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,
he vanished.
Copy !req
10. 100 years passed, and my brother and I
discovered the new Avatar,
Copy !req
11. an airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
12. And although his
airbending skills are great,
Copy !req
13. he has a lot to learn
before he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
14. Unh!
Copy !req
15. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
16. We need you, Aang.
Copy !req
17. I need you, too.
Copy !req
18. Be careful, guys!
Copy !req
19. Guys?
Copy !req
20. Gyatso?
Copy !req
21. Why did you disappear?
Copy !req
22. I didn't mean to.
Copy !req
23. We need you, Aang.
Copy !req
24. We need you, Aang.
We need you.
Copy !req
25. We need you, Aang. We need you.
Copy !req
26. Huh! What's going on?
Copy !req
27. Did we get captured again?
Copy !req
28. It's nothing. I just had a bad dream.
Copy !req
29. Go back to sleep.
Copy !req
30. You don't have to tell me twice.
Copy !req
31. Are you all right, Aang?
Copy !req
32. I'm okay.
Copy !req
33. You seem to be having
a lot of nightmares lately.
Copy !req
34. You want to tell me about it?
Copy !req
35. I think I just need some rest.
Copy !req
36. You guys want to hear about my dream?
Copy !req
37. That's okay. I didn't want
to talk about it anyway.
Copy !req
38. Look at those clear skies, buddy.
Copy !req
39. Should be some smooth flying.
Copy !req
40. Well, we'd better
smoothly fly ourselves to a market,
Copy !req
41. because we're out of food.
Copy !req
42. Guys, wait. This was in my dream.
Copy !req
43. We shouldn't go to the market.
Copy !req
44. What happened in your dream?
Copy !req
45. Food eats people!
Copy !req
46. Also, Momo could talk.
Copy !req
47. You said some very unkind things.
Copy !req
48. There is a storm coming.
Copy !req
49. A big one.
Copy !req
50. You're out of your mind, uncle.
Copy !req
51. The weather is perfect.
There's not a cloud in sight.
Copy !req
52. A storm is approaching from the north.
Copy !req
53. I suggest we alter our course
and head southwest.
Copy !req
54. We know the Avatar
is traveling northward,
Copy !req
55. so we will do the same.
Copy !req
56. Prince Zuko,
consider the safety of the crew.
Copy !req
57. The safety of the crew doesn't matter.
Copy !req
58. Finding the Avatar
is far more important
Copy !req
59. than any individual's safety.
Copy !req
60. He doesn't mean that.
He's just all worked up.
Copy !req
61. It's good.
It's perfect, I'm telling you.
Copy !req
62. I don't know if I like
the sound of that swishing.
Copy !req
63. Swishing means it's ripe.
Copy !req
64. It's the ripe juices
swishing around, huh?
Copy !req
65. I think it's true, Katara.
Copy !req
66. Swishing means it's ripe.
Copy !req
67. I just realized
we're out of money, anyway.
Copy !req
68. Aww...
Copy !req
69. Out of food and out of money.
Copy !req
70. Now what are we supposed to do?
Copy !req
71. You could get a job, smart guy.
Copy !req
72. We shouldn't go out there.
Copy !req
73. Please! The fish can wait.
Copy !req
74. There's going to be a terrible storm.
Copy !req
75. Aw, you're crazy. It's a nice day.
Copy !req
76. No clouds, no wind, no nothing,
Copy !req
77. so quit your nagging, woman.
Copy !req
78. Maybe we should find some shelter.
Copy !req
79. Are you kidding? Shelter from what?
Copy !req
80. My joints say
there's going to be a storm,
Copy !req
81. a bad one.
Copy !req
82. Well, it's your joints
against my brain.
Copy !req
83. Then I hope your brain can find
someone else to haul that fish,
Copy !req
84. 'cause I ain't coming!
Copy !req
85. Then I'll find a new fish hauler,
Copy !req
86. and pay him double what you get.
Copy !req
87. How do you like that?
Copy !req
88. I'll go.
Copy !req
89. You're hired.
Copy !req
90. What? You said get a job.
Copy !req
91. And he's paying double.
Copy !req
92. Double? Who told you that nonsense?
Copy !req
93. Oh. Looks like your uncle was right
about the storm after all.
Copy !req
94. Lucky guess.
Copy !req
95. Lieutenant,
you'd better learn some respect,
Copy !req
96. or I will teach it to you.
Copy !req
97. What do you know about respect?
Copy !req
98. The way you talk
to everyone around here,
Copy !req
99. from your hard-working crew
to your esteemed uncle,
Copy !req
100. shows you know nothing about respect.
Copy !req
101. You don't care about
anyone but yourself.
Copy !req
102. Then again, what should I expect
from a spoiled prince?
Copy !req
103. Easy now.
Copy !req
104. Enough!
Copy !req
105. We're all a bit tired
from being at sea so long.
Copy !req
106. I'm sure after a bowl of noodles,
Copy !req
107. everyone will feel much better.
Copy !req
108. I don't need your help
keeping order on my ship.
Copy !req
109. Sokka, maybe this isn't
such a good idea.
Copy !req
110. Look at the sky.
Copy !req
111. I said I was gonna do this job.
Copy !req
112. I can't back out just because
of some bad weather.
Copy !req
113. The boy with the tattoos
has some sense.
Copy !req
114. You should listen to him.
Copy !req
115. Boy with tattoos?
Copy !req
116. Airbender tattoos.
Copy !req
117. Well, I'll be a hog monkey's uncle.
Copy !req
118. You're the Avatar, ain't you?
Copy !req
119. That's right.
Copy !req
120. Well, don't be so smiley about it.
Copy !req
121. The Avatar disappeared
for a hundred years!
Copy !req
122. You turned your back on the world.
Copy !req
123. Don't yell at him!
Copy !req
124. Aang would never
turn his back on anyone.
Copy !req
125. Oh, he wouldn't, huh?
Copy !req
126. Then I guess I must have imagined
Copy !req
127. the last hundred years
of war and suffering.
Copy !req
128. Aang is the bravest person I know.
Copy !req
129. He has done nothing but help people,
Copy !req
130. and save lives since I met him.
Copy !req
131. It's not his fault he disappeared,
right, Aang?
Copy !req
132. Aang, what's wrong?
Copy !req
133. That's right! Keep flying!
Copy !req
134. You're a horrible old man!
Copy !req
135. Ehh!
Copy !req
136. Appa, yip yip!
Copy !req
137. Uhh!
Copy !req
138. Hey! They left
without saying good-bye.
Copy !req
139. Your friends ain't too polite,
are they?
Copy !req
140. I know. This one time, I was―
Copy !req
141. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get below deck.
Copy !req
142. I'm sorry for running away.
Copy !req
143. It's okay. That fisherman
was way out of line.
Copy !req
144. Actually, he wasn't.
Copy !req
145. What do you mean?
Copy !req
146. I don't want to talk about it.
Copy !req
147. It has to do with your dream,
doesn't it?
Copy !req
148. Talk to me.
Copy !req
149. Well, it's kind of a long story.
Copy !req
150. I'm gonna try to get
a little fire going.
Copy !req
151. I'll never forget the day
the monks told me I was the Avatar.
Copy !req
152. I was playing with some other kids
just outside the south wall.
Copy !req
153. I was trying to teach them
how to do the air scooter.
Copy !req
154. First you form a ball.
Then you've got to get on quick.
Copy !req
155. Ha ha ha!
Copy !req
156. Yeah! Ha ha ha!
Copy !req
157. Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
Copy !req
158. Okay, here goes.
Copy !req
159. Quick. Get on.
Copy !req
160. Whoa. Whoa...
Copy !req
161. Uhh!
Copy !req
162. You kind of have to balance on it
like it's a top.
Copy !req
163. Man, that's hard.
Copy !req
164. Where did you learn that trick, Aang?
Copy !req
165. I made it up.
Copy !req
166. Wow!
Copy !req
167. Aang, come with us.
Copy !req
168. We need to speak with you.
Copy !req
169. How do you know it's me?
Copy !req
170. We have known you were
the Avatar for some time.
Copy !req
171. Do you remember these?
Copy !req
172. Those were some of my favorite toys
when I was little.
Copy !req
173. You chose them
from among thousands of toys, Aang.
Copy !req
174. The toys you picked
were the four Avatar relics.
Copy !req
175. These items belonged to Avatars past.
Copy !req
176. Your own past lives.
Copy !req
177. I just chose them
because they seemed fun.
Copy !req
178. You chose them
because they were familiar.
Copy !req
179. Normally, we would have told you
of your identity when you turned 16.
Copy !req
180. But there are troubling signs.
Copy !req
181. Storm clouds are gathering.
Copy !req
182. I fear that war may be upon us,
young Avatar.
Copy !req
183. We need you, Aang.
Copy !req
184. I'm sick of taking his orders,
Copy !req
185. and I'm tired of chasing his Avatar.
Copy !req
186. I mean, who does Zuko think he is?
Copy !req
187. Do you really want to know?
Copy !req
188. General Iroh, we were just―
Copy !req
189. It's okay.
Copy !req
190. May I join you?
Copy !req
191. Of course, sir.
Copy !req
192. Try to understand,
Copy !req
193. my nephew is a complicated young man.
Copy !req
194. He has been through much.
Copy !req
195. Let me in!
Copy !req
196. Prince Zuko, what's wrong?
Copy !req
197. I want to go into the war chamber,
Copy !req
198. but the guard won't let me pass.
Copy !req
199. You're not missing anything. Trust me.
Copy !req
200. These meetings are dreadfully boring.
Copy !req
201. If I'm going to rule
this nation one day,
Copy !req
202. don't you think I need
to start learning as much as I can?
Copy !req
203. Very well,
but you must promise not to speak.
Copy !req
204. These old folks are a bit sensitive,
you know?
Copy !req
205. Thank you, uncle.
Copy !req
206. The Earth Kingdom defenses
are concentrated here,
Copy !req
207. a dangerous battalion
of their strongest earthbenders,
Copy !req
208. and fiercest warriors.
Copy !req
209. So, I am recommending
the 41st division.
Copy !req
210. But the 41st is entirely new recruits.
Copy !req
211. How do you expect them to defeat
a powerful Earth Kingdom battalion?
Copy !req
212. I don't.
Copy !req
213. They'll be used as a distraction
Copy !req
214. while we mount an attack
from the rear.
Copy !req
215. What better to use as bait
than fresh meat?
Copy !req
216. You can't sacrifice
an entire division like that!
Copy !req
217. Those soldiers love
and defend our nation.
Copy !req
218. How can you betray them?
Copy !req
219. Zuko was right, you see?
Copy !req
220. But it was not his place to speak out.
Copy !req
221. And there were dire consequences.
Copy !req
222. So you were upset
that you were the Avatar?
Copy !req
223. Why wouldn't you be excited about it?
Copy !req
224. Well, I didn't know
how to feel about it.
Copy !req
225. All I knew was that after I found out,
Copy !req
226. everything began changing.
Copy !req
227. Hey, not bad.
Copy !req
228. You guys have been practicing.
Copy !req
229. Not only that,
Copy !req
230. we made up a game you can play
with the air scooters.
Copy !req
231. Great!
Copy !req
232. What's going on?
Copy !req
233. Now that you're the Avatar,
Copy !req
234. it's kind of an unfair advantage
Copy !req
235. for whichever team you're on.
Copy !req
236. But I'm still the same.
Copy !req
237. Nothing has changed.
Copy !req
238. So, what? I can't play?
Copy !req
239. That's the only fair way.
Copy !req
240. Oh, okay...
Copy !req
241. Sorry, Aang.
Copy !req
242. Okay, now, who wants
to have Jinju on their team?
Copy !req
243. Very interesting move, young one.
Copy !req
244. What do you mean?
Copy !req
245. Hey! Ha ha ha!
Copy !req
246. Ha ha ha!
Copy !req
247. You're playing games with him?
Copy !req
248. The Avatar should be training.
Copy !req
249. Aang has already
trained enough for today.
Copy !req
250. Time is short. Come with me.
Copy !req
251. I must test you
on some high-level techniques.
Copy !req
252. No. As long as I am his guardian,
Copy !req
253. I will decide when he trains
Copy !req
254. And when he gets his butt kicked
at Pai Sho.
Copy !req
255. Hmmph!
Copy !req
256. After Zuko's outburst in the meeting,
Copy !req
257. the Fire Lord became
very angry with him.
Copy !req
258. He said that Prince Zuko's
challenge of the general
Copy !req
259. was an act of complete disrespect.
Copy !req
260. And there was only one way
to resolve this.
Copy !req
261. Agni Kai. A fire duel.
Copy !req
262. That's right.
Copy !req
263. Zuko looked upon
the old general he had insulted,
Copy !req
264. and declared that he was not afraid.
Copy !req
265. But Zuko misunderstood.
Copy !req
266. When he turned to face his opponent,
Copy !req
267. he was surprised to see
it was not the general.
Copy !req
268. Zuko had spoken out
against the general's plan,
Copy !req
269. but by doing so
in the Fire Lord's war room,
Copy !req
270. it was the Fire Lord
whom he had disrespected.
Copy !req
271. Zuko would have to duel
his own father.
Copy !req
272. Then, just when
I was starting to feel better,
Copy !req
273. something worse happened.
Copy !req
274. Aang needs to have freedom and fun.
Copy !req
275. He needs to grow up as a normal boy.
Copy !req
276. Hmm. You cannot keep protecting him
from his destiny.
Copy !req
277. Gyatso, I know you mean well,
Copy !req
278. but you are letting your affection
for the boy cloud your judgment.
Copy !req
279. All I want is what is best for him.
Copy !req
280. But what we need
is what's best for the world.
Copy !req
281. You and Aang must be separated.
Copy !req
282. The Avatar will be sent away
to the Eastern Air Temple
Copy !req
283. to complete his training.
Copy !req
284. That's awful, Aang.
Copy !req
285. I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
286. How could they do that to me?
Copy !req
287. They wanted to take away
everything I knew,
Copy !req
288. and everyone I loved!
Copy !req
289. Whoa! Hot cinders.
Copy !req
290. I'm sorry I got so mad.
Copy !req
291. You have a right to be angry
Copy !req
292. after the monks
sent you away like that.
Copy !req
293. Well, that's not exactly
what happened.
Copy !req
294. I was afraid and confused.
Copy !req
295. I didn't know what to do.
Copy !req
296. Aang?
Copy !req
297. I'm not going to let them
take you away from me.
Copy !req
298. Aang?
Copy !req
299. I never saw Gyatso again.
Copy !req
300. Next thing I knew,
I was waking up in your arms
Copy !req
301. after you found me in the iceberg.
Copy !req
302. You ran away.
Copy !req
303. And then the Fire Nation
attacked our temple.
Copy !req
304. My people needed me,
and I wasn't there to help.
Copy !req
305. You don't know what would have―
Copy !req
306. The world needed me,
and I wasn't there to help.
Copy !req
307. - Aang...
- The fisherman was right.
Copy !req
308. I did turn my back on the world.
Copy !req
309. You're being too hard on yourself.
Copy !req
310. Even if you did run away,
Copy !req
311. I think it was meant to be.
Copy !req
312. If you had stayed,
you would have been killed
Copy !req
313. along with all the other airbenders.
Copy !req
314. You don't know that.
Copy !req
315. I know it's meant to be this way.
Copy !req
316. The world needs you now.
Copy !req
317. You give people hope.
Copy !req
318. When Prince Zuko saw
that it was his father
Copy !req
319. who had come to duel him,
Copy !req
320. he begged for mercy.
Copy !req
321. Please, father,
Copy !req
322. I only had the Fire Nation's
best interests at heart.
Copy !req
323. I'm sorry I spoke out of turn.
Copy !req
324. You will fight for your honor.
Copy !req
325. I meant you no disrespect.
Copy !req
326. I am your loyal son.
Copy !req
327. Rise and fight, Prince Zuko.
Copy !req
328. I won't fight you.
Copy !req
329. You will learn respect,
Copy !req
330. and suffering will be your teacher.
Copy !req
331. I looked away.
Copy !req
332. I always thought that Prince Zuko
was in a training accident.
Copy !req
333. It was no accident.
Copy !req
334. After the duel,
Copy !req
335. the Fire Lord said
that by refusing to fight,
Copy !req
336. Zuko had shown shameful weakness.
Copy !req
337. As punishment, he was banished,
Copy !req
338. and sent to capture the Avatar.
Copy !req
339. Only then could he return
with his honor.
Copy !req
340. So that's why he's so obsessed.
Copy !req
341. Capturing the Avatar
is the only chance he has
Copy !req
342. of things returning to normal.
Copy !req
343. Things will never return to normal,
Copy !req
344. but the important thing is,
Copy !req
345. the Avatar gives Zuko hope.
Copy !req
346. Help! Oh, please, help!
Copy !req
347. It's okay. You're safe.
Copy !req
348. But my husband isn't.
Copy !req
349. What do you mean? Where's Sokka?
Copy !req
350. They haven't returned.
Copy !req
351. They should have been back by now.
Copy !req
352. And this storm is becoming a typhoon.
Copy !req
353. They're caught out at sea!
Copy !req
354. I'm going to find them.
Copy !req
355. I'm going with you.
Copy !req
356. I'm staying here.
Copy !req
357. We'll be back soon. I promise.
Copy !req
358. Where were we hit?
Copy !req
359. I don't know.
Copy !req
360. Look!
Copy !req
361. The helmsman!
Copy !req
362. Aah!
Copy !req
363. Where are they?
Copy !req
364. Come on, Appa!
Copy !req
365. The boat! There!
Copy !req
366. The Avatar!
Copy !req
367. What do you want to do, sir?
Copy !req
368. Let him go.
Copy !req
369. We need to get this ship to safety.
Copy !req
370. Then we must head directly
into the eye of the storm.
Copy !req
371. I'm too young to die!
Copy !req
372. I'm not, but I still don't want to!
Copy !req
373. Hang on to the rope!
Copy !req
374. Whoa! Whoa!
Copy !req
375. Uncle, I am sorry.
Copy !req
376. Your apology is accepted.
Copy !req
377. Oh! You're alive!
Copy !req
378. You owe this boy an apology.
Copy !req
379. He doesn't have to apologize.
Copy !req
380. What if, instead of an apology,
Copy !req
381. I give him a free fish,
and we call it even?
Copy !req
382. Actually, I don't eat meat.
Copy !req
383. Fish ain't meat.
Copy !req
384. Seriously, you're still gonna pay me,
right?
Copy !req
385. Aah!
Copy !req
386. Katara, I think you were right before.
Copy !req
387. I'm done dwelling on the past.
Copy !req
388. Really?
Copy !req
389. I can't make guesses about
how things would have turned out
Copy !req
390. If I hadn't run away.
Copy !req
391. I'm here now, and I'm going
to make the most of it.
Copy !req
392. I don't think you're gonna have
those nightmares anymore.
Copy !req
393. If you weren't here now...
Copy !req
394. Well, I guess, I wouldn't be either.
Copy !req
395. Thank you for saving my life, Avatar.
Copy !req
396. Do you hear that?
Copy !req
397. It stopped raining.
Copy !req
398. Uh! Appa!
Copy !req
