00:36.416 --> 00:38.916
There he is! Cut him off!

00:38.916 --> 00:41.125
Stop in the name of...

00:41.125 --> 00:42.250
Right there!

00:47.833 --> 00:49.166
Go!
Go!

00:52.958 --> 00:54.291
He's over there! Get him!

00:58.666 --> 01:01.583
There he is.
Don't let him get away!

01:07.291 --> 01:08.458
After him!

01:13.041 --> 01:14.750
Stop!

01:33.250 --> 01:34.666
An Earthbender.

01:37.458 --> 01:38.458
Hurry!

02:03.000 --> 02:04.208
Come on!

02:04.208 --> 02:05.583
Now! Now!

02:07.500 --> 02:08.625
He went that way!

02:12.583 --> 02:14.333
Get that to the Earth King.

02:14.916 --> 02:16.625
They're going to start a war!

02:16.625 --> 02:18.458
There!
- Go now!

02:59.833 --> 03:01.083
You're too late.

03:01.666 --> 03:04.708
Your battle plans are already on their way
to the Earth Kingdom.

03:04.708 --> 03:05.916
Good.

03:06.791 --> 03:09.708
That means all eyes
will be on the Earth Kingdom.

03:11.500 --> 03:12.958
All eyes but ours.

03:16.250 --> 03:18.208
We'll be prepared for your attack.

03:19.041 --> 03:21.583
When your king receives those plans,

03:22.375 --> 03:25.166
he will redirect his forces
to your borders

03:26.375 --> 03:28.958
and rally the support
of the other nations.

03:29.458 --> 03:33.458
The Water Tribes
and the Air Nomads and the entire world

03:33.958 --> 03:37.333
will turn their attention
to the Earthbenders.

03:43.583 --> 03:45.166
You... you wanted us to know?

03:49.208 --> 03:50.750
We aren't the real target.

03:54.458 --> 03:56.625
My sights are set higher.

03:57.958 --> 03:59.333
Much higher.

04:00.000 --> 04:00.833
Why?

04:02.875 --> 04:03.958
Why are you doing this?

04:11.333 --> 04:13.625
Because it is our time.

04:25.916 --> 04:27.916
A masterful ruse, Your Highness.

04:28.416 --> 04:31.875
But tactically,
the Airbenders are not the threat.

04:33.125 --> 04:35.166
This isn't about the Airbenders.

04:35.750 --> 04:37.625
This is about one who lives among them.

04:37.625 --> 04:40.958
The only one
who could possibly stand in our way.

04:40.958 --> 04:43.125
But the Avatar is yet to be revealed.

04:45.333 --> 04:48.166
Which is why we have to kill them all.

04:57.000 --> 04:58.250
<i>Water.</i>

05:00.291 --> 05:01.416
<i>Earth.</i>

05:04.041 --> 05:05.208
<i>Fire.</i>

05:07.666 --> 05:08.625
<i>Air.</i>

05:12.291 --> 05:15.958
<i>For millennia,
the four nations have lived in harmony,</i>

05:17.208 --> 05:19.791
<i>a peace made possible by the Avatar...</i>

05:23.583 --> 05:27.750
<i>the one person with the ability
to master all four elements</i>

05:27.750 --> 05:31.250
<i>and protect the delicate balance
between nations.</i>

05:35.166 --> 05:36.875
<i>When one Avatar dies,</i>

05:37.375 --> 05:41.500
<i>their spirit is reborn into a new body
in an eternal cycle.</i>

05:43.000 --> 05:45.333
<i>Since the death of the last Avatar,</i>

05:45.333 --> 05:48.666
<i>the new incarnation has yet to emerge.</i>

05:48.666 --> 05:53.041
<i>And so Fire Lord Sozin,
the ruthless leader of the Fire Nation,</i>

05:53.041 --> 05:57.083
<i>believes this is his moment
to launch a merciless campaign</i>

05:57.083 --> 05:58.625
<i>to conquer the world.</i>

05:59.125 --> 06:02.083
<i>His first step is
to eliminate the one person</i>

06:02.083 --> 06:04.375
<i>who could stand in his way.</i>

06:04.375 --> 06:06.958
<i>The next master of all four elements,</i>

06:06.958 --> 06:11.791
<i>an Airbender who may not be ready
for the responsibility of becoming</i>

06:12.291 --> 06:13.541
<i>the Avatar.</i>

06:58.083 --> 06:59.208
Aang!

07:02.291 --> 07:03.166
Aang!

07:10.375 --> 07:11.666
Hey, look!
Yeah!

07:16.083 --> 07:17.166
Wow!

07:21.541 --> 07:22.666
Who else?

07:29.750 --> 07:30.791
Whoa!

07:38.000 --> 07:39.083
Show-off.

07:39.666 --> 07:42.000
What? I was just enjoying the view.
Ha.

07:43.500 --> 07:45.416
Monk Tsutop was looking for you.

07:45.416 --> 07:47.500
You skipped training again!

07:47.500 --> 07:51.375
It's all the same drills.
You know I already know all this stuff.

07:51.375 --> 07:52.375
Aang.

07:53.833 --> 07:58.416
You may be more advanced than the others,
but there's much you have to learn.

07:59.083 --> 08:00.166
And believe it or not,

08:01.500 --> 08:06.250
there may come a day when you wish
you'd spent more time with your teachers.

08:11.708 --> 08:15.000
Now, you and the other students
better go help set up

08:15.000 --> 08:16.750
for the Great Comet Festival.

08:17.750 --> 08:19.000
Still a lot of work to be done

08:19.000 --> 08:22.250
before the Air Nomads
from the other temples arrive.

08:22.250 --> 08:23.583
How many are coming?

08:23.583 --> 08:26.458
Wait. What's that sound?

08:27.000 --> 08:28.166
Look! Up there!

08:30.375 --> 08:31.708
Look at all of them.

08:34.083 --> 08:35.625
Wow! There's so many!

08:36.291 --> 08:37.875
Look at all of them!

08:37.875 --> 08:39.000
All of them.

08:41.541 --> 08:43.750
Come on, Aang! They're right up there!

08:45.041 --> 08:46.208
Wait up!

08:49.000 --> 08:50.083
Did you tell him?

08:52.958 --> 08:55.166
It wasn't the right time.
The right time?

08:55.750 --> 08:57.916
We don't have the luxury
of waiting for the right time.

08:58.583 --> 09:01.083
We need to go talk to the council now.

09:08.375 --> 09:10.541
<i>Aang has always been a prodigy.</i>

09:10.541 --> 09:13.125
The youngest Airbender in history

09:13.125 --> 09:15.583
to receive the markings of a master.

09:16.166 --> 09:18.875
But he is only 12.

09:18.875 --> 09:21.041
We can't ask this of him.

09:21.041 --> 09:23.541
Fire Lord Sozin
is planning to attack the Earth Kingdom.

09:23.541 --> 09:26.666
The Water Tribes are already sending
the warriors to aid the Earthbenders,

09:26.666 --> 09:28.500
and we need to help them as well.

09:28.500 --> 09:30.125
And we need the Avatar.

09:30.125 --> 09:35.208
Yes, Aang is powerful,
but there's much he still needs to learn

09:35.791 --> 09:37.500
about responsibility,

09:37.500 --> 09:38.958
expectations,

09:39.458 --> 09:40.791
sacrifice.

09:41.875 --> 09:45.875
Most of all, he needs to know who he is.

09:47.000 --> 09:49.541
If we send him away
before he learns these things,

09:50.041 --> 09:53.416
he could fail to be
everything we need him to be.

09:54.958 --> 09:57.416
And he and the world

09:58.166 --> 09:59.958
might never recover from that.

10:00.791 --> 10:04.208
The role of the Avatar
is a heavy responsibility,

10:04.791 --> 10:06.458
not meant for a child.

10:07.041 --> 10:10.000
But it is not our place
to choose who bears that burden,

10:10.000 --> 10:14.166
and I fear you've grown too close to Aang
to see that, Brother Gyatso.

10:14.666 --> 10:15.916
Aang must leave immediately

10:15.916 --> 10:18.333
to begin training
in the other bending disciplines,

10:18.916 --> 10:19.791
and we can only hope

10:19.791 --> 10:22.500
that it is not too late for him
to make a difference.

10:31.208 --> 10:33.250
Are comet festivals always this much work?

10:33.250 --> 10:34.958
Well, the last one was
a hundred years ago,

10:34.958 --> 10:36.041
and believe it or not,

10:36.041 --> 10:38.791
I'm actually not old enough
to have seen that.

10:38.791 --> 10:42.458
Could have fooled me.

10:46.208 --> 10:48.125
Remember the last time I brought you here?

10:48.625 --> 10:50.416
Sure. When I got my tattoos.

10:50.416 --> 10:52.541
Most receive their markings
in the main hall,

10:52.541 --> 10:56.958
but I wanted you to receive yours
in the presence of Yangchen,

10:56.958 --> 10:59.791
the last Air Nomad to be the Avatar.

10:59.791 --> 11:02.500
When she died, the next Avatar was born

11:02.500 --> 11:05.083
into the following nation
in the eternal cycle,

11:05.083 --> 11:07.750
so after Yangchen's death

11:08.416 --> 11:13.125
came Kuruk of the Water Tribes,
then Kyoshi of the Earth Kingdom...

11:13.125 --> 11:14.833
And then Roku in the Fire Nation.

11:14.833 --> 11:17.833
Which means the next Avatar

11:18.500 --> 11:20.250
will once again be an Airbender.

11:20.875 --> 11:25.708
Her spirit echoes in one of us.

11:27.166 --> 11:30.250
Aang, you have always been special.

11:30.916 --> 11:33.583
The most talented Airbender
I have ever known.

11:34.083 --> 11:35.958
I never asked to be special.

11:35.958 --> 11:37.041
But you are.

11:38.500 --> 11:39.416
Aang,

11:40.416 --> 11:43.458
you are the Avatar.

11:46.958 --> 11:50.166
The Fire Nation
has embarked on a dark path.

11:50.166 --> 11:53.208
Their actions threaten
to throw the world out of balance.

11:53.208 --> 11:58.333
Only the Avatar, the one person
who can master all four elements,

11:58.333 --> 11:59.708
can save the world.

12:00.708 --> 12:02.333
The world needs the Avatar.

12:03.458 --> 12:05.708
The world needs you, Aang.

12:06.375 --> 12:09.875
You're to leave right away so you can
begin training in the other disciplines.

12:10.833 --> 12:12.166
Right away?

12:12.166 --> 12:15.416
Leave my friends? Leave home? Leave you?

12:15.416 --> 12:16.541
Now, this

12:17.583 --> 12:19.416
would be a huge burden for anyone,

12:21.166 --> 12:23.125
but you're not just anyone, Aang.

12:23.625 --> 12:25.041
You're strong

12:25.958 --> 12:27.083
and kind

12:27.833 --> 12:29.083
and generous.

12:30.125 --> 12:31.541
Remember that.

12:31.541 --> 12:34.000
Always remember who you are

12:34.666 --> 12:38.041
because I can't imagine a better person
to have been given this power.

12:39.416 --> 12:42.541
I don't want... the power.

12:43.250 --> 12:47.875
Which is why you will make a great Avatar.

12:49.958 --> 12:51.750
Why do I have to be different?

12:53.125 --> 12:54.250
Can't I just

12:55.291 --> 12:57.291
keep pretending that I'm your friend?

13:00.333 --> 13:01.625
You are my friend.

13:03.208 --> 13:06.958
You... will always be my friend.

13:45.291 --> 13:46.166
Hey, Appa.

13:48.500 --> 13:50.125
Couldn't sleep either, huh?

13:55.333 --> 13:57.500
Gyatso says I'm supposed to be the Avatar.

13:58.666 --> 14:00.875
Me.

14:00.875 --> 14:03.041
Monks don't even trust me
to feed the baby bison,

14:03.041 --> 14:05.250
and I'm supposed to save the world?

14:07.875 --> 14:11.041
He said I need to remember who I am.

14:12.000 --> 14:13.875
But I know who I am.

14:14.500 --> 14:16.791
I like to play airball
and eat banana cakes

14:16.791 --> 14:18.958
and goof off with my friends.

14:18.958 --> 14:20.250
That's who I am,

14:21.041 --> 14:23.708
not someone who can stop the Fire Nation.

14:23.708 --> 14:25.625
Not someone who can stop a war.

14:30.666 --> 14:34.166
The other kids always say I'm lucky
because of the things I could do,

14:34.166 --> 14:36.500
but I'd trade places with any of them.

14:38.041 --> 14:39.708
I don't wanna leave.

14:39.708 --> 14:41.916
I don't want the responsibility.

14:41.916 --> 14:44.958
I'm scared of my power.
I'm scared of being alone!

14:55.250 --> 14:56.250
I'm scared.

15:06.083 --> 15:07.041
You're right.

15:07.625 --> 15:10.458
I just need to go up
where things always make more sense.

15:12.208 --> 15:13.250
At least for now.

15:14.166 --> 15:16.666
Yip, yip!

15:38.666 --> 15:39.708
Remember,

15:40.583 --> 15:42.041
no survivors.

16:05.708 --> 16:08.166
Brothers and sisters, we're under attack!

16:18.750 --> 16:20.125
Yah!

16:48.750 --> 16:51.041
What's going on?
- Come with me, quickly!

16:52.583 --> 16:53.541
Where's Aang?

16:54.791 --> 16:57.000
Aang!

17:48.083 --> 17:51.000
Quickly, move along.

17:58.041 --> 18:01.041
It's getting kind of rough, Appa.
Maybe we should head back home?

18:12.083 --> 18:15.125
That's it.
Stay quiet. You'll be safe in there.

18:15.125 --> 18:16.208
Right into the corner.

18:17.583 --> 18:19.041
Stay down.

18:56.541 --> 18:57.750
It's okay, Appa!

18:57.750 --> 18:59.458
Steady!

20:19.708 --> 20:22.208
Oh!

20:43.041 --> 20:45.333
You may have prevailed on another night.

20:49.708 --> 20:53.125
But not when we have
the power of the comet!

21:00.125 --> 21:01.541
Ah!

22:13.458 --> 22:15.750
Come on!

22:23.833 --> 22:25.083
All right, listen up.

22:25.708 --> 22:27.916
We've been manning the wall
in three-hour shifts,

22:27.916 --> 22:32.083
but it seems some of you can't be trusted
to stay at your posts.

22:32.583 --> 22:33.791
So from now on,

22:34.541 --> 22:37.916
two people at all times,
meaning twice as many shifts.

22:39.166 --> 22:40.791
Is there a problem?

22:40.791 --> 22:43.083
Didn't think so.
Okay, back to your duties.

22:43.083 --> 22:45.625
Come on, let's go.

22:46.166 --> 22:47.291
Where are we going?

22:48.375 --> 22:50.125
The fishing boats came back empty.

22:50.125 --> 22:52.750
Just proves if you want something
done right, gotta do it yourself.

22:53.250 --> 22:55.500
They don't appreciate
your incredible leadership skills.

22:55.500 --> 22:57.250
That's right. They don't realize it.

22:58.291 --> 22:59.500
Very funny.

23:02.750 --> 23:03.791
Katara!

23:11.125 --> 23:12.375
So where were you before?

23:15.125 --> 23:17.000
You were waterbending again, weren't you?

23:18.333 --> 23:20.291
Don't worry. No one could see me.

23:21.375 --> 23:22.333
Not that it matters.

23:23.333 --> 23:26.208
Of course it matters. If the Fire Nation
finds out you're a Waterbender--

23:26.208 --> 23:29.416
No one from the Fire Nation
has approached the village in years.

23:30.000 --> 23:32.541
Besides, there's nothing to see.

23:33.416 --> 23:35.541
An otter penguin
could bend more water than I could.

23:37.333 --> 23:38.666
It's probably for the best.

23:38.666 --> 23:41.000
You should be helping out more
around the village anyway.

23:42.458 --> 23:44.458
Not everything
is about preparing to fight.

23:45.375 --> 23:48.000
- We're at war.
- Waterbending is what built our culture.

23:48.500 --> 23:50.666
Our way of life.
Keeping it alive is our duty.

23:50.666 --> 23:53.208
- Keeping ourselves alive is our duty.
- I know that.

23:54.250 --> 23:57.166
- And if Dad were here--
- But he's not here! I am!

24:05.750 --> 24:06.750
Katara.

24:09.583 --> 24:12.291
Katara. Sulk later, paddle now.

24:21.708 --> 24:22.625
Good job.

24:22.625 --> 24:24.166
I'm not doing this.

24:42.750 --> 24:44.125
Sokka!

24:51.916 --> 24:52.958
You okay?

24:55.125 --> 24:57.833
Oh no. No, no, that's not good.

25:03.166 --> 25:04.291
What is that?

25:09.083 --> 25:10.416
Huh, weird.

25:18.708 --> 25:21.125
We need to get that canoe,
or we're gonna end up as fish food,

25:22.333 --> 25:23.541
which would be ironic.

25:52.791 --> 25:54.666
Maybe I could float over on some ice?

26:12.208 --> 26:14.000
Uh, Katara?

26:51.041 --> 26:51.958
Finally.

27:24.416 --> 27:25.708
Where did he come from?

27:26.500 --> 27:27.458
I don't know.

27:29.166 --> 27:31.916
Oh! Nice. Nice. We're not gonna die.

27:33.583 --> 27:34.875
Come on. Let's go home.

27:35.875 --> 27:38.750
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing?

27:39.333 --> 27:41.000
You're not thinking of leaving him?

27:41.000 --> 27:44.791
Katara, a strange, glowy iceberg
just exploded and left behind

27:44.791 --> 27:46.541
a mysterious little bald person.

27:46.541 --> 27:50.083
What part of that makes you think,
"Great, let's bring him home"?

27:50.083 --> 27:52.541
Sokka, he's just a kid.

27:53.291 --> 27:55.250
We can't just leave him out here.

27:55.750 --> 27:57.875
I don't like this, but why listen to me?

27:57.875 --> 28:00.916
I'm just responsible
for the safety of the village.

28:18.833 --> 28:21.791
- He looks dead.
- What's that mark on his head?

28:23.166 --> 28:24.333
Let me take a look.

28:29.500 --> 28:32.000
It can't be.

28:32.000 --> 28:33.291
What is it, Gran Gran?

28:33.875 --> 28:36.500
This is an Airbender.

28:36.500 --> 28:39.583
It's impossible.
Airbenders don't exist anymore.

28:40.666 --> 28:43.166
Well, we won't get any answers
until he wakes up.

28:43.708 --> 28:44.833
We need to let him rest.

28:46.458 --> 28:47.375
Come on.

28:58.583 --> 29:00.666
The only settlement in that area
is Water Tribe Village

29:00.666 --> 29:02.958
in the South Pole territory.
That's where we have to go.

29:02.958 --> 29:05.583
- Where you think we'll find the Avatar?
- Yes.

29:05.583 --> 29:06.791
Because of the light?

29:07.666 --> 29:09.125
You think I'm imagining things?

29:10.916 --> 29:15.583
Sometimes, light beams are nothing more
than celestial glimmers in the winter sky.

29:15.583 --> 29:19.583
For three years,
I've chased down every hint, every rumor,

29:19.583 --> 29:22.000
every whisper of the Avatar,

29:22.625 --> 29:26.125
and I'll keep doing it
for another three years if I have to.

29:26.125 --> 29:29.000
Prince Zuko,
I don't think your father would want you--

29:29.000 --> 29:32.958
My father has banished me
until I find the Avatar,

29:32.958 --> 29:35.125
and that's exactly what I'll do.

29:36.125 --> 29:39.666
All I'm saying is,
it's hard to see you get your hopes up

29:39.666 --> 29:41.208
every time you see a...

29:42.041 --> 29:43.125
a sign.

29:48.666 --> 29:50.666
It'll all be worth it
once I return home in glory

29:50.666 --> 29:53.541
to take my place
as the rightful heir to the Fire Lord.

29:56.708 --> 30:00.375
Perhaps it's time to consider
that the throne isn't everything.

30:04.125 --> 30:05.500
It may not have been for you.

30:10.083 --> 30:11.166
But for me...

30:14.458 --> 30:15.791
it's my destiny.

30:40.916 --> 30:42.125
Come on. Come on.

30:53.166 --> 30:54.541
Come on. Come on!

31:14.000 --> 31:14.958
Got you!

31:15.541 --> 31:16.500
Gotcha!

31:18.208 --> 31:19.958
Hey, get away from him!

31:20.541 --> 31:22.750
What are you thinking?
Have you forgotten your training?

31:22.750 --> 31:25.291
What'd I say about keeping your guard up?
He could be the enemy.

31:25.291 --> 31:26.250
The enemy?

31:27.208 --> 31:28.291
I'm not the enemy.

31:28.875 --> 31:29.958
Then who are you?

31:30.916 --> 31:31.916
I'm Aang.

31:34.291 --> 31:35.333
Where am I?

31:35.916 --> 31:37.791
- How'd I get here?
- You tell me.

31:37.791 --> 31:38.750
Wait.

31:39.625 --> 31:40.458
Appa?

31:41.500 --> 31:42.500
Appa!

31:43.208 --> 31:44.041
Where's Appa?

31:45.750 --> 31:46.791
Sokka!

31:47.583 --> 31:48.666
Have you seen him?

31:49.208 --> 31:50.125
Yeah.

31:50.958 --> 31:52.750
That's not strange at all.

31:53.583 --> 31:56.000
This is unbelievable.
- Appa!

31:56.000 --> 31:57.875
He is an Airbender.

32:08.791 --> 32:09.958
Have you seen Appa?

32:10.458 --> 32:12.000
My sky bison.

32:12.958 --> 32:16.875
Six legs, horns, brown arrows?

32:17.416 --> 32:18.666
Sky bison.

32:19.208 --> 32:22.041
- Sky bison!
- Repeating it doesn't help.

32:25.666 --> 32:27.958
Whoa!
What is that thing?

32:29.958 --> 32:31.333
Appa!

32:41.458 --> 32:42.583
Sky bison.

32:46.250 --> 32:47.916
You say you went down in the storm?

32:47.916 --> 32:49.166
It came upon us suddenly.

32:49.750 --> 32:52.541
The weather went crazy
just after I left home.

32:52.541 --> 32:54.041
The Southern Air Temple.

32:55.625 --> 32:57.333
Where the Air Nomads live.

32:58.000 --> 33:00.083
Well, not all the Air Nomads,

33:00.083 --> 33:03.041
but most of them had just arrived
for the Great Comet Festival.

33:03.041 --> 33:04.750
The Great Comet Festival.

33:07.708 --> 33:08.875
Gran Gran?

33:11.083 --> 33:15.291
Water, earth, fire, air.

33:15.291 --> 33:19.333
Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.

33:19.333 --> 33:23.500
Then everything changed
when the Fire Nation attacked.

33:24.083 --> 33:27.916
Only the Avatar,
master of all four elements,

33:27.916 --> 33:29.208
could stop them.

33:30.041 --> 33:32.958
But when the world needed him most,

33:33.666 --> 33:34.666
he vanished.

33:36.083 --> 33:39.000
And so the Fire Nation
marched and laid waste,

33:39.583 --> 33:42.125
plunging us into a time of darkness.

33:43.333 --> 33:45.875
Everyone in the village knows this story,

33:46.750 --> 33:49.583
but you don't, do you, young man?

33:50.291 --> 33:56.125
Just as you don't know that Airbenders
haven't been seen in generations

33:56.125 --> 33:59.708
and that the Southern Air Temple
was the first to fall,

34:00.291 --> 34:03.875
because you've been trapped
in that ice this whole time.

34:03.875 --> 34:07.708
The last time that the Great Comet
was seen in the sky

34:07.708 --> 34:11.000
was 100 years ago.

34:17.708 --> 34:19.708
He may seem like just a boy,

34:19.708 --> 34:21.458
but he's much more.

34:22.958 --> 34:26.083
He is the last Airbender.

34:34.625 --> 34:38.250
Of all the places to drag our asses to,
he picks the coldest spot in the world.

34:38.250 --> 34:41.458
How come his omens never take us
somewhere with hot springs, huh?

34:46.500 --> 34:48.916
- Something you wanna say, Lieutenant Jee?
- No, sir.

34:50.958 --> 34:52.791
Let me make something clear.

34:52.791 --> 34:56.750
Our mission is vital
to the future of the Fire Nation,

34:56.750 --> 34:59.041
and so we will find the Avatar.

34:59.750 --> 35:02.000
We will prove ourselves worthy,

35:02.000 --> 35:04.708
and we will see
our homes and families again...

35:08.041 --> 35:09.500
or we will die trying.

35:23.541 --> 35:24.500
Are you okay?

35:27.041 --> 35:28.583
A hundred years.

35:29.250 --> 35:30.375
All my friends,

35:31.000 --> 35:32.208
everyone I know...

35:34.833 --> 35:36.083
they're all gone.

35:37.250 --> 35:38.625
Um, I'm sorry.

35:40.583 --> 35:43.458
Believe me, I know how hard it is
to lose the people you love.

35:52.666 --> 35:55.833
When I was little,
I didn't really understand the war

35:56.541 --> 35:58.750
until the night the Firebenders came.

36:00.833 --> 36:02.500
They destroyed everything in their path.

36:03.791 --> 36:04.750
Everything.

36:06.166 --> 36:07.083
Everyone.

36:10.416 --> 36:12.500
Afterwards, our father set out
with the other warriors

36:12.500 --> 36:13.916
to hunt down the Firebenders.

36:14.750 --> 36:18.000
That was three years ago,
and we haven't seen him since.

36:19.500 --> 36:22.750
He had left Sokka in charge
when he just turned 13.

36:23.541 --> 36:25.000
I guess he had to grow up fast.

36:26.833 --> 36:27.791
We all did.

36:30.625 --> 36:33.000
We're never really ready

36:34.333 --> 36:35.541
until we have to be.

36:45.166 --> 36:48.541
They were part of the Fire Nation's
first attacks on the Water Tribe.

36:49.291 --> 36:50.791
The Firebenders were ruthless.

36:51.666 --> 36:55.166
Since then, the Fire Nation
has conquered most of the world.

36:56.500 --> 36:58.583
But the Waterbenders
are still fighting back,

36:59.250 --> 37:00.416
especially in the North.

37:00.416 --> 37:02.416
And the Earth Kingdom
is still holding strong.

37:04.208 --> 37:05.208
We hope.

37:08.458 --> 37:10.458
I had friends in the Fire Nation.

37:11.583 --> 37:12.875
I used to visit them.

37:14.250 --> 37:16.125
No one visits other nations now.

37:17.125 --> 37:18.833
We're only friends with our own kind.

37:31.583 --> 37:34.291
Good. Your skills have never been sharper.

37:34.291 --> 37:37.291
I need to be at my best
when I face the world's ultimate warrior.

37:37.791 --> 37:40.041
They say Avatar Kyoshi took down
an entire squadron

37:40.041 --> 37:41.875
of Earth Kingdom soldiers single-handedly.

37:41.875 --> 37:44.125
Well, you've certainly prepared enough.

37:44.125 --> 37:47.333
Now, how about a nice cup of jasmine tea?

37:51.083 --> 37:54.666
Say we find the Avatar,
and you're able to defeat him,

37:54.666 --> 37:58.416
a mission
your father believed to be impossible.

37:58.416 --> 38:01.125
And so your return home may be...

38:02.875 --> 38:03.875
unexpected.

38:06.791 --> 38:07.750
You're wrong.

38:18.625 --> 38:19.791
No one comes here.

38:21.500 --> 38:23.916
It's quiet and hidden.

38:32.791 --> 38:34.291
You're a Waterbender!

38:35.458 --> 38:37.958
Barely. I'm trying to get better,

38:37.958 --> 38:40.708
but I'm the only Waterbender left
in the Southern Tribe.

38:41.291 --> 38:42.791
Sokka doesn't like it when I practice

38:42.791 --> 38:46.000
because he's worried
that the Fire Nation will find out and...

38:47.208 --> 38:48.166
And what?

38:49.708 --> 38:53.333
There's a reason I'm the only Waterbender
left in the village.

38:54.416 --> 38:56.041
They've killed all the others.

38:56.041 --> 38:58.083
Sokka just doesn't understand.

38:58.875 --> 39:02.291
I'm a warrior. I should be able
to do more for our people.

39:04.541 --> 39:08.291
The monks told me
bending is about energy and balance.

39:09.125 --> 39:13.250
By feeling the energy around you,
you can find balance.

39:13.250 --> 39:16.500
By finding balance,
you can feel the energy.

39:46.208 --> 39:47.125
Nice!

39:47.750 --> 39:49.500
I wasn't even really trying.

39:49.500 --> 39:52.666
That's good. You just have to let go.

39:58.416 --> 39:59.416
Katara?

40:08.958 --> 40:11.375
Sokka! Sokka, the Fire Nation. They're--

40:11.375 --> 40:13.791
I know. We spotted them.
Get to your posts now!

40:15.625 --> 40:17.208
- Sokka, the racks--
- Get them loaded.

40:23.708 --> 40:26.166
I don't understand. Why are they here?

40:26.666 --> 40:29.250
After all this time,
what could they possibly want?

40:29.916 --> 40:31.041
Him.

40:32.000 --> 40:35.416
He's more than the last Airbender.
Aren't you?

40:36.791 --> 40:39.083
You are the Avatar.

40:43.500 --> 40:44.375
Aang?

40:48.000 --> 40:49.500
I knew he was hiding something.

40:50.083 --> 40:54.041
When the world needed the Avatar the most,
he vanished because he's a coward.

40:54.041 --> 40:56.166
He ran, and people died.

40:56.166 --> 40:58.250
Sokka, they've landed.

41:00.125 --> 41:01.083
You need to go hide.

41:01.083 --> 41:03.750
- Sokka, I wanna--
- Katara, now.

41:06.958 --> 41:08.916
Come on. We need to get somewhere safe.

41:26.416 --> 41:27.791
I am Prince Zuko.

41:29.000 --> 41:31.000
Firstborn son of Fire Lord Ozai.

41:31.833 --> 41:33.833
We have no desire to take your homes.

41:34.500 --> 41:37.666
We merely seek someone
who does not belong here.

41:38.375 --> 41:41.041
Someone who is not one of you.

41:42.250 --> 41:43.666
Turn him over now,

41:44.708 --> 41:46.666
or I'll burn this place to the ground.

41:50.541 --> 41:53.041
- Where is he?
- Sokka, you can't give him to them--

41:53.041 --> 41:55.291
- He doesn't belong here.
- It's wrong. You know that!

41:55.291 --> 41:57.291
What I know
is Dad told me to protect the village.

41:57.291 --> 41:59.416
Yes, but remember what Mom told us too.

42:00.416 --> 42:03.041
She said that we have to protect those
who can't protect themselves.

42:03.041 --> 42:05.083
He's lost everything he knows.

42:05.625 --> 42:08.625
- Sokka, don't you see? He's the Avatar!
- And he lied to us about it!

42:09.666 --> 42:12.041
I know how hard
this responsibility has been for you,

42:13.041 --> 42:15.750
but there's more to being a leader
than just catching fish.

42:15.750 --> 42:18.000
You have to give people
something to live for.

42:18.833 --> 42:20.833
That's what the Avatar is. He's hope.

42:21.916 --> 42:24.875
And we need that
just as much as we need food and shelter.

42:25.875 --> 42:26.708
I know I do.

42:57.750 --> 42:58.916
I am Sokka.

42:59.791 --> 43:00.916
Son of Hakoda.

43:00.916 --> 43:01.916
Lord of, uh,

43:03.041 --> 43:04.333
Snow and Ice.

43:04.916 --> 43:07.208
On behalf
of the Water Tribe Village of Wolf Cove,

43:07.208 --> 43:10.125
I demand that you leave immediately!

43:10.833 --> 43:12.791
If this is the path you've chosen,

43:13.541 --> 43:14.583
then so be it.

43:15.458 --> 43:19.333
Let's settle this between us!
Leader to leader. You really need an army?

43:19.958 --> 43:22.333
I thought you Firebenders had some guts.

43:22.333 --> 43:25.708
Don't fall for it.
We overpower them. It's no contest.

43:25.708 --> 43:27.041
Well, where's the glory in that?

43:30.375 --> 43:31.416
I accept.

43:55.000 --> 43:56.583
Who needs an army now?

44:09.000 --> 44:10.041
Leave him alone!

44:22.833 --> 44:23.708
Can't be.

44:39.166 --> 44:40.583
Ah!

44:50.958 --> 44:53.541
Enough games.
Burn the whole place to the ground.

44:54.791 --> 44:56.083
No!

44:56.625 --> 44:58.958
I'll go with you. Just leave them alone.

45:00.916 --> 45:02.500
I'm the one you're looking for.

45:05.791 --> 45:07.458
- Get him.
- Wait!

45:09.916 --> 45:11.208
It's okay, Katara.

45:12.750 --> 45:14.625
No one has ever fought for me before.

45:17.333 --> 45:19.958
I think you're the bravest person
I've ever met.

45:53.000 --> 45:56.416
We have to do something.
Sokka, we have to help him. Sokka!

45:56.416 --> 45:57.666
Okay, listen up.

45:57.666 --> 46:00.625
Reinforce the braces on the gate,
and don't fall behind on drills.

46:00.625 --> 46:03.250
- I saw real sloppiness out there today.
- Drills?

46:03.250 --> 46:05.375
And don't let the younger ones
push you around.

46:05.375 --> 46:08.375
You gotta let 'em know who's in charge.
That's right.

46:09.791 --> 46:10.833
You're in charge.

46:12.041 --> 46:14.916
Now, let's go save that weird kid.

46:27.125 --> 46:31.958
There are many who never imagined
this day would ever come, myself included.

46:33.583 --> 46:35.125
Can I ask you something?

46:36.041 --> 46:37.375
- Uh...
- Forgive me.

46:37.958 --> 46:40.958
I'm Iroh, son of Fire Lord Azulon.

46:42.166 --> 46:43.125
And of course.

46:44.791 --> 46:47.166
Why did the Fire Nation start this war?

46:47.166 --> 46:48.083
Ah.

46:49.291 --> 46:51.750
Some people say it is within our nature

46:51.750 --> 46:55.166
to expand and consume like fire itself.

46:56.208 --> 46:59.208
Others believe
that true stability in this world

46:59.208 --> 47:01.250
can only happen under our rule,

47:01.833 --> 47:05.875
so the drive to conquer
is a drive for peace and unity.

47:05.875 --> 47:10.208
But peace comes from respecting life,
not killing and destroying.

47:10.208 --> 47:12.083
A noble sentiment, Avatar,

47:12.083 --> 47:14.833
but in the end, for most of us,

47:14.833 --> 47:17.500
it doesn't matter how this war started.

47:17.500 --> 47:19.583
It only matters how it can end.

47:20.375 --> 47:22.791
And the belief is that by capturing you,

47:23.375 --> 47:26.375
the Fire Nation
can finally bring that about.

47:27.541 --> 47:29.041
Is that what you believe?

47:32.125 --> 47:37.291
I must leave, but I look forward to
many more conversations with you, Avatar.

47:38.125 --> 47:41.958
In the meantime,
I'll have some jasmine tea sent to you.

47:41.958 --> 47:43.958
It's quite soothing.

48:15.041 --> 48:16.875
- It won't be easy to catch them.
- I know.

48:16.875 --> 48:20.166
Hopefully, we can find a swift current.
Maybe draft off their wake.

48:20.791 --> 48:21.958
Or

48:23.125 --> 48:24.666
we could go another way.

48:25.916 --> 48:27.291
You're not serious.

48:28.250 --> 48:32.083
Katara, no!
There's no way you're getting me on that...

49:03.208 --> 49:04.666
The Avatars.

49:25.250 --> 49:26.916
Yes, sir, right away.

49:45.041 --> 49:46.458
Stop!

49:47.583 --> 49:48.625
Stop him!

49:49.666 --> 49:51.541
Get him!

49:55.250 --> 49:56.958
Open fire, now!

50:09.541 --> 50:11.708
Ah!

50:36.208 --> 50:37.041
Hey, kid!

50:37.875 --> 50:39.000
Sokka!

50:46.208 --> 50:47.250
Ah!

51:36.583 --> 51:39.666
I can't believe
you guys came for me. Thank you.

51:39.666 --> 51:42.083
It's time we showed those flameheads
they can't step on us.

51:44.291 --> 51:48.333
The Firebenders aren't gonna give up.
They're gonna keep coming after you.

51:48.333 --> 51:50.000
Which means we can't go home.

51:51.166 --> 51:52.708
It would put everyone in danger.

51:56.791 --> 51:58.000
So where do we go?

53:23.416 --> 53:24.416
Gyatso.

53:33.541 --> 53:36.958
Now, this would be
a huge burden for anyone,

53:37.541 --> 53:39.625
<i>but you're not just anyone, Aang.</i>

53:40.833 --> 53:42.083
You're strong

53:42.916 --> 53:46.083
and kind and generous.

53:47.083 --> 53:48.208
<i>Remember that.</i>

53:50.500 --> 53:52.833
<i>Always remember who you are.</i>

54:05.291 --> 54:06.125
Aang?

54:11.791 --> 54:14.625
What's happening?
What is he doing?

54:19.375 --> 54:20.208
Aang!

54:20.208 --> 54:21.333
Come on!

54:30.458 --> 54:31.291
Aang!

54:37.166 --> 54:39.208
Aang!

54:39.208 --> 54:40.500
Stop this!

54:44.333 --> 54:45.291
Please!

54:50.833 --> 54:51.916
Aang!

54:54.625 --> 54:55.750
<i>Aang,</i>

54:57.500 --> 54:59.958
I can't imagine a better person

54:59.958 --> 55:03.083
to have been given this power.

55:07.666 --> 55:09.125
<i>You are my friend.</i>

55:11.041 --> 55:13.625
You will always be my friend.

56:16.833 --> 56:19.375
So not to be rude,
but what was that?

56:20.125 --> 56:21.250
I don't know.

56:22.583 --> 56:24.291
There's so much I don't know.

56:25.166 --> 56:27.958
The monks are gone, and I'm all alone.

56:29.333 --> 56:30.208
You know,

56:31.416 --> 56:33.041
the thing about losing everything

56:33.041 --> 56:35.833
is that that's when you learn
how strong you really are.

56:36.708 --> 56:38.041
It's when you learn to fight.

56:41.125 --> 56:44.000
They made
the ultimate sacrifice for me.

56:45.000 --> 56:47.208
I need to make sure
their deaths weren't in vain.

56:47.208 --> 56:49.416
I need to follow through
on what they wanted me to do.

56:49.416 --> 56:52.416
Complete my training
and master all the other bending skills

56:52.416 --> 56:54.541
so I can bring balance back to the world.

56:54.541 --> 56:55.708
Oh, is that all?

56:56.333 --> 57:00.041
This was my home, and now it's gone.

57:03.208 --> 57:04.875
<i>It's only after
we've lost something</i>

57:04.875 --> 57:07.333
<i>that we realize how much it means to us...</i>

57:12.583 --> 57:14.833
<i>and how we'd do anything to get it back.</i>

57:18.375 --> 57:19.333
<i>Anything.</i>

57:21.791 --> 57:25.708
I don't know where this will all lead,
and I don't know if I have what it takes,

57:26.791 --> 57:28.458
but the one thing I do know is

57:30.291 --> 57:31.416
I'm the Avatar,

57:32.083 --> 57:34.250
<i>and this is just the beginning.</i>
