The first 195 lines.
I thought I'd be used to death by now.
What's eight lives against the seven billion we lost in the Freeze?
But it's different this way.
This isn't the cold.
This is us.
People.
Wasting each other to violence.
And we can't stop.
It's our answer for everything.
We get lost in it.
I got lost in it.
But now…
all I want is for it to stop.
I want just one night where I close my eyes
and I'm not afraid of what's on the other side.
One night where I don't feel so alone…
on Snowpiercer, 1,034 cars long.
My son, the Lord is watching over us in times of despair.
- -
Wilford knew exactly how to hit us.
He has to have someone over here.
Someone who told him about the tensions.
People are gonna blame the Tail. I have to make this right.
We both do.
You prove it wasn't the Tail. I'll keep a lid on things while you do.
Big Alice border is on lockdown. I've got Brakemen in every link.
There's no trouble yet.
-It's just a matter of time. -Yeah. This is gonna boil.
Breachman Boscovic,
your loss is all of Snowpiercer's.
You know who did this?
I promise you it wasn't the Tail--
Please get away from them.
Now!
Go.
Leave this with me.
Here.
It's Saint Christopher.
For protection.
I'll keep an eye on him for you, I promise.
When he's finished, I'll take him to the Tea Room.
Thank you, Pastor.
Hey, you can't smear it like that. It's a snaking motion. Come on.
There's a lot more blood where that came from.
Hey.
Detective.
-What a caseload. -I could use your help.
The Tailies did it.
And even if they didn't, just pin it on them like you used to.
Give her a break. She had a rough night.
What do you need?
I found this over there, on the floor.
It's vintage Wilford. Old-style W.
Ever seen one before? Maybe up in First?
No.
You didn't even look at it.
Oh… Still no.
Forget it.
Hey, hey, hey.
I know someone who might be able to help.
Who?
This woman, Katya, has a couchette full of vintage stuff.
Wanna take me?
Okay.
She was standing right there with him, across the border.
I couldn't hear much, but it looked like he was offering her a choice.
She chose to stay?
That's what it looked like, but I cannot know her motives.
It was a risk sending Audrey over there.
Well, she was there on a mission for you, wasn't she?
Did she complete it?
No. We still don't have access to their comms.
So, maybe she just stayed behind to finish the job.
But either way, she's "Miss Audrey, Doyenne of the Nightcar."
She's one of us. Looks like a defection even if it isn't.
Big Alice, Big Alice. Good day from Snowpiercer.
Come in, Big Alice.
Big Alice, Snowpiercer calling. Come in.
-Pick up, Big Alice. -
I know you're listening, you psychotic old goat.
Hello, Ben. You sound needy.
We're going to be hitting the Himalaya Roundabout tonight.
Big event.
We're turning back for your brave chief, Melanie.
We wanna speak with Audrey.
Oh, look who's in my Engine again.
Audrey!
King Layton.
Collect.
She's been in the tub. Bit of a mood.
What was all that noise last night?
Alarms, sealed borders. Some kind of trouble?
Just a little domestic unrest.
But you wouldn't know anything about that, right?
One sec, gentlemen. Here she comes.
Fetching but grumpy.
-Hello, Layton, I'm here. - You missed curfew.
Well, uh, I've always been a bit of a rebel.
You all right?
He wants to know if I'm holding you against your will.
I'm fine.
We're ready to open the border for you if you want.
Not yet.
Are you sure?
Not good enough.
She's walking the line.
Or she's freshly shagged, bathing in rosewater.
We have to assume that she's been compromised.
Yeah, we do.
Have you heard anything about Snowpiercer?
Alarms went off all night. No one knows what's happening.
Wilford has locked himself in the Engine with Audrey,
and I have been shut out.
Has anyone been hurt?
I'm sure that your Aussie is fine.
Are they going to attack us?
- Should we be worried? -I'll find out what's happening.
Wait!
Sykes. Wait a minute.
What's going on? This was us, right?
If Wilford didn't tell you, then you're not supposed to know.
-Why not? -I don't know.
Take it up with him.
It's getting bad in Third.
They all think we killed the Breachmen.
We're safe back here. We can close our own doors.
What about the people uptrain?
-Lights and Winnie. -Yeah, right.
I see your English is coming back, Strong Boy.
You used the word "and."
Lights and Winnie set up in the Market this morning.
We're spread out all over, but our people need to be back here.
I'm sorry, but I have to get back to work.
-Hey, it's all good. We cool. - Okay.
Well, boys, what do you reckon?
We gotta go uptrain, get everyone, make sure they get back home safe.
Yeah. But not him.
He sticks out like a sore thumb.
Strong Boy can hold it down back here.
-And. -What about Pike?
- What is it with Pike, man? - You don't wanna know.
I think just you and me, mate.
Hey, we're gonna gather back in the Tail.
You.
We, uh…
We don't want any trouble.
You killed my friends!
-No! -Now, I kill you!
Don't let him back out.
We shouldn't have left the Pastor to watch over him in the first place.
Sam…
how worried are ya?
I'm always worried when you start using my first name.
What's on your mind?
When Audrey and Mr. Wilford turned back at the border last night,
he asked me to step over on to Big Alice.
Well, you're still here.
Didn't know what to do.
There was a time that I would have.
Now you're not so sure?
I serve Snowpiercer just like you.
We had order for seven years.
I know it was Melanie, but they were his rules.
Yes, we had order.
You wanna do that job again?
Taking arms? Running a gulag at the back of the train?
Come on.
-So, why is it all on you? -Layton has enough to deal with.
People are pointing fingers at Tailies. He should do something about it.
He is. He trusted me to get it done.
And I…
You wanna prove yourself.
Eight Breachmen, all murdered at the same time.
That's eight people willing to kill for Wilford.
Ah.
The invisible hand of Wilford.
It exists, believe me. He's got someone here pulling the strings.
- Hey. - Come. Come.
- Hey. - Good afternoon.
She don't speak English.
She want to know what you look for. Clothes? Hats?
You tell me.
She say button come from jacket.
What's with all this Wilford stuff anyway?
Grandmother know Mr. Wilford for long time.
She was neighbor in Sheffield.
Like a nephew, she says.
She take him to park, to chapel.
She say he love chapel.
He light red candle in glass window.
Is that what all these little red lanterns are about then?
Grandmother ask me to light each day
as vigil until Mr. Wilford return.
We give that to customer. They light it for him also.
All the buttons are here.
