LOCATION: (FMV) Surrey – Croft Manor
(Rain pours down a statue of Lara; there was a memorial held for her. Winston lays a wreath and then heads to a limo to join Father Patrick. They watch the news on a built in mini television)
News Reporter: In world news, a private memorial service was today held for renowned archaeologist Lara Croft… Father Patrick: Tis a sad day, Winston. Winston: She will live on forever in our hearts. Father Patrick: Surely Winston, and for this is but a memorial service, there may yet be news from Von Croy in Egypt. Winston: Indeed. We can only hope and pray that she may yet return to us. But I fear Von Croy digging in the hopes of discovering her alive may only be met with black reality. Father Patrick: Indeed, Indeed. (A short while later, Winston leads Father Patrick and Charles Kane through the main hall of Croft Manor, to the study) Winston: To the study, gentlemen, where we may pontificate over the day's disheartening events. Charles: Indeed my friend, even the heavens cry out. (Charles and Father Patrick are sat by the fireplace as Winston carries in a tray of tea. Charles studies an object) Winston: Ah, the Philosopher's Stone. One of Lara's early conquests. And one of her most challenging pursuits, if my memory serves me. Father Patrick: And Rome still bears the scars of that little episode. Charles: Ah, she was never one for diplomacy, Lara. But she certainly knew how to paint the town red |
LOCATION: (FMV) Rome – Opera House
(Lara is attending an opera, sitting in an upper balcony).
Larson: (approaches from behind) Well, gal' darn, ain't she just a picture. Lara: Ah, the charming Mr. Larson. Has Pierre let you off the leash? Talking of which, where is our learned friend? Larson: Aw, he's around. You got the cash? Lara: I've got the cash, but I don't deal with the monkey. Larson: Well now that ain't polite for a lady…even if the monkey has the Mercury Stone. (He pulls out a glowing yellow stone. Lara picks up her briefcase of money) Lara: Lucky I'm in a generous mood. (Pierre emerges from the shadows with a gun aimed at her) Ah, crawled out from under your rock, I see. Pierre: No need for unpleasantries, Miss Croft. I'm afraid I must once again relieve you of your burden. Lara: Easy come, easy go. (Pierre grabs the briefcase and they start to leave. Lara offers her hand and Pierre approaches to kiss it but she punches him, stands and then kicks him, grabbing the stone and jumping off the railing to grab the curtain and ride it down. She takes a bow as the audience claps but then leaves in a hurry as Pierre opens fire. They give chase) Larson: It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. (Lara exits the building by the stage door and hops onto a pizza deliveryman's scooter. Larson and Pierre have grabbed an empty taxi and follow her) Larson: Buckin' bronco, baby! (At the end of an alley, Lara dives under a metal fence) Larson: We ain't gonna make that gap, boss. Pierre: We'll make it. Larson: Ain't gonna. Pierre: We’ll make it! (they crash into the gate) Larson: What did I tell you? Pierre: Mon dieu! (Lara blows them a kiss and walks off) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Rome – Trajan’s Markets
(Lara places the Mercury Stone in to its receptacle. She hears a noise and draws her guns)
Lara: Rodents…I shouldn't wonder. Big rodents. (On a nearby rooftop, Pierre is helping Larson back to his feet). Pierre: You imbecile! Larson: (Larson takes aim at Lara and fires, but Pierre knocks his arm to make him miss his shot) What!? Pierre: Idiot! Idiot! What does the cowboy hope to achieve with this mindless firing? Larson: Ain't mindless. Ain't we tryin’ to kill her anymore then? Pierre: You were kicked in the head by a horse, oui? So the brain doesn't work correctly. Larson: How'd you know about that? Pierre: Never mind! Never mind! We wait until she collects the other pieces. In this fashion we have the full prize at no extra effort. Larson: You is one clever cookie, boss. Pierre: Comparatively, yes. Come, let's get off this roof and I will buy you a milkshake. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Rome – Trajan’s Markets
(After collecting a few more pieces, Lara returns to the gate to insert the stones. She is ambushed by Pierre and Larson)
Pierre: Come, come, Lara. We are all friends here. Larson: (holds a gun to Lara) Begging your pardon, ma'am, but if you'd like to put them peashooters away. Pierre: Now, the second stone if you please, Miss Croft. Lara: Come, get it. Pierre: Hmm…it's a little late in the evening for these games. Larson, search her if you please. Larson: Well, gosh darn if I don't get all the best jobs. (begins searching Lara) Lara: You want to try the back pockets. (As he reaches behind her, she knees him in the groin) Pierre: Larson! Enough! Enough! My patience is exhausted with this childish nonsense! The stone, Miss Croft! Lara: If you put this into that gate, Pierre, you're going to get a lot more than you bargained for, trust me. Larson: I'll put it in then. Lara: That would be one of the stupidest moves you've made, and that's saying something, I think you'll appreciate. (Larson places in Saturn Stone but nothing happens) Pierre: A nice try as always, Miss Croft. Lara: Wait for it… (Larson is zapped and is set alight) Don't say I didn't warn you. Pierre: What is it? What have we done? Lara: In your usual flamboyant style, you have set in motion the next gate phase. Pierre: Next gate phase? Lara: If my memory serves me, the gate has realigned itself and if it does not receive two stones in the next few moments…pow! If I was you, I'd grab your Cro-Magnon cowboy over there and run as fast as your little legs will carry you. Au revoir, mon chèr. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Rome – Trajan’s Markets
(After collecting the rest of the necessary stones, Lara returns once more to the gate. Larson is here)
Lara: Come out, come out wherever you are. Larson: Heck, this ambushin' ain't what it used to be. Lara: Not when you're involved, no. Larson: Practice makes perfect, I'm reckonin'. Lara: Whatever. (looks around) We seem to be missing someone. Larson: If you's talking 'bout Frenchy, he's kind of…indisposed. Lara: And you thought you might just help yourself to his share of what's behind that gate? Unless of course, this is just a social visit. Larson: Well, you know I's always pleased to see a little belle like you, Lara. Be more pleased to see that last stone, though, if you'll be wantin' to hand it over. (Lara opens fire and he jumps behind the gate) That ain't supposed to happen. (After Lara shoots him, the gate guardians come alive and eye up Larson) Lara: Larson! Behind you! Larson: I may be a dumbass but I ain't fallin' for that again. Lara: No, really...behind you! Larson: (mocking) Behind you! Behind you! (screams as one of the gargoyles grabs him and throws him across the garden) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Rome – Colloseum
(Lara slides uncontrollably down a slope and grabs the ledge, leaving her suspended above a deep pit. Pierre appears)
Pierre: Um…an unfortunate situation, no? Lara: I've had worse. Pierre: Indeed. Indeed. This is a very deep pit and in this such a historic venue, I feel sure there may be valuable artefacts lurking in its depths. Lara: I can't tempt you to jump down and look? Pierre: Well, this is my point: I feel you may be better qualified to examine its secrets. Unless you, perish the thought, expire in the fall. Perhaps if you lighten your load a little, it may lessen the impact. The stone you carry? Lara: Wondered when you'd get to that. Pull me up and the stone yours. Pierre: And we all leave happily ever after? I think not. Give me your word that once you leave the pit, you will not lay a finger on me. Lara: You have my word. Pierre: (pulls Lara up and holds out his hand however he now stands on the edge) Er, the stone… (Lara slowly walks toward him, making him extremely nervous) Now, now, Miss Croft, you gave me your word. Come now, Lara. (starts to slip off the ledge) Lara, you promised! Lara: Boo! (He slips but just manages to grab the edge) Pierre: Could you find it in your heart to help me up? I appear to be slipping. Lara: Pierre, you know nothing would please me more, but we have an agreement. Pierre: Agreement? Lara: Not to lay a finger on you, remember, silly? Anyway, busy girl. Got to go. (Lara walks off,) Pierre: But…I… (screams as he falls down into the pit) Lara: Don't let me hold you up. |
LOCATION: (FMV) Surrey – Croft Manor
(Back at Croft Manor)
Winston: And so ended the first of many. I'm sure Miss Croft would be the first to apologize for her not entirely courteous behaviour regarding some of the more delicate religious artefacts, Father Patrick. Father Patrick: No need, my friend. All for a good cause. At least we knew they were in secure hands. And fortunately, the church was above sending a bulletproof envoy to retrieve them. Charles: Ah, but she recognized her place in the great scheme. Some things, as history has illustrated, are best left to their slumber. (Both Winston and Father Patrick are confused,) Charles: I speak in riddles. I talk of the stricken wolf ship. (points to a framed picture of a submarine above the fireplace) Winston: Ah, the U-boat episode. Miss Croft would never enlighten me as to the details. For my own protection, she would often stress. Charles: Indeed Winston, and for this you should be grateful. Deep in the bowels of their vessels lay one of the most powerful artefacts in all Christendom. An artefact which, when wielded at the vanguard of an army, would make that army invincible. Father Patrick: The Spear of Destiny. Charles: But the boat never reached the fatherland with its precious cargo. It disappeared from radar three weeks into the journey. And so, this was the resting place of the fifty-two seamen…and also something much more sinister. |
LOCATION: (FMV) Russia – Zapadnaya Litsa Port
(Lara and Charles are standing on a hillside, overlooking the port. They observe two black cars entering the base. Lara zooms in through her binoculars)
Charles: The Zapadnaya Litsa port. Once the pride of the Russian fleet. Ex-KGB are the majority of them. Trained killers. Lara: Dealt with Mafioso before. Unpleasant memories. Prefer to avoid them whenever possible. Charles: Yes, I would prefer this also. Lara: Hardly a major search party, is it? (turns to Charles) There's something you're not telling me. Charles: Ah, yes… Lara: I'm a big girl now, hit me with the bad news. Charles: It is bad news. The admiral's allegiance has been bought and, under his command, a nuclear submarine. It's housed in one of the dockyards. Lara: Well done. Nuclear submarine. Sounds nice. Perfect holiday. (turns to leave) Charles: Lara, wait. Take this tracking device. Lara: What's this? You're not worried about me? Charles: Yes. Someone has to. Lara: (takes the device) Touching…but don't wait up. (She runs down the hill and Charles rides away on a snowmobile) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Base
(Lara is hiding on a ledge above the dock. She overhears a conversation between Admiral Yarofev and the Mafioso)
Mikhailov: Move your men along. I do not pay such extortional prices for incompetence. Yarofev: You forget, Mikhailov, I am still an admiral of the Russian navy, and as such, demand respect. Mikhailov: While you accept my bribes for use of the submarine, you are under my employ and will follow my instructions without complaint. Yarofev: If I deal with the like of you to keep my men in bread, it does not make me one of you. Mikhailov: Relax, my friend. We are two sides of the same coin. Yarofev: (under his breath) Mafioso filth. (turns to one of his sailors) Kruschev, hurry on with that box. Our new commander demands efficiency. Enough! Enough! Board and seal hatches. (The two men climb aboard Mikhailov: As you have promoted me to commander, is it not fitting to board before the admiral? (Lara enters the loading bay and is closed in) Lara: Hmph! Economy class! |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Submarine
(Admiral Yarofev and a pair of Russian sailors discover Lara in the cargo hold)
Yarofev: An unwelcome addition to our little assignment. Leonid, if you would escort this lady to the brig. Lara: Your little assignment? You have no idea what your Mafia-financed assignment is, do you Admiral? Yarofev: Young lady, who you are and what you know is of very little concern to me. If I was captain of my ship I might listen to you, but unfortunately the situation I find myself in doesn't allow me that privilege. So, if you would be quiet and hurry along like a good little girl. (They reach the bunkroom that is to be Lara's cell) Yarofev: Inside, please. Lara: You're making a grave mistake. You know that? (Lara walks into the cell) Yarofev: (to the two sailors) Under no circumstances open this door. You understand? (They salute and the admiral walks off.) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Submarine
(A short while later, Lara manages to escape through the ventilation pipes. She finds the command center and listens to Yarofev and Milhailov talking)
Mikhailov: (peers through a periscope) Then it is true? We are before the stricken U-boat. Now we find if its cargo is still intact. Prepare your divers. Yarofev: And are we to be told what we search for? Mikhailov: Enough to locate it, da. But beyond that I fear it may be too much for your limited intellect to grasp. Yarofev: Perhaps too much for mine, trusted comrade, but perhaps not for the spy we have located on board. Mikhailov: A spy? I trust you disposed of him. Yarofev: Not him…her. Yes, we are forced to run with wolves, but we shall not kill indiscriminately like they. Mikhailov: Fool! I shall dispose of her when I return. Move the sub to position quickly, comrade. Yarofev: (into microphone) Take her five degrees astern, quarter power and bring her to a full stop. Attention all dive crews, report to your stations immediately |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Submarine
(Lara sets up a diving suit)
Lara: Time to turn the tables |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Underwater
(Lara finds the crate holding the Spear of Destiny. She holds it)
Lara: Ah! Who could believe it?! (An explosion above loosens some pipework, which falls and strikes her air tank) Puncture! Time to leave. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Submarine
(When returning to the sub, Lara is ambushed by Mikhailov and his goons)
Mikhailov: Ah…our unannounced visitor. I fear you have an item in your possession that I require. Lara: To be used in your continuing quest for world peace, I presume. Mikhailov: World peace…not entirely my purpose in pursuing this artefact. Lara: This artefact contains untold power – power which the likes of you will never harness. If you wish it, you may have it, but you will regret it. Mikhailov: The world may regret it. Hand it over to me and I may spare you. Lara: On your head be it. (tosses the artefact over to him) Mikhailov: (to his goons) Take her to the torpedo room and eject her into the ocean. Lara: Sergei, listen to me! You don't know what you're dealing with! (As the goons escort Lara away, Mikhailov is electricuted by the Spear. He screams and is killed in an explosion. The lights go out and Lara uses the time to deal with the Mafiaso) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Russia – Submarine
(Lara finds an injured admiral, sitting)
Yarofev: I knew that dog Sergei would be the end of us all. He infects my ship with his greed and now we are all doomed. Lara: We have a chance…the escape pod. Come on. I'll help you. Yarofev: I do this only to help my men. He babbles of the biblical spear and I feed his madness for money to feed our families. And now, to this…corpses left for the fishes. Lara: Yarofev, I can help you, but you must help me. The ship is about to impact into the ocean bed and then our time is up. We must hurry. Yarofev: (Coughs) The escape pods have no internal air supply. You will find oxygen tanks in my stateroom. I hear my ship dying. The internal seals are splintering. (Lara quickly find the canisters, places them in the escape pod and climbs back down to help the admiral) Yarofev: Nyet! No time! The hull is breached and we will drown soon. With the oxygen you escape. Now! Lara: Not without you. Yarofev: I am admiral Yarofev of the Russian Imperial Navy. I have served my great country for many years. But the country I know withers. The bear lies down to sleep for its final time. And I wish also this fate on the ship I have grown to love. Lara: No deal. Yarofev: Yes, deal! For the outer airlock can only be opened from inside the ship. This is my gift to you, child. I release you to a future beyond this dying vessel. Lara: (crouches beside him) And my gift to you? Yarofev: Tell my story. Tell how the proud men of the Russian navy fought against the enemy from inside and sacrificed their lives for that their dear country might once again stand proud. Lara: You have my word. Yarofev: I salute you. Quickly! Into the airlock and I will release you. Lara: (climbs up the ladder) Goodbye Admiral. (As Lara crawls into the pod, Yarofev closes the hatch behind her) |
LOCATION: (FMV) Surrey – Croft Manor
Charles: Lara saw enough of the power of this artefact to recognize its rightful place was where man could never again misuse it.
Father Patrick: And not enough for it to destroy her. Some powers are beyond the wit of man. (There is a sudden flash of lightning and the power goes out) Winston: Oh dear, gentlemen. I do apologize. It seems someone up above has a sense of humour. If you will excuse me a moment, I shall fetch candles. Charles: It's a night spurred by hell. Father Patrick: And as the horsemen drove ever onwards across the world, the heavens boiled in their wake. Ah, benefits of a religious education. This night reminds me of the time out at Connussie. Charles: Winston's home? Father Patrick: Indeed, yes. The staff had taken leave due to flooding. Lara, back when she was a slip of a girl, was staying with Winston and his wife. It was her that contacted me, as a matter of fact. Some trouble out at one of the islands. Weird lights. Manifestations. That sort of thing. Thought I might be able to help. It was on a hellish night like this when I arrived. |
LOCATION: (FMV) Ireland - Connussie
(Scene changes to a flashback in Connussie, Ireland. Lara is in a bedroom just as Father Patrick arrives at Winston’s home. Both Winston and Father Patrick sit down at a table)
Father Patrick: Evening Winston, and how would I be able to help? (Lara opens her bedroom door to listen on their conversation) Father Patrick: So, people have seen these apparitions out at the island? Winston: There's talk of little else in the village, Bram. I'm doing all I can to keep this gossip from Lara. Father Patrick: Aye, you would be a wise man. It would be unwise for her curiosity to draw her to that place. Winston: And you have some idea of what it could be? Father Patrick: To be frank with you, no. But as the devil finds work for idle hands, I've spoken with Father Finnegan, and have a boat chartered for the crossing late on this very evening. Winston: Good Lord, Bram! You have not chosen the evening for it. Father Patrick: I have my faith to protect me, Winston. Winston: Be careful. I fear that on that island it is what you cannot see that will hurt you, Bram. Father Patrick: Time to get to the bottom of this, old friend. (As Father Patrick stands, Lara climbs out her window and hides aboard Father Patrick’s boat) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Black Isle – Gallows Tree
(As Lara approaches the Gallows Tree, there is a flash of light and a haging man appears)
Hanged Man: (hissing) Come, child, come closer for I have gifts for thee. Lara: I'll stay where I am. Hanged Man: (laughs) Fear not this visage, it is but a vessel for my troubled spirit. Come closer for you are safe while I am hung like so much butchers meat. Lara: Who are you? Hanged Man: Who? Hmm. For it is more like what. Condemned to wander between the kingdoms of man and that of the elementals, but I must be swift in my request, for they watch and wait to once more draw me back into the darkness. Lara: Request? Hanged Man: My heart, girl, they have hidden my petrified heart in the roots of this, the World Tree, down under the watchful gaze of the dragon, Nidhogg. Find this, my child and return it to its rightful resting place and you shall be rewarded! Lara: And why on earth should I trust you? Hanged Man: Not on earth, girl, in between. My soul is gone and how it fares nobody knows…and nobody cares. (With a choking laugh and another flash of light, the corpse disappears.) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Black Isle – Gallows Tree
(After Lara finds the heart, she sees Father Patrick standing over an open pit, from which a hellish voice can be heard)
Father Patrick: (calling down the pit) Go back to your slumberings. This is but a child, and she shall not cross your path, as you shall not cross hers. Voice: Come closer false prophet, it is easier to be brave from a distance. Father Patrick: I am here now, and I have a gift for you, you cantankerous old worm! (throws an object into the pit) Voice: Argh! Curse you, priest! If you live till doomsday, you shall burn a week longer than the world! I swear! Father Patrick: Iron. Never found a demon yet that doesn't burn at its touch. Lara: What was in the hole? Father Patrick: In the…never mind that. What on earth are you doing here? No, don't bother. We'll get on to that later. Right now we need to get you out to somewhere safe until the morning. That's assuming you'll stay in once place, young lady. Lara: Nothing with demons, right? Father Patrick: Well, I can't promise anything in this God-forsaken place. I'll light the way and go on ahead to clear out any unwelcome guests. Now once you're out, head to the chapel over the bridge. I'll meet you there. I'm forgetting me manners. Don't speak to strange things, and if there's anything around, and trusting me skills in this area there shouldn't be, iron, girl. Use iron to repel 'em. See you on top. Keep your wits about you. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Black Isle - Labyrinth
(Lara examines the open coffin and cautiously steps through accidentally slipping down the slope. She turns to see Father Patrick standing nearby, holding a flaming torch)
Father Patrick: Good Lord, girl! It's me. I've enough on me plate without you making me jump out of me skin an’ all. Lara: Your hair… Father Patrick: What about me hair? Lara: It's…white! Father Patrick: Hmm. Aye, that'd be right. I was detained by some unpleasant fellows from down below. Gave me quite a fright. That's why I wasn't at the chapel, but I can see you've kept yourself busy. Anyways, let's get you out of here and back to safety. (They emerge from the Labyrinth) Father Patrick: Right young lady, I'm going to have a quick look around now for a safe place to put you. Now you stay put, or you'll be banging into something that'll make your hair turn white. And we wouldn't be wanting that now, would we? Lara: Father, I found a book in the labyrinth. Father Patrick: You've been sight-seeing in there as well? Good Lord almighty, girl! I'll be needin' to chain ye to something. Lara: It has protective symbols. Maybe you can use them. Father Patrick: Bless you for the thought, but I've enough protection from Him above. And for that diagram to be any good you'd have to draw it out and be sittin' in the middle of it. And you know something, I've left all me colouring pens at home tonight. Now, you'll be doing me a big favour if you were to stay put before you bang into something bigger than you. Lara: Stay put. Right. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Black Isle – Old Mill
(When Lara approaches a barn, the demon bursts out on horseback carrying Father Patrick)
Vladimir: Who is this that stands before me? The first to visit me in my prison seven hundred years past. Father Patrick: Seven hundred years? All alone in a barn? Huh, those winter nights must have just flown by. Vladimir: Silence ignorant heretic, or I behead you! (pulls him off his horse) Lara: Leave him be! Vladimir: For the child has spirit, but what is that? When this island is littered with the bones of holy men. My gift to them for their spirit in obstructing me from claiming my rightful inheritance. Father Patrick: And this inheritance I wouldn’t wonder, would be some way to explain why you’re walking and breathing when you should be gone long past? Vladimir: The inheritance is the gift of eternal life, contained within an ancient scroll. Concealed by the dullard Abbot and his cohorts. The scroll which draws forth pale demon blood through my veins. I am no longer man. I am one foot in earth and one foot above the gaping abyss of Hades. Father Patrick: So why stay on the island? Came for a holiday and fell in love with the scenery? Vladimir: Hold your yapping tongue for want I clip it! Boils and plagues plaster over this island and its treacherous inhabitants! For it was they, and their ox little abbot, who plotted to incarcerate me in this dungeon hall for an eternity. I, Vladimir Kaleta, who worshipped in the first Kremlin, who butchered the Swede and the Lefsky on the banks of the River Neva. Incarcerated within this prison of flowing water! Lara: Running water? You're trapped here by running water? Father Patrick: Demons cannot cross running water. Vladimir: Indeed. The abbot's final trick before I was transformed. (to Lara) And you shall find a way to shore up this stream or your holy man shall be opened up and gutted like livestock. (The demon hauls Father Patrick back onto his horse and rides back into the barn) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Black Isle – Old Mill
(Lara manages to stop the current of water. Vladimir emerges from the barn again, still carrying Father Patrick)
Vladimir: Your child has done her job well, and I taste freedom for the first time in an aeon. You not now fear me? For you have served your purpose well holy man, and for this should I exercise mercy as a god might? Father Patrick: Now that'd be nice, but I'm not holdin' me breath. Vladimir: Yes, I shall spare you and secure for you a fate worse than death! For when you pass beyond this world, Heaven shall no longer welcome you, for you have released a demon. Father Patrick: My faith will protect me from feckless lesser demons as yourself. (Vladimir head-butts Father Patrick and then throws him to the ground) Lara: Father! Vladimir: Ah, the child. I shall snuff out her life as a candle. Father Patrick: (to Lara) The book from the library… (Lara backs away as the demon advances toward her) Father Patrick: The names…read out the names! (Lara quickly takes the Bestiary from her backpack and begins to read it aloud) Lara: Askeroth. Aqueil. Arrancula. Belial. Bucom. Boliath…Help me! Father Patrick: Keep reading, girl, you're almost there. Lara: Camos…Masteflou… (The horseman raises his sword to take a swing at Lara, but Father Patrick jumps on the back of the horseman) Lara: Verdilet! (The horseman is now paralyzed) Vladimir: How is this? I move to strike and yet cannot! Father Patrick: You've done well, girl, and before you ask, I'll tell ye. The book you've got, I myself was looking for it, but as I couldn't find it, assumed you had it. And lucky ye did! Lara: But how..? Father Patrick: If you name a demon, you have power over it…and you named him! It's your shout, Lara. Vladimir: For this you shall burn for eternity! I shall drown you in a mire of your own entrails before I squeeze… Lara: Be quiet! Father Patrick: What ye reckon we get out of this God-forsaken place and go and get a nice cup of tea with Winston? Almost forgot, would you be wantin' to wave goodbye to our little friend? (He laughs) Lara: Back to where you belong! (The demon vanishes. Father Patrick puts an arm around Lara and they leave together) |

Father Patrick: And you'll have learned a few valuable lessons from that, I’d be thinkin'. Lara: You'd be thinking right, Father. |
LOCATION: (FMV) Surrey – Croft Manor
Father Patrick: Her curiosity was eventually her failing.
Charles: The path she chose was the path she loved, and for this we should celebrate, not grieve. Although, I fear for Von Croy, pursuing his inner demons, driven half to madness in his quest for her final resting place, he will not find peace in himself until this is complete. (All three men get up and walk towards the trophy room) Charles: Ah, the infamous trophy room. And you will be doing the acrobatics to enter, Winston? Yes? (Winston reaches up and takes hold of a light fixture, twisting it down to open a hidden doorway behind the mirror. He leads the way inside) Winston: Miss Croft did enjoy her little games. And here it is, gentlemen. The artefact which lead to the animosity between Miss Croft and Von Croy, ending ultimately in this terrible business. (Winston unveils the case containing the Iris). |
LOCATION: (FMV) New York City – VCI Headquarters
(Lara is standing on top of Von Croy Industries, ready to paraglide across. She has hired a man called Zip to help her break into the building. He is inside a van down on the street, with a headset to communicate with Lara)
Zip: Okay, Miss Croft, I'm presuming, by the lack of communication that you're at Industries building, right? Containing our little prize…the Iris? Lara: Affirmative. Zip: Right! Now this is what you're good at, yeah? Time to switch roofs. Lara: Switch roofs? Easy to say from the ground floor, wouldn't you agree? Zip: C'mon now! Stiff upper lip. Top hole and all that. Time to get hip with Zip. Lara: (looks down at her timex) Gone. (Lara uses her hang-glider and across to the roof of the next building. As she lands, their headsets interfere with the buildings’ electronics, causing a loud, sharp noise) Zip: Yeow! Jimi Hendrix is back! Lara? You there, Lara? Croft? Are you gettin' this? Lara: Limey. (Lara begins to rappel down the side of the building) Zip: Geez, now that was a blast! What the hell happened? Lara: Never mind, Yankee, I'm going in. (Lara shoots out a vent cover and swings into the opening) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) VCI Headquarters – 13th Floor
Lara: (through headset) I'm in.
Zip: OK, now let’s see what you can do. Follow the vent to the main corridor; you've come in at the thirteenth floor. Unlucky for some. Lara: Unlucky for them. Any welcome party? Zip: That's your job, girl. I ain't no X-ray vision super-hero. Lara: I'd noticed the last bit. Zip: Ooh, you are so sharp you're gonna cut yourself. Just remember, the less attention the better. You dig? Lara: Thanks, but that thought had crossed my mind. Zip: Just makin' sure you're on the ball, lady. Lara: Enough talk. Contact me if you see anything. Zip: Whew! That girl has got one bad attitude. |

(Lara sees a room with an advanced mechanical suit)
Lara: You getting this? Zip: Woah baby, I’m getting too much of that! Looks like the Hulk on steroids. Lara: You want to tell me what it’s doing here? Zip: Couldn’t be sure. I hear the VCI’s working on some new suit. (A man enters, wearing the new items) And that sure as mom’s apple pie ain’t no civilian protection. Lara: Can’t argue with that. And the guns? Zip: Well my picture ain’t all that clear but it looks like low frequency laser weapons, limited range, but you get in the way of one and they’ll have to take you out in a plastic sack. Lara: I get the picture. |

Zip: Check it out man! No regard for company security. Sleeping like a baby. Somebody could just glide in and slide that ID out from under his nose. Somebody slinky that is. |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(Lara sees one of the VCI new suit men in her path)
Zip: Uh oh! You're going to have to play some fancy moves to get past this quarterback. Lara: You got any suggestions? Anything to distract him? Zip: I got a suggestion right here. Go find a different way out! 'Cause you don't want to know what happens when you make the Hulk mad. Lara: Indispensable information as always. Zip: That face ain't got armour on it, right? Well, that's how you're gonna have to do it. You're one hard-boiled lady. Now, you'll think of somethin'. Lara: What exactly am I hiring you for? Zip: My extraordinary knowledge of security systems and my unsurpassed skill in cracking them. Not to mention my ineffably addictive personality, baby. Lara: You're right. I won't mention it. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) VCI Headquarters
(At a closed door, near to a worker)
Zip: Now this ain’t gonna be easy. This door operates on that pass you got, ‘cept it needs two inserted at the same time. Lara: Meaning what exactly? Zip: Meaning, against your better judgment, try not to go killing that guy, cos we need him, yeah? (Lara threatens the worker into helping and then knocks him out) Lara: Sweet dreams. |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(Lara enters a small lobby and has to pass through a corridor which uses an X-Ray scanner)
Zip: OK, you've been a bad girl, and before I tell you what your punishment is, I just wanna say that there's no point in arguing cuz I ain't gonna be listenin'. Take all your metal items…yes, guns is metal…and put 'em in the tray. Now! Lara: So, you're telling me to disarm myself in a building crawling with armed guards? Zip: Now if I was listening, which I ain't, like I told ya before, I would counteract this argument by alerting the person asking me this to the fact her guns ain't any use against ten foot tall walking tanks anyway! But I ain't listening, so I ain't sayin nothin'. Lara: I'm doing it. But if you mess this up… Zip: Alright, I'm listening again. And trust me, I ain't gonna mess this up, okay? Lara: Do I have a choice? Zip: Nope. |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(Lara runs through the x-ray scanning corridor)
Zip: I don’t like to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the stairs are out unless you bulletproof. You ain’t bullet-proof, are ya? Lara: What about the lifts? Zip: Well, the lifts is going down, and normally, when trying to escape somewhere, ain't it clever to head in the direction of the exit? Like the roof? Lara: Right. That would be clever, like making me ditch my guns? Zip: Ouch! Yeah, maybe you'd better start looking for some weapons. Hey, don't sweat girl, the man will save you. Lara: Hasn't happened yet. |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(Lara uses an elevator but is ambushed by VCI workers and VCI mechanical suits)
Zip: Close the door. Close the door quickly! Close the door quickly! (The wires fail on the elevator that Lara uses. Despite applying the brakes, it plummets to the ground) Zip: Lara are you there? Lara! Lara! You broke? You ain't dead, is ya? C'mon girl, answer me! Lara: Gonna be sore in the morning. Zip: I knew you was too tough for a little fall like that. Lara: Uh, I'm on the ground floor, aren't I? Zip: Bing! Ground floor. Depart here for gun-toting refrigerator men and long walk back upstairs. Yeah, sorry girl, you got it, but hell, you in one piece, ain't ya? Lara: Never felt better. |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(After grabbing the Iris, Lara is in a seating area)
Zip: You doin’ good girl, but just you hold there a minute. I’m checking for something. Lara: Zip! They’re coming through the doors with wielding torches. Zip: Yeah, yeah, just... Gotcha! Top corners of the room, motion trackers. Fast movement triggers them, so take it easy! |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(Lara sees the door that she needs requires a key code. A passing guard types it in)
Zip: Now, you want to get yourself in a position where you can see the keypad, coz once every three or four cycles, Mr mobile refrigerator there is gonna type in the code. Lara: You don’t say. Zip: You got it baby! I’s just full of vital information. Lara: You’re full of something. Zip: Without me lady, you’d be just some has-been hanging by your cuticles over a spike pit in some armpit backwater country. Lara: Sounds preferable. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) VCI Headquarters – Von Croy’s Office
(A VCI guard approaches the office door and presses an intercom button)
Guard: Permission to enter, sir. I have important news on the situation regarding the intruder. (The doors slide open and he steps through. Inside is the office of the Von Croys. The younger man, Werner, is seated in a wheelchair). Werner: And..? Guard: It, uh, it seems that she's managed to evade my men and remove the Iris, sir. Werner: Incompetence! Where is this intruder now or have you mislaid her once more? Guard: Last visual contact in the lobby, sir. Werner: Last visual contact? So you have lost her again. Find her! Find her now! (A screen lowers from the ceiling) Older Man: All exits are blocked. There is no need for these histrionics. Do we have identification yet? Guard: Only visual, sir. (On the screen, a video plays of the intruder searching the offices) Von Croy: No need. I know who the intruder is…Lara Croft. Older Man: Ah, your past once more comes back to haunt you, Werner, foolish boy. No matter. She will not escape. Place the building under full alert. |

(At a set of lasers)
Lara: Got a feeling this isn’t quite what it seems. Zip: And I knew you weren’t just a pretty face. Try infrared on the shades girl. |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(After being targeted by a helicopter)
Zip: Keep moving girl! You got too many escorts tonight. Lara: You get used to it. Where’s the exit. Zip: Now I got you an exit (the audio distorts) but you’ve got to promise not to shout at me when I... |
LOCATION: (In Game) VCI Headquarters
(At the exit)
Zip: Yeah girl! You done good. Now get your bony ass outta there! And hey, you stay in touch, yeah? Maybe we gonna be pen-friends. Lara: Bony ass?! I doubt it, but I’ll be in touch. Clear the area, Yank, I’m coming out! |

Charles: (holds up a small glass of alcohol, to make a toast) To absent friends.
Winston: Indeed. Father Patrick: God rest her soul. |
LOCATION: (FMV) Egypt – Outside Temple of Horus
(Von Croy is searching the deserts in Egypt, desperately trying to find Lara’s body. A boy approaches)
Egyptian Boy: Mister Von Croy! Mister Von Croy! Come quickly! (The boy leads him through a light sandstorm, back to the tomb. They proceed down the steps in to the newly excavated area) Von Croy: What is it, man? What have you found? Pass it to me. Pass it to me! (One of the men hands Lara’s backpack to Von Croy. He holds it up to the light and smiles) Von Croy: We've found her! |
