The Legend of Korra

Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the avatar can master all four elements

And bring balance to the world.

- After kuvira harvested spirit vines from the swamp,

The vines in republic city reacted by abducting people.

Korra saved everyone, but all is not well.

Varrick and bolin returned to warn everyone

About kuvira's spirit vine super weapon.

Now raiko wants to mount a defense

Against the earth empire.

Meanwhile, bolin, opal, and lin are on a mission

To rescue su beifong and her family,

Who are being held captive by kuvira.

All right, let's do this.

Saving the beifongs and saving our love

Because I vow to repair the rift that has grown betwixt us

And make us whole again!

You, zip it now.

I had enough of your babble on the ride in.

Yes, ma'am.

- Kuvira tore down all the domes.

Why would she do that?

- She's got a whole battalion of troops stationed there.

There's no way we'll be able to spot anything useful from here.

We'll have to go in for a closer look.

Don't bother.

All the prisoners have been moved.

Uh, hey, chief.

Hey, chief.

Grandma toph!

You were only up to my waist

The last time we were together.

- Oh, man! Oh, I can't!

This can't be happening!

- What? Do you have to pee or something?

No, well, now maybe.

You're my hero! My name is bolin.

I'm dating your granddaughter, I mean, kind of.

I may have screwed that up, but that's why I'm here,

And you're my hero!

Oh, I said that.

Can I have a hug too?

What's up with him?

He's an actor.

So you already checked the city for su?

How did you know she was captured?

I've been living in the swamp

And keeping watch on zaofu through the vines.

Sure, okay, makes sense.

- By the time I got here, they were gone.

I snooped around town and heard that they were taken away

To some nearby prison camp.

Where would that be?

- There's a factory and reeducation facility

Not too far away.

How do you know that?

Bolin used to work for kuvira.

How did you end up dating

The kind of dipstick who works for kuvira?

Used to!

- It's not his silver tongue, I can tell you that.

- Please tell me this attitude isn't hereditary.

Grandma, this is juicy.

And I thought appa was smelly.

Why would you choose this leaky, nasty thing?

- You don't choose your bison. He chooses you.

And once he chooses you, you can't change.

Believe me. I checked.

- The borders are secure, and troops are guarding

The rail lines into the city.

So what have you two geniuses come up with

To fend off kuvira?

It's a flying mecha-suit.

Asami got the idea from watching dragonfly-hummingbirds.

You can take off straight up, fly in any direction.

- Where does the spirit ray come out?

It doesn't have a spirit ray.

I'm telling you what I told kuvira:

That technology should not be used.

- It's already being used by kuvira!

I need spirit vine weapons, and I need them now!

- No. It was kuvira's harvesting of the vines in the swamp

That caused the republic city vines

To go crazy and grab all those people.

- You're supposed to be the bridge between the two worlds.

Why can't you harvest the vines?

I won't do that,

But maybe since the spirits love republic city so much,

I can convince them to help us defend it somehow.

Hmm.

- Okay, maybe while the weapon geniuses

And the spirit bridge are getting ready for battle,

We should be evacuating the ordinary citizens

So that if kuvira attacks, they won't be hurt.

That's actually a good idea.

Prince wu, you work with the police to coordinate

Getting people out of the city.

Now everyone get to it. I want daily updates.

- Nice job in there. I'm proud of you.

You're starting to act like the kind of king

I'd like to work for. - Thanks.

And if korra buys this "man of the people" thing,

I still might get to date her.

You always have to ruin it.

What? Come on!

Why do you think guys do anything great?

To pick up girls.

Every work of art,

Every song, every city evacuation

All for the ladies.

- All right, everybody, let's test the power core.

I want everything in order for the full demonstration

For kuvira tomorrow.

Load the energy capsule.

Zhu li, initialize phase one.

- There's a problem with the condenser.

It's backing up.

Shut it down.

- I can't. The override isn't working.

Everyone needs to evacuate.

This thing is going to blow!

Everyone get out! Now!

- Come on, baatar! It's too late!

- This channeling ring was cracked.

That's what caused the reaction to overload.

Now we're taking this whole thing apart tonight

And checking everything.

Nothing is too small.

This has to be ready by tomorrow.

- So how long has it been since you two have seen each other?

- Little while now. Couple of years.

Try 20.

- Ah, time flies when you get to be my age.

I'm surprised you came to save su.

I thought you guys didn't get along.

- Su and I finally worked out our old grievances.

- Good, glad we can put all that behind us.

Right. "we."

Okay, there's the factory.

- Whoa, that's one big... Thing.

I think I know where they are.

Feel that cavern a few stories down?

It seems empty, but it's guarded by an awful lot of mech.

Right.

Why would you need soldiers guarding an empty cavern?

They must have them in some kind of suspended prison,

So they can't use their earthbending.

- Someone's coming. Hide!

- I didn't expect you until tomorrow.

I just wanted to check in

To make sure everything was on track.

It looks wonderful.

- We've had a few minor malfunctions,

But we should be ready for the test tomorrow.

- You've been working on this the entire time, zhu li.

What do you think the problem is?

It's a very complex machine.

There are bound to be some bugs to work out.

- But you're doing everything you can to fix those, correct?

Of course, your eminence.

She's lying.

- Tell the troops and factory workers

To attend tomorrow's demonstration.

I want them all to witness this incredible new weapon in action.

We should be thinking of a way

To take out kuvira while we have the chance.

- Or at least destroy the cannon.

If she takes that to republic city,

It could obliterate everything.

- I didn't come to fight with kuvira or destroy a cannon.

I'm here to save my family.

It will take everything we have just to get out alive.

Hmm.

Kuvira wants every single one of her people

To see the weapon test tomorrow,

So the factory will be mostly empty then.

That's our best chance to sneak in

And free su without being spotted.

Good thinking, bolin.

- Thanks. I kind of have a headache now.

Excuse me, spirit?

Can I talk to--

And you're gone.

Just like all the other spirits.

They're abandoning the city.

- So let me ask you about metalbending.

Su tried to teach me, but I couldn't get the hang of it.

- I used to have an academy to train metalbending.

Even blockheads like you can figure it out

With the right instruction.

- Yeah, you're a real sensitive instructor.

I did learn how to lavabend.

Really?

It's a very rare ability.

Maybe you do have some talent.

- I can't believe you think I'm talented.

That means so much to me coming from my hero.
