The Legend of Korra

Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

Someone has attacked

the Southern Water Tribe cultural center.

All the evidence points to Northern sympathizers,

but Mako suspects there's more to this case.

Meanwhile, Varrick has cast Bolin

as the hero of his newest mover.

Asami has also ventured into business with Varrick,

and a shipment of her mecha-tanks is on its way

to help the South in its war against Unalaq.

We're under attack!

Varrick is not gonna be happy about this.

Where is he?

Father said he would meet us at this location.

He'll be here.

Were you just in the spirit world?

Never mind that. Where is the Avatar?

She was within our grasp

until a dark spirit attacked her.

They're out of control.

You didn't get her?

The Avatar is dead.

We finally made it.

Now we must stop the Evil Unalaq!

The Southern Water Tribe is mine.

Next, I will conquer the world

with my water-bending doomsday device!

Don't worry, Juji and Roh-Tan,

I will end the Evil Unalaq's reign of terror.

For I am Nuktuk, hero of the South!

Nuktuk, you're not just the hero of the South,

you're our best friend.

Nuktuk-ity!

You two are the best snow raccoon and arctic panda

a guy could ask for.

All: Aww.

Bolin, look up there. What do you see?

I... is this a trick question?

I'll tell you what I see... a star being born.

You're a star. People love stars.

Stars tell them what to think and how to act.

Bolin, have you ever tried to force

a monkey-marmot to ride a bicycle?

Uh... not that I can recall.

Of course you haven't.

You can't force monkey-marmots to do anything.

They've got to want to do it themselves.

- Right. - With these movers,

we'll have the support of the people,

and before long, they'll persuade the president

to lend his troops to the war effort.

My evil plan is working.

I've captured Nuktuk's beautiful girlfriend.

Not so fast, Evil Unalaq!

Oh, I will save my true love and the South!

Both: Unh!

And now, your time is up.

It's no use fighting, Nuktuk.

My anti-energy net makes bending impossible.

No! Please.

Power... weakening.

Nuk-terrible.

Will this be the end of Nuktuk?

Can he escape from Unalaq's trap

and save the beautiful Ginger?

Find out next week on The Adventures of Nuktuk:

Hero of the South.

Wow. We got some major chemistry on-screen.

- Am I right? - Yeah. On-screen.

What's wrong?

Are you mad because I left you in the clutches

of the Evil Unalaq?

I'm gonna save you in the next episode.

Ginger, let's work through this.

Varrick, another one of your ships has been captured.

Darn it, Zhu Li, haven't I told you

I hate getting bad news without first getting good news?

Oh, well, the good news is

it looks like your first mover has gotten a great reception.

That's old news! Let's go.

Is it true?

I'm so sorry. Your entire shipment was stolen.

Without that sale, I don't know how much longer

I can keep my company going.

What am I gonna do?

Don't worry.

I'm gonna find whoever's responsible.

Chief Beifong is about to question

the captain of the ship.

I know it's been a long day,

but walk me through what happened.

We were ambushed about 30 klicks outside the harbor.

We never heard them coming.

This is the third attack this week.

At about the same location.

Yep, and smack-dab in Republic city's jurisdiction,

which means another problem for us.

All this stress is gonna turn old black beauty gray.

It's gotta be Northern Water Tribe.

They're trying to stop supply lines to the South.

I agree. Is there anything else

about the attack you remember?

Anything unusual?

There is one thing.

The bombs exploded in a way I've never seen before.

They didn't have fuses.

It was like they were being detonated remotely.

Like the bombs at the cultural center.

Wait, where are you going?

I gotta grab some evidence.

Asami, I heard the news.

I can't believe they took my fifth favorite ship

in the Varrick industries fleet!

Named her after my mom.

Rest in peace, rocky bottom.

Without the money from that shipment,

Future Industries is almost broke.

Chief, I think there's a link between this attack

and the attack at the cultural center.

What do you think you're doing?

Solving this case.

Did any of the people who attacked you

have one of these in their hand?

I think it's a remote detonator.

It was too dark to see anything.

Mako!

Chief, I don't think the people who attacked

were Northern Water ribe.

Of course they were Northern Water Tribe.

They were water-bending.

Was this one of the guys who attacked?

No, I don't recognize him.

Oh, that's embarrassing.

Nice try, rookie.

Mako, leave. Now.

Great work, everybody.

Another open and shut case for the dynamic mustachioed duo!

Wait, I think Mako might be onto something.

Chief, I know it's a long shot,

but I have an idea how we can catch these guys.

Yeah, let's all listen to the rookie.

He's doing a better job than you.

Who's hungry?

- Enough! -

I don't want to hear your lame-brained rookie ideas.

You're a beat cop, not a detective.

Now hit the street and do your job!

Lu and Gang are idiots.

I hate them and their stupid mustaches.

Forget them. What's this idea of yours?

A sting operation.

I was thinking we'd set up a bait ship,

take it out into the open ocean,

and capture whoever attacks it.

Let's do it.

It's not that easy.

For the plan to work, we need the police,

and Beifong already said no.

We can make it work, just the two of us.

I don't know.

I don't want to go behind Beifong's back.

If she finds out, I could get kicked off the force.

Mako, I need your help.

My mom is gone. My dad is in jail.

Future industries is all I have left of my family.

I want to help you,

but this is more than a two-person job.

First of all, we'd need a ship.

Both: Aah!

You need a ship? I got a ship.

I want in on whatever you're talking about.

I love being in on plans.

The less you know, the better.

Perfect! I love not knowing things.

All right, I'm in. Let's get these guys.

The ship's all loaded with the dummy crates.

Let's get this sting operation going.

Not yet. We need some extra manpower.

What about Korra?

No better muscle than the Avatar.
