Inside The Expanse s02e05 Episode Script
Season 2, Episode 5
You belong with me.
Just reading it on the page, it was my favorite scene of the whole season.
It's just heartbreaking.
I don't think there would be a dry eye in the house with Miller and Julie descending into Venus.
Losing Thomas Jane, boy It was hard, and emotional, and He, in many ways, became the heart and soul of this show, with his first movement.
Miller's arc is really at the core of it.
Yeah I missed you, too.
Julie and Miller's story is very similar to what it is in the book.
When Hawk and I first read "Leviathan Wakes" and we got to the scene where Miller understands what his whole life was about.
We read it, I mean, just weeping in tears.
You know, I don't read books and start weeping.
He finally finds a cause.
He finally finds something that he can believe in.
He sees this woman who is everything he should have been, and is shamed by it, and his reaction is Maybe I can save her.
Crawl in there and blow up the thing that ate Julie? I think it's the best bad idea I've heard all day.
I think it is a redemption within Holden dies, because he sees a man who be so jaded Miller? What the hell's happening down there? Stop chasing Eros! I can't do that! Tap the brakes, then, asshole! He's just looking for his girl, and he concisely does the right thing for everyone else.
I think that the poetry in that, is that finding something to believe in within his kind of concept of Julie, allows him to realize his larger humanity.
And that's something that Holden not only respects, but aspires to.
It's all on you now, Miller.
There are a lot of reasons for him to question his own reception of what's going on.
At some point it just becomes impossible to ignore that there's something of her still in the station.
Julie Mao's dead.
We both saw her.
She's the seed crystal.
Mark Fergus has always talked about that particular scene as the entire reason he wanted to do the series and the books.
It is a beautiful ending of a very long, redemptive arc, and a romantic journey for Miller.
When he finally meets Julie, it's in this particular state.
You need to wake up now, kid.
The protomolecule in episode five of the second season, the way we've conceived it, is it has completely engulfed the asteroid Eros, centralized around Julie Mao, who we last saw in season one as a dead body.
And when Miller, after his journey, gets into her room, is that the protomolecule is effectively exaulting her, it's almost an altar.
In the description in the scripts, we went with this sort of almost like a temple, that has been built around her.
That she is the center of the hive, of this thing that's being built, and that she's in this place that is almost reverent.
When we read it, we decided that we really wanted to do this series.
It was such an amazing and beautiful end to this strange love story between Miller and Julie Mao.
And this was really the climax of it, and the great kind of self-sacrificial end, so we really wanted to get it right.
