Scenes with Bolin 23

Were you able to stop Unalaq and Vaatu?

No. They fused, then Vaatu ripped Raava right out of me and destroyed her. Vaatu won.

Bolin

[scared] No. I am too young to live through ten thousand years of darkness! Korra, can't you talk to one of your past lives or something?!

When Vaatu destroyed Raava, he destroyed my connection to the past Avatars too.

If that's true, then -

The cycle is over. I'm the last Avatar. [Tears up] I'm so sorry, Tenzin. [She starts crying]

[To Tenzin] She needs you now, more than ever.

[After Kuon refuses to become an Air Nomad]

In my head I saw that playing out very differently.

Maybe we should have stayed and tried harder to convince him to join us.

Bolin

Or we could've thrown him into a potato sack and forced him into the ship.

That's how they got me to join the United Forces.

No, we can't coerce people. [pause] Or throw them in potato sacks. They must come freely. But not to worry, there are plenty of other airbenders out there who will be happy to come with us once they find out what the Air Nation's all about.

[cut to a montage of Tenzin trying to convince various people]

[to a mother] When your son becomes a master, he'll get tattoos all over his body, just like me.

[to a fat man eating meat] There's nothing more nutritious than our vegetarian diet.

[to a fashionable lady] I can tell that you're going to love wearing our ancient airbender robes. They're very breathable.

[in a speed montage] You'll never have to worry about your worldly possessions again because you won't have any. [door slams shut] You'll get to shave your head! [door slams shut] Your best friend will be a giant bison!

[back in the airship] I really thought I had that last guy. Who doesn't want a bison as their best friend?

Bolin

Whew, I'm getting hungry. [gasps] We might have to hustle up a little breakfast with the old fruit stand scam. Come on. You remember how it goes. I push you into the stand, you scream, I pretend to faint.

I don't want any part of this. Besides, look at this fruit. It's disgusting. We don't want to steal this.

TTu

Hey, you trying to steal my fruit?

No, I just said I don't want any of this rotten fruit.

TTu

Oh, you too good for my fruit? This is the best fruit on the block.

So you want me to steal it?

TTu

Just try it, buddy. [Flexes his arm muscle, kisses it] Go ahead.

Bolin

I'm confused. Are we stealing the fruit or not?

TTu

I knew it, thieves! [tackles Mako and Bolin]

Mako! Bolin! You're okay. Where have you been?

Bolin

We chased Kai... Train... Slipped away... Lower ring... Slept in trash pile... Met our family... Grandma, tears... Mako's scarf... Earth queen lying.

Can you interpret that?

The Earth Queen's been secretly taking airbenders and forcing them into her army.

She was lying. I knew it I swear, the next time I see her...

Sorry we're late, everyone.

Bolin

[gasps] Varrick!

What are you doing here?

Great question, Asami. I mean, what are any of us doing here? Wow. Food for thought. Anyhoo, how's our company doing?

You mean my company? Future Industries reverted back to me after you plotted to abduct the president.

Allegedly plotted to abduct the president. Never convicted.

Uh, that's because you escaped prison.

No, the universe decided to set me free. So I looked up my old friend Suyin here, pitched her a few ideas, and bam! We're in business together.

Varrick's heading up my new technology division.

I've seen the future, and the future is magnets! I'm working on a high-speed rail that'll revolutionize transportation and shipping as we know it. But that's not all! I'm...

All right, enough! I'm trying to keep the Avatar safe, and you're harboring a criminal?

Ease up, Lin. Sure, Varrick's made a few mistakes in his past, but that doesn't mean he should pay for it the rest of his life. My chef was a pirate, but now he's a culinary master. People change.

You haven't. [storms out]

Um, so what happened to you two? Where have you been?

We were captured by Zaheer and taken to Ba Sing Se. We were there when the Earth Queen was overthrown.

What? How did you escape?

Zaheer let us go.

What? Why would he do that?

Bolin

Because he wanted us to find you and deliver a message.

Zaheer's on his way to the Northern Air Temple, as we speak. He says he's gonna wipe out the new Air Nation, and everything in it... unless you turn yourself over to him.

(angrily) Zaheer's threatening innocent lives just to get to me!

He could be bluffing.

(darkly) He's already taken out the Earth Queen. I don't think he bluffs.

(yelling furiously) No! No! You don't understand! The revolution has already begun. Chaos is the natural order of- (Bolin gags him with a sock)

Bolin

(To Opal) See what I did there? I put a sock in it, literally.

OOpal

Classic Bolin.

So, the trouble begins when the Avatar is trapped in the Spirit World. The world's most evil villains realize that with Korra out of the way, the time is right to try to take out Bolin. So, the worst of the worst team up. They're led by ... Zaheer, leader of the Red Lotus and master of the skies, a flying chaotic chaos machine! He's joined by ... Vaatu, the ultimate force of pure spirit evil in the universe. The biggest, meanest, scariest kite that ever flew!

Bolin

Wait! Zaheer didn't team up with Vaatu. How would that even happen?

How do you think?

Hello?

Hey. It's Zaheer.

Oh. Hey, Zaheer.

Glad I caught you at home. [chuckles]

Uh-huh. Very funny. Like I can leave this stupid tree.

Hold on, let me conference in—

Amon! The reanimated zombie body of the bloodbending leader of the Equalists!

Hey, guys, I'm totally in for taking out Bolin. He's way too powerful and awesome. But can we please not include—

Not include who, Amon?

The evil Unalaq. The diabolical but incredibly boring and unpopular sorcerer from the north, who's listening in on the other line!

I've spent my life trying to defeat Nuktuk, I mean, Bolin, and I know just where to find him.

Bolin

So here's something I've always been curious about. Who's Lin's dad?

[Lin shoots Bolin an extremely dirty look]

He was a guy named Kanto. Nice man but it didn't really work out between us.

Bolin

And...Okay.

Lin, I can feel your enraged breathing from here. Just say what you have to say, and let's get it over with.

Just get it over with? Yeah, let's not linger on the fact that I grew up without a Dad. No need to get all touchy-feely about it. Just one of those things, right?

Hey, I forgave you for all your garbage a long time ago, and Su and I worked things out. You're the only one who wants to hold on to this family drama nonsense for the rest of your life.

Forgave me for what? And not knowing my Dad is nonsense to you? It was pretty important to me. And until now, you would never even discuss it. You know, after Su and I patched things up, I thought "Maybe I should try to reach out to Mom." But now that we're together again, I remember why we stopped talking. You make me furious, and you don't even know why. And when I tell you, you don't care. Once we save Su, you and I are finished.

[sighs sadly] If that's your decision and it makes you happy, then fine.
