Episode 3 - Honky Tonk Women

Faye Valentine, a skilled gambler, is blackmailed into working at a casino. Spike and Jet come to the casino, hoping to get a few woolongs. Jet sticks to the slot machines, while Spike wanders around the casino, eventually ending up at Faye's blackjack table. A picture of the man the casino owner is looking for appears on a screen under the table, and Faye believe Spike is that man. The casino owner told her that a man would sit at the table, lose at a certain point, and give her a special chip as a dealer's chip. Once she gave that chip to the casino owner, he would clear her debt.

However, Spike takes the chip and leaves. He bumps into the real man, knocking him over, and the two unknowingly exchange chips. As Faye confronts Spike, two security guards notice and come over. Chaos erupts.

Back on the Bebop, Spike and Jet, who have imprisoned Faye in the bathroom, learn about the chip, which actually contains a microchip with a decryption program called Crypt-Breaker. As Jet's analyzing the chip, Spike learns that Faye had a 6,000,000 woolong bounty on her. The casino owner's ship catches up with them and Spike and Jet arrange to make a trade.

During the deal, the man tries to kill Spike. However, Faye shows up and distracts the casino owner, also taking the money case, leaving Spike and Jet penniless again.
