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.
1:08 - 1:10	Great. You're back. What's for dinner?
1:10 - 1:12	We've got a few options.
1:12 - 1:16	First, round nuts and some kind of oval-shaped nuts.
1:16 - 1:19	And some rock-shaped nuts that might just be rocks.
1:21 - 1:23	Dig in.
1:23 - 1:26	Seriously, what else you got?
1:34 - 1:35	What was that?
1:41 - 1:43	It's coming from over there.
1:43 - 1:47	Shouldn't we run away from huge booms, not toward them?
1:57 - 1:58	Hyah.
1:58 - 2:00	An earthbender.
2:00 - 2:01	Let's go meet him.
2:01 - 2:04	He looks dangerous, so we better approach cautiously.
2:04 - 2:06	Hello there! I'm Katara.
2:06 - 2:07	What's your name?
2:07 - 2:09	Ah!
2:16 - 2:17	Nice to meet you!
2:18 - 2:19	I just wanted to say hi.
2:20 - 2:22	Hey, that guy's got to be running somewhere.
2:22 - 2:23	Maybe we're near a village.
2:24 - 2:26	And I bet that village has a market.
2:26 - 2:28	Which means no nuts for dinner.
2:28 - 2:30	Hey! I worked hard to get those nuts.
2:32 - 2:33	Yeah, I hate them, too.
2:42 - 2:43	Great hat.
2:43 - 2:45	I'll trade you some nuts for it.
2:48 - 2:49	Hey!
2:51 - 2:52	Hi, Mom.
2:52 - 2:53	Where have you been, Haru?
2:53 - 2:54	You're late!
2:54 - 2:56	Get started on your chores.
2:56 - 2:58	Hey! You're that kid.
2:58 - 2:59	Ah!
2:59 - 3:00	Why did you run away before?
3:00 - 3:03	Uh... You must have me confused with some other kid.
3:03 - 3:06	No, she doesn't. We saw you earthbending.
3:08 - 3:09	They saw you doing what?
3:10 - 3:11	They're crazy, Mom.
3:11 - 3:12	I mean, look at how they're dressed.
3:15 - 3:17	You know how dangerous that is.
3:17 - 3:20	You know what would happen if they caught you earthbending.
3:20 - 3:22	Open up!
3:25 - 3:26	Fire Nation. Act natural.
3:36 - 3:37	Aah!
3:38 - 3:41	What do you want? I've already paid you this week.
3:41 - 3:42	The tax just doubled.
3:43 - 3:45	We wouldn't want an accident, would we?
3:45 - 3:49	Fire is sometimes so hard to control.
3:57 - 3:59	You can keep the copper ones.
4:04 - 4:05	Nice guy.
4:05 - 4:07	How long has the Fire Nation been here?
4:07 - 4:10	Five years. Fire Lord Ozai
4:10 - 4:13	uses our town's coal mines to fuel his ships.
4:13 - 4:15	They're thugs. They steal from us.
4:15 - 4:17	And everyone here is too much of a coward
4:17 - 4:18	to do anything about it.
4:18 - 4:20	Quiet, Haru!
4:20 - 4:21	Don't talk like that!
4:21 - 4:23	But Haru's an earthbender.
4:23 - 4:24	He can help.
4:24 - 4:26	Earthbending is forbidden.
4:26 - 4:28	It's caused nothing but misery for this village.
4:28 - 4:31	He must never use his abilities.
4:31 - 4:32	How can you say that?
4:32 - 4:34	Haru has a gift.
4:34 - 4:36	Asking him not to earthbend
4:36 - 4:38	is like asking me not to waterbend.
4:38 - 4:39	It's a part of who we are.
4:40 - 4:41	You don't understand.
4:41 - 4:44	I understand that Haru can help you fight back.
4:45 - 4:46	What can the Fire Nation do to you
4:46 - 4:48	that they haven't done already?
4:48 - 4:50	They could take Haru away,
4:50 - 4:52	like they took his father.
5:00 - 5:02	My mom said you can sleep here tonight.
5:02 - 5:04	But you should leave in the morning.
5:04 - 5:07	Thanks. I'll make sure Appa doesn't eat all your hay.
5:13 - 5:15	I'm sorry about what I said earlier.
5:15 - 5:17	I didn't know about your father.
5:17 - 5:18	That's ok.
5:18 - 5:22	It's funny. The way you were talking back in the store,
5:22 - 5:24	it reminded me of him.
5:24 - 5:25	Thanks.
5:25 - 5:27	My father was very courageous.
5:27 - 5:28	When the Fire Nation invaded,
5:29 - 5:31	he and the other earthbenders were outnumbered ten to one.
5:31 - 5:33	But they fought back anyway.
5:33 - 5:35	He sounds like a great man.
5:36 - 5:38	After the attack, they rounded up my father
5:38 - 5:40	and every other earthbender
5:40 - 5:43	and took them away. We haven't seen them since.
5:43 - 5:45	So that's why you hide your earthbending.
5:45 - 5:46	Yeah.
5:47 - 5:49	The problem is,
5:49 - 5:52	the only way I can feel close to my father now
5:52 - 5:54	is when I practice my bending.
5:55 - 5:57	He taught me everything I know.
5:59 - 6:01	See this necklace?
6:01 - 6:02	My mother gave it to me.
6:03 - 6:04	It's beautiful.
6:04 - 6:07	I lost my mother in a Fire Nation raid.
6:07 - 6:09	This necklace is all I have left of her.
6:09 - 6:11	It's not enough, is it?
6:11 - 6:12	No.
6:17 - 6:19	Aah! Help!
6:19 - 6:20	The mine!
6:20 - 6:22	Aah...
6:23 - 6:24	Help me!
6:31 - 6:32	Ah! It's not working.
6:32 - 6:34	We have to get help.
6:34 - 6:36	There's no time. Pull harder!
6:36 - 6:39	Haru, there's a way you can help him.
6:39 - 6:40	I can't.
6:40 - 6:42	Please. There's no one around to see you.
6:43 - 6:44	It's the only way!
6:53 - 6:55	Ah!
6:57 - 6:58	Haru, you did it!
7:07 - 7:09	It was so brave of Haru to use his earthbending
7:09 - 7:11	to help that old man.
7:11 - 7:13	You must have really inspired him.
7:13 - 7:14	I guess so.
7:14 - 7:16	Everyone should get some sleep.
7:16 - 7:17	We're leaving at dawn.
7:17 - 7:19	Dawn? Can't we sleep in for once?
7:19 - 7:20	Absolutely not!
7:20 - 7:22	This village is crawling with Fire Nation troops.
7:23 - 7:24	If they discover you're here, Aang,
7:24 - 7:26	we'll be eating fireballs for breakfast.
7:26 - 7:27	Good night.
7:27 - 7:29	I'd rather eat fireballs than nuts.
7:29 - 7:31	Good night.
7:53 - 7:55	Ah!
7:55 - 7:56	That's him!
7:56 - 7:58	That's the earthbender!
7:58 - 7:59	Aah!
8:28 - 8:29	They took him!
8:29 - 8:31	They took Haru away! What?
8:31 - 8:33	The old man turned him in to the Fire Nation.
8:33 - 8:35	It's all my fault. I forced him into earthbending.
8:35 - 8:38	Slow down, Katara. When did this happen?
8:38 - 8:41	Haru's mother said they came for him at midnight.
8:41 - 8:43	Then it's too late to track him. He's long gone.
8:43 - 8:44	We don't need to track him.
8:44 - 8:47	The Fire Nation is going to take me right to Haru.
8:47 - 8:49	And why would they do that?
8:49 - 8:53	Because they're going to arrest me for earthbending.
8:56 - 8:58	I thought you were crazy at first, Katara,
8:58 - 8:59	but this might work.
8:59 - 9:01	There are ventilation shafts throughout these mines.
9:01 - 9:03	All Aang has to do is send an air current
9:03 - 9:05	from that vent to this one right here.
9:05 - 9:07	The boulder levitates and ta-da...
9:07 - 9:08	Fake earthbending.
9:09 - 9:10	Aang, did you get all that?
9:10 - 9:12	Sure, sure. I got it.
9:12 - 9:14	Do you remember your cue?
9:14 - 9:16	Yeah, yeah. Just relax.
9:16 - 9:18	You're taking all the fun out of this.
9:18 - 9:20	By "this" do you mean intentionally being captured
9:20 - 9:22	by an army of ruthless firebenders?
9:22 - 9:25	Exactly. That's fun stuff.
9:25 - 9:27	Here they come. Get in your places.
9:30 - 9:32	Uh! Get out of my way, pipsqueak.
9:32 - 9:37	How dare you call me pipsqueak, you giant-eared cretin?
9:37 - 9:39	What did you call me?
9:39 - 9:41	A giant-eared cretin.
9:41 - 9:42	Look at those things.
9:42 - 9:45	Do herds of animals use them for shade?
9:45 - 9:47	You better back off!
9:47 - 9:48	Seriously, back off.
9:48 - 9:50	I will not back off!
9:50 - 9:52	I bet elephants get together
9:52 - 9:55	and make fun of how large your ears are.
9:55 - 9:57	That's it! You're going down.
9:57 - 9:59	I'll show you who's boss,
10:00 - 10:02	earthbending style.
10:05 - 10:09	I said, "earthbending style!"
10:12 - 10:15	That lemur. He's earthbending.
10:17 - 10:19	No, you idiot. It's the girl.
10:20 - 10:22	Oh. Of course.
10:23 - 10:24	I'll hold her!
10:25 - 10:27	You've got 12 hours to find Haru.
10:27 - 10:29	We'll be right behind you.
10:37 - 10:39	Momo, you have some big ears.
11:18 - 11:21	She'll be fine, Aang. Katara knows what she's doing.
11:28 - 11:32	Earthbenders, it is my pleasure to welcome you
11:32 - 11:35	aboard my modest shipyard.
11:35 - 11:37	I am your warden.
11:37 - 11:40	I prefer to think of you not as prisoners,
11:41 - 11:43	but as honored guests.
11:43 - 11:45	And I hope you come to think of me
11:45 - 11:49	as your humble and caring host.
11:49 - 11:52	You will succeed here if you simply abide...
11:55 - 11:56	Hyah!
11:58 - 12:02	What kind of guest dishonors his host by interrupting him?
12:02 - 12:03	Take him below.
12:04 - 12:08	One week in solitary will improve his manners.
12:08 - 12:11	Simply treat me with the courtesy I give you
12:11 - 12:15	and we'll get along famously.
12:15 - 12:17	You will notice, earthbenders,
12:17 - 12:21	that this rig is made entirely of metal.
12:21 - 12:25	You are miles away from any rock or earth.
12:25 - 12:28	So, if you have any illusions about employing
12:28 - 12:31	that brutish savagery that passes for bending
12:31 - 12:34	among you people, forget them.
12:35 - 12:38	It is impossible.
12:39 - 12:40	Good day.
13:05 - 13:07	Katara?
13:07 - 13:08	Haru!
13:08 - 13:09	What are you doing here?
13:10 - 13:11	It's my fault you were captured.
13:12 - 13:13	I came to rescue you.
13:13 - 13:15	So you got yourself arrested?
13:15 - 13:17	It was the only way to find you.
13:17 - 13:20	You've got guts, Katara. I'll give you that.
13:20 - 13:23	Come on. There's someone I want you to meet.
13:24 - 13:27	Katara, this is my father, Tyro.
13:28 - 13:30	Dad, this is Katara.
13:30 - 13:32	It's an honor to meet you.
13:33 - 13:35	Have some dinner, Katara.
13:36 - 13:37	Ew.
13:38 - 13:40	It's not as bad as it looks.
13:42 - 13:43	Eew!
13:43 - 13:45	It's still pretty bad, though.
13:45 - 13:47	Tyro, the prisoners are complaining
13:47 - 13:49	there aren't enough blankets to go around.
13:49 - 13:50	I'll talk to the guards.
13:51 - 13:53	In the meantime, make sure the elderly are taken care of.
13:54 - 13:56	The rest of us will simply have to hope for warmer weather.
13:56 - 13:58	If you don't mind me asking,
13:58 - 13:59	what's your escape plan?
13:59 - 14:00	Excuse me?
14:00 - 14:03	You know, the plan to get everyone off the rig?
14:03 - 14:05	What is it? Mutiny, sabotage?
14:05 - 14:08	The plan? The plan is to survive,
14:08 - 14:10	wait out this war, hope that one day
14:11 - 14:13	some of us can get back home and forget this ever happened.
14:13 - 14:15	How can you say that?
14:15 - 14:17	You sound like you've already given up.
14:17 - 14:20	Katara, I admire your courage.
14:20 - 14:22	And I envy your youth.
14:22 - 14:25	But people's lives are at stake here.
14:25 - 14:27	The warden is a ruthless man,
14:27 - 14:29	and he won't stand for any rebellion.
14:30 - 14:33	I'm sorry, but we're powerless.
14:33 - 14:34	We'll see about that.
14:38 - 14:40	Earthbenders!
14:40 - 14:43	You don't know me, but I know of you.
14:43 - 14:46	Every child in my water tribe village was rocked to sleep
14:46 - 14:49	with stories of the brave Earth Kingdom
14:49 - 14:52	and the courageous earthbenders who guard its borders.
14:52 - 14:54	Some of you may think that the Fire Nation
14:54 - 14:56	has made you powerless.
14:56 - 14:59	Yes. They have taken away your ability to bend.
14:59 - 15:02	But they can't take away your courage.
15:02 - 15:04	And it is your courage they should truly fear,
15:04 - 15:06	because it runs deeper than any mine
15:07 - 15:08	you've been forced to dig,
15:08 - 15:11	any ocean that keeps you far from home.
15:11 - 15:13	It is the strength of your hearts
15:13 - 15:14	that make you who you are,
15:14 - 15:18	hearts that will remain unbroken when all rock and stone
15:18 - 15:19	has eroded away.
15:19 - 15:22	The time to fight back is now!
15:22 - 15:25	I can tell you the Avatar has returned!
15:25 - 15:27	So remember your courage, earthbenders!
15:27 - 15:30	Let us fight for our freedom!
16:04 - 16:05	Ah!
16:05 - 16:06	Shh.
16:10 - 16:11	Your 12 hours are up. Where is Haru?
16:11 - 16:13	We've got to get out of here.
16:13 - 16:15	I can't.
16:15 - 16:17	We don't have much time. There are guards everywhere.
16:17 - 16:18	Get on!
16:19 - 16:20	Katara, what's wrong?
16:20 - 16:22	I'm not leaving.
16:23 - 16:25	I'm not giving up on these people.
16:31 - 16:33	What do you mean, you're not leaving?
16:33 - 16:35	We can't abandon these people.
16:35 - 16:37	There has to be a way to help them.
16:37 - 16:40	Maybe she's right. What do you say, Sokka?
16:40 - 16:41	I say you're both crazy.
16:43 - 16:46	Last chance. We need to leave now.
16:46 - 16:47	No.
16:48 - 16:50	I hate when you get like this.
16:50 - 16:51	Come on, we better hide.
16:53 - 16:54	Go.
16:59 - 17:00	Look!
17:01 - 17:03	Tell me exactly what you saw.
17:03 - 17:05	Well, sir, it looked like a flying bison.
17:05 - 17:06	What?
17:07 - 17:08	It was a giant, flying buffalo, sir,
17:09 - 17:10	with an empty saddle.
17:10 - 17:13	Which was it, a buffalo or a bison?
17:13 - 17:16	I'm not sure what the difference is,
17:16 - 17:18	but that's not really the point, is it, sir?
17:18 - 17:21	I'll decide what the point is, fool!
17:21 - 17:23	Aah!
17:24 - 17:28	You! Wake up the captain! Search the entire rig!
17:28 - 17:30	Sir. What?
17:30 - 17:33	That was the captain you just threw overboard, so...
17:33 - 17:36	Then wake up someone I haven't thrown overboard
17:36 - 17:37	and search the rig.
17:37 - 17:40	There's something going on here, and I don't like it.
17:48 - 17:51	We don't have much time. What are we gonna do?
17:51 - 17:53	I wish I knew how to make a hurricane.
17:54 - 17:57	The warden would run away, and we would steal his keys.
17:57 - 17:59	Wouldn't he just take his keys with him?
17:59 - 18:01	I'm just tossing ideas around.
18:01 - 18:03	I tried talking the earthbenders
18:03 - 18:05	into fighting back, but it didn't work.
18:05 - 18:08	If there was just a way to help them help themselves.
18:08 - 18:12	For that they need some kind of earth or some rock,
18:12 - 18:14	something they can bend.
18:14 - 18:16	But this entire place is made of metal.
18:19 - 18:21	No, it's not. Look at the smoke.
18:21 - 18:24	I bet they're burning coal.
18:24 - 18:25	In other words...
18:25 - 18:27	Earth.
18:30 - 18:33	It's almost dawn. We're running out of time.
18:33 - 18:34	You sure this is gonna work?
18:35 - 18:36	It should.
18:36 - 18:37	These vents reminded me of our little trick
18:37 - 18:39	back at the village.
18:39 - 18:42	We're gonna do the same thing, but on a much bigger scale.
18:42 - 18:45	There's a huge deposit of coal at the base of this island.
18:45 - 18:46	And the whole system is ventilated.
18:46 - 18:49	Aang closed off all the vents except one.
18:49 - 18:50	When he does his airbending,
18:50 - 18:52	the coal only has one place to go...
18:52 - 18:53	Right back here.
18:53 - 18:55	There's the intruder!
18:55 - 18:57	Stay back! I'm warning you!
18:57 - 19:00	Katara, stop. You can't win this fight.
19:03 - 19:05	Listen to him well, child.
19:05 - 19:07	You're one mistake away
19:07 - 19:10	from dying where you stand.
19:30 - 19:32	Here's your chance, earthbenders!
19:33 - 19:35	Take it! Your fate is in your own hands!
19:44 - 19:45	Foolish girl.
19:46 - 19:48	You thought a few inspirational words
19:48 - 19:52	and some coal would change these people?
19:52 - 19:56	Look at these blank hopeless faces.
19:56 - 19:59	Their spirits were broken a long time ago.
19:59 - 20:03	Oh, but you still believed in them.
20:03 - 20:05	How sweet.
20:05 - 20:09	They're a waste of your energy, little girl.
20:09 - 20:11	You failed.
20:15 - 20:16	Grr.
20:18 - 20:19	Hyah!
20:25 - 20:27	Show no mercy!
20:30 - 20:31	Aah!
20:31 - 20:32	For the Earth Kingdom,
20:33 - 20:34	attack!
21:10 - 21:12	Get to the ship! We'll hold them off!
21:12 - 21:14	Do not let them escape!
21:17 - 21:19	Guys, throw me some coal!
21:33 - 21:36	No, please. I can't swim.
21:36 - 21:39	Don't worry. I hear cowards float.
21:49 - 21:52	I want to thank you for saving me,
21:52 - 21:53	for saving us.
21:53 - 21:55	All it took was a little coal.
21:55 - 21:58	It wasn't the coal, Katara.
21:58 - 21:59	It was you.
21:59 - 22:02	Thank you for helping me find my courage,
22:02 - 22:04	Katara of the water tribe.
22:04 - 22:06	My family and everyone here
22:07 - 22:08	owes you much.
22:09 - 22:11	So, I guess you're going home now.
22:11 - 22:14	Yes, to take back my village.
22:14 - 22:16	To take back all of our villages!
22:16 - 22:18	The Fire Nation will regret the day
22:18 - 22:20	they set foot on our land!
22:21 - 22:23	Come with us.
22:23 - 22:24	I can't.
22:24 - 22:26	Your mission is to take back your home.
22:26 - 22:30	Ours is to get Aang to the North Pole.
22:30 - 22:32	That's him, isn't it? The Avatar.
22:34 - 22:38	Katara, thank you for bringing my father back to me.
22:38 - 22:40	I never thought I'd see him again.
22:40 - 22:42	I only wish there was some way...
22:42 - 22:43	I know.
22:43 - 22:46	My mother's necklace! It's gone!
