03x06 - Old Wounds

Post by bunniefuu »

Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the Avatar can
master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

Lin Beifong has a sister.

After arriving in
Zaofu, Korra met Opal,

a new airbender, whose mother
is Lin's estranged half-sister.

Suyin and her daughter
welcomed Lin with open arms,

but she wanted nothing
to do with them.

Meanwhile, Zaheer infiltrated
air temple island

looking for the Avatar.

After battling with
Kya, he escaped

and is now a wanted
man in Republic City.

Hey, has anyone
seen chief Beifong?

She's probably off
sulking in her room.

I know she has a
problem with me,

but she had no right to
yell at Opal last night.

All set for your power
disc game today, guys?

Yeah, all set to
kick Wei's butt.

I'm going to power
disc your face.

You should come play with us.

Oh, I don't think I'd
be much competition

since I can't metalbend.

Really?

Lin never offered to train you?

Nope, and I guess I never
thought to bring it up

because I was
learning to airbend,

then there was the pro-bending,

then I got tied up
fighting the Equalists.

It was a busy few months.

Well, it's probably
for the best.

I'm sure Lin would be
a horrible teacher.

As the Avatar, you should have
mastery over all the elements.

I'd be happy to show
you the basics.

Really? That would be great.

You should try it too.

Uh, nah, I'm more
of an earth guy.

The dirt, rocks, you know,
maybe some light gravel...

that's kind of
where my heart is.

Okay, earth guy.

Well, let me know if
you change your mind.

Aah!

It worked! Zhu-Li, mark it down.

Magnet suit test successful.

Power down.

On to phase two... Zhu-Li
cleans up this mess.

How many push-ups did
you do last night?

'Cause I did, like, 50.

What do you two
think you're doing?

Get back to work.

Is everything all right here?

The Avatar is in danger,
and these two knuckleheads

are just standing
around chitchatting.

Don't worry.

Zaofu is the most secure
city in the world.

I'll be the judge of that.

I'm going to check every
inch of this place.

Lin, you do not have to
work while you are here.

You need to relax.

I'm fine!

Doesn't take a truthseer to know

that you are under a
dangerous amount of stress.

If you don't deal with
your repressed feelings,

there will be severe
consequences to your health

and your job.

I'm not interested in
talking about my feelings.

You won't have to say a word.

I know a great
acupuncturist in town

who will be able to help you.

Hmm.

Seems like you made quite a
stir on air temple island.

The cops are swarming the
city looking for us.

You still want to try to
take out the president?

No. He'll have to wait.

We leave today.

There's our ticket out of here.

There's no money. I just
made my last delivery.

We don't want money.

How many of those things
are you gonna stick in me?

I'll be placing several needles

on each of your acupoints.

There's nothing to
be scared about.

I'm not afraid of needles!

Please close your eyes
and take a deep breath.

This process will
correct the imbalances

in your chi.

Please tell me if you feel
any pain or pressure.

I can't feel a thing.

That's unusual.

Your chi must be
powerfully blocked.

We're going to
need more needles.

Acupuncture often taps into
people's buried memories.

These memories can sometimes
be difficult to process.

Buried memories, uh-huh.

Su, what are you doing home?

Wow.

You almost look like a real cop.

You're supposed to be in school.

Oh, no. Are you gonna tell mom?

It's not like she's
going to care.

Where'd you get all that stuff?

Uh, fell off the
back of a truck.

What are you doing hanging
out with these losers?

They're my friends, and you have
no right to call them that!

Come on, guys, let's
get out of here.

Su, stop!

Get your hands off of me!

You have so much potential.
You're ruining your life.

At least I have a life.

These meteorites are perfect
for beginning metalbenders.

The metals have a
unique property,

making them easier to bend.

That's amazing.

Here, try it.

Okay.

Bolin, is that you?

- No.
- What are you doing?

Oh, hey, ladies. I
was just, uh...

I was just looking for Pabu.
Pabu!

He's on your shoulder.

Oh, look, there you are.

You know, I thought something
was chewing on my ear.

I'm probably gonna
need to get a sh*t.

Pabu has sort of a venom...
a venom.

Anyway, so what are
you guys doing?

You're metalbending
over here or something?

- Want to give it a sh*t?
- Nah, it's okay.

I mean, only, like, one
earthbender in a hundred

can metalbend.

Well, don't believe
everything you hear.

The only thing limiting
you is your attitude.

You know, well,
maybe I'll just...

I'll just stay and watch.

Try to focus on the
fine pieces of earth

within the metal.

I can't believe it.
I'm metalbending!

Wow, you picked that up
really, really quick.

I guess you're that
one in a hundred.

Great job, Korra.

Calling all units.

Robbery reported on the
corner of fifth and harbor.

Suspects' vehicle headed
south on Hao Boulevard.

Units responding, identify.

Unit three responding.

Leave them alone!

Su?

Wait.

Leaving in the middle of a
session could make you sick.

I'm done here.

Are you gonna stay in your room

feeling sorry for
yourself all day?

You owe Opal an apology...

For the way you treated
her last night.

Are you okay?

- You don't look good.
- I'm fine.

What did you do to me?

I tried to warn you.

Come with me. Let's go
finish the session.

Just relax and breathe.

So you're robbing stores
with the Terra triad now?

I didn't steal anything.
I just drove the car.

I owed my friends a favor.
It's not a big deal.

I'm not letting you
get away with this.

Oh.

What are you going to
do, officer, arrest me?

Don't even think about
taking one more step!

Good afternoon. Where
are you off to today?

I, uh, got a delivery
to make in Bao Yu.

I should be back later today.

You all right?

Yeah, just a little tired.

One more pickup, then
I'm clocking out.

I thought you said
you had a delivery.

Did I?

I'm gonna need you to
step out of the vehicle

and open the back of the truck.

Hey, get back here!

Let's get out of here!

Hmm, hmm.

Hey, Bolin.

Opal! Oh, wow.

You really know how to
sneak up on someone.

What are you doing?

Oh, nothing, you know, just...

just thinking about my body and
mustaches that I might have

in the future.

You're acting weird again.

Sorry.

I wasn't really thinking
about all my mustaches.

I'm just... I'm just frustrated.

I've been trying to metalbend,
and I can't figure it out.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

- Why not?
- Because it's embarrassing.

This isn't the first
time I've tried.

I mean, I've been
wanting to metalbend

ever since I heard about Toph.

Your grandmother is
my biggest hero.

My mom grew up
learning from Toph.

Just go train with her.
Stop being so scared.

You know what?

Maybe I am scared,
but what about you?

I know that you want to go

to the northern air temple
to train with Tenzin,

but you haven't done it
because you're afraid too.

You know what? You're right.

I don't want to leave my
family and disappoint my mom.

Look at us...

Talking about our feelings,
supporting each other.

It's nice.

What were you thinking?

And what were you thinking?

You two have put me in
an impossible position.

You're mad at me?


She's the one who was running
around with criminals.

This is all your fault!

I was doing my job!

Ugh, all right, enough! Here's
what we're going to do.

Su, you need to leave the
city as soon as possible.

What? Where am I supposed to go?

You'll go stay with
your grandparents.

Lin, give me the arrest report.

Mom, what are you doing?

You can't cover this up.
There were witnesses.

I'm the chief of police.

I can't have a daughter in jail.

So, once again, Su gets
to do whatever she wants,

and there are no consequences.

This is our only option.

You're going to
feel a bit fragile,

so it's probably best if you
take it easy for a little while.

I don't need to rest.

I need to do something
I should've done

a long time ago.

Congratulations.

You're the first
metalbending Avatar.

So, um, I've been thinking,

and I'd like to try to
learn metalbending.

I mean, I'm sure you have

a waiting list or something,
like, a couple years, so...

Let's get started.

I think Lin is mad
about something.

Su, it's time we talk.

After 30 years, you're
finally ready to talk?

When we were in mom's
office that day,

you could have taken
responsibility for what you did,

but instead you stayed quiet

and let mom throw her
whole career away.

Mom didn't throw
her career away.

She retired the next year.
She was a hero.

You think she wanted to retire?

She was so guilt-ridden about
what she did to protect you,

she didn't feel
worthy of her badge.

Look, I admit that I
was not a perfect kid

and I've made some mistakes
in the past, but...

You made some mistakes?

Lin, mom and I already
talked about this years ago

and worked things out.

If you had gotten together
with us like we'd asked,

you would know that I'm
a different person now.

I've been a different
person for a long time.

You think just because you
live in a big, fancy house

and have a chef who
cooks you fancy food

that you're a different person?

Maybe you can fool everyone
else, but you can't fool me.

I see right through you.

You know what, Lin?

You're the one who
hasn't changed.

You're still a bitter loner
who only cares about herself.

No wonder Tenzin ended
things with you years ago.

Okay, I guess this is
how it's going to be.

- Should I stop them?
- You don't have any siblings.

Fighting is all part of
the healing process.

Go, mom!

My sculpture!

Actually, it looks
kind of better now.

You got it out of your system?

Not quite yet!

What are you two doing?
You're sisters!

Why would you want
to hurt each other?

Uh, who's gonna knock?

Oh! No, no, no, no, no, no.

Not me. You're the Avatar. Oh!
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Not me. You're the Avatar.

Why can't you do it?

Uh, I can.

But I just thought that you...

I'll do it.

Uh, chief, you've been
sleeping for 16 hours.

We just wanted to make
sure that you're okay.

Ooh!

Good morning.

What's this?

I call it the Kalenutsco.

It's a mixture of kale,
coconut water, and walnuts.

Not bad.

Opal, don't go.

Please sit down. I
want to talk to you.

Look, I'm just not
really comfortable

talking about these
kinds of things,

and, well...

I wanted to say I'm sorry
about the other night.

It's okay.

Your mother and I have a
complicated relationship and...

it's probably difficult
for you to be here.

You're a smart young woman
and an excellent airbender.

I think it would be a wonderful
opportunity for you to train

with the other airbenders
at the northern air temple.

There's a part of me
that wants to go,

but I don't want
to upset my mom.

When I was younger,

all I wanted to do was
please my mother.

I became a police chief

because I thought it
would make her happy,

but it didn't.

You need to make decisions
based on what you want.

Don't make the same
mistakes I did.

Mom? Dad?

Can I talk to you?

Opal has decided to go to
the northern air temple.

I'm guessing you had something
to do with her decision.

Well, I was just...

it's okay. I'm glad she
was honest with me.

I want her to do what
makes her happy.

Mom gave us too much freedom,

but I feel like I've
made the mistake

of giving Opal too little.

I think it's time I let
her choose her own way.

I'm sorry I gave you such a
hard time when we were younger.

I can't imagine what my
life would've been like

if mom hadn't sent me away,
if I had stayed in the city.

You'd probably be in prison.

You're probably right.

Mako told me that you're
an excellent police chief.

Republic City is
lucky to have you.

I know mom is proud.

Can we move on?

I'd love for you to be a
part of my life again.

There's plenty of space
for you in the house,

and the kids would love
having their aunt around.

I do need a codirector for
my new dance performance.

Whoa. Slow down.

How about for now,
I just promise

not to show up at your house
and att*ck you again?

Deal.

We should have grabbed
one of those cops.

Maybe they know something about
where the Avatar is hiding.

She could be anywhere.

We'll find her.

It's just the matter of time.

She's with the metal clan.
