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. A hundred 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 were great,
Copy !req
14. he has a lot to learn
before he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
15. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
16. Let's go, Appa! Come on, boy.
Copy !req
17. Look, I'm sorry, but Katara and Sokka
Copy !req
18. aren't coming
to the Fire Nation with us.
Copy !req
19. If they got hurt,
I'd never forgive myself.
Copy !req
20. So get your big butt
off the ground and let's go!
Copy !req
21. Uhh...
Copy !req
22. Aah!
Copy !req
23. I think his big butt
Copy !req
24. is trying to tell you something.
Copy !req
25. Please don't go, Aang.
Copy !req
26. The world can't afford to lose you
to the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
27. Neither can I.
Copy !req
28. But I have to talk to Avatar Roku
Copy !req
29. to find out what my vision means.
Copy !req
30. I need to get to the fire temple
Copy !req
31. before the sun sets on the solstice.
Copy !req
32. That's today!
Copy !req
33. We're not letting you
go into the Fire Nation, Aang.
Copy !req
34. At least not without your friends.
Copy !req
35. We got your back.
Copy !req
36. Ew!
Copy !req
37. It's a long journey
to the crescent island.
Copy !req
38. You'll have to fly fast
to have any chance
Copy !req
39. of making it before sundown.
Copy !req
40. Good luck.
Copy !req
41. Thank you for your―
Copy !req
42. Go!
Copy !req
43. Ah.
Copy !req
44. Having trouble sleeping?
Copy !req
45. Uh!
Copy !req
46. Seen the Avatar lately?
Copy !req
47. Come on, boy.
We've got a long way to go.
Copy !req
48. Faster!
Copy !req
49. Sailing into Fire Nation waters.
Copy !req
50. Of all the foolish things you've done
Copy !req
51. in your 16 years, Prince Zuko,
Copy !req
52. this is the most foolish.
Copy !req
53. I have no choice, uncle.
Copy !req
54. Have you completely forgotten
Copy !req
55. that the Fire Lord banished you?
Copy !req
56. What if you're caught?
Copy !req
57. I'm chasing the Avatar.
Copy !req
58. My father will understand
why I'm returning home.
Copy !req
59. You give him too much credit.
Copy !req
60. My brother is not
the understanding type.
Copy !req
61. There they are.
Copy !req
62. Helmsman, full steam ahead.
Copy !req
63. Aang, we got trouble.
Copy !req
64. Yeah, and it's gaining fast!
Copy !req
65. Really, Prince Zuko,
couldn't you shoot them down
Copy !req
66. with something more fragrant?
Copy !req
67. Huh!
Copy !req
68. On my mark.
Copy !req
69. Fire!
Copy !req
70. Fire ball!
Copy !req
71. I'm on it!
Copy !req
72. We have to get out of Zuko's range
Copy !req
73. before he shoots
another hotsticker at us!
Copy !req
74. Can't you make Appa go any faster?
Copy !req
75. Yeah, but there's
just one little problem.
Copy !req
76. A blockade.
Copy !req
77. Technically, you are still
Copy !req
78. in Earth Kingdom waters.
Copy !req
79. Turn back now,
and they cannot arrest you.
Copy !req
80. If we fly north,
Copy !req
81. we can go around the Fire Nation ships
Copy !req
82. and avoid the blockade.
Copy !req
83. It's the only way.
Copy !req
84. There's no time!
Copy !req
85. This is exactly why
I didn't want you to come.
Copy !req
86. It's too dangerous.
Copy !req
87. And that's exactly why we're here.
Copy !req
88. Let's run this blockade.
Copy !req
89. Appa, yip yip!
Copy !req
90. He's not turning around.
Copy !req
91. Please, Prince Zuko.
If the Fire Nation captures you,
Copy !req
92. There is nothing I can do.
Copy !req
93. Do not follow the Avatar.
Copy !req
94. I'm sorry, uncle.
Copy !req
95. Run the blockade!
Copy !req
96. The Avatar...
Copy !req
97. And the banished prince.
Copy !req
98. This must be my lucky day.
Copy !req
99. Commander Zhao, what are your orders?
Copy !req
100. Shoot the bison down, captain.
Copy !req
101. But there's a fire navy ship
out there, sir― One of our own.
Copy !req
102. What if it's hit?
Copy !req
103. So be it. It belongs to a traitor.
Copy !req
104. Ignite!
Copy !req
105. Launch!
Copy !req
106. Aah! Aah! Aah!
Copy !req
107. Appa, are you ok?
Copy !req
108. Prince Zuko, the engines are damaged!
Copy !req
109. We need to stop and make repairs!
Copy !req
110. Do not stop this ship.
Copy !req
111. Launch!
Copy !req
112. Aah!
Copy !req
113. Aah! Aah! Aah!
Copy !req
114. Aah!
Copy !req
115. Sokka!
Copy !req
116. Aah!
Copy !req
117. Aah!
Copy !req
118. Oh!
Copy !req
119. Ready.
Copy !req
120. Fire!
Copy !req
121. Aah!
Copy !req
122. Huh!
Copy !req
123. Aah! Ooh!
Copy !req
124. We made it!
Copy !req
125. We got into the Fire Nation. Great.
Copy !req
126. Where do you think
the Avatar is headed, sir?
Copy !req
127. I'm not sure,
Copy !req
128. but I bet a certain
banished prince will know.
Copy !req
129. We're on a collision course!
Copy !req
130. We can make it.
Copy !req
131. The boarding party is ready
to apprehend Prince Zuko, sir.
Copy !req
132. Wait. Cut the engines
Copy !req
133. and let them pass.
Copy !req
134. Sir?
Copy !req
135. There it is―
Copy !req
136. The island
where Roku's dragon took me.
Copy !req
137. You did it, buddy. Nice flying.
Copy !req
138. Oh, you must be tired.
Copy !req
139. No, I'm good. Refreshed and ready
to fight some firebenders.
Copy !req
140. I was talking to Appa.
Copy !req
141. Well, I was talking to Momo.
Copy !req
142. I don't see any guards.
Copy !req
143. The Fire Nation
Copy !req
144. must have abandoned the temple
Copy !req
145. when Avatar Roku died.
Copy !req
146. It's almost sundown.
We'd better hurry.
Copy !req
147. Wait. I think I heard something.
Copy !req
148. We are the fire sages,
guardians of the temple of the Avatar.
Copy !req
149. Great. I am the Avatar.
Copy !req
150. We know.
Copy !req
151. I'll hold them off. Run!
Copy !req
152. Uh! Uh! Uh!
Copy !req
153. If the Avatar contacts Roku,
Copy !req
154. there's no telling how powerful
the boy will become.
Copy !req
155. Split up and find him.
Copy !req
156. Follow me!
Copy !req
157. Do you know where you're going?
Copy !req
158. Nope.
Copy !req
159. Wrong way!
Copy !req
160. Come back!
Copy !req
161. I don't want to fight you.
I am a friend.
Copy !req
162. Firebenders aren't our friends.
Copy !req
163. I know why you're here, Avatar.
Copy !req
164. You do?
Copy !req
165. Yes. You wish to speak to Avatar Roku.
Copy !req
166. I can take you to him.
Copy !req
167. How?
Copy !req
168. Uh!
Copy !req
169. This way.
Copy !req
170. Find him!
Copy !req
171. Time is running out! Quickly!
Copy !req
172. What's he up to, uncle?
Copy !req
173. Why didn't Commander Zhao arrest me?
Copy !req
174. Because he wants to follow you.
Copy !req
175. He knows you'll lead him
Copy !req
176. to the prize you're both after―
Copy !req
177. The Avatar.
Copy !req
178. If Zhao wants to follow
our trail of smoke,
Copy !req
179. then that's exactly
what I'll let him do.
Copy !req
180. Avatar Roku once called
this temple his home.
Copy !req
181. He formed these secret passages
out of the magma.
Copy !req
182. Did you know Avatar Roku?
Copy !req
183. No, but my grandfather knew him.
Copy !req
184. Many generations of fire sages
Copy !req
185. guarded this temple long before me.
Copy !req
186. We all have a strong
spiritual connection
Copy !req
187. to this place.
Copy !req
188. Is that how you knew I was coming?
Copy !req
189. A few weeks ago,
an amazing thing occurred.
Copy !req
190. The statue of Avatar Roku―
Copy !req
191. Its eyes began to glow.
Copy !req
192. That's when we were
at the air temple.
Copy !req
193. Avatar Roku's eyes
were glowing there, too.
Copy !req
194. At that moment,
we knew you had returned to the world.
Copy !req
195. If this is the Avatar's temple,
Copy !req
196. why did the sages attack me?
Copy !req
197. Things have changed.
Copy !req
198. In the past, the sages were loyal
Copy !req
199. only to the Avatar.
Copy !req
200. When Roku died, the sages eagerly
awaited for the next Avatar to return,
Copy !req
201. but he never came.
Copy !req
202. They were waiting for me.
Copy !req
203. Hey, don't feel bad.
You're only 100 years late.
Copy !req
204. They lost hope that the Avatar
would ever return.
Copy !req
205. When Fire Lord Sozin began the war,
Copy !req
206. my grandfather and the other sages
Copy !req
207. were forced to follow him.
Copy !req
208. I never wanted to serve the Fire Lord.
Copy !req
209. When I learned you were coming,
Copy !req
210. I knew I would have to
betray the other sages.
Copy !req
211. Thank you for helping me.
Copy !req
212. We'll follow these stairs
to the sanctuary.
Copy !req
213. Once you're inside,
Copy !req
214. wait for the light to hit
Avatar Roku's statue.
Copy !req
215. Only then will you be
able to speak with him.
Copy !req
216. No!
Copy !req
217. Shyu, what's wrong?
Copy !req
218. The sanctuary doors― They're closed.
Copy !req
219. Can't you just open them
with firebending,
Copy !req
220. like you opened that other door?
Copy !req
221. No. Only a fully realized Avatar
Copy !req
222. is powerful enough
to open this door alone.
Copy !req
223. Otherwise, the sages must
open the doors together
Copy !req
224. with five simultaneous fire blasts.
Copy !req
225. Five fire blasts, huh?
Copy !req
226. I think I can help you out.
Copy !req
227. Uncle, keep heading north.
Copy !req
228. Zhao will follow the smoke trail
Copy !req
229. while I use it as a cover.
Copy !req
230. Hmmm.
Copy !req
231. This is a little trick
Copy !req
232. I picked up from my father.
Copy !req
233. I seal the lamp oil inside
an animal skin casing.
Copy !req
234. Shyu lights the oil-soaked twine,
Copy !req
235. and ta da!
Copy !req
236. Fake firebending.
Copy !req
237. You're really outdone yourself
this time, Sokka.
Copy !req
238. This might actually work.
Copy !req
239. The sages will hear the explosion,
Copy !req
240. so as soon as they go off,
you rush in.
Copy !req
241. It's almost sunset. Are you ready?
Copy !req
242. Definitely.
Copy !req
243. Ooh!
Copy !req
244. Uh! Uh!
Copy !req
245. They're still locked!
Copy !req
246. It didn't work.
Copy !req
247. Why won't it open? Uh!
Copy !req
248. Aang, stop.
Copy !req
249. There's nothing else we can do.
Copy !req
250. I'm sorry I put you
through all this for nothing.
Copy !req
251. I don't get it.
Copy !req
252. That blast looked as strong
Copy !req
253. as any firebending I've seen.
Copy !req
254. Sokka, you're a genius!
Copy !req
255. Wait. How is Sokka a genius?
Copy !req
256. His plan didn't even work.
Copy !req
257. Come on, Aang. Let her dream.
Copy !req
258. You're right.
Sokka's plan didn't work,
Copy !req
259. but it looks like it did.
Copy !req
260. Did the definition of genius change
Copy !req
261. in the last 100 years?
Copy !req
262. Come quickly!
The Avatar has entered the sanctuary!
Copy !req
263. How did he get in?
Copy !req
264. I know, but look at the scorch marks,
Copy !req
265. and down there.
Copy !req
266. He's inside.
Open the doors immediately
Copy !req
267. before he contacts Avatar Roku.
Copy !req
268. - Huh!
- Huh!
Copy !req
269. It's the Avatar's lemur.
Copy !req
270. He must have crawled
through the pipes.
Copy !req
271. We've been tricked!
Copy !req
272. - Aah!
Copy !req
273. Now, Aang.
Copy !req
274. Aang, now's your chance!
Copy !req
275. The Avatar's coming with me.
Copy !req
276. Uh! Uh!
Copy !req
277. Uh!
Copy !req
278. Close the doors, quickly!
Copy !req
279. - Uh!
- Aah!
Copy !req
280. Go!
Copy !req
281. He made it!
Copy !req
282. The light hits the statue,
and I talk to Roku.
Copy !req
283. So why isn't anything happening?
Copy !req
284. - Huh!
- Huh!
Copy !req
285. Why isn't it working?
It's sealed shut.
Copy !req
286. It must have been the light.
Copy !req
287. Avatar Roku doesn't want us inside.
Copy !req
288. Why isn't anything happening?
Copy !req
289. I don't know what I'm doing.
Copy !req
290. All I know is airbending.
Copy !req
291. Please, Avatar Roku, talk to me.
Copy !req
292. It's good to see you, Aang.
Copy !req
293. What took you so long?
Copy !req
294. Why did you help the Avatar?
Copy !req
295. Because it was once the sage's duty.
Copy !req
296. It is still our duty.
Copy !req
297. What a moving
and heartfelt performance.
Copy !req
298. I'm certain the Fire Lord
will understand
Copy !req
299. when you explain why you betrayed him.
Copy !req
300. Commander Zhao―
Copy !req
301. And, Prince Zuko,
Copy !req
302. it was a noble effort,
Copy !req
303. but your little smokescreen
didn't work.
Copy !req
304. Two traitors in one day.
Copy !req
305. The Fire Lord will be pleased.
Copy !req
306. You're too late, Zhao.
Copy !req
307. The Avatar's inside,
Copy !req
308. and the doors are sealed.
Copy !req
309. No matter. Sooner or later,
Copy !req
310. he has to come out.
Copy !req
311. I have something very important
to tell you, Aang.
Copy !req
312. That is why,
when you were in the spirit world,
Copy !req
313. I sent my dragon to find you.
Copy !req
314. Is it about that vision―
Copy !req
315. The one of the comet?
Copy !req
316. Yes.
Copy !req
317. What does it mean?
Copy !req
318. 100 years ago,
Copy !req
319. Fire Lord Sozin used that comet
Copy !req
320. to begin the war.
Copy !req
321. He and his firebending army
Copy !req
322. harnessed its incredible power
Copy !req
323. and dealt a deadly first strike
Copy !req
324. against the other nations.
Copy !req
325. So the comet made them stronger?
Copy !req
326. Yes, stronger than you
could even imagine.
Copy !req
327. But that happened a hundred years ago.
Copy !req
328. What does the comet
have to do with the war now?
Copy !req
329. Listen carefully.
Copy !req
330. Sozin's Comet will return
by the end of this summer,
Copy !req
331. and Fire Lord Ozai will use its power
Copy !req
332. to finish the war once and for all.
Copy !req
333. Aah!
Copy !req
334. If he succeeds, even the Avatar
Copy !req
335. won't be able to restore
balance to the world.
Copy !req
336. Aang, you must defeat the Fire Lord
Copy !req
337. before the comet arrives.
Copy !req
338. But I haven't even started
learning waterbending,
Copy !req
339. not to mention earth and fire.
Copy !req
340. Mastering the elements takes years
of discipline and practice,
Copy !req
341. But if the world is to survive,
Copy !req
342. you must do it by summer's end.
Copy !req
343. When those doors open,
Copy !req
344. unleash all your firepower.
Copy !req
345. How's Aang gonna make it out of this?
Copy !req
346. How are we gonna make it out of this?
Copy !req
347. What if I can't master
all the elements in time?
Copy !req
348. What if I fail?
Copy !req
349. I know you can do it, Aang,
Copy !req
350. for you have done it before.
Copy !req
351. The solstice is ending.
Copy !req
352. We must go our separate ways for now.
Copy !req
353. But I won't be able
to come back to the temple.
Copy !req
354. What if I have questions?
Copy !req
355. How will I talk to you?
Copy !req
356. I am a part of you.
Copy !req
357. When you need to talk to me again,
Copy !req
358. you will find a way.
Copy !req
359. A great danger awaits you
at the temple.
Copy !req
360. I can help you face the threat,
Copy !req
361. But only if you are ready.
Copy !req
362. I'm ready.
Copy !req
363. Ready...
Copy !req
364. No! Aang!
Copy !req
365. Fire!
Copy !req
366. Avatar Roku!
Copy !req
367. - Uh!
- Uh!
Copy !req
368. Uh!
Copy !req
369. - Oh!
- Oh!
Copy !req
370. Avatar Roku is going to
destroy the temple.
Copy !req
371. We have to get out of here!
Copy !req
372. Not without Aang!
Copy !req
373. Huh!
Copy !req
374. We got your back.
Copy !req
375. Thanks. Where's Shyu?
Copy !req
376. I don't know.
Copy !req
377. Uh! Uh! Uh!
Copy !req
378. No prince, no Avatar.
Copy !req
379. Apparently the only thing I do have
Copy !req
380. is five traitors.
Copy !req
381. But, Commander,
only Shyu helped the Avatar.
Copy !req
382. Save your stories for the Fire Lord.
Copy !req
383. As far as I'm concerned,
Copy !req
384. you are all guilty.
Copy !req
385. Take them to the prison hold!
Copy !req
