like that from it, and that's great but really at its core is a love story and in that sense, anyone can relate to it. >> reporter: carol falls in love with rooney mara's shop girl, therese. >> i like the hat. how hard is it to pretend to fall in love with cate blanchett? >> it's very easy. i mean, cate is ass magneticc in film as she is in real life. there's no one like her. >> reporter: nick watt, abc news, los angeles. >> we thank you for that report.

cash on delivery. >> the mothers who say their babies were taken. >> they just took my by and i want my baby back. >> the mystery, the controversy and the american hospital at the center of it all. an explosive all new "20/20" tonight t 10:00, 9:00 central on abc. welcome back, everybody.

of the books, you know, and the last book is so epic, that to really have, you know -- i mean, i just love the ending so much that i feel like i've just been like sitting on my hands waiting for it to come out. >> and as much as it is bittersweet, i think i definitely appreciate the closure getting to start something and see it coming to an end and being able to kind of encapsulate that experience and walk away. >> tell me about boggs and katniss. their relationship really evolves. >> i think boggs has grown to really respect katniss, and he sees her put herself out on the lineneike several times, and so i think he becomes distrustful of coin, and he begins to really trust katniss and really be a really great ally for her. >> and johanna, she's a feisty chick, isn't she? >> she is, but she's still -- it's funny l le pretty much all my stuff is s th katniss this time.

>> and just a reminder, because ififou didn't hear amy j jt say it, it is in theaters now and we are going to go see it together, right? >> well, the four of us are going to go. sara will baby-sit our children. >> no. i'm pregnant. >> no baby-sitting needed when pitbull joins us with an incredible performance of his new single. here's a penny just for you. that's no penny. that's a galaxy s 6 at u.s. cellular on black friday. whoa, thanks, grandma!! you're welcome. you can also get an lg g4 or an lg g pad f 8.0 with that penny. nice! isn't that just delightful? pennies for everyone! get penny doorbuster deals on great devices this black friday from 8:00 a.m. till noon
