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