0:02 - 0:04
|
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 - 0:19
|
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 - 0:26
|
But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
|
0:27 - 0:30
|
100 years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar,
|
0:30 - 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 - 0:41
|
But I believe Aang can save the world.
|
1:10 - 1:14
|
Spare coins for weary travelers?
|
1:15 - 1:17
|
This is humiliating. We're royalty.
|
1:18 - 1:20
|
These people should be giving us whatever we want.
|
1:20 - 1:23
|
They will, if you ask nicely.
|
1:25 - 1:29
|
Spare change for a hungry old man?
|
1:30 - 1:31
|
Aw, here you go.
|
1:32 - 1:38
|
The coin is appreciated, but not as much as your smile.
|
1:41 - 1:44
|
How about some entertainment in exchange for...
|
1:45 - 1:46
|
A gold piece?
|
1:46 - 1:48
|
We're not performers.
|
1:49 - 1:51
|
Not professional, anyway.
|
1:51 - 1:56
|
It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se
|
1:56 - 2:02
|
But the girls in the city They look so pretty
|
2:02 - 2:05
|
Come on, we're talking a gold piece here.
|
2:05 - 2:06
|
Let's see some action.
|
2:08 - 2:09
|
Dance.
|
2:09 - 2:14
|
They kiss so sweet That you really have to meet
|
2:14 - 2:18
|
The girls from Ba Sing Se
|
2:22 - 2:25
|
Nothing like a fat man dancing for his dinner.
|
2:25 - 2:26
|
Here you go.
|
2:29 - 2:32
|
Such a kind man.
|
2:55 - 2:58
|
Hey, you taking us down for a reason?
|
2:59 - 3:01
|
Aang, why are we going down?
|
3:01 - 3:02
|
What?
|
3:02 - 3:04
|
I didn't even notice.
|
3:04 - 3:06
|
Are you noticing now?
|
3:07 - 3:08
|
Is something wrong?
|
3:08 - 3:10
|
I know this is gonna sound weird,
|
3:10 - 3:13
|
but I think the swamp is... calling to me.
|
3:13 - 3:15
|
Is it telling you where we can get something to eat?
|
3:15 - 3:19
|
No, I, I think it wants us to land there.
|
3:19 - 3:20
|
No offense to the swamp,
|
3:20 - 3:23
|
but I don't see any land there to land on.
|
3:23 - 3:24
|
I don't know.
|
3:24 - 3:27
|
Bumi said to learn earthbending, I would have to wait and listen.
|
3:27 - 3:30
|
And now, I'm actually hearing the earth.
|
3:30 - 3:31
|
Do you want me to ignore it?
|
3:33 - 3:34
|
Yes. I don't know.
|
3:35 - 3:37
|
There's something ominous about that place.
|
3:41 - 3:43
|
See? Even Appa and Momo don't like it here.
|
3:44 - 3:48
|
Okay, since everyone feels so strongly about this, bye, swamp.
|
3:48 - 3:50
|
Yip yip!
|
3:55 - 3:58
|
You better throw in an extra yip. We gotta move.
|
4:08 - 4:09
|
Ahh!
|
4:39 - 4:41
|
Where's Appa and Momo?
|
4:47 - 4:48
|
Appa!
|
4:49 - 4:50
|
Momo!
|
4:54 - 4:56
|
Sokka, you've got an elbow leech.
|
4:56 - 4:57
|
Where, where?
|
4:57 - 4:59
|
Where do you think?
|
4:59 - 5:02
|
Why do things keep attaching to me?
|
5:04 - 5:06
|
You couldn't find them?
|
5:06 - 5:07
|
No...
|
5:07 - 5:10
|
And the tornado, it just disappeared.
|
5:47 - 5:49
|
We better speed things up.
|
5:51 - 5:53
|
Maybe we should be a little nicer to the swamp.
|
5:54 - 5:55
|
Aang, these are just plants.
|
5:55 - 5:57
|
Do you want me to say please and thank you
|
5:57 - 5:59
|
as I swing my machete back and forth?
|
5:59 - 6:01
|
Maybe you should listen to Aang.
|
6:01 - 6:05
|
Something about this place feels... alive.
|
6:05 - 6:08
|
I'm sure there are lots of things that are alive here.
|
6:08 - 6:11
|
And if we don't want to wind up getting eaten by them,
|
6:11 - 6:13
|
we need to find Appa as fast as we can.
|
6:47 - 6:48
|
Appa!
|
6:48 - 6:50
|
Momo?
|
6:50 - 6:53
|
There's no way they can hear us and no way we can see them.
|
6:53 - 6:55
|
We'll have to make camp for the night.
|
6:56 - 6:58
|
Ah, ugh!
|
6:59 - 7:00
|
What was that?
|
7:01 - 7:03
|
Nothing, just swamp gas.
|
7:03 - 7:05
|
Look, there's nothing supernatural going on here.
|
7:06 - 7:07
|
Ugh...
|
7:07 - 7:08
|
( HUMAN-LIKE SCREAMS )
|
7:11 - 7:13
|
I think we should build a fire.
|
7:16 - 7:18
|
Sokka, the longer we're here,
|
7:18 - 7:20
|
the more I think you shouldn't be doing that.
|
7:20 - 7:21
|
No, I asked the swamp.
|
7:21 - 7:24
|
It said this was fine. Right, swamp?
|
7:24 - 7:26
|
No problem, Sokka.
|
7:32 - 7:35
|
Does anyone else get the feeling that we're being watched?
|
7:35 - 7:38
|
Please, we're all alone out here.
|
7:44 - 7:47
|
Except for them.
|
7:47 - 7:49
|
Right, except for them.
|
8:37 - 8:38
|
Hagh!
|
8:38 - 8:39
|
Ahh!
|
8:39 - 8:41
|
Ahh!
|
9:07 - 9:08
|
Ugh.
|
9:12 - 9:13
|
Ahh!
|
9:13 - 9:14
|
Ugh...
|
9:20 - 9:22
|
Guys?
|
9:27 - 9:30
|
What'd you reckon make a track like that, Tho?
|
9:30 - 9:31
|
Don't know, Due.
|
9:31 - 9:35
|
Something with six legs, pretty big 'uns, too.
|
9:36 - 9:38
|
Leaves a nice, wide trail to follow.
|
9:38 - 9:41
|
You know what's at the end of that trail?
|
9:42 - 9:44
|
Dinner.
|
10:16 - 10:18
|
Aang?
|
10:18 - 10:20
|
Sokka?
|
10:23 - 10:24
|
Hello?
|
10:24 - 10:25
|
Hello.
|
10:25 - 10:27
|
Can you help me?
|
10:29 - 10:30
|
Mom?
|
10:30 - 10:32
|
Mom!
|
10:35 - 10:37
|
I can't believe...
|
10:47 - 10:49
|
Aang!
|
10:49 - 10:53
|
Stupid swamp. Dumb, ugly vines.
|
10:53 - 10:55
|
Katara!
|
10:55 - 10:57
|
You think you're so tough, huh?
|
10:59 - 11:00
|
Ah!
|
11:04 - 11:07
|
Hello?
|
11:10 - 11:12
|
Yue?
|
11:12 - 11:14
|
This is just a trick of the light...
|
11:14 - 11:16
|
Swamp gas.
|
11:16 - 11:18
|
I hit my head running away last night.
|
11:18 - 11:20
|
I'm going crazy.
|
11:22 - 11:25
|
You didn't protect me. You didn't protect me.
|
11:29 - 11:30
|
Ah!
|
11:38 - 11:41
|
Katara!
|
11:41 - 11:43
|
Appa!
|
11:44 - 11:45
|
Hello?
|
11:45 - 11:47
|
Who are you?
|
11:48 - 11:50
|
Hey!
|
11:50 - 11:51
|
Come back.
|
12:25 - 12:27
|
Lookee there, Tho.
|
12:27 - 12:30
|
Is that a little hairy fella riding that thing?
|
12:30 - 12:32
|
No, that's what they call a "Iemu."
|
12:32 - 12:36
|
Saw one at a traveling show once. Real smart, they say.
|
12:36 - 12:38
|
Bet he tastes a lot like possum-chicken.
|
12:38 - 12:41
|
You think everything tastes like possum-chicken.
|
12:41 - 12:44
|
Come on, now, fellas, just a little closer.
|
12:44 - 12:46
|
Nice and easy.
|
12:46 - 12:47
|
Nothin' to worry about.
|
12:48 - 12:49
|
We just fixin' to eat ya.
|
12:51 - 12:52
|
What'd ya say that fer?
|
12:52 - 12:54
|
Well, we are.
|
12:54 - 12:55
|
But you don't have to tell them that.
|
12:56 - 12:57
|
How'd I know they'd understand me?
|
12:57 - 12:59
|
Come on.
|
13:26 - 13:28
|
Who are you?
|
13:33 - 13:34
|
Ahh!
|
13:35 - 13:36
|
Ugh.
|
13:38 - 13:40
|
What do you guys think you're doing?
|
13:40 - 13:42
|
I've been looking all over for you.
|
13:42 - 13:45
|
Well, I've been wandering around looking for you.
|
13:45 - 13:47
|
I was chasing some girl.
|
13:47 - 13:49
|
What girl? I don't know.
|
13:50 - 13:52
|
I heard laughing, and I saw some girl in a fancy dress.
|
13:52 - 13:54
|
Well, there must be a tea party here,
|
13:54 - 13:57
|
and we just didn't get our invitations.
|
13:57 - 13:59
|
I thought I saw Mom.
|
14:02 - 14:04
|
Look, we were all just scared and hungry,
|
14:04 - 14:06
|
and our minds were playing tricks on us.
|
14:06 - 14:08
|
That's why we all saw things out here.
|
14:08 - 14:09
|
You saw something, too?
|
14:09 - 14:11
|
I thought I saw Yue.
|
14:11 - 14:12
|
But that doesn't prove anything.
|
14:13 - 14:15
|
Look, I think about her all the time.
|
14:15 - 14:17
|
And you saw Mom, someone you miss a lot.
|
14:17 - 14:19
|
What about me?
|
14:19 - 14:21
|
I didn't know the girl I saw.
|
14:21 - 14:23
|
And all our visions led us right here.
|
14:24 - 14:27
|
Okay, so where's here, the middle of the swamp?
|
14:27 - 14:28
|
Yeah...
|
14:29 - 14:31
|
The center.
|
14:32 - 14:34
|
It's the heart of the swamp.
|
14:34 - 14:35
|
It's been calling us here.
|
14:36 - 14:37
|
I knew it.
|
14:37 - 14:40
|
It's just a tree. It can't call anyone.
|
14:41 - 14:43
|
For the last time, there's nothing after us,
|
14:43 - 14:46
|
and there's nothing magical happening here.
|
15:12 - 15:14
|
Ahh!
|
15:38 - 15:40
|
Ah!
|
15:41 - 15:42
|
Ugh!
|
15:51 - 15:53
|
Ahh! Unh!
|
16:12 - 16:14
|
Ah!
|
16:18 - 16:21
|
Now, what would a "Iemu" need a shirt fer?
|
16:22 - 16:23
|
Ahh!
|
16:23 - 16:25
|
Ugh!
|
17:03 - 17:05
|
Ugh!
|
17:12 - 17:13
|
Ah!
|
17:15 - 17:17
|
Ugh.
|
17:19 - 17:20
|
Ugh!
|
17:35 - 17:38
|
There's someone in there! He's bending the vines.
|
17:46 - 17:47
|
Ah!
|
17:52 - 17:55
|
Why did you call me here if you just wanted to kill us?
|
17:55 - 17:57
|
Wait!
|
17:57 - 17:59
|
I didn't call you here.
|
18:01 - 18:03
|
We were flying over, and I heard something calling to me,
|
18:04 - 18:05
|
telling me to land.
|
18:05 - 18:06
|
He's the Avatar.
|
18:06 - 18:08
|
Stuff like that happens to us a lot.
|
18:08 - 18:10
|
The Avatar?
|
18:10 - 18:11
|
Come with me.
|
18:14 - 18:16
|
So who are you, then?
|
18:16 - 18:19
|
I protect the swamp from folks that want to hurt it,
|
18:20 - 18:22
|
like this fellow with his big knife.
|
18:22 - 18:23
|
See?
|
18:23 - 18:25
|
Completely reasonable. Not a monster,
|
18:25 - 18:27
|
just a regular guy defending his home.
|
18:27 - 18:29
|
Nothing mystical about it.
|
18:30 - 18:33
|
Oh, the swamp is a mystical place, all right.
|
18:33 - 18:34
|
It's sacred.
|
18:35 - 18:39
|
I reached enlightenment right here, under the banyan grove tree.
|
18:39 - 18:42
|
I heard it calling me, just like you did.
|
18:43 - 18:46
|
Sure you did. It seems real chatty.
|
18:47 - 18:51
|
See, this whole swamp is actually just one tree
|
18:51 - 18:53
|
spread out over miles.
|
18:53 - 18:56
|
Branches spread and sink and take root
|
18:56 - 18:58
|
and then spread some more...
|
18:58 - 19:01
|
One big, living organism,
|
19:01 - 19:04
|
just like the entire world.
|
19:06 - 19:10
|
I get how the tree is one big thing, but the whole world?
|
19:10 - 19:11
|
Sure.
|
19:11 - 19:13
|
You think you're any different
|
19:13 - 19:16
|
from me or your friends or this tree?
|
19:16 - 19:18
|
If you listen hard enough,
|
19:18 - 19:21
|
you can hear every living thing breathing together.
|
19:21 - 19:24
|
You can feel everything growing.
|
19:25 - 19:29
|
We are all living together, even if most folks don't act like it.
|
19:29 - 19:32
|
We all have the same roots,
|
19:32 - 19:35
|
and we are all branches of the same tree.
|
19:35 - 19:37
|
But what did our visions mean?
|
19:37 - 19:41
|
In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost,
|
19:41 - 19:45
|
people we loved, folks we think are gone.
|
19:45 - 19:50
|
But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to 'em.
|
19:50 - 19:54
|
Time is an illusion, and so is death.
|
19:54 - 19:56
|
But what about my vision?
|
19:56 - 19:57
|
It was someone I had never met.
|
19:58 - 20:00
|
You're the Avatar. You tell me.
|
20:01 - 20:04
|
Time is an illusion...
|
20:04 - 20:08
|
So, it's someone I will meet.
|
20:09 - 20:13
|
Sorry to interrupt the lesson, but we still need to find Appa and Momo.
|
20:13 - 20:15
|
I think I know how to find them.
|
20:15 - 20:18
|
Everything is connected.
|
20:37 - 20:38
|
Come on, we've gotta hurry!
|
20:39 - 20:42
|
Set my lines by the riverbed
|
20:42 - 20:46
|
Caught ten fish, and I killed 'em dead
|
20:46 - 20:49
|
Cut 'em and gut 'em And I toss the heads
|
20:49 - 20:52
|
In the water To keep them cat-gators fed
|
20:58 - 20:59
|
Appa!
|
21:00 - 21:02
|
Oh!
|
21:02 - 21:03
|
We're under attack!
|
21:07 - 21:09
|
Hey, you guys are waterbenders.
|
21:10 - 21:11
|
You, too?
|
21:11 - 21:13
|
That means we're kin.
|
21:19 - 21:21
|
Hey, Huu. How you been?
|
21:21 - 21:26
|
You know, scared some folks, swung some vines... The usual.
|
21:26 - 21:28
|
Huu?
|
21:31 - 21:33
|
How you like that possum-chicken?
|
21:33 - 21:35
|
Tastes just like arctic hen.
|
21:36 - 21:38
|
So why were you guys so interested in eating Appa?
|
21:38 - 21:41
|
You've got plenty of those big things wandering around.
|
21:41 - 21:43
|
You want me to eat ol' Slim?
|
21:43 - 21:46
|
He's like a member of the family.
|
21:46 - 21:47
|
Nice Slim.
|
21:47 - 21:49
|
Ah!
|
21:50 - 21:52
|
Oh, he don't eat no bugs.
|
21:52 - 21:54
|
That's people food.
|
21:54 - 21:56
|
Where'd you say you was from?
|
21:56 - 21:57
|
The South Pole.
|
21:57 - 22:00
|
Didn't know there was waterbenders anywhere but here.
|
22:00 - 22:02
|
They got a nice swamp there, do they?
|
22:02 - 22:04
|
No, it's all ice and snow.
|
22:05 - 22:07
|
Hmm, no wonder you left.
|
22:07 - 22:09
|
Well, I hope you realize now
|
22:09 - 22:11
|
that nothing strange was going on here.
|
22:12 - 22:14
|
Just a bunch of greasy people living in a swamp.
|
22:14 - 22:16
|
What about the visions?
|
22:16 - 22:18
|
I told you, we were hungry.
|
22:18 - 22:20
|
I'm eating a giant bug.
|
22:22 - 22:23
|
Mmm-ugh.
|
22:24 - 22:27
|
But what about when the tree showed me where Appa and Momo were?
|
22:27 - 22:29
|
That's Avatar stuff, that doesn't count.
|
22:29 - 22:31
|
The only thing I can't figure out
|
22:31 - 22:33
|
is how you made the tornado that sucked us down.
|
22:33 - 22:35
|
I can't do anything like that.
|
22:35 - 22:38
|
I just bend the water in the plants.
|
22:39 - 22:41
|
Well, no accounting for weather.
|
22:41 - 22:44
|
Still, there's absolutely nothing mysterious about the swamp.
|
22:59 - 23:01
|
Who's there?
|
23:04 - 23:05
|
Whoa!
|
23:05 - 23:06
|
Ugh...
