Whoo!

It's a good night to Purge, isn't it?

Oh, hell!

Who the hell is that?

The looters I was telling you about.

Purge Night, Senator. What did you expect?

Hey, you old f***! I'm back.

And I brought some friends.

And I'm gonna get that candy bar.

They have chainsaws

and they're coming inside.

All right. I got to get you outta here.

Yeah, but they're at both entrances.

Then I'm gonna Purge by killing you

and burning this b*tch to the ground!

I gotta call her.

Who?

We have a friend out there in a triage van.

You trust this friend?

Hey, you still questioning my integrity.

Boy, you are a piece of work, man.

Come on, girl, pick up.

Those motherfuckers blindsided us, man.

- I gotta get back out there.

- No, no, no.

You're not going anywhere.

I told your mom I'd look after you.

Just hurry up. Hurry up and bandage me up

so I can get back out there.

Okay, you promised me

you were gonna stay home tonight.

Well, I want to Purge tonight.

- No.

- I want to Purge.

Laney, what? Laney!

- For real, Laney?

- Yeah. For real.

You heard me right. Senator Roan.

Call me back, Lane. We need you bad.

She'll call back.

We can't count on your friend.

These kids will be in here soon.

What do we do?

Okay.

We're gonna work as a team

to protect this woman.

You gentlemen understand

what's at stake here, yes?

- Yes? All right.

- Yes.

We are gonna Purge today

Purge today, Purge today

We are gonna Purge today

Burn this b*tch down

F***!

Okay, you take the back,

I'm gonna take the front.

I'll take the front with you.

No, you're not gonna be on the frontline.

Are you crazy, Leo? Give me a gun.

I will give you a gun, but you're not

on the frontline. Over my dead body.

Then you better drop dead.

I think he's right, Senator.

Thank you, Deli Man.

Deli Man? I agree with you,

you still throwing attitude?

Okay, enough! Executive decision.

I'm with Leo.

We need as many guns as we can get.

Go, go, go!

Move, move, move!

Down.

Just point and shoot. Do not shoot me.

If I want some candy,

I'll take some candy!

I'll take whatever the f*** I want!

My mom's not gonna like this!

This is what the Purge is all about.

Me getting mine.

You getting yours and

nobody stopping anybody!

Bye-bye, motherf***er!

Say goodnight, cocksucker.

Because here comes your candy girl!

Here they come.

F***ing a**hole!

Hold on!

Wait here.

Pequea Muerte is back, b*tches.

Hey, guys! I got your message.

Laney!

- This is our girl.

- Go, go, go!

Holy sh*t, it really is you.

- Where do we go?

- The van.

Go.

Come on, Joe.

I'll be with you in a minute. I'll be there.

Joe, come on.

You get out of here, kid. I'm staying.

They'll kill you.

Go now!

If you stay, I stay.

Just leave.

Joe, listen to me.

For some reason, the Senator ended up

in our neighborhood, in your deli.

Maybe it's our duty to help protect her.

We'll rebuild the deli.

Whatever it takes, you and me. I promise.

Come on, guys. Now!

Where we headed?

Underground triage center service

in the community.

It's completely secure.

Expand our perimeter.

They're on foot. They can't be far.

Earl, spoke with the ground unit.

Tommy regained consciousness.

Says he got a shot off

at the Senator's security.

He thinks the bullet

is lodged in his shoulder.

How the hell did it get to this?

Who is he?

Why is he cuffed?

Rondo. Two bullet holes delivered

by a rival gang, but he's a good kid.

He's chained up because

I didn't want him Purging anymore.

So, Senator...

NFFA made a move on your ass.

Seems that way.

Goddamn conniving, duplicitous,

crooked, cocksucking politicians.

Agreed.

We're not all that bad.

My experience, Senator?

My people are on our own,

no matter what you all say or promise.

I'm kinda confused here.

Who the hell is this lady?

You big dope!

You give people

from the neighborhood a bad name.

Just some Purgers.

That's crossfire.

Not for us.

You seem really close.

How do you know each other?

Joe gave me a job seven years ago

when I first came here from Mexico.

I've been working for him ever since.

And you?

Joe's been looking out for me

since I was a kid.

And he helped me get out of the life.

Sounds like Joe is a saint.

Yeah, well, I ain't no saint.

I'm just doing my part.

Riding around in a van,

on Purge Night, helping people?

It's pretty dangerous.

Unwritten Purge rule is

leave the triage units alone.

It's true, for the most part.

Seriously, Laney,

who the hell are these people?

Do you read?

Down! Everybody down!

Anybody hit?

I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.

- You sure?

- Yes.

- Laney!

- I'm okay.

Oh, Jesus Christ! Rondo is dead.

- What the f*** was that?

- They found us, Senator.

I want you to turn left!

Go under the freeway.

- Move! Move!

- Yes.

Tonight, the gates of hell

will open and invite me in.

It's survival of the f***ing fittest.

Who's the fittest?

I'm the fittest of them all!

What the f***?

We're gonna lose them under there.

Ground unit, get your asses moving

and get here now. We got them cornered.

Turn here and stop.

Do we just wait here?

No, they'll have units on the ground.

They're gonna be all over us.

We all better figure it out fast

'cause I don't like it here.

It doesn't make any sense.

There was no way they could've known

we'd be in this van.

Doesn't matter. They did.

You son of a b*tch.

Leo?

- Leo?

- Move.

Leo.

Leo, what the hell are you doing?

Leo, what...

Trace bullet. That's how he found us.

Just leave it here and drive away.

They'll never know we left here.

Yeah, well, I wish it were that simple.

You all need to see this.

There's a whole bunch of negroes

coming right this way.

And we sitting up here like a bucket

of motherfucking chicken.

What's your ETA?

Two minutes, Earl.

Open the door, now!

What are we gonna do?

They'll start blasting if we move.

They'll start blasting if we don't.

Open the door! Open the door, now!

Open the goddamn doors!

What's the plan?

Yo, yo, yo! Quiet down! Quiet down!

- What the hell is that?

- Quiet down!

I know what I heard. I know what I heard.

I told you I ain't no saint.

Everybody's got a past.

That was a Crip whistle.

They just threw it back.

If this is the right set,

we should be good.

I know, I know what I heard. I know.

All right.

We're not gonna hurt you.

Just help my f***in' boy. He's gonna die.

We help you, you do something for us.

They're still under the overpass,

but they're on the move.

Get your asses in there.

They stopped. Stop the truck.

We're going on foot.

Clear!

Earl, we found the trace bullet,

but no sign of the target.

Yeah, we're heading back.

Ground unit, come in.

Ground unit, come in.

Come in, I need a f***in' sitrep.

F*** you, motherf***er!

No one following.

We're clear.

We're a few blocks away.

I'm gonna call in

and tell them we have a special guest.

Where are we?

You'll see.

What is this place?

We call this a Safe Zone.

- Senator, Dante Bishop.

- Mr. Bishop.
