He’s sorry for the death of Keri, and he wants RJ to know that he told the cops everything about Antonio threatening Keri that night. RJ wants to know what Rex heard. He was walking down the hall and overheard Antonio say “You’ll regret it”, but he didn’t check in on them, thinking it was a personal matter and not that anyone would die. Maybe it wouldn’t have happened if Rex had done something about it, RJ yells, and he storms out.
