Snowpiercer (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Our Answer for Everything - full transcript

Layton and Till investigate the murders. Wilford leads Miss Audrey down a dark path.

[breathing]

[disquieting music]



[indistinct shouting]

- I thought
I'd be used to death by now.

What's eight lives
against the seven billion

we lost in the Freeze?

[both grunt]

But it's different this way.

This isn't the Cold.

This is us.



- [grunts]

- People.
- [gasps]

- 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.



[door slams]

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.

[dramatic music]



[Boscovic sobbing]
- My son.

The Lord is watching over us
in times of despair.

Loss comes.

- 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.

[Logan speaking quietly]

- 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
on 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.

[unsettling music]



- Here. It's Saint Christopher.

For protection.

I'll keep an eye on him
for you.

I promise.

When he's finished here,
I'll take him to the Tea Room.

- Thank you, Pastor.



[indistinct chatter]

- 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.

- [chuckles]

- Hey.

- Detective.

Wow, what a caseload.

- Could use your help.

- The Tailies did it.

And even if they didn't,

just pin it on them
like you used to.

- Oi. 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.

You ever see one before?

Maybe up in First?

- No.

- You didn't even look at it.

- Oh. Still no.

[laughs]

- Forget it.

- [whispering]
Hey, hey! Hey!

[speaking normally]
I know someone

who might be able to help.

- Who?

- This woman, Katya.

She has a couchette
full of vintage stuff.

- Wanna take me?

- [sighs]
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.

- Well, either way,
she's Miss Audrey,

Doyenne of the Nightcar.

- She's one of us.

Looks like a defection
even if it isn't.

[melancholy piano music
playing on radio]



- ♪ Why does the sun...

[PA system chimes]

- Big Alice, Big Alice.

Good day from Snowpiercer.
Come in...

- ♪ Why does the sea
rush to shore? ♪

- Big Alice, Big Alice.
Snowpiercer calling. Come in.

- [chuckles]
- Pick up, Big Alice.

I know you're listening,
you psychotic old goat.

- [laughs]

[microphone squeals]

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 want to speak with Audrey.

- Ah, look who's
in my Engine again.

Audrey!

It's 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.

- [chuckles]

- 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.

- [sighs]

Not yet.

[unsettling music]

- 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.

[indistinct chatter]

- [whispering] Have you heard
anything about Snowpiercer?

The 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?

[door clatters]

Alex. Should we be worried?

- I'm gonna find out
what's happening.

- Wait!

- Sykes.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

This was us, right?

[tense music]

- If Wilford didn't tell you,

then you're not
supposed to know.

- Why not?

- I don't know.

Take it up with him.



[loud rock music
playing over headphones]



- It's getting bad in Third.

- They all think
we killed the Breachman.

- Yeah, well,
we're safe back here.

We can close our own doors.

- What about
all our people uptrain?

- Lights and Winnie.

- Yeah, right.

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.

- It's all good. We cool.
- Okay.

- Well, boys, what you reckon?

- Well, we've gotta go uptrain
and 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?

- Ah, you don't wanna know.

I think just you and me, mate.

[water bubbling]



[indistinct chatter]

Hey, we're gonna gather
back in the Tail.



- You.

- We, uh...

we don't want any trouble.

- You killed my friends!

And now, I kill you!

[onlookers shouting]

[Boscovic grunting]

[apprehensive music]



- 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 you?

- 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
onto Big Alice.

- Hey, 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,
weren't they?

- Yes, we had order.

You want to do that job again?

Taking arms?

Running a gulag
at the back of the train?

- [sighs]

Come on.

- So why's it all on you?

- Oh, Layton has enough
to deal with.

- All these people
pointing fingers at Tailies,

you'd think he'd want
to do something about it.

- He is.

Trusting me to, uh,
you know, get it done.

And I...

- You want to prove yourself.

- Eight Breachmen, all murdered
at the same time.

That's eight people
willing to kill for Wilford.

- Ah.

Ah, the invisible hand
of Wilford.

- Oh, it exists, believe me.

He's got someone here
pulling the strings.

[knock at door]

[unsettling music]

- Eh, hey, come, come.

- Hey.
- Good afternoon.

- Uh--she don't speak English.

[speaking Russian]

- [speaks Russian]

- Sh--she want to know
what you look for.

Clothes? Hat?

- You tell me.

[Elan speaking Russian]

- [speaks Russian]

- 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.

- Oh, 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 them to customer.

They light it for him also.



- All the buttons are here.

Is this part of a set?

[Elan speaks Russian]

- Da.

[speaking Russian]

- Ah, yes, sister jacket.

Grandmother trade last week.

For fur hat.

- Do you remember
who she traded with?

- Oh, beautiful woman.

Fancy like First Class.

Very tall.



[PA system chimes]

- Citizens of Snowpiercer.

Today, we are all in mourning
for our Breachmen.

We are afraid...

because there are those
among us who want us to be.

This violence was orchestrated
to divide us.

To compromise us...
- It was the Tail!

- By taking out our best.

We can't start turning
on each other.

That's exactly
what they want to happen.

Whoever did
this terrible crime

wants you to believe that
it was the weakest among us.

- Bullshit!

Layton was a Tailie!

[crowd clamoring]

- The real enemy is back there
on Big Alice,

lying in wait.

Some of your neighbors
support his return,

but we cast away Wilford Law
once already.

And I will remind you
of the call that unites us.

[dramatic music]

We are one train.

Snowpiercer.

- This is not
what we fought for.

[crowd shouting agreement]

[crowd chanting "Wilford"]



[PA system chimes]

- I'm not sure
they'll take that

the way you want them to.

- I had to defend the Tail.

They don't have a voice
right now.

- Bringing Mr. Wilford into it,

you're asking them
to pick sides.

- He had to do something.

[tense music]

- Well, then,
by all means, carry on.

- She might be right, you know.

We both know
this is just the beginning.

- I stayed.

Isn't that what you wanted?

- I want you with me, Audrey.

Really with me.

I can't do it alone.

- Well, then trust me
like I'm trusting you.

I think I should know
what I've gotten myself into.

- You want all our cards
on the table?

- Yes.

- I found this screwdriver
in your things

while you were taking a bath.

You want to tell me
what it's for?

- I think you know
what it's for.

- Swap the comm lines

so Snowpiercer can listen in
on my Engine?

Did you do it?

- No.

- Did you stay here

so you could complete
your little mission?

- No.

I stayed...

because I feel a pull.

Right here.

But after everything
you've done to me...

I don't understand it.

But I'm still here.

- [grunts]
- [gasps]

- I don't believe you.

Get dressed.

There's someone
I want you to meet.



- Where are we going?
- Oh, you'll see.

You're going to have
to prove yourself,

like everyone else.

[person sobbing]

- Joseph, what's going on?

- You see, this poor,
poor member of my crew

has gone all to pieces.

He needs your help.



- No. No!

No, no! Leave me alone!

Leave me alone! No!
Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!
Leave me alone!

[grunts]
No!

Please, no!

[sobbing]

- This is Kevin.

- No!
- I need you to fix him.

- [yells]



- Layton's revolution
was supposed to be

for all of us!
- To hell with him!

Once a Tailie, always a Tailie!

- This is Wilford's train!

Always was, always will be.

[crowd shouting]

- Let's get some Tailies!
Come on!

- Oh, man,
Layton's in for it now.

[indistinct shouting]

[loud rock music
playing over headphones]



- Pike? You good?

- Layton.

My man.
[chuckles]

I'm good.

- You sure?

'Cause you don't, uh...

you don't look so good.

- Thing with Terence didn't
quite go as planned, but...

I take comfort in knowing
that you now owe me.

- Yeah, hey.
I got your back.

Now, um, why don't you
head back to the Tail, okay?

It's dangerous out here.
- Nah.

I'm good.

- You're a target.

- Nobody recognizes me
like this, Layton.

- Really?

[unsettling music]

- I-I checked the ledger.

I did the figures.

And I have proven...

that the scale is actually

now a little more
in Pike's favor.

I counted your debt.

You are now marked.



- Look--

Oh, hey, hey.
It's this way. This way.

Lay low.

- Is he okay?

- Uh, I think I messed him up.

- Come on.
You can turn this around.

- Ah. There you are.

- Where were you?

- Audrey's helping me
with something.

- With what?

- Ah...little project.

You'll see.

- You're shutting me out again.

- I wonder why that is.

- 'Cause instead
of taking Snowpiercer

like you promised,
you would rather

just mess around
with your whore.

- Oh.

I do love your nerve, Alex.

But you don't want
to make this...personal.

- You used
to tell me everything.

- And you used
to appreciate everything

I've done for you.

But then you let Melanie in.

Took her into the barracks
in secret.

Yes, I knew about that.

I expect you had
some lovely hugs.

- I shouldn't have to choose
between you and Melanie.

- Oh, but you do.
You do have to choose.

You spend one week with her...

And you forget
that I saved you.

You should be thanking me
every day

for rescuing you from the Cold.

Every day you breathe
on this Earth

is a day I gave you.

So if you want to be part
of my plans...

You're gonna have
to remind me...

Why I brought you along.

[chuckles]

- Shh...

- [sobbing]

- It's okay.

There's no reason
to be ashamed.

I can help you.

Kevin.

Kevin!

[apprehensive music]



- I just keep seeing him
in the bathtub.

- He took you to the bath?

He must really like you.

- No...

- I understand his...

his affection can be confusing
at first.

But don't you want
to be rid of this pain?

Can I see?

It's healing nicely.

- It was horrible.

- I know.

I know.
But you're almost there.

Look.

Look.

- Oh, my God.

- We both
made the same choice.

Out of love for him.

- No, no...

- He saved you.
- No!

No, he broke me.

- No, he saved you.
- No!

- He saved you.

You're just afraid.

No one's ever
loved you like him.

No one else would.

You want to be his again,
don't you?

You were nothing until Wilford.

He gave you everything.
- No.

Please help. No!
- Just--

shut up!
- Stop!

- Shut up!

- [groans]

[wailing]

- You're gonna
have to go deeper, Kevin.

Deeper and darker.

This is what I do.

I help people reconnect
with what they've lost.

- Oh--oh, God.

- I need you to let go.

I need you to calm down.

Just give in.



[indistinct conversation]

[unsettling music]



- Well, what's all this?

- I found something.

Near one of the murders.

Look familiar?

It's vintage Wilford.
Rare piece.

- I've never seen it before.

- Oh, yeah?

Took the liberty of going
through your things.

I hope you don't mind.

- Well, it must have
fallen off somewhere.

- Yeah, I don't think so.

Cherry the Breachwoman
was strong.

Come here.



She fought back, didn't she?

You killed her for Wilford.

So who's over here
calling the shots?

Is it you?

- Oh, you're in so deep...
Detective.

You can't even see
what's in front of you.

You think you're so smart,

but you're always
two steps behind.

This train needs change.

A new shepherd.

And the revolution is starting.

Right now.

- Take her away.
- Let's go.

Buckle up, sweetheart.

[dramatic music]

[crowd shouting]

- Quick! In here!



[person screaming]

- There's trouble
in the Market too.

It's gonna be the whole train
soon enough.

- Ruth...

We have to move!

- Where do you think
you're going?!

- Quick. In here.

Come on.
Come on, come on, come on!

[pounding on door]

- Just Hospitality.
- Let's go.

[tense music]

- What's going on here?

- We're trapped. Same as you.

- Zarah, call Tristan.

Tell him
we're gonna need an escort.

Right.

Let's see who we have here,
then, shall we?

Ah!
- [screams]

- What's the matter?

- What's wrong?

Lights?

- Winnie remembers her
from the Tail.

- I was hardly ever
in the Tail.

- You tried to take her arm.

It wasn't that long ago.

You took her mother's arm
instead.

Remember?

- Suzanne?

- Yeah. She died.

Of complications
from the de-arming.



- I don't know what to say.

- Where's her brother?

- He died fighting
in the revolution.

I'm all she has left.

[mob shouting]

[suspenseful music]



[knocking at door]
- Ruth?

- Tristan? Tristan!
- Ruth?

- Ruth!

- Oh! Have you got the escort?
- No.

Uh, there's a bit
of a situation.

Targeted violence
against Tailies.

Outbreaks popping up
all over the place.

Tailies aren't safe out here.

- It's all right,
it's all right.

Stay calm.
Just give me a second.

Where's that little girl?

- Winnie?
- My God.

- She must have slipped out.
- Lights--

- Gotta find her!
- No, no, no, no!

You can't go out there.
No. No. I'll go. I'll go.

Zarah, you're in charge.

Don't you let anyone
through this door.

- Okay.

- Little Winnie, dude,
what are you doing here?

It's dangerous.
- [screams]

- What? What is it?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

- That one's a Tailie!

I know him!
- Oh, hey.

- Grab him!
- What do you want?

No, no, no, no. Hey. Get back!

[mob shouting]
[Pike groans]

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

No! I don't wanna die!

Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

Let go of me!

[growls]
- Let's go!

- No! Let me go!

- Shut up!
[Pike groans]

- I don't wanna shut up!



[serene music]



- Slow down.

- "Their shepherds
have led them astray."

He quoted it to me yesterday.

I'm such an idiot.

First Class bitch was even
wearing Saint Christopher.

- Look, just--just give it

to me one more time.
- Okay.

I saw Pastor Logan give Boki

that same medallion
this morning.

Exactly like the one
he gave me.

- You think he let Boki out
on purpose?

- On your left.

- Hold on. What's going on?

- Organized Wilford mobs
keep popping up.

There are riots
all over the place.

They've even taken
a Tailie hostage downtrain.

- Go, go! I got this.

I can handle it on my own.

[tense music]

- Good luck.

- Winnie?

[distant shouting]

Winnie?

- [crying]

- Be strong, Winnipeg.

I love you.

- Winnie?

Winnie!

Ah, there you are!

I've been looking
all over the train for you!

How'd you get
all the way up here?

Look, you don't have
to be scared of me, Winnie.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

You have to come with me
so I can take you back--

To take you back
to your friends.

Your mum...

[crying stops]

I'm sorry about your mum.

Do you know I lost my mum too
when I was little.

It was cruel what I did,
taking her away from you.

I thought that
I was doing the right thing.

I was following the rules.

But that wasn't right, was it?

It was wrong.

It was very, very wrong.

I wish I could
take it back, Winnie.

I wish that I could.

- I...

I'm hiding from the bad men.

- [whispering]
I know.

You're very clever.

I can keep you safe from them

if you come with me.

Will you come with me?

[suspenseful music]



Come on, sweetheart.

Come on.

[unsettling music]



- Knowing you would do
anything for him

is the most wonderful feeling
in the world.

That loyalty...

that loyalty, it's relief.

It's a love
very few people understand.



He's the only one who ever
understood you.

You were no one until Wilford.

You owe him everything.

- I owe him everything.

- "Thank you, Mr. Wilford."

- Thank you, Mr. Wilford.

- All right, Kevin.

Stand up now.

[steady soul music]

[song ends]

- No! No!

[groans]
No!

[mob shouting]
[Pike grunting]

No! Ah! No!

No! Not my arm!
- Shut it!

- You don't have to do this.

Hey. We can make a deal.
- Shut him up!

[Pike grunts]

- They're back.

[Ruth panting]

- There you go.

- Thank you.
- Andre!

Where are you going?
What's going on?

- Ah, they've got
one of us downtrain.

- A Tailie?
- Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

- I'm coming with you.
- [groans]

- Please, can I just
come with you?

- All right. Let's go.

[apprehensive music]



[indistinct speech]

[slow violin music
playing on record player]

- Bess!

Have a seat.

- Who were you talking to?

- Who else?

- You were praying.

- Of course.

Times like these are when
I need his guidance the most.

- What happened with Boki
this morning?

After I left?



- I...gave him some space.

To grieve.

Something wrong?

- Is it all an act?

- What do you mean?

- The teacup.

The spirituality.

It's all bullshit, right?

You're the one working
for Wilford.

[teakettle whistling]

Leave it.
- Bess.

- Don't lie to me.

- I never lied to you.

You just weren't ready
to listen.

- Were you just using me
all this time?

- That rage inside of you,
I feel it too.

- You don't know me.

- You were so desperate
for something to hold onto.

Something to believe in.

I wanted to help you.

- You killed eight people.

- A small price to pay
for peace.

Don't you think?

[mob shouting]

[Pike groans]
- No! No!

No!
- Let him go!

Let him go!
- We are done listening to you!

- Wait--Jakes.

Jakes, I know you.
Why are you doing this?

We--we fought together!
- That was a mistake.

- Never should've let you
out of the Tail.

- Traitors! Traitors!
- Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, stop it! Stop it!

You wanna punish somebody,
take my arm.

[shouting stops]

Take my arm. Let Pike go.

- Hey, he's crazy, man.
- No. No way, man.

- No, no. No!
- Hey! Hey!

I am the one you want, right?

I'm the one you hate.
- Andre...

- I took everything
that you had,

and I gave it to my friends,
right?

So take me. Here. Arm me.

Come on.

[mob shouting]

- No! No! Hey!

No!

- No, no...

No! Wait!

[dramatic music]



Stop it! Stop!

This is barbaric!

This man is your leader!

You chose him!

You want someone else
in charge,

then call for change.

But don't strip him down
and mutilate him

just because you can.

It's not right.

Believe me, I know.
I've done it.

You'll never be the same again
once you have.

This is not the way!

Not anymore.

Please.
- The Brakemen are coming!

We gotta go!

- This ain't over.

[indistinct chatter]

- Yeah, piss off!

- Let's get out of here.

Come on, hurry up!

[suspenseful music]

- Watch yourself, Pike.

- We all crave stability.

But Wilford brings order.

We just have to suffer
for a moment...

to get to our salvation.

- You can't find relief
without...hurting.

- [grunts]

[both grunting]

[dramatic music]



- Do it.

- I am not going to kill you.

If you die,
no one learns the truth.

- [yells]

[both grunting]



- I pray to you.

I pray to you,
and I draw strength.

Rejoice.

[grunts]

- No! No!

No! No!

[Logan grunts, groans]

[Till panting]

- [coughing]



[serene music]



- Daddy!

- Did I miss the corkscrew?

- [laughs]
No. Come sit.

- Hey.
- Hi.



- They're choosing sides,
Alex.

Come with me.

- What does it mean?

- They're calling for you,
Joseph.

- The train wants Wilford.

Should we light one?

- I'm not sure yet.

- Andre?



- [sighs]

Tell the Headwoods
to prep Icy Bob.

It's time.

[apprehensive music]
