[groaning]
Ah, yes, I remember these two.
We'll find an acceptable home for you in prison
with the rest of the dissidents.
Now, I'm told you have some information for me.
I hope this isn't just some ruse to try to increase your bounty.
Oh, we don't want any bounty, Your Majesty.
You can consider these two a thank you gift
for simply taking the time to talk to us.
How very magnanimous.
So, where are my airbenders?
I'd be happy to tell you
once you hand the Avatar over to me.
Who told you that we have the Avatar?
How I know it's not important.
But if I found out, others will too.
And that could put you in a difficult position.
Is that so?
Your Majesty, imprisoning the Avatar
will cause the other nations
to turn against you and demand her freedom.
Before long, you'll be in the midst
of a sticky international incident.
But if you let me take her today,
no one need ever know she was here.
And you can get your airbenders back
without interference. We both win.
And what do you plan to do with the Avatar
should I see fit to grant your request?
All I can say is that I have business with her,
but she won't be bothering you again.
I can assure you of that.
I find these terms agreeable.
Gun, escort them to the antichamber
until the Avatar's arrival.
Send these two to the dungeon.
[screaming]
Looks like he's in a hurry. Wait here.
[music playing]
Your Majesty, we received a distress signal
from the airship carrying the prisoners.
We believe the ship crashed in the Si Wong Desert
and the Avatar may have escaped.
This is outrageous!
Send another airship to retrieve the Avatar immediately.
It's already on its way, Your Majesty.
What are we going to do now?
There's no way we can track her down
in the desert before the Queen gets to her.
You really think they'll be lucky enough
to capture her again?
She'll be long gone by the time they arrive.
It doesn't matter. We're through chasing her.
It's time to make her come to us.
[music playing]
What is this riffraff doing in my throne room unannounced?
Apologies, Your Majesty, but I couldn't help overhearing
that the Avatar won't be joining us today.
The Avatar is still in my custody.
However, eavesdropping on royal conversations
will land you in a cell right next
to those boys you brought in.
Now, if you value your freedom, you'll tell me
where the airbenders are right now.
That wasn't the deal.
I will not bear any words with bounty hunters.
Seize these hoodlums and throw them in prison
until they decide to show proper respect for the crown!
[grunting]
[fighting]
[whimpering]
Gun! Get back here and lay down your life
for your Queen, you coward!
You wouldn't dare attack a Queen!
Maybe I forgot to mention something to you.
I don't believe in Queens.
[gasping]
You think freedom is something
that you can give or take on a whim.
But to your people,
freedom is just as essential as... air.
[gasping]
And without it...
[gasping]
...there is no life.
There is only... darkness.
Hey, you can't be in here.
No need for alarm.
I just need to make an announcement
to the entire city. How do I do that?
Who do you think you are?
[grunting]
He's the man who just took down
the Earth Queen. You wanna be next?
Ming-Hua, please.
We're here to help citizens like him, not hurt them.
Now, can you help me?
[grunting]
Attention, citizens of Ba Sing Se.
I have an important announcement to make.
Moments ago, the Earth Queen was brought down
at the hands of revolutionaries, including myself.
I'm not going to tell you my name,
'cause my identity's not important.
I'm not here to take over the Earth Kingdom.
I think you've had enough of leaders
telling you what to do.
It's time for you to find your own path.
No longer will you be oppressed by tyrants.
From now on, you are free.
I deliver Ba Sing Se back into the hands of the people.
[music playing]
[cheering]
We have to get out of here, Bolin.
Zaheer came here to take out the Earth Queen,
and now Korra is next.
You know that guy? He's my hero!
Shut up!
You have to metalbend us out of here.
Come on, I know you can do it! This is your time!
You said before was my time.
I know I did, but now it's really your time.
Do it!
[cheering]
Did you see that? I did it! I mean, not for us,
but I metalbent all the other cells open!
I don't think that was you.
[cheering]
[grunting]
Listen to me.
I'm going to set you free, but I want to talk to you first.
I have a message
that I need you to take to Korra.
