0:02 - 0:03
|
Water.
|
0:04 - 0:06
|
Earth.
|
0:06 - 0:08
|
Fire.
|
0:08 - 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 - 0:26
|
But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
|
0:27 - 0:29
|
A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered
|
0:29 - 0:32
|
the new Avatar, 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 - 0:41
|
But I believe Aang can save the world.
|
1:00 - 1:01
|
What's that smell?
|
1:02 - 1:06
|
It's jook. I'm sure you wouldn't like it.
|
1:08 - 1:12
|
Actually, it smells delicious. I'd love a bowl, Uncle.
|
1:14 - 1:18
|
Now that your fever is gone, you seem different somehow.
|
1:19 - 1:21
|
It's a new day.
|
1:21 - 1:23
|
We've got a new apartment, new furniture,
|
1:23 - 1:26
|
and today's the grand opening of your new tea shop.
|
1:26 - 1:29
|
Things are looking up, Uncle.
|
1:33 - 1:35
|
You haven't seen your Dad in over two years.
|
1:35 - 1:37
|
You must be so excited.
|
1:38 - 1:41
|
I know I should be, but I just feel sick to my stomach.
|
1:42 - 1:45
|
Don't be nervous, he's gonna be so happy to see you.
|
1:45 - 1:46
|
So what about you?
|
1:47 - 1:48
|
Are you nervous to meet this Guru?
|
1:48 - 1:49
|
Not at all.
|
1:50 - 1:51
|
I'm ready to master the Avatar State.
|
1:51 - 1:53
|
I'll do whatever it takes.
|
1:55 - 1:57
|
See you in a week.
|
1:57 - 1:58
|
Yip! Yip!
|
2:14 - 2:17
|
Sokka, good to see you.
|
2:36 - 2:37
|
Sokka.
|
2:38 - 2:39
|
Hi, Dad.
|
2:46 - 2:47
|
Look, Bosco,
|
2:47 - 2:50
|
the Kyoshi Warriors are here to protect us.
|
2:51 - 2:52
|
Aren't you excited?
|
2:54 - 2:56
|
It's been a difficult week for me.
|
2:56 - 2:59
|
My most trusted advisor, Long Feng, and his Dai Li agents
|
2:59 - 3:02
|
tried to take control of Ba Sing Se from me.
|
3:02 - 3:05
|
It's terrible when you can't trust the people who are closest to you.
|
3:06 - 3:07
|
But there is good news.
|
3:07 - 3:11
|
As we speak, the Council of Five is meeting to plan an invasion
|
3:11 - 3:15
|
of The Fire Nation this summer― On the day of a solar eclipse.
|
3:15 - 3:17
|
Really?
|
3:17 - 3:21
|
Now that sounds like a fascinating and brilliant plan.
|
3:26 - 3:27
|
General Fong's base
|
3:27 - 3:30
|
will serve as the launching point for the attack.
|
3:30 - 3:34
|
In exactly two months, the Army and Navy will invade
|
3:34 - 3:37
|
the Fire Nation on The Day of Black Sun.
|
3:37 - 3:40
|
Or we could send in Momo to do some damage.
|
3:40 - 3:43
|
'Cause the...
|
3:43 - 3:44
|
Sorry.
|
3:48 - 3:50
|
All we need is the Earth King's seal
|
3:50 - 3:52
|
in order to execute the plan.
|
3:54 - 3:56
|
I'll get these scrolls to him right away.
|
3:56 - 3:58
|
Thank you, General How.
|
4:15 - 4:17
|
Um, hello?
|
4:19 - 4:21
|
You're Guru Pathik, right?
|
4:21 - 4:23
|
The person who attached the note to Appa's horn?
|
4:23 - 4:25
|
Indeed.
|
4:25 - 4:27
|
I was a spiritual brother of your people,
|
4:27 - 4:30
|
and a personal friend of Monk Gyatso.
|
4:31 - 4:33
|
In your note, you said you could teach me
|
4:33 - 4:35
|
to gain control of the Avatar State.
|
4:35 - 4:36
|
How?
|
4:36 - 4:39
|
You must gain balance within yourself
|
4:39 - 4:42
|
before you can bring balance to the world.
|
4:42 - 4:45
|
And the first step to gaining balance begins with this.
|
4:45 - 4:47
|
Drink up.
|
4:48 - 4:50
|
( SIPPING, SPITTING )
|
4:50 - 4:51
|
Ugh!
|
4:51 - 4:53
|
It tastes like onion and banana juice!
|
4:54 - 4:56
|
That's because it is.
|
4:56 - 4:58
|
Yum! Yum!
|
5:02 - 5:04
|
I believe we need to go right!
|
5:04 - 5:05
|
What are you talking about?
|
5:05 - 5:07
|
The Bei Fong Estate's this way.
|
5:07 - 5:09
|
I'm quite certain you're mistaken.
|
5:11 - 5:13
|
Hey, can you two old ladies quit your bickering for a second?
|
5:14 - 5:15
|
I gotta go to the bathroom!
|
5:16 - 5:18
|
Oh... Uh...
|
5:18 - 5:20
|
Okay, but make it quick.
|
5:20 - 5:22
|
What's wrong with you?!
|
5:23 - 5:25
|
Oh, very sneaky, Toph!
|
5:26 - 5:29
|
Nice try, but you can't trick me.
|
5:29 - 5:32
|
Let me outta here, so I can kick both your butts!
|
5:32 - 5:34
|
Quit your banging!
|
5:34 - 5:37
|
You might think you're the greatest Earthbender
|
5:37 - 5:40
|
in the world, but even you can't bend metal.
|
5:50 - 5:53
|
We've been presented with an extraordinary opportunity, girls.
|
5:53 - 5:57
|
Mai finally gets to wear makeup that's not totally depressing?
|
5:57 - 5:58
|
Ha. Ha.
|
5:58 - 6:03
|
I'm talking about conquering the whole Earth Kingdom.
|
6:03 - 6:06
|
For a hundred years the Fire Nation has hammered away
|
6:06 - 6:08
|
at Ba Sing Se from the outside.
|
6:09 - 6:13
|
But now we are on the inside, and we can take it by ourselves.
|
6:13 - 6:17
|
Gosh, you're so confident. I really admire that about you.
|
6:18 - 6:20
|
From the inside, we're in the perfect position
|
6:20 - 6:23
|
to organize a coup and overthrow the Earth King.
|
6:23 - 6:25
|
The key is the Dai Li.
|
6:26 - 6:29
|
Whoever controls the Dai Li, controls Ba Sing Se.
|
6:34 - 6:37
|
In order to master the Avatar State,
|
6:37 - 6:40
|
you must open all the chakras.
|
6:40 - 6:43
|
Aang, tell me everything you know about chakras.
|
6:44 - 6:45
|
What are chakras?
|
6:46 - 6:48
|
Oh, I see.
|
6:48 - 6:50
|
I guess we'll start with the basics.
|
6:51 - 6:53
|
The water flows through this creek
|
6:53 - 6:56
|
much like the energy flows through your body.
|
6:57 - 6:58
|
As you see, there are several pools
|
6:59 - 7:01
|
where the water swirls around before flowing on.
|
7:02 - 7:05
|
These pools are like our chakras.
|
7:05 - 7:08
|
So, chakras are pools of spiraling energy in our bodies?
|
7:09 - 7:12
|
Exactly. If nothing else were around,
|
7:12 - 7:15
|
this creek would flow pure and clear.
|
7:15 - 7:17
|
However, life is messy,
|
7:17 - 7:19
|
and things tend to fall in the creek,
|
7:19 - 7:21
|
and then what happens?
|
7:21 - 7:24
|
The creek can't flow? Yes.
|
7:24 - 7:28
|
But if we open the paths between the pools...
|
7:28 - 7:29
|
The energy flows!
|
7:35 - 7:38
|
There are seven chakras that go up the body.
|
7:38 - 7:40
|
Each pool of energy has a purpose,
|
7:40 - 7:44
|
and can be blocked by a specific kind of emotional muck.
|
7:44 - 7:49
|
Be warned― Opening the chakras is an intense experience,
|
7:49 - 7:51
|
and once you begin this process,
|
7:51 - 7:54
|
you cannot stop until all seven are open.
|
7:55 - 7:56
|
Are you ready?
|
7:58 - 8:00
|
I'll do whatever it takes.
|
8:00 - 8:03
|
First we will open the Earth chakra,
|
8:03 - 8:05
|
located at the base of the spine.
|
8:05 - 8:09
|
It deals with survival and is blocked by fear.
|
8:09 - 8:11
|
What are you most afraid of?
|
8:13 - 8:15
|
Let your fears become clear to you.
|
8:29 - 8:32
|
Aang, your vision is not real.
|
8:32 - 8:35
|
You are concerned for your survival,
|
8:35 - 8:37
|
but you must surrender those fears.
|
8:37 - 8:41
|
Let your fears flow down the creek.
|
8:45 - 8:47
|
You have opened your Earth chakra.
|
8:48 - 8:49
|
Whew.
|
8:57 - 9:00
|
Next is the... Water chakra?
|
9:00 - 9:01
|
Brilliant!
|
9:01 - 9:04
|
Maybe one day you will be a Guru, too.
|
9:04 - 9:09
|
This chakra deals with pleasure, and is blocked by guilt.
|
9:09 - 9:14
|
Now, look at all the guilt which burdens you so.
|
9:15 - 9:17
|
What do you blame yourself for?
|
9:21 - 9:23
|
I ran away.
|
9:34 - 9:35
|
I hurt all of those people.
|
9:36 - 9:40
|
Accept the reality that these things happened,
|
9:40 - 9:44
|
but do not let them cloud and poison your energy.
|
9:44 - 9:48
|
If you are to be a positive influence on the world,
|
9:48 - 9:50
|
you need to forgive yourself.
|
9:56 - 9:59
|
This bay leads directly to the outskirts of Ba Sing Se.
|
10:00 - 10:02
|
We've been using these tangle mines
|
10:02 - 10:05
|
to stop the Fire Nation ships from getting through.
|
10:05 - 10:08
|
Your father invented tangle mines, himself.
|
10:09 - 10:12
|
Destructive, buoyant, and...
|
10:15 - 10:16
|
...terrible smelling!
|
10:16 - 10:17
|
Very perceptive.
|
10:18 - 10:21
|
The mines are filled with skunk-fish and seaweed.
|
10:21 - 10:23
|
When a ship detonates the mine,
|
10:23 - 10:25
|
the seaweed tangles up the propeller,
|
10:25 - 10:29
|
and the foul smell forces people to abandon the ship.
|
10:29 - 10:32
|
I call it the stink n' sink.
|
10:32 - 10:35
|
Good one, Dad!
|
10:35 - 10:37
|
You are definitely your father's son.
|
10:38 - 10:41
|
Hakoda, our scouts have spotted four Fire Nation ships.
|
10:42 - 10:44
|
Bato, get these mines loaded up.
|
10:44 - 10:46
|
The rest of you men, prepare for battle.
|
10:49 - 10:51
|
Um, what should I do, Dad?
|
10:51 - 10:52
|
Aren't you listening?
|
10:52 - 10:55
|
I said the rest of you men get ready for battle.
|
11:04 - 11:07
|
Who thought when we came to this city as refugees,
|
11:07 - 11:11
|
that I'd end up owning my own tea shop.
|
11:11 - 11:15
|
Follow your passion, Zuko, and life will reward you.
|
11:16 - 11:18
|
Congratulations, Uncle.
|
11:18 - 11:19
|
I'm very thankful.
|
11:20 - 11:21
|
You deserve it.
|
11:21 - 11:24
|
The Jasmine Dragon will be the best tea shop in the city.
|
11:25 - 11:27
|
No, I'm thankful because you decided
|
11:28 - 11:30
|
to share this special day with me.
|
11:30 - 11:33
|
It means more than you know.
|
11:35 - 11:37
|
Now let's make these people some tea.
|
11:39 - 11:42
|
Yes, let's make some tea!
|
11:46 - 11:50
|
Third is the Fire chakra, located in the stomach.
|
11:50 - 11:52
|
My Fire chakra would like to eat something
|
11:52 - 11:54
|
other than onion-banana juice.
|
11:55 - 11:57
|
Good one. Moving on.
|
11:58 - 12:03
|
This chakra deals with will power and is blocked by shame.
|
12:03 - 12:05
|
What are you ashamed of?
|
12:06 - 12:09
|
What are your biggest disappointments in yourself?
|
12:13 - 12:16
|
I'm never gonna firebend again.
|
12:16 - 12:17
|
I can't.
|
12:17 - 12:19
|
You will never find balance,
|
12:19 - 12:22
|
if you deny this part of your life.
|
12:22 - 12:24
|
You are the Avatar,
|
12:24 - 12:27
|
and therefore, you are a Firebender.
|
12:28 - 12:31
|
( INHALES, EXHALES )
|
12:33 - 12:36
|
Hmm, that chakra opened less like a flowing creek,
|
12:37 - 12:38
|
and more like a...
|
12:38 - 12:40
|
Burping bison.
|
12:42 - 12:47
|
Tastes like onions and bananas, but, strangely, something else.
|
12:47 - 12:48
|
Pickles?
|
12:55 - 12:58
|
I'm tired of wearing this girly disguise.
|
12:58 - 13:00
|
I don't know how anyone can fight in this.
|
13:00 - 13:02
|
Maybe that's why it was so easy
|
13:02 - 13:05
|
to beat the Kyoshi Warriors and take their clothes.
|
13:06 - 13:08
|
How much longer do we have to serve the Earth King?
|
13:09 - 13:11
|
If I have to clean up one more pile of bear poop,
|
13:11 - 13:12
|
I'm gonna throw up.
|
13:13 - 13:16
|
Princess Azula promised we would go back to the Fire Nation
|
13:16 - 13:18
|
as soon as we captured the Avatar.
|
13:18 - 13:20
|
We just have to be patient. Shush up!
|
13:21 - 13:23
|
Do you want the whole palace to know we're Fire Nation?
|
13:24 - 13:25
|
Sorry.
|
13:33 - 13:35
|
Good work, girls.
|
13:35 - 13:37
|
I am sure the Dai Li will deliver the message.
|
13:40 - 13:43
|
The fourth chakra is located in the heart.
|
13:43 - 13:47
|
It deals with love, and is blocked by grief.
|
13:48 - 13:51
|
Lay all your grief out in front of you.
|
14:16 - 14:20
|
You have, indeed, felt a great loss.
|
14:20 - 14:27
|
But love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us.
|
14:27 - 14:31
|
The Air Nomads' love for you has not left this world.
|
14:31 - 14:34
|
It is still inside of your heart,
|
14:34 - 14:38
|
and is reborn in the form of new love.
|
14:41 - 14:44
|
Let the pain flow away.
|
14:46 - 14:47
|
Very good.
|
14:49 - 14:51
|
Can I have some onion-banana juice, please?
|
14:53 - 14:56
|
The fifth in the chain is the Sound chakra,
|
14:56 - 14:58
|
located in the throat.
|
14:59 - 15:03
|
It deals with truth, and is blocked by lies―
|
15:03 - 15:05
|
The ones we tell ourselves.
|
15:06 - 15:08
|
Why didn't you tell us you were the Avatar?
|
15:09 - 15:10
|
Because I never wanted to be.
|
15:11 - 15:14
|
You cannot lie about your own nature.
|
15:14 - 15:18
|
You must accept that you are the Avatar.
|
15:18 - 15:20
|
( INHALING, EXHALING )
|
15:30 - 15:32
|
Very good, Aang.
|
15:32 - 15:35
|
You have opened the chakra of Truth.
|
15:37 - 15:40
|
The sixth pool of energy is the Light chakra,
|
15:40 - 15:43
|
located in the center of the forehead.
|
15:44 - 15:48
|
It deals with insight and is blocked by illusion.
|
15:48 - 15:51
|
The greatest illusion of this world
|
15:51 - 15:54
|
is the illusion of separation.
|
15:54 - 15:56
|
Things you think are separate and different
|
15:56 - 15:59
|
are actually one and the same.
|
15:59 - 16:01
|
Like the four nations.
|
16:01 - 16:07
|
Yes, we are all one people, but we live as if divided.
|
16:08 - 16:09
|
We're all connected.
|
16:09 - 16:11
|
Everything is connected.
|
16:11 - 16:13
|
That's right.
|
16:13 - 16:17
|
Even the separation of the four elements is an illusion.
|
16:17 - 16:19
|
If you open your mind,
|
16:19 - 16:22
|
you will see that all the elements are one―
|
16:22 - 16:24
|
Four parts of the same whole.
|
16:24 - 16:27
|
Even metal is just a part of Earth
|
16:28 - 16:30
|
that has been purified and refined.
|
16:33 - 16:35
|
( INHALES, EXHALES )
|
16:38 - 16:42
|
Come on metal... Budge.
|
16:44 - 16:46
|
Woo! Toph, you rule!
|
16:51 - 16:52
|
What do you say, Momo?
|
16:52 - 16:54
|
A cup of tea before we get back to the king?
|
16:58 - 16:59
|
Table for two, please.
|
17:00 - 17:04
|
Uncle, I need two jasmine, one green and one lychee.
|
17:04 - 17:06
|
I'm brewing as fast as I can.
|
17:18 - 17:19
|
This is the last chakra, isn't it?
|
17:20 - 17:21
|
Yes.
|
17:21 - 17:23
|
Once you open this chakra,
|
17:23 - 17:27
|
you will be able go in and out of the Avatar State at will.
|
17:27 - 17:29
|
And when you are in the Avatar State,
|
17:29 - 17:31
|
you will have complete control
|
17:31 - 17:34
|
and awareness of all your actions.
|
17:34 - 17:36
|
Let's do this.
|
17:36 - 17:40
|
The Thought chakra is located at the crown of the head.
|
17:40 - 17:43
|
It deals with pure cosmic energy
|
17:43 - 17:46
|
and is blocked by earthly attachment.
|
17:46 - 17:50
|
Meditate on what attaches you to this world.
|
17:56 - 18:01
|
Now, let all of those attachments go.
|
18:01 - 18:03
|
Let them flow down the river...
|
|
Forgotten. |
18:05 - 18:07
|
What? Why would I let go of Katara?
|
18:08 - 18:10
|
I... I love her.
|
18:10 - 18:12
|
Learn to let her go,
|
18:12 - 18:15
|
or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy
|
18:15 - 18:17
|
flow in from the universe.
|
18:17 - 18:20
|
Why would I choose cosmic energy over Katara?
|
18:20 - 18:23
|
How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her?
|
18:23 - 18:25
|
Three chakras ago, that was a good thing.
|
18:25 - 18:28
|
You must learn to let go.
|
18:32 - 18:34
|
Thank goodness you're here, Suki.
|
18:34 - 18:35
|
Something terrible is going on.
|
18:36 - 18:37
|
The Fire Nation has infiltrated the city.
|
18:38 - 18:40
|
I just saw Prince Zuko and his uncle!
|
18:40 - 18:42
|
We have to tell the Earth King right away!
|
18:42 - 18:46
|
Oh, don't worry. I'll be sure to let him know.
|
18:54 - 18:57
|
So, Zu Zu's in the city, too.
|
18:57 - 19:00
|
I think it's time for a family reunion.
|
19:02 - 19:05
|
I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara.
|
19:05 - 19:08
|
Aang, to master the Avatar State,
|
19:08 - 19:11
|
you must open all the chakras.
|
19:12 - 19:13
|
Surrender yourself.
|
19:13 - 19:15
|
Okay, I'll try.
|
19:20 - 19:25
|
Now, think of your attachments and let them go.
|
19:25 - 19:29
|
Let the pure cosmic energy flow.
|
19:57 - 19:59
|
Let me go!
|
20:15 - 20:18
|
Katara is in danger! I have to go!
|
20:18 - 20:19
|
No, Aang!
|
20:20 - 20:23
|
By choosing attachment, you have locked the chakra!
|
20:23 - 20:27
|
If you leave now, you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all!
|
20:40 - 20:42
|
It's another one of her tricks.
|
20:42 - 20:44
|
There's a giant hole in the box.
|
20:44 - 20:45
|
How is that a trick?
|
20:45 - 20:48
|
It's not! It's the real deal!
|
20:58 - 21:00
|
I am the greatest Earthbender in the world!
|
21:00 - 21:03
|
Don't you two dunderheads ever forget!
|
21:13 - 21:17
|
I'm going to be stuck in here forever with you, aren't I?
|
21:18 - 21:20
|
I have to go to the bathroom.
|
21:23 - 21:25
|
Ready to go knock some Fire Nation heads?
|
21:25 - 21:28
|
You don't know how much this means to me, Dad.
|
21:28 - 21:29
|
I'll make you proud,
|
21:29 - 21:32
|
and I'll finally prove to you what a great warrior I am.
|
21:32 - 21:35
|
Sokka, you don't have to prove anything to me.
|
21:35 - 21:37
|
I'm already proud of you,
|
21:37 - 21:39
|
and I've always known you were a great warrior.
|
21:39 - 21:41
|
Really?
|
21:41 - 21:44
|
Why do you think I trusted you to look after our tribe when I left?
|
21:56 - 21:57
|
This can't be good news.
|
22:08 - 22:10
|
What is this about?
|
22:10 - 22:13
|
Your agents show up in the middle of the night and drag me down here?
|
22:13 - 22:15
|
You will not treat a Kyoshi Warrior this way!
|
22:16 - 22:19
|
But you are not a Kyoshi Warrior, are you,
|
22:19 - 22:22
|
Princess Azula of the Fire Nation?
|
22:22 - 22:24
|
What do you want? I want to make a deal.
|
22:24 - 22:28
|
It's time that I regain control of Ba Sing Se,
|
22:28 - 22:30
|
and you have something I need.
|
22:31 - 22:34
|
Oh? The Earth King's trust.
|
22:34 - 22:36
|
Why should I help you?
|
22:36 - 22:39
|
Because I can get you the Avatar.
|
22:39 - 22:41
|
I'm listening.
|
22:47 - 22:48
|
A message from the royal palace.
|
22:51 - 22:54
|
I... I can't believe it.
|
22:54 - 22:58
|
What is it, Uncle? Great news!
|
22:58 - 23:03
|
We've been invited to serve tea to the Earth King!
