If we stay here, we're toast. 261 00:22:42,790 --> 00:22:44,890 - But there's another way to beat him. - How? 262 00:22:45,390 --> 00:22:48,630 This whole time, Amon has been one step ahead of us. 263 00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:51,030 But finally we have the advantage. 264 00:22:51,540 --> 00:22:52,840 We know the truth about him. 265 00:22:53,170 --> 00:22:56,300 If we expose him as a bender in front of all his supporters... 266 00:22:56,730 --> 00:22:57,540 At the rally... 267 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,000 - We could take away his true power! - And undermine this whole revolution! 268 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,850 Thank you for your help. 269 00:23:08,940 --> 00:23:11,250 - We can't just leave him here. - Go. 270 00:23:11,530 --> 00:23:13,710 Amon can't know anyone spoke with me. 271 00:23:14,550 --> 00:23:18,520 Defeat him.
