"The Jungle" is the twenty-seventh episode of the American television drama series The Killing, which aired on June 2, 2013, as the third season's premiere.
In the episode, Detective Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and his new partner Carl Reddick (Gregg Henry) investigate a teenage girl's murder, which has similarities to a previous case of Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos).
Bullet shows Kallie the beautiful large blue ring, that is obviously stolen, that she has plans to give to Lyric.
He also notes vaginal bruising, a broken finger, and a spinal cord nicked by a serrated edge.
Reddick suggests they give the case to fellow detective Tim Jablonski (Phil Granger).
Upon Seward's arrival, commanding officer Francis Becker briefs him on the rules as he is placed in his cell.
He says he and Reddick have solved seven consecutive cases, improving Holder's status in the police force, and he and Linden claim they've quit smoking.
In a neighborhood where street kids hang out, Holder asks Kallie and Bullet if they have heard about the dead girl.
Kallie visits her mother, Danette (Amy Seimetz), to ask to stay the night.
Pastor Mike (Ben Cotton), who runs Beacon Home, raffles off three empty beds, one of which Bullet wins.
Linda Stasi of the New York Post gave the premiere high praise and focused on the runaways' stories, saying: "These kids are so tough, so dirty and so helpless — yet somehow still hopeful — that it will break your heart.
Club's Phil Dyess-Nugent gave the episode an A− grade, stating, "The show continues to be both visually entrancing and rich in mood ... As a set-up for a murder thriller and 10-week tour of the lower depths, it's awfully compelling, though.
"[2] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix spoke of the premiere as "the closest thing to a fresh start the show is going to get, and there are some promising developments here suggesting this could ultimately be a more rewarding viewing experience than The Killing 1.0.
