♪ ♪
[Marco] My name
is Marco Inaros.
I am the commander
of the Free Navy,
and we are the ones
responsible
for striking our oppressors
on Earth and Mars.
This attack was retribution
for generations of atrocities
committed by the Inners
against innocent Belters.
♪ ♪
The Free Navy now possesses
the last remaining sample
of the protomolecule.
The Ring Gates
and the Ring Worlds
belong to the Belt.
Today and forevermore,
we are free.

♪ ♪
[newscaster]
High population density
in the affected areas
makes estimates difficult,
but it appears
that initial fatalities
will be in the range
of 1 million to 2 million.
The impacts have wreaked havoc
on power, transportation,
and desalinization
infrastructures
far beyond
the immediate blast zones.
And with Earth's aid resources
already stretched
to their limit,
the worst is
almost certainly yet to come.
[hand terminal beeping]
Yes.
[Oksana] Camina, are you okay?
- Yes.
It's all right
to say you're not.
If it hadn't been Marco,
it would have been
someone else.
[Drummer] It wasn't
someone else; it was him.
And I'm the one
who had him in an air lock
and let him go.
That is hindsight.
You cannot live backward.
[Drummer] Right now, it's
difficult to move forward.
Naomi... this...
this will be
breaking her heart.
We should gather.
Better to be together
in a moment like this.
All right.
We'll prepare to dock.
Thank you.

Never thought
I would see this.
I read they were dancing
in the corridors
of Ceres and Pallas.
[Michio] I don't believe that.
The Inners will believe it.
All Belters
are the same to them.
[Michio] You think
they will come after us?
At a minimum, after this,
every Inner ship and station
will be on high alert.
They will restrict traffic.
Business just got harder.
This isn't
about business anymore.
All Belters will have to answer
for Marco's deeds now.
[Serge]
Maybe it was inevitable.
[Drummer] Fred Johnson
didn't believe that.
I heard he was a good man...
for an Earther.
He was a good man.
Period.
♪ ♪
[indistinct chatter]
I saw your message
when the comm buffered.
I did not mean to.
It just happened.
But you have to tell them.
[Serge]
Maybe this means a future
without Earth's boot
on our neck.
Can't be sad about that.
The Inners
never shed tears for us.
It's hard to grieve
too much for them.
Best for us to do
is keep to the shadows
until it all plays out.
No shadows for us.
Marco Inaros
has asked us to meet.

How bad?
I don't know.
My hand hurts.
[inhales sharply, groans]
I'll see if I can find
something to make a splint.
That must've been
an earthquake.
There was a meteor hit
in Africa.
Africa?
Maybe this is
the aftershock from that.
If that was an aftershock,
that was one hell of a meteor.
Looks like I stayed
on this mudball a day too long.

Good question.
Open the door.

I'm gonna go find help.
Fuck that!

This place could come
crashing down any minute.
Just pull.

Peaches, let's go.
- You're not going anywhere.
- Wrong.
We're in lockdown.
Inmates remain in place

Until?
You still haven't
heard anything?
No.
Not yet.
You're responsible

I am making myself
responsible for hers.
Her mods are blocked.
Her hand is busted.
She is not a threat,

Is there another set of stairs?
It's a maximum security

They didn't design it
with a lot of escape routes.
There must be
a ventilation shaft.
Yeah, 20 centimeters wide.
How skinny can you get?

There should be

And I'll eat them

take over now?
How are you gonna
make that happen, exactly?
You gonna get to see soon.

Which station do you mean?
There are so many...

Tell me what you know.

Okay.
I need you to sink one here

go up with him,
make the holes,
he opens the panels,
and then we get the fuck
out of here.
Do this, you're a shoo-in

[reporter] A source inside
the MCR Security Service
suggested the bombing
of Martian Parliament
might be linked
to the asteroid bombardment
of Earth and the attack
on Tycho Station.
If that is true,
then Marco Inaros
and his so-called Free Navy
will have coordinated
the most devastating terrorist
campaign in human history.
We will continue
to keep you updated
as this story develops.
We gotta contact Holden.
[Bobbie] No.
[Alex] They have
the protomolecule.
And there's nothing we can do
to help him with that.
But we might be able
to do something about this.

these traitors are mixed up
in the whole goddamn thing.
We maintain radio silence.
[computer beeping]
Hey, the Barkeith
and her escort
just killed their transponders.
Yeah,
they're changing direction.
Do you think they saw us?
Even if they were
looking our way,
in this ship, on our heading,
we'd just look like tourists
en route to Titan.
Where are they going?
We'll, they're bending sunward.
Let's see.
Looks like
they're gonna intersect
with the Hungaria Group.
You say that like
I should know what it is.
[Alex] It's kind of a landmark.
Innermost large
asteroid group in the Belt.
Nothing of interest to miners
but very high albedo.
So just a bunch
of bright and shiny rocks.
When you think about it,
not a bad place to hide.
With all the light
coming off those rocks,
you park a ship near one,
went silent,
pretty much disappear
from most scopes.
Sounds like
a great rendezvous spot
if you don't want people
seeing what you're doing.
- Yep.
- What are you waiting for?
Change course.
We're following.
[Alex] We do that now,
it's gonna attract attention.
We're not gonna
look like tourists.
Everything that
just went down on Earth
and Mars and Tycho,
these people
are mixed up in it.
We can't let them get away.
We've got a fast ship.
We can run if we have to.
All right.
Gonna take the long way
around, though,
and try and keep as many
of the Hungaria rocks
between us as I can
to block their line of sight.
That's our best shot
at staying hidden.
