The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Page #7

---

I know what you are.

I know you can't see

past your narrowest concerns.

But please, Miss Everdeen.

I doubt you know

what honesty is anymore.

Command, we're at the first target.

Preparing to extract Peeta.

Will confirm when he's in hand.

Mockingjay One,

prepare hovercraft for evac.

You asked me to convince you

that I was in love with Peeta.

Haven't I at least done that?

Miss Everdeen,

it's the things we love most

that destroy us.

I want you to remember

that I said that.

Don't you think I know your friends

are in the Tribute Centre?

Cut them off.

- Boggs, come in.

- What happened?

Boggs, come in. Do you read me?

- He knows that they're in there. It's a trap.

- Katniss, hold it.

We have to get a hold of them.

We have to tell them to get out. He knows.

There's no signal.

We can't contact them.

No. Haymitch, he knew the whole time.

He was taunting me.

- No, Haymitch. They're in there.

- No, we don't know that.

Did I lose them both tonight?

Did I lose them both tonight?

Did I lose them both tonight?

Did I lose them? I lost them both.

No! No!

There's no news.

I'm sorry.

It's the worst torture in the world.

Waiting, when you know

there's nothing you can do.

Especially for people like us.

But whatever

strength, courage,

madness,

keeps us going, you find it,

at times like these.

You have it, soldier.

It's what's kept you

alive all this time.

And it won't fail you now.

They're back.

I don't want that.

Johanna.

Finnick!

Finnick!

Annie? Annie! Annie!

You're safe. You're safe.

Gale!

Are you okay?

What? What is it?

I don't get it. Every gun was back online

and on us and we flew right past them.

They let us go.

He's in there.

The gas we used on the guards knocked

him out, too, but it's wearing off now.

You should be there when he wakes up.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Peeta.

Peeta!

Peeta! Get off! Get off of her!

Let go!

No, Katniss.

No, you're swollen. Don't touch.

No, no, no. Calm down.

Calm down. You're okay.

Tell her she's awake.

- Pee...

- Don't try to talk.

Peeta's okay. I promise.

I just had to get him off you.

It's called hijacking.

We don't know how long the Capitol's

been doing this to Peeta.

It's fear conditioning.

Enhanced with tracker jacker venom.

You were stung your first Games.

Remember?

The venom puts the subject

in a dissociative state.

And they torture him.

With shocks and beatings,

and strip down his identity.

And then all of that suffering

and fear is redirected.

Associated with other memories

or a person.

They can change his memories of Katniss?

To make her seem life-threatening.

They turned him into a weapon, Katniss.

To kill you.

But you can reverse it?

The fear is the most difficult

thing to overcome.

We're hardwired to remember fear best.

It's new terrain.

But we've put together a team.

I'm optimistic.

Good evening.

Yesterday, I authorized a covert

rescue mission inside the Capitol.

I am pleased to announce

that the Victors have been liberated!

Let this day mark an historic change.

With The Mockingjay

and the Victors beside us,

we have sent a clear message

to the Capitol.

That we will never again

endure injustice.

Today, a day on which

we reunited family,

friends, and loved ones.

Let all of Panem come together.

Not to battle for the amusement

of the Capitol.

But to join hands in this fight.

Let today be the day we promise

never to give up,

never to give in

until we have made a new Panem,

where leaders are elected,

not imposed upon us.

And where the districts are free

to share the fruits of their labours

and not fight one another for scraps!

This new Panem is on the horizon.

But we must take it for ourselves.

The road there leads through

the sharp mountains

and deep ravines of District 2.

There in the heart of Panem's

steepest mountain range

lies the Capitol's principal

military facility.

We can conquer this stronghold

because we are one people,

one army, one voice.

Because today is our new beginning.

Today we have freed the Victors.

Tomorrow, Panem!

Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah!
