Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is... Molina,
captain of the... Earth.

We have been attacked by...

We are in need
of immediate...

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is April Molina, captain

of the Sulaiman Al Mahri
out of Earth.

We have been attacked
by an unknown vessel.

Please respond.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is April Molina, captain

of the Sulaiman Al Mahri
out of Earth.

We have been attacked
by an unknown vessel.

They are attempting
to board our ship.

We need immediate assistance.

We are a peaceful
colony vessel.

We have no...

They're jamming the comms.

Incoming tight-beam.

Tight-beam lock.

- Pirata Belta.
- What this shit?

This ours!

You want a kill,
find your own.

Don't worry about what I want.

Worry about what I am due.

A tenth of all you collect...

No tithes here!

And no prisoner killed
without permission

from the controlling faction.

And I haven't given you
my permission.

Sohiros dead!

Who are you to tell us
who we can kill...

I am Camina Drummer.

You respect my claim,

or you die and become a story
I tell the next captain.

Maybe that,
or maybe we finish you.

They not gonya make it easy.

What would be the fun in that?

They target lock us.

Signal the Mowteng.

Yes!

Nice shot, Mowteng!

They're trying
to power back up.

At least give them a chance
to be polite.

We will, but if they
target lock us again,

kill them.

No!
It's almost time.

You not hungry?

Where is the hot sauce?

You won't need it.
Oksana did the cooking.

More water, then, please.

Yeah.

Dzhemang.
Goods transferred.

You got your cut.

Go tell everyone
I am in control

of this area now.

Ya, bosmang.

Out.

Sulaiman Al Mahri,

we have retransmitted
your distress call to the UN.

Inners should be here
to pick you up

in a few days.

How do you fucking sleep
at night?

You people took everything
from us!

Not everything.

All of our...

Serge, time to leave.

Aye, Captain.
Underway.

Every time.

Still working, ke?

Still work to do.

Not many victories in life.

Im a sin fo let them
pass unmarked.

This was a good day!

You're right.
It was.

We woke up in debt,

and we gonya fall asleep
with money to keep flying.

Maybe even a little extra
fo share.

The more you share...

The more your bowl
will be plentiful.

Hey, that too.

Make the Belt love us.

Mm, love na make
the next pirate surrender.

Fear does.

Easier after today.
You were very scary.

No one watching.
You can enjoy the win a little.

Won't make you
less frightening.

If nothing else, we stop them
before they could space anyone.

Yeah,
dead bodies bring attention.

The Inners will only
be distracted

by their problems back home
for so long.

Then we did good.

Inner attention is measured
by Belter corpses.

Camina!

You have a bounty on this ship?

What is that?

It's the Tynan,
Klaes Ashford's ship.

I never thought
I'd actually find it.

Something I can do for you?

Maybe.

Timothy.

Lydia was always waiting

for you to turn up.

Come on.

Kitchen's mostly packed up.

Only thing I have left is tea.

How long were you with her?

I moved in here ten years ago,

uh, but I knew her
a little bit before that.

I'm Charles.

Were you good to her,
Charles?

We were good
to each other, boy.

How did she die?

She spent every waking moment

hoping to see you again.

You show up now, and that's all
you want to know is...

Tell me.

It was an aneurysm...

in her sleep.

She died because we got old

and we had a lot
of mileage on us.

She... she went to bed fine,

and when I woke up,

she wasn't there anymore.

That's how she died.

You need to beat me up

to make yourself feel better

about abandoning her here?

Just do it.

Was she happy?

I don't know.

I think so...

but there was so much
she kept to herself.

What am I going to do?

How... how the fuck

am I gonna go on without her?

Tea... tea sounds great.

I knew some of what
her life was before.

I didn't care.

She just did
what she had to do to survive.

Well, you can't judge someone
by what they do to make rent.

Sometimes you can.

You were in that world too,
right?

She told me some of it.

Did she?

Yeah, just that you were
born into it.

When you got old enough,
the Johns didn't want you,

so they started you
working muscle.

But she knew
that they would use you up

till there was nothing left.

Float to the top
or sink to the bottom.

Everything in the middle
is the churn.

She told me that.

She saved you?

No one really saves anyone.

She taught me
how to save myself.

Thank you for...

being with her.

No, I spent the best years
of my life in this house.

The best years of her life too,
I hope.

I'm gonna miss this place.

Why are you leaving?

It's not mine.

It was hers,

some kind of favor
from her old life.

She let me stay,
but now that she's gone,

the guy who owns it,

he wants it back.

What was his name?

Erich.

That's all I know.

Stop packing.

Keel laid
ahead of schedule.

Your work crews are doing well.

Yeah, they're going fast,
anyway.

Something wrong with that?

Psh, apart from building
gunships for Belters?

You know what your problem is?

Oh, my dick's too big?

Grow the fuck up, man.
This is serious.

Why the hell
you still doing this, anyway?

I know how much mud you ate,
'cause half the time,

I was in the same foxhole,
eating it with you.

So we're doing
"remember when" now?

No, I'm just saying
you could be sitting on a beach

with a colonel's pension.

Oh, you gunning for my job?

Fuck you.

I barely want the job
I have now.

Then you should've been
more careful with your money.

If you weren't stone-ass broke,
you could've said no

when I offered.

Yeah, I'm supposed
to be grateful now, right?

This is important.

The Belt protecting
and policing itself

is a good thing.

You know what your problem is?

Tell me.

You think that if someone's
an underdog,

that means
they're the good guy.

You've got a good ship!

You can tell
when they chime like this.

What?

The tone.
Your ship has a good tone.

Thanks.

Were you trying to sleep?

Only a little.

Well, the noise will stop
once we have

the last of the hull plating
attached.

When is that gonna be?

Twelve hours,

18 if I do it perfect,

six if you don't mind dying
later on.

Eighteen sounds great.

It's going to stay loud.

You could go back to your room
on the station,

catch some actual shut-eye.

I know.

But the Roci's home.

I'll get some earplugs.

This'll rattle your skull,
dusiwala.

Earplugs won't help.

Holden, I know
that you're avoiding me,

and I just want to let
you know that I understand.

Really, I do, but also,

I haven't been
completely honest with you.

I'm shocked.

There is
another piece to this.

I have been holding on to it
because if it gets out,

it's gonna send some people
running for cover,

but it proves that someone

is going
after the protomolecule.

Meet me, and I will tell you
about it.

Just you.

I've got a room
on level eight.

I'm embedding the directions.

I appreciate your candor
about... not being candid,

but there's really nothing
I can do.

But it proves that someone

is going
after the protomolecule.

God damn it.

Monica?

Fred, we have a problem.

Hey.

Come in.

Howdy.

I didn't know
you were coming over.

I would've cleaned up
the place.

Ah, we need to talk.

You were right.

You were low.

I wasn't listening.

I'm a shitty friend.

Amos says worse than that
five times a week,

and I know he'll take
a bullet for me.

I'm pretty sure
I already have.

Why you shutting me out?

- Of what?
- I don't know.

That's the problem.

I see you,
and you're living like...

You have a problem
with my place?

You are snapping at nothing.

You're angry, and it's not
'cause of something I did.

Well, it wasn't until now.

Fine.

Wait.

Holy shit.

I've been buying for months.

This is all black market.

You got enough here
to gear up an army, Bobbie.

This is a rounding error
on what's being moved.

You're not selling
this shit, right?

Of course not.

That's good.

Avasarala is funding me.

You're working undercover
for Earth to infiltrate Mars?

Avasarala is the only one

I know for sure
who isn't in on it.

No way.

There's no way someone
walks off with one of these.

That ain't possible.

Uh, turns out, it is.

There have been a series
of major force reductions,

which means a whole lot of gear
no one is using

and a bunch of people who are
about to lose their paychecks.

Easy math.

You gotta go to the police.

What, that's funny?

The police are in on it.

They're the delivery service.

Military police, then.

This is all coming
from the military.

And it's not just Goliath suits
going missing.

I've got a possible lead
on stealth missiles.

Those are first-strike weapons.

Anyone buying one of those
wants to attack a planet.

Now you see why Avasarala
is funding me.

Shit.

I don't know if it's
a single huge conspiracy

or half a dozen small ones,

but someone high up
in the chain of command

is in on it.

Emil Sauveterre?

Nah, that's a mistake.

- You know him?
- Yeah.

Flew with him on the Asander
back when I was active-duty.

You and I are patriots,
but Captain Sauveterre,

he's got more dust
in his veins than blood.

No, there's no way
a guy like that

sells weapons to someone
that can use them against Mars.

This guy was my entry
into the black market,

and he had access
that was coming

from somewhere
way above his rank.

He was stationed
at a low-level logistics office

filled with people
who didn't belong there.

Okay, what's that
got to do with Sauveterre?

He signed the transfer orders.

Everyone in that office
was by his say-so.

You're stretching.

He must've rubber-stamped
thousands of transfers.

Look, I know
it's a long shot, okay?

All I have left
are long shots.

You tried talking to him?

What, walk up and say,
"Excuse me, sir,

are you illegally selling
weapons to the Belt?"

He's a senior lecturer
at the war college.

We don't travel
in the same circles.

He'll talk to me.

Fresh crab goulash.
Get your crab goulash!

You need something?

Is this Erich's corner?

Do you work for him?

I don't know any Erich.

I just need you
to give him a message.

Tell him Amos Burton
wants to talk.

Hey, man, why don't you
go fuck yourself?

Please, stop hitting me.

I understand
you're just doing your job,

but I need a friend
who will take a message

to Erich for me.

Do you want to be my friend?

Yeah?

Go now.

Erich's gonna kill you.

I thought you and I
were friends.

I have a team
going over the room

and another on surveillance.

The blood you found
was definitely hers.

What about
the hotel's cameras?

Yeah, the news there
isn't good.

Someone deleted the footage.

So it was someone
inside station security?

I'm looking into that.

Have any ships left
since she was taken?

No.

I've issued a temporary lock
on all the docks.

I'm gonna keep digging
on this end and find out

who scrubbed that video.

She said someone was going
after the protomolecule.

She had proof,
and then minutes later,

she's grabbed;
That can't be a coincidence.

My people will find her.

Your people are a part of this.

We don't know that yet.

And I shut down the port

before anyone
could leave, so...

So dead or alive,

she's still on this station...

somewhere.

Hey!

We...

we can talk!

You want to talk?

Sir, you described
the Ring Space

as an asymmetric
tactical choke point.

The Rings permit equal access
from both sides, so...

Yes, but that is not

the asymmetry we're discussing.

Tactically,
there is no advantage

to holding either side
of a Ring.

Yes, the Gates each allow
equal access

into and out of
a single system,

and so each of them
individually represents

a symmetrical choke point.

You paid attention
in your freshman year.

Bravo.

The Ring Space they share,
on the other hand,

acts that way
for all the systems.

This allows
a much smaller force

to hold all the Rings
simultaneously

and thus
asymmetrically exert power.

If you'd like to educate
yourself further, Mr. Gavin,

there's a good analysis
on the topic

by Bree and Colton.

I suggest you read that.

I'm afraid we're out of time
for this lecture

and this term.

But I will leave you with this.

Plan and prepare
for every possibility,

and you will never act.

It is nobler to have courage

as we stumble into half
the things we fear

than to analyze
every possible obstacle

and begin nothing.

Great things are achieved
by embracing great dangers.

These were the words of Xerxes,

Persia's king of kings,

though he probably spoke them
in Old Persian.

History has borne out
Xerxes' wisdom.

The tactics of the battlefield
have changed

with the invention
of the stirrup,

the machine gun, the airplane,

the Epstein drive.

Political and economic worlds
changed

when the Europeans
colonized the New World

and when Mars
declared its independence

and now, again,

with the opening
of the Ring Gates.

Every new invention
or discovery

alters the strategic
and tactical landscape.

The doctrine of grand strategy

is the way in which
we face these changes

without losing sight
of our purpose,

how we adapt to the new reality

and remain faithful

to our overarching goals.

In these lectures
and workshops,

we have considered
the Ring Space

as a radical alteration
of the tactical, economic,

and strategic landscapes,

and I hope we have given
each of you

the insights

to carry the dream of Mars

from being a planet circling
a lonely, single sun

to a vision of humanity

that can encompass
a thousand stars.

Thank you all.

- ...very much, sir.
- Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

- Ah, yes.
- It's been a real honor.

Good luck.

Admiral Sauveterre.

Hey there.

Not sure if you remember me.

Senior Chief Alexander Kamal.

Back on Mars.
What's the occasion?

Ah, there was just some
personal business at the base,

and I heard you were giving
a lecture.

I saw you were, uh,
talking about the Ring Gates.

I was out there.

It'd be an honor
to buy you a coffee.

I could give you
my firsthand account.

You pilot a stolen Martian ship
for an Earther captain.

I don't think we have much
to say to each other.

Don't mind him.

It's been a long term.
He's very tired.

It's not you.

You sure?

Sure as hell seemed like me.

He also doesn't like
being upstaged.

I don't see how I
could've upstaged him.

First pilot to safely transit
the Sol Ring,

first Martian to set foot
on an exoplanet.

Yeah, that's just me

being in the wrong place
at the right time.

Everyone in this room
would disagree.

It's an honor to meet you,
Senior Chief.

Lieutenant Babbage.
Emily.

I'm one
of Admiral Sauveterre's aides.

You can call me Alex,

and it's a pleasure
to meet you, Emily.

If you have an opening
in your coffee schedule,

maybe I could take you up
on it...

I mean,
if that's not presuming.

No, no, it's not.

Babbage?

Here.

Duty calls.

Find out why he's here.

Already on it.

Erich says to come with me.

Mother.

Ashanti.

Mm, I wanted to say good-bye
before we left.

So soon?

Well, the boys have school
next week.

Hire them a tutor.

This is what your father and I
did for you.

Then you can go
wherever you like.

Yes, then they can go
wherever I liked.

Your childhood wasn't so bad.

Stay a little longer.

You could come home.

I can't.

Father misses you.

I know he won't say it,

but he does.

He's back at Columbia now,
getting ready for the semester.

If you went to him,
you could patch things up.

What I'm doing here
is still important.

Arjun understands that.

Well, maybe he understands

that you would rather
do anything

than admit this part
of your life is done.

Eight-seven colony ships
have reportedly

made the transit to the new
systems this quarter.

That's below our estimate,

but it's
within the target range.

However, we should take
that number

with a grain of salt.

And why is that?

There are...

some discrepancies

within those reports.

The OPA denies it,

but there is the possibility

of some ships
making the transit

without being
officially recorded.

That sounds
like a security issue.

Perhaps we can take
a moment to address that.

Do you have something to add?

I do.

I would like to discuss
the Hasami,

the science ship
that was attacked.

Why?

It speaks to the larger issue

of the security threats
from the Belt.

I have information
from reliable,

confidential sources

that Belters are buying
Martian military supplies

on the market,

including
highly sensitive materials

like stealth composites.

I am aware of those reports.

If the buyer is Marco Inaros

and one of his ships
destroyed the Hasami,

it suggests...

Admiral Delgado,

you're familiar
with those reports.

Do you agree with her?

With which part, Madam?

Was it an Inaros ship?

Fifty-fifty.

- Higher than that.
- Not much.

Chrisjen, you're on Luna
to do a job.

It isn't this.

If you'd prefer
not to be involved

in these discussions,
you're more than welcome

to submit your thoughts
in writing.

Understood.

Good.

Now let's get back to work.

Once we have
the situation in hand,

we'll resume normal traffic.

Can I tell them
what the security issue is?

No!

- This is gonna get ugly.
- It's already ugly.

You know what I mean.

You could lose control
of the station.

I already lost control.
I'm trying to get it back.

- Guys?
- It's not the way to do it.

Even if I could find her,

I can't track down who took her

and run this
at the very same time.

Guys!

What'd you do?

There was a button.
I pushed it.

Jesus Christ.

That's really how you go
through life, isn't it?

Look, there's a signal
coming in.

Monica?

Monica, can you hear me?

She can't.

She's recording
but can't receive.

Where the hell
is she?

Could be a cargo hold.

Or a shipping container.

No, no!

Oh, shit.

My team reports
no sign of her

in the dock so far.

It's easier to hide
a person in a container.

I'm telling you, she's here.

Fred, there has to be
something on thermals.

Nothing that looks
like a body, not yet.

Holden.

Tell me you found something.

I've got one
that's warmer than the others.

Might be an atmosphere inside.

That's gotta be it.

She's in there.

Guide us in.

Come on!

Don't cut into it
until the blister's in place.

We don't need to ventilate
her air

while we're saving her life.

You know
I work in space, right?

This is carrying live soil.

That's why it had atmosphere.
This isn't the right container!

Trying to figure how
you're gonna get back out?

"Amos Burton wants to talk."

That's weird, right?

Everyone knows
Amos Burton's been dead

for, what, a couple decades?

Long enough that no one's
even asking

who killed him anymore,

but now Amos Burton
wants to talk.

It's a common name.

Not around here, it's not.

Around here,

there's only one Amos Burton.

What the fuck
are you doing, Timmy?

Lydia died.

That's not an answer.

We had a deal.

I'm gonna need
to change that deal.

Fuck you.

You killed Burton for me

instead of killing me for him.

You got his name
and a way off the planet.

I made sure Lydia
was taken care of

her whole life.

Now she's gone, you think
you can come back?

I'm not back,

and Lydia is not gone.

- I went to the funeral.
- She's got a guy.

He loved her, and as long
as he's here,

a part of her is too.

- The husband?
- He keeps the house,

and once he's died
of natural causes,

you can do whatever you want,

but Lydia would not want him
sleeping in an alley,

so I don't either.

That's all this is?

Well, shit!

You should've just said so!

You scared the fuck out of me,

coming to my place like this.

That was not my intention.

Yeah, the old guy can stay.
I don't give a shit.

Hang on.
We'll drink on it.

Erich...

...you don't have to test me.

I'm not here to take anything
that belongs to you.

Goddamn, that's good.

All this is really
about the house?

It's about Charles.

All right, fine.

Good.

You've changed.

What the hell happened
to you out there?

One thing and another.

Yeah, here too.

I mean, look at all this.

Do you remember when we
were just street trash,

sitting on the docks,
watching the shuttles leave,

wishing we were on them?

I'll never forget that.

Burton's fake ID won't hold up
if you get arrested down here.

It'll lead back to me.

I've got a lot to lose.

You did good, brother.

Next time you go up the well,
don't come back.

I love you, and I miss you,
I do,

but show your face
in my city again,

and I'm putting you down.

It's good seeing you again,
Erich.

Hold on!

There's a medical team
on the way.

You just got a dose
of hyper-oxygenated blood.

It packs a wallop.

We never would've found you
if you hadn't

put a hole in your seal,
so good job.

I'm not dead.

You're not.

Wow.

For what it's worth,

I thought you held your temper
pretty well.

I wanted to slap
that condescending smile

off her face.

As public floggings go,
I've seen worse.

Thanks for having my back
in there.

She goes out of her way
to humiliate me.

Shocking,

after the kindness
you showed her

when your positions
were reversed.

She should thank me
for toughening her up.

The new lion kills
the old pride's kittens.

It's always been that way.

Let the young ones
screw up for a while.

Their kids
will be along shortly

to push them out to pasture.

Fuck that.

Why do you think
the science ship was destroyed?

Bad things happen
to good people?

Yeah, don't be an ass.

I remember the old days,
sitting in my office,

trying to put myself
into my enemy's mind,

anticipating them.

That was the job,

a job we don't have anymore.

When was the last time
a Belter pirate

took down a ship
in the inner planets?

I don't remember one.

Because it's
the most dangerous place

in the system
for them to operate.

Much easier pickings
in the outer planets.

Fewer eyes.

Why would Marco Inaros do that?

Venus is a long way to go
for a target like that,

definitely high-risk.

If it were you,
why would you do it?

Why would you take the risk?

Maybe not piracy, then.

Maybe something to do
with the mission

the Hasami was on.

That would be
the place to start.

I know what you're doing.

Is it working?

What you did today was hard.

When you're hurt,

hurting others is easy.

It takes strength
to choose not to.

When life has not treated you
with kindness,

doing the right thing anyway

always takes strength...

when you can even tell
what the right thing is.

I love you, Timothy,

but I'm not righteous.

I can't teach you to be that.

Maybe you and I...

can imagine a version of me

that is good and kind
and wise.

I'll pretend to be her.

You can pretend to love me
enough to listen.

Maybe that's enough
for people like us.

Hey!

What you doing on my dock,
old man?

No.

What you mean, no?

I mean no.

Psh, yeah, whatever, asshole.

Chrissie, I'm gonna need
a favor.

I'm getting ready
to go back to the ship,

and I'm not coming back
to Earth ever.

But there's someone
that I should see first,

and I'm gonna need
your help arranging it.
