What's going on?
Fire Nation soldiers are heading to the village.
What did you do?
I kind of destroyed their factory.
- You what? - It was your idea!
I was joking.
I also said to use spirit magic and made funny noises.
Did you even think this through?
The army's going to blame the villagers.
They're headed there right now to get revenge.
Well, what was I supposed to do?
Leave. Do nothing.
No. I will never ever turn my back on people who need me.
I'm going down to the village
and I am going to do whatever I can.
Wait.
I'm coming too.
I thought you didn't want to help.
You need me and I will never turn my back on you.
Sokka, you really do have a heart.
He does have a heart, doesn't he?
[grunting]
I thought we could live his neighbors in peace.
But I guess I was wrong.
You steal our food, our medicine,
and then you destroy our factory.
We didn't do any of that.
Yeah, the painted lady brought us food.
She's the one that healed our sick, not your medicine.
Oh, right.
The mysterious painted lady did it.
And I suppose she drew the army emblem on your containers, too,
[gasping]
This is a town of thieves and liars.
[grunting]
Where's your painted lady now?
We're going to cure the world of this wretched village
Light it again.
Look at that.
Where's it coming from?
I don't know. Something strange is going on.
It's the painted lady. She's coming.
There is no painted lady.
[growling]
[whistling]
What is that sound?
Maybe it is her.
Do something!
[screaming]
Stand your ground!
I'll take care of you myself.
[grunting]
[gasping]
[screaming]
[grunting]
[gasping]
Leave this village and never come back.
[cheering]
I knew you'd come.
- Thank you. - Painted lady, you're the best.
Me and my brothers really owe you a lot.
Hey, wait a minute.
I know you.
You're not the painted lady.
You're that colonial girl.
Yeah, you're the lady that gave me a fish.
You've been tricking us.
You're a waterbender.
She's a waterbender.
How dare you act like our painted lady?
[crowd grumbling]
Maybe she is a waterbender,
but she was just trying to help you.
Because of her, that factory won't be polluting your river
and the army is gone.
You should be down on your knees thanking her.
Sokka. It's okay.
I shouldn't have acted like someone I wasn't.
And I shouldn't have tricked you,
but I felt like I had to do something.
It doesn't matter if the painted lady is real or not,
because your problems are real.
And this river is real.
You can't wait around for someone to help you.
You have to help yourself.
She's right.
But what should we do?
Maybe we can clean the river.
Yeah, we can clean the river.
[cheering]
Thank you.
You know, you're not so bad for a waterbender.
You wouldn't mind keeping that a secret, by the way, would you?
No problem. Keeping my mouth shut is a personal specialty.
My brother Xu on the other hand, oh, he's a blabber mouth.
So, Doc, are you going to help us clean?
No, ma'am. I'm going to get my other brother, Bushi.
He loves cleaning rivers.
Alright, I'm Bushi. Let's get some river cleaning.
Ah-ha! I knew it. I knew you were the same guy
You're the shop owner and the boat guy.
Oh, you must be talking about my brother's Doc and Xu.
No, I just saw you.
You switched hands and called yourself a different name.
Oh, you know who does that?
My brother Doc.
He's crazy.
