Original subtitles

Every day, every one of us makes a trade.

A pencil for a pen,

an apple for an orange…

a dance for a smile.

For Mr. Layton's eyes only.

But these trades don't always go the way you plan.

You give more than you get, the terms change.

You end up having to trade with yourself.

I staked my future on a single trade.

A life with him for a place on this train.

It's been 19 revolutions.

No matter how far I travelled,

I should have known Wilford would find me…

on Snowpiercer…

1,034 cars long.

I told Audrey you wanted to see her.

Good. And?

Well, Wilford opens a lot of old wounds, so just go easy on her.

Hello, there, good morning.

- Morning, Ruth. - Zarah.

Well, congratulations, Mr. Layton.

Trade went off without a hitch this morning.

And this is for you personally.

Well?

Mr. Wilford's offering treatment to our frostbite patients.

Victims of his big ugly Coldman.

Oh, from the Drs. Headwood?

That's a generous offer. Wouldn't you say?

Not exactly.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

Frostbite treatment? Are you thinking it could help Josie?

I think we have 14 frostbite patients it could help.

- Bye. - Bye.

I'm not asleep.

Snowpiercer Engineers launched their climate instruments today.

Oh, yes, the great uplink with Melanie.

What if there's just silence, but no contact at all?

Then, she froze to death exactly as you said.

Quite a cliff-hanger, isn't it?

- What's it say? - "What do you want?"

What does Mr. Layton think I want?

I know.

Your paramour, Miss Audrey.

"Paramour"?

What novel are you reading?

Why don't you just invite her over already?

Because what I want…

is much more fun.

How about a night out, my dear, on Snowpiercer?

Looks like you could use a cup of tea.

Three brand-new bogie motors procured in the middle of Alaska of all places.

Yep.

All right. I think I'm all calibrated.

I've got temperature, humidity, wind speed and barometer.

Good.

And… in you go.

She's been out there for three days, Javi.

I know, man.

She's got the systems up.

She's probably just waiting there all warm and cozy for the data.

So…

He wants an evening out in his Nightcar.

You've been putting off this conversation,

so I can only guess what it is you want me to do.

You meant a lot to him.

I spent years washing my hands clean of him.

I'd appreciate understanding it.

When I was 18, I was already a high-end escort.

Private parties for the most powerful men and women in Chicago.

They would go on for days, these parties.

And they were all on his trains.

You need to know,

I was his…

exclusively, for years.

It paid in gold, but I lost everything.

And now, you're asking me to reopen Pandora's box?

If we had you in his ear to gain his trust, to steer him,

we will help you, all of us.

This is the cause now, Audrey.

I'll do it,

but not for any of you.

Not for the science, or Melanie's mission.

This one's for me.

An invitation…

to the esteemed Joseph Wilford.

"You are hereby invited to a celebration of science

with Snowpiercer and their team of Engineers."

A bit much, isn't it? They're launching a balloon,

not an inter-continental ballistic missile.

They're asking for a guest list.

Which means you would have to invite some of the crew.

Oh, fiddlesticks, do I really?

Yes, it's what we're here for.

- Yeah. - Snowpiercer.

Not Dubs. He's actually been dragging us around and around the world

in desperate search of his paramour.

Don't…

say that word.

She's a poem,

you hear me?

A witchy bird of grace

that holds the soul of the train.

She's a key.

Do you want to seize Snowpiercer in your fists with me or not?

- Yes. - We do.

Good. Good.

I was thinking of wearing my silk brocade suit and my ruffle shirt.

Thought that might be nice.

Takes so little for people to be so happy.

Don't ruin it.

This is the most delicious thing I've tasted in seven years.

It gets better.

My good people. You have been so patient.

No, no, no, please… please be seated.

I promised you fresh fruit and vegetables.

You've earned them.

But I promised you something else, didn't I?

One thousand and one cars to stretch your legs.

And tonight, I'm gonna fulfill that pledge.

Yes.

All of your names are inside this hat.

Mr. Wilford will select three crew members

for a night out on Snowpiercer.

Our first lucky winner is…

Oiler Bob.

Come on, Bobby!

Our second intrepid adventurer is…

Don't freak out, you'll be one of the names.

Oh, my God, I love you.

Damien Ho!

Good job, Damien!

I like the cut of your jib, son.

And the third and final name on my guest list is…

our seamstress Emilia.

My goodness!

- My goodness, it's me! - Come on!

She deserves it. Well done!

Wilford's guest list is three names I don't recognize.

Is there anybody on that list we can turn to our advantage?

Right, I'll take them to the notary.

If they were ticketed on Snowpiercer, we'll have records.

Good. Ben?

Tonight, we make first contact with Melanie.

Let's not forget that's what this evening's all about.

Yes. It's a hopeful message to share with our guests.

By celebrating the mission's first step, we make this endeavor undeniable to them.

And Wilford's cooperation has to be inescapable.

What happens if we bring Wilford up here, and we don't hear from Melanie?

She has to make contact.

Agreed. This is our leap of faith.

We wanna make inroads with his crew,

show them what freedom looks like, so that Wilford can't demonize us.

He'll be doing the same thing to us, seducing our crew.

He'll try and turn everyone in this room.

He's already got his hooks in some of us.

If you're referring to me, come out and say it.

No, I mean anyone who knew him before.

Anyone he hired personally.

Yeah. Well, I worked security detail for the man for four years.

Anyone else work for Mr. Wilford?

This circle has got to trust each other.

Now, I need you to give Mr. Wilford the greatest night he has ever had

aboard Snowpiercer.

- Hospitality would like nothing more. - Good.

Then let's put on a show.

I just…

I saw those faces.

It just hit me, how few of us are left.

How many we've lost.

But here I still am,

barely a scratch.

Hey, we all ask why, Bess.

What do you still stand for?

Uh…

I used to know what was true,

what wasn't…

where I belonged.

But…

now I have no one.

Just this…

Hey. Hey. There's 3,000 of us…

left.

Two thousand, seven hundred and forty-seven…

on Snowpiercer.

Actually, it's 46.

A mess chef died yesterday.

Yeah.

Billions of souls have left us, Bess.

It's because we're so few that the survivor's guilt feels unbearable.

You're not alone.

Hmm.

All right. Would you like to follow me?

All right. Okay.

- It's amazing. - You see?

The patient feels almost instant relief.

What does it do exactly?

It's a hydrogel-based bio…

All done here.

We have one more patient, up in the Second Class clinic.

- Right this way. - Uh-huh.

I got this one.

Um, I know who you're taking them to see.

Hospitality needs to escort them.

- Oh. It's very serious. - Very serious indeed.

She'd need custom grafting.

Clot busters for blood flow.

Well, she'll have to come back to our lab.

Your lab on Big Alice?

Sterile recovery. Absolutely no visitors.

Can we have a moment?

Melanie doesn't understand.

What are we talking about?

Your Andre Layton.

Melanie tells me that I should trust him, but it's him that doesn't trust me.

He has no idea how hard I work.

I do.

You know every passenger by name, every Class, every Guild.

Every nook and every cranny.

And just because I admire Mr. Wilford, that doesn't mean…

that I'm disloyal.

I am loyal… to the train.

He's pushing me out.

He's pushing out my department.

Maybe we could help each other.

What do you think about me joining Hospitality?

Go on.

Do you think I should be worried?

Does Wilford know who I am?

I think frostbite therapy is too good of a coincidence.

Well, how could they know that much about us already?

Our names weren't on the original manifest.

Ruth?

No, not Ruth.

Not yet.

Does the therapy work?

It seems to, but the Headwoods are doing other shit back there.

Augmenting people for cold resistance.

You'd be too isolated.

Look at me, Layton.

Properly, you haven't been.

I'm not going to recover here.

- Josie… - At least I could be of use back there.

You need eyes on them, don't you?

I'll find out everything I can.

And I know you've got Pike cooking something at the border.

Yeah, if tonight goes as planned, we should have a pipeline.

Well, then…

let's use it.

What is this?

That's what you get.

You said you're gonna bring all your product to me.

I didn't say that, you said that.

After you said you don't like being seen doing business with the Tail!

All right, keep it down. Relax.

There's a rumor. Wilford's coming uptrain again.

Big event in the Nightcar.

So, I'll take the weed, and a good price. Hmm?

What you got?

All right.

Ooh.

- There. - More Britannicas. Nice!

You know, Terence,

Janitorial has become a geopolitical casualty.

The Tail is the new pipeline for riches.

Maybe get your mop jockeys to move that quickly for me,

and I'll give you a little more weight next time.

Tell your people to stop.

I did not do that.

If you use the Tail in your Wilford games, we'll come for you.

That's our four hundred to your ten.

And you will meet more than just Breachmen.

There are many, many more of us right under your little nose.

- Incoming! - Hey!

What's the Nightcar like, Alex?

I heard it's a brothel.

I think it's more like a cabaret.

They're gonna have everything.

Mangoes?

- Excited, are we? - Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Well, get this straight.

This is my night.

A chance for me to meet up with old acquaintances,

and hopefully, see Melanie's balloon pop in their faces.

All right?

Easy-peasy.

Everybody got their top buttons done up?

Time for your big night out! Come on!

The Tailies jumped Boki.

Payback for Lights, I guess.

He claims they tried to kill him.

If four Tailies wanted to kill a Breachman, he would be dead.

Look at this shit.

We got Tailies wandering around uptrain with these.

Yo, Layton, we gotta protect ourselves.

No one needs to open carry in the market right now.

Going crazy over here.

Hey, I told you I'd take care of it.

Boki, you ever meet Wilford?

Da.

First, when I was 14, building bridges for him in Serbia.

Guess that makes you a lifer, then?

Proud to say, it does.

Hey! Hey!

- Come on! What is wrong with you? - My foot slipped, all right?

Hey, you don't know that guy's the finger-chopper. The hell was that?

Look, I have a Wilford problem.

Whether the Breachmen did it or not,

he's got support up here, and he's coming uptrain tonight.

How much do you want Boki hanging around, waving three fingers, riling everybody up?

We can hold him under martial law.

Indefinitely, if you want.

Okay. So, throw Boki in the brig, confine the rest to quarters.

But I'm telling you, there's something deeper going on here.

I know. I know times are changing.

But whatever happens to me, the Tail needs to stand by Layton.

Josie…

We have something for you.

Miles…

Miles.

I didn't want you to come.

I don't care, Mom. You're my hero.

Guess where he's engineering?

Life Systems.

I wanna be one of the first colonists to be back outside.

You hold on to that hope, Miles.

All right.

Ready.

It's okay.

Are you nervous?

I'm just worried about Audrey.

I'll have her back.

And yours.

Hey…

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

Oh, yes.

I'm joining Hospitality.

Ruth is just using you to influence me.

It's my idea, not hers.

This way I can keep an eye on her.

I think you should stay out of it.

You need her.

Yeah, so I've been told. Thank you.

Then listen, and let me help.

Typical.

We're minutes away from being able to leave,

and you go and change everything.

What? All I changed was the outfit.

Yeah. Teal. It's not your color.

Since we're not together anymore, I'm not sure you really get to say that.

Oh, yeah?

- What are you... - Do the other one.

Just trust me.

Let's see.

Much better. Man of the people.

I forgot you're really good at this.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Ready?

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado,

I present, Mr. Wilford and his crew.

Wilford! Wilford! Wilford!

Good to see you. Good to see you all.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

All your area.

Thank you very much.

There he is.

- Mr. Layton. - Mr. Wilford.

We welcome you and your crew to this historic moment of hope for our people.

If I can direct all of your attention towards our Engineers.

All right.

- Good? - We're good.

Good evening, everyone.

Tonight, we'll be launching the first weather balloon

that will transmit data to our own Melanie Cavill.

Ben.

Once the balloon reaches height, which is in about 75 minutes,

Melanie will link to it, and we'll hear a signal.

That ping will indicate that Melanie is safe,

and that our mission is underway.

I say there won't be a ping.

Anyone taking wagers?

It looks like we're in launch mode now,

and Javi will do the honors.

Okay. We're launching in three, two, one.

We'll be back in a short while

to update you with our progress. Thank you.

Better finish dressing.

Wilford awaits.

I always made him wait.

You sure you wanna do this? There's still time to back out.

I'm sure.

Will you take this out to him?

Zarah,

when I get him in there,

if I'm not out in 30 minutes, come get me.

Thank you.

I see you've raided my cellar.

'99 Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes.

My friends, we are now crossing the Great Bering Strait Bridge

between Alaska and Siberia.

Until Mr. Wilford built this bridge,

those two shores had not been connected since the last ice age.

So, as we roll atop the frozen ocean,

let us all raise a glass.

To Mr. Wilford.

- Cheers! - To Mr. Wilford.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Cheers.

Mr. Layton, your journey has been a fascinating one,

from stowaway to rebel leader, to…

the running of my train.

Yeah. All due respect,

it's not your train.

You're different.

The Freeze changed us all.

The Nightcar, too.

How?

I made her into something new.

It's still a playground,

but not so much for individual pleasure.

No pleasure at all?

Let me show you.

Every single person on this train is traumatized.

I try and help them find peace.

We can be frank with each other about what we lost.

I never lose anything.

No regrets at all, Joseph?

Everyone's grieving, save you?

I grieved losing you for seven years.

This experience requires you to open your heart.

Let me in.

Can you do that?

What is going on exactly?

Sticky little honeypot?

That's up to them, Ruth.

They got 40 minutes till the next act with the weather balloon.

Keep those ones happy.

G'day, love. More wine?

Holy shit. Are you Aussie?

Yeah, fair dinkum. I'm the last Aussie.

Nah, mate, I'm the last Aussie.

What? Really?

- Shit! Strewth, Z, she's from Oz. - No way!

- Hi! - Hi.

- Hi. I'm Murray. - Emilia.

Emilia. You're not from Sydney, are you?

- No, I'm from Perth. - You're from Perth?

She's a Western girl!

Anything else I can get you?

Hmm. So many things,

but I'll settle for another.

Boo!

I remember you. Lilah Junior.

It's LJ.

I remember you, too. You're Melanie's daughter.

You were such a dork.

You were such a bitch.

Accurate.

Come on.

I was supposed to be in the Laundry on Snowpiercer, but it left without us.

Is that what you do on Big Alice?

I'm not supposed to say.

You guys all right over there?

Yeah, we're all good.

Look, I might have a way to keep in touch.

Here.

What are they?

They're my lucky goggles.

You take them.

You wear 'em on your train, and someone will contact you.

Come on!

Best part about being a janitor is you get to go everywhere.

Wow!

I brought presents.

An Encyclopedia Britannica?

"W." Which has woolly mammoth.

Totally badass.

Totally extinct.

And…

Tell me what you see.

There's dancing.

I can hear a band playing.

Your voice in my ear.

Tell me what else you're experiencing.

I want it, Audrey.

No.

Please.

I need it.

I need you.

You're the only one.

You're the only one, Audrey.

I need it.

Oh, my God.

I want it.

That's a five-minute warning from the Engine.

Five-minute warning.

My parents froze to death,

with, like, 170 other people in the war.

So my mom's probably somewhere, like…

Do you miss her?

Literally everybody in the world froze to death, so…

Well, I just got around to even knowing my mom again,

and now she's off on a volt sled, so…

Guess she's somewhere freezing, doing this…

But Wilford, he raised you, though, right?

Yeah.

He would hate to hear me saying this,

but I just didn't know I was gonna care about Melanie this much.

Hmm.

Hey.

Way up there, that flashing light,

isn't that her balloon?

Yeah, it is.

Maybe she can see it, too.

We must be at the altitude for her uplink, I should probably go.

Let's not be friends.

Total enemies.

Right now.

- I don't even... - Excuse me. Thank you.

Where is Mr. Wilford?

It's about to start. He's going to miss it.

- Is Audrey okay? - She's fine. They're coming, I think.

Are you excited, Alexandra?

It's a big moment.

Wilford thinks she's dead already.

What do you think?

I think that if there's one person that could survive out there, maybe it's her.

That's right.

Oh, goody!

There you are, sir. I've got a seat for you, right up front.

Finally, the main event.

The countdown we've all been waiting for.

- Welcome back, sir. - Thanks, Layton.

Hello again, from the cockpit of Snowpiercer.

Please, take your own front seat to history.

Our weather balloon is at thirty-four thousand…

Seven hundred meters.

Once it hits 35,000,

Melanie should link to it and start collecting all of its weather data.

The first step in her finding where we can start recolonization.

Here we go.

We are at 34,800.

Eight-fifty.

Sorry.

Thirty-five thousand meters.

Thirty-five thousand, one hundred…

One-fifty…

Two hundred…

Two hundred and fifty…

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Yes, Melanie! Yes!

Salud!

What was that…

between you and Wilford?

I told you what could happen.

Should I be worried?

Trust me.

He's exactly where we want him.
