Battling the elements was hard enough.
I had to do it while I could barely breathe
The poisonous volcanic gases were overwhelming.
[screeching]
It's alright, Fang!
Get out of here.
I'm fine.
Roku, it's that girl who didn't even know you were alive.
Ta Min.
I was persistent.
When love is real, it finds a way.
And being the Avatar doesn't hurt your chances with ladies either.
Our nation is enjoying an unprecedented time of peace and wealth.
Our people are happy and we're so fortunate in so many ways.
Where are you going with this?
I've been thinking we should share this prosperity with the rest of the world.
In our hands is the most successful empire in history.
It's time we expanded it.
No, the four nations are meant to be just that: four.
Roku, you haven't even stopped to consider the possibilities.
There are no possibilities.
This is the last I want to hear about this.
After his son's death, my brother abandoned the siege of Ba Sing Se,
and who knows when he will return home.
But I am here, Father,
and my children are alive.
Say what it is you want.
Father, revoke Iroh's birthright.
I am your humble servant, here to serve you and our nation.
- Use me. - You dare suggest
I betray Iroh, my first born?
Directly after the demise of his only beloved son?
I think Iroh has suffered enough.
But you, your punishment has scarcely begun.
Only once every hundred years
can a firebender experience this kind of power.
[screaming]
Happy birthday, my son.
If only I could have helped you.

After generations of fire lords failed to find you,
Now the universe delivers you to me
as an act of providence.
Please listen to me.
We don't have to fight.
You have the power to end it here and stop what you're doing.
You are right.
I do have the power.
I have all the power in the world!
- Mom? - Zuko, please, my love.
Listen to me. Everything I've done, I've done to protect you.
Remember this, Zuko.
No matter how things may seem to change, never forget who you are.
All right, hair. It's time to face your doom.
What a shame.
You always had such beautiful hair.
What are you doing here?
I didn't want to miss my own daughter's coronation.
Don't pretend to act proud.
I know what you really think of me.
You think I'm a monster.
I think you're confused.
All your life, you've used fear to control people,
like your friends Mai and Ty Lee.
But what choice do I have?
Trust is for fools.
Fear is the only reliable way.
Even you fear me.
No, I love you, Azula, I do.
The only way to protect ourselves is with a preemptive strike.
My airbenders won't be part of an unprovoked attack.
Neither will the Fire Nation.
But Fire Lord Izumi, Kuvira is a threat to the world.
She has to be stopped.
The Fire Nation has spent too much of its history fighting nonsense wars.
And I refuse to drag my nation into another one
unless there's no other choice.
If you attack Kuvira, you'll do it without my army.
Fine. I'll hold off any plans of attack.
We'll go on the defensive and fortify security on the borders.
In that you'll have my help.
[screaming]
Thanks for looking out for me, Aang.
