0:02 - 0:04	Water.
0:04 - 0:06	Earth.
0:06 - 0:08	Fire.
0:08 - 0:10	Air.
0:10 - 0:14	Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
0:14 - 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.
0:24 - 0:25	But when the world needed him most,
0:25 - 0:27	he vanished.
0:27 - 0:29	100 years passed, and my brother and I
0:29 - 0:32	discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang.
0:33 - 0:34	And although his airbending skills are great,
0:35 - 0:37	he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
0:37 - 0:38	Unh!
0:38 - 0:41	But I believe Aang can save the world.
1:01 - 1:03	Um, aren't you forgetting the tarp?
1:03 - 1:05	Right. Got it.
1:05 - 1:07	Sokka, you're supposed to put the tarp
1:07 - 1:09	on top of the tent.
1:09 - 1:10	You know, so we don't get rained on?
1:11 - 1:12	Ordinarily, you'd be right,
1:12 - 1:14	but seeing how it's the dry season,
1:14 - 1:15	you're not.
1:15 - 1:17	Besides, that tarp makes a pretty warm blanket.
1:17 - 1:18	But what if it does rain?
1:18 - 1:19	What if it doesn't?
1:19 - 1:21	Then I would have put the tarp up for nothing.
1:21 - 1:24	Uh! You're infuriating.
1:24 - 1:26	Katara, why don't you worry about gathering the firewood?
1:26 - 1:30	Because that kindling's looking pretty sorry.
1:30 - 1:32	If you don't like my firewood―
1:32 - 1:33	Uh!
1:33 - 1:36	Fine by me! If you're not gonna do your job―
1:36 - 1:37	Uh!
1:37 - 1:39	Okay, I got the grub if you guys got the...
1:39 - 1:41	Hey, where's the campfire,
1:41 - 1:43	and what happened to the tent?
1:43 - 1:46	Why don't you ask Miss Know-it-all, Queen of the twigs?
1:46 - 1:50	Oh, yeah? Well, you're Mr. Lazy-bum, King of the...
1:50 - 1:51	Tents!
1:52 - 1:54	Okay. Listen, guys.
1:54 - 1:56	Harsh words won't solve problems.
1:56 - 1:57	Action will.
1:57 - 1:59	Why don't you just switch jobs?
2:00 - 2:01	Sounds good. Whatever.
2:01 - 2:02	You see that?
2:02 - 2:04	Settling feuds and making peace...
2:04 - 2:06	All in a day's work for the Avatar.
2:22 - 2:24	Come on, Momo. That's fair.
2:24 - 2:26	Appa's got five stomachs.
2:30 - 2:33	There it is, guys, The Great Divide.
2:33 - 2:36	Wow. I could just stare at it forever.
2:36 - 2:38	Okay. I've seen enough.
2:38 - 2:41	How can you not be fascinated, Sokka?
2:41 - 2:44	This is the largest canyon in the entire world.
2:44 - 2:46	Then I'm sure we'll be able to see it very clearly
2:46 - 2:48	from the air while we fly away.
2:48 - 2:49	Hey, if you're looking for the canyon guide,
2:49 - 2:51	I was here first.
2:51 - 2:54	Ooh. Canyon guide. Sounds informative.
2:54 - 2:56	Believe me, he's more than a tour guide.
2:56 - 2:57	He's an earthbender,
2:57 - 2:59	and the only way in and out of the canyon
2:59 - 3:00	is with his help.
3:01 - 3:03	And he's taking my tribe across next.
3:03 - 3:05	Calm down. We know you're next.
3:05 - 3:07	You wouldn't be calm if the Fire Nation destroyed your home
3:07 - 3:08	and forced you to flee.
3:09 - 3:11	My whole tribe has to walk thousands of miles
3:11 - 3:13	to the capital city of Ba Sing Se.
3:14 - 3:15	You're a refugee.
3:15 - 3:17	Huh. Tell me something I don't know.
3:20 - 3:21	Is that your tribe?
3:21 - 3:23	It most certainly is not.
3:23 - 3:24	That's the Zhang tribe,
3:25 - 3:26	a bunch of lowlife thieves.
3:26 - 3:28	They've been the enemies
3:28 - 3:29	of my tribe for a hundred years.
3:30 - 3:31	Hey, Zhangs!
3:32 - 3:33	I'm saving a spot for my tribe,
3:33 - 3:35	so don't even think of stealing it.
3:35 - 3:37	Where are the rest of the Gan Jin?
3:37 - 3:40	Still tidying up their campsite?
3:40 - 3:43	Yes, but they sent me ahead of them to hold a spot.
3:43 - 3:45	I didn't know the canyon guide took reservations.
3:46 - 3:47	Huh! Of course you didn't.
3:47 - 3:49	That's the ignorance I'd expect
3:49 - 3:51	from a messy Zhang,
3:51 - 3:53	so unorganized and ill-prepared for a journey.
3:59 - 4:01	Uhh!
4:04 - 4:07	Sorry about the wait, youngsters.
4:07 - 4:10	Who's ready to cross this here canyon?
4:10 - 4:12	Uh, one of them, I think.
4:12 - 4:14	I was here first. My party's on their way.
4:15 - 4:17	I can't guide people who aren't here.
4:18 - 4:20	Guess you guys will have to make the trip tomorrow.
4:22 - 4:23	Wait! Here they come.
4:30 - 4:31	You're not seriously gonna cave in
4:31 - 4:33	to these spoiled Gan Jins.
4:33 - 4:35	I mean, we're refugees, too,
4:35 - 4:37	and we've got sick people that need shelter.
4:37 - 4:39	I, uh, well...
4:39 - 4:42	We've got old people who are weary from traveling.
4:42 - 4:45	Sick people get priority over old people.
4:45 - 4:47	Maybe you Zhangs wouldn't have so many sick people
4:47 - 4:49	if you weren't such slobs.
4:50 - 4:52	If you Gan Jins weren't so clean,
4:52 - 4:54	maybe you wouldn't live to be so old.
4:54 - 4:56	I could smell your stink...
4:56 - 4:57	Well, Aang, ready to put
4:57 - 4:58	your peacemaking skills to the test?
4:58 - 5:00	I don't know...
5:00 - 5:02	A fight over chores is one thing.
5:02 - 5:05	These people have been feuding for a hundred years.
5:05 - 5:07	Everyone listen up!
5:07 - 5:09	This is the Avatar,
5:09 - 5:10	and if you give him a chance,
5:10 - 5:12	I'm sure he can come up with a compromise
5:12 - 5:14	that will make everyone happy.
5:16 - 5:20	Uh, you could share the earthbender and travel together?
5:20 - 5:22	Absolutely not. We'd rather be taken by the Fire Nation
5:23 - 5:25	than travel with those stinking thieves.
5:26 - 5:28	We wouldn't travel with you pompous fools anyway.
5:30 - 5:31	All right, here's the deal!
5:31 - 5:33	You're all going down together,
5:33 - 5:35	and Appa here will fly your sick and elderly across.
5:35 - 5:37	Does that seem fair?
5:48 - 5:50	Sorry, Appa. You'll have to do this on your own.
5:50 - 5:53	Aang, this feuding tribe stuff is serious business.
5:53 - 5:55	Are you sure it's a good idea getting involved in this?
5:55 - 5:58	To tell the truth, I'm not sure,
5:59 - 6:00	but when have I ever been?
6:00 - 6:01	He's the avatar, Sokka.
6:02 - 6:04	Making peace between people is his job.
6:04 - 6:07	His job's gonna make us cross this whole thing on foot, isn't it?
6:07 - 6:10	Okay, now comes the bad news.
6:10 - 6:13	No food allowed in the canyon.
6:13 - 6:17	It attracts dangerous predators.
6:17 - 6:19	No food? This is ridiculous.
6:19 - 6:24	Oh, you babies can go a day without food.
6:24 - 6:27	Would you rather be hungry or dead?
6:28 - 6:30	Now, we're heading down in 10 minutes.
6:30 - 6:32	All food better be in your gut,
6:32 - 6:34	or in the garbage!
6:41 - 6:43	Appa's gonna take good care of you till we get there.
6:44 - 6:46	See you on the other side, buddy.
6:46 - 6:47	Yip yip!
6:59 - 7:00	Huh!
7:02 - 7:03	Nice bending.
7:04 - 7:07	The job's much more than bending, kid.
7:07 - 7:08	Folks want information.
7:10 - 7:12	Many of you are probably wondering
7:12 - 7:14	how canyons are formed.
7:14 - 7:16	Experts tell us this canyon was most likely
7:17 - 7:20	carved into the ground by earth spirits,
7:20 - 7:22	who were angry at local farmers
7:22 - 7:26	for not offering them a proper sacrifice.
7:33 - 7:37	Uh! Ha ha! Guess the spirits are still angry.
7:37 - 7:40	Hope you all brought sacrifices.
7:45 - 7:48	Okay. Everyone stand clear of the wall.
7:49 - 7:51	Uh! Uh!
7:54 - 7:55	Why did you do that?
7:55 - 7:59	These people are fleeing the Fire Nation, aren't they?
7:59 - 8:01	I've got to make sure we can't be followed.
8:01 - 8:03	We'll be safe now.
8:03 - 8:05	Uh!
8:05 - 8:06	Ah!
8:08 - 8:10	We've got to help him! Uh!
8:11 - 8:12	Aah!
8:15 - 8:17	Okay, now we've got to help me!
8:22 - 8:23	Aah!
8:23 - 8:24	Hah!
8:37 - 8:38	What was that?
8:39 - 8:40	Canyon crawler.
8:40 - 8:44	Oh... And there's sure to be more.
8:44 - 8:46	Your arms... They're broken.
8:46 - 8:49	Without my arms, I got no bending.
8:49 - 8:50	In other words...
8:50 - 8:52	We're trapped in this canyon.
9:03 - 9:05	I thought the whole point of ditching our food
9:05 - 9:08	was so we wouldn't have to deal with things like canyon crawlers.
9:08 - 9:09	It's the Zhangs.
9:09 - 9:12	They took food down here even after the guide told them not to.
9:13 - 9:14	What?
9:14 - 9:16	If there's anyone who can't go without food for a day,
9:16 - 9:18	it's these pampered Gan Jins.
9:19 - 9:20	I hope you're happy.
9:20 - 9:22	We're stuck in this canyon with no way out.
9:23 - 9:25	Why don't you thank yourself, food-hider?
9:25 - 9:28	Look, sticking together is the only way to―
9:28 - 9:30	I'm not walking another step with the likes of them.
9:30 - 9:33	Now there's something we can agree on.
9:33 - 9:34	Any ideas?
9:35 - 9:38	No bending. We need to get out of this canyon.
9:38 - 9:40	I won't die down here.
9:40 - 9:43	I won't become part of the food chain.
9:44 - 9:45	See? We're going to become part of the food chain
9:45 - 9:47	because of you.
9:47 - 9:50	Sure. Unjustly blame the Zhangs, like you always do.
9:50 - 9:52	Gladly.
9:52 - 9:53	Enough!
9:53 - 9:55	I thought I could help you guys get along,
9:55 - 9:56	but I guess that's not gonna happen.
9:59 - 10:00	We should split up―
10:00 - 10:03	Gan Jins on this side and Zhangs on that side.
10:03 - 10:05	We'll travel in two separate lines.
10:12 - 10:14	Sokka, you go with the Zhangs,
10:14 - 10:15	and, Katara, you go with the Gan Jins.
10:16 - 10:19	See if you can find out why they hate each other so much.
10:38 - 10:40	So, you guys aren't gonna put up your tarps?
10:40 - 10:42	What for? It's the dry season.
10:42 - 10:43	Exactly!
10:43 - 10:46	Besides, we like to use the tarp as a blanket.
10:46 - 10:48	Finally someone gets it.
10:56 - 10:57	Do you really think it'll rain?
10:57 - 11:01	No, but you can never be too careful, right?
11:19 - 11:21	Would you care for some bread, Katara?
11:22 - 11:23	So it was you guys who had food.
11:24 - 11:25	Oh, come now.
11:25 - 11:26	Do you really think that tribe of thieves
11:26 - 11:28	isn't smuggling food?
11:28 - 11:30	Why should my people go hungry
11:30 - 11:33	when the sneaky Zhangs are stuffing their faces?
11:33 - 11:37	Well, I guess it's okay if everyone's doing it.
11:41 - 11:44	So, why does your tribe hate the Zhangs so much?
11:45 - 11:47	You seem like a smart girl, Katara.
11:47 - 11:50	I bet you would enjoy hearing some history.
11:57 - 11:59	The patriarch of our tribe, Jin Wei,
11:59 - 12:01	was an earthbender warrior
12:01 - 12:03	who was assigned an important duty:
12:03 - 12:06	Transporting our sacred orb
12:06 - 12:09	From the great eastern gate to the great western gate.
12:15 - 12:17	Taking the orb from the east to the west
12:17 - 12:20	represents the sun's rising and setting.
12:20 - 12:24	It was our tribe's ancient redemption ritual.
12:24 - 12:26	But as he approached the gate,
12:26 - 12:29	Jin Wei was attacked by one of the Zhangs―
12:30 - 12:32	A vermin named Wei Jin
12:32 - 12:35	who looked at the orb with envy.
12:35 - 12:39	That coward Wei Jin knocked Jin Wei to the ground
12:39 - 12:41	and stole our sacred orb.
12:42 - 12:45	Our people have never forgotten.
12:45 - 12:48	You can never trust a Zhang.
12:54 - 12:55	Care for some meat?
12:55 - 12:56	Would I?
12:57 - 12:58	I know what you must be thinking.
12:58 - 13:00	We're horrible for endangering everybody
13:00 - 13:02	by bringing food down here.
13:02 - 13:03	Mmm-hmm.
13:03 - 13:05	The Gan Jins think so badly of us,
13:05 - 13:07	they probably assumed we brought food in
13:07 - 13:09	and decided to bring food in themselves.
13:09 - 13:11	That's why we brought food in.
13:11 - 13:12	Mmm.
13:12 - 13:14	Our conflict with the Gan Jin
13:14 - 13:16	goes back over 100 years.
13:21 - 13:23	Our forefather, Wei Jin, was leaving the western gate
13:23 - 13:26	of our village when he saw a figure in the distance.
13:27 - 13:30	It was a man of the Gan Jin tribe, Jin Wei,
13:30 - 13:32	collapsed on the ground.
13:32 - 13:34	Noble Wei Jin stopped to help him.
13:35 - 13:38	Jin Wei was transporting a sacred orb,
13:38 - 13:41	a very powerful relic used in his tribe's redemption ritual.
13:42 - 13:44	Wei Jin tried to tend to the man's wounds,
13:44 - 13:47	but Jin Wei insisted the orb was more important
13:47 - 13:50	and asked him to take it back to his tribe.
13:50 - 13:53	Kind Wei Jin promised to send help for the man
13:53 - 13:54	as soon as he could.
13:55 - 13:57	But as Wei Jin crossed the border
13:57 - 13:59	to return the orb into Gan Jin territory,
13:59 - 14:00	he was arrested.
14:05 - 14:08	Instead of thanking him for his kind and selfless deed,
14:08 - 14:11	they sentenced him to 20 long years in prison.
14:13 - 14:16	We Zhangs will never forget that injustice.
14:16 - 14:18	That's just terrible.
14:18 - 14:19	Are you gonna finish that?
14:22 - 14:23	Sure would be nice
14:23 - 14:25	to be around one of those campfires.
14:25 - 14:27	Telling stories and laughing.
14:28 - 14:31	It's okay, Momo. We'll be out of here soon enough,
14:31 - 14:33	and then we can eat our weight in litchi nuts.
14:40 - 14:42	Nah. I'll wait for the litchi nuts.
14:43 - 14:46	It's lonely, isn't it, being impartial?
14:47 - 14:49	I wish I could help these people get along,
14:49 - 14:51	but it just seems impossible.
14:51 - 14:52	Anyhow, I guess our biggest problem
14:52 - 14:54	Is getting out of here.
14:54 - 14:58	I'm not so sure the two problems are unrelated.
15:05 - 15:09	All clear. We're almost to the other side.
15:19 - 15:21	Katara, Sokka, will these people cooperate
15:21 - 15:23	long enough to get out of the canyon?
15:23 - 15:24	I don't think so, Aang.
15:24 - 15:27	The Zhangs really wronged the Gan Jins.
15:27 - 15:30	They ambushed Jin Wei and stole the sacred orb.
15:30 - 15:31	What are you talking about?
15:32 - 15:33	Yeah, Katara, what are you talking about?
15:34 - 15:36	Wei Jin didn't steal the orb.
15:36 - 15:37	He was returning it to their village gate
15:37 - 15:39	and was wrongfully punished by the Gan Jin.
15:39 - 15:41	Not punished enough, if you ask me.
15:42 - 15:44	Okay, okay. I get it. Now I need your help.
15:45 - 15:47	Let's get everyone together at the base of the canyon wall.
15:56 - 15:58	Please, everyone. As soon as we get out of here,
15:58 - 16:00	we can eat and then go our separate ways.
16:00 - 16:02	But I need you all to put your heads together
16:02 - 16:04	and figure out a way up this cliff.
16:04 - 16:06	Maybe the Zhang can climb the wall
16:06 - 16:08	With their long, disgusting fingernails.
16:08 - 16:11	Oh, sorry. I forgot that to the Gan Jin,
16:11 - 16:15	unclipped fingernails is a crime punishable by 20 years in jail.
16:15 - 16:17	Why, you dirty thief.
16:17 - 16:18	You pompous fool.
16:21 - 16:22	Guys, focus!
16:22 - 16:24	How many times do I have to say it?
16:24 - 16:26	Harsh words won't solve problems.
16:26 - 16:27	Action will!
16:28 - 16:30	Perhaps the Avatar is right.
16:31 - 16:32	Yes. Perhaps he is.
16:35 - 16:37	Harsh words will never solve our problems.
16:38 - 16:39	Action will.
16:42 - 16:43	Huh! Huh!
16:43 - 16:44	Aah!
16:48 - 16:52	To the death, and let this be the end of this rivalry.
16:52 - 16:54	You know, I take it back.
16:54 - 16:55	Harsh words aren't so bad.
17:03 - 17:04	Huh?
17:11 - 17:13	Hyah!
17:21 - 17:23	Is that food?
17:23 - 17:25	Everyone smuggled food down here?
17:25 - 17:27	Unbelievable!
17:27 - 17:28	You guys put our lives in danger
17:28 - 17:31	because you couldn't go without a snack for a day?
17:31 - 17:34	You are all awful!
17:41 - 17:42	So hungry...
17:42 - 17:46	Is that egg custard in that tart?
17:55 - 17:58	Oh, no. That's a lot of canyon crawlers.
17:58 - 18:00	We barely survived one.
18:00 - 18:02	They're coming back for me.
18:02 - 18:05	They've had a taste, and they're coming back for me.
18:05 - 18:06	Sokka, wait.
18:07 - 18:09	I don't care about the stupid feud.
18:09 - 18:11	I just want us to get out of here alive.
18:11 - 18:14	Me, too. I only took their side because they fed me.
18:20 - 18:21	Hyah!
18:34 - 18:35	Hyah!
18:48 - 18:49	Aah!
18:54 - 18:55	Aah!
19:16 - 19:20	Everybody, watch me and do what I do!
19:46 - 19:48	Now follow me.
19:48 - 19:49	We're riding out of this hole.
20:06 - 20:08	Everyone get off!
20:13 - 20:14	We made it!
20:15 - 20:16	Uh!
20:18 - 20:19	Huh!
20:27 - 20:29	I never thought a Gan Jin could get his hands dirty like that.
20:30 - 20:33	And I never knew you Zhangs were so reliable in a pinch.
20:33 - 20:35	Perhaps we're not so different after all.
20:37 - 20:39	Too bad we can't rewrite history.
20:40 - 20:43	You thieves stole our sacred orb from Jin Wei.
20:44 - 20:48	You tyrants unjustly imprisoned Wei Jin for 20 long years.
20:48 - 20:51	Ugh. Wait a second...
20:51 - 20:55	Jin Wei? Wei Jin? I know those guys.
20:55 - 20:58	Yes, yes. We're all aware of the story.
20:58 - 21:01	No, I mean I really knew them.
21:01 - 21:04	I might not look it, but I'm 112 years old.
21:04 - 21:05	I was there 100 years ago
21:05 - 21:07	on the day you're talking about.
21:08 - 21:10	There seems to be a lot of confusion about what happened.
21:11 - 21:14	First of all, Jin Wei and Wei Jin weren't enemies.
21:14 - 21:17	They were brothers. Twins, in fact.
21:17 - 21:20	And they were eight, and most importantly,
21:20 - 21:22	they were just playing a game.
21:22 - 21:23	Ahh! Ahh!
21:23 - 21:24	The sacred orb from the legend―
21:24 - 21:26	That was the ball.
21:26 - 21:27	And the eastern and western gates
21:27 - 21:28	were the goal posts.
21:29 - 21:31	Jin Wei had the ball and was running toward the goal
21:31 - 21:32	when he fell and fumbled it.
21:33 - 21:35	Wei Jin didn't steal the ball.
21:35 - 21:36	He picked it up and started running it back
21:37 - 21:39	toward the other goal, but he stepped out of bounds.
21:41 - 21:42	So the official put him in the penalty box―
21:43 - 21:45	Not for 20 long years but for two short minutes.
21:45 - 21:47	Hee hee hee!
21:47 - 21:50	There was no stealing and no putting anyone in prison...
21:50 - 21:51	Just a game.
21:52 - 21:54	You're saying the sacred orb was actually a sacred ball?
21:55 - 21:56	Nope, just a regular ball.
21:57 - 21:59	What about our tribe's redemption ritual?
21:59 - 22:01	That's what the game was called, Redemption.
22:02 - 22:04	As soon as someone got the ball from one goal to the other,
22:04 - 22:07	everyone would yell, "Redemption!"
22:09 - 22:11	Don't get me wrong... Wei Jin was kind of a slob,
22:11 - 22:12	and Jin Wei was a little stuffy.
22:12 - 22:13	That much is true.
22:14 - 22:16	But they respected each other's differences
22:16 - 22:18	enough to share the same playing field.
22:19 - 22:21	I suppose it's time we forget the past.
22:22 - 22:23	And look to the future.
22:32 - 22:35	Good to see you, boy. Did you miss me?
22:36 - 22:38	I cannot thank you enough, Avatar.
22:38 - 22:40	Well, you know. I try.
22:40 - 22:41	Oh!
22:43 - 22:45	Let us travel to the Earth Kingdom capital
22:45 - 22:47	as one tribe.
22:49 - 22:50	I'm going, too!
22:50 - 22:52	I'm sick of this place.
22:53 - 22:55	That's some luck you knew Jin Wei and Wei Jin.
22:55 - 22:57	You could call it luck,
22:57 - 22:59	or you could call it lying.
22:59 - 23:01	What? I made the whole thing up.
23:02 - 23:03	You did not.
23:04 - 23:05	That is so wrong.
23:05 - 23:07	Now, where's that custard tart?
23:08 - 23:09	I'm starving!
