Editing Pilot Episode (section)

=== Investigation Begins ===
Back in the Meat Freezer car, Bolger the butcher and Baptiste the head chef investigate the blood in surgical gear, taking small samples. They come out of the car minutes later and tell what they have gathered. Bolger says that because the blood was warm when it hit the meat, it worked it's way deep inside. Bapspite suggests they throw the meat away as Melanie walks downtrain into the cattle car to see poor Jack, sitting next to the cows, mentally drained. Meanwhile, Sayori encourages Asher and Ellie through a door in the passageway with an engineer.

Later in the Night car, Till questions Pixi and Miss Audrey. Pixi doesn't have anything that could help Till and is more worried that she can't go back. Audrey assures her she won't be. Later in the corridor, Till and Audrey talk alone. The two women reflect quietly, unsure of the girl inside. Audrey reminds Till that Pixi doesn't have anything to do with this and that what they do in the Night car isn't entertainment and that it pulls deep. Meanwhile, Pixi lays down on Val's bed as the two are outside.

Bolger and Maki arrive at the aquarium car to talk with Jinju. As they have some tea, Bolger informs her they've lost 200 pounds of beef (because of the blood) and unless they accelerate the butchering, there will be shortages up and down train. Maki suggests if Jinju very slightly increases her customer load for a month she will be able to correct the balance between her and Bolger, but Jinju keeps refusing, telling them that the tank won't allow it. After some sake, Bolger and Maki leave.

Later, Till comes back to car 37. Osweiller hands her the statements, telling everything lines up: They went to the movies and Eduardo went off to practice his violin afterwards while they came back to their car. Till's attention is then drawn to Turner and Cleo as their talk have become less whispery. Cleo wants to say something but Turner and Kadima won't allow her to. Everyone but Bo and Cleo have drifted to separate parts of the car. The strain on this relationship showing. Till and Osweiller leave afterwards before they arrive at a W insignia. Osweiller pulls out and inserts a key in before turning it and pushing on the insignia. It reveals a secret phone as the insignia turns (like the phone in the movie).

As Melanie announces that 2nd and 3rd class will have changes made to this week's menu, Layton is escorted out of the tail by two brakemen. He is stripped in the bio security car before being washed by someone in a has-mat suit by very hot water with a pink disinfectant hue to it. After getting his hair buzzed, he puts on light blue scrubs before being escorted out of the car uptrain. He sees day-light for the first time in 7 years as he is escorted through the corridors.

Layton arrives at the first class dining car, sobering up from Kronole quickly as Maki, Roche and Till is waiting for him there. Roche gives him a tray which Layton uncovers to see a perfect grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. Layton is confused and asks what is going on, Maki signals Till. Till opens the door and Osweiller comes in with a Cleo who's shaking from the palm-sweating guttwist of an ex-lovers’ knife wound rent new in his abdomen. Layton slides Cleo the sandwich but she refuses, telling him that she's not ready to go back in time with him today. Layton seems upset that she used to eat the sandwich and isn't eating it now, but Cleo isn't sure why. Suddenly Layton picks up the bowl and violently guzzles it; half of the hot soup pours down his shirt. He gags and vomits out most of it back onto the table and the other occupants. Cleo puts up a hand saying she's sorry. After observing her, Layton gestures for Cleo to continue. She explains there's 2 people she loved have been killed. Maki mentions that this train has everything you can imagine including a new military that they trained after Layton's mob killed 11 of their security. Layton says he didn't kill anyone and Maki states that's the exact reason they chose him. Layton now realizes why he's here. Darting around the room, his eyes land on Till. He questions her and she answers she was a cop for 3 years at Virginia Beach. Layton springs up to his feet as Till touches his arm as an old habit. He walks over to the glass and smudges "Damon" on it. Layton then walks back to the table before sitting back down in-front of Cleo. He says that he is sorry for Cleo's loss, but he then recounts the 16 tailies that Cleo knew. Cleo then expresses that she doesn't care, as Roche and Maki make eye contant before sending Till and Osweiller to escort Layton back to the tail. Cleo cries silent, angry tears at the table as Maki stands at the window where Layton stood, reading what Layton had smudged. When Maki asks, Cleo answers that Damon is Layton's brother, and that the grilled cheese and tomato soup was his favorite meal. Cleo then proceeds to smash the plate afterwards.
