I am Sokka.
Son of Hakoda.
Lord of, uh,
Snow and Ice.
On behalf of the Water Tribe Village of Wolf Cove,
I demand that you leave immediately!
If this is the path you've chosen,
then so be it.
Let's settle this between us! Leader to leader. You really need an army?
I thought you Firebenders had some guts.
Don't fall for it. We overpower them. It's no contest.
Well, where's the glory in that?
I accept.
[grunting]
[gasps]
[suspenseful action music playing]
[grunting]
[ominous music playing]
Who needs an army now?
[warriors grunt]
[dramatic music playing]
Leave him alone!
[warriors yelling]
Can't be.
[grunting]
-[grunts] -Ah!
Enough games. Burn the whole place to the ground.
No!
I'll go with you. Just leave them alone.
I'm the one you're looking for.
-Get him. -Wait!
[Aang] It's okay, Katara.
No one has ever fought for me before.
I think you're the bravest person I've ever met.
We have to do something. Sokka, we have to help him. Sokka!
Okay, listen up.
Reinforce the braces on the gate, and don't fall behind on drills.
-I saw real sloppiness out there today. -Drills?
And don't let the younger ones push you around.
You gotta let 'em know who's in charge. That's right.
You're in charge.
Now, let's go save that weird kid.
[door clangs]
[keys jangle]
[sighs]
There are many who never imagined this day would ever come, myself included.
Can I ask you something?
-Uh… -Forgive me.
I'm Iroh, son of Fire Lord Azulon.
And of course.
Why did the Fire Nation start this war?
Ah.
Some people say it is within our nature
to expand and consume like fire itself.
Others believe that true stability in this world
can only happen under our rule,
so the drive to conquer is a drive for peace and unity.
But peace comes from respecting life, not killing and destroying.
[Iroh] A noble sentiment, Avatar,
but in the end, for most of us,
it doesn't matter how this war started.
It only matters how it can end.
And the belief is that by capturing you,
the Fire Nation can finally bring that about.
Is that what you believe?
I must leave, but I look forward to many more conversations with you, Avatar.
In the meantime, I'll have some jasmine tea sent to you.
It's quite soothing. [chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]
-It won't be easy to catch them. -I know.
Hopefully, we can find a swift current. Maybe draft off their wake.
Or
we could go another way.
[scoffs] You're not serious.
Katara, no! There's no way you're getting me on that…
[Sokka screaming]
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Aang] The Avatars.
-[creaking] -[gasps]
[footsteps approaching]
[suspenseful music continues]
[man] Yes, sir, right away.
[indistinct chatter]
[action music playing]
Stop!
[grunts]
[Zuko] Stop him!
-[grunts] -[man] Get him!
Open fire, now!
[suspenseful music playing]
[grunts] Ah!
[Aang screams]
[grunts]
[dramatic music playing]
[Aang screams]
-[grunts] -[Sokka grunts]
Hey, kid!
Sokka!
[bellows]
[grunts]
Ah!
