0:02 - 0:04	Water...
0:04 - 0:06	Earth...
0:06 - 0:08	Fire...
0:08 - 0:10	Air.
0:11 - 0:15	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 - 0:31	100 years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar,
0:31 - 0:32	an airbender named Aang.
0:32 - 0:35	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	Oof.
0:39 - 0:42	But I believe Aang can save the world.
1:04 - 1:06	This should give us a good idea of what's around here.
1:06 - 1:08	See if you can find a menu.
1:08 - 1:09	I'm starving.
1:09 - 1:11	I bet we'll find something to eat here...
1:11 - 1:13	The Fire Days Festival.
1:13 - 1:15	Fire Nation cultural exhibits,
1:15 - 1:17	jugglers, benders, magicians...
1:18 - 1:21	This would be a great place for me to study some real firebenders.
1:21 - 1:22	You might want to rethink that.
1:23 - 1:24	Look at this.
1:24 - 1:26	Hey, a poster of me!
1:26 - 1:28	A wanted poster.
1:28 - 1:29	This is bad.
1:30 - 1:31	I think we better keep moving.
1:32 - 1:34	I have to learn firebending at some point,
1:34 - 1:37	and this could be my only chance to watch some masters up close.
1:38 - 1:39	I guess we could go check it out.
1:39 - 1:41	What?
1:41 - 1:42	You want to walk into a Fire Nation town
1:42 - 1:45	when they're all fired up with all their, you know, fire?
1:45 - 1:47	We'll wear disguises.
1:47 - 1:48	And if it looks like trouble, we'll leave.
1:48 - 1:50	Yeah.
1:50 - 1:52	Because we always leave before we get into trouble.
2:03 - 2:05	You guys stay out of sight here while we go to the festival.
2:13 - 2:15	Ready disguises.
2:23 - 2:25	It's like you're a whole different person.
2:25 - 2:26	Let's go!
2:34 - 2:36	Ha ha ha ha!
2:42 - 2:45	I think we need some new disguises.
2:45 - 2:47	Where are we gonna get masks like that?
2:47 - 2:51	Get your genuine Fire-Festival masks here!
2:51 - 2:53	That was surprisingly easy.
3:03 - 3:05	Hey, there's some food.
3:05 - 3:06	Finally!
3:06 - 3:08	What do you have?
3:08 - 3:09	Flaming fire flakes.
3:09 - 3:10	Best in town.
3:10 - 3:11	I'll take 'em.
3:11 - 3:12	Mmm! Mmm!
3:13 - 3:15	Oh, hot, hot!
3:15 - 3:18	Flaming fire flakes, hot.
3:18 - 3:19	What do you know?
3:19 - 3:20	Hey, look at this!
3:22 - 3:24	Don't worry, loyal citizens,
3:24 - 3:27	no one can surprise the Fire Lord!
3:28 - 3:29	Oh, no! Look out!
3:36 - 3:37	Aang, hold on.
3:37 - 3:38	Where are we going?
3:38 - 3:39	I don't know...
3:39 - 3:41	But there's a big crowd, so it must be good.
3:41 - 3:43	Knowing the Fire Nation,
3:43 - 3:44	it's probably an execution.
3:52 - 3:54	I gotta learn that trick.
3:54 - 3:55	Thank you!
3:55 - 3:56	For my next trick,
3:56 - 3:58	I need a volunteer from the audience.
3:58 - 4:00	Ooh, ooh! Me! me!
4:00 - 4:01	What do you think you're doing?
4:01 - 4:03	I want to get a closer look.
4:03 - 4:06	It's better that we don't attract any attention to ourselves.
4:06 - 4:08	How about you, little lady?
4:08 - 4:09	Uh...
4:09 - 4:11	Aw, she's shy.
4:11 - 4:14	Let's give her some encouragement, folks.
4:17 - 4:19	Aw, that could have been me.
4:22 - 4:26	This next trick is called Taming the Dragon!
4:26 - 4:28	You will be my captured princess.
4:39 - 4:41	Don't worry, young maiden!
4:41 - 4:44	I will tame this fiery beast!
4:49 - 4:51	It's too strong!
4:51 - 4:52	I can't hold it!
4:52 - 4:53	We gotta help her!
4:53 - 4:55	No, we don't want to make a scene.
4:55 - 4:58	The rope... It's breaking!
5:08 - 5:10	Hey, you trying to upstage me, kid?
5:17 - 5:20	Hey! That kid's the Avatar!
5:25 - 5:26	I think it's time to go.
5:26 - 5:27	Follow me!
5:27 - 5:29	I can get you out of here!
5:29 - 5:30	There they are!
5:39 - 5:40	Over there!
5:43 - 5:44	I'm calling Appa.
5:47 - 5:49	I hope he can really hear that bison whistle!
5:49 - 5:51	This way!
5:53 - 5:54	Ok, not this way.
6:01 - 6:02	Huh?
6:09 - 6:11	Appa, down here!
6:32 - 6:33	Beautiful!
6:37 - 6:39	Nice touch setting off the fireworks.
6:39 - 6:41	You seem to really know your explosives.
6:41 - 6:42	I'm familiar.
6:43 - 6:44	You're a Fire Nation soldier.
6:44 - 6:45	Was.
6:45 - 6:47	My name's Chey.
6:50 - 6:51	I serve a man...
6:51 - 6:52	More than a man, really,
6:52 - 6:54	he's a myth...
6:54 - 6:56	But he's real, a living legend...
6:56 - 6:57	Jeong Jeong the Deserter.
6:58 - 7:00	He was a Fire Nation general.
7:00 - 7:02	Or wait... Was he an admiral?
7:02 - 7:04	He was very highly ranked. We get it.
7:04 - 7:06	Yeah! Way up there!
7:06 - 7:08	But he couldn't take the madness anymore.
7:08 - 7:11	He's the first person ever to leave the army and live.
7:11 - 7:13	I'm the second, but you don't get to be a legend for that.
7:13 - 7:14	It's ok, though.
7:15 - 7:17	Jeong Jeong's a firebending genius.
7:17 - 7:18	Some say he's mad,
7:18 - 7:20	but he's not.
7:20 - 7:21	He's enlightened.
7:21 - 7:23	You mean there's a firebender out here
7:23 - 7:24	who's not with the Fire Lord?
7:24 - 7:26	We've gotta go see him!
7:26 - 7:27	He can train me!
7:27 - 7:30	We're not gonna go find some crazy firebender.
7:30 - 7:31	He's not crazy!
7:31 - 7:33	He's a genius!
7:33 - 7:36	And he's the perfect person to train the Avatar.
7:36 - 7:38	That's why I followed you into the festival.
7:38 - 7:39	Look, thanks for the help,
7:40 - 7:42	but we're leaving for the North Pole in the morning.
7:42 - 7:46	Sokka, this could be my only chance to meet a firebending master
7:46 - 7:48	who would actually be willing to teach me.
7:49 - 7:50	It can't hurt just to talk to him.
7:50 - 7:53	That's what you said about going to the festival!
7:53 - 7:55	Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?
7:57 - 7:58	Aagh!
8:01 - 8:03	Don't move.
8:11 - 8:13	Jeong Jeong told you not to look for Avatar.
8:13 - 8:15	Hold on. You know these guys?
8:15 - 8:16	Oh, yeah.
8:16 - 8:17	Lin Ye's an old buddy.
8:18 - 8:19	Right, Lin Ye?
8:19 - 8:20	Shut up. Keep moving.
8:30 - 8:32	Go on. He sees you only.
8:32 - 8:34	Oh, that's ok.
8:34 - 8:35	We can chat later.
8:35 - 8:36	Is that where Jeong Jeong is?
8:36 - 8:38	I need to talk to him right away.
8:38 - 8:40	No. You wait there.
8:40 - 8:41	Go, now!
8:42 - 8:44	Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
8:44 - 8:45	He's a great man.
8:45 - 8:47	A great man!
8:51 - 8:53	So, the Avatar was here
8:54 - 8:55	and you let him slip away?
8:55 - 8:56	Yes, sir.
8:56 - 8:59	But other than that, the festival went off without a hitch.
9:00 - 9:02	No fights. Theft was way down.
9:03 - 9:05	I don't care about your local crime rates!
9:05 - 9:07	Which way did they go?
9:07 - 9:09	They headed into the forest.
9:09 - 9:10	Up the river, I suspect.
9:10 - 9:12	Ready the riverboats.
9:12 - 9:14	We're going after the Avatar.
9:23 - 9:26	What happened? Can I see Jeong Jeong now?
9:26 - 9:27	He won't see you.
9:27 - 9:29	He's very angry that I brought you here.
9:29 - 9:31	He wants you to leave immediately.
9:31 - 9:33	Finally! Let's hit the road.
9:33 - 9:34	Why won't he see me?
9:35 - 9:36	He says you're not ready.
9:36 - 9:39	Says you haven't mastered waterbending and earthbending yet.
9:39 - 9:41	Wait, how does he know that?
9:41 - 9:43	He saw the way you walked into camp.
9:43 - 9:45	He can tell.
9:45 - 9:46	I'm going in anyway.
9:56 - 9:57	Get out!
10:00 - 10:03	Master, I need to learn firebending.
10:03 - 10:07	Only a fool seeks his own destruction.
10:07 - 10:09	I am the Avatar.
10:09 - 10:11	It's my destiny to... Destiny?
10:11 - 10:13	What would a boy know of destiny?
10:13 - 10:16	If a fish lives its whole life in this river,
10:16 - 10:17	does he know the river's destiny?
10:18 - 10:19	No!
10:19 - 10:22	Only that it runs on and on out of his control.
10:22 - 10:24	He may follow where it flows,
10:24 - 10:26	but he cannot see the end.
10:26 - 10:28	He cannot imagine the ocean.
10:29 - 10:31	Ok...
10:31 - 10:32	But it's the Avatar's duty
10:32 - 10:34	to master all of the bending disciplines.
10:34 - 10:37	To master the bending disciplines,
10:37 - 10:40	you must first master discipline itself.
10:40 - 10:41	But you have no interest in this,
10:41 - 10:43	so I have no interest in you.
10:43 - 10:45	Now, get out.
10:45 - 10:48	Please, I have to learn.
10:48 - 10:49	This could be my only chance.
10:50 - 10:51	Are you deaf?
10:51 - 10:55	How can I teach you if you refuse to listen?
10:55 - 10:56	Before learning firebending,
10:56 - 10:59	you must learn water and earth.
10:59 - 11:01	Water is cool and soothing.
11:01 - 11:03	Earth is steady and stable.
11:03 - 11:04	But fire...
11:04 - 11:06	Fire is alive.
11:06 - 11:08	It breathes, it grows.
11:08 - 11:11	Without the bender, a rock will not throw itself.
11:11 - 11:12	But fire will spread
11:12 - 11:15	and destroy everything in its path
11:15 - 11:17	if one does not have the will to control it!
11:18 - 11:19	That is its destiny.
11:19 - 11:21	You are not ready!
11:21 - 11:23	You are too weak!
11:28 - 11:29	You think I am weak?
11:29 - 11:31	Avatar Roku!
11:31 - 11:32	No, no!
11:32 - 11:33	I did not mean that.
11:33 - 11:35	I have mastered the elements
11:35 - 11:38	a thousand times in a thousand lifetimes.
11:38 - 11:41	Now, I must do it once again.
11:41 - 11:46	You will teach the Avatar firebending.
11:46 - 11:47	Yes, yes.
11:47 - 11:49	I will teach you.
11:49 - 11:50	Really?
11:51 - 11:52	That's great!
11:59 - 12:00	Widen your stance.
12:02 - 12:04	Wider!
12:04 - 12:05	Bend your knees.
12:05 - 12:06	Now, concentrate.
12:07 - 12:09	Good. Good!
12:09 - 12:10	Wait. What do I do now?
12:10 - 12:13	Silence! Talking is not concentrating.
12:13 - 12:15	Look at your friend. Is she talking?
12:15 - 12:18	Even that oaf knows to concentrate on what he's doing.
12:18 - 12:19	Hey!
12:19 - 12:21	But what am I concentrating on?
12:21 - 12:24	Feel the heat of the sun.
12:24 - 12:26	It is the greatest source of fire,
12:26 - 12:29	yet it is in complete balance with nature.
12:29 - 12:31	So, when do I get to make some fire?
12:31 - 12:32	Concentrate!
12:44 - 12:45	Are we coming up here so I don't burn anything
12:45 - 12:46	with my fire blasts?
12:46 - 12:48	No fire yet.
12:48 - 12:49	What?
12:50 - 12:53	Power in firebending comes from the breath.
12:53 - 12:56	That is why you must master proper breath control.
12:56 - 12:58	You brought me up here to breathe?
12:58 - 13:00	Assume your stance.
13:00 - 13:01	Wider.
13:01 - 13:02	You're not even look... Wider!
13:02 - 13:06	Now, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth...
13:06 - 13:07	Without talking.
13:11 - 13:13	Good. Keep going.
13:23 - 13:25	What are you doing here?
13:25 - 13:26	I did not tell you to stop!
13:26 - 13:28	I've been breathing for hours.
13:28 - 13:30	You want to stop breathing?
13:30 - 13:33	I want you to stop wasting my time.
13:33 - 13:35	I already know how to squat and breathe
13:35 - 13:36	and feel the sun.
13:36 - 13:39	I want to know how to shoot fire out of my fingertips.
13:41 - 13:43	I had a pupil once
13:43 - 13:46	who had no interest in learning discipline.
13:46 - 13:49	He was only concerned with the power of fire...
13:49 - 13:51	How he could use it to destroy his opponents
13:51 - 13:54	and wipe out the obstacles in his path,
13:54 - 13:57	but fire is a horrible burden to bear.
13:58 - 13:59	Its nature is to consume,
14:00 - 14:03	and without control, it destroys everything around it.
14:16 - 14:17	Learn restraint,
14:17 - 14:21	or risk destroying yourself and everything you love.
14:31 - 14:32	I thought about what you said.
14:32 - 14:34	I promise I'll be more patient.
14:35 - 14:37	We're going to work with fire now.
14:38 - 14:39	Oh, yeah!
14:41 - 14:42	I mean...
14:42 - 14:43	Let us begin.
14:46 - 14:48	Concentrate on the fire.
14:49 - 14:51	I want you to keep this flame from reaching the edges of the leaf
14:52 - 14:54	for as long as you can.
14:55 - 14:57	Master, there is trouble!
14:57 - 14:58	What's going on?!
14:58 - 15:00	Concentrate on your leaf.
15:00 - 15:02	This is the worst firebending instruction ever.
15:02 - 15:04	All he does is leave me alone for hours
15:05 - 15:06	to concentrate or breathe.
15:06 - 15:08	I'm sure there's a good reason.
15:08 - 15:11	But I'm ready to do so much more.
15:24 - 15:26	I did it. I made fire!
15:27 - 15:29	Aang, that's great.
15:29 - 15:30	But you should take it slow.
15:30 - 15:32	Whoa! Careful!
15:32 - 15:33	Aagh!
15:33 - 15:35	Now, that's firebending.
15:37 - 15:39	Aang, you'll hurt yourself.
15:44 - 15:46	I wonder how that juggler did it.
15:52 - 15:53	Katara!
15:54 - 15:55	I'm so sorry!
15:56 - 15:58	Katara, what's wrong?
15:58 - 15:59	What did you do?
16:00 - 16:01	It was an accident!
16:01 - 16:03	I was... Uh! Katara, I'm so...
16:04 - 16:06	I told you we shouldn't mess around with this!
16:06 - 16:07	Look what you did!
16:07 - 16:09	You burned my sister!
16:23 - 16:26	You burned my sister!
16:26 - 16:27	This is all your fault!
16:28 - 16:29	I know! Now, pack your things.
16:29 - 16:31	You must leave immediately.
16:32 - 16:33	I'm sorry.
16:33 - 16:35	I didn't...
16:35 - 16:36	I'm sorry!
17:06 - 17:08	You have healing abilities.
17:09 - 17:12	The great benders of the Water Tribes sometimes have this ability.
17:13 - 17:16	I've always wished I were blessed like you...
17:16 - 17:18	Free from this burning curse.
17:18 - 17:20	But you're a great master.
17:20 - 17:22	You have powers I'll never know.
17:22 - 17:25	Water brings healing and life.
17:25 - 17:29	But fire brings only destruction and pain.
17:29 - 17:31	It forces those of us burdened with its care
17:31 - 17:36	to walk a razor's edge between humanity and savagery.
17:36 - 17:39	Eventually we're torn apart.
17:46 - 17:48	Go get your friends and flee!
17:48 - 17:51	Do not come back here or you will all be destroyed!
17:51 - 17:52	Hurry!
18:11 - 18:12	Don't worry, men.
18:12 - 18:15	My old teacher gave up fighting a long time ago...
18:17 - 18:19	Haven't you, Master Jeong Jeong?
18:26 - 18:28	Katara, are you all right?
18:28 - 18:29	I'm fine.
18:29 - 18:30	We've gotta get out of here.
18:30 - 18:31	Where's Aang?
18:39 - 18:42	Jeong Jeong tried to tell me that I wasn't ready.
18:42 - 18:43	I wouldn't listen.
18:43 - 18:45	I'm never gonna firebend again.
18:45 - 18:47	You'll have to eventually.
18:47 - 18:49	No, never again.
18:49 - 18:51	It's ok, Aang. I'm healed.
18:52 - 18:53	What? How?
18:53 - 18:55	I'll explain later.
18:55 - 18:56	But, right now, we have to get out of here.
18:57 - 18:59	Zhao and his soldiers are attacking.
18:59 - 19:00	Where?
19:00 - 19:01	By the river.
19:01 - 19:03	They captured Jeong Jeong.
19:03 - 19:04	I have to help him!
19:05 - 19:06	Look at you.
19:06 - 19:10	You were once so great.
19:10 - 19:12	I can't believe my former master
19:12 - 19:15	has become nothing more than a simple savage.
19:15 - 19:17	It is you who have embraced savagery, Zhao.
19:17 - 19:20	It's Admiral Zhao now.
19:20 - 19:23	That title will not help you against the Avatar.
19:23 - 19:25	Do not try to fight him.
19:25 - 19:26	You are no match.
19:26 - 19:29	I think I can handle a child.
19:29 - 19:33	I have never seen such raw power.
19:34 - 19:35	Jeong Jeong!
19:35 - 19:36	We'll see.
19:36 - 19:38	Men, take The Deserter.
19:46 - 19:47	It's a trick!
19:47 - 19:49	He's run off into the woods.
19:49 - 19:50	Find him!
19:51 - 19:55	Let's find out what my old master has taught you.
19:55 - 19:57	You were Jeong Jeong's student?
19:57 - 19:58	Until I got bored.
20:03 - 20:06	I see he taught you how to duck and run like a coward,
20:06 - 20:10	but I doubt he showed you what a firebender is truly capable of!
20:14 - 20:15	Whoa! Wild shot!
20:15 - 20:17	I'll show you wild!
20:24 - 20:26	No self-control.
20:28 - 20:30	Stand and fight, Avatar!
20:30 - 20:32	Oh, were we fighting?
20:32 - 20:34	I thought you were just getting warmed up.
20:34 - 20:35	I was.
20:37 - 20:39	Is that all you got?
20:39 - 20:41	Man, they'll make anyone an admiral these days.
20:47 - 20:49	Ahoy!
20:49 - 20:50	I'm Admiral Zhao.
20:58 - 21:02	I don't know why, but I thought you'd be better than Zuko.
21:02 - 21:03	Aagh!
21:05 - 21:07	Sloppy.
21:07 - 21:09	Very sloppy.
21:21 - 21:22	Nowhere to run now,
21:22 - 21:24	you little smart mouth.
21:27 - 21:29	You've lost this battle.
21:31 - 21:32	Are you crazy?
21:32 - 21:34	You haven't thrown a single blow.
21:34 - 21:36	No, but you have.
21:42 - 21:44	Jeong Jeong said you had no restraint.
21:53 - 21:56	Have a nice walk home!
21:56 - 21:57	Aang, come on!
21:57 - 21:58	Let's go!
22:01 - 22:03	Wait! Where's Jeong Jeong?
22:03 - 22:04	He disappeared.
22:04 - 22:06	They all did.
22:14 - 22:15	Hey, where'd everybody go?
22:16 - 22:18	Very funny, guys!
22:27 - 22:29	Aang, you're burned.
22:31 - 22:32	Let me help you.
22:45 - 22:47	Wow! That's good water.
22:47 - 22:49	When did you learn how to do that?
22:49 - 22:50	I guess I always knew.
22:51 - 22:52	Oh. Well, then,
22:52 - 22:54	thanks for all the first aid over the years...
22:54 - 22:56	Like, when I fell into the greaseberry bramble,
22:56 - 22:59	and that time I had two fishhooks in my thumb!
22:59 - 23:00	Two?
23:00 - 23:03	He tried to get the first fishhook out with another fishhook.
23:03 - 23:06	Oh, and the time that mink snake bit me.
23:06 - 23:07	Thanks for healing that up.
23:07 - 23:09	That's great. Really helpful.
