Power Dynamics in a Critical Situation

Leo Barnes This is how it's gonna go now. Like you said, fate of the country's at stake. Okay? It's my show now.

Senator Charlie Roan Look, I'm not an idiot. I know what you're capable of. I'm the one who hired you. But if I see something I don't like, I'm not gonna be quiet about it. It's not in my nature.

Sergeant Shh.

The Purge: Anarchy

Investigation of High-Tech Purging Operations

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 Hey, look at this. That's Carmelo's mark, Mom. I told Papa he was the real deal. His group took these fuckers out.

The Purge: Election Year

A Safe Haven Amidst Chaos

Dante Bishop 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.

Senator Charlie Roan You set all this up, Mr. Bishop?

Dante Bishop Yes, this is my organization. We have doctors, and nurses, EMTs, paramedics. This is their way of protesting this damn night.

Leo Barnes How many people know about this place?

Dante Bishop 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.

Leo Barnes These men that are armed, you'll have them at all the entrances and the rooftop?

Dante Bishop Yes. My men will keep you safe. Or as safe as you can be on Purge Night.

Eva Sanchez I don't know how to thank you.

[''At a friend's apartment'']

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.

Angel Munoz He's not here.

Senator Charlie Roan 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.

Angel Munoz We do. That's why we're trying to pave a way for you to the White House so you can make changes.

Senator Charlie Roan You're gonna cost me the White House.

The Purge: Election Year

NFFA Revokes Protection for Government Officials

Tommy Roseland The New Founding Fathers believe in fairness. And we hear what the people are saying. That the Purge benefits the rich and the powerful. That was never the intention. From this point on, no one is exempt. The rules protecting level 10 government officials have been revoked.

Chief Couper Yeah, come in.

[as he watches on TV, Barnes knocks on the door]

Leo Barnes You seeing this?

Chief Couper Yeah, NFFA is revoking the Purge rule that protects government officials of ranking 10 on Purge night.

Leo Barnes Yeah, I'll secure a safehouse and full security detail on the night.

Senator Charlie Roan No. I'm staying home on Purge Night.

Leo Barnes Senator, I don't think that's a good idea.

Senator Charlie Roan If the voters get wind that I'm hiding in a fortress like some rich asshole, I lose votes and the NFFA wins. I stay home like 99% of the population. Make it safe. Whatever it takes.

The Purge: Anarchy

Aftermath of a traumatic experience

Lorraine All right. Bullet went right through. I can't believe you guys went through all that stuff. It's just insane! Get him to the hospital first thing after this is over.

Sergeant Yeah.

Lorraine You'll be okay. It's gonna hurt like a son of a bitch, but you're gonna be okay.

Sergeant Thanks. I can't thank you enough.

Cali That's what you get for being a hero.

Sergeant I need the car.

Cali I know.

Barney Come on, everybody. Eat, drink! Yes, I recommend drinking. It's the best way to get through the evening. And the food is delicious.

Tanya My mother's a wonderful cook. My sister's a testament to that.

Lorraine What the hell does that mean?!

Roddy That she's a good cook!

Sergeant You know, you didn't have to go this far. Just having us here was really enough.

Barney You guys have had a terrible night. Get some food in your system, and we'll get through this together. Excuse me. Cali? I can't believe nobody's drinking with me. What about you, tough guy? Want a drink?

Sergeant No, thanks.

Barney Okay. You're really going back out there?

Tanya Relax! It's my father and my brother-in-law. He's the super. They were just checking the building. It's all good. Everyone, please don't mind my husband's clothes. He's not Purging. He just thought it was a crazy idea to go out and see what's happening tonight.

Lorraine Yeah, I chickened out. No way I was going out there. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Thank God he came to his senses. I mean, look at him. He would've been the laughingstock of the neighborhood.

Barney That's not very nice, Lorraine.

Lorraine I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to be mean. It's not mean, it's just true. How's everything, Daddy?

Tanya It's all good, baby. The building's locked down and good. It's quiet.

Barney I see you had a rough go of it, my friend.

Sergeant Oh, yeah.

Barney Relax. Make yourself at home. You're safe here. We are anti-Purge in this household.

Lorraine Speak for yourself, Daddy.

Barney What does that mean? I could think of a couple situations where Purging could be the answer.

Lorraine Like when?

Barney I'm not telling. I'm just saying, don't piss me off, bitch. Uh, please excuse my daughter.

Barney And, please, if there's anything else you need, just ask.

Sergeant I could use a clean shirt.

Barney Down the hall, second door on the left. Top drawer of the bureau. What's mine is yours.

Sergeant Okay. Excuse me, too. I'm gonna go to the little girl's room cause this wine is going right through me.

Identity and Tension in The Purge

Leo Barnes What's your name, pal?

Joe Dixon You know what, Mr. Secret Service Man? You should be thanking my black ass for helping you instead of interrogating me.

[''Heading upstairs'']

Chief Couper This is a mess. She's not gonna be happy about it.

Leo Barnes I don't care if she's happy, Chief. And I want to go on record as saying this is a bad idea. No matter what we do here, this house and this Senator are at risk on Purge Night. You understand me?

Chief Couper Duly noted. Let's lock it down.

Senator Charlie Roan I have to stop them from killing the Minister.

Leo Barnes What?

Senator Charlie Roan If they assassinate him, he becomes a martyr. We lose.

A Father's Quest for Justice

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 Let go of my arm!

Laney Rucker Rondo. Two bullet holes delivered by a rival gang, but he's a good kid. He's chained up cause I didn't want him Purging anymore. So, Senator... NFFA made a move on your ass.

Senator Charlie Roan Seems that way.

Laney Rucker Goddamn conniving, duplicitous, crooked, cocksucking politicians.

Senator Charlie Roan Agreed. We're not all that bad.

Laney Rucker My experience, Senator? My people are on our own, no matter what you all say or promise.
