Back to the Butcher is the fifth episode in the first season of The Expanse. It premiered on January 5, 2016 on Syfy.

Synopsis[]

Holden and crew make a deal with an unlikely ally on Tycho Station. Along with his conspiracy theories about Julie Mao, Miller’s obsession with the missing girl intensifies.

Recap[]

In a series of flashbacks to 11 years earlier, we learn about the tragedy of Anderson Station, in which a group of working-class miners had ceased their work in protest of the low-oxygen working conditions that had caused their children to develop hypoxic brain injury.

After a series of threats from the U.N. Marines, the miners attempted to surrender, though they ended up being executed — every last man, woman and child — by Colonel Fred Johnson, who earned the nickname 'The Butcher of Anderson Station' for his actions.

In the present day, Fred Johnson is the head of operations at Tycho Station, where he's offered a safe port for the survivors on board the runaway Mars vessel, the Tachi. Naomi doesn't trust Johnson, though after admitting they have nowhere else to go, she agrees to set a course for Tycho … a process that involves changing the Tachi's transponder code and giving the ship a new name. Holden christens their vessel the Rocinante and he, Naomi, Amos and Alex head to their new destination, hoping that their current track record doesn't result in Tycho Station being blown to smithereens, too.

On Ceres, Detective Miller has a heated exchange with his wounded partner, Havelock, before continuing his search for Julie Mao as the rest of Star Helix Security hunts down Havelock's attacker, a Loca Greiga thug named Filat Kothari. Miller studies the documents found inside the dead data broker, which contain a flight path for a ship called the Anubis. Fueled by coffee instead of his usual booze, Miller theorizes a link between the Anubis and Julie's ship, the Scopuli ... and, perhaps, with the destruction of both the Canterbury and the Donnager.

As Miller tracks down the rude dock worker who got roughed up by Julie, he's visited by Anderson Dawes, who admits that Julie was indeed OPA. In return for being kept in the loop on Miller's investigation, Dawes offers him access to Filat Kothari, who's being held at an OPA safehouse.

For now, Miller opts not to engage in vigilante justice and tracks down the dock worker, Neville Bosch. Once upon a time, Julie chartered Neville's ship as she commenced with her Belt-hopping, sticking it to her rich daddy and becoming more involved with the OPA … perhaps dangerously so. When Miller inquires about how one would go about scoring a data broker, Bosch tells him to go to Tech Noir and say he's "looking for a Sherpa."

Miller does so and is taken to a back room, where the so-called 'Sherpa' is nowhere to be found. Miller already knows the data broker is in the morgue. However, the sight of a half-repaired mechanical hamster sparks a memory, and upon returning to Julie Mao's apartment he finds a data cube that he hides in his hat.

The episode ends outside of Julie's apartment, where a bag is put over Miller's head by two unknown attackers …[1]

$. [05:07.26]: Is anybody following us? No, sir.
Scope's clear.
$. [05:10.85]: I shut down the drive
and the transponder
$. [05:12.35]: as soon as we'd cleared
the debris field.
$. [05:14.39]: And right now, we're just a
tumbleweedin' piece of scrap metal.
$. [05:17.11]: So, as far as we know, nobody
made it off the Donnager...
$. [05:20.07]: That's correct.
(INDICATOR BEEPING)
$. [05:21.86]: And no one knows that we're alive?
ALEX: That's right.
$. [05:26.62]: Then who

$. [07:15.18]: MAN: (OVER PA) Anderson
Station, this is UN1.
$. [07:17.68]: Are you ready
to surrender?
$. [07:27.78]: FRED: Survivors
of the Donnager,
$. [07:29.65]: my name is
Fred Johnson,
$. [07:31.53]: Director of Operations
at Tycho Station.
$. [07:34.70]: I don't know
who you are,
$. [07:35.91]: or what your intent
may be,
$. [07:37.70]: but unless you're trying
to start a war,
$. [07:39.66]: you need
to contact me.
$. [07:41.25]: I can help you.
$. [07:43.38]: He shouldn't have
been able to track us.
$. [07:45.30]: But he did.
$. [07:48.26]: Hey, isn't he some kinda
big-shot for the OPA?
$. [07:51.05]: Yeah, what
does it matter?
$. [07:53.51]: (SIGHS) He offered us help.
$. [07:55.89]: We have to go
somewhere.
$. [07:57.64]: Well, I say we fly to the nearest
Mars base and turn ourselves in.
$. [08:00.77]: AMOS: That's
an excellent idea.
$. [08:02.19]: We'll just roll up in a
stolen Mickey Corvette,
$. [08:05.23]: with a dead Martian
in the trunk.
$. [08:07.65]: I'm sure they'll roll
out the red carpet.
$. [08:08.86]: ALEX:
Hey, smart-ass.
$. [08:09.90]: A lot of good Martians
died saving our lives,
$. [08:12.24]: so we get
the truth out.
$. [08:13.57]: HOLDEN: The comms on the
Donnager were jammed
$. [08:15.45]: during the attack.
$. [08:16.99]: The only Martians who'd
believe us are dead.
$. [08:19.08]: So, let's just
burn hard to Ceres
$. [08:21.54]: and we'll take
our chances.
$. [08:23.08]: HOLDEN: No port is going to let
us dock with our transponder off.
$. [08:25.54]: And the minute
we turn it on,
$. [08:26.96]: every Martian ship in the
system will know it.
$. [08:30.38]: Think about it,
$. [08:31.76]: we're the only survivors from the
Canterbury and the Donnager.
$. [08:36.76]: We look like
terrorists.
$. [08:38.93]: No one's gonna believe our story.
I wouldn't believe us.
$. [08:41.81]: Fred Johnson just
offered us a lifeline.
$. [08:44.81]: I say we take it.
$. [08:47.23]: We're not going
to Tycho.
$. [08:51.99]: You got
any other ideas?
$. [08:54.11]: You can't trust
Fred Johnson.
$. [08:57.03]: We all know
what he's capable of.
$. [08:58.74]: That was, like, 1 O years ago.
People change.
$. [09:01.45]: The Martians said
you were OPA.
$. [09:04.42]: Stop talking about stuff
that you know nothing about,
$. [09:06.96]: because“.
$. [09:10.42]: I vote "no."
$. [09:17.10]: Holden's got a point.
$. [09:18.51]: We gotta go
somewhere.
$. [09:24.52]: NAOMI: Amos?
$. [09:28.23]: I'm with you,
boss.
$. [09:29.98]: NAOMI: Then it's
two against two.
$. [09:32.32]: We're not going
anywhere.
$. [09:45.33]: (TERMINAL PLAYING)
$. [09:48.00]: Heard it was Golden Bough
that took out the Donnager.
$. [09:49.67]: OPA's got
gunships now, too.
$. [09:51.38]: COMMUTER: Things just
getting started.
$. [09:53.38]: Dirtsiders won't pay us no
mind, unless we make them.
$. [09:57.84]: (COMMUTERS EXCLAIMING)
$. [10:03.35]: Star Helix, guys.
Just calm down, okay?
$. [10:06.77]: The power will be
back on in a minute.
$. [10:09.15]: Course it is.
$. [10:11.15]: BELTER: No Earther's pet
gonna tell me to calm down.
$. [10:13.69]: (OMINOUS VOICES TALKING)
$. [10:20.20]: BELTER: It's over, cop...
$. [10:25.54]: Hey, what're you doing?
Are you crazy?
$. [10:27.87]: BELTER: He don't deserve to
breathe the Belter folks' air.
$. [10:31.00]: (BELTER LAUGHING)
$. [10:32.46]: BELTER: Watch your eyes, cop.
$. [10:36.72]: (ALL GASPING)
$. [10:38.30]: MAN:
I wanna kill that guy.
$. [10:41.81]: POCK MARK: (OVER TERMINAL)
Remember the Cant'?
$. [10:44.52]: His name's
Filat Kothari,
$. [10:46.56]: Loca Greiga muscle.
$. [10:48.06]: POCK MARK: (OVER TERMINAL)
Sayonara, Ceres,
$. [10:50.36]: that's my going-away
present to you!
$. [10:52.69]: Onto bigger
and better things.
$. [10:55.61]: It was posted a couple minutes ago.
It's everywhere.
$. [10:59.61]: MUSS: Does Miller know yet?
$. [11:01.07]: He didn't show
today.
$. [11:10.25]: Anubis...
$. [11:13.46]: Show me this, uh,
ship's flight path.
$. [11:16.71]: (COMPUTER BEEPING)
$. [11:20.68]: Show me...
$. [11:23.14]: Julie's projected flight
path for the Scopuli.
$. [11:27.39]: Go 3D.
$. [11:28.64]: (COMPUTER BEEPING)
$. [11:43.28]: In the wake of
the riots,
$. [11:44.41]: the Governor's orders were to
prooeed with extreme caution
$. [11:46.29]: when dealing with any
known OPA members...
$. [11:49.12]: Luckily, this asshole's not OPA.
$. [11:52.29]: So, if he resists,
take him out.
$. [11:54.54]: If he runs,
shoot him.
$. [11:56.17]: And if he accidentally
falls out an airlock,
$. [11:59.05]: that's life.
$. [12:01.68]: Havelock is one of us.
This is still our station.
$. [12:05.22]: Let's make sure that people
don't think otherwise.
$. [12:08.22]: (ALL MURMURING)
$. [12:12.73]: Semi.
Long time, partner.
$. [12:14.98]: Listen,
I need a favor.
$. [12:16.36]: I need you to run down
$. [12:17.53]: a transponder code
for me, okay?
$. [12:18.94]: It's for a ship called the
"Anubus, " or, "Anubis-"
$. [12:21.45]: I'm going to spell it.
A-N-U-B-I-S.
$. [12:26.49]: Thanks, buddy,
I owe you one.
$. [12:30.00]: Or, are we even?
$. [12:32.00]: (TAPPING ON WINDOW)
$. [12:42.01]: What're you
doing here?
$. [12:44.09]: Oh... Could ask you
the same thing.
$. [12:45.93]: Figured you'd be
out hunting down
$. [12:47.39]: the guy who jacked
up your partner.
$. [12:49.52]: Yeah, yeah, I'm just finishing
up a few things, urn...
$. [12:54.15]: What's that smell?
$. [12:56.23]: It's called, uh, coffee.
$. [12:57.86]: That's what I mean.
$. [13:02.53]: Since when
do you drink coffee?
$. [13:10.41]: Have you seen the footage
of Havelock and Kothari?
$. [13:12.46]: (SIGHS)
$. [13:14.37]: Planning on doing
anything about it?
$. [13:15.75]: MILLER: Yeah.
$. [13:16.83]: I was planning on hunting the
guy down and killing him.
$. [13:19.38]: Real slow.
$. [13:21.88]: Where's the guy
going to go?
$. [13:29.64]: (COMPUTER BEEPING)
$. [13:32.89]: Oh.
$. [13:34.48]: Right after you find
your little rich girl,
$. [13:36.27]: shake down her daddy
for a big payday.
$. [13:38.65]: Yeah, that's it.
You got me.
$. [13:41.61]: All right. Well, Miller.
I'll, I'll leave you to it.
$. [13:48.83]: You know, everything
going on out there,
$. [13:50.95]: all this shitstorm
that we're in,
$. [13:52.70]: it's all got to do
with her.
$. [13:55.21]: Julie Mao.
$. [13:58.75]: Okay.
I'm listening.
$. [14:01.09]: You know
that memory crypt
$. [14:02.26]: that we took out
of that stiff?
$. [14:03.76]: Yeah? All right. Go 3D.
$. [14:05.80]: It had an unregistered
flight path
$. [14:07.93]: for a ship called
the Anubis, Anubis.
$. [14:11.10]: The Anubis left
Phoebe Research Station,
$. [14:14.14]: and it was headed
for Eros, okay?
$. [14:17.44]: Now, I'm thinking,
$. [14:19.98]: "Hmm, maybe something's being
transported on this ship."
$. [14:24.36]: I'm thinking, "Julie's ship was
sent out to intercept it."
$. [14:29.45]: And then, suddenly,
$. [14:32.04]: ships start blowing up, the
Canterbury, the Donnager,
$. [14:35.04]: it's got to be
connected.
$. [14:37.71]: Does Shaddid know
about any of this?
$. [14:40.25]: MILLER: I told her about Julie,
I told her about the Scopuli.
$. [14:42.80]: I don't know,
she didn't bite.
$. [14:45.05]: I need more...
$. [14:47.13]: I need more pieces
to the puzzle.
$. [14:49.97]: What do you think
is on this "Anubis"?
$. [14:54.31]: Something.
$. [14:56.31]: Something worth spilling
a lot of blood oven
$. [14:58.90]: Miller,
$. [15:02.73]: maybe this is
above your pay-grade.
$. [15:04.98]: (EXHALES)
$. [15:10.32]: You don't think
I can do it, huh?
$. [15:12.62]: You don't think
I can crack the case?
$. [15:16.66]: No, I mean, you need
to take this upstairs.
$. [15:19.87]: Yeah, well, maybe.
$. [15:24.13]: Until then,
I'll just, uh...
$. [15:26.17]: I guess I'll do
my pathetic best.
$. [15:46.11]: MARAMA: (OVER PA) Yeah, we
hear you loud and clear, UN 1,
$. [15:47.86]: but we don't think
that you're hearing us.
$. [15:50.36]: The terms we've outlined
are clear and simple,
$. [15:52.62]: and until they're met, we're not
giving up control of this station.
$. [15:57.70]: We want to negotiate
peacefully...
$. [15:59.16]: UN COMMAND: (OVER PA) Mr. Marama, I
need you to listen very carefully.
$. [16:01.71]: We will not
listen to threats.
$. [16:03.58]: We do not negotiate
with terrorists.
$. [16:05.38]: Is that clear?
Yes,
I understand.
$. [16:07.00]: Think about your children.
UN Command out.
$. [16:10.30]: Anderson Station out.
$. [16:18.89]: We've taken this
as far as we can.
$. [16:20.43]: Aw, the hell
we have!
$. [16:21.89]: It's only been
a few days.
$. [16:22.98]: They're not going to attack
a bunch of civilians.
$. [16:25.06]: They're calling
us terrorists.
$. [16:26.23]: Of course
they are!
$. [16:28.44]: Gero, we need
to surrender now.
$. [16:31.07]: I'll take charge if
you're losing your nerve.
$. [16:32.91]: You can't
tell us to stop.
$. [16:34.37]: You don't speak
for all of us.
$. [16:36.03]: We voted together, and we're
all in this together.
$. [16:38.95]: GERO: We're not
giving up on this.
$. [16:40.54]: We should've dumped a few
more bosmang into space,
$. [16:42.29]: when we had
the chance.
$. [16:43.50]: The station manager
was an accident.
$. [16:46.13]: Is that the kind of
people we are now?
$. [16:47.42]: No, that's the kind of
people they made us.
$. [16:50.72]: We have to
fight back.
$. [16:52.59]: With what?
$. [16:54.68]: We're not soldiers.
$. [16:56.47]: (ALL ARGUING)
$. [16:59.35]: GERO:
If we surrender now,
$. [17:01.06]: it's as good as
killing our own children.
$. [17:03.90]: (RUMBLING) What the
hell was that?
$. [17:06.61]: They've taken out
the generators!
$. [17:08.07]: (SCREAMING) Don't
be scared, okay?
$. [17:10.19]: Shh, Shh, shh.

I'm an engineer?
$. [18:06.67]: Show me drive diagnostics
and core levels.
$. [18:10.34]: Life support.
$. [18:11.55]: (CONTROL PANEL BEEPING)
$. [18:18.51]: What's going on?
$. [18:20.64]: Oh, I don't know,
ask the ship,
$. [18:23.10]: it seems
to know everything.
$. [18:25.81]: It sure beats the buckets that
we've been on in the past.
$. [18:28.52]: There's nothing to fix.
You fixed my leg.
$. [18:33.53]: Why not go to Tycho, if we
got nowhere else to go?
$. [18:36.49]: It's a long story.
$. [18:38.53]: (SIGHING)
$. [18:41.24]: I always back your play because
you always do the right thing.
$. [18:45.66]: But usually,
I can figure out why.
$. [18:47.29]: It's not the place.
It's the man.
$. [18:49.33]: Fred Johnson?
You know him?

$. [19:26.91]: (COFFEE MACHINE BEEPING)

We're good to go.
$. [19:42.14]: You talked Naomi
into it?
$. [19:44.01]: With our track record, we'll probably
get Tycho blown to smithereens, too.

detective's drinking.
$. [20:26.10]: JAVIER: Right away, Mr. Dawes.
$. [20:27.68]: Nothing for me.

the day, beratna.
$. [20:39.49]: To keeping
the peace...
$. [20:44.32]: You know, the holding cells
are full of OPA tats.
$. [20:48.79]: Street trash and radical
factions are not OPA,
$. [20:52.67]: despite what their
skin tells you.
$. [20:55.63]: Good answer.
$. [20:59.55]: I'm sorry
about your partner.
$. [21:01.30]: An appalling
injustice.
$. [21:03.55]: And I assure you,
$. [21:04.68]: the piece of trash who tried to
crucify him is not one of our ranks.
$. [21:12.18]: What's worse, he's
not even remorseful.
$. [21:22.28]: How would
you know that?
$. [21:24.16]: Because,
as we speak,
$. [21:25.74]: he's in
an OPA safe house.
$. [21:29.54]: He believes he's
under my protection.
$. [21:35.08]: (SIGHS)

of the station.
$. [22:01.61]: And if the Earthers
don't play nice...
$. [22:04.86]: All we've ever known
$. [22:05.99]: is low-g and an atmosphere
we can't breathe.
$. [22:10.41]: Earthers get to walk
outside into the light,
$. [22:15.50]: breathe pure air,
$. [22:18.75]: look up at a blue sky, and see
something that gives them hope.
$. [22:23.76]: And what do they do?
$. [22:26.55]: They look past that light...
Past that blue sky...
$. [22:31.26]: They see the stars,
and they think, "Mine."
$. [22:39.19]: What's your point?
$. [22:43.32]: Earthers have a home.
$. [22:46.53]: It's time Belters
had one, too.

you think is right to...
$. [23:20.65]: Sounds like a bribe.
$. [23:22.69]: I haven't asked
you for anything.
$. [23:26.40]: Yet. What do you want?
$. [23:29.78]: A simple exchange
of information.
$. [23:36.70]: Julie Mao was one of ours.
$. [23:40.04]: I want to find out what happened
to her just as much as you do.
$. [23:49.55]: You think a man like Filat
Kothari deserves to walk free?
$. [23:54.35]: Because he will.

knows this is happening?

need to surrender.

for the destruction of The Canterbury,

impoverished Medina District.

a couple of years ago. It was nothing.
$. [28:11.81]: Why? Why would she charter
a piece of shit like this?
$. [28:17.28]: She wanted to tour the Belt. Figured
her for a dirtsider, slumming.

$. [28:40.88]: You're as wrong
about her as I was.
$. [28:43.55]: Yeah?
$. [28:47.01]: A month into the trip, we stopped
over at the mines on Callisto.
$. [28:50.98]: News was that a tunnel collapse
had torn open veins of cadmium,

dying from the vapors.

to get out of there.

She said she felt safe.

$. [29:06.41]: breathing the same poisoned
air as those Belters,
$. [29:08.49]: eating the same
contaminated food.
$. [29:10.33]: She was helping kids
who'd lost their parents,
$. [29:13.54]: folks who were choking on
the blood in their lungs.
$. [29:16.79]: I never saw her shed a tear
over the fact that she had
$. [29:19.46]: to take anti-cancer meds
for the rest of her life...
$. [29:25.76]: Only time I did
see her cry was, uh...
$. [29:29.85]: These Belters
at a rally,
$. [29:31.98]: they told her,
"You're one of us now."
$. [29:35.23]: You admired her.
$. [29:39.02]: And how long were you
sleeping with her?

here to find out?

that whole mess out there?
$. [29:57.96]: Julie was on it.
$. [30:02.05]: Jesus... Jesus Christ.
$. [30:05.88]: You were trying to stop her from
getting involved in something ugly.
$. [30:10.01]: I want to know what it was.
$. [30:16.40]: She was hanging around
some hardcore OPA.
$. [30:19.23]: Like?
$. [30:21.07]: Anderson Dawes.
$. [30:24.49]: What for?
$. [30:25.78]: I don't know.
$. [30:26.91]: A few weeks
before she shipped out,
$. [30:28.03]: she asked me to hook her
up with a data broker.
$. [30:34.62]: This guy-
$. [30:36.50]: Where can I find him?

kill me if I told you.

at the morgue.
$. [30:48.01]: He's on his way
to the recycler.

for a Sherpa.

Yeah.
$. [31:08.28]: Do you think Julie's dead?
$. [31:11.58]: You should've stopped her.
$. [31:13.95]: Nobody could stop Julie from
doing anything she wanted to do.
