After success invite Korra to his task force, they began to worked together on a number of Equalist raids on Tarrlok's task force. After encountering Amon on Aang Memorial Island, however, Korra decided to leave the task force.

Tarrlok tried to inviting Korra back at his task force, but Korra always refusing. Afterward, Tarrlok began to harboring negative feelings towards Korra. After the New Team Avatar captured a number of escaped Equalists, Tarrlok confronted the Avatar, telling her to stay out of his way and to let the police handle things. Later, the new Team Avatar confronted Tarrlok as he was trying to arrest a large number of harmless non-benders. The entire team was arrested, except for Korra. Later that night Korra snuck off of Air Temple Island with Naga and headed towards City Hall. Once she arrived, she broke into Tarrlok's office via a window and confronted him. After a brief conversation, Tarrlok launched an attack at Korra, thus prompting her to fight back. The confrontation resulted in the destruction of Tarrlok's office, as well as other parts of City Hall. Right as Korra was about to deliever a strong firebending attack, Tarrlok began to bloodbend the Avatar into submission. Korra was shocked at the fact that Tarrlok could bloodbend without the aid of the full moon, to which Tarrlok replied, "There's a lot you don't know about me." Tarrlok then proceeded to lift Korra into the air via bloodbending and slam her against one of City Hall's interior pillars. As she began to wake up, she found that she was tied-up in the back of a truck, with Tarrlok standing at the door. Tarrlok told Korra that he was taking her somewhere far away, and that she will never see Republic City again.



Tarrlok then proceeded to take her to a cabin away from Republic City and locked her in a box in a basement. After being frustrated about this, Korra meditated until Tarrlok returned, and he informed her that everyone now knew he was a bloodbender. He said that he would start over, but take Korra with him as a hostage. Before he could, however, Amon showed up and took Tarrlok's bending away, and allowed Korra to escape.

Amon
"'You fool! You've never faced bending like mine.' - Tarrlok to Amon in 'Out of the Past'."



As the council, Tarrlok tried to end the Equalists, especially Amon's existence. One day, Amon, the Lieutenant, and some chi blockers encountered Tarrlok as he was about to leave the cabin where he detained Korra. Threatening to take his bending away, Tarrlok laughed at that statement and attempted to bloodbend them all. Albeit successfully subduing all the Equalists, Amon himself was able to remain out of Tarrlok's control. Unable to detain Amon, the masked man easily took away Tarrlok's bending. When asked what he was, due to being able to overcome bloodbending, he replied he was "the solution".
