Look at the radiation profile.

It's like a reactor failure.

Yeah, for a gigantic reactor.

So if you don't like it,



what you do is you get a lawyer
and you go to court!

Oh, Earth court?
Mars court?

What Inner court
gives justice to Belters?

Take it up with them.

'Cause we have right
to be here.

You need to go back
to your planet, Inners.

There's no more conversations
about this.

It's not going
the way I hoped.

Jim.

One of the islands
on the other side of Ilus

just exploded

like a thermonuclear bomb.

We think there might be
some kind

of massive fusion reactor
underneath it.



The whole damn thing
just blew.

- Okay, that's bad.
- Very bad.

The first thing
you're gonna feel is

the seismic quake
from the explosion.

It's moving
straight through the planet,

so it'll reach you
in, like, an hour.

Well, we can deal
with an earthquake.

That's not
the problem.

There's a shockwave
coming around the planet

at the speed of sound

with a tsunami behind it.

- Fuck me!
- How long do we have?

The shockwave will hit
in eight to ten hours

with winds of around
200 kilometers per hour.

The tsunami will be there
roughly ten hours after that.

Jesus.
That's gonna put, like,

a third of the continent
underwater.

The settlement
is gonna get wiped

clean off the map.

I'll call you right back.

We have an emergency.

♪ ♪

Ya, we see
the blast.

Im look bad, real bad.
No hoax.

If we pack the Roci

and the two light shuttles
from the Edward

and the one from the Barb,
we can get

everyone here off the ground

in one trip.

We'll transfer people

to the proper ships

as soon as we reach orbit.

Holden!

You brought this on us.

This is your fault.

Look, none of this is useful
right now.

We almost died
coming out here.

Some did.

This was our chance
to make a home.

I fucking get it.

Believe me, I wish
none of this had happened,

but the only thing
we can do now

is leave
before more people die.

Then will you support
our claim?

Tell your friend
the Secretary-General

that we have the right
to be here.

If you do that publicly,

and pledge to help
our colony,

then we'll agree to leave.

I can't speak
for Avasarala, or Earth,

but I give you my word,
I'll do everything I can.

What about
the other islands?

Are we expecting
any more explosions?

I don't think so.

The other islands all appear
to be cooling down,

so small favors.

At times like these,
I'm grateful for those.

It's a much nicer view
from orbit.

I'll be up there soon enough.

♪ ♪

Hey there.

Well, well, well.

You're looking better.

The bar was low.

I need to thank you.

No, you do not.

I would have died.

Yeah, probably,

but you didn't,
so anyways,

I just wanted to give you
some good news.

Your daughter's okay.

Tracked her down.
She's on the Barb.

Can I talk to her?

Of course you can.

Girl, open up a channel

On the Barbapiccola.
You guys want to be alone?

Oh, no, no, no.
It doesn't...

Papa told me
what you did.

All those people

I never meant anyone

Huh.

Looks like the Barb

and the Eddy
are in the same boat.

All their systems
check out okay,

but as soon as they try

zilch.

Great.

So the physics of fusion

have just stopped working.

Looks like that protomolecule
is back at it again.

Fuck!

♪ ♪

Our people have been locked
in their quarters

by corporate soldiers.

They have been executed
without trial,

and now we are being ordered
to evacuate.

We won't stop
anyone else from leaving.

They can go in peace.

But we will not be forced

from our homes again.

Since that
transmission,

it's been radio
silence

from the Rocinante
as well as the Edward Israel.

The Barbapiccola's
low on fuel,

and they only transmit
occasionally

in order to conserve power,
but...

Is it possible
the OPA shot down

the Ring comm relay

to New Terra deliberately?

We considered that,

and formally queried

Medina Station, but...

They denied it.

Yes, ma'am.

They claim they've lost contact
with Ilus as well.

So if we take the OPA
at their word,

it means that we have all
lost contact

with everyone
on that godforsaken planet.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't miss your deadline.

Worried about me?

Only if I have to be.

Woulda been a shit-ton easier

but we'll make it.

Hey.

Thanks for giving a shit.

I keep hearing
this thing.

Come on!

Hurry, hurry!

Everybody all right?

That was the easy part.

Seven hours

You can't take
that one.

You're gonna have to take...

We're okay.

For an earthquake,
it wasn't so bad.

Well, that's
really good to hear, chief,

but, um, that whole, uh,

"come down and swoop you all up
to safety" plan that we had...

- That ain't gonna happen.
- Why not?

Our reactor's out.

All of the reactors are out

on every ship in orbit.

The fuel pellets
are no longer fusing.

Yeah, the old blue goo
went and changed

the laws of physics
on us again.

Our guess is that when

that island
fusion reactor blew,

some system on this planet
decided to keep

anything similar
from happening again.

- What about Miller?
- He's gone.

He helped us
so we could bring him here.

He may be done with us now.

That seems
a little bit ungrateful,

if you ask me.

The light shuttles
in the Israel and the Barb

use chemical rockets,
which means they'll still work.

They're small,
but we can send them

up and down in rotation,

evacuate a dozen
at a time.

- That's gonna be tight.
- We'll make it.

Getting you all off the ground
is only half the problem.

The Barbapiccola
is too low,

and it's not rated
for atmosphere.

First things first.

Not rated
for atmosphere.

What does that mean?

Um...

well, when you all
first got here,

the Barb... it went
into a low orbit, right,

to conserve fuel
for the shuttle

going up and down

to set up the colony.

That low orbit has got
more atmospheric drag.

Slows it down,
makes it fall.

And normally
that's not a problem,

because all you would have
to do to maintain orbit

is speed up.

The Barb's thrusters
were not designed

for this kind of work, and...

The drive is out.

We can't speed up.

So sooner or later,

the Barb will fall

and burn.

The Roci's batteries
will last longer,

but eventually...

We all will.

♪ ♪

- Just make sure that...
- Murtry!

You hear about the reactors?

- Just now.
- So here's plan B.

We shuttle everyone up
until the wave passes,

and we come back down,
set up a new camp

before our ships burn up,
and wait for rescue.

Easier said than done,
but pragmatic.

Good.
We'll need an orderly rotation.

I don't intend to have

any of the Belters
on my shuttle.

They're welcome
to use the heavy

if they can reassemble it.

- I'm done negotiating.
- You said that you'd

endorse their claim.

You made yourself
a partisan in all this.

However, I am willing

to help get them up safely
and back down again,

provided they dump

all the illegally mined lithium
on their ship.

Goddamn it, their ship
is going down anyway.

Well, don't underestimate
yourself.

We might find a way
to fix the reactors.

Consider it a gesture
of good will.

You're not saving them.

You're just killing them
slower.

Well, they can stay
on the surface,

greet the wave
that you unleashed.

I'll talk to them.
No promises.

But you gotta start bringing
your shuttles down right now.

Fine, but I'm only sending
one of them.

I'm not risking them both,
no matter what deal you make.

We'll just have to make
that work, then, won't we?

into a reinforced shelter

that can handle
200-kilometer-per-hour winds

and massive flooding.

Plan C sounds

Those structures have been here
for over a billion years.

If anything can survive
what's coming, it's that.

There's no way in.

I've been inside.

What?

There was no entrance.

That man inside my head
opened a door

and then closed it again.

We'll have to make
our own way in.

We have mining charges.
We'll blast it open.

that works,

We'll be sending
an unmanned probe

to New Terra.

It's the fastest way
to reestablish communication

with our expedition.

The OPA has no objection
to that.

We weren't asking
for permission.

Uh, does the UN
have any theories

as to what may have happened
on Ilus, hmm?

Um, simultaneously
losing contact

with three ships in orbit...

...that can't be a coincidence.

The probe will reach New Terra
in 15 days.

We'll know more then.
In the meantime,

we have other issues
to deal with.

Yes, the Sojourner.

had been destroyed.

Do you know
who was behind the attack?

Marco Inaros, a terrorist.

He will be killed.

He should've been already.

Before our missiles
destroyed the Sojourner,

a surveillance satellite
on Luna

detected a high-intensity laser

from the vessel.

That's a tight-beam comm laser?

That's what we think.

Based on the direction,

it would suggest
that telemetry was being sent

to the Belt during the attack,

to an unregistered OPA relay,
perhaps?

Perhaps.

We will let you know
what we find.

Good. Next time,
we'll meet on the Tripoli

so I can return
the hospitality.

By order of UNN Fleet Command,

we will be remaining

to control.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
