The Legend of Korra (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 10 - Turning the Tides - full transcript
The Equalists begin their attack on Republic City.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.
Water.
Only the Avatar can
master all four elements
and bring balance to the world.
Amon's revolution grows
stronger by the day!
First, he attacked
the bending arena!
Then it was discovered that
Hiroshi Sato was the mastermind
behind the Equalist
gloves and mecha-tanks!
And most recently, Amon
ambushed Councilman Tarrlok,
took his bending, and nearly
captured the Avatar, as well!
Everyone is on edge,
wondering where will
Amon strike next?
Daddy, you're home.
We waited up for you.
Is Korra okay?
Yes, she's fine, sweetie.
I was scared. I thought
she wasn't coming back.
I'm sorry you were scared.
But everything is going to be fine now.
I promise.
The food tastes amazing, Pema.
I'm finally starting to
feel like myself again.
We're so thankful
you're home safe.
Let me help.
Korra, I realize you've
been through a lot,
but I need to know
everything that happened.
Well, first off, Tarrlok
isn't who he says he is.
He's Yakone's son.
It all makes sense now.
That's how Tarrlok was able to
bloodbend us without a full moon.
But how did you escape?
And where's Tarrlok?
Amon captured him and
took his bending.
What?
Yeah, he showed up out of nowhere.
He almost got me, too.
This is very disturbing news.
Amon is becoming emboldened.
Taking out a councilman,
almost capturing the Avatar...
I fear Amon is
entering his endgame.
Pema, are you all right?
The baby is just kicking
really hard, is all.
- I'm fine.
- Should I get Tenzin?
No reason to worry him.
It's nothing.
Can I get some hot water?
Korra needs more tea.
You're a Firebender.
Boil it yourself.
I'm going to step out, in
case you two want to talk.
Is there something we
need to talk about?
I've noticed how
you treat Korra,
how you acted when
she was missing.
You have feelings
for her, don't you?
What? No.
She was taken by a crazy Bloodbender!
How did you expect me to act?
I like Korra.
But you've been keeping the
truth from me this whole time.
The truth? About what?
You're really going
to make me say it?
Yes, because I don't know
what you're talking about.
The kiss, Mako. I know.
I... Well...
Bolin told you, didn't he?
Don't blame your brother
for what you did.
Do you have feelings
for Korra, or not?
Look, things are
crazy right now.
Can we deal with our
relationship problems later?
Well, there might not be any
relationship to worry about later.
Asami...
Lin, I need to ask you a favor.
It would mean the world to me,
but I know it could be a potentially
awkward situation. Furthermore...
Spit it out already!
Will you stay here and watch
over Pema and the children
while I meet with the Council?
With everything that's
happened lately,
I want to be sure my
family is in safe hands.
Of course I'll help, old friend.
I didn't realize you
two were out here.
Pema! Yes, yes...
Lin has agreed to
help out around here
and keep an eye on
things while I'm away.
Thank you. I could use
the extra pair of hands.
Would you mind giving him a bath?
He's filthy.
This is not what
I signed on for!
Thank you, Lin!
Oogi, yip yip!
I gotta poo! Really bad!
Do you know where my keys are?
I can't find them anywhere.
No, dear.
- Found them!
- Good, dear.
Don't wait up for me,
this Council session will
probably go late into the night.
The door, dear.
We're here to fix a
spider-rat problem.
I didn't call an exterminator.
Dear?
I'm so relieved to see you!
The other Council members,
are they all right?
I'm afraid not. I just received
a call from Chief Saikhan.
They've all been captured!
This can't be happening.
The leadership of Republic
City is in your hands now.
It is a tragic day, indeed!
All right, kids,
time to go inside.
We heard explosions.
What's going on?
Republic City is under attack.
I've dreamed of this
day for so long.
Yes. The time has come
for the Equalists to claim
Republic City as their own.
Where did you say
you parked the car?
It's right around
here somewhere.
There it is!
Nice parking job.
Hey, you guys got arrested and
left me alone with the car.
I made it very clear I
don't know how to drive.
All things considered,
you did a great job.
But how are we going to pay for
all these parking tickets?
Relax, the city's under attack.
The police have more important
things to worry about.
This'll come in handy.
Why don't you sit in back?
With Korra.
I think I will.
Everything all right?
Yeah. Everything's terrific.
Car! We're good.
Chief, Air Unit Seven was just
taken out by an Equalist airship!
They've crashed into the harbor!
Send a River Rescue Unit.
Chief, all River Rescue
ships have been sabotaged!
What?
Chief Saikhan.
Tenzin! Am I glad to see you.
I was afraid you'd
been captured, too.
I'm the only Council member left.
What's the status?
Amon has launched simultaneous
attacks across the boroughs.
The police are trying to regain
control, but we're spread too thin.
I need to send a wire.
To whom, Councilman?
The General of the
United Forces.
Councilman, your
wire has been sent.
Chief, the phone lines
just went dead!
Catch.
Saikhan, the vents!
We need to evacuate immediately.
Everyone stay close to me!
Not these mecha-tanks again!
Saikhan. No.
Jump!
Thank you.
Tenzin has escaped once again.
I can't stand to see Asami
fighting alongside those benders.
We will capture them before long, and
you will have your daughter back.
Are you all right?
I'm fine. Thank you, kids.
Another moment later and I
would've been on my way to Amon.
Guys, look.
No.
Everyone, hide inside
and remain calm.
Pull it together, Pema! Didn't
I just say remain calm?
Mommy, what's wrong?
The baby's coming!
- No.
- Not now, baby!
The children, where are they?
Don't worry, they're in the
other room, totally safe.
Stay away from my
dad's ex-girlfriend!
Jinora, you shouldn't
be out here!
Get off our island!
Girls, you need to go
back inside this instant!
Taste my fury!
Meelo, be careful!
Never mind.
Take these Equalists
and lock them in the
temple's basement.
Nice work, kids.
Dad!
Thank goodness you're all right!
We caught the bad guys!
You let them fight?
Do you realize what
could have happened?
I would've been toast if
it weren't for your kids.
You should be proud.
You taught them well.
Go on, be with your wife.
Pema!
Tenzin.
I'm here, Pema.
Our new son.
Hello.
Come meet your new brother!
A brother? Well,
it's about time!
Welcome! I'm Ikki and
this is Jinora and Meelo.
We have a super great family, and we're
so happy that you're a part of it.
What are you going to name him?
Can I pick?
We already chose a name.
Rohan.
I'm so sorry to
interrupt, but...
More airships are coming.
Everything's not going to
be fine, is it, Daddy?
What do you want to do, Tenzin?
I need to protect my family
and get them as far away from
this conflict as possible.
If Amon got his hands
on my children...
I hate to even think of it.
If you're leaving, then
I'm going with you.
- But...
- No arguments.
You and your family are
the last Airbenders.
There's no way in the world
I'm letting Amon take
your bending away.
Thank you, Lin.
Korra, I want you to leave this
island and hide for the time being.
I'm not giving up.
I'm not asking you to.
I've sent word to the United Forces.
They will be here soon.
And once my family is
safe, I will return.
With the reinforcements, we can
turn the tide in this war.
What you're saying is,
we need to be patient.
You're learning well.
- Stay safe, Korra.
- You, too.
Tenzin, if we're leaving,
we better do it now!
Oogi, yip yip.
Go! We'll hold them off.
Everyone, climb on!
Let's go, girl!
Mustache guy!
Nice one, Naga!
- They're gaining on us!
- Faster, Oogi!
Whatever happens to
me, don't turn back.
Lin, what are you doing?
That lady is my hero!
Yes, she is.
Korra, we should get moving.
Tell me where the Avatar is, and
I'll let you keep your bending.
I won't tell you
anything, you monster!
Very well.
General, I just received
a wire from the Avatar.
She says Amon and his forces
have gained control of the city.
How do you want to respond?
Tell her we will be arriving
in three days' time.
And that I look forward to winning
back Republic City, together.
As you wish, General Iroh.
Fire.
Air.
Water.
