All language subtitles for The Legend of Korra - 1x08 - When Extremes Meet

TENZIN: Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can master
all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

NARRATOR: Republic City is at war!

After discovering that her father,
Hiroshi Sato, is working with the enemy,

Asami turns against him.

And following another defeat
at the hands of the Equalists,

Lin Beifong resigns as chief of police.

With the Equalist army
growing stronger,

who will help the Avatar stop Amon
and restore balance to the city?

(PABU CHIRPS)

IKKI: You're finally here!

Welcome to Air Temple Island,

your new home.

Yes! Welcome to my domain!

Well, aren't you sweet, little monk child?

What's that fuzzy creature?

JINORA: That is a fire ferret,

an arboreal mammal

common to the bamboo forests
of the central Earth Kingdom.

(GASPS) He's cute!

(HISSES)

Yip yip. Fly, sky bison. Fly!

Thanks for sending the Air Acolytes
to help us with the move.

Yes, they've been amazing.

Such tireless workers.

I thought you were only bringing
a few things.

Trust me, it could've been worse.

No problem. Everyone here wants
you guys to feel welcome.

(PABU CHIRPING)

(IKKI HUMMING)

You're pretty.
Can I have some of your hair?

Looks like I have some competition.

And now for the grand tour!

The flying bison sleep
in those caves down there,

and that's the temple
Grandpa Aang built,

and that's the greenhouse
where we grow the vegetables we eat.

I have a couple questions.
Is this an all-vegetarian island?

Is that where you train airbending?

Do we have to wear Air Acolyte clothes?

Do we each get our own sky bison?

And final question,
how many trees are on this island?

Yes, yes, no, no, 10,552.

So, where are we going to be staying?

You're a boy.
Boys have to stay on the boys' side.

I'd be happy to show you
to the men's dormitory!

BOLIN: I'm a boy!

KORRA: Meelo, why don't you go
with the boys, too?

We shall meet again soon,
beautiful woman.

Ikki and I will take you to your room,
this way.

Asami, did you know Korra likes Mako?

Oh, uh...

No, I wasn't completely aware of that.

- Hey!
- KORRA: Run along, Ikki!

Oh...

(HISSING AND YOWLING)

(SIGHS)

So...

Here's your room.

I know this is a little rustic
compared to what you're used to.

I think it's really charming.

And the best part about it?

Nothing here reminds me of my father.

- Thank you for your hospitality.
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Ikki, I swear, if you don't leave us alone,
I'm gonna...

Uh... Tenzin! Come right in!

Good day, ladies.

Asami, welcome to the Island.

Thank you for having me.

Beifong's replacement, Saikhan,

is going to be inducted
as the new chief of police later.

I think we should both be there.

SAIKHAN: It was an honor serving under
Chief Beifong for so many years,

and I wish her a speedy recovery.

It is with great humility

that I take her place
as the new chief of police.

Republic City is facing a threat
like none the world has ever seen.

But there is one man who has been
effective against Amon's revolution,

Councilman Tarrlok.

That is why, for all matters
involving the Equalists,

I will report directly to him.

The police department will lend
any and all available resources

to the Councilman and his task force,
until we quell this insurgency.

What is that weasel-snake
Tarrlok up to now?

Tarrlok, I don't know what you did
to get Chief Saikhan in your pocket,

but I highly doubt it was legal.

Oh, Tenzin, always
the conspiracy theorist.

Did you ever consider
Saikhan simply recognizes my talents

and wants what is best for this city?

(SCOFFS)

TARRLOK: Well, Avatar Korra,
long time no see.

Now that your little Pro-bending
distractions are over,

I look forward to your return
to my task force.

Ha! Forget it. There's no way
I'm rejoining your vanity project.

That is unfortunate to hear.

But I am sure
you will come to your senses,

as you have in the past.

Don't hold your breath, bub.

You know,
Tenzin's been right about you all along.

You played me, you played Beifong,

and now you're playing
the new Chief, too.

Well, I got news for you.

You need me, but I don't need you.

I'm the Avatar.

You are not, in fact, the Avatar.

You are merely
a half-baked Avatar-in-training.

Which reminds me,
how is your airbending going?

Made any significant progress with that?

I didn't think so.

If you will not be part of my task force,

then you had best stay out of my way.

KORRA: I don't understand
what's wrong with me.

I've memorized nearly
all of the practice forms,

but I still can't produce
a single, measly puff of air!

I'm a failure.

No, you're not.

You just need to work
through this airbending block.

Amazing advice. I'll get right on that.

I wasn't finished yet.

You see, Aang not only had
his bending teachers,

but also his past lives
to call upon for guidance.

Have you ever made contact
with your past lives?

No, of course I haven't.

Didn't you get the memo
from the White Lotus?

I'm a spiritual failure, too.

You may have made a connection
without realizing it.

Perhaps something
you mistook as a dream?

Maybe.

I had a few weird hallucinations,

but I hardly even remember them.

And did you see any of the previous
Avatars in these visions?

I saw Aang.

It seemed like he was in trouble.

What do you think it means?

Hmm...

I don't know, but I urge you
to meditate on these visions.

I believe Aang's spirit must
be trying to tell you something.

BOLIN: Korra! You out here?

(CHIRPS)

Korra!

There you are.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Come on, what's wrong?

You can tell us.

(SIGHS)

How am I supposed to save the city
when I can't even learn airbending?

I'm the worst Avatar ever.

I just feel alone.

No, that's nonsense. You're amazing!

Yeah, and remember,

Aang hadn't mastered all the elements
when he was battling the Fire Nation.

He was just a little kid!

And he wasn't alone,
he had his friends to help him.

Look, the arena might be shut down,
but we're still a team.

The new Team Avatar!

We've got your back, Korra.

And we can save the city together.

Yeah, let's do it!

(FARTING)

Yeah, let's do it!

What are we doing?

(ALL LAUGHING)

BOLIN: Get ready, Republic City.

You are about to be patrolled
by Team Avatar.

Asami, you always know how
to accessorize your outfits.

I figure one way to fight Equalists is
to use an Equalist weapon.

All right, let's ride.

Naga, away!

(ALL GRUNTING)

All right, scratch that. Any other ideas?

Hmm... I think I have the answer.

You think this'll do?

I like the new Team Avatar's style.

DISPATCHER: (OVER RADIO) Unit 216,
cancel that 10-58 at Harmony Tower.

Come back to the station, over.

My dad had police scanners
installed in all of his cars.

I guess now I know why.

DISPATCHER: Calling all units,
level four alert.

Jailbreak at headquarters.
Officers down, electrocuted.

Chi-blockers and Equalist convicts
are still at large, armed and dangerous.

- Last seen heading east.
- Whoa!

I repeat, level four alert,
Equalist jailbreak.

BOLIN: Chi-blockers! That's them!

Let's get 'em!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Korra, Bolin, give me a ramp, now!

ALL: Whoa!

Gah!

Help me out! We gotta make this turn!

They don't know we made the turn.

Okay, get ready.

(BOLIN GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

(MUFFLED SCREAMING)

(MAKO GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(SIRENS APPROACHING)

Avatar Korra,
what do you think you're doing?

Oh, hey, Tarrlok.
Nice of you to show up finally.

Here, we captured
the escaped convicts for you.

What you did was tear up the city

and impede the real authorities
in their pursuit of these criminals.

Hmm. That's funny,

I didn't see your little task force
or the cops the whole time.

If it wasn't for Team Avatar,
they would've gotten away.

This is your last warning,
stay out of my way.

TARRLOK: Republic City stands
as a beacon of freedom.

But the Equalists are using
that freedom to tear it down.

The law I have proposed
would make it illegal

for anyone to be a member
of the Equalists

or even be associated with them.

It also puts into effect a curfew,

ensuring all non-benders
are in their own homes by nightfall.

This is going too far, Tarrlok.

You can't punish all non-benders
for the actions of a few.

That kind of cowardice will cause
our city to fall into Amon's hands.

We must pass this law.

All in favor?

(SIGHS)

DISPATCHER: All available units,
please respond

to the 5600 block
of Dragon Flats Borough.

Equalists have taken to the streets.

Consider them armed and dangerous.
Proceed with caution.

BOLIN: I call front.

After you.

KORRA: What a gentleman. Thanks.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

KORRA: Why is the power out?

(JEERING)

Wait a second, these people
aren't armed or dangerous.

- Sure doesn't look that way.
- (STATIC ON MEGAPHONE)

All non-benders,
return to your homes immediately!

Yeah, as soon as you turn
our power back on!

Disperse or you will all be arrested!

You benders can't treat us this way!

Mommy, look, it's the Avatar.

WOMAN: Please, help us.

You're our Avatar, too.

- (BOTH GRUNT)
- Everyone, please stay calm.

I'm gonna put a stop to this.

Tarrlok,

you need to turn the power back on
and leave these people alone.

Avatar Korra, you and your playmates
have no business here.

We're not going anywhere.

You don't have the right to treat
these innocent people like criminals.

This is an Equalist rally.

There is nothing innocent about it.

They're not Equalists.

They're just normal people
who want their rights back.

They are the enemy.

Round up all these Equalists!

(CONFUSED CLAMORING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

KORRA: Stop!

(GROWLS)

(ASAMI GRUNTS)

Hey! Let me go!

TARRLOK: You're under arrest.

What? You can't do that!

Actually, I can.

She's a non-bender out past curfew,

and her father
is a known Equalist conspirator.

Let her go!

Arrest him and his brother.

(BOTH STRUGGLING)

Tarrlok!

Unless you want to join
your friends in prison,

I suggest you put those down
and go back to the Air Temple.

MAKO: Korra, listen to him.
It's not worth it.

We'll be all right.

Don't worry, I'll call Tenzin.
He can get you out!

So sad to see your little
Team Avatar broken up.

You had a good run.

This isn't over, Tarrlok!

Oh, I believe it is.

Take them away.

(SIRENS BLARING)

- Hey!
- I came as fast as I could.

Are your friends all right?

I don't know, these knuckleheads
won't tell me anything.

I'll take care of this.

- (EXCLAIMS IN SURPRISE)
- Saikhan, a word, please.

Councilman Tenzin, I'm pretty swamped
at the moment. Can this wait?

No, it cannot.

Three of Avatar Korra's friends
were wrongly arrested tonight.

I'd like you to release them immediately.

They're not going anywhere.

They were interfering
with police business.

Your so-called police business
was rounding up innocent people

and claiming they were Equalists.

They should be released, too!

All Equalist suspects
are being detained indefinitely.

They'll be freed if and when
the task force deems

they are no longer a threat.

Those people are entitled
to due process under the law.

You'll have to take that up
with Councilman Tarrlok.

Oh, I plan to at the Council meeting,
first thing in the morning.

You're officially
the worst chief of police ever!

TENZIN: Calm down, Korra.

I'll get this sorted out.
We just need to be patient.

But you really are the worst. Ever.

(GROANS)

Wake up, Naga. Let's go.

Wait for me here, girl.

- Don't worry, I'll be all right.
- (SNUFFLING)

(CRASH)

You and I need to talk.

Are any of the other
Council members here?

I believe everyone has gone home
for the night.

Then you should do the same.

Are you sure, sir?

Leave us.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You obviously have
something on your mind.

Spit it out.

Don't you see? You're doing exactly
what Amon says is wrong with benders.

You're using your power to oppress
and intimidate people.

And you don't?

Of... Of course not!

Isn't that what you came here to do?

Intimidate me
into releasing your friends?

See, that's what
I admire about you, Korra,

your willingness to go to extremes
in order to get what you want.

It is a quality we both share.

You and I are nothing alike.

Look, I'll make you a deal.

You fall in line and do what I say,

and I'll release your friends.

That's why you arrested them?
To get to me?

I need your answer.

No.

You might be able to manipulate
Chief Saikhan into following you,

but it won't work on me.

You will regret that decision.

You need to be stopped!

You're just as bad as Amon.

I've tried to work with you, Korra,
but you've made it impossible.

(GRUNTS)

(ICE SHATTERING)

(GASPS)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Still think I'm a half-baked Avatar?

What are you gonna do now?

You're all out of water, pal.

(KORRA GRUNTING IN PAIN)

(CRIES OUT)

You're in my way, Avatar,

and you need to be removed.

(STRUGGLING) You're a...

You're a Bloodbender?

Very observant.

It's not a full moon. How...

How are you doing this?

There are a lot of things
you don't know about me.

(GRUNTS)

(KORRA GROANING)

Where are you taking me?

Somewhere no one will find you.

Say goodbye to Republic City,
Avatar Korra.

You'll never see it again.

(YELLING IN ANGER)

You can't do this!

Let me out!

No!
