0:02 - 0:04 Water...
0:05 - 0:07 Earth...
0:07 - 0:09 Fire...
0:09 - 0:12 Air.
0:13 - 0:16 My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days.
0:16 - 0:18 A time of peace,
0:18 - 0:20 when the Avatar kept balance between Water Tribes,
0:21 - 0:22 Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation,
0:22 - 0:24 and Air Nomads.
0:24 - 0:27 But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
0:31 - 0:34 Only the Avatar mastered all four elements.
0:35 - 0:38 Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders.
0:38 - 0:41 But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
0:44 - 0:46 A hundred years have passed,
0:46 - 0:48 and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war.
0:50 - 0:52 Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe
0:52 - 0:55 journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation,
0:56 - 0:58 leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.
0:59 - 1:03 Some people believe that the Avatar Was never reborn into the Air Nomads,
1:03 - 1:05 and that the cycle is broken.
1:05 - 1:07 But I haven't lost hope.
1:07 - 1:09 I still believe that somehow
1:09 - 1:12 the Avatar will return to save the world.
1:58 - 2:00 It's not getting away from me this time.
2:00 - 2:01 Watch and learn, Katara.
2:01 - 2:03 This is how you catch a fish.
2:13 - 2:15 Sokka, look!
2:15 - 2:17 Shh, Katara.
2:17 - 2:19 You're gonna scare him away.
2:19 - 2:21 Mmm. I can already smell it cooking.
2:21 - 2:24 But, Sokka, I caught one.
2:26 - 2:27 Hey!
2:27 - 2:28 Aah!
2:29 - 2:30 Why is it that every time
2:30 - 2:32 you play with magic water,
2:32 - 2:33 I get soaked?
2:35 - 2:37 Oh. It's not magic. It's waterbending.
2:37 - 2:38 And it's―
2:38 - 2:41 Yeah, yeah. An ancient art unique to our culture,
2:41 - 2:42 Blah, blah, blah...
2:42 - 2:44 Look, I'm just saying that if I had weird powers,
2:44 - 2:46 I'd keep my weirdness to myself.
2:46 - 2:48 You're calling me weird?
2:48 - 2:50 I'm not the one who makes muscles at myself
2:50 - 2:53 every time I see my reflection in the water.
3:09 - 3:10 Watch out!
3:11 - 3:12 Aah! Go left!
3:12 - 3:13 Go left!
3:17 - 3:19 Aah!
3:19 - 3:20 Aah!
3:25 - 3:27 You call that left?
3:27 - 3:28 You don't like my steering.
3:28 - 3:31 Well, maybe you should have waterbended us out of the ice.
3:31 - 3:34 So it's my fault. I knew I should have left you home.
3:35 - 3:36 Leave it to a girl to screw things up.
3:39 - 3:43 You are the most sexist, immature, nutbrained―
3:43 - 3:46 Ah! I'm embarrassed to be related to you!
3:48 - 3:51 Ever since mom died, I've been doing all the work around camp,
3:51 - 3:53 while you've been off playing soldier.
3:54 - 3:55 Ah... Katara...
3:55 - 3:57 I even wash all the clothes!
3:57 - 4:00 Have you ever smelled your dirty socks?
4:00 - 4:01 Let me tell you.
4:01 - 4:02 Not pleasant!
4:03 - 4:05 Katara! Settle down!
4:05 - 4:08 No! That's it. I'm done helping you.
4:08 - 4:10 From now on, you're on your own!
4:12 - 4:13 Oh!
4:24 - 4:27 Okay. You've gone from weird to freakish, Katara.
4:27 - 4:29 You mean, I did that?
4:29 - 4:31 Yep. Congratulations.
5:02 - 5:03 Ah!
5:03 - 5:06 He's alive. We have to help.
5:06 - 5:08 Katara! Get back here!
5:08 - 5:10 We don't know what that thing is.
5:22 - 5:23 Ahh!
5:44 - 5:45 Finally.
5:45 - 5:48 Uncle, do you realize what this means?
5:48 - 5:50 I won't get to finish my game?
5:51 - 5:53 It means my search is about to come to an end.
5:54 - 5:55 Ah...
5:56 - 5:59 That light came from an incredibly powerful source.
5:59 - 6:00 It has to be him.
6:01 - 6:04 Or it's just the celestial lights.
6:04 - 6:06 We've been down this road before, Prince Zuko.
6:07 - 6:10 I don't want you to get too excited over nothing.
6:11 - 6:13 Please, sit.
6:13 - 6:18 Why don't you enjoy a cup of calming jasmine tea?
6:18 - 6:20 I don't need any calming tea!
6:20 - 6:22 I need to capture the Avatar!
6:22 - 6:24 Helmsman, head a course for the light.
6:44 - 6:45 Stop!
7:01 - 7:03 Stop it!
7:08 - 7:10 Mmm...
7:10 - 7:11 Ah!
7:14 - 7:17 I need to ask you something.
7:17 - 7:18 What?
7:18 - 7:20 Please, come closer.
7:20 - 7:22 What is it?
7:23 - 7:25 Will you go penguin-sailing with me?
7:25 - 7:27 Uh... Sure.
7:27 - 7:29 I guess.
7:30 - 7:32 Uh! What's going on here?
7:32 - 7:33 You tell us!
7:33 - 7:35 How did you get in the ice?
7:35 - 7:36 And why aren't you frozen?
7:36 - 7:37 I'm not sure.
7:43 - 7:44 Ah!
7:45 - 7:47 Appa, are you all right?
7:48 - 7:50 Wake up, buddy.
7:59 - 8:02 Ha ha! You're okay.
8:08 - 8:09 What is that thing?
8:09 - 8:11 This is Appa, my flying bison.
8:11 - 8:14 Right. And this is Katara, my flying sister.
8:18 - 8:20 Look out!
8:24 - 8:26 Ugh! Ugh!
8:26 - 8:28 Don't worry. It'll wash out.
8:28 - 8:30 Ugh!
8:30 - 8:32 So, do you guys live around here?
8:32 - 8:35 Don't answer that. Did you see that crazy bolt of light?
8:35 - 8:37 He was probably trying to signal the Fire Navy.
8:37 - 8:40 Oh, yeah. I'm sure he's a spy for the Fire Navy.
8:40 - 8:43 You can tell by that evil look in his eye.
8:45 - 8:47 The paranoid one is my brother Sokka.
8:47 - 8:49 You never told us your name.
8:49 - 8:51 I'm― Ah! Ah!
8:51 - 8:54 Ah! Ah! Ah!
8:54 - 8:57 Ah-choo!
9:04 - 9:06 I'm Aang.
9:07 - 9:10 You just sneezed and flew ten feet in the air.
9:10 - 9:11 Really? It felt higher than that.
9:12 - 9:14 You're an airbender.
9:14 - 9:15 Sure am.
9:15 - 9:18 Giant light beams, flying bison, airbenders―
9:18 - 9:20 I think I got midnight sun madness.
9:20 - 9:22 I'm going home to where stuff makes sense.
9:26 - 9:30 Well, if you guys are stuck, Appa and I can give you a lift.
9:33 - 9:34 We'd love a ride, thanks.
9:35 - 9:38 Oh, no! I am not getting on that fluffy snot monster.
9:38 - 9:41 Are you hoping some other kind of monster will come along
9:41 - 9:43 and give you a ride home?
9:43 - 9:45 You know, before you freeze to death.
9:46 - 9:47 Ah―
9:50 - 9:53 Okay! First-time flyers, hold on tight.
9:53 - 9:55 Appa, yip yip!
10:04 - 10:06 Come on, Appa, yip yip.
10:07 - 10:10 Wow, that was truly amazing.
10:10 - 10:11 Appa's just tired.
10:11 - 10:14 A little rest and he'll be soaring through the sky. You'll see.
10:18 - 10:20 Why are you smiling at me like that?
10:20 - 10:22 Oh. I was smiling?
10:38 - 10:40 I'm going to bed now.
10:43 - 10:46 Yep. A man needs his rest.
10:47 - 10:51 Prince Zuko, you need some sleep.
10:51 - 10:53 Even if you're right,
10:53 - 10:57 and the Avatar is alive, you won't find him.
10:58 - 11:04 Your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all tried and failed.
11:04 - 11:08 Because their honor didn't hinge on the Avatar's capture.
11:08 - 11:09 Mine does.
11:09 - 11:12 This coward's hundred years in hiding are over.
11:23 - 11:24 Hey.
11:25 - 11:27 Hey. What are you thinking about?
11:27 - 11:29 I guess I was wondering.
11:29 - 11:31 Your being an airbender and all...
11:31 - 11:33 If you had any idea what happened to the Avatar.
11:34 - 11:37 Uh... No. I didn't know him.
11:37 - 11:39 I mean, I knew people that knew him.
11:39 - 11:41 But I didn't. Sorry.
11:41 - 11:43 Okay. Just curious.
11:43 - 11:46 Good night. Sleep tight.
12:31 - 12:33 Aang. Aang, wake up!
12:33 - 12:34 Ah!
12:34 - 12:36 It's okay. We're in the village now.
12:36 - 12:38 Come on, get ready.
12:38 - 12:39 Everyone's waiting to meet you.
12:43 - 12:44 Oh!
12:47 - 12:48 Ahh!
12:54 - 12:57 Aang, this is the entire village.
12:57 - 13:00 Entire village, Aang.
13:03 - 13:06 Uh... Why are they all looking at me like that?
13:07 - 13:08 Did Appa sneeze on me?
13:08 - 13:11 Well, no one has seen an airbender in a hundred years.
13:11 - 13:13 We thought they were extinct.
13:13 - 13:16 Until my granddaughter and grandson found you.
13:16 - 13:18 Extinct?
13:18 - 13:19 Aang, this is my grandmother.
13:20 - 13:21 Call me Gran Gran.
13:22 - 13:24 What is this, a weapon?
13:24 - 13:26 You can't stab anything with this.
13:26 - 13:29 It's not for stabbing. It's for airbending.
13:29 - 13:31 Ah!
13:31 - 13:33 Magic trick, do it again!
13:33 - 13:35 Not magic, airbending.
13:35 - 13:39 It lets me control the air currents around my glider and fly.
13:39 - 13:41 You know, last time I checked,
13:41 - 13:42 humans can't fly.
13:43 - 13:44 Check again!
13:46 - 13:47 Ah!
13:47 - 13:49 Wow, he's flying.
13:53 - 13:54 He's amazing!
13:59 - 14:01 Unh!
14:06 - 14:08 Oh! My watchtower.
14:12 - 14:13 That was amazing.
14:17 - 14:18 Uh!
14:18 - 14:20 Great.
14:20 - 14:22 You're an airbender, Katara's a waterbender.
14:22 - 14:25 Together you can just waste time all day long.
14:25 - 14:26 You're a waterbender!
14:26 - 14:29 Well, sort of. Not yet.
14:29 - 14:30 All right. No more playing.
14:31 - 14:33 Come on, Katara. You have chores.
14:34 - 14:36 I told you. He's the real thing, Gran Gran.
14:36 - 14:38 I finally found a bender to teach me.
14:39 - 14:42 Katara, try not to put all your hopes in this boy.
14:42 - 14:44 But he's special. I can tell.
14:45 - 14:48 I sense he's filled with much wisdom.
14:48 - 14:52 See? Now my wand is stuck to my tongue.
14:58 - 15:00 Again.
15:00 - 15:03 Ah! Hiya!
15:04 - 15:06 No!
15:06 - 15:09 Power and firebending come from the breath,
15:09 - 15:11 not the muscles.
15:12 - 15:16 The breath becomes energy in the body.
15:16 - 15:20 The energy extends past your limbs and becomes fire!
15:20 - 15:22 Get it right this time.
15:23 - 15:26 Enough. I've been drilling this sequence all day.
15:26 - 15:28 Teach me the next set. I'm more than ready.
15:28 - 15:30 No! You're impatient.
15:31 - 15:33 You have yet to master your basics.
15:33 - 15:34 Drill it again!
15:35 - 15:36 Ahh! Hiya!
15:39 - 15:43 The sages tell us that the Avatar is the last airbender.
15:43 - 15:45 He must be over a hundred years old by now.
15:45 - 15:48 He's had a century to master the four elements.
15:48 - 15:51 I'll need more than basic firebending to defeat him.
15:51 - 15:54 You will teach me the advanced set!
15:55 - 16:00 Very well. But first, I must finish my roast duck.
16:01 - 16:02 Yum, yum, yum.
16:05 - 16:07 Now, men, it's important that you show no fear
16:07 - 16:09 when you face a firebender.
16:09 - 16:12 In the Water Tribe, we fight till the last man's standing.
16:13 - 16:16 For without courage, how can we call ourselves men?
16:19 - 16:20 I gotta pee.
16:20 - 16:23 Listen! Until your fathers return from the war,
16:23 - 16:26 they're counting on you to be the men of this tribe.
16:26 - 16:28 And that means no potty breaks.
16:28 - 16:29 But I really gotta go.
16:31 - 16:33 Okay. Who else has to go?
16:35 - 16:36 Oh!
16:37 - 16:39 Have you seen Aang?
16:39 - 16:41 Gran Gran said he disappeared over an hour ago.
16:42 - 16:44 Wow! Everything freezes in there.
16:46 - 16:48 Ah! Katara, get him out of here.
16:48 - 16:50 This lesson is for warriors only.
16:50 - 16:51 Wee!
16:52 - 16:53 Ha! Ha! Ha!
16:57 - 16:58 Stop! Stop it right now!
16:59 - 17:00 What's wrong with you?
17:01 - 17:03 We don't have time for fun and games with a war going on!
17:03 - 17:05 What war?
17:05 - 17:06 What are you talking about?
17:06 - 17:08 You're kidding, right?
17:08 - 17:10 Penguin!
17:17 - 17:19 He's kidding, right?
17:25 - 17:27 Aang!
17:28 - 17:30 Ha! Ha! Hey, come on, little guy.
17:30 - 17:32 Wanna go sledding? Unh!
17:34 - 17:36 I have a way with animals.
17:41 - 17:45 Aang, I'll help you catch a penguin, if you teach me waterbending.
17:46 - 17:47 You got a deal.
17:48 - 17:49 Just one little problem.
17:50 - 17:51 I'm an airbender, not a waterbender.
17:51 - 17:54 Isn't there someone in your tribe who can teach you?
17:55 - 17:59 No. You're looking at the only waterbender in the whole South Pole.
17:59 - 18:01 This isn't right.
18:01 - 18:02 A waterbender needs to master water.
18:04 - 18:05 What about the North Pole?
18:06 - 18:08 There's another water tribe up there, right?
18:08 - 18:10 Maybe they have waterbenders who could teach you.
18:10 - 18:12 Maybe, but we haven't had contact
18:12 - 18:15 with our sister tribe in a long time.
18:15 - 18:18 It's not exactly turn right at the second glacier.
18:18 - 18:20 It's on the other side of the world.
18:20 - 18:22 But you forget. I have a flying bison.
18:22 - 18:26 Appa and I can personally fly you to the North Pole.
18:26 - 18:28 Katara, we're gonna find you a master.
18:28 - 18:30 That's... I mean...
18:30 - 18:33 I don't know. I've never left home before.
18:33 - 18:34 Well, you think about it.
18:35 - 18:38 But in the meantime, can you teach me to catch one of these penguins?
18:39 - 18:42 Okay. Listen closely, my young pupil.
18:42 - 18:45 Catching penguins is an ancient and sacred art.
18:46 - 18:48 Observe.
18:51 - 18:54 Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
19:03 - 19:06 Ha! Ha! Yeah!
19:10 - 19:11 Whoo!
19:15 - 19:18 I haven't done this since I was a kid. You still are a kid!
19:40 - 19:42 Whoa...
19:42 - 19:44 What is that?
19:44 - 19:46 A Fire Navy ship,
19:46 - 19:49 and a very bad memory for my people.
19:52 - 19:53 Aang, stop.
19:53 - 19:55 We're not allowed to go near it.
19:55 - 19:57 The ship could be booby-trapped.
19:57 - 19:59 If you want to be a bender, you have to let go of fear.
20:47 - 20:50 This ship has haunted my tribe since Gran Gran was a little girl.
20:50 - 20:53 It was part of the Fire Nation's first attacks.
20:54 - 20:55 Okay. Back up.
20:56 - 20:57 I have friends all over the world,
20:58 - 20:59 even in the Fire Nation.
20:59 - 21:00 I've never seen any war.
21:00 - 21:03 Aang, how long were you in that iceberg?
21:03 - 21:06 I don't know. A few days maybe...
21:06 - 21:09 I think it was more like a hundred years.
21:10 - 21:11 What? That's impossible.
21:12 - 21:14 Do I look like a 112-year-old man to you?
21:14 - 21:15 Think about it.
21:15 - 21:17 The war is a century old.
21:17 - 21:20 You don't know about it, because somehow
21:20 - 21:22 you were in there that whole time.
21:23 - 21:24 It's the only explanation.
21:26 - 21:28 A hundred years.
21:29 - 21:30 I can't believe it.
21:30 - 21:32 I'm sorry, Aang.
21:32 - 21:35 Maybe, somehow, there's a bright side to all this.
21:35 - 21:37 I did get to meet you.
21:38 - 21:40 Come on. Let's get out of here.
21:47 - 21:50 Aang, let's head back. This place is creepy.
21:50 - 21:51 Huh?
21:54 - 21:56 What's that you said about booby traps?
22:01 - 22:02 Ah!
22:04 - 22:05 Uh-oh...
22:10 - 22:12 Hold on tight!
22:12 - 22:13 Ahh!
22:23 - 22:25 The last airbender.
22:26 - 22:28 Quite agile for his old age.
22:29 - 22:33 Wake my uncle! Tell him I found the Avatar.
22:39 - 22:41 As well as his hiding place.
