1
00:00:02,252 --> 00:00:03,554
Water...

2
00:00:03,555 --> 00:00:05,308
Earth...

3
00:00:05,433 --> 00:00:07,434
Fire...

4
00:00:07,562 --> 00:00:09,897
Air.

5
00:00:10,023 --> 00:00:13,153
Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.

6
00:00:13,277 --> 00:00:18,120
Then everything changed
when the Fire Nation attacked.

7
00:00:18,245 --> 00:00:22,375
Only the Avatar, master of all
four elements, could stop them.

8
00:00:22,377 --> 00:00:24,293
But when the world
needed him most

9
00:00:24,294 --> 00:00:26,174
he vanished.

10
00:00:26,298 --> 00:00:29,929
100 years passed and my brother
and I discovered the new Avatar

11
00:00:30,054 --> 00:00:31,766
an airbender named Aang.

12
00:00:31,767 --> 00:00:34,225
And although his airbending
skills are great

13
00:00:34,227 --> 00:00:37,356
he has a lot to learn before
he's ready to save anyone.

14
00:00:37,482 --> 00:00:41,696
But I believe Aang
can save the world.

15
00:00:50,996 --> 00:00:54,752
You're looking at the only
waterbender in the whole South Pole.

16
00:00:54,877 --> 00:00:58,967
This ship has haunted
my tribe since Gran-Gran was a little girl.

17
00:00:59,092 --> 00:01:02,179
It was part of
the Fire Nation's first attack.

18
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:04,933
The legends say the moon
was the first waterbender.

19
00:01:04,934 --> 00:01:07,980
Our ancestors saw how it
pushed and pulled the tides

20
00:01:08,105 --> 00:01:10,275
and learned how to
do it themselves.

21
00:01:10,402 --> 00:01:13,572
I've always noticed my
waterbending is stronger at night.

22
00:01:16,075 --> 00:01:17,327
What are you doing?

23
00:01:17,454 --> 00:01:19,623
I'm making my own water.

24
00:01:36,076 --> 00:01:42,031
Suddenly, they heard something
down the hall, in the dark.

25
00:01:42,032 --> 00:01:46,415
Ooh...?

26
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:49,084
It came into the torchlight.

27
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:53,592
And they knew the blade
of Wing-Fun was haunted!

28
00:01:53,717 --> 00:01:57,889
Ah-ah...?

29
00:01:59,642 --> 00:02:02,815
I think I liked "the man
with a sword for a hand" better.

30
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:05,651
Water Tribe slumber
parties must stink.

31
00:02:05,776 --> 00:02:07,446
No, wait, I've got one.

32
00:02:07,447 --> 00:02:09,949
And this is a true Southern
Water Tribe story.

33
00:02:09,950 --> 00:02:12,411
Is this one of those
"a friend of my cousin

34
00:02:12,412 --> 00:02:14,540
knew some guy that
this happened to" story?

35
00:02:14,541 --> 00:02:17,336
No, it happened to mom.

36
00:02:20,425 --> 00:02:22,679
One winter, when mom was a girl

37
00:02:22,804 --> 00:02:25,640
a snowstorm buried
the whole village for weeks.

38
00:02:25,766 --> 00:02:29,897
A month later, mom realized she hadn't
seen her friend Nini since the storm.

39
00:02:30,022 --> 00:02:33,152
So mom and some others
went to check on Nini's family.

40
00:02:33,276 --> 00:02:35,238
When they got there,
no one was home.

41
00:02:35,363 --> 00:02:37,950
Just a fire
flickering in the fireplace.

42
00:02:41,706 --> 00:02:44,629
When she was alone,
she heard a voice.

43
00:02:44,754 --> 00:02:49,302
"It's so cold,
and I can't get warm. "

44
00:02:49,426 --> 00:02:52,431
Mom turned and saw
Nini standing by the fire.

45
00:02:52,557 --> 00:02:55,018
She was blue,
like she was frozen.

46
00:02:55,144 --> 00:02:58,940
Mom ran outside for help,
but when everyone came back

47
00:02:59,066 --> 00:03:00,985
Nini was gone.

48
00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:02,280
Where'd she go?

49
00:03:02,404 --> 00:03:04,365
No one knows.

50
00:03:04,492 --> 00:03:07,119
Nini's house stands empty
to this day.

51
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,332
But sometimes, people see smoke
coming up from the chimney

52
00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:13,797
like little Nini is still
trying to get warm.

53
00:03:17,135 --> 00:03:18,928
Wait.

54
00:03:19,054 --> 00:03:20,933
Guys, did you hear that?

55
00:03:21,058 --> 00:03:24,437
I hear people
under the mountain, and they're screaming.

56
00:03:24,564 --> 00:03:27,401
Pft, nice try.

57
00:03:27,527 --> 00:03:30,947
No, I'm serious,
I hear something.

58
00:03:31,073 --> 00:03:34,077
You're probably just
jumpy from the ghost stories.

59
00:03:34,203 --> 00:03:36,039
It just stopped.

60
00:03:36,164 --> 00:03:38,876
All right, now
I'm getting scared.

61
00:03:39,001 --> 00:03:40,253
Hello, children.

62
00:03:44,927 --> 00:03:48,350
Sorry to frighten you,
my name is Hama.

63
00:03:48,476 --> 00:03:52,608
You children shouldn't be out in
the forest by yourselves at night.

64
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:58,448
I have an inn nearby, why don't you come back
there for some spiced tea and warm beds?

65
00:03:59,659 --> 00:04:01,327
Yes, please.

66
00:04:08,087 --> 00:04:11,425
Thanks for letting us
stay here tonight, you have a lovely inn.

67
00:04:11,552 --> 00:04:13,471
Aren't you sweet?

68
00:04:13,472 --> 00:04:15,180
You know, you should be careful.

69
00:04:15,181 --> 00:04:18,811
People have been disappearing in
those woods you were camping in.

70
00:04:18,812 --> 00:04:20,606
What do you mean, disappearing?

71
00:04:20,607 --> 00:04:25,280
When the moon turns full,
people walk in

72
00:04:25,405 --> 00:04:28,785
and they don't come out.

73
00:04:28,910 --> 00:04:31,164
Who wants more tea?

74
00:04:34,628 --> 00:04:38,384
Don't worry, you'll all be
completely safe here.

75
00:04:38,509 --> 00:04:43,348
Why don't I show you to your rooms,
and you can get a good night's rest?

76
00:04:53,657 --> 00:04:55,911
I know, Momo,
this place is creepy.

77
00:04:56,036 --> 00:04:58,832
I don't know if I'm
gonna be able to fall asleep.

78
00:05:08,514 --> 00:05:10,432
Wakey-wakey.

79
00:05:10,557 --> 00:05:13,688
Time to go shopping.

80
00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:26,082
That Mr. Yao seems to
have a thing for you.

81
00:05:26,083 --> 00:05:29,503
Maybe we should go back and see if
he'll give us some free komodo sausages.

82
00:05:29,504 --> 00:05:33,342
You would have me use
my feminine charms

83
00:05:33,469 --> 00:05:35,764
to take advantage
of that poor man?

84
00:05:35,889 --> 00:05:39,686
I think you and I are
going to get along swimmingly.

85
00:05:39,811 --> 00:05:43,108
You won't have any
ash bananas till next week?

86
00:05:43,232 --> 00:05:47,947
Well, I have to send the boy to Hing-Wa
Island to get them, and it's a two-day trip.

87
00:05:48,072 --> 00:05:51,328
Oh, right, tomorrow's
the full moon.

88
00:05:51,453 --> 00:05:54,751
Exactly, I can't lose another
delivery boy in the woods.

89
00:05:54,876 --> 00:05:57,546
People disappearing
in the woods

90
00:05:57,672 --> 00:05:59,298
weird stuff during full moons

91
00:05:59,424 --> 00:06:01,969
this just reeks of
spirit world shenanigans.

92
00:06:02,094 --> 00:06:04,307
I bet if we take
a little walk around town

93
00:06:04,308 --> 00:06:07,894
we'll find out what these people did to
the environment to make the spirits mad.

94
00:06:07,895 --> 00:06:11,902
And then you can sew up this little
mystery, lickety-split, Avatar-style.

95
00:06:12,026 --> 00:06:15,031
Helping people,
that's what I do.

96
00:06:15,156 --> 00:06:18,619
Why don't you all take
those things back to the inn?

97
00:06:18,744 --> 00:06:21,039
I just have to run
a couple more errands.

98
00:06:21,166 --> 00:06:23,126
I'll be back in a little while.

99
00:06:23,127 --> 00:06:25,713
This is a mysterious,
little town you have here.

100
00:06:25,714 --> 00:06:29,970
Mysterious town
for mysterious children.

101
00:06:37,273 --> 00:06:39,108
That Hama seems
a little strange.

102
00:06:39,109 --> 00:06:42,029
Like she knows something,
or she's hiding something.

103
00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:43,492
That's ridiculous.

104
00:06:43,617 --> 00:06:46,631
She's a nice woman who took us
in and gave us a place to stay.

105
00:06:46,632 --> 00:06:48,371
She kind of reminds me
of Gran-Gran.

106
00:06:48,372 --> 00:06:51,639
But what did she
mean by that comment "mysterious children"?

107
00:06:51,711 --> 00:06:53,632
Gee, I don't know.

108
00:06:53,634 --> 00:06:57,512
Maybe because she found four strange
kids camping in the woods at night?

109
00:06:57,513 --> 00:07:00,267
Isn't that a little mysterious?

110
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:03,021
I'm gonna take a look around.

111
00:07:05,733 --> 00:07:08,029
Sokka, Sokka,
what are you doing?

112
00:07:08,030 --> 00:07:10,447
You can't just snoop around
someone's house.

113
00:07:10,448 --> 00:07:11,575
It'll be fine.

114
00:07:11,701 --> 00:07:15,290
She could be home any minute.

115
00:07:15,413 --> 00:07:17,960
Sokka, you're gonna get us
all in trouble.

116
00:07:18,085 --> 00:07:19,755
And this is just plain rude.

117
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,340
I'm not finished yet.

118
00:07:21,466 --> 00:07:24,095
Come on...

119
00:07:27,348 --> 00:07:29,686
Ok, that's pretty creepy.

120
00:07:29,812 --> 00:07:31,355
So she's got a hobby.

121
00:07:31,356 --> 00:07:33,273
There's nothing
weird about that.

122
00:07:33,274 --> 00:07:35,069
Sokka, you've looked enough.

123
00:07:35,195 --> 00:07:36,821
Hama will be back soon.

124
00:07:36,822 --> 00:07:40,577
Just an ordinary, puppet-loving
innkeeper, huh?

125
00:07:40,578 --> 00:07:42,496
Then why does she have
a locked door up here?

126
00:07:42,497 --> 00:07:46,003
Probably to keep people like you
from snooping through her stuff.

127
00:07:46,128 --> 00:07:48,173
We'll see.

128
00:07:48,174 --> 00:07:50,174
It's empty except for
a little chest.

129
00:07:50,175 --> 00:07:53,639
Maybe it's treasure.

130
00:07:53,765 --> 00:07:55,643
Sokka, what are you doing?

131
00:07:55,644 --> 00:07:57,604
You're breaking into
a private room.

132
00:07:57,605 --> 00:07:59,941
I have to see what's in there.

133
00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:06,117
We shouldn't be doing this.

134
00:08:06,242 --> 00:08:08,327
Maybe there's a key
here somewhere.

135
00:08:08,453 --> 00:08:10,247
Oh, hand it over.

136
00:08:14,963 --> 00:08:16,339
Come on, come on.

137
00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:18,719
This isn't as easy it looks.

138
00:08:18,844 --> 00:08:20,805
Guys, I don't know about this.

139
00:08:20,930 --> 00:08:23,017
This is crazy, I'm leaving.

140
00:08:23,141 --> 00:08:25,604
Suit yourself, do it, Toph.

141
00:08:28,568 --> 00:08:31,029
I'll tell you
what's in the box.

142
00:08:46,135 --> 00:08:47,679
An old comb?

143
00:08:47,805 --> 00:08:50,684
It's my greatest treasure.

144
00:08:50,809 --> 00:08:56,233
It's the last thing I owned from
growing up in the Southern Water Tribe.

145
00:08:58,849 --> 00:09:01,020
You're from the Southern
Water Tribe?

146
00:09:01,390 --> 00:09:03,431
Just like you.

147
00:09:03,515 --> 00:09:04,765
How did you know?

148
00:09:04,889 --> 00:09:07,223
I heard you talking
around your campfire.

149
00:09:07,349 --> 00:09:08,933
But why didn't you tell us?

150
00:09:09,059 --> 00:09:11,516
I wanted to surprise you.

151
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,307
I bought all this food today so I could
fix you a big, Water Tribe dinner.

152
00:09:16,434 --> 00:09:19,888
Of course, I can't get all
the ingredients I need here, but

153
00:09:20,014 --> 00:09:23,680
ocean kumquats are a lot like sea
prunes, if you stew them long enough.

154
00:09:24,545 --> 00:09:26,636
Great.

155
00:09:26,637 --> 00:09:28,764
I knew I felt a bond
with you right away.

156
00:09:28,765 --> 00:09:30,720
And I knew you were
keeping a secret

157
00:09:30,721 --> 00:09:32,426
so I guess we're both right.

158
00:09:32,553 --> 00:09:35,427
But I'm sorry we were
sneaking around.

159
00:09:35,552 --> 00:09:38,261
Apology accepted.

160
00:09:38,387 --> 00:09:40,806
Now let's get cooking.

161
00:09:59,553 --> 00:10:01,842
I'd steer clear
of the sea prunes.

162
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:04,175
I thought they were
ocean kumquats.

163
00:10:04,176 --> 00:10:05,342
Close enough.

164
00:10:05,343 --> 00:10:08,468
Who wants five-flavor soup?

165
00:10:12,924 --> 00:10:14,258
You're a waterbender.

166
00:10:14,259 --> 00:10:17,010
I've never met another
waterbender from our tribe.

167
00:10:17,011 --> 00:10:21,050
That's because the Fire Nation
wiped them all out.

168
00:10:21,176 --> 00:10:22,841
I was the last one.

169
00:10:22,968 --> 00:10:25,926
So how did you end up out here?

170
00:10:26,047 --> 00:10:29,717
I was stolen from my home.

171
00:10:29,841 --> 00:10:33,926
It was over 60 years ago
when the raids started.

172
00:11:00,546 --> 00:11:02,254
They came again and again.

173
00:11:02,379 --> 00:11:07,671
Each time, rounding up more of out
waterbenders and taking them captive.

174
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:13,503
We did our best to hold them off

175
00:11:13,628 --> 00:11:17,586
but our numbers dwindled
as the raids continued.

176
00:11:25,129 --> 00:11:30,085
Finally, I, too, was captured.

177
00:11:30,922 --> 00:11:34,209
I was led away in chains.

178
00:11:34,334 --> 00:11:38,167
The last waterbender of
the Southern Water Tribe.

179
00:11:45,331 --> 00:11:49,125
They put us in terrible prisons
here in the Fire Nation.

180
00:11:49,249 --> 00:11:52,416
I was the only one
who managed to escape.

181
00:11:52,543 --> 00:11:54,248
How did you get away?

182
00:11:54,373 --> 00:11:56,709
And why did you stay
in the Fire Nation?

183
00:11:56,834 --> 00:11:58,290
I'm sorry.

184
00:11:58,416 --> 00:12:01,542
It's too painful to
talk about anymore.

185
00:12:01,667 --> 00:12:03,460
We completely understand.

186
00:12:03,584 --> 00:12:05,749
We lost our mother in a raid.

187
00:12:05,873 --> 00:12:08,125
Oh, you poor things.

188
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:13,206
I can't tell you
what it means to meet you.

189
00:12:13,334 --> 00:12:15,500
It's an honor, you're a hero.

190
00:12:15,627 --> 00:12:19,330
I never thought I'd meet
another Southern waterbender.

191
00:12:19,456 --> 00:12:21,625
I'd like to teach you
what I know

192
00:12:21,748 --> 00:12:24,705
so you can carry on
the Southern tradition when I'm gone.

193
00:12:24,829 --> 00:12:28,123
Yes, yes, of course.

194
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:32,413
To learn about my heritage,
it would mean everything to me.

195
00:12:36,747 --> 00:12:38,538
Growing up at the South Pole

196
00:12:38,664 --> 00:12:43,577
waterbenders are totally at home
surrounded by snow and ice and seas.

197
00:12:43,702 --> 00:12:46,079
But as you probably
noticed on your travels

198
00:12:46,204 --> 00:12:48,873
that isn't the case
wherever you go.

199
00:12:48,995 --> 00:12:51,257
I know, when we were
stranded in the desert

200
00:12:51,329 --> 00:12:53,909
I felt like there was
almost nothing I could do.

201
00:12:54,035 --> 00:12:58,407
That's why you have to
learn to control water wherever it exists.

202
00:12:58,534 --> 00:13:00,919
I've even used my own
sweat for waterbending.

203
00:13:01,035 --> 00:13:03,495
That's very resourceful, Katara.

204
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:05,868
You're thinking like
a true master.

205
00:13:05,993 --> 00:13:09,659
But did you know you can even
pull water out of thin air?

206
00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:17,534
You've got to
keep an open mind, Katara.

207
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:21,241
There's water in places
you never think about.

208
00:13:24,944 --> 00:13:28,535
This has gotta be the nicest,
natural setting in the Fire Nation.

209
00:13:28,536 --> 00:13:31,074
I don't see anything that would
make a spirit mad around here.

210
00:13:31,075 --> 00:13:35,157
Maybe the moon spirit
just turned mean.

211
00:13:35,283 --> 00:13:37,992
The moon spirit is
a gentle, loving lady.

212
00:13:38,116 --> 00:13:39,991
She rules the sky
with compassion.

213
00:13:40,114 --> 00:13:42,366
And... lunar goodness.

214
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,866
Excuse me, sir.

215
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:49,198
Can you tell us anything about the
spirit that's been stealing people?

216
00:13:49,199 --> 00:13:53,240
Only one man ever saw it and
lived, and that's old man Ding.

217
00:13:53,364 --> 00:13:55,701
Where does old man Ding live?

218
00:13:55,823 --> 00:13:59,071
Wow, these flowers
are beautiful.

219
00:13:59,196 --> 00:14:01,028
They're called fire lilies.

220
00:14:01,153 --> 00:14:04,408
They only bloom
a few weeks a year

221
00:14:04,532 --> 00:14:08,029
but they're one of my favorite
things about living here.

222
00:14:08,154 --> 00:14:12,033
And like all plants, and all living
things, they're filled with water.

223
00:14:12,158 --> 00:14:14,693
I met a waterbender
who lived in a swamp

224
00:14:14,695 --> 00:14:17,527
and could control the vines
by bending the water inside.

225
00:14:17,528 --> 00:14:20,822
You can take it even further.

226
00:14:27,488 --> 00:14:30,235
That was incredible.

227
00:14:30,361 --> 00:14:32,903
It's a shame about
the lilies, though.

228
00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:34,609
They're just flowers.

229
00:14:34,734 --> 00:14:37,057
When you're a waterbender
in a strange land

230
00:14:37,151 --> 00:14:39,901
you do what you must to survive.

231
00:14:40,026 --> 00:14:43,530
Tonight, I'll teach you
the ultimate technique of waterbending.

232
00:14:43,651 --> 00:14:46,567
It can only be done
during the full moon

233
00:14:46,693 --> 00:14:48,650
when your bending
is at its peak.

234
00:14:48,775 --> 00:14:50,985
But isn't that dangerous?

235
00:14:50,986 --> 00:14:54,318
I thought people have been disappearing
around here during the full moon.

236
00:14:54,319 --> 00:14:56,193
Oh, Katara.

237
00:14:56,318 --> 00:14:59,858
Two master waterbenders
beneath a full moon?

238
00:14:59,984 --> 00:15:02,693
I don't think we have
anything to worry about.

239
00:15:13,021 --> 00:15:14,118
Old man Ding?

240
00:15:14,190 --> 00:15:16,027
Eh, ow...

241
00:15:16,028 --> 00:15:17,187
Aw, dag blam it.

242
00:15:17,188 --> 00:15:18,285
What?

243
00:15:18,398 --> 00:15:19,982
Can't you see I'm busy?

244
00:15:20,107 --> 00:15:22,524
Got a full moon rising.

245
00:15:22,648 --> 00:15:26,436
And why does everyone
call me that, I'm not that old.

246
00:15:28,275 --> 00:15:30,357
Aww...

247
00:15:30,482 --> 00:15:32,356
Well, I'm young at heart.

248
00:15:35,312 --> 00:15:40,232
Not ready to get snapped up by
some moon monster, yet, at least.

249
00:15:40,355 --> 00:15:42,480
We wanted to
ask you about that.

250
00:15:42,481 --> 00:15:44,770
Did you get a good look
at the spirit that took you?

251
00:15:44,771 --> 00:15:46,563
Didn't see no spirit.

252
00:15:46,688 --> 00:15:48,811
Just felt something
come over me.

253
00:15:48,938 --> 00:15:51,229
Like I was possessed.

254
00:15:51,354 --> 00:15:55,269
Forced me to start
walking toward the mountain.

255
00:15:55,394 --> 00:15:58,936
I tried to fight it, but
I couldn't control my own limbs.

256
00:15:59,062 --> 00:16:02,603
It just about had me
into a cave up there.

257
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:09,186
And I looked up at the moon for what I
thought would be my last glimpse of light.

258
00:16:09,310 --> 00:16:12,520
But then the sun
started to rise.

259
00:16:12,644 --> 00:16:14,811
And I got control of
myself again.

260
00:16:14,937 --> 00:16:18,350
I just high-tailed it away from
that mountain as quick as I could.

261
00:16:18,475 --> 00:16:21,602
Why would a spirit want to
take people to a mountain?

262
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:22,974
Oh, no!

263
00:16:22,975 --> 00:16:25,433
I did hear people screaming
under the mountain.

264
00:16:25,434 --> 00:16:28,143
The missing villagers
must still be there.

265
00:16:39,813 --> 00:16:42,026
I can hear them,
they're this way.

266
00:16:46,455 --> 00:16:49,798
Can you feel the power
the full moon brings?

267
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,772
For generations, it has blessed
waterbenders with its glow.

268
00:16:56,898 --> 00:17:02,118
Allowing us to do
incredible things.

269
00:17:02,243 --> 00:17:05,879
I've never felt more alive.

270
00:17:09,682 --> 00:17:11,100
This is the place.

271
00:17:11,225 --> 00:17:13,146
I can't see
anything down there.

272
00:17:13,272 --> 00:17:16,030
That's why you have me,
let's go.

273
00:17:28,771 --> 00:17:30,650
We're saved.

274
00:17:31,876 --> 00:17:35,369
I didn't know that spirits made prisons
like this, who brought you here?

275
00:17:35,497 --> 00:17:37,124
It was no spirit.

276
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:38,545
It was a witch.

277
00:17:38,670 --> 00:17:40,593
A witch? What do you mean?

278
00:17:40,717 --> 00:17:43,810
She seems like
a normal old woman.

279
00:17:43,934 --> 00:17:47,400
But she controls people
like some dark puppetmaster.

280
00:17:47,528 --> 00:17:49,072
Hama.

281
00:17:49,196 --> 00:17:51,076
Yes, the innkeeper.

282
00:17:51,201 --> 00:17:53,836
I knew there was something
creepy about her.

283
00:17:53,959 --> 00:17:55,337
We have to stop Hama.

284
00:17:55,464 --> 00:17:58,929
I'll get these people
out of here, you go.

285
00:18:04,067 --> 00:18:05,741
What I'm about to show you

286
00:18:05,866 --> 00:18:10,876
I discovered in that
wretched Fire Nation prison.

287
00:18:11,001 --> 00:18:14,595
The guards were always careful
to keep any water away from us.

288
00:18:14,678 --> 00:18:18,731
They piped in dry air,
and had us suspended away from the ground.

289
00:18:18,855 --> 00:18:24,494
Before giving us any water, they would bind
our hands and feet so we couldn't bend.

290
00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:29,340
Any sign of trouble
was met with cruel retribution.

291
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:34,101
And yet, each month, I felt the
full moon enriching me with its energy.

292
00:18:34,226 --> 00:18:37,487
There had to be something
I could do to escape.

293
00:18:37,612 --> 00:18:42,205
Then I realized that where
there is life, there is water.

294
00:18:42,329 --> 00:18:45,716
The rats that scurried across
the floor of my cage

295
00:18:45,842 --> 00:18:49,474
were nothing more than
skins filled with liquid.

296
00:18:49,601 --> 00:18:55,617
And I passed years developing the
skills that would lead to my escape.

297
00:18:55,740 --> 00:18:58,203
Bloodbending.

298
00:18:58,329 --> 00:19:01,047
Controlling the water
in another body.

299
00:19:01,171 --> 00:19:04,471
Enforcing your own will
over theirs.

300
00:19:04,597 --> 00:19:09,652
Once I had mastered the rats,
I was ready for the men.

301
00:19:16,208 --> 00:19:18,422
And during the next full moon

302
00:19:18,547 --> 00:19:21,682
I walked free for
the first time in decades.

303
00:19:23,059 --> 00:19:27,698
My cell unlocked by the very
guards assigned to keep me in.

304
00:19:27,822 --> 00:19:32,333
Once you perfect this technique,
you can control anything.

305
00:19:32,459 --> 00:19:34,714
Or anyone.

306
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,599
But to reach inside someone
and control them?

307
00:19:38,725 --> 00:19:41,481
I don't know if I want
that kind of power.

308
00:19:41,606 --> 00:19:44,071
The choice is not yours.

309
00:19:44,196 --> 00:19:46,746
The power exists.

310
00:19:46,871 --> 00:19:50,504
And it's your duty to use the gifts
you've been given to win this war.

311
00:19:50,629 --> 00:19:56,060
Katara, they tried to wipe us out,
our entire culture, your mother.

312
00:19:56,185 --> 00:19:57,396
I know.

313
00:19:57,522 --> 00:20:01,032
Then you should understand
what I'm talking about.

314
00:20:01,156 --> 00:20:04,707
We're the last waterbenders
of the Southern Tribe.

315
00:20:04,833 --> 00:20:07,923
We have to fight these people
whenever we can.

316
00:20:08,048 --> 00:20:11,474
Wherever they are,
with any means necessary.

317
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,396
It's you.

318
00:20:13,521 --> 00:20:17,156
You're the one who's making people
disappear during the full moons.

319
00:20:17,281 --> 00:20:20,622
They threw me in prison to rot

320
00:20:20,749 --> 00:20:22,878
along with
my brothers and sisters.

321
00:20:23,004 --> 00:20:24,716
They deserve the same.

322
00:20:24,841 --> 00:20:26,720
You must carry on my work.

323
00:20:26,847 --> 00:20:29,353
I won't, I won't
use bloodbending

324
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:32,193
and I won't allow you
to keep terrorizing this town.

325
00:20:36,496 --> 00:20:40,296
You should have learned
the technique before you turned against me.

326
00:20:40,422 --> 00:20:43,640
It's impossible to fight
your way out of my grip.

327
00:20:43,764 --> 00:20:48,358
I control every muscle,
every vein in your body.

328
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,146
Stop, please.

329
00:21:21,487 --> 00:21:24,367
You're not the only one
who draws power from the moon.

330
00:21:24,493 --> 00:21:27,332
My bending is more powerful
than yours, Hama.

331
00:21:27,459 --> 00:21:30,549
Your technique is useless on me.

332
00:21:55,462 --> 00:21:57,324
We know what you've
been doing, Hama.

333
00:21:57,326 --> 00:21:58,997
Give up, you're outnumbered.

334
00:21:59,123 --> 00:22:01,795
No.

335
00:22:01,921 --> 00:22:04,678
You've outnumbered yourselves.

336
00:22:14,286 --> 00:22:15,788
Katara, look out!

337
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:20,510
It's like my brain
has a mind of its own.

338
00:22:20,635 --> 00:22:23,391
Stop it, arm, stop it!

339
00:22:25,772 --> 00:22:27,528
This feels weird.

340
00:22:30,492 --> 00:22:32,121
I'm sorry, Aang.

341
00:22:32,247 --> 00:22:33,835
It's ok.

342
00:22:41,188 --> 00:22:44,111
Don't hurt your friends, Katara.

343
00:22:44,236 --> 00:22:46,451
And don't let them
hurt each other.

344
00:22:48,832 --> 00:22:50,168
