First, the weather changed.
In the final days of the Freeze,
the visionary Mr. Wilford prepared a Great Ark--
Snowpiercer.
There are places on the Earth that are warming.
This train is all we've known for the past eight years.
Melanie on P.A.: Every passenger will be allowed to choose
between the train with me and New Eden with Andre Layton.
New Eden is our chance at a fresh start.
I will serve with you till the end of the world.
We could derail before we even get there.
It's good to take a leap of faith.
Separating.
Goodbye, Javi. - Adios, amigo.
Those who choose New Eden need to understand,
I can't promise you
that New Eden can support life long-term.
The track is so bad, it's impossible to find a good speed.
Welcome to the new world.
In middle school, I spent an entire summer inside.
I didn't go out.
Didn't want the kids to make fun of my braces.
But this--
no walls, no ceiling
for the first time in eight years,
I'm not going to lie, it's kind of freaking me out.
Does it freak you out?
Not one bit.
But you in braces?
All right.
Radiation levels are normal for now.
Outside temperature is minus 117.
Maybe it was a--
a satellite that fell out of orbit.
The rocket's trajectory was leaving the atmosphere,
not entering it.
Could have been a fail safe triggered automatically
by who knows what.
A rat chewing a wire?
Yeah, well, anything's possible.
Tell you what.
Let's get these samples and be gone.
"Snowpiercer," this is Ben.
Do you read me?
Mel, do you copy? Come in.
Some kind of interference.
Ben.
Holy shit.
They were waiting for us.
The end of the line.
That's what I thought when the train split apart.
Who knew we'd end up like this?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. - I--I got it.
I got--I got it.
You didn't need to run off like a crazy person.
She's fine.
Come here a second.
You all right? Do you need to sit down?
You look like you're going to pass out.
I'm just--well, look, wait till nap time
when she's screaming for her Gibby.
Then we gonna see who the hero is.
Ain't that right? - Clearly it's Gibby.
Mm-hmm.
All right, well, now that you got your morning run in,
how about we all get to work?
Wait, wait. It's cold out.
She needs a-- she needs a parka.
- Mm-hmm. Let me get mine. - I'll get yours.
Turns out my mother was right.
Before she passed on, she held my hand and said,
"Don't worry, son.
Endings are just beginnings in disguise."
This is a new beginning, a new Eden,
filled with survivors looking for a second chance.
No doubt the open sky has been a gift.
But growing food, generating power,
fighting unpredictable weather,
it's been a struggle.
Almost as hard as trying to make contact with our friends.
Wondering if they're still alive out there,
on Snowpiercer.
879 cars long.
Hurry!
Come on, let's go!
Come on!
Come on, guys!
There!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Good morning.
There's a council meeting tonight?
Yeah. Do you think you can take her?
Yeah. Just come on by in the morning.
I'll remember to pack the bunny.
Hey, yeah, what's up?
Hey, do you think Headwood has the time
for treatment today?
Yeah, we'll make time for you.
Are you getting your feeling back?
Yeah.
I mean, some areas are responding better than others.
I mean, my hand is almost completely back to normal.
Hey, look! Got lucky.
Actual blueberries.
- OK. - Ooh, yum.
Yum. - Hey.
So I've been working on that transceiver glitch.
I think the far relay's too close to the edge
of the pocket.
Yeah, good morning to you, too, Javi.
Hey, guys. I should get to the clinic.
I'll just catch you guys later. - Yeah.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Based on projections, we've got about a week
before Snowpiercer reaches radio range.
Yeah, and these atmospheric conditions are not helping.
They're all over the place.
I think they're affecting signal.
But I was thinking maybe we can
run diagnostics, check the feed line,
maybe move one of the relays.
Yes, OK. I'll help.
Thank you.
See you tonight.
I mean, the fact that we still
have everyone living on the train after a year,
I'd hoped for much better.
Shelter's next on the list after we fix the bridge.
Took up a lot of manpower.
Is that still on schedule to finish this week?
It's--
we'll get there. - We better.
You know, the work is piling up between the shelters,
the power grid-- - I know, and the relay issues.
The fun never stops.
Are we having relay issues?
Hmm?
Where'd you hear that?
Oh, God. Take me back to the Teals.
Hey, I think that rugged town mayor
suits you better than the Teals.
Sorry to bother you, Ruth, but Sykes needs you in Ag-Sec.
Something about the irrigation in car A14.
Ooh, there it is.
Let's add irrigation to the ever-growing list of problems
for tonight's meeting. - On it.
That is, if you'll be joining us, Councilman Layton?
Wouldn't miss it, Council Chair Wardell.
Man, I don't know what everybody's complaining about.
We got open sky, fresh air.
Yeah, they complaining a lot or a little?
Uh, medium.
Either way, beats the days of the Tail.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Hey.
- Shit. Hey. - Hey, hey, hey!
Hey!
Cut it out!
Hey, break it up! Boki, Drop him!
- No! - Put him down!
Shit.
All right, hey, hey. Stop, stop!
What is wrong with y'all?
He doesn't pay attention.
He almost killed me with beam!
Well, you weren't looking, you bloody Frankenstein.
- Back up. - He's drunk. He's drunk.
- I'm not drunk. - He's always drunk!
Hey! All right!
We don't have time for this shit!
We are so close to finishing this bridge!
Look at you, man. You're a mess.
Go get yourself stitched up.
This is not the paradise we were promised.
Try not to use this hand for a few days.
If you make a fist, it'll rip the stitches, OK?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Wanna tell me what happened?
Not really, no.
I hear the bridge is almost done.
I don't understand why we're trying
to reunite with those people.
What do you mean, Snowpiercer?
Yeah.
Well, some of our friends are still on that train.
Yeah, not mine.
Well, if you have any issues,
you can always bring them up at the Council, Town Hall.
Hey, they have music there sometimes.
You used to play the piano, right?
Yeah, something, in the Nightcar.
Maybe if it comes back, you can play again.
Thank you for this.
Am I late?
Welcome, everyone, to tonight's meeting
of the council of New Eden.
Let the minutes show that all members are present save one.
Yeah, what's Alex up to tonight?
She was up in the hill earlier today.
I don't know if she's back.
Checking the readings?
She didn't say.
All right.
I move that we declare Alex's chair vacant again.
Agreed? - Hey, it's her loss.
Agreed.
Right, the main issue on the docket tonight
is the strain on our already limited resources
should Snowpiercer return.
I just--I was thinking that while we have
this very serious discussion about survival...
- Ah. - We live a little.
Yes!
Ah, come on, it's been a while.
I defer to the council chair.
Oh, fine. Chair agrees.
Let's do it.
- Ruth, say when. - When.
- Say when. - When. You don't listen!
All right.
Yay, your move.
It's hold 'em.
And just for this one hand, if you will indulge me,
kings are wild.
- All right. - Just the way they like it.
Shh, Jos, keep our business out the street, babe.
Hey, Mr. Sprinkles. You miss me?
What I'm saying is that rigging up
a geothermal heat exchanger for a whole town
is not that simple.
But Snowpiercer's return will only make it more complicated.
It's more shelters to build, more mouths to feed,
more energy to generate.
Yeah, but if we can get geothermal and solar
running 20% of the grid by winter
and then Big Alice running the rest,
it'll be cold, but we won't freeze to death, I think.
I see your 5 and raise you 10.
- Huh, huh. - Ooh.
He's holding aces.
Snowpiercer comes with its own resources, too.
It's got more Ag-Sec, more equipment, larger workforce.
Yes, but the pocket that we inhabit is only so large.
Maybe there isn't room for both trains.
I don't know if you guys noticed,
but Javi isn't even paying attention.
He's killing us. - I noticed.
He always does.
Fold. - Solid choice.
All right, Mr. Roche.
I call.
Let's see it.
Check that out right there.
- No! - Pair of 3s.
No!
- No! - 3s? 3s!
He came at him with 3s!
How!
How do you do it, Mr. Vegas?
- It's all magic. - Nope.
You want the truth?
No, lie to me. Yes, the truth.
So when I was a kid,
I worked with my cousins at a restaurant in Monteria.
But after work, we'd go to the back room,
play cards all night.
By the time I was 16, I was able to read everyone.
I read their pistas--
clues. Read their clues.
Oh, you mean their tells?
Yes, I read your tells.
OK, what's my pista?
Your pistas, Layton,
on a good hand, you lean back on your chair,
all slow-like.
You're super dramatic.
What about Mr. Roche here?
Mr. Roche, you check your whole cards twice
just to make sure. - What?
Yeah. And you, Josie, you play with your hair.
Exactly. Like that.
Ruth... Ruth, you're the easiest.
On a bad hand, your left eyebrow will go up.
You'll raise it. Just your left.
- I'm gonna start watching now. - I told you this.
I can't play with you guys anymore.
Whoa, what happened?
Well, if Ag-Sec lose power--
Yeah, I'm on it.
I'll count your chips for you.
Qué carajo?
If this is some kind of joke, it's not funny.
Feel that? - Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm? - Maybe.
Mm.
All right.
Mm.
Yeah, well, I think Dr. Headwood's treatment
is working quite well.
Yeah?
Now can we kill the lights?
Mm-hmm.
Javi thinks it was an accident,
but who goes fumbling around the back of town hall
and trips over a power cord?
You want to talk about this now?
Not everyone loves the idea of Snowpiercer coming back.
Ugh.
What if somebody is trying to send us a message?
Then somebody is gonna have to get over it.
Come on!
I mean, it's not about the train.
It's about the people.
Every day I wonder about Miles,
How tall he's got, where he is.
Mm.
Ben, too.
Melanie, not so much.
Come here.
How long have those power relays been
giving you and Javi problems?
You can go and talk to Javi about that right now,
or we can stay here and get naked.
Yeah, that's my bad.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Can anybody hear me?
New Eden to Snowpiercer. Do you copy?
Is any--there?
Snowpiercer, do you copy?
Come on, come on.
Mel, this is Javi.
Ben, do you copy?
Can you take a step?
You take a step for Daddy?
One step for Daddy. No?
Will you do it for Gibby?
One step for Gibby?
Don't worry. It'll happen.
- Ah. - Ah.
Hey, mama's.
Oh, I don't know why I'm trying so hard.
One day, she's taking her first steps.
The next day, she's walking right out that door
in that cold, scary world.
Will you stop it?
Whatever comes, Liana will be ready.
She's a fighter.
Mm-hmm. Just like her mother.
Just like her father.
Hey, I patched Oz up after that tussle he had with Boki.
I heard you were the one who broke it up.
Yeah. Oz has got issues.
Ha!
What made him leave town and move up on the mountain?
He didn't tell me.
But every day he's up there, the weirder he gets.
Yeah?
I think you're right.
We're gonna try it again!
We're gonna try it again. All right.
- Baby. - Give me your hand.
Come on.
Can you--oh, oh, oh!
That was a step!
That was a step, you genius!
- You did it, baby! - She walked with me.
You saw it.
I saw it. I admit it.
That was for-- that was definitely a--
Who's there?
Show yourself.
Hey, did you hear that radio call?
It sounded to me like it got cut off.
Josie went out to check the relay already.
Javi, I'm busy right now. I can't talk, actually.
It's Snowpiercer.
I think they just tried to make contact
for the first time in a year.
All right, look, Alex,
I know you've got your own thing going on.
But you're on the council.
And we have a lot of responsibility.
Power, comms, water, Ag-Sec, you name it.
Yep. I was running Big Alice when I was nine, so.
And you're a genius.
I know that. We all know that.
The fact that you figured out
how Big Alice could generate power on low idle is like--
Nobel Prize-winning stuff.
I was going to say impressive, but OK.
Thing is...
Snowpiercer is coming into comms range.
It could be already.
And that includes your mother.
Out of all people, don't you want to reach her?
Javi, stick to the science. Stay away from the personal.
Not very good at it. OK?
Layton.
Josie.
Javi thinks he just heard Snowpiercer on the comms,
but the signal dropped out.
But I mean, if they're in communications range,
that means they're closing in on the track switch.
Well ahead of schedule.
But the bridge isn't done yet.
If Snowpiercer's that close--
Look, we need to fix the relays first.
They can't come here if they don't know we exist.
Do you think you can get up there, Josie?
See if that relay's the reason we lost the signal?
Yeah. I'll go and suit up.
The other relay, though,
it's six, seven hours' trek away?
Yeah. I'll get Boki.
- Quick as you can. - I'm on my way.
Hey, guys.
Hey, Z. - Yo.
You seen Boki?
He never showed up this morning.
Hey, neither did Oz.
Whoa, hey, what did we say about ripping those stitches?
Yeah.
You need to come by the clinic and get them redone, OK?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll--I'll try.
Hey, excuse me.
Can I get your attention for a minute?
I'm looking for Boki. Anybody seen him?
- Who? - Big guy.
Yeah.
I saw him coming out of the Engine earlier.
- He was up at Big Alice? - Yeah.
He had a small crate with him.
Looked like he was heading up into the hills.
All right, OK.
Thanks, Lights. - Mm-hmm.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Could the rock have fall off a cliff or something?
Uh, even with the winds the way they've been, I doubt it.
But this is why we lost signal this morning.
Power issues, broken relays.
Did you ever find Boki?
He was up at the Engine today.
Javi, Alex say anything to you about that?
No.
She talks more to Mr. Sprinkles than she does to me.
I'm sorry. Mr. Sprinkles?
Her pet bird.
She's using him to get some climate data.
She keep him in a little box?
Yeah, usually. Why?
No, just something Lights said.
Boki's not our guy. Hey, I think this was sabotage.
Things can't have got that bad.
You said it yourself. The town's been grumbling.
We can discuss this tonight at town hall,
and maybe discuss stepping up security with Mr. Roche.
Javi, can you and Josie either repair or replace this relay
and get it back on the hillside?
It'll be tight.
But-- - Excellent. Thank you.
Andre, can I have a minute?
In the evening, OK? Thank you, Sean.
Zarah, sorry, but I have to step out for a bit.
Sure.
Will you be back this afternoon?
Yes.
I--Boki needs another skin treatment.
I'll be back after that. - OK.
Oz was supposed to stop by to get his stitches redone,
but he never came.
So I'm going to head up to see him later.
You're a kind soul.
This is not the normal town drama.
There is something else going on.
And you really think it's related
to Snowpiercer coming back?
Maybe?
I don't know.
We voted to fix the bridge a long time ago,
so why fight it now?
Devil's advocate?
Resentment is a powerful thing.
The feeling is that we risked everything coming here.
Snowpiercer didn't.
They chose to move on.
So why should they share the reward
when we took all the risk?
Let them live with their choice.
Is the devil's advocate talking, or Ruth Wardell?
We both have friends on that train.
Friends we'd like to see again.
Yeah.
Right, well, my opinion, it's not a protest.
Protesters want to be seen and heard.
This is different.
This is more like they're testing us
to see how we're going to respond.
So the question is, what next?
Times like these,
I bet you really regret stepping down.
Not even a little bit.
Getting to spend all this time with Liana?
Wouldn't change it for the world.
I am a changed man, Ruth.
And if the town needs its wartime general back?
They already have theirs.
The people elected you, Ruth.
And there is not a better person to lead them right now.
All right, I'm going to go talk to Alex,
see if she can tell us where Boki's at.
Hey, Sam. Hey.
Oh. Sorry, I'm on patrol.
Just checking in. Did I wake Liana?
It's OK.
I was about to wake her anyway.
No, no, no, you know rule six of being a parent
is never wake a sleeping kid.
Yeah, but I gotta go up the mountain to see Oz.
I have to drop her with Andre.
No, no, no. Let her sleep. I'll watch her.
Uh, that's OK. Don't worry about it.
Please, I'd be thrilled.
Do you know how much I missed this stage with Carly?
Back before back tattoos became the topic of conversation?
You sure? I won't be gone long.
Please let me watch her. Go.
Thanks, Sam. Right, see you.
Hello?
Hey.
Missed you at the meeting last night.
And the last three before that.
I don't have time to play card games
with you guys right now.
Ouch, officially offended.
I'm just busy, OK?
Melanie said that big minds should solve big problems.
Mm, so your pet bird qualifies as a big problem now?
First of all,
Mr. Sprinkles is a dedicated scientific collaborator.
Second of all, how do you know about him?
You saw Boki?
No, I wish.
We could have used him today to go check on the far relay,
but you sent him on an errand.
So when will he be back?
Later tonight.
Also, it's not an errand.
He's going to the edge of the pocket
to get me data on magnetic fields,
barometric pressure, seismographic readings.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
We're having earthquakes.
We've been having them.
They're small and they're sporadic,
but they're real and they're concerning.
And I'm trying to figure out if the atmospheric erosion
is a corollary of the quakes.
There's something that's missing in the field.
There's something that doesn't make sense.
Yeah, there's a lot of that going around.
Audrey?
Audrey, what happened to you?
They're coming.
Audrey!
Whoa, Oz, it's me.
It's just me.
Sorry.
Can you just get inside?
What's wrong?
Sorry, I just thought you were someone else.
Who?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Those are a mess. We need to take care of them.
You came all the way up here just for me?
What?
Why would you do that?
Maybe because I know what it's like
to be an outsider, to be constantly misjudged.
Know what it feels like to be so consumed by fear
and just basic survival that you forget
what you're supposed to be living for.
I can't live down there in the bloody train.
No one's asking you to.
Just tell me what happened.
We stopped moving.
Yeah, that's a good thing, isn't it?
When you stop moving,
the past catches up, piles on top of you.
So climb out from under it.
- Ah. - Sorry.
When we're done here, come with me.
People are gathering at the town hall
to talk about Snowpiercer's return.
They're not coming back. Ever.
Snowpiercer's gone.
They're all dead.
All right. Thanks, everyone.
Has Snowpiercer answered back?
Thank you all for coming. I know you all have questions.
Questions about some recent events.
But before I take those questions,
I'd like to take a moment
to express the council's gratitude
for your tireless efforts to complete the trestle bridge.
Really.
Congratulations on a job well done.
It's been a long time since we've seen our friends
on Snowpiercer, hasn't it?
Well, the day is fast approaching
when we get to see them again,
to reunite, hug our friends, and show them that
the risks we took coming here were worth it.
John, you're not making sense.
What voices?
First, there were just these whispers in the wind
in the middle of the night.
But if you listen, you can hear them.
Sound carries in the mountains,
and the drinking doesn't-- - No, no, it's not that.
I'm not drunk. I'm not crazy.
I was married to a psychopath,
so I know what crazy sounds like.
That's not this. - Please, just calm down.
Something happened on that train.
Something awful.
I don't know who's responsible for all of it.
What are you talking about? Who?
It's LJ.
She won't-- she won't leave me alone.
Come, come with me.
Come.
Now--now just-- just listen.
Oz, I know how destructive LJ was.
Just--just please, just be quiet.
If Snowpiercer returns,
you don't have to deal with her.
They're not returning, I've just told you!
Oz I'm trying to help you, but you need to calm down.
No, You listen! Just listen!
All is not forgiven.
We're just as guilty as they are, all of us.
They're already here.
They're haunting this place
because we made it and they didn't.
I'm sorry, I have to go.
Sorry. - Can you just wait?
Zarah!
See you brought the Aloha gear.
I tried to give Ruth a smile tonight.
That's good.
I kind of missed the Aloha Javi.
He knew how to have fun.
Well, so did Alex.
- Did I? - Hey, we need some help here!
Can somebody make some room? We need help!
- Gotcha. - Yeah.
I gotcha.
- Zarah? - God!
Dr. Headwood?
Yeah, it's Audrey.
She showed up on a track scaler.
She's in really bad shape.
All right, everybody.
We need the room, please. - Go get her some water.
- Quick as you can, can you? - What happened to her skin?
I don't know. She showed up like this.
She said someone was coming.
- Audrey? - Dr. Headwood?
Audrey.
Oh, not this again.
I thought you fixed the cable.
I did.
Javi, Alex, get the power back on.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
The power, the relays, someone is not coming.
They are already here.
They've been here.
Who?
Where--where is Zarah?
Why isn't she-- I need to find Liana.
Out of the way!
Audrey?
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Can you say Roche? Can you say Roche?
Yes, hello.
Can you say Roche?
Yes.
Hey, Doc Headwood. How you been?
- Evening. - Oh, don't worry, doc.
Everything's going to be OK. Probably just a loose cable.
I'm very sorry, Mr. Roche.
- Layton! - Hey.
Layton. I just saw--
Yeah, a track scaler. I know.
Miss Audrey was inside. - What?
Yeah, she's in bad shape.
I took her up to the town hall, but she needs a doctor.
No, no, no, no. Miss Audrey? Just stop. Stop.
One thing at a time.
I didn't see a track scaler. I saw a snowcat.
- What? - Yes.
On the other side of the mountain.
It was a-- a transport or something.
We haven't got one of those.
Neither does Snowpiercer.
Zarah, where are you?
Zarah?
Layton.
Oh, sh--hey, hey, Sam.
Sam, come on, buddy.
He's got a pulse.
Liana?
Liana.
Dr. Headwood? - Zarah.
Who is that with you?
Remain calm.
Everything's going to be all right.
Give me my daughter.
Zarah, stop, stop!
He is a friend, Zarah. He's a friend.
Give me my daughter. Now!
No, don't--don't-- don't--don't fight!
Zarah, don't fight with him!
Give her to me now!
Get off of me.
Please, Zarah, I am trying to help you.
Zarah, don't fight with him.
Give me my daughter!
Stop fighting with him, please.
- Dr. Headwood! - Please stop this.
- Just stop. - Get off of me!
Give her to me! - Zarah!
We stemmed the bleeding,
but he never woke up.
He needs help.
God. How the hell did this happen, Andre?
Look, just get a nurse. Go to the clinic.
I'm going to round up volunteers to search the hills.
Josie's already up there. I need everybody, Ruth.
- I'll get her. - Everybody.
Zarah!
Who's that?
It's Bojan Boscovic. You must come with me.
Please. Hurry.
Yeah.
It's her back.
I did not want to move her.
Zarah?
Zarah, Zarah, it's Josie.
Can you hear me?
What? - Hey.
Liana.
They took Liana.
Who took her? Liana.
Headwood.
And a stranger.
Not one of us. Not one of us.
- OK. - Liana.
Take care of Liana.
We will.
Josie's there.
Mm-hmm.
Can't feel anything.
I'm right here.
Everyone pan out. Javi, you go east.
Alex, you take the north hills. They're out there somewhere.
Layton.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Zarah! Zarah!
She was at the bottom of a cliff.
She was almost gone when we reached her.
I'm sorry.
Where's Liana?
I don't know.
Where is she?
It was Headwood and a stranger.
I don't know, Layton.
I--Layton.
Layton, they--they've gone.
They had a vehicle.
You'll die if you go out there.
Listen to me, it's too late!
It's too late, Layton.
Layton, it's too late.
Layton.
I'm going to find who took Liana.
And I'm going to kill him.
Whatever it takes.
Who are you guys? What's going on?
Put your guns down!
Admiral Anton Milius,
International Peace Keeping Forces.
Survivors.
Everyone remain calm.
Everyone except you two.
You're taking me to Melanie Cavill.
- Layton. - Yeah.
They took the train.
Attention! The new passengers want you to know
