Tomb Raider King (2026) s01e01 Episode Script
Once Again from the End
Damn it, you overgrown worm!
N-No, not like this!
Kwon, you damn old fool!
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this to me?!
TOMB RAIDER KING
This mission must succeed at all costs.
In return,
I'll give you a reward worthy of it.
There's no way this is how I die!
Jooheon Suh, 38 years old.
Looks like today
is the day I die.
Good grief, you're loud.
What the hell?
Oh? You can hear my voice?
You're not my first talking relic.
Whichever god's trinket you are
get rid of this snake and let me go,
while I'm still asking nicely.
Do you truly think
you can survive in that body?
You've been split clean in two.
At this point, can you even feel pain?
If I move the snake, will you just
walk out of this place?
Or do you plan to crawl?
You're barely holding on to life
by the cheapest of tricks.
How much longer do you think you have?
An exceptional talent,
born in the wrong era.
Now you'll die without ever making proper
use of those little tricks of yours.
Shut up! You know nothing about me.
Do you think
I lived this way, because I wanted to?
Taejoon Kwon, you bastard.
I'll kill you, no matter what it takes!
Hahaha, how amusing.
Yes, it would be a waste
to let all that talent die here.
W-What is that?
A crow?
I will grant you a chance.
Go and try to claim
the throne of the true king.
Become a king? What?
Why couldn't it be an eagle helping me?
A creepy crow of all things.
Still, it seemed to be
at least a hero-grade.
Maybe even a god-grade relic?
But it did look like a crow
You're just going to let him go?
He hit my son!
Wait. What's this?
My My legs!
This is
Oh? Is he out of his mind?!
They're fine.
And more importantly I'm alive?!
What's up with that boomer?
Ugh, this is so annoying.
See?
There's clearly something up with him.
So do something!
A police station?
Hey, hey. Stop muttering
and finish writing your statement.
I just want your ID.
What's taking you so long?
I told you he's weird! Goodness.
I don't have all night.
Ah yes.
He looks perfectly normal,
so what's wrong with him?
Is this the crow's doing?
Name?
Is this a dream? A hallucination?
No, it feels too real.
I'm asking for your name. Come on!
I also want to go home, okay?
Working overtime on
the first day of the year
Be damned, 2025
What?
It's 2025?
How is that possible?
Was I reborn?
No, 2025 was 15 years ago.
Did I regress into the past? For real?
Go and try to claim
the throne of the true king.
Hey, you!
Why do you refuse to answer?
And what's with
the muttering and the stupid grin?
That lady looks familiar.
Now I remember.
That little punk picked a fight
with me first, so I shoved him.
Are you kidding me? Do you think
I'm a pushover? You started this!
Then he pretended to fall over
and dragged me to the police station.
Damn, you're pissing me off.
Should I just gouge your eyes out?
Got a problem? Then fight me!
You hit my son!
He's a senior in high school!
Will you take responsibility
for stealing his time?
How did I solve this 15 years ago?
What if the trauma makes his grades drop?
They demanded a ridiculous settlement,
and I had to get on my knees
and beg for them to lower it.
Back then, I didn't have any money.
Hello?
When someone's talking to you, you listen!
Oh? I blocked it.
Enough is enough, ma'am.
Your son started the fight.
And don't you think you're inflating
the settlement way too much?
Looks like it's true what they say:
The wealthy are the greediest.
What did you say, you bastard?!
I've had enough of you and your
Hey, what do you think
you're doing? Sit down!
Everybody calm down again, this is not
No, my son! Darling, are you all right?!
My body definitely feels lighter.
Did you see that?
Did you see what he did to my boy?
I haven't caught any
relic-induced illnesses yet either.
You cannot let him get away with that!
I demand justice!
Are my fighting skills still the same
because I got to keep all of my memories?
This is a police station!
What do you think you're doing here?
Good. That, at least, works in my favor.
You just made a big mistake, you little
Oh my goodness, are you hurt?
My poor baby
You think this is how
things work here, huh?
Just wait and see.
I'll make you regret this.
I'm going to call everyone I know and
Ma'am, please calm down.
Calm down?
Do I look like I can just calm down?
You must be dying to get a criminal
record! Don't even dream of a settlement!
A criminal record?
That stuff won't matter.
Once relics appear, the world
will become a lawless wasteland.
In 2025, massive earthquakes shook
the entire planet, and tombs appeared.
Inside them, relics from myths, legends,
folktales, and popular fiction were found.
They say stories
remembered for ages possess power.
The humans who came to own these relics
were granted all kinds of abilities.
All over the world people
began searching for them.
As luck would have it, I unearthed
the Archaeologist's Relic.
I hit the jackpot.
After gaining vast knowledge
of tombs and relics,
I thought I could
finally turn my life around.
But
What do you mean we can't enter the tomb?
TKBM Corporation holds exclusive
excavation rights to these tombs.
Everyone, please leave.
What? That's ridiculous!
Get out of the way, you clown!
If you continue to force
your way in, we will open fire.
That's where it all began.
Everything started with
Taejoon Kwon, the chairman of TKBM.
A large number of monopolizers
made it impossible for anyone
but themselves to excavate relics.
Fortunately,
my excavation ability was recognized,
and I was scouted by TKBM Corporation.
Welcome
I handled all kinds of
dirty jobs for Chairman Kwon.
to the team.
Smuggling, theft, spying,
and tomb raiding.
I snuck into tombs that the government
had barred off and smuggled relics out.
Chairman Kwon's success skyrocketed.
What a scumbag.
Seriously.
A bottom-feeder living off a monopolist.
Hey, are you pretending not to hear us?
If you were born again,
would you still live like that?
As if that would ever happen.
I chose to become Chairman Kwon's dog,
putting up with
every insult and humiliation.
And in the end
C-Captain, this is a trap!
Once relics appear, the world
will become a lawless wasteland.
It's good than I can still fight,
but that alone won't be enough.
Time to gather everything
I need to start excavating
[TOMB RAIDER JOOHEON SUH]
What's that?
Why are there words floating in the air?
Great. I must be losing it.
[TOMB RAIDER JOOHEON SUH]
A LOUSY THIEF WHO CAN'T EVEN USE A SHOVEL.
Only a relic could pull
this kind of crap
Hey, you feathered rat!
Come out right now!
Are you hiding somewhere and watching me?!
TOMB RAIDER BASIC SKILLS (1/4) SPY [RANK F]
DETECT EVERYTHING IN A 1-METER RADIUS.
A skill window?
Spy? Rank F?!
That damn crow!
Is my life a game now?
NEW QUES
UNLOCK ALL 4 SKILLS OF A TOMB RAIDER.
AWAKEN THE FOUR HIDDEN SKILLS WITHIN YOU
TO BECOME A FULL-FLEDGED TOMB RAIDER.
What? Activate four skills?
Will you look at that?
Now there's even a quest?
What is it now? Keep it down, will you?
Ah sorry.
Am I the only one who can see it?
Speaking of which
Everything within a
one-meter radius is crystal clear.
That's the ability
the Archaeologist's Relic gave me.
The relic is gone,
but the ability remains?
Does that mean I can now
see all of my skills this way?
Wait, if this is one out of four,
that means there's three more.
Well, we're off to a great start.
But what's that crow after?
Relics don't usually help humans
Hey, Jooheon!
SERVING AND PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY
Bad luck, huh?
That high schooler is a repeat offender.
He's the one
who should be sitting in that cell.
Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.
Thanks, Geonwoo.
Did you hit your head on something?
Jooheon Suh is thanking me?
What's gotten into you?
You sound like a totally different person.
Guess the holding cell
really scared you, huh?
Detective Geonwoo Kim.
Growing up at the orphanage,
he was always there for me like family.
Come on now. Let's go.
He still looked so young 15 years ago.
Geonwoo, have there been
any strange activities lately?
People being possessed
or anything involving superpowers?
What are you talking about?
Are you sure you're all right?
You need to see a shaman
for these kinds of things.
Well, sometimes it does feel
like my wife has superpowers.
How does she always find my secret stash?
Looks like relic users
haven't appeared yet.
Go home and get some rest.
You had a rough day.
Tombs should have appeared here and there,
but no relic users as of now.
This is the perfect time to make a move.
The problem is money.
Most of the early relics
were in Europe and the Americas.
But I need plane tickets
Hey, Jooheon Suh.
Why the hell are you
wandering around instead of working?
There's my cash cow.
Kyeongtae Park.
A local thug who runs a small gallery
with his older sister, Kyungjoo Park.
Back in school, I was desperate for money,
so I worked part-time for them.
For a pathetic wage, I put up
with their punches and worked like a dog.
Why aren't you answering,
you little shit?!
Do you need a beating to come to
your senses? Lower your damn eyes, you
You morons go and
tell your boss that I'm done.
So hand over
my back pay and severance.
All right, you bastard.
Let's settle this today!
B-Boss!
What's with this guy?
Y-You go and help him!
Shut up! Rush at him all at once!
My eyes My nose
My eyes! My eyes!
My nose! My nose!
W-What's going on? How is this possible?
Well, that's 15 years
of accumulated skills for you.
I'm missing the strength, though.
I need to finish this quickly.
Is that all? Finished already?
You ungrateful brat!
This is how you repay our kindness?!
B-Boss, be careful with that knife!
What if he gets seriously hurt and
Will you shut up?! Who cares?!
Oh? This knife is a relic.
Why does that lowlife have it?
Well, I guess it's not all that surprising.
Some relics slip out of
their tombs and hide in human society.
You think you're tough? Die, you bastard!
Either way, that thing is mine now.
N-No, not like this!
Kwon, you damn old fool!
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this to me?!
