[Korra confronts Zaheer in his prison; he is meditating in mid-air, his wrists and ankles shackled]
I figured you would show up, sooner or later. So... You must really be in trouble if you came all the way down here to see me.
I came here to look you in the eye and tell you that you have no power over me. I will no longer be scared of you.
[Zaheer suddenly flies straight at Korra, who is visibly startled, before he is restrained by his chains]
[laughs] I guess it didn't work. You still seem scared.
This was a mistake.
I know why you're here.
You don't know anything about me!
You can't go into the Spirit World. [Korra, surprised, turns and faces Zaheer] I spend most of my time in the Spirit World, and it's well-known that the Avatar's spirit hasn't been there for a few years.
You can meditate into the Spirit World from here? Doesn't feel very spiritually charged.
This is your problem. Republic City is flowing with spiritual energy, and you can't even tap into it.
No, my problem is you. You poisoned me! You ruined me! People used to think I was unstoppable, but now they don't think I'm capable of anything!
Blaming me is a crutch to make you feel better, but it's not helping you recover.
I thought seeing you face-to-face would put an end to all of this, but maybe it's time I realize I'll never be the same.
Neither of us are the same as before. I learned to fly, but now I'm bound in chains. You have all the power in the world and the freedom to use it, but you choose to hold yourself down.
I'm not holding myself down, but my powers have limits.
You're wrong. That poison should've killed you, but you were able to fight it off. You think your power has limits. I say... it's limitless.
Whatever. Before, you were always talking about chaos and freedom. Then you took out the Earth Queen and created the worst dictator the Earth Kingdom has ever seen. Thanks for that.
(frowns, grimly)...I've heard rumors about her, but I didn't know she achieved so much power. She needs to be stopped.
Well, I can't stop her unless I get over this block.
I think I can help. Let me lead you into the spirit world.
No way. I can't trust you.
Maybe not. But if you had any other options, you wouldn't be here now, would you? We may have been enemies once, but for now, our interests align.
...I've come this far. What have I got to lose?
Focus on the sound of my voice and clear your mind.
Let it play out.
I can't!
You can. Accept what happened to you. Don't fear what might have been.
I have no control!
Don't be afraid. Hold on.
I made it... and you led me here. Do you know where Jinora and the others are?
No. But you do.
