Jupiter Jazz (Part 2)
Gren tells Faye about how he and Vicious served together in the war on Titan. He also tells her about what happened to him after they parted ways, how he went to prison, and how he got to be the way he is now. He suspects that Vicious is at least partly responsible for his arrest.
Jet is looking for Gren because there's a bounty on his head. He finds Faye instead. Gren left her handcuffed in his apartment after she got angry and started shooting at him.
Spike wakes up to discover that he is still alive. Lin shot him with tranquilizer rounds. Does Vicous know that? Probably not. Julia, Spike's old flame, passed through Jupiter in the not too distant past.
Gren meets with Vicious. He's disguised so his former comrade in arms doesn't recognize him. Gren is there ostensibly to sell Vicious some drugs, Red Eye, but he's also there for payback. Gren looked up to Vicious and Vicious sold him down the river. Gren almost gets the payback he was looking for, but Lin jumps in the way of one of his shots. Lin is killed. No one seems to care except Spike who comes swoops in when he hears the gunfire.
Gren and Vicious take to the air but their fight ends after Gren shoots him down, mortally wounding him. Spike takes on Vicious but he escapes. Spike goes to see Gren. Gren wants to get back in his spacecraft and head to Titan, the last place he was truly happy. He tells Spike about Julia
I watched this one twice but the ending didn't fully work for me. I think that there were just a few too many pieces in this one. It's a shame because up until the ending I was digging the ride.
