1. Water.
Copy !req
2. Earth.
Copy !req
3. Fire.
Copy !req
4. Air.
Copy !req
5. Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.
Copy !req
6. Then, everything changed
when the Fire Nation attacked.
Copy !req
7. Only the Avatar,
master of all four elements,
Copy !req
8. could stop them.
Copy !req
9. But when the world
needed him most, he vanished.
Copy !req
10. A hundred years passed,
and my brother and I discovered
Copy !req
11. the new Avatar,
an Airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
12. And although
his airbending skills are great,
Copy !req
13. he has a lot to learn before
he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
14. Oof!
Copy !req
15. But I believe
Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
16. So, what kind of trouble is Katara in?
Copy !req
17. I don't know.
Copy !req
18. In my vision, I just
knew she needed help.
Copy !req
19. It would be nice
if your Avatar powers
Copy !req
20. could be just a little more
specific from time to time.
Copy !req
21. - What is that?
Copy !req
22. Need a ride?
Copy !req
23. Ohhhh...
Copy !req
24. The Earth King
and The Council of Five
Copy !req
25. do not trust the Dai Li.
Copy !req
26. They imprisoned your leader, Long Feng.
Copy !req
27. Soon they will turn on all
of you and eliminate you.
Copy !req
28. Seizing power today
is a matter of life and death.
Copy !req
29. This coup must be
swift and decisive.
Copy !req
30. The Earth King, and each
of the five generals,
Copy !req
31. must be taken out,
simultaneously.
Copy !req
32. Long Feng has placed
you in my command
Copy !req
33. while we overthrow
the government.
Copy !req
34. If I sense any disloyalty,
any hesitation,
Copy !req
35. any weakness at all,
Copy !req
36. I will snuff it out.
Copy !req
37. That is all.
Copy !req
38. Nice speech, Azula.
Copy !req
39. It was pretty and poetic,
but also scary in a good way.
Copy !req
40. Yeah, I thought you were gonna
make that one guy pee his pants.
Copy !req
41. There are still a few loose ends―
Copy !req
42. The Avatar, and my brother and uncle.
Copy !req
43. Many times, I imagined myself here―
Copy !req
44. At the threshold of the palace.
Copy !req
45. But I always thought I would
be here as a conqueror.
Copy !req
46. Instead, we are the Earth King's
personal guests,
Copy !req
47. here to serve him tea.
Copy !req
48. Destiny is a funny thing.
Copy !req
49. It sure is, Uncle.
Copy !req
50. So, how did it go with the Guru?
Copy !req
51. Did you master the Avatar State?
Copy !req
52. Uh...
Copy !req
53. If you leave now,
Copy !req
54. you won't be able to go into
the Avatar State at all!
Copy !req
55. Aang, are you okay?
Copy !req
56. I'm great.
Copy !req
57. It went great with the Guru.
Copy !req
58. I completely mastered the Avatar State.
Copy !req
59. Yeah.
Copy !req
60. What's taking so long?
Copy !req
61. Maybe the Earth King overslept.
Copy !req
62. Something's not right.
Copy !req
63. It's tea time.
Copy !req
64. Azula!
Copy !req
65. Have you met the Dai Li?
Copy !req
66. They're Earthbenders,
Copy !req
67. but they have a killer instinct
that's so Firebender.
Copy !req
68. I just love it.
Copy !req
69. Did I ever tell you
how I got the nickname
Copy !req
70. the "Dragon of the West"?
Copy !req
71. I'm not interested in
a lengthy anecdote, Uncle.
Copy !req
72. It's more of a demonstration, really.
Copy !req
73. Come on!
Copy !req
74. You'll be fine!
Copy !req
75. No. I'm tired of running.
Copy !req
76. It's time I faced Azula.
Copy !req
77. You're so dramatic.
Copy !req
78. What? Are you going to
challenge me to an Agni Kai?
Copy !req
79. Yes! I challenge you!
Copy !req
80. No, thanks.
Copy !req
81. Oh!
Copy !req
82. Katara's fine.
Copy !req
83. You have nothing
to worry about.
Copy !req
84. But, in my vision...
Copy !req
85. I felt so sure that
she was in trouble.
Copy !req
86. Well, she met with the Council of Generals
to plan the invasion.
Copy !req
87. And since then she's been
off with your friends,
Copy !req
88. the Kyoshi Warriors.
Copy !req
89. See Aang? She's with Suki.
Copy !req
90. They're probably back at
our apartment right now,
Copy !req
91. talking about
makeup or something.
Copy !req
92. Okay, maybe you're right.
Copy !req
93. Believe me, if there
was any danger at all,
Copy !req
94. Bosco's animal
instincts would sense it.
Copy !req
95. You've got company.
Copy !req
96. Zuko!
Copy !req
97. - Momo!
Copy !req
98. There's no one else here.
Copy !req
99. Katara is in trouble. I knew it.
Copy !req
100. Oh, no.
Copy !req
101. Wait, someone's at the door.
Copy !req
102. Actually, I know who it is.
Copy !req
103. It's an old friend of mine.
Copy !req
104. Glad to see you're okay.
Copy !req
105. I need your help.
Copy !req
106. You guys know each other?
Copy !req
107. I met him in the woods
once and knocked him down.
Copy !req
108. Then he gave me tea
and some very good advice.
Copy !req
109. May I come in?
Copy !req
110. Princess Azula is here in Ba Sing Se.
Copy !req
111. She must have Katara.
Copy !req
112. She has captured my nephew, as well.
Copy !req
113. Then we'll work together
to fight Azula,
Copy !req
114. and save Katara and Zuko.
Copy !req
115. Whoa, there. You lost me at, "Zuko".
Copy !req
116. I know how you must
feel about my nephew.
Copy !req
117. But believe me when I tell
you there is good inside him.
Copy !req
118. Good inside him isn't enough.
Copy !req
119. Why don't you come back when
it's outside him, too, okay?
Copy !req
120. Katara's in trouble.
Copy !req
121. All of Ba Sing Se is in trouble.
Copy !req
122. Working together
is our best chance.
Copy !req
123. Mmm...
Copy !req
124. I brought someone along
who might be able to help us.
Copy !req
125. Azula and Long Feng
are plotting a coup.
Copy !req
126. They're going to overthrow the Earth King.
Copy !req
127. My sister!
Copy !req
128. Where are they keeping Katara?
Copy !req
129. In the crystal catacombs
of old Ba Sing Se,
Copy !req
130. deep beneath the palace.
Copy !req
131. The movements of all
the generals and the Earth King
Copy !req
132. have been plotted
out step-by-step.
Copy !req
133. Good.
Copy !req
134. And the Fire Nation Princess
is cooperating?
Copy !req
135. Oh, yes, more than cooperating―
Copy !req
136. She's really taken charge.
Copy !req
137. She's terrifying
and inspirational at the same time.
Copy !req
138. It's hard to explain.
Copy !req
139. Why did they throw you in here?
Copy !req
140. Oh, wait. Let me guess― It's a trap,
so that when Aang shows up to help me,
Copy !req
141. you can finally have him
in your little Fire Nation clutches.
Copy !req
142. You're a terrible
person, you know that?
Copy !req
143. Always following us,
hunting the Avatar,
Copy !req
144. trying to capture the world's
last hope for peace!
Copy !req
145. But what do you care?
Copy !req
146. You're the Fire Lord's son.
Copy !req
147. Spreading war and violence
and hatred is in your blood.
Copy !req
148. - You don't know what you're talking about.
- I don't?
Copy !req
149. How dare you!
Copy !req
150. You have no idea what this
war has put me through.
Copy !req
151. Me, personally.
Copy !req
152. The Fire Nation took
my mother away from me.
Copy !req
153. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
154. That's something we have in common.
Copy !req
155. Well, what do ya know?
Copy !req
156. There is an ancient city
down there, but it's deep.
Copy !req
157. We should split up.
Copy !req
158. Aang, you go with Iroh
to look for Katara
Copy !req
159. and the angry jerk,
no offense.
Copy !req
160. None taken.
Copy !req
161. And I'll go with Toph
to warn the Earth King about Azula's coup.
Copy !req
162. So, Toph thinks you
give pretty good advice―
Copy !req
163. And great tea.
Copy !req
164. The key to both is proper aging.
Copy !req
165. What's on your mind?
Copy !req
166. Well, I met with this Guru who was
supposed to help me
Copy !req
167. master the Avatar State,
and control this great power.
Copy !req
168. But to do it, I had to
let go of someone I love,
Copy !req
169. and I just couldn't.
Copy !req
170. Perfection and power are overrated.
Copy !req
171. I think you were very wise
to choose happiness and love.
Copy !req
172. What happens if we can't
save everyone and beat Azula?
Copy !req
173. Without the Avatar State,
what if I'm not powerful enough?
Copy !req
174. I don't know the answer.
Copy !req
175. Sometimes life is like
this dark tunnel.
Copy !req
176. You can't always see the light
at the end of the tunnel,
Copy !req
177. but if you just
keep moving...
Copy !req
178. you will come to a better place.
Copy !req
179. There's General How.
Copy !req
180. What's going on here?
Copy !req
181. You're under house arrest.
Copy !req
182. The coup is happening right now.
Copy !req
183. We've gotta warn the Earth King.
Copy !req
184. Thank goodness we're in time!
Copy !req
185. In time for what?
Copy !req
186. Yeah, what are you in time for...
Copy !req
187. cutie?
Copy !req
188. Uh, I'm kinda involved with Suki.
Copy !req
189. Who?
Copy !req
190. They're not the real Kyoshi Warriors!
Copy !req
191. Sorry to disappoint you.
Copy !req
192. Ooh, it's like
we're dancing together.
Copy !req
193. This fight is over.
Copy !req
194. Get them all out of my sight.
Copy !req
195. Now comes the part
where I double-cross you.
Copy !req
196. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation Princess.
Copy !req
197. I said, arrest her.
Copy !req
198. What is wrong with you?
Copy !req
199. It's because they
haven't made up their minds.
Copy !req
200. They're waiting to see
how this is going to end.
Copy !req
201. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
202. I can see your whole
history in your eyes.
Copy !req
203. You were born with nothing,
so you've had to struggle
Copy !req
204. and connive and claw your way to power.
Copy !req
205. But true power,
the divine right to rule,
Copy !req
206. is something
you're born with.
Copy !req
207. The fact is, they don't
know which one of us
Copy !req
208. is going to be sitting
on that throne
Copy !req
209. and which one is going
to be bowing down.
Copy !req
210. But I know and you know.
Copy !req
211. Well?
Copy !req
212. You've beaten me at my own game.
Copy !req
213. Don't flatter yourself.
Copy !req
214. You were never even a player.
Copy !req
215. I'm sorry I yelled at you before.
Copy !req
216. It doesn't matter.
Copy !req
217. It's just that for so long now,
Copy !req
218. whenever I would imagine
the face of the enemy,
Copy !req
219. it was your face.
Copy !req
220. My face.
Copy !req
221. I see.
Copy !req
222. No, no, that's not what I meant.
Copy !req
223. It's okay.
Copy !req
224. I used to think this
scar marked me.
Copy !req
225. The mark of the banished prince,
Copy !req
226. cursed to chase the Avatar forever.
Copy !req
227. But lately, I've realized
I'm free to determine
Copy !req
228. my own destiny, even if
I'll never be free of my mark.
Copy !req
229. Maybe you could be free of it.
Copy !req
230. - What?
- I have healing abilities.
Copy !req
231. It's a scar. It can't be healed.
Copy !req
232. This is water from the Spirit
Oasis at the North Pole.
Copy !req
233. It has special properties,
Copy !req
234. so I've been saving it
for something important.
Copy !req
235. I don't know if it would work, but...
Copy !req
236. Aang!
Copy !req
237. Aang, I knew you would come.
Copy !req
238. Uncle, I don't understand.
Copy !req
239. What are you doing with the Avatar?
Copy !req
240. Saving you. That's what.
Copy !req
241. - Zuko, it's time we talked.
Copy !req
242. Go help your other friends.
We'll catch up with you.
Copy !req
243. Why, Uncle?
Copy !req
244. You are not the man you used to be, Zuko.
Copy !req
245. You are stronger and wiser
Copy !req
246. and freer than
you have ever been.
Copy !req
247. And now you have come to
the crossroads of your destiny.
Copy !req
248. It's time for you to choose.
Copy !req
249. It's time for you to choose good.
Copy !req
250. I expected this kind
of treachery from Uncle,
Copy !req
251. but Zuko, Prince Zuko,
you're a lot of things,
Copy !req
252. but you're not a traitor, are you?
Copy !req
253. Release him, immediately!
Copy !req
254. It's not too late for you, Zuko.
Copy !req
255. You can still redeem yourself.
Copy !req
256. The kind of redemption
she offers is not for you.
Copy !req
257. Why don't you let him decide, Uncle?
Copy !req
258. I need you, Zuko.
Copy !req
259. I've plotted every move of this day,
Copy !req
260. this glorious day in Fire Nation history,
Copy !req
261. and the only way we win is together.
Copy !req
262. At the end of this day,
you will have your honor back.
Copy !req
263. You will have Father's love.
Copy !req
264. You will have everything you want.
Copy !req
265. Zuko, I am begging you,
Copy !req
266. look into your heart and see
what it is that you truly want.
Copy !req
267. You are free to choose.
Copy !req
268. We've gotta find Sokka and Toph.
Copy !req
269. See any Dai Li agents nearby?
Copy !req
270. Nope. All clear.
Copy !req
271. Let's go!
Copy !req
272. I'm not leaving without Bosco!
Copy !req
273. I thought you had changed!
Copy !req
274. I have changed.
Copy !req
275. Come on, it's easy.
Copy !req
276. You just walk on your front paws
instead of your rear ones,
Copy !req
277. like this...
Copy !req
278. That is a nice trick.
Copy !req
279. Just take the bear.
Copy !req
280. - Bosco!
Copy !req
281. There's too many.
Copy !req
282. The only way is to let her go.
Copy !req
283. I'm sorry, Katara.
Copy !req
284. You've got to get out of here!
Copy !req
285. I'll hold them off as long as I can!
Copy !req
286. Oh...
Copy !req
287. We've done it, Zuko.
Copy !req
288. It's taken a hundred years,
Copy !req
289. but the Fire Nation
has conquered Ba Sing Se.
Copy !req
290. I betrayed Uncle.
Copy !req
291. No, he betrayed you.
Copy !req
292. Zuko, when you return home,
Copy !req
293. Father will welcome you as a war hero.
Copy !req
294. But I don't have the Avatar.
Copy !req
295. What if Father doesn't
restore my honor?
Copy !req
296. He doesn't need to, Zuko.
Copy !req
297. Today, you restored your own honor.
Copy !req
298. The Earth Kingdom...
Copy !req
299. Has fallen.
Copy !req
