You're the one Layton
told us about, aren't you?
Melanie Cavill.
What's your name?
Mr. Riggs: Don't remember her
caring about our names
when she ran the place.
No, sir.
Neither do I.

Melanie:
For your head.
You don't have to
forgive me.
Just take it.

Can I ask you
something?
Is it true
there's an ocean uptrain?
It's beautiful.
[ Chuckles ]
I thought I'd get to see it,
you know?
[ Buzzer ]
I thought I could create
a kinder, gentler world.
[ People murmuring ]
Do something.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Hey!
Hey, don't touch him!
But the train
demanded otherwise.
[ Gasps ]
The train demanded blood.
No. No. No.
Notary: Walter
"The Papermaker" Flemming,
you have been found guilty
of treason
and are hereby sentenced
to death by Lung of Ice.
Aah, no! Ohh!
I fed her.
And now they will.
[ Hisses ]
Until we reach
our final destination.
[ Whimpering ]
Everyone the same
in pain and doubt.

[ Indistinct conversations ]
Commander Grey: Collect all
the gas canisters right here.
How are the lines
holding?
All quiet
on the rebel front, sir.
They're on their heels.
Be ready to push.
Yes, sir.
♪♪
Jakes:
Our supporters tell us
the Jackboots are stacking up
at the front.
The whole army's
gathering.
Yeah, we should move now,
beat them to the punch.
No. We need to reinforce the
barricades, keep what we hold.
Dr. Pelton:
37 confirmed dead.
God knows
how many more uptrain.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Winnie?
I can't find my brother.
I looked everywhere.
Um...
He's, uh...
He's gone, honey.
[ Sighs ]
He's with your mother.
Come with me,
sweetheart.
Andre?
♪♪
♪♪
What's the holdup, Commander?
Why aren't we advancing?
[ Chuckles ]
Our plan is on track.
We go section by section.
Mr. de la Torre will access the
engine and override the doors,
seal an area,
and we'll flood it with gas.
Then my men enter
and mop up.
If the gas gets in
the ventilation system,
it could spread train-wide.
How do you avoid
gassing civilians?
We won't.
-Oh, dear God.
-Jesus Christ.
If they're sheltering rebels,
they leave us no choice.
We need a workforce.
Our lives depend on it.
We'll train more.
We're overpopulated
as it is.
Ruth: We should discuss
Melanie Cavill's execution.
It should be
a public dethroning.
You don't dethrone pirates.
You make them walk the plank.
The point is
that there are guidelines
for an orderly hand-over
of power.
Listen to you people.
The Tailie horde is at the gate.
Stamp them out.
Crush every last spark
of this mutiny now forever,
or there will be no train
to hand over.
♪♪
Bennett: Look at that.
Look at that.
You let her right in.
Unbelievable.
You little shit!
Do you have any idea
what you've done?
I freed the Tail.
You're not a soldier,
Miles.
You're a tragic child.
And this? This is trouble
you can't even fathom.
You know what?
[ Clattering ]
You, my friend,
you're gonna sit here.
You're gonna be quiet,
and you're not gonna move.
And if you touch anything, I
will cut you into little pieces
and put you in
the composting toilet.
Do you understand?
Do you understand?!
Oh, come on.
[ Grunts ]
Is that a radio?
Shut up!
Come on.
Be good to me.
It's a comms backup.
Short-range signal.
Goes tip to tail.
Why not use
the hard lines?
'Cause they'll be
listening in, kid.
If Melanie's out there,
she'll know to use this.
Mama Grande:
Santiago. Santiago.
My grandson, Santiago.
Have you seen him? No?
[ Speaking Spanish ]
-Layton. Nice to see.
-Mama Grande!
My grandson, Santiago,
did not come back.
Did you see him
in the battle?
Yes. Yes. He was in the Nightcar
on the front.
He's alive still, amigo.
I feel it.
♪♪
Pike: Layton?
Pike.
Layton! My man!
Oh, dude.
[ Laughs ]
Good to see you, brother.
You look good.
You're back.
Yeah.
Where's Strong Boy
and Z-Wreck?
Uh...can we talk
somewhere?
Things went to shit pretty fast,
didn't they?
You know, there's a whole new
group of lunatics running First.
You got the Folgers and then
that -- that GI Joe guy.
And Melanie -- Melanie's in line
to be executed today.
Good.
Have you seen the food
up there?
Layton, they got this cake.
And they use olive oil.
And the -- the --
the mouth feel is --
Why are you here, Pike?
Because I am proud of you,
brother.
I mean, you damn near
pulled this whole thing off.
Then grab a spear.
No, they're --
they're going scorched-earth.
Car by car.
Rebels, civilians,
they'll gas the lot of you.
They can't.
No, they can't.
They can't do it.
They -- They need people
to run the train.
You want to test that theory?
'Cause they're sure keen to.
Lay down your weapons.
They'll show mercy.
You really believe that?
The Tailies will go back
to the Tail.
The Thirdies
will go back to work.
What do you get?
Clean sheets.
F-Fresh food.
And the pleasure
of mopping up your mess,
because after you announce your
surrender, you'll be executed.
♪♪
You got one hour
to decide, Layton.
Pike: Your life
for all of theirs.
If you're half the man you claim
to be, you'll take that deal.
♪♪
It's not gonna end
with you.
Or with us.
Layton: Gas or surrender.
We risk losing everything
we fought for.
So there's no surrender.
Okay.
You need to speak
to Zarah.
[ Scoffs ]
This may be
your last chance.
Go see her.
Please.
So there's no way
to open this engine door.
Bennett will hold out
as long as he can.
He's loyal to Melanie.
You need to get control of
those systems, Mr. de la Torre.
Look, maybe Layton
will surrender.
Maybe we won't have to
use the gas at all.
And maybe I'll slaughter
every last one of them.
You can handle
this position?
I'll tap in downtrain,
override the master controls.
♪♪
[ Strong Boy speaking Mandarin ]
[ Sighs ]
They should have been here
hours ago.
And I'm stuck here
with a bunch of invalids!
We'll never be able
to fight!
I think he understands.
I think he can perceive
what's being said.

Ohh.

Your brain might be buggered,
but the warrior's still there,

Z-Wreck?
You ready to fight?
Never better.
Well,

Let's go.
And, Mr. Klimpt...
we're gonna need your trousers,
my friend.

Ruth: Bloody joking!
Ruthie.
Look at this, Nolan.
Audio files.
Old speeches and broadcasts,
all by Mr. Wilford.
That's how she did
the announcements.
Look, she's got his --
his manuals,
his journals,
his tools.
Claims that she saved us
from the man,
while all this time she's been
up here stewing in his juices.
Obsessed with him
is what she is -- obsessed.
Is she dead yet, Nolan?
'Cause I'll ice her
me bloody self.
What, you think I've lost
the plot, don't you?
[ Chuckles ]
Quite the opposite.
You know the soul
of this Train.
I have the army.
That's a potent
combination.
Well, what about
the Folgers?
Useful in a crisis.
They have influence in First.
But once order is restored,
natural power exerts itself.

I'll tell First and Second

Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
Why did you keep it so cold

It's complicated.
But the Engine Eternal
has unlimited output.
In duration,
not in density.
That is working.
At any given time, there's
only so much to go around.
So it's not
that complicated.
Haves and have-nots.
Listen, the fuel
might be eternal,
but these parts,
these things are not.
And someday, the whole lot of us
will die for want of a hex nut.

I know how to defeat
Grey's army.
Why would you do that?
Because Snowpiercer
won't survive
with him and the Folgers
in charge.
But I can't do it on my own,
and we have to act fast.
All the Jackboots
are gathered together.
If we disconnect a section
of the train,
we can wipe them out
in one go.
How does that work?
Bennett will orchestrate
from the engine,
but we need to release
manual safeties
from the separation points.
There's a fork
in the track ahead.
Bennett will adjust speed
so that we hit it
at the precise time,
releasing the cars
and sending the Jackboot army
into the freeze.
Till: If what you're saying
is even possible,
we'd be clearing your way
back to power.
I won't be in charge.
You will.
So, you're just gonna
give up control.
It was never
about power.
Is that what you keep

that peace in Third
