- Asami Sato: Hey, is Mako alright? He seems really worried about Korra.
- Bolin: Yeah, we all are.
- Asami Sato: I know, but... he's your brother. Do you think that he likes Korra as more than just a friend?
- Bolin: What? No! That's- that's just gossip, where'd you hear that? Crazy talk is coming outta your mouth right now...
- Asami Sato: What do you know Bolin? Come on, spill it.
- Bolin: Nothing! I mean, there was this one time, during the tournament when Mako and Korra kissed but...
- Asami Sato: They kissed?
- Bolin: Believe me, I was upset too, but I'm over it. I don't think it meant anything.
- Asami Sato: I doubt that.
- Bolin: Ughh! Man! I had this awful dream that Korra was taken by this evil bloodbender. So weird.
- Asami Sato: Bolin, that really happened. He knocked us out.
- Bolin: Are you serious? Where is he? Is he here right now?
- Saikhan: Tarrlok is long gone. I'll alert the whole force.
- Lin Beifong: We've only been out for a little while. Maybe we can still pick up Tarrlok's trail.
- Tenzin: It could lead us to Korra! Let's go.
- Tenzin: What happened? What was Korra doing at City Hall?
- Tarrlok: As I told Chief Saikhan, Korra came to my office last night. She was upset that I arrested her friends. She asked me to release them and- that's when the Equalist's attacked.I tried to protect Korra. We were outnumbered, then, I was electrocuted. When I came to, the police had arrived. But Korra was gone. I'm so sorry. Chief Saikhan, mobilize the entire police force. We have to find the Avatar.
- Lin Beifong: Hope you got enough beauty rest. Come on, I'm busting you out.
- Asami Sato: Thanks. I owe you.
- Toph Beifong: What are you doing here, Aang? I told you. I have this under control.
- Aang: Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't get involved, but if what those victims say is true, we're not dealing with a normal criminal.
- Toph Beifong: Fine. Follow me, Twinkle Toes.
- Aang: Toph, I'm forty years old. Do you thunk you could stop with the nicknames?
- Toph Beifong: 'Fraid not.
- [some time later]
- Toph Beifong: It's over! You're under arrest, Yakone!
- Yakone: What is Republic City coming to? Used to be, a man could enjoy his lunch in peace. What's the big idea?
- Aang: We have dozens of witnesses, Yakone. We know what you are.
- Toph Beifong: Take him away.
- Tenzin: Lin, what are you... you should be in the hospital! And you three! You should be in prison
- Lin Beifong: I figured you could use our help finding Korra.
- Mako: Do you have any leads?
- Tenzin: I've been on the phone all morning, but nothing yet.
- Mako: We need Naga! She can track Korra!
- Tenzin: I'm afraid her polar bear dog is missing as well.
- Mako: Let's try this way.
- Asami Sato: What if Korra's not down there?
- Mako: Then we pick another tunnel until we find her!
- Lin Beifong: Hate to break up your lovers' reunion, but Korra's in trouble. Amon captured her.
- Mako: No. No. She can't be gone!
- Bailiff: Councilman Sokka will now deliver the verdict.
- Sokka: In my years, I've encountered people born with rare and unique bending abilities. I once bested a man with my trusty boomerang who was able to firebend with his mind. Why, even metalbending was considered impossible for all of history until our esteemed Chief of Police, Toph Beifong, singlehandedly developed the skill. The overwhelming amount of testimony and evidence has convinced this council that Yakone is one of these unique benders and he exploited his ability to commit these heinous crimes. We find Yakone guilty of all charges and sentence him to life in prison.
- Lin Beifong: I scanned the entire prison. Korra's not here.
- Mako: Why would Tarrlok make up a story about getting attacked?
- Tenzin: Because he has Korra. He fooled us all!
- Amon: I'll take care of him. You four retrieve the Avatar. Do not underestimate her. Electrocute the box to knock her out before you open it.
- Lieutenant: My pleasure.
- Mako: That sounds like Naga! Down there!
- [They see a hurt Korra on Naga's back]
- Tenzin: Korra! Oh, thank goodness.
- Lin Beifong: Where's Tarrlok? How did you get away?
- Mako: Give her some space!
- [picks her up and carries her to Oogi]
- Mako: I was so worried. Are you all right?
- Korra: I'm fine. I'm glad you're here.
- Mako: You're safe now.
- Tarrlok: Have you news of Avatar Korra?
- Tenzin: We do. You kidnapped her, Tarrlok!
- Tarrlok: I am shocked you would accuse me of such an evil act! I already explained: Equalists attacked us and took her!
- Tenzin: But there were no chi-blockers here last night. You planted the evidence, didn't you?
- Tarrlok: That is a ridiculous accusation!
- Council Page: It's true! He took her! I was here when Avatar Korra arrived last night, but Councilman Tarrlok ordered me to leave. I was on my way out when I saw Tarrlok bring her down to the garage.
- Tarrlok: That is nonsense! Everyone knows you're nothing but a squeaky-voiced liar!
- Lin Beifong: Why did you wait until now to 'fess up?
- Council Page: I was terrified to tell because... Because Tarrlok is a bloodbender! He bloodbent Avatar Korra!
- Tenzin: Don't make this worse for yourself. Tell us where you have Korra!
- [Tarrlok bloodbends them and runs]
- [being bloodbent]
- Aang: Yakone. You won't get away with this!
- Yakone: Republic City's mine, Avatar. I'll be back one day to claim it.
- [Aang breaks out of it and chases him, only to be bloodbent again]
- Yakone: This time I'm gonna put you to sleep for good!
- [Aang breaks out of it and traps him]
- Aang: I'm taking away your bending, for good.
- [Energybends him and takes away his bending]
- Aang: It's over.
- Tarrlok: My life is a disaster now, thanks to you.
- Korra: So your little bloodbending secret's out? And I know how you bloodbent me without a full moon. You're Yakone's son.
- Tarrlok: I was his son, but in order to win Republic City, I had to become someone else. My father failed because he tried to rule the city from its rotten underbelly. My plan was perfect. I was to be the city's savior. But you, you ruined everything!
- Korra: Tarrlok, the jig is up and you have nowhere to go.
- Tarrlok: Oh no. No, I'll escape and start a new life. And you're coming as my hostage.
- Korra: You'll never get away with this!
- Lieutenant: It's payback time
- [electricutes the box, but Korra is holding on to a harm band not touching it]
- Lieutenant: Open the box. Tie her up.
- [Korra jumps up and attacks them. She escapes to see Amon and snowbends away from him, down a hill]
- Amon: I thought I told you not to underestimate her.
- Korra: Whoa. I finally connected with you, Aang. But, what are you trying to tell me? A way out of this box would be nice.
