1
00:00:06,251 --> 00:00:08,251
[mysterious music playing]
2
00:00:17,959 --> 00:00:20,709
[Iroh] We spend so much time
hiding who we really are,
3
00:00:21,209 --> 00:00:24,251
making sure no one sees
the person we truly want to be.
4
00:00:25,043 --> 00:00:27,584
So it's hard to remember there was a time
5
00:00:27,584 --> 00:00:32,751
when we were truly excited
to show the world our true face.
6
00:00:33,584 --> 00:00:34,584
Very impressive.
7
00:00:36,334 --> 00:00:38,168
That uniform suits you well.
8
00:00:38,668 --> 00:00:41,668
Does it look right?
I had trouble with the shoulder guards.
9
00:00:44,418 --> 00:00:45,876
There. Perfect.
10
00:00:48,251 --> 00:00:49,751
- What... what is it?
- Nothing.
11
00:00:49,751 --> 00:00:50,876
Tell me.
12
00:00:51,501 --> 00:00:54,751
[sighs] Your gauntlets are laced
incorrectly, but no one will notice.
13
00:00:54,751 --> 00:00:55,959
What? Help me fix it!
14
00:00:58,376 --> 00:01:00,709
[Iroh] I remember
my first war council meeting.
15
00:01:00,709 --> 00:01:03,584
They were smaller affairs back then.
More private.
16
00:01:04,251 --> 00:01:07,293
Ozai, however, seems to enjoy
having an audience.
17
00:01:07,293 --> 00:01:09,459
Father says
he welcomes different opinions.
18
00:01:09,459 --> 00:01:14,126
I'd advise against testing that.
Best to observe and learn for now.
19
00:01:16,793 --> 00:01:17,793
There.
20
00:01:21,584 --> 00:01:22,584
How do I look?
21
00:01:23,793 --> 00:01:24,793
Like a prince.
22
00:01:29,293 --> 00:01:30,168
[exhales]
23
00:01:36,918 --> 00:01:39,084
Why are we off course?
Who changed the heading?
24
00:01:39,084 --> 00:01:41,876
[suspenseful music playing]
25
00:01:41,876 --> 00:01:45,209
- Lieutenant Jee, I asked you a question.
- We were given new orders.
26
00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:47,376
- New orders? By who?
- [Zhao] By me.
27
00:01:49,584 --> 00:01:55,001
We've been playing catch-up for too long.
I think it's time for a new strategy.
28
00:01:55,001 --> 00:01:56,334
You think?
29
00:01:57,751 --> 00:01:59,709
I am the one hunting the Avatar.
30
00:02:00,418 --> 00:02:02,334
I am in charge of this mission.
31
00:02:02,334 --> 00:02:05,001
I am the commander of this ship.
32
00:02:06,168 --> 00:02:07,251
And I
33
00:02:08,584 --> 00:02:09,918
am an admiral.
34
00:02:11,626 --> 00:02:13,876
Fire Lord Ozai saw fit to put me
35
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:18,126
in charge of all operations
related to the capture of the Avatar.
36
00:02:18,126 --> 00:02:20,751
Of course I welcome your assistance.
37
00:02:20,751 --> 00:02:22,668
In fact, I expect it.
38
00:02:22,668 --> 00:02:25,459
I'll need
all the resources at my disposal,
39
00:02:26,584 --> 00:02:28,043
no matter how minimal.
40
00:02:29,293 --> 00:02:30,376
I'll come by later
41
00:02:31,501 --> 00:02:36,793
to discuss a few personnel changes
I'd like to make.
42
00:02:37,668 --> 00:02:39,209
Until then, carry on.
43
00:02:45,376 --> 00:02:46,584
[Iroh] What's happened?
44
00:02:49,209 --> 00:02:51,293
[Zuko] Lieutenant Jee,
resume our original course.
45
00:02:54,293 --> 00:02:55,584
Did you hear me?
46
00:02:55,584 --> 00:02:57,876
Resume course!
47
00:02:59,376 --> 00:03:01,459
Do you know
what the punishment for mutiny is?
48
00:03:01,459 --> 00:03:04,126
I do, and that's why
I can't do what you say.
49
00:03:04,876 --> 00:03:07,209
Admiral Zhao was very clear
with these orders
50
00:03:07,209 --> 00:03:09,334
and what would happen
if we didn't follow them.
51
00:03:15,043 --> 00:03:18,793
Are you seriously gonna let
this spineless slug tell us what to do?
52
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:21,209
He doesn't know what's at stake!
53
00:03:22,876 --> 00:03:26,626
We can't let him come in and take it away.
Not after everything we've been through.
54
00:03:39,709 --> 00:03:42,834
[Iroh] For the last three years,
we've only had each other,
55
00:03:42,834 --> 00:03:44,668
and that's still true.
56
00:03:45,251 --> 00:03:48,418
Only those of us on this boat
know what it's been like.
57
00:03:49,209 --> 00:03:51,876
Zhao is not the one
who deserves your loyalty.
58
00:03:53,168 --> 00:03:54,751
- Zuko is.
- [Jee] Loyalty?
59
00:03:54,751 --> 00:03:59,001
General, with all due respect, your nephew
doesn't know the meaning of the word.
60
00:03:59,001 --> 00:04:00,709
If he did, he would've shown us,
61
00:04:00,709 --> 00:04:03,334
the people who've been with him
night and day for three years,
62
00:04:03,334 --> 00:04:04,918
a lot more respect.
63
00:04:04,918 --> 00:04:09,418
Instead, we've had to put up
with his insults and abuse and tantrums.
64
00:04:10,043 --> 00:04:11,959
He doesn't care
what we've had to sacrifice,
65
00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:14,168
because he's never had
to sacrifice anything.
66
00:04:14,168 --> 00:04:17,376
If you ask anyone here,
they'll tell you, "He may be a prince,
67
00:04:17,376 --> 00:04:19,084
but he's not our prince."
68
00:04:21,626 --> 00:04:22,459
Sir.
69
00:04:31,001 --> 00:04:33,043
I know Zuko has his rough edges.
70
00:04:34,084 --> 00:04:37,459
But you must understand
he's been through a lot.
71
00:04:38,293 --> 00:04:44,126
And he knows far more about sacrifice
than you can ever know.
72
00:04:54,293 --> 00:04:56,293
[dramatic music playing]
73
00:05:02,834 --> 00:05:04,834
[mysterious music playing]
74
00:05:12,459 --> 00:05:14,543
[suspenseful music playing]
75
00:05:52,793 --> 00:05:53,959
- [door opens]
- [gasps]
76
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:55,876
[footsteps approaching]
77
00:06:05,084 --> 00:06:07,418
[Aang] Greetings, wise sages.
I'm glad to see you.
78
00:06:08,918 --> 00:06:12,126
Uh, my name is Aang, and I'm here
to visit the shrine of Avatar Roku.
79
00:06:12,918 --> 00:06:13,834
You see,
80
00:06:14,626 --> 00:06:15,709
I'm the Avatar.
81
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:16,793
We know.
82
00:06:18,709 --> 00:06:19,959
- [Aang] Wait!
- [man grunts]
83
00:06:20,876 --> 00:06:23,293
[Aang] You're supposed to be men of peace!
84
00:06:24,918 --> 00:06:26,084
[men grunt]
85
00:06:26,084 --> 00:06:27,584
[man] After him!
86
00:06:27,584 --> 00:06:29,709
[suspenseful music intensifies]
87
00:06:29,709 --> 00:06:30,793
[Aang grunts]
88
00:06:31,793 --> 00:06:33,376
I'm a friend.
89
00:06:38,709 --> 00:06:41,043
This will take us
to Avatar Roku's shrine. Quickly.
90
00:06:41,834 --> 00:06:43,543
[man] He must be close.
91
00:06:43,543 --> 00:06:44,876
[man 2] Search everywhere!
92
00:06:46,501 --> 00:06:48,501
[dramatic music playing]
93
00:06:55,376 --> 00:06:56,959
Whoa. Easy, girl.
94
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,168
- [creature sniffs]
- Caught a scent, have we?
95
00:06:59,168 --> 00:07:00,459
[creature grunts]
96
00:07:03,459 --> 00:07:05,043
Okay, Nyla. Let's go.
97
00:07:08,501 --> 00:07:10,043
My name is Shyu.
98
00:07:10,043 --> 00:07:14,501
I believe the Avatar
represents not any one kingdom
99
00:07:14,501 --> 00:07:16,751
but the hope of a unified world.
100
00:07:18,001 --> 00:07:21,168
Sadly, the Great Sage
and the others believe
101
00:07:21,168 --> 00:07:24,043
the Fire Lord
is their true spiritual leader.
102
00:07:24,793 --> 00:07:26,459
They have lost their way.
103
00:07:26,459 --> 00:07:30,043
So all of this belonged to Roku?
104
00:07:30,626 --> 00:07:32,543
[Shyu] These are relics
from previous Avatars
105
00:07:32,543 --> 00:07:35,251
that my grandfather gathered
for safekeeping.
106
00:07:35,751 --> 00:07:36,876
[door closes]
107
00:07:36,876 --> 00:07:39,126
[footsteps approaching]
108
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:41,043
[Aang] I need to make contact
with Avatar Roku.
109
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:43,709
He's the only one
who can tell me how to save my friends.
110
00:07:46,084 --> 00:07:48,209
I will hold them off for as long as I can.
111
00:07:53,501 --> 00:07:54,626
Step aside.
112
00:07:54,626 --> 00:07:59,126
Great Sage, this boy's the Avatar.
He is a hope for the world.
113
00:07:59,793 --> 00:08:01,959
Remember the teachings of Avatar Roku.
114
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,334
Fire is not meant
to dominate the other elements.
115
00:08:05,918 --> 00:08:07,626
It should exist in balance with them.
116
00:08:07,626 --> 00:08:11,709
The only one who can provide balance
is Fire Lord Ozai.
117
00:08:11,709 --> 00:08:14,293
He will unify the world, not the Avatar.
118
00:08:14,293 --> 00:08:17,751
And you have no idea
how powerful he will soon become.
119
00:08:20,001 --> 00:08:23,168
Now, for the last time,
120
00:08:23,168 --> 00:08:24,543
step aside.
121
00:08:26,084 --> 00:08:27,251
I can't do that.
122
00:08:28,251 --> 00:08:32,418
Then you shall burn
along with the rest of the nonbelievers.
123
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:40,918
[mystical whirring]
124
00:08:42,751 --> 00:08:46,834
[Roku] Who dares disturb
the peace of the Avatar?
125
00:08:48,126 --> 00:08:50,584
Uh, it's me. Aang.
126
00:08:50,584 --> 00:08:54,918
Is it not customary
to bow before your elders?
127
00:08:56,959 --> 00:08:59,334
And to avert your eyes?
128
00:09:01,793 --> 00:09:03,584
And hop on one leg?
129
00:09:05,584 --> 00:09:08,751
[laughing]
130
00:09:09,376 --> 00:09:10,751
Forgive me!
131
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:12,251
I couldn't resist.
132
00:09:12,251 --> 00:09:13,959
It's good to see you, Aang,
133
00:09:13,959 --> 00:09:16,418
but what took you so long?
134
00:09:16,418 --> 00:09:19,001
I thought you would come
to seek my advice sooner.
135
00:09:19,584 --> 00:09:20,918
[Aang] Avatar Kyoshi told me
136
00:09:20,918 --> 00:09:23,001
that I need to figure things out
on my own.
137
00:09:23,001 --> 00:09:24,668
That it was part of my journey.
138
00:09:24,668 --> 00:09:26,543
Sounds like her.
139
00:09:26,543 --> 00:09:28,584
Kyoshi has always been kind of...
140
00:09:29,709 --> 00:09:30,834
[grunts]
141
00:09:31,876 --> 00:09:32,876
[chuckles]
142
00:09:32,876 --> 00:09:36,751
I thought you'd all be like that.
Aren't Avatars incarnations of each other?
143
00:09:36,751 --> 00:09:40,418
We share the same spark,
but we are our own people.
144
00:09:41,001 --> 00:09:42,043
I'm different from Kyoshi,
145
00:09:42,043 --> 00:09:44,584
just as you are different
from either of us.
146
00:09:45,084 --> 00:09:49,209
For instance, what did Kyoshi tell you
the role of the Avatar was?
147
00:09:49,209 --> 00:09:52,543
She said I need to be
a fierce, merciless warrior.
148
00:09:52,543 --> 00:09:57,209
Yes, there are times when the Avatar
must resort to force and intimidation,
149
00:09:57,209 --> 00:09:59,418
but in addition to being a warrior,
150
00:09:59,418 --> 00:10:02,001
the Avatar must also be a diplomat.
151
00:10:02,584 --> 00:10:06,293
So we can solve the world's problems
without hurting anyone?
152
00:10:06,293 --> 00:10:11,209
We can try,
but there are consequences if we fail.
153
00:10:11,876 --> 00:10:15,501
Painful... consequences.
154
00:10:18,501 --> 00:10:22,459
But like Kyoshi,
I am here to aid you in your journey.
155
00:10:22,459 --> 00:10:23,793
Anything you need.
156
00:10:23,793 --> 00:10:25,209
It has to do with Koh.
157
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:27,584
Anything but that.
158
00:10:27,584 --> 00:10:29,959
- You don't understand--
- No, you don't understand.
159
00:10:30,584 --> 00:10:32,334
Koh is a predatory spirit
160
00:10:32,334 --> 00:10:35,001
who can hurt you in ways
you can't imagine.
161
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:36,626
Just ask Avatar Kuruk.
162
00:10:36,626 --> 00:10:39,501
I don't have a choice,
and I'm running out of time.
163
00:10:39,501 --> 00:10:42,418
He's captured my friends,
and if I don't do something,
164
00:10:42,418 --> 00:10:43,668
they'll be lost forever.
165
00:10:44,584 --> 00:10:45,459
Please.
166
00:10:45,459 --> 00:10:47,376
I heard you defeated him once.
167
00:10:47,376 --> 00:10:48,793
No, I never defeated him.
168
00:10:49,584 --> 00:10:52,043
I only managed to take something from him.
169
00:10:52,043 --> 00:10:56,418
[Koh] Perhaps you've come
to return what you stole from me.
170
00:10:56,418 --> 00:10:57,959
What did you take?
171
00:11:02,043 --> 00:11:06,626
[Roku] A totem that represents something
that Koh needs and cannot forget.
172
00:11:07,126 --> 00:11:09,418
The pendant belonged
to the Mother of Faces,
173
00:11:09,418 --> 00:11:13,876
an ancient spirit
who crafted faces for all living beings.
174
00:11:15,668 --> 00:11:20,293
It's because of her
that identity came into this world.
175
00:11:20,293 --> 00:11:21,418
And she
176
00:11:22,126 --> 00:11:23,209
is Koh's mother.
177
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:26,459
Koh longs for the same thing we all do.
178
00:11:27,543 --> 00:11:28,668
Family.
179
00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:29,668
[Aang] A totem?
180
00:11:31,751 --> 00:11:34,084
Sounds like something
he'd be willing to trade for.
181
00:11:35,168 --> 00:11:36,459
Thank you, Roku.
182
00:11:37,418 --> 00:11:38,626
Aang!
183
00:11:39,168 --> 00:11:41,168
I hope that you're able
to save your friends.
184
00:11:41,168 --> 00:11:44,293
But the truth is,
for the Avatar, friends can be...
185
00:11:46,501 --> 00:11:47,626
a liability.
186
00:11:48,209 --> 00:11:52,126
The Avatar has to make
the impossible choices,
187
00:11:52,126 --> 00:11:55,251
placing the world's needs
ahead of your needs.
188
00:11:55,251 --> 00:11:57,626
On that, Kyoshi and I agree.
189
00:11:58,209 --> 00:11:59,418
Trust me.
190
00:12:00,293 --> 00:12:02,918
It'll save you and the ones you love
191
00:12:03,626 --> 00:12:04,584
a lot of pain.
192
00:12:04,584 --> 00:12:06,084
[echoes] ...a lot of pain.
193
00:12:06,793 --> 00:12:08,793
[emotional music playing]
194
00:12:38,043 --> 00:12:40,251
[mysterious music playing]
195
00:12:42,918 --> 00:12:44,501
[Aang] What happened to them?
196
00:12:53,459 --> 00:12:55,418
[groans softly]
197
00:12:57,418 --> 00:12:58,751
Paralyzed.
198
00:12:58,751 --> 00:13:00,834
[distorted whirring]
199
00:13:02,209 --> 00:13:03,876
[creature snarling]
200
00:13:09,584 --> 00:13:11,084
Sh!
201
00:13:12,001 --> 00:13:15,293
[distorted echoing]
Everything's gonna be fine.
202
00:13:18,459 --> 00:13:19,668
[bird chirping]
203
00:13:30,334 --> 00:13:34,168
So you're the Avatar, huh?
Not sure what all the fuss is about.
204
00:13:34,918 --> 00:13:36,168
You need to let me go.
205
00:13:36,168 --> 00:13:38,876
No, really. You need to let me go.
206
00:13:38,876 --> 00:13:41,918
People are depending on me.
You don't know what's at stake.
207
00:13:41,918 --> 00:13:45,834
I've heard the stories
about how you're gonna save the world.
208
00:13:49,834 --> 00:13:50,834
Here's the thing.
209
00:13:51,793 --> 00:13:53,418
Some of us don't need saving.
210
00:13:53,418 --> 00:13:56,001
Some of us
have got this world figured out.
211
00:13:57,001 --> 00:13:59,043
You got your Firebenders
and your Earthbenders
212
00:13:59,043 --> 00:14:00,793
and your whatever-benders,
213
00:14:01,543 --> 00:14:03,209
and they all want something.
214
00:14:04,001 --> 00:14:05,793
They're all willing to fight to get it.
215
00:14:06,293 --> 00:14:10,543
So if you're smart, you just sit back
and wait for the dust to clear
216
00:14:10,543 --> 00:14:13,209
and then pick through broken pieces
for the leftovers.
217
00:14:17,876 --> 00:14:21,043
Far as I'm concerned,
world's just fine the way it is.
218
00:14:21,751 --> 00:14:24,584
[birds warble]
219
00:14:25,418 --> 00:14:27,251
Time's up, Avatar.
220
00:14:34,251 --> 00:14:35,126
[Zuko] You did it.
221
00:14:35,668 --> 00:14:37,168
You actually got him.
222
00:14:39,251 --> 00:14:40,876
Feel free to count it.
223
00:14:44,126 --> 00:14:46,251
I trust you. You know why?
224
00:14:46,251 --> 00:14:49,001
Because if there's any missing,
you'll come after us?
225
00:14:49,918 --> 00:14:52,084
Because you're so cute.
226
00:14:53,251 --> 00:14:54,251
[giggles]
227
00:14:55,709 --> 00:14:58,709
Oh, and careful.
This one's got a lot of heat on him.
228
00:14:58,709 --> 00:15:00,793
A bunch of hunters
have been sniffing around.
229
00:15:00,793 --> 00:15:02,418
Folks not to be messed with.
230
00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:04,668
See you around, Avatar.
231
00:15:06,334 --> 00:15:07,543
[thunder rumbles]
232
00:15:10,751 --> 00:15:14,751
Please just let me do what I have to do,
and I swear I'll come back.
233
00:15:15,334 --> 00:15:18,751
My friends are in danger,
and I'm the only one who can save them.
234
00:15:20,251 --> 00:15:23,543
If I don't return soon,
I'll lose them forever.
235
00:15:25,626 --> 00:15:28,084
Why? Why don't you listen to me?
236
00:15:29,084 --> 00:15:31,459
Do you know what it's like
to have people depending on you?
237
00:15:31,459 --> 00:15:33,918
To have someone's life in your hands?
238
00:15:33,918 --> 00:15:34,876
I do.
239
00:15:34,876 --> 00:15:37,501
Then please let me save them!
240
00:15:39,168 --> 00:15:40,043
No.
241
00:15:43,668 --> 00:15:45,668
You couldn't have always been this way.
242
00:15:46,168 --> 00:15:48,084
What happened to you?
243
00:15:50,543 --> 00:15:53,668
[Li] The Earth Kingdom's forces
are concentrated along the southern coast.
244
00:15:53,668 --> 00:15:56,626
We tried flanking them,
but they keep lengthening the line.
245
00:15:57,126 --> 00:15:58,626
[man] How about a pincer move?
246
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:02,584
They're anchored by cliffs.
They can outflank any attacks.
247
00:16:02,584 --> 00:16:03,501
What would you do?
248
00:16:03,501 --> 00:16:05,501
- Your Highness, I would suggest--
- [Ozai] Not you.
249
00:16:06,459 --> 00:16:07,293
Zuko.
250
00:16:08,668 --> 00:16:09,584
What would you do?
251
00:16:15,668 --> 00:16:16,584
Um...
252
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:21,043
Horns tactic. Enveloping flanks,
leaving an escape route to draw them out.
253
00:16:21,043 --> 00:16:24,834
Didn't you hear the general?
They're protected by cliffs on one side.
254
00:16:27,626 --> 00:16:29,959
Tundra tanks to come over the top.
255
00:16:29,959 --> 00:16:32,043
They're Earthbenders.
256
00:16:32,043 --> 00:16:35,251
Our tanks would be
buried under rocks in seconds.
257
00:16:36,584 --> 00:16:37,418
I...
258
00:16:39,793 --> 00:16:41,501
- I...
- [sighs]
259
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:42,501
General.
260
00:16:44,459 --> 00:16:47,459
[Li] We could advance a division... here.
261
00:16:48,001 --> 00:16:50,376
With the enemy's firepower
focused on that diversion,
262
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:54,418
we can launch pinning attacks
here... and here.
263
00:16:55,751 --> 00:16:58,501
If you send them into the heart
of their forces, how will they retreat?
264
00:16:59,668 --> 00:17:00,501
They won't.
265
00:17:00,501 --> 00:17:01,876
But they'll be lost.
266
00:17:05,584 --> 00:17:07,334
You're gonna sacrifice them.
267
00:17:08,209 --> 00:17:10,543
Sacrifice is a part of war.
268
00:17:11,959 --> 00:17:13,334
[somber music playing]
269
00:17:13,334 --> 00:17:15,501
What division do you suggest?
270
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:18,043
The 41st. They're mostly new recruits.
271
00:17:18,043 --> 00:17:19,293
They're expendable.
272
00:17:21,459 --> 00:17:22,376
[Ozai] Good.
273
00:17:26,126 --> 00:17:28,126
[indistinct chatter]
274
00:17:34,418 --> 00:17:37,959
This isn't something
you learn in a textbook.
275
00:17:38,959 --> 00:17:42,251
Little boys should know better
than to play at war.
276
00:17:46,459 --> 00:17:47,918
It's a terrible plan.
277
00:17:49,959 --> 00:17:51,001
What did you say?
278
00:17:55,043 --> 00:17:58,751
I said... it's a terrible plan!
279
00:18:00,168 --> 00:18:02,251
Soldiers are gonna die, and for what?
280
00:18:02,918 --> 00:18:04,959
It's unworthy of a Fire Nation officer.
281
00:18:04,959 --> 00:18:06,418
You dare question--
282
00:18:06,418 --> 00:18:07,751
Enough!
283
00:18:08,543 --> 00:18:10,793
There is only one way to resolve this.
284
00:18:12,834 --> 00:18:13,876
Agni Kai.
285
00:18:13,876 --> 00:18:15,959
[suspenseful music swells]
286
00:18:30,751 --> 00:18:31,959
Someone's out there.
287
00:18:32,459 --> 00:18:33,918
[rustling]
288
00:18:35,501 --> 00:18:37,209
[suspenseful music playing]
289
00:18:39,209 --> 00:18:42,376
[soldiers grunt]
290
00:18:43,126 --> 00:18:45,376
Let us through! Do you know who I am?
291
00:18:45,376 --> 00:18:46,543
[Zhao] Of course we do.
292
00:18:48,709 --> 00:18:52,793
Just as we all know
you're in defiance of my orders,
293
00:18:52,793 --> 00:18:57,959
which means that by disrespecting me,
you're dishonoring your father,
294
00:18:57,959 --> 00:19:02,543
which, I guess, shouldn't be surprising,
given the stories I've heard.
295
00:19:04,584 --> 00:19:05,793
We'll take the Avatar.
296
00:19:05,793 --> 00:19:07,043
Over my dead body.
297
00:19:10,293 --> 00:19:11,126
Tempting.
298
00:19:12,626 --> 00:19:13,543
However...
299
00:19:18,501 --> 00:19:19,626
The Yuyan Archers.
300
00:19:20,209 --> 00:19:23,043
Ozai was gracious enough
to lend them to me.
301
00:19:23,043 --> 00:19:28,168
It's said
they can shoot the wings off a glowfly
302
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:30,126
from a thousand paces.
303
00:19:31,418 --> 00:19:32,251
I imagine...
304
00:19:35,251 --> 00:19:37,543
this shouldn't be
much of a challenge for them.
305
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:56,084
Where will you take him?
306
00:19:57,668 --> 00:19:59,668
Pohuai Stronghold for the night.
307
00:19:59,668 --> 00:20:01,543
Then straight to Capital City.
308
00:20:01,543 --> 00:20:05,418
I'm sure the Fire Lord
is eager to take possession of his prize.
309
00:20:05,418 --> 00:20:09,626
He's been waiting a long time,
and I don't want him to be disappointed
310
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:13,751
any more than he already has been.
311
00:20:22,543 --> 00:20:25,084
If we take the Eastern Pass,
we can make it to Pohuai by nightfall.
312
00:20:25,084 --> 00:20:26,834
- Prince Zuko.
- Watch out for the Archers.
313
00:20:26,834 --> 00:20:29,084
But Zhao will likely station them
by the Avatar--
314
00:20:29,084 --> 00:20:30,376
[Iroh] Zuko!
315
00:20:30,376 --> 00:20:33,084
Pohuai Stronghold is impenetrable.
316
00:20:33,584 --> 00:20:36,001
Why do you think
Zhao told us he was going there?
317
00:20:36,584 --> 00:20:39,001
He knows attacking it would be suicide.
318
00:20:39,001 --> 00:20:41,626
Entire armies have tried and failed.
319
00:20:41,626 --> 00:20:45,834
Not only that, but Pohuai lies
inside Fire Nation borders.
320
00:20:45,834 --> 00:20:48,001
Going there would violate your banishment.
321
00:20:49,168 --> 00:20:52,376
- I don't care!
- But Ozai does, and if he finds out--
322
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:54,459
- But the Avatar--
- He's lost!
323
00:20:55,501 --> 00:20:57,668
- For now.
- [Zuko yells]
324
00:20:57,668 --> 00:20:59,834
[Iroh] Right now, Zhao has the upper hand.
325
00:20:59,834 --> 00:21:04,418
But sooner or later, he'll make a mistake,
and that's when we can make our move.
326
00:21:04,418 --> 00:21:05,709
Until then,
327
00:21:06,709 --> 00:21:07,876
patience.
328
00:21:14,584 --> 00:21:16,584
[dramatic music playing]
329
00:21:27,918 --> 00:21:28,959
[door opens]
330
00:21:28,959 --> 00:21:30,209
[Zhao] Make sure you get this.
331
00:21:30,209 --> 00:21:33,334
The Fire Lord will wanna know
all the details of the Avatar's capture.
332
00:21:33,334 --> 00:21:37,418
Make it clear
I spared no effort in securing him.
333
00:21:38,043 --> 00:21:41,126
And we should add a few thoughts
from the Avatar himself.
334
00:21:41,626 --> 00:21:44,709
If not for the Fire Lord,
then for posterity.
335
00:21:45,209 --> 00:21:46,209
Now,
336
00:21:47,709 --> 00:21:48,959
Avatar,
337
00:21:48,959 --> 00:21:52,168
had you heard of my name
before your capture,
338
00:21:52,168 --> 00:21:53,668
or was this the first time?
339
00:21:53,668 --> 00:21:55,751
Please. You have to let me go.
340
00:21:55,751 --> 00:21:58,793
No, no. There are four guards, not three,
341
00:21:58,793 --> 00:22:03,418
and both his hands
and his feet are shackled.
342
00:22:03,418 --> 00:22:07,001
- Make sure you get it right.
- There are innocent lives at stake!
343
00:22:07,001 --> 00:22:09,501
I can't let everyone down again.
344
00:22:11,834 --> 00:22:12,834
Not again.
345
00:22:17,168 --> 00:22:18,293
If I were you,
346
00:22:19,584 --> 00:22:21,876
I'd be thinking less about my past
347
00:22:22,501 --> 00:22:24,043
and more about my future.
348
00:22:25,126 --> 00:22:27,084
It's not my future I'm worried about.
349
00:22:28,126 --> 00:22:28,959
Really?
350
00:22:30,376 --> 00:22:32,626
I mean, I'd worry a little.
351
00:22:33,626 --> 00:22:35,459
Oh, you won't be killed.
352
00:22:35,459 --> 00:22:37,293
If you die, you'll just be reborn.
353
00:22:37,293 --> 00:22:39,876
We'd have to begin our search
for the Avatar all over again,
354
00:22:39,876 --> 00:22:42,209
so... you'll live.
355
00:22:44,001 --> 00:22:45,209
Though not well.
356
00:22:45,834 --> 00:22:46,793
[chuckles]
357
00:22:48,709 --> 00:22:49,626
Well...
358
00:22:57,751 --> 00:22:58,584
[huffs]
359
00:22:58,584 --> 00:23:00,293
[foreboding music playing]
360
00:23:05,043 --> 00:23:08,751
Blow all the hot air you want.
It won't change your fate.
361
00:23:11,543 --> 00:23:13,751
What are you doing? Don't write that down.
362
00:23:15,584 --> 00:23:16,751
[door opens]
363
00:23:19,709 --> 00:23:24,168
We are the loyal sons
and daughters of fire,
364
00:23:25,126 --> 00:23:28,043
the superior element.
365
00:23:28,043 --> 00:23:33,043
Until now, only one thing
stood in our path to victory.
366
00:23:34,168 --> 00:23:35,626
The Avatar.
367
00:23:35,626 --> 00:23:41,501
And today, we've done something
no one has been able to do.
368
00:23:42,084 --> 00:23:46,376
We have captured the Avatar!
369
00:23:46,376 --> 00:23:48,418
[cheering]
370
00:23:48,418 --> 00:23:50,959
This is just the first step.
371
00:23:50,959 --> 00:23:54,793
There will be mighty battles to be fought.
372
00:23:55,334 --> 00:23:56,418
But not tonight.
373
00:23:56,418 --> 00:23:57,668
Tonight,
374
00:23:58,834 --> 00:24:02,709
we will celebrate!
375
00:24:03,459 --> 00:24:08,793
We will praise the glory
of the Fire Nation!
376
00:24:17,793 --> 00:24:19,959

Whoa.
381
00:24:50,251 --> 00:24:51,876
[sentry] Did you get everything?
382
00:24:51,876 --> 00:24:54,918
[driver] You know it.
As much wine as I could haul.
383
00:24:58,251 --> 00:25:00,251
[sentry] Gonna be some night, huh?
384
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:05,418
Let's hope there's less firespitting
than Ahn's birthday.
385
00:25:05,418 --> 00:25:07,834
[chuckles] My eyebrows
only just grew back.

00:25:07,834 --> 00:25:09,668
[driver chuckles]
387
00:25:22,334 --> 00:25:24,043
- [sentry] All clear.
- [sentry 2] Open gate!
388
00:25:25,209 --> 00:25:26,668
[gate opens]

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct chatter]
392
00:25:51,834 --> 00:25:52,959
[man] He's got the goods.
393
00:25:52,959 --> 00:25:55,751
[man 2] Man, am I happy
to see your ugly butt.
394
00:25:55,751 --> 00:25:57,626

Who are you?
416
00:27:31,459 --> 00:27:33,543
Right. Run now, talk later.

Make sure to include
the full transcript of my speech,
421
00:28:01,668 --> 00:28:04,668
but change "loyal" to "faithful."
422
00:28:04,668 --> 00:28:05,834
It sounds more personal.
423
00:28:05,834 --> 00:28:11,126
Also, make sure the Great Sage
has everything he needs for his research.
424

[indistinct chatter]
428
00:28:34,959 --> 00:28:37,001
The Avatar has escaped!

- [bell clanging]
- [man] The Avatar's escaped!
430
00:28:38,876 --> 00:28:41,418
- There! On the wall!
- [Zhao] Don't let him get to the gate!
431
00:28:42,334 --> 00:28:44,376
[man 2] The Avatar! Stop him!

[Zhao] Hold your fire!

I need the Avatar... alive.
458
00:30:25,626 --> 00:30:27,501

Open the gate!

[soldier] Sir!
463
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:45,793
Do it!
464
00:30:46,376 --> 00:30:47,334
Now!
465
00:30:48,084 --> 00:30:49,293

Do you have a shot?

00:31:24,751 --> 00:31:25,668
Take him out.

and recover the Avatar!
473
00:31:49,834 --> 00:31:50,668
Now!

00:32:30,334 --> 00:32:31,501
[soldier] Check over there!
480
00:32:32,043 --> 00:32:33,334
[soldier 2] Did you see anything?
481
00:32:33,334 --> 00:32:34,793
[soldier 3] Sir, footprints!
482
00:32:34,793 --> 00:32:35,876

00:32:41,418 --> 00:32:42,751
[Zuko] I have a small boat nearby.
485
00:32:45,376 --> 00:32:48,501
We can't go anywhere.
Not with those soldiers still out there.
486
00:32:50,209 --> 00:32:51,418
[soldier 5] This way!
487
00:32:51,418 --> 00:32:52,918
You shouldn't try to move.
488
00:32:54,709 --> 00:32:55,668
You're hurt.
489
00:33:00,043 --> 00:33:02,084
- I'm trying to help.
- I don't need your help.
490
00:33:03,876 --> 00:33:04,751
Fine.
491
00:33:05,501 --> 00:33:06,543
Have it your way.
492
00:33:24,293 --> 00:33:25,418
What?
493
00:33:25,418 --> 00:33:26,418
Nothing.
494
00:33:30,751 --> 00:33:31,793
[groans]
495
00:33:33,251 --> 00:33:35,126
Can I ask you something?
496
00:33:36,043 --> 00:33:37,834
It might be a little personal.
497
00:33:41,918 --> 00:33:43,834
Goat hair or rabbit?
498
00:33:46,501 --> 00:33:49,668
Your calligraphy brush.
Goat hair or rabbit?
499
00:33:50,709 --> 00:33:54,959
Your characters are so neat.
I mean, I could never get mine like that.
500
00:33:54,959 --> 00:33:58,709
Monks used to say lemur droppings
were more legible than my brush strokes.
501
00:34:06,918 --> 00:34:07,793
Look,
502
00:34:08,876 --> 00:34:11,126
I know I shouldn't have
taken your notebook,
503
00:34:11,709 --> 00:34:12,959
and I'm sorry.
504
00:34:14,626 --> 00:34:17,001
It's been a lifesaver. Really.
505
00:34:17,543 --> 00:34:19,668
You have information
on all the past Avatars
506
00:34:19,668 --> 00:34:21,501
that no one else has.
507
00:34:23,334 --> 00:34:26,668
All the Air Nomad monks, they're all gone.
508
00:34:27,751 --> 00:34:29,584
So all I had was your notebook.
509
00:34:31,084 --> 00:34:33,626
I can't tell you
how many nights I stayed up reading it.
510
00:34:34,959 --> 00:34:35,876
You helped me a lot.
511
00:34:37,043 --> 00:34:39,793
I mean, it helped me a lot.
512
00:34:44,709 --> 00:34:46,084
[thunder rumbles]
513
00:34:52,418 --> 00:34:53,376
Goat hair.
514
00:34:54,126 --> 00:34:55,751
It's stiffer, more control.
515
00:34:57,376 --> 00:34:59,876
My teachers
made me practice every morning.
516
00:35:01,001 --> 00:35:02,459
I wasn't allowed to do fight training
517
00:35:02,459 --> 00:35:05,793
until I had done 100 vertical strokes
and 100 horizontal.
518
00:35:05,793 --> 00:35:06,918
Me too!
519
00:35:07,668 --> 00:35:10,584
Except mine were for spiritual studies.
520
00:35:10,584 --> 00:35:14,126
A lot of the time, when I was supposed
to be meditating, I was actually sleeping.
521
00:35:14,126 --> 00:35:17,668
I always got caught.
Probably didn't help that I snored.
522
00:35:25,918 --> 00:35:28,876
Those guys out there, they're Fire Nation.
523
00:35:29,501 --> 00:35:30,501
Yes.
524
00:35:31,084 --> 00:35:33,959
So they're on your side.
Why are you fighting them?
525
00:35:33,959 --> 00:35:35,126
They're not on my side.
526
00:35:36,543 --> 00:35:39,709
But they will be.
When I capture you and bring you back, I...
527
00:35:44,126 --> 00:35:46,209
[sighs]
528
00:35:48,459 --> 00:35:50,251
If I catch you, I can go home.
529
00:35:51,418 --> 00:35:54,251
Then I can take my place
as the rightful heir to the Fire Lord.
530
00:35:54,251 --> 00:35:57,168
And that's what you want?
To be the next Fire Lord?
531
00:35:57,168 --> 00:36:00,543
Yes. Of course.
It's what everyone expects of me.
532
00:36:04,834 --> 00:36:05,751
Gyatso.
533
00:36:06,709 --> 00:36:07,793
He was my teacher.
534
00:36:08,876 --> 00:36:12,334
He said we can't worry about
anyone else's expectations.
535
00:36:13,459 --> 00:36:15,584
I know. It's not that easy.
536
00:36:16,459 --> 00:36:20,834
I mean, I'm the Avatar,
and... it's what everyone expects of me.
537
00:36:22,251 --> 00:36:24,001
All I do is worry about that.
538
00:36:24,876 --> 00:36:26,543
[emotional music playing]
539
00:36:29,418 --> 00:36:32,043
Maybe you don't have to be
like the other Firebenders.
540
00:36:33,751 --> 00:36:35,459
Maybe you could be better than them.
541
00:36:36,709 --> 00:36:39,043
You know
what the Fire Lord is doing is wrong,
542
00:36:39,584 --> 00:36:41,543
so you don't have to be like him.
543
00:36:42,376 --> 00:36:44,543
You can show some compassion.
544
00:36:49,918 --> 00:36:50,751
How dare you?
545
00:36:51,543 --> 00:36:56,084
I'm the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation.
I'll be the example for all Firebenders.
546
00:36:56,084 --> 00:36:59,418
And my father is a great man.
547
00:37:02,918 --> 00:37:04,334
Compassion?
548
00:37:04,334 --> 00:37:08,293
Compassion is a sign of weakness.
549
00:37:10,834 --> 00:37:11,668
[grunts]
550
00:37:17,543 --> 00:37:19,751
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
551
00:37:21,668 --> 00:37:24,959
I have a feeling
you've been hurt more than enough.
552
00:37:29,293 --> 00:37:31,293
[mysterious music playing]
553
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:34,418
[Ozai] Prepare yourself.
554
00:37:36,834 --> 00:37:37,876
Father?
555
00:37:38,834 --> 00:37:42,543
But... I'm... I'm here to duel General Li.
556
00:37:42,543 --> 00:37:45,834
You're here because you have no respect
for our military.
557
00:37:45,834 --> 00:37:47,876
- That's not true.
- [Ozai] Really?
558
00:37:47,876 --> 00:37:51,626
Even when they come up
with terrible plans?
559
00:37:52,376 --> 00:37:53,626
My plans!
560
00:37:54,418 --> 00:37:58,084
My strategy. My military.
That's what you have insulted.
561
00:37:59,084 --> 00:38:01,168
[Zuko] Forgive me, Father.
I meant no disrespect.
562
00:38:01,168 --> 00:38:03,084
- Rise.
- [Zuko] No! Please, Father.
563
00:38:03,084 --> 00:38:04,209
Rise!
564
00:38:04,209 --> 00:38:05,209
Brother!
565
00:38:06,376 --> 00:38:07,418
Don't do this.
566
00:38:07,418 --> 00:38:08,543
He's your son.
567
00:38:09,584 --> 00:38:10,543
We'll see.
568
00:38:19,459 --> 00:38:21,626
Rise and fight, Prince Zuko,
569
00:38:22,334 --> 00:38:24,376
so you can learn some respect.
570
00:38:28,501 --> 00:38:30,043

00:39:05,418 --> 00:39:08,459
Is this everything? Give me everything.

[grunts]
586
00:39:51,959 --> 00:39:54,501
Compassion is a sign of weakness.

[sinister music playing]
588
00:40:04,959 --> 00:40:08,876
- [Zuko screaming]
- [sizzling]
589
00:40:22,793 --> 00:40:24,376
The soldiers are gone,
590
00:40:24,376 --> 00:40:26,876
so you should be able
to get back to your ship
591
00:40:26,876 --> 00:40:28,168
without getting spotted.
592
00:40:30,709 --> 00:40:33,668
You know the worst part
about being born a hundred years ago?
593
00:40:36,543 --> 00:40:37,668
I miss my friends.
594
00:40:39,251 --> 00:40:40,209
Like Kuzon.
595
00:40:41,626 --> 00:40:42,668
He was the best.
596
00:40:43,834 --> 00:40:45,876
And he was from the Fire Nation.
597
00:40:50,501 --> 00:40:52,084
If we knew each other back then...
598
00:40:55,168 --> 00:40:56,876
do you think we could have been friends?
599
00:41:00,001 --> 00:41:01,043
[Zuko grunts]

[Zuko panting]
602
00:41:21,959 --> 00:41:24,709
You should turn in, sir. We'll keep watch.
603
00:41:24,709 --> 00:41:26,751
Any sign of the prince,
we'll let you know.
604
00:41:26,751 --> 00:41:29,834
Thank you, Lieutenant,
but I'll wait a little longer.
605
00:41:33,751 --> 00:41:34,959
You're wrong, you know.
606
00:41:35,751 --> 00:41:37,293
About him not caring.
607
00:41:38,668 --> 00:41:40,876
If anything, Zuko cares too much,
608
00:41:40,876 --> 00:41:43,626
especially about the people on this ship.
609
00:41:44,876 --> 00:41:45,793
Of course, sir.
610
00:41:46,501 --> 00:41:49,293
[Iroh] Lieutenant, have you ever wondered
611
00:41:49,293 --> 00:41:52,293
how you and the others
were assigned this mission?
612
00:41:53,084 --> 00:41:56,751
[Iroh] The doctor is creating
a special herbal balm just for you.
613
00:41:57,876 --> 00:42:00,918
And the good news is,
he says your vision will be fine,
614
00:42:00,918 --> 00:42:05,543
which means you have the good fortune
of continuing to bask in my beauty.
615
00:42:09,876 --> 00:42:11,001
[sighs]
616
00:42:15,251 --> 00:42:17,168
Now is not a good time.
617
00:42:17,168 --> 00:42:19,501
- I wish to speak with my son.
- He's hurt.
618
00:42:19,501 --> 00:42:21,876
- He'll recover.
- But he'll never heal.
619
00:42:26,293 --> 00:42:28,709
The doctor says you'll recuperate quickly.
620
00:42:28,709 --> 00:42:31,001
It's a sign your body is strong.
That's good.
621
00:42:32,001 --> 00:42:33,834
Your spirit, however,
622
00:42:33,834 --> 00:42:36,626
still needs strengthening.
623
00:42:46,751 --> 00:42:48,084
You held back today.
624
00:42:49,709 --> 00:42:52,334
Maybe you saw that as a sign of respect,
but it wasn't.
625
00:42:52,834 --> 00:42:54,084
It was weakness.
626
00:42:55,376 --> 00:42:58,168
You must purge that weakness out of you.
627
00:43:02,793 --> 00:43:05,959
You must be willing to give up the weak
to make yourself strong.
628
00:43:05,959 --> 00:43:07,918
That is what makes us the Fire Nation.
629
00:43:07,918 --> 00:43:10,501
That is why we sacrifice
the 41st Division.
630
00:43:10,501 --> 00:43:12,959
That is what you must do.
631
00:43:20,251 --> 00:43:23,084
Sometimes the weak can become stronger.
632
00:43:26,543 --> 00:43:29,918
Sometimes you just
have to give them a chance.
633
00:43:33,668 --> 00:43:36,126
I have made a mistake.
634
00:43:37,043 --> 00:43:40,584
I've sheltered you,
and it's made you soft like your mother.
635
00:43:40,584 --> 00:43:42,668
[somber music playing]
636
00:43:42,668 --> 00:43:46,501
Well, since you seem unable
to learn within the walls of this palace,
637
00:43:46,501 --> 00:43:50,501
perhaps the demands of the world outside
will prove to be a better teacher.
638
00:43:52,668 --> 00:43:57,668
You will leave here immediately,
and you are not to return
639
00:43:59,459 --> 00:44:00,293
until...
640
00:44:02,584 --> 00:44:06,918
until you have conquered the greatest
remaining threat to our nation's destiny.
641
00:44:08,293 --> 00:44:13,418
You will find, capture,
and bring me the Avatar.
642
00:44:13,418 --> 00:44:15,918
You are not to set a foot
within our borders
643
00:44:15,918 --> 00:44:17,626
until this task is completed.
644
00:44:17,626 --> 00:44:20,001
Under threat of the severest of penalties!
645
00:44:20,001 --> 00:44:21,543
Ozai! You can't!
646
00:44:21,543 --> 00:44:22,876
Brother, it's done.
647
00:44:25,334 --> 00:44:26,334
Oh.
648
00:44:27,459 --> 00:44:30,251
And since you're so concerned
with the 41st Division,
649
00:44:30,751 --> 00:44:31,918
take them with you
650
00:44:32,876 --> 00:44:34,043
as your crew.
651
00:44:36,251 --> 00:44:38,251

[crying]
654
00:44:50,293 --> 00:44:51,376
The 41st?
655
00:44:52,459 --> 00:44:53,876
We're the 41st.
656
00:44:55,043 --> 00:44:58,168
And you're all alive
because of my nephew's sacrifice.
657
00:45:02,043 --> 00:45:03,418
[man] There's something out there.
658
00:45:13,126 --> 00:45:15,334
[Iroh] It's him. Drop the lines!
659
00:45:15,834 --> 00:45:18,043
- [indistinct yelling]
- [chain clacking]
660
00:45:23,501 --> 00:45:25,168
- [Iroh] You're injured.
- I'm fine.
661
00:45:25,168 --> 00:45:26,834
We should have someone look at it.
662
00:45:27,501 --> 00:45:28,834
I've dealt with worse.
663
00:45:30,418 --> 00:45:34,043
I'm not going to ask you where you went,
but in the future, nephew,
664
00:45:34,043 --> 00:45:38,251
I would appreciate it if you let me know
whether or not you're still alive.
665
00:45:39,168 --> 00:45:41,834
There actually are a few of us
who care about...
666
00:45:43,959 --> 00:45:45,084
about such things.
667
00:45:45,834 --> 00:45:47,834
[footsteps approaching]
668
00:45:51,084 --> 00:45:52,168
Attention!
669
00:45:52,168 --> 00:45:53,209
[soldiers] Huh!
670
00:45:54,834 --> 00:45:57,709
Our prince... has returned.
671
00:45:59,501 --> 00:46:00,959
- Hup!
- [men] Hup!
672
00:46:06,543 --> 00:46:07,501
What's going on?
673
00:46:09,418 --> 00:46:11,293
They must've missed you at music night.
674
00:46:12,126 --> 00:46:14,126
[dramatic music continues]
675
00:46:58,376 --> 00:47:02,334
[Iroh] It's amazing how far we'll go
to hide our true selves from the world.
676
00:47:06,209 --> 00:47:08,584
Perhaps it's because
we don't want people to know
677
00:47:08,584 --> 00:47:10,459
how much they really mean to us...
678
00:47:11,209 --> 00:47:13,543
[Momo chattering]
679
00:47:13,543 --> 00:47:18,418
...which is funny because the truth is,
we would do anything for them.

00:47:18,418 --> 00:47:19,959
[Appa grunts]
681
00:47:28,543 --> 00:47:30,668
[Iroh] We'd travel incredible distances.
682
00:47:30,668 --> 00:47:32,376
[mystical whirring]
683
00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:34,001
[Iroh] Risk our lives.
684
00:47:36,626 --> 00:47:38,209
Even fight monsters.
685
00:47:38,209 --> 00:47:39,834
[Koh chuckles]

[emotional music playing]
690
00:48:32,043 --> 00:48:35,251
[Iroh] But I suppose it can be scary
to admit you need people.
691
00:48:36,293 --> 00:48:39,668
Some might see that
as a weakness, a liability.
692
00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:42,209
[woman laughing]
693
00:48:42,209 --> 00:48:44,334
[indistinct chatter]
694
00:48:45,834 --> 00:48:48,209
- [man] It's been so long.
- [woman] How do you feel?
695
00:48:48,209 --> 00:48:53,251
[Iroh] After all, what greater pain
is there than losing someone you love?
696
00:48:56,293 --> 00:48:57,293
Or worse...
697
00:48:58,501 --> 00:48:59,418
[Aang] Gyatso?
698
00:49:00,209 --> 00:49:03,793
[Iroh] ...finding out someone you love
has left you behind.
699
00:49:07,418 --> 00:49:10,251
Can we talk about it when I get back?
700
00:49:11,834 --> 00:49:13,043
Of course.
701
00:49:13,043 --> 00:49:16,168
Once I save my friends,
we'll have more time.
702
00:49:31,001 --> 00:49:35,376
[Iroh] I guess that's why we feel the need
to hide away and protect ourselves.
703
00:50:09,334 --> 00:50:10,959
So we put on a mask.
704
00:50:13,501 --> 00:50:15,668
It's not hard to understand why.
705
00:50:17,501 --> 00:50:19,626
What's hard is knowing that sometimes...
706
00:50:22,001 --> 00:50:24,668
the mask is who you really are.
707
00:50:29,834 --> 00:50:31,751
[upbeat drum and flute music playing]
