Snowpiercer

Good day.

On this day, July 1st 2014...

at this hour, 0600...

we are at the very first

airport in the world...

...topic of so much controversy

over the past 7 years...

has continued development.

Protests from environmental groups and a

number of developing countries continue.

...It had been claimed the CW7

is the answer to global warming.

And we are witnesses.

...Leaders who argue that global

warming can no longer be ignored.

Today, 79 countries will

began dispersing CW7...

in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

...And surprisingly bring down

the average global temperatures...

It is just a day away that...

...According to scientists...

the artificial cooling substance CW7...

will succeed in bringing average global

temperatures down to manageable levels.

As a revolutionary solution to

mankind's warming of the planet.

Head check.

Alright, get in line.

Everybody sit down.

One, two, three...

four, five, six...

Keep going.

Go on.

Hey you, sit down.

Curtis, sit down.

Sit down.

I said sit down!

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Counting.

Can't you sit and count? You

want to get shot? You're crazy.

Shut up, Edgar. I'm thinking.

Are there any experienced

violinists here?

Raise your hands.

Violinist!

Stand up, come forward.

Food, come and get it.

Violinist, they're having a laugh.

Those bastards in the front

sections think they own us.

Eating their steak dinner and

listening to string quartets.

Will be different when we get there.

I want steak.

Excuse me, sir.

My wife and I played violin in

the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

I was first chair.

Can you still play?

Well of course, you never forget.

Show me your hands.

You, follow me.

Leave your belongings,

we just need your hands.

Not both?

Yes, both hands.

My wife Doris plays beautifully.

Better than me, even.

They just need one person.

Then I won't go.

Doris, Doris...

Sit down, everyone.

Sit down.

- They can't just...

- Sit down.

Those f***ing bastards.

Now isn't the time.

Well, when is the time?

Soon.

Doris.

I'll be back, Doris. It's alright.

I'll come back.

What does steak taste like again?

I had it once, but I can't remember.

If you can't remember

then it's better to forget.

What does it smell

like when it's cooked?

It must emanate around the place.

Curtis. Is this it?

It's not it.

Sorry.

Curtis, here!

Timbo!

How's it hanging, buddy?

Give me a pow.

Hey listen.

I think I need that protein block.

How about I trade you,

this one for that one?

No.

Nice bargaining power, Curtis. Here,

give me this one, I'll give you that...

Relax, relax...

Come here, Timmy.

Come right...

I have an idea.

I'll give you this one

and that one for that one.

- What do you say?

- No.

Go get him.

Timmy!

Timothy, your mom is gonna

give you a darn good spanking.

Where the f*** he went?

Hey, come here. Give it to me.

Hi Jose, how are you doing?

Timmy! Work with me here.

Edgar, why did you let him get up there?

No I didn't, he got up there

by himself. He's very nimble.

- He's 5.

- He's a very nimble 5 year old.

Timmy, sweetie, come down.

Come here.

What do you want for it?

In the whole wide train?

In the whole wide train.

The ball.

The ball? No.

No, I'm sorry I can't

do that. I can't do that.

Yes, I get the ball for a whole hour.

Done.

Curtis. Is it time?

Not yet, Tanya. Soon.

Red paper?

Yeah, it's the one

we've been waiting for.

Our informant gave us a name.

N, A, M...

Nam Koong Min Soo.

He's a security expert. He's

in the prison section now.

- Wait, you're joking right? He's in prison?

- Out of here.

- I'm just saying, what kind of

chance do we have... - Edgar.

I just think if this guy says that

he's such a great security expert...

- why can't he just break out himself?

- That's enough! Go.

Let's go, Tim.

Come on, let's go.

Edgar just wants to help, you know.

He thinks the world of you.

He shouldn't worship me the way he

does. I'm not who he thinks I am.

Few of us ever are.

Alright, we're here.

Tail section, quarantine

section, prison section.

Gate, gate, gate.

4 seconds when all three

gates are open at once.

We have 4 seconds to go through

three gates and bust Nam out.

Then Nam gets us the rest of the way.

Our fate depends on this man.

Yeah.

If we can get him to cooperate he can take

us all the way to the front of the train.

Very front section?

Yeah.

From here right to

the front of the train.

Everything in one stroke.

We control the engine,

we control the world.

Without that, we have nothing.

All past revolutions have failed

because they couldn't take the engine.

What are you saying?

This time we take the engine.

Then what?

We kill them.

Wilford?

You should run the

train now, not Wilford.

I am a shadow of my former shadow.

My day was decades ago.

How old is Gilliam?

Shut up, Edgar.

I'm not saying that I want that to

happen, that's not what I'm saying.

What I mean is he will die someday.

And when that happens, you're

gonna have to take over.

You're gonna have to run the train.

I'm not a leader.

I don't know.

I think you'd be pretty

good if you ask me.

Hey, Edgar.

How far back can you remember?

I don't know, like what?

Your mother, you remember her?

I can remember a face...

every once in a while.

But it's not clear.

Stay down, everybody.

- Everybody stay in your place.

- F***ing look at me.

Keep down, keep down.

- Medical inspection. Just the kids.

- All the kids come with me.

It's a medical check up.

You're doing good.

Everybody, all the kids.

- All the kids? - You too.

- That's right, just come.

Stay back there, ma'am.

Just stay back there.

Alright, one more.

Yup, come on.

You need to go.

It's just a medical check

up. You just stay back there.

Come on, that's right.

Come with the others, okay.

You, go and check.

- Don't move.

- Go, Timmy!

Timmy!

That's her baby!

Andy!

Give me back my son.

Give me my son, you f***ing b*tch!

Andy!

Let him throw his shoe.

- Timmy!

- Tim!

At this altitude, we

need only 7 minutes.

7 minutes allotted for your speech, sir.

This is so disappointing.

No no, we don't need all

that, we only got 7 minutes.

Passengers...

This is not a shoe.

This is disorder.

This is size 10 chaos.

This, you see this? This is death.

In this locomotive we call

home, there is one thing...

that's between our warm

hearts and the bitter cold...

Clothing? Jeans? No, order.

Order is the barrier that

holds back the cold and death.

We must all of us, on

this train of life...

remain in our allotted stations...

we must each of us occupy...

our preordained particulate positions.

Would you wear a shoe on your head?

Of course you wouldn't

wear a shoe on your head.

A shoe doesn't belong in your head.

A shoe belongs on your foot.

A hat belongs on your head.

I am a hat, you are a shoe.

I belong on the head,

you belong on the foot.

Yes? So it is.

In the beginning, order was

prescribed by your ticket.
