00:19.708 --> 00:22.958
Prince Zuko, the Imperial Guard, they're
coming to take the prince into custody.
00:22.958 --> 00:24.333
- What?
- The Imperial Guard?
00:24.333 --> 00:27.291
- They're already on their way.
- Lieutenant Jee, slow down.
00:29.958 --> 00:36.041
I was just on Admiral Zhao's ship
going over the latest... fuel usage figures.
00:36.958 --> 00:39.791
Lieutenant Dang and I
were burning the midnight oil.
00:39.791 --> 00:42.875
So funny, your face. Oh!
00:42.875 --> 00:44.583
Dang stepped out to take a message.
00:46.750 --> 00:47.666
Keep drinking.
00:49.750 --> 00:53.333
I overheard them discussing new orders.
Orders from the Fire Lord himself.
00:53.333 --> 00:56.750
He sent his personal guard
to bring Prince Zuko back to Capital City,
00:56.750 --> 00:58.541
where he is to stand trial...
00:58.541 --> 00:59.750
For treason.
01:00.333 --> 01:01.916
Treason?
Are you certain?
01:01.916 --> 01:04.750
Yes, sir. I heard Dang
order his men to shore to meet the guard.
01:04.750 --> 01:07.166
Tonight? That means
he'll be here any minute.
01:10.083 --> 01:11.500
This is Zhao's doing.
01:11.500 --> 01:14.416
Somehow, he's convinced Ozai
you've turned against him.
01:18.333 --> 01:21.875
Pohuai, Zhao’s figured out
you were the one that freed the Avatar.
01:22.666 --> 01:25.291
Prince Zuko, you need to leave, now.
01:26.458 --> 01:28.958
Do not start the engines
until you are well clear.
01:28.958 --> 01:31.083
Stay off the main roads,
and travel only at night.
01:31.083 --> 01:33.625
Uncle, we can't let my father believe
I've turned against him.
01:33.625 --> 01:38.083
I know, but first you must get to safety.
Let me sort things out with Ozai.
01:47.208 --> 01:49.541
Thank you, Lieutenant Jee.
01:50.041 --> 01:51.875
Stay safe, Your Highness.
02:01.875 --> 02:03.000
Jee had no idea.
02:05.541 --> 02:08.041
It was all too easy
to get him to take the bait.
02:30.208 --> 02:32.916
What will you tell the Fire Lord
about his son?
02:34.125 --> 02:35.875
I'll tell him the truth.
02:37.875 --> 02:42.958
That the prince chose to put his needs
over those of his countrymen.
02:48.458 --> 02:50.791
And that his son was a traitor.
02:53.500 --> 02:54.666
Blasting jelly.
03:00.666 --> 03:01.500
The prince!
03:09.125 --> 03:10.083
Zuko.
03:14.083 --> 03:18.666
Now I need to deliver my condolences
to General Iroh.
03:18.666 --> 03:21.375
I'm sure he's been through
a terrible shock.
03:49.416 --> 03:51.500
Zuko's on his own,
03:51.500 --> 03:53.458
and he wasn't anything
like I thought he'd be.
03:53.458 --> 03:55.958
He just seemed so alone.
03:56.541 --> 03:57.500
I'm shocked.
03:57.500 --> 04:00.458
Sokka, Aang made a connection with him.
04:00.458 --> 04:01.375
Right?
04:01.375 --> 04:05.291
I just realized Zuko and I,
we both have a lot on our shoulders.
04:07.166 --> 04:11.125
This whole time, I've been worried
that I don't know what I'm doing.
04:11.750 --> 04:13.000
And the truth is, I don't.
04:13.583 --> 04:15.583
I haven't learned
any of the other bending skills,
04:15.583 --> 04:17.666
and I'll probably continue messing up,
04:18.250 --> 04:21.041
but at least I'll be able to do it
with my friends by my side.
04:21.625 --> 04:23.583
That's right. Team Avatar.
04:27.666 --> 04:29.000
What is it, boy?
04:29.000 --> 04:30.083
Look!
04:32.583 --> 04:34.375
It's the Northern Water Tribe!
04:34.916 --> 04:38.000
We did it. We finally made it.
04:50.291 --> 04:52.250
They're here!
04:56.916 --> 04:58.708
Avatar, welcome
04:59.333 --> 05:00.416
to Agna Qel'a.
05:05.958 --> 05:06.958
This is...
05:06.958 --> 05:08.000
Beautiful.
05:08.583 --> 05:09.583
It's perfect.
05:23.833 --> 05:26.666
We've been expecting you.
05:27.583 --> 05:29.541
Mother!
Your beast is in good hands.
05:29.541 --> 05:31.875
My men will take him
to our buffalo yak stables,
05:31.875 --> 05:34.458
which are in a heated grotto
with plenty of light and space.
05:34.458 --> 05:35.875
Make sure he gets seaweed.
05:36.375 --> 05:37.208
Lots of seaweed.
05:37.208 --> 05:38.333
Of course.
05:42.708 --> 05:46.625
Welcome. I'm Arnook,
chief of the Northern Water Tribe,
05:46.625 --> 05:49.958
and I offer you our hospitalities
and our protection
05:49.958 --> 05:52.791
in the name of the Ocean and Moon Spirits.
05:52.791 --> 05:56.208
Thank you. You don't know how long
we've been looking forward to this.
05:56.208 --> 05:58.625
I can't tell you
the joy it brings us to welcome
05:58.625 --> 06:01.375
a long-lost brother and sister
from the South.
06:01.875 --> 06:05.291
This is Master Pakku.
He is our senior waterbending master.
06:06.125 --> 06:10.083
And this is my daughter, Princess Yue,
our tribe's spiritual leader.
06:10.083 --> 06:13.791
There's something I need to tell you.
You're in danger.
06:13.791 --> 06:14.875
Avatar Aang--
06:14.875 --> 06:16.416
I know it sounds crazy,
06:16.416 --> 06:19.750
but I've seen a vision,
and in it, the North is under attack.
06:19.750 --> 06:20.833
We know.
06:21.625 --> 06:25.958
Several days ago, our scouts picked up
a Fire Nation fleet steaming this way.
06:25.958 --> 06:28.333
We've been keeping track of them
ever since.
06:28.333 --> 06:30.625
We are grateful to have you with us.
06:30.625 --> 06:32.958
With the power of the Avatar on our side,
06:32.958 --> 06:35.541
we'll teach them a lesson
they won't soon forget.
06:37.166 --> 06:41.833
Citizens, it is a great day for our city
as we welcome mighty allies,
06:41.833 --> 06:45.500
and we shall celebrate their arrival
with a feast.
06:45.500 --> 06:48.041
Feast.
The spirits have protected us...
06:48.041 --> 06:49.458
- Stop staring.
- Huh?
06:50.125 --> 06:52.125
I can't help it.
There's something about her.
06:52.125 --> 06:54.916
- Have we met her before?
- No.
06:54.916 --> 06:57.541
Now quit it before they think
something's wrong with you.
06:57.541 --> 06:58.666
More than there already is.
07:06.166 --> 07:10.541
I swear, I will not rest
until I hunt down these villains.
07:10.541 --> 07:15.458
Our enemies can't be allowed
to get away with such a brazen crime.
07:15.458 --> 07:17.250
And I know where to start the hunt.
07:18.083 --> 07:19.625
I know who did this.
07:23.166 --> 07:24.291
It was Ozai.
07:25.541 --> 07:28.541
Ozai's lost all shred of humanity.
07:28.541 --> 07:31.625
He's become so obsessed
with conquering the world,
07:31.625 --> 07:35.041
he cannot tolerate anyone
who would get in the way of this,
07:35.041 --> 07:37.166
not even his own flesh and blood.
07:37.166 --> 07:38.291
I see.
07:46.250 --> 07:47.583
I sympathize.
07:49.833 --> 07:53.208
It does make what I'm about to say
07:54.458 --> 07:55.583
a bit awkward.
07:58.791 --> 07:59.916
The Fire Lord
08:01.416 --> 08:04.375
has given me the honor
08:04.916 --> 08:07.166
of leading a great armada
08:08.041 --> 08:10.583
with orders to conquer the North.
08:11.375 --> 08:13.250
We know the Avatar is headed there,
08:13.250 --> 08:17.458
to the last great Waterbender stronghold,
08:17.458 --> 08:21.125
and so I am setting out to take it.
08:23.791 --> 08:25.041
Forgive me, Admiral,
08:25.958 --> 08:32.500
but you weren't the first to come to mind
for such a... prominent mission.
08:32.500 --> 08:36.958
I admit
that I have little experience in battle.
08:37.666 --> 08:42.083
Of course, that also means
that I have no track record of failure.
08:44.416 --> 08:45.375
Unlike you.
08:57.583 --> 08:58.583
Ah!
09:02.458 --> 09:03.458
That's enough.
09:03.458 --> 09:04.416
Enough!
09:10.291 --> 09:12.500
The Fire Lord deems your performance
09:13.750 --> 09:14.583
below average.
09:15.291 --> 09:16.250
But I defeated him!
09:16.250 --> 09:18.666
You should've finished him
at least two moves earlier.
09:18.666 --> 09:21.416
Thus, you will undergo
another trial tomorrow.
09:33.125 --> 09:35.333
You realize
he's playing games with you, right?
09:35.333 --> 09:37.875
Didn't feel like a game
when that boulder was flying at my head.
09:37.875 --> 09:41.375
Just saying your father already knows
you're the best.
09:41.375 --> 09:43.333
He just doesn't want you to know that.
09:43.333 --> 09:45.875
Let my father empty his prisons.
09:46.583 --> 09:48.250
Send every bender he has at me.
09:48.250 --> 09:51.416
I'll burn everyone in the world
until he admits the truth.
09:51.416 --> 09:52.666
What truth?
09:54.291 --> 09:56.583
That I'm the one.
10:11.375 --> 10:13.166
Why don't you just go and talk to her?
10:13.958 --> 10:17.458
And say what?
"Hey there. Sokka, Southern Water Tribe."
10:21.333 --> 10:22.500
She's just a girl.
10:23.583 --> 10:26.750
She's a princess
and a spiritual leader.
10:26.750 --> 10:30.041
She probably sleeps on a throne
and only eats dewdrops and sunshine.
10:32.875 --> 10:33.875
No way.
10:34.375 --> 10:37.000
Stewed sea prunes. My favorite.
10:37.750 --> 10:40.041
Is it good? What's it taste like?
10:41.333 --> 10:42.250
Like...
10:44.375 --> 10:45.500
like home.
10:52.750 --> 10:53.583
Katara?
10:56.000 --> 10:59.041
I just wanna say thanks
for helping me get here.
11:00.291 --> 11:02.208
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
11:03.083 --> 11:05.500
A world I wouldn't have seen
if it wasn't for you.
11:07.916 --> 11:11.166
So enjoying the food, are we?
11:11.166 --> 11:12.750
It's delicious.
11:12.750 --> 11:15.083
You say you were entirely self-taught.
11:15.083 --> 11:19.291
Yes, I feel like I've come pretty far,
but I still have so much to learn.
11:19.291 --> 11:21.958
That's why I couldn't wait to get here
to meet other Waterbenders
11:21.958 --> 11:25.333
and especially esteemed masters like you.
11:27.958 --> 11:31.583
It must've been difficult
to grow up cut off from other benders.
11:31.583 --> 11:34.833
The Fire Nation's attacks
took so much from you.
11:34.833 --> 11:36.000
From all of us.
11:40.583 --> 11:44.291
The worst part was I...
I couldn't do anything about it.
11:44.291 --> 11:46.416
What's important is you survived.
11:46.416 --> 11:48.708
That is what we do.
11:48.708 --> 11:50.625
Water is the element of change.
11:51.541 --> 11:55.458
And we Waterbenders
have always adapted to the flow of life.
11:57.416 --> 12:00.291
Tomorrow morning, go and find Yagoda.
12:00.875 --> 12:04.291
She is one of our finest instructors,
and she can start you on your journey.
12:06.041 --> 12:07.458
Thank you, Master Pakku.
12:20.666 --> 12:25.625
How about some cloudberries?
12:43.125 --> 12:44.375
Here you go.
12:48.708 --> 12:49.708
Thank you.
12:50.916 --> 12:52.125
You can help me finish this.
12:54.833 --> 12:56.833
Come on. It's pretty good.
13:11.791 --> 13:13.166
What do you think?
13:13.166 --> 13:14.375
It's delicious.
13:17.041 --> 13:21.666
When I was a kid, I used to hide out here
when my dad would meet with the elders.
13:21.666 --> 13:24.041
He said he wanted me to see
how things worked in the tribe
13:24.041 --> 13:26.750
because, someday,
it would be my responsibility.
13:26.750 --> 13:28.750
Not very fun.
13:28.750 --> 13:34.125
Hmm, so I'd hide out here with the grans
and make dessert.
13:36.333 --> 13:38.458
You are just a girl.
13:39.583 --> 13:40.875
Did you think I wasn't a girl?
13:40.875 --> 13:44.833
No, no, no. I just figured
with you being a princess and all--
13:44.833 --> 13:47.666
- That I was stuck up?
- Yeah. I mean, no.
13:49.250 --> 13:51.500
I mean, that's what I thought,
but, no, you're ordinary.
13:52.083 --> 13:54.791
Not ordinary,
because that wouldn't be good,
13:54.791 --> 13:57.875
and I think
I should stop saying words now.
13:57.875 --> 13:59.583
I get it.
13:59.583 --> 14:02.291
I know out there I seem all...
14:04.000 --> 14:06.541
but that's what they expect me to be.
14:07.333 --> 14:10.000
Don't get me wrong.
I love serving my community,
14:10.000 --> 14:13.916
but every now and then,
I just have to go somewhere and...
14:13.916 --> 14:14.875
Make dessert?
14:17.000 --> 14:17.958
No, I get it.
14:18.708 --> 14:22.250
You know, back home,
it was my duty to protect the village.
14:22.875 --> 14:24.208
I took that seriously.
14:24.750 --> 14:27.916
Katara would probably say too seriously,
but the thing was--
14:27.916 --> 14:29.500
It's your responsibility.
14:31.125 --> 14:32.041
Yeah.
14:32.833 --> 14:35.583
Yeah, and if I didn't do it,
14:36.666 --> 14:38.291
who knows what could've happened.
14:39.333 --> 14:43.541
You know, I made a promise to my dad,
and I was gonna keep that no matter what.
14:44.125 --> 14:46.625
But there are times it would've been nice
to not have to worry.
14:47.458 --> 14:49.208
Times I wish I could be...
14:49.791 --> 14:50.791
Just a boy?
14:52.541 --> 14:53.416
Yeah.
14:58.375 --> 14:59.500
How do I know you?
15:01.750 --> 15:02.708
Princess Yue.
15:04.625 --> 15:06.375
They're ready for the evening blessing.
15:09.208 --> 15:10.250
Thank you, Hahn.
15:10.833 --> 15:13.750
You didn't have to leave the feast.
One of the priests could've come.
15:14.833 --> 15:16.083
It was no trouble at all.
15:16.833 --> 15:17.666
Really.
15:51.541 --> 15:53.291
Welcome to our ice wall.
15:53.291 --> 15:55.916
It has withstood attacks
for over a century.
15:56.500 --> 15:58.083
Chief Arnook, if you don't mind,
15:58.083 --> 16:01.583
I'd love to talk to our brother
from the South. Some combat advice.
16:01.583 --> 16:04.208
Me? You wanna ask me about fighting?
16:04.208 --> 16:05.916
You have something none of us have.
16:06.625 --> 16:07.500
Experience.
16:07.500 --> 16:11.416
Tell me, Fire Nation armor. Is it metal?
16:12.291 --> 16:14.208
The reference we have
has spikes on the shoulders.
16:14.791 --> 16:16.458
Uh, no metal. Leather.
16:16.458 --> 16:18.750
And, uh, they don't have
shoulder spikes anymore.
16:18.750 --> 16:22.708
The rest of the platoon should hear this.
Would you mind coming to talk to them?
16:23.333 --> 16:24.458
Um, sure.
16:25.458 --> 16:26.458
Great.
16:27.833 --> 16:29.250
Tell me, Avatar Aang,
16:30.000 --> 16:32.958
what do you think is the best approach
to the coming battle?
16:32.958 --> 16:36.166
Might I suggest
you lead the offensive front?
16:36.166 --> 16:38.250
You could spearhead an attack--
16:38.250 --> 16:42.791
Actually, airbending is primarily
a defensive discipline.
16:43.416 --> 16:46.208
Our style is to evade and avoid conflict.
16:46.208 --> 16:48.250
But you're not just an Airbender.
16:48.916 --> 16:50.041
You're the Avatar.
16:52.125 --> 16:54.791
Truth is, I haven't mastered
any other bending.
16:55.708 --> 16:59.583
But that's why I came here,
hoping someone could teach me?
16:59.583 --> 17:03.125
But we've heard stories
of how you've saved communities,
17:03.125 --> 17:05.583
defeated the Fire Nation platoons,
17:05.583 --> 17:07.458
even battled monsters.
17:07.458 --> 17:09.375
How were you able to do all that?
17:10.541 --> 17:11.666
My friends help me.
17:12.375 --> 17:13.666
We work together.
17:15.250 --> 17:18.166
It would've been wise
to have focused on your training
17:18.166 --> 17:19.541
during your journey.
17:26.708 --> 17:29.166
It seems we won't be able
to count on the Avatar.
17:36.666 --> 17:38.416
Water is life.
17:39.000 --> 17:42.083
Water allows life to flourish.
17:46.583 --> 17:48.500
And to heal.
17:56.750 --> 18:01.041
Master Pakku told me
we'd be having a special guest today.
18:01.041 --> 18:02.333
Thank you for having me.
18:03.041 --> 18:04.625
I'd heard stories of water healing,
18:04.625 --> 18:06.625
but I didn't think
it was still being practiced.
18:06.625 --> 18:09.791
Oh, yes, it's a vital part of our culture.
18:10.291 --> 18:11.458
Would you like to try it?
18:18.375 --> 18:21.666
Feel the flow of energy through the body.
18:22.250 --> 18:27.250
Connect that flow
to the energy in yourself.
18:27.750 --> 18:29.000
Healing...
18:31.041 --> 18:33.208
is more than a physical process.
18:34.458 --> 18:36.083
It's about empathy.
18:36.083 --> 18:40.416
You must understand
what it means to feel pain.
18:41.208 --> 18:43.208
Then take that pain away.
18:48.958 --> 18:50.291
You are a natural.
18:50.791 --> 18:51.916
Thanks.
18:51.916 --> 18:54.291
I've gotten good
at picking things up quickly.
18:54.791 --> 18:56.291
We had to think on our feet a lot.
18:56.791 --> 18:59.750
Nothing to focus your mind
like a fireball coming at your head.
19:01.291 --> 19:04.041
Which reminds me.
When do we get to fight training?
19:04.041 --> 19:04.958
Excuse me?
19:04.958 --> 19:07.791
I think my basic forms are pretty good,
but I could use help
19:07.791 --> 19:10.125
with accuracy and increasing power.
19:10.708 --> 19:12.375
I'm sorry, but women don't fight.
19:13.041 --> 19:15.916
We use our skills to heal, not to harm.
19:15.916 --> 19:17.583
I don't want to just heal.
19:17.583 --> 19:20.208
Healing is a noble and sacred tradition.
19:20.208 --> 19:21.791
The highest of callings.
19:21.791 --> 19:23.916
No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
19:23.916 --> 19:28.083
It's just that... I think
my skills lie more in combat.
19:28.083 --> 19:31.625
So if it's okay, I'd like to train
in fighting techniques.
19:31.625 --> 19:35.166
In the Northern Water Tribe,
women aren't allowed to fight.
19:35.750 --> 19:36.833
Aren't allowed?
19:37.666 --> 19:38.708
That's not right.
19:38.708 --> 19:40.041
But that is our way.
19:51.541 --> 19:52.666
Understood.
19:55.250 --> 19:56.625
They seem like a good group.
19:57.875 --> 19:59.291
We've trained them as best we can,
19:59.291 --> 20:02.250
but none of them know
what we're about to face.
20:02.250 --> 20:04.250
None of them have seen real battle.
20:04.250 --> 20:06.000
Hey, I'm sure they'll do great.
20:06.500 --> 20:08.083
Especially with you leading them.
20:10.375 --> 20:11.291
So...
20:13.375 --> 20:14.291
Princess Yue.
20:15.916 --> 20:16.916
She seems great.
20:17.500 --> 20:21.375
Yue, she's dedicated, kind, generous.
20:21.958 --> 20:25.625
She represents the highest ideals
of our tribe. She is the best of us.
20:28.000 --> 20:29.000
You like her.
20:29.625 --> 20:30.708
Um...
20:31.541 --> 20:32.708
The princess and I,
20:33.958 --> 20:35.125
we were betrothed.
20:35.708 --> 20:39.375
It was arranged by our parents when we
were children, but when she turned 16,
20:39.375 --> 20:41.250
she broke it off,
20:42.250 --> 20:44.291
which is her prerogative.
20:46.250 --> 20:47.083
Wow.
20:47.625 --> 20:49.291
But she never gave a reason why.
20:50.541 --> 20:51.458
So
20:53.208 --> 20:54.541
you would've gone through with it?
20:55.958 --> 20:57.166
You would've married her?
21:06.000 --> 21:08.791
Thank you for coming
to pay your respects to Avatar Kuruk.
21:09.583 --> 21:11.666
I'm here to do
a little bit more than that.
21:12.833 --> 21:15.750
I'm hoping Kuruk can help me
make a difference in this fight.
21:20.625 --> 21:22.416
Is that a problem?
21:23.000 --> 21:26.000
It's just been a long time
since anyone went to Kuruk for anything.
21:26.666 --> 21:29.041
The truth is,
his memory has faded for most.
21:29.041 --> 21:33.250
During his time as the Avatar,
Kuruk didn't engage much with the world.
21:33.250 --> 21:35.833
Some say he became enamored
with the Spirit World
21:35.833 --> 21:38.291
and spent most of his time there.
21:38.291 --> 21:41.083
Unfortunately, that meant
he wasn't around much
21:41.083 --> 21:43.583
to help us deal with our problems.
21:43.583 --> 21:46.333
So he didn't do his job as the Avatar.
21:46.916 --> 21:48.208
He let everyone down.
21:49.166 --> 21:51.583
I believe there must be more to his story.
21:52.083 --> 21:55.125
I hope you're right because I need help,
21:55.125 --> 21:59.000
and he's the only one who could
possibly understand my situation.
22:33.791 --> 22:34.833
Hello, Aang.
22:36.250 --> 22:37.791
I see you made it to the North.
22:37.791 --> 22:40.791
Yes, because
the Northern Water Tribe's in danger.
22:40.791 --> 22:42.583
Avatar Kyoshi showed me a vision
22:42.583 --> 22:45.166
of Agna Qel'a being destroyed
by the Fire Nation.
22:45.166 --> 22:47.166
I need to stop that from happening.
22:47.166 --> 22:48.458
You can't.
22:49.708 --> 22:52.250
If she showed you
the North being destroyed,
22:52.791 --> 22:54.000
then it will happen.
22:54.583 --> 22:56.958
But the battle's outcome
is still uncertain.
22:57.541 --> 22:59.833
Whether the Fire Nation prevails,
22:59.833 --> 23:02.041
whether the Waterbenders survive,
23:03.083 --> 23:04.958
all of that is up to you.
23:05.708 --> 23:06.708
I'm just one kid.
23:06.708 --> 23:09.208
No, you are the Avatar.
23:09.208 --> 23:10.833
When I was at Kyoshi Island,
23:10.833 --> 23:14.333
Avatar Kyoshi helped me unleash
these incredible energies.
23:14.333 --> 23:15.583
The Avatar State.
23:15.583 --> 23:18.625
Yes! She said it gave me the strength
of a thousand benders.
23:19.208 --> 23:21.375
I can use that power to save the North.
23:21.375 --> 23:23.500
But to gain control over it,
23:23.500 --> 23:26.000
you need to first
master the other disciplines.
23:26.000 --> 23:28.666
Except she was able to take control.
23:28.666 --> 23:31.416
She could channel the power
through my body.
23:31.416 --> 23:34.041
She was in control. You can do that.
23:34.041 --> 23:35.375
That's not possible.
23:35.375 --> 23:38.000
- Yes, it is. Kyoshi did it.
- I'm not Kyoshi.
23:38.000 --> 23:40.250
- But you still could!
- No, I can't!
23:46.083 --> 23:48.458
After I became the Avatar,
23:49.541 --> 23:52.208
I discovered
dark spirits were on the verge
23:52.208 --> 23:55.500
of crossing over into our realm
from the Spirit World.
23:56.208 --> 23:57.708
I had to stop them,
23:58.500 --> 24:00.833
so I spent my life fighting them.
24:01.916 --> 24:04.250
The war I waged on the spirits
24:05.416 --> 24:08.958
damaged my body and corrupted my soul.
24:08.958 --> 24:10.416
In my condition,
24:11.458 --> 24:14.083
I wouldn't be able
to control the Avatar State
24:14.083 --> 24:15.833
any more than you could.
24:17.833 --> 24:20.166
And despite all my sacrifices,
24:21.500 --> 24:24.875
I still couldn't save the one
that mattered the most.
24:25.458 --> 24:28.916
A predatory spirit came
to seek vengeance on me.
24:30.333 --> 24:32.500
Ummi, my beloved,
24:33.875 --> 24:35.333
paid the ultimate price.
24:37.291 --> 24:39.333
The spirit stole her face.
24:41.375 --> 24:43.291
Koh.
Listen to me, Aang.
24:44.083 --> 24:47.500
The Avatar must walk alone,
24:48.166 --> 24:50.666
or else the ones you love will suffer.
24:56.500 --> 24:58.625
Oh, sorry. I was looking for Katara.
24:59.208 --> 25:00.041
Oh.
25:02.875 --> 25:04.000
I should get going.
25:04.791 --> 25:06.041
Is something wrong?
25:07.541 --> 25:09.416
No, I'm just
25:10.625 --> 25:11.583
a little tired.
25:12.166 --> 25:16.708
Mm. I guess you need to go
and "recombobulate."
25:23.333 --> 25:24.833
I knew it! It was you!
25:24.833 --> 25:26.583
Yes.
- You're the fox!
25:26.583 --> 25:27.666
Yes.
25:27.666 --> 25:28.916
But how?
25:33.916 --> 25:37.333
Not long after I was born,
I got very sick,
25:37.916 --> 25:41.291
so my father pleaded with the spirits
to save my life,
25:41.291 --> 25:44.708
and... a miracle happened.
25:45.416 --> 25:47.791
The Moon Spirit answered his prayer
25:48.291 --> 25:51.541
and imbued me with some of its essence
and restored my life.
25:53.500 --> 25:55.458
That's the night my hair changed color.
25:55.458 --> 25:58.916
So you're a spirit?
26:00.208 --> 26:01.875
Part spirit, mostly human.
26:01.875 --> 26:05.333
Being of both worlds has meant
that I can be a bridge between the two.
26:05.333 --> 26:07.291
That's why I became a priestess,
26:07.291 --> 26:10.208
is to help people connect
with their spirituality.
26:10.791 --> 26:13.583
It also means I have the ability
to visit the Spirit World
26:14.166 --> 26:15.250
in my dreams.
26:15.250 --> 26:17.375
So you pop over there just for fun?
26:17.375 --> 26:18.541
Wouldn't you?
26:19.166 --> 26:20.791
It's magical.
26:20.791 --> 26:22.583
Not quite the word I would use.
26:22.583 --> 26:23.791
You didn't like it?
26:24.291 --> 26:25.666
What's not to like?
26:25.666 --> 26:28.166
Nearly being mauled by a spirit monster
26:28.166 --> 26:32.208
or getting my face eaten by a predator
or reliving the most painful memories--
26:32.208 --> 26:33.333
Painful?
26:36.500 --> 26:37.500
It was nothing.
26:38.500 --> 26:39.375
Never mind.
26:39.958 --> 26:41.000
Don't do that.
26:42.708 --> 26:44.750
Don't make it less than what it is.
26:47.625 --> 26:49.583
It was something that happened
when I was a kid.
26:51.583 --> 26:54.583
I overheard my dad saying
he was disappointed in me.
26:56.041 --> 26:58.208
That I wasn't cut out to be a warrior.
27:00.958 --> 27:02.375
That he didn't believe in me.
27:04.791 --> 27:07.916
Do you know what I remember about you
from the Spirit World?
27:10.291 --> 27:12.208
You were worried about your friends.
27:12.208 --> 27:15.083
You knew they were in trouble,
and you had to help them.
27:16.416 --> 27:17.875
Your heart.
27:19.625 --> 27:21.250
That's what sets you apart.
27:22.750 --> 27:24.833
That's what makes you a warrior.
27:27.833 --> 27:30.916
I have a feeling if your father
saw you now, he would agree.
27:37.041 --> 27:38.583
I need to know something.
27:41.041 --> 27:42.833
Why did you turn down Hahn?
27:43.500 --> 27:45.958
Hahn is wonderful.
27:46.875 --> 27:49.375
He is everything that a girl could want.
27:51.416 --> 27:54.166
But he is not the boy of my dreams.
28:04.250 --> 28:06.083
My friends mean everything to me.
28:06.083 --> 28:09.208
I can't do this without them.
It's how I made it this far.
28:09.208 --> 28:12.000
And with their help is how
I'll make it through this battle.
28:13.083 --> 28:14.750
We're Team Avatar.
28:14.750 --> 28:17.333
There is no Team Avatar.
28:17.916 --> 28:20.291
There is only the Avatar.
28:20.291 --> 28:23.333
Stop thinking about what you need,
28:23.333 --> 28:26.208
and think about what's best for them.
28:26.208 --> 28:31.125
Being the Avatar means
being the one who bears the burden.
28:31.875 --> 28:33.333
...alone.
28:34.125 --> 28:36.750
I made... a carving this out.
28:38.708 --> 28:40.000
A bear!
28:40.000 --> 28:42.083
Uh, actually, it's a fish.
28:42.083 --> 28:43.458
See? It has a fin.
28:44.041 --> 28:45.041
Oh.
28:48.375 --> 28:50.541
Hey, so did you talk to Kuruk?
28:50.541 --> 28:51.833
Was he able to help?
28:53.250 --> 28:54.708
No, he couldn't help me.
28:58.041 --> 28:59.041
I'm on my own.
29:00.916 --> 29:04.500
Ah, Katara, how was your time with Yagoda?
29:04.500 --> 29:06.375
Great, but I wanted to ask.
29:06.958 --> 29:08.791
Where will I be stationed
during the battle?
29:10.000 --> 29:13.416
Women aren't allowed in combat.
I thought you knew.
29:13.416 --> 29:17.416
No, I didn't.
I wouldn't have accepted it if I did.
29:17.416 --> 29:20.916
It's not a matter of accepting anything.
It's how things are done.
29:20.916 --> 29:22.625
It's stupid, and it's wrong.
29:22.625 --> 29:24.291
This is not up for debate.
29:24.291 --> 29:27.125
I've been fighting Firebenders
ever since I left home.
29:27.125 --> 29:28.541
Can any of your men say that?
29:28.541 --> 29:29.625
- Doesn't matter.
- Why not?
29:29.625 --> 29:31.583
This isn't about them. It's about you.
29:31.583 --> 29:35.333
You're not strong enough.
Women aren't strong enough.
29:36.000 --> 29:40.291
You haven't been training and preparing
to lay down your life for everyone here.
29:41.958 --> 29:46.208
And I'm not going to let what happened
to the Southern Tribe happen here.
29:59.750 --> 30:01.416
They won't let me fight.
30:01.416 --> 30:03.666
They've been stuck behind this wall
for so long,
30:03.666 --> 30:05.916
they've become frozen in time.
30:07.875 --> 30:09.625
Maybe we should talk to Yue.
30:10.708 --> 30:13.250
- Or maybe--
- Maybe we should listen to them.
30:16.750 --> 30:18.416
Maybe it's better if you didn't fight.
30:20.250 --> 30:23.791
This battle, it'll be like
nothing we've ever faced before.
30:23.791 --> 30:25.916
People are gonna get hurt and die.
30:28.125 --> 30:29.875
I can't lose you and Sokka.
30:30.958 --> 30:33.125
Aang, you're not gonna lose us.
30:33.125 --> 30:35.500
But just the thought I could
is gonna hold me back.
30:35.500 --> 30:37.666
These people need the Avatar.
30:39.416 --> 30:41.166
And I can't be the Avatar with you around.
31:07.875 --> 31:11.500
I wonder what they'll call me
when the news reaches Capital City.
31:12.791 --> 31:16.833
I quite like "Zhao the Conqueror."
It should have some flair.
31:16.833 --> 31:19.833
Admiral, if I understand
these battle plans,
31:19.833 --> 31:22.416
you are attempting
a frontal assault on Agna Qel'a.
31:22.416 --> 31:26.416
The city is surrounded
by impassable barriers on three sides.
31:26.416 --> 31:28.833
Its front is protected by an ice wall.
31:28.833 --> 31:32.875
What makes you think you can succeed
when so many others have failed?
31:33.625 --> 31:37.416
Because I have something
none of the others had.
31:38.666 --> 31:41.041
I have destiny on my side.
31:42.125 --> 31:44.750
Despite what our propaganda
would have you believe,
31:44.750 --> 31:48.041
the Waterbenders are neither weak
nor cowardly.
31:48.041 --> 31:52.166
Underestimating them
will lead to tragic consequences.
31:52.166 --> 31:53.250
That won't happen.
31:53.250 --> 31:57.791
For one thing, the fleet has been
outfitted with new, deadlier weapons,
31:57.791 --> 32:00.791
but... more importantly...
32:05.208 --> 32:07.625
I have personally made arrangements
32:09.083 --> 32:11.166
to ensure our victory.
32:11.166 --> 32:12.458
What is that?
32:13.375 --> 32:14.333
This...
32:15.875 --> 32:17.625
this is destiny.
32:20.000 --> 32:23.333
He's attacking the fortress head-on,
like a bull in heat.
32:23.333 --> 32:25.750
There may be more,
but he's keeping it to himself.
32:28.791 --> 32:31.541
I fear I've underestimated Zhao.
He's more dangerous than I thought.
32:31.541 --> 32:32.583
Yeah, I figured that out
32:32.583 --> 32:35.250
as I was swimming away
from the burning wreck of my boat.
32:35.250 --> 32:38.208
We've almost reached the North.
Have you got a plan yet?
32:38.208 --> 32:39.500
A plan?
32:40.583 --> 32:42.375
The plan is to prove
my father wasn't wrong
32:42.375 --> 32:44.083
to trust me with this mission.
32:44.791 --> 32:47.750
The plan is to go in
and capture the Avatar once and for all.
32:48.375 --> 32:51.250
The plan is to reclaim
what's rightfully mine!
32:53.208 --> 32:54.500
So no plan?
32:56.000 --> 32:57.291
I'm working on it, Uncle.
32:59.041 --> 33:01.375
I'm still surprised by Zhao's boldness.
33:01.375 --> 33:03.291
I'd have thought it beyond him.
33:03.291 --> 33:06.458
It's almost as if
he's working with someone else.
33:07.333 --> 33:09.125
Someone much smarter.
33:11.625 --> 33:12.875
Choose your opponent.
33:18.291 --> 33:19.125
No.
33:19.833 --> 33:22.625
- You must select one--
- No, I'm done.
33:22.625 --> 33:26.125
- Azula, stop playing games.
- I'm not the one playing games.
33:26.125 --> 33:29.375
This is your last chance. Fight or fail.
33:35.125 --> 33:36.083
No.
33:39.750 --> 33:40.666
You dare!
34:17.916 --> 34:18.916
Ha!
34:29.958 --> 34:31.083
You wanna test me?
34:32.541 --> 34:33.666
Set me loose.
34:34.625 --> 34:37.875
Let me go into the world
and show you what I can really do.
34:38.583 --> 34:40.750
I'm through playing games here.
34:45.708 --> 34:46.708
Hmm.
34:50.291 --> 34:51.666
Look, Pakku's an idiot.
34:53.833 --> 34:55.666
It doesn't matter what other people think.
34:55.666 --> 34:58.625
It doesn't matter if Dad didn't think
I'd be a great warrior,
34:58.625 --> 35:00.750
but I can still be great in some way.
35:00.750 --> 35:03.666
The point is, I get to decide,
35:04.625 --> 35:08.750
just like you get to decide who you are.
Not Pakku or anyone else.
35:10.791 --> 35:12.791
I'm gonna challenge Pakku to fight.
35:13.583 --> 35:15.583
I know. He's a master.
35:15.583 --> 35:18.958
He's probably gonna mop the floor with me,
but it doesn't matter.
35:19.500 --> 35:21.500
All my life, I've held myself back,
35:21.500 --> 35:23.875
and I'm not gonna let someone else
do it to me now.
35:28.458 --> 35:29.541
Katara.
35:31.333 --> 35:34.666
Remember at the Southern Air Temple
when you said we had to go with Aang?
35:36.166 --> 35:38.250
That we had to help him save the world?
35:40.416 --> 35:41.583
You were right.
35:41.583 --> 35:42.916
If we hadn't gone with him,
35:42.916 --> 35:46.041
I wouldn't have seen
how two kids from the Southern Water Tribe
35:46.041 --> 35:47.625
can measure up to anyone.
35:48.666 --> 35:51.833
Firebenders, Earthbenders,
spirit creatures,
35:51.833 --> 35:54.291
even strapping,
young Northern Water Tribe Warriors--
35:54.291 --> 35:57.791
Sokka, if you're trying to talk sense
into me, you're not doing a very good job.
35:57.791 --> 36:00.375
Sense? Who's talking sense?
36:01.916 --> 36:04.000
No, what I'm trying to tell you is...
36:06.500 --> 36:07.541
go kick his ass.
36:16.083 --> 36:19.041
What's going on?
I'm not going to fight you.
36:19.041 --> 36:21.625
Because you're afraid of
what you might learn. That you're wrong.
36:21.625 --> 36:22.541
Please.
36:23.125 --> 36:25.708
Go back to the healing huts
with the other women.
36:29.041 --> 36:30.500
Whoa!
36:35.375 --> 36:37.458
Fine. You wanna learn how to fight?
36:37.958 --> 36:39.458
Study closely.
37:20.875 --> 37:22.000
Had enough?
37:33.583 --> 37:34.750
Is that all you got?
38:46.916 --> 38:48.041
I'll say this.
38:49.041 --> 38:51.125
You're an excellent Waterbender.
38:51.125 --> 38:52.875
But you still won't let me fight.
38:54.208 --> 38:55.083
No.
39:04.666 --> 39:06.666
No one's pushed
Master Pakku like that.
39:06.666 --> 39:10.458
That was incredible.
Those ice disks. How did you do that?
39:10.458 --> 39:11.666
Can you show me?
39:14.875 --> 39:17.916
Well, I doubt anyone's gonna say
you're not strong enough now.
39:19.291 --> 39:21.250
No, they'll just say I lost.
39:22.375 --> 39:23.250
Did you?
39:31.666 --> 39:35.291
You said you're afraid of losing us,
and that's why we can't stay by your side,
39:35.291 --> 39:37.250
but it's my decision to fight,
39:37.250 --> 39:39.125
not Pakku's and not yours.
39:39.125 --> 39:42.666
Yeah. Do you think we came here
just to leave you on your own?
39:43.166 --> 39:44.291
Silly Avatar.
39:45.666 --> 39:47.625
I don't know if I can protect you.
39:47.625 --> 39:48.875
You can't.
39:48.875 --> 39:51.666
Yeah, and worrying about
who will or won't get hurt,
39:51.666 --> 39:54.041
it's not just the Avatar
who has to deal with that.
39:54.041 --> 39:56.000
That's what it means to be a family.
39:58.458 --> 40:00.291
Kuruk, Roku, Kyoshi.
40:00.291 --> 40:03.458
They all said
that I need to do this by myself.
40:04.250 --> 40:06.500
The Avatar must bear the burden alone.
40:07.833 --> 40:08.750
This is the past.
40:08.750 --> 40:11.166
Now, only one person
can tell you the future.
40:11.166 --> 40:13.750
The person who'll write
The Legend of Aang.
40:17.541 --> 40:19.791
She means you. You got that, right?
40:33.458 --> 40:34.583
Soot.
40:35.458 --> 40:36.791
The Fire Nation's here.
40:38.125 --> 40:39.125
Okay.
40:41.750 --> 40:42.750
Time to fight.
