The Purge Page #2
think about it.
Hey, give that back.
Are we in the zoo?
Fine,
I want this.
Hey, look at this.
Mr. Sabian and Mr. Barbero
are going hunting.
That's daring.
I didn't know they were
going to Purge together.
Are they friends?
Hmm. The Ferrins
are having a party.
Grace said she wasn't
having a party this year.
Just thank God
we weren't invited.
She's nice. But, wow,
she's annoying.
All right, let's get
ready for tonight.
As always,
just a precaution.
All right,
Mr. Cali is starting his lockdown.
Okay.
Are we ready?
All right,
let's hit it.
Okay, Charlie, it's
almost time. Hit it.
Release the beast
and Purge in our American streets.
Your New Founding Fathers
encourage your participation.
This is not a test.
This is your
Emergency Broadcast System
announcing the commencement
of the Annual Purge
sanctioned by
the U.S. Government.
Weapons of
Class Four and lower
have been authorized
for use during the Purge.
All other weapons
are restricted.
Government officials
of ranking 10
have been granted
immunity from the Purge
and shall not be harmed.
Commencing at the siren,
any and all crime,
including murder,
will be legal for
12 continuous hours.
Police, fire and emergency medical
services will be unavailable
until tomorrow morning at 7: 00
AM when the Purge concludes.
Blessed be our
New Founding Fathers
and America,
a nation reborn.
May God be with you all.
Okay, kids.
I know bad things do happen tonight.
But we can
afford protection.
So, we'll be fine, just like always.
No worries.
Okay? Okay?
Can I go now?
I would prefer to be
miserable in my room.
Of course you may.
Thank you for being here.
Where are you going,
bud?
Hey.
Charlie.
Why don't you guys do it?
Because we don't feel the need to, Charlie.
That's all.
So, if you felt
the need to,
you would kill
someone tonight?
Look, I know this is difficult
to understand at your age,
but tonight allows
people a release
for all the hatred and
violence and aggression
that they keep up
inside them.
Okay? And yes,
if your mother and I were so inclined,
uh, we would participate.
Because it works.
You don't remember
how bad it was, Charlie.
The poverty,
all the crime.
This night
saved our country.
Hey...
Why don't you go relax?
We're all done here.
I've got some paperwork
to process to get my bonus.
movie later with the kids.
Jesus, Henry!
You scared
the hell out of me.
Wait,
what are you doing here?
So, I snuck in
when you were eating.
Baby,
you can't be in here.
My dad will lose his mind
if he sees you here now.
Come on.
Aren't you happy
to see me?
Of course.
We're looking at some
live feeds from around the country
and discussing the Purge with
criminologist Tommy Aagaard.
Thanks, Nicole.
Now, is the Purge really
about releasing aggression
and containing violence,
or is it something else?
Purge detractors
often postulate
this evening is actually about
the elimination of the poor,
the needy, the sick.
Those unable
to defend themselves.
The eradication
of the so-called
"non-contributing members"
of society,
ultimately unburdening
the economy.
Is the Purge
really about money?
Either way, crime is down.
The economy is flourishing.
I can't do this.
Um...
Did I do something?
No. I... Um...
I just...
I didn't come here
to see you.
I came to see
your father.
What? Why?
It's time
to straighten this out.
from seeing me.
That's crazy.
It might be crazy,
but he's not going to change his mind.
He thinks
you're too old for me.
Talking to him is only going
to make him more angry
and he'll make it
more difficult for us.
I promise everything
is gonna be okay.
America was collapsing.
A quadruple dip recession
followed by a full market crash.
A skyrocketing debt,
multiple wars
and a significant
dollar devaluation...
All precipitating
the worst economic disaster
in the history
of the United States.
Crime and poverty
rose exponentially,
and the New Founding Fathers,
just months after being elected
came up with
this audacious notion,
the decriminalization
of murder for one night.
A lawful outlet
for American rage.
A way to contain crime.
The undeniable fact is,
this is working.
I thought
I heard gunshots.
maybe?
Gunshots are gonna happen tonight, okay?
It's nothing.
firing off a few rounds
before going hunting.
Come on.
Let's go relax.
Hold on.
Look.
He can't kick me out.
listen to what I have to say.
I don't know.
One on one.
Man to man, no BS.
I'm gonna explain to him that sure,
I may be older,
but you're also
very mature.
So age difference
is not a problem.
I'll tell him
how much I love you.
10 years ago,
Now we're thinking about buying a boat.
Crazy.
Yeah... Uh-oh.
This one has
a car garage.
Who needs a car on a boat?
They're coming after me.
They're gonna kill me!
Can anyone hear me?
Help me!
Someone, please, help me!
They're coming
after me, all right?
Can anybody help me?
Please. They killed...
I just need to get
somewhere safe.
Does anybody hear me?
Look, I won't hurt you!
I don't want to die.
I don't deserve this.
Why won't anybody help me?
I just need somewhere to hide.
Somebody, please, just open the door for me.
They're coming, they're coming.
Somebody, please!
They're gonna kill me!
What the hell?
Come here!
Let's go!
This way!
Come on!
Hurry!
Come on! Hurry!
What the hell?
Charlie! Zoey!
This way! Hurry!
Go! Go!
Hurry!
What the hell
is going on?
Mr. Sandin.
James, he has a gun!
Henry has a gun!
Oh, my God!
Henry!
Henry! Henry!
Oh, God!
James. Are you hit?
I didn't hit Zoey,
did I?
I think she's okay.
Zoey! Zoey!
Charlie, come here.
Mom, what's going on?
Charlie,
where is he, huh?
Where's the man?
I don't know.
I don't understand.
Who is he?
Why did you let him in our home?
He was hurt. He called for help.
No one was helping him.
Charlie, Jesus Christ.
What the hell? Huh?
We have no idea what
this man is capable of.
Enough.
Enough, James.
He's gone.
We don't know what Henry might do.
And we're not safe out here.
We don't know where Zoey is.
You're right.
Let's go. Come on.
Come on,
come on, come on.
Let's go. Let's go.
Henry! Henry.
Hang on.
Henry!
Come on.
Henry?
Okay.
Here's the plan.
You two stay put here,
and I'll just...
I'll go out there
and I'm gonna find Zoey
and I'm gonna
bring her back here.
Henry tried to kill you.
James...
I know. Mary, I got
to make sure she's okay.
Okay? I have to.
He didn't shoot at me.
I'll find her,
I can go. I'll be fine.
No, no, no...
I can't let you go
with that man out there.
Okay?
I can't let you do that.
Baby, I...
Let me go get her.
You just stay here
with Charlie. Okay?
You be careful, okay?
