[Wanders through hospital hall and comes up on Finnick's room]
Finnick.
I wanted to go back for Peeta and Johanna, but I... I couldn't move. They have Annie, too. They took her. She's... She's in the Capitol. I wish she was dead. I wish they were all dead and we were, too.
Boggs Miss Everdeen. Colonel Boggs, District 13's head of security. I know you've been discharged, but President Coin's requested to meet with you first.
Boggs [Riding down the elevator with Katniss]
I'm just here to escort you. We were always told there was nothing left of 13. Capitol bombed the surface to rubble. But we're military, so we learned to survive down here. Preparing, training.
[In response to Haymitch after the rebel leaders watch a propaganda clip of Katniss]
When she volunteered her sister at the Reaping.
Excellent example. [Wiping off information of a electronic touch screen] Okay. I hope that wasn't important. Okay. "Volunteer for sister". [Writing a note] Good. What else?
When she sang that song for little Rue.
Oh, yeah. Who didn't get choked up at that? You know, I like you better, Effie, without all that makeup.
Well, I like you better sober.
When she chose Rue as an ally as well.
Now, what do all of these have in common?
Unscripted, yes. So maybe we should just leave her alone.
Boggs And wash her face. She's still a girl. You made her look 35.
The opportunities for spontaneity are obviously lacking underground. So what you're suggesting is we toss her into combat?
I can't sanction putting an untrained civilian in battle just for effect. This is not the Capitol.
That is exactly what I'm suggesting. Put her in the field.
No, we can't protect her.
It has to come from her. That's what people respond to. You want a symbol for the revolution? She cannot be coached into it. Trust me, I know. Maybe there's someplace less dangerous.
District 8. They reported heavy bombing last month. There are no military targets left.
We can't guarantee her safety.
You'll never be able to guarantee my safety. I wanna go.
Make sure you get it on camera. [Plutarch scoffs]
[Boggs is leading Katniss through a hangar filled with air-to-surface bombs]
You had all of this and you just left the districts to fend for themselves?
Boggs It's not that simple, Katniss. We barely survived. We weren't in any kind of shape to launch a counter-attack. Yeah, we could've bombed the Capitol but they would've retaliated with at least twice the firepower. Then what? There would've been nobody left to claim victory.
Sounds like exactly what Peeta said and then you all called him a traitor.
Boggs This way, soldier. You are camera-ready.
Doesn't your comrade look handsome?
Boggs Let's go. [Katniss walks onto plane]
Quick introductions, Katniss. These people have come a long way to support the cause. This is Cressida. In my opinion one of the best up-and-coming directors in the Capitol.
Until I up and left. Hey.
Boggs Hey. Let's see what you can do. Be careful. This is my assistant, Messalla.
M Messalla
It's an honour to meet you.
Boggs And your cameramen over there, Castor.
Boggs And Pollux. Let's get locked in.
You're all from the Capitol? Plutarch got you out?
Don't expect much chitchat from him. He's an Avox. Capitol cut his tongue out years ago. And, no, it wasn't any sort of rescue, if that's what you mean. We all fled on our own. For this. For you.
Boggs This has gotta be fast. In and out. Move out.
P Paylor
You're alive then. We weren't sure.
Boggs Katniss, Commander Paylor, District 8. Katniss has been recovering, but she insisted on coming out, and seein' some of your wounded.
P Paylor
Well, we've got plenty of those. [Entering hospital] We have a mass grave a few blocks west, but, I can't spare the manpower to move them yet. Hospital's past that curtain. Any hope you can give them, it's worth it. The Capitol's done everything they can to break us.
Boggs Aren't you worried about having all your wounded in one place?
P Paylor
I think it's better than leaving them to die.
Boggs That's not what I meant.
P Paylor
Well, that's my only other option. If you can come up with another, I'm all ears. It's right through here.
Don't film me in there. I can't help them.
Just let them see your face.
...
W1 Woman 1
Katniss Everdeen? What are you doing here?
W2 Woman 2
What about the baby?
M Man
Are you fighting, Katniss? You here to fight with us?
I am. I will. [Man does Mockingjay salute with the rest of the fighters joining in]
[Pollux, who's filming]
Tighter. Tighter, tighter.
Your mom's gonna be proud of you when she sees the footage. Will this play in the districts?
It'll be tattooed on their eyes.
Boggs There's a problem.
Boggs Incoming bombers from the north. We need to find cover now.
P Paylor
There's a bunker in there.
...
Boggs [Katniss and Gale are observing incoming bomber planes from a wall hole]
Gale, back away from the wall!
Boggs [A smokestack is falling towards Katniss and Gale]
Move!
They're going after something to the south.
That's towards the hospital.
They're circling back around. Come on! [Planes drop bombs] That's the hospital. They're targeting the hospital. [Planes come over Katniss and Gale who implode one with one crashing into the other then crashing into a smokestack which falls into the hospital]
Katniss? Katniss, can you tell everyone what you're seeing right now? Katniss, what do you wanna say?
Boggs [To Katniss in the cafeteria]
Katniss, you're wanted in Command.
...
Tonight, we've received reports of derailed trains, of granaries on fire, and of a savage attack on the hydroelectric dam in District 5.
What have they done to you?
I'm begging for restraint and decency.
[Working in his space]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled horse manure to bring you... [Intercepts broadcast signal to divert to rebel footage of Katniss singing on view of hometown destruction]
That's it. That's our footage.
He sees it. He sees our propo.
Peeta, please continue. You were telling us about these savage attacks.
Yeah. The attack on the dam was a callous and inhuman act of destruction... Think about it. How will this end? What will be left? No one can survive this. No one is safe now. Not here in the Capitol. Not in any of the districts. They're coming, Katniss. They're gonna kill everyone. And in District 13 you'll be dead by morning. [Peeta is grabbed and signal cuts out]
He's warning us. That was a warning.
Boggs Yes, it was.
We have to get him out before they kill him.
Is there anything in the air?
S Subordinate
Nothing on Doppler, ma'am.
He was in the mansion. He could have overheard something.
It's time for an air raid drill.
...
PA PA announcer
This is a code red alert. Please, remain calm and begin evacuation protocol.
[Running in empty cafeteria]
Prim! Prim!
PA PA announcer
Proceed to your nearest stairwell and descend to level 40. Blast doors will be sealed in six minutes. This is a code red alert... Proceed in an orderly fashion to your nearest stairwell and descend to level 40.
S Subordinate
Madam President, three Capitol squadrons just entered our airspace.
How much time do we have?
S Subordinate
They're a few seconds from range.
Prepare to scramble the fleet.
Open up short-range air defense. Arm long-range missiles for counter-attack.
PA PA announcer
Continue to the Supply Station and claim one pack for each member of your compartment. Please keep all personal items within your assigned area. Be courteous to your fellow citizens. This is a code red alert. All citizens should be inside the bunker. Blast doors will close in two minutes.
Mom! Where's Prim?
Katniss' mother: I thought she went to find you. She must still be on the stairs.
There's no one on the stairs. [Realizes] She went back for the cat.
...
S1 Subordinate 1
They hit the far edge of the Northwest quadrant. Penetrated 40 feet. Missed the living quarters. Only minor damage to corridors 2 and 3.
S1 Subordinate 1
None detected.
S2 Subordinate 2
Doppler shows a fourth wave approaching.
...
You went back for the cat? What were you thinking?
I wasn't gonna leave him behind. I couldn't live with myself.
S3 Subordinate 3
Damage to the aquifer in the Northwest quadrant. We lost a transport corridor.
There's nothing else in the Northwest.
S2 Subordinate 2
Our surface-to-air launchers just took a direct hit in sector 3.
Because we revealed ourselves.
S2 Subordinate 2
They saw us firing there. Stand down. Don't launch the fleet.
S1 Subordinate 1
Another 12 Capitol bombers approaching sector 3 in attack formation.
Hold fire on their approach. What'd they hit?
S1 Subordinate 1
Bedrock. But there's debris in the ventilation shaft.
They're not targeting our fleet.
Boggs They don't know what we have or where we have it.
Can you confirm that everyone's safely in the bunker?
Boggs Already done.
Conceal all remaining anti-aircraft guns. Seal launching pads and ventilation corridors. We are gonna wait this out. This is what we're built for.
They'll seal us in here like a tomb.
The Capitol's working off some outdated information. I'd rather not update it for them.
Madam President, I know it's not my place... It's not.
You're a welcome guest, but you're out of your depth down here. Reduce oxygen to 14% to conserve it.
Take a deep breath, Mr. Heavensbee. It's gonna be a long night.
Prim, talk about something. Anything.
They promoted me at the hospital. I forgot to tell you. They're training me to be a doctor.
They'd be stupid not to. Hey. [Walks to Finnick after using flashlight to play with the cat] Can I sit?
Snow's using Annie to punish you. He's taunting us with them. I didn't understand until just now watching that stupid cat.
After your first Games, I thought the whole romance was an act. We all expected you to continue that strategy. But it wasn't until Peeta's heart stopped and he nearly died that... I knew I'd misjudged you. You love him. I'm not saying in what way. Maybe you don't even know yourself. But anyone paying attention can see it.
I drag myself outta nightmares and there's no relief in waking up. But... it's better not to give in to it. Takes 10 times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart.
...
Boggs [Waking her up]
Katniss? Katniss? Come with me.
We took their best shot. Didn't we?
Your mother and sister okay?
I need you to do something for us. I need you to tell Panem that we survived an attack by the Capitol with no casualties. And we remain fully operational.
You should know something. We had eight extra minutes of civilian evacuation because of Peeta's warning. I won't forget that. Thank you.
[Katniss is walking with team up stairs to surface]
So Katniss, it's "13 is alive and well and so am I." Katniss? Never one to waste it in rehearsal, I know.
[Katniss is picking up roses from bomb crater]
Why would they drop these?
Ready to go, Katniss? We're gonna do this, just like District 8. Tell me about the roses. Tell Snow 13 is alive and well. :Katniss: He's gonna kill Peeta.
Let's try again. Can you speak up? We don't have a mic on you. "13 is alive and well and so am I."
He's gonna kill Peeta. I can't.
"13 is alive and well and so am I."
He's just gonna keep... He's never gonna stop.
Cressida, we should cut the cameras. [Walks to her and hugs her] It's okay, Katniss.
No. He warned me. He warned me about this. He's doing this because I'm The Mockingjay. He's punishing Peeta to punish me. No. No, I can't do this. [Walks away]
Boggs Let her go.
I got... I gotta get out of here.
Boggs [Katniss wakes up after Peeta attacked her trying to strangle her and she tries to take off her neck support guard]
No, Katniss. No, you're swollen. Don't touch. No, no, no. Calm down. Calm down. You're okay. [To nurse] Tell her she's awake. [To Katniss'] Don't try to talk. Peeta's okay. I promise. I just had to get him off you. Don't try to talk. Peeta's okay. I promise. I just had to get him off you.
...
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.
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.
