The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

Start simple.

Start with what you know is true.

My name is Katniss Everdeen. My home is District 12.

I was in the Hunger Games. I escaped.

Peeta... Peeta was left behind.

Miss Everdeen?

You can't be in here.

I had a nightmare. Just five more minutes.

You need to sleep. We can help you sleep.

Just five more minutes.

No.

No, please, don't. It's just five more...

Don't touch me! Don't! No! No! Get off of me!

Finnick.

I wanted to go back for Peeta and Johanna,

but I, uh...

I couldn't move.

They have Annie, too. They took her.

She's, uh...

She's in the Capitol.

I wish she was dead.

I wish they were all dead and we were, too.

Miss Everdeen.

Colonel Boggs, District 13's head of security.

I know you've been discharged,

but President Coin's requested to meet with you first.

Is there any news?

I'm just here to escort you.

We were always told there was nothing left of 13.

Capitol bombed the surface to rubble.

But we're military, so we learned to survive down here.

Preparing, training.

The war never stopped for us.

There she is.

Our Girl on Fire.

Madam President, may I present you with The Mockingjay.

What an honor it is to meet you.

You're a courageous young woman.

I know how disorienting this must be.

And I can't imagine what it's like to live through the atrocities of those Games.

Katniss,

President Alma Coin.

Please know how welcome you are.

I hope you'll find some comfort with us.

We've known loss in 13, too.

This is history. Right here at this table.

I apologize.

I wish you had more time to recover, but unfortunately, we don't have that luxury.

Please, have a seat.

Are you aware of what's happened?

When you fired your arrow at the force field

you electrified the nation.

There have been riots and uprisings and strikes in seven districts.

We believe that if we keep this energy going we can unify the districts against the Capitol.

But if we don't, if we let it dissipate,

we could be waiting another 75 years for this opportunity.

Everyone in 13 is ready for this.

What about Peeta? Is he alive?

I don't know. And I wish that I did.

But there's no way for me to contact my operatives inside the Capitol.

The Capitol has always suppressed communication between the districts.

But I know their system very well.

I managed to break through.

All we need now is the perfect message.

Katniss, here's what we need to do.

We need to show them that The Mockingjay's alive and well

and willing to stand up and join this fight.

'Cause we need every district to stand up to this Capitol.

The way you did.

So we're gonna shoot a series of propaganda clips,

propos, I like to call them,

on The Mockingjay.

Spreads the word

that we're gonna stoke the fire of this rebellion.

The fire that The Mockingjay started.

You left him there.

- You left Peeta in that arena to die. - Katniss, there are so many...

Peeta was the one who was supposed to live.

Miss Everdeen.

This revolution is about everyone.

It's about all of us.

And we need a voice.

Then you should've saved Peeta.

Maybe you should have rescued the boy instead.

Oh, no.

No, listen to me. No one else can do this but her.

This is not the girl you described.

Obviously, we need to make it personal.

Remind her who the real enemy is.

She knows who the enemy is. That's not the issue.

Unless she's forgotten.

There's explaining and there's showing.

Let her see what the Capitol did to 12.

She can't handle it. The Games destroyed her.

This is the only choice you have.

People don't always show up the way you want them to, Madam President.

But that anger, that anger-driven defiance, that's what we want. And we can redirect it.

We need to unite these people out there

that have been doing nothing but killing each other

in an arena for years.

We have to have a lightning rod.

They'll follow her. She's the face of the revolution.

Let her see it. Let her go home.

Send her.

I can't believe you're going through with this.

You can say "no."

I need to see it for myself.

This way.

13 swept everything, top to bottom

so you'd be safe.

You sure you don't want me to go with you?

Yeah. I'm sure.

We'll have our eyes on you from above.

Figures.

Hey!

Come on.

Don't you wanna see Prim?

There you go. You're breakin' my heart.

Shh.

Egeria!

We need to fix these lines.

I won't say "rebels."

These are senseless acts of defiance.

And I won't legitimize them.

We'll call them "criminals."

Mmm.

"Radicals."

Hmm.

Otherwise we're breaking my oldest rule.

Never let them see you bleed.

Citizens,

tonight I address all of Panem as one.

Since the Dark Days,

Panem has had an unprecedented era of peace.

It is a peace built upon cooperation.

And a respect for law and order.

In the past weeks, you have heard of sporadic violence

following the actions of a few radicals in the Quarter Quell.

Those who choose this destructive path,

your actions are based on a misunderstanding

of how we have survived. Together.

It is a contract.

Each district supplies the Capitol. Like blood to a heart.

In return, the Capitol provides order and security.

To refuse work

is to put the entire system in danger.

The Capitol is the beating heart of Panem.

Nothing can survive without a heart.

The criminals that kneel before you use symbols for the purpose of sedition.

Which is why all images of The Mockingjay are now forbidden.

Possessing them will be considered treason.

Punishable by death.

Justice shall be served swiftly.

Order shall be restored.

To those who ignore the warnings of history...

prepare to pay the ultimate price.

It's okay.

We're okay.

We're all here now.

Buttercup!

I smuggled him in.

I got Dad.

And I got some of your herbs from the kitchen.

They have strict rules.

I don't know what they'll do if they find him here.

You should try to eat something.

Hello. Good evening.

And a big welcome to all in Panem.

I'm Caesar Flickerman.

And whoever you are, whatever it is you're doing,

if you're working, put down your work.

If you're having dinner, stop having dinner.

Because you are going to want to witness this tonight.

There has been rampant speculation

about what really happened in the Quarter Quell.

And here to shed a little light on the subject for us is a very special guest.

Please welcome Mr. Peeta Mellark.

Peeta, a lot of people feel as though they are in the dark.

Yeah, I know how they feel.

Now, so set the stage for us.

Talk us through what really happened on that final and controversial night.

Well, first off, you have to understand that when you're in the Games

you only get one wish. It's very costly.

You're alive.

It costs your life.

I think it costs more than your life.

How do you mean? What's more than your life?

I mean to murder innocent people, that costs everything that you are.

Yes.

So you hold on to that one wish.

And that night my wish was to save Katniss.

Yes.

I should've just run off with her earlier in the day like she'd wanted.

But you didn't.

Why? Were you caught up in Beetee's plan?

No, I was caught up trying to play allies.

And then they separated us

and that's when I lost her.

And then the lightning hit

and the whole force field around the arena just blew out.
