Original subtitles

Snowpiercer can't be more than a week away.

- I can find them. - We need Big Alice.

The engine is our only constant, reliable power source.

I need to fight for my baby girl.

I have a duty to uphold to the human race.

We have to take him down.

[Grunts]

We can take the engine.

The trap. It wasn't for Snowpiercer.

It's for Big Alice.

We're coming with you.

Tailies stick together.

I never appreciated the night sky till it was gone.

♪ Stars shining bright above you ♪

But after nine long years came New Eden,

and I realized the stars were always there.

I just couldn't see them.

If I had, I would have seen the North Star.

Hm.

There's a beauty knowing that anyone,

anywhere can see it and find true North.

Right here.

There you go.

There's too many of them.

How bad is it?

You save your strength.

Get some rags.

We need to stop the bleeding.

Okay, compress the wound like this.

Right. Got it.

Zachariah, we need some alcohol, as much as you got.

On it.

- Knock it off. - Got it. Got it.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey, buddy.

Do you know how to play hide and seek?

Yeah?

Well, let's play hide and seek, okay?

You go hide, and I'm going to come find you, okay?

All right. Go, go, go, go.

I'm counting.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

- Hey, hey. - Yeah?

Yeah.

You got it.

How's he doing?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think he's going to make it.

See, he's going to be all right, this guy.

Here you go.

Thank you for distracting Miles.

Yeah.

I just didn't want him growing up

thinking this is all there is.

Andre Layton, ever the optimist.

[screaming]

Shit.

If only we remained as constant as the night sky.

If our time on the pirate train taught us anything,

it's that we can't let them see us coming.

So we go dark.

We approach in the dead of night.

We can overload Snowpiercer's coupling.

That will allow us to dock and board without being detected.

Once we hit the subtrain, we should

have all the cover we need to locate Liana

and get out without them seeing us.

We do this right, the Admiral won't know what hit him.

Assuming everything goes according to plan.

In the event we lose the element of surprise?

They want to pick a fight on our train?

Shit, they're welcome to try.

I admire the spirit.

But we're not talking about Jackboots here.

You heard what Audrey said.

This is a well-trained army with guns.

We'll be outnumbered.

Well, perhaps not.

We've got hundreds of allies on that train.

Nuh-uh. No. This is different.

We are not trying to take the engine.

But if we can rally the people--

We don't have time for anything other

than a direct strike.

We don't--this is--

it has to be an extraction, not a revolution.

What, so we find Liana and then what?

What about the other people on Snowpiercer?

Let's see what intel we can gather once we board.

We make our decisions then.

Sounds like a plan.

When someone loses their North Star,

they don't just stray from the path.

They forget who they are.

On their way to Snowpiercer.

879 cars long.

[theme music]

You, you, get to Metal Works.

If it can blow away, lock it down.

Get to the kitchen.

Help them secure everything.

Encierra a los animales.

What happened?

I lost power in two Ag-Sec cars.

Entire crop is gone.

Where's Roche?

He's out on patrol, but I've got it.

I'll re-route from the battery reserves.

When you were restructuring the grid,

did you remember to check the forecast first?

Wouldn't have mattered.

The storm came out of nowhere.

The weather is very unstable here.

Hey, real talk.

How much longer can we last without Big Alice?

In good conditions, we can handle the remaining 14 days.

But in these conditions?

We better hope Layton comes back soon.

[booming]

What the hell was that?

Sykes, let's go.

Let's go.

Hey, get to town hall.

What did the adults decide?

The manual override plan still.

All right.

First, the complicated stuff.

Once you reach Snowpiercer service port,

plug in the patch cable, and I'll hotwire that sucker

into motion from over here.

It'll let us bypass their system

so that we can dock without notifying their engine.

Now the easy part?

Comparatively speaking.

I'll pull us within a few feet of Snowpiercer,

then you're going to have to jump from one train to another

to patch this in.

Right.

It's not as hard as it sounds.

With the running speed and some momentum, you'll be fine.

Plus, if anybody can do it, it's you.

It's not that.

It's--it's just Miles.

What Audrey said is true, he's fine, right?

It's fun not knowing.

I think he's okay, Josie.

I think Ben's okay, too.

What, do you think they wouldn't hurt the engineers?

Somebody has to drive the train.

In fact, I kind of hope it's Miles.

It'll make it easier to catch up to them.

[gentle music]

There nothing yet?

I know what you're going to say.

You don't care for this plan, and I'm ignoring all

the people who care for me.

I'm just here to see if you're all right.

There they are.

We can see them, they can see us, right?

Time to go dark.

I'm on it. Going into stealth mode.

How far away are we?

Far enough that we're out of visual, close enough

that I can close the gap.

But we've only got a few hours until sunrise.

This might be our best shot, so let's get

the boarding party in position.

Is everyone ready?

It's now or never.

[tense music]

Tailies, boarding formation, now!

On the double. Let's go.

Shields up, weapons up.

[dramatic music]

Everyone in position.

I'm gonna punch it.

Snowpiercer to Big Alice.

Do you copy?

This is Admiral Milius with the International

Peacekeeping Forces.

State your reason for approach, or I'll have to consider

you hostiles.

I'm talking to you, Andre Layton.

Do you copy?

Last chance, Andre Layton, do you copy?

So you're the one who took my daughter and killed her mother?

I'm sorry to hear about your loss,

but it seems you're operating with some bad intel.

No, I think it's pretty good.

And I'm concerned you're preparing

an attack on this very train.

I'd rather we not escalate this misunderstanding.

That's interesting coming from a kidnapper.

Please.

I think we can sort this out face to face.

If you prefer the easy way, come on over.

I make a mean omelet.

But if you opt for the hard way,

well, I can accommodate that, too.

It's up to you.

He wants us to connect the trains.

I'm a man of my word.

We harbor no ill intent.

We're friendlies.

Friendlies, huh?

Then you won't mind waiting.

Okay, uh, power move.

Now what?

Just keep him guessing till we figure out plan B.

Okay.

[tense music]

Okay, people, please, please, one at a time.

Was that sound caused by the storm?

Because it sounded like an explosion.

We won't know for sure until we search the perimeter.

What if it was an attack?

What if they are out there?

It is definitely a possibility.

We can't rule it out.

Then why isn't that council doing more to protect us?

We're doing everything we can.

But please, listen to me.

Our power grid is on the verge of collapse,

and even if we make the repairs,

we won't have enough juice to last

the remaining 14 days without Big Alice

unless we start rationing power.

So no matter what we do, we might still freeze to death?

Everyone! Hey!

Hey, listen up.

Okay, what Javi's saying here

is just the worst case scenario.

Okay?

The good news is, is that Big Alice will return.

Come on, man.

Let's have a little faith in Ruth and Layton.

In the meantime, the council is working hard

to restore the grid and keep this town safe.

Okay? We're running patrols 24/7.

But we need your help.

We can't do this alone.

So if you're out there, you happen to be out there,

you happen to be up in the hills,

just keep your eyes peeled, okay?

I promise you, we will get through this

if we stick together.

Okay?

Thank you. That's all.

Let's clear the room, please.

It's about time.

Sorry.

He invited us for breakfast?

Yeah.

That's not suspicious, is it?

It didn't seem spur of the moment, either.

Do you think he was waiting for us?

Must have been. He saw us coming.

He knew we were planning something.

And if he's asking us to dock?

Yeah. Must be a trap.

We have to back off and regroup.

We've come this far for Liana.

We're too close.

Yeah. Yeah.

We have to get on Snowpiercer.

But not on the Admiral's terms.

If that explosion theory is true,

you think it's a good idea for people

to wander around up there?

I don't know.

Let's just get this breaker back online before we freeze.

You know, you did the right thing up there.

I'm serious.

People need to hear the truth.

Yeah, but that's not what they want.

What they want is someone to tell them it's gonna be okay.

I don't blame them.

Yeah, me neither.

When Roche says it, I almost believe it, too.

But what I do know is that if my life support was

on the verge of running out, I'd want

someone to give me a heads up.

If you guys are stretched thin,

maybe you need some help up there.

I'm just saying four of the six council members are gone.

No, no, no, no, listen, I need you to understand

this, okay?

I'm not this helpless little thing that needs saving.

Not any more.

That is not what I--

And for the record, I didn't need

you to save me from Layton.

I had the situation covered.

I expect a certain degree of insanity from you, but Josie?

Come on.

This plan is far too risky.

But look, the key is we won't actually connect

to Snowpiercer until we've rescued Liana.

And even then, only long enough for us to make it back.

I mean, disconnecting is possible, right?

It's just the same mechanics, but in reverse.

Sort of.

It's just much harder because this time,

they'll know we're there.

I don't see them releasing us, so it's

manual override or bust.

So we'd be stuck along with New Eden's lifeline.

We won't let them take Big Alice.

But if something happens to you, we won't have contact.

We won't know.

I trust you and Alex will make the right call.

Let's not keep the man waiting.

Big Alice to Snowpiercer.

Come in.

Admiral, are you there?

Copy.

This is Snowpiercer.

Miles? Miles?

Miles, it's me. - Mom?

I'm coming to get you.

We're going to get you out of there.

Josie. Jo.

This is Milius. Who am I talking to?

This is Layton.

Just seeing if your invitation still stands.

Of course.

Appreciate you coming to your senses.

Big Alice, you are clear for docking.

You let the kid on the comms?

Seriously?

I want a detail posted outside Ag-Sec.

Eyes on that door at all times.

You made contact with Layton.

He's--he's--he's on his way?

He is.

You--you realize what happens if you

trap Layton in that last car?

I call it the welcome wagon.

Has a nice ring to it.

You can't use the Gemini variant

that your people installed.

It's too toxic.

If you hurt Melanie's people, it violates our agreement,

and we need her research.

We've lost 40 workers in the retrofit already.

A few more won't make a difference.

Leave the strategy to me.

I don't understand your strategy.

You tipped your hand by reaching out to Layton.

Tactically, you should have just let him

walk into the trap instead.

Layton is a smart man.

But he's desperate.

So tactically, I let him have hope.

A simple path to getting his kid back.

Because we both know what a little hope

will do to desperate people.

Isn't that right, Nima?

We are in this predicament because

of you and your friends.

But I can't get us out of it until you learn

to respect chain of command.

So drop and give me 20.

Push ups.

You're not serious.

That's right.

Give me 20.

Let's go. We don't have all day.

Let's do it.

1.

2.

Lieutenant, was that good form?

No, sir.

No, I didn't think so either.

That last one didn't count.

Chest all the way to the floor.

3.

I take no joy in this.

Consider it a reminder of how this partnership works.

Your turn. Favorite movie.

Till.

Come on, favorite movie.

You asked that already.

Twice.

It's still Robocop.

Yeah.

Robocop.

Dream vacation?

Okay, hear me out.

New Eden.

Your fantasy getaway is a half frozen outpost?

Yep.

Is that because you are missing

a certain nightcore singer?

Yeah.

Or is it because you've gone completely mad?

Don't you ever play what if, as in, you know,

what if you got off this goddamn train

and got to start over?

Aren't you just a little bit curious about what the fuss is?

Of course, I'm curious.

But I can't play what-ifs with life choices.

I keep it to the engineering stuff.

Like what if I push that button,

and what if I pull that lever?

The other kind of what-ifs only end up in regret.

I need your help.

Piss off.

Tell me the fastest way to disable

the gas in the last car. Now.

You tell me something.

Why do you think I would care about anything

that you need right now?

Your friends on the other train are coming.

Layton?

Yes.

But the chemical compound that's

waiting for them will do more than just

render them unconscious.

Do you understand?

Nima, do not do this.

It's not me.

It's the Admiral.

But I can help if you tell me how to disable the trap.

Quickly.

You got to cut the power to the panel.

There's a circuit breaker in the subtrain car.

Please, Nima, listen to me.

Do not hurt them.

- Pulling into range. - Copy.

Making our way to the mark.

- How's the view? - Not bad.

But I'm starting to think this idea sounded a lot

better from inside the train.

[tense music]

No, no!

You--you have no idea what you're doing!

Snowpiercer to Big Alice.

You're in position for docking.

What's the holdup?

Copy, Admiral.

We're experiencing technical difficulties

with the coupling mechanism.

Care to specify?

Misalignment.

Secondary suspension.

It's bad.

Of course.

We've pinpointed a misalignment within

the secondary suspension, which could cause mechanical failure,

if not recalibrated.

Replace rotary arm. Restart. Bye.

But once we replace the rotary arm,

we will restart the docking protocol.

Will that be all, Admiral?

Yes.

Thank you.

Smart asses.

Pump the brakes. Give them a love tap.

Let them know I'm done playing.

The trains are too close.

They'll collide.

Big Alice is in position.

Layton?

Josie?

I'm working on it.

Can you get us any closer?

No. Any closer and we risk impact.

If you're gonna make the jump, you have to do it now.

♪ ♪

What's going on back here?

[brakes screeching]

Hang on! Hang on!

I got you.

Josie, do you copy?

This area is restricted.

Get out.

This is our half of the train.

Why don't you just scram?

Last chance.

Step back.

Or I'll personally remove you.

All right.

Quit yappin.

Big Alice, we made it.

Great. Hurry.

We'll stall here as long as we can.

Welcome back to Snowpiercer.

What are you doing? Get inside.

I'm fine.

Gotta pack up the market.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Seriously, I'm okay.

Are you?

I'm fine. Really.

Are you sure?

Because I've barely seen you in a week.

You're always off on patrol.

I promise, I'm all right, okay?

Definitely not headed for another rubber room situation.

There was nothing else you could have done.

I know, okay?

But they took Liana on my watch,

and it got me thinking about you and keeping everybody safe.

And until the train comes back, it's on me.

Dad, you're doing everything you can.

The way you were holding together at town hall,

it was kind of like you were--

- Cool? - No.

I wouldn't go that far.

It's okay. You can say it.

You have an unusually cool father.

Say that.

Say it to me.

Okay, hurry up. - And make an idiot of myself?

Hurry up. Okay?

Go finish up.

The weather's really starting to turn.

Dad?

Sorry to interrupt.

I found something.

What?

Can't show you here.

Wanted me to keep my eyes peeled, so I did.

Okay, a few questions come to mind, starting with--

A hand?

A freaking hand? Where'd you get this?

Son, tell me you didn't chisel this off a corpse.

No.

How would I--no.

I was off scouting in the hills, like you wanted,

and it was just-- it was just there,

sticking out of a snow bank.

Like it was just waving hello.

I hate to be the one to ask this,

but can we trust your, like--

I'm not crazy.

Every time I try to help--

Javi's just asking a question.

Oz, thank you.

You done good.

High five.

Now, generally speaking, if a severed hand

is lying around unattended, something bad has happened.

We ought to figure out what.

- Yeah. - Right?

So, Oz, you wanna take me up to where you found this thing?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

If Javier approves.

I'm sure he does.

Javi, you mind running a few tests?

Really?

I'm an engineer, not a doctor, Roche.

What kind of test do you want me to run?

I don't know.

Do a palm reading on it, for all I care.

Just figure out what happened and how long it's been frozen.

Okay.

And what happens to the grid?

What if the arrays go down again?

This takes precedent.

If someone's out there, we ought to know.

Listen, you guys, the town is already on edge, okay?

So, in the meantime, let's just keep this quiet, all right?

- Thumbs up. - Thank you.

Let's go.

Okay, people need to stop leaving

weird shit in my workshop.

Bye.

How long ago did that cold lock open?

That's nothing.

Just an error message.

Snowpiercer to Big Alice, sorry about that fender bender.

Seems we're having some engineering issues, too.

Can you put Layton on?

I'm afraid he's tending to the faulty coupling mechanism.

Is there anything I can help you with?

That's all right.

Let me know when you have them.

Layton's here.

Get to the cold locks.

Find him.

Relieve him of his post.

Bring back engineer Knox.

It seems we're going to need him again after all.

I'll tend to you shortly.

[tense music]

You okay?

You tweak something in the fall?

Yeah. I'm not sure. Can't feel anything.

Don't stop.

Keep moving.

How did you find us?

Saw your entrance.

Admiral's men are looking for you.

Figured I'd better find you first.

I'm glad you did.

We're looking for Liana.

- Here? On the train? - Yeah, you heard me.

Snowpiercer made any unscheduled stops lately?

Train stops all the time.

It's part of the retrofit.

If she's here, chances are she'd be in the youth car.

What?

It's where they keep all the children now.

They separated the parents from the children.

It's a deterrent to keep the people from revolting.

We need to get up there.

It's up in First Class.

Near impossible.

Maybe I can find you some help on the assembly line.

A lot's changed.

You'll see. Come on.

He can't know about this.

Admiral's making a tactical mistake.

He's--he's--he's-- he's--he's jeopardizing

this entire project.

[rasping] You keep moving.

The symptoms, they're getting worse, aren't they?

I--I--I hear it.

The burning in the lungs.

How is the scarring?

May I see?

Tissue is receding.

I know your team is not fond of me.

Those trials were never supposed to affect

your respiratory system.

Not--not--not like this.

I might have a fix, however.

No.

It's--it's okay.

It's a supplement.

It plugs into your breathing apparatus.

It's just something to take away the pain.

Thank you.

Javi.

Is this about earlier?

No.

If so, message received.

I will stay out of your business.

That's--not exactly.

But about earlier, I didn't mean to snap at you.

Just under a lot--

Javi, I don't need an apology.

I need more responsibility.

I know. I know. And you deserve it.

But I'm a former Wilfordite, right?

What?

That's why they don't want me on the council?

No. No. Everyone knows you're not that.

Come on.

I am literally in charge of the town's food supply,

and yet, I'm the last one to know when

anything happens around here.

Did they at least bring my name up?

Yeah, they did.

And?

And I stayed silent.

When I should have vouched for you.

Okay, now I am looking for an apology.

You got one.

I am sorry.

I'm sorry.

I screwed up.

And you do deserve more say around here.

You should know what's going on.

Really?

Yeah, really.

So in the spirit of transparency.

All right.

Didn't see that coming.

Keep your head down.

Words do not do this justice.

Jesus.

I thought we got rid of The Tail.

All this for a retrofit?

Any idea what they're doing here?

Need to know basis.

They compartmentalize the work.

Limit access to some cars, one in particular near the back.

That's the checkpoint.

The only way past the barricade is via the subtrain.

- Layton. - Layton?

Layton, we need to go now.

No.

Layton?

Are you here to help us?

We can fight, Layton.

We've been waiting for you.

Slow down.

We can't take the engine now, okay?

We're here to rescue Liana.

What?

But as soon as she's safe, I promise we

will come back for all of you.

Screws turning.

Watch out now.

Get him to the subtrain.

I'll help Josie. - Okay.

Josie! Now!

Come on.

Let's go.

This way. Come on.

This way.

Jesus.

Come on, Layton.

[tense music]

Welcome back.

I trust your time away has cleared your head.

Glad to hear it.

I need to know, how do we enable Big Alice's

docking mechanism remotely?

It's a train, so there's no remote control.

You sure about that?

You need some more time in the box to rethink that answer?

Yeah.

I'd be happy to go back down there.

Okay.

Snowpiercer to Big Alice.

I'm afraid the repairs are still underway.

Cut the theater.

I know Layton is aboard Snowpiercer.

I'm telling you this as a courtesy.

If you want to see him again, then you better keep up.

Double time.

Give me full throttle.

Now.

Snowpiercer's accelerating.

Ruth, what's the call?

We can't leave him.

Follow the train.

[gloomy music]

Hey, look, I appreciate the assist,

but why are we going backwards?

I need to get up to the front.

There's no getting past the guards now.

There's a subtrain hatch up ahead.

If you slip down, you can sneak past the checkpoints.

Just go.

[tense music]

Looks like the fight is still going on.

As good a distraction as any.

I'll stay here and run interference.

That'll buy you time to find the youth car.

Thank you, doctor.

Sure you can make it?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey, hey, hey!

What did you do with Ben?

Hey, shut up, or you say goodbye to your water break.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Is my voice killing your vibe?

Hey, come back here!

Get back here, now!

[tense music]

Till.

Till.

Josie?

Josie?

Josie, oh, my god.

What is this place?

Open the door.

Down there.

Pull the handle.

Shit.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You're here.

The trap.

How did you get past it?

Me and Layton took the long way around.

I'll explain later.

Right now, I have to find Liana.

Liana? She's here?

Pelton said something about the youth car.

Do you know where that is? - Yeah.

Yeah. Follow me.

So, Audrey, she good?

Yeah. Yeah.

She's alive.

Don't move.

Get away from him.

I don't know you.

I'm--I'm--I'm just a chemist.

Who are you?

Name's Layton.

You just a chemist?

Explain that.

I poisoned him.

Why would you do that?

He--he--he--he, um, he caught me trying to disable

a trap meant for you.

You know who I am?

I do.

So you know why I'm here?

I can take you to her.

Any sign of her?

No.

Just a bunch of scared kids.

Miles?

Mom?

Miles.

Oh my god.

Are you okay?

Did they hurt you?

I'm all right.

They won't let me go.

We're going to get you out of here.

Come on.

- No Liana. - Come on.

Liana?

I don't think she's here.

Get Miles out of here now.

Josie--

Please, Till, take him.

Go. Go, go, go.

Run.

Go.

[tense music]

So you knew about this?

You let him steal a kid?

Nope. That wasn't my idea.

It was the Admiral's doing.

You're holding out on me.

Of course I am.

That's what's keeping me alive.

Not for long.

You don't understand.

We're saving the world.

The climate pocket you live in, my team fired

the rocket that created it.

Now that we have Snowpiercer, we can do the same for the rest

of the world's atmosphere.

That's some mad scientist shit.

Move.

So we're just going to cruise around the world looking

for places to launch rockets?

No, we're retrofitting the train

so it could launch a rocket from one of its cars.

We'll--we'll create a web of inhabitable pockets

spanning the entire globe.

That's--that's why you see all of these materials down here

in the First Class subtrain.

I've got eyes on him.

Take him.

Stop!

Hey, hey, hey, any closer, and I will snap his neck,

I swear.

Admiral, because I'm pretty sure you're listening,

I want you to know, I will see you soon.

[dramatic music]

They're turning.

Where did this track come from?

New track.

Audrey, she said that they made stops somewhere.

I don't know about this one, Ruth.

This is a bad idea.

I don't think we have much choice at this point, do you?

Into the belly of the beast we go.

[tense music]

Ah, Miss Wellstead.

I'm so glad we could finally meet in person.

I hoped to speak to Layton directly,

but the man remains uncooperative.

Maybe you can help with that.

I wouldn't count on that.

The truth is, I don't have Layton's daughter.

I can, however, take you to her.

The terms are simple.

Let's trade.

Liana for Big Alice.

Judging by the frostburn, this thing was frozen recently.

And based off the fracture, it was ripped right off the arm.

You got all that just by looking at it?

I spent seven years on a train with Wilford.

This isn't my first dismembered limb.

Okay.

Hold on.

Might--

Yeah.

Thank you.

How did you know that was in there?

Because I had one implanted in my hand, too.

To open doors on Snowpiercer.

This hand didn't belong to an outsider.

It's from one of us.

Where's Roche?

Bet you're wishing you stayed in your tent now, huh?

No. I needed this.

Thank you.

That means a lot, you sticking up for me.

I'm loving the gratitude, but are we there yet?

Almost.

Think--think I found it around here.

[woman's indistinct voice]

I can hear her.

Where are you? Where are you?

Hey, Oz, did you see that?

Back. She's back.

Okay.

Can anyone hear me?

I can hear her.

Can you hear me?

Wherever you are, come closer.

Roche!

Roche!

Roche!

Roche!

Roche!

[dramatic music]

I'm looking for Andre Layton.

I'm surprised to hear you on the official line, Andre.

I need you to connect the trains.

The people on this train have suffered enough.

You stole a child!

Milius: Don't worry, Layton. This will all be over soon.

Oh!

This is the part you're not going to like.

Welcome home.
