Tomb Raider King (2026) s01e04 Episode Script
The One Who Stole the Future
1
Those soldiers must be a real pain,
with all the work they dump on you.
Oh? You speak Japanese?
A little, yes.
They're the worst.
They're always watching me
All right, we're ready.
Today, we're going to
pay them back together.
Wait He isn't scary at all.
Someone like him would
never curse me and kill me.
Besides, now that our eyes met,
I can read his future.
However the book is still at home.
CAFÉ
O-Oppa
What are you doing?
Keep quiet.
And give me your phone.
Did you really think
I didn't know who you are?
The Book of Prophecies
belongs to you, right?
What? He knew?
Please enjoy your time with us.
Shall we start our date, then?
Bring out the book and
copy what's written in here.
What kind of date is this?!
And the book is at my house.
Are you joking?
Touch the mark on your arm
and say, "Book of Prophecies."
That's how you summon it.
You don't even know the basics?
B-Book of Prophecies?
It really appeared!
Now write.
Skip one word, and you're dead.
What's the matter?
Why are you slowing down?
My arm hurts.
If I give you the book,
will you let me go?
No.
Why didn't I notice that he
was just a good-looking jerk?
I could've already taken it away from her.
But the book is
a Hero-grade relic at Grade S.
PANDORA'S RELIC RANKING
GRADE SS (GOD-GRADE)
GRADE S (HERO-GRADE) - BOOK OF PROPHECIES
GRADE A (EPIC-GRADE) - MURAMASA
GRADE B (RARE-GRADE) - GOL
The penalty would definitely be massive.
Unlike with Muramasa, which was Grade A,
it definitely wouldn't stop
with just my arm this time.
I'm afraid I must insist.
We're here under orders.
Cooperate, and we'll be gone quickly.
Those idiots found us.
That's enough.
P-Please don't.
Am I no longer useful to you alive?
You're misunderstanding.
Argh, you damn human!
What do you think you're doing?
This is the only way you'll survive.
[CRUEL RELIC DESTROYER]
YOU ACQUIRED A NEW TITLE.
YOUR DOMINANCE HAS INCREASED.
YOUR AFFINITY HAS DECREASED.
YOUR ABILITY TO DETECT RELICS HAS IMPROVED.
THE SKILL "SPY" HAS REACHED RANK E.
YOU DESTROYED A HIGH-GRADE RELIC AND
DISCOVERED THE HIDDEN SKILL "GIANT HUNTER."
Oh? "Giant Hunter"?
Freeze!
Don't move!
N-No, the Book of Prophecies!
What's going on here?
Do I really need to explain?
You bastard You'll pay for this!
How funny.
W-What?
Have a bite of this instead.
DELICIOUS HOMEMADE RICE CAKE
(GRADE C - COMMON / CONSUMABLE RELIC)
INSTANT FOOD (SINGLE USE)
You'll love it.
What is this guy plotting?
Oh? Where did he go?
What's that smell?
It smells divine!
That's mine!
Have you idiots forgotten
who's in command here? It's mine!
You're not the only one with a weapon.
You dishonorable bastard!
Hand over the rice cake!
That cake is for me alone!
You're not getting a single crumb!
Now let go already!!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Found it.
The Great Tomb Manifestation.
Back then, the entire world
was swallowed by a colossal tomb.
It also caused far more relics
to start circulating.
And then
"There, the god who knows the depths
of your greed will henceforth join you.
Go to the market of greed
ripening underground in January.
There, the omen will begin
and the catastrophe will unfold."
That must mean the secret
Midas auction house in Las Vegas.
And among the participants
I'll find him too.
We found three participants
with the initials JK.
Nice work.
Is one of them the one you're looking for?
Oh, yes.
That's Taejoon Kwon's fake identity.
NATIONALITY: PROBABLY KOREAN
HEIGHT: 1.85 M
WEIGHT: 80 KG
AGE: APPROX. 50
If he's here, some useful relics
must be up for auction.
None of them are God-grade, though.
Then what was the prophecy referring to?
The Code of Hammurabi,
Shakespeare's Pen
There are still a few useful things here.
Hm? Are you going to bid?
You do know that starting bids
begin at one billion won?
I don't have any money right now.
Huh?
Did you forget where we are?
Let's make some quick cash.
Here in Las Vegas, there's
money around every corner.
The Book of Prophecies was destroyed.
And he also shook off the JSDF soldiers.
Really? He did that all by himself?
Apparently. Should I take care of him?
No. Not if he's capable enough
to destroy a relic like that.
Someone like him would make
a valuable addition to our team.
Understood.
What the?
H-How is this possible?
Unbelievable!
How is he hitting the jackpot
on every machine?
Is he using some kind of trick?
Again?!
All right, that should be enough.
One moment, please.
We need to inspect you briefly.
No guest has ever hit
this many jackpots in a row before.
Of course.
What's this?
That's actually the Golden Axe.
Ah, I bought this pendant as a souvenir.
It also works as a pocket knife.
Excuse us.
I used the Golden Axe's ability
to filter out the machines
that were about to hit the jackpot.
This is so humiliating!
How long do I have to stay in this form?!
We've drawn enough
attention to ourselves.
Shall we move on?
Ah, damn it. What a hassle.
Could I get some space, please?
Why is everyone standing in the way?
Is this how you treat a VIP?
We meet again, you piece of trash.
They don't even have a separate entrance.
He's younger than he was back then,
but still just as disgusting.
If Siwoo is here, then
Out of the way. Come on.
Taejoon Kwon
This way, Mr. Kwon.
He doesn't know me yet.
Just you wait, Kwon.
You're leaving this auction empty-handed.
Oof!
Jooheon!
What's with the bag?
It's close! Really close!
The Silver Axe?
It's coming! Do you hear it?!
Unlike the Golden Axe,
which detects wealth for me,
the Silver Axe warns its owner
of lurking danger.
But what's gotten into it all of a sudden?
You bastard, you're cheating!
As if! Hand over the money already!
I'm ruined! Where am I
supposed to get all that money?
Oh? Why are the stock prices dropping?
I don't like this.
What's going on all of a sudden?
You lost the chips? Are you kidding me?
Everything was fine a second ago!
This is bullshit!
Not this!
This place is in absolute chaos.
How can this be?
Bullshit!
Is that
Irene Holton, the youngest daughter
of the American Holton family?
In the future, owners of God-grade relics
were known as Kings of Fate,
Conquest, or Abundance.
Among them, Irene Holton
possessed the most terrifying power.
She was the "Queen of Bankruptcy"
and drove everyone near her
to ruin without exception.
People lost their possessions or
fell ill. Companies went bankrupt.
I can't get too close to her.
Pack everything up.
We need to get out of here!
What's gotten into him?
Excuse me!
Please wait!
AN OMINOUS PRESENCE
IS EMANATING FROM THE DOOR.
THE RELICS IN YOUR POSSESSION
MAY TAKE MASSIVE DAMAGE!
WARNING
NUMBER OF USES (DURABILITY) DECREASING!
Oh, damn it!
One moment!
Would you please hear me out?
THE OMINOUS PRESENCE HAS GRABBED YOU!
YOUR RELICS HAVE TAKEN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE
AND HAVE BEEN GREATLY WEAKENED.
YOUR LUCK IS COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED.
ANY FURTHER ATTEMPT WILL END IN FAILURE.
Let go!
Oh, I'm sorry
I was just so relieved to see you
Seungwoo, what is wrong with him?
Why are you asking me?
Um
Were you the person who just
hit the jackpot dozens of times?
I've been looking for you.
Would you tell me your secret?
I'm afraid you've got the wrong person.
Hey, what the hell?
A goddess is showing interest in you,
and you just run off? Hello?!
Don't move.
We'll smooth things over for you.
E-Excuse me?
Um I guess I should speak English.
P-Please don't go?
These idiots
Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry.
Argh, my stomach.
I'm sorry.
Call 119, no, 112
Please hear me out!
It will only take ten, no,
five minutes. No more
Are you all right?
Do you really have to ask?
Well, what does it look like?
It's all because of you!
That's exactly
what I wanted to talk about.
What's that supposed to mean?
Everyone around me
is plagued by bad luck.
I want to change that
so I won't make anyone else unhappy.
Hold on
As the Queen of Bankruptcy, she drove
people and entire countries to ruin.
Is she putting on an act?
Will you tell me the secret of your luck?
I'll pay you as much as it takes!
I just don't get it
YOU WERE ONCE AGAIN EXPOSED
TO THE FATAL PRESENCE OF A GOD-GRADE RELIC.
YOUR SKILL "TOLERANCE" HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
My Tolerance?
YOUR TOLERANCE REDUCES
THE ENEMY RELIC'S EFFECT BY HALF.
Isn't that the skill I got from that pill?
???
(CONSUMABLE RELIC / GRADE ?)
INSTANT FOOD
And it activated
because of Irene's attack?
YOUR TOLERANCE REDUCES
THE ENEMY RELIC'S EFFECT BY HALF.
So? What do you say?
In that case, I don't need
to avoid this woman at all.
Just having her nearby
already strengthens my Tolerance.
On top of that, her presence
will bring bad luck to the other bidders.
This is an absolute win for me.
An intriguing proposal.
Unfortunately,
I have an appointment shortly.
Ah, I understand!
I would love to discuss
the details of our deal.
If only it weren't for the auction
Oh, um
Why don't you accompany me?
I'd be happy to!
We need a doctor, please!
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
We will now begin the 74th auction.
Thanks to Irene, two thirds of
the participants are already missing.
They must be dealing with
unexpected problems.
Even though his factory
in China caught fire,
Taejoon Kwon is still here.
He absolutely wants something
up for sale today.
Wow, a 100-year-old wine
from the Russian royal family!
The items I'm interested in
will come later.
Ah, I see.
Irene Holton, Queen of Bankruptcy.
She's so different
from how I remember her.
And she doesn't seem to know
anything about relics.
Maybe that thing attached
itself to her against her will.
So the Queen of Bankruptcy
was once a kindhearted woman?
Did that relic alone corrupt her
so much and ruin her life?
I wanted to thank you
for accepting my proposal.
Just telling someone about my worries
has already helped me so much.
Oh, it was no big deal.
THE RELIC RESPONDS TO ITS OWNER'S MOOD.
ITS POWER IS INCREASING EXPLOSIVELY.
No, really! I'm truly happy!
Gah! Is that an earthquake?
A POWERFUL RELIC'S ENERGY
SPREADS WITHIN A 1 KM RADIUS.
A MASSIVE WAVE OF MISFORTUNE
BURIES EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH.
THE RELICS IN YOUR POSSESSION
ARE TAKING HEAVY DAMAGE.
I'm going to break!
Do something, you bastard!
The misfortune gets stronger
the happier she is?
What kind of vile relic is this?!
Irene, please calm down.
We haven't even reached an agreement yet.
I-I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get carried away
As its owner's mood changes,
the relic's power decreases again.
T-The earthquake seems
to have stopped, fortunately.
The bid currently stands
at 770,000 dollars.
Does anyone bid more?
One million!
What the hell is this?!
Then you'll just have to bid higher.
I'm going to win anyway.
P-Please, calm down!
Hah, we'll see about that!
Everyone is losing their minds
because of the relic's effect.
That thing is mine and no one else's!
Wait Could I use this to knock
the other bidders out of the race?
Over my dead body!
Please don't feel bad.
I think you might be right.
Let's talk about the deal.
Really?
I made it sound like we could
solve her problem in no time.
And the happier she became,
the stronger the relic grew.
The participants
completely lost their minds
and fought over every single item
at the auction.
Kwon's Dominance must have
been ridiculously strong,
because he was barely affected
and even bought several relics.
Naturally, I only bid on useless relics
to lure him into buying them.
Code of Hammurabi
Shakespeare's Pen
Marie-Antoinette's Necklace
Let's see: the Code of Hammurabi,
Shakespeare's Pen,
Marie-Antoinette's Necklace
But the God-grade relic from
the prophecy still hasn't appeared.
How is that possible?
Now it is time for our surprise item!
You may have already seen this
mysterious seedling in the news.
That's
Qin Shi Huang's Tree of Eternal Life!
Those soldiers must be a real pain,
with all the work they dump on you.
Oh? You speak Japanese?
A little, yes.
They're the worst.
