The Purge: Election Year Page #5

This is Angel.

Dawn called. Told me you guys

were coming through.

So the NFFA came at you tonight?

Can't say I'm surprised.

Let me show you around, get you settled in.

You set all this up, Mr. Bishop?

Yes, this is my organization.

We have doctors, and nurses,

EMTs, paramedics.

This is their way

of protesting this damn night.

How many people know about this place?

Just the volunteers,

and the homeless that we invite in.

Look, these are the real victims

of the Purge.

The people that the NFFA

are trying to eliminate

so that they don't have to

take care of them anymore.

These men that are armed, you'll have them

at all the entrances and the rooftop?

Yes. My men will keep you safe.

Or as safe as you can be on Purge Night.

Appreciate it.

- Mr. Bishop.

- Yeah.

Thank you, for all of this. I am impressed.

Well, don't thank me. Thank the volunteers.

Mr. Bishop, I've heard stories

of tactics that you employ on Purge Night.

I can't say that I agree with any of it.

I'll tell you what.

You get elected, you stop this night,

and I don't have to do what I do anymore.

Let's go, Angel.

Fair enough.

You hold down the fort here.

Keep an eye on her.

And keep her and her people quiet. Okay?

All right, let's go!

I want access to

every surveillance camera in the city.

We'll do a grid search

for that f***ing triage van.

It's out there somewhere. Find it.

Yeah.

Your crew? Your guys? They feel like family?

Boss.

We did the right thing.

Yeah.

But it's time to go.

Gotta get back to the deli.

What? No. Are you f***ing crazy?

We're safe here.

Laney, you know I'll walk back if I have to.

Fine. I'll drive you.

But if we run into any problems,

we're coming right back here.

Deal.

Really? Can you do that?

We'll see her again, Marcos.

And she's safe here.

Let's hit it.

I don't know,

but I bet it was really cool.

It is, it is.

- Hey, you okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Good.

- I'm gonna go take a look around.

- Okay.

Stay here.

Okay, boss.

What are you doing here?

- Hand.

- Why are you here?

What the hell's going on here?

- He was snooping around!

- Hey, hey! Okay, okay, okay.

- Hey! Hey.

- It's all right. It's all right.

Red, back up. It's okay.

Just put the gun down, all right?

Everybody's okay.

Back up.

We're okay.

All right? All right?

We're good. It's all good, okay?

I'm just getting my weapon.

What's going on?

Just doing my job.

Senator, it's just a misunderstanding.

Why don't we go back outside?

Come on.

- Are you seeing this, Leo?

- Yes, Senator.

Senator, why don't we go outside...

Stop.

Those are the Minister's

biggest financial supporters.

The NFFA.

Our Lady of Sorrows.

Is that where the Minister

is going to be tonight for the Purge Mass?

- We believe so.

- You believe...

What is all this?

Why do you have all this?

You're gonna assassinate him.

You're gonna assassinate

the Minister tonight, aren't you?

You know, somebody's

got to say it out loud.

What in the f*** happened tonight?

Nobody's gonna believe it.

Mmm-hmm.

Irish Ike's gonna be like, "Bullshit.

- "Now where's my waffles and p*ssy?"

- "...and p*ssy?"

He got that one-track mind.

That boy done lost his mind.

Sh*t.

I hope he's okay tonight.

Yeah.

Hold on, guys. Look.

Those are government trucks.

I saw them on YouTube

from last year's Purge.

And they're going

straight back towards the Safe Zone.

You cannot do this. I need to

win this thing fair and f***ing square.

They are not playing fair and f***ing square

and neither should we.

This church will be locked up

like Fort Knox.

You'll never get through.

You're gonna get slaughtered.

Four churches were built on that site.

The original by your boy

George Washington over 200 years ago.

The man liked to have escape tunnels

attached to all his structures.

They're all over D.C.

The tunnel under the original church

has been closed up since the '50s.

But we reopened it.

We're gonna walk right through there

and into that church

without anybody even knowing it.

The original Founding Fathers are about to

f*** over the New Founding Fathers.

Now how you like that for irony?

How do you know where

this mass is gonna be?

Because we do whatever it takes.

We did this for you, Senator.

No, it's not for me. Get your boss

on the phone. I need to talk to him.

- He's not here.

- Angel, listen to me.

You call him.

You tell him he does this

and the Minister becomes a martyr.

I cannot have my presidency

built on murder. You see that.

He will not leave this to the voters.

He does not believe in the American system.

Angel, believe in me.

I can make this happen.

We do. That's why we're trying

to pave a way for you

to the White House so you can make changes.

You're gonna cost me the White House.

It's Laney.

She says there's trucks approaching us.

What?

Who is that?

Government soldiers.

That's the NFFA

eliminating all their enemies this year.

They're here for Bishop,

but they will kill you.

- You need to evacuate your people.

- We can't move the injured.

- I need to get her out of here now.

- There's a way out back.

Where does it come out?

The alleyway down to Third and Thompson.

Third and Thompson. Give me the phone.

Laney, I need you

at Third and Thompson now.

Yeah, we'll meet you there.

So, we're driving right back

into that war zone?

Stupid!

All these people.

We'll protect them.

Please, stop the assassination.

- It's too late. Now go. Stay safe.

- Go!

So what we supposed to be,

like some superheroes or something?

That ain't what I do.

I hate this night!

Ah, sh*t. Hell with it. Come on. Sh*t.

Let's do it. Let's go get 'em.

I can't believe we're outside again.

I'm gonna get you through this.

My God, it's so close!

At your own risk now!

Are you f***ing kidding me?

- Ready?

- Yeah.

- One.

- Go for it!

- Two.

- Try your luck!

Go!

Good luck out there!

Let me hear you whisper

That you love me too

Keep the love-light glowing

in your eyes so true

Let's go, let's go!

Come on, I got you.

- You guys okay?

- Yeah.

Thank you. Again.

Where we headed?

Drive. Out of this city. Get us out of here.

You okay, Senator?

No, Marcos. I'm not.

This night corrupts everyone.

- Senator.

- I can't win like this.

It goes against everything that

I believe in.

We need to focus on one thing

right now and that's survival.

I need to make sure

you get through this night.

I have to stop them

from killing the Minister.

What?

If they assassinate him,

he becomes a martyr. We lose.

Yeah. And how do we do that?

I don't know. We have to do something.

Do what? Do what? You're willing

to risk your life to save an assassin...

Everybody all right?

Joe, you okay?

I'll be okay.

Leo!

Gun!

I know where they're taking her.

I know why she's still alive.

Where?

You find a safe place to hide

and you stay there.

No. No way.

Whatever it is you plan on doing,

we're coming with you.

Let's go.

May the Purge protect us. Keep us pure.
