Snowpiercer (2020) s04e03 Episode Script
Life Source
RUTH: [NARRATING] I was a
wild one growing up.
Sort of the leader of a
group of girls in town.
Not exactly good girls, either.
We were always pinching
sweets or magazines
from the corner shop.
One day, the shopkeeper had had enough
and he grabbed the
youngest of us by the arm.
I told everyone to
run, so they did, and we
met up in the back alley.
Are we safe?
We've added extra patrols. Yes.
- So Audrey's still alive?
- Oh, yes.
Audrey's still fighting. Still fighting.
- Who took Liana?
- We don't know yet.
Just give us a minute, will you?
Shopkeeper let her go before too long.
But I'll never forget
the look in her eye
when she found us,
like we'd betrayed her.
JOSIE: Layton? Did you find anything?
Their shoes are gone.
JOSIE: What?
Her dead husband's shoes.
She keeps them here,
but they're gone now.
That and all of her personal
items from her couchette.
What does that tell you?
She didn't have time to pack?
Layton!
She didn't come up with this on the fly.
Those soldiers have been
watching us for a while, waiting.
What? To kidnap a child?
Might have been Headwood's idea.
Part of a larger plan.
She's been obsessed with
Liana since Zarah was pregnant.
But I just don't see how this helps us.
It doesn't. Just lets me know
how to treat her when I find her.
Ruth!
Ruth.
We need to convene the
council as soon as possible.
RUTH: What's happened?
We're going to need the engine.
Alex, how long will it take to unhook
this thing from the grid and
get it up and running again?
- Unhook what?
- We're going after Snowpiercer.
It's my only lead to find Liana.
Whoa, Layton, I'm sorry about
Liana. It's not that simple.
It took me months to convert the
train and get New Eden running.
We cannot just press start and go.
For more reasons than one.
Snowpiercer can't be
more than a week away.
I can find them. I just need the
engine, and and a few cars, and
Can we just slow down and talk
about this for a minute, please?
Every second we spend discussing
it, Liana gets further away.
I think that Ruth is just looking
to discuss options, Layton.
The only thing we need to be discussing
is how long it will
take to get Big Alice up
and running again, Alex.
Do not answer that question, Alex.
Answer the question, Alex.
This engine is not
going anywhere until we
discuss this as a council.
There's no unilateral
decisions being made.
This is not the
democracy you fought for.
Layton.
RUTH: I never wanted anyone to
look at me like that again.
But it may be the price I'll have
to pay for protecting this pocket
of humanity we call New Eden.
471 souls strong.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
Move.
[BANGING]
Wakey, wakey.
[BANGING]
Time's up.
[GRUNT]
Are you taking my spot?
Come on.
[BACKGROUND COMMOTION]
Pick that up!
Come on, keep going!
All right, move!
Come on.
You listening to me?
[BACKGROUND COMMOTION]
Hey. Look after this for a sec.
They put you in a box?
They tortured you.
Worry about Audrey not me.
Audrey is a survivor.
We've got to keep the faith
that she made it to New Eden.
Faith.
I've got news for you, Bennett.
No one from up high
is coming to save us.
Look what the admiral's done.
Not to the train, to the people.
See, the problem is,
while the man's crazy,
the mission's still sound.
New Eden proves that.
Even if it means turning
the train into a labor camp?
You can't tell me that
was part of Melanie's plan.
- No.
- The guy lies.
He treats us like shit.
He plots who knows
what against New Eden.
We have to take him down.
Okay. Okay.
Till.
Till.
Listen. Listen to me.
Let's at least find out what he's up to,
then we take him down.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
LAYTON: It's not rocket science.
I won't catch them without Big Alice.
Right, but attempting to
steal the engine isn't the way.
- We have protocols.
- There's protocols for kidnappings now?
Do you realize you're making
a mockery of the whole system
- you just helped set up?
- This is bullshit.
- Where is Roche so we can vote?
- He's out on patrol.
Don't presume that he would
ever vote for you anyway.
Guys, we're all friends here.
Can we just start
acting like it, please?
Look, I don't pretend to know
what you're going through, Andre.
Zarah was a friend, and Liana
but we need Big Alice to survive.
Including Ag-Sec.
So it's true.
Layton's leaving?
- Not yet.
- Nothing's been decided.
I hope not.
Because we can't heat
Ag-Sec without the engine,
let alone the entire town.
That's not exactly true.
The engine does help power
New Eden, but maybe
There's no maybe.
Solar and wind are unreliable
because the climate is unpredictable.
And geothermal doesn't
charge the battery
arrays enough to offset
Big Alice's production.
The bottom line is the engine is
our only constant,
reliable power source.
Without it, New Eden will not survive.
That's it.
Look, I don't want to
jeopardize New Eden.
This is my home, too.
But where does that leave me?
Dunno.
But the days of
hijacking trains are over.
Okay, so I'm just supposed to wait
around until the kidnappers decide
to bring her back, right?
Y'all done lost your damn minds.
No one is saying that.
You.
Let's go.
Maybe after my shower.
Thank you.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I'll be back.
Save me some soap.
This was Lieutenant Jason Lee.
He was a loyal soldier.
If you're trying to scare me,
you're about nine years too late.
And if you think I'd use the
death of one of my men that way,
then you severely underestimate me.
I brought you here because
I have an offer for you.
Cooperate, and I could
reduce the workers'
shifts back down to 12 hours.
You make him the same offer?
Lieutenant Lee was
electrocuted doing a job
he wasn't qualified to do.
But you are.
Down in Ag-Sec.
Ag-Sec?
What does Ag-Sec have
to do with the retrofit?
Nothing. But Nima here joined us on
the last stop bearing gifts.
A new fertilizer he's
been cooking up that
could help with our food supply issues.
So you work us to the bone,
feed us scraps for months,
and now, you care?
Your people are dropping like flies.
This could help.
- Doc?
- It's
it's a potent synthetic compound.
Could double food production.
We just need you to reroute the
electrical panels and redirect
ventilation for dispersal.
Which is how this happened?
Again, a task for an
engineer, not a soldier.
So, what do you say?
You could be a hero, or
watch a fellow passenger
wind up on the slab.
Your call.
10 hour shifts for the crew.
And I'll need another
pair of hands to help out.
- Till.
- Done.
Zero to hero.
I like it.
It's a risk.
These chemicals are are
are dangerous or volatile.
If the engineer does the job
right, it won't be a problem.
He's important to Mel.
Our mission is important to the world.
Mel will understand.
Layton.
- Hey, Layton.
- What?
Can you just come back with me?
Maybe we can talk to Ruth privately
and work something out.
I'm not groveling to
Ruth or the council.
What? No one's asking you to.
Everyone wants to go after Liana.
We just we have to
be smart about this.
I'm not hearing anything smart,
and I'm not hearing any
solutions to the problem.
Can you just stop it?
Look, you're not giving anyone a chance.
- You're just cutting everyone out.
- Look, I don't need this.
We both know if this was your daughter,
we would not be having
these discussions.
I don't know who you are right now.
Hey, they have music there.
You used to play piano, right?
Yeah, sometimes.
In the Nightcar.
I know what it's like to be an outsider.
A guy like Nima Rousseau is no rebel.
I don't think we'll
get anything out of him.
We might if we get him alone.
He didn't look comfortable
speaking in front of the Admiral.
TILL: Does anyone?
Where are you two headed?
You should be down train in Ag-Sec.
We need to talk to the chemist.
I didn't authorize a visit.
Look, if you want us to do our job,
Ben needs to talk to
Nima about valve pressure.
Right, Ben?
Yeah. It's very crucial to
the volume of dispersal.
He can go in.
You stay here.
Would you like to know why I
put you in the hot box and not him?
Because you hate women?
It's your spirit, Till.
It's undeniable.
Tell me, have you ever thought
about joining the military?
It's where spirit becomes purpose.
I'd rather live in the hot
box than work under you, sir.
That's what I'm talking about, Till.
I like it.
Layton!
- Hey, do you have a moment?
- What?
- Not unless your name is Javi.
- Look, I'm really sorry about Zarah.
Man, I really don't have time for this.
Please, please, please, please, wait,
there's something else.
This morning, I saw
I saw a bird. It was a dove.
- Beautiful.
- My girl's been taken from me, you want
- to talk to me about birds?
- Just listen.
Listen. I think it was a sign.
It's a sign of hope from Zarah.
Stop saying her name.
It was your fault she's out there
by herself in the first place.
You think she's sending you a sign?
You need some help, man.
Dr. Rousseau, I have a
question about dispersal.
Be honest.
What's this job really about?
And please, don't feed me a line
about the train's well-being.
Re-route the panel to
the ventilation system.
I I I don't know
what other answer you want.
Nothing the Admiral has
done since he's got here
has been out of altruism.
Not true.
That is not true.
The entire mission is to
preserve the human race.
Look, I know you're playing
the part of the company man,
and it's very captivating,
but the Admiral doesn't respect you,
and everyone can see it.
So you want to level with me or what?
The Admiral, he wasn't
always the Admiral.
Anton Milius has earned his
stripes by keeping us alive.
None of us would be here
without him, myself included.
Follow his orders, and you will survive.
Thank you.
[WHISPERS] Why should I trust anything
coming out of your mouth?
Because Melanie does.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Alex, can we have a minute?
No, I'm busy right now.
Well, it'll have to wait, because I need
to understand if there's any
way that Layton can take the train.
I would love to help, Ruth, but no.
Javi, can you chime in, please?
Alex, look, I was thinking,
what if I reroute the system?
I create a new closed loop for
all of our alternative sources.
And drain the battery
arrays in three days?
No, not if I prioritize the arrays
to keep the geothermal turbines going,
and we keep the town's
usage to a bare minimum.
So basically, dismantle everything
I busted my ass for when I turned
Big Alice into a power plant?
Alex, please.
Is what he's talking about possible?
He can go crunch the numbers, I guess.
I'm going to go see about a bird.
Never have a clue with her.
You told me to work
faster, and and and
and and and yet, here I
am, not working, at your request.
Look who's finally growing a backbone.
What did the engineer want?
Just a a question
about fertilizer volume.
It's amazing the amount of
artwork they had in this place.
What do you think it's worth?
Oh, that's better.
NIMA: Uh, well,
if they're originals, millions.
They're worth nothing.
Unless it's freezing in here and we
can burn them to stay alive.
Doesn't matter if it's
Rembrandts, Picassos,
or your family albums.
It's about priorities.
When the world is starving, you don't
name the lobsters in the tank.
Do you understand me, doctor?
Look at me.
If Till and the engineer
were up to something,
you'd tell me, right?
I wouldn't do anything
to jeopardize the mission.
- That's not an answer to my question.
- Yes, sir.
I would tell you.
Good.
That's really good.
You're dismissed.
We're taking the train.
You trying to give me a heart attack?
Come on, man. We got to go.
JAVI: Yeah. Did Ruth give you the okay?
- I'm done asking permission.
- I'm sorry.
I can't go around Ruth and the council.
Yes, you can.
You just don't want to.
Just like I know you can find
a solution for this power issue.
Listen, I want to help you. I do.
- But Alex said that if
- Alex's word is not law.
You got skills, man.
You got talent, just like her.
You know what you can do here, so do it.
I don't know, man.
Javi, my girl is out there somewhere.
I need you to step up right now.
You gonna do this or not?
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Hey, Josie.
Are you okay?
Yeah. No. Yes.
Not really.
Is it Liana?
[CRIES]
Yeah. Yeah. Liana.
Zarah.
Layton.
Just, sorry.
I didn't mean to.
It's okay.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
We can't unhook Alice until we
reroute the battery arrays around town,
feed them to geothermal.
Fine. Where to first?
Exactly where I don't wanna go.
Don't come out until you are done.
If we're dispersing the
fertilizer in the next car,
why is this control panel here?
Looks brand new.
Holy shit.
Maybe there is a ventilation issue here.
Why is this panel ripped out?
Could be how the guy got electrocuted.
It's possible.
They put us in the last car.
This whole job could be a ploy.
They could freeze us out
or shunt us off right now.
If Milius wanted us dead, he
would've done it months ago.
He needs us to do this work.
So what's his real game here?
I don't know.
[BEEPING]
Oh, shit. This is not working.
Yeah, or you're sending
out a distress signal.
- Fix it, now.
- JAVI: Well, I'm trying.
There. First one rerouted.
What are you doing here?
- Javi?
- JAVI: Yeah?
What's going on?
I was just running
some diagnostic tests,
and I caused a surge.
Sorry.
You said you were
done testing last week.
Yeah, well, he wasn't.
And a council member
doesn't have to justify
his actions to anybody.
You always give me a warning.
Did Ruth okay this?
Yes. She is the one
who asked him to do it.
Can we get this drink now?
Sorry about the confusion.
[ROCK MUSIC]
I'll have what he's having.
So you finally decided to
come down from the mountain
and mingle with the hoi polloi, huh?
Yeah.
This reminds me of why I moved
up there in the first place.
I heard what happened at the market.
Doesn't excuse anything, but
Layton's grieving right now.
He's not exactly his higher self.
I was just trying to offer some
I don't know.
Timing is everything.
Just got to get better at yours.
I know he blames me.
And I'm I'm the town crazy.
And if Zarah wasn't worried about me,
she wouldn't end up in the hills,
- and then she wouldn't have
- It wasn't your fault.
You're not crazy. You were right.
Those voices you're hearing,
those were people watching us.
Who knows how long.
If we only had listened to
you, maybe we would have
Look, I'm adding bodies to security.
Round the clock patrols.
We could use you.
So why don't you come
back down off the mountain
and rejoin the world?
Just don't ask me to
help you move your stuff.
How fast is the train?
It averages about 100
kilometers per hour. Why?
So for every minute we sit here,
Liana gets how many
kilometers away from me?
JAVI: Layton,
I'm working as fast as I can.
Not fast enough.
Listen, if I get a single decimal wrong,
or I screw one of the relay connections,
I could kill one quarter of humanity.
New Eden means nothing to
me without my daughter in it.
Do you understand?
Layton, I know this is hard
LAYTON: You know nothing
about what I'm going through.
Nothing.
I know you're not a bully.
And I you're not going to hurt me.
And I have more work to do.
All right, what are we missing?
BEN: Panel's active.
BEN: Aerosol system's in place.
Where are the chemicals?
Where are the chemicals?
Where are all the chemicals?
BEN: Those weren't here before.
Where are you going?
These pipes are too dense for water.
It's gotta lead somewhere.
BEN: There you are.
Look.
Sub train.
[CREAKING, CLATTERING]
To get this battery meter
to get over the 33% mark.
LAYTON: Great, get it done.
JAVI: It means removing the
engine as our main power source,
and hoping, once we reroute
from the battery arrays, that
- solar, wind, and geothermal
- Stop!
It all sounds like a stall.
Can we go or not?
JAVI: It is not a stall, Layton.
Trust me, it is not.
Listen, I'm sorry they took Liana.
I am.
And Zarah, she tried to
help me on Wilford's train,
and I never got to say thank you.
You want to thank her?
Help me.
TILL: What have you got?
It's Nima's magic fertilizer.
[CLINKING]
There's something else.
All right.
You want to take the
engine, you're the one that
needs to sever the connection.
Now, you need to flip the auxiliary up
and pull the primary down
at the same time, though.
It's working.
Shit, it worked.
You performed a miracle, Saint Javi.
Alex will be impressed.
Alex?
I didn't do this to
prove myself to Alex.
Or anyone, for that matter.
And I didn't do this
because I'm afraid of you.
I did it because I
consider you my friend.
This should buy New Eden about
three weeks' time without Big Alice.
Let's go.
Hey.
Is there any news from
Javi about taking the train?
Nothing yet.
There's a cup of tea with your
name on it, though, if you want.
Tea fixes everything, right?
RUTH: I don't know about that.
So, you here to tell me
that I'm being heartless,
not letting Layton take the train?
If you were heartless, you
wouldn't care what I think.
I think you're being pragmatic.
I'm not sure it's appreciated.
Look, I'm it's your
job to keep us together.
Just when we started
building a life here
happy one, safe one
we're attacked.
It's hard to believe, isn't it?
You know, I haven't felt
this helpless since the tail.
[APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS]
SYKES: Sorry to interrupt.
Ruth, did you ask Javi to run
a diagnostic test in Ag-Sec?
No. Why?
SYKES: We have a problem.
LAYTON: We gotta figure out how far away
the kidnappers have gotten.
The Snowpiercer's about
eight days ahead of us.
Yeah, but the train would have
to slow down because
the snowcat can only go
about 3 kilometers per hour.
My real concern is what
happens when we catch up.
Yeah. One problem at a time.
RUTH: Layton.
You can't do this.
Out of the way, Ruth.
JOSIE: This isn't the way.
Javi and I got power to the town.
I did my part, even though
y'all didn't do shit to help me.
- Now, we getting on that train.
- Layton, we can't let you go.
I don't want to hurt you,
but you going to have to hurt
me to keep me off that train.
Oh, no, Sykes, stop this!
Damn it, Layton, just stay down!
All right, enough!
[GRUNTING]
TILL: The guy is a chemist, so,
sure, maybe it's a super fertilizer.
Maybe it's freaking cyanide.
Who knows with these psychos?
The damage on your skin.
That's what I saw on that dead soldier.
It's not electrical, it's chemical.
TILL: The Admiral lied about the job.
Shocking.
That also means your buddy
Nima co-signed all this.
Your distrustful nature wins again.
- Happy?
- Ecstatic.
What I don't get is why they would
go to such lengths to kill people.
Maybe it's not about killing them.
Maybe it's about experimenting on them,
like the Admiral's hit team.
We have to do something.
We've got to use it against them.
I like the way you think, engineer.
[CROWD DIN]
Layton tried to steal the
engine today, Sam, twice,
without thought for anyone else here.
You can't make unilateral
decisions in New Eden.
You keep doing the same thing he is.
You think everyone agrees with
you, but you haven't asked.
I'm doing the same thing he is, am I?
I'm trying to look after
everyone in New Eden.
Okay, maybe I
maybe I shouldn't have said that.
But I can't live with
myself if I keep a father
from going after his kid.
And I got to think that
there's a lot of people who
feel the same way that I do.
- Hey.
- LAYTON: Hey.
You here with good news or bad?
ROCHE: It depends.
Ruth's putting it to a vote.
Let the people of New Eden
decide if you can take the engine.
Vote? [THUD]
- Liana's as good as gone.
- Hey, don't even say that.
Hey, after everything I did today,
no one in their right
mind would vote for me.
I would.
I owe you that.
I was your last line of defense.
LAYTON: Hey, Roche,
it is not your fault. It's theirs.
The ones who took her.
ROCHE: Look, man, you got
to make your case to the town.
You have got to fight for her.
[WHIRRING]
Can you please stop?
ALEX: Somebody woke up on the
wrong side of the bed this morning.
You know, that was a nice job
with the battery arrays, by the way.
Nearly genius.
Almost made me forget that
you tried to steal my engine.
JAVI: Okay, I think there's a
compliment hidden in there
somewhere, so thank you.
Is that Mr. Sprinkles?
It is.
You know, I lost a pet cat once.
Nope. Never got over it.
He actually wasn't really a pet.
He was more of a coworker.
I anticipated for him to
die because I was sending him
to the edge of the pocket to
get me data on weather patterns
and atmospheric pressure.
I figured that one day, he would
fly out too far and freeze to death.
Is that how he died?
Nope.
Exsanguination.
Exsanguination?
So his blood's gone?
Do we need to worry about vampires
now on top of everything else?
Funny.
Actually, it tells me that
my nosebleeds aren't a fluke.
I get them every time I'm
at higher elevations when I'm
near the edge of the pocket.
JAVI: Nosebleeds?
How long has that been going on for?
A few weeks.
I'm fine. I just
need to follow the data.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're not leaving him in here.
I don't want a dead bird in my room.
Come on.
- LAYTON: Josie, I
- JOSIE: I was with you.
We're supposed to be in this together.
- LAYTON: We are.
- We're not.
I've been out of my mind.
I lost Liana, I lost Zarah
I know!
Well, I was with her when she died.
I saw the light go out in her eyes.
I heard the fear in her voice.
Do you know what she asked me to do?
She
she asked me to look after Liana.
That is not something
that I take lightly.
You know that I've loved that
little girl since the day she was born.
I know. I know.
I know you love Liana.
I've watched you care
for her and feed her.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
Can you forgive me?
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[RADIO FEEDBACK]
Voting is a vital
right in any democracy.
And today's vote may be
among the most important
you'll ever make.
Miss Audrey warned us
that antagonistic forces
took Snowpiercer.
Mr. Layton believes
they are the same forces
responsible for the
murder of Zarah Ferami
and the kidnapping of
their daughter, Liana.
He would like to take Big
Alice and go after them.
Thanks to Mr. De La Torre, New Eden
can survive for three
weeks without the engine
as a power source.
But three weeks is the maximum.
Winter is approaching.
We will not survive without the engine.
And we should also consider safety.
Our attackers may return.
Having the engine here
gives us a means of escape.
And without that, we are vulnerable.
I yield the floor to Mr. Layton.
I could make the big
rallying speech right now.
But I'm not speaking to you today
as the leader of a
rebellion, or as the member
of the town council.
I'm just a dad who loves his kid.
I need to fight for my baby girl,
the same way I have
always fought for all of you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You can take the engine,
assuming you agree to terms.
Anything.
You must return here
within three weeks' time.
No later.
You may take up to three
additional cars with you,
none of them from Ag-Sec.
And if anyone's going with you,
they must officially volunteer,
engineers included.
Do you agree?
Agreed.
You didn't vote for me, did you?
I did not.
No.
But the people of New Eden did.
That's what matters.
I'll honor their votes.
I would expect nothing less.
Layton, I want you to
know that as your friend,
I'm happy that you're
going after your daughter.
But as a council member,
I just hope you've
considered all the variables.
I'll keep my eyes open.
I'm a wartime general, remember?
Hey, so this is the last of it.
- Do you think it'll be enough?
- It's all we can spare.
Okay, so we'll take these to the engine.
- Okay.
- Did you pack a bag already?
- Haven't had the time.
- Well, don't worry about it.
I'm going to take the engineer seat.
Weren't you against
this since the beginning?
I was, but then I analyzed the data
that Mr. Sprinkles collected.
And what if New Eden isn't
a series of warm spots,
but bubbles?
And bubbles burst.
You think this is temporary?
I don't have the answers.
They're not here.
But out there, you
know, Melanie is the one
who found these warm spots.
What else would compel
her to leave Snowpiercer?
Okay, I hope you're wrong.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, I heard that you guys
were looking for an engineer.
I was hoping it could be me.
Yeah, of course.
Happy to have you.
- Yo, Layton.
- We getting a tailie send off?
Nah, this ain't no send off, man.
We're coming with you.
Tailies stick together.
Layton.
Thank you, my friend.
No, no need for that.
Good luck.
Andre, I'm gonna hold down the fort
while you go raise hell.
- Get your girl back.
- Whatever it takes.
Wait a moment.
It's my job to make sure the engine
gets back to New Eden in time,
so I'll be coming with you.
You'll be in charge
while I'm gone, Mr. Roche?
Yeah.
I'll hold it down.
Welcome aboard, then.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
All good.
Just a minute.
The Admiral will probably have
one of his weird animal guys with him.
The way they're wired
up, aren't they immune?
Not the dose we're going to give them.
I want to know what's taking so long.
I thought the engineer knew
the train inside and out?
Well, yeah, he he should be finished.
We didn't call you down here.
We're still working.
What's the problem?
It's trash. Box is faulty.
We need more time to sort it out.
Yeah, well, you're not getting anything.
- We're on a clock.
- Doc, the problem's down here.
Do it now.
You can spend the rest of your
days eating bug bars in a hot box.
Is that understood?
Admiral.
We have to get out.
Now.
Now.
Go, go!
Let me go! Let me go!
[GAS HISSING]
This is for Audrey.
She made it to New Eden.
Till!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
TILL: [GROANS] Oh, shit.
BEN: About time you woke up.
TILL: Ben?
BEN: What were you thinking in there?
Just wanted to kill him.
BEN: You're lucky it was just an
anesthetic and nothing worse.
- TILL: It was worth it.
- BEN: Oh, yeah?
TILL: Nima told me Audrey
made it to New Eden.
TILL: She made it, Ben.
[CHUCKLES]
BEN: That's why they've
been working us so hard,
because we've pushed their timeline up.
TILL: Holy shit.
The trap.
It wasn't for Snowpiercer.
BEN: No.
It's for Big Alice.
[METAL SQUEAKING]
NIMA: What the hell are you doing?
ADMIRAL MILIUS: You know what they say.
You want the job done right.
NIMA: Well, you saw what
Gemini did to your man.
We can't use that variant on them.
We tried it your way.
Your knockout gas was
barely a deterrent.
It's time for the gloves to come off.
We promised Mel no one gets hurt.
We?
No.
You made a promise to Melanie Cavill.
I have a duty to uphold.
Not to an old friend, not to a
colleague to the human race.
- You're dismissed.
- You can't be that
Dismissed.
Let's go.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
Upcoming bridge.
Prepare to brace.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
wild one growing up.
Sort of the leader of a
group of girls in town.
Not exactly good girls, either.
We were always pinching
sweets or magazines
from the corner shop.
One day, the shopkeeper had had enough
and he grabbed the
youngest of us by the arm.
I told everyone to
run, so they did, and we
met up in the back alley.
Are we safe?
We've added extra patrols. Yes.
- So Audrey's still alive?
- Oh, yes.
Audrey's still fighting. Still fighting.
- Who took Liana?
- We don't know yet.
Just give us a minute, will you?
Shopkeeper let her go before too long.
But I'll never forget
the look in her eye
when she found us,
like we'd betrayed her.
JOSIE: Layton? Did you find anything?
Their shoes are gone.
JOSIE: What?
Her dead husband's shoes.
She keeps them here,
but they're gone now.
That and all of her personal
items from her couchette.
What does that tell you?
She didn't have time to pack?
Layton!
She didn't come up with this on the fly.
Those soldiers have been
watching us for a while, waiting.
What? To kidnap a child?
Might have been Headwood's idea.
Part of a larger plan.
She's been obsessed with
Liana since Zarah was pregnant.
But I just don't see how this helps us.
It doesn't. Just lets me know
how to treat her when I find her.
Ruth!
Ruth.
We need to convene the
council as soon as possible.
RUTH: What's happened?
We're going to need the engine.
Alex, how long will it take to unhook
this thing from the grid and
get it up and running again?
- Unhook what?
- We're going after Snowpiercer.
It's my only lead to find Liana.
Whoa, Layton, I'm sorry about
Liana. It's not that simple.
It took me months to convert the
train and get New Eden running.
We cannot just press start and go.
For more reasons than one.
Snowpiercer can't be
more than a week away.
I can find them. I just need the
engine, and and a few cars, and
Can we just slow down and talk
about this for a minute, please?
Every second we spend discussing
it, Liana gets further away.
I think that Ruth is just looking
to discuss options, Layton.
The only thing we need to be discussing
is how long it will
take to get Big Alice up
and running again, Alex.
Do not answer that question, Alex.
Answer the question, Alex.
This engine is not
going anywhere until we
discuss this as a council.
There's no unilateral
decisions being made.
This is not the
democracy you fought for.
Layton.
RUTH: I never wanted anyone to
look at me like that again.
But it may be the price I'll have
to pay for protecting this pocket
of humanity we call New Eden.
471 souls strong.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
Move.
[BANGING]
Wakey, wakey.
[BANGING]
Time's up.
[GRUNT]
Are you taking my spot?
Come on.
[BACKGROUND COMMOTION]
Pick that up!
Come on, keep going!
All right, move!
Come on.
You listening to me?
[BACKGROUND COMMOTION]
Hey. Look after this for a sec.
They put you in a box?
They tortured you.
Worry about Audrey not me.
Audrey is a survivor.
We've got to keep the faith
that she made it to New Eden.
Faith.
I've got news for you, Bennett.
No one from up high
is coming to save us.
Look what the admiral's done.
Not to the train, to the people.
See, the problem is,
while the man's crazy,
the mission's still sound.
New Eden proves that.
Even if it means turning
the train into a labor camp?
You can't tell me that
was part of Melanie's plan.
- No.
- The guy lies.
He treats us like shit.
He plots who knows
what against New Eden.
We have to take him down.
Okay. Okay.
Till.
Till.
Listen. Listen to me.
Let's at least find out what he's up to,
then we take him down.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
LAYTON: It's not rocket science.
I won't catch them without Big Alice.
Right, but attempting to
steal the engine isn't the way.
- We have protocols.
- There's protocols for kidnappings now?
Do you realize you're making
a mockery of the whole system
- you just helped set up?
- This is bullshit.
- Where is Roche so we can vote?
- He's out on patrol.
Don't presume that he would
ever vote for you anyway.
Guys, we're all friends here.
Can we just start
acting like it, please?
Look, I don't pretend to know
what you're going through, Andre.
Zarah was a friend, and Liana
but we need Big Alice to survive.
Including Ag-Sec.
So it's true.
Layton's leaving?
- Not yet.
- Nothing's been decided.
I hope not.
Because we can't heat
Ag-Sec without the engine,
let alone the entire town.
That's not exactly true.
The engine does help power
New Eden, but maybe
There's no maybe.
Solar and wind are unreliable
because the climate is unpredictable.
And geothermal doesn't
charge the battery
arrays enough to offset
Big Alice's production.
The bottom line is the engine is
our only constant,
reliable power source.
Without it, New Eden will not survive.
That's it.
Look, I don't want to
jeopardize New Eden.
This is my home, too.
But where does that leave me?
Dunno.
But the days of
hijacking trains are over.
Okay, so I'm just supposed to wait
around until the kidnappers decide
to bring her back, right?
Y'all done lost your damn minds.
No one is saying that.
You.
Let's go.
Maybe after my shower.
Thank you.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I'll be back.
Save me some soap.
This was Lieutenant Jason Lee.
He was a loyal soldier.
If you're trying to scare me,
you're about nine years too late.
And if you think I'd use the
death of one of my men that way,
then you severely underestimate me.
I brought you here because
I have an offer for you.
Cooperate, and I could
reduce the workers'
shifts back down to 12 hours.
You make him the same offer?
Lieutenant Lee was
electrocuted doing a job
he wasn't qualified to do.
But you are.
Down in Ag-Sec.
Ag-Sec?
What does Ag-Sec have
to do with the retrofit?
Nothing. But Nima here joined us on
the last stop bearing gifts.
A new fertilizer he's
been cooking up that
could help with our food supply issues.
So you work us to the bone,
feed us scraps for months,
and now, you care?
Your people are dropping like flies.
This could help.
- Doc?
- It's
it's a potent synthetic compound.
Could double food production.
We just need you to reroute the
electrical panels and redirect
ventilation for dispersal.
Which is how this happened?
Again, a task for an
engineer, not a soldier.
So, what do you say?
You could be a hero, or
watch a fellow passenger
wind up on the slab.
Your call.
10 hour shifts for the crew.
And I'll need another
pair of hands to help out.
- Till.
- Done.
Zero to hero.
I like it.
It's a risk.
These chemicals are are
are dangerous or volatile.
If the engineer does the job
right, it won't be a problem.
He's important to Mel.
Our mission is important to the world.
Mel will understand.
Layton.
- Hey, Layton.
- What?
Can you just come back with me?
Maybe we can talk to Ruth privately
and work something out.
I'm not groveling to
Ruth or the council.
What? No one's asking you to.
Everyone wants to go after Liana.
We just we have to
be smart about this.
I'm not hearing anything smart,
and I'm not hearing any
solutions to the problem.
Can you just stop it?
Look, you're not giving anyone a chance.
- You're just cutting everyone out.
- Look, I don't need this.
We both know if this was your daughter,
we would not be having
these discussions.
I don't know who you are right now.
Hey, they have music there.
You used to play piano, right?
Yeah, sometimes.
In the Nightcar.
I know what it's like to be an outsider.
A guy like Nima Rousseau is no rebel.
I don't think we'll
get anything out of him.
We might if we get him alone.
He didn't look comfortable
speaking in front of the Admiral.
TILL: Does anyone?
Where are you two headed?
You should be down train in Ag-Sec.
We need to talk to the chemist.
I didn't authorize a visit.
Look, if you want us to do our job,
Ben needs to talk to
Nima about valve pressure.
Right, Ben?
Yeah. It's very crucial to
the volume of dispersal.
He can go in.
You stay here.
Would you like to know why I
put you in the hot box and not him?
Because you hate women?
It's your spirit, Till.
It's undeniable.
Tell me, have you ever thought
about joining the military?
It's where spirit becomes purpose.
I'd rather live in the hot
box than work under you, sir.
That's what I'm talking about, Till.
I like it.
Layton!
- Hey, do you have a moment?
- What?
- Not unless your name is Javi.
- Look, I'm really sorry about Zarah.
Man, I really don't have time for this.
Please, please, please, please, wait,
there's something else.
This morning, I saw
I saw a bird. It was a dove.
- Beautiful.
- My girl's been taken from me, you want
- to talk to me about birds?
- Just listen.
Listen. I think it was a sign.
It's a sign of hope from Zarah.
Stop saying her name.
It was your fault she's out there
by herself in the first place.
You think she's sending you a sign?
You need some help, man.
Dr. Rousseau, I have a
question about dispersal.
Be honest.
What's this job really about?
And please, don't feed me a line
about the train's well-being.
Re-route the panel to
the ventilation system.
I I I don't know
what other answer you want.
Nothing the Admiral has
done since he's got here
has been out of altruism.
Not true.
That is not true.
The entire mission is to
preserve the human race.
Look, I know you're playing
the part of the company man,
and it's very captivating,
but the Admiral doesn't respect you,
and everyone can see it.
So you want to level with me or what?
The Admiral, he wasn't
always the Admiral.
Anton Milius has earned his
stripes by keeping us alive.
None of us would be here
without him, myself included.
Follow his orders, and you will survive.
Thank you.
[WHISPERS] Why should I trust anything
coming out of your mouth?
Because Melanie does.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Alex, can we have a minute?
No, I'm busy right now.
Well, it'll have to wait, because I need
to understand if there's any
way that Layton can take the train.
I would love to help, Ruth, but no.
Javi, can you chime in, please?
Alex, look, I was thinking,
what if I reroute the system?
I create a new closed loop for
all of our alternative sources.
And drain the battery
arrays in three days?
No, not if I prioritize the arrays
to keep the geothermal turbines going,
and we keep the town's
usage to a bare minimum.
So basically, dismantle everything
I busted my ass for when I turned
Big Alice into a power plant?
Alex, please.
Is what he's talking about possible?
He can go crunch the numbers, I guess.
I'm going to go see about a bird.
Never have a clue with her.
You told me to work
faster, and and and
and and and yet, here I
am, not working, at your request.
Look who's finally growing a backbone.
What did the engineer want?
Just a a question
about fertilizer volume.
It's amazing the amount of
artwork they had in this place.
What do you think it's worth?
Oh, that's better.
NIMA: Uh, well,
if they're originals, millions.
They're worth nothing.
Unless it's freezing in here and we
can burn them to stay alive.
Doesn't matter if it's
Rembrandts, Picassos,
or your family albums.
It's about priorities.
When the world is starving, you don't
name the lobsters in the tank.
Do you understand me, doctor?
Look at me.
If Till and the engineer
were up to something,
you'd tell me, right?
I wouldn't do anything
to jeopardize the mission.
- That's not an answer to my question.
- Yes, sir.
I would tell you.
Good.
That's really good.
You're dismissed.
We're taking the train.
You trying to give me a heart attack?
Come on, man. We got to go.
JAVI: Yeah. Did Ruth give you the okay?
- I'm done asking permission.
- I'm sorry.
I can't go around Ruth and the council.
Yes, you can.
You just don't want to.
Just like I know you can find
a solution for this power issue.
Listen, I want to help you. I do.
- But Alex said that if
- Alex's word is not law.
You got skills, man.
You got talent, just like her.
You know what you can do here, so do it.
I don't know, man.
Javi, my girl is out there somewhere.
I need you to step up right now.
You gonna do this or not?
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Hey, Josie.
Are you okay?
Yeah. No. Yes.
Not really.
Is it Liana?
[CRIES]
Yeah. Yeah. Liana.
Zarah.
Layton.
Just, sorry.
I didn't mean to.
It's okay.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
We can't unhook Alice until we
reroute the battery arrays around town,
feed them to geothermal.
Fine. Where to first?
Exactly where I don't wanna go.
Don't come out until you are done.
If we're dispersing the
fertilizer in the next car,
why is this control panel here?
Looks brand new.
Holy shit.
Maybe there is a ventilation issue here.
Why is this panel ripped out?
Could be how the guy got electrocuted.
It's possible.
They put us in the last car.
This whole job could be a ploy.
They could freeze us out
or shunt us off right now.
If Milius wanted us dead, he
would've done it months ago.
He needs us to do this work.
So what's his real game here?
I don't know.
[BEEPING]
Oh, shit. This is not working.
Yeah, or you're sending
out a distress signal.
- Fix it, now.
- JAVI: Well, I'm trying.
There. First one rerouted.
What are you doing here?
- Javi?
- JAVI: Yeah?
What's going on?
I was just running
some diagnostic tests,
and I caused a surge.
Sorry.
You said you were
done testing last week.
Yeah, well, he wasn't.
And a council member
doesn't have to justify
his actions to anybody.
You always give me a warning.
Did Ruth okay this?
Yes. She is the one
who asked him to do it.
Can we get this drink now?
Sorry about the confusion.
[ROCK MUSIC]
I'll have what he's having.
So you finally decided to
come down from the mountain
and mingle with the hoi polloi, huh?
Yeah.
This reminds me of why I moved
up there in the first place.
I heard what happened at the market.
Doesn't excuse anything, but
Layton's grieving right now.
He's not exactly his higher self.
I was just trying to offer some
I don't know.
Timing is everything.
Just got to get better at yours.
I know he blames me.
And I'm I'm the town crazy.
And if Zarah wasn't worried about me,
she wouldn't end up in the hills,
- and then she wouldn't have
- It wasn't your fault.
You're not crazy. You were right.
Those voices you're hearing,
those were people watching us.
Who knows how long.
If we only had listened to
you, maybe we would have
Look, I'm adding bodies to security.
Round the clock patrols.
We could use you.
So why don't you come
back down off the mountain
and rejoin the world?
Just don't ask me to
help you move your stuff.
How fast is the train?
It averages about 100
kilometers per hour. Why?
So for every minute we sit here,
Liana gets how many
kilometers away from me?
JAVI: Layton,
I'm working as fast as I can.
Not fast enough.
Listen, if I get a single decimal wrong,
or I screw one of the relay connections,
I could kill one quarter of humanity.
New Eden means nothing to
me without my daughter in it.
Do you understand?
Layton, I know this is hard
LAYTON: You know nothing
about what I'm going through.
Nothing.
I know you're not a bully.
And I you're not going to hurt me.
And I have more work to do.
All right, what are we missing?
BEN: Panel's active.
BEN: Aerosol system's in place.
Where are the chemicals?
Where are the chemicals?
Where are all the chemicals?
BEN: Those weren't here before.
Where are you going?
These pipes are too dense for water.
It's gotta lead somewhere.
BEN: There you are.
Look.
Sub train.
[CREAKING, CLATTERING]
To get this battery meter
to get over the 33% mark.
LAYTON: Great, get it done.
JAVI: It means removing the
engine as our main power source,
and hoping, once we reroute
from the battery arrays, that
- solar, wind, and geothermal
- Stop!
It all sounds like a stall.
Can we go or not?
JAVI: It is not a stall, Layton.
Trust me, it is not.
Listen, I'm sorry they took Liana.
I am.
And Zarah, she tried to
help me on Wilford's train,
and I never got to say thank you.
You want to thank her?
Help me.
TILL: What have you got?
It's Nima's magic fertilizer.
[CLINKING]
There's something else.
All right.
You want to take the
engine, you're the one that
needs to sever the connection.
Now, you need to flip the auxiliary up
and pull the primary down
at the same time, though.
It's working.
Shit, it worked.
You performed a miracle, Saint Javi.
Alex will be impressed.
Alex?
I didn't do this to
prove myself to Alex.
Or anyone, for that matter.
And I didn't do this
because I'm afraid of you.
I did it because I
consider you my friend.
This should buy New Eden about
three weeks' time without Big Alice.
Let's go.
Hey.
Is there any news from
Javi about taking the train?
Nothing yet.
There's a cup of tea with your
name on it, though, if you want.
Tea fixes everything, right?
RUTH: I don't know about that.
So, you here to tell me
that I'm being heartless,
not letting Layton take the train?
If you were heartless, you
wouldn't care what I think.
I think you're being pragmatic.
I'm not sure it's appreciated.
Look, I'm it's your
job to keep us together.
Just when we started
building a life here
happy one, safe one
we're attacked.
It's hard to believe, isn't it?
You know, I haven't felt
this helpless since the tail.
[APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS]
SYKES: Sorry to interrupt.
Ruth, did you ask Javi to run
a diagnostic test in Ag-Sec?
No. Why?
SYKES: We have a problem.
LAYTON: We gotta figure out how far away
the kidnappers have gotten.
The Snowpiercer's about
eight days ahead of us.
Yeah, but the train would have
to slow down because
the snowcat can only go
about 3 kilometers per hour.
My real concern is what
happens when we catch up.
Yeah. One problem at a time.
RUTH: Layton.
You can't do this.
Out of the way, Ruth.
JOSIE: This isn't the way.
Javi and I got power to the town.
I did my part, even though
y'all didn't do shit to help me.
- Now, we getting on that train.
- Layton, we can't let you go.
I don't want to hurt you,
but you going to have to hurt
me to keep me off that train.
Oh, no, Sykes, stop this!
Damn it, Layton, just stay down!
All right, enough!
[GRUNTING]
TILL: The guy is a chemist, so,
sure, maybe it's a super fertilizer.
Maybe it's freaking cyanide.
Who knows with these psychos?
The damage on your skin.
That's what I saw on that dead soldier.
It's not electrical, it's chemical.
TILL: The Admiral lied about the job.
Shocking.
That also means your buddy
Nima co-signed all this.
Your distrustful nature wins again.
- Happy?
- Ecstatic.
What I don't get is why they would
go to such lengths to kill people.
Maybe it's not about killing them.
Maybe it's about experimenting on them,
like the Admiral's hit team.
We have to do something.
We've got to use it against them.
I like the way you think, engineer.
[CROWD DIN]
Layton tried to steal the
engine today, Sam, twice,
without thought for anyone else here.
You can't make unilateral
decisions in New Eden.
You keep doing the same thing he is.
You think everyone agrees with
you, but you haven't asked.
I'm doing the same thing he is, am I?
I'm trying to look after
everyone in New Eden.
Okay, maybe I
maybe I shouldn't have said that.
But I can't live with
myself if I keep a father
from going after his kid.
And I got to think that
there's a lot of people who
feel the same way that I do.
- Hey.
- LAYTON: Hey.
You here with good news or bad?
ROCHE: It depends.
Ruth's putting it to a vote.
Let the people of New Eden
decide if you can take the engine.
Vote? [THUD]
- Liana's as good as gone.
- Hey, don't even say that.
Hey, after everything I did today,
no one in their right
mind would vote for me.
I would.
I owe you that.
I was your last line of defense.
LAYTON: Hey, Roche,
it is not your fault. It's theirs.
The ones who took her.
ROCHE: Look, man, you got
to make your case to the town.
You have got to fight for her.
[WHIRRING]
Can you please stop?
ALEX: Somebody woke up on the
wrong side of the bed this morning.
You know, that was a nice job
with the battery arrays, by the way.
Nearly genius.
Almost made me forget that
you tried to steal my engine.
JAVI: Okay, I think there's a
compliment hidden in there
somewhere, so thank you.
Is that Mr. Sprinkles?
It is.
You know, I lost a pet cat once.
Nope. Never got over it.
He actually wasn't really a pet.
He was more of a coworker.
I anticipated for him to
die because I was sending him
to the edge of the pocket to
get me data on weather patterns
and atmospheric pressure.
I figured that one day, he would
fly out too far and freeze to death.
Is that how he died?
Nope.
Exsanguination.
Exsanguination?
So his blood's gone?
Do we need to worry about vampires
now on top of everything else?
Funny.
Actually, it tells me that
my nosebleeds aren't a fluke.
I get them every time I'm
at higher elevations when I'm
near the edge of the pocket.
JAVI: Nosebleeds?
How long has that been going on for?
A few weeks.
I'm fine. I just
need to follow the data.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're not leaving him in here.
I don't want a dead bird in my room.
Come on.
- LAYTON: Josie, I
- JOSIE: I was with you.
We're supposed to be in this together.
- LAYTON: We are.
- We're not.
I've been out of my mind.
I lost Liana, I lost Zarah
I know!
Well, I was with her when she died.
I saw the light go out in her eyes.
I heard the fear in her voice.
Do you know what she asked me to do?
She
she asked me to look after Liana.
That is not something
that I take lightly.
You know that I've loved that
little girl since the day she was born.
I know. I know.
I know you love Liana.
I've watched you care
for her and feed her.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
Can you forgive me?

[RADIO FEEDBACK]
Voting is a vital
right in any democracy.
And today's vote may be
among the most important
you'll ever make.
Miss Audrey warned us
that antagonistic forces
took Snowpiercer.
Mr. Layton believes
they are the same forces
responsible for the
murder of Zarah Ferami
and the kidnapping of
their daughter, Liana.
He would like to take Big
Alice and go after them.
Thanks to Mr. De La Torre, New Eden
can survive for three
weeks without the engine
as a power source.
But three weeks is the maximum.
Winter is approaching.
We will not survive without the engine.
And we should also consider safety.
Our attackers may return.
Having the engine here
gives us a means of escape.
And without that, we are vulnerable.
I yield the floor to Mr. Layton.
I could make the big
rallying speech right now.
But I'm not speaking to you today
as the leader of a
rebellion, or as the member
of the town council.
I'm just a dad who loves his kid.
I need to fight for my baby girl,
the same way I have
always fought for all of you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You can take the engine,
assuming you agree to terms.
Anything.
You must return here
within three weeks' time.
No later.
You may take up to three
additional cars with you,
none of them from Ag-Sec.
And if anyone's going with you,
they must officially volunteer,
engineers included.
Do you agree?
Agreed.
You didn't vote for me, did you?
I did not.
No.
But the people of New Eden did.
That's what matters.
I'll honor their votes.
I would expect nothing less.
Layton, I want you to
know that as your friend,
I'm happy that you're
going after your daughter.
But as a council member,
I just hope you've
considered all the variables.
I'll keep my eyes open.
I'm a wartime general, remember?
Hey, so this is the last of it.
- Do you think it'll be enough?
- It's all we can spare.
Okay, so we'll take these to the engine.
- Okay.
- Did you pack a bag already?
- Haven't had the time.
- Well, don't worry about it.
I'm going to take the engineer seat.
Weren't you against
this since the beginning?
I was, but then I analyzed the data
that Mr. Sprinkles collected.
And what if New Eden isn't
a series of warm spots,
but bubbles?
And bubbles burst.
You think this is temporary?
I don't have the answers.
They're not here.
But out there, you
know, Melanie is the one
who found these warm spots.
What else would compel
her to leave Snowpiercer?
Okay, I hope you're wrong.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, I heard that you guys
were looking for an engineer.
I was hoping it could be me.
Yeah, of course.
Happy to have you.
- Yo, Layton.
- We getting a tailie send off?
Nah, this ain't no send off, man.
We're coming with you.
Tailies stick together.
Layton.
Thank you, my friend.
No, no need for that.
Good luck.
Andre, I'm gonna hold down the fort
while you go raise hell.
- Get your girl back.
- Whatever it takes.
Wait a moment.
It's my job to make sure the engine
gets back to New Eden in time,
so I'll be coming with you.
You'll be in charge
while I'm gone, Mr. Roche?
Yeah.
I'll hold it down.
Welcome aboard, then.
[EXCITING MUSIC]
All good.
Just a minute.
The Admiral will probably have
one of his weird animal guys with him.
The way they're wired
up, aren't they immune?
Not the dose we're going to give them.
I want to know what's taking so long.
I thought the engineer knew
the train inside and out?
Well, yeah, he he should be finished.
We didn't call you down here.
We're still working.
What's the problem?
It's trash. Box is faulty.
We need more time to sort it out.
Yeah, well, you're not getting anything.
- We're on a clock.
- Doc, the problem's down here.
Do it now.
You can spend the rest of your
days eating bug bars in a hot box.
Is that understood?
Admiral.
We have to get out.
Now.
Now.
Go, go!
Let me go! Let me go!
[GAS HISSING]
This is for Audrey.
She made it to New Eden.
Till!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
TILL: [GROANS] Oh, shit.
BEN: About time you woke up.
TILL: Ben?
BEN: What were you thinking in there?
Just wanted to kill him.
BEN: You're lucky it was just an
anesthetic and nothing worse.
- TILL: It was worth it.
- BEN: Oh, yeah?
TILL: Nima told me Audrey
made it to New Eden.
TILL: She made it, Ben.
[CHUCKLES]
BEN: That's why they've
been working us so hard,
because we've pushed their timeline up.
TILL: Holy shit.
The trap.
It wasn't for Snowpiercer.
BEN: No.
It's for Big Alice.
[METAL SQUEAKING]
NIMA: What the hell are you doing?
ADMIRAL MILIUS: You know what they say.
You want the job done right.
NIMA: Well, you saw what
Gemini did to your man.
We can't use that variant on them.
We tried it your way.
Your knockout gas was
barely a deterrent.
It's time for the gloves to come off.
We promised Mel no one gets hurt.
We?
No.
You made a promise to Melanie Cavill.
I have a duty to uphold.
Not to an old friend, not to a
colleague to the human race.
- You're dismissed.
- You can't be that
Dismissed.
Let's go.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
Upcoming bridge.
Prepare to brace.
