The Ultimatum

- EARTH.

FIRE.

AIR.

WATER.

ONLY THE AVATAR CAN MASTER ALL FOUR ELEMENTS

AND BRING BALANCE TO THE WORLD.

- BA SING SE HAS FALLEN!

AFTER ZAHEER AND THE RED LOTUS TOPPLED THE EARTH QUEEN,

THE CITY DESCENDED INTO CHAOS.

MEANWHILE, KORRA AND ASAMI TRIED TO ESCAPE THEIR CAPTORS

BUT CRASHED IN THE DESERT.

AFTER GETTING TO SAFETY, THEY MET UP

WITH LORD ZUKO, TONRAQ, AND BEIFONG.

BACK IN BA SING SE, ZAHEER FREED MAKO AND BOLIN,

GIVING THEM A VITAL MESSAGE TO DELIVER TO KORRA.

BUT WILL THE BROTHERS FIND HER IN TIME?

- I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THE UPPER RING IS IN CHAOS.

- DON'T TRY TO STOP US. WE'RE TAKING BACK WHAT'S OURS.

- STOP YOU? I'M GONNA JOIN YOU.

I KNOW WHERE THE GOOD STUFF IS.

- SHOULD WE DO SOMETHING? - THIS ISN'T OUR BATTLE.

WE HAVE TO DELIVER ZAHEER'S MESSAGE TO KORRA IMMEDIATELY.

- RIGHT. OKAY. FIND KORRA, DELIVER MESSAGE.

YEAH, THIS SHOULD BE EASY.

WE JUST GOTTA GET OUT OF THE CITY

AND GET TO THE DESERT, THEN SOMEHOW FIND HER

IN THE VAST, EXPANSIVE WASTELAND THAT GOES ON FOR THOUSANDS

AND THOUSANDS OF MILES.

[sighs] THIS ISN'T GONNA BE EASY.

- WE NEED AN AIRSHIP.

- OOH!

- EXCUSE ME, MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?

I'M WITH THE REPUBLIC CITY POLICE,

AND I NEED TO COMMANDEER THIS AIRSHIP TO HELP THE AVATAR.

- LET ME GIVE IT A SHOT.

HEY, THE QUEEN'S GOLD IS ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE PALACE!

SECOND DOOR ON THE RIGHT!

YOU JUST GOTTA KNOW HOW TO TALK TO THEM, BRO.

- THEY TOOK EVERYTHING.

I MEAN, WHO RIPS OUT A TRANSMISSION RADIO?

- SOME FOLKS JUST DO NOT HAVE RESPECT

FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY.

NOW LET'S STEAL THIS AIRSHIP!

- YOU KNOW HOW TO FLY THIS THING?

- TECHNICALLY SPEAKING? NO.

BUT, COME ON, HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

[all scream]

- UP! UP!

- I DON'T SEE ANY "UP" BUTTON. I SEE LEVERS AND SWITCHES.

OH, THERE IT IS.

- THE WHOLE CITY IS FALLING TO PIECES.

- MAKO, OUR FAMILY'S DOWN THERE.

- MOVE OVER. - AHH!

- WE'RE GETTING THEM OUT.

- OH, YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU DATED ASAMI,

YOU KNOW HOW TO FLY THIS BETTER THAN ME?

- YEAH.

- BOLIN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I CAME TO GET YOU GUYS OUT.

THIS WHOLE BLOCK IS ABOUT TO GO UP IN FLAMES.

COME ON, MAKO AND I HAVE AN AIRSHIP ON THE ROOF.

- WE CAN'T. GRANDMA WON'T GO.

- THIS PLACE IS MY WHOLE WORLD. I WILL NOT LEAVE.

OH, BUT I'M SO GLAD MY LITTLE BOLIN HAS COME BACK TO VISIT.

SIT DOWN. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?

- GRANDMA, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR TEA.

- MOM, PLEASE. - NO!

I CAN'T ABANDON THE PLACE WHERE I RAISED MY FAMILY.

IT'S MY HOME.

- GRANDMA, THERE'S ONE THING THAT MAKO AND I HAVE LEARNED

FROM ALL OUR YEARS ON THE STREET:

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU GO.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR FAMILY WITH YOU,

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE AT HOME.

- I'M NOT GOING.

- FINE! YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.

WE'RE ROLLING OUT!

- [gasps] WAIT.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

- THANKS FOR GETTING US OUT OF THERE.

I MEAN, I PROBABLY COULD HAVE HANDLED IT MYSELF

IF YOU GUYS DIDN'T SHOW UP, BUT THANKS.

- [kisses] MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

THIS AIRSHIP IS NICE. IS IT OUR NEW HOME?

- NO, GRANDMA, I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOU.

BUT RIGHT NOW, WE NEED TO FIND KORRA.

- DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO THE AVATAR?

- I'M AFRAID SO.

HER AIRSHIP WENT DOWN SOMEWHERE IN THE DESERT.

SHE WAS COMING FROM A MILITARY BASE NEAR THE MISTY PALMS OASIS

AND HEADING TO BA SING SE.

IF WE RETRACE HER ROUTE BACK TO THE BASE,

WE SHOULD FIND THE WRECKAGE.

- [snores]

- GUYS, IT'S THE WRECKAGE. I FOUND IT.

THERE.

- THAT'S A BA SING SE AIRSHIP, ALL RIGHT.

BUT WHERE'S THE REST OF IT?

- I DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE ARE SOME TRACKS.

SEE? I TOLD YOU. LANDING IS HARD.

- [gasps] SPIRITS.

- OKAY, GUYS, WE THINK KORRA FOUND HER WAY BACK HERE.

NOW LET'S SPLIT OFF INTO TEAMS AND SCOUR THE TOWN.

YES, WE'LL NEED YOUR HELP TOO, PABU.

NOW JUST GIVE ME A SECOND WHILE I--[gasps]

WAIT. PABU?

PABU! [laughs]

- WHY IS BOLIN HUGGING THAT BIG RAT?

EW. NOW HE'S KISSING IT.

- MWAH, MWAH, MWAH, MWAH.

I'M NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO AGAIN.

- GUYS, LOOK OUT! GIANT DOG-BEAST THINGY!

[all shout]

- OKAY, ALL RIGHT, NAGA. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.

AHH, STOP. YOU'RE LICKING MY MOUTH.

[spits]

- ASAMI! KORRA!

- YOU GUYS ARE OKAY!

SORRY, I WAS JUST-- IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- IT'S REALLY GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO, BOTH OF YOU.

- GOOD. YOU GUYS AREN'T DEAD.

- DON'T GET ALL MUSHY ON ME, CHIEF.

TONRAQ, SIR.

- OH, MY GOSH. IT'S LORD ZUKO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. [whimpers]

- UH, FORGIVE MY BROTHER.

WE'RE JUST REALLY HONORED TO MEET YOU, SIR.

- IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU AS WELL.

- YOU MUST BE THE AVATAR.

MAKO TOLD ME SO MUCH ABOUT YOU.

YOU ARE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I IMAGINED.

- UH, ACTUALLY, THAT'S ASAMI. THIS IS AVATAR KORRA.

KORRA, THIS IS MY GRANDMA, YIN.

- YOU ARE VERY MUSCULAR FOR A WOMAN.

- UM, THANKS. YOU TOO?

- WHAT LOVELY YOUNG WOMEN.

MAKO, WHY AREN'T YOU DATING ANY NICE GIRLS LIKE THEM?

- UH, SO WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TWO?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

- WE WERE CAPTURED BY ZAHEER AND TAKEN TO BA SING SE.

WE WERE THERE WHEN THE EARTH QUEEN WAS OVERTHROWN.

- WHAT? HOW DID YOU ESCAPE?

- ZAHEER LET US GO.

- WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

- BECAUSE HE WANTED US TO FIND YOU AND DELIVER A MESSAGE.

- ZAHEER IS HEADED TO THE NORTHERN AIR TEMPLE AS WE SPEAK.

HE SAID HE'S GONNA WIPE OUT THE NEW AIR NATION

AND EVERYONE IN IT, UNLESS YOU TURN YOURSELF OVER TO HIM.

- ZAHEER'S THREATENING INNOCENT LIVES, JUST TO GET TO ME.

- HE COULD BE BLUFFING.

- HE'S ALREADY TAKEN OUT THE EARTH QUEEN.

I DON'T THINK HE BLUFFS.

- WE NEED TO RADIO TENZIN AND WARN HIM THAT

THE RED LOTUS IS COMING.

- I AGREE. UNFORTUNATELY,

WE DON'T HAVE A RADIO ON THE AIRSHIP.

- THERE'S A PORTABLE RADIO IN THE JEEP,

BUT THE SIGNAL WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE NORTHERN AIR TEMPLE.

- WE NEED TO GET TO A PLACE THAT HAS A STRONG RADIO TRANSMITTER.

THE METAL CLAN WILL HAVE ONE.

- LET'S GO. WE'LL RADIO SU ON THE WAY.

HOPEFULLY SHE CAN GET AHOLD OF TENZIN AT THE AIR TEMPLE

BY THE TIME WE GET TO ZAOFU.

DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK GETTING THROUGH TO TENZIN?

- NO ONE'S ANSWERING. WHAT IF ZAHEER IS ALREADY UP THERE?

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE LET OPAL GO.

- IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY, SU.

- I HOPE SO.

[radio static]

- WE HAVE A STRONG SIGNAL, BUT NO ONE'S ANSWERING.

- I CAN'T JUST SIT AROUND HERE WHILE A MADMAN

IS ON HIS WAY TO THE NORTHERN AIR TEMPLE.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. - I'LL READY MY AIRSHIP.

WITH THE FULL FORCE OF THE METAL CLAN SECURITY

BACKING US, WE CAN TAKE THEM.

- WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT UP THERE BEFORE ZAHEER.

- THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER WAY TO STOP HIM.

IT'S A LONG SHOT,

BUT ZAHEER IS ALWAYS MEDITATING INTO THE SPIRIT WORLD,

AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE GOES: XAI BAU'S GROVE.

IF I COULD FIND HIM THERE, MAYBE I COULD SOMEHOW TRAP HIM.

- WE CAN'T PROTECT YOU IN THERE. I DON'T LIKE IT.

- I'LL BE FINE. I HAVE TO TRY.

- I'LL WATCH OVER HER AS SHE MEDITATES.

- I GUESS IN THE MEANTIME, MAKO AND I WILL STAY HERE

AND TRY TO GET THROUGH TO THE TEMPLE.

- WE'LL HELP SU READY THE AIRSHIP.

- I'M GOING TO TAKE A NAP.

- ZAHEER, COME OUT! FACE ME!

LEAVE THE AIRBENDERS OUT OF THIS.

THERE YOU ARE.

- PLEASE DON'T HURT ME, KORRA.

I'M JUST AN OLD MAN.

- IROH? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I WAS JUST OUT SEARCHING FOR A NEW TEAPOT

TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION, BUT INSTEAD I FOUND YOU.

[laughs]

IN THE SPIRIT WORLD, YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND SOMETHING

YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE LOOKING FOR.

YOU LOOK TROUBLED.

- I AM. - SIT.

WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND?

- THERE'S A MANIAC ON THE LOOSE,

AND HE'S THREATENING TO DESTROY THE NEW AIR NATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

- JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE AVATAR

DOESN'T MEAN YOU WILL HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

- I KNOW MANY AVATARS HAVE NEEDED GUIDANCE,

BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE SINCE AVATAR WAN

THAT CAN'T GET HELP FROM MY PAST LIVES.

I WISH I COULD TALK TO AANG.

- YOU KNOW, ZUKO AND AANG WERE CLOSE FRIENDS.

- LORD ZUKO, OF COURSE.

- YES, MY NEPHEW.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP STARTED OFF A LITTLE ROCKY,

BUT THEY GREW TO BECOME LIFELONG FRIENDS.

BEST FRIENDS.

- THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE SPIRIT WORLD.

I CAME HERE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE,

BUT I'M GLAD I FOUND YOU.

- DID YOU FIND ZAHEER? - NO, HE WASN'T THERE.

BUT THERE'S SOMEONE I NEED TO TALK TO.

YOU'RE LEAVING? AREN'T YOU COMING TO THE AIR TEMPLE WITH US?

- I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T.

I'M GOING BACK TO THE FIRE NATION.

IF IT'S TRUE THAT THE RED LOTUS IS TARGETING

THE NATION'S LEADERS, I NEED TO PROTECT MY DAUGHTER.

- I UNDERSTAND, YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE FIRE LORD SAFE.

BUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE,

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH SOMETHING.

- I WAS OFTEN AANG'S COUNCIL, AND I'D LOVE TO BE YOURS.

- THAT'S JUST IT, YOU KNEW AANG BETTER THAN ANYONE.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNEW WHAT HE MIGHT DO

IF HE WERE IN MY SITUATION.

- HMM, REBUILDING THE AIR NATION WAS AANG'S BIGGEST DREAM.

HE WOULD BE BESIDE HIMSELF WITH JOY WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE,

AND IF HE ACCOMPLISHED THAT GOAL,

HE MIGHT HAVE SACRIFICED ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT.

- SO HE WOULD GIVE HIMSELF UP TO SAVE THE AIR NATION?

- I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

THE AIRBENDERS MIGHT HAVE BEEN CLOSEST TO AANG'S HEART,

BUT AS THE AVATAR, HE WAS CONCERNED

WITH PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS.

NO ONE KNEW BETTER THAN AANG THAT IN TIMES OF TURMOIL

THE WORLD NEEDS ITS AVATAR THE MOST.

- THANKS. YOUR UNCLE WAS RIGHT.

IT WAS HELPFUL TALKING TO YOU.

- WAIT, YOU SPOKE WITH MY UNCLE?

- YES, IN THE SPIRIT WORLD.

A COUPLE OF TIMES ACTUALLY.

[footsteps approaching]

- GUYS, WE GOT THROUGH TO THE AIR TEMPLE.

- WHO IS THIS?

- I TOLD YOU, IT'S BOLIN!

- BOLIN'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW, CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?

- NO, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR BOLIN, I AM BOLIN!

AHH, LOOK, I NEED YOU TO FIND YOUR DAD.

- HE'S OUTSIDE WITH THE BISON.

DID YOU KNOW WE FOUND A WHOLE HERD FULL OF BABY BISON?

- NO. A WHOLE HERD, REALLY?

[grunts]

- MEELO, THIS IS YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER.

GO GET YOUR DAD, NOW.

- YES, SIR.

- COME ON. COME ON.

- HELLO, THIS IS TENZIN.

- TENZIN, LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY.

ZAHEER IS ON HIS WAY TO THE TEMPLE.

HE'S COMING FOR THE AIRBENDERS.

YOU HAVE TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF THERE IMMEDIATELY.

DROP EVERYTHING. LEAVE NOW!

- OH, NO. - WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

TENZIN! TENZIN, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

- IT'S TOO LATE.

HE'S HERE.

- WHAT IS IT, DADDY?

- WE NEED TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE.

STAY CLOSE TO ME.

- WHAT'S GOING ON, TENZIN?

- IT'S ZAHEER. ROUND EVERYONE UP.

WE NEED TO GET TO THE BISON AND EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY.

- GUYS, WE GOT AN EMERGENCY.

WE'RE EVACUATING THE TEMPLE. COME ON.

LOOK OUT!

[door opens]

- IT'S ZAHEER. WE HAVE TO LEAVE.

- [screams]

- NO ONE'S GOING ANYWHERE, OR SHE GETS IT.

- GOOD, THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS HERE.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET A TRUE AIRBENDING MASTER.

- WHAT IS IT YOU WANT FROM US?

- NOTHING AT ALL.

IN FACT, IF EVERYONE COOPERATES,

YOU WILL ALL WALK OUT OF THIS SITUATION UNHARMED.

- THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I WANT KORRA, AND I'M TIRED OF CHASING HER.

- YOU'RE USING US AS LEVERAGE? - YES.

- I WILL NEVER LET YOU GET TO KORRA.

- UNFORTUNATELY, YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

- YES, I DO.

[all grunt]

JINORA, GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE.

BUMI, KYA, HELP ME HOLD THEM OFF.

AND STAY OUT OF HER LINE OF SIGHT. GO. GO!

[bison growling]

- [grunts]

- IT'S TOO DANGEROUS-- WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT

TO THE STABLES WITH HER UP THERE.

- [grunting]

- [strains]

[gasps]

- [screams]

- NO.

[grunts]

- [yells]

[both grunting]

- [screams]

- [yells]

- OOF!

- I SEE YOU'RE HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS I AM.

- I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. - WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- WHATEVER I CAN.

GET TO THE BISON! GET OUT OF HERE!

- KAI! NO.

- [yells]

[shouts]

[both scream]

I GOT YOU.

[strains]

[gasps]

- BUMI, LET GO.

- BUT WE COULD DIE.

- WE'RE GONNA DIE IF WE HANG ON.

[both screaming]

- OOF.

- [grunts]

[yells]

[groans]

- GIVE UP. IT'S OVER.

- AS LONG AS I'M BREATHING, IT'S NOT OVER.

[grunting]

- [gasps] WHOA!

THANKS, BUDDY.

YIP-YIP.
