The Legend of Korra

Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

The new air nation is in jeopardy.

In an effort to force Korra to surrender herself,

Zaheer ambushed the northern air temple.

Tenzin, Bumi and Kya attempted to hold off the Red Lotus

but were injured in battle.

The airbenders were unable to escape

and everyone was taken captive,

except Kai.

Now Korra and team Avatar race to the temple,

hoping to mount a rescue.

__

I say we make our approach from the west.

Drop down from the airship on cables.

Ambush these Red Lotus lowlifes before they know what hit them.

It'll never work.

That combustion lady will pick us off one by one.

You have a better idea how to save the airbenders?

Yeah.

We come up from the valley,

scale the side of the mountain, and take them off guard.

That could work.

And give them the high ground? No.

If their lavabender spots us,

he'll melt the mountainside and us with it.

Wait! I got it.

I'll disguise myself as a lost hiker.

And once I'm in the temple, I'll distract the Red Lotus

with my bird calls.

Caw! Caw!

Caw! Caw!

That's when you all strike!

Bird calls?

Really?

Well, I haven't noticed you offering any suggestions.

It doesn't matter.

None of these ideas will work.

The second Zaheer realizes we're up to something,

he'll wipe out the airbenders.

And Opal is one of those airbenders.

Believe me, I understand what's at stake.

Then I think you'll agree.

The only plan that will work is for me to give myself up.

What? Korra, no.

We'll figure out another way.

I talked it over with Lord Zuko,

and I've given it a lot of thought.

I have to do this.

You can't expect us to sit by and just let Zaheer take you.

The world has been out of balance for far too long.

It needs the air nation back again.

I can't let Zaheer destroy it and everyone we love.

Help me save the airbenders.

Then you can can worry about saving me.

We're with you, Korra.

Yes, whatever you need.

We're here.

I'll go radio Zaheer.

Zaheer, are you there?

It's me.

I've been waiting for your call.

So do we have a deal? Yes.

You release the airbenders, and then I'll turn myself over.

And take away the only leverage I have?

No.

I can't do that.

Listen carefully.

Here's what I want you to do.

Will you sit down?

I'm already tense enough as it is!

I'm just worried about Opal.

And Pabu's not here to comfort me.

I hope he and Naga are doing okay back in Zaofu.

No.

Not Mako's scarf!

- Bad dog and ratthingy! -

I'm very disappointed in you two.

Did you speak to Zaheer? Yes.

He told me to come to the top of Laghima's peak at noon. Alone.

Once he has me, he'll release the airbenders over to you

at the temple.

I think I figured out a way to play this

so the airbenders and Korra all come out in one piece.

How?

Zaheer doesn't know how many of us there are.

So we have the numbers advantage.

I say we split into two teams.

Mako, Bolin and Asami will take the airship up to the temple.

Meanwhile, my metalbenders, Tonraq, Lin, and I will get

into position below Laghima's peak.

Let go your earthly tether.

Enter the void.

Empty and become wind.

Empty and become wind.

The airbenders are secure.

Thank you, P'Li.

For everything.

Of course.

I want you to know,

not one day went by in that prison

when I didn't think of you.

The years apart only made my love for you stronger.

And, deep down, I knew you'd find a way to get me out.

Just like you saved me from becoming

that warlord's killing machine when I was a girl.

You've shown me what true freedom means.

And, after today,

we'll show the entire world what it means.

No more prisons.

No more running.

I love you, Zaheer.

I love you too.

Radio the second you see those airbenders.

I will, chief.

Good luck.

Be careful, Korra.

You too.

- Korra. - Don't worry, dad.

I'll be all right.

I just want you to know how proud I am of you.

The risk you're taking to save the air nation

will be remembered for generations.

I love you, dad.

I love you too, sweetheart.

And, dad.

Watch out for Zaheer.

He's not very fond of world leaders.

I can handle him.

Just stay focused on your mission.

Oh, man.

Must have been some fight.

Mako, do you see the airbenders?

Not yet.

We're just arriving.

Don't turn yourself over until I get a visual on them.

This way.

You want the airbenders or not?

Drop your staff and surrender yourself.

Don't make me come get you.

Mako.

What's going on?

They're here.

But so is the lavabender.

Tell ghazan to let the airbenders go.

Not until you turn yourself over.

This isn't a negotiation.

Wipe them out.

No! Wait!

I'm coming.

Stand down.

And don't bother trying to metalbend out of these.

They're platinum.

We have her.

It's okay, Tenzin.

We're about to get you out of here.

Korra, it was a trick!

They're not here!

Don't turn yourself over!

We had a deal!

Chief, get Korra out of there now!

Go! Go!

Get the Avatar on the airship.

I'll deal with them.
