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,
Copy !req
12. and my brother and I
discovered the new Avatar―
Copy !req
13. An airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
14. And although his airbending
skills are great,
Copy !req
15. he has a lot to learn
before he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
16. Oof.
Copy !req
17. But I believe
Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
18. Aah!
Copy !req
19. Aang?
Copy !req
20. Do you want to talk about it?
Copy !req
21. Nah. Just a nightmare.
Copy !req
22. I was in the Avatar state,
Copy !req
23. But I was outside my body,
watching myself.
Copy !req
24. It was scary.
Copy !req
25. I was scary.
Copy !req
26. Katara, I want you to have this.
Copy !req
27. This amulet contains
water from the spirit oasis.
Copy !req
28. The water has unique properties.
Copy !req
29. Don't lose it.
Copy !req
30. Thank you, Master Pakku.
Copy !req
31. Aang, these scrolls
will help you master waterbending.
Copy !req
32. But remember,
they're no substitute for a real master.
Copy !req
33. Sokka...
Copy !req
34. Take care, son.
Copy !req
35. Fly straight to the Earth Kingdom
base to the east of here.
Copy !req
36. General Fong will provide you
with an escort to Omashu.
Copy !req
37. There you'll be safe to begin
your earthbending training with King Bumi.
Copy !req
38. - Appa, yip-yip!
Say hi to Gran-Gran for me.
Copy !req
39. Ahh.
Copy !req
40. This is what I've been missing.
Copy !req
41. Who knew floating
on a piece of driftwood for three weeks
Copy !req
42. with no food or water
Copy !req
43. and sea vultures
waiting to pluck out your liver
Copy !req
44. could make one so tense?
Copy !req
45. I see. It's the anniversary, isn't it?
Copy !req
46. Three years ago today, I was banished.
Copy !req
47. I lost it all. I want it back.
Copy !req
48. I want the Avatar.
I want my honor, my throne.
Copy !req
49. I want my father
not to think I'm worthless.
Copy !req
50. I'm sure he doesn't.
Why would he banish you if he didn't care?
Copy !req
51. Uh, that came out wrong, didn't it?
Copy !req
52. My brother and my uncle
have disgraced the Fire Lord,
Copy !req
53. and brought shame on all of us.
Copy !req
54. You may have mixed feelings about
attacking members of the royal family.
Copy !req
55. I understand. But I assure you,
Copy !req
56. if you hesitate, I will not hesitate
to bring you down.
Copy !req
57. Dismissed.
Copy !req
58. Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not
allow us to bring the ship into port
Copy !req
59. before nightfall.
Copy !req
60. I'm sorry, captain, but I do not know
much about the tides.
Copy !req
61. Can you explain something to me?
Copy !req
62. Of course, your highness.
Copy !req
63. Do the tides command this ship?
Copy !req
64. Uh, I'm afraid I don't understand.
Copy !req
65. You said the tides
would not allow us to bring the ship in.
Copy !req
66. Do the tides command this ship?
Copy !req
67. No, princess.
Copy !req
68. And if I were to have you
thrown overboard,
Copy !req
69. would the tides think twice about
smashing you against the rocky shore?
Copy !req
70. No, princess.
Copy !req
71. Well, then maybe you should
worry less about the tides,
Copy !req
72. who've already made up
their mind about killing you
Copy !req
73. and worry more about me,
who's still mulling it over.
Copy !req
74. I'll pull us in.
Copy !req
75. There it is!
Copy !req
76. Welcome, Avatar Aang!
Copy !req
77. I am General Fong.
Copy !req
78. And welcome to all of you great heroes―
Copy !req
79. Appa, Momo, brave Sokka,
the mighty Katara.
Copy !req
80. Mighty Katara? I like that.
Copy !req
81. Not bad. Not bad.
Copy !req
82. Avatar Aang, we were all amazed
Copy !req
83. at the stories of how
you single-handedly wiped out
Copy !req
84. an entire fire navy fleet
at the North Pole.
Copy !req
85. I can't imagine what it feels like
to wield such devastating power.
Copy !req
86. It's an awesome responsibility.
Copy !req
87. I try not to think about it too much.
Copy !req
88. Avatar, you're ready
to face the Fire Lord now.
Copy !req
89. What? No, I'm not.
Copy !req
90. Aang still needs to master
all four elements.
Copy !req
91. Why? With the kind of power he possesses,
Copy !req
92. Power enough to destroy hundreds
of battleships in a matter of minutes,
Copy !req
93. He could defeat the Fire Lord now.
Copy !req
94. But, sir, the thing is,
Aang can only do those things
Copy !req
95. when he's in the Avatar state.
Copy !req
96. See, it's this special state where―
Copy !req
97. I'm well aware.
Your eyes and tattoos glow,
Copy !req
98. and you're able to summon
unbelievable power.
Copy !req
99. Without you, we'd be slaughtered
before we even reach their shores.
Copy !req
100. But with you leading the way,
as the ultimate weapon,
Copy !req
101. we could cut a swath right through
to the heart of the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
102. Right, but I don't know how
to get in or out of the Avatar state,
Copy !req
103. much less what to do once I'm there.
Copy !req
104. So it's decided, then.
Copy !req
105. I'll help you figure out
how to get into the Avatar state,
Copy !req
106. and then you'll face your destiny.
Copy !req
107. No. Nothing's decided.
Copy !req
108. We already have a plan.
Copy !req
109. Aang's pursuing his destiny his way.
Copy !req
110. Well, while you take your time
learning the elements,
Copy !req
111. the war goes on.
Copy !req
112. May I show you something?
Copy !req
113. That's the infirmary.
Copy !req
114. And those soldiers
are the lucky ones. They came back.
Copy !req
115. Every day the Fire Nation takes lives.
Copy !req
116. People are dying, Aang.
Copy !req
117. You could end it now.
Copy !req
118. Think about it.
Copy !req
119. Almost perfect.
Copy !req
120. One hair out of place.
Copy !req
121. Almost isn't good enough.
Copy !req
122. General Fong?
Copy !req
123. Come in, Aang.
Have you thought about our discussion?
Copy !req
124. I'm in.
Copy !req
125. I'll fight the Fire Lord.
Copy !req
126. I told the general I'd help him
Copy !req
127. by going into the Avatar state.
Copy !req
128. Aang, no. This is not the right way.
Copy !req
129. Why not? Remember when he took out
the fire navy? He was incredible.
Copy !req
130. There's a right way to do this―
Copy !req
131. Practice, study, and discipline.
Copy !req
132. Or just glow it up
and stop that Fire Lord.
Copy !req
133. If you two meatheads want to throw away
everything we've worked for, fine.
Copy !req
134. Go ahead and glow it up.
Copy !req
135. Katara, I'm just being realistic!
Copy !req
136. I don't have time
to do this the right way.
Copy !req
137. This rare chi-enhancing tea
is a natural stimulant.
Copy !req
138. In an ordinary warrior,
it improves strength and energy tenfold.
Copy !req
139. In you, it may induce the Avatar state.
Copy !req
140. Tenfold energy, huh?
Copy !req
141. Is it working? Is it working?
Copy !req
142. I can't tell! Somebody tell me
if I'm in the Avatar state
Copy !req
143. 'Cause I don't have a good view
of myself. Am I talking loud?
Copy !req
144. I guess he could talk
the Fire Lord to death.
Copy !req
145. Uh!
Copy !req
146. Maybe I can shock you
into the Avatar state.
Copy !req
147. I love surprises.
Copy !req
148. - Aah!
Copy !req
149. Still not glowing.
Copy !req
150. Uh! Uh! Aah!
Copy !req
151. You are wearing a ceremonial
piece of clothing
Copy !req
152. from each of the bending nations.
Copy !req
153. Now, I will join
the four elements into one.
Copy !req
154. Water, earth, fire, air!
Copy !req
155. Four elements together as one.
Copy !req
156. This is just mud.
Copy !req
157. So, do you feel anything?
Copy !req
158. We have to find a way.
Copy !req
159. Look at these magnificent shells.
Copy !req
160. I'll enjoy these keepsakes
for years to come.
Copy !req
161. We don't need any more useless things.
Copy !req
162. You forget,
we have to carry everything ourselves now.
Copy !req
163. Hello, brother, uncle.
Copy !req
164. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
165. In my country, we exchange
a pleasant hello before asking questions.
Copy !req
166. Have you become uncivilized
so soon, Zu Zu?
Copy !req
167. Don't call me that.
Copy !req
168. To what do we owe this honor?
Copy !req
169. Hmm, must be a family trait.
Copy !req
170. Both of you so quick to get to the point.
Copy !req
171. I've come with a message from home.
Copy !req
172. Father's changed his mind. Family is
suddenly very important to him.
Copy !req
173. He's heard rumors
of plans to overthrow him―
Copy !req
174. Treacherous plots.
Copy !req
175. Family are the only ones
you can really trust.
Copy !req
176. Father regrets your banishment.
He wants you home.
Copy !req
177. Did you hear me? You should be happy,
excited, grateful.
Copy !req
178. I just gave you great news.
Copy !req
179. I'm sure your brother
simply needs a moment―
Copy !req
180. Don't interrupt, uncle.
Copy !req
181. I still haven't heard my thank you.
Copy !req
182. I'm not a messenger.
I didn't have to come all this way.
Copy !req
183. Father regrets? He wants me back?
Copy !req
184. I can see you need time to take this in.
Copy !req
185. I'll come to call on you tomorrow.
Good evening.
Copy !req
186. Can we talk about something?
Sure.
Copy !req
187. Do you remember
when we were at the air temple
Copy !req
188. and you found Monk Gyatso's skeleton?
Copy !req
189. It must have been so horrible
and traumatic for you.
Copy !req
190. I saw you get so upset
that you weren't even you anymore.
Copy !req
191. I'm not saying the Avatar state
doesn't have incredible and helpful power.
Copy !req
192. But you have to understand,
for the people who love you,
Copy !req
193. watching you be in that much
rage and pain is really scary.
Copy !req
194. I'm really glad you told me that,
Copy !req
195. But I still need to do this.
Copy !req
196. I don't understand.
Copy !req
197. No, you don't.
Copy !req
198. Every day, more and more people die.
Copy !req
199. I'm already a hundred years late.
Copy !req
200. Defeating the Fire Lord
is the only way to stop this war.
Copy !req
201. I have to try it.
Copy !req
202. I can't watch you do this to yourself.
Copy !req
203. I'm not coming tomorrow.
Copy !req
204. Good night.
Copy !req
205. Good night.
Copy !req
206. We're going home
Copy !req
207. after three long years.
Copy !req
208. It's unbelievable.
Copy !req
209. It is unbelievable.
Copy !req
210. I have never known my brother
to regret anything.
Copy !req
211. Did you listen to Azula?
Copy !req
212. Father's realized how important
family is to him.
Copy !req
213. He cares about me.
Copy !req
214. I care about you.
Copy !req
215. I mean, if Ozai wants you back, well,
Copy !req
216. I think it may not be
for the reasons you imagine.
Copy !req
217. You don't know
how my father feels about me.
Copy !req
218. You don't know anything.
Copy !req
219. Zuko, I only meant that in our family,
Copy !req
220. things are not always what they seem.
Copy !req
221. I think you are exactly what you seem―
Copy !req
222. A lazy, mistrustful, shallow old man
Copy !req
223. who's always been jealous of his brother.
Copy !req
224. Aah!
Copy !req
225. Sokka, Sokka, wake up.
Copy !req
226. Huh?
Copy !req
227. I don't think we should be trying
to bring on the Avatar state.
Copy !req
228. - You sure?
- Yes.
Copy !req
229. Ok.
Copy !req
230. Do you think the general will be mad?
Copy !req
231. What can he say? You're the Avatar.
Copy !req
232. Who knows better than you?
Copy !req
233. Wait!
Copy !req
234. Don't leave without me.
Copy !req
235. Uncle, you've changed your mind.
Copy !req
236. Family sticks together, right?
Copy !req
237. We're finally going home.
Copy !req
238. The thing is, I don't think we'll
ever be able to trigger it on purpose.
Copy !req
239. So I guess that's it.
Copy !req
240. Sure I can't change your mind?
Copy !req
241. I'm sure. I can only reach the Avatar
state when I'm in genuine danger.
Copy !req
242. I see. I was afraid you'd say that.
Copy !req
243. Aang!
Copy !req
244. Men, attack the Avatar.
Copy !req
245. What are you doing?
Copy !req
246. I believe we are about to get results.
Copy !req
247. I'm not your enemy. I won't fight you.
Copy !req
248. You can't run forever!
Copy !req
249. You can't fight forever.
Copy !req
250. Brother, uncle,
Copy !req
251. welcome.
Copy !req
252. I'm so glad you decided to come.
Copy !req
253. Are we ready to depart, your highness?
Copy !req
254. Set our course for home, captain.
Copy !req
255. Home.
Copy !req
256. You heard the princess. Raise the anchors.
Copy !req
257. We're taking the prisoners home.
Copy !req
258. Your highness, I...
Copy !req
259. You lied to me.
Copy !req
260. Like I've never done that before.
Copy !req
261. Aah!
Copy !req
262. I wonder what crazy thing
they're trying now.
Copy !req
263. Maybe we should just make sure Aang's ok.
Copy !req
264. What's going on?
Copy !req
265. The general's gone crazy.
Copy !req
266. He's trying to force Aang
into the Avatar state.
Copy !req
267. Good bird-horse thingy.
Copy !req
268. Maybe you can avoid me, but she can't.
Copy !req
269. I can't move.
Copy !req
270. Don't hurt her.
Copy !req
271. Katara, no!
Copy !req
272. Whoa!
Copy !req
273. Stop this! You have to let her go.
Copy !req
274. You could save her
if you were in the Avatar state.
Copy !req
275. I'm trying. I'm trying.
Copy !req
276. Aang, I'm sinking!
Copy !req
277. I don't see glowing.
Copy !req
278. Aah! Please.
Copy !req
279. You don't need to do this.
Copy !req
280. Apparently, I do.
Copy !req
281. Aah!
Copy !req
282. It worked.
Copy !req
283. It worked!
Copy !req
284. Aah!
Copy !req
285. Zuko, let's go!
Copy !req
286. Hyah! Hyah! Hyah...
Copy !req
287. You know, father blames uncle
for the loss at the North Pole.
Copy !req
288. And he considers you a miserable failure
for not finding the Avatar.
Copy !req
289. Why would he want you back home,
Copy !req
290. except to lock you up
where you can no longer embarrass him?
Copy !req
291. Aah! Uh!
Copy !req
292. Avatar Aang, can you hear me?
Copy !req
293. Your friend is safe.
Copy !req
294. It was just a trick
to trigger the Avatar state.
Copy !req
295. And it worked!
Copy !req
296. It's time you learned.
Copy !req
297. The Avatar state is a defense mechanism
Copy !req
298. designed to empower you with the skills
and knowledge of all the past Avatars.
Copy !req
299. The glow is the combination
of all your past lives
Copy !req
300. focusing their energy through your body.
Copy !req
301. In the Avatar state,
Copy !req
302. you are at your most powerful...
Copy !req
303. But you're also at your most vulnerable.
Copy !req
304. What do you mean?
Copy !req
305. If you are killed in the Avatar state,
Copy !req
306. The reincarnation cycle will be broken
Copy !req
307. and the Avatar will cease to exist.
Copy !req
308. I'm sorry, Katara. I hope you never
have to see me like that again.
Copy !req
309. Ha! Are you joking?
That was almost perfect.
Copy !req
310. We just have to find out a way
to control you when you're like that.
Copy !req
311. You're out of your mind.
Copy !req
312. I guess we'll figure it out
on the way to the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
313. Anybody got a problem with that?
Copy !req
314. Do you still want an escort to Omashu?
Copy !req
315. I think we're all set.
Copy !req
316. Anyone who harbors these traitors
Copy !req
317. will face the wrath of the Fire Lord.
Copy !req
318. There will be no place left to hide.
Copy !req
319. I think we're safe here.
Copy !req
