The Mandalorian obliges and joins the passengers. In the cockpit, Zero takes the ship into hyperspace and tells the Mandalorian that he will pilot the ship. In the cargo hold, Xi'an tells Burg to sit down, but he knocks the dagger out of her hand in retaliation, she hisses at him. The Mandalorian departs the space station with Ran's crew aboard the Razor Crest. When the Mandalorian asks how he can trust the droid, Ran replies he doesn't trust anybody. Ran reassures the Mandalorian is the best. Zero says that he is quicker and smarter than organics. Ran says that the team needs him on the trigger, rather than the wheel. The Mandalorian thinks this is not possible, but Mayfeld replies that is why Zero will be the pilot. His plan is to board the ship through their blind spot. Mayfeld adds that they need a ship that can jam New Republic codes. Ran responds that the Razor Crest is off both Imperial and New Republic grids, making it a ghost. He asks why they are not using newer ships. Zero reports that the ship is a mess despite recent qualifications citing leaking hyperlinks, intermittent navigation, and that the hyperdrive is operating at 67.3% efficiency. Xi'an tells the Mandalorian that the ship is crewed by droids, appealing to his anti-droid sentiment. Ran says a job is a job, but the Mandalorian is reluctant to get into trouble with the New Republic. The Mandalorian points out that this is a New Republic Correctional Transport they are raiding, meaning that their friend was arrested by the authorities. They have a limited window to infiltrate the ship and recover the prisoner before it jumps into hyperspace.

Briefing the team, Mayfeld tells the group that the package is being moved in a fortified transport ship. While checking the Razor Crest 's systems, Zero encounters a garbled hologram transmission from Greef Karga. Burg sizes up the Mandalorian and derides him, calling him 'tiny.' Ran tells the lovebirds to break it up before leaving with the others. She waves a dagger before trying to flirt with the Mandalorian, whom she had a relationship with in the past. Xi'an asks the Mandalorian why she shouldn't kill him where he stands. Mayfeld is disdainful of the Razor Crest, likening it to a ' Canto Bight slot machine.' Mayfeld introduces the Mandalorian to his other associates including the Devaronian Burg, the droid Zero, and a female Twi'lek named Xi'an. He says that Mayfeld was an Imperial sharpshooter, which Din says is not saying much, in response Mayfeld who is offended says that he was not a stormtrooper. Ran tells the Mandalorian that Mayfeld is in charge of the mission. The Mandalorian replies that it was a long time ago.

When he asks what the 'Mando' got out of it, Ran says that he got target practice out of it. With little choice, Ran introduces him to a bald human male associate named Migs Mayfeld, telling him that the Mandalorian is an old associate who brought them some reputation. The Mandalorian disagrees but Ran says that the Razor Crest is the only reason he let him back in here. Ran says that he needs the Mandalorian's ship. He explains that he needs the Mandalorian for a five person job. Ran tells the Mandalorian that one of their associates ran afoul of some competitors and that he is putting together a crew to spring him. Ran tells the Mandalorian that he is welcome here any time.

Ran is aware of the trouble between the Mandalorian and the Bounty Hunters' Guild. The Mandalorian is greeted by a bearded man named Ranzar Malk, known as 'Ran,' who did not expect to see him and is surprised that he reached out to him. The Razor Crest lands in a space station hangar bay. The Mandalorian is part of a crew of mercinaries springing a convict from a prison ship.
