Snowpiercer (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - Episode #3.3 - full transcript

- Move it! Move it!
- Move!

- I was born for battle.

Built for it.

Sometimes in battle,
a perfectly crafted plan

gets compromised.

A true general comes up
with a better one

right there on the spot,

working without a net

and sticking the landing
to thunderous applause.

- Hurry up, you dogs!
Let's go! Let's go!

♪ ♪



- Where are they?

- They were coming
straight at us

and then veered away
on a sidetrack.

This line bends Southwest.

At that speed, they could be
20 kilometers away by now.

- Or coming about
to nip at our heels.

- I'm sorry, sir.
There was no warning.

- No, they saw to that,
didn't they?

No satellite coverage.
A moonless night.

An ambush from the shadows!

- As cowardly as the day
they left, sir.

- No, they didn't drive by
for nothing.

Forward lamps to full.

Brake!



There's a moment in a fight
when that first blow lands

and everything stops.

And in that flash of clarity,

you know who you are.

I'll push as hard as it takes
to get my engine back.

Snowpiercer, 1,023 cars long.

♪ ♪

Full thrust. Push through it.

- Sir, if that axel--
- Full power, Engineer. Now!

- Well done, sir.
Round one to you.

- No, no, that trap
wasn't meant to stop us.

It was meant to slow us down.

We can't have
any setbacks today, Kevin.

Ruth's people
will be energized.

Find them.

- I know just where to start.

- Take the gloves off.
Make an example.

- I thought you'd never ask.

- And Kevin?
- Yes, sir.

- Send Zarah to me.

What's our speed?

- 14 kilometers an hour.

- All right, Mr. Layton,
you got us at a crawl.

What's the play?

♪ ♪

Layton knows better
than to connect end to end.

My Jackboots would just
sweep in and crush him.

So he's going to peck at us
from the side.

- He needs parallel track.

- And this rail yard
is an entire maze of it.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

He broke free of the snare
but slowed down.

- We can get
right up alongside him

in these sidings.

They'll be in position
in 2 kilometers.

- Bring us around, Ben.
- Copy that.

- How long we got?
- Three, four minutes.

- All right, stay sharp.
Let's get this done.

I'll make sure Josie's ready.

- Bess.

♪ Bess Till ♪

♪ Bess! ♪
- Audrey, shut it.

- What's happening? Is it him?

- You'll know it's him
when his head is on a pike.

Oh.

♪ ♪

- You ready for this?

- Ben takes us close.
I jump over,

breach the Big Alice engine,
and you reconnect.

- We only get one shot at it.

- Well, then,
better not miss it.

♪ ♪

- Zarah, just in time.

Thought you should
be here for this.

- As a hostage or a spectator?

- As my confidante,
nothing less.

Come. Come on.

Have a look.

See, that's your old life
creeping up our flank.

- Are they attacking?

- Maybe they're here
to surrender.

You see any white flags?

- No.
- No.

No, and if I had to guess,

I'd say they're trying
to cut the head off the snake.

But I have a surprise for them.

- Heave.

Heave.

- Well, whatever these tin cans
are for can't be good.

- Pike, man, what's the plan?

- Keep your eyes on your work.

- Heave.
- And quit standing around!

Let's go.

- Come on. What are you doing?

- All right, time to move.
I'll distract them.

You guys get to Ruth.

- No. Whoa, whoa.
That's not how it works, man.

You're in charge now.
You don't get caught.

- Hei, húndàn.

Catch.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

- We're in position.

- Josie, it's time.
Be careful out there.

- I'll breach the bastard,
don't worry.

Now! Harpoon!
- Deploy.

♪ ♪

- Opening cold-lock.

♪ ♪

Wilford has a cannon
or something.

Pull back!
- Switch track.

Josie, hold on.

♪ ♪

- We're derailing!
- Try to stabilize.

- Well done.

Never fails to amaze me.

You take so much in
and give so little back.

I just hobbled your man, Zarah,
and you didn't even flinch.

At this rate, the war will be
over by daybreak.

♪ ♪

- Come on. The car is damaged.
We gotta go.

Let's go.

- We have to cut it loose.
It's gonna derail us.

- Cut here? That's four cars.

- It's the closest J-link.
It's the only option.

- Asha's back there.
- We don't have time.

- Go.

- You okay? Thank you.

- She waited
eight years outside.

Can't very well kill her
on day two.

- Safety's off.

- Disconnecting now

And we're clear.

- Here.

You'll be safer up here.

Hey...

You gonna be okay?

- Turn out the lights.

- Sure.

Hold fast, okay?

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

- We have a problem.

Wilford's gone.

His train went dark.
He could be anywhere now.

- Switch off comms
and transmitters tip to tail.

Not a peep.

Zarah, what are you doing
still on your feet?

You must be exhausted.
Come.

- So what are you planning?

Bit of a lull.

It'll do us good.

Catch our breath.

I've invested a lot in you.

And the child.

I just want to keep you
near me,

for your protection.

- And because they won't attack
the engine if I'm in it.

- Right.

♪ ♪

- How do you lose
a 10-mile train?

- We were the ones
that led him into this maze.

- He could be running.

These six routes head
out of the valley.

If he gets to linear track,
we'll lose our advantage.

- Yeah, or he's around
the next corner,

laying in wait.

- He's gonna pick us off
piece by piece.

I looked into the muzzle
of that thing.

- We need to get eyes on him.
Can we get to higher ground?

- Here, track follows
the ridgeline.

Should give us a view
of the whole basin.

- Okay, let's do it.
Lights out.

If he's gonna go dark,
so do we.

♪ ♪

- Up and at 'em, lovebirds.

- Kevin!

Get out. How dare you?

- Commandeering the Nightcar.
- Ugh, Kevin.

- On whose authority?

- Call it a wartime measure.

Oh, you didn't hear?
Layton's back.

Up. There's work to do.

♪ ♪

- Why don't you, um,
go put some coffee on?

- Who--who's there?

- Here to see the prisoner.

I'm her lawyer.

- I don't think
that's a thing anymore.

- Lose your helmet, Jackboot?

- Hey, come on, man. Hey.

- Do you know me?

- You're--you're a Tailie.

Forgive me,
I-I don't know your name.

- I know you.

Whiggins.

- Yes.

- Well, there's two things
you should know about Tailies.

We have long memories
and we win wars.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

We won the last one.

And we'll win this one.

And do you wanna be the guy
who stands in the way?

Hmm, Whiggins?

- You have ten minutes,
Counselor.

Let me just get
the door for you.

- Pike?
- You're looking good, girl,

with those arms dangling down.

- You shouldn't be here.
It's too dangerous.

- I'm gonna get you
out of here.

- Wait, wait, wait.
Tell me what happened.

- Wilford drove Layton off
with cannon fire.

Now we're rolling around
in the dark.

- Well, if Wilford is hiding,
then we need to signal Layton.

- I'm gonna get you
out of here first.

- You can't.

You'd have to kill Whiggins,

and then you'd have
to find Clifford

and kill him too,
'cause he's got the keys.

- Go on.

- Pike, Mr. Pike,
you're a dear man

and a brave one,
but this war is bigger than us.

- How do I signal Layton?

- I've got an idea,

but you'll have to get uptrain
to hospitality.

♪ ♪

Asha.

Hey, you good in there?

I'm sorry, I dropped you
right in the thick of it.

Here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

- What's going on?

Did Mr. Wilford
cripple the train?

- No, look, it's just some
cat and mouse, all right?

It's fine.

- And you're supposed
to be the cat?

Eight of you against
the great Mr. Wilford.

- The great Mr. Wilford
is not who you think he is.

- Isn't he the one
that saved all of you?

- We saved our own damn selves.

He built all of this
just so he could be king.

- So now it's your turn?
- No.

This is personal for us, okay?

I have a partner
that I boarded with.

I have a child on the way.

- Oh, if you're doing this
for a child,

you will do things
that you will regret.

- I just came in to warn you.
We are not giving up.

This is gonna get worse
before it gets better, okay?

- Okay.

I can almost convince myself

you're not a horrible person.

- Thank you.

- And then I remember
you only sing covers,

so the words aren't
actually yours.

- Lyrics are just dressing.

I sing for him.

- Oh, God.

- You scoff,

but at the end of the day,
that's all there is.

A person you sing for.

Who's that to you, Bess?

How do you get all the way

- Who?

- Layton, Zarah, Roche.

- Roche?

- Yeah, Roche.

He was like a mentor to me
and--

and a friend.

Even though I fought him, he--
he had my back.

No, I don't--
I don't sing for him.

They're still with us.

- We see you, Joseph.

- Ha.

- He's making a break for it.

East over the ridge
to the trunk line.

He wants to sneak out
of the rail yard

because it's where we have
tactical advantage.

- If he gets out of the valley,

he's looking
at days of linear track.

- Can we beat him to it?
- Alex?

- No.

I don't know, maybe.
It's all assumptions.

- What are we waiting for?
Pedal down.

- Let's cut 'em off
at the pass.

- Full throttle, Engineer.

- Sir, with respect,
we're draining really fast.

A few ticks slower
would be more efficient.

- They've seen us.
They're coming!

Tap every last reserve

and get us
over that bloody ridge!

♪ ♪

- So you have a choice,
Strong Boy.

I can take two fingers
next time

or I can take your thumb.

Or you could be smart

like when
you bravely volunteered

to step up to my table here.

Wilford just needs you
to start talking

and name your collaborators.

No.

- Ah, no!

No!

Stop!

Just wanted to serve some
drinks and play some tunes.

War is not pretty.

But Wilford will reward us.

- If he wins.

- Of course he'll win.

- If he doesn't?

- And Layton rolls in here,
finds this?

Finds us?

Wilford's little
wedding puppets.

- We're not the torturers,
all right?

We're just providing a venue.

will be quick to sort that out.

I guess you don't need
that tongue anymore.

Hold him, hold him.

Ahh. Open up.

with him,

we still have
the harpoon issue,

end to end.

We'll never overpower
his Jackboots.

- No.

- No.

So we need a plan
to get into his engine.

We need a distraction.

you and open track, Wilford.

So it's a game of chicken,
is it?

I don't think

you'll make it this far.

- Oh, Big Alice has more fight
than you know.

You called this meeting,
Layton.

So go on,

or are we just gonna stand here
pissing off our prows?

- When we left, we made a deal.

I keep Audrey safe--

- I remember,
and I don't murder everyone.

Yes, I remember the deal.

It was made under duress,
I'll remind you.

But I stuck to it.

Positively glowing.

- I'm here, Andre. I'm okay.

- And Audrey?

I want to hear her.

I need to know she's all right.

- Surrender the train
and you can tell her yourself.

- Surrender?

- We'll give you a car
in First, food, drink.

You two can live out
your years together.

- So I--

I give you
absolutely everything,

and you give me
a little piece back in return?

That's quite some offer,
Layton.

we end this without violence,
