WEBVTT
00:18.208 --> 00:20.250
Save yourself, Momo!
00:27.375 --> 00:28.708
Please don't find me. Please--
00:34.708 --> 00:36.333
Well, it was a good try.
00:36.416 --> 00:37.916
- Really?
- No!
00:38.000 --> 00:40.208
I've seen two-year-olds
hold their ground better.
00:40.291 --> 00:42.208
You're about as stalwart
as a possum chicken.
00:42.291 --> 00:44.083
You know, even Sokka
could've earthbent by now.
00:44.166 --> 00:46.375
Whoa! Take it easy on the poor guy.
00:46.458 --> 00:50.875
Okay, I'll take it easy on him
after he gives me 50 hop squats.
00:50.958 --> 00:52.541
Yes, Sifu.
00:52.625 --> 00:54.208
- Oh.
- One, two…
00:54.291 --> 00:56.625
You know, Aang is a good learner.
00:56.708 --> 00:59.125
And I think
a little positive reinforcement
00:59.208 --> 01:00.208
would go a long way.
01:00.291 --> 01:01.958
Wow, that's actually really helpful.
01:02.041 --> 01:04.958
I'll try and remember that
if he ever does anything positive.
01:07.583 --> 01:09.916
The sooner we get to Ba Sing Se,
the better.
01:10.000 --> 01:11.125
- Excuse me.
- Oh. Yeah.
01:15.833 --> 01:18.541
- Are you and Suki okay?
- Yeah. We're…
01:18.625 --> 01:21.916
What are you talking about? We're talking.
I said hi to her this morning, so…
01:22.000 --> 01:24.208
We're fine, so just leave me alone.
01:24.916 --> 01:26.583
Come on, Aang. You don't have to keep--
01:26.666 --> 01:27.708
Everybody stop!
01:30.375 --> 01:33.333
There's something… following us.
01:34.208 --> 01:36.208
It's big, and it's moving fast.
01:37.583 --> 01:40.000
- You think it's Azula and her friends?
- Or Zuko again.
01:40.083 --> 01:43.250
- Whatever it is, it's after us.
- No, it's after me.
01:43.916 --> 01:46.125
Everyone should keep moving forward
towards Ba Sing Se.
01:46.208 --> 01:49.208
Good idea! Aang and I will stay behind
and cover everyone's tracks.
01:49.291 --> 01:51.000
- Lead them the wrong way.
- Want me to help?
01:51.083 --> 01:53.416
Oh, don't worry your pretty head
about it, sweetness.
01:53.500 --> 01:55.125
Aang and I have got this.
01:55.208 --> 01:58.125
Come on, baldy. You can
finish your hop squats before the battle.
01:59.083 --> 02:00.875
Why is earthbending so hard for me?
02:31.250 --> 02:33.708
Earth is the element of strength.
02:35.041 --> 02:38.750
The people of the Earth Kingdom
are resilient and enduring,
02:39.625 --> 02:41.083
like the hills around us.
02:41.583 --> 02:44.375
They face their adversity head-on.
02:44.875 --> 02:47.750
The opposite of earth is air.
02:47.833 --> 02:50.041
Air is the element of freedom.
02:50.125 --> 02:54.541
Like the wind, the Air Nomads live freely
of worldly possessions
02:54.625 --> 02:57.708
and find peace
through detachment and lightness.
02:57.791 --> 03:00.083
The ferry to Ba Sing Se is almost back.
We should head down.
03:05.333 --> 03:06.541
We still have time.
03:07.125 --> 03:09.833
The element closest to air is water.
03:09.916 --> 03:13.041
Water is the element of change.
03:13.125 --> 03:16.958
Just as ice transforms to liquid,
then into mist,
03:17.041 --> 03:21.458
the people of the Water Tribes
transform adversity into growth.
03:21.958 --> 03:24.333
Fire is the element of power.
03:29.125 --> 03:33.125
If you want to bring Azula down,
you need to listen to me.
03:33.833 --> 03:35.708
I'm trying to teach you to fight her.
03:36.791 --> 03:38.458
Wait, is this about lightning?
03:38.541 --> 03:42.791
Yes. I'm going to teach you a technique
I designed myself.
03:44.708 --> 03:45.625
Okay.
04:00.166 --> 04:05.583
The key is you must allow the energy
to flow from the tips of your fingers
04:06.083 --> 04:07.458
to your shoulder,
04:08.375 --> 04:10.208
down into your stomach.
04:10.291 --> 04:14.583
The stomach is a bowl
that holds the energy of your body.
04:15.083 --> 04:16.208
From the stomach,
04:16.708 --> 04:21.000
you redirect the energy
up and out through your other arm.
04:23.375 --> 04:24.250
Okay.
04:48.958 --> 04:51.166
The path through the stomach is critical.
04:54.375 --> 04:57.000
If the lightning detours
through your heart,
04:57.833 --> 04:59.250
it will kill you.
05:00.333 --> 05:01.250
Okay.
05:50.708 --> 05:51.541
Okay.
05:52.041 --> 05:54.583
I got it.
Now… now how do I create the lightning?
05:54.666 --> 05:58.833
No! This is a technique I created
by watching Waterbenders.
05:58.916 --> 06:00.458
It is to redirect lightning.
06:00.541 --> 06:02.708
- Redirect?
- Yes, to defend yourself.
06:02.791 --> 06:06.416
I don't need self-defense.
I need to defeat Azula.
06:06.500 --> 06:08.500
I thought you were teaching me
to bend lightning so--
06:08.583 --> 06:12.875
Lightning is the purest, most dangerous
expression of firebending.
06:12.958 --> 06:17.250
It would be too dangerous for you
until you resolve the turmoil inside.
06:17.333 --> 06:18.208
What turmoil?
06:18.291 --> 06:19.375
Aah!
06:19.458 --> 06:22.125
I'm… I'm sorry. Uncle, I'm… I'm sorry.
06:22.208 --> 06:23.041
I'm okay.
06:32.916 --> 06:33.916
We have to go.
06:40.875 --> 06:43.250
Covering everyone else's tracks worked.
06:43.333 --> 06:45.833
Whatever was following us
is coming this way.
06:45.916 --> 06:48.250
If we need to run,
I'll be able to use my glider.
06:48.333 --> 06:50.750
I'm sorry. Why would we run?
06:50.833 --> 06:53.791
In case… we're losing?
06:53.875 --> 06:56.958
This is exactly your problem.
06:57.041 --> 06:59.708
I don't run away from things,
and neither should you.
06:59.791 --> 07:01.916
Azula can bend lightning.
07:02.000 --> 07:06.125
Her fire is blue, and it took seven of us
to make her feel like she was outnumbered.
07:06.208 --> 07:08.708
The second I showed up, she fled.
07:08.791 --> 07:10.375
She barely got away.
07:10.875 --> 07:13.875
So no, I'm not going to run.
07:18.500 --> 07:21.166
Oh, come on. You've got to be kidding me.
07:21.250 --> 07:22.833
- Well, what is it?
- You know what?
07:22.916 --> 07:25.500
- This is gonna be good training for you.
- Training?
07:25.583 --> 07:27.958
You're going to handle this, flighty boy.
07:28.041 --> 07:30.500
And you're gonna do it with earthbending.
07:31.333 --> 07:33.708
Toph, this is not the time
to be messing around.
07:33.791 --> 07:35.208
No, don't worry.
07:35.291 --> 07:37.541
Not even you could lose
to these chuckleheads.
07:49.250 --> 07:50.375
Submit!
07:52.458 --> 07:56.375
We are here to collect you
from the clutches of the Avatar.
07:56.458 --> 08:01.458
At long last, The Boulder has finally
found you, little Beifong.
08:01.541 --> 08:03.708
Oh, help me, O powerful Avatar.
08:03.791 --> 08:05.250
Are you serious right now?
08:05.333 --> 08:07.791
He's going to throw
a bunch of stuff at you.
08:07.875 --> 08:11.708
- Remember… hold your ground.
- Okay.
08:12.208 --> 08:14.375
- Ha!
- Step aside, bald one.
08:14.458 --> 08:15.458
Uh…
08:16.125 --> 08:17.125
No?
08:17.208 --> 08:20.875
- Then prepare to eat… Boulder.
- Ew.
08:20.958 --> 08:24.791
You'll never know how satisfying it was
for The Boulder to learn that…
08:25.291 --> 08:27.083
…the Blind Bandit
08:28.541 --> 08:32.791
was a spoiled Beifong princess! Ah!
08:36.416 --> 08:40.458
Plant your feet, wide stance,
and hold your ground.
08:42.333 --> 08:43.750
The Boulder agrees.
08:43.833 --> 08:44.958
Stop running!
08:45.041 --> 08:46.000
And get smashed?
08:46.083 --> 08:48.583
The Boulder has been smashed many times
in the head.
08:48.666 --> 08:50.208
Oh, well, that explains it.
08:56.166 --> 08:59.375
Dig in your heels. Massage the granules.
08:59.458 --> 09:02.291
Mr. Boulder, please refrain
from instructing the Avatar.
09:07.125 --> 09:11.291
Be one with the stone,
as it cracks your skull!
09:12.708 --> 09:14.291
- Should I be one with it?
- No!
09:16.000 --> 09:18.583
- Stop it! You're confusing him!
- I'm not confused.
09:18.666 --> 09:20.458
I just… I can't do it.
09:20.541 --> 09:22.875
Probably because Miss Beifong
never learned the fundamentals.
09:22.958 --> 09:25.125
She's as stubborn as the earth itself.
09:25.625 --> 09:27.291
Hold your ground!
09:27.375 --> 09:29.750
Caress the earth like a lover.
09:29.833 --> 09:31.916
- What?
- Recognize the element to command it.
09:32.000 --> 09:34.625
- Study the terrain.
- Stop moving! Quit moving!
09:34.708 --> 09:37.041
- Don't airbend!
- Make the elements serve you.
09:37.125 --> 09:39.375
Hey! You're making me look bad!
09:40.166 --> 09:41.750
Hey, don't listen to them!
09:46.458 --> 09:48.916
Bravo. You didn't learn a thing.
09:49.708 --> 09:51.833
Your mother is not going to like this!
09:53.416 --> 09:54.791
Not one bit!
10:06.291 --> 10:09.583
The ferry's not ready. Everyone back up!
10:14.500 --> 10:15.375
I'm not going.
10:16.708 --> 10:18.458
- What?
- Go without me.
10:18.541 --> 10:20.458
I'm never going back to Ba Sing Se.
10:20.541 --> 10:22.125
They're coming!
10:22.208 --> 10:24.333
Soldiers, to your defenses!
10:24.416 --> 10:26.416
I'm sorry there wasn't time
to teach you everything.
10:26.500 --> 10:28.875
It's the only place
we can be safe from her.
10:29.375 --> 10:30.750
Fire Nation!
10:32.875 --> 10:34.041
Uncle! Uncle!
10:39.625 --> 10:40.541
Let's go.
10:44.500 --> 10:45.750
Launch the ferry!
10:45.833 --> 10:47.250
We must have order!
11:00.375 --> 11:02.958
Launch the ferry! Launch the ferry!
11:16.666 --> 11:19.166
You're okay. You're okay. We made it.
11:19.875 --> 11:22.208
Longshot! There you are.
11:23.791 --> 11:26.791
What are you doing?
You could have gotten left behind!
11:26.875 --> 11:28.541
Look at him, Jet.
11:28.625 --> 11:29.916
He needed help.
11:34.333 --> 11:35.375
Thank you.
12:28.625 --> 12:30.375
This is the Outer Wall of the city.
12:31.666 --> 12:33.000
But where is everyone?
12:33.500 --> 12:35.666
Oh, I'm sorry. Are we talking again?
12:36.166 --> 12:37.416
Not by choice.
12:40.708 --> 12:43.791
Maybe they already got inside.
Do you see a gate?
12:44.375 --> 12:46.791
No. But I see Appa's tracks.
12:49.125 --> 12:50.041
Wait a minute.
12:50.958 --> 12:52.166
Do you hear that?
12:52.250 --> 12:54.041
You can't keep us in here!
12:54.125 --> 12:55.750
We came here for help!
12:55.833 --> 12:57.625
Hey, it's your friend, Katara.
12:57.708 --> 12:58.791
Let us out!
13:01.166 --> 13:02.125
Katara!
13:02.208 --> 13:03.583
Aang, is that you?
13:03.666 --> 13:05.458
Yeah, it's me and Toph.
13:05.541 --> 13:06.458
What happened?
13:06.541 --> 13:09.125
The soldiers said
we can't enter the city here.
13:09.208 --> 13:10.125
What soldiers?
13:10.208 --> 13:13.875
We told them we were from Omashu,
and more soldiers came.
13:13.958 --> 13:17.000
They shoved us against the wall,
and now we're all locked up.
13:17.083 --> 13:18.583
Wait a minute, she's right.
13:18.666 --> 13:22.333
I can feel them all down the wall.
Everyone's in their own cell.
13:25.666 --> 13:26.666
What about Appa?
13:26.750 --> 13:28.666
They covered him and Momo in stone.
13:28.750 --> 13:29.666
Open them up.
13:30.875 --> 13:32.875
- Open them all up now!
- All right!
13:32.958 --> 13:34.000
No problem.
13:37.666 --> 13:40.250
Someone's… fighting me.
13:41.541 --> 13:44.208
Hands up, Earthbender! Against the wall!
13:44.791 --> 13:46.333
Aang, Toph, don't fight them!
13:46.416 --> 13:47.916
Get off! Get off of me!
13:49.208 --> 13:50.916
Toph?
13:51.000 --> 13:52.208
Aang!
13:54.083 --> 13:57.625
Why are you doing this? Let us out!
14:32.625 --> 14:34.833
I didn't ask you to come after me.
14:36.291 --> 14:37.541
You did that.
14:40.083 --> 14:41.666
It was my fight.
14:43.791 --> 14:45.208
I didn't ask you to.
14:48.833 --> 14:50.250
You follow me.
14:52.458 --> 14:54.291
And then you're gonna abandon me?
14:57.083 --> 14:59.416
You don't get to abandon me.
15:03.041 --> 15:05.291
You don't get that choice.
15:10.875 --> 15:12.416
I'm not gonna let you.
15:26.916 --> 15:28.541
He's not looking so good.
15:30.541 --> 15:31.625
Sorry, man.
15:35.250 --> 15:36.666
Sorry about before too.
15:38.875 --> 15:40.833
I can see you guys have been through it.
15:40.916 --> 15:42.125
Just like us.
15:48.541 --> 15:51.458
People are saying we're supposed to
get housing assignments
15:51.541 --> 15:52.750
when we get to the city.
15:54.333 --> 15:58.250
Like they're gonna give us houses when
they won't even give us food on this boat?
16:00.000 --> 16:01.375
I guess we'll see.
16:13.000 --> 16:14.750
You know where they do have some food?
16:15.333 --> 16:17.083
Captain's quarters.
16:19.333 --> 16:21.125
I saw them taking it up there.
16:22.000 --> 16:26.958
We're talking about a plan
to liberate some meals for ourselves.
16:30.000 --> 16:31.208
You want in?
16:34.416 --> 16:35.541
No.
16:37.458 --> 16:39.166
We're just gonna keep our heads down.
16:48.125 --> 16:49.791
I bet there's medicine up there too.
16:58.333 --> 16:59.791
Name and nation of origin.
16:59.875 --> 17:02.583
Katara of the Southern Water Tribe.
I'm traveling with the--
17:06.166 --> 17:10.208
Why would you lock us up?
We're refugees. We came here for help.
17:10.291 --> 17:13.333
You're lucky you're not going to holding
with the rest of them.
17:13.416 --> 17:15.166
But you have an influential friend.
17:15.833 --> 17:17.291
- Katara.
- Aang.
17:17.375 --> 17:19.250
- Oh, you're okay.
- Hey.
17:19.750 --> 17:21.791
I thought they were gonna
keep us in there forever.
17:22.291 --> 17:25.375
Me too, but… Toph got us out.
17:25.875 --> 17:28.000
I showed them my family's seal.
17:28.083 --> 17:31.875
Told them that the Beifongs and the Avatar
have important business in the city.
17:31.958 --> 17:35.666
But they'll only let the four of us in.
The Avatar's personal retinue.
17:36.166 --> 17:38.375
We can't leave everyone else
in holding cells.
17:38.458 --> 17:40.333
Hold on.
17:40.416 --> 17:44.458
It took all the clout of my family name
just to do… this.
17:44.541 --> 17:47.791
We'll go see the Earth King
and ask him to help the others.
17:47.875 --> 17:50.500
Your liaison will take you
into the city now.
17:50.583 --> 17:51.875
Welcome.
17:51.958 --> 17:53.416
I am Joo Dee.
17:53.916 --> 17:56.708
I will be your guide and assistant
in Ba Sing Se.
17:56.791 --> 17:59.166
I hope you weren't too inconvenienced
on your way in.
17:59.750 --> 18:01.208
It wasn't great.
18:02.916 --> 18:04.750
Thank you, Joo Dee.
18:05.250 --> 18:07.250
We need to see the Earth King right away.
18:07.333 --> 18:10.333
Oh, I can certainly file a request
for an audience.
18:10.416 --> 18:12.708
Oh, no. You don't understand.
18:12.791 --> 18:15.500
We have important information
about the Fire Nation and the war.
18:15.583 --> 18:19.375
I'm sorry, Avatar. You may be confused.
18:19.875 --> 18:22.333
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
18:27.041 --> 18:28.708
And that's why the Agrarian Zone,
18:28.791 --> 18:30.708
with its rivers, forest, and farmland,
18:30.791 --> 18:34.916
has kept Ba Sing Se self-sustaining
for generations.
18:36.208 --> 18:38.208
Up ahead is the Inner Wall.
18:38.291 --> 18:40.458
Soon we'll be entering the city proper.
18:40.541 --> 18:42.291
How long will it take
to see the Earth King?
18:42.375 --> 18:44.708
I'll inquire as soon as we disembark.
18:46.166 --> 18:47.541
Here is the city now.
19:03.791 --> 19:06.708
This is the eclectic Lower Ring.
19:08.041 --> 19:12.250
Home to our hardworking tradespeople
and artisans.
19:12.791 --> 19:17.291
Joo Dee, my sky bison
could just fly alongside us.
19:17.375 --> 19:19.708
Then your Earthbenders
wouldn't need to push him.
19:19.791 --> 19:20.750
Oh.
19:20.833 --> 19:24.166
I'm afraid the citizens of Ba Sing Se
would find that distressing.
19:24.250 --> 19:26.833
This city is a no-fly zone.
19:27.416 --> 19:29.500
If you look ahead,
you can see the Middle Ring,
19:29.583 --> 19:32.833
containing our best shops,
restaurants, and schools.
19:32.916 --> 19:34.250
Oh, shops?
19:34.750 --> 19:36.208
We don't have time for shopping.
19:36.291 --> 19:38.791
Would it be possible
to take us directly to the Earth King?
19:38.875 --> 19:42.291
It'd be impolite if I did not escort you
to your lodgings first.
19:42.375 --> 19:46.541
I am thrilled to tell you the Avatar villa
is situated in the Upper Ring.
19:46.625 --> 19:49.583
That's where our royalty
and nobility reside.
19:49.666 --> 19:52.875
It is an elegant neighborhood
with gardens and spas.
19:52.958 --> 19:55.666
We're right next to the Earth King. Great!
19:55.750 --> 19:57.375
- Maybe we could--
- Actually!
19:57.458 --> 20:01.833
Friends, I think we all would enjoy
a little respite.
20:01.916 --> 20:04.708
Ba Sing Se is famous for its hospitality.
20:04.791 --> 20:09.791
We consider it a privilege
to be hosting the Avatar, Toph Beifong,
20:09.875 --> 20:12.458
and esteemed members
of the Southern Water Tribe.
20:12.541 --> 20:14.083
I'll be back with refreshments.
20:14.958 --> 20:17.041
Everyone, pipe down!
20:17.125 --> 20:19.958
Can't you dummies tell?
We're being handled.
20:20.541 --> 20:22.666
- What does that mean?
- Okay.
20:23.333 --> 20:25.500
A city is like a giant machine.
20:25.583 --> 20:28.833
But instead of steam or coal,
it runs on bureaucracy.
20:28.916 --> 20:31.500
Yeah, we have bureaucracy
in the Southern Water Tribe too.
20:31.583 --> 20:34.375
All requests have to go through me…
and then Gran Gran.
20:35.041 --> 20:37.208
Yes, bureaucracy is people.
20:37.291 --> 20:41.166
But here,
bureaucracy is a bunch of useless people
20:41.250 --> 20:43.458
standing between you and what you want.
20:43.541 --> 20:45.583
They handle your requests.
20:45.666 --> 20:47.666
And you have to make them feel important.
20:47.750 --> 20:52.666
Otherwise, they just kick you back
to the start of this great, stupid maze.
20:52.750 --> 20:55.333
That's why we have to be nice to Joo Dee.
20:55.416 --> 20:58.125
Otherwise, we lose
our only connection to the king.
20:58.208 --> 21:00.041
Just trust me, okay?
21:00.125 --> 21:01.291
I know cities.
21:01.375 --> 21:05.666
You may know cities, but you're new
to how this Avatar thing works.
21:05.750 --> 21:07.458
- Aang is important.
- Uh-huh.
21:07.541 --> 21:10.666
He's so important
that I had to rescue him from prison!
21:13.666 --> 21:16.916
We hope
you'll find the villa satisfactory.
21:17.000 --> 21:20.666
It is where we've hosted
many Avatars of the past.
21:21.291 --> 21:25.666
All meals will be delivered promptly
by your personal caterer.
21:25.750 --> 21:28.875
And beyond that are your private suites.
21:28.958 --> 21:32.541
Your sky bison will stay
in the adjoining barn.
21:34.500 --> 21:35.333
Excuse me.
21:35.833 --> 21:36.666
Hello.
21:38.833 --> 21:40.333
I'm so glad I caught you.
21:40.833 --> 21:42.208
I am Long Feng.
21:42.708 --> 21:43.958
Cultural Minister.
21:45.666 --> 21:47.250
This is Minister Long Feng.
21:47.333 --> 21:51.083
He's the senior official
who oversees cultural life in the city.
21:51.166 --> 21:52.083
I have news for you.
21:52.166 --> 21:55.875
But first, before that,
if you would indulge me,
21:57.541 --> 22:00.458
I brought some… welcome gifts.
22:02.750 --> 22:04.541
- Here.
- Huh. Thanks.
22:04.625 --> 22:05.791
And, uh…
22:07.333 --> 22:08.958
Candied sea prunes?
22:09.041 --> 22:10.958
- Miss Beifong.
- Just like home.
22:17.083 --> 22:20.083
Is this… mineral salt to soak my feet?
22:20.166 --> 22:22.541
Earthbending can get tiring.
22:26.250 --> 22:28.416
A stone from the top
of the Eastern Air Temple.
22:30.291 --> 22:32.666
The ancestral home of the sky bison.
22:33.250 --> 22:36.041
And also the birthplace of airbending.
22:36.625 --> 22:38.708
I hope, uh, this is appropriate.
22:38.791 --> 22:42.583
What do you give an Air Nomad
who is in want of nothing?
22:43.291 --> 22:44.750
That's where I met Appa.
22:45.250 --> 22:46.791
I'll keep this with me always.
22:48.458 --> 22:50.125
And now for the news.
22:50.208 --> 22:54.208
The king has granted asylum
to all Omashan refugees.
22:54.291 --> 22:57.166
We are in the process of settling them
in the Lower Ring
22:57.250 --> 23:01.416
and providing them with food vouchers,
necessities, and stipends
23:02.000 --> 23:03.291
until they find work.
23:03.375 --> 23:08.041
All I ask is, uh…
if you can confirm this roster.
23:08.541 --> 23:11.083
- Don't want to miss anyone.
- Yes, of course.
23:12.416 --> 23:13.625
Yeah, everyone's accounted for.
23:13.708 --> 23:16.833
Yeah, Suki and the other Kyoshi Warriors
are listed…
23:17.458 --> 23:18.541
Could we see them?
23:18.625 --> 23:20.875
- Uh, see… see everyone?
- Of course.
23:21.875 --> 23:24.625
Could you arrange a carriage, please,
Joo Dee?
23:27.125 --> 23:29.833
I've also heard
you wish to speak to King Kuei.
23:30.416 --> 23:34.333
As it happens, the king is having a party
at the Royal Palace tonight,
23:34.416 --> 23:37.375
and he would like for you
to be his honored guests.
23:37.875 --> 23:39.583
We would like that very much.
23:39.666 --> 23:40.958
It's settled, then.
23:41.833 --> 23:45.125
You visit your friends,
some rest, and a party.
23:46.000 --> 23:47.125
I must say
23:48.416 --> 23:51.250
it is the honor of a lifetime
23:51.791 --> 23:55.125
to be helping
the Avatar and his companions.
23:57.333 --> 24:00.583
Honor of a lifetime to help the Avatar.
24:00.666 --> 24:01.666
See, Toph?
24:01.750 --> 24:03.083
No, I don't.
24:03.166 --> 24:05.416
Oh. No, no I'm… I didn't mean it--
24:05.500 --> 24:07.958
Yeah, yeah, as fun as it is
to listen to you squirm,
24:08.041 --> 24:09.625
you're still wrong.
24:09.708 --> 24:12.375
This will not be
as easy as he makes it sound.
24:13.041 --> 24:15.250
Whatever. Ignore me at your peril.
24:17.291 --> 24:18.833
Great. I wanna call this room.
24:18.916 --> 24:20.958
- I'm gonna go in here. Yeah.
- What? No, what?
24:21.041 --> 24:21.875
I wanted this one.
24:21.958 --> 24:24.083
- I really like it.
- I like it too.
24:31.541 --> 24:33.125
So where'd Teo go?
24:33.708 --> 24:35.791
He wanted to be more helpful
with the war effort,
24:35.875 --> 24:38.041
so he left to find
some resistance fighters
24:38.125 --> 24:40.375
that Kyoshi Warriors
told him about in the North.
24:40.458 --> 24:41.666
He brought my designs
24:42.375 --> 24:45.708
so he could build more gliders
and teach others how to
24:46.708 --> 24:49.125
fight the Fire Nation from the air.
24:53.625 --> 24:54.958
I'm so proud of him.
24:58.625 --> 25:02.416
They said there would be
no flying over the city, and
25:04.083 --> 25:05.166
Teo's a flyer.
25:08.083 --> 25:09.250
I'm sorry.
25:14.541 --> 25:15.458
Sokka,
25:16.291 --> 25:18.375
the Kyoshi Warriors
have left the city too.
25:19.083 --> 25:20.291
Suki said
25:21.166 --> 25:25.125
there was no need for warriors
in a city with no war.
25:30.750 --> 25:31.583
Uh…
25:32.166 --> 25:33.583
Did she say anything else?
25:35.875 --> 25:37.458
No, she didn't.
25:41.291 --> 25:42.208
Um… uh,
25:42.291 --> 25:45.791
well, you're busy here,
so… uh, I'll leave you to it.
25:45.875 --> 25:48.583
Sokka. Sokka, if you wanted
to come back tomorrow to help me,
25:48.666 --> 25:50.416
I could use your thoughts and…
25:52.625 --> 25:55.416
if you wanted to come back tomorrow
just to talk, I'm here for that too.
25:58.916 --> 25:59.791
Thanks.
26:10.000 --> 26:11.416
You know, yesterday,
26:12.208 --> 26:14.291
I didn't know if we'd see another sunrise.
26:15.208 --> 26:19.250
And now I'm thinking about
opening a flower shop again.
26:24.041 --> 26:26.041
Praying to the Painted Lady worked.
26:26.125 --> 26:28.875
Well, prayers only work
when we act on them, right?
26:37.583 --> 26:39.125
Diya, what happened?
26:39.750 --> 26:43.083
A spider bit her
when we were locked in that room.
26:44.166 --> 26:48.666
I made a balm with aloe berries,
but it doesn't look like it's helping.
26:49.916 --> 26:51.541
Well, venom is a liquid.
26:52.250 --> 26:53.833
Maybe I can bend it out.
26:54.583 --> 26:55.666
Can I see your arm?
27:07.250 --> 27:08.250
Ow!
27:09.000 --> 27:10.000
I'm sorry.
27:12.333 --> 27:14.041
I guess I can't do it.
27:14.125 --> 27:15.750
It's a shame we don't have golden nettle.
27:15.833 --> 27:19.291
Then I could make a poultice
that would just clear it right up, but
27:20.000 --> 27:21.500
it's really rare.
27:21.583 --> 27:23.416
Thanks for trying, Katara.
27:24.750 --> 27:27.208
Katara, there you are.
27:29.416 --> 27:32.541
You must inform me
if you are going to depart from the group.
27:33.541 --> 27:35.833
I was just saying hi to Amita.
27:35.916 --> 27:39.083
But I was meant to escort you
on your visit to the Lower Ring.
27:39.166 --> 27:41.125
We must keep to the itinerary.
27:41.958 --> 27:44.416
Are you saying I can't just walk around
and talk to people?
27:44.500 --> 27:46.250
Of course that's not what I'm saying.
27:46.333 --> 27:50.791
I only want to ensure that the Avatar
and his companions remain in good standing
27:50.875 --> 27:54.583
while their request to speak with
the Earth King is in process.
27:55.666 --> 27:57.291
Visiting hours are over now.
27:57.791 --> 27:59.583
Yeah, I'm telling you, it was weird.
27:59.666 --> 28:02.750
Like I've been telling you,
you've gotta play along.
28:02.833 --> 28:06.083
It feels wrong talking about the war
dressed so… fancy.
28:06.166 --> 28:09.000
That's gorgeous! I mean, so is mine, but…
28:09.500 --> 28:10.750
What is this, silk?
28:10.833 --> 28:13.416
They even gave us makeup.
28:13.500 --> 28:16.166
When the Kyoshi Warriors put on makeup,
it's to go to battle.
28:16.250 --> 28:18.500
A party is a battle!
28:19.666 --> 28:23.875
There is nothing less enjoyable
than a high-society soirée.
28:24.500 --> 28:27.166
Everybody is there
because they want something,
28:27.250 --> 28:29.125
and nobody is there to have fun.
28:30.625 --> 28:32.625
Take the four of us, for example.
28:33.208 --> 28:35.541
We're all going
so we can speak to the king,
28:35.625 --> 28:37.958
which means
we all better make a good impression
28:38.041 --> 28:42.750
and behave like elites
worthy of his divine royal audience.
28:43.500 --> 28:46.083
That means bowing correctly.
28:48.208 --> 28:51.333
Always saying "yes,"
even when you mean "no."
28:51.416 --> 28:56.208
Or even better, just say,
"Huh, perhaps" to everything.
28:56.791 --> 29:00.291
Speak agreeably,
always with a faint smile.
29:01.166 --> 29:04.708
But you do not wanna show teeth.
You never wanna show teeth.
29:06.291 --> 29:07.500
Uh…
29:07.583 --> 29:09.833
No, Sokka. I don't think it's that.
29:09.916 --> 29:11.375
I think I prefer a real battle.
29:11.458 --> 29:13.833
I think I prefer the Kyoshi Warriors.
29:13.916 --> 29:16.958
Perhaps I should have accepted
Suki's offer.
29:17.041 --> 29:18.625
- When did she ask?
- Suki asked you?
29:18.708 --> 29:20.000
- Did she send a hawk--
- You going?
29:20.083 --> 29:23.500
No, it was before we got here,
and I didn't say yes, obviously.
29:23.583 --> 29:29.000
I just… thought it was nice
that she thought I was worthy.
29:39.375 --> 29:44.916
Well, as long as Toph is here to guide us,
we'll be okay.
29:46.083 --> 29:51.041
- It'll be like parties your parents host.
- Oh, no, Avatar, this will be much worse.
30:06.416 --> 30:08.833
It's customary
to enter the party in pairs.
30:23.750 --> 30:24.625
Yeah?
30:27.291 --> 30:28.250
You look…
30:30.250 --> 30:31.083
nice.
30:31.833 --> 30:32.750
So do you.
30:34.291 --> 30:35.958
Aang, no teeth.
30:37.625 --> 30:38.500
Right.
31:11.750 --> 31:16.666
How brave you are
to dress so rustically in the palace.
31:17.375 --> 31:19.500
Well, they actually told us to wear these…
31:19.583 --> 31:20.958
Right, yeah.
31:21.041 --> 31:22.250
May I?
31:22.333 --> 31:23.208
Oh…
31:25.291 --> 31:28.791
It's said a visit from the Avatar
brings good fortune.
31:28.875 --> 31:31.375
I just opened a lakefront estate.
31:31.458 --> 31:36.083
Perhaps, madam, if the Avatar
can find room in his schedule.
31:36.166 --> 31:38.375
We came here
to deliver a group of refugees.
31:38.458 --> 31:40.833
Their city was overtaken
by a Fire Nation army.
31:40.916 --> 31:43.166
Fire Nation still has an army?
31:43.250 --> 31:44.333
No!
31:44.416 --> 31:48.708
They stopped fighting after we drove them
from our walls in defeat.
31:48.791 --> 31:52.250
The Fire Nation hasn't stopped fighting
for a hundred years.
31:52.333 --> 31:54.541
All over the Earth Kingdom,
they're waging war.
31:54.625 --> 31:57.041
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
31:58.500 --> 32:02.208
General Sung, Supreme Commander
of the Forces of the Outer Wall.
32:02.291 --> 32:05.750
So you're the Avatar
who caused us so much trouble.
32:06.500 --> 32:07.625
Mmm.
32:07.708 --> 32:09.625
How do you do, General?
32:09.708 --> 32:13.625
We owe all our thanks to your soldiers
for granting us entry into the city.
32:14.208 --> 32:16.375
At least he's in the good company
of a Beifong.
32:16.458 --> 32:20.291
Yes, well, I have been teaching him
the ways of the city.
32:22.541 --> 32:25.791
General, you know
the Fire Nation hasn't stopped fighting.
32:25.875 --> 32:28.375
We have an urgent message
that we need to tell the king.
32:28.458 --> 32:31.500
After the failed siege,
the wall was fortified.
32:31.583 --> 32:35.208
Ba Sing Se will remain impenetrable
for centuries to come.
32:36.333 --> 32:39.708
Out there,
the Fire Nation is growing in power.
32:39.791 --> 32:42.500
What does "out there" have to do with us?
32:45.375 --> 32:47.583
It's best if you accelerate his education.
32:56.375 --> 33:01.666
I heard a terrible rumor
that your people eat sea prune?
33:02.958 --> 33:04.291
That's actually true.
33:04.375 --> 33:05.333
Oh.
33:05.416 --> 33:09.708
Well, here, our people drink cactus juice.
33:11.333 --> 33:12.166
Okay.
33:12.750 --> 33:14.458
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
33:14.958 --> 33:18.000
It's harvested from cacti
native to the Si Wong Desert
33:18.083 --> 33:21.375
that secretes the juice
as a defense mechanism against predators.
33:21.875 --> 33:23.791
It interferes with brain activity.
33:23.875 --> 33:26.458
Sometimes… permanently.
33:26.541 --> 33:29.000
Ah, this guy is such a bore.
33:30.958 --> 33:34.833
I'm Zei, Professor of Anthropology
at Ba Sing Se University.
33:34.916 --> 33:36.083
I'm Sokka.
33:36.958 --> 33:37.791
Uh…
33:38.291 --> 33:40.416
Oh, I believe
this is the traditional greeting
33:40.500 --> 33:42.500
for men of the Southern Water Tribe.
33:43.541 --> 33:44.583
Is that okay?
33:45.250 --> 33:46.083
Yeah, it's great!
34:09.875 --> 34:12.000
Those are the crates with the food.
34:45.875 --> 34:47.291
What's taking so long?
34:47.375 --> 34:49.291
Jet, there's a lot more food here.
34:49.375 --> 34:50.291
So?
34:50.791 --> 34:53.333
- We could feed the others.
- What others?
35:17.000 --> 35:18.916
We gotta go. Someone's coming.
35:41.291 --> 35:42.458
Thanks.
36:00.708 --> 36:02.291
Yoo-hoo! Toph Beifong!
36:03.500 --> 36:06.208
So glad you could come to Ba Sing Se.
36:06.291 --> 36:09.291
I'm sorry.
I don't believe we've met, Lady--
36:09.375 --> 36:13.541
Lord and Lady Ouyang.
We're friends of your father's.
36:14.416 --> 36:17.208
- Are you here to accept the proposal?
- Proposal?
36:17.291 --> 36:21.166
Our son's marriage proposal that was sent
to your parents' winter manor?
36:22.750 --> 36:23.916
Um…
36:24.000 --> 36:27.916
Perhaps I should send a hawk to my parents
to inquire further.
36:28.000 --> 36:31.416
Have they received
our son's portrait as well?
36:31.500 --> 36:35.250
His name is Pan Hua.
He manages our newest restaurant.
36:35.333 --> 36:36.166
Charming.
36:36.250 --> 36:37.291
Oh, yes.
36:37.375 --> 36:41.250
Isn't he the young man who managed
your former restaurant into the ground?
36:41.333 --> 36:44.625
Doesn't your son take a carriage
to the Middle Ring
36:44.708 --> 36:46.750
to study at a trade college?
36:46.833 --> 36:50.000
At least my son is getting an education,
unlike some people.
36:50.083 --> 36:52.541
Our son's restaurant
is the talk of the palace.
36:52.625 --> 36:57.291
We have, like, a spherical roof
with no internal pillars.
36:57.375 --> 37:02.083
That way, the pressure
is distributed evenly from the top down.
37:02.166 --> 37:04.125
The snow bricks support themselves.
37:04.208 --> 37:06.333
Wow. Domed ice houses.
37:06.416 --> 37:08.583
- Mm-hmm.
- Huh! So ingenious!
37:09.083 --> 37:12.041
See, we… we do everything practically.
37:12.125 --> 37:16.208
And what was the practical purpose
of domesticating the otter penguin?
37:17.250 --> 37:18.333
Uh…
37:19.708 --> 37:20.708
Companionship.
37:21.208 --> 37:23.375
- Ha! Well said.
- Yep.
37:23.875 --> 37:25.708
So you were
in the Northern Water Tribe, right?
37:25.791 --> 37:27.666
Oh, I have so many questions.
37:28.583 --> 37:29.666
Oh, about the North?
37:29.750 --> 37:32.708
Yes, I'm interested in
their spiritual leadership structure.
37:33.500 --> 37:34.333
Right.
37:34.416 --> 37:37.291
Now, I've read that they have
a patriarchal society,
37:37.375 --> 37:39.916
but that spiritual leadership
can be undertaken by women.
37:40.000 --> 37:41.833
And it feels like a little contradiction,
37:41.916 --> 37:47.166
except that the spiritual leader seems
to be chosen by the ocean or moon spirit.
37:47.250 --> 37:49.333
I suppose they don't really have a gender…
37:49.416 --> 37:50.500
Please don't.
37:50.583 --> 37:53.166
Please, you don't have to do this. Yue!
37:59.625 --> 38:00.500
Golden nettle.
38:01.666 --> 38:03.041
Lovely, no?
38:03.125 --> 38:05.541
The king cultivates them
in his private garden.
38:06.750 --> 38:08.291
Lovely, yes.
38:10.250 --> 38:12.875
They have tons
of medicinal properties too.
38:13.375 --> 38:16.166
People could use them.
People in the Lower Ring.
38:16.250 --> 38:17.208
I like how they smell.
38:34.000 --> 38:35.708
- Proposals?
- Mm-hmm.
38:35.791 --> 38:37.041
Who'd wanna marry her?
38:37.125 --> 38:39.000
What instrument could she even play?
38:39.083 --> 38:41.166
The dinner gong.
38:42.833 --> 38:45.458
These people are only after her fortune.
38:45.541 --> 38:47.500
If only the Beifongs had a son.
38:48.625 --> 38:49.708
Do you think her parents…
38:49.791 --> 38:50.750
Toph.
38:52.375 --> 38:54.166
Leave it, and don't make a scene.
38:54.750 --> 38:55.625
But they're being--
38:55.708 --> 38:58.000
I said don't make a scene, sugar queen.
38:58.583 --> 39:00.666
How embarrassing.
39:00.750 --> 39:02.875
Her makeup looks like a baboon's butt.
39:07.583 --> 39:08.500
Oh my God!
39:08.583 --> 39:10.625
What happened?
39:10.708 --> 39:11.583
My makeup!
39:11.666 --> 39:12.583
My makeup!
39:12.666 --> 39:13.958
Our makeup!
39:16.250 --> 39:18.875
Did you just bend their drinks
into their faces?
39:18.958 --> 39:21.750
Well, I'm not gonna let anyone talk
about my friend like that.
39:23.791 --> 39:24.750
Your friend?
39:25.916 --> 39:28.166
Yeah, Toph. You're my friend.
39:28.666 --> 39:32.500
We went through a lot to get here.
How could we not be friends?
39:33.625 --> 39:35.833
I mean, I've been kind of mean to you.
39:37.250 --> 39:38.708
Mostly, you just tell the truth.
39:41.083 --> 39:43.125
You just don't do it very nicely.
39:46.166 --> 39:47.083
Yeah.
39:47.833 --> 39:49.125
I don't. I'm…
39:49.625 --> 39:50.750
I'm not nice.
39:51.833 --> 39:53.625
That's my problem.
39:54.208 --> 39:55.833
I've been too nice lately!
39:56.583 --> 39:59.375
- Well, that's not quite what I was--
- Thank you, Katara.
39:59.458 --> 40:02.416
And hey, if you ever need me
to drop a big ol' rock on someone's head,
40:02.500 --> 40:04.083
just say the word.
40:05.333 --> 40:06.458
Uh…
40:11.291 --> 40:13.333
Toph, everybody's talking to me. I--
40:14.666 --> 40:17.083
I ran away from home,
like, a really comfortable home,
40:17.166 --> 40:18.625
to try and teach you.
40:18.708 --> 40:20.458
- I know.
- Be quiet.
40:21.208 --> 40:24.458
I crossed half the Earth Kingdom on foot
just to get here.
40:24.541 --> 40:26.791
- Well…
- To the city, which I hate.
40:26.875 --> 40:30.041
And I had to use my name,
which I never wanted to do again.
40:30.125 --> 40:35.166
And now every conniving sycophant
is socially climbing out of the walls
40:35.250 --> 40:37.666
to try and marry me,
which I don't wanna do.
40:38.250 --> 40:42.333
All to teach the Avatar to earthbend,
and you can't even kick a rock.
40:42.916 --> 40:44.541
- But--
- But what?
40:45.416 --> 40:46.375
I'll work harder.
40:47.333 --> 40:49.458
No. You won't.
40:50.375 --> 40:51.833
You wanna know why?
40:51.916 --> 40:53.333
Because I quit.
40:54.000 --> 40:55.541
- You can't quit.
- I can quit.
40:55.625 --> 40:57.666
You can't learn.
40:58.375 --> 41:01.458
How am I supposed to learn?
All you do is shout at me.
41:01.541 --> 41:04.333
Oh! Maybe it's 'cause you don't listen!
41:04.416 --> 41:07.083
No wonder it took you years
to learn how to waterbend.
41:07.166 --> 41:09.166
At least I had a good teacher for that.
41:09.250 --> 41:11.750
Oh, okay. So you think this is my fault?
41:12.333 --> 41:14.250
- Maybe.
- Maybe?
41:14.333 --> 41:17.041
Okay, well, maybe you'll never learn this.
41:17.125 --> 41:20.250
Maybe water and air is
all you'll ever bend.
41:20.333 --> 41:23.541
Maybe you're nothing but a half-atar.
41:24.083 --> 41:25.208
Enough!
41:31.625 --> 41:32.708
You did it.
41:33.500 --> 41:35.791
While we were arguing,
you held your ground.
41:36.666 --> 41:38.000
I did it.
41:38.083 --> 41:40.416
I held my ground, and I earthbent!
41:42.041 --> 41:44.333
I'm the greatest earthbending teacher
in the world!
41:46.041 --> 41:47.500
Here you are.
41:49.125 --> 41:50.083
Here I am.
41:52.500 --> 41:53.708
Are you okay?
41:55.791 --> 41:57.875
I messed it all up with Suki.
41:59.708 --> 42:00.750
Suki?
42:01.458 --> 42:02.583
No, Suki likes you.
42:02.666 --> 42:04.875
Yeah, she did, and I liked her.
42:04.958 --> 42:06.291
And then I just
42:07.500 --> 42:08.583
pushed her away!
42:08.666 --> 42:11.250
And I didn't even get to apologize
when she was
42:12.166 --> 42:13.250
right there.
42:14.416 --> 42:16.583
She was right there.
42:18.958 --> 42:20.875
I was about to tell her I was sorry.
42:20.958 --> 42:23.791
And before I could open my mouth,
a wall came up between us.
42:24.916 --> 42:27.708
She was here, and then she was gone.
42:29.250 --> 42:31.250
I don't know why I pushed her away.
42:33.458 --> 42:34.583
Sokka,
42:35.375 --> 42:37.291
why do you think you might have?
42:38.333 --> 42:39.375
Because…
42:42.833 --> 42:43.708
Yue.
42:46.541 --> 42:49.916
I didn't wanna lose Suki
the same way I lost Yue,
42:50.000 --> 42:51.541
but I lost her anyway.
42:52.541 --> 42:54.083
Why am I not over this?
42:54.833 --> 42:56.333
What is wrong with me?
43:00.250 --> 43:01.250
Sokka.
43:02.291 --> 43:04.250
That's not how grief works.
43:05.833 --> 43:07.666
So what? I'm just gonna be
screwed up forever,
43:07.750 --> 43:10.750
never knowing if something's
gonna tip me over the edge?
43:10.833 --> 43:12.125
I don't know.
43:18.000 --> 43:19.541
I'm not over Mom.
43:23.500 --> 43:26.750
There will never be a day
that I don't think about Mom.
43:31.333 --> 43:32.666
But I guess…
43:34.666 --> 43:36.375
that's why I've got you.
43:36.958 --> 43:38.250
And you've got me.
43:40.833 --> 43:43.583
Let's just talk about these things
from now on.
43:44.666 --> 43:45.583
Yeah.
43:48.791 --> 43:49.750
I'd like that.
43:53.708 --> 43:54.791
What is that?
43:58.458 --> 44:00.583
Um… it's cactus juice.
44:22.000 --> 44:22.916
Now's my chance.
44:23.000 --> 44:24.750
Wait, don't forget to bow.
44:29.250 --> 44:30.458
I'm Avatar Aang. I must--
44:30.541 --> 44:31.458
Step back.
44:32.750 --> 44:34.166
I must speak with--
44:34.250 --> 44:36.958
Step… back.
44:38.125 --> 44:39.458
Avatar Aang,
44:40.750 --> 44:43.791
you… you can't
approach the king like that.
44:46.041 --> 44:47.166
Come.
44:48.875 --> 44:50.958
I have a message
that the king needs to hear.
44:53.000 --> 44:55.000
Please, Long Feng. It's important.
44:57.208 --> 44:58.833
I'll ask if he'll see you.
45:00.625 --> 45:01.583
Thank you.
45:02.083 --> 45:02.958
Okay.
45:55.333 --> 45:56.416
Of course.
45:57.250 --> 45:58.125
Thank you.
46:00.125 --> 46:01.125
Here you go.
46:03.625 --> 46:05.375
Oh, bless you.
46:12.666 --> 46:13.625
Jet.
46:35.791 --> 46:38.083
It's okay. It's willow bark tea.
46:50.083 --> 46:51.333
It's bracing.
46:54.083 --> 46:55.583
But it'll do the job.
47:00.500 --> 47:01.958
You look different.
47:03.541 --> 47:04.458
Do I?
47:12.708 --> 47:14.666
Share these with the others.
47:18.041 --> 47:19.166
Thank you.
47:44.375 --> 47:45.625
A hundred years ago,
47:45.708 --> 47:48.875
the Fire Nation used the comet's power
to kill the Air Nomads.
47:48.958 --> 47:52.541
So it only makes sense
that they would do the same thing again.
47:52.625 --> 47:54.208
And it's on its way back.
47:54.291 --> 47:56.208
Our friend Sai has proof.
47:57.291 --> 47:59.083
This is grave indeed.
47:59.166 --> 48:02.750
Now you know why I need to tell
the Earth King as soon as possible.
48:08.375 --> 48:10.750
There is something
48:12.500 --> 48:14.333
you should know about the king.
48:15.041 --> 48:16.333
He is beloved.
48:16.833 --> 48:19.708
But he can be a difficult man,
48:19.791 --> 48:21.958
rigidly adhering to rituals
48:22.041 --> 48:25.125
and ruling Ba Sing Se
like it was his perfect domain.
48:25.208 --> 48:29.083
He'll close his mind to any news
that goes against his point of view.
48:29.583 --> 48:31.541
Just like the people at the party.
48:32.208 --> 48:35.000
It's like they don't even know
there's a war going on.
48:35.083 --> 48:36.291
Exactly.
48:36.791 --> 48:38.541
And this is because of the king.
48:39.041 --> 48:41.625
He forbids people to speak of war.
48:41.708 --> 48:42.958
And anyone who mentions it
48:43.041 --> 48:46.333
attracts the attention
of the king's guards, the Dai Li.
48:46.416 --> 48:49.541
They are his eyes and ears
everywhere in the city.
48:50.083 --> 48:51.833
There must be a way
to make him see the truth.
48:51.916 --> 48:53.583
I wish there were.
48:54.708 --> 48:56.458
He rules by divine right,
48:56.541 --> 48:58.958
believing that,
as long as the spirits will it,
48:59.041 --> 49:00.583
he is infallible.
49:04.416 --> 49:05.333
But…
49:07.041 --> 49:09.333
but you are a bridge to the spirits.
49:09.916 --> 49:10.833
He might listen to you.
49:10.916 --> 49:14.500
But you need to show him
that you care about the city.
49:14.583 --> 49:17.833
That everything you do
is for the good of Ba Sing Se.
49:18.791 --> 49:20.708
I could help you with that.
49:21.625 --> 49:23.166
So you're with me?
49:23.250 --> 49:26.166
Of course. Of course I'm with you.
49:26.875 --> 49:28.625
I live to serve Ba Sing Se.
49:29.916 --> 49:34.916
But because our king is so reluctant
to face uncomfortable truths,
49:36.041 --> 49:39.791
I've had to take on so much more
than any cultural minister has.
49:39.875 --> 49:41.625
And sometimes I…
49:43.166 --> 49:44.583
Sorry, I…
49:46.958 --> 49:48.458
I've said too much.
49:49.291 --> 49:51.125
No, Minister.
49:52.250 --> 49:53.166
It's okay.
49:54.958 --> 49:55.916
No.
49:57.041 --> 49:58.583
You're the Avatar.
49:59.833 --> 50:01.833
My burdens are nothing compared to yours.
50:06.333 --> 50:07.708
Sometimes,
50:08.500 --> 50:10.583
I feel like there's so much to do.
50:11.208 --> 50:13.875
And I can't even stop to breathe,
50:13.958 --> 50:15.583
because if I do,
50:15.666 --> 50:18.625
what if I miss something
50:18.708 --> 50:20.833
or fail the world
50:21.666 --> 50:22.625
again?
50:27.500 --> 50:28.708
It is
50:29.750 --> 50:30.708
isolating.
50:31.750 --> 50:32.750
Isn't it?
50:35.208 --> 50:36.916
When it gets to be too much…
50:39.416 --> 50:40.416
I talk to Appa.
50:43.208 --> 50:46.291
Does Appa have
any sessions available for me?
50:50.750 --> 50:51.666
I'll check.
50:58.333 --> 51:00.208
We will find a solution.
51:00.833 --> 51:01.833
Together.
51:03.458 --> 51:05.250
Okay, Avatar Aang?
51:05.750 --> 51:06.666
Yes.
51:07.958 --> 51:08.958
And
51:10.666 --> 51:11.750
it's just Aang.
51:13.083 --> 51:15.083
Okay. Aang.
51:38.875 --> 51:40.041
Thank you.
51:48.291 --> 51:52.458
So Long Feng said that if I integrated
into the city and contribute,
51:53.041 --> 51:55.041
the king would be more likely to listen.
51:55.125 --> 51:57.958
Okay. Yeah.
I'm not super sure about that guy.
52:00.291 --> 52:01.166
Oh, hello.
52:01.666 --> 52:02.833
Hey, when did you get back?
52:02.916 --> 52:05.208
I got tired, so I took a carriage.
52:05.291 --> 52:07.291
How did it go with the king?
52:08.166 --> 52:10.333
I didn't quite meet with the king,
52:10.416 --> 52:12.916
but Long Feng said
that he'd do everything in his power
52:13.000 --> 52:14.208
to help arrange a meeting.
52:14.291 --> 52:15.583
It's just gonna take some time.
52:18.083 --> 52:19.041
We're
52:19.875 --> 52:21.375
all on the ceiling now.
52:21.958 --> 52:24.916
Yeah, he's been like this for hours.
52:25.000 --> 52:29.250
Oh, he drank some… cactus juice?
52:29.333 --> 52:30.250
Oh!
52:31.375 --> 52:33.541
Drink cactus juice. It'll quench ya.
52:33.625 --> 52:36.416
Nothing's quenchier. It's the quenchiest.
52:36.500 --> 52:38.875
No, thank you. It's okay. No, thank you.
52:38.958 --> 52:40.583
Mmm.
52:40.666 --> 52:42.833
My… my… my…
52:43.916 --> 52:46.208
my snoozles.
52:46.291 --> 52:47.541
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
52:47.625 --> 52:50.000
Snoozles would be a good idea for you.
52:50.083 --> 52:51.041
For all of us.
52:51.125 --> 52:52.875
Yeah, we're gonna be here for a while,
52:52.958 --> 52:55.750
so we may as well get… comfortable.
52:55.833 --> 52:57.458
Yeah, not you.
52:57.541 --> 53:00.416
We have earthbending training
in the morning.
53:01.000 --> 53:02.041
What time?
53:03.958 --> 53:04.958
I'll wake you up.
53:05.041 --> 53:06.791
- Night.
- Night.
53:07.291 --> 53:08.166
Good night.
53:08.250 --> 53:10.708
It's a giant mushroom.
53:11.250 --> 53:13.333
Maybe it's friendly.
53:34.208 --> 53:35.208
Sai the mechanist.
53:37.250 --> 53:39.250
The king has invited you to Lake Laogai.
53:40.666 --> 53:43.291
Yes, of course.
I'd be happy to go wherever.
53:43.375 --> 53:44.250
Now.
