Snowpiercer (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Born to Bleed - full transcript

- I've been told over and over

that time heals all wounds.

But there's one man
on Snowpiercer

who will never let mine close.

- What the hell was that?
Some kind of prank?

- It's a trap.

- Wounds fester.
They rot.

They don't go away.

Maybe it's just me.

I pick,
unable to let wounds heal.

It's in my nature to provoke.



Or maybe I was just born
to bleed.

- Mr. Pike.

Ruth?

What are you doing here?

- I've been thinking
about our time together

and that maybe I made
the wrong choice.

- Shit, don't tell me that now.

It's okay.

It was a long time coming.

Wasn't it, Strong Boy?

♪ ♪

- What have you done, Mr. Pike?

♪ ♪

- Wake up.
Wake up!



Pike! Pike!

Hey.

You all right?

- What are you guys
doing in here?

- Someone tried to kill Layton.

- Tried?
Is he okay?

- It was a bomb.

Apparently walked away.
We don't know much more.

- But he wants to see
all of us.

- Where is he?

- He's holed up
in the big Alice Engine

with Zarah and the baby.

- Oh, it makes sense.

It's one of the most secure
areas of this train.

Do we know who did it?

- I guess we'll find out.

Let's jet.

Whoever pulled this shirt
is a coward.

Say whatever you want
about the Tail.

At least we handle things
man to man.

- I wouldn't say Layton's
much of a Tailie anymore.

I'm just saying,
he's off swimming with sharks.

They bite.

- Man, once a Tailie,
always a Tailie.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

- Good to see your faces.

- I wish it was
under better circumstances.

- Thank you, guys,
for coming, really.

- You should be celebrating
your daughter's birthday,

not fearing for your life.

- Well, you're carrying, good.

- Yeah, you?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, Wilford's got
a sword collection.

- That's handy.
- Yeah.

- What do we know?
- That it was a trap.

Till's got some leads.
That's all for now.

We'll keep y'all locked
in here for now.

- Z, I'm gonna stay
by this door.

Take Astrid,
grab your crossbow,

and set up at the border.

- Yeah, let's go.
Nobody gets down here

till we know
what's going on uptrain.

- You all right with her?
Do you need me to stay?

- Thanks, I'm good.
Go.

- Layton's moving on from all
the wounds he inflicted,

but we're still bleeding,

even if the trauma's
hidden deep,

on Snowpiercer,
1,029 cars long.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

- Well?

- Well, he's calm, yes,

but calmly obsessed
with retribution.

- He's not coming around?
- Just not sure he's ready

for the big reset to really
build a foundation of healing.

- Right.

♪ ♪

- It's good of you and Till
to keep coming.

Maybe today's the day.

- Oi.

All right, come on.
Stop pretending

I know
you're not taking the meds.

- Can a man not nap?

- No, because you're needed.

There's been an attempt

on Andre's life,
so come on, up you get.

It's time to get back
to work, Sam.

Just tell the psychiatrist
what he wants to hear.

- The only reason they made
that man the shrink is

because he boarded the train

with the biggest collection
of self-help books.

- We both know that's true,
so just say the word.

- The word is no, Ruth.
Please leave me alone.

- If you won't do it
for me, Sam,

can you do it
for your daughter?

'Cause Carly is struggling.

She needs you.

- No, she doesn't.

Because all I think about,
day and night, is Wilford,

still breathing,

so I stick needles
into his eyes,

choke him slowly
with my bare hands

and slit his throat for what
he did to me and my family.

♪ ♪

Well then, you know what?

The longer you feel this way,
the longer he wins.

♪ ♪

- There's two bricks missing.

- Okay.

That bomb was small
and targeted.

I'd say it used half of one
of these plus the ethanol.

- Great, so there's enough
to make three more,

or one big one.

- During the Year Three
Rebellion, the Tailies

smuggled in
these same materials.

- Sounds like you know
where you're visiting next.

- Yeah.

- I'll move this shit
somewhere safer.

- Good idea.

- You're showing signs
of concussion.

- I feel fine.
I won't go to sleep

or drive a car
or look at bright screens.

- Being facetious helps too.

Take it slow.

That blast really did
a number on ya.

Seriously, don't let him sleep.

- Yeah, I don't think there's
any risk of that.

Thanks, Doc.

- Thank you.

♪ ♪

- What's your gut telling you?

- It takes a special type
of psycho to try and kill me

on the same day
as my daughter is born.

- It wasn't Wilford.
- Oh really?

Because with me out of the way,
that just leaves

you and Liana for him,

and that feels like
pretty Wilford to me.

- You've seen him.
He's barely capable of it.

He's a shadow of himself.

So are his usual allies.

- I am going to go crazy
stuck in here.

Drink?

- No, you have a concussion.

You're not drinking.
He's not drinking.

- She's right. Sorry.

♪ ♪

How about I make you
both some tea?

- That would be great.

Thank you.

♪ ♪

- You're staring again, Mom.

- Sorry.
It's been a long six months,

I guess.

You're just--you're like
a completely human man now.

I'm sorry I missed it.

- You didn't miss anything.

But at least Wilford
kept apprenticeships going.

- I heard you're top
of your engineering class.

Is that true?

Hmm?

- Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

- We're gonna figure out
who did this to Layton, okay?

We're Tailies.

You mess with one of us,

you mess with us all.

- Do you think any of us
are still Tailies?

- As long
as you remember our culture,

the way we learned
to live together.

That's how we're gonna do it
off train.

- What's the word, Bess?
Caught anyone yet?

- It was a fertilizer bomb.

- All right, I got you now.

The bombs
in the Year Three Rebellion.

- I am not bringing up
old blood.

I just need to know
who built them.

- Come on, you know
who built them.

It was me.

But I had nothing to do
with yesterday.

- That's not in question,
Lights.

I just need anything
you can give me.

- How is your cognition?

- Excuse me?

- Your brain, your senses.

You spent six months
in the Drawers.

I know that it gets pretty hard
in there.

- My brain's just fine,
thank you very much.

- They say that everybody
responds differently.

It's probably just
because you're young.

- You're not a student
of body language, are you?

- I know that you think
I'm a Wilfordite,

but I really don't blame
your dad

for trying to kill him.

- I do, because he failed.

- Well, that's only because
he got too complicated with it.

The suspension serum
is pretty unpredictable.

When I tried to kill Wilford,
I kept it pretty simple.

A blade to his carotid artery.

Are you gonna eat that?

- No.

- Copy that.

I got Brakemen setting up
checkpoints front to back.

Can't run forever.

an announcement,
