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.

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,

I'll do everything I can.

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.

Of course you can.

You guys want to be alone?
Oh, no, no, no.
It doesn't...

All their systems

zilch.
Great.
So the physics of fusion
have just stopped working.
Looks like that protomolecule
is back at it again.

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?

Woulda been a shit-ton easier

Hey.
Thanks for giving a shit.
I keep hearing
this thing.
Come on!

Grab that!
Hurry, hurry!
Everybody all right?
Everyone back to work.
That was the easy part.
Seven hours

Let's be off the ground
when it does.
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.

If anything can survive
what's coming, it's that.
There's no way in.

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,
