Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Page #2

Synopsis: A member of a rich British aristocratic family, Lara Croft is a "tomb raider" who enjoys collecting ancient artifacts from ruins of temples, cities, etc. worldwide, and doesn't mind going through death-defying dangers to get them. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, weapons training, and foreign languages - and does them all in tight outfits. Well, the planets of the solar system are going into planetary alignment (Which occurs every 5,000 years), and a secret society called the Illuminati is seeking an ancient talisman that gives its possessor the ability to control time. However, they need a certain clock/key to help them in their search, and they have to find the talisman in one week or wait until the next planetary alignment to find it again. Lara happens to find that key hidden in a wall of her mansion. The Illuminati steal it, and Lara gets an old letter from her deceased father telling her about the society's agenda (Her father was also the one who hid the key). Now, she must

- No, I haven't.

He always steered his own course,

your father.

He was a great man.

Would you like some port?

- It's really very fine.

- No.

I can't help you, Lara.

This clock truly is a mystery.

- Hello?

- Lara?

Hello, it's Mr Wilson. Yes...

Well, you see...

I had a second thought about that clock.

There is a man

who may be able to help you.

I gave him your number.

His name is Manfred Powell.

- You should see him.

- Thank you, I will.

- Goodbye, Lara.

- You take care.

Thank you.

Bugger.

Forgive me.

- Lady Croft.

- Ah, Mr Powell.

No, no, heavens, no.

I'm actually his associate, Mr Pimms.

Yeah, like the beverage.

Yeah, she's here.

What does Mr Powell do?

He's a lawyer

and I'm his law clerk.

A fairly recent appointment,

but enjoying it, all the varied work.

- A lawyer?

- Isn't it obvious?

Lady Croft, my pleasure.

- Manfred Powell, QC.

- Good morning.

- You're an authority on things Ancient.

- Well, I travel.

No, no. Mr Wilson said

you were quite the archaeologist.

Please.

- Oh, he's very sweet.

- He knew you father, I believe?

- Yes, they were great friends.

- I had the honour of meeting him once...

in Venice.

I was so sorry

to hear about his death.

This is the clock I spoke of.

Very interesting.

It's a shame you only brought

photographs.

Nevertheless, it is fascinating.

You said it started ticking

the night of the alignment?

Yes.

- You said you were a lawyer?

- Yes.

And the study of clocks

is a hobby?

This is an obsession.

Really my specialty.

My practice centres around antiquities.

But the origin of this clock

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.
