I need to get a message
to my father,

Jules-Pierre Mao.

Everything you feared
about the protomolecule

has come to pass.

I can't fix it,

but I can destroy the man
who brought you low.

We've struck
at the "Inner's" vessels,

and we will strike again.

Holden didn't do
any of that.

He's being framed.

That fake message was
somebody trying to kill us.

It was just supposed
to be a back door

so we could get nav

and stuff
you might not tell us.

We're still locked out
of comms and weapons.

I don't wanna get into
anyone's firing range

until we can explain that
that message was fake.

Make sure you tell them

we didn't blow up
the "Seung Un"!

Tell them
what really happened, please.

You want to indulge in
a selfish desire

to be a part of
something amazing.

Yeah.

I'm going through
the Ring.

I won't hear your voice...
until I'm back.

Inyalowda go through the Ring,

call it their own.

But a Belter opened it!

This moment belong to us!

It's the MCRN "Xuesen."

If things go
too fast around here,

something gets
nervous and grabs 'em?

How fast was it going
when it got stopped?

Just over 18,000 KPH.

Okay, so now
we have a speed limit.

I came back
for the wrong reasons.

I didn't understand
what I was leaving.

Don't go too fast out there.

Hang in there.
I'm coming.

I've been seeing him
since the Ring turned on.

Maybe
he isn't exactly dead.

Maybe
he isn't exactly Miller.

We gotta go.
Come on.

To the station.
To the nucleus.

I got a case to solve,
and you want the truth.

Are you coming or not?

*THE EXPANSE*
Season 03 Episode 10

*THE EXPANSE*
Episode Title: "Dandelion Sky"

Miller told me
to go to the station.

He said
it would help us.

He's already saved our asses once,
so...

I've gotten you guys
in enough trouble.

What else is new,
right?

I have to do this on my own.

Just... stay safe.

Thanks...
both of you, for...

well, for everything.

And do not follow me.

That's an order.

Fuck.

After all the shit
we've been through,

I'm starting to wonder
if I'm cursed.

Yeah, why's that?

'Cause
out of the whole human race,

you're the one flying through
the mysterious alien artifact

with a dead guy?

Yeah.

You're just following
your program.

- Just like me.
- Program?

- Mm-hmm.
- I always had

this crazy notion
about free will.

Then how come it is

that every time
there's a cluster-suck

shit-storm situation
in the universe,

there's James Holden,

shrugging his shoulders,
saying,

"How the hell
did I end up here?"

You're really pumping me
up for this mission.

You're the patron saint
of lost causes, kid.

Quit running from it.

Course is locked.

We are on final approach to the Gate.

Sub two is go.

Dr. Volovodov...
I heard you were a Methodist.

- Uh, I am.
- Me too.

First Methodist,
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's part of

the North American Trade Zone.

We're all a long way
from home.

Yeah, a very long way.

All hands, stand by

for zero-G.

As a precaution, speed will be
12,600 kilometers per hour,

30% below the limit.

I haven't been sleeping
very well since...

we got the orders
to go through this thing.

In the face of all this, sleep seems

disrespectful, maybe?

- I'd say more like terrifying.
- Mm-hmm.

Do you think
God wants us to be here?

Uh, as far as I can tell,

the scripture's quiet
on this one.

Excuse me.

All indicators are green
for Ring transit.

Gate contact in ten...

nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

five...

four...

three...

two...

one.

Transit is complete.

We are on the other side of the Ring.

All work groups report.

And there are the Martians.

This is incredible.

We have to get
some probes out ASAP.

Can't we just...
enjoy it for a minute?

I suppose we should.

I thought
it was gonna be a wormhole.

- It's not?
- In theory,

wormholes connect
distant points in space.

And this doesn't look like
space at all.

Exactly. Whatever it is,

it's highly energetic.

Its emissions
are swamping our censors.

I think it's beautiful.

There's something
at the center.

It looks similar to the Ring.

Makes sense it would be
the same technology.

What are those...
those purple glows?

You tell me.

Yeah?

That's the slingshotter.

Belter torpedo...
MCRN probe...

in the same orbit,
the same distance apart.

What is this place?

Where angels fear to tread
if they had any goddamn sense.

Sorry, Pastor.

"Rocinante."

Please respond.

"Rocinante,"
please respond.

Come on, guys.

Why aren't you talking?

Belter skiff,
this is the MCRN "Xuesen."

What is your business?

I am en route to the "Rocinante."

Have you contacted them?

This is a policing action.

We have been ordered to apprehend

James Holden and crew.

Your assistance is neither
requested nor required.

You can't possibly believe
that the same James Holden

who saved Mars
has started blowing up

innocent civilian ships?

We are ordering you
to break off.

You have been fairly warned.

- "Xuesen" out.
- Same to you.

Asshole.

"Drop Ship One,"
this is "Flight."

Stand by
for final clearance to drop.

Whoever that is,
they're headed straight

for that thing in the center.

It has to be Holden.

That's definitely his style.

- So he's crazy?
- I suppose you could

- make that argument.
- Fantastic.

But I don't believe he
would blow up the "Seung Un."

That's definitely not his style.

You sure
you're up for this, Gunny?

What do you mean by that?

The things Holden did
in the war with your help...

that's a big part of why
you were reinstated.

It'd be understandable
if you were feeling conflicted.

Our orders are to stop him

before he does anything
down there,

and that's what
I intend to do.

Are you gonna tell me
what that thing is?

Yeah, just as soon as
we get down there,

we'll both know.
I should've brought a gun.

Wouldn't do you any good.

I calmed down
the station's security.

That's about the only thing
protecting you right now.

Mm, comforting.

Except these guys.
We got a little company.

Ugh, Martians.

- They're not happy with me.
- Just collecting pals

wherever you go, huh?

- What are you doing?
- Trying not to get caught.

Slow down. Remember what I said

- about doors and corners?
- Don't start with

- with that shit again.
- Hey, you're no good to me

if the station squashes you like a bug!

Slow down.

Just exercising some free will.

Now you're just being an asshole.

Amos.
Amos!

Looks like the "Xuesen"
just launched a skiff.

They're going after Holden.

Then we have
to go after him too.

We can't.
Even if we left right now

at maximum speed,
we wouldn't get

- to him before they did.
- And they're not

gonna be expecting us to try,
so we're going to

punch them in the face
before they figure it out.

Right, that's a...
that's a great plan,

to take on
a Martian Marine fire team.

It's better to go down
swinging than rolling over.

Why are you being
so much like yourself?

Is none of this stuff
weirding you out?

You want me to say
this is some weird shit?

- Yeah, this is some weird shit.
- Thank you.

And we're playing
way out of our league, here.

That's been true ever since
we've been sharpening sticks

and going after lions,
but we're still here.

I get it. Alien shit,

magic gates...
Naomi bugging off

to go play Belter, Holden doing...

I have no clue
what Holden is doing.

Me neither.

I wish that I could tell you
I was freaked out,

but... I'm not.

Not even a little?

I haven't felt fear
since I was five years old.

Man, I wish
I could go through life

- without feeling fear.
- No.

You don't.

Brother... I...
I can't stop

thinking that being
in this place,

that maybe this is it.
Like, we're all gonna die.

We are gonna die.

No. All of us.

Humanity.

Back in Baltimore, I had this friend.

And she said,
if the end ever came,

she'd grab a bottle
and her two cats

and go to the roof,

have a toast,
and then jump.

With the cats?

Like a freakin' pharaoh.

Don't worry.

I'd take you with me too.

My best guess is that
it's a field that manipulates

inertia in ways that
we don't understand.

Inertia.
That's the whole bodies

- in motion and rest thing?
- Yes.

I feel like there's
a sex joke in there somewhere,

but I'm not finding it.

What's interesting is that
the torpedo's engine

is still burning,
and that the probe's still

- sending back data.
- Why is that interesting?

Well, it means that
their internal systems

are still functioning
normally,

even though the objects
themselves have been stopped.

I bet that if an object
were to exceed the speed limit

inside this ship,
nothing would happen to it.

We should test that.

Maybe the purple glow
is like a cyst.

- I don't follow.
- When you get a splinter,

your body builds around it,
isolating it...

in-infections can develop
cysts.

Maybe it's interpreting
these objects as threats,

and that's how
it isolates them.

There's no way to know
why it's doing anything.

Best we can
figure out is how.

I don't think
biological models are gonna

- help us understand this.
- Kinda makes you nervous

to think that it's alive

and watching us,
don't you think?

Little bit, yeah.

- What is it?
- The XO would like

to speak with you
on the command deck, ma'am.

Lieutenant?

You okay?

Just fine, ma'am.

Show the
"Rocinante's" course.

Show best route to intercept
with the "Rocinante"...

within the speed limit.

I need to get there
before the "Xuesen."

Support ships
for the Inners,

coming to join the party.
No matter.

We'll reach the thing
in the middle

- before they do.
- And then what?

Knock politely?
Rub it with a cloth?

Oh, and it's just too bad we
don't have our chief engineer

to build us some probes.

You have something to say?

Yeah, I said it.
We needed Nagata here,

- and you let her go.
- This isn't a slave ship.

No, it's a warship.
The Belt's first and only.

And I'm its captain.

Yeah.
Yeah, you are.

We have a few autonomous
farm drones

with chemical samplers for soil.

We can convert those
into probes.

A captain must know their ship.

Hmm.

I repeat, we are ordering you

to break off
your present course

so we can bring you aboard
in protective custody.

You will not be harmed.

James Holden,
please respond.

- Shit!
- He's not slowing down.

- Not even a bit.
- He's still got

a ton of velocity to shed,
unless he's planning

on going through that thing
instead of to it.

What do you think's gonna
happen when he reaches it?

Maybe little green men'll
come out.

Maybe boom...

Hopefully nothing.

Sir,
may I give it a try?

Do it.

Holden.
Bobbie Draper here.

Really?

Yeah. It's me.

I need you to slow down.

Shut the hell up,
I'm trying to...

sorry, Bobbie,
I wasn't talking to you.

Are you on another channel?

What? No.

I... I mean yes.
Yes, another channel.

- Would you just stop for...
- Who are you talking to,

Holden?

Monkeys and microwaves?

Holden, are you all right?

- Exactly.
- Holden.

You need to slow down
and let us bring you in.

- Give me a minute...
- I promise we'll

- hear you out.
- I didn't blow up

the "Seung Un,"
and Alex and Amos

had nothing to do with it either.
I gotta go.

Get him back.

I can't.
He's locked us out of his comms.

That man sound
rational to you?

Not entirely.

No, sir. He did not.

Yeah, I concur.

He's cracked.

Everyone's got
a breaking point.

I'm sure he's not the only one
in this godforsaken place.

What are you waiting for?

- What's in there?
- Just stuff.

The next lead in the case.

Do you even know
what "the case" is?

Yeah, sure.
It's, uh...

we gotta find a records room.

And then
we gotta read the files.

And then...

we see... what's what.

You tell me what that is,
and I'll keep going.

Whew.
Sometimes I...

I know stuff
that's too big for my head.

There used to be, uh...
something here.

A lot of something.
A, uh... civilization...

billions of years ago.
But now,

all that's left is a bunch
of locked doors

- and some lights on a timer.
- So what do we do?

You figure out
how to pick the locks.

- Ah, they're getting closer.
- Can't you stop them?

Sure, I can get the station
to stop them permanently.

No. No, no.

- Don't do that.
- Hmm.

Then keep moving.

Jules-Pierre Mao's project
wreaked havoc

throughout the system.
The Protomolecule

killed so many, brought Earth
and Mars to the brink

of annihilation,
and you had a major effect

on those events,
and that led you to this.

The Ring.

How does that make you feel?

Kind of makes me want a donut.

Show me
the "Rocinante's" new course.

If I took a skiff,

could I get to the "Rocinante"
before the Martians?

If the "Rocinante's" reactor
went critical,

what would
the zero-survival radius be?

Bossmang...

Yeah, what's up?
What's the problem, Harari?

I na like
da ting Drummer say to you...

or how she say it.

Uh...
a captain can run their ship

however they choose to.

Captain should be you.

Tread carefully, good my boy.

You been bossmang from
da time before me

or half the Beltalowda
on this ship was born.

Yeah, that's true.
I have.

And I've drunk real Earth whiskey

out of a UN Admiral's mug
and then scuttled her ship.

I flew dark past
a Martian battle group,

and they never even knew
I was there.

And I've seen friends
breathe the vacuum

and watched my only child burn.

So when I tell you
to tread carefully,

you would do well
to stop talking.

Is this some kind of machine?

Yeah.

Oh, and I need you to do
something for me later.

Not sure
what I can do that you can't.

Hmm?
Oh, I need you to... you know,

help me get the system
back online.

I thought you were
plugged in to this place.

Yeah, but not to the records.
See, they're locked.

Remember?
So you can, you know,

- turn the key.
- But what do you need me for?

Because you exist, okay?
That's why.

You seem real enough.

Okay.

Couple hundred billion
brain cells in your skull.

You got more synapses
than stars in the universe.

- You are a fancy hand terminal.
- Thanks.

With a lot of buttons.
Now, I push a few trillion

of them buttons in exactly
the right way and, ta-da.

You're talking to Miller.

The sound of his voice,
the clothes he wore.

- Plus the hat.
- Yeah, I like the hat.

Plus, uh,
I'm pushing the buttons.

So it's a magic trick.

So is your whole damn reality,
kid.

Just different buttons
being pushed.

Maybe I'm the illusion
inside your head.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm trying to keep things
simple here for you, okay?

Calculus, amoeba.

Monkey, Mozart.

You have to pick one
or the other.

I don't think that
there is a conflict.

My father used to say
that God gave us two texts:

scripture and creation.

And if they seem to contradict,

it's because we haven't
understood one of them yet.

- Enlightened attitude.
- Earlier

than the Enlightenment, actually.

It turns out, he was quoting
St. Augustine.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Sorry to interrupt,
but I have a favor to ask.

One of our crew has passed.
I understand you were

of the same faith.
Would you be willing

- to say a few words at his service?
- Of course. Who is it?

Lieutenant Jordaan Nemeroff.

What happened?

He was cleaning his sidearm

and accidentally discharged
the weapon.

Thank you, ma'am.

That's just terrible.

It's a terrible euphemism... actually.

Excuse me.

Supply Master.

I need access to a mech suit
rated for deck work.

- Reason?
- Jammed access hatch.

Gonna have to cut it out.
Name is Koh, K-O-H, Melba.

Got it. Stand by.

Checking your contract.

Sorry, Melba Koh,
you are not authorized for that.

You will need a supervisor
to approve...

"that I didn't know him
when he was ali... "... no.

Sorry I ditched you.

The XO keeps trying to
limit our access privileges.

If I'd known blackmail
was going to be this tedious,

I'd have done something else.

You look grim. Who died?

Oh, shit.
Did somebody die?

An officer who tried to talk
with me during the transit.

He was... scared, and I was so...

I... ignored him,
and... he killed himself.

Jesus. I'm sorry.

- Hey, it's not your fault.
- Well...

he was begging for help, and...
I was too distracted.

That's completely understandable.

We've had some pretty
unprecedented distractions.

I should've been more focused
on why I'm here.

- What do you mean?
- I'm not a scientist.

I'm a minister.

Physics, biology,
alien artifacts...

I wanna know all about them, but...

that's not my job.

You're not here
to praise the Lord.

No, I'm here to talk to people,

to offer comfort where comfort is needed,

to sit with people
when they're... scared...

and grieving.

That is what a minister
is supposed to do.

Sorry.

Clarissa?

That portal opened
just as Holden

was getting
close to the surface.

Maybe he's controlling
that thing somehow...

You can't seriously
believe he's controlling...

It opened for him. You saw it.

Look, I don't know what
he's going to do down there,

but I got a bad feeling he's
not gonna come with us quietly.

I want you to take us in
and get as close to that portal

- as fast as you can.
- Without going over the limit.

No freaking shit, Trepp.
That's SOP,

- and it's understood.
- Copy, LT.

Minimum duration braking burn.

Get ready for some pretty
heavy Gs, marines.

Lids on and load up.

I didn't know Jordaan
as well as many of you

who worked with him
and lived at his side.

I only spoke with him
a few times, and...

I regret...
that I didn't know him better.

During the transit,
Jordaan asked me

if... I thought God
wanted us to be here.

I... I didn't know
the answer then,

and... I don't know it now.

What I do believe is that God
wants us to be together,

to care for each other.

"Where two or three gather
together in my name,

there my spirit is also."

We can't know all
of the burdens

that Jordaan carried.

He isn't here anymore
to ask.

But...
we can remember him

and the shared burdens
that we all carry now.

And... we can treat each other
gently,

reach out to those in need.

It will increase our joy
and diminish our pain,

and...
it will honor Jordaan.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Of course.

I didn't expect
to see you here.

- Me neither.
- Thank you for coming.

You're very good at that...

reaching out to people
in pain.

You look preoccupied.

I think I just saw someone
who didn't wanna be seen.

I don't understand.

When Jules Pierre-Mao became
public enemy number one,

he took his whole family down
with him.

All of their assets were
frozen,

several of his family members
were detained and interrogated.

I heard something
about that.

Well, a few of them
managed to disappear.

There were rumors that
they were hiding out

in the backwaters
of the solar system.

You think
one of them is here now?

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.

Jules-Pierre Mao's daughter,
Clarissa.

She was disguised
as a service tech.

I was gonna call security, but...

I was social with Clarissa...
a little.

Look, our fathers are cut
from the same cloth.

If she's on the run
because of him,

I don't want to be responsible
for making it worse.

Are you going to reach out
to her?

- You think I should?
- I think you should do

what you think is right.
You can trust your judgment.

You obviously
don't know me very well.

You might wanna
slow down now.

This feels like one-G.

Yeah, you're welcome.

You got atmosphere too.

Take your hat off.
Show some respect.

I'll pass.

This is what
I need you to do.

Complete that circuit.

What happens
when I do?

The answer to the case...

or...
maybe just the next clue.

What?
Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Finish the job.

Is Miller... in there?

Or just a heap of Protomolecule
pushing my buttons?

You're running
out of time, kid.

Not good enough.

When Miller was on Eros,
he could feel Julie.

It's got nothing
to do with Julie.

Fuck you, then.
For all I know,

touching that
thing could end up

killing everyone I love...

the same people
she died to save.

No risk,
no reward.

You died together.

But she was already gone,
wasn't she?

She couldn't feel
any more pain, but you could.

Did it kill you?

Did it tear you apart,
one atom at a time?

Or did you burn?

Miller?

Miller!

Captain.

Come to check up on me?

Well, you have been down here
a while.

I thought I'd do this
until I could keep my temper...

though I am
getting a lot done.

I should thank you
for that.

I understand
why you let Nagata go.

If I had a chief engineer
who didn't want to be here,

I wouldn't want them around,
either.

But she was your friend.

She is my friend.

No, I always treated
my friends harder...

harsher, to show the crew
I wasn't playing favorites...

even if I was.

You just can't stop
giving me advice, can you?

- I'm trying to help you.
- Yet, still you call me out

in front of the crew.

Yeah, I could've done that
better.

You did what you meant.
You put it in everyone's head.

And after I left, I bet you
were all praise for me, yeah?

How important
it is to respect the captain

and so on.
That way, when the turn come

and you take over,
they all know it was

because you had to.
No choice.

Oh, we have a problem.

And we need to work it out.

Or else what?

Clarissa?

It's Tilly.
Tilly Fagan.

I was friends with your sister,
Julie, a little.

You have me
confused with someone else.

No, I don't.

How did you find me?

There's not that many

civilian contractors on the ship.

It wasn't hard,
once I knew where to look.

I want to help you.

Help me?

I can help you
set things straight.

I'll get you
in touch with my lawyer.

Whatever your dad did
or didn't do,

you had nothing to do
with any of it.

It's not his fault. It's Holden's.

He's gotta pay.

Clarissa, whatever happened,

you have no reason
to be suffering for it.

Julie told me
this... crazy kid's story.

She said...

when a child dies...

some sort of angel...

takes their hand and falls...

halfway, you know,
so they...

wouldn't be afraid.

I tried to be the angel.

But I was...
so scared.

So...

she held my hand.

And I told her...

"If you fall with me...

it ain't gonna
be for halfway."

It's good to see you, Miller.

Holden.

- Holden, stay where you are.
- You stay where you are.

Get the hell out of here,
Bobbie.

- I don't want you to get hurt.
- Listen to me.

- We just wanna talk to you.
- I didn't blow up

- the "Seung Un."
- I never believed you did.

Come with us
and we'll figure it all out.

I can't.
I have to do this.

There's no way to explain,
but you gotta trust me, please.

Think about Amos. Alex.

Think about Naomi.

You're putting them all
in danger.

If you really care about
them, come with us.

- Do not take another step...
- Holden.

Or we will shoot.

It doesn't wanna hurt us.

What the hell?

Grenade!

Now or never, Holden.

Finish it.
