Snowpiercer (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
Jinju: Adapt.
That's what humans do, isn't it?
Our great leg up.
We roll.
We hack.
Knuckle down and change.
♪♪
♪♪
Even Snowpiercer
is an adaptation.
That was classic Wilford.
♪♪
While the world froze
and the other mega-rich
tried to hole up in bunkers
or upload their consciousness,
Mr. Wilford
dusted off his train set.
♪♪
♪♪
Snowpiercer is His system.
Systems resist change,
even without their maker.
♪♪
I'm just a scientist.
I'm here to save the world,
not change it.
I know our chances of surviving
are slim at best.
All I can do about that
is provide small moments
of happiness on Snowpiercer,
1,001 cars long.

[ Door opens, closes ]
Hey.
I knew you'd be up.
No rest for the weary.
What's up?
I need you to take care of
yourself, Mel.
We can't afford
you getting sick.
There's mounting
supply-chain issues,
and now you're taking this
murder investigation
on your own?
I appreciate your concern.
I do.
Anything else?
Yes.
I want you to ask for help.
Help.
♪♪
[ Sighs ]
♪♪
Roche:
Layton, wake up.
We need you.
What happened?
You'll see.
♪♪
Thank you.
Thank you.
♪♪
So, have you thought of
a workaround
for the methane shortage?
Yep.
Goat farts.
[ Chuckles lightly ]
Very good.
MIT.
[ Chuckles ]
I knew it would pay off.
[ Telephone rings ]
Melanie Cavill.
Till: I'm not afraid
to be seen together.
Jinju:
You just don't want to
walk to work with me
in the morning?
Jinju, there's enough track talk
about me as it is.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey, you got to step up
for this, babe.
Isn't that what I just did?
Oh, you did, huh?
And I will.
I just...
Give me a minute.
Thirdies are weird about
dating uptrain.
What's the difference whether
it's uptrain or downtrain?
You're from Second.
You have the privilege of
seeing it that way.
[ Scoffs ]
Okay, baby, I know you're not
enticed by all this
'cause you're from Detroit...
[ Chuckles ]
Hey.
I'm from San Francisco.
Those places are gone,
but now it's up to us
to start over.
[ Telephone ringing ]
♪♪
[ Receiver beeps ]
Agricultural Officer.
Nikki Genet is dead.
♪♪
[ Henry sobbing ]
♪♪
I'm sorry.
I know how much
you cared for her.
Okay, stop now.
Stop it, Henry.
[ Sniffling ]
I'm gonna give you a chance
to make things right
with Mr. Wilford.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
I want you to go get a gurney
and some sheets.
Don't let anyone see her.
We need postmortem data.
Do you understand
what I'm asking you?
Yes.
Will you do that for me, Henry?
♪♪
Thank you.
[ Sniffling ]
♪♪
Where were you?
I gave you a description
of a First Class killer.
What did you do with it?
♪♪
I was waiting till morning.
First waits till morning.
She's dead... our killer gets
his bacon and eggs.
Shut up, Layton.
We all failed her.
♪♪
The border's closed.
I just came from Second.
It's been closed
since the fight.
The killer's from First.
If he followed you,
he left the fight early.
No time to get uptrain.
Then he's still in Third.
♪♪
[ Indistinct conversations ]
♪♪
How we doin'?
Switching to breakfast.
'Round and 'round she goes.
You want one last Railman's?
Nah.
Any word how long they're
keeping that damn border closed?
They'll close it all night
if they want.
That fight was a mess.
Where you from?
Second?
Yeah.
♪♪
[ Bottle thuds ]
♪♪
Hey, these are
First Class booze tokens.
♪♪
I mean... thanks.
♪♪
Alright, how many men
do you have uptrain?
We've got plenty.
Okay, send a sweep team uptrain
from the Tail.
Eyes up, son.
We've got it from here.
Mr. Layton doesn't really need
to see this, does he?
They don't even know
who they're chasing.
I need to go to First.
He doesn't set one foot
in First.
He does whatever
Mr. Wilford wants.
Yes?
Let's get every
First Class passenger
that was at the fight
out of bed.
That will not be popular.
Popular?
[ Scoffs ]
You people have
a serial killer...
Hey.
Tone it down, would you?
I need to know that
the search is underway,
and then you and I
will go to First.
You have to clear that
with Mr. Wilford,
or is that your call?
[ Indistinct conversations ]
♪♪
When you're ready,
I'll be talking to her.
Alright, my Brakemen
will work down from here.
We'll open every door.
We'll check every cupboard.
And meet my men in the middle
at Ag-Sec.
Start a sweep team uptrain
from the Tail, then.
From there,
we will review all...
♪♪
[ Door opens ]
What about the subtrain?
It's still closed to
nonessential personnel.
[ Snaps fingers ] Commander Grey:
I'll put another patrol down there anyway.
♪♪
He's not suspended?
We're shorthanded.
We need every man we've got.
- He was slinging Kroney.
- He's your partner.
Work it out now.
Work it out later.
Just do your freakin' job.
Go.
♪♪
♪♪
I'm sorry for your loss.
♪♪
If the killer's from First,
they'll only let you get so far,
and there won't be
any justice for Nikki.
♪♪
How's Third gonna take that?
Both victims are theirs.
Oh, that remains to be seen,
Detective.
♪♪
Now that I got a sense
of what you do here,
I thought you might
have a take on it.
You know people, high and low.
You know their secrets.
Strict confidentiality.
It's assured in the Nightcar.
I appreciate that.
Mm.
Melanie Cavill
ever have a session?
That would be confidential...
If the answer wasn't no.
She's never shown herself
like that.
♪♪
Maybe now she'll have to.
♪♪
Think Nikki's death could be
a catalyst?
Catalyst for what?
From what I hear,
a lot of workers in Third
are pretty fed up.
♪♪
You need to step carefully,
Detective.
But many of us do want change.
[ Knock on door ]
♪♪
We're waking First.
♪♪
Audrey, I promise I'll do
everything I can...
Cut the shit, Melanie.
You have my support, Detective.
♪♪
[ Footsteps depart ]
♪♪
I'm holding the subtrain.
Not a lot of downtrain faith
that the powers that be
actually want to
solve this thing
now that the suspect's
from First.
I want it solved.
And it doesn't matter which
Class the suspect is from.
Let's go.
[ Footsteps depart ]
♪♪
Lights: I've never seen
a blue chip before.
Could be First Class,
open heaps of doors.
Layton said, "It's only doors
between us."
You can't just
chip out of the Tail.
No, but someone could
chip out of Sanitation crew.
Ah, the break room.
There's that door
with the key pad.
They think we can't use it.
You've been stashing supplies
there, right?
Yeah.
Things we scrounge on shift.
Any clothes?
Yeah.
Okay, so, if we get someone
in the corridors, then what?
We make contact with Astrid.
Since she apprenticed out
in the first year,
guys, we've heard from her,
what, twice?
Astrid's still one of us.
She's got people here.
If she can find Layton, we can
set up communication with him.
♪♪
Give me the chip.
I'll try tonight.
[ Coughs violently ]
♪♪
John, you're a lion.
They don't see Tailie women
uptrain.
I've got a better chance
of blending in.

This is the only key
we've ever had.

[ Scoffs ]
You got to be kidding me.
Art belongs to First now?
These people broiled the Earth,
then they froze her,
and now they hang the spoils
on their walls.
Layton, I was a born on a dirt
farm in Eastern Pennsylvania.
I came from nothing.
I know a thing or two
about class.
That anger that you feel
when you look at all of this?
It's justified.
Let's use it.
Whoever the killer is,
First is going to
protect their own,
so you be their worst nightmare
from the Tail.

I'll do the rest.

[ Murmuring ]

Alright, two things first.
[ Music stops ] I don't
give a shit who you are,
and somebody up here
has got a thing
for chopping off
Third Class dicks.
[ Laughs ]
Now, look... Yeah, I'm looking.
Here's the thing.
[ Muffled ] Ruth.
I don't see everybody
who was at the fight.
This is everybody.
York: Melanie,
this is ridiculous.
No one from First Class has ever
been charged with a crime.
[ Murmuring ]
You should thank her for that.
She keeps the borders tight,
she keeps the rabble at bay,
and she keeps First Class
above the law.
But Mr. Wilford's doing things
differently this time.
[ Slurps ]
Isn't that right?
Yes.
Now...
[ Murmuring ]
where are the bodyguards?
♪♪
Alright, let me try this
a different way.
♪♪
How many arms
did you take in the Tail?
♪♪
14, if anyone's counting.
So, where are the bodyguards?
♪♪
I didn't invite the help.
♪♪
Erik didn't come home
last night.
♪♪
He didn't?
No.
He asked to
leave the fight early,
and when we came back,
he wasn't here.
You knew he was missing
and you didn't tell us?
Tell Roche Erik's a suspect.
He has his gun, too.
- LJ.
- LJ.
What?
I saw he had it with him
last night.
He has his gun?
There are no guns allowed
on the Snowpiercer.
Our security was allowed
to keep their sidearm.
The rest of us were disarmed
to keep you safe.
I'm gonna need to see
Erik's quarters.
This man is not
entering our carriage.
Bringing this man into First?
This is unprecedented.
[ Chuckles ]
On behalf of everyone here,
I demand to speak to
Mr. Wilford.
[ Murmuring ]
It's time, Melanie.

[ Clears throat ]

This is Bennett.
Melanie: I'm sorry. I need you
to put me through to him.
It's urgent.
Oh, hey,
are we doing this again?
Thank you. I'll wait.
Anything to put a smile
on your face.
Mr. Wilford.
Good news first...
We may have
identified the killer.
Is that for real?
Or is that part of the act?
Yeah, a bodyguard from First.
But the family's reluctant
to let your Detective in
to investigate,
and they would like a word.
Well, that would
piss me right off.
Huff, huff, huff.
The Folgers.
It's their man.
Yes, Lilah Folger, sir.
I know, but she's demanding it.
[ Murmuring ]
♪♪
Very good.

For the investigation,

Is he going to go through
all of our things?
Should we offer him a drink?
Layton:
No thanks, LJ.
He was 7th Marines.
Then he worked private security.
What else can you
tell me about him?
We hired him
when the Freeze started
to keep our family safe,
and he did.
[ Gasps ]
And he saved my life.
How'd he do that?
That's not pertinent, LJ.
Anybody seen this before?

Layton: Looks like Erik wasn't
born into the nice life he had up here.
Yeah, I don't think he had
a very good childhood.
You think he was capable of
something like this?
Maybe.
He sure wasted those rioters
who tried to grab me
on the way to Snowpiercer.

He joked about being
cold-blooded.

Erik did things.
