1. Water, earth,
Copy !req
2. fire, air...
Copy !req
3. Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.
Copy !req
4. Then everything changed
when the Fire Nation attacked.
Copy !req
5. Only the Avatar, master of all
four elements, could stop them.
Copy !req
6. But when the world needed him most,
Copy !req
7. he vanished.
Copy !req
8. A hundred years passed, and my brother
and I discovered the new Avatar,
Copy !req
9. an airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
10. And although his
airbending skills are great,
Copy !req
11. he has a lot to learn
before he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
12. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
13. Nice try, Pupil Sangok.
Copy !req
14. A couple of more years,
Copy !req
15. and you might be ready
to fight a sea sponge.
Copy !req
16. Whoa!
Copy !req
17. Would anyone care for
a rematch with Katara?
Copy !req
18. Katara, you've
advanced more quickly
Copy !req
19. than any student I've ever trained.
Copy !req
20. You have proven
that with fierce determination,
Copy !req
21. passion, and hard work,
Copy !req
22. you can accomplish anything.
Copy !req
23. Raw talent alone is not enough.
Copy !req
24. Pupil Aang!
Copy !req
25. Yes, Master Pakku?
Copy !req
26. Care to step into
the sparring circle?
Copy !req
27. I figure since you've found time
to play with house pets,
Copy !req
28. you must have
already mastered waterbending.
Copy !req
29. I wouldn't say mastered,
Copy !req
30. but check this out!
Copy !req
31. So, they don't have palaces
in the Southern Tribe?
Copy !req
32. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
33. I grew up in a block of ice.
Copy !req
34. It's not exactly a cultural hub.
Copy !req
35. Sokka, this is wrong.
Copy !req
36. What's wrong?
Copy !req
37. We're taking a walk!
Copy !req
38. I'm engaged.
Copy !req
39. It just feels...
Copy !req
40. I know what you need.
Copy !req
41. You need to meet my good friend Appa.
Copy !req
42. Who?
Copy !req
43. Appa and I go way back,
don't we, boy?
Copy !req
44. Aagh! Easy!
Copy !req
45. Down, boy!
Copy !req
46. No, up!
Copy !req
47. Looks like you haven't been
giving Appa enough attention.
Copy !req
48. So, how does this work?
Copy !req
49. You hanging on tight?
Copy !req
50. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
51. Yip, yip.
Copy !req
52. Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
53. Wow!
Copy !req
54. I can't believe you do this every day.
Copy !req
55. Yeah, we pretty much live up here.
Copy !req
56. Is it always this cold in the sky?
Copy !req
57. Not when you're with someone.
Copy !req
58. It's beautiful up here.
Copy !req
59. Yeah.
Copy !req
60. Whoo, yeah!
Copy !req
61. Good times, good times.
Copy !req
62. Hey, look.
Copy !req
63. What's happening?
Copy !req
64. Oh, no.
Copy !req
65. Soot.
What?
Copy !req
66. I've seen it before.
Copy !req
67. Right before my village was attacked.
Copy !req
68. It's soot mixed with snow.
Copy !req
69. But why?
Copy !req
70. It's the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
71. They've closed in on the North Pole.
Copy !req
72. And from the looks of this stuff,
Copy !req
73. I'd say there's a lot of them.
Copy !req
74. This will truly be one for
the history books, General Iroh.
Copy !req
75. Just think. Centuries from now,
Copy !req
76. people will study
the Great Admiral Zhao,
Copy !req
77. who destroyed the last
Copy !req
78. of the Water Tribe civilization.
Copy !req
79. You're lucky you're here to see it.
Copy !req
80. Be careful what you wish for, Admiral.
Copy !req
81. History is not always kind
to its subjects.
Copy !req
82. I suppose you speak from experience.
Copy !req
83. But, rest assured,
this will be nothing like
Copy !req
84. your legendary failure at Ba Sing Se.
Copy !req
85. I hope not, for your sake.
Copy !req
86. Tell the captains to prepare
for first strike.
Copy !req
87. We'll be landing soon.
Copy !req
88. Do you have a plan?
Copy !req
89. I'm working on it, Uncle.
Copy !req
90. What's wrong? We have to go!
Copy !req
91. No, Sokka.
Copy !req
92. Wait.
Copy !req
93. I can't see you anymore.
Copy !req
94. Not at all.
Copy !req
95. What? We're just friends.
Copy !req
96. I wish we could just be friends.
Copy !req
97. But I like you too much,
Copy !req
98. and it's too confusing
to be around you.
Copy !req
99. I'm marrying someone else.
Copy !req
100. You don't love him, do you?
Copy !req
101. You don't even seem to like him.
Copy !req
102. But I do love my people.
Copy !req
103. You're not marrying them!
Copy !req
104. You don't understand.
Copy !req
105. I have duties to my father,
Copy !req
106. to my tribe.
Copy !req
107. I have to do this.
Copy !req
108. Good-bye.
Copy !req
109. The day we have feared
for so long has arrived.
Copy !req
110. The Fire Nation is on our doorstep.
Copy !req
111. It is with great sadness
Copy !req
112. I call my family here before me,
Copy !req
113. knowing well that some of these faces
Copy !req
114. are about to vanish from our tribe.
Copy !req
115. But they will never vanish
from our hearts.
Copy !req
116. Now, as we approach
the battle for our existence,
Copy !req
117. I call upon the great spirits.
Copy !req
118. Spirit of the ocean,
Copy !req
119. spirit of the moon, be with us!
Copy !req
120. I'm going to need volunteers
for a dangerous mission.
Copy !req
121. - Count me in.
- Sokka...
Copy !req
122. Be warned.
Copy !req
123. Many of you will not return.
Copy !req
124. Come forward to receive my mark
Copy !req
125. if you accept the task.
Copy !req
126. The stillness before battle
is unbearable.
Copy !req
127. Such a quiet dread.
Copy !req
128. I wasn't there when the Fire Nation
attacked my people.
Copy !req
129. I'm gonna make a difference this time.
Copy !req
130. Yip, yip!
Copy !req
131. Katara!
Copy !req
132. I'll take it from here, boy.
Copy !req
133. Appa!
Copy !req
134. Thanks for the rescue, buddy.
Copy !req
135. You've gotta be kidding me.
Copy !req
136. Men, you'll be infiltrating
the Fire Nation navy.
Copy !req
137. That means you'll all need
one of these uniforms.
Copy !req
138. What's your problem?
Copy !req
139. Fire navy uniforms
don't look like that.
Copy !req
140. Of course they do.
Copy !req
141. These are real uniforms captured
from actual fire navy soldiers.
Copy !req
142. When, like, 100 years ago?
Copy !req
143. 85.
Copy !req
144. The Fire Nation doesn't wear
shoulder spikes anymore.
Copy !req
145. The newer uniforms
are more streamlined.
Copy !req
146. How do we know we can trust this guy?
Copy !req
147. Such bold talk for a new recruit.
Copy !req
148. Sokka is from our sister tribe, Hahn.
Copy !req
149. He is a capable warrior,
and I value his input.
Copy !req
150. Now, our first objective
is to determine
Copy !req
151. the identity
of their commanding officer.
Copy !req
152. His name is Zhao.
Copy !req
153. Middle-aged, big sideburns,
bigger temper...
Copy !req
154. Sokka, I want you to tell
everything you know to Hahn.
Copy !req
155. He's leading this mission.
Copy !req
156. Hahn, show Sokka your respect.
Copy !req
157. I expect nothing less
from my future son-in-law.
Copy !req
158. Princess Yue's marrying you?
Copy !req
159. Yeah. What of it?
Copy !req
160. Nothing. Congratulations.
Copy !req
161. Stop those fireballs!
Copy !req
162. It's almost twilight, Admiral.
Copy !req
163. As your military consultant,
Copy !req
164. I must advise you to halt your attack.
Copy !req
165. The waterbenders draw their power
from the moon,
Copy !req
166. and it is nearly full tonight.
Copy !req
167. You should wait
and resume the attack at daybreak.
Copy !req
168. Oh, I am well aware
of the moon problem.
Copy !req
169. And I'm working on a solution.
Copy !req
170. But for now, daybreak it is.
Copy !req
171. They've stopped firing.
Copy !req
172. Aang!
Copy !req
173. I can't do it.
Copy !req
174. I can't do it.
Copy !req
175. What happened?
Copy !req
176. I must have taken out
a dozen fire navy ships,
Copy !req
177. but there's just too many of them.
Copy !req
178. I can't fight them all!
Copy !req
179. But you have to.
Copy !req
180. You're the Avatar.
Copy !req
181. I'm just one kid.
Copy !req
182. If you are fishing
for an octopus, my nephew,
Copy !req
183. you need a tightly woven net,
Copy !req
184. or he will squeeze through
the tiniest hole and escape.
Copy !req
185. I don't need your wisdom
right now, Uncle.
Copy !req
186. I'm sorry, I just nag you because...
Copy !req
187. Well, ever since I lost my son...
Copy !req
188. Uncle, you don't have to say it.
Copy !req
189. I think of you as my own.
Copy !req
190. I know, Uncle.
Copy !req
191. We'll meet again.
Copy !req
192. After I have the Avatar.
Copy !req
193. Remember your breath of fire.
Copy !req
194. It could save your life out there.
Copy !req
195. I will.
Copy !req
196. And put your hood up.
Copy !req
197. Keep your ears warm.
Copy !req
198. I'll be fine!
Copy !req
199. Let me tell you, Sokka,
Copy !req
200. I've courted a lot of girls,
but Yue is the finest.
Copy !req
201. And she comes with the most perks.
Copy !req
202. Perks? What does that mean?
Copy !req
203. I mean,
Yue's nice and everything,
Copy !req
204. but the points I'll gain
with the chief aren't bad either.
Copy !req
205. Princess Yue is wasted
on a self-absorbed weasel like you!
Copy !req
206. Whoa, hang on!
Copy !req
207. What do you care?
Copy !req
208. You're just a simple rube
from the Southern Tribe.
Copy !req
209. What would you know of the political
complexities of our life?
Copy !req
210. No offense.
Copy !req
211. You're just a jerk without a soul!
No offense!
Copy !req
212. That's enough!
Copy !req
213. Sokka, you're off the mission.
Copy !req
214. All right, fall in, men!
Copy !req
215. Everybody listen to what I say,
Copy !req
216. and we'll take out this Admiral Cho
in no time!
Copy !req
217. It's Admiral Zhao!
Copy !req
218. Where are they going?
Copy !req
219. They're coming up for air somewhere.
Copy !req
220. The legends say the moon
was the first waterbender.
Copy !req
221. Our ancestors saw how it pushed
and pulled the tides,
Copy !req
222. and learned how to do it themselves.
Copy !req
223. I've always noticed
my waterbending is stronger at night.
Copy !req
224. Our strength comes from
the spirit of the moon,
Copy !req
225. our life comes from the spirit
of the ocean.
Copy !req
226. They work together to keep balance.
Copy !req
227. The spirits.
Copy !req
228. Maybe I can find them
and get their help.
Copy !req
229. How can you do that?
Copy !req
230. The avatar is the bridge
Copy !req
231. between our world
and the spirit world.
Copy !req
232. Aang can talk to them!
Copy !req
233. Maybe they'll give you the wisdom
to win this battle.
Copy !req
234. Or maybe they'll unleash
Copy !req
235. a crazy-amazing spirit attack
on the Fire Nation!
Copy !req
236. Or wisdom. That's good, too.
Copy !req
237. The only problem is,
Copy !req
238. the last time you got
to the spirit world by accident.
Copy !req
239. How are you going
to get there this time?
Copy !req
240. I have an idea. Follow me.
Copy !req
241. So, is this the way
to the spirit world?
Copy !req
242. Ha ha ha. No.
Copy !req
243. You'll have to get there on your own.
But I can take you
Copy !req
244. to the most spiritual place
in the entire North Pole.
Copy !req
245. I never thought
I'd miss grass this much!
Copy !req
246. It's so warm here!
How is that possible?
Copy !req
247. It's the center
of all spiritual energy in our land.
Copy !req
248. You're right, Yue.
Copy !req
249. I can feel...
Copy !req
250. Something.
Copy !req
251. It's so...
Copy !req
252. Tranquil.
Copy !req
253. Be quiet!
Copy !req
254. Is something wrong, Sokka?
Copy !req
255. Oh, no.
Copy !req
256. Hahn's out there
on the top-secret mission,
Copy !req
257. while I'm here
sharpening my boomerang.
Copy !req
258. Everything's fine.
Copy !req
259. Listen to me.
Copy !req
260. I took you off the mission
for selfish reasons.
Copy !req
261. I have a special task in mind for you.
Copy !req
262. What, you want me
to scrub the barracks?
Copy !req
263. I want you to guard my daughter,
Princess Yue.
Copy !req
264. Oh. Sure.
Copy !req
265. That shouldn't be too hard.
Copy !req
266. Why is he sitting like that?
Copy !req
267. He's meditating.
Copy !req
268. Trying to cross over
into the spirit world.
Copy !req
269. It takes all his concentration.
Copy !req
270. Is there any way we can help?
Copy !req
271. How about some quiet?
Copy !req
272. Come on, guys,
I can hear every word you're saying.
Copy !req
273. Is he ok?
Copy !req
274. He's crossing into the spirit world.
Copy !req
275. He'll be fine as long as
we don't move his body.
Copy !req
276. That's his way back
to the physical world.
Copy !req
277. Maybe we should get some help?
Copy !req
278. No. He's my friend.
Copy !req
279. I'm perfectly capable
of protecting him.
Copy !req
280. Well, aren't you a big girl now?
Copy !req
281. No...
Copy !req
282. Yes.
Copy !req
283. Hand him over
and I won't have to hurt you.
Copy !req
284. Hyah!
Copy !req
285. I see you've learned a new trick.
Copy !req
286. But I didn't come this far
to lose to you.
Copy !req
287. You little peasant.
Copy !req
288. You've found a master, haven't you?
Copy !req
289. Hyah!
Copy !req
290. Hyah! Hyah...
Copy !req
291. Aah! Uh!
Copy !req
292. Hyah! Hyah...
Copy !req
293. It's daybreak at last.
Copy !req
294. Let's write history.
Copy !req
295. You rise with the moon,
I rise with the sun.
Copy !req
296. The Water Tribe can try
to resist the inevitable,
Copy !req
297. but their city will fall today.
Copy !req
298. Aang?
Copy !req
299. What happened? Where's Zuko?
Copy !req
300. He took Aang.
Copy !req
301. He took him right out from under me.
Copy !req
302. Where did they go?
Copy !req
