0:02 - 0:04	Water...
0:04 - 0:06	Earth...
0:06 - 0:07	Fire...
0:09 - 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 - 0:22	Only the Avatar, 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 - 0:32	discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang.
0:32 - 0:35	And although his airbending skills were great,
0:35 - 0:38	he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
0:38 - 0:42	But I believe Aang can save the world.
1:01 - 1:03	Let's go, Appa! Come on, boy.
1:06 - 1:08	Look, I'm sorry, but Katara and Sokka
1:08 - 1:10	aren't coming to the Fire Nation with us.
1:10 - 1:13	If they got hurt, I'd never forgive myself.
1:13 - 1:16	So get your big butt off the ground and let's go!
1:16 - 1:17	Uhh...
1:17 - 1:18	Aah!
1:19 - 1:20	I think his big butt
1:20 - 1:21	is trying to tell you something.
1:21 - 1:23	Please don't go, Aang.
1:23 - 1:25	The world can't afford to lose you to the Fire Nation.
1:26 - 1:27	Neither can I.
1:32 - 1:34	But I have to talk to Avatar Roku
1:34 - 1:36	to find out what my vision means.
1:36 - 1:38	I need to get to the fire temple
1:38 - 1:39	before the sun sets on the solstice.
1:40 - 1:41	That's today!
1:44 - 1:47	We're not letting you go into the Fire Nation, Aang.
1:48 - 1:50	At least not without your friends.
1:50 - 1:51	We got your back.
1:54 - 1:55	Ew!
1:55 - 1:58	It's a long journey to the crescent island.
1:58 - 2:00	You'll have to fly fast to have any chance
2:00 - 2:02	of making it before sundown.
2:02 - 2:03	Good luck.
2:03 - 2:04	Thank you for your―
2:05 - 2:06	Go!
2:10 - 2:11	Ah.
2:12 - 2:13	Having trouble sleeping?
2:13 - 2:14	Uh!
2:16 - 2:18	Seen the Avatar lately?
2:27 - 2:29	Come on, boy. We've got a long way to go.
2:29 - 2:30	Faster!
2:36 - 2:38	Sailing into Fire Nation waters.
2:39 - 2:41	Of all the foolish things you've done
2:41 - 2:44	in your 16 years, Prince Zuko,
2:44 - 2:47	this is the most foolish.
2:47 - 2:48	I have no choice, uncle.
2:49 - 2:51	Have you completely forgotten
2:51 - 2:53	that the Fire Lord banished you?
2:54 - 2:55	What if you're caught?
2:55 - 2:57	I'm chasing the Avatar.
2:57 - 2:59	My father will understand why I'm returning home.
2:59 - 3:01	You give him too much credit.
3:01 - 3:04	My brother is not the understanding type.
3:08 - 3:09	There they are.
3:09 - 3:11	Helmsman, full steam ahead.
3:13 - 3:15	Aang, we got trouble.
3:15 - 3:17	Yeah, and it's gaining fast!
3:24 - 3:27	Really, Prince Zuko, couldn't you shoot them down
3:28 - 3:29	with something more fragrant?
3:30 - 3:31	Huh!
3:32 - 3:34	On my mark.
3:34 - 3:35	Fire!
3:38 - 3:39	Fire ball!
3:39 - 3:40	I'm on it!
3:44 - 3:46	We have to get out of Zuko's range
3:46 - 3:49	before he shoots another hotsticker at us!
3:49 - 3:51	Can't you make Appa go any faster?
3:51 - 3:53	Yeah, but there's just one little problem.
3:54 - 3:55	A blockade.
4:02 - 4:03	Technically, you are still
4:04 - 4:05	in Earth Kingdom waters.
4:05 - 4:07	Turn back now, and they cannot arrest you.
4:08 - 4:09	If we fly north,
4:09 - 4:10	we can go around the Fire Nation ships
4:10 - 4:12	and avoid the blockade.
4:12 - 4:13	It's the only way.
4:13 - 4:15	There's no time!
4:15 - 4:17	This is exactly why I didn't want you to come.
4:17 - 4:18	It's too dangerous.
4:19 - 4:20	And that's exactly why we're here.
4:20 - 4:22	Let's run this blockade.
4:23 - 4:24	Appa, yip yip!
4:27 - 4:28	He's not turning around.
4:28 - 4:32	Please, Prince Zuko. If the Fire Nation captures you,
4:32 - 4:34	There is nothing I can do.
4:34 - 4:36	Do not follow the Avatar.
4:37 - 4:38	I'm sorry, uncle.
4:39 - 4:40	Run the blockade!
4:41 - 4:43	The Avatar...
4:44 - 4:46	And the banished prince.
4:46 - 4:49	This must be my lucky day.
4:49 - 4:51	Commander Zhao, what are your orders?
4:51 - 4:54	Shoot the bison down, captain.
4:54 - 4:57	But there's a fire navy ship out there, sir― One of our own.
4:57 - 4:58	What if it's hit?
4:58 - 5:00	So be it. It belongs to a traitor.
5:01 - 5:02	Ignite!
5:05 - 5:06	Launch!
5:10 - 5:12	Aah! Aah! Aah!
5:29 - 5:30	Appa, are you ok?
5:44 - 5:47	Prince Zuko, the engines are damaged!
5:47 - 5:49	We need to stop and make repairs!
5:49 - 5:51	Do not stop this ship.
5:52 - 5:53	Launch!
5:58 - 6:00	Aah!
6:08 - 6:11	Aah! Aah! Aah!
6:12 - 6:13	Aah!
6:14 - 6:16	Sokka!
6:18 - 6:20	Aah!
6:22 - 6:23	Aah!
6:26 - 6:27	Oh!
6:38 - 6:39	Ready.
6:44 - 6:45	Fire!
6:48 - 6:49	Aah!
6:53 - 6:54	Huh!
6:58 - 7:00	Aah! Ooh!
7:06 - 7:08	We made it!
7:08 - 7:10	We got into the Fire Nation. Great.
7:11 - 7:13	Where do you think the Avatar is headed, sir?
7:13 - 7:15	I'm not sure,
7:15 - 7:18	but I bet a certain banished prince will know.
7:21 - 7:22	We're on a collision course!
7:22 - 7:23	We can make it.
7:24 - 7:27	The boarding party is ready to apprehend Prince Zuko, sir.
7:27 - 7:29	Wait. Cut the engines
7:29 - 7:30	and let them pass.
7:30 - 7:31	Sir?
7:53 - 7:54	There it is―
7:55 - 7:57	The island where Roku's dragon took me.
8:03 - 8:05	You did it, buddy. Nice flying.
8:06 - 8:08	Oh, you must be tired.
8:08 - 8:14	No, I'm good. Refreshed and ready to fight some firebenders.
8:14 - 8:16	I was talking to Appa.
8:17 - 8:19	Well, I was talking to Momo.
8:27 - 8:28	I don't see any guards.
8:29 - 8:30	The Fire Nation
8:30 - 8:31	must have abandoned the temple
8:31 - 8:32	when Avatar Roku died.
8:32 - 8:34	It's almost sundown. We'd better hurry.
8:44 - 8:47	Wait. I think I heard something.
8:48 - 8:54	We are the fire sages, guardians of the temple of the Avatar.
8:55 - 8:56	Great. I am the Avatar.
8:57 - 8:58	We know.
9:04 - 9:06	I'll hold them off. Run!
9:08 - 9:10	Uh! Uh! Uh!
9:10 - 9:13	If the Avatar contacts Roku,
9:13 - 9:15	there's no telling how powerful the boy will become.
9:15 - 9:17	Split up and find him.
9:21 - 9:22	Follow me!
9:22 - 9:23	Do you know where you're going?
9:24 - 9:25	Nope.
9:26 - 9:28	Wrong way!
9:28 - 9:29	Come back!
9:35 - 9:38	I don't want to fight you. I am a friend.
9:39 - 9:41	Firebenders aren't our friends.
9:43 - 9:46	I know why you're here, Avatar.
9:46 - 9:47	You do?
9:47 - 9:50	Yes. You wish to speak to Avatar Roku.
9:51 - 9:52	I can take you to him.
9:52 - 9:53	How?
9:56 - 9:57	Uh!
9:59 - 10:00	This way.
10:01 - 10:02	Find him!
10:03 - 10:05	Time is running out! Quickly!
10:14 - 10:16	What's he up to, uncle?
10:16 - 10:18	Why didn't Commander Zhao arrest me?
10:18 - 10:20	Because he wants to follow you.
10:20 - 10:22	He knows you'll lead him
10:22 - 10:24	to the prize you're both after―
10:24 - 10:25	The Avatar.
10:26 - 10:28	If Zhao wants to follow our trail of smoke,
10:28 - 10:30	then that's exactly what I'll let him do.
10:31 - 10:34	Avatar Roku once called this temple his home.
10:34 - 10:37	He formed these secret passages out of the magma.
10:37 - 10:39	Did you know Avatar Roku?
10:39 - 10:42	No, but my grandfather knew him.
10:42 - 10:44	Many generations of fire sages
10:44 - 10:47	guarded this temple long before me.
10:47 - 10:49	We all have a strong spiritual connection
10:49 - 10:51	to this place.
10:51 - 10:52	Is that how you knew I was coming?
10:52 - 10:56	A few weeks ago, an amazing thing occurred.
10:56 - 10:58	The statue of Avatar Roku―
10:58 - 11:00	Its eyes began to glow.
11:00 - 11:02	That's when we were at the air temple.
11:02 - 11:05	Avatar Roku's eyes were glowing there, too.
11:05 - 11:09	At that moment, we knew you had returned to the world.
11:09 - 11:11	If this is the Avatar's temple,
11:11 - 11:13	why did the sages attack me?
11:13 - 11:15	Things have changed.
11:15 - 11:16	In the past, the sages were loyal
11:17 - 11:18	only to the Avatar.
11:19 - 11:23	When Roku died, the sages eagerly awaited for the next Avatar to return,
11:24 - 11:25	but he never came.
11:26 - 11:27	They were waiting for me.
11:27 - 11:30	Hey, don't feel bad. You're only 100 years late.
11:30 - 11:33	They lost hope that the Avatar would ever return.
11:33 - 11:36	When Fire Lord Sozin began the war,
11:36 - 11:38	my grandfather and the other sages
11:38 - 11:40	were forced to follow him.
11:40 - 11:43	I never wanted to serve the Fire Lord.
11:44 - 11:46	When I learned you were coming,
11:46 - 11:48	I knew I would have to betray the other sages.
11:48 - 11:50	Thank you for helping me.
11:52 - 11:54	We'll follow these stairs to the sanctuary.
11:55 - 11:56	Once you're inside,
11:56 - 11:59	wait for the light to hit Avatar Roku's statue.
12:00 - 12:02	Only then will you be able to speak with him.
12:11 - 12:12	No!
12:13 - 12:15	Shyu, what's wrong?
12:15 - 12:18	The sanctuary doors― They're closed.
12:18 - 12:20	Can't you just open them with firebending,
12:20 - 12:22	like you opened that other door?
12:22 - 12:26	No. Only a fully realized Avatar
12:26 - 12:28	is powerful enough to open this door alone.
12:29 - 12:31	Otherwise, the sages must open the doors together
12:32 - 12:35	with five simultaneous fire blasts.
12:35 - 12:37	Five fire blasts, huh?
12:38 - 12:40	I think I can help you out.
12:42 - 12:44	Uncle, keep heading north.
12:44 - 12:46	Zhao will follow the smoke trail
12:46 - 12:47	while I use it as a cover.
12:48 - 12:49	Hmmm.
12:57 - 12:58	This is a little trick
12:58 - 13:00	I picked up from my father.
13:00 - 13:03	I seal the lamp oil inside an animal skin casing.
13:04 - 13:05	Shyu lights the oil-soaked twine,
13:06 - 13:07	and ta da!
13:07 - 13:08	Fake firebending.
13:09 - 13:11	You're really outdone yourself this time, Sokka.
13:11 - 13:13	This might actually work.
13:16 - 13:17	The sages will hear the explosion,
13:17 - 13:19	so as soon as they go off, you rush in.
13:22 - 13:24	It's almost sunset. Are you ready?
13:24 - 13:25	Definitely.
13:34 - 13:35	Ooh!
13:40 - 13:41	Uh! Uh!
13:41 - 13:42	They're still locked!
13:46 - 13:48	It didn't work.
13:58 - 14:02	Why won't it open?! Uh!
14:02 - 14:04	Aang, stop.
14:04 - 14:06	There's nothing else we can do.
14:06 - 14:09	I'm sorry I put you through all this for nothing.
14:09 - 14:10	I don't get it.
14:11 - 14:12	That blast looked as strong
14:12 - 14:14	as any firebending I've seen.
14:15 - 14:17	Sokka, you're a genius!
14:17 - 14:19	Wait. How is Sokka a genius?
14:19 - 14:21	His plan didn't even work.
14:21 - 14:23	Come on, Aang. Let her dream.
14:24 - 14:27	You're right. Sokka's plan didn't work,
14:27 - 14:29	but it looks like it did.
14:29 - 14:31	Did the definition of genius change
14:31 - 14:32	in the last 100 years?
14:33 - 14:36	Come quickly! The Avatar has entered the sanctuary!
14:36 - 14:38	How did he get in?
14:38 - 14:40	I know, but look at the scorch marks,
14:40 - 14:41	and down there.
14:43 - 14:47	He's inside. Open the doors immediately
14:47 - 14:50	before he contacts Avatar Roku.
14:52 - 14:54	Huh! Huh!
15:04 - 15:06	It's the Avatar's lemur.
15:06 - 15:08	He must have crawled through the pipes.
15:08 - 15:10	We've been tricked!
15:10 - 15:11	Aah!
15:14 - 15:15	Now, Aang.
15:17 - 15:18	Aang, now's your chance!
15:21 - 15:23	The Avatar's coming with me.
15:23 - 15:25	Uh! Uh!
15:25 - 15:27	Uh!
15:28 - 15:29	Close the doors, quickly!
15:35 - 15:36	Uh! Aah!
15:37 - 15:38	Go!
15:45 - 15:46	He made it!
15:59 - 16:02	The light hits the statue, and I talk to Roku.
16:02 - 16:03	So why isn't anything happening?
16:05 - 16:06	Huh! Huh!
16:09 - 16:11	Why isn't it working? It's sealed shut.
16:11 - 16:13	It must have been the light.
16:13 - 16:16	Avatar Roku doesn't want us inside.
16:19 - 16:20	Why isn't anything happening?
16:21 - 16:22	I don't know what I'm doing.
16:23 - 16:24	All I know is airbending.
16:24 - 16:26	Please, Avatar Roku, talk to me.
16:34 - 16:36	It's good to see you, Aang.
16:37 - 16:39	What took you so long?
16:43 - 16:45	Why did you help the Avatar?
16:45 - 16:48	Because it was once the sage's duty.
16:48 - 16:51	It is still our duty.
16:55 - 16:58	What a moving and heartfelt performance.
16:59 - 17:01	I'm certain the Fire Lord will understand
17:01 - 17:04	when you explain why you betrayed him.
17:04 - 17:05	Commander Zhao―
17:06 - 17:08	And, Prince Zuko,
17:08 - 17:10	it was a noble effort,
17:10 - 17:13	but your little smokescreen didn't work.
17:13 - 17:16	Two traitors in one day.
17:16 - 17:18	The Fire Lord will be pleased.
17:18 - 17:20	You're too late, Zhao.
17:20 - 17:21	The Avatar's inside,
17:21 - 17:22	and the doors are sealed.
17:23 - 17:25	No matter. Sooner or later,
17:25 - 17:27	he has to come out.
17:31 - 17:35	I have something very important to tell you, Aang.
17:35 - 17:39	That is why, when you were in the spirit world,
17:39 - 17:42	I sent my dragon to find you.
17:42 - 17:44	Is it about that vision―
17:44 - 17:45	The one of the comet?
17:45 - 17:46	Yes.
17:46 - 17:47	What does it mean?
17:47 - 17:50	100 years ago,
17:50 - 17:52	Fire Lord Sozin used that comet
17:52 - 17:54	to begin the war.
17:54 - 17:56	He and his firebending army
17:56 - 17:59	harnessed its incredible power
17:59 - 18:01	and dealt a deadly first strike
18:01 - 18:03	against the other nations.
18:03 - 18:05	So the comet made them stronger?
18:05 - 18:09	Yes, stronger than you could even imagine.
18:09 - 18:11	But that happened a hundred years ago.
18:11 - 18:13	What does the comet have to do with the war now?
18:13 - 18:15	Listen carefully.
18:15 - 18:19	Sozin's Comet will return by the end of this summer,
18:19 - 18:21	and Fire Lord Ozai will use its power
18:21 - 18:24	to finish the war once and for all.
18:24 - 18:26	Aah!
18:27 - 18:29	If he succeeds, even the Avatar
18:29 - 18:32	won't be able to restore balance to the world.
18:32 - 18:36	Aang, you must defeat the Fire Lord
18:36 - 18:38	before the comet arrives.
18:39 - 18:41	But I haven't even started learning waterbending,
18:41 - 18:43	not to mention earth and fire.
18:43 - 18:47	Mastering the elements takes years of discipline and practice,
18:47 - 18:49	But if the world is to survive,
18:49 - 18:52	you must do it by summer's end.
19:00 - 19:02	When those doors open,
19:02 - 19:04	unleash all your firepower.
19:05 - 19:07	How's Aang gonna make it out of this?
19:07 - 19:08	How are we gonna make it out of this?
19:11 - 19:13	What if I can't master all the elements in time?
19:13 - 19:15	What if I fail?
19:15 - 19:17	I know you can do it, Aang,
19:17 - 19:20	for you have done it before.
19:21 - 19:23	The solstice is ending.
19:23 - 19:27	We must go our separate ways for now.
19:27 - 19:29	But I won't be able to come back to the temple.
19:30 - 19:31	What if I have questions?
19:31 - 19:33	How will I talk to you?
19:33 - 19:35	I am a part of you.
19:36 - 19:38	When you need to talk to me again,
19:38 - 19:41	you will find a way.
19:43 - 19:46	A great danger awaits you at the temple.
19:47 - 19:49	I can help you face the threat,
19:49 - 19:51	But only if you are ready.
19:53 - 19:54	I'm ready.
20:05 - 20:06	Ready...
20:07 - 20:09	No! Aang!
20:09 - 20:10	Fire!
20:17 - 20:18	Avatar Roku!
20:21 - 20:22	Uh! Uh!
20:24 - 20:25	Uh!
20:30 - 20:31	Oh! Oh!
20:31 - 20:33	Avatar Roku is going to destroy the temple.
20:33 - 20:34	We have to get out of here!
20:34 - 20:36	Not without Aang!
20:36 - 20:37	Huh!
21:07 - 21:08	We got your back.
21:08 - 21:10	Thanks. Where's Shyu?
21:10 - 21:11	I don't know.
21:16 - 21:17	Uh! Uh! Uh!
21:37 - 21:40	No prince, no Avatar.
21:40 - 21:42	Apparently the only thing I do have
21:42 - 21:44	is five traitors.
21:44 - 21:47	But, Commander, only Shyu helped the Avatar.
21:47 - 21:49	Save your stories for the Fire Lord.
21:49 - 21:51	As far as I'm concerned,
21:51 - 21:53	you are all guilty.
21:53 - 21:55	Take them to the prison hold!
