0:01 - 0:05	Water, earth,
0:05 - 0:09	fire, air...
0:10 - 0:14	Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
0:14 - 0:17	Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
0:18 - 0:22	Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them.
0:22 - 0:24	But when the world needed him most,
0:24 - 0:25	he vanished.
0:26 - 0:30	A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar,
0:30 - 0:31	an airbender named Aang.
0:31 - 0:34	And although his airbending skills are great,
0:34 - 0:37	he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
0:37 - 0:41	But I believe Aang can save the world.
1:13 - 1:15	Nice try, Pupil Sangok.
1:15 - 1:17	A couple of more years,
1:17 - 1:19	and you might be ready to fight a sea sponge.
1:21 - 1:22	Whoa!
1:23 - 1:26	Would anyone care for a rematch with Katara?
1:28 - 1:30	Katara, you've advanced more quickly
1:31 - 1:33	than any student I've ever trained.
1:33 - 1:35	You have proven that with fierce determination,
1:36 - 1:37	passion, and hard work,
1:37 - 1:39	you can accomplish anything.
1:40 - 1:43	Raw talent alone is not enough.
1:43 - 1:44	Pupil Aang!
1:44 - 1:45	Yes, Master Pakku?
1:45 - 1:48	Care to step into the sparring circle?
1:48 - 1:51	I figure since you've found time to play with house pets,
1:51 - 1:54	you must have already mastered waterbending.
1:54 - 1:55	I wouldn't say mastered,
1:55 - 1:57	but check this out!
2:07 - 2:09	So, they don't have palaces in the Southern Tribe?
2:10 - 2:11	Are you kidding?
2:11 - 2:12	I grew up in a block of ice.
2:12 - 2:14	It's not exactly a cultural hub.
2:17 - 2:19	Sokka, this is wrong.
2:19 - 2:21	What's wrong?
2:21 - 2:22	We're taking a walk!
2:22 - 2:23	I'm engaged.
2:23 - 2:25	It just feels...
2:26 - 2:28	I know what you need.
2:28 - 2:29	You need to meet my good friend Appa.
2:29 - 2:31	Who?
2:32 - 2:34	Appa and I go way back, don't we, boy?
2:34 - 2:36	Aagh! Easy!
2:36 - 2:37	Down, boy!
2:37 - 2:39	No, up!
2:39 - 2:42	Looks like you haven't been giving Appa enough attention.
2:44 - 2:46	So, how does this work?
2:46 - 2:47	You hanging on tight?
2:47 - 2:49	Mm-hmm.
2:49 - 2:50	Yip, yip.
2:51 - 2:54	Oh, my goodness!
2:55 - 2:56	Wow!
2:56 - 2:59	I can't believe you do this every day.
2:59 - 3:02	Yeah, we pretty much live up here.
3:02 - 3:05	Is it always this cold in the sky?
3:06 - 3:07	Not when you're with someone.
3:09 - 3:10	It's beautiful up here.
3:10 - 3:11	Yeah.
3:16 - 3:17	Whoo, yeah!
3:19 - 3:21	Good times, good times.
3:22 - 3:23	Hey, look.
3:24 - 3:25	What's happening?
3:27 - 3:28	Oh, no.
3:52 - 3:53	Soot. What?
3:53 - 3:55	I've seen it before.
3:55 - 3:57	Right before my village was attacked.
3:57 - 3:59	It's soot mixed with snow.
3:59 - 4:00	But why?
4:00 - 4:02	It's the Fire Nation.
4:02 - 4:04	They've closed in on the North Pole.
4:04 - 4:05	And from the looks of this stuff,
4:06 - 4:08	I'd say there's a lot of them.
4:11 - 4:15	This will truly be one for the history books, General Iroh.
4:15 - 4:18	Just think. Centuries from now,
4:18 - 4:20	people will study the Great Admiral Zhao,
4:20 - 4:21	who destroyed the last
4:21 - 4:23	of the Water Tribe civilization.
4:24 - 4:26	You're lucky you're here to see it.
4:26 - 4:29	Be careful what you wish for, Admiral.
4:29 - 4:32	History is not always kind to its subjects.
4:32 - 4:35	I suppose you speak from experience.
4:35 - 4:38	But, rest assured, this will be nothing like
4:38 - 4:41	your legendary failure at Ba Sing Se.
4:41 - 4:44	I hope not, for your sake.
4:44 - 4:47	Tell the captains to prepare for first strike.
4:55 - 4:57	We'll be landing soon.
4:57 - 4:58	Do you have a plan?
4:58 - 5:00	I'm working on it, Uncle.
5:10 - 5:12	What's wrong? We have to go!
5:12 - 5:13	No, Sokka.
5:13 - 5:14	Wait.
5:14 - 5:16	I can't see you anymore.
5:16 - 5:17	Not at all.
5:17 - 5:19	What? We're just friends.
5:19 - 5:21	I wish we could just be friends.
5:21 - 5:23	But I like you too much,
5:23 - 5:25	and it's too confusing to be around you.
5:25 - 5:27	I'm marrying someone else.
5:27 - 5:30	You don't love him, do you?
5:30 - 5:32	You don't even seem to like him.
5:32 - 5:34	But I do love my people.
5:34 - 5:36	You're not marrying them!
5:36 - 5:38	You don't understand.
5:38 - 5:39	I have duties to my father,
5:40 - 5:41	to my tribe.
5:41 - 5:42	I have to do this.
5:42 - 5:44	Good-bye.
5:47 - 5:50	The day we have feared for so long has arrived.
5:50 - 5:53	The Fire Nation is on our doorstep.
5:53 - 5:56	It is with great sadness
5:56 - 5:58	I call my family here before me,
5:59 - 6:02	knowing well that some of these faces
6:02 - 6:05	are about to vanish from our tribe.
6:06 - 6:09	But they will never vanish from our hearts.
6:10 - 6:13	Now, as we approach the battle for our existence,
6:13 - 6:17	I call upon the great spirits.
6:18 - 6:20	Spirit of the ocean,
6:20 - 6:23	spirit of the moon, be with us!
6:24 - 6:28	I'm going to need volunteers for a dangerous mission.
6:28 - 6:30	Count me in. Sokka...
6:30 - 6:31	Be warned.
6:32 - 6:34	Many of you will not return.
6:34 - 6:36	Come forward to receive my mark
6:36 - 6:39	if you accept the task.
7:06 - 7:09	The stillness before battle is unbearable.
7:09 - 7:11	Such a quiet dread.
7:11 - 7:14	I wasn't there when the Fire Nation attacked my people.
7:15 - 7:17	I'm gonna make a difference this time.
8:03 - 8:04	Yip, yip!
8:09 - 8:10	Katara!
8:33 - 8:35	I'll take it from here, boy.
9:45 - 9:46	Appa!
9:49 - 9:51	Thanks for the rescue, buddy.
10:12 - 10:14	You've gotta be kidding me.
10:17 - 10:20	Men, you'll be infiltrating the Fire Nation navy.
10:21 - 10:25	That means you'll all need one of these uniforms.
10:30 - 10:32	What's your problem?
10:32 - 10:34	Fire navy uniforms don't look like that.
10:34 - 10:36	Of course they do.
10:36 - 10:40	These are real uniforms captured from actual fire navy soldiers.
10:40 - 10:42	When, like, 100 years ago?
10:43 - 10:44	85.
10:44 - 10:46	The Fire Nation doesn't wear shoulder spikes anymore.
10:46 - 10:50	The newer uniforms are more streamlined.
10:50 - 10:51	How do we know we can trust this guy?
10:52 - 10:54	Such bold talk for a new recruit.
10:54 - 10:56	Sokka is from our sister tribe, Hahn.
10:56 - 11:01	He is a capable warrior, and I value his input.
11:01 - 11:04	Now, our first objective is to determine
11:04 - 11:07	the identity of their commanding officer.
11:07 - 11:08	His name is Zhao.
11:09 - 11:12	Middle-aged, big sideburns, bigger temper...
11:12 - 11:16	Sokka, I want you to tell everything you know to Hahn.
11:16 - 11:18	He's leading this mission.
11:18 - 11:20	Hahn, show Sokka your respect.
11:20 - 11:24	I expect nothing less from my future son-in-law.
11:27 - 11:28	Princess Yue's marrying you?
11:28 - 11:30	Yeah. What of it?
11:30 - 11:32	Nothing. Congratulations.
11:39 - 11:41	Stop those fireballs!
11:50 - 11:52	It's almost twilight, Admiral.
11:52 - 11:53	As your military consultant,
11:53 - 11:56	I must advise you to halt your attack.
11:56 - 11:59	The waterbenders draw their power from the moon,
11:59 - 12:01	and it is nearly full tonight.
12:02 - 12:05	You should wait and resume the attack at daybreak.
12:05 - 12:07	Oh, I am well aware of the moon problem.
12:07 - 12:10	And I'm working on a solution.
12:10 - 12:12	But for now, daybreak it is.
12:19 - 12:21	They've stopped firing.
12:21 - 12:22	Aang!
12:28 - 12:30	I can't do it.
12:30 - 12:31	I can't do it.
12:31 - 12:33	What happened?
12:33 - 12:35	I must have taken out a dozen fire navy ships,
12:35 - 12:38	but there's just too many of them.
12:38 - 12:40	I can't fight them all!
12:40 - 12:42	But you have to.
12:42 - 12:43	You're the Avatar.
12:43 - 12:45	I'm just one kid.
12:55 - 12:57	If you are fishing for an octopus, my nephew,
12:57 - 13:00	you need a tightly woven net,
13:00 - 13:04	or he will squeeze through the tiniest hole and escape.
13:04 - 13:06	I don't need your wisdom right now, Uncle.
13:06 - 13:09	I'm sorry, I just nag you because...
13:09 - 13:13	Well, ever since I lost my son...
13:13 - 13:15	Uncle, you don't have to say it.
13:16 - 13:18	I think of you as my own.
13:20 - 13:22	I know, Uncle.
13:22 - 13:23	We'll meet again.
13:25 - 13:26	After I have the Avatar.
13:29 - 13:32	Remember your breath of fire.
13:32 - 13:33	It could save your life out there.
13:33 - 13:34	I will.
13:34 - 13:36	And put your hood up.
13:36 - 13:38	Keep your ears warm.
13:38 - 13:39	I'll be fine!
13:48 - 13:49	Let me tell you, Sokka,
13:50 - 13:53	I've courted a lot of girls, but Yue is the finest.
13:53 - 13:55	And she comes with the most perks.
13:55 - 13:57	Perks?! What does that mean?
13:57 - 13:59	I mean, Yue's nice and everything,
14:00 - 14:02	but the points I'll gain with the chief aren't bad either.
14:02 - 14:05	Princess Yue is wasted on a self-absorbed weasel like you!
14:06 - 14:07	Whoa, hang on!
14:07 - 14:08	What do you care?
14:08 - 14:11	You're just a simple rube from the Southern Tribe.
14:11 - 14:14	What would you know of the political complexities of our life?
14:14 - 14:15	No offense.
14:19 - 14:22	You're just a jerk without a soul! No offense!
14:24 - 14:26	That's enough!
14:26 - 14:28	Sokka, you're off the mission.
14:29 - 14:31	All right, fall in, men!
14:31 - 14:33	Everybody listen to what I say,
14:33 - 14:36	and we'll take out this Admiral Cho in no time!
14:36 - 14:38	It's Admiral Zhao!
15:14 - 15:15	Where are they going?
15:17 - 15:19	They're coming up for air somewhere.
15:29 - 15:32	The legends say the moon was the first waterbender.
15:32 - 15:34	Our ancestors saw how it pushed and pulled the tides,
15:34 - 15:36	and learned how to do it themselves.
15:36 - 15:40	I've always noticed my waterbending is stronger at night.
15:40 - 15:43	Our strength comes from the spirit of the moon,
15:43 - 15:45	our life comes from the spirit of the ocean.
15:45 - 15:48	They work together to keep balance.
15:48 - 15:49	The spirits.
15:49 - 15:52	Maybe I can find them and get their help.
15:52 - 15:54	How can you do that?
15:54 - 15:55	The avatar is the bridge
15:55 - 15:57	between our world and the spirit world.
15:57 - 15:59	Aang can talk to them!
15:59 - 16:02	Maybe they'll give you the wisdom to win this battle.
16:02 - 16:03	Or maybe they'll unleash
16:04 - 16:06	a crazy-amazing spirit attack on the Fire Nation!
16:08 - 16:10	Or wisdom. That's good, too.
16:10 - 16:11	The only problem is,
16:12 - 16:14	the last time you got to the spirit world by accident.
16:14 - 16:16	How are you going to get there this time?
16:16 - 16:18	I have an idea. Follow me.
16:25 - 16:27	So, is this the way to the spirit world?
16:27 - 16:28	Ha ha ha. No.
16:28 - 16:31	You'll have to get there on your own. But I can take you
16:31 - 16:34	to the most spiritual place in the entire North Pole.
16:51 - 16:54	I never thought I'd miss grass this much!
16:54 - 16:57	It's so warm here! How is that possible?
16:57 - 17:00	It's the center of all spiritual energy in our land.
17:10 - 17:11	You're right, Yue.
17:11 - 17:13	I can feel...
17:13 - 17:14	Something.
17:14 - 17:15	It's so...
17:15 - 17:17	Tranquil.
17:35 - 17:36	Be quiet!
17:56 - 17:58	Is something wrong, Sokka?
17:58 - 17:59	Oh, no.
17:59 - 18:01	Hahn's out there on the top-secret mission,
18:01 - 18:03	while I'm here sharpening my boomerang.
18:03 - 18:04	Everything's fine.
18:04 - 18:06	Listen to me.
18:06 - 18:09	I took you off the mission for selfish reasons.
18:09 - 18:12	I have a special task in mind for you.
18:12 - 18:13	What, you want me to scrub the barracks?
18:14 - 18:17	I want you to guard my daughter, Princess Yue.
18:18 - 18:20	Oh. Sure.
18:20 - 18:22	That shouldn't be too hard.
19:15 - 19:17	Why is he sitting like that?
19:17 - 19:18	He's meditating.
19:18 - 19:20	Trying to cross over into the spirit world.
19:21 - 19:23	It takes all his concentration.
19:23 - 19:25	Is there any way we can help?
19:25 - 19:26	How about some quiet?!
19:27 - 19:30	Come on, guys, I can hear every word you're saying.
19:50 - 19:51	Is he ok?
19:51 - 19:53	He's crossing into the spirit world.
19:53 - 19:56	He'll be fine as long as we don't move his body.
19:56 - 19:58	That's his way back to the physical world.
19:58 - 19:59	Maybe we should get some help?
20:00 - 20:01	No. He's my friend.
20:01 - 20:03	I'm perfectly capable of protecting him.
20:04 - 20:07	Well, aren't you a big girl now?
20:07 - 20:08	No...
20:08 - 20:09	Yes.
20:09 - 20:12	Hand him over and I won't have to hurt you.
20:14 - 20:15	Hyah!
20:23 - 20:25	I see you've learned a new trick.
20:25 - 20:27	But I didn't come this far to lose to you.
20:47 - 20:49	You little peasant.
20:49 - 20:52	You've found a master, haven't you?
20:55 - 20:57	Hyah!
21:02 - 21:03	Hyah! Hyah...
21:08 - 21:10	Aah! Uh!
21:11 - 21:12	Hyah! Hyah...
21:26 - 21:28	It's daybreak at last.
21:28 - 21:30	Let's write history.
21:52 - 21:56	You rise with the moon, I rise with the sun.
22:07 - 22:11	The Water Tribe can try to resist the inevitable,
22:12 - 22:14	but their city will fall today.
22:22 - 22:24	Aang?!
22:25 - 22:27	What happened?! Where's Zuko?!
22:27 - 22:29	He took Aang.
22:29 - 22:31	He took him right out from under me.
22:32 - 22:33	Where did they go?
