10/10
Rudy goes on a Rampage
3 December 2013
This episode is hard to swallow - Especially if you swallow too much of a new drug called "The Bends".

A cop "Cooper" is killed while offering up a "cook" for this stuff, and it is said that he had turned Bad Cop- As a large quantity of "The Bends" is found in his trunk.

But Kennex is gobbling up some noodles in his favorite skid row noodle joint, Dorian is not patient enough to sit and watch him eat. As Kennex Insists that it would be rude to not eat EVERYTHING on his plate, Dorian sets him up with a nice juicy SLUG for dessert.

So this Cop that got shot, Kennex insists he would not have been selling dope. Kennex thinks his friend was on an unauthorized mission to bust a dealer, but unfortunately the head of Narco won't look into it. But Maldonado can, and will.

Kennex and Dorian Fringe Out a clue and an identity falls out: "The Bishop" - Someone Narco had been looking for, for a decade: Cooper had smoked him out but his cover was blown.

So Kennex wants to pretend to be a cook and get the guy, But to make any potential cook believable, they have to be a Geek- Aka a "Rudy".

Whoever got the drop on Cooper is getting too much info from the Department - Rudy has a cocktail of some Nano-Junk that makes him Fart out his GPS location - But "The Bishop" gives him The Antidote.

The question is, since the GPS Fart Goop was brand new, how did "The Bishop" get the antidote, or even know Rudy had swilled it down? Rudy fakes his way through a cooking session, and gets to meet the real "Bishop".

So The bigger question is who The Bishop really is, Maldonado basically tricks the info out by Ye Olde Reverse-Phone-Lookup, Rudy has to stall somehow, gets creative. This has got some great Robot-on-Robot action and some Digital Balls get busted in this Ep. It's the Rock-Em-Sock-Em VX vs DRNs.

And Kennex has to take Rudy to the classy Cop Bar at the end, hopefully all of the GPS fart-juice has been ejected.
