Papa!
Let me come with you!
I don't need your help.
- Don't do this.
- Please.
Don't go.
Wait! Camilla!
Let her go.
It hurts less that way
if you let 'em go.
Memories.
I bet they all want you to move on.
To let go.
Without revenge and anger driving you,
you are nothing.
Who are you, Lara Croft?
Daji.
You must restore balance.
Return the Stones to Nu'Wa
at the peak of Kunlun Mountain.
Devereaux is too powerful.
I'm not strong enough.
Balance in all things, Lara Croft.
Look inward.
Grief, pain, failure.
Joy, triumph, love.
If you only let one in,
you are imbalanced,
like your father,
like Conrad Roth,
like Charles Devereaux.
You have strength enough,
but you must know who you are
before you can find it.
Who are you?
You're a Croft.
I'm not that kind of Croft.
Hmm.
Lara! Have you seen Lara?
Did she make it? Someone, please!
Jonah! Ah!
Zip, he's awake.
- Am I dead?
- Not yet.
How are you feeling?
Like I got hit by a tornado.
Glad to see you up, brother.
Come on. Let's get some food in you.
The fish is incredible.
I mean, well, obviously.
Fishing village, but
Devereaux came out of that gold tree
wielding tornadoes like Pecos Bill,
and you're eating rice?
Ginger soy fish, actually.
The rice, it's not the star.
I'm devising a plan,
but neither of us can fight him
if we're strung out.
Eat right now. Fight when we're strongest.
That, uh actually makes sense.
Are you sick? Wh what's wrong with you?
LC! Get to a TV, stat!
That's him. Zip, what's under that cloud?
Nada.
An old marine research lab.
But it's been abandoned for years.
He's there.
Zip, update Camilla.
I'd wager a waterslide that's where
she'll find her missing Light members.
I'm on it.
Jonah, I need your help.
Oh uh oh, okay.
All right.
I know I've been terrible
at asking before.
You've never asked.
I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
And I don't want to put you in danger.
But I'd be lying
if I said I didn't need your help.
And I don't want to lie anymore.
Are you crying?
Real men cry real tears.
Of course I'm with you, Little Bird.
Someone needs to make sure
you don't get into trouble.
Well, we'll need to get into
a little trouble.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Uh, look for an old supply train.
Yeah, it should take you
right under the Wall of Death.
If you get
this trunk of junk to run,
I'll never dis your banana puddin' again.
My future wife is a mechanic.
I Wait. What's wrong
with my banana pudding?
It tastes artificial.
Why is this only now coming up?
Because the world is ending.
I barely use any extract.
Maybe add some kind of reduction
Careful.
Lara!
Lara?
Huh?
You must be Jonah.
Jonah Camilla.
Cam Ahem. Jonah.
Aah!
The look of a man
who's heard mixed things.
Uh
What did you find out?
It seems the Portuguese president
is part of the Light.
He defunded the lab to give his cronies
a place to meet in secret,
away from the madding crowd.
Very Bond villain, though, isn't it?
Just once, I would like a secret society
to meet on a beach in Maui.
Focus, Cam.
We believe the heads of the Light
were meeting here for a summit
to launch the next phase of their plan.
Your psycho nemesis stopped them.
We're running out of time.
This way.
He's taken them hostage in the main lab,
but there's a problem.
You could have warned me to bring a parka.
This place could be on fire
in two minutes, or implode.
That's how chaos works.
I'm sorry, implode?
There's another lever
on the other side,
but only access is a wet porch.
And it's also iced over.
Hmm.
This is insane. Tell her.
She's a grown woman.
It's freezing cold down there.
Hence the wet suit.
And dark.
I forgot how it felt
to want to strangle you.
I'll be fine.
Probably.
New record.
That was stressful!
Have you ever heard
of the Gordian worm?
They're born
at the bottom of lakes and ponds.
Born staring up at a sun
they can never get to.
So they allow themselves to be eaten.
And once inside their host,
a cricket, say,
they will infect it
with a powerful neurotoxin.
The cricket will suddenly
stop chirping, eating, moving,
except by permission of the worm.
Until soon,
the cricket will feel only one need.
To dive into deep water and drown itself.
Which is when the worm will hatch
from its lifeless corpse
and begin its work again.
The Light shines on.
There's no head you can cut off here, pal.
There are thousands more like us.
And I'm not here
to cut off your heads.
I'm here to infect your colony.
Wait! The only way to survive
what's about to happen
is to get the Stone staff from him.
If that psycho kills the Light members,
our investigation
will be set back decades.
If we don't get that staff,
the world will be set back indefinitely.
Huh.
On the ground! On the ground now!
Huh?
Uh
- Uh
- Huh?
Get them out of here.
Why won't you just die?
Age before beauty.
Come on! Come on, let's go!
I'll get them out safely.
Go!
My God!
You're both pathetic.
You know the Light will destroy the world.
Yet neither of you are strong enough
to do what must be done.
This guy doesn't even know me.
First impressions are everything.
Well, now I'm insecure.
Lara, what are you doing?
I trusted you.
Lara, stop!
You abandoned me.
Don't make me do this.
You know I love you.
No!
How?
Balance.
As you said,
the Stones themselves are not evil.
Turns out I'm not the weak one, Devereaux.
They would have wanted us to be at peace.
Look, I didn't know
what you'd need.
Water, ice, mountain climbing.
So I packed it all.
And more shells for your shotgun.
You're amazing.
Yeah. Amazing enough to come back to.
Every day for the rest of my life.
Your GPS already has the coordinates.
You sure it's Kunlun Mountain?
Kunlun is the home of the gods.
It's where myth says
Nu'Wa created the Stones.
The myth also says she made it
impossible for humans to get into!
We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Comforting. I put some surprises in there.
Upgraded your grappler.
Should go farther and hold more weight.
Some deodorant, 'cause Lord knows
And
I brought this.
You're going through the mouth of hell
to get to heaven.
Trust me. You're gonna need it.
Hey.
Don't die.
Papa!
Let me come with you!
I don't need your help.
