1. Water.
Copy !req
2. Earth.
Copy !req
3. Fire.
Copy !req
4. Air.
Copy !req
5. Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.
Copy !req
6. Then everything changed
when the Fire Nation attacked.
Copy !req
7. Only the Avatar,
master of all four elements,
Copy !req
8. could stop them.
Copy !req
9. But when the world needed him most,
Copy !req
10. he vanished.
Copy !req
11. 100 years passed, and my brother and I
Copy !req
12. discovered the new Avatar,
an airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
13. And although his airbending
skills are great,
Copy !req
14. he has a lot to learn before
he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
15. Unh!
Copy !req
16. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
17. Um, aren't you forgetting the tarp?
Copy !req
18. Right. Got it.
Copy !req
19. Sokka, you're supposed to put the tarp
Copy !req
20. on top of the tent.
Copy !req
21. You know, so we don't get rained on?
Copy !req
22. Ordinarily, you'd be right,
Copy !req
23. but seeing how it's the dry season,
Copy !req
24. you're not.
Copy !req
25. Besides, that tarp makes
a pretty warm blanket.
Copy !req
26. But what if it does rain?
Copy !req
27. What if it doesn't?
Copy !req
28. Then I would have put
the tarp up for nothing.
Copy !req
29. Uh! You're infuriating.
Copy !req
30. Katara, why don't you worry about
gathering the firewood?
Copy !req
31. Because that kindling's
looking pretty sorry.
Copy !req
32. If you don't like my firewood―
Copy !req
33. Uh!
Copy !req
34. Fine by me! If you're not
gonna do your job―
Copy !req
35. Uh!
Copy !req
36. Okay, I got the grub
if you guys got the...
Copy !req
37. Hey, where's the campfire,
Copy !req
38. and what happened to the tent?
Copy !req
39. Why don't you ask
Miss Know-it-all, Queen of the twigs?
Copy !req
40. Oh, yeah? Well,
you're Mr. Lazy-bum, King of the...
Copy !req
41. Tents!
Copy !req
42. Okay. Listen, guys.
Copy !req
43. Harsh words won't solve problems.
Copy !req
44. Action will.
Copy !req
45. Why don't you just switch jobs?
Copy !req
46. - Sounds good.
- Whatever.
Copy !req
47. You see that?
Copy !req
48. Settling feuds and making peace...
Copy !req
49. All in a day's work for the Avatar.
Copy !req
50. Come on, Momo. That's fair.
Copy !req
51. Appa's got five stomachs.
Copy !req
52. There it is, guys, The Great Divide.
Copy !req
53. Wow. I could just stare at it forever.
Copy !req
54. Okay. I've seen enough.
Copy !req
55. How can you not be fascinated, Sokka?
Copy !req
56. This is the largest canyon
in the entire world.
Copy !req
57. Then I'm sure we'll be
able to see it very clearly
Copy !req
58. from the air while we fly away.
Copy !req
59. Hey, if you're looking
for the canyon guide,
Copy !req
60. I was here first.
Copy !req
61. Ooh. Canyon guide. Sounds informative.
Copy !req
62. Believe me, he's more
than a tour guide.
Copy !req
63. He's an earthbender,
Copy !req
64. and the only way
in and out of the canyon
Copy !req
65. is with his help.
Copy !req
66. And he's taking my tribe across next.
Copy !req
67. Calm down. We know you're next.
Copy !req
68. You wouldn't be calm if the
Fire Nation destroyed your home
Copy !req
69. and forced you to flee.
Copy !req
70. My whole tribe has to
walk thousands of miles
Copy !req
71. to the capital city of Ba Sing Se.
Copy !req
72. You're a refugee.
Copy !req
73. Huh. Tell me something I don't know.
Copy !req
74. Is that your tribe?
Copy !req
75. It most certainly is not.
Copy !req
76. That's the Zhang tribe,
Copy !req
77. a bunch of lowlife thieves.
Copy !req
78. They've been the enemies
Copy !req
79. of my tribe for a hundred years.
Copy !req
80. Hey, Zhangs!
Copy !req
81. I'm saving a spot for my tribe,
Copy !req
82. so don't even think of stealing it.
Copy !req
83. Where are the rest of the Gan Jin?
Copy !req
84. Still tidying up their campsite?
Copy !req
85. Yes, but they sent me
ahead of them to hold a spot.
Copy !req
86. I didn't know the canyon guide
took reservations.
Copy !req
87. Huh! Of course you didn't.
Copy !req
88. That's the ignorance I'd expect
Copy !req
89. from a messy Zhang,
Copy !req
90. so unorganized
and ill-prepared for a journey.
Copy !req
91. Uhh!
Copy !req
92. Sorry about the wait, youngsters.
Copy !req
93. Who's ready to cross this here canyon?
Copy !req
94. Uh, one of them, I think.
Copy !req
95. I was here first.
My party's on their way.
Copy !req
96. I can't guide people who aren't here.
Copy !req
97. Guess you guys will have
to make the trip tomorrow.
Copy !req
98. Wait! Here they come.
Copy !req
99. You're not seriously gonna cave in
Copy !req
100. to these spoiled Gan Jins.
Copy !req
101. I mean, we're refugees, too,
Copy !req
102. and we've got sick people
that need shelter.
Copy !req
103. I, uh, well...
Copy !req
104. We've got old people
who are weary from traveling.
Copy !req
105. Sick people get
priority over old people.
Copy !req
106. Maybe you Zhangs wouldn't
have so many sick people
Copy !req
107. if you weren't such slobs.
Copy !req
108. If you Gan Jins weren't so clean,
Copy !req
109. maybe you wouldn't live to be so old.
Copy !req
110. I could smell your stink...
Copy !req
111. Well, Aang, ready to put
Copy !req
112. your peacemaking skills to the test?
Copy !req
113. I don't know...
Copy !req
114. A fight over chores is one thing.
Copy !req
115. These people have been
feuding for a hundred years.
Copy !req
116. Everyone listen up!
Copy !req
117. This is the Avatar,
Copy !req
118. and if you give him a chance,
Copy !req
119. I'm sure he can come up
with a compromise
Copy !req
120. that will make everyone happy.
Copy !req
121. Uh, you could share the earthbender
and travel together?
Copy !req
122. Absolutely not. We'd rather
be taken by the Fire Nation
Copy !req
123. than travel with those
stinking thieves.
Copy !req
124. We wouldn't travel
with you pompous fools anyway.
Copy !req
125. All right, here's the deal!
Copy !req
126. You're all going down together,
Copy !req
127. and Appa here
will fly your sick and elderly across.
Copy !req
128. Does that seem fair?
Copy !req
129. Sorry, Appa. You'll have to
do this on your own.
Copy !req
130. Aang, this feuding tribe
stuff is serious business.
Copy !req
131. Are you sure it's a good idea
getting involved in this?
Copy !req
132. To tell the truth, I'm not sure,
Copy !req
133. but when have I ever been?
Copy !req
134. He's the avatar, Sokka.
Copy !req
135. Making peace
between people is his job.
Copy !req
136. His job's gonna make us cross this
whole thing on foot, isn't it?
Copy !req
137. Okay, now comes the bad news.
Copy !req
138. No food allowed in the canyon.
Copy !req
139. It attracts dangerous predators.
Copy !req
140. - No food? This is ridiculous.
Copy !req
141. Oh, you babies can go
a day without food.
Copy !req
142. Would you rather be hungry or dead?
Copy !req
143. Now, we're heading down in 10 minutes.
Copy !req
144. All food better be in your gut,
Copy !req
145. or in the garbage!
Copy !req
146. Appa's gonna take good care of you
till we get there.
Copy !req
147. See you on the other side, buddy.
Copy !req
148. Yip yip!
Copy !req
149. Huh!
Copy !req
150. Nice bending.
Copy !req
151. The job's much more than bending, kid.
Copy !req
152. Folks want information.
Copy !req
153. Many of you are probably wondering
Copy !req
154. how canyons are formed.
Copy !req
155. Experts tell us
this canyon was most likely
Copy !req
156. carved into the ground
by earth spirits,
Copy !req
157. who were angry at local farmers
Copy !req
158. for not offering them
a proper sacrifice.
Copy !req
159. Uh! Ha ha!
Guess the spirits are still angry.
Copy !req
160. Hope you all brought sacrifices.
Copy !req
161. Okay. Everyone
stand clear of the wall.
Copy !req
162. Uh! Uh!
Copy !req
163. Why did you do that?
Copy !req
164. These people are fleeing
the Fire Nation, aren't they?
Copy !req
165. I've got to make sure
we can't be followed.
Copy !req
166. We'll be safe now.
Copy !req
167. Uh!
Copy !req
168. Ah!
Copy !req
169. We've got to help him! Uh!
Copy !req
170. Aah!
Copy !req
171. Okay, now we've got to help me!
Copy !req
172. Aah!
Copy !req
173. Hah!
Copy !req
174. What was that?
Copy !req
175. Canyon crawler.
Copy !req
176. Oh... And there's sure to be more.
Copy !req
177. Your arms... They're broken.
Copy !req
178. Without my arms, I got no bending.
Copy !req
179. In other words...
Copy !req
180. We're trapped in this canyon.
Copy !req
181. I thought the whole point
of ditching our food
Copy !req
182. was so we wouldn't have to deal
with things like canyon crawlers.
Copy !req
183. It's the Zhangs.
Copy !req
184. They took food down here
even after the guide told them not to.
Copy !req
185. What?
Copy !req
186. If there's anyone who
can't go without food for a day,
Copy !req
187. it's these pampered Gan Jins.
Copy !req
188. I hope you're happy.
Copy !req
189. We're stuck in this canyon
with no way out.
Copy !req
190. Why don't you thank yourself,
food-hider?
Copy !req
191. Look, sticking together
is the only way to―
Copy !req
192. I'm not walking another step
with the likes of them.
Copy !req
193. Now there's something we can agree on.
Copy !req
194. Any ideas?
Copy !req
195. No bending. We need to get
out of this canyon.
Copy !req
196. I won't die down here.
Copy !req
197. I won't become part of the food chain.
Copy !req
198. See? We're going to become
part of the food chain
Copy !req
199. because of you.
Copy !req
200. Sure. Unjustly blame
the Zhangs, like you always do.
Copy !req
201. Gladly.
Copy !req
202. Enough!
Copy !req
203. I thought I could
help you guys get along,
Copy !req
204. but I guess that's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
205. We should split up―
Copy !req
206. Gan Jins on this side
and Zhangs on that side.
Copy !req
207. We'll travel in two separate lines.
Copy !req
208. Sokka, you go with the Zhangs,
Copy !req
209. and, Katara, you go with the Gan Jins.
Copy !req
210. See if you can find out why
they hate each other so much.
Copy !req
211. So, you guys aren't gonna
put up your tarps?
Copy !req
212. What for? It's the dry season.
Copy !req
213. Exactly!
Copy !req
214. Besides, we like to use
the tarp as a blanket.
Copy !req
215. Finally someone gets it.
Copy !req
216. Do you really think it'll rain?
Copy !req
217. No, but you can never
be too careful, right?
Copy !req
218. Would you care for some bread, Katara?
Copy !req
219. So it was you guys who had food.
Copy !req
220. Oh, come now.
Copy !req
221. Do you really think
that tribe of thieves
Copy !req
222. isn't smuggling food?
Copy !req
223. Why should my people go hungry
Copy !req
224. when the sneaky Zhangs
are stuffing their faces?
Copy !req
225. Well, I guess it's okay
if everyone's doing it.
Copy !req
226. So, why does your tribe
hate the Zhangs so much?
Copy !req
227. You seem like a smart girl, Katara.
Copy !req
228. I bet you would enjoy
hearing some history.
Copy !req
229. The patriarch
of our tribe, Jin Wei,
Copy !req
230. was an earthbender warrior
Copy !req
231. who was assigned an important duty:
Copy !req
232. Transporting our sacred orb
Copy !req
233. From the great eastern gate
to the great western gate.
Copy !req
234. Taking the orb
from the east to the west
Copy !req
235. represents the sun's
rising and setting.
Copy !req
236. It was our tribe's
ancient redemption ritual.
Copy !req
237. But as he approached the gate,
Copy !req
238. Jin Wei was attacked
by one of the Zhangs―
Copy !req
239. A vermin named Wei Jin
Copy !req
240. who looked at the orb with envy.
Copy !req
241. That coward Wei Jin
knocked Jin Wei to the ground
Copy !req
242. and stole our sacred orb.
Copy !req
243. Our people have never forgotten.
Copy !req
244. You can never trust a Zhang.
Copy !req
245. Care for some meat?
Copy !req
246. Would I?
Copy !req
247. I know what you must be thinking.
Copy !req
248. We're horrible for
endangering everybody
Copy !req
249. by bringing food down here.
Copy !req
250. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
251. The Gan Jins think so badly of us,
Copy !req
252. they probably assumed
we brought food in
Copy !req
253. and decided to bring
food in themselves.
Copy !req
254. That's why we brought food in.
Copy !req
255. Mmm.
Copy !req
256. Our conflict with the Gan Jin
Copy !req
257. goes back over 100 years.
Copy !req
258. Our forefather, Wei Jin,
was leaving the western gate
Copy !req
259. of our village when he saw
a figure in the distance.
Copy !req
260. It was a man of the Gan Jin tribe,
Jin Wei,
Copy !req
261. collapsed on the ground.
Copy !req
262. Noble Wei Jin stopped to help him.
Copy !req
263. Jin Wei was transporting a sacred orb,
Copy !req
264. a very powerful relic used in
his tribe's redemption ritual.
Copy !req
265. Wei Jin tried to tend
to the man's wounds,
Copy !req
266. but Jin Wei insisted the orb
was more important
Copy !req
267. and asked him to take it
back to his tribe.
Copy !req
268. Kind Wei Jin promised to send
help for the man
Copy !req
269. as soon as he could.
Copy !req
270. But as Wei Jin crossed the border
Copy !req
271. to return the orb
into Gan Jin territory,
Copy !req
272. he was arrested.
Copy !req
273. Instead of thanking him
for his kind and selfless deed,
Copy !req
274. they sentenced him
to 20 long years in prison.
Copy !req
275. We Zhangs will never forget
that injustice.
Copy !req
276. That's just terrible.
Copy !req
277. Are you gonna finish that?
Copy !req
278. Sure would be nice
Copy !req
279. to be around one of those campfires.
Copy !req
280. Telling stories and laughing.
Copy !req
281. It's okay, Momo.
We'll be out of here soon enough,
Copy !req
282. and then we can eat our weight
in litchi nuts.
Copy !req
283. Nah. I'll wait for the litchi nuts.
Copy !req
284. It's lonely,
isn't it, being impartial?
Copy !req
285. I wish I could help
these people get along,
Copy !req
286. but it just seems impossible.
Copy !req
287. Anyhow, I guess our biggest problem
Copy !req
288. Is getting out of here.
Copy !req
289. I'm not so sure the two problems
are unrelated.
Copy !req
290. All clear.
We're almost to the other side.
Copy !req
291. Katara, Sokka,
will these people cooperate
Copy !req
292. long enough to get out of the canyon?
Copy !req
293. I don't think so, Aang.
Copy !req
294. The Zhangs really
wronged the Gan Jins.
Copy !req
295. They ambushed Jin Wei
and stole the sacred orb.
Copy !req
296. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
297. Yeah, Katara, what
are you talking about?
Copy !req
298. Wei Jin didn't steal the orb.
Copy !req
299. He was returning it
to their village gate
Copy !req
300. and was wrongfully
punished by the Gan Jin.
Copy !req
301. Not punished enough, if you ask me.
Copy !req
302. Okay, okay. I get it.
Now I need your help.
Copy !req
303. Let's get everyone together
at the base of the canyon wall.
Copy !req
304. Please, everyone.
As soon as we get out of here,
Copy !req
305. we can eat and then
go our separate ways.
Copy !req
306. But I need you all
to put your heads together
Copy !req
307. and figure out a way up this cliff.
Copy !req
308. Maybe the Zhang can climb the wall
Copy !req
309. With their long,
disgusting fingernails.
Copy !req
310. Oh, sorry.
I forgot that to the Gan Jin,
Copy !req
311. unclipped fingernails is a crime
punishable by 20 years in jail.
Copy !req
312. Why, you dirty thief.
Copy !req
313. You pompous fool.
Copy !req
314. Guys, focus!
Copy !req
315. How many times do I have to say it?
Copy !req
316. Harsh words won't solve problems.
Copy !req
317. Action will!
Copy !req
318. Perhaps the Avatar is right.
Copy !req
319. Yes. Perhaps he is.
Copy !req
320. Harsh words will never
solve our problems.
Copy !req
321. Action will.
Copy !req
322. - Huh!
- Huh!
Copy !req
323. Aah!
Copy !req
324. To the death, and let this
be the end of this rivalry.
Copy !req
325. You know, I take it back.
Copy !req
326. Harsh words aren't so bad.
Copy !req
327. Huh?
Copy !req
328. Hyah!
Copy !req
329. Is that food?
Copy !req
330. Everyone smuggled food down here?
Copy !req
331. Unbelievable!
Copy !req
332. You guys put our lives in danger
Copy !req
333. because you couldn't go
without a snack for a day?
Copy !req
334. You are all awful!
Copy !req
335. So hungry...
Copy !req
336. Is that egg custard in that tart?
Copy !req
337. Oh, no.
That's a lot of canyon crawlers.
Copy !req
338. We barely survived one.
Copy !req
339. They're coming back for me.
Copy !req
340. They've had a taste,
and they're coming back for me.
Copy !req
341. Sokka, wait.
Copy !req
342. I don't care about the stupid feud.
Copy !req
343. I just want us to get
out of here alive.
Copy !req
344. Me, too. I only took their side
because they fed me.
Copy !req
345. Hyah!
Copy !req
346. Hyah!
Copy !req
347. Aah!
Copy !req
348. Aah!
Copy !req
349. Everybody, watch me and do what I do!
Copy !req
350. Now follow me.
Copy !req
351. We're riding out of this hole.
Copy !req
352. Everyone get off!
Copy !req
353. We made it!
Copy !req
354. Uh!
Copy !req
355. Huh!
Copy !req
356. I never thought a Gan Jin
could get his hands dirty like that.
Copy !req
357. And I never knew you Zhangs
were so reliable in a pinch.
Copy !req
358. Perhaps we're not
so different after all.
Copy !req
359. Too bad we can't rewrite history.
Copy !req
360. You thieves stole our sacred orb
from Jin Wei.
Copy !req
361. You tyrants unjustly imprisoned
Wei Jin for 20 long years.
Copy !req
362. Ugh. Wait a second...
Copy !req
363. Jin Wei? Wei Jin? I know those guys.
Copy !req
364. Yes, yes.
We're all aware of the story.
Copy !req
365. No, I mean I really knew them.
Copy !req
366. I might not look it,
but I'm 112 years old.
Copy !req
367. I was there 100 years ago
Copy !req
368. on the day you're talking about.
Copy !req
369. There seems to be a lot of confusion
about what happened.
Copy !req
370. First of all, Jin Wei
and Wei Jin weren't enemies.
Copy !req
371. They were brothers. Twins, in fact.
Copy !req
372. And they were eight,
and most importantly,
Copy !req
373. they were just playing a game.
Copy !req
374. - Ahh!
- Ahh!
Copy !req
375. The sacred orb from the legend―
Copy !req
376. That was the ball.
Copy !req
377. And the eastern and western gates
Copy !req
378. were the goal posts.
Copy !req
379. Jin Wei had the ball
and was running toward the goal
Copy !req
380. when he fell and fumbled it.
Copy !req
381. Wei Jin didn't steal the ball.
Copy !req
382. He picked it up and started
running it back
Copy !req
383. toward the other goal,
but he stepped out of bounds.
Copy !req
384. So the official put him
in the penalty box―
Copy !req
385. Not for 20 long years
but for two short minutes.
Copy !req
386. Hee hee hee!
Copy !req
387. There was no stealing
and no putting anyone in prison...
Copy !req
388. Just a game.
Copy !req
389. You're saying the sacred orb
was actually a sacred ball?
Copy !req
390. Nope, just a regular ball.
Copy !req
391. What about our tribe's
redemption ritual?
Copy !req
392. That's what the game
was called, Redemption.
Copy !req
393. As soon as someone got
the ball from one goal to the other,
Copy !req
394. everyone would yell, "Redemption!"
Copy !req
395. Don't get me wrong...
Wei Jin was kind of a slob,
Copy !req
396. and Jin Wei was a little stuffy.
Copy !req
397. That much is true.
Copy !req
398. But they respected
each other's differences
Copy !req
399. enough to share
the same playing field.
Copy !req
400. I suppose it's time
we forget the past.
Copy !req
401. And look to the future.
Copy !req
402. Good to see you, boy.
Did you miss me?
Copy !req
403. I cannot thank you enough, Avatar.
Copy !req
404. Well, you know. I try.
Copy !req
405. Oh!
Copy !req
406. Let us travel
to the Earth Kingdom capital
Copy !req
407. as one tribe.
Copy !req
408. I'm going, too!
Copy !req
409. I'm sick of this place.
Copy !req
410. That's some luck
you knew Jin Wei and Wei Jin.
Copy !req
411. You could call it luck,
Copy !req
412. or you could call it lying.
Copy !req
413. - What?
- I made the whole thing up.
Copy !req
414. You did not.
Copy !req
415. That is so wrong.
Copy !req
416. Now, where's that custard tart?
Copy !req
417. I'm starving!
