Almost Human Recap: The Bends

Written by Shae

This week, Kennex and Dorian tackle a drug ring! Why? Because a cop friend of Kennex was killed….sad day =/.

Of course, many in the precinct thought the guy was a dirty cop, so when he turned up dead with a trunk full of drugs, they weren't surprised. Kennex on the other hand didn't buy that story. Having known the dead cop for quite some time, he swore the guy wasn't bad. So they start an investigation that leads them on a journey toward finding out this big bad drug guy that everyone's talking about. Unfortunately, they need to find a a way to meet this super secretive drug dealer. They need to set up a meeting with the guy, but the only way he'll see anyone is if they can cook up the drug in question.

Enter, Rudy. Now, I don't know about you guys but I am a huge Rudy fan. I've liked him since episode one, but this episode? Awesome. Rudy steps up and holds nothing back when he decides to take the undercover position. Normally, he's down in the basement working on Synthetics. This time, he takes charge.

With just a few kinks, Rudy does end up reproducing the drug. He get's a meeting with the drug dealer's goons; one of their robots confirms that his drug sample is 95% pure. Then he's taken/kidnapped right under Kennex and Dorian's watch. The guy posing as the drug leader takes him to a lab. Of course, they quickly discover that Rudy is not who he claims to be and soon, there's gun fire. Rudy's on his own for a bit and has to out run/outsmart these guys. He gets shot in the arm, but Dorian and Kennex eventually find him (after beating up the bad guys).

In the end, the major drug dealer guy, was really the captain of the cop who died. He was dealing on the side and rolling in cash. Kennex takes him down, and then he, Dorian, and Rudy all go for drinks. Though, Kennex isn't thrilled that Rudy's being brought along. That's okay, Rudy earned his beer!

I have to say, this show is blowing me away with how utterly awesome it is. It's got a bit of everything. Cop/detective drama meets futuristic sci-fi world? I mean, how awesome is that? Still, I am wary. Years of sci-fi movies have taught me not to trust robots.
