The Legend of Korra 2x5

1. - Earth.

2. Fire.

3. Air.

4. Water.

5. Only the avatar can master all four elements

6. And bring balance to the world.

7. - It's brother versus brother in the war of the water tribes.

8. After korra discovered

9. That chief unalaq betrayed her and her father,

10. She turned against him, sparking civil war.

11. The southern rebels rallied around tonraq,

12. But they are vastly outnumbered.

13. So korra is headed to republic city to seek aid.

14. But will she be able to convince president raiko

15. To send troops to help the south?

16. - Welcome home, avatar. Thanks for starting a war.

17. - I didn't start a war.

18. Well, I did, but it's more complicated

19. Than you're making it seem.

20. - Mako, I want you back on the beat.

21. There's going to be a southern water tribe peace March tonight.

22. I need you there to make sure things don't get out of hand.

23. - I'm all yours.

24. - I'll go too.

25. The people of the south need to see

26. That the avatar is on their side

27. In the fight against the northern invaders.

28. - Great. That should calm them down.

29. - Maybe you should sit this out. - What?

30. - I just think having you there blatantly supporting one side

31. Will only make things worse.

32. You could at least try to seem neutral.

33. - I'm not neutral. The north invaded my home.

34. The only reason I'm here

35. Is to get the republic to send troops to help the south.

36. - Zhu li's already scheduled a meeting for us

37. With president raiko tomorrow.

38. We'll get him on board.

39. - Whatever. I gotta go to work.

40. - I better go check on my factory.

41. - I'm going to find out about this peace March.

42. - And I am dying for a pedicure!

43. - So, uh, what should I be doing?

44. - I don't know, bolin.

45. Figure something out.

46. - Say, kid, have you ever seen republic city at night?

47. - sure, I live here.

48. - Have you really seen it?

49. - Y—no?

50. that's what I thought.

51. Come on.

52. - Tonraq and the rebels are holed up here

53. In the hills outside of town.

54. - Leave them.

55. My brother's no threat to us up there.

56. Increase security around the spirit portal.

57. Keeping it safe is our number one priority.

58. - Yes, sir.

59. - I need you two to go after the avatar.

60. She's the only one who can open the northern spirit portal.

61. - But, father, you told korra—

62. - I told korra what I thought she needed to hear.

63. - I'll find her. She stole my husband.

64. - I need her alive.

65. fine.

66. - watch me, poki.

67. You lay down and roll over.

68. Roll over.

69. - No, no, you can't just demonstrate it.

70. That never works.

71. - Good.

72. - Ugh, classic over-rewarding.

73. - Poki, where are you going?

74. - Command respect.

75. Having some trouble, son?

76. - Poki isn't very good at learning.

77. - Believe me, I know the feeling.

78. Maybe I can help.

79. How would you like your old dad

80. To teach you how to be a master trainer?

81. - Yeah!

82. - Tensions are running high

83. Outside of the southern water tribe cultural center.

84. The avatar is leading a group of southerners

85. In a peaceful protest against chief unalaq,

86. But the northerners have come out in droves

87. In support of their leader.

88. - boo!

89. - Get out of here!

90. - Boo! - Get a real job!

91. - Get out of here! - You stink!

92. - Hey!

93. Stop!

94. Republic city police.

95. - The northern water tribe is out of control.

96. - I saw a firebender running away from the blast.

97. The north might not be responsible for this.

98. - Of course they're responsible.

99. Who else would it be?

100. - Wow.

101. Usually, when I see flashing lights like this,

102. It's because I got hit in the head with a rock.

103. - Being famous is like getting hit with a rock

104. All the time.

105. - Look! It's bolin!

106. Bolin! Bolin! Bolin!

107. Bolin! Bolin! Bolin! Bolin!

108. - Folks, that cheer you're hearing

109. Is for local favorite, bolin, of the fire ferrets.

110. Let's see if we can get a quick interview.

111. Bolin!

112. Bolin, the fire ferrets are out for the season.

113. How have you been spending your time lately?

114. - Well, I took a trip south for the glacier spirits festival,

115. Was briefly engaged to a princess,

116. Then went through kind of a tough breakup there,

117. Was accidentally involved in a civil war...

118. - But there's nowhere I'd rather be

119. Than pro bending night in republic city!

120. Am I right, people?

121. Republic city!

122. - Do you miss being in the ring?

123. - Well, I definitely don't miss

124. Getting hit with things all the time

125. And the humiliating losing.

126. I mean, that gets pretty old.

127. You know, sometimes I actually cry myself to sleep...

128. - I guess what I miss the most are these fans!

129. They're the greatest fans in the world!

130. Give it up for the fans!

131. - Look how these people love you, kid.

132. They're eating that cornball spiel right out of your hand.

133. - The trick is, whenever I get confused,

134. I just say "republic city" or "fans,"

135. And then everyone cheers.

136. - I think I just figured out your true calling.

137. - I hope president raiko listens to us.

138. - Don't worry.

139. I was a big contributor to his election campaign.

140. Him and the other guy. Gotta hedge your bets.

141. - Hello, mr. President.

142. Sir, the southern water tribe—

143. - Just a second.

144. Keep smiling.

145. - Eh...

146. - Now, how can I help the avatar and my most generous supporter?

147. - Unalaq's troops have invaded the south.

148. We need you to send the united forces to help.

149. - I'm very concerned by what's happening down there,

150. But I don't think it's the republic's place

151. To interfere with internal water tribe matters.

152. - Unalaq isn't even the rightful ruler of the water tribe.

153. He lied his way onto the northern throne.

154. - Mr. President,

155. The republic is already involved in this conflict.

156. The north attacked our cultural center last night.

157. - Believe me, we are doing everything we can

158. To bring the people responsible to justice.

159. - "the people responsible"?

160. Who else would it be but the northerners?

161. - Now, I know that when you're young,

162. It's hard to keep perspective—

163. - You're the one who's lost perspective.

164. I'm trying to save my tribe, and you're taking pictures.

165. - Sending troops is not something I can do at this time,

166. But I promise I will work with unalaq and the south

167. For a diplomatic solution.

168. Now, I'm sorry, but my mind is made up.

169. This meeting is over.

170. - My family is going to be wiped out,

171. And it'll be on your head for doing nothing about it.

172. - I can't believe the president is doing nothing.

173. He—he doesn't even care.

174. - I'm sure he cares, but he can't just tell his people

175. To go fight a battle at the south pole

176. That has nothing to do with them.

177. - How could you take his side?

178. - What's with you and sides?

179. Why do you always think I'm working against you?

180. - Well, you're not helping me.

181. I'm trying to get troops to the south.

182. What are you doing?

183. - I'm doing my job.

184. well, excuse me, officer.

185. Don't let me stand in the way of you writing tickets.

186. I'm just trying to save the world.

187. - Well, you wouldn't have to if you didn't keep messing it up.

188. - I can't talk to you when you're like this.

189. You're the one who's like this!

190. Hey, in a hurry?

191. - Sorry, I have to talk to varrick.

192. - Yeah, me too.

193. - Oh, hello.

194. See? I told you I could do it.

195. - Sorry I ever doubted you.

196. - We can't wait for the president to act.

197. We need those troops now.

198. - And my company is about to go under.

199. I have to find a way to make some sales.

200. - Right. Okay. Got it.

201. Idea storm.

202. Get the supplies.

203. You're about to get an inside look

204. At how varrick global industries

205. Stays at the forefront of imagination innovation

206. Or "imagivation"!

207. That's trademarked, pal.

208. Brain work requires increased circulation.

209. Let's do this!

210. Okay, here come the ideas, fast and furious.

211. Pink mint lemon tea.

212. Radio for pets.

213. Uh, hand shoes.

214. Hold on a tic.

215. We don't need the president to go to the south.

216. We just need the troops. Let's go straight to them.

217. If there's one thing I know about troops,

218. It's that they love fighting.

219. - I know general iroh. He might be willing to help us.

220. - A man on the inside. Perfect.

221. And you need to sell some mecha-tanks.

222. I know some people who need them.

223. We'll ship 'em south.

224. - That's perfect.

225. You'll be making money for your company,

226. And you'll be helping to defeat unalaq.

227. - It's true.

228. If you can't make money during a war,

229. You just flat-out cannot make money.

230. - It's dangerous on the seas right now,

231. But I'm willing to try if you are.

232. - It'll be crazy risky,

233. But I love crazy risky!

234. End storm!

235. Zhu li, get those other ideas to research and development.

236. I want prototypes by next week.

237. - I don't understand why it's so hard

238. To get republic city to support the south.

239. - Don't worry. I'm already working on that.

240. As soon as people see this,

241. They'll be lining up to fight unalaq.

242. Zhu li, do the, uh— the thing.

243. - Don't freak out. It's not real.

244. - I had a film crew documenting the entire northern invasion.

245. Sorry. I keep doing that.

246. - We're gonna cut this footage together

247. With scenes we shoot of our superstar bolin here

248. Playing a southern water tribe hero

249. Battling the evil unalaq.

250. No one will root for the north after they see

251. The adventures of nuktuk: Hero of the south!

252. - I'm nuktuk!

253. What do you think?

254. Oh, man, you should have seen varrick today.

255. That guy is a genius. - Uh-huh.

256. - He's gonna help asami sell her mecha-tanks to the south,

257. And he came up with this great idea for korra

258. To get general iroh to fight unalaq

259. Without president raiko ever even knowing.

260. - What? That's a terrible idea.

261. - And he's gonna put me in the movers

262. As this hero, nuktuk.

263. He's a man of action, but he's got a heart of gold.

264. He was born in the tundra.

265. - Look, I'm trying to do something

266. That's actually important here.

267. - Oh. Oh, sorry.

268. Uh, sure. What is it?

269. - Something doesn't make sense about this bombing.

270. I just don't buy that the northern water tribe

271. Was behind it.

272. Wait a second! That's him!

273. That's the guy that attacked the center.

274. I gotta go show this to beifong.

275. - Glad I could help.

276. Nuktuk saves the day again!

277. - All right, meelo.

278. The first thing you need to do as a trainer

279. Is establish dominance.

280. You are in charge. Never forget that.

281. Now call poki.

282. - Poki, come here.

283. Poki.

284. Poki, no. - Meelo.

285. You're rewarding him for bad behavior.

286. - But he's tickling me.

287. - You can't let him nap in the bed with you.

288. You are the alpha lemur.

289. He has to sleep on the floor.

290. I know it's hard, but it's for the best.

291. - No, poki. This is my bed.

292. You sleep on the floor.

293. Being alpha lemur is lonely.

294. - I know.

295. - How did this cultural center attack happen

296. Right under your nose?

297. And why haven't you arrested the northerners responsible?

298. - We're working on it, sir. - Well, work harder.

299. If you don't get any results soon,

300. I'm going to find someone who can.

301. - I got a break in the bombing case.

302. I I.D.'d the guy I saw at the scene.

303. - That's great, mako.

304. - Yeah, you better run that in to beifong right now.

305. - You think?

306. - Sure. You're gonna be a hero.

307. - What makes a rookie beat cop

308. Think he can interrupt my meeting with the president?

309. - I'm sorry.

310. I just—um, I found something out about the bombing.

311. - Well, give it to lu and gang, you moron.

312. Now get out!

313. - Sorry. Was she busy?

314. - This is the guy I saw

315. Sneaking out of the building right before the explosions.

316. He's a member of the agni kais.

317. Someone must have hired him to make it look

318. Like northerners attacked the cultural center.

319. - Hmm.

320. - Did you learn anything about that remote control

321. I found at the scene?

322. That's gotta be the key

323. To finding out who's really responsible.

324. - Listen, kid, it was the northern water tribe, okay?

325. - Yeah, give it a rest, super cop.

326. - I've heard good things about you.

327. You've made some big triad busts for a rookie.

328. - Thank you, sir.

329. - And you're dating the avatar, right?

330. - Yes, sir.

331. - I'm concerned that she might be getting

332. Some bad advice from varrick.

333. You wouldn't happen to know if they're plotting anything

334. That might compromise the security of republic city,

335. Would you, officer?

336. Let me remind you that you've sworn an oath.

337. You're a man of the law before anything else.

338. - Yes, sir.

339. - Well, keep up the good work.

340. Wait.

341. There's something you should know.

342. - Thank you for seeing me, general iroh.

343. - What can I do?

344. - The south needs military support

345. Before unalaq wipes them out completely,

346. But the president is refusing to give the order.

347. So I decided to come to you directly.

348. - I see.

349. Well, suppose I were to take the fleet south

350. On some routine training maneuvers.

351. And let's say we were to accidentally run

352. Into a hostile northern blockade.

353. We'd have no choice but to defend ourselves, wouldn't we?

354. - I guess you wouldn't. Thank you.

355. - Swapping old war stories?

356. - Mr. President.

357. - I hope you're not planning to take any military action

358. Without an order from your commander in chief.

359. - Of course not, sir.

360. - Good, because if a single vessel

361. Leaves this harbor without my say-so,

362. You'll be court-martialed.

363. Am I clear?

364. - Crystal, sir.

365. - Your activities here are bordering on insurrection.

366. The avatar does not command the military of the republic.

367. Don't go behind my back again.

368. As you were, general iroh.

369. - I hate that guy!

370. - I'm sorry. My hands are officially tied.

371. - I understand.

372. Thanks anyway.

373. - But you should talk to the fire lord.

374. My mother and grandfather have always been good friends

375. To the avatar and the southern water tribe.

376. I'm sure they'll be willing to help.

377. - Thank you, general.

378. - Wouldn't I be cold wearing this outfit in the snow?

379. - Ah, nuktuk is never cold.

380. - Ooh.

381. Hey, ginger.

382. - How about that, huh?

383. It's the latest product in my varri-manageable hair line:

384. Varri-dye!

385. We get some shots of her using it

386. Before unalaq kidnaps her,

387. I guarantee we sell a million cases week one.

388. - Bolin, I need you to watch naga while I'm gone.

389. - Where you going? - The fire nation.

390. I'm going to try to get them to help the south.

391. I need a boat.

392. - What happened with general iroh?

393. - He was going to help, but then president raiko showed up.

394. Someone must have tipped him off,

395. But I can't figure it out.

396. No one knew about it except for us and asami.

397. - And mako. - Mako?

398. - What?

399. There's no way mako would have told.

400. Right?

401. - Poki, sit.

402. roll over.

403. good boy.

404. - Well done, meelo.

405. I knew you could learn to train poki.

406. - Not just poki.

407. I trained all the lemurs.

408. Watch.

409. - I've created a monster.

410. Uh, maybe we should forget

411. About all this training discipline for now.

412. Why don't you and poki just have fun and play?

413. - Thanks, dad.

414. Training makes me tired.

415. Come on, poki.

416. - You ratted me out to the president?

417. - Korra, let me explain.

418. - Explain why my boyfriend stabbed me in the back?

419. - Look, the president of the republic

420. Asked me a direct question.

421. What was I supposed to do?

422. - You betrayed me and my family!

423. - Enough! Look, I have a job to do.

424. I can't constantly be worrying about keeping you

425. From making another huge mistake.

426. - Well, I have a job to do too,

427. Only it seems like you're always standing in the way

428. Of me getting it done!

429. - Well, I guess if we're both putting our jobs first,

430. Maybe there's no room for our relationship!

431. - So what?

432. Are you breaking up with me?

433. - Yeah. I guess I am.

434. - What the flamey-o happened here?

435. - I broke up with the avatar.

436. - You got off easy.

437. You should have seen air temple island

438. After tenzin broke up with me.

439. - You ruined my wedding!

440. No one steals my bolin!
