Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

- Aw, come on. - No. I don't want any beer, please.

Drinking's fun.

Everybody's doing it.

Uh, no. I feel--I feel sick. Please, please, no. I--

I'll take care of you.

- You will? - Yeah, of course.

Have another one.

- No, just leave me-- - Come on. Just come here.

D--does this mean you like me?

- Of course I like you. - I--okay, um--

You want some more?

There you go.

Ella!

Help! Somebody help!

It's all right. Everyone stay seated.

Arturo, how did this happen?

I didn't do it. I didn't do anything.

Mr. Cordova, call the nurse and the Monsignor.

Yes, sister.

Ella? Ella?

Benson, Amaro.

This is Monsignor Kiaga from-- Blessed Savior.

Nick? NYPD finally got you into a suit?

- Yeah. - Uh, is everything okay, father?

I'm not sure.

A 13-year-old from his middle school is pregnant.

- She have a boyfriend? - No.

You understand, father,

we're gonna be lookin' into everybody in her life.

That's why I came in.

You can't be too careful these days.

Agis quod agis.

Amen, father.

Catholic school Latin.

It's basically, "don't screw up."

Where's the girl now?

Given the circumstances,

I had her taken to the child advocacy center.

Okay, I'll head over.

Amaro, why don't you go with her?

Captain, she's 13.

She doesn't need two detectives in her face,

she'll be overwhelmed.

His Spanish is slightly better than yours,

and the girl lives with her Puerto Rican grandmother.

Doctor said the girl presented without any signs of abuse,

her hymen is intact, there's no signs of external trauma.

And she won't say who the father is.

Poor girl must be scared out of her mind.

There's Ella. She's clinging to her grandmother.

Could be why Ella won't open up.

Wait, just give me a minute.

Aside from the Spanish, abuelitas love me.

He's your new partner?

Uh, no.

I'm just showin' him the ropes.

If she was hurt, I won't forgive myself.

- Mrs. Mendez. - Okay.

It's just the two of you in the apartment?

Yes.

Her mother, she died when Ella was five.

Well, you've had to carry a lot.

My daughter was wild. Always in trouble.

Pregnant at 15.

I told Ella, "don't be like your mother."

She knows to wait for the right man,

for her prince.

I didn't have sex.

First of all, you're not in trouble.

But we do need to find out who did this.

Nobody did anything.

Well, somebody got you pregnant.

Did they tell you not to say anything?

No.

It wasn't like that.

Okay, so why don't you tell me what it was like?

Ella, whatever happened, this wasn't your fault.

My grandmother told me how babies are made,

and I know how I got this baby.

Okay, so you can tell me.

You wouldn't believe me.

Ella, whoever it is, whoever hurt you, I promise you,

they're never gonna be able to hurt you again.

Just tell me who it was.

It was God.

I didn't have sex.

This baby is a miracle.

Ultrasound confirmed it.

Ella Mendez is at least eight weeks pregnant.

What, with an unbroken hymen? Is that even--

It's not that unusual.

And she still refuses to name the father?

She's protecting him or she's scared.

Either way, it's somebody she knows.

What about the school. Any allegations?

Grandma said plenty, a few years ago,

but Monsignor Kiaga came in, he cleaned house.

He's one of the good guys.

All right, all due respect, Nick,

but I'm gonna have munch double-check that.

Why do I always get the priests?

So who are the adult males in her life?

Well, the grandmother doesn't date,

and she swears that no other men have access to the apartment.

- Relatives? - Ella's father's estranged,

so minimal contact. Even so,

Fin, Rollins, go talk to Ella's father.

Benson, Amaro, go to blessed savior.

If Ella has a secret, maybe she confessed to her friends.

I send my check every month,

and if her grandmother says I don't, she's lying.

That's not what this is about.

The girl's in some kind of trouble?

When's the last time you saw "the girl?"

Five months ago? I don't know.

Mr. Marais, do you know if Ella has a boyfriend?

I have no idea.

What'd she do? Your daughter's pregnant.

What does that have to do with me?

Wow, usually when a father hears

his 13-year-old is pregnant, he loses it.

I barely know her, okay?

Ella's grandmother never forgave me

for knockin' up her daughter.

Don't you care about your daughter?

Have you seen the girl?

I'm not even sure she's mine.

13-year-olds today.

We try to keep them innocent,

but we're losing them to the kardashians, and lady gaga.

Well, uh, Ella seems pretty sheltered.

She was one of the good girls. That's why this is so shocking.

Yeah, she's still a good girl, sister.

We're all concerned, but if anything did happen,

it wasn't someone here at blessed savior.

You're sure about that?

We pay very close attention here.

Close enough to know how she got pregnant?

Sister, did you notice any changes in Ella's mood recently?

She seemed happier.

You know, a few weeks ago,

I heard her singing to herself in the stairwell.

Ella?

The only boy she thinks about is Prince William.

She talked about the royal wedding all the time.

So any boys into her?

Arturo. He follows her like a puppy.

Arturo.

Came in the middle of last year,

always sits next to her,

and when she passed out, he freaked.

So he likes her, but she's not into him.

Yeah, like that.

Arturo's always puffin' on his inhaler.

He wasn't gettin' with no girl.

And which one is he?

Arturo? He ain't here right now.

Both their seats been empty since she got sick.

Thanks, kid.

One name came up, and it sounds like a long shot--

Arturo?

He's not truant.

I told the school, Arturo was up all night. Asthma.

Sorry. So Mrs. Rivera,

we just have a few questions about Ella Mendez.

Is Ella okay?

You two friends, Arturo?

Is Ella in trouble?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, uh, may I trouble you for a glass of water?

- Of course. - Thank you.

Is Ella sick? She wasn't at school today.

Well, neither were you.

What, you texted one of your friends to check up on her?

Are you gonna tell my mom? She doesn't like me texting.

No.

Nah, I don't need to tell your mom,

but, uh, man to man, Arturo, I need to know,

is Ella your girlfriend?

I'm her best friend.

Any other boy she hangs out with?

Just me.

Does she ever talk about a teacher,

maybe a friend's father?

- No. Nothing like that. - Oh.

If there was, you could tell me.

Okay,

but I don't know anything.

I swear. Okay.

I need to get my inhaler.

Here. Here you go.

This kid may know something.

His chest tightened up when I started to push.

Whoever got Ella pregnant,

both those kids are scared of him.

Huh. Munch just got a hit off the database

on one of her teachers.

Luis Cordova,

science teacher for the past five years at blessed savior.

There's a complaint against him?
