lonely she was...

How she was worried
about her dad.

He was sick.

She started crying.

I gave her a kiss on the cheek.

And I guess...

the edibles hit her hard.

One thing led to another.

Sean started kissing her.

She didn't say no.

She was like a Maria I had...

I had never seen before.

Perry started yelling.

We went into my room.

The bedframe broke.

Which is why you went
into Maria's room.

I guess so.

I was in and out of body.

I remember the three of us

in Maria's bed.

Wait.
Wait.

Maria was super high.

I remember asking Sean
if we should call 911,

and... and he said

he would take care of her,

that I should relax.

How did she get hurt?

I don't remember.

She hit her head, Lexi.

How did that happen?

I don't know.

Did I do it?

Please tell me.
Did I do it?

I've been so afraid.

Oh, my God.

What did I do?

NYPD has made an arrest
in the case

that has captivated the world:

the rape and murder of Italian
foreign exchange student

Maria Ferraro.

23-year-old Lexi York

is accused of luring
the victim

into a drug-fueled three-way.

Her roommate speaks out.

She was always out
of control, you know?

We're in the middle
of a pandemic.

She's bringing strange men
home every night.

She never cared about anyone
but herself.

All right,
leaks to the press,

Brad turning on her
after he slept with her.

It's officially a witch hunt.

I just hate
the double standard.

- She lied to us, Kat.
- So did all the guys...

Brad, Sean... and yet Lexi
is the one getting slut-shamed.

Kat, not now.

We still need to get this
to a grand jury.

You've got Lexi and Sean
dead to rights.

Intuitively, sure, but
legally, it's circumstantial.

They both put themselves
in the room with Maria

but deny hurting her.

Sean admits to stealing
her passport and jewelry,

but denies taking
a suitcase and clothes.

And they both deny sending
those texts to the father

from Maria's phone.

Not to mention,
who carried out the body?

Emptied the room?
Who cleaned up the blood?

Sean still had her passport,
her jewelry a month later.

I'm sorry, but I don't
see him strategizing

and executing a coverup.

- And I don't see Lexi doing that either.
- Come on.

She is the definition
of reckless.

She is,

but girls like this are
good at getting other people

to clean up their messes.

Lexi slept with Brad
in exchange for rent?

What else did she
get him to do?

You guys already arrested
Lexi and Sean.

Why are you
still talking to me?

The ADA wants you to testify.

- I wasn't there.
- To verify the timeline.

You say you came back into
the city Tuesday morning?

Yeah, that's when
we opened Maria's door.

Then why does
your mother's E-ZPass

have you in the tunnel
Monday afternoon?

You guys checked that?

Well, okay.

So where were you?

I was with a friend.
Her cat died.

She was going
through a bad time.

We'll need a name.

Sloane.

My fiancée's sister.

You can't tell my fiancée,
please.

She's already pissed off that
we had to postpone the wedding.

Look...

What happened to Maria
is a tragedy,

but that guy, Sean, did it.

- How do you know that?
- 'Cause Lexi's not this demon

that everyone's
making her out to be.

Aren't you
one of those people?

What I said on TV
was really stupid.

Lexi didn't have
the easiest childhood, okay?

Her father died
when she was young,

and her life has just been
one catastrophe after another.

You know with the pandemic,

just everything got worse.

So, yeah, I tried to help her.

By sleeping with her?

Again, it was her idea.

- She just missed being touched.
- I get it.

So that's why you helped her
clean up Maria's room.

I didn't.

I swear, okay?

Ask Perry.

The three of us
opened Maria's door.

It was already cleaned out.

That's right, we did open
Maria's door together,

but I can't swear Lexi or Brad

hadn't cleaned out
the room before.

You know they were involved.

We're aware.

Sunday, Monday,

you hear anybody going through
Maria's stuff?

Coming and going
from that apartment?

No, but I wasn't home
most of the time.

Where were you?

Doing outreach.
Labor Day weekend.

So many homeless on the street.

They need food, water, clothes.

Can anyone confirm
where you were?

Perry, such a sweet soul.

Always says "Yes."

He'd get leftover food
from restaurants.

He even got his friends
to donate clothes.

What kind of clothes?

Everything.

Sports stuff, hockey shirts.

Did you ever see this man
come in with Perry?

No.

What about her?

Oh, that's Sexy Lexi, right?
His roommate?

Perry came in one day with
a bunch of women's clothes.

Said one of his roommates
had left them behind.

They must've been hers.

And I guess those
are all gone?

Well, I know
I shouldn't have done this,

but there was a sweater
I kept for myself.

You know where it is?

I'm wearing it.

Isn't it beautiful?

Cashmere.

Italian?

We're sure that it was Perry
who brought Maria's clothes

to the shelter?

The sister told us
he wheeled them in.

She's not positive when.

This year, nobody knows
what day today is,

let alone month to month.

Perry wouldn't say it,

but it sounds like Lexi
conned him into helping.

So go back to her and see if
she suddenly remembers that.

We can't.

Lexi's lawyer won't
let us talk to her.

Who, legal aid?

Okay, so maybe we can hint
at a deal.

Don't count on it.

Brad's father got her someone
from his firm.

Okay, so pick Perry up.

If he'll testify that he helped
Lexi clean out Maria's room,

that should be enough
for Carisi.

You see anything
interesting here?

Sister Vita kept
Maria's sweater?

That's not cool.
Those were for the homeless.

So you did bring
Maria's stuff in.

When?
She give them to you?

No.

After she moved out

or after we thought
she moved out,

I found some of her stuff
in a hall closet.

You didn't think
to mention this to us earlier?

I figured Maria
wasn't coming back.

I called her, like, six times.
You can check my phone.

- We already did.
- Did you text her father?

No.

I had no idea Maria was dead.

I thought she left.
It made sense.

Her and I were alike.
Like that.

We both hated
how Brad and Lexi

were so selfish.

They were going
to get someone killed,

and they did.

You thought Lexi killed
Maria, why'd you help her out?

I didn't.

- Or did she blame it on Sean?
- Maybe you're a nice guy.

- You didn't wanna see her implicated.
- I didn't help Lexi.

I would never...

Why don't you make it
easy on yourself, Perry?

Just tell us
what went on Saturday.

I had my headphones...

Yeah, okay,
you had your headphones on.

We're not buying that anymore,
Perry.

- You heard something.
- I told you!

I heard Maria and Sean
in Lexi's room.

What else?

Drake, Cardi B,
that "WAP" song.

You hear anybody
in Maria's room?

Someone tried to bleach
Maria's blood

off of her wall and floor.

That had to make a loud sound

when her head smashed
into that wall.

You heard that, didn't you?

The music was so loud.
I couldn't stand it.

I don't know
what's going on, Perry.

Maybe you're trying
to cover for Lexi,

but I-I do know

you cared for Maria.

- I did.
- Yeah.

I did.

Should we tell him?

Maria was alive when
they put her in that freezer.

What?

They sure?

She was breathing.

Her fingernails were broken.

She was trying to claw
her way out.

She tried for hours.

Sean and Lexi did that.

I didn't know.

No, sure.
If you had've known,

you wouldn't have agreed
to help Lexi.

I don't care about Lexi!

I thought Maria was dead!

I swear!

There was no pulse!

Perry, what happened?

I was mad about the noise.

Maria...

I could hear
they were having sex.

After Sean left,
I-I went into her room,

kind of confront her about
violating quarantine.

- And then?
- I was upset!

She and I, we'd talked about
having feelings for each other.

She kept telling me she didn't
wanna risk getting corona,

and then she does that!

What else she say?

That it was none
of my business!

I said if she was going
to do that with other guys,

what was wrong with me?

I asked if I could kiss her.

She pulled away.

I kind of leaned in to hug her,

and she pushed me away.

I thought she was dead.

I swear,
I thought she was dead.

I swear to God!

I just pushed her back.

She was so high,
she hit her head on the pipe.

Okay.

So you put her in
a hockey bag,

carried her downstairs,

put her rosary in her hand,

and texted her father

to make him think
that she was still alive?

No.

That's not why.

I didn't want him to suffer.

He never got better
from COVID.

Maria thought he was gonna die.

I figured it was better he died
not knowing about his daughter.

- The hits just keep coming.
- Yeah, they do.

I'll get Lexi released.

What about Sean?

He's still at Rikers.

He told us the truth, mostly.

Mostly, that's
our gold standard now?

He stole her jewelry,
her passport.

And we arrested him
for rape and murder.

Carisi, just drop
the charges.

It's not my call,

but I doubt anyone
on the eighth floor's

gonna have
the stomach to pursue.

I want you to know

that Maria's father
is very grateful.

He was afraid
nobody would care

about finding his daughter
with all the deaths, you know?

Well, please tell him

I wish that we could've found
her when she was still alive.
