Tomb Raider King (2026) s01e05 Episode Script
The Owner of the Tree of Life
1
Who is that?
I see a bid.
No idea
And another one over there.
Damn it. Does Kwon know what this is too?
Emperor Qin was an ancient Chinese ruler.
Seeking immortality,
he sent his people everywhere
to search for this tree.
Before I died,
when relic poison ravaged my body,
the fruit of this healing relic
was the only thing keeping me alive.
That's why I had no choice
but to do Kwon's dirty work.
With this relic, he kept me on a leash.
So this is where that old bastard got it.
If I don't act now,
I'll face the same future again.
This time, I have to win.
Things are getting exciting.
And for good reason.
The fruit of this almond tree
is said to have an incredible effect
on male potency.
You idiots don't know a thing!
This tree isn't Viagra, damn it!
We will begin with a starting bid
of 200,000 dollars!
Five hundred thousand!
Five hundred and five thousand!
What?
That tree won't help your limp dicks!
Ten million dollars!
M-Mr. Kwon!
Ten million?! Does that mean
Fifteen million!
Twenty million.
Twenty-two million.
Forty million.
Forty-five million!
Fifty million dollars!
Is it really that good for potency?
I was wondering the same thing.
Damn it. Fifty million dollars
I didn't expect this.
One hundred million dollars.
Mr. Kwon!
Irene.
Very well.
One hundred and fifty million dollars!
Did I hear that right?
One hundred and fifty m-million!
What?
From here on, the stage is hers.
One hundred and sixty million!
Two hundred million, hee hee.
Why is that woman
butting in all of a sudden?
Mr. Kwon, I'm sorry,
but you should stop here.
That's Irene Holton, the youngest
daughter of the Holton family!
Don't make me laugh.
Two hundred and twenty milli
Mr. Kwon!
Please restrain yourself!
When it comes to money,
you can't compete with the Holtons.
Three hundred million!
Three hundred and ten
Let go! Let go of me!
Please calm down, Mr. Kwon!
Sold!
Just a moment.
We will prepare everything at once.
Of course.
Thank you, though I feel
a little guilty about the final price.
If this finally solves my problem,
it's worth it.
Did you find a way
to share your luck with me?
A talisman, perhaps?
No.
You don't need to receive
anything from me.
Rather, you need
to give something to me.
Give it to me,
and your misfortune will disappear too.
She just needs to get rid
of the Bankruptcy Relic.
Good luck for her, a relic for me.
Two birds with one stone.
An item that follows me everywhere
I really can't think of anything.
Excuse me?
But that can't be
Has there perhaps been some kind of tattoo
that suddenly appeared on you?
Bingo.
That is typical for possessive relics.
The mark on Yuka Sasaki's arm
was a symbol of the contract between her
and the Book of Prophecies.
Unlike consumable relics, which
anyone can use a limited number of times,
possessive relics can be used
infinitely,
but only by their owner.
I-I'll show you a picture of it.
Here.
W-Wait
That's a parasitic relic.
They infect their own owners
and are extremely rare.
I can't simply separate the two of them.
Unfortunately, this won't be
as easy as I had hoped.
Let's find a solution together.
This is my number.
I won't abandon you with this,
so don't worry.
Thank you very much.
If I can't steal her power,
I'll use it for myself.
Thank you for your patience.
Here are the almond tree
and the other items you won.
You may take the tree with you now.
For the remaining items,
the fee is still due.
Do you need help carrying anything?
No need.
My people will take care of everything.
Hm? Why isn't anyone picking up?
Don't tell me
Shouldn't this be far enough?
There's no way that guy will find us.
Exactly!
How about a quick break?
Y-You think so?
We're rich, ha ha ha!
Look at all that cash!
Filthy rich!
With this, we're set for life.
Ah, my heart is racing.
You dare run off with my money?
J-Jooheon, how did you find us?
How do you think?
The Silver Axe led me straight here.
H-Hey, Jooheon. Listen, I
Shut up!
You'll pay for this.
Is that a pumice stone?
Why is it glowing Agh!
The ancient law code
of the king of Babylon.
It is the source of the famous phrase
"an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
A counter-type relic
that reflects the enemy's actions.
The staff member was kind enough
to let me take it already,
but I haven't had the chance
to test it yet.
Let's fix that now.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
betrayal for betrayal.
The Code of Hammurabi
basically reflects all enemy attacks,
but perhaps it can even influence
the target's future behavior.
THE CODE OF HAMMURABI
IS NOW MONITORING THE SELECTED TARGETS.
That's how laws work, after all.
What just happened?
G-Good question.
As long as you don't betray me,
nothing will happen to you.
But if you even think about doing
it again, it'll tear you to pieces.
No, never!
It won't happen again!
Now, here is your new job.
Make sure this tree bears fruit.
Plant me again this instant!
F-Fruit?
Get moving, you wretched humans!
Do as it says.
Its babbling is getting on my nerves.
I will curse you all! Just wait!
There, there. It's all right
And who are you?
Calm down first, okay?
Hm, your hands are most pleasant.
Oh really?
Yes, right there. That's good.
I could get used to this.
How unexpected.
The three of them must
have high Affinity.
Get away from me! Hands off!
I tried to bind him to me
with Dominance yesterday,
Don't touch me, human!
but the tree resisted far too much.
Agh, that hurts!
Hey, hey! Not so rough!
If he breaks, we're done!
Apparently, this relic likes
people with high Affinity.
That makes these guys
the perfect gardeners.
Easy now!
INCOMING CALL
That number I know it all too well.
So he must have already looked into me.
Hello?
Am I speaking to Jooheon Suh?
This is Taejoon Kwon from TKBM.
Mr. Kwon, hello. What can I do for you?
I'll get straight to the point.
I hear you are in possession
of Irene Holton's almond tree.
I would like to discuss that with you.
There's nothing to discuss. Goodbye.
How dare he?
Mr. Kwon, I will retrieve the tree.
Hm? You?
I only need access to the company relics.
We're talking about
an ordinary civilian, after all.
If I handle this well,
I'll score some points with Mr. Kwon.
The Silver Axe sounded the alarm days ago.
So they're already on my trail.
These idiots
They're so slow,
I'm getting tired of waiting.
Excuse me.
Finally.
Are you Jooheon Suh, by any chance?
Siwoo Yoon came here all alone?
Ha, they're seriously underestimating me.
Mr. Suh?
Oh, he has a relic with him.
Hey, I'm talking to you!
Answer me already!
Goodness, I'm terribly sorry.
You must have startled me
May I help you?
You damn bastard!
You know exactly who I am!
We met at the Midas auction house.
Did we?
Ah, of course!
You were that old bastard's doormat!
His what?
How dare you!
YOUR OPPONENT HAS LOST HIS COMPOSURE.
HIS DOMINANCE HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY WEAKENED.
Just as I thought.
Siwoo Yoon. He likes to put on airs,
but is really just compensating.
Press on that sore spot,
and he completely loses control.
And since Dominance depends
on one's mental state,
he can no longer use high-grade relics.
Right, Mr. Kwon called me recently too.
Sounds like he's having trouble
getting it up, huh?
I almost feel sorry for him, ha ha.
What?!
You bastard!
W-Why won't it come out?
Aargh, my nose!
Not very smart, using a relic
with weakened Dominance.
You bastard, you know about relics?
What kind of question is that?
I'll be taking this.
Y-You can forget it!
A possessive relic.
Well, I'm your new owner now.
Who are you, human?
Ooh, your Dominance is quite impressive.
I would be happy to obey you.
No, don't!
The Voodoo Priest's Zombie Powder.
A possessive Grade A relic.
Voodoo originally developed
in the context of the slave trade.
Africans believed that sinners
would become zombies.
Touch or inhale this powder,
and you briefly turn
into a mindless zombie.
So his own relic will be his downfall.
This should slow Kwon down for now.
Does he belong to you?
That useless fool!
He apparently stripped naked
and acted like a zombie.
They seem to be preparing a drug test
So what?
Just bring me back the relics!
Um, well
Mr. Yoon had nothing on him
when he was arrested.
What?
Call Ms. Lee here immediately!
Y-Yes, sir!
Then we'll have to adjust our strategy.
Urgh, my back! Ow, ow, ow!
Hey, Jooheon.
"Boss."
Ah, right. B-Boss!
This stuff is really heavy.
Do you actually need all of it?
Yes, so make sure nothing gets lost.
This is all our capital.
None of this looks that valuable.
That was a pretty good haul.
I almost had too much luck.
First, in Korea, I got my hands on
the Egyptian Funeral Dagger,
the Axes of Gold and Silver,
the rope from heaven, and Muramasa.
Then came the new additions from Vegas:
the Code of Hammurabi,
Shakespeare's Pen,
Marie-Antoinette's Necklace,
and Qin Shi Huang's Tree of Eternal Life.
Then I took a few relics from Siwoo too.
The Zombie Powder, the Wealthy Grain Relic,
and Homer's Spectacles.
With these, we should be well
equipped to collect even more relics.
Mr. Jooheon Suh?
I am Jinah Lee,
legal representative of TKBM.
Well, look at that.
There is no need to worry.
Mr. Kwon holds your abilities
in very high regard.
I am here to offer you
a contract on TKBM's behalf.
It includes a payment
of 100 million dollars.
In addition, you will
receive a monthly salary.
No one will interfere
with your private life.
You will simply act as part of our team.
I was wondering what this was about.
So he wants to offer me a slave contract?
You should watch what you say.
What do you think will happen if Mr. Kwon
demands the stolen items back?
He could wipe out a rat hole
like the Xiang Gallery in no time,
and your people could also die
of an unknown disease.
Naturally, the same goes for you.
Aah. So if I want to live,
I need to fall in line?
Mrs. Lee, you should choose
your enemies more carefully.
Otherwise, you will be the one
who disappears without a trace.
The Zombie Powder?
Ha, don't be ridiculous.
You can't use that relic
in front of all these people.
Oh, can't I? Let's find out.
Damn it!
Take this!
An eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth.
I'm going to throw that right back at you!
Hm?
What was that?
Unbelievable!
Are they shooting a movie?
There, that should give us
plenty of witnesses.
Let's end this.
We need backup!
I repeat, we need backup!
There has been an attack at the café!
Send everyone here immediately!
A naked woman is reportedly harassing
the other guests in front of the café.
Damn it.
PAINTER'S INK FROM THE MONTMARTRE DISTRIC
What an unexpected find.
Human, follow my voice.
Danger is approaching.
Raven?
Huh?
What raven?
And why are you staring into space, Jae
Boss.
They can't hear the raven, then.
Come on. Come to me.
You relic don't get to order me around!
You sent me back into the past,
ignored my questions,
and now you want to give me orders?
You will regret this.
As if I'd trust a relic!
What a mess.
Jooheon Suh, was it?
Taejoon Kwon
That guy is seriously here.
What do we do now?
I am Taejoon Kwon, chairman of TKBM.
Ah, uh Hello!
Nice to me
Silence.
W-What's wrong with you?!
Are you okay?!
Seungwoo!
Who is that?
I see a bid.
No idea
