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. Sokka's your name, right?
Copy !req
17. My favorite prisoner used
to mention you all the time.
Copy !req
18. She was convinced you were
going to come rescue her.
Copy !req
19. Of course, you never came,
and she gave up on you.
Copy !req
20. Where is Suki?
Copy !req
21. How are we all gonna escape?
Copy !req
22. We're not. You kids have to leave.
Copy !req
23. You have to escape on Appa together.
Copy !req
24. Goodbye, Dad.
Copy !req
25. We won't be apart
for too long this time. I promise.
Copy !req
26. No one can make tea like Uncle.
Copy !req
27. But, hopefully, I learned a thing or two.
Copy !req
28. Would you like to hear
Uncle's favorite tea joke?
Copy !req
29. Sure.
I like jokes.
Copy !req
30. Bring it!
Copy !req
31. Okay, well, I can't
remember how it starts,
Copy !req
32. but the punchline is
"Leaf me alone. I'm bushed!"
Copy !req
33. Well, it's funnier when Uncle tells it.
Copy !req
34. Right.
Copy !req
35. Maybe that's because he
remembers the whole thing.
Copy !req
36. It's nice to get a
chance to relax a little.
Copy !req
37. It hardly ever happens.
Copy !req
38. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Copy !req
39. So what's up?
Copy !req
40. If someone was
captured by the Fire Nation,
Copy !req
41. where would they be taken?
Copy !req
42. What do you mean? Who was captured?
Copy !req
43. When the invasion plan failed,
some of our troops were taken.
Copy !req
44. I just want to know where they might be.
Copy !req
45. I can't tell you.
Copy !req
46. What? Why not?
Copy !req
47. Trust me. Knowing will just
make you feel worse.
Copy !req
48. It's my dad. He was captured, too.
Copy !req
49. I need to know what I put him through.
Copy !req
50. - It's not good, Sokka.
- Please.
Copy !req
51. My guess is they were taken
to the Boiling Rock.
Copy !req
52. What's that?
Copy !req
53. The highest-security
prison in the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
54. It's on an island
in the middle of the boiling lake.
Copy !req
55. - It's inescapable.
- So where is this place?
Copy !req
56. Why do you need to know?
What are you planning?
Copy !req
57. Nothing.
Copy !req
58. Boy, you're so paranoid.
Copy !req
59. It's in the middle of a volcano
Copy !req
60. between here and the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
61. You guys actually flew right
past it on the way here.
Copy !req
62. Thanks, Zuko.
Copy !req
63. Just knowing makes me feel better.
Copy !req
64. Yeah, I'm sure it does.
Copy !req
65. Shh!
Copy !req
66. Not up to anything, huh?
Copy !req
67. Ahh!
Copy !req
68. Fine, you caught me.
Copy !req
69. I'm gonna rescue my dad. You happy now?
Copy !req
70. I'm never happy.
Copy !req
71. Look, I have to do this.
The invasion plan was my idea.
Copy !req
72. It was my decision to stay
when things were going wrong.
Copy !req
73. It's my mistake,
and it's my job to fix it.
Copy !req
74. I have to regain my honor.
You can't stop me, Zuko.
Copy !req
75. You need to regain your honor?
Believe me, I get it.
Copy !req
76. I'm going with you.
Copy !req
77. No! I have to do this alone.
Copy !req
78. How are you going to get there? On Appa?
Copy !req
79. Last time I checked, prisons
don't have bison daycares.
Copy !req
80. We'll take my war balloon.
Copy !req
81. What does it say?
Copy !req
82. "Need meat. Gone fishing.
Copy !req
83. "Back in a few days. Sokka and Zuko."
Copy !req
84. "One more thing.
Copy !req
85. "Aang, practice your firebending
while I'm gone.
Copy !req
86. "Do 20 sets of fire fists
and 10 hop squats
Copy !req
87. "every time you hear a badger frog croak.
Copy !req
88. "Zuko."
Copy !req
89. Nobody else has homework.
Copy !req
90. One hop squat, two hop squat,
three hop squat, four hop squat...
Copy !req
91. Pretty clouds.
Copy !req
92. Yeah, fluffy.
Copy !req
93. What?
Copy !req
94. What? Oh, I didn't say anything.
Copy !req
95. You know, a friend of mine
actually designed these war balloons.
Copy !req
96. No kidding.
Copy !req
97. Yup. A balloon, but for war.
Copy !req
98. If there's one thing my
dad's good at, it's war.
Copy !req
99. Yeah, it seems to run in the family.
Copy !req
100. Hey, hold on.
Copy !req
101. Not everyone in my family is like that.
Copy !req
102. I know, I know. You've changed.
Copy !req
103. I meant my uncle.
Copy !req
104. He was more of a father to me.
Copy !req
105. And I really let him down.
Copy !req
106. I think your uncle would be proud of you.
Copy !req
107. Leaving your home to come help us?
Copy !req
108. That's hard.
Copy !req
109. It wasn't that hard.
Copy !req
110. Really? You didn't leave behind
anyone you cared about?
Copy !req
111. Well, I did have a girlfriend, Mai.
Copy !req
112. That gloomy girl who sighs a lot?
Copy !req
113. Yeah.
Copy !req
114. Everyone in the Fire Nation
thinks I'm a traitor.
Copy !req
115. I couldn't drag her into it.
Copy !req
116. My first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Copy !req
117. That's rough, buddy.
Copy !req
118. - There it is.
- Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
119. There's plenty of
steam to keep us covered.
Copy !req
120. As long as we're quiet,
we should be able to navigate
Copy !req
121. through it without being caught.
Copy !req
122. We're going down.
Copy !req
123. The balloon's not working anymore.
Copy !req
124. The air outside
is just as hot as the air inside,
Copy !req
125. so we can't fly.
Copy !req
126. Whoa!
Copy !req
127. So what are we supposed to do?
Copy !req
128. I don't know. Crash landing?
Copy !req
129. How are we gonna get off the island
Copy !req
130. if the balloon won't work?
Copy !req
131. We'll figure something out.
Copy !req
132. I suspected it might be a one-way ticket.
Copy !req
133. You knew this would happen
and you wanted to come anyway?
Copy !req
134. My dad might be here.
I had to come and see.
Copy !req
135. Uncle always said I never
thought things through.
Copy !req
136. But this?
Copy !req
137. This is just crazy!
Copy !req
138. Hey, I never wanted you
to come along in the first place.
Copy !req
139. And for the record,
I always think things through.
Copy !req
140. But my plans haven't exactly worked.
Copy !req
141. So this time, I'm playing it by ear.
Copy !req
142. So there!
Copy !req
143. - Aah!
Copy !req
144. What are you doing?
Copy !req
145. It doesn't work anyway, and
we don't want anyone to find it.
Copy !req
146. I hope you know what you're doing.
Copy !req
147. There's no turning back now.
Copy !req
148. I hope these disguises work.
Copy !req
149. We just need to lay low and
find my dad as soon as possible.
Copy !req
150. Guards! There's a scuffle in the yard.
Copy !req
151. Come on!
Copy !req
152. I didn't do anything.
I'm going back to my cell.
Copy !req
153. Stop right there, Chit Sang!
Copy !req
154. We can't blow our cover.
Copy !req
155. I've had it with your unruly behavior.
Copy !req
156. What did I do?
Copy !req
157. He wants to know what he did.
Isn't that cute?
Copy !req
158. - Uh, yeah, very cute, sir.
- Super cute.
Copy !req
159. You didn't bow down
when I walked by, Chit Sang.
Copy !req
160. What? That's not a prison rule.
Copy !req
161. Do it!
Copy !req
162. Make me.
Copy !req
163. Firebending is prohibited.
You're goin' in the cooler.
Copy !req
164. You! Help me take him in.
Copy !req
165. Meet back here in an hour.
Copy !req
166. The warden will deal with you soon.
Copy !req
167. Can you believe this guy?
Copy !req
168. Prisoners! Am I right?
Copy !req
169. Tell me about it.
Copy !req
170. Ha-ha! Hey, new guy!
Copy !req
171. I know it's the rule to have
your helmet on at all times,
Copy !req
172. but this is the lounge.
Copy !req
173. Relax!
Copy !req
174. But what if there's an incident?
Copy !req
175. If I'm not prepared, someone
could strike me on the head.
Copy !req
176. Give it a week. He'll loosen up.
Copy !req
177. Can the new guy ask you veterans
Copy !req
178. a few questions about the prison?
Copy !req
179. No, you can't date the female guards.
Copy !req
180. Trust me, you don't want to.
Copy !req
181. No, that's not it.
Copy !req
182. The Boiling Rock.
Copy !req
183. It holds the Fire Nation's
most dangerous criminals, right?
Copy !req
184. So what about war prisoners?
Copy !req
185. It sure looks cold in there.
Copy !req
186. That's why we call it the cooler.
Copy !req
187. He won't be firebending in there.
Copy !req
188. It's the warden! Look alive!
Copy !req
189. So, Chit Sang, I hear you used
firebending to try to escape.
Copy !req
190. You should know better.
Copy !req
191. I wasn't trying to escape.
Copy !req
192. He's lying!
I saw him with my own eyes.
Copy !req
193. No one has ever, ever escaped from here.
Copy !req
194. I'd sooner jump in the boiling lake myself
Copy !req
195. than let that record fall.
Copy !req
196. Don't forget it.
Copy !req
197. Now go back to your shivering.
Copy !req
198. Hey, there, fellow guard. How goes it?
Copy !req
199. Zuko?
Copy !req
200. Shh!
Copy !req
201. Listen, I asked around the lounge.
Copy !req
202. There are no Water Tribe prisoners.
Copy !req
203. I'm afraid your father's not here.
Copy !req
204. What? Are you sure?
Copy !req
205. Did you double check?
Copy !req
206. Yeah, I'm sure.
Copy !req
207. No. No!
Copy !req
208. I'm really sorry, Sokka.
Copy !req
209. So we came all this way for nothing?
Copy !req
210. I failed... again.
Copy !req
211. Ah, what would Uncle say?
Copy !req
212. Sometimes clouds have two sides,
a dark and light,
Copy !req
213. and a silver lining in between.
Copy !req
214. It's like a silver sandwich.
Copy !req
215. So when life seems hard,
take a bite out of the silver sandwich.
Copy !req
216. Maybe we haven't failed after all!
Copy !req
217. That's the spirit!
I can't believe that worked.
Copy !req
218. I didn't even know what I was saying.
Copy !req
219. No, what you said made no sense at all.
Copy !req
220. But look!
Copy !req
221. It's Suki!
Copy !req
222. Prisoners! Back in your cells!
Copy !req
223. What is it? Did I do something wrong?
Copy !req
224. You mean you don't recognize me?
Copy !req
225. You people all look the same to me.
Copy !req
226. Oh? Then maybe you'll recognize this.
Copy !req
227. Sokka! It's you!
Copy !req
228. The other Kyoshi Warriors, are they here?
Copy !req
229. No. I don't know where they are.
Copy !req
230. They locked me in here,
because I'm the leader.
Copy !req
231. Well, you won't be here for long.
I'm busting you out.
Copy !req
232. I'm so glad to see you, Sokka.
I knew you'd come.
Copy !req
233. Excuse me. I need to get into that cell.
Copy !req
234. No, you can't go in there.
Copy !req
235. The lights are out.
Copy !req
236. The prisoner could sneak up on you.
Copy !req
237. Step aside, fool!
Copy !req
238. Hey, hey, what are you doing?
Copy !req
239. Guard, help! I think he's an imposter!
Copy !req
240. Aah! Arrest him!
Copy !req
241. Get him off me and arrest him!
Copy !req
242. You're under arrest!
Copy !req
243. Don't worry. I'll figure it out.
Copy !req
244. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
245. I never thought I'd find you
in here, Prince Zuko.
Copy !req
246. How did you know who I am?
Copy !req
247. How could I not?
You broke my niece's heart.
Copy !req
248. You're Mai's uncle?
Copy !req
249. I never meant to hurt her.
Copy !req
250. Quiet!
Copy !req
251. You're my special prisoner now.
And you best behave.
Copy !req
252. If these criminals found out who you are,
Copy !req
253. the traitor prince
who let his nation down,
Copy !req
254. why, they'd tear you to shreds.
Copy !req
255. So what's in it for you?
Copy !req
256. Why don't you just tell my father
and collect a reward?
Copy !req
257. Oh, in due time, believe me.
I intend to collect.
Copy !req
258. Oh, good. You guys have met.
Copy !req
259. Actually, we met a long time ago.
Copy !req
260. We did?
Copy !req
261. Yeah, you kinda burned down my village.
Copy !req
262. Oh, sorry about that.
Nice to see you again.
Copy !req
263. So listen, I think I have an escape plan.
Copy !req
264. I checked out the coolers again.
Copy !req
265. The whole point of them
is to keep firebenders contained, right?
Copy !req
266. Yeah.
Copy !req
267. So they're completely insulated and sealed
Copy !req
268. to keep the cold in.
Copy !req
269. Well, to keep the cold in,
Copy !req
270. it also has to keep the heat out, right?
Copy !req
271. Just get to the point, Sokka.
Copy !req
272. It's a perfect boat
Copy !req
273. for getting through the boiling water.
Copy !req
274. The cooler as a boat? Are you sure?
Copy !req
275. I'm telling you, it'll work.
Copy !req
276. I walked around the perimeter.
Copy !req
277. There's a blind spot
between two guard towers.
Copy !req
278. It's the perfect launching point.
Copy !req
279. I already tested it out.
Copy !req
280. We'll roll the cooler into the water
Copy !req
281. and just float with the current.
It'll take us straight across.
Copy !req
282. As long as we don't make a sound,
no one will notice.
Copy !req
283. And bing, bang, boom, we're home free!
Copy !req
284. But how are you gonna get the cooler out?
Copy !req
285. Yeah, how are you
gonna get the cooler out?
Copy !req
286. What? We didn't... We didn't say that!
Copy !req
287. Yeah, you heard wrong.
Copy !req
288. I heard you hatching
an escape plan, and I want in.
Copy !req
289. There's nothing to get in on.
Copy !req
290. Yeah, the only thing
we're hatching is... an egg?
Copy !req
291. Okay, well, I come with you,
Copy !req
292. or the warden hears about this egg, too.
Copy !req
293. I guess we have no choice.
Copy !req
294. Okay, you're in.
Copy !req
295. Now, first we need someone
to unbolt the cooler
Copy !req
296. from the inside.
Copy !req
297. Oh, I can get you inside.
Copy !req
298. Hey, what are you? Stupid?
Copy !req
299. Watch where you're going!
Copy !req
300. Hey, you watch who you're shoving!
Copy !req
301. I think you mean whom I'm shoving.
Copy !req
302. I need backup over here!
Copy !req
303. No firebending. Into the cooler!
Copy !req
304. I can take you back to your cell
Copy !req
305. if you've learned your lesson.
Copy !req
306. Yes, I have. Completely.
Copy !req
307. I got Suki and Chit Sang
Copy !req
308. out of their cells a few minutes ago.
Copy !req
309. They'll be waiting for us at the shore.
Copy !req
310. - Someone's coming!
Copy !req
311. Yeah, new arrivals coming in at dawn.
Copy !req
312. - Anybody interesting?
- Nah, just the usual.
Copy !req
313. Some robbers, couple of traitors,
some war prisoners.
Copy !req
314. Though I did hear there might be a pirate.
Copy !req
315. No foolin'!
Copy !req
316. War prisoners. It could be your father.
Copy !req
317. I know.
Copy !req
318. Well, what should we do?
Copy !req
319. Are we going ahead with the plan
or are we waiting another night?
Copy !req
320. I don't know.
Copy !req
321. Is it right for me to risk Suki's freedom,
Copy !req
322. all of our freedom,
Copy !req
323. on the slim chance
that my dad is gonna show up?
Copy !req
324. It's your call, Sokka.
Copy !req
325. Took you guys long enough.
Copy !req
326. This here's my girl and my best buddy.
Copy !req
327. They're coming, too.
Copy !req
328. Fine. Everybody in the cooler.
Copy !req
329. Let's go.
Copy !req
330. Are you sure you wanna go?
Copy !req
331. You're the one who said
you wanted to redeem yourself,
Copy !req
332. redeem your honor.
Copy !req
333. Rescuing your dad is your chance.
Copy !req
334. Your dad?
Copy !req
335. If I had just cut my losses
at the invasion,
Copy !req
336. maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
Copy !req
337. Maybe sometimes it's just better
Copy !req
338. to call it quits before you fail.
Copy !req
339. No, it's not.
Copy !req
340. Look, Sokka, you're going to fail a lot
Copy !req
341. before things work out.
Copy !req
342. That's supposed to make me feel better?
Copy !req
343. Even though you'll probably fail
Copy !req
344. over and over and over again...
Copy !req
345. - Seriously, not helping.
- ... you have to try every time.
Copy !req
346. You can't quit because
you're afraid you might fail.
Copy !req
347. Hey, if you two are done cuddling,
can we get a move on?
Copy !req
348. No, I'm staying.
Copy !req
349. You guys go. You've been here long enough.
Copy !req
350. I'm not leaving without you, Sokka.
Copy !req
351. I'm staying, too.
Copy !req
352. Not me. I'm out.
Copy !req
353. Let's roll, baby.
Copy !req
354. We gave up
our only chance of escaping.
Copy !req
355. I hope we haven't
just made a huge mistake.
Copy !req
356. Ah, this current is so slow.
Copy !req
357. I can use this to paddle.
Copy !req
358. Guards, secure the perimeter
and lock down the prisoners!
Copy !req
359. Now!
Copy !req
360. The plan failed! They're caught!
Copy !req
361. Get the fugitives
and throw them in the cooler!
Copy !req
362. Uh, they are in a cooler, sir.
Copy !req
363. One that's bolted down
and not floating in the water!
Copy !req
364. This is a lockdown!
We have new prisoners arriving.
Copy !req
365. Everything must be completely secure.
Copy !req
366. The gondola's moving.
Copy !req
367. This is it.
Copy !req
368. If my dad's not there,
we risked everything for nothing.
Copy !req
369. We had to.
Copy !req
370. Come on, come on!
Copy !req
371. Is that him?
Copy !req
372. My dad doesn't have a nose ring.
Copy !req
373. Where is he?
Copy !req
374. That's it? That can't be it.
Copy !req
375. I'm sorry, Sokka.
Copy !req
376. Oh, no!
Copy !req
377. Hey, you! Get off the gondola!
Copy !req
378. Dad.
Copy !req
