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 discovered the new Avatar,
Copy !req
12. 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. Oof.
Copy !req
16. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
17. This should give us a good idea
of what's around here.
Copy !req
18. See if you can find a menu.
Copy !req
19. I'm starving.
Copy !req
20. I bet we'll find something
to eat here...
Copy !req
21. The Fire Days Festival.
Copy !req
22. Fire Nation cultural exhibits,
Copy !req
23. jugglers, benders, magicians...
Copy !req
24. This would be a great place for me
to study some real firebenders.
Copy !req
25. You might want to rethink that.
Copy !req
26. Look at this.
Copy !req
27. Hey, a poster of me!
Copy !req
28. A wanted poster.
Copy !req
29. This is bad.
Copy !req
30. I think we better keep moving.
Copy !req
31. I have to learn firebending
at some point,
Copy !req
32. and this could be my only chance
to watch some masters up close.
Copy !req
33. I guess we could go check it out.
Copy !req
34. What?
Copy !req
35. You want to walk into
a Fire Nation town
Copy !req
36. when they're all fired up
with all their, you know, fire?
Copy !req
37. We'll wear disguises.
Copy !req
38. And if it looks like trouble,
we'll leave.
Copy !req
39. Yeah.
Copy !req
40. Because we always leave
before we get into trouble.
Copy !req
41. You guys stay out of sight here
while we go to the festival.
Copy !req
42. Ready disguises.
Copy !req
43. It's like you're a whole
different person.
Copy !req
44. Let's go!
Copy !req
45. Ha ha ha ha!
Copy !req
46. I think we need
some new disguises.
Copy !req
47. Where are we gonna get
masks like that?
Copy !req
48. Get your genuine
Fire-Festival masks here!
Copy !req
49. That was surprisingly easy.
Copy !req
50. Hey, there's some food.
Copy !req
51. Finally!
Copy !req
52. What do you have?
Copy !req
53. Flaming fire flakes.
Copy !req
54. Best in town.
Copy !req
55. I'll take 'em.
Copy !req
56. Mmm! Mmm!
Copy !req
57. Oh, hot, hot!
Copy !req
58. Flaming fire flakes, hot.
Copy !req
59. What do you know?
Copy !req
60. Hey, look at this!
Copy !req
61. Don't worry, loyal citizens,
Copy !req
62. no one can surprise the Fire Lord!
Copy !req
63. - Oh, no!
- Look out!
Copy !req
64. Aang, hold on.
Copy !req
65. Where are we going?
Copy !req
66. I don't know...
Copy !req
67. But there's a big crowd,
so it must be good.
Copy !req
68. Knowing the Fire Nation,
Copy !req
69. it's probably an execution.
Copy !req
70. I gotta learn that trick.
Copy !req
71. Thank you!
Copy !req
72. For my next trick,
Copy !req
73. I need a volunteer from the audience.
Copy !req
74. Ooh, ooh! Me! me!
Copy !req
75. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
76. I want to get a closer look.
Copy !req
77. It's better that we don't attract
any attention to ourselves.
Copy !req
78. How about you, little lady?
Copy !req
79. Uh...
Copy !req
80. Aw, she's shy.
Copy !req
81. Let's give her some
encouragement, folks.
Copy !req
82. Aw, that could have been me.
Copy !req
83. This next trick is called
Taming the Dragon!
Copy !req
84. You will be my captured princess.
Copy !req
85. Don't worry, young maiden!
Copy !req
86. I will tame this fiery beast!
Copy !req
87. It's too strong!
Copy !req
88. I can't hold it!
Copy !req
89. We gotta help her!
Copy !req
90. No, we don't want to make a scene.
Copy !req
91. The rope... It's breaking!
Copy !req
92. Hey, you trying to upstage me, kid?
Copy !req
93. Hey! That kid's the Avatar!
Copy !req
94. I think it's time to go.
Copy !req
95. Follow me!
Copy !req
96. I can get you out of here!
Copy !req
97. There they are!
Copy !req
98. Over there!
Copy !req
99. I'm calling Appa.
Copy !req
100. I hope he can really hear
that bison whistle!
Copy !req
101. This way!
Copy !req
102. Ok, not this way.
Copy !req
103. Huh?
Copy !req
104. Appa, down here!
Copy !req
105. Beautiful!
Copy !req
106. Nice touch setting off the fireworks.
Copy !req
107. You seem to really know
your explosives.
Copy !req
108. I'm familiar.
Copy !req
109. You're a Fire Nation soldier.
Copy !req
110. Was.
Copy !req
111. My name's Chey.
Copy !req
112. I serve a man...
Copy !req
113. More than a man, really,
Copy !req
114. he's a myth...
Copy !req
115. But he's real, a living legend...
Copy !req
116. Jeong Jeong the Deserter.
Copy !req
117. He was a Fire Nation general.
Copy !req
118. Or wait... Was he an admiral?
Copy !req
119. He was very highly ranked. We get it.
Copy !req
120. Yeah! Way up there!
Copy !req
121. But he couldn't take
the madness anymore.
Copy !req
122. He's the first person ever
to leave the army and live.
Copy !req
123. I'm the second, but you don't
get to be a legend for that.
Copy !req
124. It's ok, though.
Copy !req
125. Jeong Jeong's a firebending genius.
Copy !req
126. Some say he's mad,
Copy !req
127. but he's not.
Copy !req
128. He's enlightened.
Copy !req
129. You mean there's a firebender out here
Copy !req
130. who's not with the Fire Lord?
Copy !req
131. We've gotta go see him!
Copy !req
132. He can train me!
Copy !req
133. We're not gonna go find
some crazy firebender.
Copy !req
134. He's not crazy!
Copy !req
135. He's a genius!
Copy !req
136. And he's the perfect person
to train the Avatar.
Copy !req
137. That's why I followed you
into the festival.
Copy !req
138. Look, thanks for the help,
Copy !req
139. but we're leaving for the North Pole
in the morning.
Copy !req
140. Sokka, this could be my only chance
to meet a firebending master
Copy !req
141. who would actually be willing
to teach me.
Copy !req
142. It can't hurt just to talk to him.
Copy !req
143. That's what you said about
going to the festival!
Copy !req
144. Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?
Copy !req
145. Aagh!
Copy !req
146. Don't move.
Copy !req
147. Jeong Jeong told you
not to look for Avatar.
Copy !req
148. Hold on. You know these guys?
Copy !req
149. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
150. Lin Ye's an old buddy.
Copy !req
151. Right, Lin Ye?
Copy !req
152. Shut up. Keep moving.
Copy !req
153. Go on. He sees you only.
Copy !req
154. Oh, that's ok.
Copy !req
155. We can chat later.
Copy !req
156. Is that where Jeong Jeong is?
Copy !req
157. I need to talk to him right away.
Copy !req
158. No. You wait there.
Copy !req
159. Go, now!
Copy !req
160. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Copy !req
161. He's a great man.
Copy !req
162. A great man!
Copy !req
163. So, the Avatar was here
Copy !req
164. and you let him slip away?
Copy !req
165. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
166. But other than that,
the festival went off without a hitch.
Copy !req
167. No fights. Theft was way down.
Copy !req
168. I don't care
about your local crime rates!
Copy !req
169. Which way did they go?
Copy !req
170. They headed into the forest.
Copy !req
171. Up the river, I suspect.
Copy !req
172. Ready the riverboats.
Copy !req
173. We're going after the Avatar.
Copy !req
174. What happened?
Can I see Jeong Jeong now?
Copy !req
175. He won't see you.
Copy !req
176. He's very angry
that I brought you here.
Copy !req
177. He wants you to leave immediately.
Copy !req
178. Finally! Let's hit the road.
Copy !req
179. Why won't he see me?
Copy !req
180. He says you're not ready.
Copy !req
181. Says you haven't mastered
waterbending and earthbending yet.
Copy !req
182. Wait, how does he know that?
Copy !req
183. He saw the way you walked into camp.
Copy !req
184. He can tell.
Copy !req
185. I'm going in anyway.
Copy !req
186. Get out!
Copy !req
187. Master, I need to learn firebending.
Copy !req
188. Only a fool seeks his own destruction.
Copy !req
189. I am the Avatar.
Copy !req
190. - It's my destiny to...
- Destiny?
Copy !req
191. What would a boy know of destiny?
Copy !req
192. If a fish lives its whole life
in this river,
Copy !req
193. does he know the river's destiny?
Copy !req
194. No!
Copy !req
195. Only that it runs on and on
out of his control.
Copy !req
196. He may follow where it flows,
Copy !req
197. but he cannot see the end.
Copy !req
198. He cannot imagine the ocean.
Copy !req
199. Ok...
Copy !req
200. But it's the Avatar's duty
Copy !req
201. to master all of
the bending disciplines.
Copy !req
202. To master the bending disciplines,
Copy !req
203. you must first master
discipline itself.
Copy !req
204. But you have no interest in this,
Copy !req
205. so I have no interest in you.
Copy !req
206. Now, get out.
Copy !req
207. Please, I have to learn.
Copy !req
208. This could be my only chance.
Copy !req
209. Are you deaf?
Copy !req
210. How can I teach you
if you refuse to listen?
Copy !req
211. Before learning firebending,
Copy !req
212. you must learn water and earth.
Copy !req
213. Water is cool and soothing.
Copy !req
214. Earth is steady and stable.
Copy !req
215. But fire...
Copy !req
216. Fire is alive.
Copy !req
217. It breathes, it grows.
Copy !req
218. Without the bender,
a rock will not throw itself.
Copy !req
219. But fire will spread
Copy !req
220. and destroy everything in its path
Copy !req
221. if one does not have
the will to control it!
Copy !req
222. That is its destiny.
Copy !req
223. You are not ready!
Copy !req
224. You are too weak!
Copy !req
225. You think I am weak?
Copy !req
226. Avatar Roku!
Copy !req
227. No, no!
Copy !req
228. I did not mean that.
Copy !req
229. I have mastered the elements
Copy !req
230. a thousand times
in a thousand lifetimes.
Copy !req
231. Now, I must do it once again.
Copy !req
232. You will teach the Avatar firebending.
Copy !req
233. Yes, yes.
Copy !req
234. I will teach you.
Copy !req
235. Really?
Copy !req
236. That's great!
Copy !req
237. Widen your stance.
Copy !req
238. Wider!
Copy !req
239. Bend your knees.
Copy !req
240. Now, concentrate.
Copy !req
241. Good. Good!
Copy !req
242. Wait. What do I do now?
Copy !req
243. Silence! Talking is not concentrating.
Copy !req
244. Look at your friend. Is she talking?
Copy !req
245. Even that oaf knows to concentrate
on what he's doing.
Copy !req
246. Hey!
Copy !req
247. But what am I concentrating on?
Copy !req
248. Feel the heat of the sun.
Copy !req
249. It is the greatest source of fire,
Copy !req
250. yet it is in complete balance
with nature.
Copy !req
251. So, when do I get to make some fire?
Copy !req
252. Concentrate!
Copy !req
253. Are we coming up here
so I don't burn anything
Copy !req
254. with my fire blasts?
Copy !req
255. No fire yet.
Copy !req
256. What?
Copy !req
257. Power in firebending
comes from the breath.
Copy !req
258. That is why you must master
proper breath control.
Copy !req
259. You brought me up here to breathe?
Copy !req
260. Assume your stance.
Copy !req
261. Wider.
Copy !req
262. - You're not even look...
- Wider!
Copy !req
263. Now, inhale through the nose
and exhale through the mouth...
Copy !req
264. Without talking.
Copy !req
265. Good. Keep going.
Copy !req
266. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
267. I did not tell you to stop!
Copy !req
268. I've been breathing for hours.
Copy !req
269. You want to stop breathing?
Copy !req
270. I want you to stop wasting my time.
Copy !req
271. I already know
how to squat and breathe
Copy !req
272. and feel the sun.
Copy !req
273. I want to know how to shoot fire
out of my fingertips.
Copy !req
274. I had a pupil once
Copy !req
275. who had no interest
in learning discipline.
Copy !req
276. He was only concerned
with the power of fire...
Copy !req
277. How he could use it
to destroy his opponents
Copy !req
278. and wipe out the obstacles
in his path,
Copy !req
279. but fire is a horrible burden to bear.
Copy !req
280. Its nature is to consume,
Copy !req
281. and without control,
it destroys everything around it.
Copy !req
282. Learn restraint,
Copy !req
283. or risk destroying yourself
and everything you love.
Copy !req
284. I thought about what you said.
Copy !req
285. I promise I'll be more patient.
Copy !req
286. We're going to work with fire now.
Copy !req
287. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
288. I mean...
Copy !req
289. Let us begin.
Copy !req
290. Concentrate on the fire.
Copy !req
291. I want you to keep this flame
from reaching the edges of the leaf
Copy !req
292. for as long as you can.
Copy !req
293. Master, there is trouble!
Copy !req
294. What's going on?
Copy !req
295. Concentrate on your leaf.
Copy !req
296. This is the worst
firebending instruction ever.
Copy !req
297. All he does
is leave me alone for hours
Copy !req
298. to concentrate or breathe.
Copy !req
299. I'm sure there's a good reason.
Copy !req
300. But I'm ready to do so much more.
Copy !req
301. I did it. I made fire!
Copy !req
302. Aang, that's great.
Copy !req
303. But you should take it slow.
Copy !req
304. - Whoa!
- Careful!
Copy !req
305. Aagh!
Copy !req
306. Now, that's firebending.
Copy !req
307. Aang, you'll hurt yourself.
Copy !req
308. I wonder how that juggler did it.
Copy !req
309. Katara!
Copy !req
310. I'm so sorry!
Copy !req
311. Katara, what's wrong?
Copy !req
312. What did you do?
Copy !req
313. It was an accident!
Copy !req
314. I was... Uh! Katara, I'm so...
Copy !req
315. I told you we shouldn't
mess around with this!
Copy !req
316. Look what you did!
Copy !req
317. You burned my sister!
Copy !req
318. You burned my sister!
Copy !req
319. This is all your fault!
Copy !req
320. I know! Now, pack your things.
Copy !req
321. You must leave immediately.
Copy !req
322. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
323. I didn't...
Copy !req
324. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
325. You have healing abilities.
Copy !req
326. The great benders of the Water Tribes
sometimes have this ability.
Copy !req
327. I've always wished
I were blessed like you...
Copy !req
328. Free from this burning curse.
Copy !req
329. But you're a great master.
Copy !req
330. You have powers I'll never know.
Copy !req
331. Water brings healing and life.
Copy !req
332. But fire brings only destruction
and pain.
Copy !req
333. It forces those of us
burdened with its care
Copy !req
334. to walk a razor's edge
between humanity and savagery.
Copy !req
335. Eventually we're torn apart.
Copy !req
336. Go get your friends and flee!
Copy !req
337. Do not come back here
or you will all be destroyed!
Copy !req
338. Hurry!
Copy !req
339. Don't worry, men.
Copy !req
340. My old teacher gave up fighting
a long time ago...
Copy !req
341. Haven't you, Master Jeong Jeong?
Copy !req
342. Katara, are you all right?
Copy !req
343. I'm fine.
Copy !req
344. We've gotta get out of here.
Copy !req
345. Where's Aang?
Copy !req
346. Jeong Jeong tried to tell me
that I wasn't ready.
Copy !req
347. I wouldn't listen.
Copy !req
348. I'm never gonna firebend again.
Copy !req
349. You'll have to eventually.
Copy !req
350. No, never again.
Copy !req
351. It's ok, Aang. I'm healed.
Copy !req
352. What? How?
Copy !req
353. I'll explain later.
Copy !req
354. But, right now,
we have to get out of here.
Copy !req
355. Zhao and his soldiers are attacking.
Copy !req
356. Where?
Copy !req
357. By the river.
Copy !req
358. They captured Jeong Jeong.
Copy !req
359. I have to help him!
Copy !req
360. Look at you.
Copy !req
361. You were once so great.
Copy !req
362. I can't believe my former master
Copy !req
363. has become nothing more
than a simple savage.
Copy !req
364. It is you who have embraced
savagery, Zhao.
Copy !req
365. It's Admiral Zhao now.
Copy !req
366. That title will not help you
against the Avatar.
Copy !req
367. Do not try to fight him.
Copy !req
368. You are no match.
Copy !req
369. I think I can handle a child.
Copy !req
370. I have never seen such raw power.
Copy !req
371. Jeong Jeong!
Copy !req
372. We'll see.
Copy !req
373. Men, take The Deserter.
Copy !req
374. It's a trick!
Copy !req
375. He's run off into the woods.
Copy !req
376. Find him!
Copy !req
377. Let's find out what my old master
has taught you.
Copy !req
378. You were Jeong Jeong's student?
Copy !req
379. Until I got bored.
Copy !req
380. I see he taught you
how to duck and run like a coward,
Copy !req
381. but I doubt he showed you
what a firebender is truly capable of!
Copy !req
382. Whoa! Wild shot!
Copy !req
383. I'll show you wild!
Copy !req
384. No self-control.
Copy !req
385. Stand and fight, Avatar!
Copy !req
386. Oh, were we fighting?
Copy !req
387. I thought you were
just getting warmed up.
Copy !req
388. I was.
Copy !req
389. Is that all you got?
Copy !req
390. Man, they'll make anyone
an admiral these days.
Copy !req
391. Ahoy!
Copy !req
392. I'm Admiral Zhao.
Copy !req
393. I don't know why, but I thought
you'd be better than Zuko.
Copy !req
394. Aagh!
Copy !req
395. Sloppy.
Copy !req
396. - Very sloppy.
Copy !req
397. Nowhere to run now,
Copy !req
398. you little smart mouth.
Copy !req
399. You've lost this battle.
Copy !req
400. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
401. You haven't thrown a single blow.
Copy !req
402. No, but you have.
Copy !req
403. Jeong Jeong said you had no restraint.
Copy !req
404. Have a nice walk home!
Copy !req
405. Aang, come on!
Copy !req
406. Let's go!
Copy !req
407. Wait! Where's Jeong Jeong?
Copy !req
408. He disappeared.
Copy !req
409. They all did.
Copy !req
410. Hey, where'd everybody go?
Copy !req
411. Very funny, guys!
Copy !req
412. Aang, you're burned.
Copy !req
413. Let me help you.
Copy !req
414. Wow! That's good water.
Copy !req
415. When did you learn how to do that?
Copy !req
416. I guess I always knew.
Copy !req
417. Oh. Well, then,
Copy !req
418. thanks for all the first aid
over the years...
Copy !req
419. Like, when I fell into
the greaseberry bramble,
Copy !req
420. and that time I had two fishhooks
in my thumb!
Copy !req
421. Two?
