sections in the train.

If we take it, we'll have the upperhand?

We don't even have to

go to the very front.

We control the water...

we control the negotiation.

Excuse me, sorry to bother you there, could

I get you a glass of water to speed this up?

Would you get on with it, man?

You're keeping us all f***ing waiting.

Is it my fault?

You, you are.

Although you've been f***ing

smelling that Kronol shite that...

time is a probably a distant

concept for you, isn't it?

Of course, I do it for the Kronol.

Here we go again. Kronol

this, Kronol that...

Christ almighty man,

do some f***ing work.

You're the one who's giving me this.

Are you thick? That's what you asked

for each time you opened the gate.

Yona? It's Yona right?

How old are you?

17, you're a train baby then?

How about you?

17 years on earth.

17 years in the tail section.

Earth?

What was it like?

I don't remember.

Why?

I don't want to remember

anything before I met Gilliam.

Yona.

Are you clairvoyant?

Clairvoyant? What's that?

You always seem to know

what's behind the gates.

Do you see things in your mind?

Don't open it.

What?

Stop!

Be careful.

You too.

Team 2, move.

Move forward!

We're passing Yekaterina bridge!

We're at the bridge, guys!

10... 9... 8... 7...

5... 4... 3... 2... 1.

Happy new year!

Happy new year!

I hate getting old, I hate it.

Everybody down!

Hang on.

Impact!

Not yet. A second one.

Stay down.

Nam, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

He's high as a f***ing kite.

We're getting closer.

Safe passage.

One, two. One, two.

Happy Yekaterina bridge,

you filthy ingrates.

You people, who if not for

the benevolent Wilford...

would have frozen solid

18 years ago today...

You people...

who would suck up the generous

titty of Wilford ever since...

for food and shelter.

And now,

in front of our hallowed

water supply section no less...

you repay his kindness...

with violent hooliganism.

You scum.

Precisely 74% of you shall die.

My friend, you suffer from a

misplaced optimism of the doom.

This is going to be good.

What? What did he say?

He said you guys are f***ed.

You should beat those sectioners.

There's a tunnel right

after Yekaterina...

A tunnel?

A f***ing long one.

What are you doing? Run.

Everybody down!

Go, go, go!

Chan, get out, get out.

Chan! We need fire!

Chan, bring the fire.

Throw them in the back, we're

gonna get the lights here.

Chan, the matches.

We will crush you, motherfuckers!

Officer Fuyu!

What are you doing? Don't

look at me. Get them.

Put me down, stop squeezing my leg.

Surrender! Surrender!

Surrender, he'll kill

me if we don't surrender.

Sure.

Curtis!

Stop!

Stop everybody!

Drop your weapons!

Stop!

Everybody stop!

Do what he says, for crying out loud.

Drop your weapons!

Don't look.

Survivors.

Wash yourselves.

The water supply section...

Wash away the blood.

Have you seen these kids?

I don't know anything about...

Where are they, you b*tch?

I don't know, it's not me.

Tell us or we'll cut

your arm you bastard.

Wilford knows.

Wilford likes kids.

He does.

That's why he sent that yellow

worm cloth to get them for him.

It's Wilford you want, not me!

Wilford likes kids?

All he cares about is

his wretched engine.

The engine is sacred.

And Wilford is divine.

Wilford is merciful.

Call him.

See if he'll come save you.

Yes.

Wilford the merciful.

Call him.

He won't come here, he

won't leave his engine.

We're gonna rip you into little

pieces, he still won't come?

When we control the water and

turn that off, he'll have to come.

Turn off the water?

Well, you'll only be

condemning your own people.

The water comes from the front.

The nose of the train, it breaks up the

snow and ice and turns it into water.

Like an elephant's trunk.

The water comes in the mouth.

Not in the bum, Curtis.

Yes, Wilford knows you

well, Mr Curtis Everett.

He's been watching you.

And we know you won't

harm your own people.

Too bad you couldn't save your second

in command, what was his name? Edgar?

Shut the f*** up!

Mr Curtis, I can help you.

You can f***ing die, is what you can do.

No, I can help you. I swear it.

Listen to me.

Wilford won't come

here. He's not coming.

You've got to go to him.

And I can take you.

I know the train, I can

guarantee you safe passage.

Why the f*** would I trust you?

Because I want to live.

So you'd sell out

Wilford the Benevolent?

If I take you to the front...

you have to kill him.

I'll get you close enough.

You kill him and let me live.

Curtis?

You still determined to push ahead?

Of course.

We're not even half way.

You already got further

than anyone else.

Further than McGregor, 4 years ago.

10 cars, 20 cars, it doesn't matter

unless you make it to the engine.

They'll just regroup and attack us

again. We gotta pull them up at the roots.

So many have been killed.

We've lost so many.

I know.

You seen our men?

They are exhausted.

I told them to wash themselves...

so I can assess the damage.

Let me go ahead.

I got Mason now, I

can move a lot faster.

You stay here with the wounded

and guard the prisoners.

When we take the Engine,

I'll call for you to lead us.

Stop it, Curtis.

Why are you doing that?

You know very well that

you're already our leader.

You have to accept that.

How can I lead if I have two good arms.

It's faded out.

Better to have both arms...

You can't do a lot with one, you know?

Especially when you hold a woman.

Much better to have two

arms, wouldn't you agree?

When you get to the narrow bridge...

big gate with a W on it.

Wilford's behind that.

Don't let Wilford talk.

Cut out his tongue.

Okay, let's all get

in there. Squeeze in.

Perfect, perfect.

The hat becomes you well.

Now Grey...

You must go with Curtis.

Oh, forgot somebody.

Okay.

Kronol.

Don't mind me, back to

work everyone. Back to work.

Minister, are you okay?

I'm okay.

Please don't eat it...

They're very friendly, they won't bite.

They might bite a tomato, though.

You can eat this too?

A train baby wouldn't know about this.

I grew up walking over it.

This is located under the snow.

Of the earth.

What is this?

It moves.

Underground.

What does this mean?

Do any of you feel like sushi?

Hell yeah... line that sh*t up.

Right?

You people are very lucky.

This is only served twice in a year.

In January and July.

Why? Not enough fish?

Enough is not the criteria.

Balance.

You see, this aquarium is

closed ecological system.

And the number of individual units...

must be very closely,

precisely controlled.

In order to maintain the

proper sustainable balance.

No, you eat this.

You know what that's made of?

Dig in.

Curtis, my friend, do

you think that we might...

dispense for the restraint

for this next section?

I'm not your friend. And why would I?

For the sake of the young?

Education?

Quiet!

Good morning, children.

I'm pleased to present

guests from tail section.
