0:02 - 0:06	Water, earth,
0:06 - 0:10	fire, 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 - 0:23	Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them.
0:23 - 0:25	But when the world needed him most,
0:25 - 0:26	he vanished.
0:27 - 0:31	A hundred 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 - 0:38	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.
0:59 - 1:02	The Earth Kingdom City of Omashu!
1:05 - 1:07	I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi.
1:07 - 1:08	Wow!
1:08 - 1:10	We don't have cities like this in the South Pole.
1:10 - 1:13	They have buildings here that don't melt.
1:13 - 1:14	Well, let's go, slowpokes.
1:14 - 1:17	The real fun is inside the city!
1:17 - 1:19	Wait, Aang.
1:19 - 1:20	It could be dangerous
1:20 - 1:22	if people find out you're the Avatar.
1:22 - 1:23	You need a disguise.
1:23 - 1:25	So, what am I supposed to do,
1:25 - 1:26	grow a mustache?
1:29 - 1:31	Oh, this is so itchy.
1:31 - 1:34	How do you live in this stuff?
1:35 - 1:36	Great!
1:37 - 1:38	Now you look just like my grandfather.
1:38 - 1:41	Technically, Aang is 112 years old.
1:42 - 1:44	Now, let's get to skipping, young whipper snappers!
1:45 - 1:46	The big city awaits!
2:02 - 2:04	You guys are gonna love Omashu.
2:04 - 2:07	The people here are the friendliest in the world.
2:09 - 2:11	What kind of slum do you think this is?
2:17 - 2:19	No! My cabbages!
2:22 - 2:24	Just keep smiling.
2:26 - 2:27	Heh heh heh.
2:30 - 2:32	State your business!
2:33 - 2:35	My business is my business, young man,
2:35 - 2:37	and none of yours.
2:37 - 2:39	I've got half a mind to bend you over my knee
2:39 - 2:40	and paddle your backside.
2:40 - 2:42	Settle down, old timer.
2:42 - 2:44	Just tell me who you are.
2:44 - 2:49	Name's Bonzoo Pippenpadlopsicopolis the Third.
2:49 - 2:51	And these are my grandkids.
2:51 - 2:53	Hi. June Pippenpadlopsicopolis.
2:53 - 2:54	Nice to meet you.
2:56 - 2:58	You seem like a responsible young lady.
2:58 - 3:01	See that your grandfather stays out of trouble.
3:01 - 3:02	Enjoy Omashu.
3:02 - 3:03	We will.
3:06 - 3:08	Wait a minute!
3:10 - 3:12	You're a strong young boy.
3:13 - 3:14	Show some respect for the elderly
3:14 - 3:16	and carry your grandfather's bag.
3:17 - 3:18	Good idea.
3:46 - 3:48	This is the Omashu delivery system...
3:49 - 3:51	Miles and miles of tubes and chutes.
3:53 - 3:56	Earthbending brings the packages up,
3:56 - 3:58	and gravity brings them down.
3:59 - 4:01	Great, so they get their mail on time.
4:01 - 4:03	They do get their mail on time.
4:03 - 4:06	But my friend Bumi found a better use for these chutes.
4:10 - 4:11	Look around you!
4:11 - 4:12	What do you see?!
4:12 - 4:15	Um... The mail system.
4:15 - 4:17	Instead of seeing what they want you to see,
4:17 - 4:20	you gotta open your brain to the possibilities.
4:20 - 4:22	A package-sending system?
4:22 - 4:25	The world's greatest super slide!
4:25 - 4:28	Bumi, you're a mad genius.
4:35 - 4:37	Yeah! Ha ha ha ha!
4:40 - 4:41	One ride...
4:42 - 4:43	Then we're off to the North Pole...
4:43 - 4:45	Airbender's honor.
4:45 - 4:46	This sounded like fun at first,
4:46 - 4:48	but now that I'm here,
4:48 - 4:52	I'm starting to have second thoughts!
4:57 - 4:58	Yeah!
4:58 - 5:00	Ha ha ha ha!
5:14 - 5:15	I'm on it!
5:20 - 5:24	Men, you'll be going off to combat soon.
5:24 - 5:26	It's important that you be prepared for anything.
5:36 - 5:37	Aang, do something!
5:37 - 5:39	Use your airbending!
5:39 - 5:41	Yeah! Good idea!
5:41 - 5:43	That will make us go even faster.
6:18 - 6:19	Sorry!
6:37 - 6:38	My cabbages!
6:38 - 6:40	You're gonna pay for this!
6:42 - 6:43	Two cabbages, please.
6:56 - 6:57	Hmm?
6:57 - 6:59	Your Majesty,
6:59 - 7:01	these juveniles were arrested for vandalism,
7:01 - 7:03	traveling under false pretenses,
7:03 - 7:04	and malicious destruction of cabbages.
7:04 - 7:06	Off with their heads!
7:06 - 7:07	One for each head of cabbage!
7:08 - 7:09	Silence!
7:09 - 7:11	Only the king can pass down judgment.
7:11 - 7:13	What is your judgment, sire?
7:13 - 7:15	Hmm.
7:25 - 7:28	Throw them...
7:28 - 7:29	A feast.
7:29 - 7:31	Ugh!
7:31 - 7:32	Huh?
7:41 - 7:42	The people in my city
7:42 - 7:45	have gotten fat from too many feasts.
7:45 - 7:49	So, I hope you like your chicken with no skin.
7:49 - 7:50	Thanks, but I don't eat meat.
7:50 - 7:52	How about you?
7:52 - 7:54	I bet you like meat.
7:56 - 7:58	Is it just me,
7:58 - 8:00	or is this guy's crown a little crooked?
8:01 - 8:04	So, tell me, young bald one,
8:04 - 8:05	where are you from?
8:06 - 8:08	I'm from Kangaroo Island.
8:09 - 8:12	Oh, Kangaroo Island, eh?
8:12 - 8:15	I hear that place is really hopping.
8:21 - 8:22	What?
8:22 - 8:23	It was pretty funny.
8:25 - 8:29	All these good jokes are making me tired.
8:29 - 8:31	Guess it's time to hit the hay.
8:36 - 8:38	There's an airbender in our presence,
8:38 - 8:41	and not just any airbender...
8:41 - 8:43	The Avatar.
8:45 - 8:47	Now, what do you have to say for yourself,
8:47 - 8:50	Mr. Pippenpadlopsicopolis?
8:56 - 8:59	Ok, you caught me.
8:59 - 9:00	I'm the Avatar...
9:00 - 9:02	Doing my Avatar thing,
9:02 - 9:04	keeping the world safe.
9:04 - 9:05	Everything checks out.
9:05 - 9:07	No firebenders here.
9:07 - 9:08	So, good work, everybody.
9:08 - 9:09	Love each other,
9:09 - 9:10	respect all life,
9:11 - 9:12	and don't run with your spears.
9:13 - 9:14	We'll see you next time!
9:17 - 9:18	You can't keep us here.
9:18 - 9:20	Let us leave!
9:21 - 9:22	Lettuce leaf?
9:25 - 9:27	We're in serious trouble.
9:27 - 9:28	This guy is nuts.
9:29 - 9:33	Tomorrow, the Avatar will face three deadly challenges.
9:33 - 9:37	But for now, the guards will show you to your chamber.
9:37 - 9:40	My liege, do you mean the good chamber or the bad chamber?
9:40 - 9:41	The newly-refurbished chamber.
9:42 - 9:44	Wait. Which one are we talking about?
9:44 - 9:47	The one that used to be the bad chamber...
9:47 - 9:49	Until the recent refurbishing, that is.
9:49 - 9:52	Of course, we've been calling it the new chamber,
9:52 - 9:53	but we really should number them.
9:53 - 9:54	Uh...
9:54 - 9:56	Take them to the refurbished chamber
9:56 - 9:58	that was once bad.
10:07 - 10:08	This is a prison cell?
10:08 - 10:09	But it's so nice.
10:09 - 10:12	He did say it was newly refurbished.
10:12 - 10:14	Nice or not, we're prisoners.
10:14 - 10:16	I wonder what these challenges are gonna be.
10:16 - 10:19	We're not sticking around to find out.
10:19 - 10:20	There's gotta be some way out of here.
10:20 - 10:22	The air vents!
10:24 - 10:26	If you think we're gonna fit through there,
10:26 - 10:27	you're crazier than that king.
10:27 - 10:28	We can't.
10:29 - 10:30	But Momo can.
10:32 - 10:34	Momo, I need you to find Appa
10:34 - 10:36	and bust us out of here.
10:44 - 10:45	Go on, boy!
10:45 - 10:46	Get Appa!
10:47 - 10:50	Eh, how was Appa supposed to save us anyway?
10:50 - 10:52	Appa is a 10-ton flying bison.
10:52 - 10:54	I think he could figure something out.
10:55 - 10:58	Well, no point arguing about it now.
10:58 - 11:00	Get some rest, Aang.
11:00 - 11:02	Looks like you'll need it for tomorrow.
11:10 - 11:12	Sokka? Katara?
11:13 - 11:14	Where are my friends?
11:14 - 11:17	The king will free them if you complete your challenges.
11:17 - 11:18	And if I fail?
11:19 - 11:20	He didn't say.
11:20 - 11:21	Your staff, please?
11:27 - 11:29	First, Avatar,
11:29 - 11:31	what do you think of my new outfit?
11:31 - 11:33	I want your honest opinion.
11:36 - 11:38	I'm waiting.
11:38 - 11:39	I...
11:39 - 11:40	Guess it's fine.
11:41 - 11:42	Excellent.
11:42 - 11:43	You've passed the first test.
11:43 - 11:44	Really?
11:45 - 11:46	Well...
11:46 - 11:47	Not one of the deadly tests.
11:47 - 11:49	The real challenges are much more...
11:49 - 11:50	Challenging.
11:53 - 11:56	I don't have time for your crazy games.
11:56 - 11:58	Give me my friends back. We're leaving!
11:58 - 12:01	Oh, I thought you might refuse,
12:01 - 12:05	so I will give your friends some special souvenirs.
12:06 - 12:07	Those delightful rings
12:07 - 12:09	are made of pure genomite...
12:09 - 12:12	Also known as Creeping Crystal.
12:12 - 12:15	It's crystal that grows remarkably fast.
12:15 - 12:19	By nightfall, your friends will be completely covered in it.
12:19 - 12:21	Terrible fate, really.
12:21 - 12:22	I can stop it,
12:22 - 12:24	but only if you cooperate.
12:25 - 12:27	Agh! It's already creeping!
12:29 - 12:30	I'll do what you want.
12:30 - 12:32	Hmm!
12:36 - 12:38	Ha ha ha ha ha!
12:42 - 12:45	It seems I've lost my lunchbox key,
12:45 - 12:46	and I'm hungry.
12:50 - 12:52	Oh, there it is!
12:52 - 12:54	Would you mind fetching it for me?
13:11 - 13:12	Ooh!
13:13 - 13:14	Climbing the ladder.
13:14 - 13:16	No one's thought of that before!
13:18 - 13:19	Aah!
13:45 - 13:46	That's right.
13:46 - 13:47	Keep diving head in.
13:47 - 13:49	I'm sure it will work eventually.
14:03 - 14:04	Huh?
14:05 - 14:07	There! Enjoy your lunch!
14:07 - 14:09	I want my friends back now!
14:09 - 14:10	Uh, not yet.
14:10 - 14:12	I need help with another matter.
14:13 - 14:16	It seems I've lost my pet Flopsy.
14:17 - 14:18	Ok, found him.
14:18 - 14:20	Bring him to me.
14:20 - 14:22	Daddy wants a kiss from Flopsy.
14:22 - 14:24	Come here, Flopsy.
14:25 - 14:27	Heh heh.
14:32 - 14:33	Flopsy, wait!
14:33 - 14:34	Flopsy!
14:38 - 14:40	Flopsy!
14:51 - 14:52	Wait a minute.
14:56 - 14:57	Flopsy?
15:03 - 15:04	Flopsy!
15:11 - 15:14	Oh, that's a good boy.
15:14 - 15:16	Yes! Who has a soft belly?
15:19 - 15:20	Guys, are you ok?
15:20 - 15:23	Other than the crystal slowly encasing my entire body,
15:23 - 15:24	doing great.
15:28 - 15:30	Oh, yes.
15:30 - 15:33	Come on. I'm ready for the next challenge.
15:33 - 15:36	Ah! Ha ha ha ha ha!
15:39 - 15:42	Your final test is a duel.
15:42 - 15:44	And, as a special treat,
15:44 - 15:46	you may choose your opponent.
15:55 - 15:56	Point and choose.
15:57 - 16:00	So, you're saying whoever I point to...
16:00 - 16:02	That's the person I get to fight?
16:03 - 16:04	Choose wisely.
16:06 - 16:07	I...
16:08 - 16:10	Choose...
16:10 - 16:11	You.
16:11 - 16:13	Ha ha. Wrong choice.
16:24 - 16:25	Whoa!
16:26 - 16:27	Oof!
16:40 - 16:43	You thought I was a frail old man,
16:43 - 16:47	but I'm the most powerful earthbender you'll ever see.
16:47 - 16:50	Can I fight the guy with the ax instead?
16:50 - 16:53	There are no take-backsies in my kingdom.
16:54 - 16:55	You might need this.
17:02 - 17:04	Typical airbender tactic...
17:04 - 17:06	Avoid and evade.
17:06 - 17:08	I'd hoped the Avatar would be less predictable.
17:11 - 17:13	Don't you have any surprises for me?
17:13 - 17:16	Sooner or later, you'll have to strike back.
17:32 - 17:35	Oh, you'll have to be a little more creative than that.
17:46 - 17:49	Did someone leave the windows open?
17:49 - 17:51	It feels a little drafty in here.
17:51 - 17:54	Are you hoping I'll catch a cold?
18:08 - 18:12	How are you going to get me from way over there?
18:34 - 18:35	Oof!
19:19 - 19:20	Aah!
19:23 - 19:24	Huh.
19:28 - 19:31	Ha ha. Well done, Avatar.
19:31 - 19:34	You fight with much fire in your heart.
19:38 - 19:39	Huh?
19:46 - 19:49	You've passed all my tests.
19:49 - 19:52	Now, you must answer one question.
19:52 - 19:53	That's not fair.
19:53 - 19:56	You said you would release my friends if I finish your tests.
19:56 - 20:00	Oh, but what's the point of tests if you don't learn anything?
20:00 - 20:01	Oh, come on!
20:01 - 20:03	Answer this one question
20:03 - 20:06	and I will set your friends free.
20:07 - 20:09	What is my name?
20:11 - 20:12	From the looks of your friends,
20:12 - 20:15	I'd say you only have a few minutes.
20:16 - 20:17	How am I supposed to know his name?
20:18 - 20:19	Think about the challenges.
20:19 - 20:21	Maybe it's some kind of riddle.
20:21 - 20:22	I got it! Yeah?
20:22 - 20:24	He's an earthbender, right?
20:24 - 20:25	Rocky...
20:26 - 20:28	You know, because of all the rocks.
20:28 - 20:29	We're gonna keep trying,
20:29 - 20:30	but that is a good backup.
20:30 - 20:33	Ok, so back to the challenges.
20:33 - 20:35	I got a key from a waterfall,
20:35 - 20:37	I saved his pet, and I had a duel.
20:37 - 20:38	And what did you learn?
20:38 - 20:42	Well, everything was different than I expected.
20:42 - 20:44	And...
20:44 - 20:46	Well...
20:46 - 20:49	They weren't straightforward. To solve each test,
20:49 - 20:52	I had to think differently than I usually would.
20:52 - 20:54	I know his name.
20:56 - 20:59	I solved the question the same way I solved the challenges.
21:00 - 21:02	As you said a long time ago,
21:02 - 21:04	I had to open my brain to the possibilities.
21:05 - 21:08	( LAUGHS, SNORTS )
21:08 - 21:10	Bumi, you're a mad genius.
21:12 - 21:15	Oh, Aang, it's good to see you.
21:15 - 21:18	You haven't changed a bit...
21:18 - 21:19	Literally.
21:20 - 21:21	Uh, over here.
21:21 - 21:22	A little help.
21:26 - 21:28	Genomite is made of rock candy.
21:29 - 21:30	Delicious!
21:31 - 21:34	So, this crazy king is your old friend Bumi?
21:34 - 21:36	Who you calling old?
21:36 - 21:38	Ok, I'm old.
21:38 - 21:40	Why did you do all this
21:40 - 21:42	instead of just telling Aang who you were?
21:42 - 21:43	First of all,
21:43 - 21:45	it's pretty fun messing with people.
21:45 - 21:46	Ha ha.
21:46 - 21:48	But I do have a reason.
21:48 - 21:51	Aang, you have a difficult task ahead.
21:51 - 21:54	The world has changed in the 100 years you've been gone.
21:55 - 21:58	It's the duty of the Avatar to restore balance to the world
21:58 - 22:00	by defeating Fire Lord Ozai.
22:00 - 22:01	You have much to learn.
22:02 - 22:04	You must master the four elements
22:04 - 22:06	and confront the Fire Lord.
22:06 - 22:07	And when you do,
22:07 - 22:10	I hope you will think like a mad genius.
22:13 - 22:16	And it looks like you're in good hands.
22:17 - 22:20	You'll need your friends to help you defeat the Fire Nation.
22:22 - 22:24	And you'll need Momo, too.
22:24 - 22:26	Thank you for your wisdom.
22:26 - 22:27	But before we leave,
22:27 - 22:29	I have a challenge for you.
22:31 - 22:33	Yeah! Whoo!
22:37 - 22:39	My cabbages!
