Cowboy Bebop
Season 01
E08 - Waltz for Venus
Three ship hijackers on their way to Venus get intercepted by the Bebop crew and the bounty is collected. A man named Rocco, carrying a wrapped package, spots Spike and tries to rush at him. Rocco is impressed when he gets knocked down and asks for Spikes mentoring and knowledge on how to fight better. Spike reluctantly teaches him to be more fluid in his fighting and after a sudden face-off with some gang members, Rocco gives him the package to take care of until they can meet again the next day. At the Bebop, they find out the package contains a rare plant that can cure Venus sickness. Faye wants to sell it but Jet thinks its too dangerous to sell something so recently stolen. Spike finds out Rocco stole the plant to sell and pay for surgery to restore his sisters eyesight. The gang he stole from come after him and after an intense gunfight where Rocco manages to successfully implement a move he learned from Spike, both the rare flower and Rocco die. Luckily, a few seeds were hidden away in a music box that Roccos sister kept, and thus, even in death, he was able to help her get the surgery.
