Thank you for coming, everyone. I know these last few days have been very troubling.
Troubling? Troubling is when I get that itchy rash that won't go away, and Zhu Li's not around to scratch it. This is shocking. Nay, sickening! But these kale cookies? Opposite. Remind me to get the recipe later.
What's your point, Varrick?
My point is, Unalaq's already booted our chieftains out of their palace. How long before he starts telling us what kind of cookies we can eat?
Zhu LiProbably a couple of days.
Rhetorical question, Zhu Li. You gotta keep up. Not to mention I've got a cargo ship full of Halibut that's rotting, thanks to this harbor lockdown. Who wants to buy a ship full of stinking fish? Seriously, it's not rhetorical. I need to sell these fish.
Chief Unalaq is here to help the South. He wants to show us how to restore balance with the spirits so they'll stop attacking.
The only spirit I'm interested in restoring is our spirit of independence! Am I right, people?
[The Southerners shout in agreement]
All Unalaq is trying to do is make our tribes unified again.
No, he wants control of our wealth. My wealth. And I like my wealth. If Unalaq doesn't pull his forces out, then we have no choice but to fight for our freedom!
[The Southerners shout in agreement]
´You want to start a war? Are you crazy?
Unalaq started this, not us. [sighs] I'm sorry. Maybe you could speak with your Uncle. Tell him how frustrated we all are. He'll listen to what the Avatar has to say. Do it for me.
I'll do it for the tribe.
Where's Varrick? We should've closed our deal an hour ago.
Would you relax? This place is great. And the best part about it? Eska doesn't know I'm here.
[Eska and Desna enter, along with a few Water Tribe soldiers]
Eeyah. I wasn't hiding. Hey, hey-hey, hey.
I'm not on the hunt for you. Currently.
We search for Varrick. Our father wishes him to stand trial.
He is a traitor to the Water Tribe, along with our aunt and uncle.
Korra's parents were arrested?
Yes. Your powers of deduction are impressive.
WTWater Tribe soldier
Varrick's not here.
Very well. Desna, let us continue our search elsewhere. [to Bolin] Boyfriend! Bow to me when I exit.
Yes, yes, my sweet koala-otter.
You are so cute when you grovel.
Don't let her treat you that way! Stand up for yourself.
I tried to break up with her, but Mako gave me terrible advice! Thank you Mako!
Wait, how are your girl problems my fault?
Bolin, you need to be honest with her. Tell her how you really feel.
(unseen, muffled) Honesty is for fools, kid!
If you wanna ditch this girl, then make yourself scarce. Disappear, like I did!
Somewhere Unalaq will never find me. (his face pops out of the stuffed platypus-bear's mouth) Inside Ping-Ping! How we doin'?
The coast is clear. You can come out.
No way, mister. Not until I know it's absolutely 157 percent safe. (Zhu Li's hand appears and hands him a cup of tea) Ahh, thank you Zhu Li.
Your assistant's in there too?
Zhu Li never leaves my side. (drinks the tea, then spits it out) Blecch, blech! You forgot the honey!
Zhu Li
(muffled) Sorry, sir. There isn't any in here.
No honey?! We're in a bear, for crying out loud!
Guys, hey!! Whattaya think? Varrick Industries built this prison, and I had this cell made special. I had a feeling I'd end up here, one day. (grins) Zhu Li, come on! We got guests! Whip up a pot of that green tea I love!
Zhu Li
Yes, sir.
Zhu Li's in prison with you?
Of course! I don't go anywhere without my assistant. Do you?
(angrily) We're not interested in your tea, and this isn't a friendly visit.
Don't tell me you guys are still mad about everything that happened?! I did some good things, too! Korra, who warned you about Unalaq? I did. (Korra looks guilty) Bolin, who got you into the movers? I did. (Bolin looks guilty) Asami, who saved your company? I did. (Asami looks guilty) Mako, who got you thrown in jail? I did! (Mako looks angry) Oh, yeah, I guess that was a bad thing.
You stole everything from me, and you tried to kidnap the President! Those are pretty bad, too.
I wasn't going to hurt him, I just needed to start a war! Well, a bigger war.
Well, we're gonna end it! Where's all the stuff you stole from Asami?
The Future Industries stuff? It's on my battleship.
Of course I do! I bought the first one they made! Named her the Zhu Li.
You named your battleship after your assistant?
Yep! They're both cold, heartless war machines.
Zhu Li
Your tea, sir.
