Cowboy Bebop
Season 01
E05 - Ballad of Fallen Angels
Rivals of two Martian crime syndicates form a truce that is interrupted when a man named Vicious (Cowboy Bebop)|Vicious comes in with henchmen to kill them all. Spike has past ties to one of the aforementioned crime syndicates, the Red Dragon, but refuses to explain further to a frustrated Jet (who likewise has his own past, regarding his prosthetic arm, that he refuses to divulge). Spike tries to get information from an old contact named Annie, who had thought him dead for years. Returning to the Bebop for enough ammo to pay back a debt and face off against Vicious, Spike gets a video message revealing Faye had been captured by Vicious after trying to go after a bounty on the Red Dragon crime boss, whom Vicious had already killed. An impressive fight at a cathedral results in Spike being flung out a window, seeing his past life flash before his eyes, but ultimately surviving with Faye beside him back on the Bebop.
