Plot: Sixteen years after the Na’vi repelled the Resources Development Administration (RDA) from Pandora, Jake Sully is chief of the Omatikaya clan and raises his family with Neytiri: sons Neteyam and Lo’ak, daughter Tuktirey “Tuk”, and adopted daughter Kiri, born from Dr. Grace Augustine’s inert avatar. Miles “Spider” Socorro, son of the late Colonel Miles Quaritch, frequently visits Jake and Neytiri‘s children while being raised by human scientists who have stayed on Pandora.
The RDA returns to colonize Pandora. Among them are Recombinants, Na’vi avatars implanted with memories of deceased human soldiers, with a recombinant Quaritch as their leader. Jake leads a guerrilla warfare campaign against the RDA. During a counterinsurgency mission, Quaritch and his subordinates capture Jake’s children. Jake and Neytiri free them, but Quaritch captures Spider, subsequently recognizing him as his son. After the RDA unsuccessfully interrogates Spider, Quaritch decides to spend time with Spider to gain his favor. In return, Spider teaches Quaritch about Na’vi culture and language.
Aware of the danger posed by Spider’s knowledge, Jake and his family leave the Omatikaya and relocate to Pandora’s eastern sea, inhabited by the aquatic Metkayina clan. There, the family assimilates with the Metkayina: Kiri develops a spiritual bond with the sea, Jake and Neytiri assist Chief Tonowari and his wife Ronal, while Lo’ak befriends Tsireya, the Chief’s daughter. Following an altercation between Lo’ak and Chief Tonowari’s son Aonung after the latter mocked Kiri, Lo’ak apologizes for initiating the fight.
Later, Aonung and his friends entice Lo’ak to join a hunting trip, but strand him in a sea predator’s territory. Lo’ak is saved from the predator by a Tulkun (an intelligent and pacifist whale-like species, whom the Metkayina consider their spiritual brethren) named Payakan, and the two bond. Upon his return, Lo’ak wins Aonung’s respect by unexpectedly taking the blame on Aonung’s behalf instead of exposing him, but is told that Payakan is an outcast from the other Tulkun. Later, Kiri links to the Metkayina’s underwater Spirit Tree and meets her mother Grace in a vision, but suffers a seizure underwater and nearly drowns. Jake summons his scientist friends Norm Spellman and Max Patel for help; they diagnose Kiri with epilepsy, warning that she may die if she links with the Spirit Tree underwater again.
Meanwhile, Quaritch tracks Norm and Max’s aircraft to the Metkayina’s archipelago. Bringing Spider with him, Quaritch joins forces with the RDA’s marine operations and commandeers a whaling vessel hunting the Tulkun. Quaritch’s squad raids the archipelago, but failing to find Jake after interrogating the tribe, burns the village to draw him out. Lo’ak mentally links with Payakan and learns that Payakan was cast out from the Tulkun because he attacked human whalers who killed his mother, violating the Tulkun vow of pacifism.
When the Metkayina learn of the RDA’s Tulkun killings, Lo’ak goes to warn Payakan, accompanied by most of the children. Payakan, they find, has been tagged for capture by the RDA’s crew, though he escapes as the children are caught. Jake, Neytiri, and the Metkayina confront the humans and rescue the children. Quaritch forces Jake to surrender, but Payakan attacks the vessel, sparking a battle between the Metkayina and the humans. Spider cripples the RDA vessel, while Neteyam rescues Lo’ak, Tsireya, and Spider, but is fatally shot.
Enraged by Neteyam’s death, Jake and Neytiri attack the RDA crew, seeking to rescue Kiri and Tuk. After freeing Tuk, Jake finds Quaritch holding Kiri hostage, but Quaritch releases her when Neytiri threatens to kill Spider. They all get trapped inside the sinking vessel. After a tense skirmish, Jake strangles Quaritch unconscious and is rescued by Lo’ak and Payakan, while Kiri saves Neytiri and Tuk. Spider saves Quaritch from drowning but rejects him and rejoins Jake’s family.
After Neteyam’s funeral, Jake informs Chief Tonowari of his decision to leave the Metkayina, but Tonowari declares Jake’s family part of the clan and welcomes them to stay. Jake’s family accepts their new lives at sea but vows to continue their struggle against the RDA.

JAKE: The forests of Pandora hold many dangers.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
JAKE: But the most dangerous thing about Pandora… is that you may grow to love her too much.
(GRUNTS)
(SINGING IN NA’VI)
JAKE: We sing the songcords to remember. Each bead, a story in our life. A bead for the birth of our son.
(GASPS IN AWE)
Neteyam!
(BABY SQUEALS)
NA’VI PEOPLE: Neteyam!
(CONTINUES SINGING IN NA’VI)
JAKE: A bead when we adopted our daughter, Kiri. Born of Grace’s avatar. A daughter whose conception was a total mystery.

JAKE: (IN ENGLISH) Before I knew it, we had four.
(DIREHORSE GRUNTS)
When we sent the Sky People back to Earth, a few of ’em stayed. Science guys, loyal to the Na’vi.
And then there was Spider.
WOMAN: Spider, Spider…
Spider!
JAKE: He was just stuck here. Too young for a cryocapsule.
You little wild man.
(YOUNG SPIDER GIGGLES) YOUNG SPIDER: See you, Norm!
JAKE: Orphaned by the war, he was raised by the lab guys. Spider, take your spare!
I’m just going to the village!
JAKE: He wasn’t part of our family. He was like a stray cat. Just always around.
(ALL SPEAKING NA’VI)
Inseparable from our kids.
(HISSES)
(ALL SPEAKING NA’VI) To Neytiri, he would always be alien. One of them. (IN NA’VI)
(YOUNG SPIDER HOLLERS, YELLS)
(BOY GRUNTS)
JAKE: (IN ENGLISH) Took a few years to get the language through my thick skull.
JAKE: But now when I hear it, it might as well be English. I hate you!
Well, I hate you times infinity, Lo’ak!
Penis face!
(SCREAMS)
Hey! Hey! That’s enough.
Don’t make me come over there.
(WHISPERING)
He’s gonna come out from behind those big rocks.
There he is.
There you go.
Go get it!
Yeah!
(CHUCKLES) Hey, Neteyam, the mighty fisherman.
There you go. Good boy.
(CHUCKLES GLEEFULLY)
Wow.
Wow, that’s a big one.
By the rocks. (GRUNTS) Right where you said.
How tall is he?
JAKE: He’s… that tall.
YOUNG LO’AK: He’s tall!

MAN: Yeah, here it comes.
WOMAN: You’re just fine.
(ECHOES) Just lie still. Stay calm. Yep. Pupillary reflex is good.
MAN 2: Get that out of his face.
MAN: Hey!
Colonel, can you hear me? Colonel?
(GRUNTS)
WOMAN: You need to lie back down, sir.
(GROWLING)
Sedate him!

Well… ain’t this a bitch.
(PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES)
ANNOUNCER: Stand by. Two minutes to Pandora insertion. Secure for Delta V.
MAN 1: All right.
Umbilical’s clear.
MAN 2: Pulse ox 89.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, you’re Colonel Miles Quaritch. Only younger, taller, bluer, and not nearly as good-lookin’. In two hours, I fly a mission against the Na’vi’s stronghold. The powers that be thought it prudent that I do this backup just in case. And if you are watchin’ it, well, it means that I did get my ticket punched. (CLEARS THROAT) Hey, Parker, just what the hell am I supposed to say now? Just remind him how this works.
Who?
Here. So see this?
This is all your memories
and your personality.
Right. We’re gonna send this back to Earth… All right, I got it. …where you’re growing in a lab as we speak. We’re gonna imprint you with it, and then… I got… Hey, hey, hey. Am I doin’ this, or are you doin’ this? Hurry it up.
Hurry it up. Anyway, the idea is to get the minds of the saltiest on-world operators. Yeah, like Corporal Wainfleet over there…
(GRUNTS DRAMATICALLY)
…and your humble narrator into… Oorah.
…recombinant bodies. You’re a recom now, Colonel, loaded with my memories and my charm. What you won’t remember is my death because it hasn’t happened yet, and it ain’t gonna.
WAINFLEET: Damn right.
ZDINARSIK: Hell yeah. Well, whatever happened, if you’re any clone of mine, you’ll be lookin’ for some payback. And Jake Sully would be at the top of that list.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
Remember, kid, a Marine can’t be defeated. Oh, you can kill us, but we’ll just regroup in hell. Oorah. Semper fi.

No way!
Dad will skin us!
Come on.
Don’t be a wuss.
Lo’ak!
Get back here, you…
Argh!
NORM: Taking the whole case!
We’re taking mags, the RPGs, the stingers.

Yeah.
Where’s your brother?
That way.
Where is he? Where?
Get outta here! Go on!
Neteyam!
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, God.
(GROANS)
Dad?
(JAKE GRUNTS)
(CHOKING) What are you doin’ here, boy?
What the hell were you thinkin’?
I’m s… I’m sorry.
I’m sorry, sir.
QUARITCH: We are not in Kansas anymore.
We are going to Pandora.
Now, I know you’re all askin’ yourselves the same question.
Why so blue?
(ALL LAUGH)
For our sins in our past life, we have been brought back in the form of our enemy. That gives us their size, their strength, their speed. And with our training, that’s a pretty potent mix.
(WAINFLEET SNIFFS)
Do we have a mission yet?
Indeed we do.
Our mission is to hunt down and kill the leader of the Na’vi insurgency.
The one they call Toruk Makto. Jake Sully.
SQUAD: Yeah!
That’s what it is!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(IKRAN SCREECHING)
Attack, attack!
Got ya!
Tuk! Come on!
Hyah!
I’m definitely faster when I’m blue.
(LAUGHS) Skxawng. No, seriously.
And the animals respect me more.
They don’t think of me as human.
Wait.
You’re human?
Haha.

(NEYTIRI GRUNTS)
TUK: Mom!
Tuk…
Mom.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk, Tuk, Tuk.
Fall in.
You’re supposed to be spotters.
You spot bogeys, and you call ’em in.
From a distance!
Does any of this sound familiar? Get here!
Jesus. I let you two geniuses fly a mission, and you disobey direct orders.
Kiri, can you go help your grandmother with the wounded? Please?
My brother is wounded.
It’s fine.
JAKE: Baby girl, please.
Tuk, go with her. Go.
NETEYAM: Dad.
Sir. I take full responsibility.
(KIRI AND TUK SIGH)
JAKE: Yeah, you do.
That’s right.
‘Cause you’re the older brother.
You gotta act like it.
NEYTIRI: MaJake. Your son is actually bleeding.
Mother, it’s fine. I…
Just go and get patched up.
Go on, dismissed.
You do understand that you almost got your brother killed.
Yes, sir.
You’re grounded.
No flying for a month.
Now, see to the ikran.
All of ’em. Yes, sir.
And get that crap off your face.
(IKRAN SCREECHING)
(SIGHS)
NETEYAM: (WINCES) Ow. Ow!
SPIDER: Aw, want a kiss on the booboo?
Give him this.
Okay.
I would use yalna bark.
Here, drink.
Oh, you would?
And who is Tsahik? You are, Grand… Move!
You are, Grandmother.
But yalna bark is better.
Ow, ow! Ow.
It stings less.
LO’AK: Mighty Warrior.
What? (SIGHS) Neteyam and Lo’ak try to live up to you.
It is very hard on them.
I know.
You are very hard on them.
I’m their father.
It’s my job.
This is not a squad.
It is a family.
(JAKE SIGHS)
(WHISPERS)
I thought we’d lost them.
(SIGHS SOFTLY)
JOCELYN: We’ll check on this tomorrow.
Hey, man.
How’s it going?
Hey, Spider.
Your ass is mine.
I’m right here.
SPIDER: What’s up, bro?
MAN: What up?
JOCELYN: Avatars only, go around!
(KIRI MIMICS MOCKINGLY)
Sorry.
Yeah. Those blue stripes don’t make you any bigger, bro.
(KIRI CHUCKLES)
SPIDER: Yeah, well, I can still kick your ass.
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
NORM: Oof! Hell of a day.
(MAX CHUCKLES)
MAX: Long run.
(GRUNTING) KIRI: Like a little annoying bug.
(LAUGHTER)
Haha. Real hysterical, guys.
You know what really sucks though?
Is you can breathe Earth air for hours, and I can only breathe your air for, like, 10 seconds.
Yeah, Monkey Boy, that really sucks.
For you. (CHUCKLES) Oh!
(SNARLS)
Hi, Max.
MAX: Hey, kids.
Hey. What’s up, Max?
What up?
SPIDER: What’s up, Norm?
Lo’ak.
Hi, Ma.
(DREAMY MUSIC PLAYING)
Maybe I’m just losing it out here, but I’m seeing real evidence of a systemic response on a global level. I can’t… I won’t use the term “intelligence.” It’s, um… (HEAVY BREATHING THROUGH MASK) …maybe “awareness” is a better word. It’s like the entire biosphere of Pandora is aware… and capable of this cognitive response. Oh, crap, I can’t say that. They’ll crucify me. I mean, I need to say something that’ll…
So who do you think knocked her up?
(CHUCKLING)
Pretty sure it was Norm.
Totally.
You do not deserve to live.
No, no, no.
Think about it, right?
I mean, he’s the teacher’s pet.
He’s out at the lab with her all the time.
I would kill myself.
I would drink acid.
Bro, you’re right.
He’s, like, in every shot.
(CHUCKLING) Bro, look, look, he’s giving her looks.
Hey.
LO’AK: See, I’m thinkin’ their two avatars were out in the woods all alone…
Gross!
(LO’AK LAUGHS) Guys. I mean, sometimes it’s not so great to know who your father was.
(SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING)
Whatever.
Don’t even remember him.
No, Spider.
Dude.
Spider…
You are not him.

Directly inside the terminal.
Do not stop.
Move!
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Masks off.
Sir, this is the General.
(GENERAL GRUNTING)
(CONTINUES GRUNTING)
(PANTING)
General Ardmore.
Good to meet you, Colonel.
Hmm.
I’ve heard good things, but a lot’s changed since your last tour here.
Walk with me.
(ROBOTS CHITTERING)
GENERAL ARDMORE: The new ops center is over here.
That just came online.
These Swarm Assemblers, they can put up a building in six days.
We have done more here in a year than in the previous 30 years.
We’re not here to run a mine, Colonel.
As On-World Commander, I have been charged with a greater mission.
(MACHINES WHIRRING LOUDLY)
Earth is dying.
Our task here is to tame this frontier.
Nothing less than to make Pandora the new home for humanity.
But before we can do that, we need to pacify the hostiles.
Sully’s raids are becoming bolder and more frequent.
His strikes are well-planned.
He’s got tight coordination between his ground and air assets.
His forces are hitting our outlying sites.
The mines, pipelines, cutting off our supply chain.
And they hit a maglev two days ago.
Any intel on Sully’s base of operations?
Yeah.
Give me the mountains.
It’s a cave system in the Hallelujah Mountains somewhere.
But every time we send our forces up there, we take losses.
Our hardware really stirs up the hornet’s nest.
We only get 10 minutes in enemy airspace, they are all over us.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Colonel, we believe your Blue Team will be perceived as indigenous and will not trigger the immune response.
And how might we test that hypothesis, General?
The hard way.
Outstanding.
(ENTHRALLING MUSIC PLAYING)
PILOT: We’re entering hostile airspace.
QUARITCH: Copy that.
(LAUGHS)
(ALL SHOUTING EXCITEDLY)
KIRI: Go! Whoo!

She’s such a cry baby.
She’s all, “I’m telling.
“You’re not supposed to go to the battlefield.
“I’ll tell Mom if you don’t let me come.”
Don’t pick on her.
(TUK JEERING)

Yeah, you were.
TUK: Kiri!
LO’AK: Kiri!
TUK: Kiri, we have to get back.
SPIDER: All right, come on.
KIRI: What is it?
TUK: We’re always supposed to be home by eclipse.
It’s way too big for a human.
Avatars?
Maybe, but they’re for sure not ours.
What are you doing?
Shh, I’m tracking.
(UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING)
Watch your six.
ZDINARSIK: Clear.
Perimeter up.
Damn.
KIRI: We are never supposed to come here.
(WHISPERING)
Dad is going to ground you.
(WHISPERING) Shh.
Can you stop?
For life.
Bro, we have got to check this out.
Let’s go.
Bro, that’s where your dad and my dad fought.
That’s your dad’s actual suit.
(CHUCKLES IN DISBELIEF)
Holy shit.
Lyle, see if you can pull some data off that dash cam.
WAINFLEET: That thing’s deader than shit, Colonel.
QUARITCH: So were we.
WAINFLEET: All right.
I gotta call this in.
No, bro, we’re gonna get in trouble.
Let’s go.

LO’AK: (ON COMMS) Devil Dog, Devil Dog, this is Eagle Eye, over. Eagle Eye.
Send your traffic.
I got eyes on some guys.
They look like avatars, but they’re in full camo and carrying ARs. There’s six of them.
Over. What’s your pos?
Over.
Oh… We’re at the old shack.
(SPIDER SIGHS)
Who’s “we”?
Me, Spider, Kiri… and Tuk.
(GASPS)
Son, you listen to me very carefully.
You pull back right now.
Do not make a sound.
You get the hell out of there. Move! You copy?
Yes, sir, moving out.
See, I told you!
LO’AK: Go, go.
Dad, I know a quick way!
(YELPS)
You’re going to be in so much trouble.
Shh! Kiri, stop.
Guys, come on.
It’s almost eclipse, come on.

Well, I’ll be damned…

Iron Sky, Blue One, Actual.
Blue One, Iron Sky, send your traffic.
QUARITCH: We are standing by for extract, over.
Take us in.

NEYTIRI: Lo’ak!

I pray for the strength that I will not pluck the eyeballs out of my youngest son! (SNARLS) TONOWARI: No. My son knows better than to take him outside the reef.
The blame is his.
Okay, let’s go.
No.
This is not Aonung’s fault.
This was my idea. Aonung tried to talk me out of it.
Really.
JAKE: Come on.
NEYTIRI: Lo’ak.
LO’AK: I’m sorry.
JAKE: Come on.
(WHISPERS) I got this.
Is this true?
Aonung.
What were you thinking?
Dad, you told me to make friends with these kids.
That’s all I was trying to…
I don’t want to hear it.
Dad…
You brought shame to this family.
(JAKE SIGHS)
Can I go now?
Any more trouble, I jerk a knot in your tail.
You read me?
Yes, sir.

(SOFTLY) Go on.

Where were you?
Yeah.
What happened to “keep an eye on your brother”?
Sorry, sir.
Why did you speak for me?
Because I know what it’s like to be one big disappointment.
(SCOFFS)
I wish I’d been there.
The ocean blessed you with a gift, brother.
The tulkun have not returned yet.
And anyway, no tulkun is ever alone.
Well, this one was.
He had a missing fin.
Like a stump.
On the left side.
Poor tulkun. Payakan.
What?
It’s Payakan.
Who’s Payakan?
A young bull who went rogue.
He’s outcast.
Alone.
And he has a missing fin.
They say he is a killer.
No, no.
He killed Na’vi, and other tulkun. Not here, but far to the south.
No, he’s no killer.
TSIREYA: Lo’ak, you are lucky to be alive.
I’m telling you guys.
He saved my life.
He’s my friend.
My baby bro!
The Mighty Warrior who faced the killer tulkun, and lived to tell about it, huh?

Hear my words, boy.
In the days of the First Songs, tulkun fought amongst themselves, for territory, and for revenge. But they came to believe that killing, no matter how justified, only brings more killing.
So all killing was forbidden.
This is the Tulkun Way.
Payakan is a killer, so, he is outcast.
I’m sorry, sir.
But you’re wrong.
Lo’ak.
You speak to Olo’eyktan!

Lo’ak, I saw something today.
I saw a Forest Boy chosen by tulkun. I am very proud of you.
Payakan didn’t kill those boys.
I saw it all.
The demon ship killed his mother right in front of him.
He gathered the young bulls and the reef boys together to attack the ship.
And they were all killed, but by the Sky People.
Not by him.
He’s not a killer.
No, Lo’ak.
By the Tulkun Way, he is.
He bears those deaths.
Does he have to pay for it for the rest of his life?
He knows what he did was wrong.
He would never do it again.

We must tell my father…
No. No.
