[screaming]
We're not asking permission!
Where is my bison?
You tell me where he is now!
What did you do?
- It wasn't me. - You said to put a muzzle on him.
You muzzled Appa?
I'm sorry.
I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar.
Tell me where Appa is!
I traded him to some merchants. He's probably in Ba Sing Se by now.
They were going to sell him there.
Please, we'll escort you out of the desert!
We'll help however we can!
Just get out of here! Run!
What are you doing here?
I did not tell you to stop.
I've been breathing for hours.
You want to stop breathing?
I want you to stop wasting my time!
I already know to squat and breathe and feel the sun!
I want to know how to shoot fire out of my fingertips!
Uh.
Look out!
[coughing]
What the doodle?
Don't you know enough to stay away from construction sites?
We have to make room for the bathhouse.
Do you know what you did?
You just destroyed something sacred
for a stupid bathhouse!
Well, people around here are starting to stink.
This whole place stinks! Ah!
It's just a cloud. Wait a cloud. Here, fly up and bend the water
from that cloud into my pouch.
Wow, there's hardly any in here.
I'm sorry! Okay?
It's a desert cloud! I did all I could!
What's anyone else doing? What you're doing?
Trying to keep everyone together.
Let's just get moving.
We need to head this direction.
How could you let them take Appa?
Why didn't you stop them?
I couldn't! The library was sinking!
You guys were still inside and--
You could've come to get us. I could've saved him.
I can hardly feel any vibrations out here. The Sand Bender snuck up on me
and there wasn't time for--
You just didn't care! You never liked Appa! You want him gone!
Aang, stop it. You know Toph did all she could.
She saved our lives.
Who's going to save our lives now?
We'll never make it out of here.
That's all any of you guys care about, yourselves!
You don't care whether Appa is OK or not.
We're all concerned, but we can't afford to be fighting now.
I'm going after Appa.
Aang wait!
You were there the whole time?
- Pretty much. - Why didn't you do something?
Sokka was in trouble!
I was in trouble!
You could've gotten him out and helped us get away!
Guess it just didn't occur to me.
Enough. I want my staff back.
Do it now!
- What? - Earth bend, Twinkle Toes.
You just stood your ground against a crazy beast.
And even more impressive,
you stood your ground against me.
You got stuff. But do it!
You did it! You're an Earthbender.
I'm Judy.
Why are you here?
Dropping fliers and putting up posters isn't permitted within the city.
Not without proper clearance.
We can't wait around to get permission for everything.
You are absolutely forbidden by the rules of the city
to continue putting up posters.
We don't care about the rules! And we're not asking permission!
We're finding Appa on our own! And you can just stay out of our way!
That might come back to bite us in the blubber.
I don't care.
From now on we do whatever it takes to find Appa.
I'm not going out if I can't wear my arrow proudly.
Aang, come on, be practical.
You guys go ahead without us, we'll catch up with you.
I think I understand why being a secret bothers you so much.
You don't want people to think you failed.
You're right, I don't.
But the problem is I did fail.
Aang, that's not true.
It is true.
I was in Ba Sing Se. I was there but I lost.
And now the Earth Kingdom has fallen for good.
It's not for good.
Remember, there's still a plan, the invasion.
And I hate the invasion plan too!
I don't want you or anyone else risking your lives to fix my mistakes!
I've always known that I would have to face the fire lord.
But now I know, I need to do it alone.
- Aang. - Katara, please, just go.
Please.
All right, Avatar, you've caused me enough problems.
This is your last chance. If you want your bison back...
- You do have Appa! Tell me where he is!
...agree to exit the city now
and I'll waive all charges against you and allow you to leave with your lost pet.
You're in no position to bargain.
Am I not?
You're definitely not!
Jet, the Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai.
I am honored to accept his invitation.
[grunting]
This goes against everything I learned from the monks.
I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like.
Sure you can, you're the Avatar.
If it's in the name of keeping balance,
I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you.
This isn't a joke, Sokka!
None of you understand the position I'm in!
Aang, we do understand. It's just--
Just what, Katara? What?
We're trying to help!
Then, when you figure out a way for me
to beat the fire lord without taking his life. I loved to hear it!
Ozai's defense is impeccable.
I'll have to try a different approach.
Haa!
You think you're untouchable, don't you, Mr. Fire Lord?
Boy, you are really starting to lose it, kid.
Momo, did you hear something?
- No, but I said something. - Uh.
You, my friend, are just a few plums short of a fruit pie.
Come on out, little boy.
You're about to be--
[grunting]
Ah!
[grunting]
Ah!
[grunting]
[gasping]
[grunting]
This time, I'm going to put you to sleep for good.
[grunting]
[screaming]
[grunting]
I'm taking away your bending, for good.
[screaming]
It's over.
