WEBVTT

00:19.625 --> 00:20.500
Run!

00:21.083 --> 00:22.958
Get them!
- How many are there?

00:23.458 --> 00:24.666
Five? Six?

00:25.750 --> 00:26.583
Maybe more!

00:26.583 --> 00:28.291
Faster! This way!

00:38.333 --> 00:39.375
After them!

00:51.250 --> 00:52.375
Let's go! Let's go!

00:52.375 --> 00:53.583
Hurry!

00:54.166 --> 00:55.166
They're getting away!

00:55.166 --> 00:56.083
Hurry!

00:57.750 --> 00:59.375
Get them!
Go! Go!

00:59.375 --> 01:00.583
Now we have them!

01:00.583 --> 01:01.875
Over there!

01:07.416 --> 01:09.458
Whoo!

01:09.458 --> 01:10.625
Whoo-hoo!

01:19.333 --> 01:22.708
So... ice discs? That's new!

01:23.750 --> 01:25.625
It's something I saw the Earthbenders do.

01:25.625 --> 01:27.500
Thought I'd try a Waterbender version.

01:27.500 --> 01:29.791
Your bending has gotten really sharp.

01:29.791 --> 01:32.250
I mean, you've been inventing new moves.

01:32.250 --> 01:34.000
That's the mark of a skilled bender.

01:35.875 --> 01:37.750
I have been feeling pretty confident,

01:37.750 --> 01:40.625
but I've learned everything I can
from Gran Gran's scroll,

01:40.625 --> 01:43.750
so what I really need is
to get to the Northern Water Tribe.

01:43.750 --> 01:46.458
Waterbending masters there
will be able to take me to the next level.

01:46.458 --> 01:49.291
We've been running into the Firebenders
a lot more often.

01:49.291 --> 01:51.458
We're getting closer
to the Fire Nation border.

01:51.458 --> 01:52.583
It was bound to happen,

01:53.166 --> 01:55.041
even without
Sokka's tragic dating attempts.

01:55.041 --> 01:57.833
Hey, how was I supposed to know
she was a Fire Nation soldier?

01:58.333 --> 01:59.958
Look, we need to keep our guard up,

01:59.958 --> 02:02.125
at least until we get to the North,
where the--

02:02.916 --> 02:03.791
Aang?

03:14.416 --> 03:15.791
Fire Nation.

03:16.875 --> 03:17.958
Why would they do this?

03:18.708 --> 03:20.041
Why do they do anything?

03:20.541 --> 03:21.791
This is all my fault.

03:22.708 --> 03:25.166
It's the Avatar's job
to protect the natural world.

03:25.166 --> 03:29.666
That's just as important as helping people
and fighting Firebenders.

03:30.916 --> 03:33.500
How many more forests have died
because I wasn't here?

03:33.500 --> 03:35.291
Because I don't know what I'm doing?

04:11.083 --> 04:13.958
Gran Gran says... life is a cycle.

04:15.208 --> 04:18.500
And out of death comes new life.

04:20.041 --> 04:21.833
This will be a forest again.

04:22.750 --> 04:24.041
That's what you should see.

04:28.333 --> 04:30.250
Seeds for the future.

04:32.791 --> 04:34.083
Not past mistakes.

04:47.666 --> 04:48.500
Hey!

04:49.500 --> 04:51.750
No, it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you.

04:53.916 --> 04:54.750
You lost?

04:58.958 --> 04:59.958
Uh,

05:01.416 --> 05:02.583
my name's Sokka.

05:03.375 --> 05:04.375
Rhymes with

05:05.750 --> 05:09.625
"okka" and "wakka wakka."

05:13.333 --> 05:15.416
She looks very brave. She have a name?

05:17.208 --> 05:19.750
Well, maybe we can
come up with one for her.

05:20.458 --> 05:21.791
How about

05:23.500 --> 05:24.833
Pippinpaddle Oppsokopolis?

05:26.291 --> 05:27.250
The third.

05:31.708 --> 05:33.250
Shi-yong made her for me.

05:34.166 --> 05:35.000
Shi-yong?

05:36.333 --> 05:39.583
Is Shi-yong your friend, or is he...

05:39.583 --> 05:41.208
Sokka!

05:42.250 --> 05:43.166
No, wait.

05:49.583 --> 05:50.458
Over there.

05:53.083 --> 05:53.916
There you are.

05:54.666 --> 05:57.041
You know better
than to wander off by yourself.

05:57.541 --> 05:59.000
Hey, she... she dropped this.

06:02.000 --> 06:03.708
We're not here to cause trouble. We...

06:04.666 --> 06:06.083
She was just scared.

06:13.500 --> 06:15.958
Something bad happened here, didn't it?

06:17.583 --> 06:19.125
Please forgive my manners.

06:20.208 --> 06:22.583
- Thank you for helping my daughter.
- No need to apologize.

06:22.583 --> 06:25.875
Living this close to the Fire Nation
means you've gotta stay on your guard.

06:25.875 --> 06:28.583
Yes. We have seen our share of war.

06:30.000 --> 06:32.541
Was that how the forest was destroyed?
A battle?

06:32.541 --> 06:33.708
No.

06:33.708 --> 06:37.583
The Firebenders just wanted a clear path
as they moved through the mountains.

06:38.625 --> 06:40.583
And that's why
they burned down the forest?

06:41.291 --> 06:44.375
But after the fire,
strange things started happening.

06:45.291 --> 06:48.000
Our crops started dying.
Our... our animals stopped grazing.

06:48.000 --> 06:51.291
It... it's almost as if the land itself
had gotten sick.

06:52.625 --> 06:55.791
A few days ago, we sent out an expedition
to search for food.

06:56.500 --> 06:57.625
And they never came back.

07:01.166 --> 07:02.625
My son, Shi-yong,

07:04.375 --> 07:05.375
he was with them.

07:07.583 --> 07:09.708
We know what it is like to live in fear.

07:10.208 --> 07:13.166
But this, this is something deeper.

07:14.708 --> 07:15.708
It's something

07:17.083 --> 07:18.166
beyond this world.

07:26.791 --> 07:30.166
You're right.
Your people are beyond this world.

07:31.333 --> 07:33.500
But I can get them back.

07:39.958 --> 07:40.791
Any news?

07:41.291 --> 07:42.250
No, sir.

07:42.833 --> 07:43.750
Nothing?

07:43.750 --> 07:46.833
How many places can there be
for a giant sky bison to hide?

07:47.583 --> 07:49.583
- And no reports of anything unusual?
- None.

07:51.083 --> 07:51.916
Except...

07:53.125 --> 07:54.250
Except what?

07:55.166 --> 07:57.416
One of the resupply merchants
mentioned something about

07:57.416 --> 07:59.958
kids playing with ice blocks
near Senlin Pass,

07:59.958 --> 08:01.750
but he was probably mistaken.

08:03.791 --> 08:06.041
So someone saw ice

08:06.041 --> 08:08.791
in a place where no ice should exist?

08:10.416 --> 08:14.541
Most people would call that unusual,
wouldn't they, Lieutenant Jee?

08:14.541 --> 08:16.333
Unless they were an idiot.

08:22.208 --> 08:26.083
I'll send some men to investigate.
No, I'll have to do it myself.

08:26.083 --> 08:27.208
As always.

08:34.375 --> 08:36.375
Commander Zhao is very impressive...

08:38.666 --> 08:41.916
working with no support
in a forgotten little corner of the world,

08:41.916 --> 08:44.833
and yet he found the Avatar.

08:49.500 --> 08:52.458
I've always admired
how you manage your commanders.

08:52.958 --> 08:56.333
You always seem to know
how to get the most out of their talents.

08:59.208 --> 09:00.208
Now,

09:01.625 --> 09:02.791
if it were me,

09:04.166 --> 09:06.166
I'd send more resources to Zhao.

09:07.416 --> 09:09.541
See what he can do with a little support.

09:11.708 --> 09:13.791
"Water the most promising seeds."

09:15.000 --> 09:16.125
You taught me that.

09:20.083 --> 09:21.375
You may be right.

09:23.666 --> 09:26.291
Tell Colonel Shinu
to mobilize the archers.

09:27.250 --> 09:30.500
And alert the chancellor
I'll be redirecting some funds.

09:33.625 --> 09:34.583
And, Azula...

09:37.500 --> 09:40.000
Zhao didn't discover the Avatar. Zuko did.

09:41.000 --> 09:44.875
He's the one who displayed
resilience and dedication.

09:45.625 --> 09:47.750
That's what I expect from a future heir.

09:49.083 --> 09:52.125
Not self-serving flattery
and coy whispers.

10:07.333 --> 10:10.166
The world we live in
isn't the only world there is.

10:10.166 --> 10:12.458
There's another realm beyond ours.

10:13.208 --> 10:14.166
The Spirit World.

10:15.250 --> 10:17.041
Usually, the two remain separate,

10:17.041 --> 10:19.833
but there are places
where the barrier between them is thin.

10:20.875 --> 10:23.666
So you think the forest
is one of these thin places?

10:23.666 --> 10:24.916
I don't think it.

10:24.916 --> 10:26.041
I feel it.

10:26.708 --> 10:29.208
And I believe the fires
weaken the barrier even more.

10:29.958 --> 10:33.250
The Avatar is the bridge between
the natural world and the Spirit World,

10:33.250 --> 10:35.541
and I can feel how close the two are.

10:36.666 --> 10:38.875
It's like ice that's started to crack.

10:39.666 --> 10:44.708
So you're gonna hop into the Spirit World,
grab the lost folks, and hop back.

10:45.750 --> 10:47.333
Something like that. Yeah.

10:49.125 --> 10:51.708
You sounded a lot more confident before.

10:51.708 --> 10:55.166
Because all of this is my responsibility.

10:56.000 --> 10:59.166
Yes, I need to get to the North
so I can save the Waterbenders,

10:59.875 --> 11:02.041
but I also need to help these people

11:02.041 --> 11:04.666
so they don't lose their homes
and the ones they love

11:06.583 --> 11:07.791
the way I lost mine.

11:10.416 --> 11:12.833
It's impossible for you to do everything.

11:13.625 --> 11:17.458
It's like Bumi said,
"The Avatar has to do the impossible."

11:22.208 --> 11:25.583
I need to find where
the spiritual energies are strongest.

11:26.416 --> 11:27.458
And where's that?

11:28.041 --> 11:29.541
I'll know it when I find it.

11:30.416 --> 11:32.250
You almost said something specific.

11:39.041 --> 11:40.125
Katara?

11:41.083 --> 11:42.000
Aang?

11:58.791 --> 12:01.958
A shrine
to the spirit of the forest.

12:03.458 --> 12:04.541
This is the place.

12:12.458 --> 12:14.791
So what do we do?

12:15.916 --> 12:16.833
We watch over Aang.

12:18.000 --> 12:20.833
Once his spirit crosses over,
his body will be vulnerable.

12:20.833 --> 12:22.208
We need to protect him.

12:22.708 --> 12:23.541
Oh.

12:24.625 --> 12:26.166
And how will we know that this works?

12:29.208 --> 12:30.041
I'm not sure.

12:32.000 --> 12:34.750
- I'm getting hungry.
- Hey, do you mind?

12:35.333 --> 12:37.166
I'm trying to concentrate here.

12:40.333 --> 12:43.875
Sh.

13:19.208 --> 13:21.750
Sokka, I think it worked.

13:29.833 --> 13:30.708
Katara?

13:37.666 --> 13:38.500
Ah!

13:39.208 --> 13:41.625
- What is happening?
- I don't know! Aang?

13:41.625 --> 13:46.083
I've separated my spirit from my body,
but somehow, I brought you guys with me.

13:46.083 --> 13:47.125
How is that possible?

13:47.875 --> 13:49.958
Must be the energies in the place

13:49.958 --> 13:52.041
and the thinness of the barrier
and my power.

13:54.916 --> 13:58.041
Well, get us back! Get us back now!

13:58.041 --> 13:59.583
I'm... I'm sorry.

14:05.666 --> 14:06.583
Uh...

14:09.250 --> 14:10.791
We're in the Spirit World.

14:15.125 --> 14:17.833
Don't mention the Avatar.
We can't let word get out.

14:18.333 --> 14:20.791
Agreed. And we should tread lightly.

14:21.750 --> 14:23.750
The Fire Nation
may control this territory,

14:23.750 --> 14:25.875
but it's still Earthbender country.

14:25.875 --> 14:29.208
- We don't want to cause trouble.
- When have I ever caused trouble?

14:32.750 --> 14:33.916
When, indeed.

14:48.791 --> 14:50.708
They're Fire Nation. Look at them.

14:50.708 --> 14:52.041
Look at their garments.

14:56.750 --> 14:59.875
I heard Waterbenders might've been
around these parts not long ago.

14:59.875 --> 15:02.541
- Did you see them?
- No.

15:03.291 --> 15:06.291
- But you remember hearing about them.
- Sort of.

15:14.083 --> 15:18.041
Perhaps this... will help.

15:19.916 --> 15:20.750
Now,

15:22.041 --> 15:24.000
did you see the Waterbenders?

15:25.958 --> 15:27.125
No.

15:29.916 --> 15:33.000
But I heard the Avatar might be traveling
with some Waterbenders.

15:34.375 --> 15:35.916
What did you say?
The Avatar.

15:35.916 --> 15:37.708
He's with some Waterbenders.

15:37.708 --> 15:39.250
Isn't that right, Muki?

15:40.208 --> 15:42.833
What? The Avatar?
That's what those pirates said.

15:42.833 --> 15:45.750
No, it wasn't the pirates.
It was that canyon guide.

15:45.750 --> 15:48.375
He said the Avatar
fought off some canyon crawlers

15:48.375 --> 15:50.250
with the help of a couple Waterbenders.

15:50.250 --> 15:53.125
Was he the one who told us about
how they stopped the volcano...

15:53.125 --> 15:55.041
It seems they've heard about the Avatar.

15:55.041 --> 15:57.833
Right after they fought
the mad King of Omashu.

16:02.416 --> 16:05.083
I'm gonna lose him.
I'm gonna lose everything!

16:07.291 --> 16:10.375
If word has gotten to this backwoods hole,
that means everyone knows.

16:10.375 --> 16:13.250
Everyone in the Earth Kingdom.
Everyone in the Fire Nation.

16:13.833 --> 16:17.208
The hunters will be out.
There's blood in the water now.

16:19.333 --> 16:21.208
Help me! She's crazy!

16:43.791 --> 16:45.625
Don't die, you idiot.

16:46.375 --> 16:48.166
I only get half if you die.

16:51.208 --> 16:52.666
What are you looking at?

16:52.666 --> 16:54.583
A low-life bounty hunter.

16:55.875 --> 16:58.625
Low-life? Big talk for a little boy.

17:03.750 --> 17:06.083
I'll let it pass
'cause your dad's kinda cute.

17:11.125 --> 17:13.958
Should've known they would've let
mercenaries run wild here.

17:21.875 --> 17:24.708
Gyatso used to tell me that
the Spirit World and the physical world

17:24.708 --> 17:25.791
are tied together.

17:25.791 --> 17:30.166
What happens to one affects the other.
It's kinda like your soul and your body.

17:30.833 --> 17:32.208
Separate but connected.

17:33.041 --> 17:34.333
That makes sense.

17:34.333 --> 17:37.250
Gyatso had a way
of making things easy to understand.

17:38.125 --> 17:39.541
He made everything easy.

17:41.333 --> 17:42.375
He sounds amazing.

17:43.083 --> 17:44.000
He was.

17:44.791 --> 17:48.250
You know, I've always felt
I was a spiritually-attuned person.

17:48.250 --> 17:51.625
- Might be why I crossed over with you.
- Is that a frog or a froggy thing?

17:52.916 --> 17:55.000
I have no idea how he got in here.

17:55.541 --> 17:58.458
The villagers are probably trying
to find a way out.

17:58.458 --> 18:00.958
They're probably looking
for something familiar.

18:01.791 --> 18:03.625
Assuming they realize
they don't belong in here.

18:03.625 --> 18:06.208
None of you belong in here.

18:06.833 --> 18:07.958
Uh, who said that?

18:08.666 --> 18:09.541
Who said what?

18:09.541 --> 18:13.958
No human belongs in this realm.

18:16.708 --> 18:18.250
That is one big birdie.

18:18.250 --> 18:19.500
"Birdie"?

18:19.500 --> 18:21.375
I am no birdie.

18:21.375 --> 18:25.083
I am the spirit of knowledge itself.

18:25.083 --> 18:28.208
Please excuse Sokka.
He didn't mean anything.

18:28.208 --> 18:30.958
- Aang, who are you talking to?
- What do you mean?

18:30.958 --> 18:33.500
They do not hear what you hear.

18:39.041 --> 18:43.333
Their small minds are incapable
of comprehending my speech.

18:43.333 --> 18:44.791
But I hear you.

18:44.791 --> 18:46.500
You are the Avatar.

18:46.500 --> 18:49.250
You were meant
to have one foot in this world.

18:49.250 --> 18:52.083
They, however, are interlopers.

18:52.083 --> 18:54.583
And the longer they stay,

18:54.583 --> 18:57.833
the more dangerous
it will become for them.

18:57.833 --> 18:58.750
Dangerous?

18:59.333 --> 19:00.291
Dangerous?

19:00.291 --> 19:02.333
The birdie's not gonna eat us, is it?

19:02.333 --> 19:05.000
That should be the least of his worries.

19:05.000 --> 19:08.791
There are creatures in here
that will do far more

19:08.791 --> 19:10.791
than devour your body.

19:10.791 --> 19:13.166
They'll eat your soul.

19:13.166 --> 19:14.708
Aang? What's he saying?

19:14.708 --> 19:16.625
He says he's not gonna hurt us.

19:17.500 --> 19:19.208
All we want is
to find our missing friends,

19:19.208 --> 19:20.541
and we'll get out of here.

19:22.416 --> 19:27.125
There is one who lives in a stone hut
not far beyond the woods.

19:27.125 --> 19:30.583
He may know what's become of your friends.

19:30.583 --> 19:33.000
Follow the path, and you will find him.

19:33.000 --> 19:36.500
Wait. Wait.
What did you mean about danger?

19:36.500 --> 19:38.125
What could happen to them?

19:39.416 --> 19:43.750
There are things in here
that will reveal truths to humans.

19:43.750 --> 19:46.916
Truths they're never prepared to face.

19:46.916 --> 19:50.916
It will show them who they really are,

19:50.916 --> 19:54.416
and that can cause a great deal of pain.

19:55.125 --> 19:57.125
Farewell, Avatar,

19:57.833 --> 20:01.333
and remember, stay on the path.

20:05.250 --> 20:06.333
Bye-bye, Birdie.

20:07.250 --> 20:08.708
That's enough.

20:09.333 --> 20:12.291
The lesson is over, Your Highness.

20:12.291 --> 20:13.375
Azula!

20:14.458 --> 20:15.666
Azula!

20:17.916 --> 20:18.916
Azula!

20:25.083 --> 20:27.750
Are you okay?
Here, let me help you.

20:28.375 --> 20:29.416
Um,

20:29.416 --> 20:30.750
that was intense.

20:30.750 --> 20:31.666
Yeah.

20:34.875 --> 20:36.833
- You could've hurt him.
- That's his fault.

20:37.375 --> 20:38.458
He should've been better.

20:38.458 --> 20:41.416
Except this wasn't about the trainer...
was it?

20:47.041 --> 20:49.208
Azula, you're the best.

20:49.791 --> 20:51.291
Everybody knows that.

20:52.416 --> 20:53.500
You're perfect.

20:54.375 --> 20:55.750
That's not good enough.

21:00.833 --> 21:02.458
There you are. Where have you been?

21:02.458 --> 21:06.125
Apologies. I got distracted
watching a game of Pai Sho.

21:06.125 --> 21:09.333
The street players in these parts
are quite good.

21:09.333 --> 21:10.916
I'm sure they are. Now let's go.

21:10.916 --> 21:15.250
They didn't follow the expected tactics,
but that was their strength.

21:15.250 --> 21:19.250
Uncle, is there any chance
you could finish this story on the boat?

21:19.250 --> 21:23.083
Prince Zuko, there is much you can learn
from these Pai Sho players.

21:23.791 --> 21:28.500
They are untrained, but that only means
their minds are open to new ideas.

21:29.125 --> 21:32.208
And so they are ready
when a solution reveals itself.

21:38.416 --> 21:39.375
No!

21:39.375 --> 21:43.416
June is the best at what she does,
and that's finding people.

21:43.416 --> 21:46.250
She's a mercenary.
Her loyalty is bought and sold.

21:46.250 --> 21:48.000
How can you trust someone like that?

21:48.000 --> 21:49.916
June is a professional.

21:49.916 --> 21:53.916
If she fails, she doesn't get paid,
and she doesn't eat.

21:59.291 --> 22:02.708
Prince Zuko,
I know you have always believed

22:02.708 --> 22:05.958
there is a right and a wrong way
of doing things.

22:05.958 --> 22:07.916
It is a mark of a great leader,

22:08.833 --> 22:11.333
but the rules are different out here.

22:12.416 --> 22:14.000
Commander Zhao knows this,

22:14.541 --> 22:19.291
and he's already making moves
while we have yet to draw our tiles.

22:27.583 --> 22:30.625
So... tell me about this Avatar.

22:39.166 --> 22:40.166
Um...

22:48.791 --> 22:50.250
- Oh, did you see that?
- See what?

22:50.250 --> 22:51.666
Did you see... that?

22:53.125 --> 22:54.333
Sokka, relax.

22:54.333 --> 22:57.208
The owl said we'd be fine
as long as we stuck to the path.

22:57.208 --> 22:58.208
Right, Aang?

22:59.125 --> 22:59.958
Right.

23:00.833 --> 23:03.750
Aang? What did the owl really say?

23:05.833 --> 23:08.000
He said it could be dangerous
for you guys in here.

23:09.083 --> 23:11.500
That you might have to face the truth.

23:13.791 --> 23:17.208
But how bad could the truth be, right?

23:18.458 --> 23:19.500
Right.

23:20.833 --> 23:22.083
Right?

23:22.083 --> 23:23.166
The truth.

23:24.208 --> 23:25.125
Yeah.

23:25.916 --> 23:27.583
Yeah, I can deal with the truth.

23:28.083 --> 23:31.916
What I can't deal with is getting eaten
by some giant spirit monster.

23:34.541 --> 23:37.791
You had to say something.

23:45.083 --> 23:48.541
Aang, please tell me that's some
spirit language only you can understand,

23:48.541 --> 23:51.666
and it's saying, "Welcome, friends,
would you like some cake?"

23:51.666 --> 23:53.416
That's not what it's saying.

23:56.916 --> 23:58.166
Just stay on the path.

23:58.166 --> 24:01.416
The owl said it'd be okay
as long as we stay on the path.

24:01.416 --> 24:04.291
We're on the path. We're on the path.

24:04.291 --> 24:06.125
We're on the path! We're on the path!

24:06.125 --> 24:07.500
Get off the path!

24:20.166 --> 24:21.958
It's the spirit of the forest.

24:22.625 --> 24:24.041
It's wounded.

24:28.583 --> 24:31.375
I can't bend. I can't bend!

24:31.375 --> 24:32.416
I can't either.

24:32.416 --> 24:33.416
Look out!

24:43.375 --> 24:46.208
Hey, skunky! Why don't you pick on
someone your own size?

24:49.916 --> 24:51.458
I... I didn't mean me.

24:54.041 --> 24:57.041
- Sokka!
- Everyone, run!

25:17.208 --> 25:18.083
Pain.

25:19.375 --> 25:20.333
Pain.

25:21.375 --> 25:23.000
So much pain.

25:24.750 --> 25:26.458
Actually, they're just scratches.

25:26.458 --> 25:28.833
Not you. Hei Bai.

25:30.291 --> 25:31.166
Hey, what?

25:31.166 --> 25:33.416
Hei Bai. That spirit.

25:34.000 --> 25:35.333
It's in a lot of pain.

25:36.666 --> 25:38.458
I must've landed harder than I thought.

25:39.500 --> 25:40.875
I'm a little discombobulated.

25:43.041 --> 25:43.916
You're funny.

25:43.916 --> 25:45.875
And you're a talking fox.

25:47.166 --> 25:49.250
Then again,
not the craziest thing I've seen today.

25:52.750 --> 25:55.583
I need to get to my friends
before they get eaten by that monster.

25:55.583 --> 25:57.708
It's not a monster. It's hurt.

25:58.375 --> 25:59.750
That's what pain does to you.

25:59.750 --> 26:02.000
It changes you
into something that you're not.

26:02.500 --> 26:04.375
Don't you know what it's like to be hurt?

26:06.708 --> 26:09.833
Well, these scratches
are making me pretty irritable, so...

26:09.833 --> 26:13.375
Do you always make jokes
when you don't wanna talk about something?

26:14.000 --> 26:15.416
What? That's not what I do.

26:16.125 --> 26:20.333
You should go.
I hope you can "recombobulate."

26:26.500 --> 26:27.708
Spirit World.

26:29.541 --> 26:31.333
Oh, and be careful.

26:32.291 --> 26:35.625
The fog can be... dangerous.

26:36.833 --> 26:37.750
Sokka?

26:39.083 --> 26:40.000
Aang?

26:49.416 --> 26:50.625
Aang?

27:27.291 --> 27:28.291
Katara.

27:35.500 --> 27:36.875
Mom?
There you are.

27:36.875 --> 27:39.041
I've been looking all over for you.

27:42.750 --> 27:43.750
This can't be.

27:45.208 --> 27:47.250
Is it really you?
What?

27:52.750 --> 27:54.583
Katara, are you okay?

27:59.333 --> 28:01.000
It's just been so long.

28:07.375 --> 28:09.125
Come on. We're late.

28:15.666 --> 28:18.708
I'm telling you, four strands is stronger.

28:18.708 --> 28:20.916
I didn't say it wasn't stronger.

28:20.916 --> 28:22.583
I said it was a waste.

28:24.000 --> 28:25.750
Katara, you're not braiding.

28:25.750 --> 28:28.083
You know I was never good at this.

28:29.333 --> 28:31.041
Sokka used to tease me about...

28:33.875 --> 28:34.916
Where's Sokka?

28:34.916 --> 28:37.833
He and your father should be back
from their fishing expedition soon.

28:46.208 --> 28:48.000
Katara...

28:59.250 --> 29:00.458
I can't bend.

29:01.083 --> 29:03.208
You will. I know it.

29:04.458 --> 29:09.208
Someday, you are gonna show the world
just how powerful you are.

29:10.833 --> 29:12.458
You will protect all of us.

29:20.583 --> 29:22.833
Fire Nation! Run!

29:24.458 --> 29:25.291
Hide her.

29:55.291 --> 29:57.375
Find the Waterbender!
Go!

30:08.125 --> 30:10.291
Katara, we have to get inside now!

30:10.291 --> 30:11.666
No, I'm not going in there!

30:23.083 --> 30:24.083
Hide.

30:24.708 --> 30:26.541
And whatever you do, don't come out.

30:31.458 --> 30:35.250
Where's the Waterbender?
We know you have one in the village.

30:35.250 --> 30:38.833
All the Waterbenders are gone or dead
because of you.

30:39.333 --> 30:40.166
You're lying.

30:41.541 --> 30:42.958
Turn the bender over.

30:46.375 --> 30:47.666
Or die.

31:30.625 --> 31:32.000
Wait!

31:32.875 --> 31:33.708
It's me.

31:34.541 --> 31:36.083
I'm the Waterbender.

32:01.916 --> 32:04.416
So much fear.

32:05.416 --> 32:08.208
So much despair.

32:20.208 --> 32:21.333
Ooh.

32:22.625 --> 32:25.083
Spirit World. More like mud world.

32:27.375 --> 32:29.625
It smells like Appa after a rainstorm.

32:39.458 --> 32:41.041
Well, that doesn't seem right.

32:57.250 --> 32:58.416
Dad?

33:03.583 --> 33:06.416
The spirits of water
bear witness to this mark.

33:07.041 --> 33:11.375
For the strength and leadership
displayed during his ice-dodging trials,

33:12.208 --> 33:14.041
I grant this Mark of the Wise...

33:16.500 --> 33:17.708
to Sokka.

33:17.708 --> 33:19.250
To my son.

33:19.250 --> 33:20.291
Huh!

33:23.000 --> 33:25.416
This is the day of my ice-dodging trials.

33:25.416 --> 33:28.166
This is the day
you passed your ice-dodging trials.

33:29.041 --> 33:31.625
Just as the warriors in our family
always have.

33:31.625 --> 33:34.250
You did make it exciting though.

33:36.416 --> 33:37.250
Bato!

33:38.125 --> 33:41.083
You were cutting it a little close
around those icebergs, weren't ya?

33:44.958 --> 33:46.583
Yeah, that's right. I lost control.

33:46.583 --> 33:47.791
I...

33:47.791 --> 33:49.375
I didn't know what to do.

33:49.916 --> 33:52.875
If you hadn't have been on the boat
and stepped in...

33:53.708 --> 33:55.333
We all came through in one piece.

33:55.333 --> 33:57.375
That's all that matters. Right, Hakoda?

33:59.916 --> 34:03.583
Yes, that's right,
and selecting the right crew

34:03.583 --> 34:05.583
is part of being a wise leader.

34:05.583 --> 34:08.208
It's why we do the trials
with help from our friends.

34:09.500 --> 34:10.583
You see?

34:10.583 --> 34:13.125
Why don't you go find your sister?
And we can all celebrate.

34:22.458 --> 34:23.750
Hey, Sokka.

34:23.750 --> 34:26.833
We just saw your ice-dodging cutter
or what remains of it.

34:27.583 --> 34:29.041
If this is how you pass a test,

34:29.041 --> 34:31.500
I'd hate to see
what you do to a boat when you fail.

34:33.791 --> 34:34.958
What a joke.

34:35.750 --> 34:38.125
I didn't think
he'd get in trouble that quickly.

34:38.791 --> 34:41.083
If it weren't for you,
Sokka would have wrecked us.

34:42.000 --> 34:43.208
We're lucky to be alive.

34:43.208 --> 34:46.208
It was tricky. Even I only saw
the breakers at the last second.

34:46.208 --> 34:48.750
You don't have to make excuses for him.

34:50.541 --> 34:51.541
I'd hoped,

34:52.791 --> 34:55.250
when he really had to prove himself,
that he'd do...

34:57.291 --> 34:58.125
better.

35:02.291 --> 35:07.041
The truth is, not everyone is meant
to have people's lives in their hands.

35:34.583 --> 35:37.291
Give in to your despair.

35:45.041 --> 35:46.291
Katara!

35:47.000 --> 35:48.000
Sokka!

36:07.375 --> 36:08.291
Home.

36:13.708 --> 36:14.791
It isn't real.

36:15.375 --> 36:16.375
It isn't real.

36:29.625 --> 36:30.875
What have we here?

36:31.375 --> 36:33.125
Someone who can resist?

36:33.750 --> 36:35.333
That can't be possible.

36:35.875 --> 36:36.916
Unless...

36:37.458 --> 36:39.958
Ah, of course.

36:41.000 --> 36:45.083
It's my old friend, the Avatar.

36:45.666 --> 36:47.500
Do I know you?

36:47.500 --> 36:49.250
I should say so.

36:49.250 --> 36:53.541
One of your previous incarnations
tried to slay me.

36:53.541 --> 36:55.958
Why would I try to kill you?

36:55.958 --> 37:01.541
Oh, it was something about
stealing the face of someone you loved.

37:01.541 --> 37:04.250
But you know all about stealing,
don't you?

37:04.958 --> 37:09.875
Perhaps you've come
to return what you stole from me.

37:09.875 --> 37:14.125
I don't know what you're talking about.
All I want is to find my friends.

37:18.750 --> 37:20.875
Your friends?

37:20.875 --> 37:26.375
Now, why would I let you
play with my food?

38:05.125 --> 38:06.250
Hello?

38:08.916 --> 38:09.791
Aang?

38:11.125 --> 38:12.541
Gyatso?

38:12.541 --> 38:14.541
Aang!

38:14.541 --> 38:17.375
You finally made it!

38:21.833 --> 38:25.333
This isn't... this isn't real.
It can't be. It's another trick.

38:25.333 --> 38:27.041
It's another illusion.

38:27.041 --> 38:31.000
I know it's hard to believe,
but... it's really me.

38:32.041 --> 38:36.125
There are lots of Illusions here,
but you've emerged from the fog.

38:36.125 --> 38:37.833
This is real.

38:39.166 --> 38:40.166
Recognize this?

38:41.208 --> 38:43.000
One of the last games we played.

38:49.208 --> 38:50.250
Hey!

38:53.000 --> 38:53.875
Ah.

38:55.375 --> 38:56.375
Your turn.

39:00.416 --> 39:01.458
Cheater.

39:17.541 --> 39:19.333
I can't believe it's really you.

39:20.791 --> 39:22.166
How is this possible?

39:22.166 --> 39:25.000
How are you... here?

39:25.000 --> 39:26.708
Ah. Well...

39:29.500 --> 39:33.541
after you left the Southern Air Temple,
the Firebenders attacked.

39:34.166 --> 39:36.541
It was sudden and swift.

39:37.708 --> 39:40.500
Most who perished
moved on in the Great Cycle.

39:41.250 --> 39:44.083
I chose a different path.

39:45.333 --> 39:48.541
You chose not to move on
to the next stage of enlightenment?

39:48.541 --> 39:49.833
Why?

39:49.833 --> 39:50.958
Because

39:52.291 --> 39:54.250
I knew you would need me.

39:54.250 --> 39:55.708
I do need you.

39:56.666 --> 39:59.541
I'm supposed to be the Avatar,
and everyone is counting on me,

40:00.583 --> 40:03.750
except I don't know what I'm doing.

40:05.333 --> 40:06.833
But now you're here.

40:06.833 --> 40:09.291
Aang, I can't tell you
how to be the Avatar.

40:09.291 --> 40:11.000
Of course you can.

40:12.791 --> 40:16.166
Avatar Kyoshi told me
that I need to get to the North

40:16.166 --> 40:18.458
to prevent a great tragedy from happening.

40:19.041 --> 40:22.000
Except... I don't know how.

40:23.125 --> 40:24.666
I don't know anything.

40:24.666 --> 40:27.333
You know a lot more than you think.
I doubt that.

40:27.333 --> 40:30.166
I mean, how am I supposed
to save the world

40:30.166 --> 40:31.541
if I can't even save...

40:34.458 --> 40:35.625
my friends?

40:35.625 --> 40:37.083
They're somewhere in the fog.

40:37.083 --> 40:38.000
Ah.

40:39.875 --> 40:42.750
That is the Fog of Lost Souls.

40:43.333 --> 40:47.291
A place that imprisons people
in their darkest memories,

40:47.291 --> 40:52.500
and it is the hunting ground for Koh,
the face stealer.

40:52.500 --> 40:56.416
He preys on those
paralyzed by despair and doubt.

40:57.333 --> 41:01.041
He must have the villagers too.
The ones we came to rescue.

41:02.375 --> 41:04.875
<i>Koh will have taken them to his lair.</i>

41:06.083 --> 41:09.708
<i>Koh will hold them there
until he's ready to feed.</i>

41:11.083 --> 41:12.250
<i>When that happens,</i>

41:13.208 --> 41:15.208
<i>their souls will be lost forever.</i>

41:18.625 --> 41:19.750
I have to save them!

41:19.750 --> 41:22.750
Koh is a primal spirit,

41:22.750 --> 41:25.583
a dangerous and ruthless predator.

41:26.333 --> 41:28.291
There is no way to defeat him.

41:28.291 --> 41:29.541
I have to try.

41:30.250 --> 41:31.708
I have to do something.

41:33.500 --> 41:34.375
Koh.

41:36.083 --> 41:37.500
He said that he knew me.

41:37.500 --> 41:39.750
That I've taken something from him.

41:39.750 --> 41:43.750
It's true. Previous Avatars
have tangled with Koh.

41:44.708 --> 41:48.541
It's said Roku once
even got the best of the spirit,

41:49.125 --> 41:50.916
but nobody knows exactly what happened.

41:50.916 --> 41:51.958
Okay.

41:51.958 --> 41:54.250
Then... I need to talk to Roku.

41:55.000 --> 41:57.458
I've contacted Avatar Kyoshi
at her shrine.

41:57.458 --> 41:58.875
I can do the same with Roku.

41:58.875 --> 42:01.916
Except Roku's temple
is in the Fire Nation.

42:01.916 --> 42:04.833
- It'll be a dangerous journey.
- I don't have a choice.

42:06.000 --> 42:06.833
I'll be back.

42:09.041 --> 42:09.875
Aang!

42:12.291 --> 42:14.250
There's something I need to tell you.

42:15.625 --> 42:21.458
You... couldn't have done anything...
if you'd stayed with us.

42:23.208 --> 42:25.708
You couldn't have stopped the Fire Nation.

42:27.166 --> 42:29.291
You couldn't have prevented the war.

42:30.666 --> 42:33.583
You would have just died
along with everyone else.

42:34.958 --> 42:37.416
It's not your fault.

42:39.291 --> 42:41.291
So... let go.

42:49.083 --> 42:51.541
Can we talk about it when I get back?

42:54.958 --> 42:55.875
Of course.

42:57.541 --> 43:00.333
You should hurry.
Koh will feed again before too long.

43:00.333 --> 43:04.541
Right. Once I save my friends,
we'll have more time.

43:19.791 --> 43:20.666
Time.

43:21.708 --> 43:23.625
Time is a funny thing.

43:24.416 --> 43:26.208
The past, the future,

43:26.958 --> 43:28.666
it all gets mixed up.

43:32.291 --> 43:34.958
<i>There's only one way to keep it straight.</i>

43:36.250 --> 43:39.625
<i>It's by remembering what really matters.</i>

43:51.166 --> 43:53.291
I hope
you can help me, Avatar Roku.

43:58.958 --> 44:01.833
I know you're in pain. I saw your spirit.

44:15.416 --> 44:18.750
I'm gonna make this right,
and I'm gonna save my friends.

44:19.416 --> 44:20.333
I promise.

44:25.625 --> 44:28.708
Sorry, buddy. You can't come this time.

44:28.708 --> 44:30.458
You too, Momo.

44:33.125 --> 44:34.250
It's too dangerous.

44:38.541 --> 44:40.458
Keep them safe for me, okay?

44:45.708 --> 44:50.541
<i>Of course, keeping sight
of what's important can be hard.</i>

44:52.791 --> 44:57.000
<i>Sometimes it feels like
we'll always be alone.</i>

45:00.500 --> 45:05.208
<i>And the only thing
keeping us company is our own pain.</i>

45:16.750 --> 45:19.000
<i>We tell ourselves
we are the problem.</i>

45:23.416 --> 45:27.458
<i>Especially when things
we can't control come our way.</i>

45:39.875 --> 45:43.250
<i>That's why we must let go
of our pain and regret</i>

45:45.416 --> 45:49.875
<i>and remember what it is
we're really fighting for.</i>

45:51.625 --> 45:54.250
<i>The ones we love.</i>

45:56.541 --> 46:00.958
<i>Let that be the light that guides you
through the most treacherous of times...</i>

46:06.250 --> 46:08.583
<i>and the darkest of nights.</i>
