Character overview

A corrupt and bigoted police detective serving time for murdering an arms and weapons dealer, Goergen is given a new identity upon entering Oz as he has turned State's evidence on a major gun smuggling case. While in Oz, he blackmails fellow officer Johnny Basil who is undercover in Oz, a move that ends up costing him his life.

eason 4 Part I

Goergen arrives in Oz for murder and recognizes a fellow police officer Johnny Basil immediately. He then learns that Basil is posing as a prisoner using the alias Desmond Mobay and is trying to get into the good graces of the gangs - Black, Latino, and Italian - to bust a drug smuggling operation. He tells Basil that as a part of a deal, his identity as a police officer has been kept anonymous as he is the prime witness in a gun smuggling case. Basil confronts Goergen's obnoxious qualities as an officer, which leads Goergen to blackmail Basil into watching his back while in Oz. In the gymnasium, Goergen is harassed by Black inmates Mondo Browne and Leroy Tidd whom he then calls "Niggers" in front of Basil (who is also black). Basil secretly gets a CO to break up the fight that takes place and Goergen then angrily approaches him about defending him in the gym. Basil is offended by Goergen's bigoted and racist behavior and then tells him that defense of Goergen in front of the Homeboys will blow his cover and destroy everything he is trying to do. Goergen then threatens to expose his identity if any more harm comes to him while in Oz. In the meantime, Basil posing as Mobay has been told by Gang Leaders Simon Adebisi, Chucky Pancamo, and Enrique Morales that he can indeed be a member of their crew by killing an inmate and making it look like an accident. Basil, angered by Goergen's blackmail and use of racial epithets plans to make Bruno his victim. Basil then tells him that a fellow inmate Augustus Hill knows his identity as a policeman and will keep quiet if the three of them meet at the top of the freight elevator above the woman's dress factory. Convinced that they are going to kill Hill, Goergen goes along, not realizing that he has been set up. At the top of the elevator, Goergen attempts to push Hill off the shaft but as he is trying to do so, Basil pushes him to his death. Goergen's murder draws suspicion from Detective Guinevere McGorry who thinks she knows the reasoning for killing him. After a series of interrogations, Basil, finding that he has been outed as a police officer, confesses to murdering Goergen. This move results in Basil being charged with manslaughter. He ends up serving his time in Oz's Unit J, the prison's protective unit. Several of Basil's fellow officers, including his Lieutenant, are not sorry about Goergen's murder; he had been strongly disliked by fellow. However, Basil's former partner Nancy Mears lambastes him, saying that cops like Basil and Goergen ruin the public's opinion of police.
