Snowpiercer

The main issue on the docket is the strain

on our already limited resources.

All this time, I thought we were safe.

Melanie surrenders the train.

We need Snowpiercer to help launch our compound.

We're on the verge of a breakthrough.

You have the train, Mr. Knox.

Edward takes Liana.

- It's a friend. - Give me my daughter.

No, no, no!

Layton, where are you going?

To find them.

I was a wild one growing up.

Sort of the leader of a group of girls in town.

Not exactly good girls, either.

We were always pinching sweets or magazines

from the corner shop.

One day, the shopkeeper had had enough

and he grabbed the youngest of us by the arm.

I told everyone to run, so they did, and we

met up in the back alley.

Are we safe?

We've added extra patrols. Yes.

- So Audrey's still alive? - Oh, yes.

Audrey's still fighting. Still fighting.

- Who took Liana? - We don't know yet.

Just give us a minute, will you?

Shopkeeper let her go before too long.

But I'll never forget the look in her eye

when she found us,

like we'd betrayed her.

Layton? Did you find anything?

Their shoes are gone.

What?

Her dead husband's shoes.

She keeps them here, but they're gone now.

That and all of her personal items from her couchette.

What does that tell you?

She didn't have time to pack?

Layton!

She didn't come up with this on the fly.

Those soldiers have been watching us for a while, waiting.

What? To kidnap a child?

Might have been Headwood's idea.

Part of a larger plan.

She's been obsessed with Liana since Zarah was pregnant.

But I just don't see how this helps us.

It doesn't. Just lets me know how to treat her when I find her.

Ruth!

Ruth.

We need to convene the council as soon as possible.

What's happened?

We're going to need the engine.

Alex, how long will it take to unhook

this thing from the grid and get it up and running again?

- Unhook what? - We're going after Snowpiercer.

It's my only lead to find Liana.

Whoa, Layton, I'm sorry about Liana. It's not that simple.

It took me months to convert the train and get New Eden running.

We cannot just press start and go.

For more reasons than one.

Snowpiercer can't be more than a week away.

I can find them. I just need the engine, and... and a few cars, and...

Can we just slow down and talk about this for a minute, please?

Every second we spend discussing it, Liana gets further away.

I think that Ruth is just looking to discuss options, Layton.

The only thing we need to be discussing

is how long it will take to get Big Alice up

and running again, Alex.

Do not answer that question, Alex.

Answer the question, Alex.

This engine is not going anywhere until we

discuss this as a council.

There's no unilateral decisions being made.

This is not the democracy you fought for.

Layton.

I never wanted anyone to look at me like that again.

But it may be the price I'll have

to pay for protecting this pocket

of humanity we call New Eden.

471 souls strong.

Move.

Wakey, wakey.

Time's up.

Are you taking my spot?

Come on.

Pick that up!

Come on, keep going!

All right, move!

Come on.

You listening to me?

Hey. Look after this for a sec.

They put you in a box?

They tortured you.

Worry about Audrey not me.

Audrey is a survivor.

We've got to keep the faith that she made it to New Eden.

Faith.

I've got news for you, Bennett.

No one from up high is coming to save us.

Look what the admiral's done.

Not to the train, to the people.

See, the problem is, while the man's crazy,

the mission's still sound.

New Eden proves that.

Even if it means turning the train into a labor camp?

You can't tell me that was part of Melanie's plan.

- No. - The guy lies.

He treats us like shit.

He plots who knows what against New Eden.

We have to take him down.

Okay. Okay.

Till.

Till.

Listen. Listen to me.

Let's at least find out what he's up to,

then we take him down.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

It's not rocket science.

I won't catch them without Big Alice.

Right, but attempting to steal the engine isn't the way.

- We have protocols. - There's protocols for kidnappings now?

Do you realize you're making a mockery of the whole system

- you just helped set up? - This is bullshit.

- Where is Roche so we can vote? - He's out on patrol.

Don't presume that he would ever vote for you anyway.

Guys, we're all friends here.

Can we just start acting like it, please?

Look, I don't pretend to know what you're going through, Andre.

Zarah was a friend, and Liana...

but we need Big Alice to survive.

Including Ag-Sec.

So it's true.

Layton's leaving?

- Not yet. - Nothing's been decided.

I hope not.

Because we can't heat Ag-Sec without the engine,

let alone the entire town.

That's not exactly true.

The engine does help power New Eden, but maybe...

There's no maybe.

Solar and wind are unreliable because the climate is unpredictable.

And geothermal doesn't charge the battery

arrays enough to offset Big Alice's production.

The bottom line is the engine is

our only constant, reliable power source.

Without it, New Eden will not survive.

That's it.

Look, I don't want to jeopardize New Eden.

This is my home, too.

But where does that leave me?

Dunno.

But the days of hijacking trains are over.

Okay, so I'm just supposed to wait

around until the kidnappers decide

to bring her back, right?

Y'all done lost your damn minds.

No one is saying that.

You.

Let's go.

Maybe after my shower.

Thank you.

I'll be back.

Save me some soap.

This was Lieutenant Jason Lee.

He was a loyal soldier.

If you're trying to scare me, you're about nine years too late.

And if you think I'd use the death of one of my men that way,

then you severely underestimate me.

I brought you here because I have an offer for you.

Cooperate, and I could reduce the workers'

shifts back down to 12 hours.

You make him the same offer?

Lieutenant Lee was electrocuted doing a job

he wasn't qualified to do.

But you are.

Down in Ag-Sec.

Ag-Sec?

What does Ag-Sec have to do with the retrofit?

Nothing. But Nima here joined us on

the last stop bearing gifts.

A new fertilizer he's been cooking up that

could help with our food supply issues.

So you work us to the bone, feed us scraps for months,

and now, you care?

Your people are dropping like flies.

This could help.

- Doc? - It's...

it's a potent synthetic compound.

Could double food production.

We just need you to reroute the electrical panels and redirect

ventilation for dispersal.

Which is how this happened?

Again, a task for an engineer, not a soldier.

So, what do you say?

You could be a hero, or watch a fellow passenger

wind up on the slab.

Your call.

10 hour shifts for the crew.

And I'll need another pair of hands to help out.
