The Purge (2018) s02e01 Episode Script

This Is Not a Test

Uh, hello, everyone.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for even bringing me in.
Um, this is an amazing role, really.
- I saw your insurance commercial.
- Oh, you saw that? I thought it came out really well.
My husband actually cried the first time he saw it.
- Uh, any questions for us? - Um, yeah, actually.
Reading this, um, what is my motivation? Um, think of her as a caretaker.
- Okay.
- Her authority comes from a desire to protect.
To do what's best for those around her, she sets firm limits.
That's what I was thinking.
Oh, and I also thought that she would wear glasses.
Am I crazy? No, that makes total sense.
"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 ten "have been granted immunity from the Purge "and shall not be harmed.
Commencing at the siren, all crime except murder " "Will be legal for 12 consecutive hours.
" Can we back up? The line as written is "including murder.
" Oh, right.
"Including murder will be legal," okay.
Okay, but I'm not telling them to go out and kill people, right? You're just stating the rules.
- Okay.
- Um, try it again from "commencing.
" Calm, reassuring.
This is business as usual.
"Commencing at the siren, "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 a.
m.
, when the Purge concludes.
"Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn.
" May God be with you all.
Really nice work, Megan.
So what's this gonna be? Like a movie or something? It's time to begin your shift.
Please proceed to your designated work station.
Almost there, gang.
Final Purge Night shift.
Now, remember, the last two hours can get a bit hectic.
Not everything is legal, so stay vigilant.
Possible derby in district four.
Yeah, let's get the drone up.
Purgers spray-painted 16 of our cameras.
Attempted breach.
There's two of them.
Let's keep an eye on them.
Watch your scans.
- Camera one is out again.
- Action in sector 3.
- That's odd.
- What's odd? Appears unarmed, but instead of watching his surroundings, he keeps checking his bag.
What do you think he's got in there? I don't know, let's take a look.
Hmm.
Bomb.
That's class five.
Suspected illegal weapon on Lafayette.
Yeah, - I'm tagging it right now.
- Great work, Esme, as always.
So what happens? Remote detonate the device.
- - If he survives tonight, he won't much longer.
It's a capital offense.
I don't get it.
With so much leeway tonight, why would he still break the rules? It doesn't really matter, does it? As long as we catch him.
Take it easy, take it easy.
We're not gonna kill you.
But we are gonna rob this bank, and Ryan here can't have you getting in his way.
- Sara, where are we at? - Running the numbers! Doug? - How we looking outside? - Clear on my end.
Copy that, let me know if anything changes.
Pro tip: baby oil.
Gets that tape right off.
It's funny, Tommy.
Stay focused.
Always! Most of the time.
Got it! Hey Ryan, I told you, don't worry.
I got this.
Ready? Clear.
Clear.
Come on.
- Oh, look at that.
- They're practically invisible.
Anti-surveillance headgear.
Illegal except on Purge.
Hey, what's the protocol for a ranked ten official in distress? Run facial recognition to confirm level ten, tag it, then call upstairs.
You okay? I just got promoted from the district seven office last week, so this is my first time working Purge Night.
This kind of crime is, you know I'm used to litterbugs and rolling stops.
Yeah, first time's the hardest I'm not gonna lie, but No, it's just a handful of disturbing images burned into my brain for life, but, hey.
- I work every Purge, so - Jeez.
Yeah, reminds me not to get complacent.
Without the NFFA, this is what our world could look like every day.
You really think so? I've seen what people do when they think no one's watching.
Damn, y'all, look! Bank robbers are getting it done over here! The IT department, however, are a bunch of fucking tools.
What? Just checking if you were sleeping.
Hmm, it's kind of hard to sleep with you staring at me.
Sorry.
It'll be over soon.
Not soon enough.
This night just kind of makes me start thinking about what's really important.
Hold up.
Are you trying to tell me you want to have a baby? Oh, a baby would probably make this night even harder.
It does.
That first year with Darren? Tonya, she practically had a nervous breakdown.
And you? I was at the window with a shotgun.
- No.
- Mm-hmm.
- Seriously? - Yep.
I just can't picture you like that.
I'm trying.
Mm, well, it was a different zip code in those days.
I like this one a little bit more.
Mm.
Mm.
Not again.
Really, Bill? Here.
Helps block the vomit smell until they clean it up.
Thanks.
Let's get you to the restroom.
Sorry.
You all right? Come on.
- I'm so sorry, guys.
- Every year.
Yo, Ben, good luck, man.
Do the thing! How far away is this "suicide bridge"? Uh, it's just a few blocks.
Yo.
Ow.
We shouldn't be out here.
Dude, the scavenger hunt is Delta tradition, all right? You'll be fine.
That's some Jeff and Greg are already on their way back.
I don't know, man, this is insane.
Don't puss out on me.
We just need a photo.
And, I mean, if it makes you feel any better, they're already dead, right? Come on, don't make me do this solo.
Okay, fine, let's get it over with.
One down.
Ignition stage right on time.
Copy.
Hey, I got some foot traffic here approaching from the south alley.
You need me out there? Hey, let's just slow your roll, trigger man.
Let's just see what we got.
Looks like two hoods.
Make that one.
We're good.
Business as usual.
Michelle? What the fuck? Shh quiet! I think someone is in the house.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Babe, let's go.
Go, go, go.
Come on.
Oh, God! I think I hit him.
Three down.
- Tommy, we're ready.
- You guys don't move.
How're the rent-a-cops? Not willing to risk their lives for minimum wage.
Tomorrow, I'm giving my landlord two big middle fingers.
Oh, well, that would imply he hadn't already kicked you out.
- Again? - It's the last time, I swear.
- Gonna buy me a house tomorrow.
- Got it.
We're in.
There's your down payment.
Yeah! Babe, come on.
You gotta hide.
You gotta hide in here.
- What are you doing? - I've gotta get him out.
- Of the house? - Yes.
I need you to reset the system and close the barricades.
It's too dangerous.
I love you.
I will be okay.
Be careful.
Shh, shh.
Yo, there should be more Benjamins in here.
Not here.
We count later.
But if something's wrong, we need to go hit the safe deposit boxes like now.
- Stick to the plan.
- We get one chance a year! Yeah, and I don't want to blow it.
- But we have time! - You don't know that.
We got 66 minutes.
Let's just get back safe and then we count.
Hey, hey! I need your help! Somebody's trying to kill me.
Hey, it's me.
Help me.
From next door.
It's Marcus.
What are you doing? I was making sure those guys are dead.
You see something? Hey, Esme? Could you look at this for me? Mm, it's a Kriss Vector rifle.
It's weird as hell but it's legal.
It's class four.
What sector are you working on? Sector three, but it's relatively calm.
Wait, go back.
Is there a closer angle on her? Oh, no.
That's Drew Adams.
You know her? She helped me out of a really dark place.
She's very special to me.
I owe her a lot.
Oh, shit, Esme.
She hated this holiday.
She wouldn't be outside.
Maybe she didn't have a choice.
Something's wrong.
Come on.
- She needs to get inside.
- Esme? Esme? Yeah, no, uh, it's fine.
She'll be fine, I'm sure.
Send me a link to that camera, would you? It's supposed to be right here.
Holy shit.
It really is a suicide bridge.
This is this is awful.
I feel bad even taking her picture.
Yeah, but we need proof.
That one kind of looks like Kelen.
Why would you say that? What? She clearly resembles your girlfriend.
That's not funny, dude.
I'm done with this night.
Dude, I was I was just making a joke.
Would you wait? Car coming in hot! Oh, you got something for me? Go get it! How you like that, man? Ooh - Get back.
- Freeze! - Shit, it's Jackals.
- Drop your weapons! Don't move now! That's enough, that's enough! Come on! Easy.
Ryan, you're too kind.
Just wanna thank you for cracking open that safe for us.
Now, we weren't planning on killing another crew, but if you don't give us that cash - Don't move.
- Easy.
Hand over the money and you all live.
No problem.
Stay calm.
The cash, now! - No, stop! - Hey, hey, hey! Shoot! Shoot! - Get up! - Son of a - Who the hell are they? - Jackals.
Thieves who steal from other thieves on Purge Night.
They look pretty bad-ass, though.
Hey, 50 bucks say the robbers bite it.
- I'll take that action.
- All right.
Hey, what do you say we take a break? - I could use a coffee.
- No, I can't.
Not now.
Come on, man, we just gotta get back.
Help! Help! Help! Please! Please, I need help.
Please.
It came from in here, I think.
Don't be an idiot.
Oh, please, help me.
Oh, please, please! Please untie this.
Just come here and untie this Ooh Aaah! - Dude, help me, man! - I'm trying, I can't do it! Let's get out of here! Hey! Turner, come on, man! You gotta get me out! No no Please don't No! - Come on! - I'm sorry.
Turner! Don't leave me! No Do something! Do something! Shh Uhh I'm not gonna hurt you.
Maybe a little.
Professor Adams, where is the file? - Please, let me go.
Please.
- Please.
- Please.
- File 64.
- Please, please, please - No, please Aah! No! Yeah, smoked him! Attaboy! You have five minutes.
Give up the money and we all get out of here alive.
Don't do it.
We'll give them the money and they'll still shoot our asses on the way out.
- Yeah, I'm with Tommy.
- We got five minutes.
With four between us and that door.
- We're fucked.
- Yeah, but so are they.
They run out the clock, they're guilty, too.
Oh, shit.
I have a feeling your guy here means a lot more to you than mine did to me.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Esme.
Should you be watching this? - I can handle it.
- That's not what I meant.
You would be the first person to tell me this job wasn't for personal use.
Something's off, I can feel it.
They were asking her about file.
Some kind of code, maybe? Is it illegal? Can you tag it? No.
You're right.
It's not a case.
You know what, I could use that coffee now.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Yeah, shirt off.
That's it.
Pants too.
It's okay.
Just take it off.
Don't be afraid.
Come on.
Now, on your knees.
It's beautiful.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Uhh uhh Don't please! No, no, no.
I wasn't going to, I swear! Aah - 90 seconds.
- Now, get it now! Okay, okay, don't shoot him.
I'm gonna throw the money out the door.
Hurry up! Check it.
- Go! - Get moving.
I got it.
I got him, I got him! All right, go, go, go, go! Oh, shit, there goes our ride.
- Where's the other bag? - I had to leave it.
We need that cash! Told you, man.
That's 50 bucks.
All right, people, less than 40 seconds till end of Purge.
- Stand by for the sirens.
- Okay, stand by.
And sirens in three, two, one.
- I'm going back.
- Sirens.
- I can make it, I got this! - Tommy! Three seconds.
Two seconds.
Told you I'd make it.
- Let's go.
- You can't come with us.
- Come on, man.
- We have a code.
Damn, Tommy, what were you thinking? - We need this! - Stop it.
They're watching.
Listen up.
After the final siren, crimes may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Let's get to it, people.
I need your expertise on something.
- I'm busy.
- It's urgent.
Bank robbery after the siren.
What's going on? Apparently, you're too busy taking bets to verify your own footage.
The old photo finish.
Oh, shit.
His foot's on private property after the siren, so that makes it an off-Purge crime.
- I made in time.
I know it.
- I don't.
Burn protocol, meet at 1300.
I'm taking Doug to the hospital.
I'll see you after? Really hope so.
Armed robbery.
Call upstairs and initiate liquidation protocol.
Baby It's okay.
It's over, he's dead.
Who was he? Hey, I don't know.
Come.
I should get back out there.
Wait, wait, wait, wait Honey, I wanna know who almost Purged me.
Okay.
Come on.
Where'd he go? He was he was right here.
What? What? What is it? Oh, shit.
He was following me.
This wasn't random.
He was targeting me.
