What's up?
Hey, huh. I just hooked into a feed from Ganymede and... uh, when you sent that message to Fred Johnson, you didn't give him our names or anything, did you?
No, of course not...
Well partner, it's gonna be kinda hard for you to stay anonymous now [Stepping aside, revealing the feed from Ganymede with the sign "Remember the Cant" and a stencil of Holden on it]
[To Holden] Let me know if you want your face to look a little different...
[To Naomi] You've done this before
Yeah, about once a week...
You're doing great.
Transponders are designed not to be tampered with. Civilian models fuse themselves into lumps of molten graphite if they get messed with. We could be a supernova a few seconds from now...
Well, we won't have to worry about Tycho, would we?
We need to give the ship a new name to complete the override.
Screamin' firehawk
[Derisive] Yeah, let's advertise we're a gunship...
Flyin' Alamo
No!
Give me something, please...
Rocinante!
Huh?
It's spanish for...
...workhorse - I like it. I know a lady named Rocinante, she was good to me.
Whatever - punch it...
I'm just the messenger, I have half a platoon of pissed-off Martian marines who are just itching for some payback.
Huh. That's a corvette-class Martian frigate that typically crews thirty. I only see two of you. That tells me that you're trying hard to hide your numbers. Tactically, if there were more, as a show of force you would've brought them out. I'm guessing there are two to four people left on your ship. And I'm confident that there's no Martian Navy on board. If they were, they'd be out here speaking with me now. You walked off that ship, because you're in charge. At least you think you are. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have broadcast your transponder and your position to the entire system. Coming here was your only option. But it was also your best option. Now, you want to continue to play games, or shall we talk about how to help each other?
You took an innocent kid and you forced her to do your dirty work.
No! She came to me. Asked me to help her. She knew what she was doing. She was willing to make a sacrifice for us. It's more than you.
She trusted you, she put herself in your hands 'cause she couldn't see the blood on 'em. Just like your sister. Isn't that right? Wasn't she like 15 when you let her die out on the Belt? Sure. It's part of the legend you like to leave out.
Would you like me to tell you the real story?
I'm sure you've told so many lies about it you don't even remember what happened.
Anderson Dawes': My sister Athena was touched by the hand of God. The most beautiful child in all the Belt, the smartest. But she was fragile. Her bones were like chalk from spending a lifetime in zero-g. She was never going to recover. An impossible burden for a dirt-poor family of rock-hoppers. And when she became too ill even to travel? I had three other sisters to think about. Our family was starving.
So, you killed her.
And that makes me a monster. There was no scrip to bury her, so I laid her to rest in a beautiful bauxite tunnel that we discovered together. Do you know it is possible to cry so hard that your tears turn to blood? And living with this pain, I came to realize that I have millions of brothers and sisters in the Belt. I even count you among them. As I did Julie, an Earther.
So, everybody dies for the cause, except for you.
Now I'll tell you the truth about Julie.
Just tell me if she's alive.
If she was here right now, she'd spit in your face. You're everything she despised. A Belter who preys on his own kind. Welwala... Die as you lived.
I know that you and your team did a rotation on the Donnie. I knew people on that ship too. Captain Yao was a friend. But still, nobody knows what really happened.
We know those stealths were Earth-built.
So says Fred Johnson, mouthpiece for OPA terrorists. And now Earth is accusing him. We will not be led into war on anyone's leash. I was a private during the Vesta blockade. Half the Earth's fleet was headed to Mars, to annihilate its former colony. If they couldn't have what we built, they were going to pound it back into dust. We went to bed every night thinking that we would wake in nuclear fire. Luckily for everyone, cooler heads prevailed.
We all grew up with that story.
Because it was a warning. We've managed to avoid a shooting war with Earth up till now. That's our job. To make sure that that war never happens.
And because of Vesta, we pushed back the terraforming project. Fifty years and 50 more. All those resources to the military. Now, none of us will live to see an atmosphere over Mars.
That was the price.
But it's still worth fighting for.
We need to talk about Eros. Mars and Earth may be busy pointing guns at each other, but those quarantine beacons won't keep people away from Eros forever. There's already a lot more do-gooders than we expected. Next will be the looters.
Then get rid of them.
Yes. Of course. I'll sacrifice what's left of my credibility for a few short-term trinkets.
[chuckles] Sadavir! You're witnessing a discovery that could rewrite the story of humankind, but your imagination takes you as far as putting the boot heel to your former colony. [chuckles] This was Julie's spot. Far from the house, where no one could find her. Where she could find her adventures. She taught herself to shoot a bow and arrow at this tree. Nine years old. Just woke up one morning, and taught herself. My Julie. Even losing her was worth it. She's a sacred part of it now. So don't talk to me about sacrifice ever again.
Listen, I hope you understand if I ask you to sit this one out. Close quarters battle can get kinda hairy.
What the hell use would I ever be on a ship? Nah, Im going down with the assault team.
Have you seen the breaching pod? Its a beer can taped to a rocket. You're not going to like the ride.
Fred's trying to land 50 pissed off Belters and seven different OPA factions on that station. I mean, somebody's gotta keep these idiots from shooting each other. Oh, I ain't sitting this one out.
Assistant Director of Operations. You've come a long way since the loading docks on Ceres. Eh, Mali?
You don't get to call me that anymore, Pampaw.
From what people tell me, you're the one really running things around here. We need you back home. It's hard to find good people.
I prefer it here.
This floating tin can? I don't know if it's the aching bones or the constipation I miss more.
You been on Ceres too long, eh? You forget how to be a good rock hopper. You're constipated, you stuck a stone to get thing moving. If it's the other problem, you shove that rock up your ass.
Do you know how old you are?
Nineteen, I think. Earther years.
Even our sense of time comes from them. The time it takes the Earth to spin on its axis... The Earth to go once around the Sun. On Jupiter, you'd be celebrating your first birthday. It's hard to feel we matter out here, isn't it? The distances are so vast. It's hard to believe that we can make a difference.
Who's in charge of security at this goddamn station?
That would be me.
Interesting.
Say what you mean.
Either you're doing an incredibly shitty job or you're no longer in control of the people who work for you.
Fred Johnson. We have traveled far together, my beratna, but this is where we must part ways. Ever since I found you, broken, looking for redemption under a Belter knife, I have tried to teach you the Belter way. I have failed. You told us that when you destroyed Protogen, the Earth corp responsible for killing so many of our brothers and sisters on Eros, that you destroyed all its secrets as well. There was nothing left for us to fear. But instead, you preserved what you could of this terrible new weapon, and took it back to Tycho with you, keeping those secrets for yourself, no doubt believing that when the time comes, as it surely must, you and you alone, would decide when to use the weapon to defend the Belt. Now, I believe you have the Belt ere kori. And we have taken to you as a brother. But this? This is the Earther in you still. We do not want to live under anyone's boot, Fred Johnson, asilik towchu! Even a friendly one, afraid that if we disobey, we will have our air cut off, our water rationed, be spaced, or be herded into chambers to be used like animals. This is the way it has been until now. No more. I have stolen your secret, Fred Johnson. And I am giving it to the Belt.
You okay, Dad?
I never really did tell you that I was sorry that I had to leave your mother. You know, you're at an age now when time is just gonna... You're just going to put your head down and "Whoosh." And all the old farts like me, we're all going to be telling you this is how you do it and this is the path you take. We're all going to be experts on how you should grow up. But there's only one thing that I need to tell you. And it's the simplest thing. But it's the hardest thing to remember. Listen to your heart. No matter what. It'll always be the right call.
When I first saw that thing outside, for a split second I thought I was hallucinating. But after hearing what went down in that lab, now I wish I kinda had been.
When the European tall-ships first arrived on the American continent, the natives couldn't see them. The sight was so completely outside of their experience, they just couldn't compute. So they didn't see.
Those natives all got wiped out in the end, didn't they? If that thing out there really is some sort of human-protocrap hybrid, then we're yesterday's model. Obsolete.
We're not done here, but just look at my eyes and tell me the god's honest truth - what were you thinking when Naomi told you what she did? I'm not gonna lie, I didn't know what she was saying 'cause my blood was so hot in my ears...
[pondering] She's not the person I thought she was...
Where is our martian tank? [seeing Avasarala holding a gun] So you're in charge of defense?
Damn right!
Well, suits you. Errinwright gave the order to kill you, he wants confirmation which he won't get from that guy [looking at a dead officer] - so what's Errinwright's next move?
He's got people on that escort ship. We have to assume they'll be back...
So we take control of this boat, haul ass to a safe port where we can broadcast out for help...
...unless you have a better bad idea...
[pondering] No - alright, I'm ready, let's do this! [tries to stand up]
Wait, let me help you!
Uaargh
Hold on, what?
[letting him fall onto the couch in pain] Maybe I'll just ... uggh ... for a minute...
Shit [opens fire on the door]
Whoah whoah whoah
[Appearing in the door with her armour, not phased by the shots] Well done madam - this is Theo, he's gonna help us out...
