The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
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...
I couldn't move.
They have Annie, too. They took her.
She's...
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.
There she is. Our Girl on Fire.
Madam President,
may I present you with The Mockingjay.
What an honour 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,
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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."
"Radicals."
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
