Snowpiercer (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - The Original Sinners - full transcript
It all comes to a head as old adversaries clash, with New Eden hanging in the balance.

♪ ♪
- I guess someone
has to be the monster.
The one who favors reason
and shatters dreams.
I've died and sacrificed
my bond with Alex
so many times for this train.
To surrender now would
render that meaningless.
So maybe it was inevitable
that the monster would be me.
[indistinct chatter]
- All right, we hold here!
Stay ready!
If there's any trouble today,
our job is to keep
the factions apart.
- Look, Melanie dropped a bomb.
Whether the Tail
will fight for New Eden now--
- Whether they'll fight for me.
- Well, we'll see.
- Back in the fatigues, I see.
- I wish that weren't
a good name for them.
Hey, you ready for this?
Being the bad guys?
- If the passengers feel
anything like I do
about being lied to,
we're not the bad guys.
Layton, Ben, the New Eden team,
those guys are.
And Wilford?
- Still missing.
- Well, that's a problem.

What are you doing?

Trespassing.

- What dam?
Melanie and Layton?
- No. Wilford.
Whatever you're up to
with him,
I don't want any part of it.
- John, I'm not
on that side anymore.
John! Stop.
It's not like that.
You can trust me.
- "John" now, is it?

- Oh--
- It's time, darling.
I'm making my move.
I would ravish you
here and now,
but you understand.
- Sure.
- We're fighting
from the bottom.
I've got to be smart!
We'll set up shop right here
between the two camps.
A fine vantage.
Dr. Headwood! Where's our boy?
- Right here, sir.
- There he is! Yes!
Hello, lad.
Our new Coldman,
rescued from
the aquarium explosion,
resurrected by the good doctor.
What do you think?
[cheers and applause]
Icy Boki!
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
- Boki!
[all chanting]
Boki! Boki! Boki! Boki! Boki!
- Obviously, I would love
to have your support
with Hospitality.
- Obviously.
- And I'm hoping
you can tell me
where Alex is right now.
- She's probably
with Mr. Layton.
You've shattered
her dreams too.
We were going to New Eden
in your honor,
completing your mission.
- No.
My mission is to ensure
our survival on this train
until we know
it's safe to get off.
Will you help me
complete that mission?
Help me serve the passengers
like you always have.
Please.
- Any more on Wilford?
- Escaped and unaccounted for.
Javi's still not picking up,
so I haven't been able
to yell at him yet.
- That's not gonna help.
- She's probably right.
How long till the turn?
- 24 hours.
I don't wanna drop anchor yet,
but I can slow us down.
- Hey. I need you.
- Any news on where Alex is?
- No word.
- Hey, slow down just enough
to piss them off.
Make Javi call us.
- On it.
- How bad is it?
- New Eden still has support,
but anyone who was on the fence
is backing Melanie.
- Ag-Sec voted.
They want the train.
- Ag-Sec. Jesus Christ.
- Yeah.
Well, maybe if the messaging
off the top wasn't a lie.

still merits the risk.

- Hey.

You better hear them out.
Hey.

- Thank you for coming.
- Yo, Lay, the Tail
came for answers, man.
- Hey, New Eden was a lie,
mate! We know it!
- Liar!
I don't wanna hear anything--
- The lie is on me. It is.
I used dirty politics to try
and bring the train together.
But--hey, but!
Don't let that overshadow
what the Engineers
have showed us is possible.
- How possible are we
really talking this time?
- Yeah.
- Can you get us
off this train or not?
[indistinct chatter]
- With you, I can get us there.
I can't promise you
that New Eden
can support life long-term.
Hey, but the Tail knows
neither can this train.
We've suffered
under Melanie's rule before.
We can't go back to that.
[stirring music]
- I don't know.
Can we can trust him again?
- Let's get it done then.
[cheering]

all: New Eden!

- You've got a visitor.
- Mr. Roche.
Good to see you.
Our relationship is so
stimulating now it's personal.
- Yeah, I do take murder
personally, sir.
Just added three of my brakemen
to the list.
- [sighs]
I'm sorry about that.
They'll be the last bodies
of this affair from me.
Some deterrence.
[tense music]
- Breachman Boscovic.
Looking good.
- Yes. We don't want anyone
coming in here unannounced.
Do we, Boki?
Apart from that,
I'm just here to help you
keep the two sides apart.

listen up.
If anybody is here
against their will,
anybody who wants to leave,
they can, with me, right now.

all right?
- I heard stories about you,
about how ruthless
you could be.
- Can we sit?
- Congratulations, Mom.
Who knew you would make
your move
literally
right after we saved you?
- We have to look at it
objectively.
If you can't do that,
you've lost your way
as an Engineer.

is speak to Layton
before this goes any further.

in one basket.
The track is not tested.

or the Tail army
will do it for you.

We both know it's a long march
to the Engine.

long enough.

Endless seesaw battles
for control?

- Wilford took the Nightcar.
He's in there with
about a dozen guys and Boki.
- Boki's alive?
- Yeah, well,

He's his new Coldman.
- What?

She didn't leave
when she had the chance.
- Of course she didn't.
Together again, right?
- No. No, she's not
on Wilford's side.

telling me?
- She's not going back to him.
She can't.
- Psst!
My whistle is wanting,
and so is the help.
You think this is your room?
I am the Nightcar.
- Have you missed court,
Audrey?
- Sir, Zarah is waiting
for you in the back room.
- All right.
- No one is safe.
- Zarah. [chuckles]
Hmm, vipers' nest out there.
- Just how you like it, Joseph.
You'll be fanning the flames
until you're
the last one standing.
- How can I help?
- I wanna make sure that
our arrangement still stands.
That my daughter will be safe
no matter how
this all plays out.
- Of course.
I intend to honor
our agreement, as do you.
- Layton took Ag-Sec
without firing a shot.
His people stuck with him.
He holds all the cards now,
Melanie.
- Can the Brakemen hold him?
- Roche won't fight your war.
He serves the people.
You don't have the pull
you once did, you know.
- [scoffs]
[sighs]
I need an ally.
- Not Wilford.
- I can control him.
- That's not the point.
- No, the point--
the point is this,
it's everything.
Every last soul on Earth.
If I have to sell mine
to protect theirs,

but I've spent
too long redeeming myself
to go back now.

all: Oh!
- Ow!
- That had to hurt!
- The widow Headwood
upgraded a side effect.
"Loss of sensation" is now
"impervious to pain."
Our finest Breachman yet.
Ready for the field.
No suit required.
- Well, that's good.
Someone from Layton's side
seems to have stolen
all the breach suits.
- The problem is, Melanie,
you're a legend.
So you do have support--
former Firsties,
some Guilds, et cetera--
but you're both
militarily outmatched
and down in the polls.
So you need me.
Two legends
are better than one.
- I believe if we were seen
as united,
then the majority of passengers
would choose the train, yes.
- Well, of course.
But it still comes down
to fear,
fear of Layton's colony,
or fear of the train
that got them this far.
- There's only one way
that this works.
- Here it comes.
- I'm Head Engineer.
And you retire
from Engineering altogether.
It's my train.
- Assuming generous comforts,
meaningful consultation,
and if I maintained control
of certain interests of mine--
cold treatment for example--
- Assuming all of that
and all of my shame
of cutting a deal with you,

Exactly my counsel.

So if you want
to remain relevant,
help me come up
with another solution.
- Well, I might have
something up my sleeve.
- Okay.
- Less bloody,
but requiring dark maneuvers
on a more personal scale.
I may have access to something
Layton will throw himself
into the volcano for.

Citizens of Snowpiercer,
as the fork
to New Eden approaches,
I am proud to say
that we have found a way
through our impasse.
We agree the only course
is compromise,
and the answer
is individual choice.
- The train
will be divided in Ag-Sec.
Every passenger
will be allowed to choose
between the train with me
and New Eden with Andre Layton.
- Those who choose New Eden
need to understand
we don't know
what we'll find there.
The journey will be dangerous.
And, yes, it will require
a leap of faith.
But more importantly, desire
to build a new society.
- Those of you who remain,
we know that life
will continue to be hard
on Snowpiercer.
Bit by bit,
the train is breaking down.
But we will no longer add to
that hardship with oppression.
The train will run
on science and truth.
And we will share the burden of
our limited resources together.
