1
00:00:19,751 --> 00:00:23,001
Prince Zuko, the Imperial Guard, they're
coming to take the prince into custody.
2
00:00:23,001 --> 00:00:24,376
- What?
- The Imperial Guard?
3
00:00:24,376 --> 00:00:27,334
- They're already on their way.
- Lieutenant Jee, slow down.
4
00:00:30,001 --> 00:00:36,084
I was just on Admiral Zhao's ship
going over the latest... fuel usage figures.
5
00:00:37,001 --> 00:00:39,834
Lieutenant Dang and I
were burning the midnight oil.
6
00:00:39,834 --> 00:00:42,918
So funny, your face. Oh!
7
00:00:42,918 --> 00:00:44,626
Dang stepped out to take a message.
8
00:00:46,793 --> 00:00:47,709
Keep drinking.
9
00:00:49,793 --> 00:00:53,376
I overheard them discussing new orders.
Orders from the Fire Lord himself.
10
00:00:53,376 --> 00:00:56,793
He sent his personal guard
to bring Prince Zuko back to Capital City,
11
00:00:56,793 --> 00:00:58,584
where he is to stand trial...
12
00:00:58,584 --> 00:00:59,793
For treason.
13
00:01:00,376 --> 00:01:01,959
Treason?
Are you certain?
14
00:01:01,959 --> 00:01:04,793
Yes, sir. I heard Dang
order his men to shore to meet the guard.
15
00:01:04,793 --> 00:01:07,209
Tonight? That means
he'll be here any minute.
16
00:01:10,126 --> 00:01:11,543
This is Zhao's doing.
17
00:01:11,543 --> 00:01:14,459
Somehow, he's convinced Ozai
you've turned against him.
18
00:01:18,376 --> 00:01:21,918
Pohuai, Zhao’s figured out
you were the one that freed the Avatar.
19
00:01:22,709 --> 00:01:25,334
Prince Zuko, you need to leave, now.
20
00:01:26,501 --> 00:01:29,001
Do not start the engines
until you are well clear.
21
00:01:29,001 --> 00:01:31,126
Stay off the main roads,
and travel only at night.
22
00:01:31,126 --> 00:01:33,668
Uncle, we can't let my father believe
I've turned against him.
23
00:01:33,668 --> 00:01:38,126
I know, but first you must get to safety.
Let me sort things out with Ozai.
24
00:01:47,251 --> 00:01:49,584
Thank you, Lieutenant Jee.
25
00:01:50,084 --> 00:01:51,918
Stay safe, Your Highness.
26
00:02:01,918 --> 00:02:03,043
Jee had no idea.
27
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:08,084
It was all too easy
to get him to take the bait.
28
00:02:30,251 --> 00:02:32,959
What will you tell the Fire Lord
about his son?
29
00:02:34,168 --> 00:02:35,918
I'll tell him the truth.
30
00:02:37,918 --> 00:02:43,001
That the prince chose to put his needs
over those of his countrymen.
31
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:50,834
And that his son was a traitor.
32
00:02:53,543 --> 00:02:54,709
Blasting jelly.
33
00:03:00,709 --> 00:03:01,543
The prince!
34
00:03:09,168 --> 00:03:10,126
Zuko.
35
00:03:14,126 --> 00:03:18,709
Now I need to deliver my condolences
to General Iroh.
36
00:03:18,709 --> 00:03:21,418
I'm sure he's been through
a terrible shock.
37
00:03:49,459 --> 00:03:51,543
Zuko's on his own,
38
00:03:51,543 --> 00:03:53,501
and he wasn't anything
like I thought he'd be.
39
00:03:53,501 --> 00:03:56,001
He just seemed so alone.
40
00:03:56,584 --> 00:03:57,543
I'm shocked.
41
00:03:57,543 --> 00:04:00,501
Sokka, Aang made a connection with him.
42
00:04:00,501 --> 00:04:01,418
Right?
43
00:04:01,418 --> 00:04:05,334
I just realized Zuko and I,
we both have a lot on our shoulders.
44
00:04:07,209 --> 00:04:11,168
This whole time, I've been worried
that I don't know what I'm doing.
45
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:13,043
And the truth is, I don't.
46
00:04:13,626 --> 00:04:15,626
I haven't learned
any of the other bending skills,
47
00:04:15,626 --> 00:04:17,709
and I'll probably continue messing up,
48
00:04:18,293 --> 00:04:21,084
but at least I'll be able to do it
with my friends by my side.
49
00:04:21,668 --> 00:04:23,626
That's right. Team Avatar.
50
00:04:27,709 --> 00:04:29,043
What is it, boy?
51
00:04:29,043 --> 00:04:30,126
Look!
52
00:04:32,626 --> 00:04:34,418
It's the Northern Water Tribe!
53
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:38,043
We did it. We finally made it.
54
00:04:50,334 --> 00:04:52,293
They're here!
55
00:04:56,959 --> 00:04:58,751
Avatar, welcome
56
00:04:59,376 --> 00:05:00,459
to Agna Qel'a.
57
00:05:06,001 --> 00:05:07,001
This is...
58
00:05:07,001 --> 00:05:08,043
Beautiful.
59
00:05:08,626 --> 00:05:09,626
It's perfect.
60
00:05:23,876 --> 00:05:26,709
We've been expecting you.
61
00:05:27,626 --> 00:05:29,584
Mother!
Your beast is in good hands.
62
00:05:29,584 --> 00:05:31,918
My men will take him
to our buffalo yak stables,
63
00:05:31,918 --> 00:05:34,501
which are in a heated grotto
with plenty of light and space.
64
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:35,918
Make sure he gets seaweed.
65
00:05:36,418 --> 00:05:37,251
Lots of seaweed.
66
00:05:37,251 --> 00:05:38,376
Of course.
67
00:05:42,751 --> 00:05:46,668
Welcome. I'm Arnook,
chief of the Northern Water Tribe,
68
00:05:46,668 --> 00:05:50,001
and I offer you our hospitalities
and our protection
69
00:05:50,001 --> 00:05:52,834
in the name of the Ocean and Moon Spirits.
70
00:05:52,834 --> 00:05:56,251
Thank you. You don't know how long
we've been looking forward to this.
71
00:05:56,251 --> 00:05:58,668
I can't tell you
the joy it brings us to welcome
72
00:05:58,668 --> 00:06:01,418
a long-lost brother and sister
from the South.
73
00:06:01,918 --> 00:06:05,334
This is Master Pakku.
He is our senior waterbending master.
74
00:06:06,168 --> 00:06:10,126
And this is my daughter, Princess Yue,
our tribe's spiritual leader.
75
00:06:10,126 --> 00:06:13,834
There's something I need to tell you.
You're in danger.
76
00:06:13,834 --> 00:06:14,918
Avatar Aang--
77
00:06:14,918 --> 00:06:16,459
I know it sounds crazy,
78
00:06:16,459 --> 00:06:19,793
but I've seen a vision,
and in it, the North is under attack.
79
00:06:19,793 --> 00:06:20,876
We know.
80
00:06:21,668 --> 00:06:26,001
Several days ago, our scouts picked up
a Fire Nation fleet steaming this way.
81
00:06:26,001 --> 00:06:28,376
We've been keeping track of them
ever since.
82
00:06:28,376 --> 00:06:30,668
We are grateful to have you with us.
83
00:06:30,668 --> 00:06:33,001
With the power of the Avatar on our side,
84
00:06:33,001 --> 00:06:35,584
we'll teach them a lesson
they won't soon forget.
85
00:06:37,209 --> 00:06:41,876
Citizens, it is a great day for our city
as we welcome mighty allies,
86
00:06:41,876 --> 00:06:45,543
and we shall celebrate their arrival
with a feast.
87
00:06:45,543 --> 00:06:48,084
Feast.
The spirits have protected us...
88
00:06:48,084 --> 00:06:49,501
- Stop staring.
- Huh?
89
00:06:50,168 --> 00:06:52,168
I can't help it.
There's something about her.
90
00:06:52,168 --> 00:06:54,959
- Have we met her before?
- No.
91
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:57,584
Now quit it before they think
something's wrong with you.
92
00:06:57,584 --> 00:06:58,709
More than there already is.
93
00:07:06,209 --> 00:07:10,584
I swear, I will not rest
until I hunt down these villains.
94
00:07:10,584 --> 00:07:15,501
Our enemies can't be allowed
to get away with such a brazen crime.
95
00:07:15,501 --> 00:07:17,293
And I know where to start the hunt.
96
00:07:18,126 --> 00:07:19,668
I know who did this.
97
00:07:23,209 --> 00:07:24,334
It was Ozai.
98
00:07:25,584 --> 00:07:28,584
Ozai's lost all shred of humanity.
99
00:07:28,584 --> 00:07:31,668
He's become so obsessed
with conquering the world,
100
00:07:31,668 --> 00:07:35,084
he cannot tolerate anyone
who would get in the way of this,
101
00:07:35,084 --> 00:07:37,209
not even his own flesh and blood.
102
00:07:37,209 --> 00:07:38,334
I see.
103
00:07:46,293 --> 00:07:47,626
I sympathize.
104
00:07:49,876 --> 00:07:53,251
It does make what I'm about to say
105
00:07:54,501 --> 00:07:55,626
a bit awkward.
106
00:07:58,834 --> 00:07:59,959
The Fire Lord
107
00:08:01,459 --> 00:08:04,418
has given me the honor
108
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:07,209
of leading a great armada
109
00:08:08,084 --> 00:08:10,626
with orders to conquer the North.
110
00:08:11,418 --> 00:08:13,293
We know the Avatar is headed there,
111
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:17,501
to the last great Waterbender stronghold,
112
00:08:17,501 --> 00:08:21,168
and so I am setting out to take it.
113
00:08:23,834 --> 00:08:25,084
Forgive me, Admiral,
114
00:08:26,001 --> 00:08:32,543
but you weren't the first to come to mind
for such a... prominent mission.
115
00:08:32,543 --> 00:08:37,001
I admit
that I have little experience in battle.
116
00:08:37,709 --> 00:08:42,126
Of course, that also means
that I have no track record of failure.
117
00:08:44,459 --> 00:08:45,418
Unlike you.
118
00:08:57,626 --> 00:08:58,626
Ah!
119
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:03,501
That's enough.
120
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:04,459
Enough!
121
00:09:10,334 --> 00:09:12,543
The Fire Lord deems your performance
122
00:09:13,793 --> 00:09:14,626
below average.
123
00:09:15,334 --> 00:09:16,293
But I defeated him!
124
00:09:16,293 --> 00:09:18,709
You should've finished him
at least two moves earlier.
125
00:09:18,709 --> 00:09:21,459
Thus, you will undergo
another trial tomorrow.
126
00:09:33,168 --> 00:09:35,376
You realize
he's playing games with you, right?
127
00:09:35,376 --> 00:09:37,918
Didn't feel like a game
when that boulder was flying at my head.
128
00:09:37,918 --> 00:09:41,418
Just saying your father already knows
you're the best.
129
00:09:41,418 --> 00:09:43,376
He just doesn't want you to know that.
130
00:09:43,376 --> 00:09:45,918
Let my father empty his prisons.
131
00:09:46,626 --> 00:09:48,293
Send every bender he has at me.
132
00:09:48,293 --> 00:09:51,459
I'll burn everyone in the world
until he admits the truth.
133
00:09:51,459 --> 00:09:52,709
What truth?
134
00:09:54,334 --> 00:09:56,626
That I'm the one.
135
00:10:11,418 --> 00:10:13,209
Why don't you just go and talk to her?
136
00:10:14,001 --> 00:10:17,501
And say what?
"Hey there. Sokka, Southern Water Tribe."
137
00:10:21,376 --> 00:10:22,543
She's just a girl.
138
00:10:23,626 --> 00:10:26,793
She's a princess
and a spiritual leader.
139
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:30,084
She probably sleeps on a throne
and only eats dewdrops and sunshine.
140
00:10:32,918 --> 00:10:33,918
No way.
141
00:10:34,418 --> 00:10:37,043
Stewed sea prunes. My favorite.
142
00:10:37,793 --> 00:10:40,084
Is it good? What's it taste like?
143
00:10:41,376 --> 00:10:42,293
Like...
144
00:10:44,418 --> 00:10:45,543
like home.
145
00:10:52,793 --> 00:10:53,626
Katara?
146
00:10:56,043 --> 00:10:59,084
I just wanna say thanks
for helping me get here.
147
00:11:00,334 --> 00:11:02,251
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
148
00:11:03,126 --> 00:11:05,543
A world I wouldn't have seen
if it wasn't for you.
149
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:11,209
So enjoying the food, are we?
150
00:11:11,209 --> 00:11:12,793
It's delicious.
151
00:11:12,793 --> 00:11:15,126
You say you were entirely self-taught.
152
00:11:15,126 --> 00:11:19,334
Yes, I feel like I've come pretty far,
but I still have so much to learn.
153
00:11:19,334 --> 00:11:22,001
That's why I couldn't wait to get here
to meet other Waterbenders
154
00:11:22,001 --> 00:11:25,376
and especially esteemed masters like you.
155
00:11:28,001 --> 00:11:31,626
It must've been difficult
to grow up cut off from other benders.
156
00:11:31,626 --> 00:11:34,876
The Fire Nation's attacks
took so much from you.
157
00:11:34,876 --> 00:11:36,043
From all of us.
158
00:11:40,626 --> 00:11:44,334
The worst part was I...
I couldn't do anything about it.
159
00:11:44,334 --> 00:11:46,459
What's important is you survived.
160
00:11:46,459 --> 00:11:48,751
That is what we do.
161
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:50,668
Water is the element of change.
162
00:11:51,584 --> 00:11:55,501
And we Waterbenders
have always adapted to the flow of life.
163
00:11:57,459 --> 00:12:00,334
Tomorrow morning, go and find Yagoda.
164
00:12:00,918 --> 00:12:04,334
She is one of our finest instructors,
and she can start you on your journey.
165
00:12:06,084 --> 00:12:07,501
Thank you, Master Pakku.
166
00:12:20,709 --> 00:12:25,668
How about some cloudberries?
167
00:12:43,168 --> 00:12:44,418
Here you go.
168
00:12:48,751 --> 00:12:49,751
Thank you.
169
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:52,168
You can help me finish this.
170
00:12:54,876 --> 00:12:56,876
Come on. It's pretty good.
171
00:13:11,834 --> 00:13:13,209
What do you think?
172
00:13:13,209 --> 00:13:14,418
It's delicious.
173
00:13:17,084 --> 00:13:21,709
When I was a kid, I used to hide out here
when my dad would meet with the elders.
174
00:13:21,709 --> 00:13:24,084
He said he wanted me to see
how things worked in the tribe
175
00:13:24,084 --> 00:13:26,793
because, someday,
it would be my responsibility.
176
00:13:26,793 --> 00:13:28,793
Not very fun.
177
00:13:28,793 --> 00:13:34,168
Hmm, so I'd hide out here with the grans
and make dessert.
178
00:13:36,376 --> 00:13:38,501
You are just a girl.
179
00:13:39,626 --> 00:13:40,918
Did you think I wasn't a girl?
180
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:44,876
No, no, no. I just figured
with you being a princess and all--
181
00:13:44,876 --> 00:13:47,709
- That I was stuck up?
- Yeah. I mean, no.
182
00:13:49,293 --> 00:13:51,543
I mean, that's what I thought,
but, no, you're ordinary.
183
00:13:52,126 --> 00:13:54,834
Not ordinary,
because that wouldn't be good,
184
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,918
and I think
I should stop saying words now.
185
00:13:57,918 --> 00:13:59,626
I get it.
186
00:13:59,626 --> 00:14:02,334
I know out there I seem all...
187
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:06,584
but that's what they expect me to be.
188
00:14:07,376 --> 00:14:10,043
Don't get me wrong.
I love serving my community,
189
00:14:10,043 --> 00:14:13,959
but every now and then,
I just have to go somewhere and...
190
00:14:13,959 --> 00:14:14,918
Make dessert?
191
00:14:17,043 --> 00:14:18,001
No, I get it.
192
00:14:18,751 --> 00:14:22,293
You know, back home,
it was my duty to protect the village.
193
00:14:22,918 --> 00:14:24,251
I took that seriously.
194
00:14:24,793 --> 00:14:27,959
Katara would probably say too seriously,
but the thing was--
195
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:29,543
It's your responsibility.
196
00:14:31,168 --> 00:14:32,084
Yeah.
197
00:14:32,876 --> 00:14:35,626
Yeah, and if I didn't do it,
198
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,334
who knows what could've happened.
199
00:14:39,376 --> 00:14:43,584
You know, I made a promise to my dad,
and I was gonna keep that no matter what.
200
00:14:44,168 --> 00:14:46,668
But there are times it would've been nice
to not have to worry.
201
00:14:47,501 --> 00:14:49,251
Times I wish I could be...
202
00:14:49,834 --> 00:14:50,834
Just a boy?
203
00:14:52,584 --> 00:14:53,459
Yeah.
204
00:14:58,418 --> 00:14:59,543
How do I know you?
205
00:15:01,793 --> 00:15:02,751
Princess Yue.
206
00:15:04,668 --> 00:15:06,418
They're ready for the evening blessing.
207
00:15:09,251 --> 00:15:10,293
Thank you, Hahn.
208
00:15:10,876 --> 00:15:13,793
You didn't have to leave the feast.
One of the priests could've come.
209
00:15:14,876 --> 00:15:16,126
It was no trouble at all.
210
00:15:16,876 --> 00:15:17,709
Really.
211
00:15:51,584 --> 00:15:53,334
Welcome to our ice wall.
212
00:15:53,334 --> 00:15:55,959
It has withstood attacks
for over a century.
213
00:15:56,543 --> 00:15:58,126
Chief Arnook, if you don't mind,
214
00:15:58,126 --> 00:16:01,626
I'd love to talk to our brother
from the South. Some combat advice.
215
00:16:01,626 --> 00:16:04,251
Me? You wanna ask me about fighting?
216
00:16:04,251 --> 00:16:05,959
You have something none of us have.
217
00:16:06,668 --> 00:16:07,543
Experience.
218
00:16:07,543 --> 00:16:11,459
Tell me, Fire Nation armor. Is it metal?
219
00:16:12,334 --> 00:16:14,251
The reference we have
has spikes on the shoulders.
220
00:16:14,834 --> 00:16:16,501
Uh, no metal. Leather.
221
00:16:16,501 --> 00:16:18,793
And, uh, they don't have
shoulder spikes anymore.
222
00:16:18,793 --> 00:16:22,751
The rest of the platoon should hear this.
Would you mind coming to talk to them?
223
00:16:23,376 --> 00:16:24,501
Um, sure.
224
00:16:25,501 --> 00:16:26,501
Great.
225
00:16:27,876 --> 00:16:29,293
Tell me, Avatar Aang,
226
00:16:30,043 --> 00:16:33,001
what do you think is the best approach
to the coming battle?
227
00:16:33,001 --> 00:16:36,209
Might I suggest
you lead the offensive front?
228
00:16:36,209 --> 00:16:38,293
You could spearhead an attack--
229
00:16:38,293 --> 00:16:42,834
Actually, airbending is primarily
a defensive discipline.
230
00:16:43,459 --> 00:16:46,251
Our style is to evade and avoid conflict.
231
00:16:46,251 --> 00:16:48,293
But you're not just an Airbender.
232
00:16:48,959 --> 00:16:50,084
You're the Avatar.
233
00:16:52,168 --> 00:16:54,834
Truth is, I haven't mastered
any other bending.
234
00:16:55,751 --> 00:16:59,626
But that's why I came here,
hoping someone could teach me?
235
00:16:59,626 --> 00:17:03,168
But we've heard stories
of how you've saved communities,
236
00:17:03,168 --> 00:17:05,626
defeated the Fire Nation platoons,
237
00:17:05,626 --> 00:17:07,501
even battled monsters.
238
00:17:07,501 --> 00:17:09,418
How were you able to do all that?
239
00:17:10,584 --> 00:17:11,709
My friends help me.
240
00:17:12,418 --> 00:17:13,709
We work together.
241
00:17:15,293 --> 00:17:18,209
It would've been wise
to have focused on your training
242
00:17:18,209 --> 00:17:19,584
during your journey.
243
00:17:26,751 --> 00:17:29,209
It seems we won't be able
to count on the Avatar.
244
00:17:36,709 --> 00:17:38,459
Water is life.
245
00:17:39,043 --> 00:17:42,126
Water allows life to flourish.
246
00:17:46,626 --> 00:17:48,543
And to heal.
247
00:17:56,793 --> 00:18:01,084
Master Pakku told me
we'd be having a special guest today.
248
00:18:01,084 --> 00:18:02,376
Thank you for having me.
249
00:18:03,084 --> 00:18:04,668
I'd heard stories of water healing,
250
00:18:04,668 --> 00:18:06,668
but I didn't think
it was still being practiced.
251
00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:09,834
Oh, yes, it's a vital part of our culture.
252
00:18:10,334 --> 00:18:11,501
Would you like to try it?
253
00:18:18,418 --> 00:18:21,709
Feel the flow of energy through the body.
254
00:18:22,293 --> 00:18:27,293
Connect that flow
to the energy in yourself.
255
00:18:27,793 --> 00:18:29,043
Healing...
256
00:18:31,084 --> 00:18:33,251
is more than a physical process.
257
00:18:34,501 --> 00:18:36,126
It's about empathy.
258
00:18:36,126 --> 00:18:40,459
You must understand
what it means to feel pain.
259
00:18:41,251 --> 00:18:43,251
Then take that pain away.
260
00:18:49,001 --> 00:18:50,334
You are a natural.
261
00:18:50,834 --> 00:18:51,959
Thanks.
262
00:18:51,959 --> 00:18:54,334
I've gotten good
at picking things up quickly.
263
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:56,334
We had to think on our feet a lot.
264
00:18:56,834 --> 00:18:59,793
Nothing to focus your mind
like a fireball coming at your head.
265
00:19:01,334 --> 00:19:04,084
Which reminds me.
When do we get to fight training?
266
00:19:04,084 --> 00:19:05,001
Excuse me?
267
00:19:05,001 --> 00:19:07,834
I think my basic forms are pretty good,
but I could use help
268
00:19:07,834 --> 00:19:10,168
with accuracy and increasing power.
269
00:19:10,751 --> 00:19:12,418
I'm sorry, but women don't fight.
270
00:19:13,084 --> 00:19:15,959
We use our skills to heal, not to harm.
271
00:19:15,959 --> 00:19:17,626
I don't want to just heal.
272
00:19:17,626 --> 00:19:20,251
Healing is a noble and sacred tradition.
273
00:19:20,251 --> 00:19:21,834
The highest of callings.
274
00:19:21,834 --> 00:19:23,959
No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
275
00:19:23,959 --> 00:19:28,126
It's just that... I think
my skills lie more in combat.
276
00:19:28,126 --> 00:19:31,668
So if it's okay, I'd like to train
in fighting techniques.
277
00:19:31,668 --> 00:19:35,209
In the Northern Water Tribe,
women aren't allowed to fight.
278
00:19:35,793 --> 00:19:36,876
Aren't allowed?
279
00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:38,751
That's not right.
280
00:19:38,751 --> 00:19:40,084
But that is our way.
281
00:19:51,584 --> 00:19:52,709
Understood.
282
00:19:55,293 --> 00:19:56,668
They seem like a good group.
283
00:19:57,918 --> 00:19:59,334
We've trained them as best we can,
284
00:19:59,334 --> 00:20:02,293
but none of them know
what we're about to face.
285
00:20:02,293 --> 00:20:04,293
None of them have seen real battle.
286
00:20:04,293 --> 00:20:06,043
Hey, I'm sure they'll do great.
287
00:20:06,543 --> 00:20:08,126
Especially with you leading them.
288
00:20:10,418 --> 00:20:11,334
So...
289
00:20:13,418 --> 00:20:14,334
Princess Yue.
290
00:20:15,959 --> 00:20:16,959
She seems great.
291
00:20:17,543 --> 00:20:21,418
Yue, she's dedicated, kind, generous.
292
00:20:22,001 --> 00:20:25,668
She represents the highest ideals
of our tribe. She is the best of us.
293
00:20:28,043 --> 00:20:29,043
You like her.
294
00:20:29,668 --> 00:20:30,751
Um...
295
00:20:31,584 --> 00:20:32,751
The princess and I,
296
00:20:34,001 --> 00:20:35,168
we were betrothed.
297
00:20:35,751 --> 00:20:39,418
It was arranged by our parents when we
were children, but when she turned 16,
298
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:41,293
she broke it off,
299
00:20:42,293 --> 00:20:44,334
which is her prerogative.
300
00:20:46,293 --> 00:20:47,126
Wow.
301
00:20:47,668 --> 00:20:49,334
But she never gave a reason why.
302
00:20:50,584 --> 00:20:51,501
So
303
00:20:53,251 --> 00:20:54,584
you would've gone through with it?
304
00:20:56,001 --> 00:20:57,209
You would've married her?
305
00:21:06,043 --> 00:21:08,834
Thank you for coming
to pay your respects to Avatar Kuruk.
306
00:21:09,626 --> 00:21:11,709
I'm here to do
a little bit more than that.
307
00:21:12,876 --> 00:21:15,793
I'm hoping Kuruk can help me
make a difference in this fight.
308
00:21:20,668 --> 00:21:22,459
Is that a problem?
309
00:21:23,043 --> 00:21:26,043
It's just been a long time
since anyone went to Kuruk for anything.
310
00:21:26,709 --> 00:21:29,084
The truth is,
his memory has faded for most.
311
00:21:29,084 --> 00:21:33,293
During his time as the Avatar,
Kuruk didn't engage much with the world.
312
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:35,876
Some say he became enamored
with the Spirit World
313
00:21:35,876 --> 00:21:38,334
and spent most of his time there.
314
00:21:38,334 --> 00:21:41,126
Unfortunately, that meant
he wasn't around much
315
00:21:41,126 --> 00:21:43,626
to help us deal with our problems.
316
00:21:43,626 --> 00:21:46,376
So he didn't do his job as the Avatar.
317
00:21:46,959 --> 00:21:48,251
He let everyone down.
318
00:21:49,209 --> 00:21:51,626
I believe there must be more to his story.
319
00:21:52,126 --> 00:21:55,168
I hope you're right because I need help,
320
00:21:55,168 --> 00:21:59,043
and he's the only one who could
possibly understand my situation.
321
00:22:33,834 --> 00:22:34,876
Hello, Aang.
322
00:22:36,293 --> 00:22:37,834
I see you made it to the North.
323
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:40,834
Yes, because
the Northern Water Tribe's in danger.
324
00:22:40,834 --> 00:22:42,626
Avatar Kyoshi showed me a vision
325
00:22:42,626 --> 00:22:45,209
of Agna Qel'a being destroyed
by the Fire Nation.
326
00:22:45,209 --> 00:22:47,209
I need to stop that from happening.
327
00:22:47,209 --> 00:22:48,501
You can't.
328
00:22:49,751 --> 00:22:52,293
If she showed you
the North being destroyed,
329
00:22:52,834 --> 00:22:54,043
then it will happen.
330
00:22:54,626 --> 00:22:57,001
But the battle's outcome
is still uncertain.
331
00:22:57,584 --> 00:22:59,876
Whether the Fire Nation prevails,
332
00:22:59,876 --> 00:23:02,084
whether the Waterbenders survive,
333
00:23:03,126 --> 00:23:05,001
all of that is up to you.
334
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:06,751
I'm just one kid.
335
00:23:06,751 --> 00:23:09,251
No, you are the Avatar.
336
00:23:09,251 --> 00:23:10,876
When I was at Kyoshi Island,
337
00:23:10,876 --> 00:23:14,376
Avatar Kyoshi helped me unleash
these incredible energies.
338
00:23:14,376 --> 00:23:15,626
The Avatar State.
339
00:23:15,626 --> 00:23:18,668
Yes! She said it gave me the strength
of a thousand benders.
340
00:23:19,251 --> 00:23:21,418
I can use that power to save the North.
341
00:23:21,418 --> 00:23:23,543
But to gain control over it,
342
00:23:23,543 --> 00:23:26,043
you need to first
master the other disciplines.
343
00:23:26,043 --> 00:23:28,709
Except she was able to take control.
344
00:23:28,709 --> 00:23:31,459
She could channel the power
through my body.
345
00:23:31,459 --> 00:23:34,084
She was in control. You can do that.
346
00:23:34,084 --> 00:23:35,418
That's not possible.
347
00:23:35,418 --> 00:23:38,043
- Yes, it is. Kyoshi did it.
- I'm not Kyoshi.
348
00:23:38,043 --> 00:23:40,293
- But you still could!
- No, I can't!
349
00:23:46,126 --> 00:23:48,501
After I became the Avatar,
350
00:23:49,584 --> 00:23:52,251
I discovered
dark spirits were on the verge
351
00:23:52,251 --> 00:23:55,543
of crossing over into our realm
from the Spirit World.
352
00:23:56,251 --> 00:23:57,751
I had to stop them,
353
00:23:58,543 --> 00:24:00,876
so I spent my life fighting them.
354
00:24:01,959 --> 00:24:04,293
The war I waged on the spirits
355
00:24:05,459 --> 00:24:09,001
damaged my body and corrupted my soul.
356
00:24:09,001 --> 00:24:10,459
In my condition,
357
00:24:11,501 --> 00:24:14,126
I wouldn't be able
to control the Avatar State
358
00:24:14,126 --> 00:24:15,876
any more than you could.
359
00:24:17,876 --> 00:24:20,209
And despite all my sacrifices,
360
00:24:21,543 --> 00:24:24,918
I still couldn't save the one
that mattered the most.
361
00:24:25,501 --> 00:24:28,959
A predatory spirit came
to seek vengeance on me.
362
00:24:30,376 --> 00:24:32,543
Ummi, my beloved,
363
00:24:33,918 --> 00:24:35,376
paid the ultimate price.
364
00:24:37,334 --> 00:24:39,376
The spirit stole her face.
365
00:24:41,418 --> 00:24:43,334
Koh.
Listen to me, Aang.
366
00:24:44,126 --> 00:24:47,543
The Avatar must walk alone,
367
00:24:48,209 --> 00:24:50,709
or else the ones you love will suffer.
368
00:24:56,543 --> 00:24:58,668
Oh, sorry. I was looking for Katara.
369
00:24:59,251 --> 00:25:00,084
Oh.
370
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:04,043
I should get going.
371
00:25:04,834 --> 00:25:06,084
Is something wrong?
372
00:25:07,584 --> 00:25:09,459
No, I'm just
373
00:25:10,668 --> 00:25:11,626
a little tired.
374
00:25:12,209 --> 00:25:16,751
Mm. I guess you need to go
and "recombobulate."
375
00:25:23,376 --> 00:25:24,876
I knew it! It was you!
376
00:25:24,876 --> 00:25:26,626
Yes.
- You're the fox!
377
00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:27,709
Yes.
378
00:25:27,709 --> 00:25:28,959
But how?
379
00:25:33,959 --> 00:25:37,376
Not long after I was born,
I got very sick,
380
00:25:37,959 --> 00:25:41,334
so my father pleaded with the spirits
to save my life,
381
00:25:41,334 --> 00:25:44,751
and... a miracle happened.
382
00:25:45,459 --> 00:25:47,834
The Moon Spirit answered his prayer
383
00:25:48,334 --> 00:25:51,584
and imbued me with some of its essence
and restored my life.
384
00:25:53,543 --> 00:25:55,501
That's the night my hair changed color.
385
00:25:55,501 --> 00:25:58,959
So you're a spirit?
386
00:26:00,251 --> 00:26:01,918
Part spirit, mostly human.
387
00:26:01,918 --> 00:26:05,376
Being of both worlds has meant
that I can be a bridge between the two.
388
00:26:05,376 --> 00:26:07,334
That's why I became a priestess,
389
00:26:07,334 --> 00:26:10,251
is to help people connect
with their spirituality.
390
00:26:10,834 --> 00:26:13,626
It also means I have the ability
to visit the Spirit World
391
00:26:14,209 --> 00:26:15,293
in my dreams.
392
00:26:15,293 --> 00:26:17,418
So you pop over there just for fun?
393
00:26:17,418 --> 00:26:18,584
Wouldn't you?
394
00:26:19,209 --> 00:26:20,834
It's magical.
395
00:26:20,834 --> 00:26:22,626
Not quite the word I would use.
396
00:26:22,626 --> 00:26:23,834
You didn't like it?
397
00:26:24,334 --> 00:26:25,709
What's not to like?
398
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:28,209
Nearly being mauled by a spirit monster
399
00:26:28,209 --> 00:26:32,251
or getting my face eaten by a predator
or reliving the most painful memories--
400
00:26:32,251 --> 00:26:33,376
Painful?
401
00:26:36,543 --> 00:26:37,543
It was nothing.
402
00:26:38,543 --> 00:26:39,418
Never mind.
403
00:26:40,001 --> 00:26:41,043
Don't do that.
404
00:26:42,751 --> 00:26:44,793
Don't make it less than what it is.
405
00:26:47,668 --> 00:26:49,626
It was something that happened
when I was a kid.
406
00:26:51,626 --> 00:26:54,626
I overheard my dad saying
he was disappointed in me.
407
00:26:56,084 --> 00:26:58,251
That I wasn't cut out to be a warrior.
408
00:27:01,001 --> 00:27:02,418
That he didn't believe in me.
409
00:27:04,834 --> 00:27:07,959
Do you know what I remember about you
from the Spirit World?
410
00:27:10,334 --> 00:27:12,251
You were worried about your friends.
411
00:27:12,251 --> 00:27:15,126
You knew they were in trouble,
and you had to help them.
412
00:27:16,459 --> 00:27:17,918
Your heart.
413
00:27:19,668 --> 00:27:21,293
That's what sets you apart.
414
00:27:22,793 --> 00:27:24,876
That's what makes you a warrior.
415
00:27:27,876 --> 00:27:30,959
I have a feeling if your father
saw you now, he would agree.
416
00:27:37,084 --> 00:27:38,626
I need to know something.
417
00:27:41,084 --> 00:27:42,876
Why did you turn down Hahn?
418
00:27:43,543 --> 00:27:46,001
Hahn is wonderful.
419
00:27:46,918 --> 00:27:49,418
He is everything that a girl could want.
420
00:27:51,459 --> 00:27:54,209
But he is not the boy of my dreams.
421
00:28:04,293 --> 00:28:06,126
My friends mean everything to me.
422
00:28:06,126 --> 00:28:09,251
I can't do this without them.
It's how I made it this far.
423
00:28:09,251 --> 00:28:12,043
And with their help is how
I'll make it through this battle.
424
00:28:13,126 --> 00:28:14,793
We're Team Avatar.
425
00:28:14,793 --> 00:28:17,376
There is no Team Avatar.
426
00:28:17,959 --> 00:28:20,334
There is only the Avatar.
427
00:28:20,334 --> 00:28:23,376
Stop thinking about what you need,
428
00:28:23,376 --> 00:28:26,251
and think about what's best for them.
429
00:28:26,251 --> 00:28:31,168
Being the Avatar means
being the one who bears the burden.
430
00:28:31,918 --> 00:28:33,376
...alone.
431
00:28:34,168 --> 00:28:36,793
I made... a carving this out.
432
00:28:38,751 --> 00:28:40,043
A bear!
433
00:28:40,043 --> 00:28:42,126
Uh, actually, it's a fish.
434
00:28:42,126 --> 00:28:43,501
See? It has a fin.
435
00:28:44,084 --> 00:28:45,084
Oh.
436
00:28:48,418 --> 00:28:50,584
Hey, so did you talk to Kuruk?
437
00:28:50,584 --> 00:28:51,876
Was he able to help?
438
00:28:53,293 --> 00:28:54,751
No, he couldn't help me.
439
00:28:58,084 --> 00:28:59,084
I'm on my own.
440
00:29:00,959 --> 00:29:04,543
Ah, Katara, how was your time with Yagoda?
441
00:29:04,543 --> 00:29:06,418
Great, but I wanted to ask.
442
00:29:07,001 --> 00:29:08,834
Where will I be stationed
during the battle?
443
00:29:10,043 --> 00:29:13,459
Women aren't allowed in combat.
I thought you knew.
444
00:29:13,459 --> 00:29:17,459
No, I didn't.
I wouldn't have accepted it if I did.
445
00:29:17,459 --> 00:29:20,959
It's not a matter of accepting anything.
It's how things are done.
446
00:29:20,959 --> 00:29:22,668
It's stupid, and it's wrong.
447
00:29:22,668 --> 00:29:24,334
This is not up for debate.
448
00:29:24,334 --> 00:29:27,168
I've been fighting Firebenders
ever since I left home.
449
00:29:27,168 --> 00:29:28,584
Can any of your men say that?
450
00:29:28,584 --> 00:29:29,668
- Doesn't matter.
- Why not?
451
00:29:29,668 --> 00:29:31,626
This isn't about them. It's about you.
452
00:29:31,626 --> 00:29:35,376
You're not strong enough.
Women aren't strong enough.
453
00:29:36,043 --> 00:29:40,334
You haven't been training and preparing
to lay down your life for everyone here.
454
00:29:42,001 --> 00:29:46,251
And I'm not going to let what happened
to the Southern Tribe happen here.
455
00:29:59,793 --> 00:30:01,459
They won't let me fight.
456
00:30:01,459 --> 00:30:03,709
They've been stuck behind this wall
for so long,
457
00:30:03,709 --> 00:30:05,959
they've become frozen in time.
458
00:30:07,918 --> 00:30:09,668
Maybe we should talk to Yue.
459
00:30:10,751 --> 00:30:13,293
- Or maybe--
- Maybe we should listen to them.
460
00:30:16,793 --> 00:30:18,459
Maybe it's better if you didn't fight.
461
00:30:20,293 --> 00:30:23,834
This battle, it'll be like
nothing we've ever faced before.
462
00:30:23,834 --> 00:30:25,959
People are gonna get hurt and die.
463
00:30:28,168 --> 00:30:29,918
I can't lose you and Sokka.
464
00:30:31,001 --> 00:30:33,168
Aang, you're not gonna lose us.
465
00:30:33,168 --> 00:30:35,543
But just the thought I could
is gonna hold me back.
466
00:30:35,543 --> 00:30:37,709
These people need the Avatar.
467
00:30:39,459 --> 00:30:41,209
And I can't be the Avatar with you around.
468
00:31:07,918 --> 00:31:11,543
I wonder what they'll call me
when the news reaches Capital City.
469
00:31:12,834 --> 00:31:16,876
I quite like "Zhao the Conqueror."
It should have some flair.
470
00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:19,876
Admiral, if I understand
these battle plans,
471
00:31:19,876 --> 00:31:22,459
you are attempting
a frontal assault on Agna Qel'a.
472
00:31:22,459 --> 00:31:26,459
The city is surrounded
by impassable barriers on three sides.
473
00:31:26,459 --> 00:31:28,876
Its front is protected by an ice wall.
474
00:31:28,876 --> 00:31:32,918
What makes you think you can succeed
when so many others have failed?
475
00:31:33,668 --> 00:31:37,459
Because I have something
none of the others had.
476
00:31:38,709 --> 00:31:41,084
I have destiny on my side.
477
00:31:42,168 --> 00:31:44,793
Despite what our propaganda
would have you believe,
478
00:31:44,793 --> 00:31:48,084
the Waterbenders are neither weak
nor cowardly.
479
00:31:48,084 --> 00:31:52,209
Underestimating them
will lead to tragic consequences.
480
00:31:52,209 --> 00:31:53,293
That won't happen.
481
00:31:53,293 --> 00:31:57,834
For one thing, the fleet has been
outfitted with new, deadlier weapons,
482
00:31:57,834 --> 00:32:00,834
but... more importantly...
483
00:32:05,251 --> 00:32:07,668
I have personally made arrangements
484
00:32:09,126 --> 00:32:11,209
to ensure our victory.
485
00:32:11,209 --> 00:32:12,501
What is that?
486
00:32:13,418 --> 00:32:14,376
This...
487
00:32:15,918 --> 00:32:17,668
this is destiny.
488
00:32:20,043 --> 00:32:23,376
He's attacking the fortress head-on,
like a bull in heat.
489
00:32:23,376 --> 00:32:25,793
There may be more,
but he's keeping it to himself.
490
00:32:28,834 --> 00:32:31,584
I fear I've underestimated Zhao.
He's more dangerous than I thought.
491
00:32:31,584 --> 00:32:32,626
Yeah, I figured that out
492
00:32:32,626 --> 00:32:35,293
as I was swimming away
from the burning wreck of my boat.
493
00:32:35,293 --> 00:32:38,251
We've almost reached the North.
Have you got a plan yet?
494
00:32:38,251 --> 00:32:39,543
A plan?
495
00:32:40,626 --> 00:32:42,418
The plan is to prove
my father wasn't wrong
496
00:32:42,418 --> 00:32:44,126
to trust me with this mission.
497
00:32:44,834 --> 00:32:47,793
The plan is to go in
and capture the Avatar once and for all.
498
00:32:48,418 --> 00:32:51,293
The plan is to reclaim
what's rightfully mine!
499
00:32:53,251 --> 00:32:54,543
So no plan?
500
00:32:56,043 --> 00:32:57,334
I'm working on it, Uncle.
501
00:32:59,084 --> 00:33:01,418
I'm still surprised by Zhao's boldness.
502
00:33:01,418 --> 00:33:03,334
I'd have thought it beyond him.
503
00:33:03,334 --> 00:33:06,501
It's almost as if
he's working with someone else.
504
00:33:07,376 --> 00:33:09,168
Someone much smarter.
505
00:33:11,668 --> 00:33:12,918
Choose your opponent.
506
00:33:18,334 --> 00:33:19,168
No.
507
00:33:19,876 --> 00:33:22,668
- You must select one--
- No, I'm done.
508
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:26,168
- Azula, stop playing games.
- I'm not the one playing games.
509
00:33:26,168 --> 00:33:29,418
This is your last chance. Fight or fail.
510
00:33:35,168 --> 00:33:36,126
No.
511
00:33:39,793 --> 00:33:40,709
You dare!
512
00:34:17,959 --> 00:34:18,959
Ha!
513
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,126
You wanna test me?
514
00:34:32,584 --> 00:34:33,709
Set me loose.
515
00:34:34,668 --> 00:34:37,918
Let me go into the world
and show you what I can really do.
516
00:34:38,626 --> 00:34:40,793
I'm through playing games here.
517
00:34:45,751 --> 00:34:46,751
Hmm.
518
00:34:50,334 --> 00:34:51,709
Look, Pakku's an idiot.
519
00:34:53,876 --> 00:34:55,709
It doesn't matter what other people think.
520
00:34:55,709 --> 00:34:58,668
It doesn't matter if Dad didn't think
I'd be a great warrior,
521
00:34:58,668 --> 00:35:00,793
but I can still be great in some way.
522
00:35:00,793 --> 00:35:03,709
The point is, I get to decide,
523
00:35:04,668 --> 00:35:08,793
just like you get to decide who you are.
Not Pakku or anyone else.
524
00:35:10,834 --> 00:35:12,834
I'm gonna challenge Pakku to fight.
525
00:35:13,626 --> 00:35:15,626
I know. He's a master.
526
00:35:15,626 --> 00:35:19,001
He's probably gonna mop the floor with me,
but it doesn't matter.
527
00:35:19,543 --> 00:35:21,543
All my life, I've held myself back,
528
00:35:21,543 --> 00:35:23,918
and I'm not gonna let someone else
do it to me now.
529
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:29,584
Katara.
530
00:35:31,376 --> 00:35:34,709
Remember at the Southern Air Temple
when you said we had to go with Aang?
531
00:35:36,209 --> 00:35:38,293
That we had to help him save the world?
532
00:35:40,459 --> 00:35:41,626
You were right.
533
00:35:41,626 --> 00:35:42,959
If we hadn't gone with him,
534
00:35:42,959 --> 00:35:46,084
I wouldn't have seen
how two kids from the Southern Water Tribe
535
00:35:46,084 --> 00:35:47,668
can measure up to anyone.
536
00:35:48,709 --> 00:35:51,876
Firebenders, Earthbenders,
spirit creatures,
537
00:35:51,876 --> 00:35:54,334
even strapping,
young Northern Water Tribe Warriors--
538
00:35:54,334 --> 00:35:57,834
Sokka, if you're trying to talk sense
into me, you're not doing a very good job.
539
00:35:57,834 --> 00:36:00,418
Sense? Who's talking sense?
540
00:36:01,959 --> 00:36:04,043
No, what I'm trying to tell you is...
541
00:36:06,543 --> 00:36:07,584
go kick his ass.
542
00:36:16,126 --> 00:36:19,084
What's going on?
I'm not going to fight you.
543
00:36:19,084 --> 00:36:21,668
Because you're afraid of
what you might learn. That you're wrong.
544
00:36:21,668 --> 00:36:22,584
Please.
545
00:36:23,168 --> 00:36:25,751
Go back to the healing huts
with the other women.
546
00:36:29,084 --> 00:36:30,543
Whoa!
547
00:36:35,418 --> 00:36:37,501
Fine. You wanna learn how to fight?
548
00:36:38,001 --> 00:36:39,501
Study closely.
549
00:37:20,918 --> 00:37:22,043
Had enough?
550
00:37:33,626 --> 00:37:34,793
Is that all you got?
551
00:38:46,959 --> 00:38:48,084
I'll say this.
552
00:38:49,084 --> 00:38:51,168
You're an excellent Waterbender.
553
00:38:51,168 --> 00:38:52,918
But you still won't let me fight.
554
00:38:54,251 --> 00:38:55,126
No.
555
00:39:04,709 --> 00:39:06,709
No one's pushed
Master Pakku like that.
556
00:39:06,709 --> 00:39:10,501
That was incredible.
Those ice disks. How did you do that?
557
00:39:10,501 --> 00:39:11,709
Can you show me?
558
00:39:14,918 --> 00:39:17,959
Well, I doubt anyone's gonna say
you're not strong enough now.
559
00:39:19,334 --> 00:39:21,293
No, they'll just say I lost.
560
00:39:22,418 --> 00:39:23,293
Did you?
561
00:39:31,709 --> 00:39:35,334
You said you're afraid of losing us,
and that's why we can't stay by your side,
562
00:39:35,334 --> 00:39:37,293
but it's my decision to fight,
563
00:39:37,293 --> 00:39:39,168
not Pakku's and not yours.
564
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:42,709
Yeah. Do you think we came here
just to leave you on your own?
565
00:39:43,209 --> 00:39:44,334
Silly Avatar.
566
00:39:45,709 --> 00:39:47,668
I don't know if I can protect you.
567
00:39:47,668 --> 00:39:48,918
You can't.
568
00:39:48,918 --> 00:39:51,709
Yeah, and worrying about
who will or won't get hurt,
569
00:39:51,709 --> 00:39:54,084
it's not just the Avatar
who has to deal with that.
570
00:39:54,084 --> 00:39:56,043
That's what it means to be a family.
571
00:39:58,501 --> 00:40:00,334
Kuruk, Roku, Kyoshi.
572
00:40:00,334 --> 00:40:03,501
They all said
that I need to do this by myself.
573
00:40:04,293 --> 00:40:06,543
The Avatar must bear the burden alone.
574
00:40:07,876 --> 00:40:08,793
This is the past.
575
00:40:08,793 --> 00:40:11,209
Now, only one person
can tell you the future.
576
00:40:11,209 --> 00:40:13,793
The person who'll write
The Legend of Aang.
577
00:40:17,584 --> 00:40:19,834
She means you. You got that, right?
578
00:40:33,501 --> 00:40:34,626
Soot.
579
00:40:35,501 --> 00:40:36,834
The Fire Nation's here.
580
00:40:38,168 --> 00:40:39,168
Okay.
581
00:40:41,793 --> 00:40:42,793
Time to fight.
