The Boiling Rock

00:00:07

- KATARA: 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, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.

00:00:42

- Ugh!

00:00:44

- KATARA: But I believe Aang can save the world.

00:00:55

- Sokka's your name, right?

00:00:57

My favorite prisoner used to mention you all the time.

00:01:01

She was convinced you were going to come rescue her.

00:01:03

Of course, you never came, and she gave up on you.

00:01:07

- Where is Suki?

00:01:11

How are we all gonna escape?

00:01:12

- We're not. You kids have to leave.

00:01:15

You have to escape on Appa together.

00:01:17

- Goodbye, Dad.

00:01:18

We won't be apart for too long this time.

00:01:20

I promise.

- [calm music]

00:01:25

00:01:31

- ZUKO: No one can make tea like Uncle.

00:01:32

But hopefully I learned a thing or two.

00:01:34

Would you like to hear Uncle's favorite tea joke?

00:01:36

- KATARA: Sure. - AANG: I like jokes.

00:01:38

- TOPH: Bring it!

00:01:40

- Okay, well, I can't remember how it starts, but the punchline is "Leaf me alone-- I'm bushed!"

00:01:46

- [crickets chirping]

00:01:51

- Well, it's funnier when Uncle tells it.

00:01:54

- Right.

00:01:55

Maybe that's because he remembers the whole thing.

00:01:57

- [laughter]

00:02:04

- It's nice to get a chance to relax a little.

00:02:06

It hardly ever happens.

00:02:13

- Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

00:02:21

- So what's up?

00:02:22

- SOKKA: If someone was captured by the Fire Nation, where would they be taken?

00:02:27

- ZUKO: What do you mean? Who was captured?

00:02:30

- When the invasion plan failed, some of our troops were taken.

00:02:33

I just want to know where they might be.

00:02:35

- I can't tell you.

00:02:36

- What? Why not?

00:02:38

- Trust me.

00:02:39

Knowing will just make you feel worse.

00:02:42

- It's my dad. He was captured too.

00:02:45

I need to know what I put him through.

00:02:47

- It's not good, Sokka. - Please.

00:02:51

- My guess is they were taken to the Boiling Rock.

00:02:54

- What's that?

00:02:56

- ZUKO: The highest-security prison in the Fire Nation.

00:02:58

It's on an island in the middle of the boiling lake.

00:03:02

It's inescapable. - So where is this place?

00:03:05

- Why do you need to know? What are you planning?

00:03:07

- Nothing.

00:03:09

Boy, you're so paranoid.

00:03:12

- It's in the middle of a volcano between here and the Fire Nation.

00:03:16

You guys actually flew right past it on the way here.

00:03:19

- Thanks, Zuko. [yawns]

00:03:21

Just knowing makes me feel better.

I'm gonna rescue my dad. You happy now?

00:04:01

- I'm never happy.

00:04:03

- Look, I have to do this. The invasion plan was my idea.

00:04:07

It was my decision to stay when things were going wrong.

00:04:10

It's my mistake, and it's my job to fix it.

00:04:13

I have to regain my honor. You can't stop me, Zuko.

00:04:18

- You need to regain your honor? Believe me, I get it.

00:04:22

I'm going with you.

00:04:23

- No! I have to do this alone.

00:04:26

- How are you going to get there?

On Appa?

Last time I checked, prisons don't have bison daycares.

00:05:47

You know, a friend of mine actually designed these war balloons.

00:05:50

- No kidding.

00:05:51

- Yup. A balloon, but for war.

00:05:55

- If there's one thing my dad's good at, it's war.

00:05:58

- Yeah, it seems to run in the family.

00:06:00

- Hey, hold on.

00:06:01

Not everyone in my family is like that.

00:06:03

- I know, I know. You've changed.

00:06:06

- I meant my uncle.

00:06:08

He was more of a father to me.

00:06:11

And I really let him down.

00:06:13

- I think your uncle would be proud of you.

00:06:16

Leaving your home to come help us?

00:06:18

That's hard.

00:06:19

- It wasn't that hard. - Really?

00:06:22

You didn't leave behind anyone you cared about?

00:06:24

- Well, I did have a girlfriend, Mai.

00:06:28

- That gloomy girl who sighs a lot?

00:06:30

- Yeah.

00:06:33

Everyone in the Fire Nation thinks I'm a traitor.

00:06:36

I couldn't drag her into it.

As long as we're quiet, we should be able to navigate through it without being caught.

00:07:06

- [adventurous music]

00:07:07

00:07:25

- We're going down.

00:07:26

The balloon's not working anymore.

00:07:29

- SOKKA: The air outside is just as hot as the air inside, so we can't fly.

I suspected it might be a one-way ticket.

00:08:02

- You knew this would happen and you wanted to come anyway?

00:08:05

- My dad might be here. I had to come and see.

00:08:08

- Uncle always said I never thought things through.

00:08:11

But this? This is just crazy!

00:08:15

- Hey, I never wanted you to come along in the first place.

And for the record, I always think things through.

- Yeah, you kinda burned down my village.

- Oh, sorry about that. Nice to see you again.

00:16:35

- So listen, I think I have an escape plan.

00:16:38

I checked out the coolers again.

00:16:40

The whole point of them is to keep Firebenders contained, right?

00:16:43

- Yeah.

00:16:45

- So they're completely insulated and sealed to keep the cold in.

00:16:48

Well, to keep the cold in, it also has to keep the heat out, right?

00:16:53

- Just get to the point, Sokka.

00:16:54

- It's a perfect boat for getting through the boiling water.

00:16:59

- The cooler as a boat? Are you sure?

00:17:02

- I'm telling you, it'll work.

00:17:06

I walked around the perimeter.

00:17:08

There's a blind spot between two guard towers.

00:17:10

It's the perfect launching point.

00:17:14

I already tested it out.

00:17:16

We'll roll the cooler into the water and just float with the current. It'll take us straight across.

00:17:21

As long as we don't make a sound, no one will notice.

00:17:24

And bing, bang, boom, we're home free!

00:17:26

- But how are you gonna get the cooler out?

00:17:28

- Yeah, how are you gonna get the cooler out?

00:17:33

- What? We didn't-- we didn't say that!

00:17:37

- Yeah, you heard wrong.

00:17:38

- I heard you hatching an escape plan, and I want in.

00:17:41

- There's nothing to get in on.

00:17:43

- Yeah, the only thing we're hatching is... an egg?

00:17:48

- [sighing]

00:17:49

- Okay, well, I come with you, or the warden hears about this egg too.

00:17:54

- I guess we have no choice.

00:17:56

- Okay, you're in.

00:17:58

Now, first we need someone to unbolt the cooler from the inside.

00:18:03

- Oh, I can get you inside.

00:19:18

- I got Suki and Chit Sang out of their cells a few minutes ago.

00:19:21

They'll be waiting for us at the shore.

00:19:23

00:19:26

- Yeah, new arrivals coming in at dawn.

00:19:28
