[In a flashback, the leader of the Southern Raiders Fire Navy division is interrogating Katara's Mother, Kya, to reveal the identity of the last Waterbender.]
Kya: If I tell you, do you promise to leave the rest of the village alone?
Yon Rha: [Nods in assent]
Kya: ...It's me. Take me as your prisoner.
Yon Rha: [ cruel smile] I'm afraid I'm not taking prisoners today...
[Back in the present.]
Katara: She lied to you. She was protecting the last Waterbender.
Yon Rha: What? Who?!
Katara: Me!
(Katara raises her hands and the rain suddenly stops all around them and reforms into a huge dome of water; she sends a rush of water at Yon Rha, transforming it into ice daggers that stop just short of killing him; suddenly, Katara relents and lets them melt)
Yon Rha: [Drops to his knees in terror] I did a bad thing! I know I did and you deserve revenge, so why don't you take my mother? That would be fair!
Katara: I always wondered what kind of person could do such a thing, but now that I see you, I think I understand. There's just nothing inside you, nothing at all. You're pathetic and sad and empty.
Yon Rha: Please, spare me!
Katara But as much as I hate you... I just can't do it.
