The Legend of Korra (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Aftermath - full transcript
Korra suspects that an ally is working with the Equalists.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.
Water.
Only the Avatar can
master all four elements
and bring balance to the world.
Although the Hundred Year
War has long passed,
we are not living
in a time of peace.
These revolutionaries, who
call themselves Equalists,
are not interested
in equality at all.
They just want to wage
war against benders.
Chief Beifong was supposed
to protect Republic City,
but she was powerless to stop
Amon's attack on the arena.
She has failed us all.
If we are to survive
these dire times,
our law enforcement
needs new leadership.
I still can't believe they're
shutting this place down.
Yeah, we had some good
memories here, didn't we?
Guys, great news!
You don't have to go
back on the streets.
I talked to Tenzin and
made all the arrangements.
You can come live on Air
Temple island with me.
We'd love to, but...
Asami already invited us to live
in her dad's giant mansion!
From here on out, it's gonna
be the lap of luxury for us!
Hey, Korra!
I was hoping you'd stop by.
I was just leaving.
So, I guess I'll see you guys around...
Sometime.
Why not tomorrow?
I'd love to have you
come visit the estate.
I don't know. I have
some Avatar stuff to do.
Come on, Korra!
We all deserve a little rest and
relaxation after all this craziness.
We can swim in Asami's pool.
It'll be fun.
All right, Pabu.
Great, we'll see you tomorrow.
Looks like our intel was good.
There's enough evidence here
to bury Cabbage Corp
for an eternity.
This is an outrage!
I'm innocent!
Yeah, yeah, that's
what they all say.
Is it true that Cabbage Corp is
conspiring with the Equalists?
The evidence points in that direction,
but the investigation is ongoing.
For the time being,
we have frozen Mr. Gan-Ian's assets
and are closing Cabbage Corp.
No! Not my Cabbage Corp!
Hey, Korra.
Tahno?
Listen, I know we're not
exactly best friends,
but I'm sorry Amon
took your bending.
I've been to the best
healers in the city.
Whatever Amon did to
me, it's permanent.
You gotta get him for me.
Mr. Sato,
if you remember anything else about
what you saw during Amon's attack,
be sure to let us know.
I'm happy to help any way I can.
I want these Equalists to
pay for what they've done.
We're ready for you now.
See you around, Avatar.
Earthbending bomb!
Avatar Korra has arrived.
- Hey, Korra!
- Glad you made it!
Welcome to paradise.
Looks like you guys
settled right in.
Pretty much. Except someone forgot to
ask her father if we could stay here.
Yeah, but I smoothed
it over with him.
It's easier to ask for
forgiveness than permission.
This is the greatest place in the world!
Watch this, watch this.
Fetch me my towel, good sir!
Yes, Master Bolin.
"Master Bolin."
I love this guy!
Now, pat me dry.
As you wish.
Don't forget Master Pabu.
Wouldn't dream of it, sir.
So, what do you have
planned for us today?
Let me guess. Shopping?
Makeovers?
I vote makeovers!
I have something a little
more exciting in mind.
Pretty cool, huh?
Way cooler than a makeover.
This is where Future industries
test drives their Sato-mobiles.
Ever been behind the wheel?
The only thing I know how to
drive is a polar bear-dog.
You want me to take
you for a spin?
Let's do it.
Yeah!
That was amazing!
I didn't think we'd make it.
Well, you can't be afraid
to mix it up sometimes.
I gotta admit, I had
you pegged wrong.
I thought you were
kind of prissy.
No offense.
It's all right.
People usually assume that I'm
"Daddy's helpless little girl,"
but I can handle myself.
I mean, I've been in self-defense
classes since I was this high.
My dad made sure I would always
be able to protect myself.
Smart guy.
Emergency! Emergency!
Coming through!
Is there another
bathroom I can use?
We have a ladies'
powder room upstairs.
First door on your right. You
can freshen up in there.
Thanks.
No, no! I assure you,
everything is going
exactly as planned.
Yes.
Luckily, the Cabbage Corp investigation
has bought us enough time.
Trust me, by the end of the
week, we'll be ready to strike.
You're leaving?
- But I thought...
- Sorry, I forgot,
I'm supposed to airsit...
I mean babybend...
I mean babysit the
Airbender kids.
See you later!
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.
That's right.
A motive? What is it?
Twelve years ago, the Agni Kai
Triad robbed Sato's mansion.
A Firebender killed Sato's
wife during the break-in.
That's terrible.
It was tragic.
It's possible he's been harboring
anti-bending sentiment all this time.
Maybe we should look at Mr.
Sato a little more closely.
What's going on?
Why are they asking
Hiroshi more questions?
I overheard him on
the phone yesterday.
Asami, I don't know
how to tell you this,
but I think your father might
be involved with the Equalists.
What? I don't believe this!
You spied on Hiroshi?
What's your problem?
Mr. Sato, we just have a few
follow-up questions for you...
My father is innocent!
Just because we're not benders,
doesn't mean we support
those awful Equalists!
Equalists? Is that
what this is about?
I can assure you, I have nothing
to do with those radicals.
Yeah, you don't know what
you're talking about, Korra.
I overheard you on the phone.
You said the Cabbage Corp
investigation bought you time,
and you're getting
ready to strike.
Explain that!
This is all just a
misunderstanding
resulting from the young
Avatar's overactive imagination.
My number one competitor was
knocked out of the game.
It's providing me an opportunity
to "strike" the market with
a new line of Sato-mobiles.
It's just business.
Nothing nefarious.
In order to put all
suspicions to rest,
might we have a look into your
factories and warehouses?
If you feel it's necessary,
you are welcome to search
all of Future industries.
Is it possible the presidents of
Cabbage Corp and Future Industries
both have Equalist ties?
Or did Hiroshi Sato frame his
longtime rival, Lau Gan-Ian?
Or did Chief Beifong just
plain arrest the wrong man?
So far the investigation has yielded
no evidence to incriminate Sato.
I can't believe we
didn't find anything.
It would appear
Hiroshi is innocent.
Okay, you did your search.
Now you can all leave.
So, I hope you're convinced now.
No, I'm not.
I don't care how cooperative
Hiroshi is being,
I know he's lying.
Why are you doing this?
Are you that jealous
of me and Asami?
What? Don't be ridiculous. That
has nothing to do with it.
If you don't drop this,
consider our friendship over.
I'm sorry. Hiroshi is not
the man you think he is.
I think you guys
should hear this.
"If you want to find the truth,"
"meet me under the north end of the
Silk Road Bridge at midnight."
Over here.
Listen, I joined the Equalists because
I believed in what Amon said.
I thought he could make life
better for us non-benders.
But I didn't sign up for this...
This war.
What do you have
on Hiroshi Sato?
He manufactured those
gloves for the Equalists.
I knew it!
And there are rumors he's working
on something even bigger...
Some new kind of weapon.
We searched all of Future
industries and found nothing.
That's because he has
a secret factory.
Where?
It's right underneath
the Sato mansion.
Raiding the Sato mansion
is a risky move
with Tarrlok breathing
down your neck.
- If we're wrong...
- I know, I can kiss my job goodbye.
But protecting Republic
City is all I care about.
We can't let Amon get his
hands on this new weapon.
What are you doing here?
We have reason to believe
there's a factory
hidden below the mansion.
I think I would have noticed if there
were a factory underneath my house.
The lies you people come up with
just to persecute my father...
Where is your father?
In his workshop,
behind the house.
Dad?
Hello?
Chief, the estate
has been secured.
No one's left the workshop
since we arrived.
Perhaps we just couldn't
see him leaving.
There's a tunnel beneath the workshop,
running deep into the mountainside.
What? There's no tunnel.
Do you think your dad
knows about this tunnel?
I don't understand.
There must be an explanation.
Maybe you don't know
everything about your father.
I'm sorry.
Officers, into the tunnel.
Be cautious.
You three stay up here.
Officer Song, keep
an eye on them.
Not your average
backyard workshop.
And I'm guessing those
are the new weapons.
Hiroshi was lying, all right.
But where is he?
What was that?
We need to get down there
and see what's going on.
Absolutely not.
You're staying put until
the Chief comes back.
All right, we'll stay put.
But can we wait
outside or something?
It's so dusty in this workshop.
No. We're waiting right here.
Okay, but don't blame
me if I start snee...
if I start snee...
What's your problem, bub?
I'm about to...
Sorry, pal.
We know you were
just doing your job.
Yeah, just stay put until
the Chief comes back.
That sounds very familiar, doesn't it?
Why? Because you said it.
Asami, you should stay here.
We'll check it out.
I have to find out the
truth about my father.
I understand.
That's why I'm going down
to find out for you.
Please.
All right.
Be careful.
I'm afraid you won't be able to
metalbend 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 setup.
You lured us down here!
Guilty as charged.
Korra!
Well, I'd say that was a
near-flawless test run.
Load everyone into the transports
and deliver them to Amon.
No.
Korra was right.
We gotta do something, quick!
Not so fast, boys.
Hello, Mr. Sato.
Wow, what a really
swell, scary factory
you have here under
your giant mansion.
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.
Dad, stop!
Why?
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!
Join me, Asami.
No.
I love you, Dad.
Let's get out of here!
My Metalbenders are on their way
to Amon, and it's all my fault.
Tarrlok's right, I
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 going to find my
officers and take Amon down.
But I'm going to do it
my way, outside the law.
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 live at
the Air Temple still stand?
Of course it does.
And Asami's welcome, too.
Thank you so much.
After everything
she's been through,
she's going to need you, Mako.
Fire.
Air.
Water.
Only the Avatar can
master all four elements
and bring balance to the world.
