The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Page #4

This is worth the risk.

She's worth the risk.

Pardons, tribunals. Power of the people.

It can all be the bedrock

of the new Panem, but,

in wartime I think even the noblest of

causes can be bent a little bit. Right?

Do you have any other conditions?

My sister gets to keep her cat.

Go away.

Is it visiting hours again?

Miss Trinket,

you see this door.

It opens. From the inside.

I've told you, these are the standard

living quarters. Same as everyone.

You're not a prisoner.

You're free to join the rest of 13.

Not looking like this.

Thank you very much.

We have a bigger issue

than wardrobe, Miss Trinket.

Katniss has agreed to be The Mockingjay.

- That poor thing.

- And your Girl on Fire is burnt out.

I need you to join this team now.

- I need someone she trusts.

- What about Haymitch?

He's drying out in some

facility a mile down.

Aiding rebels is not really my forte.

Miss Trinket, your days

in the Capitol are over,

no matter what happens here.

If you wanna play

a prisoner of war, fine.

an epidemic a few years ago.

- I have an announcement for the citizens of 13.

- Coin lost her family, too.

Daughter and a husband.

And our welcome guests from 12.

Katniss Everdeen has consented

to be the face of our cause

In exchange, I have promised

several concessions.

First, we'll assess all opportunities

for the extraction of the Victors

held hostage in the Capitol.

Peeta Mellark,

Johanna Mason...

- Finnick, I made the deal for Annie, too.

- And Annie Cresta.

Once freed, they will be granted

full pardon for any and all crimes

committed against the rebel cause.

Good.

That's good, Katniss.

If Katniss Everdeen

fails to fulfil her duties

the deal will be off.

Thank you for your attention.

Please, resume your daily schedules.

- Madam President.

- Effie Trinket.

Welcome to 13.

Madam President,

may I say you are so very...

concise.

You believe that

there's more to be said?

- May I speak freely?

- You don't appear to do anything else.
