Last updated

"Ogi Jun" is the seventeenth episode of the American television drama series The Killing, and the fourth of its second season. It aired on April 15, 2012, was written by Jeremy Doner, and directed by Phil Abraham. The episode advances the investigation into Rosie Larsen's murder by revealing the identity of the bearer of the Ogi Jun manga tattoo and deepening the connections between the Larsen family, the Polish mob, and a foster child named Alexi Giffords.

Background

In the episode, detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder follow men from the Larsen garage to a Polish restaurant owned by Janek Kovarsky, suspecting Stan Larsen's involvement with the Polish mob. They consult FBI organized crime specialist Corey Petersen, who reveals that Stan was suspected of killing a man named Piotr Michaelski to leave the mob. Petersen shows a photo of Piotr's body in a car trunk, hands bound, shot in the head, and notes he had a wife.

Stan Larsen learns that Belko Royce's body has been taken from the morgue by a funeral home; he finds Janek Kovarsky at Belko's coffin in a church. Janek calls Belko the better man and tells Stan about school bullies teasing his son Tommy about Rosie.

At school, Stan tells Tommy to fight back. Detectives question Piotr's widow, Monica Krol, who says police should have arrested Stan 17 years ago. Sterling Fitch tells them the tattoo belongs to a man who used to hang around the Larsen house and creeped Rosie out.

In a juvenile prison, the detectives bribe inmate Benissimo Lee with a candy bar; he says he gave the Ogi Jun tattoo to a foster kid named "Giffs." Holder identifies Giffs as Alexi Giffords, a foster child whose current address is three blocks from the Larsens. Sarah visits Regi Darnell to request Alexi's foster file. Stan finds frayed wiring in his van and confronts Janek, who admits to burning down Beau Soleil.

A young man with an Ogi Jun tattoo arrives at the house Holder is monitoring; Holder realizes the man is Alexi, who escapes. A case worker reveals Alexi's birth name is Michaelski and his mother is Monica Krol. Sarah finds a drawing of Rosie with her face scratched out inside an Ogi Jun manga comic.
