Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can master all four elements

and bring baIance to the world.

The Avatar has been abducted!

After Tarrlok arrested her friends,

Korra confronted the councilman in his chambers.

But the heated argument quickIy turned into an aII-out bending battIe.

Desperate to save himseIf,

Tarrlok reveaIed his abiIity to bIoodbend

and took Korra far from Republic City.

Will the Avatar's friends find her before it's too late?

What are you doing?

Tarrlok!

You can't keep me in here forever!

Who is this? lt's 6:00 in the morning,

this better be important.

Councilman Tenzin here.

What?

What happened? What was Korra doing at City Hall?

As l told Chief Saikhan, Korra came to my office late last night.

She was upset that l arrested her friends.

She asked me to release them,

and that's when the Equalists attacked.

I tried to protect Korra, but we were outnumbered.

Then, l was electrocuted.

When l came to, the police had arrived, but Korra was gone.

l'm so sorry.

Chief Saikhan, mobilize the entire police force.

We have to find the Avatar.

We interrupt your reguIarly scheduIed broadcast

to bring you this speciaI report.

Late Iast night, Equalists attacked City Hall,

subduing Councilman Tarrlok and capturing Avatar Korra.

DetaiIs are stiII coming in, but...

Hope you got enough beauty rest.

Come on, l'm busting you out.

Thanks, l owe you.

Are you done yet?

Cover your ears. l can't go with you listening!

Asami!

A little privacy, please!

Are you all right?

l'm fine. lt's so good to see you.

Hate to break up your lovers' reunion,

but Korra's in trouble. Amon captured her.

No. No, she can't be gone.

Come on, we have an Avatar to rescue.

Your fly was down.

Thanks for catching that.

Somebody! Help! Please!

Please...

I urge you to meditate on these visions.

I beIieve Aang's spirit is trying to teII you something.

What are you doing here, Aang?

l told you, l have this under control.

Under normal circumstances, l wouldn't get involved.

But if what those victims said is true,

we're not dealing with a normal criminal.

Fine. Follow me, Twinkle Toes.

Toph, l'm 40 years old,

you think you could stop with the nicknames?

Afraid not.

lt's over. You're under arrest, Yakone.

What is Republic City coming to?

Used to be, a man could enjoy his lunch in peace.

What's the big idea?

We have dozens of witnesses, Yakone.

We know what you are.

Take him away.

l've beaten every trumped-up charge you yahoos have brought against me,

and l'll beat this one, too!

l finally connected with you, Aang.

But what are you trying to tell me?

A way out of this box would be nice.

l have to go.

Call me back the minute you hear anything.

Lin, what are you...

You should be in the hospital!

And you three, you should be in prison!

l figured you could use our help finding Korra.

Do you have any leads?

l've been on the phone all morning, but, nothing yet.

We need Naga. She can track Korra.

l'm afraid her polar bear-dog is missing as well.

Then where do we start?

My guess is the Equalists are hiding underground

in the maze of tunnels beneath the city.

Underground, just like my father's secret factory.

Figures.

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

When those Chi-blockers had me in their truck,

it sounded like we drove into a tunnel.

l know where to start looking. Come on!

Wherever Amon is keeping Korra,

l bet that's where my officers are, too.

Let's bring them all home, Lin.

The truck with Bolin took off down this alley.

Which way?

This way kind of smells familiar.

There's a tunnel nearby.

There!

Motorcycle tracks.

Korra has to be in there...

Somewhere.

Let's try this way.

And what if Korra's not down there?

Then we pick another tunnel until we find her.

Hey, is Mako all right?

He seems really worried about Korra.

Yeah, we all are.

l know, but he's your brother.

Do you think he likes Korra as more than just a friend?

What? No. That's just gossip, where'd you hear that?

Crazy talk is coming out of your mouth right now.

What do you know, Bolin? Come on, spill it.

Nothing! l mean...

There was this one time during the tournament

when Mako and Korra kissed, but...

They kissed?

Believe me, l was upset, too, but l'm over it.

l don't think it meant anything.

l doubt that.

Hide!

That tram goes to the training camp.

Everything was delivered to the prison, sir.

That's where they must be keeping Korra.

We need to get down that tunnel.

-lt's empty. -Yeah, l can see that.

You two keep an eye on them.

My officers are inside.

What about Korra?

l don't see her yet.

Avatar Korra, where are you keeping her?

Chief Beifong?

l'm too late.

That monster already took your bending, didn't he?

l'm so sorry.

Come on, let's get you out of here.

l'll ask you one more time.

Where is she?

We don't have the Avatar.

And the Equalists didn't attack City Hall.

-Tarrlok's lying. -What?

l scanned the entire prison. Korra's not here.

Why would Tarrlok make up a story about getting attacked?

Because he has Korra. He fooled us all.

Let's go, people!

Try to Chi-block that, fools!

We got more company!

Hang on!

Yakone has ruled Republic City's criminal empire for years.

Yet he has always managed to stay out of the law's reach,

until now.

You will hear testimony from dozens of his victims.

And they will tell you

Yakone has maintained his grip on the underworld

by using an ability that has been illegal for decades,

bloodbending.

The prosecution's entire case is built upon the make-believe notion

that my client is able to bloodbend at will,

at any time, on any day.

l remind the Council

that bloodbending is an incredibly rare skill,

and it can only be performed during a full moon.

Yet the witnesses will claim that my client used bloodbending

at every other time,

except during a full moon.

lt would be a mockery ofjustice

to convict a man of a crime that is impossible to commit.

Councilman Sokka will now deliver the verdict.

ln my years, l have encountered people

born with rare and unique bending abilities.

l once bested a man with my trusty boomerang

who was able to firebend with his mind.

Why, even metalbending was considered impossible

for all of history,

until our esteemed Chief of Police, Toph Beifong,

single-handedly developed the skill.

The overwhelming amount of testimony and evidence

has convinced this Council

that Yakone is one of these unique benders.

And he exploited his ability to commit these heinous crimes.

We find Yakone guilty of all charges

and sentence him to life in prison.

Thank you all for meeting us on such short notice.

-Chief. -Lin.

Have you news ofAvatar Korra?

We do. You kidnapped her, Tarrlok.

l am shocked you would accuse me of such an evil act.

l already explained, Equalists attacked us and took her!

But there were no Chi-blockers here last night.

You planted the evidence, didn't you?

That is a ridiculous accusation!

lt's true! He took her!

l was here when Avatar Korra arrived last night,

but Councilman Tarrlok ordered me to leave.

l was on my way out

when l saw Tarrlok bring her down to the garage...

Say goodbye to Republic City, Avatar Korra.

You'll never see it again.

That is nonsense!

Everyone knows you're nothing but a squeaky-voiced liar!

Why did you wait until now to fess up?

l was terrified to tell because...

Because Tarrlok is a Bloodbender!

He bloodbent Avatar Korra!

Don't make this worse for yourself. Tell us where you have Korra.

Wake up.

Man, l had this awful dream

that Korra was taken by this evil Bloodbender.

So weird.

Bolin, that really happened. He knocked us out.

Are you serious? Where is he? ls he here right now?

Tarrlok is long gone. l'll alert the whole force.

We've only been out for a little while.

Maybe we can still pick up Tarrlok's trail.

lt could lead us to Korra. Let's go.

Yakone, you won't get away with this!

Republic City is mine, Avatar.

l'll be back one day to claim it.

This time, l'm gonna put you to sleep for good!

l'm taking away your bending, for good.

lt's over.

Aang, this whole time,

you were trying to warn me about Tarrlok.

My life is a disaster now, thanks to you!

So your little bloodbending secret's out?

And l know how you bloodbent me without a full moon.

You're Yakone's son!

l was his son.

But in order to win Republic City, l had to become someone else.

My father failed

because he tried to rule the city from its rotten underbelly.

My plan was perfect.

l was to be the city's savior.

But you... You ruined everything!

Tarrlok, the jig is up and you have nowhere to go.

No. No, l'll escape and start a new life.

And you're coming as my hostage.

You'll never get away with this!

Amon!

lt is time for you to be equalized.

You fool. You've never faced bending like mine!

What... What are you?

l am the solution.

l'll take care of him. You four retrieve the Avatar.

Do not underestimate her.

Electrocute the box to knock her out before you open it.

My pleasure.

lt's payback time.

Open the box.

Tie her up.

l thought l told you not to underestimate her.

Naga, you came looking for me. Good girl.

That sounds like Naga!

Down there!

Korra!

Thank goodness!

Where's Tarrlok? How did you get away?

Give her some space.

l was so worried. Are you all right?

l'm fine.

l'm glad you're here.

You're safe now.
