Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Page #2

completely eludes me.

I've never seen anything quite

so beautiful that I know so little about.

This is a pleasurable torment.

My ignorance amuses me.

"My ignorance amuses me. "

Yes, I've always found your ignorance

quite amusing.

- Powell, however, is not ignorant.

- No?

No. He's a liar.

- Anything you need?

- No, thank you, Hillary.

- Don't you stay up too late.

- I won't.

Alpha team, cover the front.

Forward team, wait for my command.

We are in position,

awaiting your order.

Bastards!

Bloody hell!

On the left!

Come on, Simon.

Come on!

Lara, are you there?

Pick up!

Lara, are you OK?

Bryce, I'm in the equipment room.

They're stealing my clock!

I know.

- Bryce, you have to be my eyes.

- Right, are you armed?

After a fashion, yes.

All right, three bad guys. Number one,

standing by the Aston Martin.

Right.

Bingo!

- Next.

- OK, number 2,

crouched by the McLaren.

Oh, bugger!

- Are you OK?

- I just found my car keys.

You are done, mate.

Nice one!

- I think they have all gone.

- Well, they got what they came for.

- Sorry about that.

- That's fine.

Hello?

What the hell happened here?

- Good morning.

- Lady Lara Croft?

Yes.

You have something for me?

I woke up this morning

and I just hated everything.

Right. Thanks.

Who is Stribling, Clive

and Winterset?

- Sounds like a bunch of lawyers.

- The are a bunch of lawyers.

- Oh. Well, I'll shut my face again.

- You are nosey.

I'm not nosey. I saw it was a funny name.

I just asked what the name was.

- Lara?

- It's from my father.

It was written before he died and

delivered today as per his instructions.

- Blimey.

- Holy shh...

"To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower

"Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour"

William Blake.

The All-Seeing Eye.

"My darling daughter,

I knew you would figure this out.

"If you're reading this letter,

I'm no longer with you

"and I miss you and love you

always and forever.

"It also means I have failed

"and must place an awful burden

on your shoulders.

"Lara, by now I'm sure you will have

discovered the clock I concealed.

"The clock is the key, Lara.

"It will unlock the hiding place

of two pieces of a sacred icon.

"This is the magical triangle

I told you about when you were little -

"The Triangle Of Light.

But it is no bedtime story.

"It was forged from metal

found in the crater of a meteor

"that had fallen to earth

at the exact moment

"of the previous alignment

of the nine planets.

"The People of the Light

built a great city in this crater

"where they worshiped the triangle

for its ability to control time.

"It gave its possessor a power

that could be used for good or great evil.

"Their abuse of this power

led to the destruction of the city.

"To be sure no man

would ever again wield this power,

"the triangle was split into two pieces

and hid at opposite ends of the earth.

"Lara, do you remember

the jasmine

"that only grows in one temple

on the ancient Khmer trail in Cambodia?

"That is the entrance

to the Tomb Of The Dancing Light,

"where the first half of the triangle

is hidden.

"You must be there at the exact moment

"of the second phase

of the planetary alignment.

"You must hurry, you have very little time.

"As the planets move into alignment,

the world will be in great danger,

"from the secret society

known as the Illuminati -

"devious dangerous men

"who seek to fulfil an ancient prophecy

by reuniting the two halves

"and attaining the triangle's awesome

and terrible powers.

"This you must prevent at all costs.

"So, Lara, I am asking you

to complete my work.

"To find and destroy

both halves of the triangle.

How are you gonna get to Cambodia

and get the clock back in... 15 hours?

I'll be calling in a favour.

What kind of favour?

Well, that is a secret.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Lady Croft, are you on target? Over.

Right on target.

Thank you, boys. Over and out.

Ah, Mr Powell.

How predictable.

Alex West.

What are you doing here?

We have 72 minutes

to the next alignment.

We have to work faster.

Come on, guys!

Come on, guys!

Come on, pull! Pull, it's coming!

Good.

- So, any sign of Lady Croft?

- Not yet.

Lara is overrated. She is good,

don't get me wrong,

but she's in it for the glory.

Whereas I'm in it for the money.

Fortunately.

- Into the belly of the beast.

- And out of the demon's ass.

Jasmine.

Remember, what we're looking for is

hidden not only in space, but also in time.

The clock is the key.

My God.

"Return the eye

into the stone's embrace...

"the wheel of heaven will turn.

"Exhume the light

from its watery grave,

"to receive the gift of heaven

"as you are condemned

to the depths of hell. "

So touch anything

and you get your head chopped off.

We have two minutes, Mr West.

You're the tomb raider, figure it out!

Mr West, tempus fugit.

Yes, time flies.

It's the swords.

Come on guys, get up here.

Give me a hand here.

That's it. Come on, coming down.

I want them all down.

Carry them across the ladders.

Come on, let's hustle!

All right, now slide them

into the slots over there.

We place the clock here

at the exact moment of alignment.

Come on, let's go, move it!

Too slow, ladies, too slow.

Come on!

- That's it.

- Count it down.

- The timing needs to be exact.

- No sh*t.

Cease fire! Hold your fire!

- Keep counting.

- You are making a big mistake.

- Tourist visa?

- No, I'm working.

Is there a good reason

why I just kept you alive?

Yes. That's not the true eye.

- This is the true eye.

- It's not, actually. It's a mirror image.

You're trying to cheat me out of

my little ray of sunshine.

Why would I cheat you? I need you

to get it so I can steal it from you later.

You're bluffing.

Julius, make a mental note.

Kill Miss Croft,

if she attempts any such thing.

Yes, sir.

We can do it my way,

or come back for the next alignment.

You're welcome

to try and kill me then.

In, say, another 5,000 years.

Zero.

I guess she was right.

The log must pierce the urn.

Come on.

It's slowing down.

It's never gonna make it.

Pure light, fire and water.

- Get the clock.

- Got it.

Hold it right there.

- Give it up.

- Are you going to shoot me, Alex?

My phone is wet.

- Lady Croft, how are you?

- Alive.

- And kicking, I hope.

- Yeah, and you?

Superlative. Of course, I digress.

You have my half of the triangle.

And you have my father's clock.

Listen, my dear, without each other

we are quite useless at this point.

We should re-evaluate

our positions.

You and I are in business together.

We should have a business meeting.

You mean you love to have

another opportunity to try and kill me.

Oh, that's harsh.

But perhaps. Wait and see.

Come to Venice, Via Dolorosa.

Wonderful. Bye, then.

Harder.

Here it comes. Hide, everybody.

Look out! It's some sort of machine.

- Hello?

- Bryce it's me.

- Hello?

- Bryce, it's Lara.
