City of Walls and Secrets

00:00:07

Girl: WATER.

00:00:09

EARTH.

00:00:11

FIRE.

00:00:13

AIR.

00:00:16

LONG AGO, THE FOUR NATIONS LIVED TOGETHER IN HARMONY.

00:00:20

THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED.

00:00:24

ONLY THE AVATAR, MASTER OF ALL FOUR ELEMENTS, COULD STOP THEM.

00:00:28

BUT WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED HIM MOST, HE VANISHED.

00:00:32

A HUNDRED YEARS PASSED, AND MY BROTHER AND I DISCOVERED THE NEW AVATAR: AN AIRBENDER NAMED AANG.

00:00:37

AND ALTHOUGH HIS AIRBENDING SKILLS ARE GREAT,

00:00:40

HE HAS A LOT TO LEARN BEFORE HE'S READY TO SAVE ANYONE.

00:00:43

BUT I BELIEVE AANG CAN SAVE THE WORLD.

00:00:47

00:00:54

Girl: APPA IS MISSING.

00:00:56

WE HOPE TO FIND HIM IN BA SING SE.

00:00:58

PROFESSOR ZEI, HEAD OF ANTHROPOLOGY AT BA SING SE UNIVERSITY.

00:01:02

THIS LIBRARY IS SAID TO CONTAIN A VAST COLLECTION OF KNOWLEDGE.

00:01:07

Boy: FIREBENDERS LOSE THEIR BENDING DURING A SOLAR ECLIPSE!

00:01:11

WE'VE GOTTA GET THIS INFORMATION TO THE EARTH KING AT BA SING SE.

00:01:17

HEY!

00:01:18

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FIREBENDING YOUR TEA?

00:01:21

SO THE OLD GUY HAD SOME HOT TEA, BIG DEAL.

00:01:24

HE HEATED IT HIMSELF.

00:01:25

THOSE GUYS ARE FIREBENDERS.

00:01:34

00:01:46

LOOK, THE INNER WALL.

00:01:51

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FINALLY MADE IT TO BA SING SE IN ONE PIECE.

00:01:55

HEY, DON'T JINX IT!

00:01:57

WE COULD STILL BE ATTACKED BY SOME GIANT, EXPLODING FIRE NATION SPOON.

00:02:00

OR FIND OUT THE CITY'S BEEN SUBMERGED IN AN OCEAN FULL OF KILLER SHRIMP.

00:02:04

YOU BEEN HITTING THE CACTUS JUICE AGAIN?

00:02:06

I'M JUST SAYIN'.

00:02:07

WEIRD STUFF HAPPENS TO US.

00:02:11

[SUCKING]

00:02:14

DON'T WORRY, AANG, WE'LL FIND APPA.

00:02:17

IT'S SUCH A BIG CITY.

00:02:18

HE'S A GIANT BISON.

00:02:20

WHERE COULD SOMEONE POSSIBLY HIDE HIM?

00:02:30

OH.

00:02:43

Girl: AH, BACK IN THE CITY.

00:02:45

GREAT.

00:02:46

Boy: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

00:02:47

IT'S AMAZING!

00:02:49

JUST A BUNCH OF WALLS AND RULES.

00:02:51

YOU WAIT, YOU'LL GET SICK OF IT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

00:03:00

Aang: I'M COMIN' FOR YOU, BUDDY.

00:03:03

HE'S HERE, I CAN FEEL IT.

00:03:14

HELLO, MY NAME IS JOO DEE.

00:03:17

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GREAT HONOR OF SHOWING THE AVATAR AROUND BA SING SE.

00:03:21

AND YOU MUST BE SOKKA, KATARA AND TOPH.

00:03:24

WELCOME TO OUR WONDERFUL CITY.

00:03:26

SHALL WE GET STARTED?

00:03:29

YES, WE HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIRE NATION ARMY THAT WE NEED TO DELIVER TO THE EARTH KING IMMEDIATELY.

00:03:33

GREAT, LET'S BEGIN OUR TOUR.

00:03:35

AND THEN I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR NEW HOME, HERE.

00:03:38

I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT.

00:03:41

AUGH!

00:03:42

MAYBE YOU MISSED WHAT I SAID.

00:03:44

WE NEED TO TALK TO THE KING ABOUT THE WAR, IT'S IMPORTANT.

00:03:47

YOU'RE IN BA SING SE, NOW.

00:03:49

EVERYONE IS SAFE HERE.

00:03:54

Joo Dee: THIS IS THE LOWER RING.

00:03:56

WHAT'S THAT WALL FOR?

00:03:59

OH, BA SING SE HAS MANY WALLS.

00:04:02

THERE ARE THE ONES OUTSIDE, PROTECTING US, AND THE ONES INSIDE, THAT HELP MAINTAIN ORDER.

00:04:07

THIS IS WHERE OUR NEWEST ARRIVALS LIVE,

00:04:10

AS WELL AS OUR CRAFTSMEN AND ARTISANS, PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH THEIR HANDS.

00:04:13

IT'S SO QUAINT AND LIVELY.

00:04:18

YOU DO WANT TO WATCH YOUR STEP, THOUGH.

00:04:20

WHY DO THEY HAVE ALL THESE POOR PEOPLE BLOCKED OFF IN ONE PART OF THE CITY?

00:04:25

THIS IS WHY I NEVER CAME HERE BEFORE.

00:04:28

I ALWAYS HEARD IT WAS SO DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY THE MONKS TAUGHT US TO LIVE.

00:04:39

I JUST WANT OUR NEW PLACE TO LOOK NICE IN CASE SOMEONE BRINGS HOME A LADY FRIEND.

00:04:46

THIS CITY IS A PRISON.

00:04:47

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A LIFE HERE.

00:04:50

Old Man: LIFE HAPPENS WHEREVER YOU ARE, WHETHER YOU MAKE IT OR NOT.

00:04:54

NOW COME ON, I FOUND US SOME NEW JOBS, AND WE START THIS AFTERNOON.

00:05:01

LOOK AT THEM, FIREBENDERS LIVING RIGHT UNDER EVERYONE'S NOSE.

00:05:07

Girl: JET, YOU SAW A MAN WITH A HOT CUP OF TEA.

00:05:10

IT DOESN'T PROVE HE'S A FIREBENDER.

00:05:12

AND WHAT IF HE IS, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO ATTACK THEM?

00:05:15

I THOUGHT WE WERE STARTING OVER HERE, CHANGING OUR WAYS.

00:05:19

WE ARE, WHEN I GET THE EVIDENCE I NEED, I'LL REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE AND LET THEM HANDLE IT, O.K.?

00:05:26

Joo Dee: THIS IS THE MIDDLE RING OF BA SING SE,

00:05:30

HOME TO THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT, SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS AND THE UNIVERSITY.

00:05:34

YEAH, WE MET A PROFESSOR FROM BA SING SE UNIVERSITY.

00:05:36

HE TOOK US TO AN ANCIENT UNDERGROUND LIBRARY WHERE WE DISCOVERED INFORMATION ABOUT THE WAR

00:05:40

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL FOR THE KING TO HEAR !

00:05:42

ISN'T HISTORY FASCINATING?

00:05:45

LOOK, HERE'S ONE OF THE OLDEST BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE RING, TOWN HALL.

00:05:50

IS THAT WOMAN DEAF?

00:05:52

SHE ONLY SEEMS TO HEAR EVERY OTHER WORD I SAY.

00:05:55

IT'S CALLED BEING HANDLED.

00:05:56

GET USED TO IT.

00:06:05

WELL, YOU CERTAINLY LOOK LIKE OFFICIAL TEA SERVERS.

00:06:08

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

00:06:09

RIDICULOUS.

00:06:11

UH, DOES THIS POSSIBLY COME IN A LARGER SIZE?

00:06:15

I HAVE EXTRA STRING IN THE BACK.

00:06:17

HAVE SOME TEA WHILE YOU WAIT.

00:06:24

EOW!

00:06:26

THIS TEA IS NOTHING MORE THAN HOT LEAF JUICE!

00:06:29

UNCLE, THAT'S WHAT ALL TEA IS.

00:06:32

HOW COULD A MEMBER OF MY OWN FAMILY SAY SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE?

00:06:37

WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SOME MAJOR CHANGES AROUND HERE.

00:06:41

[GASPING]

00:06:47

Joo Dee: THE UPPER RING IS HOME TO OUR MOST IMPORTANT CITIZENS.

00:06:51

YOUR HOUSE IS NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.

00:06:57

WHAT'S INSIDE THAT WALL?

00:07:01

AND WHO ARE THE MEAN-LOOKING GUYS IN ROBES?

00:07:04

INSIDE IS THE ROYAL PALACE.

00:07:06

THOSE MEN ARE AGENTS OF THE DAI LI, THE CULTURAL AUTHORITY OF BA SING SE.

00:07:11

THEY ARE THE GUARDIANS OF ALL OUR TRADITIONS.

00:07:14

CAN WE SEE THE KING NOW?

00:07:15

[LAUGHING] OH, NO!

00:07:17

ONE DOESN'T JUST POP IN ON THE EARTH KING.

00:07:22

Joo Dee: HERE WE ARE, YOUR NEW HOME.

00:07:29

MORE GOOD NEWS.

00:07:30

YOUR REQUEST FOR AN AUDIENCE WITH THE EARTH KING IS BEING PROCESSED,

00:07:33

AND SHOULD BE PUT THROUGH IN ABOUT A MONTH.

00:07:36

MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN USUAL.

00:07:38

A MONTH?

00:07:40

SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS, ACTUALLY.

00:07:50

Joo Dee: ISN'T IT NICE?

00:07:51

I THINK YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY IT HERE.

00:07:54

I THINK WE'D ENJOY IT MORE IF WE WEREN'T STAYING SO LONG.

00:07:57

CAN'T WE SEE THE KING ANY SOONER?

00:07:59

THE EARTH KING IS VERY BUSY RUNNING THE FINEST CITY IN THE WORLD,

00:08:02

BUT HE WILL SEE YOU AS SOON AS TIME PERMITS.

00:08:05

IF WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR A MONTH, WE SHOULD SPEND OUR TIME LOOKING FOR APPA.

00:08:09

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ESCORT YOU ANYWHERE YOU'D LIKE TO GO.

00:08:12

WE DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER.

00:08:14

OH, I WON'T GET IN THE WAY.

00:08:17

AND TO LEAVE YOU ALONE WOULD MAKE ME A BAD HOST.

00:08:20

WHERE SHALL WE START?

00:08:25

[CHIRPING]

00:08:26

[SCREECHING]

00:08:29

I'M SORRY, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A FLYING BISON.

00:08:32

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WERE ANY.

00:08:34

IF SOMEONE WANTED TO SELL A STOLEN ANIMAL WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING, WHERE WOULD THEY GO?

00:08:38

WHERE'S THE BLACK MARKET?

00:08:40

WHO RUNS IT?

00:08:40

COME ON, YOU KNOW.

00:08:42

UH...

00:08:46

THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

00:08:49

YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE NOW.

00:08:51

YOUR LEMUR IS HARASSING MY SPARROWKEETS.

00:08:58

Boy: HMM, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY SANDBENDERS OR NOMADS AROUND HERE.

00:09:01

YOU SHOULD ASK PROFESSOR ZEI, HE TEACHES THE CLASS ON DESERT CULTURES.

00:09:05

RIGHT.

00:09:07

AND WHICH OF YOUR PROFESSORS COULD WE ASK ABOUT THE WAR WITH THE FIRE NATION?

00:09:13

I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT A POLITICAL SCIENCE STUDENT, I HAVE TO GET TO CLASS.

00:09:18

UNH!

00:09:23

Joo Dee: WELL, I'M SORRY NO ONE HAS SEEN YOUR BISON.

00:09:26

WHY DON'T YOU GO GET SOME REST?

00:09:28

SOMEONE WILL BE OVER WITH DINNER LATER.

00:09:37

HEY, COME WITH ME.

00:09:44

YOU'RE THE AVATAR.

00:09:46

I HEARD YOU WERE IN TOWN.

00:09:48

I'M PONG.

00:09:49

NICE TO MEET YOU, PONG.

00:09:51

SO, PONG, WHAT'S GOIN' ON WITH THIS CITY?

00:09:53

WHY IS EVERYONE HERE SO SCARED TO TALK ABOUT THE WAR?

00:09:56

WAR, SCARED?

00:09:57

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

00:09:58

I CAN FEEL YOU SHAKING.

00:10:01

LOOK, I'M JUST A MINOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.

00:10:04

I'VE WAITED THREE YEARS TO GET THIS HOUSE.

00:10:06

I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TROUBLE.

00:10:08

GET IN TROUBLE WITH WHO?

00:10:10

SHH, LISTEN, YOU CAN'T MENTION THE WAR, HERE.

00:10:13

AND WHATEVER YOU DO, STAY AWAY FROM THE DAI LI.

00:10:22

Old Man: WOULD YOU LIKE A POT OF TEA?

00:10:25

Young Man: WE'VE BEEN WORKING IN A TEA SHOP ALL DAY.

00:10:28

I'M SICK OF TEA.

00:10:30

SICK OF TEA?

00:10:33

THAT'S LIKE BEING SICK OF BREATHING.

00:10:36

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR SPARK ROCKS TO HEAT UP THE WATER?

00:10:40

THEY'RE NOT THERE.

00:10:42

YOU'LL HAVE TO FIREBEND, OLD MAN.

00:10:47

Jet: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

00:10:49

Old Man: I BORROWED OUR NEIGHBOR'S.

00:10:52

SUCH KIND PEOPLE.

00:10:59

[CHIRPING]

00:11:03

[YAWNING]

00:11:08

[GASPING]

00:11:09

I'VE GOT IT!

00:11:10

I KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA SEE THE EARTH KING.

00:11:12

HOW'RE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?

00:11:14

"ONE DOESN'T JUST POP IN ON THE EARTH KING."

00:11:17

THE KING IS HAVING A PARTY AT THE PALACE TONIGHT FOR HIS PET BEAR.

00:11:21

YOU MEAN PLATYPUS-BEAR?

00:11:22

NO, IT JUST SAYS "BEAR."

00:11:24

CERTAINLY YOU MEAN HIS PET SKUNK-BEAR.

00:11:26

OR HIS ARMADILLO-BEAR.

00:11:28

GOPHER-BEAR?

00:11:29

JUST "BEAR."

00:11:32

THIS PLACE IS WEIRD .

00:11:35

THE PALACE WILL BE PACKED.

00:11:36

WE CAN SNEAK IN WITH A CROWD.

00:11:38

WON'T WORK.

00:11:39

WHY NOT?

00:11:40

WELL, NO OFFENSE TO YOU SIMPLE COUNTRY FOLK,

00:11:42

BUT A REAL SOCIETY CROWD WOULD SPOT YOU A MILE AWAY.

00:11:46

YOU'VE GOT NO MANNERS.

00:11:47

EXCUSE ME?

00:11:49

I'VE GOT NO MANNERS?

00:11:51

YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY LADY FANCY FINGERS.

00:11:54

Toph: [BURPING]

00:11:55

I LEARNED PROPER SOCIETY BEHAVIOR AND CHOSE TO LEAVE IT.

00:11:59

YOU NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING.

00:12:01

AND FRANKLY, IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE.

00:12:03

AH-HA, BUT YOU LEARNED IT!

00:12:05

YOU COULD TEACH US.

00:12:06

YEAH, I'M MASTERING EVERY ELEMENT.

00:12:08

HOW HARD CAN MANNERS BE?

00:12:10

"GOOD EVENING, MR. SOKKA WATER TRIBE.

00:12:13

MISS KATARA WATER TRIBE.

00:12:15

LORD MOMO OF THE MOMO DYNASTY, YOUR MOMO-NESS."

00:12:19

"AVATAR AANG, HOW YOU DO GO ON."

00:12:27

Aang: OW!

00:12:28

KATARA MIGHT BE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF,

00:12:30

BUT YOU TWO WOULD BE LUCKY TO PASS AS BUSBOYS.

00:12:33

BUT I FEEL SO FANCY.

00:12:39

Aang: EARTH! Sokka: FIRE!

00:12:40

AUGH.

00:12:43

OOH.

00:12:48

[GIGGLING]

00:12:49

WOW, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

00:12:53

DON'T TALK TO THE COMMONERS, KATARA.

00:12:55

FIRST RULE OF SOCIETY.

00:12:57

WE'LL GET IN THE PARTY AND THEN FIND A WAY TO LET YOU IN THROUGH THE SIDE GATE.

00:13:04

[GONG RINGING]

00:13:16

Girl: JET, WE NEED TO TALK.

00:13:18

WHAT?

00:13:19

OH, GREAT, IT'S YOU GUYS.

00:13:20

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

00:13:21

I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH SURVEILLANCE HERE.

00:13:24

Girl: WE'VE BEEN TALKING, AND WE THINK YOU'RE BECOMING OBSESSED WITH THIS.

00:13:27

IT'S NOT HEALTHY.

00:13:28

OH, REALLY?

00:13:29

YOU BOTH THINK THIS?

00:13:32

WE CAME HERE TO MAKE A FRESH START.

00:13:34

BUT YOU WON'T LET THIS GO.

00:13:36

EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO REAL PROOF!

00:13:37

WELL, MAYBE IF YOU'D HELP ME.

00:13:39

JET, YOU'VE GOTTA STOP THIS.

00:13:41

MAYBE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN WHY WE NEED TO START OVER.

00:13:44

MAYBE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT HOW THE FIRE NATION LEFT US ALL HOMELESS?

00:13:47

HOW THEY WIPED OUT ALL THE PEOPLE WE LOVED?

00:13:50

IF YOU DON'T WANNA HELP ME, I'LL GET THE EVIDENCE ON MY OWN.

00:14:00

THIS IS THE BEST TEA IN THE CITY.

00:14:02

THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS LOVE.

00:14:10

I THINK YOU'RE DUE FOR A RAISE.

00:14:16

I'M TIRED OF WAITING.

00:14:17

THESE TWO MEN ARE FIREBENDERS!

00:14:30

I KNOW THEY'RE FIREBENDERS!

00:14:32

I SAW THE OLD MAN HEATING HIS TEA.

00:14:34

HE WORKS IN A TEA SHOP.

00:14:36

HE'S A FIREBENDER, I'M TELLING YOU!

00:14:38

DROP YOUR SWORDS, BOY, NICE AND EASY.

00:14:41

YOU'LL HAVE TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

00:14:43

THEN EVERYONE WILL KNOW.

00:14:45

GO AHEAD, SHOW THEM WHAT YOU CAN DO.

00:14:48

YOU WANT A SHOW?

00:14:50

I'LL GIVE YOU A SHOW.

00:15:12

Man: INVITATION, PLEASE.

00:15:13

I THINK THIS WILL DO.

00:15:15

NO ENTRY WITHOUT AN INVITATION.

00:15:17

STEP OUT OF LINE, PLEASE.

00:15:19

LOOK, THE PANGS AND THE YUMSOON-HANS ARE WAITING IN THERE FOR US.

00:15:23

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL THEM WHO DIDN'T LET ME IN.

00:15:26

STEP OUT OF LINE, PLEASE.

00:15:38

Katara: SIR?

00:15:39

I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, BUT MY COUSIN LOST OUR INVITATIONS.

00:15:43

[WHISPERING] SHE'S BLIND.

00:15:44

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HELP US?

00:15:47

OUR FAMILY'S INSIDE, AND I'M SURE THEY'RE VERY WORRIED.

00:15:50

I AM HONORED.

00:15:51

PLEASE COME WITH ME.

00:15:59

NYAA. [BLOWING RASPBERRY]

00:16:05

HE'S TAKING ALL THE GOOD STUFF.

00:16:07

QUIET, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET SEATS THIS NEAR THE BEAR.

00:16:17

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?

00:16:18

BY THE WAY, I'M LONG FENG.

00:16:21

I'M A CULTURAL MINISTER TO THE KING.

00:16:23

I'M HWAMEI, AND THIS IS DUNG.

00:16:27

OW!

00:16:28

NOW WHERE IS YOUR FAMILY?

00:16:30

I'D LOVE TO MEET THEM.

00:16:31

UH, I DON'T SEE 'EM RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL FIND THEM SOON.

00:16:35

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

00:16:40

DON'T WORRY, AS YOUR ESCORT, IT WOULD BE DISHONORABLE TO ABANDON YOU LADIES WITHOUT FINDING YOUR FAMILY, FIRST.

00:16:46

WE'LL KEEP LOOKING.

00:16:50

WHERE ARE THEY?

00:16:52

LOOK, I CAME UP WITH A BACK-UP PLAN.

00:16:55

WE DRESS MOMO LIKE A GHOST, O.K.?

00:16:57

HE FLIES BY THE GUARDS, CREATING A DISTRACTION.

00:17:00

THEN WE BLAST A HOLE IN THE WALL...

00:17:02

OR WE CAN GO IN WITH THESE GUYS.

00:17:05

Aang: TOPH SAID WE MIGHT PASS AS BUSBOYS.

00:17:07

O.K., BUT REMEMBER THAT MOMO GHOST PLAN.

00:17:10

I THINK IT'S A WINNER.

00:17:13

UGH!

00:17:15

[GRUNTING]

00:17:17

YOU MUST BE GETTING TIRED OF USING THOSE SWORDS.

00:17:19

WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND FIREBEND AT ME?

00:17:22

PLEASE, SON, YOU'RE CONFUSED!

00:17:24

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

00:17:27

Jet: BET YOU WISH HE HELPED YOU OUT WITH A LITTLE FIRE BLAST RIGHT NOW.

00:17:31

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS HELP.

00:17:42

YOU SEE THAT?

00:17:43

THE FIRE NATION IS TRYING TO SILENCE ME!

00:17:45

IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.

00:17:47

[GRUNTING]

00:17:53

WHERE ARE TOPH AND KATARA?

00:17:54

FORGET ABOUT THEM, JUST KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE KING.

00:17:58

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

00:18:01

YOU KNOW, ROYAL, FLOWING ROBE, FANCY JEWELRY.

00:18:06

Aang: THAT COULD BE ANYONE.

00:18:07

ANOTHER CRAB PUFF, PLEASE.

00:18:10

YOU FOUND US!

00:18:12

I'D KNOW YOUR LITTLE FOOTSTEPS ANYWHERE, TWINKLE TOES.

00:18:15

THANKS FOR LETTING US IN.

00:18:16

SORRY, BUT THE GUY WHO ESCORTED US IN WON'T LET US OUT OF HIS SIGHT.

00:18:21

WHAT GUY?

00:18:23

Joo Dee: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

00:18:25

YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, OR WE'LL ALL BE IN TERRIBLE TROUBLE.

00:18:28

NOT UNTIL WE SEE THE KING.

00:18:30

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

00:18:32

YOU MUST GO.

00:18:34

Woman: [SCREAMING]

00:18:36

OH!

00:18:37

Aang: SORRY, NO, DON'T SHOUT.

00:18:44

THE AVATAR.

00:18:46

OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THE AVATAR WOULD BE HERE.

00:18:57

[LAUGHING WEAKLY]

00:18:59

YOU KEEP THEIR ATTENTION WHILE I LOOK FOR THE KING.

00:19:01

WATCH THIS, EVERYBODY.

00:19:11

Crowd: OOH...

00:19:12

[APPLAUSE]

00:19:14

[LAUGHING/GROWLING]

00:19:16

[GRUNTING]

00:19:26

DROP YOUR WEAPONS.

00:19:28

ARREST THEM, THEY'RE FIREBENDERS.

00:19:30

THIS POOR BOY IS CONFUSED.

00:19:33

WE'RE JUST SIMPLE REFUGEES.

00:19:36

THIS YOUNG MAN WRECKED MY TEA SHOP AND ASSAULTED MY EMPLOYEES!

00:19:41

IT'S TRUE, SIR.

00:19:41

WE SAW THE WHOLE THING.

00:19:43

THIS CRAZY KID ATTACKED THE FINEST TEA MAKER IN THE CITY.

00:19:46

OH, THAT'S VERY SWEET.

00:19:50

COME WITH US, SON.

00:19:53

[GRUNTING]

00:19:56

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

00:19:57

THEY'RE FIRE NATION!

00:19:59

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.

00:20:31

AANG, THE EARTH KING.

00:20:36

GREETINGS, YOUR MAJESTY.

00:20:37

[GASPING] [GASPING] [GASPING]

00:20:46

AUGH, UGH, LET ME GO!

00:20:51

[MUFFLED SHOUT]

00:20:52

[MUFFLED SHOUT]

00:20:58

[CHIRPING]

00:21:01

AVATAR, IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO MEET YOU.

00:21:04

I AM LONG FENG, GRAND SECRETARIAT OF BA SING SE AND HEAD OF THE DAI LI.

00:21:08

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.

00:21:10

YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE WAITING FOR US IN THE LIBRARY.

00:21:16

Sokka: WHY WON'T YOU LET US TALK TO THE KING?

00:21:18

WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT COULD DEFEAT THE FIRE NATION!

00:21:21

Long Feng: THE EARTH KING HAS NO TIME TO GET INVOLVED WITH POLITICAL SQUABBLES

00:21:25

AND THE DAY-TO-DAY MINUTIA OF MILITARY ACTIVITIES.

00:21:28

Aang: THIS COULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HE'S EVER HEARD.

00:21:31

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO HIS ROYAL MAJESTY IS MAINTAINING THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF BA SING SE.

00:21:37

ALL HIS DUTIES RELATE TO ISSUING DECREES ON SUCH MATTERS.

00:21:40

IT'S MY JOB TO OVERSEE THE REST OF THE CITY'S RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE MILITARY.

00:21:45

SO THE KING IS JUST A FIGUREHEAD.

00:21:48

HE'S YOUR PUPPET.

00:21:49

OH, NO, NO.

00:21:51

HIS MAJESTY IS AN ICON, A GOD TO HIS PEOPLE.

00:21:55

HE CAN'T SULLY HIS HANDS WITH THE HOURLY CHANGES OF AN ENDLESS WAR.

00:21:59

BUT WE FOUND OUT ABOUT A SOLAR ECLIPSE THAT WILL LEAVE THE FIRE NATION DEFENSELESS.

00:22:03

YOU COULD LEAD AN INVASION...

00:22:05

ENOUGH, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR RIDICULOUS PLAN.

00:22:08

IT IS THE STRICT POLICY OF BA SING SE THAT THE WAR NOT BE MENTIONED WITHIN THE WALLS.

00:22:13

CONSTANT NEWS OF AN ESCALATING WAR WILL THROW THE CITIZENS OF BA SING SE INTO A STATE OF PANIC.

00:22:19

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME, THEY'RE FIREBENDERS.

00:22:21

THEY WON'T STOP UNTIL THEY WIN THE WAR.

00:22:24

CALM DOWN, YOU'RE SAFE NOW.

00:22:29

OUR ECONOMY WOULD BE RUINED, OUR PEACEFUL WAY OF LIFE, OUR TRADITIONS WOULD DISAPPEAR.

00:22:35

THERE'S NO WAR IN BA SING SE.

00:22:38

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

00:22:40

WHERE DO YOU THINK ALL THE REFUGEES COME FROM?

00:22:42

YOU CAN'T HIDE IT.

00:22:44

IN SILENCING TALK OF CONFLICT, BA SING SE REMAINS A PEACEFUL, ORDERLY UTOPIA.

00:22:49

THE LAST ONE ON EARTH.

00:22:52

[MUFFLED GRUNTING]

00:22:54

THERE IS NO WAR WITHIN THE WALLS.

00:22:57

HERE WE ARE SAFE.

00:22:59

HERE WE ARE FREE.

00:23:04

YOU CAN'T KEEP THE TRUTH FROM ALL THESE PEOPLE.

00:23:06

THEY HAVE TO KNOW.

00:23:08

I'LL TELL THEM.

00:23:09

I'LL MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS.

00:23:10

UNTIL NOW, YOU'VE BEEN TREATED AS OUR HONORED GUEST.

00:23:13

BUT FROM NOW ON, YOU WILL BE WATCHED EVERY MOMENT BY DAI LI AGENTS.

00:23:17

IF YOU MENTION THE WAR TO ANYONE, YOU WILL BE EXPELLED FROM THE CITY.

00:23:22

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOUR BISON.

00:23:24

IT WOULD BE QUITE A SHAME IF YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE YOUR QUEST.

00:23:29

NOW JOO DEE WILL SHOW YOU HOME.

00:23:34

Woman: COME WITH ME, PLEASE.

00:23:36

WHAT HAPPENED TO JOO DEE?

00:23:37

I'M JOO DEE.

00:23:39

I'LL BE YOUR HOST AS LONG AS YOU'RE IN OUR WONDERFUL CITY.

00:23:52
