Original subtitles

Once we have the power of both engines

to reach the launch point, the great thaw can begin.

It will erode the atmosphere,

we will all get poisoned.

we will lose oxygen until we can't breathe.

And that's just before the blood boils out of our bodies.

- Alright. - It's a lot.

Ready to connect the trains.

Get on the train!

Layton and the others boarded the train.

Push up!

Hold the door! Hold the door!

Boki!

From the Tail to the Drawers to the helm,

it's hard not to think of the past.

The battles, the losses,

the compromises we've made to save as many as we could.

Did they really just abandon ship?

Why would they do that?

We have to go check.

They might have left soldiers up there.

We should be prepared.

We could grab something heavy and swingable

on the subengine. - OK.

From Old Ivan to Mama Grande,

Last Australian to Pike,

one life after another.

One door after the next.

Always moving forward,

hoping that what's in front of us

is better than what's behind.

Come on, people.

We didn't work this hard just to get on board.

We need to keep moving forward.

Any news from downtrain?

Javi's still working on it.

The door is not responding.

What, we're cut off from Big Alice?

- You get this door open? - Yeah.

This car-to-car shit reminds me of the bad old days.

I was never this scared back then.

Andre Layton scared?

Don't believe that for a minute.

Believe it.

Never had this much to lose.

What you don't realize

as you're plowing ahead, keeping score,

is that it's not so much about where you are.

No one home.

But who you're with.

One train!

One train!

One train!

One train!

Everything's down.

This wasn't a part of the retrofit plan.

He kept this from us.

Big Alice is essentially now a glorified server.

Under Snowpiercer's control.

So we've lost the Engine.

One train.

Whether we like it or not, we are all we have,

The survivors who are left,

banding together for one last stand.

all: One train!

On Snowpiercer.

all: One train!

Let's go, let's go. Keep pushing 'em back.

- Go, go, go. - Ruth, watch out!

Gas. Everybody run!

Everybody, get back. Get back!

Alex, we might have to shift gears.

Find Layton. Go for the rocket?

No. I can get us back up online.

Nima can't and won't ever be able to launch the thing

if he can never reach the launch point.

Alex, I don't think we have time for that.

Mom, I know this engine forwards and backwards.

Every bolt, every screw.

Yeah, I'm not disputing that.

Well, if we give up on her now,

Wilford will roll in his grave, if he even has one.

He's dead?

Yes.

He thought he was still in the Silo.

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

Um, maybe because I've been dealing with

my biological father trying to destroy the world.

OK, but can we just talk about it for a minute?

I would really just rather not, OK?

Like you said, we don't have time.

Now, are you going to help me

get this engine back up or what?

OK, let's try a clean reboot of the operating system.

- What's going on? - It's locked.

They used breach sealer.

Well, it's our only way up or downtrain,

so we need to unseal it.

No. We need leverage.

All right. Let's go find some.

OK, good to go.

Everybody ready?

Yeah, da.

One, two, three, pull!

Pull, pull!

Either they cleared out or they're planning an ambush.

Or they probably dropped back to guard the rocket.

OK. Till, Javi, Josie, let's go get Melanie downtrain.

If anyone can disarm that rocket, she can.

Everyone else, head uptrain.

Clear a path to that Rocket Car.

All right. Wish us luck.

Hey, what about Ruth?

We gonna to try and find her?

Ruth's tough. She can take care of herself.

Rocket's the priority.

Hey. - I'm going uptrain.

Keep on pushing. It's where the fight is.

All right.

What is this?

No, I--I-- I want everyone out.

No one enters but me from now on.

You heard the man.

How close is Layton?

Not close. Maybe 45 cars away.

He won't be an issue. - Mm-hmm.

If we need to,

we can use the hostages to slow Layton down.

No, we're not using the children.

Not them.

The leader of New Eden.

That could be useful. Let's get to the engine.

I don't want to miss history when it happens.

So we hit the brakes, execute a manual shutdown.

We're getting close to the coast.

If we do that, we could send the entire train spinning.

You made it.

- Yeah, hey. - Hi, Javi.

Hey, there's no one guarding the subtrain or the W doors.

What's going on? - See for yourself.

They took the throttle?

A little overkill, if you ask me.

So Snowpiercer has complete control of the system again?

Alice is just a rudder.

- They took both units? - Yeah.

You know how to disarm that rocket?

I'm familiar with the designs, yeah.

The hard part will be getting my hands on it.

Mm-mm. We got people clearing the way for you.

We'll get you there.

We had a ceremony.

Ruth said some really nice things.

We've just reached the edge of the continent, sir.

Primary drivers are lowering.

Take us out to sea.

Bad track?

No track.

We're in the ocean? How?

Apparently, that's what nine months

of a rolling prison camp gets you.

We have to regain control.

How long have we got?

If we maintain this speed, about three hours.

Three hours. To fight through,

what, 40-plus cars and disarm a rocket? Never gonna happen.

Is there any way we can stall them?

Yeah.

The launcher's in a briefcase that Nima can connect

either in the Mission Control Car next to the rocket itself

or by a hardline in the Snowpiercer engine.

My guess is he'll want to launch from up front

where he can see things play out.

- It's even farther away. - Yes.

What about the electrical box in Third Class?

That's the primary junction box between the Engine

and the back of the train. - Exactly.

So if we can sever comms to the engine,

then he can't launch from there.

That way, he has to come to us.

That should buy us time to get you in that Rocket Car.

- If we make it up there. - Oh, we gon' make it.

We've gone more than 40 cars before, haven't we?

- If memory serves, you have. - Yeah. Tilly, axe up.

Let's get Javi to that panel.

You coming?

We'll be right behind you.

I realize gassing your town

did not make a very good first impression.

I was hoping we could resolve this conflict together.

Wouldn't that be nice?

You can start by telling your forces to stand down.

Well, I can do better than that.

I'll surrender Big Alice,

bring it to New Eden,

let you all live out your lives in peace.

After I've launched the Gemini compound.

With the chemical that's supposed to destroy the Earth?

Don't believe everything Melanie says.

I take her word over yours.

Oh, really? Has--has Melanie never lied to you?

Mm? Or made a mistake?

From what Wilford said,

she's made quite a few mistakes.

Well, I wouldn't believe everything

Mr. Wilford says either.

Gemini will need a few months to spread,

uh, before the planet begins to warm.

But in the meantime, the--the people will need

someone to restore order--

someone they can listen to,

like the leader of New Eden.

Oh, so you need a puppet.

No, it's not--it's not--

I--I wasn't built to lead.

I'm just a chemist.

But you, you could get on that PA system right now,

take control, and calm the masses.

You can end this if you tell them to just stop.

And you'll surrender Big Alice?

What about Snowpiercer?

All the passengers would go back with you, of course.

- With the Engine? - Well, actually, I'd--

I'd like to keep the Engine,

um, maybe some support cars. Do some further testing.

I need a second to think about it.

Well, think quickly, please, because people are dying.

OK?

Whoa, whoa, hey.

OK. Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey. All right.

I think you got him.

You OK? - Yeah.

We found a straggler setting up gas canisters.

There are more cars rigged up ahead.

Now, that's knockout gas.

They probably got it throughout the subtrain

to gas the cars above.

What? You mean we can't move up top

unless we disconnect them all?

We found signs of life about 35 cars up.

More soldiers. Waiting for us.

- Let's not disappoint them. - No, no.

What if they set off the gas down here?

They could just drop the bay doors

and knock us all out before we even get there.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

I'm--I'm sorry.

I don't have time for distractions, Doctor.

Layton's people have made it into the subtrain.

And we're--we're approaching the, um, launch point.

That's precisely why I asked to see you, Doctor.

I have something I believe will be of assistance.

I don't understand.

How?

That's the beauty of science, Doctor.

Sykes?

Ruth!

Welcome to the jailbreak. What are you doing up here?

Hey.

Well, now I'm looking for a fight.

You've come to the right place.

Alex.

We're out of time.

If I can just reconfigure the wires on the throttle control--

Alex.

If this was the Snowpiercer Engine

and it was your turf instead of Wilford's,

would you really give up this easily?

It's just too much to fix right now.

Listen to me.

It was confusing with him, I know.

He was brilliant and charismatic

and he was also cruel.

Parts of me hated him.

And then he saved you, so parts of me couldn't.

Well, I'm glad that you got that off of your chest.

Now we should probably get back to work.

Otherwise, you should maybe leave because

that rocket is not going to disarm itself.

Well, come with me.

Do you have any idea what this engine means to me?

I turned this into a life-source for New Eden.

I've spent years of my life here.

I was practically raised here.

- I know. - No, you don't.

So maybe you should go.

Not without you.

Did you know when we walked in here

that there was no saving her?

It looked that way to me.

So why did you stay?

Because you are so damn smart,

maybe you could see something that I couldn't.

And also,

all I ever did was leave.

I'm just not gonna do it anymore.

So, you were willing to watch me toil over Big Alice,

knowing that it could cost the world?

No.

'Cause you wouldn't let that happen.

We should go.

Maybe you should stick with me.

- All right. - Look.

I don't like where your head's at.

You haven't been the same since the Silo.

That is a brilliant deduction, detective.

Hey.

I'm sorry, OK? I'm sorry for what happened.

I'm sorry that I wasn't there-- - Oh, Layton, just stop.

None of this is your responsibility, OK?

Headwood is not the objective.

I know. Just "one train," right?

Once Javi takes care of the panel,

I'll rally the passengers uptrain,

and we'll make a push on the Rocket Car, OK?

Just got to convince them to fight.

Yeah, it'd help if we had Ruth.

Yeah, we'll find her.

I'll send you a signal once we've got the all clear, OK?

You can send everyone else along.

You should get up top. - Good luck.

Incoming!

Arrived. Clearing now.

Copy. Meet you all in the middle.

We're gonna need to blend in.

Finally back in uniform.

- We good. - You got the door?

Ruth. Ruth, you're here!

Mr. Colvin, pick up a spear. We've a rocket to stop.

But I thought that rocket was supposed to,

you know, save the world.

Everyone!

I met the man in charge, face to face.

Asked him directly what his plans were for Snowpiercer

after the rocket launch.

And it turns out he's not planning on giving her back

because he's not sure his experiment is gonna work.

The eyes always reveal the truth,

and I saw nothing but doubt in his.

Yeah. And if he don't think it's gon' work,

you really want to bet your lives on it?

This rocket will kill us all if we don't stop him.

We need warriors and weapons, whatever you can find.

The march downtrain begins now. Are you with me?

Let's go!

All right, if anyone asks, we're just--

just escorting him to the market, OK?

Just keep a low profile.

Gents, how are ya?

What did I just say?

What's the matter?

Here it is. It's gonna take a few minutes.

Easy to get caught with our knickers down out here.

Yeah, all right. I'll be lookout downtrain.

Yeah, I'll take uptrain.

Make sure they can't move in case they wake up.

Don't worry. If they move, they will hurt.

I'll take the rest uptrain to meet the others.

Let's go!

Oh. I was starting to wonder.

- Sorry for the delay. - No, you're just in time.

We were just about to make a move

on top to this Utility Car.

Anyone else feel a chill?

Somebody must have breached the car.

It's another trap.

Good thing we have a former Breachman.

Hey.

There's a dozen soldiers marching towards us right now.

- I need more time. - We're gonna have to fight.

No, no, no. There's too many of them.

And you don't look the part.

Come on. Get in this couchette.

- Till. - Get in.

What's all this about?

Techie's just fixing a busted comms panel.

- I didn't hear about this. - Hence the busted comms.

There was a surge in the CAT nine line.

I think it shorted the router box,

so I'm just bypassing the input connection.

OK, whatever.

But you two, get your asses in gear.

Us?

There's a rebellion brewing in the market.

We have to guard the Rocket Car.

So fall in. - Yes, ma'am.

How long before we reach the launch point?

ETA 30 minutes.

Mission Control's not responding.

What--what's going on?

Josie.

Josie, let's go.

Uh, we need to get to the Rocket Car.

This launch will not be delayed.

In--in--in case we get separated,

I'm--I'm gonna need protection.

Um, give--give me your gun.

Temperature's rising back to normal.

Come on up!

Boki, you all right?

Hang back a sec.

Oh, shit.

Layton?

If you had any bullets left in that gun,

my friend there would be dead by now.

- Will you shut the blast door? - Yeah.

Ah!

I gotta get uptrain and help the others.

Guard that door.

Make sure no one gets in.

Breachman Bojan Boscovic, at your service.

Hey, blueberry. Where you going?

- Nice work. - Thanks.

Tie him up, get him in a couchette.

What are you doing here, Javi? - Javi?

- Where's everyone else? - It's a long story.

Oh, good. I was hoping my escort would be here early.

Today is too historic a day.

Today is too important a day to be sitting on the sidelines.

We need to be where the action is.

You already are, Doctor.

Josie, how did you find me here?

It wasn't hard.

Josie, listen.

I have only ever tried to save your life.

I have tried to save the life of all of my patients--

Nope, you played with my life.

And I gave Liana back to you and Layton.

Don't you understand? You've made me numb.

You've made me immune. I don't give a shit anymore.

Josie, please.

You can feel. You don't want to do this.

Oh. No, I think I do, Doctor.

They're coming.

Not a soul gets through these doors, do you understand?

What--whatever it takes.

Do we really have to extract them one by one?

Can't just move the braces and pull the whole thing?

Once the shock absorbers are locked in, that's it.

It's a failsafe so no amount of turbulence

can dislodge the payload when the rocket takes off.

And what happens if we break one of these?

- What's that sensor? - It's the payload compartment.

It must be a glitch. We locked the hatch hours ago.

Why are the blast doors closed?

They're-- they're not supposed to close

for another five minutes.

Has--has someone gone in there?

Just the Rat, sir. Per your orders.

He must have shut them.

Close this. Go hide.

Did--did you really think I couldn't get in here?

Step--step away from the rocket.

Last chance to listen to reason, Nima.

Put your ego aside and look at the numbers.

Come--come out. Alex.

Alex, I know you're in here. Come out where I can see you,

or--or I will shoot your mother.

- You won't shoot me. - I will.

OK? I will if you make me.

Oh, good.

Now, uh, open it up.

You have five minutes to-- to put the vials back,

all of them.

Whoa.

Last stop. Stand down and I'll let you live.

What a coincidence.

I was about to make you the same offer.

This is our train. - Our train!

- Sorry I'm late. - No worries.

We are just getting started. - Here we go.

I'd think twice about that.

I found a friend of yours.

Layton, do me a favor and kill this guy, will ya?

You know what I think?

I think that team you were talking about,

they were the top chemists, climatologists,

geo-engineers in the world,

led by the smartest person in any room.

But somehow, you've still got it wrong.

I--I know what you're trying to do, all right?

I think it wasn't the team that failed you.

- Finish the job. - I think it was just you.

Alex, work faster and close the hatch when you're done.

Keep your cardigan on.

I think you knew that the CW-7 wasn't ready,

but you couldn't admit that you were behind schedule or wrong,

even though the smallest detail could be catastrophic

and change the whole world. - Just stop. Stop.

And how wrong was he, Alex?

Well, are we counting flora and fauna

on top of the seven billion? - Enough!

Enough! You don't know anything.

You don't know anything!

You weren't there, all right? It should have worked.

It should have worked, God damn you!

Huh.

But it didn't.

And neither will this.

It's OK. Whatever happens, it's OK.

- No, it's not, Till. - It's OK.

Not for me.

Just take 'em all out. Just take 'em.

T-minus two minutes to launch.

Stop the launch, Nima.

Please, Nima.

I don't know what happened. It shouldn't have happened.

Well, end this now.

I can't end this now.

Do you understand? I can't end this now

because the--the system is automated after activation.

I'm sorry.

Melanie, I'm sorry, but it's too late now.

There has to be a way.

There's no other way. You have to go.

You have to get out of here as fast as you can.

Away from the train, away from Africa.

I'm glad we met.

T-minus 30 seconds to launch.

Run!

Get in that door and control it!

Drop your weapons!

Cracking skulls just like old times, eh?

You know that wasn't a good thing, right?

- Go on into the next car. - Right behind you.

Christ.

- Don't even think about it. - How do we stop the rocket?

Hey, you shouldn't be in here.

What--how do we do it?

Come on, there's got to be something.

Kill switch, some--some launch codes.

There isn't! Nima wouldn't allow it.

Icebreaker is tracking according to all the models.

That's it then? We're doomed.

Gemini didn't make it to the stratosphere.

We're safe.

I didn't think the payload hatch would hold up

to the G-Forces without anything attaching it.

So it's over?

It's over.

Apocalypse dodged. That's two for two.

Hm!

Josie?

You all right?

She just started sobbing.

Not because she was afraid she was gonna die,

but because I took those shoes from her

and she wanted to cling to the memory

of the man that she loved.

I left you when you needed me the most--

Hey. You don't owe me an explanation.

You have the train.

Glad we didn't have to go there.

Care to do the honors?

Sure.

Um...

how do I steer?

Attention, all passengers.

Good morning.

The temperature in New Eden

is a balmy minus 6 degrees Celsius.

As we disengage the caterpillar system and return to track,

we remind you, for your personal safety,

be prepared to brace.

They're home!

Winnie, hey!

Hey! What took you so long?

Hey, hey!

Look at that!

There she is. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, oh.

- What'd you do to her? - Nothing.

- Thank you very much. - I didn't do nothing, man.

Ah, it's good to see you, man.

Hey, I think now you can have a grilled cheese sandwich.

It should only take Javi and me a day or so

to get Big Alice up and running again.

Then the question is if we have to pop the clutch

on Snowpiercer or if we have to make a quick exit.

There's a lot we don't know.

We don't actually know how long this pocket's going to last.

Do we?

Data was inconclusive.

Could be today or 50 years from now.

But I guess the truth is,

tomorrow's never a promise.

"Carpe diem" it is, then.

We do get to choose how we live, though.

I'm glad that you stayed.

No place I'd rather be.

Oh, I didn't think I was gonna to see you two tonight.

Oh, no Liana? - No, Miles is watching her

so Mom and Dad could have a night out.

Oh, lovely.

- I'll see you inside. - Yeah, right behind you.

Everything all right?

When that rocket went off...

it felt like the end.

I know. Did, didn't it?

For a minute, that almost felt, uh...

peaceful?

No more fighting, no more cold.

No more council meetings.

Nuh-uh, you're not getting off that easy.

Well, you can't blame me for trying.
