What's your name?
Sergeant
Shh.
Cali
You're good with guns. I'm guessing you're either a cop or a criminal, huh?
Sergeant
And I'm guessing you're either a pain in my ass or a pain in my ass.

Big Daddy
We found your car Sergeant. Your plates told us who you were. It was easy to see where you were headed tonight. Hell, I would've done the same thing. The unwritten Purge rule: don't save lives. Tonight we take lives. We make things manageable. Unfortunately the citizens aren't killing enough. So we supplement it all to keep things balanced. It's important work the NFFA does and we can't have any interference. We can't have heroes... oh no sir... no heroes. I hope you feel cleansed. Blessed be America, a nation reborn.

Title Card
America. 2023. Unemployment is below 5%. Crime is virtually non-existent while every year fewer and fewer people live below the poverty line. All thanks to...
Title Card
The Purge: anarchy.

Cali
I know you. You once said that the market mentality would no longer keep the American people stunted. "We are outraged and we're fighting back."
Carmelo Johns
Nice to meet you, too, young lady.
Eva Sanchez
There's a lot of them out here.
Carmelo Johns
Yeah, well, there's more of us. We're more pissed off. It's time for them to feel what it's like. Change only comes when their blood spills.

I'm gonna go get Papa for dinner.
Eva Sanchez
He said don't bother him.
Cali
Yeah. I just wanna see if he's awake.
[leaving]
Cali
Mom!
Eva Sanchez
What? What is it?
Cali
Mom, come here!
Eva Sanchez
What's wrong? Where's Papa?
Eva Sanchez
What is this?
Papa Rico
[narrating as she reads]
"Dearest Eva and Cali, my greatest heartache is seeing the two girls I love so much struggling in this world. I am dying, you know this. I'll be a martyr for a wealthy family tonight. They paid me for this service. $100,000 will be transferred into your accounts, my darlings. Take their money. Survive the night and live a safe life. I love you."

"Here hangs stockbroker David Neustadter. He stole our pensions. Now he's gone." Maybe David deserved it.

Cali
This is some high-tech shit. Yo, somebody spent a lot of money trying to do some heavy-duty Purging. Look at this. They're accessing the city's traffic cams. Looking for targets, I guess.
Liz
Traffic cams are controlled by the government. How did they get into these? I mean, who are these people?
Cali
Maybe you just answered your own question.
Sergeant
Look at this. Seventh Street. Is that your building?
Eva Sanchez
Yeah, but why is it all red?
Sergeant
You're being targeted for something, along with all these other buildings. Here, here. All over the city.
Eva Sanchez
All around the projects. Maybe you were right, Cali.
Cali
Look, I'm telling you, this is the New Founding Fathers. The government...
Shane
The truck is fucked.
Sergeant
No good?
Shane
No, the engine's all blown out or something.
Cali
[seeing a logo tagged on a brick wall]
Hey, look at this. That's Carmelo's mark, Mom. I told Papa he was the real deal. His group took these fuckers out.

Eva Sanchez
You want to tell us what we're doing here?
Sergeant
Do you see that house on the corner? The owner of that house killed my son 12 months ago. Nicholas was coming home from school, and he swerved off the road. That bastard's blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit, but, you know, he got off on a technicality, so... him and his wife and his two little kids, well, they live in that house, happily ever after. Two weeks ago, I came here and I disabled his back barricade. That's what we're doing here. I want you both to stay in this car, do you understand me? I don't want you to move. You'll be safe. It's almost over.
Cali
Don't, please.
Sergeant
Let go of my arm.
Cali
You can just stay here with us. And we can drive away and it'll be fine.
Sergeant
Let go of my arm. Let go of my arm.
Cali
No, please. I know. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry about what happened to your son.

Sergeant
We got two sets of eyes now, okay? Put those on.
[handing Liz a pair of night-vision goggles and a gun]
Sergeant
I took out four of these fuckers. There's three left. It's loaded. You point and you shoot.
Liz
Someone's coming right at us.
Sergeant
Light him up.

Sergeant
Okay, if you can just tell her I need the car right now, that would be really great.
Eva Sanchez
I know what you're doing tonight. You're going out there to kill someone who wronged you. You believe in this night, don't you?
Sergeant
I think you should just take care of your daughter. She's special, and you're very lucky. And I need the car.
Eva Sanchez
There is no car.
Sergeant
What?
Eva Sanchez
I'm sorry, they don't have a car. But we needed you.
Sergeant
And I needed the car.
Eva Sanchez
I-I did what I had to. I did it for my daughter.
Sergeant
I was doing this for my son. And I trusted you. You have no idea what you might have taken away from me tonight.

Cali
I don't understand.
Eva Sanchez
It's how the wealthy Purge, baby. They buy poor and sick people, and they take them in their homes and they kill them where they're safe.
Cali
Oh, my God. It's just like Carmelo said. Why would Papa do that? I don't understand why he would do that. He's... okay, he must have left something that could tell us where he went.
Eva Sanchez
Cali.
Cali
Like his... his phone. We should call his phone.
Eva Sanchez
Cali.
Cali
We could stop him.
[she sees his wallet, watch, and phone on the dresser]
Eva Sanchez
Cali...
Cali
Okay, that's fine. We can do something about this. I don't know what, but we can do something about it.
Eva Sanchez
Cali, stop. Just stop. He's gone. He's gone.

Get out of the car. Leave the keys and get out of the car. Get out of the car!
Old Elegant Woman
[as he holds his gun on her]
Oh! Oh, God, no! No, don't shoot me. No. No, don't shoot me.
Sergeant
Look at me!
Old Elegant Woman
Please, don't shoot me.
Sergeant
You don't deserve to live, you piece of shit. You remember me, okay? You remember me. Now, run. Run! Run! Faster!

Liz
Oh, I'm sorry. You scared the shit out of me. I thought I was losing you. But I still think we should tell your sister.
Shane
That's not funny.
Liz
I'm sorry.
Shane
No, I got shot.
Liz
Oh, are you gonna use this excuse for the rest of our lives?
Shane
Well, at least the rest of the night.

Deranged Woman
I'm doing God's work. He uses an earthquake, a virus. Population under control. The masses nourish and flourish. I am that virus tonight. I am a one-woman fucking plague. And you're all in my path! I am the Holy Trinity. Oh, I am the Holy Trinity. I am the Holy Trinity. I am the Father Fucker, Son of a Bitch, and Holy Shit! And my MP-9 silver-tipped Auto Magnum. The right arm of the free world and the left hand of God!

Shane
Is anyone else kind of curious about this guy?
Liz
I'm just glad that he's out here with us.
Shane
Yeah, me, too. But we all got stuck out here, and he chose to be. That means he's Purging.
Sergeant
Hey. Let's go.
Eva Sanchez
Are you saying that we shouldn't trust him? He saved our lives.
Shane
All I'm saying is that he's out here armed to the teeth, on Purge night, voluntarily. That means he's trying to do something nasty.
Sergeant
I can hear you.

Sergeant
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at my face. Do you remember me ? Look at my face. Do you know what you took from me ? You took my boy. You took my boy. You took my fucking boy. You took my son. You killed my son, you son of bitch.
Warren Grass
I'm so sorry.
Sergeant
Look at me, look at my face. Did you see him when you hit him? Did you see him? Tell me what he looks like! Tell me what he looked like! Tell me what he looks like! Tell me you saw his face, tell me you saw his face. You're gonna pay for what you did to me, for what you did to my boy.
Warren Grass
I'm so sorry for what I did.

Cali
You're out here to do it, aren't you? To Purge? That's what... that's what you have to do later on, right? What are you gonna do?
Sergeant
Stop. New rules. You shut up. All of you, shut up.
Cali
I'm gonna stop talking because you're being an asshole, okay? Not because you told me to shut up.

[dressing Shane's wound after he's shot]
Get him to the hospital first thing after this is over.
Liz
Yeah.
Sergeant
You'll be okay. It's gonna hurt like a son of a bitch, but you're gonna be okay.
Shane
Thanks.
Liz
I can't thank you enough.

That's what you get for being a hero.
