City of Walls and Secrets
00:00:07Girl: WATER.
00:00:09EARTH.
00:00:11FIRE.
00:00:13AIR.
00:00:16LONG AGO, THE FOUR NATIONS LIVED TOGETHER IN HARMONY.
00:00:20THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED.
00:00:24ONLY THE AVATAR, MASTER OF ALL FOUR ELEMENTS, COULD STOP THEM.
00:00:28BUT WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED HIM MOST, HE VANISHED.
00:00:32A HUNDRED YEARS PASSED, AND MY BROTHER AND I DISCOVERED THE NEW AVATAR: AN AIRBENDER NAMED AANG.
00:00:37AND ALTHOUGH HIS AIRBENDING SKILLS ARE GREAT,
00:00:40HE HAS A LOT TO LEARN BEFORE HE'S READY TO SAVE ANYONE.
00:00:43BUT I BELIEVE AANG CAN SAVE THE WORLD.
00:00:47♪
00:00:54Girl: APPA IS MISSING.
00:00:56WE HOPE TO FIND HIM IN BA SING SE.
00:00:58PROFESSOR ZEI, HEAD OF ANTHROPOLOGY AT BA SING SE UNIVERSITY.
00:01:02THIS LIBRARY IS SAID TO CONTAIN A VAST COLLECTION OF KNOWLEDGE.
00:01:07Boy: FIREBENDERS LOSE THEIR BENDING DURING A SOLAR ECLIPSE!
00:01:11WE'VE GOTTA GET THIS INFORMATION TO THE EARTH KING AT BA SING SE.
00:01:17HEY!
00:01:18WHAT ARE YOU DOING FIREBENDING YOUR TEA?
00:01:21SO THE OLD GUY HAD SOME HOT TEA, BIG DEAL.
00:01:24HE HEATED IT HIMSELF.
00:01:25THOSE GUYS ARE FIREBENDERS.
00:01:34♪
00:01:46LOOK, THE INNER WALL.
00:01:51I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FINALLY MADE IT TO BA SING SE IN ONE PIECE.
00:01:55HEY, DON'T JINX IT!
00:01:57WE COULD STILL BE ATTACKED BY SOME GIANT, EXPLODING FIRE NATION SPOON.
00:02:00OR FIND OUT THE CITY'S BEEN SUBMERGED IN AN OCEAN FULL OF KILLER SHRIMP.
00:02:04YOU BEEN HITTING THE CACTUS JUICE AGAIN?
00:02:06I'M JUST SAYIN'.
00:02:07WEIRD STUFF HAPPENS TO US.
00:02:11[SUCKING]
00:02:14DON'T WORRY, AANG, WE'LL FIND APPA.
00:02:17IT'S SUCH A BIG CITY.
00:02:18HE'S A GIANT BISON.
00:02:20WHERE COULD SOMEONE POSSIBLY HIDE HIM?
00:02:30OH.
00:02:43Girl: AH, BACK IN THE CITY.
00:02:45GREAT.
00:02:46Boy: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
00:02:47IT'S AMAZING!
00:02:49JUST A BUNCH OF WALLS AND RULES.
00:02:51YOU WAIT, YOU'LL GET SICK OF IT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
00:03:00Aang: I'M COMIN' FOR YOU, BUDDY.
00:03:03HE'S HERE, I CAN FEEL IT.
00:03:14HELLO, MY NAME IS JOO DEE.
00:03:17I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GREAT HONOR OF SHOWING THE AVATAR AROUND BA SING SE.
00:03:21AND YOU MUST BE SOKKA, KATARA AND TOPH.
00:03:24WELCOME TO OUR WONDERFUL CITY.
00:03:26SHALL WE GET STARTED?
00:03:29YES, WE HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIRE NATION ARMY THAT WE NEED TO DELIVER TO THE EARTH KING IMMEDIATELY.
00:03:33GREAT, LET'S BEGIN OUR TOUR.
00:03:35AND THEN I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR NEW HOME, HERE.
00:03:38I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT.
00:03:41AUGH!
00:03:42MAYBE YOU MISSED WHAT I SAID.
00:03:44WE NEED TO TALK TO THE KING ABOUT THE WAR, IT'S IMPORTANT.
00:03:47YOU'RE IN BA SING SE, NOW.
00:03:49EVERYONE IS SAFE HERE.
00:03:54Joo Dee: THIS IS THE LOWER RING.
00:03:56WHAT'S THAT WALL FOR?
00:03:59OH, BA SING SE HAS MANY WALLS.
00:04:02THERE ARE THE ONES OUTSIDE, PROTECTING US, AND THE ONES INSIDE, THAT HELP MAINTAIN ORDER.
00:04:07THIS IS WHERE OUR NEWEST ARRIVALS LIVE,
00:04:10AS WELL AS OUR CRAFTSMEN AND ARTISANS, PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH THEIR HANDS.
00:04:13IT'S SO QUAINT AND LIVELY.
00:04:18YOU DO WANT TO WATCH YOUR STEP, THOUGH.
00:04:20WHY DO THEY HAVE ALL THESE POOR PEOPLE BLOCKED OFF IN ONE PART OF THE CITY?
00:04:25THIS IS WHY I NEVER CAME HERE BEFORE.
00:04:28I ALWAYS HEARD IT WAS SO DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY THE MONKS TAUGHT US TO LIVE.
00:04:39I JUST WANT OUR NEW PLACE TO LOOK NICE IN CASE SOMEONE BRINGS HOME A LADY FRIEND.
00:04:46THIS CITY IS A PRISON.
00:04:47I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A LIFE HERE.
00:04:50Old Man: LIFE HAPPENS WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHETHER YOU MAKE IT OR NOT.
00:04:54NOW COME ON, I FOUND US SOME NEW JOBS, AND WE START THIS AFTERNOON.
00:05:01LOOK AT THEM, FIREBENDERS LIVING RIGHT UNDER EVERYONE'S NOSE.
00:05:07Girl: JET, YOU SAW A MAN WITH A HOT CUP OF TEA.
00:05:10IT DOESN'T PROVE HE'S A FIREBENDER.
00:05:12AND WHAT IF HE IS, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO ATTACK THEM?
00:05:15I THOUGHT WE WERE STARTING OVER HERE, CHANGING OUR WAYS.
00:05:19WE ARE, WHEN I GET THE EVIDENCE I NEED, I'LL REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE AND LET THEM HANDLE IT, O.K.?
00:05:26Joo Dee: THIS IS THE MIDDLE RING OF BA SING SE,
00:05:30HOME TO THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT, SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS AND THE UNIVERSITY.
00:05:34YEAH, WE MET A PROFESSOR FROM BA SING SE UNIVERSITY.
00:05:36HE TOOK US TO AN ANCIENT UNDERGROUND LIBRARY WHERE WE DISCOVERED INFORMATION ABOUT THE WAR
00:05:40THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL FOR THE KING TO HEAR !
00:05:42ISN'T HISTORY FASCINATING?
00:05:45LOOK, HERE'S ONE OF THE OLDEST BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE RING, TOWN HALL.
00:05:50IS THAT WOMAN DEAF?
00:05:52SHE ONLY SEEMS TO HEAR EVERY OTHER WORD I SAY.
00:05:55IT'S CALLED BEING HANDLED.
00:05:56GET USED TO IT.
00:06:05WELL, YOU CERTAINLY LOOK LIKE OFFICIAL TEA SERVERS.
00:06:08HOW DO YOU FEEL?
00:06:09RIDICULOUS.
00:06:11UH, DOES THIS POSSIBLY COME IN A LARGER SIZE?
00:06:15I HAVE EXTRA STRING IN THE BACK.
00:06:17HAVE SOME TEA WHILE YOU WAIT.
00:06:24EOW!
00:06:26THIS TEA IS NOTHING MORE THAN HOT LEAF JUICE!
00:06:29UNCLE, THAT'S WHAT ALL TEA IS.
00:06:32HOW COULD A MEMBER OF MY OWN FAMILY SAY SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE?
00:06:37WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SOME MAJOR CHANGES AROUND HERE.
00:06:41[GASPING]
00:06:47Joo Dee: THE UPPER RING IS HOME TO OUR MOST IMPORTANT CITIZENS.
00:06:51YOUR HOUSE IS NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.
00:06:57WHAT'S INSIDE THAT WALL?
00:07:01AND WHO ARE THE MEAN-LOOKING GUYS IN ROBES?
00:07:04INSIDE IS THE ROYAL PALACE.
00:07:06THOSE MEN ARE AGENTS OF THE DAI LI, THE CULTURAL AUTHORITY OF BA SING SE.
00:07:11THEY ARE THE GUARDIANS OF ALL OUR TRADITIONS.
00:07:14CAN WE SEE THE KING NOW?
00:07:15[LAUGHING] OH, NO!
00:07:17ONE DOESN'T JUST POP IN ON THE EARTH KING.
00:07:22Joo Dee: HERE WE ARE, YOUR NEW HOME.
00:07:29MORE GOOD NEWS.
00:07:30YOUR REQUEST FOR AN AUDIENCE WITH THE EARTH KING IS BEING PROCESSED,
00:07:33AND SHOULD BE PUT THROUGH IN ABOUT A MONTH.
00:07:36MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN USUAL.
00:07:38A MONTH?
00:07:40SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS, ACTUALLY.
00:07:50Joo Dee: ISN'T IT NICE?
00:07:51I THINK YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY IT HERE.
00:07:54I THINK WE'D ENJOY IT MORE IF WE WEREN'T STAYING SO LONG.
00:07:57CAN'T WE SEE THE KING ANY SOONER?
00:07:59THE EARTH KING IS VERY BUSY RUNNING THE FINEST CITY IN THE WORLD,
00:08:02BUT HE WILL SEE YOU AS SOON AS TIME PERMITS.
00:08:05IF WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR A MONTH, WE SHOULD SPEND OUR TIME LOOKING FOR APPA.
00:08:09I'LL BE HAPPY TO ESCORT YOU ANYWHERE YOU'D LIKE TO GO.
00:08:12WE DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER.
00:08:14OH, I WON'T GET IN THE WAY.
00:08:17AND TO LEAVE YOU ALONE WOULD MAKE ME A BAD HOST.
00:08:20WHERE SHALL WE START?
00:08:25[CHIRPING]
00:08:26[SCREECHING]
00:08:29I'M SORRY, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A FLYING BISON.
00:08:32I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WERE ANY.
00:08:34IF SOMEONE WANTED TO SELL A STOLEN ANIMAL WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING, WHERE WOULD THEY GO?
00:08:38WHERE'S THE BLACK MARKET?
00:08:40WHO RUNS IT?
00:08:40COME ON, YOU KNOW.
00:08:42UH...
00:08:46THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
00:08:49YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.
00:08:51YOUR LEMUR IS HARASSING MY SPARROWKEETS.
00:08:58Boy: HMM, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY SANDBENDERS OR NOMADS AROUND HERE.
00:09:01YOU SHOULD ASK PROFESSOR ZEI, HE TEACHES THE CLASS ON DESERT CULTURES.
00:09:05RIGHT.
00:09:07AND WHICH OF YOUR PROFESSORS COULD WE ASK ABOUT THE WAR WITH THE FIRE NATION?
00:09:13I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT A POLITICAL SCIENCE STUDENT, I HAVE TO GET TO CLASS.
00:09:18UNH!
00:09:23Joo Dee: WELL, I'M SORRY NO ONE HAS SEEN YOUR BISON.
00:09:26WHY DON'T YOU GO GET SOME REST?
00:09:28SOMEONE WILL BE OVER WITH DINNER LATER.
00:09:37HEY, COME WITH ME.
00:09:44YOU'RE THE AVATAR.
00:09:46I HEARD YOU WERE IN TOWN.
00:09:48I'M PONG.
00:09:49NICE TO MEET YOU, PONG.
00:09:51SO, PONG, WHAT'S GOIN' ON WITH THIS CITY?
00:09:53WHY IS EVERYONE HERE SO SCARED TO TALK ABOUT THE WAR?
00:09:56WAR, SCARED?
00:09:57WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
00:09:58I CAN FEEL YOU SHAKING.
00:10:01LOOK, I'M JUST A MINOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
00:10:04I'VE WAITED THREE YEARS TO GET THIS HOUSE.
00:10:06I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TROUBLE.
00:10:08GET IN TROUBLE WITH WHO?
00:10:10SHH, LISTEN, YOU CAN'T MENTION THE WAR, HERE.
00:10:13AND WHATEVER YOU DO, STAY AWAY FROM THE DAI LI.
00:10:22Old Man: WOULD YOU LIKE A POT OF TEA?
00:10:25Young Man: WE'VE BEEN WORKING IN A TEA SHOP ALL DAY.
00:10:28I'M SICK OF TEA.
00:10:30SICK OF TEA?
00:10:33THAT'S LIKE BEING SICK OF BREATHING.
00:10:36HAVE YOU SEEN OUR SPARK ROCKS TO HEAT UP THE WATER?
00:10:40THEY'RE NOT THERE.
00:10:42YOU'LL HAVE TO FIREBEND, OLD MAN.
00:10:47Jet: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
00:10:49Old Man: I BORROWED OUR NEIGHBOR'S.
00:10:52SUCH KIND PEOPLE.
00:10:59[CHIRPING]
00:11:03[YAWNING]
00:11:08[GASPING]
00:11:09I'VE GOT IT!
00:11:10I KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA SEE THE EARTH KING.
00:11:12HOW'RE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?
00:11:14"ONE DOESN'T JUST POP IN ON THE EARTH KING."
00:11:17THE KING IS HAVING A PARTY AT THE PALACE TONIGHT FOR HIS PET BEAR.
00:11:21YOU MEAN PLATYPUS-BEAR?
00:11:22NO, IT JUST SAYS "BEAR."
00:11:24CERTAINLY YOU MEAN HIS PET SKUNK-BEAR.
00:11:26OR HIS ARMADILLO-BEAR.
00:11:28GOPHER-BEAR?
00:11:29JUST "BEAR."
00:11:32THIS PLACE IS WEIRD .
00:11:35THE PALACE WILL BE PACKED.
00:11:36WE CAN SNEAK IN WITH A CROWD.
00:11:38WON'T WORK.
00:11:39WHY NOT?
00:11:40WELL, NO OFFENSE TO YOU SIMPLE COUNTRY FOLK,
00:11:42BUT A REAL SOCIETY CROWD WOULD SPOT YOU A MILE AWAY.
00:11:46YOU'VE GOT NO MANNERS.
00:11:47EXCUSE ME?
00:11:49I'VE GOT NO MANNERS?
00:11:51YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY LADY FANCY FINGERS.
00:11:54Toph: [BURPING]
00:11:55I LEARNED PROPER SOCIETY BEHAVIOR AND CHOSE TO LEAVE IT.
00:11:59YOU NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING.
00:12:01AND FRANKLY, IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE.
00:12:03AH-HA, BUT YOU LEARNED IT!
00:12:05YOU COULD TEACH US.
00:12:06YEAH, I'M MASTERING EVERY ELEMENT.
00:12:08HOW HARD CAN MANNERS BE?
00:12:10"GOOD EVENING, MR. SOKKA WATER TRIBE.
00:12:13MISS KATARA WATER TRIBE.
00:12:15LORD MOMO OF THE MOMO DYNASTY, YOUR MOMO-NESS."
00:12:19"AVATAR AANG, HOW YOU DO GO ON."
00:12:27Aang: OW!
00:12:28KATARA MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF,
00:12:30BUT YOU TWO WOULD BE LUCKY TO PASS AS BUSBOYS.
00:12:33BUT I FEEL SO FANCY.
00:12:39Aang: EARTH! Sokka: FIRE!
00:12:40AUGH.
00:12:43OOH.
00:12:48[GIGGLING]
00:12:49WOW, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
00:12:53DON'T TALK TO THE COMMONERS, KATARA.
00:12:55FIRST RULE OF SOCIETY.
00:12:57WE'LL GET IN THE PARTY AND THEN FIND A WAY TO LET YOU IN THROUGH THE SIDE GATE.
00:13:04[GONG RINGING]
00:13:16Girl: JET, WE NEED TO TALK.
00:13:18WHAT?
00:13:19OH, GREAT, IT'S YOU GUYS.
00:13:20WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
00:13:21I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH SURVEILLANCE HERE.
00:13:24Girl: WE'VE BEEN TALKING, AND WE THINK YOU'RE BECOMING OBSESSED WITH THIS.
00:13:27IT'S NOT HEALTHY.
00:13:28OH, REALLY?
00:13:29YOU BOTH THINK THIS?
00:13:32WE CAME HERE TO MAKE A FRESH START.
00:13:34BUT YOU WON'T LET THIS GO.
00:13:36EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO REAL PROOF!
00:13:37WELL, MAYBE IF YOU'D HELP ME.
00:13:39JET, YOU'VE GOTTA STOP THIS.
00:13:41MAYBE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN WHY WE NEED TO START OVER.
00:13:44MAYBE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT HOW THE FIRE NATION LEFT US ALL HOMELESS?
00:13:47HOW THEY WIPED OUT ALL THE PEOPLE WE LOVED?
00:13:50IF YOU DON'T WANNA HELP ME, I'LL GET THE EVIDENCE ON MY OWN.
00:14:00THIS IS THE BEST TEA IN THE CITY.
00:14:02THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS LOVE.
00:14:10I THINK YOU'RE DUE FOR A RAISE.
00:14:16I'M TIRED OF WAITING.
00:14:17THESE TWO MEN ARE FIREBENDERS!
00:14:30I KNOW THEY'RE FIREBENDERS!
00:14:32I SAW THE OLD MAN HEATING HIS TEA.
00:14:34HE WORKS IN A TEA SHOP.
00:14:36HE'S A FIREBENDER, I'M TELLING YOU!
00:14:38DROP YOUR SWORDS, BOY, NICE AND EASY.
00:14:41YOU'LL HAVE TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
00:14:43THEN EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
00:14:45GO AHEAD, SHOW THEM WHAT YOU CAN DO.
00:14:48YOU WANT A SHOW?
00:14:50I'LL GIVE YOU A SHOW.
00:15:12Man: INVITATION, PLEASE.
00:15:13I THINK THIS WILL DO.
00:15:15NO ENTRY WITHOUT AN INVITATION.
00:15:17STEP OUT OF LINE, PLEASE.
00:15:19LOOK, THE PANGS AND THE YUMSOON-HANS ARE WAITING IN THERE FOR US.
00:15:23I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL THEM WHO DIDN'T LET ME IN.
00:15:26STEP OUT OF LINE, PLEASE.
00:15:38Katara: SIR?
00:15:39I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, BUT MY COUSIN LOST OUR INVITATIONS.
00:15:43[WHISPERING] SHE'S BLIND.
00:15:44DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HELP US?
00:15:47OUR FAMILY'S INSIDE, AND I'M SURE THEY'RE VERY WORRIED.
00:15:50I AM HONORED.
00:15:51PLEASE COME WITH ME.
00:15:59NYAA. [BLOWING RASPBERRY]
00:16:05HE'S TAKING ALL THE GOOD STUFF.
00:16:07QUIET, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET SEATS THIS NEAR THE BEAR.
00:16:17IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?
00:16:18BY THE WAY, I'M LONG FENG.
00:16:21I'M A CULTURAL MINISTER TO THE KING.
00:16:23I'M HWAMEI, AND THIS IS DUNG.
00:16:27OW!
00:16:28NOW WHERE IS YOUR FAMILY?
00:16:30I'D LOVE TO MEET THEM.
00:16:31UH, I DON'T SEE 'EM RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL FIND THEM SOON.
00:16:35THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
00:16:40DON'T WORRY, AS YOUR ESCORT, IT WOULD BE DISHONORABLE TO ABANDON YOU LADIES WITHOUT FINDING YOUR FAMILY, FIRST.
00:16:46WE'LL KEEP LOOKING.
00:16:50WHERE ARE THEY?
00:16:52LOOK, I CAME UP WITH A BACK-UP PLAN.
00:16:55WE DRESS MOMO LIKE A GHOST, O.K.?
00:16:57HE FLIES BY THE GUARDS, CREATING A DISTRACTION.
00:17:00THEN WE BLAST A HOLE IN THE WALL...
00:17:02OR WE CAN GO IN WITH THESE GUYS.
00:17:05Aang: TOPH SAID WE MIGHT PASS AS BUSBOYS.
00:17:07O.K., BUT REMEMBER THAT MOMO GHOST PLAN.
00:17:10I THINK IT'S A WINNER.
00:17:13UGH!
00:17:15[GRUNTING]
00:17:17YOU MUST BE GETTING TIRED OF USING THOSE SWORDS.
00:17:19WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND FIREBEND AT ME?
00:17:22PLEASE, SON, YOU'RE CONFUSED!
00:17:24YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
00:17:27Jet: BET YOU WISH HE HELPED YOU OUT WITH A LITTLE FIRE BLAST RIGHT NOW.
00:17:31YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS HELP.
00:17:42YOU SEE THAT?
00:17:43THE FIRE NATION IS TRYING TO SILENCE ME!
00:17:45IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.
00:17:47[GRUNTING]
00:17:53WHERE ARE TOPH AND KATARA?
00:17:54FORGET ABOUT THEM, JUST KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE KING.
00:17:58I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
00:18:01YOU KNOW, ROYAL, FLOWING ROBE, FANCY JEWELRY.
00:18:06Aang: THAT COULD BE ANYONE.
00:18:07ANOTHER CRAB PUFF, PLEASE.
00:18:10YOU FOUND US!
00:18:12I'D KNOW YOUR LITTLE FOOTSTEPS ANYWHERE, TWINKLE TOES.
00:18:15THANKS FOR LETTING US IN.
00:18:16SORRY, BUT THE GUY WHO ESCORTED US IN WON'T LET US OUT OF HIS SIGHT.
00:18:21WHAT GUY?
00:18:23Joo Dee: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
00:18:25YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, OR WE'LL ALL BE IN TERRIBLE TROUBLE.
00:18:28NOT UNTIL WE SEE THE KING.
00:18:30YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:18:32YOU MUST GO.
00:18:34Woman: [SCREAMING]
00:18:36OH!
00:18:37Aang: SORRY, NO, DON'T SHOUT.
00:18:44THE AVATAR.
00:18:46OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THE AVATAR WOULD BE HERE.
00:18:57[LAUGHING WEAKLY]
00:18:59YOU KEEP THEIR ATTENTION WHILE I LOOK FOR THE KING.
00:19:01WATCH THIS, EVERYBODY.
00:19:11Crowd: OOH...
00:19:12[APPLAUSE]
00:19:14[LAUGHING/GROWLING]
00:19:16[GRUNTING]
00:19:26DROP YOUR WEAPONS.
00:19:28ARREST THEM, THEY'RE FIREBENDERS.
00:19:30THIS POOR BOY IS CONFUSED.
00:19:33WE'RE JUST SIMPLE REFUGEES.
00:19:36THIS YOUNG MAN WRECKED MY TEA SHOP AND ASSAULTED MY EMPLOYEES!
00:19:41IT'S TRUE, SIR.
00:19:41WE SAW THE WHOLE THING.
00:19:43THIS CRAZY KID ATTACKED THE FINEST TEA MAKER IN THE CITY.
00:19:46OH, THAT'S VERY SWEET.
00:19:50COME WITH US, SON.
00:19:53[GRUNTING]
00:19:56YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
00:19:57THEY'RE FIRE NATION!
00:19:59YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.
00:20:31AANG, THE EARTH KING.
00:20:36GREETINGS, YOUR MAJESTY.
00:20:37[GASPING] [GASPING] [GASPING]
00:20:46AUGH, UGH, LET ME GO!
00:20:51[MUFFLED SHOUT]
00:20:52[MUFFLED SHOUT]
00:20:58[CHIRPING]
00:21:01AVATAR, IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO MEET YOU.
00:21:04I AM LONG FENG, GRAND SECRETARIAT OF BA SING SE AND HEAD OF THE DAI LI.
00:21:08I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
00:21:10YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE WAITING FOR US IN THE LIBRARY.
00:21:16Sokka: WHY WON'T YOU LET US TALK TO THE KING?
00:21:18WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT COULD DEFEAT THE FIRE NATION!
00:21:21Long Feng: THE EARTH KING HAS NO TIME TO GET INVOLVED WITH POLITICAL SQUABBLES
00:21:25AND THE DAY-TO-DAY MINUTIA OF MILITARY ACTIVITIES.
00:21:28Aang: THIS COULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HE'S EVER HEARD.
00:21:31WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO HIS ROYAL MAJESTY IS MAINTAINING THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF BA SING SE.
00:21:37ALL HIS DUTIES RELATE TO ISSUING DECREES ON SUCH MATTERS.
00:21:40IT'S MY JOB TO OVERSEE THE REST OF THE CITY'S RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE MILITARY.
00:21:45SO THE KING IS JUST A FIGUREHEAD.
00:21:48HE'S YOUR PUPPET.
00:21:49OH, NO, NO.
