OPENING CREDITS
|
|
A prison ship. The barred doors open and close. Dead policemen are littered
|
|
across the floor, bleeding. An inmate named Tucan with a wine bottle
|
|
approaches Udai Taxim, a dangerous man.
|
|
TUCAN: Hey, did you do that by yourself? Pretty good!
|
|
Tucan drinks from the bottle. Udai stares at him.
|
|
TUCAN: Hey, let's be amiable. We shouldn't waste what our whimsical god has
|
|
given us.
|
|
UDAI: God?
|
|
TUCAN: Or rather, for these guys it would be the devil. Want some? It's
|
|
Dom Perignon.
|
|
Tucan gives Udai the bottle. Udai pours the wine into the mouth of one of
|
|
the dead officers.
|
|
UDAI: Cheers. To this ship that has charmed the devil.
|
|
The ship passes through hyperspace.

Session #16
|
|
BLACK DOG SERENADE
|
|
The Bebop. Faye complains to Jet. Jet cuts his bonsai trees cigarette in
|
|
mouth.
|
|
FAYE: What in the world is going on with the showers in this place?! This
|
|
is the fourth time! The FOURTH time! Even Buddha gets upset after the
|
|
third time! Hey, are you listening?
|
|
JET: The shower broke, and only cold water comes out. And the faucet fell
|
|
off.
|
|
FAYE: If you know about it, fix it!
|
|
JET: I'm busy right now.
|
|
FAYE: You can do THAT any time you want -
|
|
Jet's communicator rings. Faye grabs it before he can.
|
|
FAYE: We're busy!
|
|
Faye hangs up.
|
|
JET: Don't just hang up! What if it's an emergency?
|
|
The communicator rings again. Faye smiles.
|
|
JET: Oh, all right. You'll be happy if I fix it, right?
|
|
FAYE: Hi, he'll call you back. What's your name? OK, Fad. I'll tell him.
|
|
JET: Fad? Did you say Fad?
|
|
Jet's cigarette in his robotic left hand begins to burn down to his
|
|
fingers.
|
|
FAYE: It's not hot?
|
|
Jet notices.
|
|
FAYE: Why don't you fix that?
|
|
JET: I told you I'll fix it.
|
|
FAYE: No, your arm. I mean, reconstructive surgery doesn't cost that much
|
|
nowadays, right?
|
|
JET: This ship is my ship. And this arm is my arm. Don't tell me what I
|
|
need to do.
|
|
The prison ship. The pilot, the one remaining officer of the ship is held
|
|
at gunpoint by a large inmate named Nero. A seedy inmate by the name of Dig
|
|
make an announcement.
|
|
DIG: Now, you death row inmates. I'm sorry to say, but the cruise to the
|
|
prison on Pluto has been canceled.
|
|
The others laugh.
|
|
DIG: This ship will now enter a mystery tour -
|
|
PILOT: What are you going to do? Do you think this ship is enough for you
|
|
to escape?
|
|
DIG: I wasn't talking to you...
|
|
OFFICER: S-Stop wasting your time like this. If you surrender peacefully -
|
|
Dig shoots him several times in the back.
|
|
DIG: I told you to shut up.
|
|
NERO: Don't get so hotheaded, Dig.
|
|
TUCAN: Oh, man... there goes our precious hostage.
|
|
DIG: I'm not letting anyone tell me what to do. If you got a problem with
|
|
that, step forward!
|
|
Udai approaches Dig.
|
|
DIG: YOU!
|
|
Dig points his gun at Udai. A concealed blade drops from Udai's sleeve down
|
|
to his hand. He slits Dig's throat.
|
|
TUCAN: I remember... You're... yeah... That assassin for the syndicate...
|
|
Udai.
|
|
A bridge on Ganymede. Jet drops a cigarette into the water. A gun is
|
|
pointed at his side. It is his old ISSP partner, Fad.
|
|
FAD: Caught you red-handed tossing a cigarette butt. That would be a fine
|
|
of 20 thousand Woolongs, Jet.
|
|
JET: Then I'll need to collect that loan I gave you with 7 years' worth of
|
|
interest, to cover it... and then some...
|
|
FAD: When did you buy me that coffee? That's long past the statute of
|
|
limitations!
|
|
Fad holsters his six-shooter.
|
|
JET: So you still think you're a gunman with a gun like that? Sure is a
|
|
waste of ISSP tax money.
|
|
FAD: This is?
|
|
JET: No, your salary.
|
|
FAD: Yeah, really...
|
|
Jet offers Fad a cigarette.
|
|
FAD: No, I quit.
|
|
JET: Huh, I see...
|
|
FAD: Tenth day. It's a hard world to live in for smokers, anyway.
|
|
JET: Hmm... I never thought you would... And, what was it that you wanted
|
|
to tell me?
|
|
FAD: There was trouble on the prison transport ship headed for Pluto. That
|
|
was six hours ago. Apparently there was an electrical malfunction. The
|
|
prisoners took advantage of it, and rioted. I don't know the details.
|
|
JET: And?
|
|
FAD: Udai is on that ship. We don't know where the ship went after it left
|
|
the Ganymede Gate. The ISSP is frantically searching.
|
|
JET: Hey, you... don't get any stupid ideas. It's out of your jurisdiction.
|
|
FAD: You think it's a stupid idea? The reason you quit being a cop was...
|
|
because of when -
|
|
JET: Now THAT is past the statute of limitations.
|
|
FAD: If after all this, he lives on wouldn't that left arm of yours cry,
|
|
Jet?
|
|
JET: That story doesn't interest me anymore...
|
|
A dark day long ago. A row of warehouses. Fad and Jet separate.
|
|
FAD: Jet! I'll go around from this side!
|
|
JET: Got it!
|
|
Jet finds Udai standing alone.
|
|
JET: Udai Taxim! You are under arrest!
|
|
A bright light shines into Jet's eyes from above. Jet covers his eyes with
|
|
his left arm.
|
|
JET: A trap?!
|
|
A loud gunshot.
|
|
The prison ship.
|
|
TUCAN: What are ya gonna do? The guys from the ISSP are gonna come any
|
|
minute! And the pilot's dead.
|
|
UDAI: We're gonna break through, of course.
|
|
NERO: Easy for you to say. We only got enough weapons for self-defense.
|
|
What are ya gonna do?
|
|
An inmate named Elroy with a scar on the left side of his face takes the
|
|
controls of the ship.
|
|
ELROY: I'm sure they've set up a barricade. It would be better for us to
|
|
attack and break through where they're thin.
|
|
NERO: Can you steer this thing?
|
|
ELROY: I was a cop on Venus once.
|
|
TUCAN: And now you're imprisoned for life?
|
|
ELROY: Cops are human too...
|
|
The Bebop. Jet opens Hammerhead's hatch. Ed hangs from Hammerhead's hook.
|
|
ED: You got back?
|
|
JET: I'm heading out. It's dangerous, so stand back.
|
|
Ed drops to the floor, landing on her feet.
|
|
ED: You're going out. Get souvenirs!
|
|
JET: Ed... If I don't come back, water the bonsai for me.
|
|
Jet climbs into Hammerhead.
|
|
ED: Yup!
|
|
Ed dances around.
|
|
ED: Bonsai, wise guy, chicken pot pie. Lights shine bright in the many
|
|
towns.
|
|
Space. A fleet of police ships approach the prison ship.
|
|
OFFICER: HQ, do you read? This is Group D-7. We have spotted the prison
|
|
transport ship. The ship is sending an SOS. Apparently they ran
|
|
into some mechanical trouble.
|
|
UDAI: We are releasing a lifeboat. On the boat are 4 officers and 12
|
|
inmates. We're requesting a pickup.
|
|
The lifeboat explodes blowing away the most of the fleet. Gun turrets on
|
|
the prison ship fire, making short work of the rest of the police ships.
|
|
EYECATCH
|
|
Jet and Fad's ship approach scraps of the police ships in space.
|
|
OFFICER: Number 12, Number 13, no response. We request emergency backup.
|
|
Repeat, we request emergency backup. We have lost sight of the
|
|
transport. Current location is seven-four-five. Group D-7,
|
|
initiate code ten-eight. Repeat, we request emergency backup.
|
|
FAD: No good. Apparently the police don't know where they went either.
|
|
JET: What do you think their next move will be?
|
|
FAD: If they are to hijack another ship, they'll be somewhere close to
|
|
their original route, at a place where they can hide.
|
|
JET: I don't think so.
|
|
FAD: What?
|
|
JET: Europa.
|
|
FAD: Europa? What makes you think that?
|
|
JET: If I was Udai, I would go back to Europa.
|
|
FAD: But, Udai is already... He hasn't contacted the syndicate in quite a
|
|
while.
|
|
JET: He is old-fashioned. So much that he's not the right kind of guy to
|
|
live in this day and age... He'll go back. I know it...
|
|
FAD: The Black Dog that won't let go once he bites, huh? OK, Europa it is.
|
|
If you're wrong, you're paying for fuel.
|
|
The Bebop. The showers malfunction.
|
|
FAYE: Wait! What the.. OW! What part of this is fixed!
|
|
The bonsai room. Ed hoses the entire room, over-watering the bonsai. Ein
|
|
jumps at the water. The water runs out. Spike approaches.
|
|
SPIKE: What's this? Jet's gonna have a fit!
|
|
ED: He asked me. He's not comin' back!
|
|
SPIKE: It's okay, just bring something to wipe this up.
|
|
ED: Okay!
|
|
Ed and Ein run off.
|
|
SPIKE What's up with him, leaving his precious bonsai here?
|
|
Faye approaches.
|
|
FAYE: Hey, Jet! What the hell is going on?!
|
|
The prison ship. Udai attempts to contact the syndicate.
|
|
UDAI: It's me.
|
|
VOICE: You seem to have done something outrageous.
|
|
UDAI: We need a new ship.
|
|
VOICE: There is no further relationship between us and Udai Taxim.
|
|
UDAI: Are you betraying me?
|
|
VOICE: If you want to feel that way, go ahead.
|
|
UDAI: I have information.
|
|
VOICE: That threat won't work anymore. Times have changed... while you were
|
|
in prison.
|
|
Jet and Fad's ship. They find the prison ship.
|
|
FAD: You win. He's there.
|
|
JET: We should split up. I'll come around from the other end.
|
|
Jet walks off to board Hammerhead.
|
|
FAD: You're crazy! That ship doesn't have any decent weapons!
|
|
JET: You know how I work better than anyone else, right?
|
|
FAD: Hey, Jet... Why don't you quit being a bounty hunter and pair up with
|
|
me again?
|
|
JET: I'll think about it if we get back.
|
|
The prison ship. They detect Hammerhead and Fad's ship.
|
|
ELROY: Heat source detected.
|
|
TUCAN: Someone after us?
|
|
ELROY: If it's the ISSP, I doubt they would come alone.
|
|
Nero enters with heavy artillery.
|
|
NERO: I found something good in the cargo bay. And we have the perfect
|
|
target.
|
|
Fad's ship.
|
|
FAD: All right, Jet... We'll approach them using this ice for cover. Stay
|
|
there until I signal -
|
|
Jet takes off in Hammerhead.
|
|
FAD: JET!
|
|
The prison ship. Tucan mans a gun turret.
|
|
TUCAN: I don't know who ya are, but we'll give ya a warm welcome!
|
|
He shoots at Hammerhead. Jet dodges the shots. A panel on the prison ship
|
|
opens and Nero in a space suit fires a rocket at Hammerhead. Tucan
|
|
continues firing.
|
|
TUCAN: Here ya go!
|
|
Hammerhead's engine is hit. Jet harpoons the side of the prison ship and
|
|
draws Hammerhead to it. Fad's ship is hit by one of Nero's rockets.
|
|
NERO: Bingo!
|
|
Fad's ship crashes into the side where Nero stands, crushing him.
|
|
Jet ejects his MONO pod and enters the prison ship. Tucan and Udai see him
|
|
with security cameras.
|
|
TUCAN: That guy's got guts to come here alone.
|
|
Jet spots one of the security cameras. He signals in one direction and
|
|
shoots out the camera.
|
|
TUCAN: What the hell is he? Hey, where are you - ?
|
|
UDAI: He's my visitor.
|
|
Air leaks out of the ship, where Fad crashed.
|
|
Tucan runs to the hanger.
|
|
TUCAN: You've got to be kidding. I'm not gonna put up with all of this!
|
|
He opens the hatch to the hanger, not knowing that there is a hole there.
|
|
He is sucked into the vacuum of space.
|
|
A dark hallway. Udai shoots at Jet. Jet dodges. Jet returns fire.
|
|
The control room. Fad loads his six-shooter with one bullet. Elroy is shot
|
|
dead.
|
|
The hallway. Udai and Jet fight.
|
|
UDAI: You came all the way here to see me?
|
|
JET: I didn't come here because I wanted to!
|
|
Udai wrestles Jet to the floor. He steps on Jet's right hand.
|
|
UDAI: Don't say that, I came out here just to greet you.
|
|
He aims his gun and shoots at Jet's face. Jet blocks the bullet with his
|
|
robotic left arm.
|
|
JET: I didn't want to come but something else wanted to see you...
|
|
UDAI: What?
|
|
JET: The left arm that I lost!
|
|
Jet head butts Udai. Udai tosses a blade into Jet's left leg.
|
|
UDAI: What a happy camper you are. You never knew anything, did you?
|
|
Jet pulls out the blade.
|
|
JET: What?
|
|
UDAI: I wasn't the one who shot you back then. It was your partner. It was
|
|
all planned out from the beginning. To get rid of you, who was a
|
|
threat to the syndicate. You were long since betrayed. You were
|
|
used -
|
|
Fad shoots Udai in the head.
|
|
JET: Why did you shoot? Was it because he was telling the truth? You came
|
|
here to shut him up for good? Why aren't you answering me?!
|
|
FAD: It was your fault, Jet. It ended up this way because you went in on
|
|
your own. You know what happens to people who go against the
|
|
syndicate, right? Either they all quit like you... or they die. We
|
|
can't live on with our pretty little ideals.
|
|
JET: That's why you betrayed me and kept fooling me?!
|
|
FAD: I wanted to team up with you like back then.
|
|
Fad points his gun at Jet.
|
|
FAD: Time for farewells, Jet.
|
|
As Fad pulls the trigger, Jet ducks, grabs a gun and shoots him. Fad falls.
|
|
JET: Fad!
|
|
FAD: Jet...
|
|
Jet examines his gun and sees that it was only loaded with one bullet.
|
|
JET: You didn't... Did you let me shoot on purpose?
|
|
FAD: Can I have... a smoke?
|
|
Jet puts a cigarette in his mouth and lights it.
|
|
FAD: I guess... I couldn't quit smoking...
|
|
Fad dies.
|
|
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...
