Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (2024) s01e01 Episode Script
A Single Step
1
She must've taken
the other path. Go!
Sh!
Did you hear that? This way!
House of the Jaguar.
It is real.
Roth.
I found it.
Pinpointing your location.
I'll meet you there.
Good job, Lara. I'm proud of ya.
Spiked pit. Classic.
And I bet
Oh, there it is! Certain death.
Hmm.
Ah
Hah!
Hmm huh?
"A nice holiday in Chile," he said.
"It'll be fun," he said.
"Just a small stop-off for treasure."
Ugh.
Oh, Dad.
I wish you could see this.
Strange. It looks Chinese.
Did you kill an alligator?
Roth!
Oh!
I'll be damned.
You did it, Lara.
Everyone thought my father was crazy
to think that the Chachi people
came this far south, but he was right.
Richard Croft was always right.
Just like you.
El regalo de los dioses.
Legend has it, the box makes any man
who touches it instantly wealthy.
Well, don't mind if I do.
Ah.
This box is old, right?
When did you say this place was built?
Around 900 BCE.
2,000 years before Machu Picchu.
Ah!
It has no seams.
No visible locking mechanisms.
Roth.
I'm not sure we should be taking this.
They're only carvings, Lara.
Just like your father, always looking for
treasure to be more exciting than it is.
Uh. You're right. They're just carvings.
You did it, girl.
You finished an adventure
your father started.
A true Croft. Oh, he'd be so proud of ya.
As I am.
When I told my classmates
I was going to Chile,
they gave me a list of wine tasting
and kayaking tours.
Well, there's still time.
I've never tried wine tasting before.
It could be fun.
- Oh my God.
- All right.
He says the box
will only bring death and destruction.
You sure you wanna do this, fellas?
He says to leave it, or they'll kill us.
Not a chance.
Roth, I don't think they're marauders.
I think they're protectors.
Don't let 'em fool you, girl.
They want our treasure.
On your left!
Thank you. Duck!
Roth!
Lara.
Keep your eyes closed.
Keep 'em closed.
Don't move.
I said don't move!
Lara. It's okay.
You're okay.
Lara. I'm sorry you had to see that.
Lara, look at me.
Lara, it was you or him.
And when that's the choice,
you damn well better survive.
You hear me?
Say it.
Survive.
Ha ha!
Still undefeated!
Who's the best of all time?
That's right!
No!
Good job, my friend.
Feliz Navidad!
What?
Happy Christmas.
Feliz Navidad!
Lara?
Uh Jonah.
What country are you in now?
Uh, um
It's been six months
since you've come home.
We've talked about this.
You said you would spend Christmas here.
With Abby and me.
Try to restart.
- That's not home.
- What?
Nothing. Jonah, I'm fine.
I don't need to restart.
I just need to keep going.
Look. Roth is dead, Lara.
You can't keep
beating yourself up about this.
I'm not asking you to be
the person you were before all that.
I know that's not possible.
Loss changes us permanently.
But you can't rebuild yourself
by running away.
You build by coming home,
and letting your friends help you.
I I'm
I can't. I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
What's that woman doing?
It's a Pachamama ceremony.
She lost her husband last month,
so she is burning all his things.
She must discover who she is now,
without him.
Start anew.
Oh
You can do it.
After all, you're a Croft.
Roth.
Turns out I'm not the Croft
you thought I was after all.
It's Lara's fault
we're all out here in the first place.
It's Lara's fault Roth's dead.
Mm.
Uh, the dust in here
is really messin' with my allergies.
Hey, little bird.
Jonah, Zip.
What are you doing here?
You tripped the alarm.
You wired my father's house?
It's your house now, Lara.
Someone had to watch things
while you were God knows where.
I nominated myself.
Lara, wh what is all this?
I'm burning it all to the ground.
Wait. No. Not literally, right?
My father's things. Roth's.
It's all going.
She means like an auction, right?
Not, like, exploding things.
If this is what you need to restart,
then we'll help.
But for the love of all that is holy,
order us a pizza or somethin'.
I'mma need carbs
if I'm liftin' heavy today.
You want one of us to stay?
No, no. I'm fine, Zip. Thank you.
Sam didn't want to come?
Uh
- She said she was busy.
- Right.
- You could just call her, you know.
- Good night, Jonah.
Good to have you back.
Roth!
It's them!
No! Roth! No!
Lara?
- Are you okay?
- Sam.
Is she okay?
Because it's all about Lara, isn't it?
Have you forgotten
that she's the reason we're here, Sam?
That's not fair, Reyes.
No. She's right.
No. Sam.
You killed Roth.
- You'll probably get us all killed.
- No!
- You killed Roth!
- Killed Roth.
It's Lara's fault Roth's dead!
Roth's dead.
Wh
You're a poison, Lara Croft.
It's all your fault!
No!
All of her father's artifacts.
Lord Croft is probably
rolling in his grave, poor man.
Why are we freezing out here
and not inside?
I hear the place has been vacant
since he died.
Croft girl refuses to move in.
Ugh. What a waste.
Children are so ungrateful.
Uh, is Lady Croft here?
Who?
Oh, Lara. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's probably
hiding in the corner, wallflowering.
Hit me!
Um You Wait No I'll go find her.
You, um wait wait right here.
Uh exactly exactly right here.
Ahem.
- Uh what the holy cow, Lara?
- Mm!
What?
They're starting the stuffy speech part.
You you know, about givin' away
all your dad's things to rich white folks.
Mm.
Love your dress.
Thank you! It has pockets!
The museum is eternally grateful
for your generous donation, Lady Croft.
Conrad Roth was a god amongst men.
I can't do this.
Yes, you can.
Right. I'm sure you're all eager
to get to the auction.
I'm gonna be sick.
All right, all right, all right.
Steady now.
- Steady now. Ah!
- Mr Croft and his confrere
I'mma get you somethin' to help.
- I'll be right back.
- Conrad Roth.
An inspiration, I think, to us all.
The old fart doesn't understand.
None of them do.
Excuse me?
This isn't charity.
You giving everything away.
It's a bullet to the brain.
To try to make it stop.
Memories. Bad and the good.
I bet they all want you to move on,
to let go
but family,
they never leave us
and maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe it makes us different.
Hmm.
Maybe it's what drives us.
their legacy lives on
through these precious artifacts.
We should all wish to be so bold.
Yes.
We should all wish to be so bold.
Catch me, Uncle Roth!
Oh! You're almost gettin' too big
for that, little lady.
I know you'll always catch me.
Drop it now,
and I won't call the police.
Ah!
The adventure
behind this particular artifact
is quite thrilling.
Thief! Stop him!
You ducking out early?
Faux pas, isn't it? Stay awhile.
Hmm!
- Zip?
- I'm here. What's goin' on?
A thief stole something from the house,
and I want to know why.
You put trackers on everything, right?
Can you find him?
Can I find him? Please, girl.
Looks like he's heading towards the river.
Uh, turn right. Now!
I see him.
He's heading down the side roads.
I'm going to cut him off.
No no. You'll catch up
if you stay on the main drag.
That car cannot take those village turns.
Lara, don't! It's too risky!
You know, sometimes, I swear,
it's like I'm talkin' to a brick wall.
Right!
He's almost at the river.
If he gets there, he's gone.
Less commentary, I think.
Please try not to kill yourself.
I stop, and I lose him.
Uh, can we get some light here?
We'd have to pay the power bill
for that, I think.
Hundreds of priceless artifacts out there.
Why take this?
What was it?
A box. I found it with Roth in Chile.
Well, if he got past you,
guy must be a pro.
You're just gonna leave me alone
in this spooky-ass dark mansion.
It's not spooky. It's Jacobean.
Except for all the ghosts.
"Some call it
the Gift of Kings, or God."
"But I've seen other translations
that are more disturbing
that call it the Curse of God."
Hmm.
- I hope you took him out to dinner first.
- Ah
Fine. I'm fine.
I heard about the break-in. She okay?
She lies when I ask.
There was a sister box
somewhere in China.
Roth and my father planned
to find it one day together.
- You heard?
- I did.
You good?
Of course.
Zip, where's the thief going?
You can't be serious, Lara.
It was a stuffy old trinket.
Guy probably wants to sell it.
A Croft collectible.
Let him.
Lara, my wedding is in a few weeks.
- I need you
- Don't say that! It wasn't a trinket!
This was the last thing
Roth and I found together before he
- Lara.
- It's important!
And I know he wouldn't want me
to just let it go.
Like you're the one
to talk about letting go.
Zip, where is he now?
Lara, you just got home.
Um based on the time, trajectory
I'd say he left Heathrow at 8:41.
Headed to Beijing.
He's going after the other box.
Sorry, man.
I don't need your help, Jonah.
We all need help, Lara!
Well I wouldn't worry.
LC is an iron fist.
She'll be all right.
- Right?
- She's changed since Roth died.
The Lara who came back from Yamatai,
it's not the same Lara who went in.
Whoa!
This isn't normal, right?
Definitely not normal.
Uh, no, no, it's all right.
Uh, I'll put out the fire,
uh, clean, lock up. I got it.
You, uh
You stopped listening. All right.
Kill your captain.
Please.
Stop!
You can go about your business.
We are almost at the village.
Oh!
Strange.
There are never storms this time of year.
That is no storm.
That is the dawn of a new era.
Chaos is coming.
She must've taken
