All language subtitles for Avatar (The Legend of Korra) - S02 E02 - The Southern Lights (720p BluRay)

Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can
master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

The Southern Water
Tribe is under siege.

When Avatar Korra was
attacked by a dark spirit,

Chief Unalaq was the only
one able to stop it.

So Korra turned her
back on Tenzin

and chose Unalaq as her
new spiritual mentor.

Tenzin and his family
left for a vacation

at the Southern Air Temple,

while Korra remained
in the Water Tribe.

Will she be able
to restore balance

between humans and spirits?

- You're early.

- What can I say?

I'm pumped up to learn that
Unalaq spirit fighting.

- I'm not here to teach
you to fight spirits.

I'm here to help you begin
your spiritual training.

We're going to one of the most
remote places in the world...

The long-neglected spiritual
center of your tribe:

The South Pole.

- You're gonna train
me at the South Pole?

- We will do more
than just train.

By neglecting the spirits,
the people of the South

have brought darkness
upon themselves,

and now it threatens
to destroy our tribe.

We must set things right.

The Southern Water
Tribe depends on you.

- A dangerous trip
to the South Pole?

Count me in.

- There it is, the
Southern Air Temple.

Isn't it magnificent?

- Master Tenzin, welcome.

- Good to see you
again, Abbot Shung.

- Is there anything you need?

Water? Dandelion greens?

Ah, perhaps you'd like
to re-center yourself

by meditating in the gardens.

- No, thank you.

I'm fine.

- And you must be
the honorable Pema.

Please, accept these gifts.

This is an ancient
Airbender head shaver

we've refurbished just for you.

- Oh... okay.

- And Pema, these flowers
once filled the mountainside.

Now they can brighten
up your room.

- That's... sweet?

You didn't have to.

- Nonsense.

Whatever you need is yours.

Anything for the mother

of the next generation
of Airbenders.

- No! That gift is mine.

- You don't even like to read.

- Naah.

- Yep, those are the world's
next generation of Airbenders.

- Mommy, Daddy, look.

I finally got a lemur.

I'm gonna name him Poki.

Poki, come back!

- Ugh.

Phew.

Excuse me, a little help here.

- Sorry, I thought you
were the servants.

- We're Tenzin's
brother and sister.

- Avatar Aang had
other children?

The world is filled
with more Airbenders?

- We're not Airbenders.

- Oh. I'm so sorry.

- I thought you said
Bolin was coming.

- He said he'd be here, but
I can't worry about it.

I have to make sure you
have everything you need

for a safe trip.

- Thanks, Captain Expedition,
but I'll be fine.

- Tonraq, what do you want?

- I heard you're taking
Korra to the South Pole.

I'm coming.

- Absolutely not.

You're a distraction to Korra

and a hindrance to
what needs to be done.

- My daughter is not
going without me.

She needs someone
to watch after her.

- Dad, why do you always think
you know what's best for me?

- Because he's misguided.

The sad truth is it's
men like your father

who have put the spirit
world out of balance.

He's ignored my
warnings in the past

and hasn't learned since.

- What happened in the past?

- It doesn't matter.

What matters is the Everstorm.

- The Everstorm?

- It's a massive blizzard

that's battered the
South Pole for decades.

I'm coming, unless you
think you can stop me.

- Guys! Hey, wait for me!

Check it out.

I'm traveling in style.

Whoa! Okay, I'm sorry.

Still getting used
to that throttle.

- Uh, where'd you get the ride?

- Varrick. He's awesome.

He also gave me this
fancy snowsuit.

It's inflatable with
an internal heater,

emergency beacon, and
food ration pouch.

I mean, if I get lost, I
can survive in this thing

for, like, like, a month.

Who wants some freeze-dried
cucumber-quats?

Nobody?

Did I interrupt a conversation?

- No, the conversation is over.

Dad, come if you want.

Just don't interfere
with my training.

- Does this sidecar have the
capacity for two passengers?

- Sure does.

But, uh, who's gonna drive?

- Well, what do you know?

Looks like... - Go away, Mako.

- So once we get to the South
Pole, then what happens?

- You will open an
ancient spirit portal.

- I'm sorry. What now?

- At the South Pole,
there is a portal

that connects our world
to the spirit world.

But it has long been closed.

- And that's why the evil
spirits are attacking?

- There are no evil spirits.

There is light and
dark in them all.

But when they're unbalanced,
the darkness takes over.

If you can open the
portal in time,

balance will be restored.

- What do you mean "in time"?

- There's a reason the
Glacier Spirits Festival

ends on the winter solstice.

That's when the spirit world

and the physical world
are close together.

Only then can the
Avatar open the portal.

- The winter solstice
is tomorrow.

- Exactly.

And we can't afford
to wait another year.

- Easy, Naga.

- What are those?

- Dark spirits.

- Let's keep moving.

We have to find a safe
place to set up camp.

- Uncle, why do you
think the dark spirits

are following us?

- Can we not talk about
dark spirits, please?

- My brother doesn't
like ghost stories.

- Don't worry.

I will protect you, my
feeble turtle-duck.

- Thank you.

- Sadly, this isn't
a ghost story.

This is real.

- The spirits are angry
because he's here.

Haven't you ever
wondered how your father

ended up in the South Pole?

Why he's never taken you to visit
his homeland in the north?

- Unalaq, this is not the time.

- You're right.

You should have told
her a long time ago.

- Told me what?

- I left the North
Pole because...

I was banished.

- You were banished from the North?
Why?

- Because I almost destroyed
the entire tribe.

20 years ago, I was a general
in the Northern Water Tribe,

sworn to protect my people.

- Brother, we're being attacked.

Tonraq: I drove them out of the city
and deep into the frozen tundra.

We tracked them deep
into an ancient forest.

Many believed this forest
was the home to spirits,

and the barbarians
retreated there

because they thought
we wouldn't attack

on such hallowed grounds.

They thought wrong.

- We captured the barbarians,

but in the process, we
destroyed the forest.

I didn't realize
the consequences

of what I had done.

By destroying the forest,

I unknowingly let
loose angry spirits.

They threatened to
destroy everything.

The entire city.

Unalaq was able to guide the
spirits back to the forest,

but by then, the
damage had been done.

For being the cause of
so much devastation,

my father banished me from
the Northern Water Tribe

in shame.

That's when I came to the
South and started a new life.

- Whoa.

So you were supposed
to be chief,

then he became chief.

No wonder you guys
don't like each other.

Ow! What?

Isn't that what happened?

- I can't believe you
kept this from me.

- I was protecting
you from the shame

I brought on the family.

- Why do you keep
hiding things from me

and then telling me it's
for my own protection?

I'm tired of you protecting me.

- Korra.

Jinora: Wow.

The statue room.

- That's right, Jinora.

The most sacred place in the
entire Southern Air Temple.

Here you will find statues of
every Avatar who ever lived.

Where are your
brother and sister?

- You can't catch me.

I'm the greatest air
skater of all time.

Qof!

- Meelo!

- Korra, you have every
right to be mad at me,

but I don't want you to make
the same mistake I made.

I should have never
gone into that forest,

and we shouldn't be going
to the South Pole now.

Spirits and the physical world
should remain separate.

- Dad, it's my job
to be the bridge

between the spirits and
the physical world,

and I finally have a chance
to live up to my potential.

- You don't even know if
what Unalaq says is true.

- You want proof?

Look to the sky.

Where I'm from, the
spirits are at peace

and they light up the dark.

- The Northern lights.

- Yes.

There used to be lights
in the South as well.

But during the 100 Year War,

the South was thrown
out of balance

and the lights disappeared.

When the war ended,
the North helped

to rebuild you
physically as a nation.

But we have not rebuilt
you spiritually.

Now the spirits no longer
dance in your skies.

Instead, they rampage
in the Everstorm.

- I think we're here.

- Is that what I think it is?

- We must keep moving.

- Oh, man.

I really don't like this.

- Bolin, just stay calm.

There's no reason to...

Panic!

- Aah!

- Korra, look out!

- Oh, it's in the engine!

- Is everyone okay?

I can't stop it.

- I'll save you.

I'm a raft!

Uh, can someone
please deflate me?

Thank you.

- Oh, great.

There goes our equipment.

Now what are we supposed to do?

- There's only one thing to do.

We have to turn back. - No.

The solstice is tonight.

We're so close.

- This mission is too dangerous.

We're leaving. - No, Dad.

You're leaving.

- Don't worry, sir.

I'll keep an eye
on Korra for you.

- Thank you, Mako.

- Let's open this portal
and lead your father

and the entire
Southern Water Tribe

in the right direction.

We don't have much time.

- Then what are we waiting for?

So, what exactly were you
and my dad talking about?

- Nothing.

He was just worried
about you, that's all.

- You know, sometimes I
wonder whose side you're on.

- There aren't any sides.

We all just want to
help however we can.

You have to trust that
we're here for you.

- We've arrived.

- Trees frozen in ice.

- It's just like
the sacred forest

Tonraq destroyed in the north.

- So what do I do?

- You must find your way
to the heart of the forest

where the dormant
spirit portal lies.

From here, you're on your own.

- Wait a second.

There's no way
she's going alone.

- Yeah, if she goes, we go too.

- The Avatar must go alone.

- But I don't have any
connection with the spirits.

In fact, it seems
like they hate me.

- You have to believe in
yourself like I believe in you.

What is it?

- I guess I'm just
so used to people

telling me how to do things
that I forgot what it was like

to have someone trust in me.

- Korra, all the past Avatars
live on inside of you.

Let them guide you.

Let them help you find
the light in the dark.

- Wait here.

I'll be okay.

- Good luck.

The spirit portal.

Amazing.

What Avatar is this?

- The light in the dark.

Why isn't it opening?

Come on, portal. Open!

The spirits dancing in the sky.

- I can't believe it.

- It's beautiful.

- She did it.

- Hey, Korra, you're back!

Hey, Korra's back.

Wha... huh?

- Why are you initiating
physical contact

with another woman?

- Everything you said was true.

- Avatar Korra, you have
taken the first step

in bringing balance
back to the South,

and soon, the whole world.

- You never cease to amaze me.
- Thanks.

By the way, I'm really sorry
for being a total pain.

Things were really
stressful and confusing.

It's hard being the Avatar.

- It's harder being the
Avatar's boyfriend.

What are all your Northern
troops doing here?

- Opening the spirit portal
was only the first step

in getting the
Southern Water Tribe

back on its righteous path.

There's more difficult
work to be done

before our two tribes
are truly united.
