WEBVTT
00:17.916 --> 00:20.666
We spend so much time
hiding who we really are,
00:21.166 --> 00:24.208
making sure no one sees
the person we truly want to be.
00:25.000 --> 00:27.541
So it's hard to remember there was a time
00:27.541 --> 00:32.708
when we were truly excited
to show the world our true face.
00:33.541 --> 00:34.541
Very impressive.
00:36.291 --> 00:38.125
That uniform suits you well.
00:38.625 --> 00:41.625
Does it look right?
I had trouble with the shoulder guards.
00:44.375 --> 00:45.833
There. Perfect.
00:48.208 --> 00:49.708
- What... what is it?
- Nothing.
00:49.708 --> 00:50.833
Tell me.
00:51.458 --> 00:54.708
Your gauntlets are laced
incorrectly, but no one will notice.
00:54.708 --> 00:55.916
What? Help me fix it!
00:58.333 --> 01:00.666
I remember
my first war council meeting.
01:00.666 --> 01:03.541
They were smaller affairs back then.
More private.
01:04.208 --> 01:07.250
Ozai, however, seems to enjoy
having an audience.
01:07.250 --> 01:09.416
Father says
he welcomes different opinions.
01:09.416 --> 01:14.083
I'd advise against testing that.
Best to observe and learn for now.
01:16.750 --> 01:17.750
There.
01:21.541 --> 01:22.541
How do I look?
01:23.750 --> 01:24.750
Like a prince.
01:36.875 --> 01:39.041
Why are we off course?
Who changed the heading?
01:41.833 --> 01:45.166
- Lieutenant Jee, I asked you a question.
- We were given new orders.
01:45.166 --> 01:47.333
New orders? By who?
By me.
01:49.541 --> 01:54.958
We've been playing catch-up for too long.
I think it's time for a new strategy.
01:54.958 --> 01:56.291
You think?
01:57.708 --> 01:59.666
I am the one hunting the Avatar.
02:00.375 --> 02:02.291
I am in charge of this mission.
02:02.291 --> 02:04.958
I am the commander of this ship.
02:06.125 --> 02:07.208
And I
02:08.541 --> 02:09.875
am an admiral.
02:11.583 --> 02:13.833
Fire Lord Ozai saw fit to put me
02:14.416 --> 02:18.083
in charge of all operations
related to the capture of the Avatar.
02:18.083 --> 02:20.708
Of course I welcome your assistance.
02:20.708 --> 02:22.625
In fact, I expect it.
02:22.625 --> 02:25.416
I'll need
all the resources at my disposal,
02:26.541 --> 02:28.000
no matter how minimal.
02:29.250 --> 02:30.333
I'll come by later
02:31.458 --> 02:36.750
to discuss a few personnel changes
I'd like to make.
02:37.625 --> 02:39.166
Until then, carry on.
02:45.333 --> 02:46.541
What's happened?
02:49.166 --> 02:51.250
Lieutenant Jee,
resume our original course.
02:54.250 --> 02:55.541
Did you hear me?
02:55.541 --> 02:57.833
Resume course!
02:59.333 --> 03:01.416
Do you know
what the punishment for mutiny is?
03:01.416 --> 03:04.083
I do, and that's why
I can't do what you say.
03:04.833 --> 03:07.166
Admiral Zhao was very clear
with these orders
03:07.166 --> 03:09.291
and what would happen
if we didn't follow them.
03:15.000 --> 03:18.750
Are you seriously gonna let
this spineless slug tell us what to do?
03:19.250 --> 03:21.166
He doesn't know what's at stake!
03:22.833 --> 03:26.583
We can't let him come in and take it away.
Not after everything we've been through.
03:39.666 --> 03:42.791
For the last three years,
we've only had each other,
03:42.791 --> 03:44.625
and that's still true.
03:45.208 --> 03:48.375
Only those of us on this boat
know what it's been like.
03:49.166 --> 03:51.833
Zhao is not the one
who deserves your loyalty.
03:53.125 --> 03:54.708
Zuko is.
Loyalty?
03:54.708 --> 03:58.958
General, with all due respect, your nephew
doesn't know the meaning of the word.
03:58.958 --> 04:00.666
If he did, he would've shown us,
04:00.666 --> 04:03.291
the people who've been with him
night and day for three years,
04:03.291 --> 04:04.875
a lot more respect.
04:04.875 --> 04:09.375
Instead, we've had to put up
with his insults and abuse and tantrums.
04:10.000 --> 04:11.916
He doesn't care
what we've had to sacrifice,
04:11.916 --> 04:14.125
because he's never had
to sacrifice anything.
04:14.125 --> 04:17.333
If you ask anyone here,
they'll tell you, "He may be a prince,
04:17.333 --> 04:19.041
but he's not our prince."
04:21.583 --> 04:22.416
Sir.
04:30.958 --> 04:33.000
I know Zuko has his rough edges.
04:34.041 --> 04:37.416
But you must understand
he's been through a lot.
04:38.250 --> 04:44.083
And he knows far more about sacrifice
than you can ever know.
06:05.041 --> 06:07.375
Greetings, wise sages.
I'm glad to see you.
06:08.875 --> 06:12.083
Uh, my name is Aang, and I'm here
to visit the shrine of Avatar Roku.
06:12.875 --> 06:13.791
You see,
06:14.583 --> 06:15.666
I'm the Avatar.
06:15.666 --> 06:16.750
We know.
06:18.666 --> 06:19.916
Wait!
06:20.833 --> 06:23.250
You're supposed to be men of peace!
06:26.041 --> 06:27.541
After him!
06:31.750 --> 06:33.333
I'm a friend.
06:38.666 --> 06:41.000
This will take us
to Avatar Roku's shrine. Quickly.
06:41.791 --> 06:43.500
He must be close.
06:43.500 --> 06:44.833
Search everywhere!
06:55.333 --> 06:56.916
Whoa. Easy, girl.
06:56.916 --> 06:59.125
Caught a scent, have we?
07:03.416 --> 07:05.000
Okay, Nyla. Let's go.
07:08.458 --> 07:10.000
My name is Shyu.
07:10.000 --> 07:14.458
I believe the Avatar
represents not any one kingdom
07:14.458 --> 07:16.708
but the hope of a unified world.
07:17.958 --> 07:21.125
Sadly, the Great Sage
and the others believe
07:21.125 --> 07:24.000
the Fire Lord
is their true spiritual leader.
07:24.750 --> 07:26.416
They have lost their way.
07:26.416 --> 07:30.000
So all of this belonged to Roku?
07:30.583 --> 07:32.500
These are relics
from previous Avatars
07:32.500 --> 07:35.208
that my grandfather gathered
for safekeeping.
07:39.083 --> 07:41.000
I need to make contact
with Avatar Roku.
07:41.000 --> 07:43.666
He's the only one
who can tell me how to save my friends.
07:46.041 --> 07:48.166
I will hold them off for as long as I can.
07:53.458 --> 07:54.583
Step aside.
07:54.583 --> 07:59.083
Great Sage, this boy's the Avatar.
He is a hope for the world.
07:59.750 --> 08:01.916
Remember the teachings of Avatar Roku.
08:01.916 --> 08:05.291
Fire is not meant
to dominate the other elements.
08:05.875 --> 08:07.583
It should exist in balance with them.
08:07.583 --> 08:11.666
The only one who can provide balance
is Fire Lord Ozai.
08:11.666 --> 08:14.250
He will unify the world, not the Avatar.
08:14.250 --> 08:17.708
And you have no idea
how powerful he will soon become.
08:19.958 --> 08:23.125
Now, for the last time,
08:23.125 --> 08:24.500
step aside.
08:26.041 --> 08:27.208
I can't do that.
08:28.208 --> 08:32.375
Then you shall burn
along with the rest of the nonbelievers.
08:42.708 --> 08:46.791
Who dares disturb
the peace of the Avatar?
08:48.083 --> 08:50.541
Uh, it's me. Aang.
08:50.541 --> 08:54.875
Is it not customary
to bow before your elders?
08:56.916 --> 08:59.291
And to avert your eyes?
09:01.750 --> 09:03.541
And hop on one leg?
09:09.333 --> 09:10.708
Forgive me!
09:10.708 --> 09:12.208
I couldn't resist.
09:12.208 --> 09:13.916
It's good to see you, Aang,
09:13.916 --> 09:16.375
but what took you so long?
09:16.375 --> 09:18.958
I thought you would come
to seek my advice sooner.
09:19.541 --> 09:20.875
Avatar Kyoshi told me
09:20.875 --> 09:22.958
that I need to figure things out
on my own.
09:22.958 --> 09:24.625
That it was part of my journey.
09:24.625 --> 09:26.500
Sounds like her.
09:26.500 --> 09:28.541
Kyoshi has always been kind of...
09:32.833 --> 09:36.708
I thought you'd all be like that.
Aren't Avatars incarnations of each other?
09:36.708 --> 09:40.375
We share the same spark,
but we are our own people.
09:40.958 --> 09:42.000
I'm different from Kyoshi,
09:42.000 --> 09:44.541
just as you are different
from either of us.
09:45.041 --> 09:49.166
For instance, what did Kyoshi tell you
the role of the Avatar was?
09:49.166 --> 09:52.500
She said I need to be
a fierce, merciless warrior.
09:52.500 --> 09:57.166
Yes, there are times when the Avatar
must resort to force and intimidation,
09:57.166 --> 09:59.375
but in addition to being a warrior,
09:59.375 --> 10:01.958
the Avatar must also be a diplomat.
10:02.541 --> 10:06.250
So we can solve the world's problems
without hurting anyone?
10:06.250 --> 10:11.166
We can try,
but there are consequences if we fail.
10:11.833 --> 10:15.458
Painful... consequences.
10:18.458 --> 10:22.416
But like Kyoshi,
I am here to aid you in your journey.
10:22.416 --> 10:23.750
Anything you need.
10:23.750 --> 10:25.166
It has to do with Koh.
10:26.125 --> 10:27.541
Anything but that.
10:27.541 --> 10:29.916
- You don't understand--
- No, you don't understand.
10:30.541 --> 10:32.291
Koh is a predatory spirit
10:32.291 --> 10:34.958
who can hurt you in ways
you can't imagine.
10:34.958 --> 10:36.583
Just ask Avatar Kuruk.
10:36.583 --> 10:39.458
I don't have a choice,
and I'm running out of time.
10:39.458 --> 10:42.375
He's captured my friends,
and if I don't do something,
10:42.375 --> 10:43.625
they'll be lost forever.
10:44.541 --> 10:45.416
Please.
10:45.416 --> 10:47.333
I heard you defeated him once.
10:47.333 --> 10:48.750
No, I never defeated him.
10:49.541 --> 10:52.000
I only managed to take something from him.
10:52.000 --> 10:56.375
Perhaps you've come
to return what you stole from me.
10:56.375 --> 10:57.916
What did you take?
11:02.000 --> 11:06.583
A totem that represents something
that Koh needs and cannot forget.
11:07.083 --> 11:09.375
The pendant belonged
to the Mother of Faces,
11:09.375 --> 11:13.833
an ancient spirit
who crafted faces for all living beings.
11:15.625 --> 11:20.250
It's because of her
that identity came into this world.
11:20.250 --> 11:21.375
And she
11:22.083 --> 11:23.166
is Koh's mother.
11:24.208 --> 11:26.416
Koh longs for the same thing we all do.
11:27.500 --> 11:28.625
Family.
11:28.625 --> 11:29.625
A totem?
11:31.708 --> 11:34.041
Sounds like something
he'd be willing to trade for.
11:35.125 --> 11:36.416
Thank you, Roku.
11:37.375 --> 11:38.583
Aang!
11:39.125 --> 11:41.125
I hope that you're able
to save your friends.
11:41.125 --> 11:44.250
But the truth is,
for the Avatar, friends can be...
11:46.458 --> 11:47.583
a liability.
11:48.166 --> 11:52.083
The Avatar has to make
the impossible choices,
11:52.083 --> 11:55.208
placing the world's needs
ahead of your needs.
11:55.208 --> 11:57.583
On that, Kyoshi and I agree.
11:58.166 --> 11:59.375
Trust me.
12:00.250 --> 12:02.875
It'll save you and the ones you love
12:03.583 --> 12:04.541
a lot of pain.
12:04.541 --> 12:06.041
...a lot of pain.
12:42.875 --> 12:44.458
What happened to them?
12:57.375 --> 12:58.708
Paralyzed.
13:09.541 --> 13:11.041
Sh!
13:11.958 --> 13:15.250
Everything's gonna be fine.
13:30.291 --> 13:34.125
So you're the Avatar, huh?
Not sure what all the fuss is about.
13:34.875 --> 13:36.125
You need to let me go.
13:36.125 --> 13:38.833
No, really. You need to let me go.
13:38.833 --> 13:41.875
People are depending on me.
You don't know what's at stake.
13:41.875 --> 13:45.791
I've heard the stories
about how you're gonna save the world.
13:49.791 --> 13:50.791
Here's the thing.
13:51.750 --> 13:53.375
Some of us don't need saving.
13:53.375 --> 13:55.958
Some of us
have got this world figured out.
13:56.958 --> 13:59.000
You got your Firebenders
and your Earthbenders
13:59.000 --> 14:00.750
and your whatever-benders,
14:01.500 --> 14:03.166
and they all want something.
14:03.958 --> 14:05.750
They're all willing to fight to get it.
14:06.250 --> 14:10.500
So if you're smart, you just sit back
and wait for the dust to clear
14:10.500 --> 14:13.166
and then pick through broken pieces
for the leftovers.
14:17.833 --> 14:21.000
Far as I'm concerned,
world's just fine the way it is.
14:25.375 --> 14:27.208
Time's up, Avatar.
14:34.208 --> 14:35.083
You did it.
14:35.625 --> 14:37.125
You actually got him.
14:39.208 --> 14:40.833
Feel free to count it.
14:44.083 --> 14:46.208
I trust you. You know why?
14:46.208 --> 14:48.958
Because if there's any missing,
you'll come after us?
14:49.875 --> 14:52.041
Because you're so cute.
14:55.666 --> 14:58.666
Oh, and careful.
This one's got a lot of heat on him.
14:58.666 --> 15:00.750
A bunch of hunters
have been sniffing around.
15:00.750 --> 15:02.375
Folks not to be messed with.
15:03.250 --> 15:04.625
See you around, Avatar.
15:10.708 --> 15:14.708
Please just let me do what I have to do,
and I swear I'll come back.
15:15.291 --> 15:18.708
My friends are in danger,
and I'm the only one who can save them.
15:20.208 --> 15:23.500
If I don't return soon,
I'll lose them forever.
15:25.583 --> 15:28.041
Why? Why don't you listen to me?
15:29.041 --> 15:31.416
Do you know what it's like
to have people depending on you?
15:31.416 --> 15:33.875
To have someone's life in your hands?
15:33.875 --> 15:34.833
I do.
15:34.833 --> 15:37.458
Then please let me save them!
15:39.125 --> 15:40.000
No.
15:43.625 --> 15:45.625
You couldn't have always been this way.
15:46.125 --> 15:48.041
What happened to you?
15:50.500 --> 15:53.625
The Earth Kingdom's forces
are concentrated along the southern coast.
15:53.625 --> 15:56.583
We tried flanking them,
but they keep lengthening the line.
15:57.083 --> 15:58.583
How about a pincer move?
15:59.083 --> 16:02.541
They're anchored by cliffs.
They can outflank any attacks.
16:02.541 --> 16:03.458
What would you do?
16:03.458 --> 16:05.458
Your Highness, I would suggest--
Not you.
16:06.416 --> 16:07.250
Zuko.
16:08.625 --> 16:09.541
What would you do?
16:15.625 --> 16:16.541
Um...
16:16.541 --> 16:21.000
Horns tactic. Enveloping flanks,
leaving an escape route to draw them out.
16:21.000 --> 16:24.791
Didn't you hear the general?
They're protected by cliffs on one side.
16:27.583 --> 16:29.916
Tundra tanks to come over the top.
16:29.916 --> 16:32.000
They're Earthbenders.
16:32.000 --> 16:35.208
Our tanks would be
buried under rocks in seconds.
16:36.541 --> 16:37.375
I...
16:39.750 --> 16:41.458
I...
16:41.458 --> 16:42.458
General.
16:44.416 --> 16:47.416
We could advance a division... here.
16:47.958 --> 16:50.333
With the enemy's firepower
focused on that diversion,
16:50.333 --> 16:54.375
we can launch pinning attacks
here... and here.
16:55.708 --> 16:58.458
If you send them into the heart
of their forces, how will they retreat?
16:59.625 --> 17:00.458
They won't.
17:00.458 --> 17:01.833
But they'll be lost.
17:05.541 --> 17:07.291
You're gonna sacrifice them.
17:08.166 --> 17:10.500
Sacrifice is a part of war.
17:13.291 --> 17:15.458
What division do you suggest?
17:15.458 --> 17:18.000
The 41st. They're mostly new recruits.
17:18.000 --> 17:19.250
They're expendable.
17:21.416 --> 17:22.333
Good.
17:34.375 --> 17:37.916
This isn't something
you learn in a textbook.
17:38.916 --> 17:42.208
Little boys should know better
than to play at war.
17:46.416 --> 17:47.875
It's a terrible plan.
17:49.916 --> 17:50.958
What did you say?
17:55.000 --> 17:58.708
I said... it's a terrible plan!
18:00.125 --> 18:02.208
Soldiers are gonna die, and for what?
18:02.875 --> 18:04.916
It's unworthy of a Fire Nation officer.
18:04.916 --> 18:06.375
You dare question--
18:06.375 --> 18:07.708
Enough!
18:08.500 --> 18:10.750
There is only one way to resolve this.
18:12.791 --> 18:13.833
Agni Kai.
18:30.708 --> 18:31.916
Someone's out there.
18:43.083 --> 18:45.333
Let us through! Do you know who I am?
18:45.333 --> 18:46.500
Of course we do.
18:48.666 --> 18:52.750
Just as we all know
you're in defiance of my orders,
18:52.750 --> 18:57.916
which means that by disrespecting me,
you're dishonoring your father,
18:57.916 --> 19:02.500
which, I guess, shouldn't be surprising,
given the stories I've heard.
19:04.541 --> 19:05.750
We'll take the Avatar.
19:05.750 --> 19:07.000
Over my dead body.
19:10.250 --> 19:11.083
Tempting.
19:12.583 --> 19:13.500
However...
19:18.458 --> 19:19.583
The Yuyan Archers.
19:20.166 --> 19:23.000
Ozai was gracious enough
to lend them to me.
19:23.000 --> 19:28.125
It's said
they can shoot the wings off a glowfly
19:28.125 --> 19:30.083
from a thousand paces.
19:31.375 --> 19:32.208
I imagine...
19:35.208 --> 19:37.500
this shouldn't be
much of a challenge for them.
19:54.750 --> 19:56.041
Where will you take him?
19:57.625 --> 19:59.625
Pohuai Stronghold for the night.
19:59.625 --> 20:01.500
Then straight to Capital City.
20:01.500 --> 20:05.375
I'm sure the Fire Lord
is eager to take possession of his prize.
20:05.375 --> 20:09.583
He's been waiting a long time,
and I don't want him to be disappointed
20:10.416 --> 20:13.708
any more than he already has been.
20:22.500 --> 20:25.041
If we take the Eastern Pass,
we can make it to Pohuai by nightfall.
20:25.041 --> 20:26.791
- Prince Zuko.
- Watch out for the Archers.
20:26.791 --> 20:29.041
But Zhao will likely station them
by the Avatar--
20:29.041 --> 20:30.333
Zuko!
20:30.333 --> 20:33.041
Pohuai Stronghold is impenetrable.
20:33.541 --> 20:35.958
Why do you think
Zhao told us he was going there?
20:36.541 --> 20:38.958
He knows attacking it would be suicide.
20:38.958 --> 20:41.583
Entire armies have tried and failed.
20:41.583 --> 20:45.791
Not only that, but Pohuai lies
inside Fire Nation borders.
20:45.791 --> 20:47.958
Going there would violate your banishment.
20:49.125 --> 20:52.333
- I don't care!
- But Ozai does, and if he finds out--
20:52.333 --> 20:54.416
- But the Avatar--
- He's lost!
20:55.458 --> 20:57.625
For now.
20:57.625 --> 20:59.791
Right now, Zhao has the upper hand.
20:59.791 --> 21:04.375
But sooner or later, he'll make a mistake,
and that's when we can make our move.
21:04.375 --> 21:05.666
Until then,
21:06.666 --> 21:07.833
patience.
21:28.916 --> 21:30.166
Make sure you get this.
21:30.166 --> 21:33.291
The Fire Lord will wanna know
all the details of the Avatar's capture.
21:33.291 --> 21:37.375
Make it clear
I spared no effort in securing him.
21:38.000 --> 21:41.083
And we should add a few thoughts
from the Avatar himself.
21:41.583 --> 21:44.666
If not for the Fire Lord,
then for posterity.
21:45.166 --> 21:46.166
Now,
21:47.666 --> 21:48.916
Avatar,
21:48.916 --> 21:52.125
had you heard of my name
before your capture,
21:52.125 --> 21:53.625
or was this the first time?
21:53.625 --> 21:55.708
Please. You have to let me go.
21:55.708 --> 21:58.750
No, no. There are four guards, not three,
21:58.750 --> 22:03.375
and both his hands
and his feet are shackled.
22:03.375 --> 22:06.958
- Make sure you get it right.
- There are innocent lives at stake!
22:06.958 --> 22:09.458
I can't let everyone down again.
22:11.791 --> 22:12.791
Not again.
22:17.125 --> 22:18.250
If I were you,
22:19.541 --> 22:21.833
I'd be thinking less about my past
22:22.458 --> 22:24.000
and more about my future.
22:25.083 --> 22:27.041
It's not my future I'm worried about.
22:28.083 --> 22:28.916
Really?
22:30.333 --> 22:32.583
I mean, I'd worry a little.
22:33.583 --> 22:35.416
Oh, you won't be killed.
22:35.416 --> 22:37.250
If you die, you'll just be reborn.
22:37.250 --> 22:39.833
We'd have to begin our search
for the Avatar all over again,
22:39.833 --> 22:42.166
so... you'll live.
22:43.958 --> 22:45.166
Though not well.
22:48.666 --> 22:49.583
Well...
23:05.000 --> 23:08.708
Blow all the hot air you want.
It won't change your fate.
23:11.500 --> 23:13.708
What are you doing? Don't write that down.
23:19.666 --> 23:24.125
We are the loyal sons
and daughters of fire,
23:25.083 --> 23:28.000
the superior element.
23:28.000 --> 23:33.000
Until now, only one thing
stood in our path to victory.
23:34.125 --> 23:35.583
The Avatar.
23:35.583 --> 23:41.458
And today, we've done something
no one has been able to do.
23:42.041 --> 23:46.333
We have captured the Avatar!
23:48.375 --> 23:50.916
This is just the first step.
23:50.916 --> 23:54.750
There will be mighty battles to be fought.
23:55.291 --> 23:56.375
But not tonight.
23:56.375 --> 23:57.625
Tonight,
23:58.791 --> 24:02.666
we will celebrate!
24:03.416 --> 24:08.750
We will praise the glory
of the Fire Nation!
24:48.166 --> 24:49.500
Whoa.
24:50.208 --> 24:51.833
Did you get everything?
24:51.833 --> 24:54.875
You know it.
As much wine as I could haul.
24:58.208 --> 25:00.208
Gonna be some night, huh?
25:02.458 --> 25:05.375
Let's hope there's less firespitting
than Ahn's birthday.
25:05.375 --> 25:07.791
My eyebrows
only just grew back.
25:22.291 --> 25:24.000
All clear.
Open gate!
25:44.458 --> 25:45.958
Whoa.
25:51.791 --> 25:52.916
He's got the goods.
25:52.916 --> 25:55.708
Man, am I happy
to see your ugly butt.
26:34.125 --> 26:35.250
Who's there?
26:54.000 --> 26:55.333
Sound the alarm.
27:27.166 --> 27:28.250
Who are you?
27:31.416 --> 27:33.500
Right. Run now, talk later.
27:59.125 --> 28:01.625
Make sure to include
the full transcript of my speech,
28:01.625 --> 28:04.625
but change "loyal" to "faithful."
28:04.625 --> 28:05.791
It sounds more personal.
28:05.791 --> 28:11.083
Also, make sure the Great Sage
has everything he needs for his research.
28:25.041 --> 28:27.083
Now, was that "loyal" or "faithful," sir?
28:34.916 --> 28:36.958
The Avatar has escaped!
28:36.958 --> 28:38.833
The Avatar's escaped!
28:38.833 --> 28:41.375
There! On the wall!
Don't let him get to the gate!
28:42.291 --> 28:44.333
The Avatar! Stop him!
28:51.833 --> 28:53.541
Ah!
29:41.666 --> 29:42.791
Hey! Here. Take this.
29:47.833 --> 29:48.666
Hop on!
29:48.666 --> 29:49.750
Ah!
29:52.875 --> 29:54.041
Ah!
29:56.583 --> 29:57.583
Ah!
30:11.291 --> 30:13.500
Hold your fire!
30:17.416 --> 30:20.583
I need the Avatar... alive.
30:25.583 --> 30:27.458
What... what are you doing?
30:42.250 --> 30:43.458
Open the gate!
30:44.000 --> 30:44.833
Sir!
30:44.833 --> 30:45.750
Do it!
30:46.333 --> 30:47.291
Now!
30:48.041 --> 30:49.250
Open gate!
31:21.333 --> 31:22.333
Do you have a shot?
31:24.708 --> 31:25.625
Take him out.
31:45.250 --> 31:46.708
Kill the mercenary,
31:47.291 --> 31:48.916
and recover the Avatar!
31:49.791 --> 31:50.625
Now!
32:24.791 --> 32:26.208
Where did they go?
32:30.291 --> 32:31.458
Check over there!
32:32.000 --> 32:33.291
Did you see anything?
32:33.291 --> 32:34.750
Sir, footprints!
32:34.750 --> 32:35.833
Over here!
32:41.375 --> 32:42.708
I have a small boat nearby.
32:45.333 --> 32:48.458
We can't go anywhere.
Not with those soldiers still out there.
32:50.166 --> 32:51.375
This way!
32:51.375 --> 32:52.875
You shouldn't try to move.
32:54.666 --> 32:55.625
You're hurt.
33:00.000 --> 33:02.041
- I'm trying to help.
- I don't need your help.
33:03.833 --> 33:04.708
Fine.
33:05.458 --> 33:06.500
Have it your way.
33:24.250 --> 33:25.375
What?
33:25.375 --> 33:26.375
Nothing.
33:33.208 --> 33:35.083
Can I ask you something?
33:36.000 --> 33:37.791
It might be a little personal.
33:41.875 --> 33:43.791
Goat hair or rabbit?
33:46.458 --> 33:49.625
Your calligraphy brush.
Goat hair or rabbit?
33:50.666 --> 33:54.916
Your characters are so neat.
I mean, I could never get mine like that.
33:54.916 --> 33:58.666
Monks used to say lemur droppings
were more legible than my brush strokes.
34:06.875 --> 34:07.750
Look,
34:08.833 --> 34:11.083
I know I shouldn't have
taken your notebook,
34:11.666 --> 34:12.916
and I'm sorry.
34:14.583 --> 34:16.958
It's been a lifesaver. Really.
34:17.500 --> 34:19.625
You have information
on all the past Avatars
34:19.625 --> 34:21.458
that no one else has.
34:23.291 --> 34:26.625
All the Air Nomad monks, they're all gone.
34:27.708 --> 34:29.541
So all I had was your notebook.
34:31.041 --> 34:33.583
I can't tell you
how many nights I stayed up reading it.
34:34.916 --> 34:35.833
You helped me a lot.
34:37.000 --> 34:39.750
I mean, it helped me a lot.
34:52.375 --> 34:53.333
Goat hair.
34:54.083 --> 34:55.708
It's stiffer, more control.
34:57.333 --> 34:59.833
My teachers
made me practice every morning.
35:00.958 --> 35:02.416
I wasn't allowed to do fight training
35:02.416 --> 35:05.750
until I had done 100 vertical strokes
and 100 horizontal.
35:05.750 --> 35:06.875
Me too!
35:07.625 --> 35:10.541
Except mine were for spiritual studies.
35:10.541 --> 35:14.083
A lot of the time, when I was supposed
to be meditating, I was actually sleeping.
35:14.083 --> 35:17.625
I always got caught.
Probably didn't help that I snored.
35:25.875 --> 35:28.833
Those guys out there, they're Fire Nation.
35:29.458 --> 35:30.458
Yes.
35:31.041 --> 35:33.916
So they're on your side.
Why are you fighting them?
35:33.916 --> 35:35.083
They're not on my side.
35:36.500 --> 35:39.666
But they will be.
When I capture you and bring you back, I...
35:48.416 --> 35:50.208
If I catch you, I can go home.
35:51.375 --> 35:54.208
Then I can take my place
as the rightful heir to the Fire Lord.
35:54.208 --> 35:57.125
And that's what you want?
To be the next Fire Lord?
35:57.125 --> 36:00.500
Yes. Of course.
It's what everyone expects of me.
36:04.791 --> 36:05.708
Gyatso.
36:06.666 --> 36:07.750
He was my teacher.
36:08.833 --> 36:12.291
He said we can't worry about
anyone else's expectations.
36:13.416 --> 36:15.541
I know. It's not that easy.
36:16.416 --> 36:20.791
I mean, I'm the Avatar,
and... it's what everyone expects of me.
36:22.208 --> 36:23.958
All I do is worry about that.
36:29.375 --> 36:32.000
Maybe you don't have to be
like the other Firebenders.
36:33.708 --> 36:35.416
Maybe you could be better than them.
36:36.666 --> 36:39.000
You know
what the Fire Lord is doing is wrong,
36:39.541 --> 36:41.500
so you don't have to be like him.
36:42.333 --> 36:44.500
You can show some compassion.
36:49.875 --> 36:50.708
How dare you?
36:51.500 --> 36:56.041
I'm the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation.
I'll be the example for all Firebenders.
36:56.041 --> 36:59.375
And my father is a great man.
37:02.875 --> 37:04.291
Compassion?
37:04.291 --> 37:08.250
Compassion is a sign of weakness.
37:17.500 --> 37:19.708
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
37:21.625 --> 37:24.916
I have a feeling
you've been hurt more than enough.
37:33.041 --> 37:34.375
Prepare yourself.
37:36.791 --> 37:37.833
Father?
37:38.791 --> 37:42.500
But... I'm... I'm here to duel General Li.
37:42.500 --> 37:45.791
You're here because you have no respect
for our military.
37:45.791 --> 37:47.833
That's not true.
Really?
37:47.833 --> 37:51.583
Even when they come up
with terrible plans?
37:52.333 --> 37:53.583
My plans!
37:54.375 --> 37:58.041
My strategy. My military.
That's what you have insulted.
37:59.041 --> 38:01.125
Forgive me, Father.
I meant no disrespect.
38:01.125 --> 38:03.041
Rise.
No! Please, Father.
38:03.041 --> 38:04.166
Rise!
38:04.166 --> 38:05.166
Brother!
38:06.333 --> 38:07.375
Don't do this.
38:07.375 --> 38:08.500
He's your son.
38:09.541 --> 38:10.500
We'll see.
38:19.416 --> 38:21.583
Rise and fight, Prince Zuko,
38:22.291 --> 38:24.333
so you can learn some respect.
39:05.375 --> 39:08.416
Is this everything? Give me everything.
39:51.916 --> 39:54.458
Compassion is a sign of weakness.
40:22.750 --> 40:24.333
The soldiers are gone,
40:24.333 --> 40:26.833
so you should be able
to get back to your ship
40:26.833 --> 40:28.125
without getting spotted.
40:30.666 --> 40:33.625
You know the worst part
about being born a hundred years ago?
40:36.500 --> 40:37.625
I miss my friends.
40:39.208 --> 40:40.166
Like Kuzon.
40:41.583 --> 40:42.625
He was the best.
40:43.791 --> 40:45.833
And he was from the Fire Nation.
40:50.458 --> 40:52.041
If we knew each other back then...
40:55.125 --> 40:56.833
do you think we could have been friends?
41:21.916 --> 41:24.666
You should turn in, sir. We'll keep watch.
41:24.666 --> 41:26.708
Any sign of the prince,
we'll let you know.
41:26.708 --> 41:29.791
Thank you, Lieutenant,
but I'll wait a little longer.
41:33.708 --> 41:34.916
You're wrong, you know.
41:35.708 --> 41:37.250
About him not caring.
41:38.625 --> 41:40.833
If anything, Zuko cares too much,
41:40.833 --> 41:43.583
especially about the people on this ship.
41:44.833 --> 41:45.750
Of course, sir.
41:46.458 --> 41:49.250
Lieutenant, have you ever wondered
41:49.250 --> 41:52.250
how you and the others
were assigned this mission?
41:53.041 --> 41:56.708
The doctor is creating
a special herbal balm just for you.
41:57.833 --> 42:00.875
And the good news is,
he says your vision will be fine,
42:00.875 --> 42:05.500
which means you have the good fortune
of continuing to bask in my beauty.
42:15.208 --> 42:17.125
Now is not a good time.
42:17.125 --> 42:19.458
- I wish to speak with my son.
- He's hurt.
42:19.458 --> 42:21.833
- He'll recover.
- But he'll never heal.
42:26.250 --> 42:28.666
The doctor says you'll recuperate quickly.
42:28.666 --> 42:30.958
It's a sign your body is strong.
That's good.
42:31.958 --> 42:33.791
Your spirit, however,
42:33.791 --> 42:36.583
still needs strengthening.
42:46.708 --> 42:48.041
You held back today.
42:49.666 --> 42:52.291
Maybe you saw that as a sign of respect,
but it wasn't.
42:52.791 --> 42:54.041
It was weakness.
42:55.333 --> 42:58.125
You must purge that weakness out of you.
43:02.750 --> 43:05.916
You must be willing to give up the weak
to make yourself strong.
43:05.916 --> 43:07.875
That is what makes us the Fire Nation.
43:07.875 --> 43:10.458
That is why we sacrifice
the 41st Division.
43:10.458 --> 43:12.916
That is what you must do.
43:20.208 --> 43:23.041
Sometimes the weak can become stronger.
43:26.500 --> 43:29.875
Sometimes you just
have to give them a chance.
43:33.625 --> 43:36.083
I have made a mistake.
43:37.000 --> 43:40.541
I've sheltered you,
and it's made you soft like your mother.
43:42.625 --> 43:46.458
Well, since you seem unable
to learn within the walls of this palace,
43:46.458 --> 43:50.458
perhaps the demands of the world outside
will prove to be a better teacher.
43:52.625 --> 43:57.625
You will leave here immediately,
and you are not to return
43:59.416 --> 44:00.250
until...
44:02.541 --> 44:06.875
until you have conquered the greatest
remaining threat to our nation's destiny.
44:08.250 --> 44:13.375
You will find, capture,
and bring me the Avatar.
44:13.375 --> 44:15.875
You are not to set a foot
within our borders
44:15.875 --> 44:17.583
until this task is completed.
44:17.583 --> 44:19.958
Under threat of the severest of penalties!
44:19.958 --> 44:21.500
Ozai! You can't!
44:21.500 --> 44:22.833
Brother, it's done.
44:25.291 --> 44:26.291
Oh.
44:27.416 --> 44:30.208
And since you're so concerned
with the 41st Division,
44:30.708 --> 44:31.875
take them with you
44:32.833 --> 44:34.000
as your crew.
44:50.250 --> 44:51.333
The 41st?
44:52.416 --> 44:53.833
We're the 41st.
44:55.000 --> 44:58.125
And you're all alive
because of my nephew's sacrifice.
45:02.000 --> 45:03.375
There's something out there.
45:13.083 --> 45:15.291
It's him. Drop the lines!
45:23.458 --> 45:25.125
You're injured.
- I'm fine.
45:25.125 --> 45:26.791
We should have someone look at it.
45:27.458 --> 45:28.791
I've dealt with worse.
45:30.375 --> 45:34.000
I'm not going to ask you where you went,
but in the future, nephew,
45:34.000 --> 45:38.208
I would appreciate it if you let me know
whether or not you're still alive.
45:39.125 --> 45:41.791
There actually are a few of us
who care about...
45:43.916 --> 45:45.041
about such things.
45:51.041 --> 45:52.125
Attention!
45:52.125 --> 45:53.166
Huh!
45:54.791 --> 45:57.666
Our prince... has returned.
45:59.458 --> 46:00.916
Hup!
Hup!
46:06.500 --> 46:07.458
What's going on?
46:09.375 --> 46:11.250
They must've missed you at music night.
46:58.333 --> 47:02.291
It's amazing how far we'll go
to hide our true selves from the world.
47:06.166 --> 47:08.541
Perhaps it's because
we don't want people to know
47:08.541 --> 47:10.416
how much they really mean to us...
47:13.500 --> 47:18.375
...which is funny because the truth is,
we would do anything for them.
47:28.500 --> 47:30.625
We'd travel incredible distances.
47:32.333 --> 47:33.958
Risk our lives.
47:36.583 --> 47:38.166
Even fight monsters.
48:32.000 --> 48:35.208
But I suppose it can be scary
to admit you need people.
48:36.250 --> 48:39.625
Some might see that
as a weakness, a liability.
48:45.791 --> 48:48.166
It's been so long.
How do you feel?
48:48.166 --> 48:53.208
After all, what greater pain
is there than losing someone you love?
48:56.250 --> 48:57.250
Or worse...
48:58.458 --> 48:59.375
Gyatso?
49:00.166 --> 49:03.750
...finding out someone you love
has left you behind.
49:07.375 --> 49:10.208
Can we talk about it when I get back?
49:11.791 --> 49:13.000
Of course.
49:13.000 --> 49:16.125
Once I save my friends,
we'll have more time.
49:30.958 --> 49:35.333
I guess that's why we feel the need
to hide away and protect ourselves.
50:09.291 --> 50:10.916
So we put on a mask.
50:13.458 --> 50:15.625
It's not hard to understand why.
50:17.458 --> 50:19.583
What's hard is knowing that sometimes...
50:21.958 --> 50:24.625
the mask is who you really are.
