Original subtitles

TENZIN: Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

NARRATOR: After a close encounter with Amon,

Korra took a leave of absence from Tarrlok's task force.

But the Avatar has still been hard at work,

leading the underdog Fire Ferrets to the Pro-bending championship finals.

Only one team stands in their way, the Wolf-bats.

Led by team captain Tahno,

the brutal Wolf-bats look to repeat as champs.

Have the Fire Ferrets finally met their match?

(JAZZ PLAYING ON RADIO)

ANNOUNCER: You are listening to the Music Hour,

brought to you by Cabbage Corp.

Republic City's trusted name in technology for over 50 years.

KORRA: Man, I got a good feeling about tonight!

I don't care if we are the underdogs, we can take those pompous Wolf-bats.

It's going to be our toughest match ever, but I think you're right.

Introducing your new champs, the fantastic Fire Ferrets!

(STATIC ON RADIO)

AMON: Good morning, citizens of Republic City.

This is Amon.

I hope you all enjoyed last night's Pro-bending match,

because it will be the last.

It's time for this city to stop worshipping bending athletes

as if they were heroes.

I am calling on the Council to shut down the bending Arena

and cancel the finals,

or else there will be severe consequences.

- (STATIC) - That guy's got some nerve!

You think the Council will give in?

I'm not waiting to find out. We need to get to City Hall.

Korra, you shouldn't be here. This is a closed meeting.

As the Avatar, and a Pro-bending player, I have a right to be heard.

You can't cancel the finals.

I know winning the Championship means a lot to you,

but as far as I'm concerned, we need to shut the Arena down.

What about the rest of you?

Tarrlok, there's no way you're backing down from Amon, right?

Actually, Tenzin and I agree, for once.

The Council is unanimous. We're closing the Arena.

- No! - You can't!

I don't understand.

I thought you of all people would take a stand against Amon.

While I am still committed to bringing that lunatic to justice,

I will not put innocent lives at stake,

just so you and your friends can play a game.

Pro-bending might only be a game to you,

but think of what it means to the city.

Right now the Arena is the one place where benders and non-benders

gather together in peace

- to watch benders... - Beat each other up

in peace!

It's an inspiration to everyone!

I appreciate your naive idealism,

but you're ignoring the reality of the situation.

The reality is, if you close the Arena, you let Amon win!

Yes, exactly what she said! Yes.

I'm sorry, but our decision has been made.

This meeting is adjourned.

(GASPS)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with the Avatar.

- You do? - Yeah, you do?

I expected this kind of cut and run response from Tenzin,

but the rest of you?

Come on, show a little more backbone.

It's time that the benders of this city

displayed some strength and unity against these Equalists.

We must prevent the conflict between benders and non-benders

from escalating into all-out war!

The Council is not changing its position, Lin.

Now, just a moment, Tenzin.

Let us hear what our esteemed Chief of Police has in mind.

If you keep the Arena open,

my metalbenders and I

will provide extra security during the Championship match.

There's no better force to deal with the Chi-blockers.

Our armor is impervious to their attacks.

Are you saying that you will personally take responsibility

for the safety of the spectators in the Arena?

I guarantee it.

It is hard to argue with Chief Beifong's track record.

If she is confident her elite officers can protect the Arena,

then she has my support.

I am changing my vote.

Who else is with me?

The Arena stays open.

Good luck in the finals.

- All right! - Thank you!

And good luck to you, Chief Beifong.

A word, please, Lin.

Tarrlok's playing you, and I don't want to see you get hurt.

I know what I'm doing and the risks that come with it.

In that case, I'm going to be by your side during the match.

You don't need to babysit me.

It's for Korra. I want to make sure she's safe.

Do what you want. It's not like I've ever been able to stop you before.

Excuse me, Chief Beifong? I wanted to thank you for your help.

It really means a lot.

(SCOFFS)

What is her deal?

Even when she's on my side, she's against me.

I've known Lin since we were children.

She's always been

challenging.

What did your father do to make her hate the Avatar so much?

My father and Lin got along famously.

I'm afraid her issues are with me.

(GASPS) Wait a second.

It all makes sense now!

You and Beifong, Beifong and you. You two were a couple!

What? How... Where'd you get that idea?

Ha! Your wife.

Criminy! I'll have to have a word with her.

So Pema stole you from Beifong?

I'm surprised our esteemed Chief of Police didn't throw her in jail.

Oh, she tried.

Anyway, Pema didn't "steal" me.

Lin and I had been growing apart for some time.

We both had different goals in life...

Why am I even telling you this?

It all happened a long time ago and we've moved past it.

Hmm. (CLICKS TONGUE) Apparently Beifong hasn't.

What do you... (STAMMERING) Of course she has...

Anyway, this is none of your business!

See you at home, Mr. Heartbreaker! (LAUGHS)

I just got word.

The Council defied your threat.

They're keeping the Arena open.

Perfect.

Everything is going according to plan.

POLICE OFFICER: All clear, Chief.

- How is the security sweep going? - Fine.

They've checked underneath the stands?

Yes.

And you have enough officers to cover all points of entry?

I have the skies, the bay, and every nook and cranny of this place covered.

Now leave me alone and let me do my job.

Lin, with so much on the line,

it would be nice if we could help each other out, at least for one night.

- Like old times? - Like old times.

Okay, I'll try to be less abrasive than usual.

I would appreciate that.

SHIRO: The anticipation is palpable

as we are just moments away from the Championship match.

Will the wolf-bats' ferocity help them repeat as Champs,

or will the underdog Fire Ferrets serve up

a surprising bowl of smackdown soup?

Now I know there's a big crowd,

but don't be nervous, you're gonna do great.

I believe in you.

(CHIRPS)

(LOUD CHEERING)

Introducing the challengers,

the Future industries Fire Ferrets!

(BLOWS KISS)

Ugh.

(CROWD CHEERING)

You're on, Pabu!

(CHIRPING)

Yes! Nailed it! He's so talented.

RING ANNOUNCER: And their opponents,

the three-time defending champions,

the White Falls Wolf-bats!

(LOUD CHEERING)

(HOWLING)

(BOOING)

(SCOFFS) They got nothing on us, buddy. Anybody can howl.

(HOWLS FEEBLY) Whatever.

I'm gonna knock Tahno's stupid hair off his stupid head.

SHIRO: The champs and challengers face off at the center line.

- And here we go! - (BELL RINGS)

Tahno tries to clean the Avatar's clock with some dirty water-boxing!

Ming shakes off Mako's attack and returns the favor.

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

Shaozu gets fancy, but Bolin ricochets

a disk off the ropes and says, "No thank you, sir!"

- (CROWD CHEERING) - Nice shot!

The waterbenders slug it out, looking evenly matched.

Tahno gets a little too worked up

and unleashes a deluge on Bolin that will certainly elicit a foul...

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

Or apparently not!

(CROWD BOOING)

What's the big idea, ref? That was a hosing foul!

SHIRO: And the Wolf-bats advance

despite Tahno exceeding the waterbending time limit.

A questionable call by the officials.

Ming trips up Mako with another dirty trick!

- (BUZZER SOUNDS) - Oh, come on, refs!

There was some funny business in that last play!

Wouldn't have guessed you knew the rules of Pro-bending.

Mm, I've been brushing up.

That Wolf-bat blatantly bent a disk outside of his zone.

SHIRO: The Ferret brothers are backed up to Zone 3

and the Wolf-bats smell blood.

Looks like Tahno snuck in an illegal icing move,
