[dramatic music playing]
[wind gusting]
[groans]
[sighs]
- [Jonah groans] - [Lara sighs]
Are we there yet?
[mysterious music playing]
[Lara] I believe we are.
It's the goddess Nu'wa's first test.
[speaks Mandarin]
Weak Water.
The myth says nothing can float on the weak waters of Kunlun.
That look like a blue hole to you?
[Zip, on comms] Is that posh for "lake"?
It's a sinkhole.
Usually full of quicksand and cold spots
that lock up your joints and suck you under.
Kills you in seconds.
Of course it does.
- Let her go first. - Uh...
You know, ever since I met you,
I've been terrified of how reckless and stubborn you are.
[sighs] Sometimes, I swear you have a death wish.
I don't.
I know.
This is just... who you are.
[dramatic music playing]
Go on, then, you crazy bastard.
[gasps] ¡Dios mío!
[grunting]
[gasps] Oh!
[sighs]
[gasping]
[grunting]
Line's secure.
[Jonah] Roger that.
[sighs] Thank goodness.
[suspenseful music playing]
[gasps]
[music swells]
[birdsong]
[Jonah whistles]
[Lara chuckles] Agreed.
[birds chirping]
[Lara] Some of this flora...
Jonah, it's been extinct for millions of years.
- [whirring] - [gasps]
[mysterious music playing]
[squeaking]
[growling]
[Lara] It's said Nu'wa lives at the peak of the world,
and that's where she tamed the Perils and created the Stones.
- [animal bellowing] - Huh?
[Lara] That's it. That's where I have to return the Stones.
Their place of creation.
Looks like Nu'wa built other traps too.
This place is full of things meant to kill humans.
[Lara] The Land of the Gods was... is a hallowed place.
This place isn't meant for us.
[Zip] Oh.
Maybe you could just leave the Stones on the front stoop.
Then ding-dong ditch.
- [thunderclap] - [both gasp]
- [whimpers] - The world is... falling apart.
[Lara] Balance.
Well, you're always wanting things to be easier.
[Jonah groans]
This is Hansel and Gretel easy.
And you know what happened to them.
[Lara] Chinese cosmogony believes
that our natural primordial state was a great and featureless nothing.
A place of perfect unity and balance.
And that somewhere in that darkness
lay the truth of who we were.
[shudders]
"The Way."
[tense, dramatic music playing]
[Jonah] Hmm.
Are you sensing trap? 'Cause I'm sensing trap.
[Lara] Only one way to find out.
[crashing]
[gasps]
I do believe it's a trap.
[sighs]
Hmm.
[Zip] What face is that?
My thinking one.
Now is when she doesn't know the answer? When the world is ending?
[grunting]
[sighs]
[gasps]
Hmm.
[machinery clanking]
[yelps]
[gasps]
[rumbling]
[rumbling fades]
It's a poem. A story.
It's the story of how Nu'wa repaired the broken world.
The White Tiger.
Hmm.
Jonah, step exactly where I tell you.
And only where I tell you.
"Long ago, the sky was broken,
so Nu'wa cut off the legs of the great black turtle
and set them up as pillars."
Black! Step on the black one. Only the black one, Jonah!
[exhales]
[yells]
[gasps]
[both sigh]
"She killed the Azure Dragon to stop the surging waters."
Blue! The next step is blue!
[Jonah yells]
Hmm.
"Tore the wings from the Vermilion Bird."
Red!
White!
[Jonah screams]
- [groans] - [stone grinding]
[yelps]
[grunts]
[crashing echoing through speakers]
[Abby] Oh my...
[grunts]
[gasps] My fault.
My fault.
The last one is the Yellow Dragon!
Hmm...
[gasps]
[exhales]
[running]
[yells]
[moaning]
[stone grinding]
Huh?
[yells]
[sighs]
[moaning]
Huh?
[clanking]
Oh. [chuckles]
[Zip sighs]
- [thunder rumbling] - [gasps]
[gasps]
Madre...
Uh... Lara?
- [sizzling] - Oh!
It's ash.
The sky is burning.
[Lara] Hmm.
[wind gusting]
[thunder rumbling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Lara] Hmm...
[Jonah] Hmm...
[grunting]
A Qilin.
The companion of the gods.
[chuckles]
[high-pitched ringing]
Hmm...
- Sure. Why not? - [Lara groans]
- [cracking] - [gasps]
[Lara yelps]
[Jonah] Care to share with the class?
My favorite part of Chinese mythology is how there is no real belief in evil.
Every moment of destruction is equally a moment of creation.
[strains] The Chinese elements all feed into each other.
The dragon is a symbol of spring. New wood.
- And wood feeds fire. - [energy humming]
And in Chinese symbology, elements are represented by animals.
- I know things too. - [Zip chuckles]
We have to follow the elements.
[Jonah] Hmm.
- [stone grinding] - [energy buzzing]
[tense music playing]
[strains]
[grunts]
[energy humming]
[rumbling]
Come on. I'll lower the rope for you.
Uh...
- [thudding] - [gasps]
[thudding continues]
[growling]
[roaring]
[gasps]
[gunfire]
- [snarling] - No! Lara! Keep going!
[Jonah] Lara! Go!
I'm not leaving you!
[Jonah] There's no time, Lara.
I'm armed and I'm quicker than I look,
but I can't fight that thing if I'm holding this for you.
[grunting]
[rumbling]
Go! Finish it!
[gasps]
[groans]
[gasps]
[snarling]
Zip, are you there?
Jo... Jonah, he, um...
Zip?
Abby?
[sighs]
[exhales shakily]
- [high-pitched ringing] - [gasps]
- [wind gusting] - [gasps]
Oh...
[energy whooshing]
[yelps]
[wind gusting]
[gasps]
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
Hmm.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
Hmm.
[energy whooshing]
[gasps] Oh!
[gasps]
Nu'wa.
[energy surging]
[Lara groans]
- [gong resonating] - [grunts]
- [whooshing] - [gasping]
[yelps]
[yells]
[grunting]
[sounds fade]
[poignant music playing]
[wind gusting]
[splutters]
[grunting]
[high-pitched ringing]
[sighs]
- [leaves rustling] - [birdsong]
I can't believe you left me to die by bear
and broke the temple.
[gasps]
Jonah!
[Jonah chuckles]
You did it.
We did it.
[Abby] And for that, you are very lucky, Lara Croft.
Abby. Zip.
[Zip] Bad news is your house is flooded.
Good news is I think it's over.
[sighs]
Then it's time to come home.
- [crashing] - [Jonah gasps]
- [thudding] - [gasps]
[thudding continues]
[snarling]
[both gasp]
Lara!
Maybe he's nice?
[bellowing]
[Lara chuckles]
Let's do this.
[roaring]
[screams]
[shrieks]
[Jonah groaning]
[Lara yells]
- [dinosaur snarling] - [groaning]
[sighs and yells]
[guns clicking]
[Lara groans]
[roaring]
[gasps] Jonah!
[both grunt]
[yells]
[dramatic, epic music playing]
[screams]
- [roaring] - [Lara yells]
- Lara! - [groans]
- [rumbling] - [Jonah gasps]
[panting]
[silence]
[water flowing gently]
[both panting heavily]
[Jonah groans]
[both laugh]
[gentle music playing]
[birdsong]
- [gasps] - Lady Croft.
Your generosity is boundless.
Are you sure you want us taking all of this? [chuckles]
I don't need them anymore, but they might as well serve some good.
Oh yes.
The new Croft Wing will be so full of exciting new treasures
and tales to inspire the world.
You are an archaeology godsend. Truly.
[poignant music playing]
Where'd you steal the armor from?
[Lara] I didn't. It was a gift from a very nice fisherwoman.
[Camilla] Ahem.
I chose one you could breathe in.
[Lara] Well, thank you for that.
[Camilla] Hmm.
[door creaks]
[Camilla gasps]
[giggles]
- [Lara grunts] - [Camilla] Hmm!
I remember all the dresses you'd rip apart after Sunday school.
I learned half my English curse words from your mother.
- The other half from my father. - The other half from Roth.
[both laugh]
You okay?
Yeah. I actually am.
Let's go, ladies. I'm hungry.
- [gasps] - [Camilla giggles]
[Lara whimpers]
[upbeat guitar music playing]
[Leo singing in Maori]
[laughs] First, yoga. Then dance lessons.
- [laughs] - [phone ringing]
Hi, Sam.
Where are you? Jonah's--
Sam?
[call ends]
[Leo continues singing in Māori]
[insects chirping]
I'm really sorry. Sorry. I, um...
Uh... This sounds crazy, but I... I think Sam might have gotten herself into something.
Sam's on a job overseas, right?
Yeah. Uh, yeah. I'm... I'm sure I'm just being me.
But I want to be sure,
and I didn't want you to think I just left.
Thank you.
You two really are so beautiful.
[Leo continues singing in Māori]
Hey.
Be careful.
Always.
