So you think Mr. Sato manufactured those gloves for the Equalists, then framed Cabbage Corp?
That's a bold accusation. But what proof do you have?
Well, I don't exactly have proof, but I know what I heard. Sato's up to something.
He does have the means. And he has a motive.
Twelve years ago, the Agni Kai Triad robbed Sato's mansion. A Firebender killed Sato's wife during the break-in.
It was tragic. It is possible he's been harboring anti-bending sentiment all this time.
Maybe we should look at Mr. Sato a little more closely.
I'm afraid you won't be able to bend that wall, Chief Beifong. It's solid platinum. My mecha-tanks are platinum as well; not even your renowned mother could bend a metal so pure.
Hiroshi, I knew you were a lying, no-good Equalist! Come out here and--
And do what, young Avatar, face the wrath of your bending? No, I think I'll fight from inside here where my odds are a little more... equal.
That source was a set-up! You lured us down here!
(sarcastically) Guilty as charged.
Sponsoring our team, supporting the Avatar, it was all just a big cover.
Yes, and the most difficult part was watching my daughter traipse around with a firebending street rat like you! [He and the Lieutenant approach them]
Dad, stop! [Hiroshi turns to see her; sadly] Why?
[Ashamed] Sweetie, I wanted to keep you out of this for as long as I could, but now that you know the truth, please forgive me. These people, these benders, they took away your mother, the love of my life. They’ve ruined the world. But with Amon we can fix it and build a perfect world together. We can help people like us, everywhere. [Takes off one of his gloves and offers it to her] Join me, Asami. [Asami hesitates then grabs the glove and puts it on]
I love you, Dad. [She electrocutes her father, knocking him out, and then easily defeats the Lieutenant]
My Metalbenders are on their way to Amon and it's all my fault. Tarrlok's right. I've failed as chief. First thing in the morning, I'm handing in my resignation.
No! You can't give up like this.
I'm not giving up. I'm gonna find my officers and take Amon down. But I'm gonna do it my way: Outside the law.
[To Korra] I'm sorry I didn't believe you. But Asami's dad being an Equalist is not an easy thing to believe. Even now.
I know. I'm sorry this whole thing happened.
So, does your offer to stay on Air Temple Island still stand?
Of course it does. And Asami's welcome too.
After everything she's been through, she's gonna need you, Mako. [Mako walks up to a saddened Asami and embraces her]
And now for the grand tour! The Flying Bison sleeps in those caves down there. And that's the temple grandpa Aang built. And that's the green house that we grow the vegetables we eat.
I have a couple of questions. Is this an all vegetarian island? Is that where you train Airbending? Do we have to wear Air Acolyte clothes? Do we each get our own Sky Bison, and final question, how many trees are on this island?
Yes, yes, no, no, ten-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two.
Tarrlok, I don't know what you did to get Chief Saikhan in your pocket, but I highly doubt it was legal.
Oh, Tenzin, always the conspiracy theorist. Did you ever consider Saikhan simply recognizes my talents and wants what is best for this city? [Tenzin scoffs] Well, Avatar Korra. Long time no see. Now that your little Pro-Bending distractions are over, I look forward to your return to my taskforce.
Forget it. There’s no way I’m rejoining your vanity project.
That is unfortunate to hear, but I’m sure you’ll come to your senses, as you have in the past.
Don't hold your breath, bub. You know, Tenzin's been right about you all along. You played me, you played Beifong, and now you're playing the new Chief, too. Well, I got news for you. You need me, but I don't need you. I'm the Avatar.
You're not, in fact, the Avatar. You're merely a half-baked Avatar in training. Which reminds me, how is your airbending going? Made any significant progress? [Korra doesn't answer, but looks at Tarrlok with a mix of anger and sadness on her face.] I didn't think so. [Tarrlok begins to walk away] If you will not be part of my task force, then you had best stay out of my way!
[Tarrlok is in his office with the council page, looking at papers. A window opens and the papers get blown over the office, Korra is standing in the window]
You and I need to talk! [Steps into the office]
[To the council page] Are any of the other council members here?
CPCouncil Page
I believe everyone has gone home for the night.
Then you should do the same.
CPCouncil Page
Are you sure, sir?
Leave us. [council page leaves] You obviously have something on your mind? Spit it out.
Don't you see? You're doing exactly what Amon says is wrong with benders; you are using your powers to oppress and intimidate people.
Isn't that what you came here to do; intimidate me into releasing your friends? [Korra glares at him]] See, that's what I admire about you, Korra: Your willingness to go to extremes in order to get what you want. It is a quality we both share.
You and I are nothing alike!
Look, I'll make you a deal: you fall in line and do what I say, and I'll release your friends.
That's why you arrested them? To get to me?
No. You may be able to manipulate Chief Saikhan into following you, but it won't work on me.
[turns away angrily towards the direction of his waterfall] You will regret that decision.
You need to be stopped! You're just as bad as Amon.
[Widens eyes with anger] I've tried to work with you Korra, but you've made that impossible. [Uses his Waterbending to attack Korra]
TBToph Beifong
What are you doing here, Aang? I told you, I have this under control.
Under normal circumstances I wouldn't get involved, but if what those victims said is true, we’re not dealing with a normal criminal.
TBToph Beifong
Fine, follow me, Twinkletoes.
Toph, I'm 40 years old. You think you can stop with the nicknames?
TBToph Beifong
'Fraid not.
[To an Equalist he's holding] I'll ask you one more time! [Lifts him in the air with one hand and prepares a fire blast with the other] Where is she?!
EEqualist
We don’t have the Avatar. And the Equalists didn't attack City Hall. Tarrlok's lying.
I scanned the entire prison. Korra's not here.
Why would Tarrlok make up a story about getting attacked?
Because he has Korra. He fooled us all.
Thank you all for being here under short notice.
(Looks at Chief Saikan) [flatly] Chief.
SSaikhan
(Looks at Lin) [flatly] Lin.
(Tarrlok comes in) Have you news of Avatar Korra?
We do. [points his finger at him] You kidnapped her, Tarrlok!
I am shocked you would accused me of such evil act. I already explained, Chi blockers attacked us and took her!
But there were no Chi blockers here last night! You planted the evidence, didn't you?
That is a ridiculous accusation.
CPCouncil Page
It's true! He took her! I was here when Avatar Korra arrived last night but... Councilmen Tarrlok ordered me to leave. I was on my way out when I saw her bring her down to the garage. [Shows the end of "When Extremes Meet, from the Page's point of view.]
Say goodbye to Republic city, Avatar Korra. You'll never see it again! [Korra furiously breathes fire on Tarrlok when he shuts the door while Page looks on and it flashes back to the present day, furiously] That is nonsense! Everyone knows you're nothin' but a squeaky voice liar, or I will KILL MYSELF!!!
NEVER, TARRLOK! YOU'RE FIRED!
Why did you wait until now to fess up?
CPCouncil Page
I was terrified to tell because... Because Tarrlok is a Bloodbender! He bloodbent Avatar Korra!
[Everyone gasps as Tenzin angrily looks at Tarrlok] Don't make this worse on yourself. Tell us where you have Korra.
(To Tenzin) Wake up! (Slaps him in the face which wakes him up)
Man, I had this awful dream that Korra was taken by this evil bloodbender. So weird.
Bolin, that really happened. He knocked us out.
Are you serious? where is he? is he here right now?
SSaikhan
Tarrlok is gone. I'll alert the whole force
We've been only been out for a while. But we can still pick up Tarrlok's trail
It could lead us to Korra! Let's go. (They left)
