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