[screeching]

[Josie] It's easy to fight when you've never been hurt before.

Until it happens, you're invincible.

But with every fight, there's a risk.

And sometimes, you're sidelined.

The road to recovery is long.

Endless, when it's not clear if you can recover.

Some days I lose sight of who I am,

but I can't forget what my mission is.

[Icy Bob screaming]

[groaning]

-[Mr. Headwood] Easy. Easy, Bob. -[Mrs. Headwood] Higher.

[Icy Bob groans]

-[Mr. Headwood] Higher, higher. -[Mrs. Headwood] Okay, Bobbie.

[Icy Bob groaning]

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Watch it. Hey!

[knocks on door]

[Josie] I have to keep the hope alive,

that I can still make a difference.

If not,

then what was coming back from the dead for?

I count the days and pray to be whole again,

back with my people on Snowpiercer,

1,034 cars long.

[theme music playing]

["L'autre de moi" playing]

[sighs]

He hasn't stopped playing her since we got back from Snowpiercer.

[Emilia sighs] Snowpiercer…

That was the only best day of my life.

He has lost his mind. Do you see what he has us reading?

I know. Miss Audrey was so dazzling.

He's pining for her, his great love.

And you've been pining over the second-to-last Australian.

His name's Murray.

[gasps] Murray.

[chuckles]

[bell dings]

[Wilford chuckles]

Dear readers, lay down your tomes, and sharpen your bon mots for Book Club.

-[over speakers] Yes, you know… -[Emilia] Shit! I haven't finished.

[Alex] He killed his first wife, and the house burns down. Let's go.

[Zarah] Hey.

What happened with you and Wilford?

Do you wanna talk about it?

When I worked here, you saved me.

You knew how to save yourself.

Come on, it's me.

The little I do know about you and Wilford has me worried.

My eyes are wide open.

This is nothing like the last time.

I'll be fine.

[Zarah] Just be careful.

["L'autre de moi" continues playing]

-Dr. Headwood. -[Mr. Headwood chuckles]

[Wilford chuckles] Dr. Headwood. Emilia.

Damien, with a nice trim jib.

Alex. Come in, all of you.

Who wants to open with thoughts on our Rebecca?

[indistinct murmuring]

[Wilford] You? Yeah?

[man clears throat]

-You? Yeah? -[man mouthing indistinctly]

Don't put your hand up then.

I found her devotion…

-to her husband tragic. -[Mrs. Headwood] Oh, here we go.

-[Wilford] Mmm. -Her husband sucked, frankly.

-He "sucked"? -[scoffs]

This husband from one of the most enduring works in English literature.

Emilia, what about you? Uh, do you trust our narrator-heroine?

We know almost nothing about her, other than she's young and in love.

But we do get into her psyche, experience how jealous she is of Rebecca.

If she wasn't being honest, I don't think she would show us her ugly traits.

Yeah.

But that's ignoring how consumed she is by Rebecca.

If she doesn't trust herself, then why would we ever trust her?

[Wilford] Excellent point.

Emilia, your rebuttal?

She's a girl in love.

That can make you do crazy things and act outside of yourself.

I beg your pardon. Do continue with the salon.

[Mr. Headwood] Well, I, uh, I find the pair of them romantic.

Their love above all else. The--

No, absolutely not!

I find it quite depressing.

Our friend uptrain lit a lantern.

We're a go.

Good work, Sykes.

Now, send this invitation out to Audrey.

It's an invitation to Big Alice.

Oh! Well, lucky you.

A cordial invitation to dine together as we pass the Forbidden City.

Lhasa, Tibet. We traveled there years ago.

We're asking an awful lot of you.

-You good with this? -I understand.

We need to protect ourselves.

Only if you can protect yourself.

How do you know he won't lock the door, keep you there?

Joseph wouldn't hold me against my will. It's not his way.

And we need this, and I can do it.

At least find out what's going on over there.

-[Bennett] This is the comms panel. -[Javi] It's only got one screw.

On Big Alice, it's a red box attached to a wall in his back engine.

There was a flaw in the prototype, fixed in ours.

You switch these two wires,

we can hear everything he says.

He won't be able to tell if his comms are turned on or off.

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[Mr. Headwood] Hey, save some for me.

[Mrs. Headwood] Plenty where that came from.

It's been quite some time since we had a patient with this much tissue damage.

Will it heal?

[Sykes] Headwoods, a moment.

It's happening tonight.

[Mrs. Headwood] That wasn't what we agreed on.

-[door closes] -[gasping]

[breathing heavily]

[Icy Bob] You're having a panic attack. Relax.

Name five red things in the room.

What?

[Icy Bob] Name five red things in the room. Quick.

[gasping] Um…

Blood.

Tissue.

-Bucket. -[Icy Bob] Keep going.

[Josie gasping] Button.

Book.

Your… your red book.

The trick is just to externalize the pain.

Don't internalize it or it will paralyze you.

Thank you.

What's Wilford planning for tonight?

The Headwoods don't look too pleased.

Don't. They are not people you wanna cross.

[door opens]

We have to put you under for the debridement on your shoulder today.

We have to go deeper.

[Javi] Our weather balloon number 11 went up this morning.

[Ruth] Well, that's good news, Mr. De la Torre.

Let us know when we can announce contact with Melanie.

Her pings do wonders for morale.

Sorry.

Javi, you were saying…

[Javi] The data has been shared with Wilford as we agreed.

Results are safe with Melanie.

The science is safe, but we are not.

I need to know which cars are vulnerable to an outside attack.

There are indications that Wilford's Coldman might be up to something.

What indications?

[clears throat] Breach cars, anything with a port might be a weak point, yeah?

[Javi] Yeah. So, we have 16 breach exits,

all of which we can secure from outside entry.

If you're worried about attack, are we still opening the border for trade?

Yeah, trade will continue as usual.

Till, you and Roche stay here. I need a word.

I have a source over there.

All right. I think we can guess who that is.

So you're communicating through trade.

She all right?

[Layton] She's fine, for now.

She's onto something, which is why we have to keep the border open.

You're all worried about Wilford,

but we've got our own problems here, at home.

The Breachmen and the Tailies are at each other's throats.

It's been two weeks since Lights' fingers were chopped off.

And I still don't have a suspect, a legitimate suspect.

Look, Till, why don't you take a day?

Get some rest.

He's right. Take a day.

If Mr. Layton wants to keep Hospitality out of his machinations,

we'll have to keep him out of ours.

Some things are need-to-know, Ruth.

What things? Like Audrey is spying?

He doesn't think that's risky, putting them two back together?

People need to realize I wasn't born yesterday.

[lock beeps]

No, ma'am.

[speaking indistinctly]

Tristan, you are fired from the address service.

[sighs] Thank God.

Um… [whispers] Give it.

[sighs] Right, Zarah, let's see what you've got.

-Me? Now? -Mmm. Poise under pressure.

-[grunts] -You all right?

[vomits]

Morning sickness.

Why didn't you say so? You can't do announcements like that.

[bell dings]

Good morning, Snowpiercer.

Today, as we climb the Tibetan Plateau, the temperature outside is -118° C.

The wind is north-northwest at 30 to 40 knots.

Hospitality would like to remind you all to be mindful

of the change in elevation today.

[over speakers] For our window watchers, today, we will be passing Lhasa,

the famous Forbidden City of what was formerly Tibet.

[screams]

[gasps]

Did you hear that?

[hip-hop music playing]

[groans]

[groans]

[sighs] Mr. Pike.

[Pike] A simple invite would have worked.

Nothing, including you, moves through Third without my permission.

-If you ever… -[groans]

[Terence] …set foot up here again,

you'll be dead.

-[stapler clicks] -[screams]

-I hate that sound. -Yeah, I know.

It's when the staples turn in against the skull.

-[stapler clicks] -[screams]

[Layton] One more. Ready?

-[stapler clicks] -[screams]

[grunts] Layton!

My weed trade feeds the Tail, brother.

Is that not part of the reason you gave it to me?

-Yes, you know it is. -[groans]

It was LJ, the little psycho.

That kid scares me. She's your cultivation.

-[sighs] -[Layton clears throat]

What about Osweiller?

Forget about him. He's a lone wolf. It's Terence.

It's Terence, my brother. This can't stand.

It won't. Hey, I will handle this.

[Miss Audrey singing on record]

When do you and Sykes plan on telling me what you're cooking uptrain?

Patience, my dear.

What's coming will be a surprise to everybody.

Fitting for an intimate evening?

-You look fine. -"Fine"?

A young woman should have a firm aesthetic opinion,

if not an outright stance, shouldn't she?

[Alex] Your sexism is showing again, Dubs.

[chuckles]

How come you can invite Audrey over, and I can't go see Lilah Folger?

Because, my dear,

today is about Audrey.

[Miss Audrey] ♪ And fade out ♪

♪ Again ♪

♪ And fade out ♪

♪ Again ♪

You worried she'll take your place, hmm? [chuckles]

I'm worried you're going soft on me.

[scoffs]

Right this way, ma'am.

How does Audrey help us take Snowpiercer?

Well, that's where you watch the mystery unfold, Alexandra.

[Miss Audrey] ♪ Immerse your soul ♪

♪ In love ♪

-[electronic music playing] -[indistinct chatter]

[Layton] Kind of beneath you two, ain't it?

Well, at least you're together. I'll see myself up.

[objects clattering]

[Terence] We had an agreement.

I get it all.

I can do 60/40 for you.

The Tail needs that trade, Terence. It feeds them.

-You know I don't give a shit about that. -[Layton] I know.

It's got all the complaints against you over the years.

Robbery, drug dealing, extortion. We threw in some unsolved crimes.

Take the deal, Terence, or I lock you up.

I've been watching your trade back there,

and I noticed something.

That dirty little tyke, Winnie, running uptrain every time there's a shipment.

So it got me thinking,

who you got over there,

and what will Wilford do to a spy?

Careful, Terence.

I'm always careful.

Bye.

It's Josie?

Josie's how you're getting information back there?

Who else knows?

[smacks lips] A few Tailies, Roche, and Till. That's it.

But now Terence is holding it like a grenade to my head.

Hey, happy parents-to-be. I've been looking forward to this all day.

[Layton chuckles]

[sonogram pulsating]

[Pelton] Aha!

There's your baby.

-That little dot? -[chuckles]

[Pelton] Uh-huh.

Your child is roughly the size of a blueberry.

[Layton] Blueberry? Haven't had one of those in a while.

[Pelton] Oh, well, blueberries are tough without the bees.

But I hear the bees are bouncing back.

Ooh… Maybe in time for the due date.

[Pelton] Well, I'm gonna go get that printout for you.

[Layton chuckles]

If Terence is threatening to expose Josie, he's threatening us.

He needs to be dealt with, Andre.

I'm not in the Tail anymore, Zarah. I can't do that.

[Zarah] You could sanction it.

I know you have the person to do it.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Alex] About time.

This approach to the Forbidden City is looking pretty hairy.

[Miss Audrey] Looking forward to seeing it.

Wilford's not here.

[sighs] I'm glad.

We have a moment, just us women.

-[Alex] You wanted to speak to me? -Yes. Your mother and I are friends.

Well, her and Joseph are enemies, so what would that make you?

-Neutral, darling. -[scoffs]

He tortures us with your albums all day.

-Are all of those songs really about him? -Most of 'em.

[Alex] So you love him.

You love him. That's the deal.

What Joseph and I have is complicated, to say the least.

But I wouldn't be here if my connection to him

wasn't deeper than anything I've felt with anyone else.

-[Wilford] She's right. It's an abyss. -[sighs]

Audrey is one of the most intuitive people I've ever met.

-Welcome aboard, old friend. -[chuckles]

[Alex scoffs]

[Wilford] Something to add, Alex?

[sighs]

[Javi] Watching instruments ascend is like watching water boil.

You're not gonna make it go faster.

[Bennett] 36,000 meters and no uplink.

Come on, Melanie. Come on.

-Is it her end, or ours? -[Bennett] 39,500, no ping.

I have to level out before it's too late.

Ben, she's probably just having a telemetry issue.

She'll find it.

[Bennett] She'd never miss an uplink, unless something is wrong.

We better let the others know.

[all applauding]

[Ms. Gillies chuckling] Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

Okay, line up nice and straight. Thank you.

Since Melanie's departure,

the kids have been talking a lot about the planet's future.

So they created something to share their hope with the entire train.

Okay. All right. Time to drop it. Drop it. Hold it up.

[girl] Thank you, Melanie.

[all applauding]

[girl] We love you.

-We love you, Melanie. -[Ms. Gillies] Okay. That's enough.

Hmm, more reputation rehabilitation for Melanie Cavill.

Thank you, children.

Your lovely mural will hang all week where everyone can see it.

-[Ms. Gillies] Oh! -[all applauding]

[Bennett] Our launch data checks out, and our instruments are live.

But Melanie hasn't made contact.

Well, that could be anything, couldn't it?

The problem appears to be on her end.

[Bennett] We have to consider that something happened to her,

and that we might not hear from her again.

[sighs]

We've launched 11 probes so far.

So with a little luck, that's enough to build a climate model.

But Melanie…

[Ruth] I know that she's okay.

I can feel her out there every day.

[Javi] Well, we turn around for her tomorrow.

So we need to launch our last probe as scheduled.

-Wilford can't get wind of this. -Agreed.

We need to keep him on mission, going back to get Melanie.

And what should we tell the passengers?

They're expecting an announcement.

Melanie's the one thing keeping us all together.

She did it for seven years.

It still means something.

So then we lie.

A lie for hope.

[Osweiller] This new world order you fought for

isn't all it's cracked up to be, is it?

-It's a free-for-all. -You'd rather have Wilford?

[Osweiller] I'd rather sit back and see where the chips fall.

[Till] Mmm. I can't do that, Oz. Something about me.

[chuckles]

I kind of miss you, Bess. I do.

You hear anything even slightly solid about the Breachmen attacking that Tailie?

Solid? No.

I mean, they're good for it, the Wilfordites, organized.

So what? Could be anyone.

See you around, Till.

Compliments of those two assholes.

[Boscovic chuckles]

-To our Great Engineer. -Hear, hear.

-[Till] Boki… -Mmm-hmm?

To our Great Engineer.

[Pastor Logan] Hey. Listen, that only leads to trouble.

Yeah, I'm hoping.

Come with me. I've got something for you.

-You wanna spar? -[Pastor Logan] Yeah.

Okay. Not what I was expecting, Pastor.

Just met you in a bar. I go where I'm least expected.

[both grunting]

Is this all you got?

I beat a lot of boys at the Academy.

I don't wanna hurt you.

[Till grunting]

You hurt a lot of people in your past.

-[grunts] What? -[Pastor Logan] People hurt you.

You don't wanna feel pain, but it's unavoidable.

Suffering is a part of the human condition!

You can't get to joy, to relief, without hurting.

Sometimes yourself, sometimes others.

[panting]

[both grunting]

[both panting]

[Zarah] You all right?

[Ruth] I have Melanie on my mind.

Do you know walking you through Hospitality,

it has me remembering all sorts of things.

[Zarah] Do you need a moment?

No. Walk with me,

as I compose this announcement of false hope for the passengers in my head.

You know, I'm not naive, Zarah.

Never was, never will be.

I know that people in power lie.

Even I've done things in teal that I'm ashamed of.

[Zarah] Well, a white lie to lift the passengers' spirits

won't be one of them.

You're a leader on this train, Ruth.

Your choices make a difference.

You know, I need them to, Zarah.

I really do.

[Wilford] I remember us climbing the steps of the Drepung Monastery, right out there.

[Miss Audrey] It's so beautiful to see it again.

-So sad. -[Wilford] Yes, all gone.

Great cities, religions, whole schools of thought.

The world out there doesn't serve a purpose anymore.

Well then, thank goodness I'm with the man

who invented the one thing that continues to matter.

It's only worth it if you're back by my side, Audrey.

Then open an aperitif so I can linger.

I'm sure I can find something sweet.

[Miss Audrey chuckles]

[Wilford sighs]

[humming]

Shit.

It's so beautiful.

[chuckles]

Where were we?

[Bennett over phone] Big Alice, Big Alice, this is Snowpiercer.

Excuse me.

[Wilford over phone] Ben, is that your nasally voice?

[Bennett] I'm just confirming we launched balloon 11 today,

and, uh, Melanie linked up as usual.

[Wilford] Riveting stuff, Ben.

I guess that's why Climate Science never really found an audience.

[chuckles]

Hmm…

Shall we see what's for dessert?

I think you get it.

[Pike] Guess that's why I'm sitting here.

Doesn't really suit you, does it?

It was available.

No, I mean any of it.

Running the train.

There are some things I can't do myself.

The Tail wanted to hang me for cannibalism, and you vouched for me.

I know.

[Pike] And I made a vow,

never kill outside of combat again.

To be a…

To be a better man. To…

to have a better heart.

[Layton] You have.

[sighs]

Except when you ask me to do something like this.

If Terence is going to try and use Josie to blackmail me, she isn't safe.

We can't lose our source over there.

And she's our sister, Pike.

[breathes deeply]

Ain't no scribe writing Pike's story in the history of Snowpiercer.

Tailie stories live longer, brother.

[door closes]

-[Pastor Logan] You looked good in there. -[scoffs]

-[Pastor Logan] You should keep it up. -I might.

Hey, that stuff you said earlier,

about humans hurting ourselves and others,

do you believe it?

I do.

-Doesn't seem very Christ-like. -[chuckles]

You know the realities of this train better than anyone.

You've seen what people do to one another, to themselves.

And it's depressing.

To think that at the end of the world,

we can't just find a way to be good to one another.

I don't look at it that way.

This train has gone through a lot recently.

People want guidance, someone to look to.

And that's not Layton?

[scoffs] I know you're close to him,

but it hasn't been an easy road under his leadership.

You must feel it, too.

The change that's brewing.

A leader can only compromise himself so many times…

before he loses the faith of his flock.

We need to give him time.

[Pastor Logan] Possibly.

Or… he's the wrong shepherd.

Jeremiah 50:6.

"Our people have been lost sheep."

"Their shepherds have led them astray."

"Turning them away on the mountains."

"From mountain to hill they have gone."

"They have forgotten their fold."

What the hell is this?

I need this to be fair.

You come here to kill me, and you want it to be fair?

It's a Tail thing.

Osweiller!

[scoffs]

He's not here.

They all took a walk.

Wait a minute. Hold on.

Listen, Layton offered 60/40, right?

I can live with that.

And I won't say a thing about his girl over on Big Alice.

Please, Terence, I'm giving you this courtesy.

Just do this quickly and quietly, and no one comes running.

[grunts]

[both grunting]

-No! -I wanted you to do this with honor!

Wait! What are you… Wait!

Do this quietly!

[machine whirring]

[Terence choking]

[breath trembling]

[crying]

[Zarah] You did the right thing, Andre.

I'm proud of you.

[Layton] Yeah…

[bell dings]

[Ruth over speaker] Good evening, Snowpiercer.

Earlier today, high above us,

another of our weather balloons made contact with Engineer Cavill,

out there on her own,

a lone spark lighting the way forward.

[clippers vibrating]

[Ruth over speaker] On this train, none of us are strangers to despair,

so we should celebrate these victories when they come.

We must hold fast to our mission, our vision and ourselves.

So…

as we prepare to turn around and return to her,

let us all say a prayer for Engineer Cavill,

and our dreams of a life one day… beyond Snowpiercer.

-[bell dings] -[people cheering]

[exhales heavily]

All right. Down the hatch with these we go.

-How long does the procedure take? -[Mr. Headwood] Roughly an hour.

Oh, I gotta jot this down before I forget.

[groans]

-[sighs] -[Mr. Headwood] There we are.

Nighty-night.

[metal clanking]

[Mrs. Headwood] That Sykes, she only brings bad news these days.

[Mr. Headwood] I did not appreciate her visit today.

[Mrs. Headwood sighs]

[monitor beeping]

[Josie] Blood.

Tissue.

Bucket.

Stairs.

Lights.

[Mrs. Headwood] Wilford pushes and pushes.

[Mr. Headwood] He won't lose.

[grunts]

[Mr. Headwood] Did she move?

[Mrs. Headwood] I didn't notice.

[Josie] Blinds.

Button.

Blood. Blood. Blood.

[Mr. Headwood] It's starting tonight.

[Mrs. Headwood] Mmm, the Breachmen. He's using them so early.

[Mr. Headwood] It's a shame. We could lose some good subjects too soon.

[Mrs. Headwood] Uh-huh.

[breathing heavily]

[gasps]

I saw you ditch your meds.

You weren't knocked out during that procedure, were you?

Don't know what you're talking about.

[Icy Bob] Give them to me.

Are you gonna tell them?

[exhales heavily]

I hope you know what you're doing.

[breath trembling]

["House of the Rising Sun" playing]

[Wilford] Border's closing soon. You don't have to go.

Stay with me.

I'm not the same person anymore.

[Wilford] You are. You are the same person.

You're not hearing me.

I won't be broken by you.

And if we're gonna do this, you need to let me break you.

I don't think that's possible. Too much ice under the surface.

So if you won't let me in, and you can't change for the good of the train,

then… what am I doing here?

Audrey…

You know me better than anyone.

And you know Mr. Layton.

Who do you think will come out on top?

Joseph,

what are you planning?

[Wilford shushes] I want you by my side when I take her back.

Stay. Stay with me.

You won't admit it to yourself,

but you're only half alive without me.

It's the same for me.

Together we're electric,

-every nerve on fire… -[Miss Audrey gasps]

Stay with me, Audrey.

[Auss] This one's here, boss.

[wheels squeaking]

[Ruth] Clear the path. Thank you.

[Auss] Make way. Free trade coming through.

All right, out of the way. Tony, get your hands off it. Get away.

[Ruth] Well, that's almost all of it. Still no Audrey.

Call Roche, tell him to meet me at Muscle Breach.

Why? What's going on?

Just finish up trade, get Audrey back, close the door ASAP.

Hey! Step away from there, Boki!

[Boscovic] Get off of me! You crazy?

-Where are your friends? -Around.

Where are they? We know you're plotting for Wilford.

What the hell are you talking about?

["House of the Rising Sun" continues playing]

[gasp and chokes]

[Breachman 1 grunts]

[Breachman 2 grunts]

[Breachman 3 grunts]

[Breachman 4 grunts]

[Breachman 5 grunts]

[Breachman 6 grunts]

[Breachman groans]

[alarm blaring]

[Till] No, no, no.

-[Wilford] Ms. Wardell! -[Ruth] Audrey!

What on earth is going on over there?

I'm afraid I'm not quite sure, Mr. Wilford.

What have you done, Joseph?

The choice is still yours.

How about you, Ruth? I know you've been dying to visit.

Step over before the doors close.

I can't do that now, sir.

Audrey?

[inhales sharply]

[Ruth] Audrey? Audrey!

[Wilford] Good night, Ruth. I do hope everything is all right.
