"Earth." "Fire." "Air." "Water." "Only the Avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world." "What's the big idea with making me train this early in the morning?" "The morning is evil." "so we get the worst time slot in the gym." "And you're the rookiest of us all." "We gotta get you up to speed if we wanna survive in the tournament." "Deal with it." "You deal with it!" "There are my little hard-working street urchins!" "Avatar." "And you are...?" "Butakha." "I run this whole pro-bending shabang." "Here's your winnings from the last match." "not so fast. and a personal loan for groceries." "What?" "I'm a growing boy." "and one more small item of business:" "The Fire Ferrets need to ante up thirty thousand yuans for the championship pot." "Thirty thousand yuans?" "kids. or else you're out of the tournament." "would you?" "I got nothing." "I've never really needed money." "I've always had people taking care of me" "Then I wouldn't say you have nothing." "Sorry I didn't mean... it's alright." "It's just ever since we lost our parents we've been on our own." "I'm so sorry." "I didn't know." "how are we gonna come up with the money?" "I got it." "I got it." "I've been training Pabu to do circus tricks." "Now people would pay money to see that" "Bolin." "We need serious ideas." "I was serious." "Don't worry about it." "I'll figure something out." "I always do." "come all." "upside down!" "buddy." "Stick the landing." "too kind!" "You can come back here and put money right in this... 999 to go." "Bolin." "Is that you?" "Shady Shin." "Heard you're a big time pro-bending player now." "Not bad." "thanks." "So listen." "I got an offer for you." "Lightning Bolt Zolt is looking to hire some extra muscle." "Shin." "Mako told me to stay away from the Triple Threats." "Your brother ain't the boss of you." "It's just a little security work." "Nothing crooked." "You game?" "I'm back!" "Picked up your favorite dumplings!" "Hey I found some work down at the power plant!" "Make some decent money!" "bro?" "I bet the little lovebird is making a house call." "Good." "Light on your feet." "is that the handsome firebender boy that drives you crazy?" "or does he drive you crazy like you like him?" "Mako." "You seen Bolin?" "Nice to see you too." "And no." "I haven't seen him since practice." "Think something's wrong" "I don't know." "Bolin has a knack for getting into stupid situations." "See you later." "Wait." "I could help you look for him." "Nah." "I got it." "lemme help you." "We can take Naga." "Who's Naga?" "My best friend." "And a great tracker." "that makes perfect sense." "city boy." "this is his usual hangout." "You guys seen my brother around here today?" "Perhaps." "My memory's a little... foggy." "Maybe you can help clear it up." "Skoochy." "A real pro." "I've seen him." "When?" "About noon." "What was he doing?" "He was performing some kind of monkeyrat circus." "And then..." "And then what?" "Why did he leave?" "Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash." "Bo took off with him in his hot rod." "The Triple Threats?" "The Red Monsoons?" "The Agni Kais?" "All the triads are muscling up for something real big." "Now that's all you're getting outta me." "What's he talking about?" "Sounds like there's a turf war brewing." "And Bolin's about to get caught right in the middle of it." "So where are we headed?" "The Triple Threat Triad's headquarters." "Hopefully Bolin's there and nothing's gone down yet." "Triple Threat Triad?" "I beat up some of those yahoos when I got into town." "Why would Bolin get tangled up with..." "Naga!" "That's Pabu!" "not a snack." "We gotta hurry." "Something's not right." "There are usually thugs posted out front." "We gotta be cautious." "Bolin?" "You in here?" "Bolin!" "come." "I can't bend." "I can't bend!" "it'll wear off." "Those guys were chi blockers." "They're Amon's henchmen." "Amon?" "That anti-bending guy with a mask?" "he's the leader of the Equalists." "What do they want with the Triple Threats?" "it can't be good." "I can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess!" "we are going to save your brother." "I promise you that." "We've been out all night." "No sign of him." "We've got to keep looking." "But where?" "I have an idea!" "I ran into an Equalist protestor over there." "And you think they'll know where Bolin is?" "It's our only lead right now." "anyway?" "we... we used to do some work for them back in the day." "What!" "?" "Are you some kind of criminal?" "No!" "You don't know what you're talking about." "I just ran numbers for them and stuff." "We were orphans out on the street;" "I did what I had to do to survive and protect my little brother." "I'm sorry." "It must have been really hard." "Can I ask what happened to your parents?" "by a firebender." "He cut them down right in front of me." "I was eight." "Mako..." "Bolin's the only family I have left." "If anything happened to him..." "Equality now!" "Equality now!" "We want equality now!" "Non-benders of Republic City..." "That's the guy." "Amon calls you to action!" "Take back your city!" "It's time for the..." "It's you again!" "Avatar!" "Shut your yapper and listen up." "My friend got kidnapped by some chi blockers." "Where'd they take him?" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "I think you do." "nine o' clock"." "What's this "Revelation"?" "Nothing that concerns the likes of you two." "You better believe it concerns us." "Spill it." "No one knows what the Revelation is!" "And I have no idea what happened to your friend." "then my bet is he's getting what's coming to him." "Where's it happening?" "what's going on over there?" "The Avatar's oppressing us." "Help!" "Let's scram." "Why didn't the Equalists put a location on these? whatever that is." "I bet the information is hidden on here somehow." "Look at the backs." "There's four different images." "it's a puzzle?" "of a map." "Bingo." "That must be where it's going down." "This is the place." "What are you doing?" "We'll attract less attention this way." "This is a private event." "No one gets in without an invitation." "Uh... invitation?" "this one?" "my brother and sister." "but I've never seen so many in one place." "Keep your eyes out for Bolin." "your savior..." "Amon!" "My quest for equality began many years ago." "my family and I lived on a small farm." "and none of us were benders." "This made us very easy targets for the firebender who extorted my father. that firebender took my family from me." "he took my face." "I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since." "the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City." "she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world." "she is wrong." "is suffering." "It has been the cause of every war in every era." "But that is about to change." ""What is the Revelation?" "You are about to get your answer. and they have spoken to me." "They say the Avatar has failed humanity." "That is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance." "They have granted me a power that will make Equality a reality." "The power to take a person's bending away." "Permanently." "That's impossible." "There's no way." "This guy's insane." "for a demonstration." "Please welcome Lightning Bolt Zolt." "Leader of the Triple Threat Triad." "And one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City." "boo yourself!" "There's Bolin." "we can't fight them all." "We need to be smart about this." "Then come up with a game plan "Team Captain"." "Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing non-benders." "But his reign of terror is about to come to an end." "I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending." "pal." "Wha..." "What'd you do to me?" "Your firebending is gone." "Forever." "The era of bending is over." "A new era of Equality has begun." "Any ideas yet?" "see those machines?" "They're powered by water and steam." "I can grab Bolin without anyone seeing." "we duck out of here." "Works for me." "good luck." "too." "It's not enough." "you." "my brother?" "What are you doing back here?" "Uh..." "looking for the bathroom?" "Come on." "Thanks." "This should be enough." "sir." "I think there's been a big misunderstanding." "you all right?" "Yes!" "Mako!" "I love you!" "there's no place in the world for you anymore." "I wouldn't count us out just yet." "Naga!" "Stop..." "I want... to be... on..." "your back... please!" "The Avatar." "That's her!" "Let her go." "She's the perfect messenger to tell the city of my power." "Thank goodness." "I was just about to send out a search party." "Are you all right?" "what happened?" "Did you find your friend?" "I was at an Equalist rally." "I saw Amon." "What?" "He can take people's bending away." "For good." "That's... that's impossible." "Only the Avatar has ever possessed that ability." "But I saw him do it." "I believe you. but this means the revolution is more dangerous than ever." "No bender is safe." "Subtitler:" "LEO33 Thanks Avatar Wikia for the transcript."
