The Expanse

Miller, Holden and his crew fight their way to the Rocinante to escape Eros. On Earth, Avasarala fears for the stability of Earth's government and her family's safety.

How long until your girlfriend takes off?

Your optimism is inspiring.

Had a hell of a beating out of it.

He's on his own. Now move out.

And in fact, our people have been tracking

I always liked this side of you.

She's not my kid.

Look, if you're in over your head, you better say so now.

the whole goddamn station.

We're going the right way.

You are brave.

It's a good way to start a war and to cover it up.

There's a hospital on level nine.

I'm sorry about what happened.

Okay?

You've seen what's happening. This is a death sentence.

Does this look like the right way to you?

Watch that first step, it's a doozy.

I think he might've been infected.

We gonna rise up!

He might not know.

Quarantine beacons active.

Miller, Holden and his crew are trapped on Eros. Avasarala discovers the origin of the mystery ships.

I'm sorry. It's just been a long time coming. A long fight to get here.

That's the Anubis.

Please help me. Somebody come and get me.

Scopuli has been lost.

When I come home...

Ugh! God, what's that smell?

It could be contagious.

Cpm works for me.

He's right.

Thank you for letting me come.

Frank always said,

but it looks as though Julie was the lone survivor.

All you need to do now is to give the word.

They couldn't use it on belters.

That's the good news. The bad news is,

No. No. No. You do not want to be around me right now, okay.

All right, sabakawala. Hey! Break it on your feet!

My name is Frederick Lucius Johnson.

because the un believes i was involved in the attacks on the donnager.

because of who I am.

the things we care about have changed,

All right, who is that guy you're guarding?

Sweet salary, fat bonus, no questions asked.

Cpm sees me with you, they shoot us both.

A derelict vessel holds a potentially devastating secret. Holden and his crew cross paths with Miller on Eros. Avasarala receives bad news.

who's accepted Jesus Christ into his heart.

Just like the ones that killed the Donnager.

No one else builds stealth, no one else can afford to.

There could still be air inside.

Connection... Is good.

Looks like somebody got spaced.

NAOMI: (OVER RADIO) The latch is broken from the inside.

He'll be useful.

We live in strange times.

No doubt about it, this ship was vented on purpose.

to dismantle and hide an entire stealth tech program, is it?

Right, so the crew of this badass ship boards the Scopuli,

Some toxic spill or something.

(POWERING DOWN)

Anybody except you.

WOMAN: (OVER PA) Eros Station police services

Damn it! (GRUNTS)

Hey, how about

You talkin' cause you're fed up.

I'm taking this one for a walk.

- And, uh, plus the coffee. - Hey.

all kinds of bullshit back in the day.

It's a real-time tactical record of the Donnager battle,

I'm tellin' you, if you guys like okra-infused tank-grown ribs,

Here you go.

We need to talk.

Holden and his crew face a Martian military blockade. Miller finds a new reason to forge ahead. Avasarala visits Holden’s family.

They can't check every ship.

What the hell?

NAOMI: No, it's modulated, in code.

Any idea what he was transmitting?

It's none of my business, okay?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

You all remember Mr. Miller.

In fact I was fighting for you.

And it will welcome you.

Can you give us a moment?

Cervantes.

(SCOFFS)

I can make shit up, too.

Was he trying to piss you off?

Aw, hell, we're, uh... We're just hauling some helium down to Eros.

You're a loose end. It's nothin' personal.

If survival is the game, I can help us survive.

but I don't understand him.

for someone to come around and tell me that it was all a terrible mistake,

But it's not gonna fool that skiff once they get on board and see all this.

acting kind of suspect in a pirate zone.

Right, right here. Right here where?

I was just coming to check your apartment,

You were alone in that airlock.

Where are you going?

then we're gonna burn like hell somewhere safe.

A guy with big ideas, wanna take on the bad guys,

(GUN COCKING)

It's, it's this one.

You get those comms checked out when you hit port.

may have mommy issues, problems with authority.

Things are fragile enough out there right now.

According to Fred's coordinates,

Holden's team makes an uneasy alliance with Fred Johnson while Miller fights for his life against Anderson Dawe's thugs.

FRED: James Holden.

I have half a platoon of pissed-off Martian marines

Coming here was your only option.

He's Star Helix.

We're going back to our ship now.

Why did you go back to Julie Mao's apartment?

buying each other rounds,

That's why you gotta make the Mao case disappear.

I provided a ship for an OPA recon mission out of Ceres,

across the dock out there.

I didn't have the scrip, kopeng, I had to replace the...

You set up your zones and tell us where we can and cannot go.

Look, I don't need to trust Fred Johnson.

I'm glad we cleared this up.

Just like your sister...

The most beautiful child in all the Belt, the smartest.

So, you killed her...

of brothers and sisters in the Belt.

- (GRUNTING) - Uncle, what are you doing?

Please!

He'd have to be siphoning off resources on a massive scale.

But I'll tell you one thing, flying the Rocinante back there,

A lot of Martians gave their lives getting us onto this ship.

and the Roci's core will self-destruct.

You don't need to do this! We'll be okay!

Mmm.

Why did you come back for us?

So let's get to work on that, shall we?

It's just a reaction.

My advice is just forget it.

I guess we lost Amos.

Look at this thing.

Holden finds an unlikely ally. Miller’s obsession with Mao intensifies.

I'm comin', I'm comin'.

- Is anybody following us? - No, sir. Scope's clear.

with a dead Martian in the trunk.

We're not going anywhere.

He didn't show today.

the Governor's orders were to proceed with extreme caution

I told her about Julie, I told her about the Scopuli.

Until then, I'll just, uh...

Think about your children. UN Command out.

With what?

Oh, I don't know, ask the ship,

Call it a conflict of interest.

The very lifeblood of the station.

Earthers have a home.

Yet. What do you want?

We're surrendering to the Marines.

Looks like we're not the only ones who remember the Cant.

Babe in the woods, long way from home...

to take anti-cancer meds for the rest of her life...

He's on his way to the recycler.

over some stupid cause she barely understood anyway.

Everyone's ready.

tight-beam transmitter mounted on Toro 5.

She and the other children have been diagnosed with what the medics are calling

Anderson Station is secure. All terrorists have been subdued.

The instructions are embedded in this message.

Holden and crew find themselves in the middle of a desperate battle while still aboard the Martian battleship. Miller’s partner goes missing.

There's some kind of game being played here.

They took our people hostage. We have to get a ship there.

I get that way when missiles are flying at me.

He missed it terribly.

We are nothing like you.

Enough of this. Bring up the rail guns. Let's finish this and go home.

Seven hours and 13 minutes

The most skilled belters for your project.

We have some calibration work to do on the nauvoo's sensor arrays.

And get those sensors pointed toward the donnager.

Keep him quiet or gag him. I want ids. We need to know their capabilities.

I was just a transport pilot, you yahoo! You understand?

One just like it blew up the canterbury.

He's the only person who can directly testify to this.

Atmosphere systems are still out.

To who?

We have our orders. Duty means something on mars.

The only guys who really use them are crooks.

I know you can be a devious son of a bitch when you want to be.

He doesn't look like any opa grunt i've ever seen. Tech is way too advanced.

They're only here because of me.

Suit up fast, the air seal is temporary. We have to move.

Donnager was dispatched to phoebe station after she went silent for several weeks.

Authorize full operational control of all systems for everyone now on board.

Holden and the crew are taken prisoner by the Martian Congressional Republic Navy. Miller deals with unhappy rioters. Avasarala plays politics and gets severely burned.

Everybody's been pissed about the extended water rations.

All her shipmates were crewed up out of the same dockworkers local,

Hey, amos!

We have the word of some ice-hauler named james holden.

And therefore have no excuse

Do you like to laugh? No.

Nah, you take it. He went that way.

You're in fine form today.

Sure, no problem.

On a 22-acre farm in montana,

Was wasting her life sealing cracks and fixing gauges

Him die to give you feather fo your chapeau?

Half our gray water for eight cases of wine.

It's an antifungal cream...

We don't seem to be a priority right now.

That would explain your interest in her.

See if anybody know anything.

I took free tutorials and tested through.

Mmm? Who registered the call?

And signed onto the cant to get away from a drug dealer who wanted you dead.

You stopped me from chasing down the ship

And nine mcrn facilities believed to manufacture stealth composites

They didn't destroy the canterbury.

We've been tracking it inbound ever since we picked up your distress call.

They're an entire culture dedicated to a common goal, working together as one

Now... "whoever gets to the tree first, wins."

Holden and crew are trapped in badly damaged shuttle. On Ceres, Miller uncovers clues about Julie Mao. On Earth, Chrisjen Avasarala questions a terrorist.

Don't do it, Alex.

The water shipment's not late, copain.

Christ.

Copy all files.

then why should I care about being your child?

you put him in the tank.

that could destroy the balance in the system.

Then why waste your time on a meaningless courier like myself?

Are you outta your tree?

Deep... breathe. Breathe, breathe.

Alex!

I can take a core apart and put it back together with my eyes closed.

I'm bringin' her home, honey-pie.

Shed, you're a medic! Act like one!

This boy isn't some hapless smuggler.

We're gonna need a shit load of power.

Ade? She's why we're in this shit right now.

...hump yourself.

Huh? Hmm?

But you, you gutter punks.

Get out of here.

during the critical phase of the ascent,

That ship that attacked the cant wasn't tucked behind an asteroid,

Now, there's a girl I'm not gonna forget anytime soon.

Oh, it's a badge of defiance.

In the outer solar system near Saturn, James Holden and the crew of the ice-freighter Canterbury, investigate a distress call from a mysterious derelict ship, the Scopuli. On Ceres Station, Detective Miller begins an off the book investigation of a missing heiress, Julie Mao.

Ceres was once covered in ice.

One day, Mars will use its might to wrest control of Ceres from Earth,

You also get that from a little too much whiskey.

Take your OPA bullshit back to the Medina,

and Emergency Services.

You sidelining me, Captain?

Sorry, cowboy, but we did.

You're gonna have to count sheep, sorry.

than to overhaul this old barge.

Paj needs approval for a new arm.

Rosa... Priscitha...

Look, people like you.

You a "wanted man" back in Montana?

Next to a charted, non-Belt asteroid.

McDowell's got a nose for trouble.

That's why we need to talk, and tell the truth.

But it's appropriate.

There a problem, XO?

We've logged a distress call near CA-2216862.

Hey, hey, now. I'm just lookin' out for you.

Good night, Miller.

What about that thing that looks like a big hole in the side?

Someone went through the shutdown procedures.
