0:02 - 0:03 Water...
0:04 - 0:06 Earth...
0:06 - 0:08 Fire...
0:08 - 0:10 Air...
0:11 - 0:14 Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
0:15 - 0:18 Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
0:19 - 0:20 Only the avatar,
0:20 - 0:22 master of all four elements,
0:22 - 0:23 could stop them.
0:23 - 0:25 But when the world needed him most,
0:25 - 0:26 he vanished.
0:27 - 0:29 A hundred years passed, and my brother and I
0:29 - 0:30 discovered the new Avatar,
0:31 - 0:32 an airbender named Aang.
0:32 - 0:35 And although his airbending skills were great,
0:35 - 0:36 he has a lot to learn before
0:36 - 0:38 he's ready to save anyone.
0:39 - 0:42 But I believe Aang can save the world.
1:08 - 1:11 Those clouds look so soft, don't they?
1:11 - 1:13 Like you could just jump down
1:13 - 1:15 and you'd land in a big, soft, cottony heap.
1:15 - 1:17 Maybe you should give it a try.
1:17 - 1:18 You're hilarious.
1:18 - 1:20 I'll try it!
1:20 - 1:21 Ha ha ha!
1:23 - 1:25 Yeah!
1:30 - 1:32 Turns out, clouds are made of water.
1:37 - 1:39 Hey, what is that?
1:44 - 1:45 It's like a scar.
1:49 - 1:51 Listen.
1:51 - 1:53 It's so quiet.
1:53 - 1:55 There's no life anywhere.
1:55 - 1:57 Aang, are you ok?
1:58 - 1:59 Fire Nation!
1:59 - 2:01 Those evil savages make me sick.
2:01 - 2:02 They have no respect for―
2:02 - 2:03 Shh.
2:03 - 2:05 What, I'm not allowed to be angry?
2:10 - 2:12 Why would anyone do this?
2:12 - 2:14 How could I let this happen?
2:14 - 2:16 Aang, you didn't let this happen.
2:17 - 2:18 It has nothing to do with you.
2:18 - 2:20 Yes, it does.
2:20 - 2:22 It's the avatar's job to protect nature,
2:22 - 2:24 but I don't know how to do my job.
2:24 - 2:26 That's why we're going to the North Pole―
2:26 - 2:28 To find you a teacher.
2:28 - 2:30 Yeah. A waterbending teacher.
2:30 - 2:33 But there's no one who can teach me how to be the Avatar.
2:33 - 2:36 Monk Gyatso said that Avatar Roku would help me.
2:36 - 2:38 The Avatar before you?
2:38 - 2:39 He died over a hundred years ago.
2:39 - 2:41 How are you supposed to talk to him?
2:41 - 2:43 I don't know.
2:48 - 2:49 Uncle, it's time to leave.
2:49 - 2:52 Where are you? Uncle Iroh!
2:52 - 2:53 Over here.
2:54 - 2:55 Uncle?
2:55 - 2:56 We need to move on.
2:56 - 2:58 We're closing in on the Avatar's trail,
2:58 - 3:00 and I don't want to lose him.
3:01 - 3:03 You look tired, Prince Zuko.
3:03 - 3:07 Why don't you join me in these hot springs
3:07 - 3:09 and soak away your troubles?
3:10 - 3:12 My troubles cannot be soaked away.
3:12 - 3:13 It's time to go!
3:13 - 3:16 You should take your teacher's advice
3:16 - 3:18 and relax a little.
3:18 - 3:21 The temperature's just right.
3:22 - 3:24 I heated it myself.
3:27 - 3:29 Enough. We need to leave now.
3:29 - 3:30 Get out of the water!
3:30 - 3:32 Very well.
3:32 - 3:33 On second thought,
3:33 - 3:35 why don't you take another few minutes?
3:35 - 3:37 But be back at the ship in half an hour,
3:37 - 3:38 or I'm leaving without you.
3:38 - 3:40 Ahh.
3:42 - 3:43 Hey, Aang.
3:43 - 3:44 Are you ready to be cheered up?
3:45 - 3:46 No.
3:46 - 3:47 Ow!
3:48 - 3:50 Hey, how is that cheering me up?
3:52 - 3:53 Cheered me up.
3:53 - 3:54 Ow!
3:54 - 3:56 Yeah, I probably deserved that.
3:57 - 3:59 These acorns are everywhere, Aang.
4:00 - 4:02 That means the forest will grow back.
4:02 - 4:05 Every one of these will be a tall oak tree someday,
4:05 - 4:06 and all the birds and animals
4:06 - 4:08 that lived here will come back.
4:11 - 4:12 Thanks, Katara.
4:15 - 4:17 Hey, who are you?
4:17 - 4:19 When I saw the flying bison,
4:19 - 4:21 I thought it was impossible,
4:21 - 4:23 but those markings...
4:24 - 4:26 Are you the Avatar, child?
4:29 - 4:31 My village desperately needs your help.
4:45 - 4:49 This young person is the Avatar.
4:49 - 4:52 So the rumors of your return are true.
4:52 - 4:54 It is the greatest honor of a lifetime
4:54 - 4:56 to be in your presence.
4:56 - 4:58 Nice to meet you, too.
5:00 - 5:02 So, is there something I can help you with?
5:02 - 5:04 I'm not sure.
5:05 - 5:06 Our village is in crisis.
5:06 - 5:08 He's our only hope.
5:09 - 5:11 For the last few days at sunset,
5:12 - 5:15 a spirit monster comes and attacks our village.
5:15 - 5:17 He is Hei Bai,
5:17 - 5:19 the black and white spirit.
5:20 - 5:21 Why is it attacking you?
5:21 - 5:23 We do not know.
5:23 - 5:25 But each of the last three nights,
5:25 - 5:27 he has abducted one of our own.
5:27 - 5:28 We are especially fearful
5:28 - 5:30 because the winter solstice draws near.
5:30 - 5:32 What happens then?
5:32 - 5:34 As the solstice approaches,
5:34 - 5:36 the natural world and the spirit world
5:37 - 5:39 grow closer and closer,
5:39 - 5:40 until the line between them
5:40 - 5:42 is blurred completely.
5:43 - 5:46 Hei Bai is already causing devastation and destruction.
5:46 - 5:48 Once the solstice is here,
5:48 - 5:51 there is no telling what will happen.
5:51 - 5:53 So what do you want me to do exactly?
5:53 - 5:55 Who better to resolve a crisis
5:55 - 5:58 between our world and the spirit world
5:58 - 6:00 than the Avatar himself?
6:01 - 6:02 You are the great bridge
6:02 - 6:04 between man and spirits.
6:04 - 6:07 Right. That's me.
6:07 - 6:09 Hey, great bridge guy.
6:09 - 6:10 Can I talk to you over here for a second?
6:12 - 6:15 Aang, you seem a little unsure about all this.
6:16 - 6:18 Yeah. That might be because I don't know anything at all
6:18 - 6:19 about the spirit world.
6:21 - 6:23 It's not like there's someone to teach me this stuff.
6:24 - 6:26 So, can you help these people?
6:26 - 6:28 I have to try, don't I?
6:29 - 6:30 Maybe whatever I have to do will just...
6:30 - 6:31 Come to me.
6:33 - 6:35 I think you can do it, Aang.
6:36 - 6:38 Yeah.
6:38 - 6:40 We're all gonna get eaten by a spirit monster.
6:50 - 6:51 Who's there?
6:53 - 6:55 A meadow vole.
6:55 - 6:57 I should have known.
6:57 - 7:00 You startled me, little one.
7:02 - 7:06 Seems I dozed off and missed my nephew's deadline,
7:06 - 7:08 but it was a very sweet nap.
7:17 - 7:18 Uhh!
7:21 - 7:23 He's a Fire Nation soldier.
7:23 - 7:25 He's no ordinary soldier.
7:25 - 7:27 This is the Fire Lord's brother.
7:27 - 7:28 The Dragon of the West―
7:28 - 7:31 The once great General Iroh.
7:31 - 7:33 But now, he's our prisoner.
7:46 - 7:49 Hello? Spirit? Can you hear me?
7:49 - 7:51 This is the Avatar speaking.
7:51 - 7:54 I'm here to try to help stuff.
7:54 - 7:55 This isn't right.
7:55 - 7:57 We can't sit here and cower while Aang
7:57 - 7:59 waits for some monster to show up.
7:59 - 8:02 If anyone can save us, he can.
8:02 - 8:04 He still shouldn't have to face this alone.
8:11 - 8:12 The sun is set.
8:12 - 8:14 Where are you, Hei Bai?
8:15 - 8:17 Well, spirit, uh,
8:17 - 8:19 I hereby ask you
8:19 - 8:21 to please leave this village in peace.
8:25 - 8:29 Ok. Well, I guess that's settled, then.
8:49 - 8:53 You must be the Hei Bai spirit. My name is―
8:58 - 9:00 My name is Aang. I'm the avatar,
9:00 - 9:01 and I would like to help.
9:02 - 9:03 Hey, wait up!
9:14 - 9:15 Uh...
9:16 - 9:19 The avatar's methods are...
9:19 - 9:20 Unusual.
9:20 - 9:21 It doesn't seem too interested
9:21 - 9:22 in what he's saying.
9:22 - 9:24 Maybe we should go help him.
9:24 - 9:28 No. Only the Avatar stands a chance against the Hei Bai.
9:28 - 9:31 Aang will figure out the right thing to do, Sokka.
9:34 - 9:37 Please, would you stop destroying things and listen?
9:38 - 9:40 I'm just trying to do my job as spirit bridge.
9:41 - 9:42 Excuse me.
9:42 - 9:44 Would you please turn around?
9:44 - 9:47 I command you to turn around now!
9:48 - 9:49 Uhh!
9:52 - 9:53 That's it. He needs help.
9:53 - 9:55 Sokka! Wait!
9:56 - 9:57 It's not safe.
9:58 - 10:00 Hei Bai. Over here!
10:04 - 10:05 Sokka! Go back!
10:05 - 10:07 We'll fight him together, Aang.
10:07 - 10:09 I don't want to fight him unless I―
10:16 - 10:17 Sokka!
10:24 - 10:25 Uncle.
10:25 - 10:27 Uncle, where are you?
10:27 - 10:29 Sir, maybe he thought you left without him.
10:29 - 10:31 Something's not right here.
10:31 - 10:32 That pile of rocks.
10:33 - 10:36 It looks like there's been a landslide, sir.
10:36 - 10:38 Land doesn't slide uphill.
10:38 - 10:40 Those rocks didn't move naturally.
10:41 - 10:43 My uncle's been captured by earthbenders.
10:54 - 10:56 Aang! Over here!
11:03 - 11:04 Help!
11:04 - 11:06 Hang on, Sokka!
11:13 - 11:15 Aah!
11:15 - 11:16 Uhh!
11:24 - 11:25 Sokka!
11:28 - 11:29 I've failed.
11:44 - 11:45 Where are you taking me?
11:46 - 11:47 We're taking you to face justice.
11:47 - 11:48 Right.
11:49 - 11:51 But where, specifically?
11:51 - 11:54 A place you're quite familiar with, actually.
11:54 - 11:58 You once laid siege to it for 600 days,
11:58 - 12:00 but it would not yield to you.
12:00 - 12:04 Ah, the great city of Ba Sing Se.
12:05 - 12:07 It was greater than you were, apparently.
12:07 - 12:11 I acknowledge my defeat at Ba Sing Se.
12:11 - 12:14 After 600 days away from home,
12:14 - 12:18 my men were tired, and I was tired.
12:21 - 12:23 And I'm still tired.
12:44 - 12:45 I'm sure they'll be back.
12:45 - 12:46 I know.
12:49 - 12:51 You should get some rest.
12:51 - 12:53 Everything's gonna be ok.
12:55 - 12:57 Your brother is in good hands.
12:57 - 12:59 I would be shocked
12:59 - 13:01 if the Avatar returned without him.
13:01 - 13:04 Katara? Katara, I lost him.
13:07 - 13:09 The sun is rising.
13:10 - 13:12 Perhaps he will return soon.
13:12 - 13:14 What? No. I'm right here.
13:14 - 13:15 Grr!
13:23 - 13:25 I'm in the spirit world.
13:33 - 13:36 Ugh. Yep, that's Uncle Iroh.
13:40 - 13:43 I'll figure this out, Katara. I promise.
13:43 - 13:45 Like they said, I'm the bridge
13:45 - 13:46 between the worlds, right?
13:46 - 13:49 All I have to do is figure out what I have to do,
13:50 - 13:51 but once I do that, no problem.
13:54 - 13:55 Appa. Hey, buddy. I'm right here.
13:58 - 14:00 But I guess you can't see me, either.
14:02 - 14:04 It's ok, Appa. Don't worry.
14:04 - 14:06 I'm sure they're on their way back.
14:06 - 14:08 I bet they even found you a bunch of moon peaches,
14:08 - 14:10 for a treat.
14:12 - 14:14 What am I supposed to do?
14:15 - 14:17 Avatar Roku, how can I talk to you?
14:19 - 14:20 Sokka?
14:27 - 14:29 That's definitely not Sokka.
14:31 - 14:33 Uhh!
14:38 - 14:40 What?
14:40 - 14:42 I can't airbend in the spirit world.
14:58 - 15:00 You don't know where Sokka is, do you?
15:11 - 15:13 You're Avatar Roku's animal guide,
15:13 - 15:15 like Appa is to me.
15:15 - 15:17 I need to save my friend, and I don't know how.
15:18 - 15:20 Is there some way for me to talk to Roku?
15:25 - 15:26 I'll be back, Katara.
15:28 - 15:29 Take me to Roku.
15:45 - 15:46 Oh.
15:46 - 15:47 What's the problem?
15:48 - 15:49 Nothing.
15:50 - 15:53 Actually, there is a bit of a problem.
15:53 - 15:56 My old joints are feeling sore and achy,
15:57 - 15:59 and these shackles are too loose.
15:59 - 16:00 Too loose?
16:01 - 16:03 That's right. The cuffs are loose,
16:03 - 16:06 and they jangle around and bump my wrists.
16:06 - 16:08 It would help me if you would tighten them
16:08 - 16:11 so they wouldn't shake around so much.
16:11 - 16:12 Very well.
16:12 - 16:14 Corporal, tighten the prisoner's handcuffs.
16:21 - 16:23 Aah!
16:23 - 16:24 Aah!
16:27 - 16:28 Aah!
16:42 - 16:44 Hey! What are you doing?!
16:44 - 16:46 Aah!
16:52 - 16:53 I don't understand.
16:53 - 16:55 This is just a statue of Roku.
17:05 - 17:07 Is that what Roku wants to talk to me about?
17:07 - 17:08 A comet?
17:09 - 17:10 When can I talk to him?
17:38 - 17:40 It's a calendar,
17:40 - 17:42 and the light will reach Roku on the solstice.
17:43 - 17:45 So that's when I'll be able to speak to Roku?
17:47 - 17:49 But I can't wait that long.
17:49 - 17:51 I need to save Sokka now!
17:54 - 17:55 Ugh! Uhh!
17:56 - 17:57 Hyah!
18:05 - 18:07 He is too dangerous, captain.
18:07 - 18:09 We can't just carry him to the capital.
18:09 - 18:11 We have to do something now.
18:11 - 18:12 I agree.
18:12 - 18:13 He must be dealt with immediately
18:13 - 18:15 and severely.
18:15 - 18:16 Ptoh!
18:19 - 18:21 It's no use, Appa. I don't see them anywhere.
18:22 - 18:25 Our best hope is to go back to the village and wait.
18:33 - 18:34 The Avatar.
18:47 - 18:48 Whoa.
18:49 - 18:50 Aah!
19:18 - 19:20 You're back!
19:21 - 19:23 Where's Sokka?
19:24 - 19:25 I'm not sure.
19:31 - 19:33 These dangerous hands must be crushed.
19:39 - 19:40 Hyah!
19:42 - 19:43 Hyah!
19:44 - 19:46 Excellent form, Prince Zuko.
19:46 - 19:47 You taught me well.
19:48 - 19:49 Surrender yourselves.
19:49 - 19:51 It's five against two.
19:51 - 19:52 You're clearly outnumbered.
19:52 - 19:54 Uh, that's true,
19:55 - 19:57 but you are clearly outmatched.
19:58 - 19:59 Hy... Ah!
19:59 - 20:01 Yah! Yah!
20:03 - 20:04 Hyah! Hyah!
20:09 - 20:10 Hyah!
20:10 - 20:11 Uhh! Uhh!
20:17 - 20:18 Uhh!
20:18 - 20:20 Uhh! Uhh!
20:22 - 20:23 Yah!
20:26 - 20:27 Oh!
20:34 - 20:36 Now, would you please put on some clothes?
20:58 - 20:59 Aah!
20:59 - 21:01 Aang! What are you doing?!
21:01 - 21:02 Run!
21:20 - 21:22 You're the spirit of this forest.
21:22 - 21:23 Now I understand.
21:24 - 21:25 You're upset and angry
21:25 - 21:27 because your home was burned down.
21:28 - 21:29 When I saw the forest had burned,
21:29 - 21:30 I was sad and upset,
21:31 - 21:32 but my friend gave me hope
21:32 - 21:33 that the forest would grow back.
21:54 - 21:55 Sokka!
21:57 - 21:58 What happened?
21:58 - 22:01 You were trapped in the spirit world for 24 hours.
22:01 - 22:02 How are you feeling?
22:02 - 22:04 Like I seriously need to use the bathroom.
22:07 - 22:08 Thank you, Avatar.
22:08 - 22:10 If only there were a way
22:10 - 22:12 to repay you for what you've done.
22:12 - 22:14 You could give us some supplies and some money.
22:15 - 22:16 Sokka. What?
22:16 - 22:17 We need stuff.
22:18 - 22:22 It would be an honor to help you prepare for your journey.
22:22 - 22:24 I'm so proud of you, Aang.
22:24 - 22:26 You figured out what to do all on your own.
22:26 - 22:29 Actually, I did have a little help.
22:29 - 22:30 And there's something else.
22:34 - 22:35 What is it?
22:35 - 22:37 I need to talk to Roku,
22:37 - 22:38 and I think I found a way
22:38 - 22:39 to contact his spirit.
22:39 - 22:42 That's great. Creepy, but great.
22:42 - 22:44 There's a temple on a crescent-shaped island,
22:45 - 22:46 and if I go there on the solstice,
22:46 - 22:48 I'll be able to speak with him.
22:48 - 22:50 But the solstice is tomorrow.
22:50 - 22:53 Yeah, and there's one more problem.
22:53 - 22:54 The island is in the Fire Nation.
