The story begins when a prison transport ship, carrying inmates from the ISSP (Inter Solar System Police), is taken over by the prisoners. Among the escapees is Udai Taxim, a former syndicate assassin and the man responsible for Jet losing his arm years ago.

This session is widely regarded as essential viewing because it transforms Jet from the "Bebop's" father figure into a deeply tragic and complex protagonist.

True to its noir roots, the episode uses heavy shadows, mechanical industrial backdrops, and a haunting blues-inspired soundtrack to mirror Jet's internal state. Production Credits Director: Shinichirō Watanabe Writer: Keiko Nobumoto Music: Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts
