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

earlier in the day like she'd wanted.

But you didn't. Why?

Were you caught up in Beetee's plan?

No, I was caught up

trying to play allies.

And then they separated us and...

that's when I lost her.

And then the lightning hit...

and the whole force field

around the arena just blew out.

Yes, but, Peeta,

Katniss is the one who blew it out.

- No.

- You saw the footage.

No, she didn't know what she was doing.

Neither of us knew there was a

bigger plan going on. We had no idea.

- You had no idea?

- No.

All right. Well, Peeta, there are many

who find this suspicious to say the least.

It seems as though

she was part of a rebel plan.

Do you think it was part of her plan

to be almost killed by Johanna?

Or part of the plan to be

paralysed by lightning?

No, we were not part of any rebel plan.

We had no idea what was going on.

All right. I believe you,

Peeta Mellark. Thank you.

Yeah.

And I was going to ask you

to speak about the unrest

- but I think you might be too upset.

- No, I can.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.
