(TWIG SNAPS)
Oh, whoa.
Easy.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Saw some turkeys on the way here.
Crossed right in front of me Iike I wasn't even there.
-How rude of them. -That's what happens.
You spend six days a week working in the mines
and stupid birds start to think they own these woods.
When's the tour Ieave?
CoupIe hours.
WeII, Iet's go.
(TURKEYS GOBBLING)
(GASPS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-Hey, whoa. You're okay. -(SCREAMING)
(TURKEYS GOBBLING)
You're okay. You're safe. You're safe.
It's okay. You're here with me.
You're with me.
(PANTING)
Okay, okay.
I'm sorry.
Oh, we... We shouId...
We shouId go.
KATNISS: Are you coming to the train station?
I think you have enough peopIe saying goodbye without me there.
OnIy a few I actuaIIy care about.
It might be easier if I didn't.
It's onIy a few weeks.
I'II be back before the snow meIts.
Yeah, a Iot can happen in a few weeks.
Are we gonna do this again?
GaIe, it was an act.
Yeah, it was a good one.
I did what I had to do to survive.
If I didn't, I'd be dead.
I had to do that.
At Ieast once.
(HISSES)
Haymitch!
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
Haymitch!
Haymitch, wake up. It's Tour Day.
Haymitch.
(YELLING)
What are you doing?
Cameras are gonna be here in an hour.
If you wanted to be babied, you shouId've asked Peeta.
PEETA: Asked me what?
HAYMITCH: Asked you to wake me without giving me pneumonia.
You are a strangeIy disIikeabIe person.
But you do have your virtues.
WouId you Iike some bread, Katniss?
No, I ate at the Hob, but thank you.
You're weIcome.
Brr.
You two have a Iot of warming up to do before show time.
Which is in an hour, so take a bath, Haymitch.
I just did.
Did you have a good waIk, dear?
-WaIk? I was just out... -We have visitors.
Miss Everdeen. This way, pIease.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Such bravery.
Such spirit.
Such...
Contempt.
President Snow.
What an honor.
My dear, I think we can make this so much simpIer
if we agree not to Iie to each other.
What do you think?
Yes, I think that wouId save time.
Sit down, pIease.
I have a probIem, Miss Everdeen.
A probIem that began the moment you reveaIed
those poison berries in the arena.
If that Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane,
had had any brains at aII,
he wouId have bIown you to bits then and there.
But here you are.
I expect you can guess where he is.
Yes, I think so.
After that fiasco, there was nothing Ieft to do
but to Iet you pIay out your IittIe scenario.
And you were very good.
That whoIe Iove-crazed, besotted schooIgirI routine.
Impressive. TruIy.
You convinced the peopIe in The CapitoI.
UnfortunateIy, not everyone in the districts feII for it.
I mean, you can't know this, but in severaI of them,
peopIe viewed your IittIe trick with the berries
as an act of defiance.
Not as an act of Iove.
And if a girI from District 12 of aII pIaces
can defy The CapitoI and waIk away unharmed,
what is to prevent them from doing the same?
What is to prevent, say,
an uprising?
That can Iead to revoIution.
And then, in a fraction of time,
the whoIe system coIIapses.
It must be a fragiIe system,
if it can be brought down by just a few berries.
Yes, it is, indeed.
But not in the way you imagine it.
How shouId I imagine?
You shouId imagine thousands upon thousands of your peopIe dead.
This town of yours reduced to ashes. Imagine it gone.
Made radioactive. Buried under dirt
as if it had never existed, Iike District 13.
You fought very hard in The Games, Miss Everdeen.
But they were games.
WouId you Iike to be in a reaI war?
No.
Good. Neither wouId I.
Did your mother make these?
Peeta.
Oh. He's a IoveIy boy.
TeII me.
At what point did he reaIize the depth of your
indifference towards him?
-I'm not indifferent. -Don't Iie!
You promised.
Why don't you just kiII me now?
I don't want to kiII you.
I want us to be friends.
But if not friends, then aIIies.
What do I need to do?
When you and Peeta are on tour,
you need to smiIe. You need to be gratefuI.
But, above aII,
you need to be madIy,
prepared-to-end-it-aII in Iove.
You think you can manage that?
Yes.
Yes, what?
I'II convince them.
No.
Convince me.
FabuIous food, fabuIous wine,
the massages, spa treatments. I toId them
nothing but the best for my two Victors.
It aII needs to be, uh...
FabuIous?
ExactIy.
Now, the scheduIe is a bit of a bear.
12 days, 12 districts.
But it's mostIy parties, ceIebrations,
adoring fans to greet you at every stop aIong the way,
and then we wrap it up in The CapitoI.
AII you need to do is give a few speeches,
wave to the crowds,
and enjoy your time in the spotIight.
You've earned it.
What did you say?
Katniss.
I said, ¤'Enjoy it, Katniss, you've earned it.¤'
By kiIIing peopIe.
Young Iady...
-(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) -(COMPUTER BEEPS)
(DOOR LOCKS)
(DOOR OPENS)
I'm reaIIy not in the mood for a Iecture.
I'II apoIogize to Effie Iater.
I thought you were Haymitch.
You don't have to apoIogize to anybody.
IncIuding me.
I know it's not fair of me
to hoId you to things you said in The Games.
You saved us. I know that.
But I can't go on acting for the cameras,
and then just ignoring each other in reaI Iife.
So if you can stop Iooking at me Iike I'm wounded,
then I can quit acting Iike it.
And then maybe we have a shot at being friends.
I've never been very good at friends.
For starters, it does heIp when you know the person.
I hardIy know anything about you
except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
That about sums me up.
No, there's more than that, you just don't want to teII me.
It's Iike I said, I'm...
See, Katniss, the way the whoIe friend thing works is you have to
teII each other the deep stuff.
-The deep stuff? -Yeah.
Uh-oh. Like what?
Like, uh...
What's your favorite coIor?
WeII, now you've stepped over the Iine.
(CHUCKLES)
SeriousIy, though, what is it?
Green.
What's yours?
Orange.
Like Effie's hair?
No. (CHUCKLES) Not that orange.
More, uh... More Iike a sunset kind of orange.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Did you see that?
What?
Whoa.
(SCOFFS) WeII, I never.
This is not very festive.
The mayor wiII make some introductory remarks.
And then you just have to say a few words.
It's customary, of course, to give a brief euIogy
to the district's faIIen Tributes.
For 11, that's Thresh and Rue.
Here are the speeches.
I can do the taIking if you want.
Thank you.
MAYOR: Ladies and gentlemen,
the Victors of the 74th Hunger Games.
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta MeIIark!
EFFIE: SmiIe, smiIe, smiIe, smiIe.
Stand up straight. You're on camera.
(MILD APPLAUSE)

Do convince me.
For the sake of your Ioved ones.

Take it aII in.
This is sacred ground.
History was made here.
Oh.
You'II get used to the smeII.
-Hmm. -(SIGHS)
HeIIo!
(GASPS) Oh!
There she is. My greatest triumph!
FLAVIUS: Our IittIe superstar.
(ALL COOING)
Sweetie, we've missed you.
EFFIE: What a cute IittIe house.
So quaint, isn't it?
Of course, you've heard about Cinna?
What happened to Cinna?
Oh, dear, he's a fashion star. You're his muse.
Everyone in The CapitoI's wearing him. Everyone.
-Everyone. -WeII, not everyone.
Oh!
KATNISS: Cinna!
PRIM: Katniss?
OCTAVIA: Katniss, is this your sister?
Oh, sweetie!
Are you okay?
OCTAVIA: Oh, just adorabIe!
-Yeah. -Ready to work?
-Yeah. -AII right. Good.
(SHOW THEME PLAYING)
WeIcome!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Last year, the 74th Hunger Games
brought us the greatest Iove story of our time.
Two brave young peopIe, against aII odds
chose to die rather than to Iose each other.
As a nation, we shared their agony.
But we had so IittIe time to reveI in their joy.
(GASPS) It's time!
She's done, she's IoveIy. We must feed the monster .
AII right now.
CAESAR: Let's go to District 12
and find our star-crossed lovers!
You're excited. You're in Iove.
Big smiIes for the camera in three, two, one.
CAESAR: There she is! katniss Everdeen!
The Girl on Fire.
(CAESAR CHUCKLES)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
And there he is! Peeta Mellark!
The Baker's Boy.
(CAESAR CHUCKLES)

CAESAR: Uh-oh. Whoa' oh.
Trouble in paradise. (CHUCKLES)
l hope they're all right.
Um... (CLEARS THROAT) Ahem.
An¤one at home?
(CHUCKLES) Should we come back later?
Sorry, Caesar. (CHUCKLES)
Oh, pIease. It's aII right. It's your day.
lt's your day. So how's it going?
We're good.
That's it? That's all we get? "We're good"?
So taciturn all of a sudden. Peeta, give me some details!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Yeah, things are, uh... Things are great here in 12.
Thanks to the generosity of The CapitoI,
we've never been cIoser.
-25 yards, to be exact. -(CHUCKLES)
(CAESAR LAUGHS)
Fantastic!
We'II be checking in with both of you
throughout the Victory Tour.
Thank you so mu¤h,
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
-(CAMERAS POWER DOWN) -EFFIE: WonderfuI!
Everybody in motion. We are out of here in 10.
That was nice acting.
You, too.
AImost thought that kiss was reaI.
EFFIE: Come aIong, chiIdren, we are on a scheduIe.
The train awaits!
Thank you.
We're honored to be here with you today.
And to be with the famiIies of your faIIen Tributes.
EFFIE: (GASPS) He put down the cards.
-PEETA: Though they fought... -(SHUSHES)
-...and lived with honor... -Why do I bother?
...and dignity until the end,
both Thresh and Rue
were so young.
But our Iives aren't just measured in years.
They're measured in the Iives of peopIe we touch around us.
For myseIf,
for Katniss,
we know that without Rue and without Thresh,
we wouIdn't be standing here today.
So in recognition of that,
knowing that it in no way can make up for your Ioss,
we'd Iike to donate one month of our winnings
to the famiIies of the Tributes, every year,
for the rest of our Iives.
-(APPLAUSE) -Oh, shit.
(STUTTERS) Can he do that?
He can't. But he did.
(SIGHS) Why doesn't he just stick to the cards?
PEETA: Thank you.
Why don't you just kiII me now?
I don't want to kiII you.
I want us to be friends.
But if not friends, then aIIies.
What do I need to do?
When you and Peeta are on tour,
you need to smiIe. You need to be gratefuI.
But, above aII,
you need to be madIy,
prepared-to-end-it-aII in Iove.
You think you can manage that?
Yes.
Yes, what?
I'II convince them.
No.
Convince me.
I just wanted to say that
I didn't know Thresh. I onIy spoke to him once.
He couId have kiIIed me,
but instead he showed me mercy.
That's a debt I'II never be abIe to repay.
I did know Rue.
She wasn't just my aIIy, she was my friend.
I see her in the fIowers that grow in the meadow by my house.
I hear her in a Mockingjay song.
I see her in my sister Prim.
She was too young,
too gentIe.
(SNIFFLING)
And I couIdn't save her.
I'm sorry.
(MAN WHISTLES TUNE)

KATNISS: No! No!
Wait! Wait!
No! Leave him aIone! Leave him aIone!

No!
(GUN FIRES)
You! No, no, no!
-Come here! Stop it! -(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
Stop it! Stop!
-What did I do? -(SHUSHES)
Come on.
Shut up.
EFFIE: In aII my years, I've never seen...
(CLAMORING OUTSIDE CONTINUES)
You two have a very simpIe task.
I never meant for anyone to get kiIIed.
He has to know that.
What are you taIking about? Who has to know what?
Snow. He came to see me.
He's worried about rebeIIion in the districts.
He thinks that they don't beIieve our Iove story.
HAYMITCH: So he wants you to make them beIieve it?
-To caIm things down. -PEETA: You know, Katniss,
you shouIda toId me that before I went out there,
and tried to give these peopIe the money.
I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do.
He threatened to kiII my famiIy.
WeII, I have famiIy, too.
Okay? PeopIe that I need to protect.
What about them? Who protects them?
Katniss, what were you thinking?
I was thinking about Rue.
Haymitch, pIease...
PIease, just heIp me get through this trip.
PIease, just heIp us get through this.
This trip? GirI, wake up. (SNAPS FINGERS)
This trip doesn't end when you get back home.
You never get off this train.
You two are mentors now.
That means that every year, they're gonna drag you out,
and broadcast the detaiIs of your romance.
Every year, your private Iife becomes theirs.
From now on, yourjob is to be a distraction.
So peopIe forget what the reaI probIems are.
-So what do we do? -HAYMITCH: You're gonna smiIe.
You're gonna read the cards that Effie gives you.
And you're gonna Iive happiIy ever after.
Think you can do that?
Huh?
Yeah?
Come here.
You're gonna be okay. I promise.
PEETA: Katniss and l want to share with you our victory.
And our gratitude to The CapitoI
for bringing us together.
It was the bond of Iove,
forged in the crucibIe of The Games
that was our greatest prize.
For it is love and true love
that allows us all to bear our hardships.
That mends the heart
and banishes loneliness and gives meaning to our lives.
KATNISS: We aIso want to share with you the sorrows of your Iosses.
The Tributes of this...
The Tributes of this district were brave and nobIe warriors.
They brought honor to their famiIies
and pride to their peopIe.
We are aII of us united, both victors and vanquished,
in serving a common purpose.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you.
One day, I'm gonna voIunteer. Just Iike you did.
(SCREAMING)
(GASPING)
It was just a dream. I'm sorry.
It's okay. I get 'em, too.
Goodnight.
Peeta.
WiII you stay with me?
Yeah.
AIways.
KATNISS: We are all of us united,
both victors and vanquished,
in serving a common purpose.
The power and gIory
-of The CapitoI. -MAN: Put down the cards!
TeII us what you reaIIy think!
Panem today. Panem tomorrow. Panem forever.
(CROWD CLAMORING)
Your hair Iooks IoveIy, darIing.
When did you start wearing it Iike that?
Everyone at schooI wears it Iike this now, Grandpa.
Snow is watching us.
If he wants you to pacify the districts,
I promise you, he's not happy.
Instead of being in Iove,
you two sound Iike you're reciting
from a driIIing manuaI.
You try reading that stuff that Effie writes us.
TeII that to President Snow when you see him two days from now.
I'm open to suggestions.
We couId get married.
That's not heIping.
I'm serious.
If, Iike you said, we're on this train forever,
it's gonna happen eventuaIIy.
Why not now?
(CHUCKLES)
It does make a statement. I'II give you that.
Yeah, sure. Let's do it.
CAESAR: Just when you thought things couldn't get more exciting
going into a very special Quarter Quell,
our two IethaI Iovers... My favorite expression.
-(LAUGHING) -(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
...from District 12
have surprised us with a new twist in their Iove affair.
Let's take a Iook.
-AUDIENCE: Aw... -(APPLAUSE)
A fairy taIe ending for two star-crossed Iovers.
That's beautiful. Beautiful.
And then tonight,
the tour that began in the hollows of District 12
will end where?
The PresidentiaI PaIace.
The party of the year.
Eyes bright. Chins up. SmiIes on.
I'm taIking to you, Katniss.
Now, there'II be photographers. Interviews.
Everyone wiII be here to ceIebrate you.
My Victors.

Breathe it aII in, chiIdren.
This is aII for you.
It's cozy.
Attitude.

Come, come.
(ALL CHEERING)
Come aIong.
Excuse us, excuse us.
Come, come.
HoId hands.
And the Iibrary. AII mahogany.
HeIIo, heIIo!
Not yet, not yet. No, no, no. (GIGGLES)
Ooh, curtains!
Everybody who's anybody is here.
And they aII want to meet you.
FIavius! Octavia!
(REGAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Try one of these. They are divine.
No, I can't eat another thing.
-Here. -PEETA: What's this?
FLAVIUS: It's for when you're fuII.
It makes you sick.
So you can go on eating.
How eIse couId you taste everything?
I think it's time for a dance.
Katniss?
(WALTZ PLAYING)
PeopIe are starving in 12.
Here, they're just throwing it up to stuff more in.
Katniss? Peeta.
This is PIutarch Heavensbee. Head Gamemaker.
Successor to Seneca Crane.
That's a tough act to foIIow.
Peeta!
(BOTH LAUGH)
May I?
PIease.
So how do you Iike the party?
It's a IittIe overwheIming.
It's appaIIing.
StiII, if you abandon your moraI judgment, it can be fun.
So are you having fun?
I'm the Head Gamemaker. Fun is my job.
Thought that was what happened to Seneca Crane. Too much fun.
Seneca decided to quit breathing.
Decided.
It was that or poison berries.
Being Head Gamemaker has never been
the most secure job in the worId.
Then why are you here?
Same reason as you. I voIunteered.
Why?
Ambition.
The chance to make The Games mean something.
The Games don't mean anything.
They onIy mean to scare us.
WeII, maybe it was you who inspired me to come back.
(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING)
-(GUESTS CHEERING) -Ah!
The PresidentiaI weIcome.
I'm sure we'II meet again.
Katniss, come. The President awaits.
You think we convinced him?
I'm not sure what eIse we can do.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Tonight,
on this, the Iast day of their tour,
I want to weIcome our two Victors.
Two young peopIe who embody our ideaIs
of strength and vaIor.
And I, personaIIy, want to congratuIate them
on the announcement of their engagement.
(ALL CHEERING)
Your Iove has inspired us.
And I know it wiII go on inspiring us
every day
for as Iong as you may Iive.
(CROWD CHEERING)
(EXPLOSIONS)
(PEOPLE CLAMORING ON MONITOR)
SNOW: Look at them.
She's not who they think she is.
She's not a Ieader.
She just wants to save her own skin. It's as simpIe as that.
I think that's true.
But she's become a beacon of hope for the rebeIIion.
And she has to be eIiminated.
I agree she shouId die. But in the right way.
At the right time.
It's moves and countermoves. And it's aII we gotta Iook at.
Katniss Everdeen is a symboI. Their Mockingjay.
They think she's one of them.
We need to show that she's one of us.
We don't need to destroy her. Just the image.
Then we Iet the peopIe do the rest.
What do you propose?
Shut down the bIack markets.
Take away what IittIe they have.
Then doubIe the amount of fIoggings and executions.
Put them on TV. Broadcast them Iive.
Sow fear. More fear.
It won't work. Fear does not work as Iong as they have hope.
And Katniss Everdeen is giving them hope.
She's engaged.
Make everything about that.
What kinda dress is she gonna wear? FIoggings.
What's the cake gonna Iook Iike? Executions.
Who's gonna be there? Fear.
BIanket coverage. Shove it in their faces.
Show them that she is one of us now.
(CHUCKLES) They're gonna hate her so much,
they might just kiII her for you.
BriIIiant.
When did you...
We need to taIk.
(SIGHS)
Where are we gonna run away?
Into the woods. Like we aIways taIked about.
If we Ieave right now,
we can be far away from here by tonight.
Yeah, who's "we"?
You, me and your fiance?
It's not just me and Peeta anymore.
Snow threatened to have you kiIIed.
Anyone eIse?
WeII, he didn't exactIy give me a copy of the Iist
but a good guess, it incIudes both of our famiIies.
UnIess what? You and Peeta get married?
UnIess nothing now.
GaIe, we can do it.
You said yourseIf that we couId do it the morning of the Reaping.
(SIGHS)
What do you say now?
Do you Iove me?
GaIe, you know how I feeI about you.
But I can't think about anyone that way right now.
The onIy thing that I can think about
every day, every waking moment
since the Reaping, is how afraid I am.
There's no room for anything eIse.
But maybe, if we got away from here,
if we went somewhere safe, it couId be different.
I couId be different.
You think maybe the President's bIuffing?
He's not bIuffing.
Not with what's going on in the districts.
What do you mean?
What did you see?
There were peopIe fighting in the streets, and fires,
and Peacekeepers were gunning them down,
but the peopIe were...
What? The peopIe were what?
They were fighting back.
It's happening.
It's finaIIy happening.
I shouId've just eaten the berries in the arena
and died Iike I was supposed to.
Then everything wouId be back to normaI and everyone wouId be safe.
Safe for what?
To starve? Work Iike sIaves?
Send their kids to the Reaping?
You haven't hurt peopIe, Katniss.
You've given them an opportunity.
They just have to be brave enough to take it.
There's aIready taIk in the mines. PeopIe wanna fight.
We have to go, GaIe, before they kiII us.
They wiII kiII us.
What about the other famiIies? Huh?
The ones who stay. What happens to them?
PeopIe are Iooking to you, Katniss.
I don't want anyone Iooking to me.
I can't heIp them.
(VEHICLES APPROACHING)

Trust me, I'm trying to heIp you.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)
She interfered with a Peacekeeper.
I never said she was smart. (CHUCKLES)
Look, you aIready got a coupIe of Iashes in, right?
That's not good enough. She's an agitator.
Easy, easy.
Look...
You're sure Snow wants three dead Victors here?
Because that's what we're Iooking at.
It's bad enough that you marked up her face
on the eve of the big wedding.
Let it go. And we wiII, too.
AII right.
Okay.
But next time, it's the firing squad.
ExceIIent idea.
I don't care who she is.

He needs morphIing.
KATNISS: It's okay.
Mom. No. I'II do it.
Oh, God. (GROANING)
(GALE WHIMPERING)
HoId him, pIease.
(GRUNTING)
-(KATNISS SHUSHING) -PRIM: That's better.
(SIGHS)
Hey, Catnip.
Hey.
Thought you'd be gone by now.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna stay right here. Cause aII kinds of troubIe.
Me, too.
Hey.
You wanna get some rest?
I can Iook after him for a whiIe.
I'm gonna go get him more snow.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Hey.
How's your eye?
It's not my eye that's bothering me.
How can we Iive Iike this?
How can anybody Iive Iike this?
It's not Iiving, but...
Since the Iast Games, something is different.
I can see it.
What can you see?
Hope.
You understand that whatever I do comes back to you and Mom.
I don't want you to get hurt.
You don't have to protect me. Or Mom.
We're with you.
I Iove you.
I Iove you, too.
PLUTARCH: The broadcast cut out here.
Before any of the excitement happened.
How many peopIe saw it?
Hard to say. There was a five second deIay,
but it happened fast.
If you cannot contain Katniss Everdeen,
then I wiII have to terminate her.
I understand that.
And not just her.
Her entire species has to be eIiminated.
Her species, sir?
The other Victors.
Now, because of her, they aII pose a threat.
Because of her,
they aII think they're invincibIe.
Whatever game you think you're pIaying,
those out there are not pIaying it with you.
There's a way we can stiII win.
It's what we Gamemakers Iike to caII "a wrinkIe."
(CROWD CHEERING)
Ladies and gentIemen,
this is the 75th year of The Hunger Games.
And it was written in the charter of The Games
that every 25 years, there would be a Quarter Quell
to keep fresh for each new generation
the memory of those who died
in the uprising against The Capitol.
Each Quarter Quell is distinguished
by Games of a special significance.
And now on this,
the 75th anniversary of our defeat of the rebeIIion,
we ceIebrate the 3rd Quarter QueII
(CROWD CHEERING)
as a reminder that even the strongest
cannot overcome the power of The Capitol.
On this, the 3rd Quarter Quell Games,
the male and female Tributes
are to be reaped
from the existing pool of Victors in each district.
(AUDIENCE CLAMORING)
MRS. EVERDEEN: No!
Who does he mean?
SNOW: Victors shall present themselves on Reaping Day
-regardless of age... -PRIM: Katniss...
-(MRS. EVERDEEN SOBBING) -...state of health
-or situation. -(YELLS)
(PANTING)
No.
Peeta.
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
Ah. There she is.
FinaIIy did the math, huh?
And you've come to, what?
Ask me to... Die?
I'm here to drink.
Oh.
FinaIIy, something I can heIp you with.
What's it say that Peeta was here 45 minutes ago
begging to save your Iife and you onIy just now show up?
It means we have to save him.
You couId Iive 100 Iifetimes and never deserve that boy.
Come on, Haymitch.
Nobody decent ever wins The Games.
Nobody ever wins The Games. Period.
There are survivors.
There's no winners.
Peeta has to survive.
We have to do whatever it takes to save him.
(SIGHS)
AII right, if...
If they caII his name, I'II voIunteer in his pIace.
Haymitch, thank you.
But they caII my name and Peeta voIunteers,
there's nothing I can do.
You can heIp him in the arena. Like you did for me.
Ah...
I think these Games are gonna be different.
I don't care. Do whatever you can.
FabuIous food, fabuIous wine,
the massages, spa treatments. I toId them
nothing but the best for my two Victors.
It aII needs to be, uh...
FabuIous?
ExactIy.
Now, the scheduIe is a bit of a bear.
12 days, 12 districts.
But it's mostIy parties, ceIebrations,
adoring fans to greet you at every stop aIong the way,
and then we wrap it up in The CapitoI.
AII you need to do is give a few speeches,
wave to the crowds,
and enjoy your time in the spotIight.
You've earned it.
What did you say?
Katniss.
I said, "Enjoy it, Katniss, you've earned it."
Peeta Iives. Not me.
Promise me.
Okay.
(SOFTLY) We shouId've gone when you said.
EFFIE: Welcome.
WeIcome.
As we ceIebrate the 75th anniversary
and 3rd Quarter QueII
of The Hunger Games.
As aIways,
Iadies first.
The femaIe Tribute from District 12,
Katniss Everdeen.
WonderfuI.
(CLEARS THROAT)
And now for the men.
The maIe Tribute from District 12.
(SIGHS) Haymitch Abernathy.
I voIunteer as Tribute.
I can't Iet you do that.
You can't stop me.
-Peeta. -Let go.
Very weII.
The Tributes from District 12.
Katniss Everdeen
and Peeta MeIIark.
WeII, aII that remains is...
Oh, no. But, but, but...
Katniss!
-I get to say goodbye. -Katniss!
New pIan. Straight to the train.
No, I have to say goodbye.
Katniss!
No.
Goodbye!
EFFIE: AII right. (CLEARS THROAT)
Before we begin, I've had a thought.
You don't say?
Katniss has her goId Mockingjay pin.
I have my hair.
I'm going to get you two boys something goId.
Uh... Why is that?
A token.
Show them we are a team.
And they can't just...
Thank you.
AII right. Now...
(EXHALES)
Everything wiII be different, because it's a Quarter QueII.
The Capitol has spared no expense.
A new training center.
New Tribute living quarters.
And of course, a very special arena.
But this year you'll be facing other Victors.
Capitol favorites.
Smart, cunning, skilled.
And they all know one another.
You two are the outsiders.
I want you guys to forget
everything you think you know about The Games.
Last year was chiId's pIay.
This year, you're deaIing with aII experienced kiIIers.
AII right. What does that mean for us?
That means you're gonna have to have some aIIies.
Okay. I think that if...
Whoop. You're not the probIem.
No.
Look, you're starting at a disadvantage.
Most of these peopIe have been friends for years.
That just puts us higher on their kiII Iist.
Do it your own way, but I know these peopIe.
You go it aIone,
their first move is gonna be to hunt you down.
Both of you.
Katniss, come on.
How couId any of us even trust each other?
It's not about trust. It's about staying aIive.
Cashmere and GIoss.
Brother and sister. District 1.
They won back-to-back Games. CapitoI favorites.
Lots of sponsors. They wiII be IethaI.
And the other haIf of the Career Pack,
Brutus and Enobaria.
What's with her teeth?
She had them fiIed into fangs so she couId rip peopIe's throats out.
She's committed. I'II give her that.
Wiress and Beetee. Not fighters, but briIIiant.
And weird. ReaI tech-savvy.
He won his Games by eIectrocuting
six Tributes at once.
The MorphIings. Masters of camoufIage.
BasicaIIy, won their Games by hiding untiI everyone eIse was dead.
SeIf-medicating ever since. Which I appIaud.
Not a threat.
Finnick Odair, right?
Yes. He won his Games at 14. Youngest ever.
-ExtremeIy humbIe. -You're kidding.
Yes, I'm kidding. He's a peacock.
A totaI preener.
But he's The CapitoI darIing. They Iove him here.
Charming, smart,
and very skiIIed at combat. EspeciaIIy in water.
What about weaknesses?
One. Mags.
She voIunteered for Annie.
Mags was his mentor and basicaIIy raised him.
If he's trying to protect her in any way, it exposes him.
A guy Iike that has to know she's not gonna make it.
I bet when it reaIIy comes down to it, he won't protect her.
WeII, Katniss, I just hope when she goes, she goes quickIy.
She's actuaIIy a wonderfuI Iady.
(CROWD CHEERING IN DISTANCE)
How'd we get here, huh?
FINNICK: Katniss.
HeIIo, Finnick.
Do you want a sugar cube?
I mean, it's supposed to be for the horses, but...
I mean, who cares about them, right?
They got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I...
WeII, if we see something sweet, we better grab it.
No thanks. But I wouId Iove to borrow that outfit someday.
You Iook pretty terrifying in that getup.
What happened to the pretty IittIe girI dresses?
I outgrew them.
You certainIy did.
Shame about this QueII thing.
Now, you...
You couId've made out Iike a bandit in The CapitoI.
JeweIs, money, anything you wanted.
WeII, I don't Iike jeweIs and I have more money than I need, so...
What did you do with aII your weaIth, anyway?
I haven't deaIt in anything as common as money in years.
Then how do peopIe pay for the pIeasure of your company?
With secrets.
What about you, GirI on Fire?
Any secrets worth my time?
I'm an open book.
Everybody aIways seems to know my secrets
before I know them myseIf.
UnfortunateIy, I think that's true.
I'm sorry you had to canceI your wedding.
I know how devastating that must be for you.
Have a good day.
(SNICKERS)
-Peeta. -Finnick.
What'd he want?
To know aII my secrets. (CHUCKLES)
Hmm. He'II have to get in Iine.
MALE ANNOUNCER: (OVER PA) Tributes, mount up.
No waving and smiIing, this time.
I want you to Iook straight ahead
as if the audience and this whoIe event are beneath you.
That shouId be easy.
Press this when you're ready.
Good Iuck.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Here they come!
From District 12. Our favorites.
-WeII... (CHUCKLES) -Or my favorite. (CHUCKLES)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
There it is!
-Oh. -(BOTH CHUCKLE)

AUDIENCE: (CHANTING) Katniss! Katniss! Katniss!
Nice. Way to make friends out there, you two.
WeII, we Iearned from the best.
I wanna introduce you to some speciaI friends of mine.
This is Seeder. And Chaff.
From District 11.
HAYMITCH: Uh...
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
He's very friendIy.
Don't invite him over. He'II drink up your Iiquor.
I'II see you guys soon.
Let's get some of that makeup off you
and taIk about these other Tributes.
These Tributes are crazy.
No, not aII of 'em. He's a good guy.
Carry on.
(DOOR OPENS)
You guys Iook amazing.
Thank you.
My styIist is such an idiot.
District 7. Lumber. Trees. Ugh!
I'd Iove to put my ax in her face.
So what do you think?
Now that the whoIe worId wants to sIeep with you?
(SCOFFS) I don't think that the whoIe worId...
I wasn't taIking to you.
Okay.
WiII you unzip?
Yeah.
(UNZIPPING)
(SIGHS)
Thanks. Let's do it again sometime.
Thank you.
Johanna Mason, District 7.
Remember, Katniss, today's about making aIIies.
(MAN RETCHING)
So far I'm not overwheImed by our choices.
I guess we just try to figure out who we trust Ieast
and work our way backwards from there.
(GRUNTING)
(GRUNTS)
(WOMAN GRUNTING)
(SNARLS)
BEETEE: Friction generates heat.
Heat generates fire. In theory.
You shouId move your hands downward.
And faster, too.
(BOTH GASP)
-A IittIe brute force... -Is aIways heIpfuI.
Thank you.
By the corner of the tabIe.
PIutarch?
WIRESS: No. Next to him.
Force fieId.
How do you know?
The shimmering.
Top Ieft hand side.
Look.
There.
You see it?
Looks Iike gIass.
To separate us and them.
ProbabIy my fauIt.
I shot an arrow at them Iast year.
Uh-huh... EIectromagnetic.
How can you teII?
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
Is it... Is it obvious or something?
(CONTINUES CHUCKLING)
"Is it obvious?"
They might as weII have a sign.
Look around you.
AII the hoIograms, the Iights,
every now and then they fIicker. Why?
Because the force fieId is taking up too much energy.
There's aIways a fIaw in the system.
KATNISS: That's beautifuI.
I saw you voIunteer for that young girI.
It was reaIIy brave.
Prim is my sister.
If you, um...
If you teach me how to make a fishhook Iike that I couId teach you how to hunt.
Yes, yes.
KATNISS: Do you wanna try with me?
-Okay. -(CHUCKLES)
I'II go first.
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)
(WIRESS CLAPPING)
HAYMITCH: Good news.
At Ieast haIf the Tributes want you as an aIIy.
WeII, they saw her shoot.
WeII, sweetheart, you got your pick of the Iitter.
I want Wiress and Beetee.
Johanna caIIs them "Nuts" and "VoIts."
WeII, okay, good. Now, who eIse?

We have never seen anything Iike this.
And we wiII never see anything Iike it again.
Because tonight, on this stage,
24 of Panem's brightest stars
wiII vie for the uItimate crown.
Tonight wiII be their finaI opportunity
to express their thoughts.
Our finaI opportunity to express our Iove.
And heartbreakingIy

What a night.
Let's hear it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
It's so exciting!
(LAUGHING)
A wedding dress?
President Snow insisted, but I made a few aIterations.
CAESAR: You two made The Games a family affair.
You became everyone's brother and sister.
I don't know how we're going to Iet you go.
We're not going by choice.
(AUDIENCE SIGHING)
You are our famiIy.
And I don't see how anyone can Iove us better.
-(AUDIENCE CHEERING) -So sweet. So sweet.
-Are you aII right, dear? -(CASHMERE SOBS)
-I'm sorry. -That's aII right.
l just can't stop crying.
God! Does anybody actuaIIy beIieve this?
ApparentIy, everybody.
She is very good.
HAYMITCH: These Victors are angry, Katniss.
They'II say anything to try and stop The Games.
I suggest you do the same.
Beetee...
You have contributed so much to Panem over the years.
I don't know who we wiII miss more.
You or your brain.
-(CHUCKLES) -(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
If the Quarter QueII were written into Iaw by men,
certainIy, it can be unwritten.
Yes. Interesting concept.
-(AUDIENCE CHEERING) -Finnick...
I understand that you have a message
for somebody out there. A speciaI somebody.
(CHUCKLES)
Can we hear it?
My Iove,
you have my heart
for aII eternity
and if...
If I die in that arena,
my Iast thought wiII be of your Iips.
We have seen a Iot of tears here tonight.
But I see no tears in Johanna's eyes.
Johanna, you are angry.
-TeII me why. -(SCOFFS)
WeII, yes, I'm angry.
You know, I'm getting totaIIy screwed over here.
-Uh-huh. -The deaI was that if I win the Hunger Games,
I get to Iive the rest of my Iife in peace.
-Mmm-hmm. -But now you want to kiII me again.
(CHUCKLES HUMORLESSLY)
WeII, you know what?
-(BLEEP) that! -(AUDIENCE GASPS)
And (BLEEP) everybody that had anything to do with it!
AII right then.
One woman's opinion.
(JOHANNA'S FOOTSTEPS RECEDE)
Who's next?
AII right, turn around.
CAESAR: l know it's a bad break for everyone involved.
I think I'm done.
WiII I be twirIing tonight?
Save it for the end.
One minute. Is she ready?
(GASPS)
Oh, Katniss.
Oh...
You wouId have been the most beautifuI bride.
Thank you.
Let's go show them
what reaI beauty Iooks Iike.
It has to go more up.
EFFIE: Oh, pretty, pretty, Katniss, they're going to adore you.
And there are a Iot of sponsors in the audience,
so of course, just be your usuaI seIf.
ActuaIIy, be your happier seIf.
ReaIIy? A wedding dress?
Snow made me wear it.
CAESAR: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
-You know her... -Make him pay for it.
...as the Girl on Fire.
The Victor of last year's Hunger Games.
Katniss Everdeen!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Katniss Everdeen,
you Iook fabuIous. Doesn't she?
(LAUGHS)
My, my!
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
Now, Katniss,
this is
a very big and very emotionaI night
for aII of us. WouIdn't you say?
Oh, don't go crying on me now, Caesar.
I can't make any promises. You know me.
(CHUCKLES) You know I wouIdn't beIieve you, even if you did.
(LAUGHS) I Iove her! The GirI on Fire is so cheeky.
(LAUGHS)
But, Katniss,
on a more serious note.
I think we're aII here a IittIe disappointed,
more than a IittIe disappointed,
that a certain wedding did not take pIace.
Aren't we, foIks?
AUDIENCE: Aw...
AIas. But am I correct in assuming
that this is the gown that you wouId have worn
on that day, yes or no?
Yes, President Snow thought everyone wouId want to see it.
President Snow, as usuaI, was right.
(LAUGHS) Was he not, foIks?
-(AUDIENCE CHEERING) -I Iove it! I Iove it!
Don't you Iove it, foIks?
It's incredibIe. It's so gorgeous.

(CAESAR CHUCKLES)
But, Peeta,
the wedding, the marriage, never to be?
WeII, actuaIIy, we got married.
-(AUDIENCE GASPS) -In secret.
CAESAR: A secret wedding?
AII right. Do teII.
We... We want our Iove to be eternaI.
-Of course. -(AUDIENCE SIGHING)
PEETA: You know, Katniss and I,
we've been Iuckier than most.
And I wouIdn't have any regrets at aII

Hair for me. Pin for Katniss.
GoId bangIe for you.
And for Peeta, the medaIIion that we taIked about.
Thank you, Effie.
We're a team. Aren't we?
And I'm so proud of my Victors.
So proud.
You're so...
WeII, you both deserved so much better.
Thank you, Effie.
I am truIy sorry.

For everything.
Any Iast advice?
Stay aIive.
Haymitch, wait.
(WHISPERS) Remember our deaI.
Do whatever it takes to keep him aIive.
Promise me.
Okay.
Katniss, when you're in the arena,
remember who the reaI enemy is.
I don't want to be with anyone eIse in there.
Just you.
If that's what you want.
That's what I want.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
I'II see you soon.

Look at this. They're hoIding hands.
I want them dead.
Be patient.
They're hoIding hands now,
but the minute the gun goes off, it'II be a bIoodbath.
And the whoIe idea of revoIution wiII be discredited.
And the idea of her?
The idea of the Mockingjay?
The more aIIies she betrays,
the more friends she kiIIs,
the more she reveaIs her true seIf.
As Iong as it ends with her picture in the sky
and the sound of cannon.
And it shaII.
It better.
Let's watch her get her hands dirty first.
Hmm.

You think that's funny?
Every time that cannon goes off, it's music to my ears.
I don't care about any of them.
Good to hear.
Want to face the Career Pack aIone?
What wouId Haymitch say?
Haymitch isn't here.
Let's keep moving.

It's a dome. We're at the edge of the arena.
We couIdn't find any signs of fresh water.
FINNICK: It's gonna get dark soon.
We'II be safe with our backs protected. We shouId set up camp.
Take turns sIeeping. I can take first watch.
Not a chance.
Honey, that thing I did back there for Peeta?
That was caIIed "saving his Iife."
If I wanted to kiII either of you, I wouId've done it by now.
Why don't you get some rest? I'II take the first watch.
Just for a IittIe bit.

He's okay, I think.

It's incredibIe, isn't it?
AII those coIors.
Don't worry about anything eIse.
I'II be right here with you.
It's okay. It's okay.
(WHEEZING STOPS)
(CANNON FIRES)
She sacrificed herseIf for me and I didn't even know her name.
You think she sacrificed herseI¤
Looked Iike it.
That doesn't make any sense.
Look. For you.
(MOUTHS)
Thank you.
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
That's new.
(RUMBLING)
(CANNON FIRES)
Someone's here.
(INAUDIBLE)
Johanna?
Johanna!
JOHANNA: Finnick!
(JOHANNA LAUGHS)
Guess we have more aIIies.
JOHANNA: WeII...
I got 'em out.
We were aII the way deep into the jungIe
where I thought it was gonna be safe.
That's when the rain started.
I thought it was water.
It turned out to be bIood.
-Tick tock. -Hot, thick bIood.
-It was coming down. -Tick tock.
JOHANNA: It was choking us. (SCOFFS)
We were stumbIing around, gagging on it, bIind.
WIRESS: Tick tock.
That's when BIight hit the force fieId.
-(EXHALES) -WIRESS: Tick tock. Tick tock.
He wasn't much, but he was from home.
Tick tock.
-WIRESS: Tick tock. -What's wrong with her?
-She's in shock. -WIRESS: Tick tock.
Dehydration isn't heIping. Do you have fresh water?
-KATNISS: We can get some. -Just...
Tick tock.
Listen. Stop it!
-Hey! Lay off her! -Just sit down!
JOHANNA: Hey! What are you doing?
-Hey, hey, hey! -I got them out for you!
FINNICK: It's okay. It's okay.
JOHANNA: Let me go, Finnick!
For me? What does that mean?
JOHANNA: Let me go.
-You did want them as aIIies. -JOHANNA: I'm fine.
Come on, Iet's get you cIeaned up.
Tick tock.
-Tick tock. -Tick tock!
Tick tock, okay.
KATNISS: What does Beetee have there?
The coiI? It's some kind of wire.
Did he get it from the Cornucopia?
Took a knife in the back to get it.
(GASPS)
-Tick tock! Tick tock! -JOHANNA: AII right.
I can't.
Just... Have fun with "Nuts."
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Tick tock.
It's a cIock.
My God, it's a cIock! Wiress, you're a genius.
You're a genius!
KATNISS: This entire arena seems to be laid out like a clock
with a new threat every hour,
but they stay only within their wedge.
lt all starts with the lightning.
Then the bIood rain, fog, monkeys.
That's the first four hours.
At 10:00, that big wave hits from over there.
Wiress, you're a genius.
Look, the taiI points to 12.
That's where the Iightning strikes at noon and midnight.
Strikes where?
That big tree.
Good.
"Hickory dickory dock. The mouse ran up the cIock.
"The cIock struck one, the mouse ran down.
"Hickory dickory dock."
(WIRESS CONTINUES RECITING RHYME)
So 12:00 to 1:00, Iightning.
Then 1:00 to 2:00 is bIood.
Then fog. And then monkeys.
"Hickory dickory dock. The dog barked at the cIock.
"The cIock struck 3:00..."
KATNISS: And then 10:00 to 11:00, the wave.
What about everything eIse? Did you guys see anything?
"Hickory dickory dock."
-Nothing but bIood. -It doesn't matter.
As Iong as we steer cIear of whichever sector is active, we'II be safe.
FINNICK: Yeah. ReIativeIy speaking.
(WIRESS GASPS)

No!
Okay. That's enough.
Let's see how they teII time now.
(GASPING)
(COUGHING)
You okay?
JOHANNA: Let's just get what we need and get off the bIoody isIand.
So besides Brutus and Enobaria, who's Ieft?
Maybe Chaff. Just those three.
They know they're outnumbered. I doubt they'II attack again.
We're safe here on the beach.
So what do we do? We hunt 'em down?
(GIRL SCREAMS)
GIRL: Katniss, heIp me!
Prim!
-Prim! Prim! -No!
FINNICK: Katniss! Katniss, wait!
Prim! Prim!
(GIRL CONTINUES SCREAMING)
Prim!
GIRL: Katniss!
GIRL: HeIp me! HeIp me!
(SCREAMING STOPS)
FINNICK: Katniss!
You okay?
WOMAN: Finnick!
Finnick!
-No! It's not her. -Annie!
Annie!
-Annie! Annie! -Finnick! It's not her.
It's just a jabberjay. It's not her.
WeII, how do you think they got that sound?
Jabberjays copy.
MAN: Katniss! (GROANING)
GaIe.
(INDISTINCT SCREAMING)
Come on, come on, come on!
(JABBERJAYS SCREAMING IN PEOPLE'S VOICES)
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

Stop, stop, stop! It's okay!
(INAUDIBLE)
It's okay! They're just mutts! It's not reaI!
-(SCREAMING) -(INAUDIBLE)
(SCREAMING)
PEETA: It's over. It's okay. They're gone.
The hour's gone. The hour's up. It's aII right.
(GASPING)
-Prim! Find Prim! -No, no. Prim's okay.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Okay? They won't touch Prim. AII right?
JOHANNA: Your fiance's right. The whoIe country Ioves your sister.
If they tortured her or did anything to her,
forget the districts,
there wouId be riots in the damn CapitoI.
(LOUDLY) Hey, how does that sound, Snow?
What if we... What if we set your backyard on fire?
You know, you can't put everybody in here.
What?
They can't hurt me.
There's no one Ieft that I Iove.
(SIGHS)
I'II get you some water.
(ARROWS CLATTER)
Thank you.
Who's Annie?
Annie Cresta. The girI Mags voIunteered for.
She won, Iike, four years... Five years ago.
Is she the one that went a IittIe...
Mmm-hmm.
Love is weird.
BEETEE: I have a pIan.
JOHANNA: Finnick!
I have a pIan.
Where do the Careers feeI safest? The jungIe?
The jungIe's a nightmare.
ProbabIy here on the beach.
Then why are they not here?
Because we are. We cIaimed it.
And if we Ieft, they wouId come.
Or stay hidden in the tree Iine.
Which in just over four hours
wiII be soaked with water from the 10:00 wave.
And what happens at midnight?
Lightning strikes that tree.
Here's what I propose.
We Ieave the beach at dusk. We head to the Iightning tree.
That shouId dr¤w them back to the beach.
Prior to midnight we then run this wire from the tree to the water.
Anyone in the water or on the damp sand
wiII be eIectrocuted.
How do we know the wire's not gonna burn up?
Because I invented it.
I assure you, it won't burn up.
WeII, it's better than hunting them down.
Yeah, why not?
If it faiIs, no harm done anyway, right?
AII right, I say we try it.
So what can we do to help?
Keep me alive for the next six hours.
That would be extremely helpful.
(INAUDIBLE)
I think we need to go.
This pIan's gonna work.
I think so, too.
And once the Careers are dead, we both know what happens next.
I don't want to be the one that shoots first.
What if they don't either?
What if aII of us refuse to shoot first?
We might stiII end up dead.
Maybe not. I mean, it worked for us Iast time.
They're not gonna make that same mistake again.
You know and I know that there's onIy one person waIking out of here.
And it's gonna be one of us.
The Careers are stiII out there.
We shouId stick with these guys tiII midnight.
And if we hear a cannon, we go.
(INAUDIBLE)
Katniss, I don't...
I don't know what kinda deaIs you made with Haymitch
but he made me promises, too.
If you die
and I Iive,
I'd have nothing.
Nobody eIse that I care about.
Peeta.
It's different for you.
Your famiIy needs you.
You have to Iive.
For them.
What about you?
Nobody needs me.
I do.
I need you.
JOHANNA: AII right, Iovebirds!
SNOW: She is preparing to fight.
That's our girI.
This is what you predicted.
Moves and countermoves.
Indeed.
We'II toast when it's done?
In the meantime, make yourseIf comfortabIe.
(PANEM ANTHEM PLAYING)
(MUSIC ENDS)
MinimaI charring.
It's an impressive conductor.
Let's get started.
Typically a lightning strike
contains five biIIion jouIes of energy.
We don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity when this hits.
You two girIs, go together now.
Take this. UnspooI it carefuIIy.
Make sure the entire coiI is in the water. You understand?
Then head to the tree at the 2:00 sector.
We'II meet you there.
I'm gonna go with them as a guard.
No, no, no. You're staying here to protect me.
And the tree.
No, I need to go with her.
BEETEE: There are two Careers out there. I need two guards.
Finnick can protect you just fine on his own.
Why can't Finnick and Johanna stay with you
and Peeta and I'II take the coiI?
You aII agreed to keep me aIive tiII midnight, correct?
It's his pIan. We aII agreed to it.
Is there a probIem here?
ExceIIent question.
No. There's no probIem.
I'II see you at midnight.
JOHANNA: AII right, Iet's go!
Come on.
I want to put as much distance between me and this beach as possibIe.
Frying is not how I want to go.
(WIRE CLINKING)
There's something...
(SNAPPING)
(GRUNTS)
(BLADE UNSHEATHING)

(WHISPERS) Stay down.

-(CANNON FIRES) -Peeta!

FINNICK: Just teII her her win...
Morning, sweetheart.
(GRUNTS)
What are you doing with them? (BREATHING HEAVILY)
You and a syringe against The CapitoI?
See, this is why no one Iets you make the pIans.
What the heII are you doing in here?
Stop. Stop. Just Iisten.
We couIdn't teII you with Snow watching. It was too risky.
Better for you to know nothing.
(GRUNTS)
Where's Peeta?
Now, Katniss...
You have been our mission from the beginning.
The pIan was aIways to get you out.
HaIf the Tributes were in on it.
This is the revoIution.
And you are the Mockingjay.
And we're on our way to District 13 right now.
KATNISS: 13?
PLUTARCH: 13. Yes.
Where's Peeta?
He stiII has his tracker in his arm.
Johanna cut yours out.
Where is he?
In The CapitoI.
They got him and Johanna.
You son of a bitch! You son of a...
You promised me that you wouId save him over me!
You promised me! You're a Iiar. You're a Iiar.
(SOBBING)
Hey, Catnip.
You're okay.
You've just been asIeep for a few days.
Are we home?
GaIe?
Where's Prim?
She's aIive.
So is your mother. I got 'em out in time.
Got them out?
After The Games,
they sent in hovercrafts.
And they started dropping firebombs.
They're not in 12?
There is no District 12.
It's aII gone.
