1
00:00:07,833 --> 00:00:10,000
[Appa grunting softly]
2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,208
I'm such an idiot, Appa.
3
00:00:32,291 --> 00:00:34,333
[Appa grunts]
4
00:00:34,416 --> 00:00:36,541
Why was I such a jerk to her?
5
00:00:37,125 --> 00:00:38,541
[Appa grunts]
6
00:00:38,625 --> 00:00:41,125
I told her I didn't need her.
7
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:42,750
[Appa grunts]
8
00:00:42,833 --> 00:00:44,625
Practically yelled it at her.
9
00:00:44,708 --> 00:00:45,750
[Appa grunts]
10
00:00:47,041 --> 00:00:48,666
Why'd I do that?
11
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:50,583
[Appa grunts]
12
00:00:52,416 --> 00:00:53,958
Words made of air.
13
00:00:55,541 --> 00:00:56,750
Airbend.
14
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,208
Why not words bend?
15
00:01:01,291 --> 00:01:03,208
[Appa grunts]
16
00:01:04,791 --> 00:01:07,583
Wait a minute. There's a way out of this.
17
00:01:07,666 --> 00:01:09,666
I just have to say…
18
00:01:12,458 --> 00:01:13,666
I'm sorry.
19
00:01:14,166 --> 00:01:15,625
[Appa grunts]
20
00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:19,500
Is Katara…
21
00:01:20,541 --> 00:01:21,541
[Sokka] Uh…
22
00:01:22,041 --> 00:01:26,958
Right. Um, does the bluebell have
a cheese dumpling
23
00:01:27,041 --> 00:01:28,583
that laments the elbow leech?
24
00:01:28,666 --> 00:01:31,291
It's okay. The Dai Li
that was spying on us is gone now.
25
00:01:31,375 --> 00:01:33,208
- No one's within earshot.
- What was that?
26
00:01:33,291 --> 00:01:35,791
- I was using the code words.
- Didn't you get the updated list?
27
00:01:35,875 --> 00:01:37,708
You updated the code word list again?
28
00:01:37,791 --> 00:01:40,791
Yes! 'Cause the Dai Li have been
crawling all over the villa,
29
00:01:40,875 --> 00:01:43,541
trying to catch us talking about stuff,
and they might break the code!
30
00:01:43,625 --> 00:01:45,166
No one can break the code.
31
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:47,041
I know the code. I can't even break it.
32
00:01:47,125 --> 00:01:49,541
Guys, it doesn't matter.
Momo ate the new list anyway.
33
00:01:49,625 --> 00:01:51,875
He ate it for security purposes.
34
00:01:51,958 --> 00:01:55,791
- I was trying to ask if Katara's here.
- She left early to meet with General Sung.
35
00:01:55,875 --> 00:01:59,000
She's very positive in the jing
about this new mission.
36
00:01:59,083 --> 00:02:01,250
I think she felt bad
about losing track of Joo Dee.
37
00:02:01,333 --> 00:02:03,083
Joo Dee's a master spy.
Who could blame her?
38
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:07,250
Yeah, it's, uh, totally a good thing
that we were all super nice to her
39
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:11,250
and, uh, thanked her
for all of her hard work and dedication.
40
00:02:11,333 --> 00:02:12,750
Okay, I did not do that at all.
41
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:14,416
- Was I supposed to do that?
- No.
42
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:16,416
What about Professor Zei?
43
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,958
Does he have more information
about the Spirit Library?
44
00:02:19,041 --> 00:02:21,791
He may have a scroll
that says where the entrance used to be.
45
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:25,708
We're sure that something in this library
tells us when the comet is coming?
46
00:02:25,791 --> 00:02:26,833
[Sokka] Legend has it,
47
00:02:26,916 --> 00:02:30,333
it has the greatest repository
of knowledge in the universe.
48
00:02:31,625 --> 00:02:32,791
So maybe.
49
00:02:33,875 --> 00:02:36,791
Right now, the best plan is
to get the information for the Earth King.
50
00:02:36,875 --> 00:02:38,958
Anyway, I better get going.
51
00:02:39,041 --> 00:02:40,875
I gotta keep up appearances
with Long Feng.
52
00:02:40,958 --> 00:02:43,583
Why keep up the act?
He knows you know he's lying, right?
53
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:50,041
Sure, but if I keep doing what he asks,
he'll think I'm scared
54
00:02:50,125 --> 00:02:53,916
because I know that he knows
that I know he knows.
55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,208
And that's exactly
what I want him to think.
56
00:02:57,666 --> 00:02:59,416
Wait, was that the new code?
57
00:02:59,916 --> 00:03:00,750
No.
58
00:03:00,833 --> 00:03:01,750
[door opens]
59
00:03:01,833 --> 00:03:03,833
[dramatic music playing]
60
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,708
[mysterious music playing]
61
00:03:18,625 --> 00:03:19,625
[music fades]
62
00:03:19,708 --> 00:03:21,708
[indistinct chatter]
63
00:03:34,625 --> 00:03:35,625
[Sung] Were you followed?
64
00:03:36,791 --> 00:03:37,750
[Katara] No.
65
00:03:38,458 --> 00:03:39,666
Any luck with our friend?
66
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:42,250
[Sung] I've been unable
to locate your mechanist.
67
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:46,208
Do you have a plan to tell the Earth King
about the comet without Zei?
68
00:03:46,291 --> 00:03:47,750
It's in the works.
69
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:49,958
And what about an attack strategy?
70
00:03:50,916 --> 00:03:54,500
The Avatar was the key to victory
in the Northern Water Tribes.
71
00:03:55,375 --> 00:03:57,833
If we're going to take the war
to the Fire Nation,
72
00:03:57,916 --> 00:03:59,750
we will need his power.
73
00:03:59,833 --> 00:04:01,916
Yeah, he's… he's working on that too.
74
00:04:04,791 --> 00:04:06,791
I know you and your friends
have been through a lot,
75
00:04:06,875 --> 00:04:10,416
but you haven't faced
someone like Long Feng before.
76
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,833
A villain who deals in fear and secrets
77
00:04:14,375 --> 00:04:17,583
can cut the heart from his enemy
without lifting a finger.
78
00:04:19,458 --> 00:04:24,166
I am rallying support from others
to stand with Aang against Long Feng.
79
00:04:24,791 --> 00:04:27,291
Our lives will be on the line
when he talks to the king,
80
00:04:27,375 --> 00:04:28,833
and yours may be too.
81
00:04:31,791 --> 00:04:33,666
I promise we will be ready.
82
00:05:00,208 --> 00:05:01,791
I wasn't followed.
83
00:05:05,041 --> 00:05:06,333
Please tell me you have it?
84
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:09,000
Your dubiety is mithering, sir.
85
00:05:09,666 --> 00:05:10,583
[chuckles]
86
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:15,625
Now, this is from personal letters
of Yao Xiaobo, a legendary scholar
87
00:05:15,708 --> 00:05:19,208
renowned more for his taste for adventure
than his research.
88
00:05:19,708 --> 00:05:20,875
A hero of mine.
89
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:25,583
For generations,
the library stood outside of Ba Sing Se,
90
00:05:25,666 --> 00:05:29,750
a resource for humans
who sought knowledge for knowledge's sake.
91
00:05:29,833 --> 00:05:30,708
[Sokka] Hmm.
92
00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:36,083
To enter, one had only to offer a piece
of their own knowledge to the collection.
93
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:39,166
The librarian, Wan Shi Tong,
94
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:42,708
oversaw the free exchange of wisdom,
and harmony ruled.
95
00:05:43,583 --> 00:05:46,250
When the halls were sullied
by warmongering humans,
96
00:05:46,333 --> 00:05:48,833
Wan Shi Tong rent existence itself
97
00:05:48,916 --> 00:05:51,750
and folded his library
out of the human plane,
98
00:05:52,416 --> 00:05:55,833
leaving a spiritual scar on the land.
99
00:05:57,458 --> 00:05:59,375
- A spiritual scar?
- [Zei] Mmm.
100
00:05:59,458 --> 00:06:01,791
I think we've seen one of these before.
101
00:06:01,875 --> 00:06:05,416
Seen? I thought it was a metaphor.
It… it's real?
102
00:06:06,083 --> 00:06:10,333
[scoffs] It's a real metaphor, all right.
We went through one into the Spirit World.
103
00:06:10,916 --> 00:06:12,791
- It's kind of terrible, actually.
- [Zei] Huh.
104
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:16,458
Well, I'd say this one must be somewhere
in the Lower Ring.
105
00:06:16,541 --> 00:06:19,500
That's the area
that has undergone the most growth.
106
00:06:19,583 --> 00:06:22,250
Well, at least now we have an idea
of where we're headed.
107
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:25,500
So,
108
00:06:26,291 --> 00:06:28,750
I can come if you find it.
109
00:06:28,833 --> 00:06:30,166
Yeah!
110
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:33,625
I mean, without you,
we wouldn't have any idea where to start.
111
00:06:37,333 --> 00:06:38,875
[Katar] So once we find the spirit scar,
112
00:06:38,958 --> 00:06:42,291
Aang should be able to meditate everyone
into the Spirit World again.
113
00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:45,208
Okay, I'm sorry. What is a spirit scar?
114
00:06:46,208 --> 00:06:48,500
It's a place where the veil is thin
between worlds.
115
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,083
A place that feels a little haunted.
116
00:06:52,583 --> 00:06:56,541
It's like walking on thin ice,
but the ice is… existence?
117
00:06:57,208 --> 00:07:01,333
So, haunted, between worlds, thin ice.
118
00:07:01,833 --> 00:07:04,833
Three things I've avoided my entire life.
Can't wait!
119
00:07:04,916 --> 00:07:08,708
Tomorrow, we'll split up
and search the Lower Ring till we find it.
120
00:07:09,541 --> 00:07:13,916
Be careful asking around.
We can't trust anyone from Ba Sing Se.
121
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,125
[Sokka] Hmm.
122
00:07:15,208 --> 00:07:17,625
What about people outside Ba Sing Se,
like the refugees?
123
00:07:18,833 --> 00:07:20,791
I'm not sure how well
they know the streets,
124
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,125
but we can trust them.
125
00:07:23,625 --> 00:07:25,500
How did it go with General Sung?
126
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,583
[Katara] She's nervous.
127
00:07:27,666 --> 00:07:29,791
She wants to know
what your attack strategy is
128
00:07:29,875 --> 00:07:31,333
to fight the Fire Nation.
129
00:07:31,416 --> 00:07:33,541
[scoffs] Of course she does.
130
00:07:33,625 --> 00:07:36,791
- They always want a big attack plan.
- They want the Avatar State.
131
00:07:37,375 --> 00:07:40,208
I know, but… I can't.
132
00:07:40,291 --> 00:07:43,833
Maybe the library will have another idea
for how to fight back.
133
00:07:43,916 --> 00:07:47,208
Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure they'll have
information about the Fire Nation there.
134
00:07:48,208 --> 00:07:49,333
Someone's coming!
135
00:07:49,833 --> 00:07:51,458
- [Toph clears throat]
- [Sokka] Oh, uh…
136
00:07:51,541 --> 00:07:52,666
[knock on door]
137
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:54,125
Toph Beifong?
138
00:07:54,208 --> 00:07:56,083
- Hide the map!
- [Katara] Just give it to me.
139
00:07:56,166 --> 00:07:58,791
Let me guess. Proposal, right?
140
00:07:59,416 --> 00:08:03,375
Tall, business prodigy, handsome.
141
00:08:03,458 --> 00:08:04,791
As if that matters.
142
00:08:04,875 --> 00:08:07,708
Um… no.
143
00:08:10,916 --> 00:08:13,000
"From the desk of Lady Beifong."
144
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,333
"Toph, I'll be arriving
in Ba Sing Se tomorrow."
145
00:08:18,125 --> 00:08:22,041
"The only purpose of my trip is
to see you and make things right."
146
00:08:22,125 --> 00:08:24,250
"Please, don't ignore me."
147
00:08:25,041 --> 00:08:27,041
"With love, your mother."
148
00:08:27,125 --> 00:08:29,125
[mysterious music playing]
149
00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:39,166
[thunder rumbles]
150
00:08:42,083 --> 00:08:45,583
So you're the ones who captured
General Tran of the Fire Nation.
151
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:48,375
We're very grateful for your assistance.
152
00:08:49,166 --> 00:08:53,291
But I am a little surprised
it's you who escorted this prisoner here.
153
00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:58,416
Suki determined, as our leader,
she needed to maintain a vigilant watch.
154
00:08:58,916 --> 00:09:02,208
The Fire Nation are unpredictable,
as you know.
155
00:09:03,875 --> 00:09:06,416
[Zei] I understand
you want to see the Avatar.
156
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:12,333
However, the Avatar and his companions are
a little preoccupied with matters of state
157
00:09:12,416 --> 00:09:13,833
and won't be available.
158
00:09:13,916 --> 00:09:15,208
But in the meantime,
159
00:09:15,291 --> 00:09:17,875
we can provide housing
in the city for you.
160
00:09:20,666 --> 00:09:24,208
Thank you, General Sung,
for your hospitality.
161
00:09:24,708 --> 00:09:26,333
I do need to warn you.
162
00:09:26,416 --> 00:09:29,125
The city is its own nation-state.
163
00:09:29,625 --> 00:09:33,083
Quite independent
from the military forces here at the Wall.
164
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:34,958
I'm not sure I understand.
165
00:09:36,958 --> 00:09:40,416
They do not discuss the war
inside the city.
166
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:46,083
We ask that you keep
our military operations confidential.
167
00:09:48,125 --> 00:09:50,750
You can rely on us
for the utmost discretion.
168
00:09:55,458 --> 00:09:56,625
[door opens]
169
00:09:57,333 --> 00:09:59,333
[indistinct chatter]
170
00:10:01,291 --> 00:10:02,708
[sizzling]
171
00:10:04,875 --> 00:10:07,291
- I'll be home late again, Uncle.
- Oh, Zuko!
172
00:10:07,375 --> 00:10:09,666
I have jook with bread and egg.
173
00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:12,750
I'll eat on the way to work.
I don't wanna be late.
174
00:10:12,833 --> 00:10:14,708
I wanted to discuss that, actually.
175
00:10:14,791 --> 00:10:19,041
The owner of the tea shop is retiring,
and well, if you want,
176
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:22,750
I can offer you a good job
with fair hours.
177
00:10:23,666 --> 00:10:25,958
No, but thank you.
178
00:10:26,041 --> 00:10:27,458
I… I have to go.
179
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,375
[sighs]
180
00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:32,583
Excuse me.
181
00:10:33,375 --> 00:10:34,333
Right.
182
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:37,208
You, hey. Um…
183
00:10:38,125 --> 00:10:42,125
Do you know of any, like,
haunted houses around here?
184
00:10:47,333 --> 00:10:48,458
Didn't think so.
185
00:10:52,125 --> 00:10:54,125
[sniffing]
186
00:10:59,875 --> 00:11:03,791
[dishware clattering]
187
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:09,458
[sniffing]
188
00:11:13,833 --> 00:11:16,166
Is that… pear and ginger?
189
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:23,208
[Iroh] Yes, it is.
I just added it to the menu.
190
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:24,541
Allow me.
191
00:11:39,958 --> 00:11:42,541
It's meant to be quite therapeutic.
192
00:11:53,666 --> 00:11:55,041
[inhales deeply]
193
00:12:02,416 --> 00:12:03,625
[inhales deeply]
194
00:12:05,916 --> 00:12:06,833
[exhales]
195
00:12:09,583 --> 00:12:10,750
This is wonderful.
196
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:12,166
[Iroh] Hmm.
197
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
My mother used to brew this for me
when I was little.
198
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:22,041
Whenever I'd get sick, she'd stop working.
199
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:25,125
She insisted she'd make it herself.
200
00:12:26,458 --> 00:12:28,333
She didn't like the way the cooks did it.
201
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:32,416
"Too dry," she'd complain.
202
00:12:33,958 --> 00:12:36,625
I never knew that a drink could be dry.
203
00:12:39,666 --> 00:12:42,208
And she'd just sit with me,
204
00:12:42,708 --> 00:12:47,250
reading, to make sure
that I drank every last drop.
205
00:12:50,125 --> 00:12:52,583
It sounds like
you have a very loving mother.
206
00:12:53,583 --> 00:12:54,958
No.
207
00:12:56,208 --> 00:12:58,541
No, my parents are not good people.
208
00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:05,041
I'm thinking about
never speaking to them again.
209
00:13:06,583 --> 00:13:07,500
[Iroh inhales]
210
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:10,833
[sighs]
211
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:15,708
It's hard when you're young to understand.
212
00:13:17,583 --> 00:13:20,000
Navigating life is complicated.
213
00:13:21,458 --> 00:13:26,416
Most of the mistakes we made were choices
that felt right in the moment.
214
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:27,541
[Toph] Well,
215
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:31,708
did you ever choose money
over people's lives?
216
00:13:32,916 --> 00:13:34,375
That's what my parents did.
217
00:13:36,208 --> 00:13:39,250
I made lots of choices
to protect my family.
218
00:13:40,375 --> 00:13:42,791
Now I can see that some of them were
219
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:45,083
misguided.
220
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:50,791
But still, I would choose
to protect my nephew over anyone else.
221
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:56,041
Do you think that's what he wants?
222
00:14:02,375 --> 00:14:03,416
I'm not sure.
223
00:14:05,083 --> 00:14:07,291
Do your parents know what you want?
224
00:14:08,875 --> 00:14:09,875
I think so.
225
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,291
As we get older, we have to find the words
to tell each other what we want.
226
00:14:19,583 --> 00:14:21,250
Even if those words are hurtful.
227
00:14:22,375 --> 00:14:23,875
[Toph sighs]
228
00:14:26,041 --> 00:14:29,375
I don't even know
if I wanna give them a chance.
229
00:14:31,041 --> 00:14:33,458
Not unless they show
that they could change.
230
00:14:36,875 --> 00:14:39,333
It takes true courage to change.
231
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:43,541
I would say it doesn't hurt to ask,
232
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:49,291
but I guess sometimes
asking is what hurts the most.
233
00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:02,375
[sighs]
234
00:15:05,250 --> 00:15:06,916
[clears throat] Um…
235
00:15:08,416 --> 00:15:09,416
Anyway,
236
00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:12,000
thanks for the drink.
237
00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:15,666
And the advice, of course.
238
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:17,041
Thank you.
239
00:15:17,541 --> 00:15:21,791
After all, sharing tea
with a fascinating stranger
240
00:15:21,875 --> 00:15:23,875
is one of life's true delights.
241
00:15:27,458 --> 00:15:28,750
[Toph] Right.
242
00:15:28,833 --> 00:15:30,041
Stranger.
243
00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:43,541
These are your accommodations
for your stay.
244
00:15:43,625 --> 00:15:46,875
After you settle in,
I can show you to the marketplace.
245
00:15:51,666 --> 00:15:53,708
Thank you very much, Joo Dee.
246
00:15:54,833 --> 00:15:58,333
- Pardon the interruption.
- Cultural Minister, what an honor.
247
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:00,541
Just a quick visit.
248
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:05,583
I could not miss the opportunity
to meet the famed Kyoshi Warriors.
249
00:16:06,166 --> 00:16:09,541
I am Long Feng,
Cultural Minister to the Earth King.
250
00:16:09,625 --> 00:16:10,500
A humble gift.
251
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,625
Delicacies from your home island.
252
00:16:17,666 --> 00:16:19,250
Cultural Minister,
253
00:16:19,333 --> 00:16:22,166
it is an honor and a relief
to meet a nobleman
254
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:24,208
who reports directly to the king.
255
00:16:24,291 --> 00:16:28,500
The Kyoshi Warriors pledge
absolute fealty to his grace.
256
00:16:29,458 --> 00:16:31,375
His Majesty will be pleased.
257
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,000
My warrior sisters and I
undertook great risk
258
00:16:35,083 --> 00:16:37,708
to capture the High Commander
of the Fire Nation forces,
259
00:16:37,791 --> 00:16:40,875
and we want to be sure
that the Earth King himself
260
00:16:40,958 --> 00:16:43,000
has a chance to interrogate this asset.
261
00:16:43,083 --> 00:16:47,708
I'm sure he will be kept abreast
of the information gathered
262
00:16:47,791 --> 00:16:50,458
from the prisoner who is being held…
263
00:16:50,541 --> 00:16:52,250
By General Sung.
264
00:16:53,916 --> 00:16:56,750
They cautioned us to be discreet
about what we say in the city,
265
00:16:56,833 --> 00:16:58,458
so I do hope I haven't overstepped.
266
00:16:58,541 --> 00:17:00,041
Of course not.
267
00:17:00,541 --> 00:17:03,916
Please, let Joo Dee know
if you need anything.
268
00:17:05,666 --> 00:17:07,458
Joo Dee, a quick word?
269
00:17:15,375 --> 00:17:17,375
[suspenseful music playing]
270
00:17:19,291 --> 00:17:21,458
[Azula] What did you make
of his body language, Ty Lee?
271
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:24,750
He almost popped a blood vessel
when you said General Sung's name.
272
00:17:24,833 --> 00:17:28,125
He clearly didn't know
about Tran being held prisoner.
273
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,333
You really think he'll tell the king?
274
00:17:33,208 --> 00:17:35,666
Information is power to someone like him.
275
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:39,041
[suspenseful music swells, then fades]
276
00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:41,833
[Jet sighs]
277
00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:45,666
You treat all your merch like that?
278
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:47,916
You're gonna melt it down
for scrap anyway.
279
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,708
Unless you're… you're buying a teapot
for your granny.
280
00:17:53,041 --> 00:17:54,750
- Fifteen.
- Twenty.
281
00:17:54,833 --> 00:17:56,791
Sixteen. Nineteen.
282
00:17:56,875 --> 00:17:58,791
Seventeen. Seventeen and a half.
283
00:17:58,875 --> 00:18:00,833
- [gasps] Deal.
- [Jet] Deal.
284
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,083
- [man] Look out!
- [whooshing]
285
00:18:07,625 --> 00:18:08,750
Octopus shark!
286
00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:10,833
- Ah!
- [knife clatters]
287
00:18:10,916 --> 00:18:11,750
Hey, Jet.
288
00:18:11,833 --> 00:18:13,208
[tense music playing]
289
00:18:15,416 --> 00:18:17,000
[Jet groans] Again?
290
00:18:17,583 --> 00:18:18,625
You can go.
291
00:18:20,291 --> 00:18:21,416
[Jet] Traitor!
292
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,333
Can't believe you defended those people
from the Fire Nation.
293
00:18:24,916 --> 00:18:27,000
What are you,
some kind of flame lover now?
294
00:18:29,666 --> 00:18:31,333
[Katara] I didn't see
any Firebenders there.
295
00:18:31,416 --> 00:18:34,166
Just a bunch of powerless people
being bullied by looters.
296
00:18:34,250 --> 00:18:36,208
I don't need a lecture from you.
297
00:18:36,291 --> 00:18:37,666
I know about that do-gooding crap
298
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:39,416
you've been up to
in that disguise of yours.
299
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,291
Healing the sick, feeding the poor.
300
00:18:42,375 --> 00:18:45,833
You should know, your little act
isn't changing anyone's lives.
301
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:52,583
[sighs] I came here
because we need your help.
302
00:18:53,583 --> 00:18:57,583
I'm looking for a place in the Lower Ring,
and you know your way around the streets.
303
00:18:58,083 --> 00:18:59,750
It's for the war.
304
00:19:00,916 --> 00:19:01,916
Sorry.
305
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:04,708
I'm not a freedom fighter anymore.
306
00:19:06,583 --> 00:19:07,625
Too risky.
307
00:19:08,958 --> 00:19:12,291
You hate the Fire Nation enough
to pick on a bunch of helpless people,
308
00:19:12,375 --> 00:19:14,666
but you can't do one thing
to fight the real enemy.
309
00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:18,625
No. Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go find a new buyer
310
00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:22,750
since you chased the last one off,
and I was kind of hoping to eat tonight.
311
00:19:26,041 --> 00:19:27,250
I'll buy it.
312
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:31,416
I'll buy it if you can help us.
313
00:19:32,333 --> 00:19:33,583
I'll pay you double.
314
00:19:34,458 --> 00:19:35,958
Triple and it's a deal.
315
00:19:37,416 --> 00:19:42,041
Eight hours of walking and all we found
were those fried flour potatoes.
316
00:19:42,625 --> 00:19:44,208
Gave me indigestion.
317
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:47,041
[Katara] Hey,
I got someone who could help.
318
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:50,750
Jet?!
319
00:19:51,583 --> 00:19:53,833
Katara? How could you bring him here?
320
00:19:53,916 --> 00:19:55,208
Uh, who is this guy?
321
00:19:55,291 --> 00:19:56,875
- I'm Jet.
- He's a bad guy.
322
00:19:56,958 --> 00:19:58,500
He tried to kill Bumi.
323
00:19:58,583 --> 00:20:01,125
Hey, if you guys don't want my help,
I can just go.
324
00:20:01,208 --> 00:20:03,208
He knows where the spirit scar is.
325
00:20:03,291 --> 00:20:06,416
We don't need help from a terrorist
who tried to overthrow the government.
326
00:20:07,083 --> 00:20:09,500
Oh, wait, we're kind of trying
to overthrow the government now.
327
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:12,083
I like him. He stands with attitude.
328
00:20:13,333 --> 00:20:14,500
[Aang scoffs]
329
00:20:15,583 --> 00:20:19,083
You hated him before.
Why are we supposed to trust him now?
330
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:22,208
We don't need to trust him.
I'm not asking you to.
331
00:20:23,333 --> 00:20:25,041
You just need to trust me.
332
00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:30,041
[mysterious music playing]
333
00:20:30,125 --> 00:20:31,166
[sighs]
334
00:20:39,166 --> 00:20:40,208
[music fades]
335
00:20:40,291 --> 00:20:42,625
Oh, Zuko, you're home.
336
00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:44,833
I'm just heading out. Night shift.
337
00:20:45,458 --> 00:20:46,500
Not yet.
338
00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:48,666
Not until we talk.
339
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:49,875
We can talk later.
340
00:20:49,958 --> 00:20:53,291
Zuko, we've put this off for too long.
341
00:20:54,083 --> 00:20:56,000
Sit down, please.
342
00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:02,250
[Zuko sighs]
343
00:21:04,625 --> 00:21:05,750
[sighs]
344
00:21:15,541 --> 00:21:17,375
Back on the farm, what you said…
345
00:21:17,458 --> 00:21:18,333
I…
346
00:21:19,458 --> 00:21:20,583
I was angry.
347
00:21:22,250 --> 00:21:25,458
It wasn't right to blame you
for what's happened to me.
348
00:21:25,541 --> 00:21:26,500
[Iroh] No.
349
00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:28,416
It was right.
350
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:32,250
Everything you said was right.
351
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,791
When my son died,
I ran from my responsibility.
352
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:40,125
I should have stood up.
353
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:43,916
Every day I saw my brother with the crown,
354
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,083
I felt it.
355
00:21:46,208 --> 00:21:47,583
What he did to you.
356
00:21:49,916 --> 00:21:54,666
I've been trying to be a father to you
because I know how your father is.
357
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:57,833
But I've also been trying to turn you
358
00:21:58,333 --> 00:22:02,583
into the man I hoped Lu Ten would be
359
00:22:03,458 --> 00:22:06,375
instead of helping you
become your own man.
360
00:22:08,750 --> 00:22:10,041
That wasn't right.
361
00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:12,875
I'm sorry.
362
00:22:17,458 --> 00:22:19,291
And now it's time to make up for it.
363
00:22:19,791 --> 00:22:22,125
I'm ready to face my mistakes
364
00:22:22,625 --> 00:22:23,791
and correct them.
365
00:22:25,208 --> 00:22:27,791
I must ask you, too, Zuko,
366
00:22:27,875 --> 00:22:31,375
to choose what kind of man you want to be.
367
00:22:31,875 --> 00:22:33,625
But choose for yourself.
368
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:36,458
And whatever you choose,
369
00:22:36,541 --> 00:22:38,791
whatever path you walk down,
370
00:22:39,958 --> 00:22:41,916
I will always love you.
371
00:22:47,708 --> 00:22:49,708
[sentimental music playing]
372
00:23:07,875 --> 00:23:09,875
[indistinct chatter]
373
00:23:12,916 --> 00:23:16,916
You know, what we really need
are some aromatic bath salts.
374
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,166
All of that roughing it, you know?
375
00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:21,791
Oh, yes. I know just the vendor.
376
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:25,375
There's the grocer back there.
377
00:23:25,875 --> 00:23:27,125
And the bookish woman.
378
00:23:27,208 --> 00:23:28,625
[Mai] And Joo Dee is clearly a spy.
379
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,583
This place is crawling.
380
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:34,291
The military and the city rulers
are in a cold war,
381
00:23:34,375 --> 00:23:37,291
and order is maintained through
secret police and paranoia.
382
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:41,416
Do you know what fuels
all of this distrust and animosity?
383
00:23:43,250 --> 00:23:44,458
Weakness.
384
00:23:45,791 --> 00:23:47,291
The Earth King is weak.
385
00:23:49,291 --> 00:23:51,750
Maybe under the influence
of some shadow ruler.
386
00:23:53,541 --> 00:23:56,916
If there is a shadow ruler,
387
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,708
they would be the key.
388
00:23:58,791 --> 00:24:01,333
Might be open to listening to reason.
389
00:24:01,916 --> 00:24:04,958
As long as they're more afraid
of losing control than they are of me.
390
00:24:05,625 --> 00:24:07,416
That hardly seems possible.
391
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:08,375
[Azula] Hmm.
392
00:24:10,708 --> 00:24:12,458
It'd be fairly simple to catch my brother
393
00:24:12,541 --> 00:24:14,791
if I had a network of spies
at my disposal.
394
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:21,000
All we have to do now
is figure out who the shadow ruler is.
395
00:24:21,958 --> 00:24:23,375
How do we do that?
396
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:28,166
Unfortunately, we're going to
have to do it the easy way.
397
00:24:30,583 --> 00:24:32,041
- Oh, Joo Dee?
- Yes?
398
00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:36,083
[screams]
399
00:24:38,708 --> 00:24:39,916
[door opens]
400
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:45,541
[door closes]
401
00:24:45,625 --> 00:24:46,541
Hello.
402
00:24:47,166 --> 00:24:48,083
Again.
403
00:24:50,458 --> 00:24:52,000
I suspected it might be you.
404
00:24:53,791 --> 00:24:56,083
We have a lot to discuss.
405
00:24:56,791 --> 00:24:57,791
[Appa grunts]
406
00:24:57,875 --> 00:25:00,333
[Zei] So you're telling me
he bends the air around himself.
407
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:04,166
[Aang] And us. That's why we don't swallow
any flies when we're riding on top of him.
408
00:25:04,250 --> 00:25:06,250
[Appa grunts]
409
00:25:19,708 --> 00:25:21,541
[Jet] Found this spot
when I first got here.
410
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:23,541
Only stayed a night.
411
00:25:24,541 --> 00:25:25,583
Bad dreams.
412
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:30,416
This is the place.
413
00:25:30,916 --> 00:25:32,750
I can almost feel it through the air.
414
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:35,250
Thank you, Jet.
415
00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:40,625
[Katara] Job's done. So here.
416
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:42,583
You can go now.
417
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:46,958
So what happens now?
418
00:25:47,041 --> 00:25:48,583
[Sokka] Well, Aang's gonna meditate,
419
00:25:48,666 --> 00:25:52,625
we're gonna get pulled out of our bodies,
and Appa and Momo are gonna stand guard.
420
00:25:53,125 --> 00:25:55,125
[Appa grunts]
421
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,166
[Zei] Well, this is quite exciting.
422
00:25:59,250 --> 00:26:02,375
So, you're just gonna float around?
423
00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:03,458
Like ghosts?
424
00:26:03,541 --> 00:26:04,666
[Aang] Not quite.
425
00:26:04,750 --> 00:26:06,958
We'll be solid,
but we won't be able to bend.
426
00:26:07,625 --> 00:26:10,375
You'll wanna step back.
You might accidentally get sucked in.
427
00:26:10,458 --> 00:26:12,208
So, hold on. No bending?
428
00:26:12,833 --> 00:26:14,583
It sounds like
you might need backup in there.
429
00:26:14,666 --> 00:26:17,333
Okay. Will you just
make up your mind already?
430
00:26:17,416 --> 00:26:18,833
Maybe I can help.
431
00:26:20,791 --> 00:26:23,333
All righty. Let's do this, guys.
432
00:26:25,291 --> 00:26:29,625
[suspenseful music fades in]
433
00:26:34,208 --> 00:26:36,208
[music intensifying]
434
00:26:47,583 --> 00:26:49,083
[whirring]
435
00:26:51,416 --> 00:26:53,708
[mysterious music playing]
436
00:27:02,458 --> 00:27:03,458
[Zei] I don't…
437
00:27:05,625 --> 00:27:06,791
I don't believe it.
438
00:27:08,208 --> 00:27:10,083
[Toph] There's something there.
439
00:27:12,041 --> 00:27:14,666
Something beyond the door.
440
00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:16,791
I can feel it.
441
00:27:16,875 --> 00:27:17,875
[Sokka] Feel what?
442
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:20,500
[dramatic music playing]
443
00:27:35,125 --> 00:27:36,083
This.
444
00:28:05,083 --> 00:28:08,833
I've never been in
a building this big before.
445
00:28:10,166 --> 00:28:12,291
- You can feel it?
- [Toph] Yeah.
446
00:28:12,375 --> 00:28:13,708
I mean, I can't bend,
447
00:28:13,791 --> 00:28:18,541
but the acoustics and vibrations in here
are sweet.
448
00:28:26,166 --> 00:28:29,416
[creature] The library
is closed to humans!
449
00:28:34,291 --> 00:28:35,833
I said…
450
00:28:37,625 --> 00:28:40,541
Oh, it's you again.
451
00:28:41,666 --> 00:28:44,166
- You're that owl.
- The spirit of knowledge.
452
00:28:44,250 --> 00:28:47,041
My name is Wan Shi Tong,
453
00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:50,333
he who knows ten thousand things.
454
00:28:50,416 --> 00:28:52,000
You talk human now?
455
00:28:52,083 --> 00:28:54,541
[Wan Shi Tong] And yet
you still don't comprehend.
456
00:28:54,625 --> 00:28:57,708
This world is not for humans.
457
00:28:57,791 --> 00:29:01,708
You should've learned that
after your dalliance with Koh.
458
00:29:02,291 --> 00:29:05,750
Wan Shi Tong, I'm the bridge
between the human and Spirit World.
459
00:29:05,833 --> 00:29:07,375
Go home.
460
00:29:08,541 --> 00:29:10,458
I, Great Spirit,
461
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:13,500
am Professor Zei, a fellow scholar and--
462
00:29:13,583 --> 00:29:15,083
I care not!
463
00:29:15,166 --> 00:29:17,875
This library has been off-limits to humans
464
00:29:17,958 --> 00:29:22,083
ever since firebending spies
turned an entire wing to ash
465
00:29:22,166 --> 00:29:24,833
because they feared the information within
466
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:28,583
would be used to defeat them
on the battlefield.
467
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:29,875
We wouldn't do that.
468
00:29:31,208 --> 00:29:32,708
I'm a friend of the Spirit World.
469
00:29:32,791 --> 00:29:36,458
I know of your misadventures, boy Avatar.
470
00:29:36,541 --> 00:29:40,750
The murder of Tui and the fury of La,
471
00:29:40,833 --> 00:29:43,416
the fury you harnessed
472
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:45,791
to destroy your enemy.
473
00:29:45,875 --> 00:29:48,375
Your world is at war,
474
00:29:48,458 --> 00:29:51,833
and you desire to win that war.
475
00:29:51,916 --> 00:29:56,916
How could I trust
your intentions are pacific?
476
00:29:57,833 --> 00:29:58,916
What about the rule…
477
00:30:01,250 --> 00:30:05,458
that a person only need offer
their own worthy knowledge to be admitted?
478
00:30:12,250 --> 00:30:16,166
I offer this on our behalf.
479
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:20,125
[Wan Shi Tong] Is this the map
that guided you here?
480
00:30:20,208 --> 00:30:21,125
It is.
481
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,541
A worthy offering, Professor.
482
00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:34,166
Promise that no knowledge gained
within these walls
483
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:38,000
will be used to harm anyone.
484
00:30:38,625 --> 00:30:40,166
You have our word.
485
00:30:43,666 --> 00:30:44,750
Very well.
486
00:30:44,833 --> 00:30:47,208
How will we find what we're looking for?
487
00:30:47,291 --> 00:30:49,000
[Wan Shi Tong] There are
library assistants.
488
00:30:49,083 --> 00:30:50,708
Perhaps you'll find one.
489
00:30:50,791 --> 00:30:53,541
But the library works in its own way.
490
00:30:53,625 --> 00:30:56,416
It may choose to show you what you want,
491
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,250
but it will certainly lead you
to the knowledge that you need.
492
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:01,291
[Aang gasps]
493
00:31:05,083 --> 00:31:08,541
Do not forget your promise!
494
00:31:16,083 --> 00:31:16,916
[Sokka groans]
495
00:31:17,875 --> 00:31:20,166
All right,
let's split up into teams of two.
496
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:23,250
We need to find proof of the comet
and when it will be coming.
497
00:31:23,833 --> 00:31:24,750
[Sokka] Let's go.
498
00:31:27,541 --> 00:31:30,000
[Zei chuckles] Wow!
499
00:31:30,083 --> 00:31:31,166
This is…
500
00:31:32,416 --> 00:31:35,166
Whoa, this is incredible.
501
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:40,250
Wait. [gasps]
502
00:31:40,833 --> 00:31:42,083
It can't be.
503
00:31:42,583 --> 00:31:43,458
It is!
504
00:31:43,958 --> 00:31:45,708
The collected essays of…
505
00:31:45,791 --> 00:31:46,875
No!
506
00:31:47,458 --> 00:31:49,333
Both editions! [chuckles]
507
00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:50,875
- [Sokka] Huh.
- [Zei] Oh.
508
00:31:50,958 --> 00:31:54,416
Personal accounts of the solitary travels
of Sun Wen Lei. [gasps]
509
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:55,458
[Sokka] Professor Zei?
510
00:31:55,541 --> 00:31:57,083
Oh, I'm sorry. Um…
511
00:31:57,166 --> 00:32:00,333
I know. The comet first
and then onto these, uh, treasures.
512
00:32:00,416 --> 00:32:03,250
No, it's okay. If you wanna stop and read,
I can go ahead and look for--
513
00:32:03,333 --> 00:32:05,333
Oh, I'd like that very much, yes.
514
00:32:08,416 --> 00:32:09,416
Okay.
515
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,833
Excuse me.
516
00:32:12,916 --> 00:32:15,083
Are you a library assistant?
517
00:32:19,416 --> 00:32:20,708
You're a fox.
518
00:32:22,291 --> 00:32:25,291
Oh, uh, I, uh… I knew another fox.
519
00:32:25,958 --> 00:32:28,333
Well, she was a white fox
in the Spirit World,
520
00:32:28,416 --> 00:32:30,333
but she was a human out there.
521
00:32:31,541 --> 00:32:33,250
Her name… her name was Yue.
522
00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:35,625
Uh, do you know her?
523
00:32:36,583 --> 00:32:38,333
She here? Is…
524
00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:41,750
This is the Spirit World.
She could be here, right?
525
00:32:49,541 --> 00:32:50,541
That feels like a yes.
526
00:32:53,125 --> 00:32:54,833
[snapping fingers]
527
00:32:56,333 --> 00:32:58,250
[Aang] This must be the Avatar section.
528
00:33:00,666 --> 00:33:01,625
[Toph] Let's see…
529
00:33:04,041 --> 00:33:04,875
[scoffs]
530
00:33:06,041 --> 00:33:06,875
Whoa.
531
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:09,708
Raised characters?
532
00:33:10,208 --> 00:33:12,916
Man, this library rules. [chuckles]
533
00:33:15,708 --> 00:33:18,250
One of the previous Avatars
must've experienced the comet
534
00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:19,541
and knows what it does.
535
00:33:20,250 --> 00:33:22,916
All right, well, I'll get reading.
536
00:33:46,708 --> 00:33:48,583
The journals of the ancient.
537
00:33:49,583 --> 00:33:51,125
[Yangchen] That one was a decoy.
538
00:33:51,625 --> 00:33:52,791
Pure fiction.
539
00:33:53,791 --> 00:33:56,083
But you can ask me
whatever you want, Aang.
540
00:33:56,166 --> 00:33:58,166
[poignant music playing]
541
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,375
Oh. [chuckles]
542
00:34:01,958 --> 00:34:05,708
I suppose you haven't seen
another Air Nomad in some time.
543
00:34:15,666 --> 00:34:16,875
[Jet] So,
544
00:34:18,541 --> 00:34:22,958
are we just supposed to read books
until we find an answer?
545
00:34:23,958 --> 00:34:24,875
I don't know.
546
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:35,541
It's a bit of an odd section,
given how anti-war that bird's speech was.
547
00:34:36,166 --> 00:34:38,791
[Katara] There must be something in here
we're supposed to learn.
548
00:34:39,916 --> 00:34:41,750
How to win an unwinnable war?
549
00:34:47,166 --> 00:34:48,541
[Yangchen] So how are you, Aang?
550
00:34:49,041 --> 00:34:50,291
It's been hard.
551
00:34:51,083 --> 00:34:55,416
We brought these refugees to Ba Sing Se,
and when we got here,
552
00:34:56,125 --> 00:34:58,875
I trusted this guy, Long Feng.
553
00:34:58,958 --> 00:35:02,166
But he was a liar,
and the Great Comet's on the way back,
554
00:35:02,250 --> 00:35:04,291
and I don't feel like I can trust anyone.
555
00:35:04,833 --> 00:35:06,958
Feels like even my friends
are keeping things from me.
556
00:35:07,041 --> 00:35:10,833
I spent most of my life
dealing with spies and liars.
557
00:35:11,333 --> 00:35:15,291
If you need guidance on trusting people,
you've come to the right place.
558
00:35:18,791 --> 00:35:19,791
[chuckles]
559
00:35:20,791 --> 00:35:22,500
Man, she is something.
560
00:35:23,666 --> 00:35:25,500
- Finding my life entertaining?
- Oh jeez.
561
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:28,000
Who are you?
562
00:35:28,083 --> 00:35:29,833
Kyoshi. Where's Aang?
563
00:35:30,666 --> 00:35:32,458
He's back there somewhere.
564
00:35:33,125 --> 00:35:35,000
I'm the earthbending teacher, by the way.
565
00:35:35,083 --> 00:35:36,125
But you're a child.
566
00:35:36,208 --> 00:35:37,625
Yeah, well, you're dead.
567
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:39,833
Is this normal for you?
568
00:35:39,916 --> 00:35:43,666
Do you jump out of books all the time,
or is this just a Spirit Library thing?
569
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:46,416
It's a being close to the Avatar thing.
570
00:35:48,625 --> 00:35:49,708
What's your name?
571
00:35:51,166 --> 00:35:52,000
Toph.
572
00:35:53,375 --> 00:35:54,333
Beifong.
573
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:57,291
I dislike your family greatly.
574
00:35:57,750 --> 00:35:58,708
[Toph] Yeah, well,
575
00:35:59,958 --> 00:36:01,083
me too.
576
00:36:02,750 --> 00:36:04,833
[sighs] What do you want from the Avatar?
577
00:36:05,541 --> 00:36:08,333
I just want to teach him earthbending.
578
00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:11,791
I mean, I ran away
from my family to do it.
579
00:36:11,875 --> 00:36:14,250
Your family is not so easy to escape.
580
00:36:14,333 --> 00:36:16,625
[scoffs] So I'm finding.
581
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:21,750
I guess I thought I did escape
with Aang and Katara and Sokka.
582
00:36:23,666 --> 00:36:25,833
It's kind of the first time
I've had friends.
583
00:36:27,041 --> 00:36:28,250
A new family.
584
00:36:29,541 --> 00:36:30,625
I guess so.
585
00:36:31,958 --> 00:36:35,625
I really, really don't want
to let them down.
586
00:36:35,708 --> 00:36:37,166
Oh. [sighs]
587
00:36:37,666 --> 00:36:40,375
You will. Eventually, in some way.
588
00:36:40,458 --> 00:36:42,833
But if you've chosen your friends well,
589
00:36:43,666 --> 00:36:45,083
they'll understand.
590
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:46,458
What if they don't?
591
00:36:47,833 --> 00:36:48,875
Because of who I am.
592
00:36:48,958 --> 00:36:51,041
You worry too much about your surname.
593
00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:54,375
My parents were not good people either.
594
00:36:55,375 --> 00:36:56,583
Who were your parents?
595
00:36:56,666 --> 00:36:57,625
[Kyoshi sighs]
596
00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:00,416
Exactly.
597
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:01,958
[laughs]
598
00:37:08,458 --> 00:37:09,375
[fox yelps]
599
00:37:22,916 --> 00:37:24,208
Am I supposed to pull that?
600
00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:30,666
[clanking]
601
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:33,708
[dramatic music playing]
602
00:38:27,375 --> 00:38:28,833
[Sokka] It's not you, is it?
603
00:38:31,541 --> 00:38:35,791
I… I just thought if I looked hard enough,
I could see you.
604
00:38:36,416 --> 00:38:40,125
Or if… if I listened the right way,
I could hear you.
605
00:38:45,208 --> 00:38:47,583
Aang and Katara say I'm the plan man now.
606
00:38:49,708 --> 00:38:51,958
The person who comes up with a solution.
607
00:38:55,958 --> 00:38:58,916
If… if I had been this person
608
00:39:00,416 --> 00:39:01,541
back then,
609
00:39:03,333 --> 00:39:04,375
that day…
610
00:39:06,375 --> 00:39:07,750
could I have saved you?
611
00:39:14,583 --> 00:39:16,750
Or am I only this person now…
612
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:20,958
because of you?
613
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:27,416
- [Yangchen] You have to risk being hurt.
- [music fades]
614
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:31,500
In my time, I was betrayed
by one of my closest friends.
615
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,458
You didn't know Long Feng was a liar.
616
00:39:34,541 --> 00:39:36,541
You just knew you needed help.
617
00:39:37,291 --> 00:39:41,500
Without putting trust in others,
the weight of this role will crush you.
618
00:39:42,583 --> 00:39:45,250
But I thought I knew people.
619
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,166
I thought I could see
if there was good in them.
620
00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:50,041
And, if I needed to,
621
00:39:51,583 --> 00:39:53,833
convince them to be good.
622
00:39:53,916 --> 00:39:55,083
[Yangchen scoffs]
623
00:39:55,166 --> 00:39:57,000
That's a lot to ask of yourself.
624
00:39:57,083 --> 00:39:59,375
You can't control other people.
625
00:39:59,458 --> 00:40:01,708
You can only control your own actions.
626
00:40:01,791 --> 00:40:03,708
Then my actions need to be better.
627
00:40:04,333 --> 00:40:06,375
I need to be so much better than I am.
628
00:40:07,458 --> 00:40:11,375
Every Avatar feels like
they're the most important Avatar
629
00:40:11,458 --> 00:40:12,666
that ever lived.
630
00:40:13,291 --> 00:40:15,250
But we all make mistakes.
631
00:40:16,416 --> 00:40:20,416
I thought I was so successful
at maintaining peace.
632
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:25,708
But my actions angered the Spirit World,
and Avatar Kuruk paid a huge price.
633
00:40:26,291 --> 00:40:30,750
No Avatar can succeed
at balancing everything forever.
634
00:40:31,958 --> 00:40:35,083
That's why we'll always need
the next Avatar.
635
00:40:36,125 --> 00:40:37,083
Well,
636
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,125
that's a little comforting.
637
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,875
At least I know
if I don't accomplish everything,
638
00:40:42,958 --> 00:40:45,625
there will always be another one after me.
639
00:40:45,708 --> 00:40:47,041
Unless there isn't.
640
00:40:49,833 --> 00:40:51,916
When you're in the Avatar State,
641
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,541
you're channeling the power
of all the previous Avatars.
642
00:40:56,125 --> 00:40:58,208
If you die in that state,
643
00:40:58,291 --> 00:41:00,625
the cycle will cease.
644
00:41:02,125 --> 00:41:05,000
No… reincarnation?
645
00:41:06,333 --> 00:41:08,625
The end of the Avatar forever.
646
00:41:08,708 --> 00:41:09,708
Correct.
647
00:41:10,708 --> 00:41:14,083
And the world will fall
out of balance forever.
648
00:41:18,291 --> 00:41:19,208
Well…
649
00:41:20,541 --> 00:41:21,791
Fine. It's fine.
650
00:41:21,875 --> 00:41:25,375
I can't really control it anyway,
651
00:41:25,458 --> 00:41:26,916
so I don't use it.
652
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Not yet.
653
00:41:28,541 --> 00:41:30,791
But as your mastery of the elements grows,
654
00:41:30,875 --> 00:41:34,125
your control of the Avatar State
grows too.
655
00:41:34,208 --> 00:41:37,916
First, bringing yourself into it
and out of it at will.
656
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,375
Then precision.
657
00:41:39,458 --> 00:41:41,666
So now that I can waterbend and earthbend…
658
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:44,416
You're probably stronger than you know.
659
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
So,
660
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,458
I could use the Avatar State
against the Fire Nation.
661
00:41:50,958 --> 00:41:53,166
I could tell the king that's the plan
if I needed to.
662
00:41:53,250 --> 00:41:54,958
Aang, I implore you.
663
00:41:55,541 --> 00:41:57,750
Wield this power wisely.
664
00:41:58,250 --> 00:41:59,666
Stay alive.
665
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:05,500
[Katara] It just started with a sick girl.
666
00:42:05,583 --> 00:42:09,833
She needed golden nettles,
and I couldn't risk being identified.
667
00:42:10,791 --> 00:42:12,500
Because it might look bad for Aang?
668
00:42:13,916 --> 00:42:15,875
He seems like he'd understand.
669
00:42:16,375 --> 00:42:18,000
I don't need him to, though.
670
00:42:19,291 --> 00:42:21,000
I don't need you to either.
671
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:26,375
It's just something that I had to do.
672
00:42:29,125 --> 00:42:33,458
So you looked in the mirror,
decided to do something just for you,
673
00:42:33,958 --> 00:42:36,000
and you became a hero.
674
00:42:36,625 --> 00:42:38,041
A masked avenger?
675
00:42:38,541 --> 00:42:39,625
[laughs]
676
00:42:40,583 --> 00:42:43,083
I looked in the mirror
and became a lying thief.
677
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:45,750
Useless to everyone.
678
00:42:49,333 --> 00:42:51,833
You had your money. You could've gone.
679
00:42:52,750 --> 00:42:55,875
But you came with us
because you do wanna help.
680
00:42:56,375 --> 00:42:59,666
You're still a freedom fighter,
whether you admit it or not.
681
00:43:00,708 --> 00:43:01,791
[Jet sighs]
682
00:43:15,541 --> 00:43:17,250
Is that the duke's helmet?
683
00:43:26,583 --> 00:43:27,666
[Jet sighs]
684
00:43:27,750 --> 00:43:29,750
[mysterious music playing]
685
00:43:31,375 --> 00:43:33,208
When the Fire Nation invaded,
686
00:43:34,916 --> 00:43:37,000
he was always the first one to volunteer.
687
00:43:39,583 --> 00:43:43,333
[sighs] He kept saying,
"I trained for this."
688
00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:46,458
We had.
689
00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:48,666
Kind of.
690
00:43:50,791 --> 00:43:52,000
We struck back.
691
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,041
Insurgents.
692
00:43:54,541 --> 00:43:56,458
We knew every inch of the city,
693
00:43:56,541 --> 00:43:59,583
and we wouldn't let them move freely
without feeling our sting.
694
00:44:04,583 --> 00:44:05,666
One day…
695
00:44:07,875 --> 00:44:09,375
they were ready for us.
696
00:44:16,375 --> 00:44:19,541
There was an ambush,
and Pipsqueak and the Duke…
697
00:44:21,958 --> 00:44:24,416
I didn't see what happened to Pipsqueak,
698
00:44:24,916 --> 00:44:25,833
but…
699
00:44:28,333 --> 00:44:29,166
[sighs]
700
00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:32,000
…I picked up The Duke, and I ran.
701
00:44:35,291 --> 00:44:39,958
[voice breaking] I ran as far
and as fast as I could.
702
00:44:46,958 --> 00:44:49,583
By the time I stopped to check him…
703
00:44:53,791 --> 00:44:55,375
he was already cold.
704
00:44:59,541 --> 00:45:00,791
We were kids
705
00:45:01,833 --> 00:45:03,708
playing at war.
706
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,041
And then a real war came.
707
00:45:08,916 --> 00:45:13,875
Every single one of them
would still be alive if they never met me.
708
00:45:13,958 --> 00:45:15,500
[panting]
709
00:45:15,583 --> 00:45:17,291
[Katara] It's not your fault.
710
00:45:18,666 --> 00:45:20,541
It's the Fire Nation's.
711
00:45:21,083 --> 00:45:22,166
And you know that.
712
00:45:24,166 --> 00:45:25,458
You did good.
713
00:45:25,541 --> 00:45:27,500
You taught them to stand up.
714
00:45:30,333 --> 00:45:32,750
They would love you for that, I'm sure.
715
00:45:37,291 --> 00:45:39,333
They're better off without me.
716
00:45:43,083 --> 00:45:44,500
Everyone is.
717
00:45:48,458 --> 00:45:50,208
[Toph] We are in serious trouble.
718
00:45:50,291 --> 00:45:52,208
There's this comet coming,
719
00:45:52,291 --> 00:45:55,250
and it's supposed to
supercharge the Firebenders.
720
00:45:55,333 --> 00:45:57,416
And we have to tell
the Earth King about it.
721
00:45:57,500 --> 00:46:00,666
But we have no proof
or any idea of when it's going to come.
722
00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:01,583
Yes, you do.
723
00:46:01,666 --> 00:46:02,750
No, I don't.
724
00:46:02,833 --> 00:46:04,708
You're holding the proof in your hands.
725
00:46:06,583 --> 00:46:09,250
The Great Comet came twice during my life.
726
00:46:09,333 --> 00:46:14,125
It does make Firebenders stronger,
but it also made my firebending stronger.
727
00:46:14,916 --> 00:46:16,916
A strong Avatar can maintain balance.
728
00:46:18,625 --> 00:46:21,416
So you… you put it all in here?
729
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:22,375
Yes.
730
00:46:23,375 --> 00:46:25,916
I tracked the orbital cycle of the comet.
731
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,458
So its arrival
should be simple to calculate.
732
00:46:28,958 --> 00:46:32,583
In fact, I tracked all periods when
other elements were stronger or weaker.
733
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,375
Wait, so,
734
00:46:36,916 --> 00:46:40,625
is there a time
when Firebenders are weaker?
735
00:46:40,708 --> 00:46:45,541
Yes. During a solar eclipse,
or as they call it, the Day of Black Sun.
736
00:46:45,625 --> 00:46:46,583
[Toph sighs]
737
00:46:46,666 --> 00:46:49,333
They lose their bending entirely.
738
00:46:50,083 --> 00:46:53,583
[gasps] That's it! I have to go! I…
739
00:46:55,708 --> 00:46:57,583
Sokka! Sokka!
740
00:46:57,666 --> 00:46:59,416
- Sokka, we got it!
- [Sokka] What?
741
00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:01,708
We found the date of the comet
in Kyoshi's diary.
742
00:47:01,791 --> 00:47:04,666
The Firebenders are supercharged
by the comet, right?
743
00:47:04,750 --> 00:47:08,041
Well, they lose their bending entirely
on the day of a solar eclipse.
744
00:47:08,125 --> 00:47:09,458
They'll be helpless.
745
00:47:09,541 --> 00:47:11,583
If there's an eclipse
before the comet arrives--
746
00:47:11,666 --> 00:47:13,333
Then that's the day we attack.
747
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:19,541
No way! This is the room
where we can figure that out.
748
00:47:19,625 --> 00:47:21,875
It tracks the movement
of everything in the sky.
749
00:47:21,958 --> 00:47:24,625
So if we test the dates
before the comet arrives
750
00:47:24,708 --> 00:47:28,500
and there's an eclipse,
we can kiss those ash-holes goodbye!
751
00:47:28,583 --> 00:47:29,500
Here!
752
00:47:32,291 --> 00:47:33,458
[Jet] Is this for real?
753
00:47:33,541 --> 00:47:34,791
[Katara] What do you mean?
754
00:47:34,875 --> 00:47:36,041
Today.
755
00:47:36,666 --> 00:47:37,833
Right now.
756
00:47:38,416 --> 00:47:41,416
We might actually find a way
to beat the Fire Nation?
757
00:47:42,166 --> 00:47:43,375
We have a shot.
758
00:47:47,333 --> 00:47:48,458
Thanks to you.

770
00:50:01,458 --> 00:50:02,583
I had him.
771
00:50:07,833 --> 00:50:09,208
But I couldn't do it.
772
00:50:13,833 --> 00:50:14,708
I've got you.
773
00:50:15,208 --> 00:50:16,291
I've got you.
774
00:50:23,458 --> 00:50:25,916
[Zei] Mr. Great Librarian?
775
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,208
[Wan Shi Tong] Mmm.
776
00:50:27,291 --> 00:50:29,458
What is it, scholar?
777
00:50:29,541 --> 00:50:30,833
[Zei] I understand now.
778
00:50:31,666 --> 00:50:34,083
Why you took this place
from the human world.
779
00:50:35,416 --> 00:50:36,958
We're infected with

and power lust.
783
00:50:45,666 --> 00:50:46,875
So, um…
784
00:50:50,958 --> 00:50:53,250
that's why I have to inform you
785
00:50:54,458 --> 00:50:56,583
of a violation of the rules.

- [Sokka] From today?
788
00:51:11,583 --> 00:51:12,500
Look.
789
00:51:13,166 --> 00:51:14,416
At what?
790
00:51:20,333 --> 00:51:21,625
The eclipse.
791
00:51:22,208 --> 00:51:25,666
I can't believe it! We have it!
The Day of Black Sun! We know it!

[chuckles]
793
00:51:27,083 --> 00:51:30,458
[Wan Shi Tong] I knew
you couldn't be trusted.
794
00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:33,958
Wait, no. You don't understand.
795
00:51:34,541 --> 00:51:37,541
This isn't about hurting people.
It's about saving lives.
796
00:51:37,625 --> 00:51:40,625
Saving your lives through war!
797
00:51:40,708 --> 00:51:43,625
Wait a minute. How did you even find out?
798
00:51:45,625 --> 00:51:47,875
[Wan Shi Tong] He informed me
of your wrongdoing
799
00:51:47,958 --> 00:51:52,208
in exchange for access to this library
for all eternity.

How could you?
802

You broke your promise.
803
00:51:57,125 --> 00:52:01,541
Unfortunately, Professor,
you may not enjoy eternity much.
804
00:52:01,625 --> 00:52:02,708
What?
805
00:52:02,791 --> 00:52:05,833
You used what you learned here
to harm your friends.
