Snowpiercer (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

Attention, all passengers.

The temperature outside...

...is minus 121.9 degrees
Celsius.

As we approach Chicago,
mile zero of our cycle of life,

be prepared to brace.

We're all haunted
by our choices.

The personal choices we all made
when we boarded this train.

And the collective choices
that brought us to that day.

Choices made over decades,

even when we knew
climate change was real.

And finally my own choice
to pirate this ark



and lie to you all...

which has brought us
to where we are now.

May we all move forward
with greater awareness

of the choices that we make.

We are one train.

And today that train
chooses change.

I hereby relinquish governance
of Snowpiercer

to the rebel forces.

These are our revolutions,

994 cars long.

Citizens of Snowpiercer...

...my name is Andre Layton.

Bennett: Okay.
Let's get to work.

Alright, can you reset line 5,
4, and 3 for me, Javi?



Alright.

Wow. We took a beating.

No shit.

So, we've got
37 battery cars offline,

probably 12 hours
to recharge.

We're running low
on juice.

Before I lock myself up here
full time,

there's something
I need to go do.

Can I help?

No.

You already have.

It's just, um -

It's something I've put off
for a long time.

We paid a heavy price,
Miles.

Um...

the Last Aussie and the guys,
they're downtrain.

They want to see you.

Mama Grande's there, too.

We lost Josie,
didn't we?

Yeah, we did.

Hey.

She loved you, Miles.

Okay?
She loved me, too.

She was - She was all in
for all of us.

Hey, you know how a Tailie
marks a passing, right?

Together.

No one forgotten.

No one alone.

That's right.

She'd have been
so proud of you.

Layton: Alright, I know
conditions are not ideal,

but I'm gonna explain
some things right now.

Okay, listen up!
This is how this is going to go!

The Brakemen and the rebel army
will be in charge

until an elected council
can create a constitution

for a representative
government.

The rebel army is looting
and breaking into cabins!

Yes, there has been
some looting,

but we are in total control now,
okay?

And I promise
you all have my word

that there will be
no reprisals.

This war is over.
Now the work begins.

We need to get Snowpiercer
up and running.

Ag-Sec isn't here because
every single one of them's

back there guarding
our food supply.

-I know. I'm working -
-What do you expect

when you murder the security
forces who kept order?

They killed us with gas!
They executed prisoners!

The people need to see change,
not order, Ruth.

We're not taking any arms.

We're not putting people
in drawers.

We look to ourselves now.

Alright, now, you people, you
are the leaders of the Guilds.

Yes, you are
Department Heads.

You're Passenger
Representatives.

Our message to everyone
right now is very simple -

This train is yours now.

Tonight we pass
through Chicago...

...where all of this started.

Mark it with
your loved ones.

It's a brand-new revolution.

This is some bullshit.

You of all people,
you're supporting this?

You know,
this will be a lot easier

if Hospitality is paddling
in the same direction, Ruth.

Which direction is that?

Utopian twaddle will never
hold this train together.

What's going on here?

Uh, what is this?

How'd you get in,
Mr. Pike?

I procured a custom
First Class chip.

They're suddenly everywhere
these days.

LJ, this is, uh...

I don't know who these people
are, but this is Annie.

Mm. Annie.

And this is Terence,
King of the Janitors.

Oh, yeah!
How was that, huh?

Having a go in
a First Class bed, right?

Now, who's next here?

Okay.

-Hey.
-No.

You see anyone you like?

Maybe you can add a dick
to your collection.

Oh! Get out!

Please get out.

My family is dead,
and I need you to leave.

I need you to leave, please.
Please.

You should be more generous
to the resistance.

You are not
the resistance.

You sold them out.
He sold you all out!

Pike: This is all
my carriage now, okay?

You have no friends, LJ.

And these days, someone
with no friends is poor,

and that makes me rich!

Ugh!

What's the VHF
picking up?

Oh, I heard a blip of that
this morning.

It's from the train.

Music?
Where's it coming from?

Ag-Sec wireless or one of
the HAM sets downtrain?

Those guys
are still broadcasting?

I thought
they'd given up.

So weird.

Huh.

Shit.

What happened?

We just lost
the satellite feed.

Don't worry.

I'm on it.

Javier: We need it back
to locate the signal.

Oh.

You're finally
ready now.

You've been avoiding this
for a long time.

Now I know why.

Snowpiercer
was your idea.

I've done questionable things
to keep her going.

You tortured people.

You took their arms.

And sent 147 of the last souls
on Earth to death.

I have to
live with that.

You're here
because there's something

that you can't live with.

Listen.

Listen.

Listen.

Let the warm breeze
bring your memory...

...the scent
of your past...

dark earth...

wet rocks...

and tall grass.

Remember when life...

...was everywhere you looked,
everywhere you walked.

It cradled you,
fed you wonder,

made you who you are.

Now hear Snowpiercer.

Feel the track.

Metal on metal.

The flow of your
Engine Eternal...

...her veins bringing power to
everything that's still alive.

In your mind, a door opens
on another door opening.

You're stepping
into yourself...

stepping deeper.

You're going deeper...

until finally...

I've got your picture

That you gave to me

And it's signed with love

Just like it used to be

Alexandra.

The only thing different

The only thing new

I've got your...

What is it?

I've got the records

What is it?

That we used to share

My daughter.
My daughter.

And they still
sound the same

I sacrificed my daughter
for this train.

As when you were here

The only thing different
I put my work first.

The only thing new

Even at the end,
I didn't stop.

I didn't go to her,
so certain that they'd be there.

But then...

then the train was leaving,
and - and they weren't.

And...

I stayed with the train.

Go further.

If Alex was here...

The only thing different
...what would you want to say to her?

The only thing new

I've got these little things

I miss you.

She's got you

I miss you.

I've got your memory

I need you.
Or has it got me?

And...

I really don't know

Put your hand on my cheek.
But I know

It won't let me be

I've got your class ring

That proved you cared

I am so sorry.

And it still looks the same

As when you gave it, dear

I would give anything just to hold
you again. The only thing different

The only thing new

I'm sorry.
I've got these little things

I'm sorry.
She's got you

Ohh, ohh, ohh

I'm sorry.

Layton: She looks like a -

I don't know -
like a constellation.

You think it's a she?

I didn't think.
I just...said it. You?

Boy.

So that's how this
is gonna go, huh?

Yeah.

I guess so.

It's not about us
anymore.

We're not important.
It's about her now.

Yeah.

Or him.

So, how do we do this?

Zarah:
After everything.

After Josie.

We're never gonna be
the family we dreamed of.

But we'll find a way.

They raided Poultry,
damaged Aquaculture,

stole half a car
of lettuce.

They're taking
anything they want.

Now I have serious
supply-chain issues,

and you want the whole train
to have equal calories?

That's your
first priority.

We're down
16 trained men.

We're going on
48 hours no sleep.

Oh, thank you
for your efforts, Jinju.

Okay, this is where I go

and I let you two discuss
your supply-chain issues.

I just don't understand how you could
just keep such a big lie from me.

And the whole train.

Because this is
the alternative.

And if the people
needed a Wilford,

why deny them
that hope?

Come on, Till.

Would you really
rather be alone?

I'm not alone.

I've got my sisters and brothers
I stood with

and a responsibility
to Snowpiercer

I have never felt before.

So we finally agree.
The train comes first.

You know what they say when
you break up on Snowpiercer.

See you around.

So you've come
to abdicate.

You look ready.

Ready for what?
Anarchy?

Chaos in the corridors?

Frozen bodies
stacked up like sardines

because compost
can't keep up,

while you just swan off
to the Engine,

hide from everything
that you've wrought?

Oh, yeah, leave me here
with these...

people?

Andre Layton's
Council of Representatives?

It's a clean slate, Ruth.

It's never gonna work.

Democracy used to work.

Sometimes you have to lose
something to find it again.

You put 147 people
out there to die.

Many of them my friends.

Including Nolan Grey.

Well...

Survival doesn't need love,
does it?

That's what I got
so wrong.

There's nothing more important
than love.

I'll see you around,
Ruth.

We've already
said our goodbyes.

You triangulating it?
Javier: I'm trying.

Ben, the signal's reading
to the northwest.

Northwest?

Come on, Javi.
There's nothing out there.

Hey. I'm back.

That's a good look
on you.

Thank you very much.

Okay, so, we'll be passing
through Chicago at 19:30,

slowing her down as usual
to mark Mile Zero.

Mel, Mel.

Listen to this.

Music?

If that old radio
picked it up,

it's probably just something
from us.

Guys, listen to me.
It's coming from the northwest.

Outside.

Outside?

Jesus.

Survivors?

r's range
Jesusis what?

80 kilometers max?

Ben, what's out there?

Satellite link's down.
I'm working on it.

Javier: Damn it.
Directional antenna froze, too.

I can't get a second point
to triangulate.

Seriously?

I'm on it, Mel.
I'm on it.

But that signal
is still getting stronger,

and that means
we're getting closer.

If we don't slow down,

we're gonna be out of range
in no time.

I'm gonna get Layton
up here.

Mel, we don't need
to go through Layton.

Yes, Ben, we do.

It's a new train.

It's a new
chain of command.

Roche:
Excuse me. Mr. Layton?

I caught these two
trying to smuggle

a cart full of lettuce
uptrain.

The cart
was just there, boss.

Hey, look,
don't gimme that shit.

Where were you
taking it?

Pike's set up in First,
fencing stuff.

Pike.

A rogue Tailie.
Imagine that.

Yeah.

Bennett:
Andre Layton to the Engine.

Andre Layton to the Engine
immediately.

Now what?

I don't know.
Put them in lockup, okay?

The lockups
are full, sir.

Well, do something
and keep order until I get back.

Lettuce.

"Order."

Yeah, it's got a familiar ring
to it, doesn't it?

Alright, let's go,
bunny rabbits.

Let's go!

Survivors?
Is that even possible?

Maybe.

But it's been
six and a half years

since we've had
a radio contact.

Who could hold out like that?

Military?
A private bunker?

It's gotta be an old tower,
a loop, some sort of backup.

Layton:
Why haven't we heard it before?

Bennett: We never use the radio.
There's no one to talk to.

Where's our sat pic, Ben?
I'm working on it.

I can't pinpoint it, but the
signal keeps getting stronger.

-Ben?
-Come in.

This is Snowpiercer.
Do you copy?

-We need more time, Mel.
-We're running out of that.

Do you copy?
I repeat.

Let's slow further.
Let's try and get a visual.

Here's the call.

If we take speed off,
we'll be in deficit,

using more power
than we can generate.

We're already near
emergency reserves,

and we want to slow
to go through Chicago.

Now, on the other hand,

if we race past this signal
without pinpointing it,

it'll be a full revolution
before we can hear it again.

If there's a possibility
of other survivors,

that we're not alone,
we have to make contact.

Agreed.
Slowing the train.

Mm. Sorry.

Get off of me!

Ohh!

Stop! Oh!

Bloody hell!

Take a crack at the other one,
at least.

What?

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. Just...

I've lost everything,
and my whole world is gone.

And everyone hates me.

Don't worry.
Everyone hates me, too.

I know who you are.

Are we good?

Tailies threw me
out of First.

And no one
would help me.

And I don't even have anything
left to trade except...

Ooh.

That's not nothing.

Look.

I stole it
from the mess hall.

Well, how are we even
supposed to take the skin off?

You don't know
how to peel an egg?

Well, that's funny. Sorry.

Come on.
Let me show you.

Come on, love.
You're alright.

I'm a bad egg, too.

Signal's peaking. We should
be almost on top of it.

Should have visual
any second now.

Oh, my God.

Tristan:
Um, everybody, please...

Ruth! Ruth!

Th-There's another train
out there.

Eugenia: Ruth?
Wh-What's happening?

Are there other people alive?
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Ruth, are there people
alive out there?

Yes. There.

Look.

Oh, sweet Jimmeny.

Melanie: He's running
the supply train.

You don't know
it's Him, Mel.

Wait.
There's a supply train?

-It's Big Alice.
-Who?

Big Alice.
She's a prototype Engine.

-Melanie?
-I'm going to full speed.

-Give me everything we have.
-I will.

That spur connects, Mel.

Whoever it is, they're gonna
switch in behind us.

It's Him. Oh.

It's Him.

-Melanie, talk to me.
-He's gonna try and board us.

-You don't know it's Him, Mel.
-Who else, Ben?

Another merry band
of ark pirates?

-What are you talk-
-You mean Wilford?

-What?!
-Yes.

Mr. Wilford is back!

Ooh! Everybody just stay calm!
Yeah!

If Wilford does board us,
we're in for something far worse

than anything
we've just come through.

Then I'll get
a war party downtrain

and make sure
that doesn't happen.

Layton. When the passengers
realize it's Him,

they'll be divided.

I can keep us together.

You have to.

Ruth, stop. We just confirmed
that He was dead.

It's not possible.

Who else
could survive, eh?

Huh? Answer me that.

He's back to save us
from these bloody rebels.

Tristan, we're gonna need
a greeting party.

Greeting party?

Oh, no.
Is that not the protocol?

Oh, I can't remember.

Never mind.
We'll make do.

Okay,
you tidy yourself up.

We're going to The Tail.

Yes, ma'am.

Mel, we're pulling way too much
from the banks.

What's our distance?

Shit. She's gonna dock
with The Tail.

That's why they're
hitting the brakes.

Damn it.
What is He doing back?

Mel, you have to consider
the outcomes.

Alice is a big train.

40 cars is nothing
for her.

But she's low-torqued.
We can outrun Him.

The math says He'll
catch us. Then look again.

I need every amp
you can find, Javi,

from Ag-Sec,
from anywhere.

-Come on, Mel.
-Just try.

We have to try.

Nearly at the switch.

Wow.
It's coming in behind us.

Come on, guys. You're missing
out on world events here!

Alright, party's over.
Get out of here. Go.

Come on! Out!

Roche: Clear out!

-You. Sit down.
-Go. Get out of here. Go.

Come on!

-Okay.
-Don't you just love democracy?

You gotta participate
in a democracy, Pike.

Come on.
Now's your chance.

Is that who I think it is
behind us?

Yeah, well, if it is,
then all of this might be over

before it even starts,
so come on.

I need everybody united together
against a common enemy.

Layton, why do you got to always
ask me to be a better man?

Get him up.
Let's go.

God damn this train.

You know, I was just starting
to have some fun here.

We're coming too hard
to go into Chicago.

Reserves
are at emergency.

If we dry it out, it's over.
I'm pulling her back.

No!
That's an order!

He's right behind us!

Almost took off
the bloody Tail!

Layton:
Hey! Break it up!

Hey! Break it up!

Hey! Break it up!
It's an emergency!

Come on, Layton.
How can Wilford be back?

Whoever it is,
they are boarding us, okay?

Our Tail!
Now, I got 15 Brakemen.

-I need more soldiers.
-What are we waiting for?

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

Okay, everybody else,
you know the drill.

Barricades above and below!
Be ready to weld the doors.

On me. To The Tail.

Let's go!

Come on, girl.

Just keep your distance.

Come on.

Come on.

Remember that time
we hid his shoe?

Yeah, that was so fun,
yeah.

And the look on his face.

Wait, guys,
did you hear that?

Do that again.

Wait, wait.

Uh, Winnie,
be careful.

-Uh, what's happening?
-What's going on?

Whoa.
What was that?

-Are you guys okay?
-I'm scared.

Oh, my God.

Whoa!

Javier: Come on, guys.
They're trying to uplink.

They're hacking in.
He'll seize the system.

He'll seize the Engine.
He's slowing us down.

I'm taking non-critical systems
offline.

We gotta go outside.

Come on.
That's crazy.

Gotta cut the uplink.

Javi,
can you hold Him off?

-Not for long, Mel.
-Okay.

Then we better hurry.

You have the train.
Let's go.

You guys
fall back now, okay?

That won't take long.

These bunks,
back 'em up, alright?

We're gonna need space.

For Mr. Wilford,
our cry will be strong

...name is true

Cheer and rejoice,
for we honor you

Lift up your voice,
though the path may be long

Ruth.

Ruth!

...will never be wrong

Ruth, cut the crap!

I am here officially,
Mr. Roche.

Hospitality leads the welcoming
party, as per protocol.

We're in a military
situation here, Ruth.

You got to get these kids
out of here.

They are breaching
the goddamn train!

Whoa!
Okay, back up!

Back up!
Everybody back!

I'm a dignitary.

Yeah, I feel that.

Nolan Grey would have been here
in his full dress uniform.

And I would have been
right beside him

because my uniform
says peace.

Now, this may be your democratic
experiment, Mr. Layton,

but I am
Head of Hospitality.

And teal is the color
of diplomacy.

Weapons down.

Everybody,
put your weapons down.

Put them down.

You're right.

You're right.
Diplomacy first, right?

Nobody wants another war.

When that door opens,
I want you right by my side.

I need you there,
ready to parlay,

with a show of force
to back us up.

Agreed?

I want to be right up there,
in the front.

And I want to be the first one
to shake His hand.

Yes.
It has to be you.

Give him the gun, Ruth.

Okay. Alright, get these kids
somewhere safe.

Ruth,
come up front with me.

we pop the top, hook in, Okay. Alright,
get these kids make our way to The Tail.

Then we cut the uplink
by hand.

It's a haywire plan,
Mel.

Yeah, well,
you got a better one?

'Cause he's gonna peel off
our speed and freeze us out.

Then maybe
we have to stand down.

Come on.

Have you thought about
what's on that supply train?

Yeah, I have.

'Cause we need her, Mel.

Snowpiercer
is coming apart.

You know it.

There is no
perpetual motion

because there are
no perpetual parts.

But that supply train
is packed -

bogie motors, bovine cultures,
a full genetics lab.

Enough to keep us going.

How do you know
what's still there?

It's been
almost seven years.

How do you know
what's left?

Or what kind of society
they've made?

Or what kind of diseases
they carry?

And even if they have
everything that we need,

what'll He want in return?

You knew He was there.

I knew you would run.
How long did you know?

I saw them on the satellite
this morning,

but I knew it was Him
right away.

So you killed the feed.
Yeah.

You steered us
right into him!

We could have evaded!

And more importantly,

you and I could have
made that choice together!

You made
a unilateral move.

Here's mine.

What the hell, Mel?!

I will not put my faith
in Wilford again,

so I am going out there
to free the helm.

And one way or another...

you're gonna keep this ark going
when I'm gone.

Don't do this, Mel.
You let me go.

I'll see you on the other side.

Bennett:
Javi, she went out alone.

I couldn't stop her.

Vamos.

Aaaah!

Brakes.

Aah!

Aaah!

We're stopped.

How long have we got?

10 minutes,
give or take.

Snowpiercer, no matter who is
on the other side of that door,

remember this -

Wilford was only ever a man. A great man.

Do not build him up in your
minds into something He isn't.

He is not your Engineer.

This is not His train.

I think you'll find
that it is.

Snowpiercer is ours!

She belongs
to her citizens!

-Yeah!
-That's right!

Who are you?

We need to get
our train moving.

Greetings from Snowpiercer.
Is Mr. Wilford aboard?

Mr. Wilford has already seized
control of your engine.

You have about 13 minutes
to agree to a peaceful surrender

before the cold overcomes
and you all freeze to death.

Tell Him we need to see Him
face-to-face.

Please, yes, and that
we welcome him aboard.

-You're Hospitality?
-I am, yes.

My name's Ruth Wardle,
at your service.

Is Melanie Cavill alive?

Yes. Yes, she is.

Who are you?

My name is Alexandra Cavill.

Alexandra?

Where is my mother?
