Snowpiercer (2020) s02e07 Episode Script

Our Answer for Everything

1 [ominous music playing.]
[Till.]
I thought I'd be used to death by now.
What's eight lives against the 7 billion we lost in the Freeze? But it's different this way.
This isn't the Cold.
This is us.
People.
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.
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.
[theme music playing.]
[Logan.]
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.
[Layton.]
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 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.
[Till.]
Go.
Leave this with me.
[dramatic music playing.]
[Logan.]
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.
Hey.
[LJ.]
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.
Oy.
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.
Forget it.
Hey, hey! Hey! I know someone who might be able to help.
Who? This woman, Katya.
She has a couchette full of vintage stuff.
Wanna take me? Okay.
[Ruth.]
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.
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.
["The End of the World" playing over speakers.]
Why does the sun go on shining? [Bennett over radio.]
Big Alice, Big Alice.
Good day from Snowpiercer.
Come in.
Why does the sea rush to shore? [Bennett.]
Big Alice, Big Alice.
Snowpiercer calling.
Come in.
Pick up, Big Alice.
I know you're listening, you psychotic, old goat.
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.
[Wilford.]
Aw, 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.
- [Layton.]
You missed curfew.
Well, uh, I've always been a bit of a rebel.
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.
Not yet.
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.]
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 opens.]
- Alex, should we be worried? - I'll find out what's happening.
[Emilia.]
Wait! Sykes.
Wait a minute.
What's going on? This was us, right? If Wilford didn't tell you, then you're not supposed to know.
Why not? I don't know.
Take it up with him.
[rock music playing over headphones.]
[Astrid.]
It's getting bad in Third.
They all think we killed the Breachman.
We're safe back here.
We'll close our doors.
- What about all our people uptrain? - Lights and Winnie.
Yeah, right.
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? - 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? - [Murray.]
You don't wanna know.
I think just you and me, mate.
[suspenseful music playing.]
[indistinct chatter.]
Hey, we're gonna gather back in the Tail.
You.
We, uh We don't want any trouble.
You killed my friends! Now I kill you! [crowd clamoring.]
[Roche.]
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.
Well, 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.
Want to do that job again? Taking arms? Running a gulag at the back of the train? Come on.
- So why's it all on you? - Oh, Layton has enough to deal with.
People pointing fingers at Tailies, you'd think he'd 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.
The invisible hand of Wilford.
- Oh, it exists, believe me.
He's got someone here pulling the strings.
[knocking on door.]
[dramatic music playing.]
- [Osweiller.]
Hey.
- Come, come.
- Hey.
- [Till.]
Good afternoon.
[man.]
She don't speak English.
[man speaking in Russian.]
[woman speaks in Russian.]
She want to know what you look for.
Clothes? Hat? [Till.]
You tell me.
[man speaking in Russian.]
Babushka.
[speaks in Russian.]
She say button come from jacket.
[Osweiller.]
What's with all this Wilford stuff? [man.]
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? [man.]
Grandmother ask me to light each day as vigil until Mr.
Wilford return.
We give out to customer.
They light it for him also.
All the buttons are here.
Is this part of a set? [man speaks in Russian.]
[speaking in 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.
[dramatic music playing.]
[bell dings over PA.]
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 their king! 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.
We are one train.
Snowpiercer.
- This is not what we fought for.
- Yeah? [crowd clamoring.]
[bell dings over PA.]
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.
Well, then, by all means, carry on.
[door closes.]
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.
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.
[man sobbing.]
Joseph, what's going on? You see, this poor, poor member of my crew has gone all to pieces.
He needs your help.
[dramatic music playing.]
[man.]
No.
No! No, no! Leave me alone! Leave me alone! No, leave me alone! Leave me alone.
Leave me alone! Leave me alone! No! Please, no! This is Kevin.
- No! - I need you to fix him.
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.
- Let's get some Tailies! Come on! - Oh, man, Layton's in for it now.
[crowd clamoring.]
[rock music playing over headphones.]
Pike? You good? Layton.
My man.
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, why don't you head back to the Tail, okay? - It's dangerous out here.
- No.
I'm good.
You're a target.
- Nobody recognizes me like this, Layton.
- Really? 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.
Okay.
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.
Because 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.
It's okay.
There's no reason to be ashamed.
I can help you.
Kevin.
Kevin.
I just keep seeing him in the bathtub.
[ominous music playing.]
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.
- [sobbing.]
It was horrible.
I know.
I know.
But you're almost there.
- Look - What? - Look.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
[Miss Audrey.]
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 gave you everything.
- Please help.
No! - Just - Shut up! - Stop! Shut up! [groaning.]
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, God.
Oh, God.
I need you to let go.
I need you to calm down.
Just give in.
[indistinct chatter.]
- 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.
- It must have fallen off somewhere.
- Yeah, I don't think so.
Cherry the Breachwoman was strong.
Come here.
[suspenseful music playing.]
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.
- [Roche.]
Let's go.
Buckle up, sweetheart.
[crowd clamoring.]
Quick! In here! There's trouble in the Market too.
It's gonna be the whole train soon enough.
Ruth - Move.
- [man.]
Where do you think you're going? Quick.
In here.
Come on, come on, come on! [banging on door.]
- Just Hospitality.
- Let's go.
What's going on here? They're trapped.
Same as you.
Zarah, call Tristan.
Tell him you'll need an escort.
Right.
Let's see who we have here, then.
- Oh.
- [shrieks.]
- [Ruth.]
What's the matter? - [Zarah.]
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? [dramatic music playing.]
- Suzanne? - [Lights.]
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.
[crowd clamoring.]
[suspenseful music playing.]
- [Tristan.]
Ruth? - Tristan? - Tristan! - [Tristan.]
Ruth? Ruth! - Oh, have you got the escort? - No.
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 is that little girl? [Lights.]
Winnie? My God.
- She slipped out.
- [Zarah.]
Lights - Gotta find her! - No, no! You can't.
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? That one's a Tailie.
I know him! - [man.]
Grab him! - [Pike.]
What do you want? Hey.
Get back! 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! No! Let me go! Shut up! [Pike.]
I don't wanna shut up! [dramatic music playing.]
- [Layton.]
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.
- 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? [man.]
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.
Good luck.
[Ruth.]
Winnie? Winnie? [Suzanne.]
Be strong, Winnipeg.
I love you.
[Ruth.]
Winnie? Winnie! Aw.
There you are.
I've been looking all over the train for you.
How'd you get all the way up here? 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 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.
- I know.
You're very clever.
I can keep you safe from them if you come with me.
Will you come with me? [tender music playing.]
Come on, sweetheart.
Come on.
[Miss Audrey.]
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.
["You Were Mine" playing.]
- Come.
- Take my heart It used to be so supple and sweet And now it's withered On the vine There's before And then there's after You were mine Take my faith So strong and full of fire Now, it's bruised, broken down You look reinvigorated.
Well done.
There's before Kevin.
And then there's after You were mine You were mine Kneel for Mr.
Wilford.
Sun comes up Sun goes down World keeps rolling around Now lick Mr.
Wilford's slipper.
Depends on the clock Going tick-tock tick-tock Ain't the way I measure time There's just before And then there's after You were mine There's before And then It's nice to have you back.
There's before There's before - Thank you.
- And then there's after - [crowd clamoring.]
- No! No! No! No! Stop! No! - No! Not my arm! - Shut it! [Pike.]
You don't have to do this.
- Hey, we can make a deal.
- Shut him up! [Pike grunts.]
- They're back.
- [door closes.]
[Ruth.]
There you go.
- [Lights.]
Thank you.
- Andre.
Where are you going? What's going on? They've got one of us downtrain.
- A Tailie? - Yeah.
[suspenseful music playing.]
[Ruth.]
I'm coming with you! Please, can I just come with you? All right, let's go.
[indistinct chatter.]
Bess! [violin music playing over speakers.]
- Have a seat.
- Who were you talking to? [music stops.]
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? [suspenseful music playing.]
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.
- [kettle whistling.]
- Leave it.
- Bess.
- Don't lie to me.
- I never lied to you.
- [whistling stops.]
- 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 on to, something to believe in.
- I wanted to help you.
- You killed eight people.
A small price to pay for peace.
Don't you think? [crowd clamoring.]
[Pike.]
No! No! Hey, let him go! - Let him go! - We are done listening to you! Wait.
Jakes.
I know you.
Why are you doing this? - We fought together! - That was a mistake.
Never should've let you out of the Tail.
- [man.]
Traitors! Traitors! - [Layton.]
Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! You wanna punish somebody, take my arm.
Take my arm.
Let Pike go.
- [man.]
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.
No! No! Hey! No! No, no No! Wait! 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.
- [groans.]
- This is not the way! Not anymore.
- Please.
- The Brakemen are coming! We gotta go! [Jakes.]
This ain't over.
Yeah, piss off! [man.]
Let's get out of here.
Come on, hurry up! 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.
[dramatic music playing.]
Do it.
I am not going to kill you.
If you die, no one learns the truth.
I pray to you.
I pray to you and I draw strength.
Rejoice.
[Till.]
No! No! No! No! No! [coughing.]
- [girl.]
Daddy! - Did I miss the corkscrew? No.
Come sit.
- Hey.
- Hi.
[Wilford.]
They're choosing sides, Alex.
Come with me.
[dramatic music playing.]
What does it mean? They're calling for you, Joseph.
[girl.]
The train wants Wilford.
Should we light one? I'm not sure yet.
Andre? Tell the Headwoods to prep Icy Bob.
It's time.
[door opens, then closes.]
[theme music playing.]
