- I've been here before.
Where memories turn on you.
Even the good ones.
- More bad dreams?
♪ ♪
- Maybe you should read
something besides my journals
if they're giving you
nightmares.
- It's comforting to me,
actually,
reading your last words.
- That's nice.
♪ ♪
So what is bothering you?
- Just the usual
murder thoughts.
Wishing death on Joseph.
♪ ♪
Wilford said the weakest
are those
who suffer from memories.
The strongest carry the past
like fuel
to ignite a path forward.
♪ ♪
- He wasn't wrong.
♪ ♪
- Where are we?
- We're slowing.
- Yeah.
And here he comes.
- Knock, knock.
Rise and shine.
Track blockage.
- Mm, sure do miss him.
- Oh, my God.
- Blockage is about
three kilometers away.
- We're almost
at the main line.
- Why did I take this shortcut?
Jesus.
Looks like train cars.
- What?
- You know what's out there,
don't you?
- My continuous,
inescapable loop.

Our past and future
bound by one track

- We'll be at New Eden
in less than two weeks,
so if you have any issues
or questions
about transitioning
your departments, I'm here.
- Uh, question for Ms. Asha.
I'm Astrid, food services.
Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
- How did you manage
before it started warming
when the whole planet
hit deep freeze?
- Uh, what you are calling
New Eden,
the Horn of Africa,
never got as cold as--
- Excuse me.
Hey, up top, hi.
I'm Pike, no vocation.
I was wondering,
were there trees in New Eden?
- There were small trees
and shrubs.
- Oh, were there insects?
- Yes.
There were several kinds
of insects in my hydroponics.
- You're needed in the Engine.
- Good.
Maybe they'll tell me
why we slowed to a crawl.
Okay, I think that's it.
See everyone tomorrow.
Nicely done.
You good?
- It's been a long time since
I've tried to be
an inspiration.
- Yeah, no worries.
You're doing great.
Tristan has set up some time
for us tonight to catch up.
- Okay.
- Okay, see you then.
♪ ♪
You're late.
- You didn't invite me, Layton.
- Like, days late.
We could use you.
- Could you though?
- Stepped up as a leader.
People will look to you
if you let 'em.
- Hmm.
You know, when--
when you were gone,
we lost Mama Grande
and both Last Australians
to the flu.
- I know. I'm sorry.
- And then you show up
and we lose Strong Boy.
- Respect.
May they rest.
- They don't though, do they?
- We have paid dearly, brother,
but we are bringing
the train back to land.
Choose your vocation.
Wow, I appreciate that.
But it's still you asking, hmm?
The leader who left us.
♪ ♪
- Think about it, Pike.
Looks like three cars.
They were Big Alice?
- In year one, Wilford cut cars
to lose weight.
I was only ten.
I didn't know that
they were dropped off here.
- How easy are they to move?
- We don't have to
push them far.
There's a siding off
the main track.
- The rail clamps are down.
- Oh, shit.
They've dropped anchor.
- They essentially bolt
the cars to the track.
Once the clamps are down,
there's nothing
you can do to move them.
- What's the alternative?
- Back to the main line,
down through the Oceania Loop.
23 days.
- Can't afford a delay
like that.
- It'll give people a chance
to catch up with the lie.
- Yeah, Asha's already
struggling with it.
- All right.
So we board the cars,
fire up the systems,
disengage the clamps.
Be tricky.
Years of ice buildup.
- I'll go.
What?
I know the cars best.
I'll take a couple RF batteries
and I'll be in...
- Alice?
- And out in a few hours. Ben.
- That's a two-Engineer job
at best.
I'll go with you.
Javi can drive.
He'll just need to reverse
to keep the systems running
until it's time
to come push the cars off.
He needs to get back
in the saddle.
- It's either Javi
or we backtrack.
- We're not backtracking.
- As I thought.
I'll prepare the sled.
- Look, I know your friend's
going through
a rough time or whatever,
but this couch is starting
to smell like him.
- Jesus.
Okay, come on.
I-I got it.
- Where'd everybody go?
- Okay, come on, boss.
Duty calls.
Bess, you're a good friend.
- You know, your daughter's
struggling, too,
and pissing off the neighbors.
- It's good. She's good.
I got it.
Hey, firecracker.
- Where'd you find him?
Compost?
- Hey, watch it.
Where do you think
you're backpacking?
- Why? You don't care.
Just go pass out in a pile
of Mum's stuff again.
- Carly, I'm sorry.
There's just this--
like, this hole in me.
- You're not the only one
it happened to!
- Carly, I know
you're going through a lot.
He just needs help
getting back--
- Then you do it!
♪ ♪
- Hey. Might not mean much now,
but you will get through this
and I'm gonna help you.
- People think Anne died
in her sleep, Bess.
♪ ♪
The drawers aren't sleep.
I need to be where she died.
Can you take me there?
Please?
- Batteries full, check.
- Maybe pack an extra battery?
Better safe than--
- Walking into the cold
and freezing to death
nowhere to be found?
- Hey, why are you doing this?
- Track needs to be cleared.
It's routine, isn't it?
- No.
It's anything but.
You aren't responsible
for his sins, Alex.
♪ ♪
- You good?
- I'm good.
- Snowpiercer, Snowpiercer,
suits are sealed.
- Braking to a full stop.
- Stopped.
Finally.
We've rolled up on something.
- Who are you talking to?
- My favorite thinking partner.
- Yourself?
Yes.
- So what's your cave painting
say?
Looks like you have it
narrowed down to, um--to Asia?
- It's hard to keep track
of every turn.
I have to sleep sometimes.
- Sure. Poor thing.
- I know.
My hands throbs constantly
and, uh--and I'm only
allowed a spoon.
- Mm.
- They're reversing now.
I think they dropped off
a clearing crew.
Backing off now
to let them work.
I know exactly where we are.
♪ ♪
- We need to get inside.
Let's get this started.

to live in,
leaves on every branch,
and the light.
Zarah, it was alive.
♪ ♪
I don't know
how I know it's real.
♪ ♪
Now I sold Asha on it.
What if I'm wrong?

Lovely. Thanks.
Well, well, well,

All dressed up.
What's the occasion?
- In your first month
below zero,
I made you a promise.
Remember?
- No. Have you got a banana?
- And I intend to keep
my promise, right?
Something about
if we made it through...
- That we would share
Bananas Foster.
- Yeah. So how about it?
- What, now?
- Yeah.
- Right now?
It's my first shift

- Mm.
♪ ♪
♪ ♪
- Sorry.
- Why are you sorry?
- I, uh...
I still feel guilty
eating beef.
- Is that, like,
a religious thing?
- Oh, more of a fear of
disappointing my grandmother.
- That's mutton,
if that changes anything.
Unfortunately,
cows are extinct.
- I thought everything
was extinct.
- Yeah.
Hey, take it slow.
- Thank you. I'll try.
- Oh.
Aren't you very
"Spy vs. Spy."
- Not sure if you're aware,
but I was sidelined
for most of Zarah's pregnancy.
- I was not aware of that.
- Dr. Headwood took over
shortly after you left.
I've been snooping.
- Ixodes scapularis protein.
Leptin receptor?
Does any of this mean
anything to you?
- My skills got stuck
in a war zone, so barely,
but it's about gene therapy.
Some of those processes
are in Josie's file too
for cold treatment.
I thought you better know.

Let's just keep it calm.
- Ben, there's something I
probably should have told you.
- Oh, yeah? What's that?
- Don't freak out.
- Oh.
What is this?
- It's Wilford's cull.
Those he sacrificed
to keep the rest of us alive.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- If I had,
would you have let me come?
- I'm already relying
on one fragile Engineer.
Now I have to worry about two.
