The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Page #3

---

I want everyone who's watching to stop

and to think about

what a civil war could mean.

We almost went extinct once before.

And now our numbers are even fewer.

- He's one of them.

- Is this really what we wanna do?

- He's a traitor.

- Kill ourselves off?

- Killing is not the answer.

- I can't believe he's doing this.

Everyone needs to lay down

their weapons immediately.

- Traitor!

- He's not one of us!

This is treason!

Are you calling for a ceasefire?

Yeah. I am.

- You're a puppet!

- Hang him!

I want everyone to stop

the senseless violence.

- This is not the path to change.

- Traitor!

It's not the path to justice.

There can't be a ceasefire.

Not after everything Snow's done.

He could have done

a lot of damage tonight.

Most districts, people are still too afraid

to join. They need the courage.

Why do you think he said that?

I don't know. Maybe he was forced.

He didn't look that bad.

Maybe he made some kind

of deal to protect you.

He's still playing the game.

No! No! No!

I'm sorry. It's just a nightmare.

That's okay. I get 'em, too.

Peeta,

will you stay with me?

Yeah.

Always.

Hey.

Can't sleep?

Tell me what's happening.

I'm good at keeping secrets.

Even from Mum.

No one hates the Capitol more than me.

And I wanna help.

But I just keep thinking,

even if we win this war,

what happens to Peeta?

I know he's not safe there,

but he's definitely not safe here.

I don't think you know

how important you are to them.

If you want something,

you just have to ask.

You could demand almost anything.

They'd have to agree to it.

I should wake you up

more often, Little Duck.

Get some sleep now.

You, too.

Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.

I've decided I'll be your Mockingjay.

But I have some conditions.

Peeta and the other Tributes,

Johanna Mason and Annie Cresta,

will be rescued

at the earliest opportunity.

If and when Peeta is liberated, he will

receive a full and unconditional pardon.

No punishment will be inflicted.

And the same goes for the other Tributes.

No.

It's not their fault

you abandoned them in the arena.

They're doing and saying

whatever they can to survive.

Individuals don't make demands in 13.

There will be a tribunal.

And a fair judgement.

Thank you.

The Victors will be granted immunity.

And you will announce that

in front of the entire population of 13.

You will hold yourself

and your government responsible

or you will find another Mockingjay.

That's it. That's her. Right there.

Isn't that who I promised you?

She wears the costume.

Gunfire in the background.

A hint of smoke.

Our Mockingjay.

Madam President, we're losing ground,

because the people are losing heart.
