1
00:00:00,968 --> 00:00:03,037
* tense music playing *

2
00:00:05,306 --> 00:00:06,540
Which district are you from?

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,209
I live here in the compound.

4
00:00:08,309 --> 00:00:10,144
Captain Karthik found me
three years ago

5
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:11,545
and trains me in secret.

6
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:13,947
I don't remember anything
before that.

7
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,617
I don't remember
where I'm from either.

8
00:00:16,684 --> 00:00:18,586
What if the Avatar
did come back?

9
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,088
And she--

10
00:00:20,188 --> 00:00:21,189
or he--

11
00:00:21,322 --> 00:00:23,457
wasn't horrible?

12
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:25,025
What would you do?

13
00:00:25,126 --> 00:00:27,595
* ethereal music playing *

14
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:31,232
Pavi, watch out!

15
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:35,069
Earthbending and airbending?

16
00:00:35,669 --> 00:00:37,138
-[gasp]
-[heavy breathing]

17
00:00:37,205 --> 00:00:39,540
I saw it with my own eyes.

18
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:40,741
What did you see?

19
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:42,976
The Avatar.

20
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:45,646
* music fades *

21
00:00:48,182 --> 00:00:49,417
[insects chirping]

22
00:00:49,517 --> 00:00:52,253
[heavy breathing]

23
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:56,124
[sighs, gasps]

24
00:00:56,757 --> 00:00:59,527
Datu! [panting]

25
00:00:59,627 --> 00:01:01,662
Sorry for being late... again.

26
00:01:01,729 --> 00:01:03,364
I've been spending
every moment I get

27
00:01:03,431 --> 00:01:05,266
looking into
Uki's disappearance.

28
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:06,900
[sighs] No answers yet,

29
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,571
but you know me,
I'm annoyingly optimistic!

30
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,941
Everything okay?

31
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,410
Do I smell? [sniffs]

32
00:01:16,544 --> 00:01:19,313
I haven't had much time to bathe
since Ellora started...

33
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:21,615
well, falling apart.

34
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:23,117
You smell great, okay?

35
00:01:23,251 --> 00:01:24,952
We were just, uh...

36
00:01:25,051 --> 00:01:26,420
planning our shifts.

37
00:01:28,122 --> 00:01:30,624
Hey, you'd tell me
if anything strange

38
00:01:30,758 --> 00:01:32,593
was happening
in the brigade, right?

39
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:36,264
Of course! Yeah, but honestly,
the Brigade is totally normal.

40
00:01:36,364 --> 00:01:38,065
Boring, even! Ah, so dull.

41
00:01:38,132 --> 00:01:39,567
Just, you know,
punching out storm clouds,

42
00:01:39,667 --> 00:01:41,969
kicking Faceless butts--
not that I kick, I-- Psst!

43
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:43,604
You know, 'cause
I'm with the air, um...

44
00:01:43,704 --> 00:01:46,006
What makes you think
anything strange is going on?

45
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:49,009
Well, the guards
have been talking.

46
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:53,146
One saw a bending cadet
bending multiple elements.

47
00:01:53,247 --> 00:01:54,482
Which would mean...

48
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:57,185
the Avatar has returned.

49
00:01:57,718 --> 00:02:00,954
[forced laughter]

50
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:02,956
Well, you can't believe
everything you hear!

51
00:02:03,056 --> 00:02:05,459
I mean, you know
Commander Bountan once told me

52
00:02:05,559 --> 00:02:08,929
he saw a dancing lemur man
in the Harshlands!

53
00:02:08,996 --> 00:02:10,830
Heh. Crazy!

54
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:12,633
This isn't a joke, Jae.

55
00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:15,403
If there's even a chance
the Avatar could be back...

56
00:02:15,503 --> 00:02:17,671
I mean, think of the danger
we'd be in.

57
00:02:17,805 --> 00:02:19,473
Listen, Datu...

58
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,176
Hey, what's this?

59
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:24,312
Oh, uh, I was just writing
in my, uh...

60
00:02:24,412 --> 00:02:25,413
journal.

61
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:27,014
Oh?

62
00:02:27,114 --> 00:02:28,682
Writing about me?

63
00:02:29,082 --> 00:02:30,484
[crowd yelling]

64
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:31,752
What's going on over there?

65
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,487
[yelling continues]

66
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,194
"The Avatar hides amongst us."

67
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:46,534
[narrator] Fire...

68
00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:48,236
Air...

69
00:02:48,336 --> 00:02:49,403
Water...

70
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,239
Earth.

71
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:54,542
Long ago, the Avatar,

72
00:02:54,642 --> 00:02:56,577
master of all four elements,

73
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:59,012
brought forth the Cataclysm.

74
00:02:59,146 --> 00:03:00,714
Out of the devastation,

75
00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:03,484
the world built
The Seven Havens.

76
00:03:03,551 --> 00:03:05,653
Now, the Avatar has returned,

77
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:08,656
but for the first time,
there are two.

78
00:03:09,156 --> 00:03:11,525
Most fear they'll destroy
the world again,

79
00:03:11,859 --> 00:03:14,728
But I believe,
they will save it.

80
00:03:16,764 --> 00:03:18,832
* soft music plays *

81
00:03:22,370 --> 00:03:24,638
[sipping tea, exhales]

82
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:25,973
[door crashes open]

83
00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:27,975
[struggling]

84
00:03:28,075 --> 00:03:31,512
Wow, your nose has more hair
than Geet!

85
00:03:31,612 --> 00:03:32,813
[scoffs, grunts]

86
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,383
Commander, we caught them
sneaking out again.

87
00:03:35,483 --> 00:03:37,918
-[cat-monkey grumbles]
-This time, sewer.

88
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,520
A bubble bath
would be appropriate.

89
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:42,490
We were just going to Agam's
snack shop to grab some baos!

90
00:03:42,555 --> 00:03:45,058
Baos? We were sneaking out
to look for our parents--

91
00:03:45,192 --> 00:03:48,862
Oh, I forgot how lying
works again, didn't I?

92
00:03:48,929 --> 00:03:50,063
[defeated sigh]

93
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:52,433
How many times
do we have to go over this?

94
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:55,002
You need to stay hidden.

95
00:03:55,067 --> 00:03:56,937
Maybe next time,
we'll think twice

96
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:59,273
before stealing the limelight
with our bending.

97
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:00,908
I'm sorry, Commander.

98
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:03,277
We've just been cooped up
in the compound

99
00:04:03,411 --> 00:04:04,678
for so long.

100
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:08,215
The Haven's panic
will die down eventually.

101
00:04:08,282 --> 00:04:11,719
Until then, you should both
focus on mastering the elements.

102
00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:14,922
Use all of this pent-up energy
on your training.

103
00:04:15,055 --> 00:04:17,591
-Yes, sir!
-More training?!

104
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:19,860
Sir, the Chancellor is here!

105
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,695
-Hey!
-[struggling]

106
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:22,930
-[door opens]
-Whoa!

107
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:24,565
[cat-monkeys yell]

108
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:27,668
Train by organizing
the cleaning supplies. Quietly.

109
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:33,040
Someone is spreading
this rubbish throughout Ellora.

110
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,842
They claim the Avatar
has returned

111
00:04:34,942 --> 00:04:36,644
and the Bending Brigade
is hiding them

112
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,211
at the Council's behest!

113
00:04:38,312 --> 00:04:39,580
Kayoko, how many rumors

114
00:04:39,647 --> 00:04:41,482
of the Avatar
have we seen come and go?

115
00:04:41,582 --> 00:04:43,784
[sighs] This one's persistent.

116
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:46,920
I'm going to address the Haven
this morning. Join me.

117
00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:49,590
It'd be good for the people
to hear from both of us.

118
00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:52,460
-Of course.
-Ellora is counting on you.

119
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:54,261
And so am I.

120
00:04:56,597 --> 00:04:57,665
-Finally!
-I can breathe!

121
00:04:57,798 --> 00:04:58,932
-[relieved sighs]
-[relieved meows]

122
00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:00,568
-[screams]
-[cat-monkey yelps]

123
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,970
Thank you for letting me read
Uki's record, Commander.

124
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:06,073
Nothing useful yet,
but we'll find her.

125
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:07,174
I know you will.

126
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,810
Here it comes! [grunts]

127
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:12,012
[screaming and struggling]

128
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,415
[yelping]

129
00:05:16,384 --> 00:05:18,452
Good, Nisha!
Your breath is your energy!

130
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:20,488
Now let that power out!

131
00:05:20,921 --> 00:05:22,856
-Ha!
-[grunts]

132
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:26,994
[screaming in fear]

133
00:05:27,094 --> 00:05:29,397
Oh, Pavi,
if you can't fight back,

134
00:05:29,497 --> 00:05:31,064
at least stand your ground!

135
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:32,733
-[whooshes]
-[screams]

136
00:05:34,301 --> 00:05:36,604
I'm standing underground!

137
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:40,908
[grunts] Aiya!

138
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,043
[grunts]

139
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,813
Very good, Nisha!
You are improving!

140
00:05:45,913 --> 00:05:48,181
-Pavi, you are...
-[rumbles]

141
00:05:49,116 --> 00:05:50,784
[coughs]

142
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:52,620
...there.

143
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:57,124
[panicked struggling
and breathing]

144
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:58,058
[sighs]

145
00:05:58,191 --> 00:06:00,060
Enough bending. When I get back,

146
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,629
flaming sword fights!

147
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,196
[squeals]

148
00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:04,364
Finally!

149
00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:05,298
[grunts]

150
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:08,836
Nisha, did you hear
what Jae said earlier?

151
00:06:08,902 --> 00:06:11,038
Karthik has records
on all the benders.

152
00:06:11,171 --> 00:06:13,140
Maybe yours has a clue
to our past!

153
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:15,175
Karthik's already told me
everything.

154
00:06:15,275 --> 00:06:17,978
He found me
on the streets of Ellora.

155
00:06:18,045 --> 00:06:19,613
But how did you get there?

156
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:21,915
There's gotta be more
to the story.

157
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:23,383
Nah, Karthik would've told me.

158
00:06:23,484 --> 00:06:25,419
I trust my Commander. Ha!

159
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,254
Well, what's the harm
in checking?

160
00:06:27,354 --> 00:06:29,890
And technically,
we're not leaving the Brigade

161
00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:32,025
so we can't get in trouble.

162
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:36,396
Mmm, fine, but only to prove
I'm right about Karthik.

163
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:39,166
-[giggles]
-So how are we gonna get past--

164
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:42,102
Who's ready for round two? Hehe.

165
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:44,438
[grunting]

166
00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:48,241
-[chuckles]
-No, no, no, no, no.

167
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:49,443
[yells]

168
00:06:49,843 --> 00:06:51,111
[grunts]

169
00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:53,380
[grunts]

170
00:06:53,447 --> 00:06:55,082
-What are you doing?
-[grunts]

171
00:06:55,215 --> 00:06:57,084
Yeah, what are you doing?

172
00:06:57,217 --> 00:06:58,752
I don't know. Improvising?

173
00:06:58,852 --> 00:06:59,787
Argh!

174
00:06:59,887 --> 00:07:01,989
Woo-hoo! Rock maze!

175
00:07:02,089 --> 00:07:04,925
[grunting, giggling]

176
00:07:06,527 --> 00:07:07,628
Huh?!

177
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:12,933
[yells]

178
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:14,468
Sorry, Hamka!

179
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:16,937
-[giggling]
-Argh! I hate children!

180
00:07:17,037 --> 00:07:18,405
-Look out, look out.
-Stay away from them!

181
00:07:18,472 --> 00:07:20,307
-Don't make eye contact.
-Don't trust the Brigade.

182
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,309
-Yeah, don't trust them at all.
-No more secrets!

183
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:25,145
-[whispering continues]
-Don't tell them anything.

184
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,280
Morning, Elloran elder!
N-need help?

185
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:28,549
[blows raspberry]

186
00:07:31,218 --> 00:07:34,054
"The Avatar is hiding
within the Brigade,

187
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:36,389
posing as a young earthbender."

188
00:07:37,124 --> 00:07:38,792
They're pretty darn close!

189
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:41,294
Whoa.

190
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:47,334
[sniffs, licks]

191
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:48,902
[smacks lip]

192
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:52,172
Hmm. Sweet, with a smoky finish.

193
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,441
Maybe a hint of... pineapple?

194
00:07:54,542 --> 00:07:57,310
-* tense music plays
-Wait, blue ink?

195
00:07:58,111 --> 00:07:59,446
We should split up.

196
00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:02,049
I'm going to...
check for clues elsewhere.

197
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:03,483
Good idea, detective buddy!

198
00:08:03,617 --> 00:08:05,152
I'll go interrogate
that old woman.

199
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:08,321
The elderly have the most
to hide.

200
00:08:08,455 --> 00:08:09,422
[licks]

201
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:12,760
Datu...

202
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,000
Watery curry again?!

203
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:23,370
We deserve better meals with all
the nonstop work we're doing.

204
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,038
My shoulders are killing me!

205
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:27,975
Don't get me wrong,
I love being in the Brigade,

206
00:08:28,041 --> 00:08:30,043
but the fact
that half of Ellora thinks

207
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:31,879
we're hiding
the world's greatest enemy

208
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:33,847
is definitely
bringing down morale.

209
00:08:33,947 --> 00:08:35,414
First, the storms,

210
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:38,719
now we have to worry about
being kidnapped by the Faceless.

211
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,287
Poor Uki.

212
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:42,655
I miss her awful singing
already.

213
00:08:42,756 --> 00:08:44,725
Yuck! You know,
we're probably gonna get

214
00:08:44,825 --> 00:08:46,627
into big trouble for all this.

215
00:08:46,694 --> 00:08:48,562
Aren't you as curious as I am?

216
00:08:48,662 --> 00:08:50,397
In Karthik's office
could be the key

217
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:52,766
to knowing what happened
to Mom and Dad!

218
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:56,236
It would be nice to know
where we came from.

219
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,906
Maybe they've been searching
for us for years!

220
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,075
They'll be so happy
when we find them.

221
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:04,912
[grunting]

222
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:05,879
[both gasp]

223
00:09:05,979 --> 00:09:08,015
Shoot, what are we gonna do?

00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:09,717
-[deep breath]
-Huh?

225
00:09:09,817 --> 00:09:11,384
-Ah? Huh?

Stop! Stop!

232
00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:27,801
Think of the rations!

233
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,569
[gobbling]

234
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:32,505

235
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,908
Ha! Woo! Ten points!

236
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:36,877
26 naan!

237
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:38,812
-[panting]
-Come on!

238
00:09:40,648 --> 00:09:41,982
Coast is clear.

Ha! Bleh!

[knock on door]

243
00:09:54,361 --> 00:09:55,729
Datu, it's Jae.

[door creaks]

00:10:00,801 --> 00:10:02,402
Aww. [exhales]

246
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:04,037
My sweet slob.

247
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:09,910
You are keeping a diary!
[chuckles]

248
00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:11,544
Oh, I really shouldn't.

249
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:14,815
Ah-choo!

and the Bending Brigade

by any means necessary..."

My people of Ellora,

I know you are scared.

260
00:10:41,108 --> 00:10:42,575
Please believe me.

261
00:10:42,676 --> 00:10:44,778
These rumors
about the Avatar's return

262
00:10:44,845 --> 00:10:46,814
are just that: rumors.

263
00:10:46,914 --> 00:10:50,150
The Council will always protect
the people of Ellora.

264
00:10:50,818 --> 00:10:52,686
We have looked
into these accusations

265
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:55,022
and have found
not one scrap of evidence.

266
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:57,357
Check the Brigade!
They're hiding the Demon!

267

Take it easy, big guy.

276
00:11:12,973 --> 00:11:14,441
You're all liars!

277
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:17,677
I saw the Avatar
with my own two eyes!

278
00:11:17,778 --> 00:11:19,780
I've spread the news,
hoping our leaders

279
00:11:19,847 --> 00:11:21,048
would finally tell the truth.

280
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:24,151
But it will have to come out
by force!

Your name isn't here!

284
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:33,593
That's because there's nothing
to write down!

285
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,528
Karthik told me
the whole story and...

286
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:37,697
he would never keep
anything from me.

Zip it, Chancellor!

This isn't what we all wanted,
I swear.

Your cousin Binh is an airbender
in the Brigade?

304
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:24,111
I know things in Ellora
have been scary,

305
00:12:24,211 --> 00:12:26,546
but what will hurting
the Chancellor solve?

306
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:28,949
I swear, I saw the Avatar.

307
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:30,283
She was a young girl!

Are you okay?

314
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:45,833
Took you long enough.

00:12:54,641 --> 00:12:57,845
I will personally investigate
these accusations.

319
00:12:57,945 --> 00:13:00,513
And if true,
I will severely punish

320
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,883
whoever is hiding the Avatar.

321
00:13:02,983 --> 00:13:06,453
The dark days of the Destroyer
have long passed.

322
00:13:06,553 --> 00:13:09,622
Now is the age of wind and sand.

323
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:13,460
Together, we stand strong.

324
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,462
For the survival of Ellora!

in Ellora, Jae.

in Ellora.

I was in the Harshlands,

363
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:00,567
Maybe no one will notice?

[awkward chuckle]

365
00:15:06,273 --> 00:15:08,175
Here's every bender
that's been within our ranks

366
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:09,842
-for the past 50 years.
-Thank you.

367
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,512
Hopefully, this will put
the people at ease.

368
00:15:12,612 --> 00:15:14,014
[soft groan]

369
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:17,784
[exhales] I'm not used
to losing my footing.

370
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:20,153
It's the shock. Just sit down.

371
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:22,155
Let me bring you
something warm to drink.

372
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:24,992
[grunts] Don't coddle me.

373
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:28,228
You don't have to be
the Chancellor with me.

374
00:15:28,996 --> 00:15:30,697
Mmm! Mm-mm-mm! [giggles]

375
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:32,932
"We have the Avatar.

376
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:34,534
She's a young girl
here in Ellora.

377
00:15:34,634 --> 00:15:36,970
If you want to know more,
send this rattle-raven

378
00:15:37,104 --> 00:15:38,905
back with a message."

379
00:15:38,972 --> 00:15:41,574
The Avatar? Just one?

380
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:43,210
Send it back?

381
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,078
Well, why wouldn't he keep it?

382
00:15:45,145 --> 00:15:47,147
They're the best pets!

383
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:49,316
Sorry, continue.

384
00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:53,153
[clears throat]

385
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:55,022
How are you holding up?

386
00:15:55,122 --> 00:15:56,656
The Brigade, I mean.

387
00:15:56,756 --> 00:15:59,359
Honestly?
We're at a breaking point.

388
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:02,329
We need more Benders.
What if we contacted--

389
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:04,197
You know the law.

390
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:06,466
No communication
with the other Havens

391
00:16:06,566 --> 00:16:08,801

by the Council.

00:16:08,935 --> 00:16:09,769
[gasps]

393
00:16:09,869 --> 00:16:11,571
Karthik, what is this?

394
00:16:12,272 --> 00:16:13,840
[both whisper] The radio!

395
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:16,776
Have you already contacted
the other Havens?

396
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:19,579
[laughs] That thing?

397
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:22,115
It's just a broken relic
from the Old World.

398
00:16:25,118 --> 00:16:27,287
You know I collect antiques.

399
00:16:27,354 --> 00:16:28,888

See?

403
00:16:32,192 --> 00:16:33,426
Just a hunk of scrap.

404
00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:35,828
[loud sigh] I'm sorry.

405
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,497
Now I'm the one being paranoid.

406
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:39,832
We stopped a radical
this morning.

407
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:41,901
We all deserve a half day.

408
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:43,770
Maybe you're right.
[light chuckle]

409
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:46,739
Thank you again, Karthik.
For everything.

415

Karthik! You found us!

416
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:01,854
Now you gotta hide!

417
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:05,192
Do you realize how close
you were to being discovered?!

418
00:17:05,325 --> 00:17:07,394
-How many times do I have to--
-You lied to me!

419
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:09,229
W-w-what are you talking about?

420
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:12,398
You never told me you found me
in the Harshlands!

421
00:17:12,499 --> 00:17:14,567
With this bracelet!

422
00:17:15,968 --> 00:17:18,738
Yeah, and someone
tipped you off!

423
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:21,241
Who was it?!
Some crummy bounty hunter?

424
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:23,242
What did they do to our parents?

425
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:25,244
Tell us now or I'll...

426
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:27,880
burn these pajamas! Hmph!

427
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:29,716
Mm-hmm...

428
00:17:29,816 --> 00:17:32,352
Two stand-offs in one day.

429
00:17:32,452 --> 00:17:34,154
Winds guide me.

430
00:17:34,221 --> 00:17:36,389
[deep sigh] No bounty hunters.

431
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:39,426
Your parents contacted me.

432
00:17:39,526 --> 00:17:42,595
Three years ago,
I received that message.

433
00:17:43,363 --> 00:17:45,132
When I responded,
I was directed

434
00:17:45,232 --> 00:17:48,000
to a pickup site
in the Eastern outskirts.

435
00:17:48,101 --> 00:17:51,003
It said the Avatar
would be wearing that bracelet.

436
00:17:51,538 --> 00:17:52,939
But on my way to the site,

437
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:55,608
I got caught
in a sudden sandstorm.

438
00:17:56,243 --> 00:17:58,611
When I finally made it
to the pickup spot,

439
00:17:58,711 --> 00:18:00,547
there was nothing but sand.

440
00:18:01,281 --> 00:18:05,518
Then, I spotted something
strange out in the Harshlands.

441
00:18:06,286 --> 00:18:07,754
That's when I found you.

442
00:18:07,887 --> 00:18:10,123
* ethereal music playing *

443
00:18:12,892 --> 00:18:15,228
We've been waiting for you.

444
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:22,135
So these are both
from Mom and Dad.

445
00:18:22,802 --> 00:18:25,405
Nisha, I think he's telling
the truth.

446
00:18:25,472 --> 00:18:28,841
What about Pavi? Why didn't
our parents tell you about her?

447
00:18:29,276 --> 00:18:31,010
I truly don't know.

448
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,980
I was as surprised to learn
about her existence as you.

449
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,684
You should have told me!

450
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:40,720
Oh, Nisha.

451
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:42,455
Ever since I met you,

452
00:18:42,555 --> 00:18:44,291
you've wanted to belong
somewhere.

453
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:46,359
I just wanted to protect you
from the notion

454
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:47,627
that your parents...

455
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,430
didn't think you belonged
with them.

456
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:53,800
I am so sorry.

457
00:18:55,502 --> 00:18:57,870
Do you know what happened
to our parents?

458
00:18:58,471 --> 00:18:59,806
I never met them.

459
00:18:59,906 --> 00:19:02,309
Maybe they died in the storm.

460
00:19:06,846 --> 00:19:09,349
Or maybe they're still
out there.

461
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:12,719
[loud panting]

462
00:19:13,186 --> 00:19:14,521
You!

463
00:19:14,621 --> 00:19:15,855
[giggling]

464
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:17,457
Apologies, Commander Karthik,

465
00:19:17,524 --> 00:19:18,758
we tried to watch them,

466
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:21,828
but they caused some... turmoil.

467
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:24,731
We lost 75 rations of curry
in the battle.

468
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:26,933
Should I put them
on clean-up duty?

469
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:28,301
[nervous giggles]

470
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:30,570
I think they've been
through enough for one day.

471
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:33,706
-[frustrated grunts]
-[footsteps dashing away]

472

473
00:19:46,486 --> 00:19:47,720
Uh, excuse me, Commander.

474
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:50,257
I-I was just taking
some time to...

475
00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:51,858
reflect.

476
00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:54,060
It's alright, Jae. [sighs]

477
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:56,763
It's definitely been
an ice cream kind of day.

478
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:00,467
C-Commander Karthik,

479
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:02,835
today, with Molin...

480
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:04,371
Why not calm his fears

481
00:20:04,504 --> 00:20:06,306
rather than silence him
by force?

482
00:20:06,406 --> 00:20:09,242
Molin was revealing
the girls' identity.

483
00:20:09,376 --> 00:20:11,578
You must remember
your primary mission

484
00:20:11,678 --> 00:20:13,480
as a member of the White Lotus.

485
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:15,882
With respect, sir,
before I met Pavi,

486
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:19,085
I was scared of the Avatar
like the rest of the Haven.

487
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,520
I changed.

488
00:20:20,587 --> 00:20:23,356
Shouldn't we give everyone
in Ellora the same chance?

489
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:25,358
You saw what happens
when one man knew

490
00:20:25,425 --> 00:20:26,626
just part of the truth.

491
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:29,929
Imagine him
a thousand times over.

492
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:31,731
I warned you from the beginning.

493
00:20:32,164 --> 00:20:35,134
Joining the White Lotus
wouldn't be easy.

494
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,036
Someday, to protect those girls,

495
00:20:37,103 --> 00:20:39,339
you'll need to make
difficult decisions,

496
00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:40,840
like I have.

497
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,942
* soft music plays *

498
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:45,144
I'll know the right ones
to make.

499
00:20:45,878 --> 00:20:47,246
I hope so.

500
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:51,484
[yelling]

501
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:55,422
Did our parents think
I couldn't be the Avatar

502
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:57,056
because of my leg?

503
00:20:57,123 --> 00:21:00,259
If they thought that,
then good riddance!

504
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,929
Who needs stupid parents
like them?

505
00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:04,431
-Ahh!
-[loud blast]

506
00:21:06,065 --> 00:21:07,099
I'm...

507
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:09,001
I'm glad they gave me up.

508
00:21:17,076 --> 00:21:19,546
Mom and Dad wanted you
to have it.

509
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:24,784
Maybe Karthik was right.

510
00:21:25,385 --> 00:21:27,787
Maybe it was better
not knowing the truth.

511
00:21:28,588 --> 00:21:30,423
No matter what we discover,

512
00:21:30,490 --> 00:21:31,958
we'll face it together.

513
00:21:32,058 --> 00:21:33,760
You're stuck with me, sis.

514
00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:36,028
I'm like roach-mites.

515
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,297
And I'm not going anywhere!

516
00:21:38,398 --> 00:21:41,834

Akasha, this is Ellora.

523
00:22:02,722 --> 00:22:03,823
Tell the others.

524
00:22:03,923 --> 00:22:05,958
Word of the Avatar's return

525
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:07,159
