I'll never forget our first revolution.
The deafening silence of a frozen world.
No one said a word for what felt like weeks.
And in the quiet,
we faced the choices we had made.
Ah, Miss Wellstead.
So nice to finally meet in person.
It didn't matter that we'd saved so many.
We only focused on the ones we'd lost.
Split decisions with lasting consequences.
Hey.
Where's Josie?
The terms are simple.
Liana for Big Alice.
You stole a child.
You stole a child!
Hey! Get your hands off her.
Get off!
Alright. That's enough.
Go back to Layton.
- Deliver the message. - Screw you.
Let me talk to her.
Please.
You have one minute.
You can't take this deal to Layton.
They have Liana.
Listen, even if Milius comes through with his promise,
we'd be giving him both engines.
Is it worth it?
All I'm saying is with you and Layton leading the charge,
we actually have a shot at winning this train back.
God. I don't know, Ben.
Josie, the people on this train have suffered enough.
We need to fight back.
Time's up.
Wolf will escort you.
Tried to talk her out of it, huh?
It's a bit hypocritical, don't you think?
Given that Melanie spared you for the engine?
Yeah.
Look what that got us.
It took us a long time to figure out how to move through the world,
how to bottle our resentment,
make the tough calls.
But we did,
because someone always has to,
even when it was Snowpiercer.
1001 cars long.
*CREDITS*
Ben's right. We should fight.
Look. I'm with you in spirit, but the risk to Liana...
She's at risk whether we take the deal or not.
You haven't been here.
These people, they're inhuman.
Look, she's not even on the train.
- We should at least... - We don't even know if she's alive.
I need proof.
Copy.
How far out are we?
Oh, good. We're in range.
For what?
Your friend passed the message onto Layton.
Seems he has a few demands of his own.
I wouldn't expect anything less. You took his child.
Everyone has their weakness.
You think love is a weakness?
Most predictable one there is.
And you've obviously never felt it.
Of course, I have.
How do you think I learned that lesson?
There's movement.
I'm looking for Andre Layton.
Where's your backup?
You don't need backup when you have leverage.
You're something of a legend on this train.
The way people talk about you...
You inspire them.
My daughter for the engine. Why?
It wasn't personal.
The work we're doing is going to save the world.
Look. You can skip the recruitment speech. I'm not signing up.
We all got drafted when the cold came.
Zarah wasn't a soldier.
That was an unfortunate accident.
But don't you wanna see your daughter grow up in a world...?
Are you gonna give me what I want or not?
The woman on the other train, Ruth.
If you ask her to connect, will she do it?
Doesn't matter if you don't deliver.
Well, I know it may not mean much to you,
but I'm a man of my word.
Hello?
Hello, Doctor Headwood.
Is he there?
Everything's ready when you are.
Can you say papa?
Say papa.
Come on, Liana.
Say... papa.
Come on, baby.
Papa.
God, baby, baby, Liana.
Daddy is coming, don't be scare, hold on...
Dad is... Liana.
And?
They have her.
Then we'll get her back.
It's a big train.
They could still be searching,
- hiding... - Or they've been caught,
and we're headed right for a bushwhack.
Or that.
Should we back off?
No. We can't.
Not yet.
Ruth? Alex? Are you there?
Surprised to hear you on the official line, Andre.
- I'm with the admiral. - Hello again.
He says hi.
Admiral.
I need you to connect the trains.
And why would I do that?
They have Liana.
She's not on Snowpiercer, but I heard her voice.
And she's alright?
She's with Headwood.
They say they will give her back to us when we give them Big Alice.
If we connect, the only way to force a separation
- is... - Manual override. I remember.
- Andre. - Ruth.
I need to get her back. Okay?
We will figure out the rest later. I promise.
Ruth, please.
This is the whole reason that we're doing this, right?
To save Liana.
Yeah.
Yes, it is.
Do it.
Connecting Big Alice now.
Thank you, Ruth.
Alright, Alex. Nice and slow.
Watch you back, Ben.
Coupling system initiated.
These kids...
Are you done?
Just about. Big Alice?
Ceding system control.
They're locked in.
Don't worry, Layton.
This will all be over soon.
I was hoping for a happier reunion.
Likewise.
You know I had to take the deal, right?
No need to explain.
Believe me, I know.
What were you working on back there in the engine?
Just a bit of insurance.
We'll see if they catch it.
Whoa. What's back there?
This is where Mel's been working all these months.
You ever been in there?
Never.
Hello.
The admiral has instructed me to aid in your debarkation.
You'll be escorted into the silo and attended to one by one.
First up, Andre Layton.
Alright.
_
Please strip down, discard all belongings,
and await DECON procedure.
Discard all belongings
or they will be confiscated and burned.
Now step onto the platform
and await DECON procedure.
Oh, son of a bitch!
I wanna speak to the admiral.
Can you take me to him?
What happened at these floors?
They get breached?
Good talk.
Oh, why'd they bring all of you here?
We're on some list, apparently.
- Hey. - Hey
I wasn't sure you were gonna connect.
Almost didn't.
Now let's find Liana
- and find a way out of here, shall we? - Yeah.
Nice driving, engineer.
You know, I thought you came in a touch too rich.
You got any idea of the layout of this place?
Well, back when me and Mel were in touch,
she said it was designed to keep you confined, confused,
with no sense of time.
What's that about?
The train's connected to a power grid.
It can idle, but for 3 hours only, and then it's gone.
- And how long do we have? - 2 hours and 36 minutes.
2 hours and 36 minutes to find Liana and get the hell out of here?
We can do that.
Sure.
We can do it.
Was Josie with any of you?
She went in before me. She... she should be here.
- Good evening, everyone. - Where's Josie?
All your questions will be answered, but first...
But first, I wanna thank you for
everything you've done.
I know it hasn't been easy, but good work takes sacrifice.
As some of you know,
we've been down here for years
on a mission to warm the world.
Now that we have both engines,
that mission can finally be accomplished.
Does your mission include New Eden?
Because it won't survive without Big Alice.
That's precisely why we're doing this.
Relying on eternal engines and energy output...
It's hospice.
It's a last grasp at life support.
We're looking for a cure.
And where's Melanie? Why isn't she here to tell us this?
She's off base, collecting climate data.
- She'll be back soon. - Is that why we're all here?
Because Melanie requested it?
Not exactly.
This is the part you're not gonna like.
You're dead.
You're dead! No! You understand?
I'll kill you!
Give me back my daughter, Milius!
- You promised! - Take him to 12.
You promised!
Give me her back!
Fuck...
Welcome home.
Come now. Why the long faces?
What's all this about?
Well, Antoine here found me on the tracks.
Picked me up, after you'd all sent me out into the cold.
Except you, Alex. Not sure where you were in all that.
Enough of this shit.
- Were you done with Melanie? - Oh Come on, Ben.
We're on the same side now, even Melanie.
Where's Audrey? I wanted to get you all in one go!
Go to hell.
I did.
It wasn't much fun.
So it was you, Liana for the engine.
Classic Wilford.
It was the simplest solution.
- Zarah died. - Alright. That's enough.
- Yes. - You can all get reacquainted later.
Of course.
I look forward to collaborating with you all again.
Yeah. Antoine.
Joseph.
You're to sit tight until the trains have departed,
then you'll be processed for wristbands and shown to your new accommodations.
So we are to stay here?
Just until the mission's completed.
The next time you leave this place,
the entire world will be New Eden.
- So we're prisoners. - You're guests.
Oh, yeah?
Did your wolf take Layton to the spa?
Somewhere else to calm down.
So now that you've got us all tucked away in here,
what happens to our passengers?
They'll continue their work on the train.
We're almost there.
Just one last push.
Admiral, you are being played.
You can't trust Mr. Wilford, not for one second.
The look on their faces.
The way he lunged at me, like a wraith.
I said it would work, didn't I?
Oh, I... I do have one last bit of advice.
- Do you know? - Yes.
I wouldn't let Layton see his daughter just yet.
These people have a habit of rallying around him.
Let's keep them separated just in case, you know?
That's a good idea.
I'll take it under consideration. Thank you.
Oh, and about that, that last thing we discussed...
You have 2 hours.
Fine.
Make them count.
Just tell me where they took the others, will you?
You really can't feel that?
Your symptoms have progressed quite rapidly.
Partial ligament tear is very painful.
Has the desensitization spread to all of your extremities?
Thank you, doctor. I'll see to her.
You stay away from me.
Josie, you are making an assumption.
- You're a kidnapper! - No.
- A killer! - No, I was trying to help.
One more step and I'll snap her neck.
Josie!
Please.
Zarah's death was an error.
She fell. If only she'd listen to me.
I was trying to save Liana.
Josie!
That is why we came to the silo.
It's why I'm here.
Josie,
Liana needs your help.
She needs your help.
What's wrong with her?
No.
This is a right mess.
I never should have connected those trains.
We were just trying to help Layton.
What a fat lot of good it did.
Layton's dragged away, and Wilford's back from the dead.
We were completely blind sided.
Yeah.
It's probably why they cut us off months back.
No doubt when Melanie found out,
she was just as livid as we are now.
Well, who's to say she's even still involved?
Ben's been getting her blueprints.
They could be Wilford?s plans,
- not Melanie's. - No.
I'd know Mel's work. There'd be a glaring difference.
I can't believe she'd work with him again.
Whatever role Wilford's playing into this,
the mission still has merit.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Would you like to enlist?
Not saying I agree with their methods, Ruth.
I'm saying that this place,
the work that Melanie's doing here,
it could help us realize if our pocket is stable or no.
Oh, great. So we just sit back and relax and wait for the sun to return.
Or we figure out how to get the engine back
to the people we care about?
I'm gonna see Wilford.
- Hey, hold on. - I'm gonna hear what he has to say,
and I'm gonna try to orchestrate something from the outside.
- Alex, no. - I'll be fine.
He doesn't have a hold on me anymore.
- It's a bad idea. I don't like it. - He'll see me.
I have a request.
Here.
I thought you might want that back.
- What do you want with me? - Civility.
I'm trying to play nice here.
If you play nice too,
I'll let you see your daughter.
- Is she even here? - Yes.
You just have to be patient.
If you won't let me see Liana, at least take me to Josie.
She was injured in that little stunt you pulled
getting on the train, so she's being treated.
You can see her when she's done.
Yeah.
You might get a swing in, maybe two.
Not enough to escape,
but that's not really what you're after, is it?
All I want is my family.
And maybe a little vengeance on Wilford, too.
Am I right?
I'll tell you what.
You play nice when the mission's complete.
Maybe I'll let you take a shot at him.
These adjustments,
I'm still unconvinced
the train can withstand the rocket's blowback.
Oh, for God's sake, Nima...
This is your first time on Big Alice.
Take a load off.
It bears a welcoming.
Yes.
Thank you.
A feat of engineering.
Yeah.
- But the adjustment... - Yes, yes. I know.
You're never one for conversation, were you?
Big Alice can handle it.
All we need to do is modify the sub engine.
Conversions are already underway.
Since when were you an errand boy?
Surely, you have more important matters to attend to.
I had a little disagreement with the admiral.
I'm serving penance.
He's a bull.
He doesn't understand the finesse of what we doing.
Ah, Alex.
See you've made yourself at home.
Would you excuse us, Nima?
Nima? Family squabbles.
I'm sure you understand.
Done quite the remodel, I must say.
Threw them out.
Oh, that's cruel, even for you.
What are you doing here?
What's your end game?
I'm helping them save the world.
Dubs... It's me.
Okay? We both know that you don't care about the world.
We're doing something extraordinary on the train,
something even your mother never thought possible.
Aren't you the least bit curious about it?
I could show you the schematics, if you want, in your mother's lab.
You could check our work.
You always were my favorite protégé.
Or is there somewhere else you need to be?
Think fast.
I knew you wouldn't toss it.
It's alright, Sam. I've got it.
Departure in one hour.
Oh, no. No, no. Come along.
This way.
What is this, a magic trick?
Just a little shortcut.
See?
_
You really got this place wired, huh?
What happened to Josie? Was that you?
Oh, Alex. You were doing so well.
Pretending you'd forgotten about your friends.
What do you want with them anyway? Is this revenge for the track scaler?
- I'm past all that. - Are you?
Because you could have taken the engine without stealing Layton's kid.
Call me sentimental.
So you took Liana for yourself then?
But there's a certain symmetry to it, isn't there?
Don't you think?
Just I do enjoy a good twist of the knife.
Come on.
_
- She's not coming back. - Yeah. We don't know that.
We need another plan.
Yeah.
All I can think about is everyone back at New Eden.
What's it like?
75 and sunny.
No.
Still cold.
Hard living.
But it's ours.
Being outside again
and stepping onto solid ground
and looking up and seeing nothing but sky.
I just forgot what that was like.
Sounds nice.
Yeah.
It does.
You know what?
I think it's time to go.
My favourite thing...
about building Snowpiercer with Mel...
was right at the beginning, when she was just a hull.
Something visceral about it.
All the parts exposed.
- These insides gonna get us out of here? - Let's see.
Engineer!
Come on, on your feet.
This way.
Hey, don't move!
Get his wristband!
Let's get him out of here.
Liana...
Time check?
34 minutes.
Alright.
You know? We need to split off.
- What are you talking about? - We've no time left.
You two take Big Alice. I'll find Layton and the others.
No. We stick together.
Look, you need an engineer to drive, right?
And he's more likely to get to the top if you go with him.
No offense, but don't think...
I've come a long way since the Teals, Bess.
I can hold my own.
You two need to get that engine back to New Eden.
It's our best shot.
Everyone now relying on us.
What about Snowpiercer?
We save as many as we can.
Oh, Okay.
Oh, hold your own with this at least.
See you up top, Ruth.
Don't wait for me.
You two get to New Eden. Have a pint.
First one's on me.
Come on, Till. Let's go.
_
Melanie and I have been assigned separate workspaces
because, well, your mother likes to hold grudges.
So you guys are working together?
Oh, yes.
She can't help but jump at the chance to save the world,
even if it's with me.
It's weird not having to wonder all the time if she's dead or alive.
Used to be your favorite pastime.
What you did in New Eden,
rerouting Big Alice's power supply
to generate output for the whole town,
it's nothing short of magnificent.
We just popped the clutch like you taught me in Chicago.
It's a shame we have to scrap all that ingenuity.
Did Melanie know about your plan to steal Liana?
Was she a part of it?
You're still trying to figure her out, aren't you?
Dead end.
Let's find an elevator.
_
This is Mel's lab.
Maybe they lied to us.
Maybe she's fine there.
Or Alex could be.
Okay. Let's keep moving.
Let's go.
Oh, making a break for it, are we?
I didn't think you had it in you, Ben,
to do it on your own.
You've always been more of a follower.
Yes, Ben.
- Where is she? - She's not here.
We gotta go.
- I'm staying. - Alex.
There's a restricted stairwell at the end of the hall.
It's next to a busted firebox.
It's tunnel access can bypass intake
and go straight to the top.
Good luck.
Tell your mother I miss her.
We have to go. Let's go.
Moving up departure as a safety precaution.
Finish the supply transfer and pull the jetway.
Whatever's happening in the silo,
we need wheels up in 10 minutes.
Did you reach anyone on the other engine?
Wilford cleared them all out earlier, sir.
- Keep trying. - On it, sir.
- You're with me. - Yes, Sir.
We'll sweep the sub train and lock up big Alice.
We can't afford to lose her.
- Emergency departure initiated. - Shit.
- Are you with me, Till? - Yeah.
Leaving in ten minutes.
- We've got to find that firebox. - Sorry.
Here.
Emergency departure initiated.
Snowpiercer will be leaving in ten minutes.
Thank you, Alex.
_
Get Milius on the phone now.
We have it covered, sir.
Don't let her out of your sight.
Can you get me eyes on the jetway?
- You need to back off. - They're scuttling away as we speak!
You have no authority here.
That's my train!
Snowpiercer will be departing in eight minutes.
Go. Go. Go. Go.
Look back!
Keep it moving!
Let's go.
Ben, what's going on? They just moved up departure.
We're taking Big Alice.
Tristan, Ruth is still in there.
- I'll hold as long as I can. - Good man.
- This is a drill? - Mask on...
Snowpiercer will be departing in three minutes.
I need to know where I'm going.
Y'all gonna have to tell me where you're taking me right now.
- Get off me, man. - Get off.
Keep walking.
Snowpiercer will be departing in one minute.
Keep moving!
All the way to the back!
Let's hustle, everyone! Let's go!
Let's go! Come on! Hustle up!
Keep going. Keep going.
What do you need?
The admiral's coming, but we need more time to disconnect.
- Alright. We'll buy you some. - Okay.
Tailies with me.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Till, let's get out of here. Come on.
Let's move, go!
Open that hatch, goddammit.
Come on, let's move.
What's the problem?
There's something blocking the exit,
- we can't get up top. - Out of my way.
Yeah. That'll work.
Keep going. Get to the other hatches.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Hurry.
Right. We need to switch helms.
There's 3 buttons.
The first three buttons behind that monitor and the center console,
press them.
- Which switch? - The first three switches!
They'll turn green when you press them.
To the left!
One, two, three.
Okay. Got it.
Nice.
I left the back door open on Snowpiercer.
Let's see if it's still there.
Jetway will breach in ten,
nine, eight...
If I could just get another... A minute, please. A minute!
Let's go!
Tristan?
Tristan!
Snowpiercer now will depart.
You're a good man, Tristan, truly.
I learned from the best.
Got it. Thanks.
Yeah.
I don't know how much longer the tailies can hold them off.
Aye, just wish there was a way of Snowpiercer
not following us once we release.
Oh, shit.
They're pulling us.
Are we good to release?
- You ready? - Yeah. I'm ready.
_
Oh, shit.
What's happening?
It's not releasing.
They must have compromised the coupling system
while we were still captive,
or maybe it's part of the retrofit.
Does that mean we're stuck?
Ben, does that mean we're stuck?
Oh, my God.
So...
everyone in New Eden,
Audrey...
they're all gonna die.
They're just gonna die.
There might be a way.
From the Snowpiercer side.
The subtrain.
I can bypass the electrical controls with a manual override.
Look.
We need to get you
and Big Alice back to New Eden.
I'm not leaving you.
I'll be okay.
Besides, Mel's here,
so is Alex.
I'll be fine.
No, it's... There has to be another way.
I don't think there is.
Not going soft on me, are you?
- No. - Good.
Let's go.
Right. Miles can pilot us.
We blocked all the hatches in Third.
- Forced them back uptrain. - Good work.
I'm gonna pull a couple of levers.
Big Alice will be free and off to New Eden you'll go.
See what all the fuss is about.
I'll send you a postcard.
This is it! Yeah, hold on!
Come on, engineer!
Let's go.
Come on.
Let's try to settle them.
- Just hang on. - Ruth, you made it!
I couldn't find the others.
What's happening?
Oh, that's just Ben sabotaging Snowpiercer so they can't follow us.
Good. Good. And then we'll uncouple.
The coupling is jammed,
but Ben's gonna just pull the manual override.
But we don't have any butcher suits.
What do you mean?
The manual override, it's outside.
Oh, shit.
No, no, no!
Ben!
No! No, no!
No!
_
He did it!
No...
Let's go, Miles. Go on.
You're still here.
Nobody will tell me what happened.
Don't move.
Where's Liana? Where's Liana, is she okay?
Oh, I'm sorry, Josie.
There's nothing wrong with Liana.
Earlier today, you and I made a deal.
Your daughter, in exchange for Big Alice.
You didn't hold up your end of the bargain.
Lucky for you,
I'm a man of integrity.
I stick to my word
despite getting nothing in return.
You're from New Eden. Right?
Do you ever get nosebleeds?
What have you done to me?
It seems we have a lot to talk about.
I'm... I'm doctor Nima Rousseau. I'm an old friend of your mother.
