What I'm about to show you
I discovered in that wretched Fire Nation prison.
The guards were always careful to keep any water away from us.
They piped in dry air and had it suspended away from the ground.
Before giving us any water,
they would bind our hands and feet so we couldn't bend.
Any sign of trouble was met with cruel retribution.
And yet each month, I felt the full moon enriching me with its energy.
There had to be something I could do to escape.
Then, I realized that where this is life,
There is water.
The rats that scurried across the floor of my cage
were nothing more than skins filled with liquid.
And I passed years developing the skill that would lead to my escape.
Bloodbending.
Control the water in another body.
Enforcing your own will over theirs.
Once I had mastered the rats,
I was ready for the men.
[grunting]
And during the next full moon,
I walked free for the first time in decades.
My cell unlocked by the very guards assigned to keep me in.
Once you perfect this technique,
you can control anything or anyone.
But to reach inside someone and control them?
I don't know if I want that kind of power.
The choice is not yours. The power exists.
And it's your duty to use this gifts you've been given to win this war.
Katara, they tried to wipe us out, our entire culture, your mother.
I know.
Then you should understand what I'm talking about.
We're the last waterbenders of the Southern Tribe.
We have to fight these people whenever we can,
wherever they are with any means necessary.
It's you.
You're the one making people disappear during the full moons.
They threw me in prison to rot, along with my brothers and sisters.
They deserve the same.
You must carry on my work.
I won't. I won't use bloodbending and I won't allow you to keep
terrorizing this town.
[grunting]
You should have learned the technique before you turned against me.
It's impossible to fight your way out of my grip.
I control every muscle, every vein in your body.
[moaning]
Stop, please.
[evil laughter]
You're not the only one who draws power from the moon.
My bending is more powerful than yours, Hama.
Your technique is useless on me.
[screaming]
We know what you've been doing, Hama.
Give up. You're outnumbered.
No.
You've outnumbered yourselves.
Huh?
[screaming]
Katara, look out!
[grunting]
It’s like my brain has a mind of its own!
Stop it arms! Stop it!
[grunting]
This feels weird!
[grunting]
- I’m sorry, Aang! - It’s okay!
[grunting]
Don’t hurt your friends, Katara!
And don’t let them hurt each other.
[screaming]
No!
[moaning]
You're going to be locked away forever.
My work is done.
Congratulations, Katara.
You're a bloodbender.
