Episode 6 - Sympathy for the Devil

Spike and Jet are going after Giraffe, a man with a 3 million woolong bounty. However, Fatty River, another bounty hunter, is also going after Giraffe. Jet distracts Fatty while Spike goes after the bounty. Giraffe trails the harmonica player, who is with a man in a wheelchair, to a hotel, where Giraffe gets shot and falls out the window. Spike catches him with his fighter, but before Giraffe dies, he warns Spike not to be deceived by the man's appearence. He also gives Spike a stone, but doesn't tell him what for.

Jet talks to Fatty, and learns that Giraffe was going after Zebra, the boy's father (and the one in the wheelchair), because Zebra had betrayed him during a mission. Jet and Faye also find out that the kid, Wen, hasn't aged in 30 years, and the man in the picture who is supposedly Zebra is different looking. However, Spike has followed Wen and the man in the wheelchair again, only to be shot in the arm by Wen.

Wen tells Spike that he has been around since before humans started to colonize other planets. One day, a hyperspace gate exploded and since then, he hasn't aged and is immortal. Wen demands the ring that Giraffe gave him. When Spike refuses, Wen shoots at him. Spike retrieves his gun and returns fire, hitting Wen, yet he manages to get away. Spike takes the man in the wheelchair back to the Bebop and hooks him up to the alpha-catch, a device that enables to see images in the man's mind. They learn that the stone will kill Wen.

Spike tips one of his bullets with the gem and goes after Wen. Wen shoots three times, each one of them missing Spike. Spike shoots and hits Wen in the center of his forehead. Immediately, Wen starts to morph from a boy to an old man and finally dies.
