(Narrator): Vicious and Lin point there weapons readily at Spike. All is quiet until Spike opens his mouth…breathing heavily.
"Are you sleeping with Julia!" Spike asked.
Vicious looked around for a moment then asked, "What was that voice? Are there cops here?"
"Don't change the subject! Did you or did you not fuck Julia!"
"I did not have sexual relations with…oh wait yes I did. Many times as a matter of fact."
Lin interrupted the conversation between the two men and proceeded to aim his gun at Spike's chest. Spike looked at him with a confused look on his face and said, "What are doing Lin?"
But Lin ignored him and fired his gun. Spike dropped onto the snow covered ground.
(Narrator): In Gren's apartment. Gren confesses everything to Faye.
Gren removed his arms from the cold wall and let them drop at his warm sides. He sighed, "I was fighting at Vicious's side during Titan. We were all comrades…so long ago…"
Faye raised her head and met Gren's sorrow-stricken eyes. "Gren, would you please put some pants on before you tell me something serious like this?"
"Oh…my apologies." Gren walked into his bedroom and went through his draw. Then he proceeded to put his pants on. "Okay, I'm done. Now, where were we?"
"Um…" Faye hesitated.
"Ugh. What's wrong now?"
"You didn't put any underwear on."
"…Let me continue my story."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Where was I?"
"You and Vicious were lovers-- I mean comrades."
"Yeah, I long time ago…"
(Narrator): Years ago, during the Titan War.
A younger Gren heard a music box playing from near by and because he was curious he wanted to go see what it was. So, he walked over to a man who held the music box in his rough and cut hands. "Hey, what's the name of that song?" Gren asked.
Gren could tell that Vicious was a man of few words. He didn't need words to describe what he was feeling for his actions said it all. Vicious looked up at Gren with a very stern look in his eyes and said, "Julia…"
Gren nodded, "That's a nice song. I would love to play that on my sax."
Vicious placed the music box into Gren's smooth and dusty hands. Gren looked surprised for a moment but formed a slight smile on his face.
(Narrator): Back in present time at Gren's apartment.
"He protected me from a scorpion. Saved my life. But, it turns out that he later betrayed me. I still can't believe that for sure. I was later imprisoned because they thought I was a spy. I suffered so much pain in there that I had to stop it somehow. So, I became a drug addict. Because I used the drugs my hormones became unbalanced, and this was the result of that. I have to go see for myself…if he really betrayed me."
"Gren, you can't just bring someone to your apartment and then go off on some suicide mission."
"It's my only choice. I have no other option."
"You can't go you stubborn ass! I won't let you!" Faye began to fire her gun at him but he dodged each bullet and removed the gun from her hand.
"If I don't go now, I may never get a chance to. I've been waiting for him for years now. I must go. Oh, and make sure you feed my fish while I'm gone."
Spike stayed still on the hard ground. His body was frozen but in his mind thoughts kept flowing. He thought of his past life with Julia and Vicious. He thought of his present life with Faye and Jet. He heard there voices running continuously through his head.
"Spike…"
"Julia…is that you?"
"Yes, Spike, it's me."
"I feel like I'm watching I dream."
"Yeah, just a dream."
"Spike…"
"Who is it now?"
"It's Faye, Spike."
"W-what do you want?"
"It's good to see you've finally woke up. You've been sleeping for too long."
"Spike, you betrayed me."
"V-Vicious? You left me here to die."
"Your eyes are different colors."
"Oh, Julia, you came back…"
"Why are they different?"
"My left eye sees the past. My right…"
(Narrator): Back in the alley where Faye was attacked. Jet continues his search for Spike and Faye.
Jet spotted a man huddled in a corner by a dumpster. He was crouched in a fetal position and rocking his body back and forth.
"Excuse me, do you know where the Orlando apartment is?"
The man froze and responded, "N-no I d-don't k-know of a-a-a-any a-a-part-m-m--"
"Uh, you know what I'll just find it myself. It has to be somewhere around here. Orlando, Orlando where have you gone? Oh where, oh where could you beeeeee? There it is!"
Jet opened the door to Gren's apartment and searched around. He found Faye cuffed to the bed post in Gren's bedroom. Jet scratched his head, "So he's that type."
Faye defended him, "No! It's not what it looks like. Well, it is what it looks like, but not to the extent your thinking of."
"Sheesh, I can't leave your side for one minute and already your off doing this! Spike was right about you."
"Let me guess, he said I'm a hooker."
"No, he told me you have a fetish for beds."
"Uh, come again?"
"That's right…I know your little secret. You sneak into people's apartments and claim your bed. So, what do you plan on doing with this one?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Come on! We haven't got time for this. Spike is gonna do somethin' stupid!"
"Figures…"
(Narrator): Back at the vacant lot. Spike wakes up and touches his chest. He realizes that there is a crow on it.
"Hey bird…do you know which way those guys went?"
The bird flew away.
"Gee, thanks a lot you little shit."
Spike examined his chest more and pulled out the dart that was in it. "A tranquillizer gun! There messing with me…"
Spike received a call from Jet, "Hey, Spike, there's this bounty named Gren. He was under the codename "Julia" and he's an escaped convict. You catch him and maybe we can work out a compromise." CLICK.
Vicious received a call from Gren. "I'm waiting, Gren."
"Come to the roof of the building. A woman I sent will be there."
"Too bad you couldn't join the party. I would have liked to see your face in person."
Jet and Faye sat inside Jet's ship, the Hammerhead. Jet turned his head toward Faye, "Why did you leave us that letter?"
"Because I felt like it, bed-wetter."
"Did you think we would find you, bed-fetisher.?"
"…Oh real original….besides I don't have a fetish for beds. So, who's this Julia chick everyone has been blabbin' about."
"Hm, beets me. Although I know she's connected to Spike somehow."
Faye sighed, "Spike huh…."
(Narrator): On top of a building.
"Drop the bag." Vicious demanded. The woman wrapped in cloth dropped the bag.
Lin picked the bag up and searched through it, "Yup. It's real red-eye."
Vicious nodded, "Hand it over then."
Lin handed the bag over to Vicious and placed a suitcase next the woman's feet. "In the suitcase is what you requested."
Vicious began to walk away but a familiar voice stopped him in his tracks.
"You stopped that scorpion from ripping off my face, but betrayed me behind my back!"
"Hmph, hello Gren." Vicious replied.
Gren removed the white cloth that was hiding his identity. He no longer had the warm smile on his face that he always had in the past. His eyes were stern. He kicked the suitcase toward Vicious and Vicious shot at it till it opened, which contained an explosive device. The suitcase exploded. Lin fell to the ground, impacted by the explosion. He laid on the ground in pain. Spike (from a distance) hears the explosion and made his way toward it.
Gren spoke, "Did you give me that music box because you knew I'd never open it?"
Vicious laughed, "So you found the transmitter?"
"No. Julia found it. As soon as I told her you gave it to me she opened it and found the transmitter."
"What's your point?"
"We fought side by side in Titan. We were comrades…we…we…I trusted you!"
"Yeah, well things change. I'm through with you. Besides, your just a waste of my time."
Gren cocked his gun and fired it at Vicious but Lin blocked it with his body. Lin was killed by the blow.
Vicious grabbed the bag and threw it into his ship. "Trust no one."
Gren ran to his ship and went after Vicious and Spike as well. Both Spike and Gren fired at Vicious. Vicious fired back with two missiles at Gren's ship. It hit his engine and Gren's ship began to drop down. Suddenly, Vicious hears the music box playing Julia inside the bag with the red-eye drug. The music box exploded, damaging a wing on Vicious's ship. Spike landed the Swordfish next to the crash site and walked to where Gren was sprawled across the pavement.
Spike lifted his head, "Where is Julia?"
Gren looked into his eyes, "Did you know her?"
"Not really…"
"Oh…you must…be Spike. She told me a lot about you. She…told me that…you had one fake eye."
"Yeah, I see the past in one eye and--"
"Could you shut-up? I'm trying to tell you something."
"I'm sorry, you can continue."
"I forgot what I was going to say."
"Damn, your bleeding all over the place. I guess you'll die soon anyway, so let me put you in your ship and launch you off into space…okay?"
"No."
Spike proceeded to lift him up an carry him to his ship.
"Look, you idiot, I said no!" Gren retaliated.
Spike placed him inside his ship and began to prepare the Swordfish for the launch.
"I'm not dead." Gren said.
Spike closed the doors to his ship and walked back to his.
"But I'm not dead yet!"
(Narrator): Spike launches his ship into space and for one last time Gren finds peace near Titan.
"No I don't!"
Hush, your supposed to be dead. Don't make me shoot you.
(Narrator): Back at the Bebop all five of the Backstreet--I mean the gang resides. Faye is seen doing Ed's nails.
"Sooooo, where'd you guys go?" Ed asked.
"Nowhere special but it was nice."
"Ohhh, no one tells Ed anything!"
"Relax, Ed, I'll tell you about someday."
