00:00 Mr. Snow.
00:06 After everything you've seen out there in the world, what are the Hunger Games for?
00:27 The Hunger Games are to punish the districts.
00:30 Those tributes don't have a choice.
00:34 Your role is to turn these children into spectacles, not survivors.
00:39 We're alive!
00:43 Smile.
00:45 That's why we have teeth.
00:46 Imagine it was your name that they pulled.
00:47 I just want to know that somebody still cared about me.
00:48 That I was still of value.
00:49 Welcome to the capital.
01:00 You look like you shouldn't be here.
01:01 I shouldn't, but I'm your mentor.
01:04 A rebel.
01:05 I am going to get you out of here.
01:09 You want to protect people, and it's essential to accept what human beings are, and what
01:17 it takes to control them.
01:19 Let's see you use that famous snow charm.
01:27 You seem like a good man, Coralina Snow.
01:30 I've seen what war does to people.
01:34 Fueled with the terror of becoming prey.
01:37 See how quickly we become predators?
01:42 I want my enemies to see a rainbow of destruction engulfing the world.
01:49 You monsters!
01:51 All of you!
01:54 Good luck with that poor little songbird.
01:56 Where is she?
01:57 It's a mystery, and mysteries have a way of driving people mad.
02:05 Mr. Snow, let me ask you one final time.
02:19 What are the Hunger Games for?
02:22 It's the things we love most that destroy us.
