The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Page #4

Your mom's gonna be proud of you

when she sees the footage.

- Will this play in the districts?

- It'll be tattooed on their eyes.

- There's a problem.

- What kinda problem?

Incoming bombers from the north.

- We need to find cover now.

- There's a bunker in there.

Straight ahead and down the stairs.

Katniss!

Katniss!

Everdeen!

Everdeen!

Gale, back away from the wall!

You okay?

Move!

- They're going after something to the south.

- That's towards the hospital.

They're circling back around. Come on!

That's the hospital.

They're targeting the hospital.

Help them!

Help them! Get them out!

Katniss?

Katniss, can you tell everyone

what you're seeing right now?

Katniss, what do you wanna say?

I want the rebels

to know that I'm alive.

That I'm in District 8

where the Capitol just bombed a hospital

filled with unarmed men,

women and children.

And there will be no survivors.

If you think for one second that

the Capitol will ever treat us fairly

you are lying to yourselves.

Because we know who they are

and what they do.

This is what they do!

And we must fight back.

I have a message for President Snow.

You can torture us and bomb us

and burn our districts to the ground.

But do you see that?

Fire is catching.

And if we burn, you burn with us!

We know who they are and what they do.

This is what they do!

And we must fight back.

You can torture us and bomb us

and burn our districts to the ground.

Plutarch's faith in you

wasn't misplaced.

- But do you see that?

- Thank you.

- Fire is catching.

- Come up with me for the beginning.

And if we burn, you burn with us!

There is no progress without compromise.

No victory without sacrifice.

But I stand here with The Mockingjay

to announce that our moment has arrived.

Beetee has increased

our use of the airwaves tenfold.

We will broadcast this message

to all the districts tonight.

The Mockingjay's words inspiring

everyone to join the rebellion.

Together, we will become

an alliance to be reckoned with.

Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah!

You don't like hearing

a fight song at a funeral?

The more people on our side,

the closer we are to Peeta and Annie.

Yeah.

By order of President Snow daily production

quotas have been increased.

All work shifts will be extended

by an extra two hours.

Failure to meet these quotas

will not be tolerated.

By order of President Snow daily

production quotas have been increased.

If we burn, you burn with us!

Yeah!

Yeah!

- I got good news.

- What?

Coin agreed to let us hunt above ground.

He's not even afraid of us.

It's 'cause they've

never been hunted before.

It's almost not fair.

They want us back.

- They asked us to head for Command.

- All right. I gotta drop these off.

She was arguably

our favourite Tribute.

And I think that's what

we all find most astonishing,

is that this girl was

adored in the Capitol.

And I think for you, Peeta,

it must be particularly painful.

I wish I could give

this rose to you, Katniss.

He's changed so much already.

What are they doing to him?

A sweet gesture for a girl

who has inspired such violence.

You must love her very much

to be able to forgive her.

- He's shaking.

- I don't think that I could.

Unless, of course, Peeta,

you think that perhaps she's being

forced into saying things that

she doesn't even understand.

Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what I think.

- Even his voice is different.

- I think they're using her to whip up the rebels.

I doubt she even knows what's happening.

And what's really at stake.

Now, Peeta, I doubt that the rebels

will ever let her see this.

But if they do,

what would you say to her?

To Katniss Everdeen, the once sweet Katniss

Everdeen. What would you say to her?

I would... I would tell her

to think for herself.

Yes.

Don't be a fool, Katniss.

I know you never wanted the rebellion.

The things that you did in the Games

were never intended to start all of this.

The rebels have made you

into something that you're not.

Something that could destroy all of us.

So if you have any power or any say

in what they do or how they use you,

please, please, urge them to stop

this war before it's too late.

And ask yourself, can you trust

the people you're working with?

- Do you know what they really want?

- We need to respond.

Thank you, Peeta Mellark, for these

revelations about the real Mockingjay.

- Did you see what he looks like?

- I saw a coward.

- You don't have any idea what he's going through.

- I don't care.

I would never say what he just said.

Not if they tortured me.

Not with a gun to my head.

That is the same Peeta that

defended you at the whipping post.

No, it's not.

Now he's only defending himself.

Coin's called a meeting.

We need to respond.

When did "we" become you and Coin?

Everyone has a choice.

How can he sit there in the Capitol and

defend the people who destroyed his home

and murdered his family?

He doesn't know.

How could he? Nobody's seen

what the Capitol did to 12.

I have to show them.

So I wanna start with you

in front of the Justice Building, okay?

Bang. First shot.

Katniss, tell us what happened here.

We were all standin' right here

watchin' the Games

when you fired that arrow.

The screens just went dark.

Nobody had any idea what happened.

Peacekeepers forced us

back into our homes.

For maybe an hour,

the town was just dead quiet.

Little past 9:
00,

we heard their trucks pullin' out.

All of them. Every single Peacekeeper.

And I knew what that meant.

Me and a couple of guys from the mines,

we started pulling people from their houses

and tried to get 'em to the fence line but

a lotta people were scared of the forest.

So they headed up onto the road.

Make a break for it that way.

Stay with Gale.

915 of us made it to the fence.

Then we watched as...

bombers circled back towards the road.

They firebombed them as they ran away.

915 outta 10,000.

I should've grabbed people.

I should've dragged 'em with me.

- Some of the kids I could've carried.

- You saved so many people, Gale.

Without you, there would be no District 12.

Not even the memory of it.

This is where you kissed me.

I didn't think you remembered that.

I'd have to be dead to forget that.

Maybe not even then.

I knew you'd do that.

How? I didn't.

'Cause I'm in pain.

That's the only way

that I can get your attention.

Don't worry, Katniss. It'll pass.

Hey.

Yeah, that's a Mockingjay.

Well, now they'll never shut up.

You want me to sing?

Are you, are you.

Coming to the tree.

They strung up a man.

They say who murdered three.

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be.

If we met at midnight.

In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you.

Coming to the tree.

Where the dead man called out

for his love to flee.

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be.

If we met at midnight.

In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you.

Coming to the tree.

Where I told you to run.
