Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life Page #4

Synopsis: Intrepid British archaeologist Lara Croft has made perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss, an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back from Reiss, Lara recruits Terry Sheridan, a British marine turned mercenary (and her former love interest) to help. The two embark on an adventure that spans continents in an attempt to regain the orb...

...wouldn't the world be a better place

without some of these people?

Well, you can say anything to one person

I can deal with that.

You would have been

welcome in my world.

Piss off.

Shoot her between the eyes,

no mistakes.

A**hole.

I'm going to get you.

Follow me.

all right.

Don't worry.

Bingo! Two one-way tickets

out of Hong Kong.

Parachutes.

Something a little faster.

Come on, Grandma.

The rendezvous point is

You're aware that no one had

ever gone further than one mile?

I'm not.

This way.

Right, you go first.

No, you go first.

I'll go first!!

Holy cow!

Follow her.

Bye Terry. did you see?

I suppose you want to

pay him then, don't you?

What do you get, two,

three, hundred dollars?

$300...expenses.

So this...

...rock is the map.

Yes, it is.

I've never seen anything like it,

have you?

And it's the only way to find that box.

And just think you could take it now.

and walk right out the door.

No, when it does better

actually off the ship faster,

harder to track.

Oh, Croft, do you really think

I would do that to you?

You can break my wrist,

but I'm still gonna kiss you.

That's not exactly what I had in mind but..

Okay.

Why didn't you shoot Reiss?

What?

He must have walked right

past you in the lab.

Why didn't you shoot him?

I didn't have a close shot.

And I had no idea where you were.

I'll inform MI6 of the completion

secret service.

You'll have your money and your life.

Don't waste it.

Darling Croft, this is no time to split off.

Yes it is, before you

make the wrong decision.

Okay you want to leave, go ahead.

But don't pretend this to try and save me.

You're afraid,

afraid you might not pull the trigger.

Afraid of letting your guard down,

of letting anyone in.

I'm not leaving because I couldn't kill you.

I'm leaving because I could.

May I borrow your TV?

It's important.

Okay.

Thanks.

Lovely.

the music is not the best...

...save the best for the last.

the funniest thing is the

best day of your life...

...becomes the best day of your life.

Hello, Bryce.

Hello.

Are you ready?

Yeap.

Right.

Sending the last images of the orb, now.

Got them.

Translating.

Done.

Send the sounds.

Sending it...now.

No, nothing.

Oh, well, back to the drawing board.

No. Wait. The time's being distorted.

Send me the file.

Look Lara, I really don't think

that's going to work, you know. It's...

Yes, of course, it will.

You ever heard your voice

on the tape recorder?

Same thing.

Why are we having this discussion?

Send me the file.

Lara.

Lara.

Africa, it's in Africa.

Somewhere in Kilimanjaro.

Right now.

How long would it take Reiss to

put his computer back together?

Get in touch with Kosa.

Ask him to get the car,

meet me North of his village.

at 0800 hours. Bye then.

A bit faster than 24 hours.

Out.

Africa it is.

Kosa.

Lara.

How are you?

Lara?.

You had the jeep cleaned.

Of course.

I know how you like your equipment!

Where are you? I can't see you.

Don't worry I can see you.

Okay, where are you coming from now?

Keep going straight,

keep your speed steady.

Lara, welcome back.

Do you ever do anything the easy way?

And risk disappointing you?

I've lost my friend and

I'm not sure where I can find her.

Nice shirt.

Ni hao.

She went to Africa playing

with the elephants.

Kosa, we've never been here, have we?

We didn't come to this area before, why?

Because I've seen that mountain before.

The box is there somewhere.

The locals call it the Mountain of God.

There's a tribe that makes

a home on it...

...that might help us.

Leave the subject and go.

Leave the subject and go.

Never speak of it.

To trespass on the Cradle of Life...

...is to risk flooding the entire world with death.

Men are coming for the box.

Now unlike me, they won't look at it

with fear or respect.

They would open, they want to use it.

I'm sorry if I have to disturb your god

to keep this from happening.

I will do whatever I must.

Do you truly understand

what you're doing?

Are you truly prepare

for what you're about to learn?

Some secrets must remain secrets.

These are very heavy burdens,

very lonely burdens.

that if you find the box...

...you would have to carry them.

He warn you that...

...no one who has gone looking

for the box has come back.

Says the land beyond the canyon

belongs to the Shadow Guardians.

Shadow Guardians?!

They do not sleep.

They never rest.

They move like the wind.

And anything that

walks their land will die.

And the Cradle itself?

Only with the orb can it be revealed.

Inside, you will find a place of madness.

Sky and Earth are one.

Direction, meaningless.

He's going to give us 20 men

to take us as far as they can,

to the Cradle of Life,

where the box is hidden.

We're getting closer.

He said you were right.

The Cradle of Life lies near the summit.

He wants to know how you knew.

The orb.

He says, he would not

turn back with the others.

He would go as far as we go.

We will find the Shadow Guardians.

dunka sana.

You're very brave man.

He said your accent is funny.

Get down.

Get down.

Chinese. (African).

Back.

Back.

Thank you Lara, for leading us here,

and for finding the orb, in the first place.

However, you have seen the exact position.

You could save me hours, days even.

Help me, and I'll make

you worth your while.

No.

Think of what I'm offering you, let her go.

The chance to find out,

how it all began,

life line, the origin what we are...

...don't tell me you're not tempted.

That's like a Pandoran trouble.

They told me you wouldn't do it.

And I told them you would

rather than lose two of your closet friends.

There goes the Cradle of Life.

Sorry, Lara.

It's your destiny to see what's inside.

He's right, it's just beyond

the canyon, remember?

Such a short walk

might save your friends.

Well, if it spares my friends...

I'm up for a walk.

I'm sure she'd understand.

Do you have a plan?

You should've just told Lara

we were hostage.

Reiss would never have found out.

I don't suppose either of you

know how to fly a helicopter?

I can.

What?

What?

I've got over 150 hours between flight

simulation...games,... models...

...and then the real thing?

Two.

Two? well, you're only gonna fly it once I'm out,

so remember your two hours well!

I hope you remember your two hours well.

- It's through here?

- Um.

Move, baby.

What's that?

You. Check it out.

Keep moving.

What are you doing?

Back in formation, now.

Holy sh*t.

Don't. They seem to react to movement.

They're gone.

I know we're close, I've seen it in your eyes.

Take me to Pandora's Box.

I don't know how.

Do it now.

Well you were the one who

wanted to go for a walk.

So start walking.

The next one will be higher.

only with the orb can it be revealed.

only with the orb can it be revealed.

All right, I'll need the orb.

Do you want to see

the Cradle of Life or not?

You tell me what to do with it.

Don't think you could outwit me, Croft.
