All language subtitles for Avatar (TLA) - S03 E06 - The Avatar and the Fire Lord (1080p - BluRay)

Water.

Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.

Then everything changed when
the Fire Nation attacked.

Only the Avatar, master of all
four elements, could stop them.

But when the world
needed him most,

he vanished.

100 years passed and my brother
and I discovered the new Avatar.

An airbender named Aang.

And although his airbending
skills are great,

he has a lot to learn before
he's ready to save anyone.

Oof.

But I believe Aang
can save the world.

I'm losing this war.

I'm letting the
whole world down.

I should have seen this war
coming, and prevented it.

For so long, I thought that if
my dad accepted me, I'd be happy.

I'm back home now.
My dad talks to me.

Everything should be
perfect, right?

I should be happy
now, but I'm not.

Please, uncle, I'm so confused.
I need your help.

Forget it.
I'll solve this myself.

Waste away in here
for all I care.

Aang, it's time you learned my
history with Fire Lord Sozin.

You need to understand how the war
began if you want to know how to end it.

Meet my on my home island on
the day of the summer solstice.

Okay, Roku.

"You need to know the story of
your great-grandfather's demise."

"It will reveal
your own destiny."

There it is.

That's Roku's home.

But, there's nothing here.

Yes, there is.

An entire village.

Hundreds of houses.

All completely buried in ash.

It's never too early for a sitting
with the court painter, Zuko.

Make sure he gets
your good side.

Wait.

I need to ask you something.

What do you remember about our
great-grandfather's history?

Zuko.

It's so strange how
your mind works.

Fire Lord Sozin began the
war, of course.

He spent his early years
secretly preparing for it.

But he was as patient
as he was clever.

He famously waited for the comet,
later renamed Sozin's comet

and used its power to launch his
full-scale invasion of the world.

In the end, he died a very
old and successful man.

But how did he die?

Didn't you pay any
attention in school, Zuko?

He died peacefully,
in his sleep.

He was ancient.

What does it mean?

"The Fire Sages keep the secret
history in the Dragonbone Catacombs."

"The Final Testament
of Fire Lord Sozin."

Come, Aang.

Where are we going?

To visit my past.

Our shared past.

As I feel my own life dimming,
I can't help but think

of a time when everything
was so much brighter.

I remember my friend.

Looks like I win again, Roku.

Are you kidding?

The tree root did all the work.

Nice one, Sozin.

You were friends
with Fire Lord Sozin?

Back then he was just Prince
Sozin, and he was my best friend.

Say something to her.

Love is hard when you're young.

You don't have to tell me.

Don't worry.

It gets better.

Now come with me.

We have a party to attend.

Wait, whose party is it?

Sozin and I shared many
things, including a birthday.

Did something
happen to my father?

No, Prince Sozin.

We are not here for you.

We are here to announce the
identity of the next Avatar.

It is our honor to serve
you, Avatar Roku.

Soon, the day came
when my friend Roku

had to leave the Fire Nation and
face his destiny as the Avatar.

He needed to travel the world so
he could master the other elements.

Hey, why aren't you packed
yet, all-powerful Avatar?

Come on, show me how it's done
using all four kinds of bending.

I started packing,
but then the Fire Sages told me

I won't need any worldly
possessions anymore.

It happened so fast.

Everything's gonna
be different now.

Here.

I hope you're at least
allowed to have this.

But this is a royal artifact.

It's supposed to be worn
by the crown prince.

I want you to have it.

Do they have bathrooms
in the Spirit World?

As a matter of
fact, they do not.

Hey, we're almost at
the Southern Air Temple.

This was the first stop
on my Avatar journey.

It was the place where I was
trained to master airbending,

and also where I met an old
friend of yours, monk Gyatso.

No way!

Hey, Gyatso,
you want to see a new glider trick?

Check this out.

He's air-surfing.

I can't believe I
never thought of that.

That's amazing.

I can't believe you were friends
with monk Gyatso just like I was.

Some friendships are so strong,
they can even transcend lifetimes.

After my years mastering airbending,
I traveled to the Northern Water Tribe.

Waterbending was especially
challenging for me.

But in time,
I mastered it as well.

I moved on to the Earth Kingdom.

My earthbending master, Sud,
was uncompromising, stubborn, and blunt.

And a lifelong friend.

It was bitter work,
but the results were worth it.

Twelve long years passed
before I saw my friend again.

When Roku returned,
he was a fully realized Avatar,

and I had changed as well.

Sozin, or should I
say, Fire Lord.

Customarily,
my subjects bow before greeting me,

but you're the exception.

After all these years,
he was still my best friend.

And a few months later,
he was my best man.

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 the ladies, either.

On wedding days, we look to the
future with optimism and joy.

I had my own vision
for a brighter future.

Excuse me.

May I borrow him for a moment?

It's not very
traditional, but okay.

What's on your mind?

I've been thinking hard about
the state of the world lately.

Sozin, it's my wedding.

Have a cookie.

Dance with someone. Lighten up.

I know, I know,
but just hear me out.

Right from the start,
I was destined to be Fire Lord,

and although we didn't always know it,
you were destined to be the Avatar.

It's an amazing stroke of fate we
know each other so well, isn't it?

Together, we could do anything.

Yeah, we could.

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.

That was my first real
test as the Avatar.

Unfortunately, it was many years
before I learned that Sozin

had gone ahead with his
plan, despite my warning.

I've seen the colony, Sozin.

How dare you occupy
Earth Kingdom territory?

How dare you,
a citizen of the Fire Nation,

address your Fire Lord this way?

Your loyalty is to
our nation first.

Anything less makes
you a traitor.

Don't do this, Sozin.

Don't challenge me.

It will only end badly.

It's over.

I'm sparing you, Sozin.

I'm letting you go in the
name of our past friendship.

But I warn you,
even a single step out of line

will result in
your permanent end.

Sozin and I didn't
speak or see each other

for 25 years after our battle.

I spent most of my spare time
here, at my home.

Let's go.

Roku's island was
100 miles away.

But I could still
feel it rumbling,

and see the black
plume of smoke.

I had never seen anything
like this catastrophe.

This is amazing, Roku.

You're battling a volcano,
and you're winning.

Unfortunately,
my success didn't last, Aang.

There was no way
I could do it all.

Battling the elements
was hard enough,

I had to do it while I
could barely breathe.

The poisonous,
volcanic gasses were overwhelming.

It's all right, Fang.

Get out of here, I'm fine.

Need a hand, old friend?

Sozin?

There's not a moment to waste.

Don't breathe the toxic gas.

It's... Too much.

Please...

Without you,
all my plans are suddenly possible.

I have a vision for the
future, Roku.

Who's...
Wait, that's me, isn't it?

Make sense of our past, Aang.

And you will bring peace and
restore balance in the world.

Roku?

Roku...

With Roku gone,
and the great comet returning

the timing was perfect
to change the world.

I knew the next Avatar
would be born an air nomad.

So I wiped out the air temples.

But somehow,
the new Avatar eluded me.

I wasted the remainder of
my life searching in vain.

I know he's hiding
out there somewhere,

the Fire Nation's
greatest threat.

The last airbender.

That can't be it,
where's the rest of it?

You sent this, didn't you?

I found the secret history.

Which, by the way, should be renamed
"The History Most People Already Know."

The note said that I needed to know
about my great-grandfather's death,

but he was still
alive in the end.

No. He wasn't.

What are you talking about?

You have more than one
great-grandfather, Prince Zuko.

Sozin was your
father's grandfather.

Your mother's grandfather
was Avatar Roku.

Why are you telling me this?

Because understanding the struggle
between your two great-grandfathers

can help you better understand
the battle within yourself.

Evil and good are always
at war inside you, Zuko.

It is your nature, your legacy.

But, there is a bright side.

What happened generations
ago can be resolved now.

By you.

Because of your legacy, you alone
can cleanse the sins of our family,

and the Fire Nation.

Born in you,
along with all this strife

is the power to restore
balance to the world.

This is a royal artifact.

It's supposed to be worn
by the crown prince.

You mean, after all Roku and
Sozin went through together,

even after Roku showed him mercy,
Sozin betrayed him like that?

It's like these
people are born bad.

No, that's wrong.

I don't think that was the point
of what Roku showed me at all.

Then what was the point?

Roku was just as much Fire
Nation as Sozin was, right?

If anything, their story proves anyone's
capable of great good and great evil.

Everyone, even the Fire
Lord and the Fire Nation,

have to be treated like
they're worth giving a chance.

And I also think it
was about friendships.

Do you really think friendships
can last more than one lifetime?

I don't see why not.

Well, scientifically speaking,
there's no way to prove that...

Sokka, just hold hands.
