|
Faye watches the beta tape in the darkness of her room. She pauses it at a shot of a stone lion head fountain. She closely examines it. Suddenly she
|
|
is startled by the presence of a dreary Ed.
|
|
FAYE: S-Since when were you...
|
|
ED: Water sploosh...
|
|
FAYE: You know this?
|
|
ED: I think I know, I don't think I know. I don't think I know that I know.
|
|
I think I know even though I don't think I know...
|
|
FAYE: Which is it?!
|
|
Ed falls asleep.
|
|
FAYE: Hey!
|
|
Faye grabs Ed and blows air into her mouth.

HARD LUCK WOMAN
|
|
Earth. Spike brushes his teeth on the deck of the Bebop. Jet rushes out.
|
|
JET: Hey, Spike, where the hell are we?!
|
|
SPIKE: Isn't it Earth?
|
|
JET: Earth?! Hey, this ship was headed for Mars! Why the hell are we on
|
|
Earth all of a sudden?!
|
|
SPIKE: Dunno.
|
|
JET: Shit, this isn't funny. While we're wasting time, our fugitive - It
|
|
was the first big one in a while... In any case, why the hell are we
|
|
on - ?
|
|
SPIKE: Jet. The women are gone.
|
|
Faye flies in Red Tail. Ed is strapped to the top.
|
|
FAYE: Listen, if you lead me to that "water sploosh" place I'll give you
|
|
something good.
|
|
ED: Good thing? What?
|
|
FAYE: Something very, tremendously, wonderfully good.
|
|
ED: Something very, tremendously, wonderfully good!
|
|
A meteor crashes on a patch of land. A truck approaches it. Two mapmakers,
|
|
Appledelhi and Macintire rush down into the crater to measure it. Their
|
|
feet are burned.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: HOT! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
|
|
In a pile of rubble. Ed digs up a watering can. ED: This! Water sploosh!
|
|
FAYE: I knew I shouldn't have trusted you...
|
|
A group of orphans emerge from the rubble and approach them.
|
|
CHILD: Hey, I found Ed!
|
|
ED: Ed has been found?
|
|
FAYE: What, you know them?
|
|
The children circle Faye. A boy named Sean randomly counts.
|
|
SEAN: 35 point 38 point 0, 35 point 48 point 1 , 35 point 48 point 2 -
|
|
A boy named Cain shoves a strange mechanical object in Faye's face.
|
|
CAIN: This! This, this, this!
|
|
A girl named Zuzu with a jar of yellow nails approaches Faye.
|
|
ZUZU: Hey, can I have your nails?
|
|
FAYE: Nails?
|
|
ZUZU: I'm collecting them!
|
|
She pulls out a clipper.
|
|
ZUZU: Can I, please? Just the pinky one will do!
|
|
SEAN: 35 point 52 point 3, 35 point...
|
|
CAIN: This, this!
|
|
ZUZU: Come on... can I have it? Please?
|
|
The nun caring for these children, Sister Clara, turns on a hose.
|
|
CLARA: What are you guys?!
|
|
She sprays Faye. A children hide behind a small pile of junk. Suddenly
|
|
Clara notices Ed.
|
|
FAYE: HEY!
|
|
Clara notices Ed.
|
|
CLARA: ED?! Is that really you... Ed?
|
|
An orphanage. The roof is decorated with pinwheels.
|
|
CLARA: I'm sorry about that. That's the best way to make the kids listen.
|
|
Faye dries her hair with a towel.
|
|
FAYE: It's all right. Is Ed from this place?
|
|
CLARA: She wandered in about five years ago. Before I knew it, she was
|
|
eating with us as if it had always been that way. And about three
|
|
years ago, she wandered away. As if she was a cat or something. I
|
|
was wondering how she was doing nowadays but I didn't think she
|
|
would suddenly appear.
|
|
Clara raises her voice.
|
|
CLARA: All right, it's time to eat!
|
|
The children gather around the table.
|
|
CLARA: Our Father who art in heaven... Never mind the rest. Let's eat!
|
|
CHILDREN: Let's eat!
|
|
The children eat heartily. Faye stares at the fish head in her bowl.
|
|
FAYE: I have to get going now...
|
|
CLARA: What, you can stay longer, right?
|
|
FAYE: I'm actually looking for something...
|
|
ED: Ed knows where it is. We just came here for food.
|
|
FAYE: You...
|
|
ED: You have to gimme something good!
|
|
CLARA: Oh yeah, Ed. There's something good in the desk drawer over there.
|
|
ED: Something good?
|
|
CLARA: Go get it.
|
|
ED: Something good!
|
|
Ed runs to the drawer.
|
|
CLARA: Inside that drawer.
|
|
Ed picks up Cain's object.
|
|
CLARA: Not that.
|
|
Ed picks up a compact hologram projector.
|
|
CLARA: Yeah, that. Open it!
|
|
Ed opens it. It projects an image of Appledelhi.
|
|
CLARA: Her father.
|
|
FAYE: WHOSE?
|
|
CLARA: He came looking for Ed about 2 months ago. He said he forgot that he
|
|
had put her in a day care center and that he had been looking for
|
|
seven years, hopping around the world. I hope she will be able to
|
|
meet him... People have to cherish what ties they have...
|
|
A crater. Appledelhi and Macintire chart the new formation. The map is
|
|
updated.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Yeah!
|
|
The Lion Head Fountain. Stay stand by it. The place is now in ruins. An
|
|
elderly woman in a wheelchair approaches Faye. She is Sally Yung, a former
|
|
classmate.
|
|
SALLY: Are you... Faye?
|
|
Faye turns around.
|
|
SALLY: Impossible... Really? It's me, Sally Yung! I was in your high school
|
|
graduating class!
|
|
Sally coughs.
|
|
FAYE: Are you all right?
|
|
SALLY: I was really surprised. I thought you were a ghost. You look just
|
|
like back then... You know, they say ghosts appear in places where
|
|
they have regrets... Oh, yeah, I remember now. You were put in cold
|
|
sleep after that accident. And that's why you look like back then...
|
|
FAYE: Accident?
|
|
SALLY: You don't remember, Faye?
|
|
FAYE: I-I...
|
|
A little girls runs toward Sally.
|
|
GIRL: Grandma! Grandma, we gotta go back now.
|
|
SALLY: Is it that time already? Do you know who this is? I bet you don't
|
|
know.
|
|
The girl looks at Faye.
|
|
SALLY: Actually, she's -
|
|
Faye smiles.
|
|
FAYE: - a ghost. Good-bye. Take care.
|
|
Faye runs off, grabs Ed and takes off.
|
|
EYECATCH
|
|
The Bebop. Faye and Ed return.
|
|
JET: Hey, you guys! What's with this course change without asking?! Our
|
|
plans have all been screwed because of it! I don't appreciate you
|
|
doing things on your own!
|
|
Faye stares at Jet. Jet is silent. Faye goes into her room.
|
|
Ed's room. Ein walks in.
|
|
ED: You want to smell something really good?
|
|
Ed lets Ein smell the hologram projector.
|
|
The living room.
|
|
JET: What's with them? What are they being so secretive about?
|
|
SPIKE: Leave them alone.
|
|
JET: Maybe they're too hungry for their own good. Humans go insane if they
|
|
don't eat food.
|
|
Spike sees new bounty data on the monitor. It is Appledelhi.
|
|
SPIKE: 50 million...?
|
|
JET: I see... pretty big. Appledelhi Siniz Hesap Lutfen.
|
|
Parked near the water, Appledelhi eats raw eggs.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Would you like one, Mackenroe?
|
|
MACINTIRE: That's Macintire. No thank you, Mr. Appledelhi.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: You sure? Eggs are good. As they say, power and charge. That's
|
|
what's important, Macintosh.
|
|
MACINTIRE: That's Macintire. Why is it that you can't ever remember your
|
|
assistant's name?
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Hm, don't worry about the small things in life.
|
|
A meteor crashes. Appledelhi climbs back into the ship.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Hurry, Macky-Mike!
|
|
MACINTIRE: That's Macintire!
|
|
They speed off.
|
|
The Bebop. Faye suddenly regains a memory. She remembers the shuttle
|
|
accident.
|
|
Faye bumps into Spike in the hallway.
|
|
SPIKE: Watch where you're going! Hey...?
|
|
Faye stares blankly. She looks at Spike.
|
|
FAYE: Sorry...
|
|
Spike looks at Faye confused.
|
|
SPIKE: Sorry?
|
|
FAYE: I-I... I have to go...
|
|
The deck. Faye prepares to leave in Red Tail. Ed pops up.
|
|
ED: Going out? Where are you going?
|
|
FAYE: I finally remembered where I belong.
|
|
ED: Where you belong?
|
|
FAYE: You have someone waiting for you too... You have somewhere you
|
|
belong. You should go look for it, too. That's the best thing, you
|
|
know...
|
|
Faye takes off.
|
|
The Bebop.
|
|
JET: This one is a piece of cake. 50 million is right there! If they can
|
|
eat sukiyaki with meat, then they -
|
|
SPIKE: Faye went out.
|
|
JET: Again? Where the hell did she go this time? A woman's heart and the
|
|
skies of Ganymede, was it...?
|
|
A crater. Jet points a gun at Appledelhi.
|
|
SPIKE: You're Appledelhi? Can you come along with us?
|
|
JET: Cooperate with us if you don't wanna get hurt.
|
|
MACINTIRE: Who are you guys? Don't interrupt our work!
|
|
JET: Work?
|
|
APPLEDELHI: This Earth of wild chaos! What do we need to do to regain a
|
|
peaceful peace and end the chaos here? That is a map! A map!
|
|
Yes, happiness comes in the form of a map!
|
|
MACINTIRE: We are creating maps to save the Earth!
|
|
JET: A map...? But meteors fall often and change the landscape.
|
|
MACINTIRE: That's why we're globe trotting. We're chasing after every
|
|
meteor! Until every single meteor falls onto Earth!
|
|
Jet looks at Spike with skepticism. Spike draws his gun.
|
|
SPIKE: Enough with the excuses!
|
|
Appledelhi throws two eggs, hitting Jet in the head and Spike's guns.
|
|
SPIKE: You!
|
|
Spike rushes forward, throwing punches at Appledelhi. He dodges and head
|
|
butts Spike.
|
|
SPIKE: I wasn't expecting someone this adept.
|
|
Spike rushes forward again and Appledelhi defeats him. Again, and Spike
|
|
loses again. Suddenly the Bebop lands in front of them advancing pass the
|
|
shoreline and crashing into the land.
|
|
JET: Is that you, Ed?!
|
|
SPIKE: That's enough! Stop!
|
|
It stops in front of Appledelhi. Ed looks down from the deck. Appledelhi
|
|
looks up. He smiles and opens his arm.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Francoise!
|
|
Ed dives down and Appledelhi catches her by her ankles. He swings her round
|
|
and round and catches her.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: How's that? And that, and that?
|
|
Ed walks forward and introduces Appledelhi to Spike and Jet.
|
|
ED: This is father-person.
|
|
SPIKE: Father...?
|
|
JET: Your father?
|
|
SPIKE: She had such a thing?
|
|
Ed introduces Spike and Jet to Appledelhi.
|
|
ED: This is Spike-person and Jet-person.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: I see.
|
|
He walks forward and head butts Spike to the ground.
|
|
ED: No, father. Good people.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Oh? I see. Thank you for taking care of my son. Or was it
|
|
daughter? Oh, well, it's all right either way. That's a token
|
|
of my appreciation.
|
|
He putts a basket of eggs on Spike.
|
|
JET: Then, Ed, were you the one who put the bounty on...
|
|
Jet rereads the bounty data and notices a decimal point in the number
|
|
instead of a comma.
|
|
JET: Fifty point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero? Only 50 Woolongs...?
|
|
APPLEDELHI: So, you wanna come with me?
|
|
Another meteor crashes in the horizon.
|
|
APPLEDELHI: Hurry, Michael-duck!
|
|
MACINTIRE: That's Macintire!
|
|
They speed off.
|
|
ED: Hey, wait! Father! He's gone.
|
|
Elsewhere. Faye returns to her former home and finds that it is no more.
|
|
All that is left is a fountain with a broken lion head and an empty lot.
|
|
The Bebop. Ed gives Spike a pinwheel and leaves. Jet cooks the eggs in the
|
|
kitchen. Ein senses something, looks up at Jet and heads for the door. He
|
|
gives Jet one more look and then leaves. Outside, Ein gives the Bebop
|
|
another look, begins to head back, then turns around and head for Ed.
|
|
Jet looks into the living room.
|
|
JET: Hey, it's dinner time...
|
|
The living room is empty.
|
|
Jet finds Spike in the control room looking out on the deck.
|
|
JET: Spike, dinner.
|
|
On the deck, Ed has written "Bye Bye" with a large smiley face.
|
|
The empty lot. Faye draws a rectangle on the ground where her bed would
|
|
have been, then lies down and watches the sunset.
|
|
The Bebop. Jet and Spike eat their share of the eggs alone.
|
|
Earth. Ein finds Ed.
|
|
ED: You can't come with me, Ein. Ed is going someplace far, far away. I
|
|
might not be coming back. So, Ein, you should go back home.
|
|
Ein whines.
|
|
ED: Do you want to come with Ed?
|
|
The Bebop. Spike and Jet begin to eat the rest of the eggs.
|
|
Earth.
|
|
ED: Let's go, Ein!
|
|
Ein barks.
|
|
The two run into the sunset.
|
|
SEE YOU COWGIRL,
|
|
SOMEDAY, SOMEWHERE!
|

JET: Everything has a beginning... and an end. Life is just a cycle of
|
|
them. With unwanted endings, becoming an adult is to experience the
|
|
inevitable finale. It's been a fast trip for Bebop, with only two
|
|
episodes left. But make sure you pay close attention to how it ends.
