As they come to the bottom, they witness the machines produced by Hiroshi. They are then locked in by a wall made of platinum, something that metalbending cannot control or manipulate. Korra guesses that the informant was nothing more than a setup. Unable to get out, the metalbenders, Lin, Tenzin and Korra are all forced to face Hiroshi and the Equalists; however, the machines play their part in giving the Equalists the advantage. In the meantime, Mako tricks the police officer by purposely sneezing as Bolin secretly throws in a little earthbending to trip the officer. Bolin topples the man, as well as tying him up and Mako enters the factory with his younger brother, leaving Asami behind.

All of the benders in the factory are easily defeated by Hiroshi's mecha tanks. Hiroshi then orders the chi blockers to round up their captives to be brought to Amon. As Mako and Bolin enter and try to save an unconscious Korra, Tenzin, and Lin, they are spotted by Hiroshi and the Lieutenant. Mako accuses Hiroshi of sponsoring the Fire Ferrets and the Avatar just to gain their trust. Hiroshi, using an electrified glove, confirms it and states it broke his heart watching Asami fall for a "firebending street rat" like Mako; then Asami enters. Seeing her disbelief and shock, Hiroshi asks her for forgiveness and tells her of how he is doing this because of the loss of her mother, who had been killed by firebenders. He then gives his daughter a glove and tells her to join him and Amon in making a world a better place, free of benders. As Asami takes up the glove, the Fire Ferrets look up in disbelief and despair. However, Asami, to everyone's surprise, electrocutes her father and the Lieutenant, then helps them escape as the Equalists take notice.

Back on the police airship, Korra tells the two brothers that they and Asami are still welcome to come live on Air Temple Island, a proposition which they now gladly accept. At the same time, Lin tells Tenzin that Tarrlok was right-that she has failed her duty as Chief of the Police Force, and is resigning the next morning. When Tenzin tells her not to give up, she replies that she is going to look for her men 'outside the law', and she hasn't given up. Korra then turns to Mako and tells him to go to Asami, knowing that she needs him. As he does so, she passionately hugs him as the airship slowly approaches the Republic City coastline at night.

** Korra has learned her lesson on romance since "Spirit of Competition," and her accusations {{spoiler|toward Hiroshi}} have absolutely nothing to do with her jealousy toward Asami despite Mako's accusations. She knows she might sacrifice a friendship (and possible romance) for more important matters.

* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: Tarrlok once again fills this role. His opening narration is politically self-serving yet factually accurate: the Equalists ''are'' warring on benders under the guise of fighting for equality and Chief Bei Fong ''did'' utterly fail to protect Republic City during the arena attack.
