=== "Breach C56. Breach C56." === Back in one of the 4th class worker's cars, Jack sleeps curled in his bunk as Lilah and LJ sit on the floor, playing gin. Silva, pokes his head into their pod, telling them that he needs Jack before waking him up and walking through car 56 to car 55 with him and Bolger. At the same time, as Till, Osweiller and Layton walk downtrain through one of the agriculture cars, Osweiler stops at a small orange tree. He catches Mrs. Wright’s eye as he points to an orange. After she nods, Osweiller pulls the orange off the tree and hands it to Layton with a perverse casualness. Layton just stays silent and holds the orange as they walk down into the subtrain. However, as Layton contemplates the orange, Till brings the subtrain to a stop, leaving Osweiller confused. They get up and out of the subtrain before heading up and into the butcher car. They find Bolger and Jack sharpening knives and Silva preparing the bolt gun for butchering. They then leave back to car 56 after allowing the trio to have the meat locker car for the time being. Till and Osweiller lead Layton to the scene of the crime, explaining who was murdered as Layton investigates the bodies. He then notices a white bucket with smears of blood at the bottom of it. When he asks if they can test it, Osweiller responds that they have no lab, so they can't. Layton goes back to investigating the bodies and the ruined meat, when Osweiller asks him if whoever did the crime ruined the meat on purpose. Layton doesn't have a clue. As Jack and Bolger struggle with cow 18 with Silva striving down to help them while holding the bolt gun in car 56, Osweiller wraps the bucket in plastic wrap. Layton admits that being a homicide detective is the worst job in the world and that he's not going to help them, but just then, the alarm and voice sounds yet again, telling them to brace. The train had just turned a corner heading straight towards another ice slide, much larger than the last. The train hits the ice slide, a massive impact rocking them to the ground. The cattle car jolts fiercely, sending the men slamming against the window, including Silva, whose bolt gun discharges against the glass, breaking a hole in it. The -140 degree air starts rushing into the car, freezing everything in it's path. Just then things take a turn for worse as the train hits another ice slide, causing the already broken window to collapse entirely now. The cows closest to the metal railings in the car begin freezing to the metal rails. As cow 18 lurches and crushes Bolger between her and metal railings, the alarms in the car go off and the doors shut. Layton, Till and Osweiller struggle to their feet amidst the swinging bodies and beef before rushing over to the butchers car to witness the horrifying scene. Jack and Silva struggle to stand but the floor is slick with ice. Silva's hand gets frozen to a metal railing, and as he tries to pull his hand away, the flesh tears off. Suddenly, 10 breach soldiers arrive, telling the trio to get out of their way. The soldiers race out of the Butcher’s car and head around to the other side of car before entering the cattle car, brutally zapping the animals to try and save them. Meanwhile, another batch of breachmen tell everybody in the 4th class quarters to evacuate to the sub-train through the previous or next car. As the breachmen unseals the door to the 4th class worker's car in one of the industrial cars, some cows stampede into the 4th class residential car, smashing the workers’ pods, destroying living quarters as the 4th class just wait in the subtrain. The breachmen save as much cows as possible, but leave the 3 to die. Seeing this, Osweiller wraps his head and hands in plastic wrap and makes a run into the cattle car, shutting the door behind him just as Layton and Till lock themselves in the meat locker car. Osweiller try to get the breachmen's attention as they leave, but he fails. He then slips as Jack grabs him by the foot, begging to be saved. Jack won't let go. Till runs back into the butcher's car, before sprinting down a side passageway to the other end of the car, where she finds a breach soldier. She pleads him to go back in there, but the soldier refuses. Back in the cattle car, Osweiller gets desparate as Jack is dooming them both. He takes the wrap off of one of his hands and grabs Silva's bolt gun before using it to shatter Jack's hand and his foot. The two men scream, never to be heard over the roars of the murdering wind whipping through the train. Till and Layton yank Osweiller back into the butcher's car. They shut the doors, knowing there's nothing they can do for Jack anymore. All they can do is watch. [[File:Pilot cattle breach.png|thumb]] [[File:Pilot door open.png|thumb]] Osweiler rolls on the ground, blackened by frostbite, what’s left of his pulverized foot dangling ugly behind him. He sobs on frozen lungs, just as another brakemen delivers the 4th class the bad news in the subtrain. As the brakemen give the Andersons 3 minutes to gather their remaining belongings, Till escorts Layton back to the tail. He asks her what they think of the tailies. Till answers, saying that she thinks they're criminals before arriving at the tail. Layton re-enters the tail and goes back over to his familiar spot as Till goes uptrain, not looking back. Fergus goes over to question Layton, before he hands the orange from earlier to him. He then goes over to Josie and gives her a slice of the orange. Josie asks her if it was about Cleo, which Layton answers yes. Though just then, he notices Asher still in the tail. Josie informs her that he didn't pass the test, but the girl did. Just then, the voice of the train announces over PA to the tail that a section of 4th class will be staying as refugees in the tail, and just as the announcement is made, the tail doors open, providing access to the brakemen and the 4th class refugees. Though Layton cringes inside as he sees Fergus get jostled and drop his last section of orange by the refugees. Fergus tries to recover the fruit, but it's smashed underfoot into pieces.
