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, could stop them.
Copy !req
8. But when the world
needed him most, he vanished.
Copy !req
9. 100 years passed, and my brother
and I discovered the new Avatar,
Copy !req
10. an airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
11. And although his airbending
skills are great,
Copy !req
12. he has a lot to learn
before he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
13. Oof!
Copy !req
14. But I believe Aang can save the world.
Copy !req
15. Spare coins for weary travelers?
Copy !req
16. This is humiliating. We're royalty.
Copy !req
17. These people should be
giving us whatever we want.
Copy !req
18. They will, if you ask nicely.
Copy !req
19. Spare change for a hungry old man?
Copy !req
20. Aw, here you go.
Copy !req
21. The coin is appreciated,
but not as much as your smile.
Copy !req
22. How about some entertainment
in exchange for...
Copy !req
23. A gold piece?
Copy !req
24. We're not performers.
Copy !req
25. Not professional, anyway.
Copy !req
26. Come on, we're talking a gold piece here.
Copy !req
27. Let's see some action.
Copy !req
28. Dance.
Copy !req
29. Nothing like a fat man
dancing for his dinner.
Copy !req
30. Here you go.
Copy !req
31. Such a kind man.
Copy !req
32. Hey, you taking us down for a reason?
Copy !req
33. Aang, why are we going down?
Copy !req
34. What?
Copy !req
35. I didn't even notice.
Copy !req
36. Are you noticing now?
Copy !req
37. Is something wrong?
Copy !req
38. I know this is gonna sound weird,
Copy !req
39. but I think the swamp is... calling to me.
Copy !req
40. Is it telling you where we
can get something to eat?
Copy !req
41. No, I, I think it wants us
to land there.
Copy !req
42. No offense to the swamp,
Copy !req
43. but I don't see any land there to land on.
Copy !req
44. I don't know.
Copy !req
45. Bumi said to learn earthbending,
I would have to wait and listen.
Copy !req
46. And now, I'm actually hearing the earth.
Copy !req
47. Do you want me to ignore it?
Copy !req
48. - Yes.
- I don't know.
Copy !req
49. There's something ominous
about that place.
Copy !req
50. See? Even Appa and Momo
don't like it here.
Copy !req
51. Okay, since everyone feels so
strongly about this, bye, swamp.
Copy !req
52. Yip yip!
Copy !req
53. You better throw in an extra yip.
We gotta move.
Copy !req
54. Ahh!
Copy !req
55. Where's Appa and Momo?
Copy !req
56. Appa!
Copy !req
57. Momo!
Copy !req
58. Sokka, you've got an elbow leech.
Copy !req
59. Where, where?
Copy !req
60. Where do you think?
Copy !req
61. Why do things keep attaching to me?
Copy !req
62. You couldn't find them?
Copy !req
63. No...
Copy !req
64. And the tornado, it just disappeared.
Copy !req
65. We better speed things up.
Copy !req
66. Maybe we should be a little
nicer to the swamp.
Copy !req
67. Aang, these are just plants.
Copy !req
68. Do you want me to say please and thank you
Copy !req
69. as I swing my machete back and forth?
Copy !req
70. Maybe you should listen to Aang.
Copy !req
71. Something about this place feels... alive.
Copy !req
72. I'm sure there are lots of things
that are alive here.
Copy !req
73. And if we don't want to wind
up getting eaten by them,
Copy !req
74. we need to find Appa as fast as we can.
Copy !req
75. Appa!
Copy !req
76. Momo?
Copy !req
77. There's no way they can hear us
and no way we can see them.
Copy !req
78. We'll have to make camp for the night.
Copy !req
79. - Ah, ugh!
Copy !req
80. What was that?
Copy !req
81. Nothing, just swamp gas.
Copy !req
82. Look, there's nothing
supernatural going on here.
Copy !req
83. Ugh...
Copy !req
84. I think we should build a fire.
Copy !req
85. Sokka, the longer we're here,
Copy !req
86. the more I think you
shouldn't be doing that.
Copy !req
87. No, I asked the swamp.
Copy !req
88. It said this was fine. Right, swamp?
Copy !req
89. No problem, Sokka.
Copy !req
90. Does anyone else get the feeling
that we're being watched?
Copy !req
91. Please, we're all alone out here.
Copy !req
92. Except for them.
Copy !req
93. Right, except for them.
Copy !req
94. Hagh!
Copy !req
95. Ahh!
Copy !req
96. Ahh!
Copy !req
97. Ugh.
Copy !req
98. Ahh!
Copy !req
99. Ugh...
Copy !req
100. Guys?
Copy !req
101. What'd you reckon
make a track like that, Tho?
Copy !req
102. Don't know, Due.
Copy !req
103. Something with six legs,
pretty big 'uns, too.
Copy !req
104. Leaves a nice, wide trail to follow.
Copy !req
105. You know what's at the end of that trail?
Copy !req
106. Dinner.
Copy !req
107. Aang?
Copy !req
108. Sokka?
Copy !req
109. Hello?
Copy !req
110. Hello.
Copy !req
111. Can you help me?
Copy !req
112. Mom?
Copy !req
113. Mom!
Copy !req
114. I can't believe...
Copy !req
115. Aang!
Copy !req
116. Stupid swamp. Dumb, ugly vines.
Copy !req
117. Katara!
Copy !req
118. You think you're so tough, huh?
Copy !req
119. Ah!
Copy !req
120. Hello?
Copy !req
121. Yue?
Copy !req
122. This is just a trick of the light...
Copy !req
123. Swamp gas.
Copy !req
124. I hit my head running away last night.
Copy !req
125. I'm going crazy.
Copy !req
126. You didn't protect me.
You didn't protect me.
Copy !req
127. Ah!
Copy !req
128. Katara!
Copy !req
129. Appa!
Copy !req
130. Hello?
Copy !req
131. Who are you?
Copy !req
132. Hey!
Copy !req
133. Come back.
Copy !req
134. Lookee there, Tho.
Copy !req
135. Is that a little hairy
fella riding that thing?
Copy !req
136. No, that's what they call a "Iemu."
Copy !req
137. Saw one at a traveling show once.
Real smart, they say.
Copy !req
138. Bet he tastes a lot like possum-chicken.
Copy !req
139. You think everything tastes
like possum-chicken.
Copy !req
140. Come on, now, fellas,
just a little closer.
Copy !req
141. Nice and easy.
Copy !req
142. Nothin' to worry about.
Copy !req
143. We just fixin' to eat ya.
Copy !req
144. What'd ya say that fer?
Copy !req
145. Well, we are.
Copy !req
146. But you don't have to tell them that.
Copy !req
147. How'd I know they'd understand me?
Copy !req
148. Come on.
Copy !req
149. Who are you?
Copy !req
150. Ahh!
Copy !req
151. Ugh.
Copy !req
152. What do you guys think you're doing?
Copy !req
153. I've been looking all over for you.
Copy !req
154. Well, I've been wandering
around looking for you.
Copy !req
155. I was chasing some girl.
Copy !req
156. - What girl?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
157. I heard laughing, and I saw
some girl in a fancy dress.
Copy !req
158. Well, there must be a tea party here,
Copy !req
159. and we just didn't get our invitations.
Copy !req
160. I thought I saw Mom.
Copy !req
161. Look, we were all just scared and hungry,
Copy !req
162. and our minds were playing tricks on us.
Copy !req
163. That's why we all saw things out here.
Copy !req
164. You saw something, too?
Copy !req
165. I thought I saw Yue.
Copy !req
166. But that doesn't prove anything.
Copy !req
167. Look, I think about her all the time.
Copy !req
168. And you saw Mom, someone you miss a lot.
Copy !req
169. What about me?
Copy !req
170. I didn't know the girl I saw.
Copy !req
171. And all our visions led us right here.
Copy !req
172. Okay, so where's here,
the middle of the swamp?
Copy !req
173. Yeah...
Copy !req
174. The center.
Copy !req
175. It's the heart of the swamp.
Copy !req
176. It's been calling us here.
Copy !req
177. I knew it.
Copy !req
178. It's just a tree. It can't call anyone.
Copy !req
179. For the last time,
there's nothing after us,
Copy !req
180. and there's nothing
magical happening here.
Copy !req
181. Ahh!
Copy !req
182. Ah!
Copy !req
183. Ugh!
Copy !req
184. - Ahh!
- Unh!
Copy !req
185. Ah!
Copy !req
186. Now, what would a "Iemu" need a shirt fer?
Copy !req
187. Ahh!
Copy !req
188. Ugh!
Copy !req
189. Ugh!
Copy !req
190. Ah!
Copy !req
191. Ugh.
Copy !req
192. Ugh!
Copy !req
193. There's someone in there!
He's bending the vines.
Copy !req
194. Ah!
Copy !req
195. Why did you call me here
if you just wanted to kill us?
Copy !req
196. Wait!
Copy !req
197. I didn't call you here.
Copy !req
198. We were flying over, and I heard
something calling to me,
Copy !req
199. telling me to land.
Copy !req
200. He's the Avatar.
Copy !req
201. Stuff like that happens to us a lot.
Copy !req
202. The Avatar?
Copy !req
203. Come with me.
Copy !req
204. So who are you, then?
Copy !req
205. I protect the swamp from
folks that want to hurt it,
Copy !req
206. like this fellow with his big knife.
Copy !req
207. See?
Copy !req
208. Completely reasonable. Not a monster,
Copy !req
209. just a regular guy defending his home.
Copy !req
210. Nothing mystical about it.
Copy !req
211. Oh, the swamp is a mystical place,
all right.
Copy !req
212. It's sacred.
Copy !req
213. I reached enlightenment right here,
under the banyan grove tree.
Copy !req
214. I heard it calling me, just like you did.
Copy !req
215. Sure you did. It seems real chatty.
Copy !req
216. See, this whole swamp
is actually just one tree
Copy !req
217. spread out over miles.
Copy !req
218. Branches spread and sink and take root
Copy !req
219. and then spread some more...
Copy !req
220. One big, living organism,
Copy !req
221. just like the entire world.
Copy !req
222. I get how the tree is one big thing,
but the whole world?
Copy !req
223. Sure.
Copy !req
224. You think you're any different
Copy !req
225. from me or your friends or this tree?
Copy !req
226. If you listen hard enough,
Copy !req
227. you can hear every living thing
breathing together.
Copy !req
228. You can feel everything growing.
Copy !req
229. We are all living together,
even if most folks don't act like it.
Copy !req
230. We all have the same roots,
Copy !req
231. and we are all branches of the same tree.
Copy !req
232. But what did our visions mean?
Copy !req
233. In the swamp, we see visions
of people we've lost,
Copy !req
234. people we loved, folks we think are gone.
Copy !req
235. But the swamp tells us they're not.
We're still connected to 'em.
Copy !req
236. Time is an illusion, and so is death.
Copy !req
237. But what about my vision?
Copy !req
238. It was someone I had never met.
Copy !req
239. You're the Avatar. You tell me.
Copy !req
240. Time is an illusion...
Copy !req
241. So, it's someone I will meet.
Copy !req
242. Sorry to interrupt the lesson,
but we still need to find Appa and Momo.
Copy !req
243. I think I know how to find them.
Copy !req
244. Everything is connected.
Copy !req
245. Come on, we've gotta hurry!
Copy !req
246. Appa!
Copy !req
247. Oh!
Copy !req
248. We're under attack!
Copy !req
249. Hey, you guys are waterbenders.
Copy !req
250. You, too?
Copy !req
251. That means we're kin.
Copy !req
252. Hey, Huu. How you been?
Copy !req
253. You know, scared some folks,
swung some vines... The usual.
Copy !req
254. Huu?
Copy !req
255. How you like that possum-chicken?
Copy !req
256. Tastes just like arctic hen.
Copy !req
257. So why were you guys
so interested in eating Appa?
Copy !req
258. You've got plenty of those
big things wandering around.
Copy !req
259. You want me to eat ol' Slim?
Copy !req
260. He's like a member of the family.
Copy !req
261. Nice Slim.
Copy !req
262. - Ah!
Copy !req
263. Oh, he don't eat no bugs.
Copy !req
264. That's people food.
Copy !req
265. Where'd you say you was from?
Copy !req
266. The South Pole.
Copy !req
267. Didn't know there was
waterbenders anywhere but here.
Copy !req
268. They got a nice swamp there, do they?
Copy !req
269. No, it's all ice and snow.
Copy !req
270. Hmm, no wonder you left.
Copy !req
271. Well, I hope you realize now
Copy !req
272. that nothing strange was going on here.
Copy !req
273. Just a bunch of greasy people
living in a swamp.
Copy !req
274. What about the visions?
Copy !req
275. I told you, we were hungry.
Copy !req
276. I'm eating a giant bug.
Copy !req
277. Mmm-ugh.
Copy !req
278. But what about when the tree showed me
where Appa and Momo were?
Copy !req
279. That's Avatar stuff, that doesn't count.
Copy !req
280. The only thing I can't figure out
Copy !req
281. is how you made the tornado
that sucked us down.
Copy !req
282. I can't do anything like that.
Copy !req
283. I just bend the water in the plants.
Copy !req
284. Well, no accounting for weather.
Copy !req
285. Still, there's absolutely
nothing mysterious about the swamp.
Copy !req
286. Who's there?
Copy !req
287. Whoa!
Copy !req
288. Ugh...
Copy !req
