Well, he has about three of those daydreams in this episode. You know, the kind that shows darkness about him can only be caused by the death of the woman he loves. It’s tough out there for a bounty hunter. Why? Well, parking, maintenance fees on their ship, and, oh yeah, paying for the damage to the floating Bally’s death star casino. They eventually patch up the hole and have Tanaka to themselves, but they lose more money than he was worth. They are in a floating casino-kind of like if the Death Star went Vegas style. Everyone then gets sucked towards the hole because, as they look outside, they see the great beyond - space. He tells them not to fire that in here, but he does, creating a giant hole in the wall behind them and all sorts of stuff begins to levitate, Like, coins, pens, guns, bullet casings, and, you know, them. He then pulls out, to more of Jet Black’s chagrin, a disrupter. That’s when a Paul Walter Hauser type walks out of the bathroom, the last living member of Tanaka’s team. Because if they don’t bring in Tanaka or members of his team alive, they don’t get paid. So, he takes out most of their team to the disapproval of his partner, Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir). Spike is quite versed in weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. No worries because his name is Spike Siegal (John Cho), and he is a paid bounty hunter who is bringing in the leader of the group, Tanaka. He is treated with a dozen or so guns pointing directly at him.

Meanwhile, a man steps off the elevator listening to some jazz on his noise-canceling headphones. They are downloading all what I can imagine in the future would be all the crypto in the place into some sort of space Cayman Islands account. Their leader, showing signs of being coked out of his mind, tells them to wait. It’s taking too long, one of them says - clearly the pragmatist of the group. The opener has a group of very diverse thugs shooting staff and patrons in the head one at a time on a casino floor. And most importantly, they turn in criminals for money.

So, the Solar System Police (ISSP) has contracted legalized deputies from the pool of registered bounty hunters across the galaxy. Of course, crime is rampant with everyone trying to stake a claim in their very piece of intergalactic land. So, most of humanity has traveled and colonized into the great void - on various moons and desolate planets all over the solar system. The year is 2071, and Earth is practically uninhabitable.
