Can we please buy a new saddle?
Riding bareback is terrifying!
There it is. That whole thing is the palace.
The Earth King's chamber should be in the center.
We have to be careful.
Long Feng's probably warned the king that we're coming.
Why would you assume that?
If you ask me, I think we're just gonna sail right in--
[screaming]
What was that?!
Surface-to-air rocks!
More incoming!
Sorry!
Sorry! We just need to get through to see the Earth King!
Seriously, we're actually on your guys' side!
Sorry.
In there.
Toph, which way to the Earth King?
How should I know?
I'm still voting we leave Ba Sing Se.
Burglar!
Sorry, wrong door.
Now that's an impressive door!
It's gotta go somewhere.
[screaming]
[struggling]
A little warning next time?
We need to talk to you.
They're here to overthrow you.
No, we're on your side! We're here to help.
You have to trust us!
You invade my palace, lay waste to all my guards,
break down my fancy door, and you expect me to trust you?
He has a good point.
If you're on my side, then drop your weapons and stand down!
See? We're friends, Your Earthiness.
[chuckles]
Detain the assailants.
But we dropped our weapons.
We're your allies!
Make sure the Avatar and his friends never see daylight again.
The Avatar?!
You're the Avatar?!
Uh, no. Him.
Over here.
What does it matter, Your Highness?
They're enemies of the state.
Perhaps you're right.
[Bosco growls softly]
[sniffing and licking]
Though Bosco seems to like him.
I'll hear what he has to say.
Well, sir, there's a war going on right now.
For the past 100 years, in fact.
The Dai Li's kept it secret from you.
It's a conspiracy to control the city and to control you.
A secret war?
That's crazy!
Completely!
Long Feng didn't want us to tell you, so he stole our sky bison to blackmail us.
And blackmail is the least of his crimes!
He brainwashed our friend!
All lies.
I've never even seen a sky bison, Your Majesty.
Frankly, I thought they were extinct.
Your claim is difficult to believe.
Even from an Avatar.
These hooligans are part of an anarchist cell
that my agents have been tracking for weeks.
If you listen to them, you're playing right into your own destruction.
I have to trust my advisor.
Wait! I can prove he's lying!
Long Feng said he's never seen a sky bison.
Ask him to lift his robe.
What?! I am not disrobing!
Right there! Appa bit him!
Never met a sky bison, huh?
That happens to be a large birth mark.
Thanks for showing everyone.
Well I suppose there's no way to prove where those marks came from.
Of course there is!
Yep, that pretty much proves it.
[together] Yeah!
But it doesn't prove this crazy conspiracy theory.
[disappointed moans]
Though, I suppose this matter's worth looking into.
Uh...
- We'll take it. - Yeah, all right.
