01x04 - Big Lies, Small Secrets

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music playing]

- [high-pitched ringing]
- [Lara gasps]

[muffled] Lara!

[fire crackling]

Lara. Lara!

Lara.

[Lara groans and sighs]

[gasps]

- [fire crackling]
- [murmur of voices]

What happened?

Uh...

[somber music playing]

- [man grunts]
- [woman gasps] Oh!

He combined the Stones.

- [thunder rumbling]
- [gasps]

[echoing crashing]

[menacing music playing]

[Lara] Eva was right.

It won't be unicorns.

It'll be fire.

Devereaux is disrupting
the balance of the world.

By messing with the Stones,
he's unleashing chaos.

All right. Good. Good. Yeah.

Now, I feel scared, but... but excited.
Where... where do we start?

We start nowhere.

I cannot save Jonah,
stop this man, and also see to you.

Oh, "see" to me. Like I'm a baby.

A... a baby who saved your a*s
more than I can count.

Which is high. It's high!

You need me, LC.

I know! [sighs]

I do need you, Zip.

That's why you're going home.

[poignant music playing]

[sniffles]

Devereaux wants the Stones
to take out the Light,

the secret society that k*lled his father.

Maybe by learning more about them,
I can figure out where he's going next.

There's only one problem.

I'm going to have to go
to the worst place in the world.

[accordion music playing]

[grunting]

[Zip] Oh yeah. What a disgustin'
trash pile. I feel sorry for you.

[Lara growls]

[grunting]

[dynamic music playing]

[grunting]

[gasps]

- [sighs]
- [debris falling]

[grunts]

[Zip] You do know breakin' into the home
of an Interpol agent is a serious crime?

Hey, I ain't bailin' you out.

There's no... other way.

- [grunts]
- [crack]

Cam would never tell me
what I need to know if I asked.

[Zip] Cam who? Wait, wait, wait, wait.

- Do you know this woman?
- [Lara sighs]

Camilla Roth. We grew up together.

[Zip, laughing] Oh, hello!
Backstory! Tell me more.

There isn't more.
She left me and never looked back.

[sighs] It's... complicated.

Like "ripped your heart out,
that's why you're closed off"

kind of complicated?

Tell me about the lockbox.

Okay, then. You know, I've run some tests.

Turns out it's pure lead, which means
it has an extremely high density

and also is soft and malleable.

Makes for a perfect natural barrier

for absorbing sound,
vibration, radiation...

It's an energy shield.

[Zip] If you must use layman's terms.

That's how it dulled Kaya's wrath.

It shields against the Stone's power.
Its energy.

I'm in.

What exactly are you hopin' to find here?

Whatever corrupted Devereaux
started here when he was a child.

Maybe if I learn what happened,
I'll know how to stop him.

- [woman] Stop who?
- [gasps]

[both yelling]

[gasps]

Lara Croft.

- Ah...
- [Lara grunts]

[gasps]

[sighs] Then let me guess.
You're here to steal something.

Then you have one minute
before I call the police.

[Lara] The Light.

[gasps]

Good. You know it.

[sighs] I'm head of Interpol's
organized crime division.

Of course I know it.

The question is, how do you?

What are you? A professional hiker?

What?

You stink like sweat and leather.

[Lara groans]

So, what's life look like
for grown-up Lady Croft, anyway?

You dating anyone?

[scoffs] No.

- Job?
- Delivered furniture for a bit.

- Was a bouncer for a while.
- [chuckles]

That would be fun to see.

[mysterious music playing]

[gasps]

- Hah! Ya little rascals!
- [all laughing]

I'll start a bath.

[water running]

[slow jazz playing]

[Camilla] The Light is a secret society
started here in Paris.

Descendants of the Knights Templar.

The Templars?

Or so they claim.
Probably just to drum up numbers.

But religious and political leaders
have been disappearing,

and I've tracked them all back
to the same shadow group.

The Light.

But I suspect
they're also behind other hits

that make little sense to rational people.

They're ramping up for something.
But for what?

[sighs] It's like they're taking people
off the board.

[snarls] They're playing chess,
and I'm playing Mille Bornes.

They're learning from their mistakes.

They're removing people
who can challenge them.

Quietly amassing power. That's the key.

How do you know that?

Anyone by the name of Devereaux
on the hit list,

k*lled 40 years ago or so, here in Paris?

That why you're here? Devereaux?

Hmm.

The name does sound familiar.

Aha! Pastor Charles Devereaux Sr.
That's right.

He had a church in the 20th.
Was k*lled on his own dais.

Interpol suspected
it was a professional hit.

You think the Light k*lled him. Why?

[dramatic music playing]

Lara?

- [gasps]
- [Lara exhales]

[sighs] Oh! New record.

I was talking... to you.

[grunts] Devereaux Sr. Professional hit
at his church in the 20th.

I can multitask.

[scoffs] You're just like my father.

[Lara] Thank you.

It was not a compliment.

Immediately after
Pastor Devereaux was m*rder*d,

the church was bought up
by Montgisard Innovations

and turned into a Knights Templar museum.

The Light's really trying
to sell that Templar connection.

So when are we going?

Uh, we are not. And tomorrow,
when I can bring my team.

The Cam I used to know
had a sense of adventure.

You used to see a hill and think of it
as a challenge from nature.

That was you.

But I learned it from you.

[laughs]

[Lara chuckles] Mm.

Mm. I miss those days.

Maybe we can have a little adventure.

The smallest.

[both chuckle]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Lara] Devereaux Sr.'s church.

This is where it started.

[Camilla chuckles]

So, the Light kills the pastor,
buys his church, only to never use it.

- Why?
- [click]

Ah!

[hinges creaking]

[gasps]

[sighs]

Couldn't wait two seconds.

- I... saw another way.
- Saw another way.

[both chuckle]

[sighs]

[mysterious music playing]

[Lara] Zip, can you look into
Montgisard Innovations?

Track down names.

[Zip] Uh, rude! You just can't
turn me on and off like a light.

Do you have a friend?

Is that her?
Tell her I say I love her hair.

[Lara groans]

[Camilla] Jacques de Molay.

Leader of the Templars
in the 14th century.

The Knights Templar were created

to protect Christians traveling
through the Holy Land.

But when they returned from the Crusades,
something went wrong.

Legend is they began to worship
a disembodied head called Baphomet.

- [sounds of battle]
- [Lara] A demon.

When the Pope found out,

he ex*cuted every Templar he could find.

- [sword slashing]
- [Lara] Starting with their leader.

Molay's final words
were a curse on the church.

[man, with strong accent]
God knows who is wrong.

Soon, a calamity will occur

to those who have condemned us to death.

[recording switches off]

[Zip] That... that was both funny
and terrifying.

Lara, this place is so clearly terrible.

[both, in unison] It's a front.

- Medieval churches were often built over...
- Catacombs.

[Lara] Look for secret doors.

[Zip] Look at you two.

This turned out to be
a nice team-building exercise.

Cam isn't really good at teams.

Yeah, that's like a slug
callin' a worm slimy.

[gasps]

[rustling]

[mysterious music playing]

[Lara] This really was a Templar church.

[scraping]

[click]

Hmm. Lucky guess.

[Lara] Hmm!

[Zip, breaking up] I looked up
Montgisard Innovations.

A shell company out of...

- Owned by... Interesting thing is...
- [static crackling]

Zip? Zip.

We're too far underground.

[Camilla] What do you think
the connection is?

Knights Templar and the Light?

[Lara] I'm not sure,
but they k*lled a man deliberately

to gain access to these catacombs.

There's something here they needed.

[laughs]

Remember that deerstalker
you used to wear?

Oh God. Don't remind me.

We'd wander through your dad's digs,

and you'd make up this whole story
about what happened there.

Make up? Excuse you.
I was a detective. We work in facts.

[both laugh]

[Camilla] You've always been
more imaginative than me.

My father said it was my weakness.

I think he always wished
I was more like you.

- [loud screeching]
- [both gasp]

[yelping]

[Lara] That's not normal behavior.

I can still feel
their tiny, disgusting feet.

Ugh! I shouldn't have done this.

- [sighs]
- You're fine.

I'm not fine.
Don't tell me what I am, Lara.

- I'm calling in my team.
- [Lara] Right.

I forgot when things get tough, you leave.

What's that supposed to mean?

[sighs] Forget it. Let's split up.
We'll cover more ground.

If the Light is down here,
we're safer together.

[groans] You really are like him.

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

[shudders]

[wind whistling]

[crackling of flames echoing]

[scraping]

[steps echoing]

[scraping]

- [cracking]
- [rodent squeaks]

[metallic buzzing]

[clinking]

[low rumbling]

[Lara gasps]

- Baphomet.
- [grinding]

[gasps]

[yelps]

[gasps]

[faint whispering]

[Lara] The stories are true.

The Gold Peril Stone.

It was here. The Stone of Betrayal.

It made them turn away from God.

[hissing whispers]

[Lara] The Templars who survived
did become the Light.

If you were hunted down like a dog,

what would you want?

Revenge.

- [snarling]
- [yelps] Camilla?

- [electricity buzzing]
- [gasps]

[yelps and gasps]

[snarling]

[Lara yells]

- [gasps]
- [low chuckling]

[gasps]

- [grunts]
- [child gasps]

[panting]

Any post from Camilla?

Of course not, milady. She hates you.
You stole her father from her.

[shuddering]

[sobbing]

Oh.

Huh?

[shivering]

Ah! [yelps]

[sighs and groans] Oh...

[low growling]

[Lara gasps]

[snarling]

[grunting]

[screeching]

[dramatic music playing]

- [Lara gasps]
- [growls]

[Lara yelps]

- [echoing thud]
- [sighing]

- [gasps]
- [organ music playing]

[Charles] The old fart doesn't understand.

None of them do.

[gasps]

[Zip] You're not the only one
who's grieving.

[sighs]

- [gasping]
- [Lara] Jonah, I'm fine.

[Camilla] You're just like my father.

[gasping]

[Charles] It's careless for people like us
to have confidants.

[Jonah] Sam says you're not
on speaking terms.

Zip says you've been everywhere
in the world but home.

[Lara] Roth was right.

It's better to go it alone.

[Jonah] You keep at this pace,
you just might, Little Bird.

- [crack]
- [gasps]

- [dramatic choral music playing]
- [thumping]

[panting]

[screeching]

[sighs]

[yelps]

Help! Please!

Uncle Roth!

You failed because you thought
someone would save you.

The sooner you stop needing people,
the sooner you'll learn to survive.

[yelps]

People? [scoffs]

They're just burdens.

[groans]

[unsettling music playing]

But Jonah will drop everything to help me.

Zip stands by me, even when I'm wrong.

They are not burdens.

Camilla was my friend.
Your daughter is not a burden!

- [screeching]
- [bones cracking]

[panting] Lara!

- [Lara panting]
- [growling and hissing]

[young Lara screaming]

- [crashing]
- [gasps]

[whimpering]

[Camilla] Lara?

Lara, follow my voice.

- [young Lara whimpering]
- [monsters snarling]

[young Lara] I can't.

[Camilla] Lara, do you trust me?

[gasping] Of course.

You're my best friend.

[gasps] Yes. Yes, I am.

And I won't let anything bad
happen to you.

- [monster snarls]
- [yelps]

- [clattering]
- [Camilla screams]

- Camilla!
- [monster growling]

[young Lara] Help!

I'm coming!

[yelps]

[roaring]

[gasps]

[yells]

[man screams]

[roaring]

[both panting]

[Lara sighs]

They're cultists.

Followers of the Light.

The mist is an hallucinogen.

I was able to find the vents
and close them.

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

[sighs]

What's all this about, Lara?

[sighs]

The world is in danger
from a t*rror1st called Charles Devereaux.

The pastor's son?

He is collecting Stones of Power

that could bring about
the end of the world.

[sighs] Why is everything
so dramatic with you?

I ask myself that all the time.

The Templars found the Gold Peril Stone
in the Crusades.

It's why the Light wanted this church.

The power of betrayal
in the palm of your hands.

They must have thought it was buried here.

[Camilla] The tomb of Cyrus the Great.

Cyrus was a king of Babylon.
His tomb is in Pasargadae.

Iran?

There was a great battle.
The Stone was lost there.

The Templars are the Light, Cam.

They betrayed the church,
but their mission has stayed the same.

Control not just the West, but everything.

One world under the Light

and death to those who defy them.

[gasps]

The assassinations.

[gasps]

They're all here.

The people who could challenge them.

[camera clicking]

[faint whispering]

[Lara] The Light approached Devereaux Sr.
to buy the church.

He refused.

He wanted the church
to stay a safe place for the homeless.

They k*lled him and took it anyway.

All for a Stone that's not even here.

Poor kid.

He found the body, you know.

[gasps]

Because he lived here. He grew up here.

If he was anything like we were as kids,
he must've explored all the tunnels.

He would've seen this.

Seen the story of the Stone
and its last resting place.

He's going to Iran.

He's going to use the Gold Stone
against them. It makes so much sense now.

Pasargadae is
a heavily guarded heritage site.

He would have needed the power of
the other Stones first to even get close.

The Gold Stone is next.

How do you know all this?

Because it's what I would do.

[ominous music playing]

[horns beeping]

I put in a call. I'll send you
what I find on Devereaux. [gasps]

Huh.

Lara Croft.
Always in a hurry to get somewhere else.

Thank you for your help.

Hmm. It was good
to be on the same team again.

I'll be watching the Light.

They're up to something,
I'll let you know.

[poignant music playing]

Why did you want to leave?

- In Chalchuapa?
- [gasps]

You... you never even said goodbye.

Uh... you wanted me to leave.

What? Roth said you hated it.

Our life. The traveling. The tents.

You said you'd rather be home
with your mum in Paris.

[speaking French]

[in English] I never said that.

So you didn't leave
because you thought I was replacing you.

"Replacing"?

Lara, you were like a sister to me.

[sobs]

Ugh. My dad could be
a real son of a b*tch sometimes.

[gasps]

No. Cam, Roth sacrificed himself
to save my life. He died because of me.

No, he died because
that was the life he chose.

Have you been carrying this around?

You listen to me.

I loved my papa,

but he ran
from every relationship he ever had

because he didn't have
the strength for them.

I'm glad you were with him... in the end.

I am.

I didn't leave because of you.

[Lara] I didn't want you to leave.

[Camilla chuckles]

[Lara chuckles]

Promise me something.

Don't make the same mistakes he did.

If this is the life you've chosen,

don't do it because you're running away
from the things that are hard.

The people we love are the treasure
you will never find in a tomb.

- Here.
- [jangling]

I stole it.

So you won't forget
you still have a friend in Paris.

[wind gusting]

[Charles] There's our heading.

[dynamic music playing]

After you, my friend.

[dramatic music playing]

[theme music playing]
