The Purge (2013) Edit

A couple of streets back, maybe?

A grotesque menace to our just society,

A lawful outlet for American rage.

A little bit.

A nation reborn. (GUN COCKS)

A quadruple dip recession followed by a full market crash.

A skyrocketing debt, multiple wars

A way to contain crime.

About a man whose love is so powerful, that it can kill people.

Alive.

All other weapons are restricted.

All precipitating the worst economic disaster

All right, can I...

All right, Charlie, you're next.

All right, it's time for lockdown. Let's go.

All right, let's get ready for tonight.

All right, let's hit it.

All right, Mr. Cali is starting his lockdown.

All right, Mr. Faulk. Safe night.

All right? Do you hear me?

All right? I love you.

All right. Come on, Charlie, help me.

All right. Let me get the chair, here.

All right. Sit down, sit down. Listen.

All right. Yeah. You got it, sir. You came out on top.

All sales are final...

All sales are final...

ALL: Blessed be the New Founding Fathers

American streets will be running red tonight,

And a significant dollar devaluation...

And America, a nation reborn.

And containing violence,

And discussing the Purge with criminologist Tommy Aagaard.

And get my wife and my children killed along with you.

And he can now play music to accompany him on his missions.

And he'll make it more difficult for us.

And Henry's dead.

And I insulated his motor, so you can barely hear him.

And I'm gonna bring her back here.

And in English, I wrote a story

And let us do our duty as Americans.

And now he needs to be taught a lesson.

And on you.

And reports are coming in from all around the country

And shall not be harmed.

And the New Founding Fathers, just months after being elected

And then you just stuck it in our faces.

And there are literally bodies everywhere.

And there had to be 200 people in the town square

And they were dragging people out

And walk outside there by yourself,

And we have to tie him up and get him outside.

And we will want as wanting is our will on this fine night.

And we're gonna drag him outside

And we're gonna end this goddamn night.

And we're not safe out here. We don't know where Zoey is.

And you are not.

And you can either die like a man,

And you failed!

And you have to get home before lockdown.

And you, Grace.

And you're not gonna come out for anybody, all right?

And your blue flowers tell me that you support the Purge.

And, um, we can enter any home we want.

Announcing profits in both sectors.

Announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge

Any and all crime, including murder,

Anybody tries to come in, you blast them.

Are Mommy and Zoey okay?

Are people really saying that?

Are they friends?

Are you going to be okay?

Are you hurt? No, I'm okay.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Are you okay? ls Charlie okay?

Are you okay? Yes, Dad, I'm okay.

Are you protecting him?

Aren't you happy to see me?

As always, just a precaution.

As both gun and home security system

As police, firefighters and paramedics...

As there is simply no more room.

As we do every year,

Baby, I...

Baby, you can't be in here.

Because everyone says, I love you.

Because it works.

Because we don't feel the need to, Charlie. That's all.

Before going hunting.

Blessed be America, a nation reborn.

Blessed be America...

Blessed be our New Founding Fathers

BLOODY STRANGER Stop!

BLOODY STRANGER: Lower your weapon.

BLOODY STRANGER: They're coming after me.

Breaking into the tenement next to me,

But a dirty, homeless pig.

But I am not dying tonight!

But I support what occurs here tonight 100 percent, okay?

But I've got some good news for all of us.

But just keep in mind, Mr. Sandin...

But other than that,

But the country wide catharsis creates psychological stability

But they'll kill him.

But things took a turn.

But tonight allows people a release

But we can afford protection.

But we're gonna make it through tonight, all right?

But you're also very mature.

By letting us release the aggression we all have inside of us.

By the way, there's a slight deviation in my heart rate,

Bye! Good night!

Bye! Thank you, Grace.

C) Kay? C) Kay?

Calc test, piano. Normal day. Mmm hmm.

Cali, get the tape!

Came up with this audacious notion,

Can anybody help me?

Can anyone hear me?

Can I go now?

Charlie, Jesus Christ. What the hell? Huh?

Charlie, just give me a second.

Charlie, listen to me.

Charlie, what are you doing?

Charlie, where are you, baby?

Charlie, you wait here. I'm gonna be right outside the door.

CHARLIE; Mom...

CHARLIE: Dad?

CHARLIE: Mom, now!

CHARLIE: Mom! Mom!

CHARLIE: This way! Hurry!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie! Zoey!

Charlie? Baby, where did you go? Charlie?

Charlie? Charlie!

Charlie? Mom?

Charlie.

Christ, look at us. Look at this man.

Christ! Charlie, that's twice today.

Christ.

Clearly, more people will be Purging this year than ever before.

Come here!

Come here.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, look over here.

Come on, Mary.

Come on, Mary.

Come on!

Come on! Hurry!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go relax.

Commencing at the siren,

Congratulations to you, too, Susan.

Congratulations, baby.

Congratulations, Dad. Thank you.

Crazy.

Crime and poverty rose exponentially,

Cut it. Cut it now.

Dad, are you sending him outside?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad.

Did I do something? No. I... Um...

Did you do the systems check I recommended?

Did you enjoy Grace's Purge party...

Didn't you hear what I said? No more killing tonight!

Display those flowers proudly, folks, okay?

Do it.

Do not do this to my children, please.

Do you hear me?

Does anybody hear me?

Does anybody mind? Can I do my day?

Don't even think about it.

Don't fist bump that!

Don't force us to hurt you.

Don't move.

Don't say that.

Don't thank us too much, Mary.

Don't touch me. Look at you.

Don't touch my fucking children!

Don't.

DR. BUYNAK ON 'N: History has proven this over and over again.

Drop it.

Drop your gun

Drop your weapons right now.

Eating dinner, no penises!

Eating dinner, no penises!

Either way, crime is down. The economy is flourishing.

Enough. Enough, James.

Everybody's doing security checks, it's crazy.

Except, Charlie, I need the light.

Exists only to serve our need to Purge!

FEMALE ANCHOR: We're looking at some live feeds from around the country

FEMALE ANNOUNCER ON RADIO: Just after 7:00 AM, March 22nd,

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Hundreds have gathered in Times Square

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Release the beast, and Purge in our American streets.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: This is not a test.

FEMALE ANNOUNCER: We have 364 long days until the next Purge.

FEMALE FREAK 1: Why don't you give us the homeless man?

FEMALE FREAK 2: No one will miss him when he's gone.

Fine, I want this.

For a public vigil

For all the hatred and violence and aggression

For letting us Purge and cleanse our souls.

For their sacrifice to make this country a safer place.

From emergency rooms in Brownsville

Get back.

Get chains on every door and every window!

Get off me!

Get off! Get off of me!

Get the letter opener and press on his wound!

Get the letter opener on the desk!

Get with the times. God.

Go fuck yourself.

Go! Go!

Good night.

Grab the letter opener!

GRACE: Come on. No! No!

GRACE: Mary!

Grace?

Great. Now, let's get the tape and tape him in there.

Growl. Why?

Gunshots are gonna happen tonight, okay? It's nothing.

Guys, look what time it is.

Hang on. (SOBBING)

Have a safe night, ladies.

Have a safe night, Mary.

Have been authorized for use during the Purge.

He cannot forbid you from seeing me.

He didn't shoot at me.

He was hurt. He called for help. No one was helping him.

He was my friend,

He's 18, he's not getting any younger.

He's a young boy. He doesn't know better.

He's dead. Henry's dead. CHARLIE: Mom?

He's gone. We don't know what Henry might do.

He's gonna be forced to listen to what I have to say.

Help me! Someone, please, help me!

Henry is dead.

Henry tried to kill you. James...

Henry!

Henry! Henry!

Henry! Henry. (GROANING)

Henry? (CONTINUES SOBBING)

Here's the plan.

Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna roll him into that chair,

Hey

Hey, give that back. Are we in the zoo?

Hey, good job. You're doing great.

Hey, honey, I'm home!

Hey, look at me. Huh? Look at me, Mary.

Hey, look at this.

Hey, Mr. Sandin.

Hey. Charlie.

Hi! Ooh! Cookies!

Hold on.

Holly, line four. What are your Purge plans?

HOLLY'. Locking down behind my brand new security system.

Honey...

Hurry!

Hurry!

I am begging you. I'm really begging you.

I am so sorry about Henry, okay?

I came to see your father.

I can go. I'll be fine. No,no,no.

I can't do this.

I can't let you do that.

I can't let you go with that man out there.

I come bearing gifts. (LAUGHS)

I couldn't get her to come with me.

I did get a chance to see some live surveillance footage

I did it. I did it.

I did it. I did it.

I didn't come here to see you.

I didn't hit Zoey, did I?

I didn't know he was going to... Why would he do that?

I didn't know they were going to Purge together.

I do. I care, very much.

I don't condone that kind of behavior.

I don't deserve this.

I don't know what's going on.

I don't know, she ran out here.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to do this anymore.

I have another idea.

I have some news. Um... MARY: Go ahead.

I have to show you something.

I hope you're hungry

I installed a night vision program

I just need somewhere to hide.

I just need to get somewhere safe.

I just need you to listen to me, Grace.

I killed him.

I know. I saw Zoey.

I know. Mary, I got to make sure she's okay.

I love you.

I made way too many cookies.

I need you right now, okay?

I promise everything is gonna be okay.

I should say stumbling through downtown Los Angeles,

I surely hope not, Mr. Sandin.

I swear to God, I will shoot him right now.

I talked to John over at repairs, and he took care of it.

I think my dad's home.

I think she's okay.

I want you to take this one as well. Safety's off.

I wanted to surprise you.

I will let her go when this night is over.

I will.

I would prefer to be miserable in my room.

I'll be okay. I have his gun.

I'll find her,

I'll go first and then...

I'll go get him.

I'll go out there and I'm gonna find Zoey

I'll put them in water, get them outside.

I'll tell him how much I love you.

I'll tell you at dinner.

I'm glad you all had a grand time.

I'm going to go hide in your secret spot.

I'm gonna explain to him that sure, I may be older,

I'm gonna pick him up on the count of three, all right?

I'm really begging you right now.

I'm so glad I caught you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your time is essentially up.

I'm sorry.

I'm very disappointed as you fine folk should know better!

I've got some paperwork to process to get my bonus.

If you don't drop your gun,

If you don't...

If your mother and I were so inclined, uh, we would participate.

In the history of the United States.

Into the hall. Let's go.

Is it impenetrable? No, nothing's impenetrable.

Is it that hard to understand?

Is she okay? Is she hurt? Is she in there?

Isn't it amazing? Not one carb.

It looks good?

It looks good. It's strong. People stay away.

It might be crazy, but he's not going to change his mind.

It was very nice.

It's all fine.

It's all that matters.

It's hard to say.

It's him or us, Charlie.

It's not built for worst case scenarios.

It's not gonna be okay.

It's okay, Mary.

It's okay.

It's probably somebody just firing off a few rounds

It's time for you to quiet down, Mary,

It's time to straighten this out.

It's tonight, isn't it?

It's used, and we need to find our own thing.

It's wrong. It's so wrong. We don't have a choice.

James is dead.

James, he has a gun! Henry has a gun!

James, look at you.

JAMES: 10 years ago, we could barely afford rent.

JAMES: Charlie, where is he, huh?

JAMES: Just do it again, Mary. (MUFFLED SCREAMING CONTINUES)

JAMES: Just thank God we weren't invited.

JAMES: Mary, are you okay?

JAMES: Mr. Cali! You're getting one last walk in before lockdown, huh?

JAMES: Okay, thank you.

JAMES: Okay.

JAMES: What the hell is going on?

JAMES: Zoey?

James!

James!

James.

James.

James. Are you hit?

JAMES. Don't hurt her.

Jesus, Henry!

Just calm down.

Just get it over with.

Just give us the homeless pig, you fuck!

Just let me take you in this chair. All right?

Just look at me. Just look at me.

Just make sure your left hand cooperates in that third movement.

Just one question for you.

Just remember all the good the Purge does, okay?

Keep the light on us, Charlie. Ready? One, two...

Kill us quickly.

Killing one of us when we attempted to execute him tonight.

Leave her alone, you son of a bitch.

Let go of me! Please, don't!

Let me go get her.

Let me introduce us.

Let's get this over with.

Let's go! This way!

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's growl.

Let's tie them up. We'll kill them right here.

Listen to me. lam just trying to protect my family.

Listen to me. Okay.

Look at me.

Look at what you're doing.

Look, check it out. I made some adjustments to Timmy.

Look, I know this is difficult to understand at your age,

Look, I won't hurt you!

Look. He can't kick me out.

Ls the Purge really about money?

Mr. and Mrs., the man you're sheltering is nothing

Mr. Faulk? James Sandin.

Mr. Halverson?

Mr. Sabian and Mr. Barbero are going hunting.

My boys.

My dad will lose his mind if he sees you here now.

My division sold the most upgraded security systems.

My son let him in.

Never saw anything like this.

No, I wasn't right about anything.

No, I'll look silly.

No, Mom!

No, Susan, it's a team win. Thank you.

No,no,no! Dad!

No,no,no. Don't touch me.

No,no,no. What do you mean?

No!

No!No!No!

No.

No. Too much trouble.

Nobody's bothering us tonight.

Non contributing members of society,

Not anymore.

Not everyone had the year you did, Mary.

Nothing is ever going to be okay again.

Nothing special.

Nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about.

Now get the hell out of my house.

Now we're thinking about buying a boat. (LAUGHS)

Now, is the Purge really about releasing aggression

Now, listen, I don't want to hurt any of you,

Now, we have guns, and he doesn't.

Now.

Of course you are, because you're always ready.

Of course you may. Thank you for being here.

Of course.

Of course. No problems.

Oh, for God's sake! Just do it!

Oh, God, I know.

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

Oh, good.

Oh, great. Not one.

Oh, I have a new hobby. Baking. Grace. Mary.

Oh, my... (GASPS)

Oh, wow, it's later than I thought.

Oh!

Oh.

Oh. Go like this...

Okay

Okay

Okay

Okay

Okay, Charlie, it's almost time. Hit it.

Okay, fine.

Okay, I'm almost done here. As soon as you get the legs secure...

Okay, kids. I know bad things do happen tonight.

Okay, listen, just sit down. Sit down, please.

Okay, to answer your question, yes, they could get in here.

Okay, we are almost done.

Okay? And yes,

Okay? I can't let you do that.

Okay? I have to.

Okay? So take that gun away from my daughter's head!

Okay. All right.

Okay. Okay

Okay. Okay, all right! (MUFFLED SCREAMING)

Okay. Ready to sit in the chair?

Okay. Where are the kids?

Okay. You're a good boy.

One of the haves.

One on one. Man to man, no BS.

One thing? Yeah?

Or anybody else's right to Purge.

Or is it something else?

Or you can die like a coward

Our equipment is arriving soon.

Our target escaped us, and...

Pete from Northern Virginia, what's your Purge plan?

PETE: I'm gonna hunt down my boss.

Please be safe, okay?

Please don't kill me. Please don't!

Please don't.

Please let me hold my children.

Please untie my hands. Hmm?

Please, just let us Purge.

Please, not my children.

Please!

Please. Drop it.

Police, fire and emergency medical services will be unavailable

POLITE LEADER: Cooper, come look at little lady Sandin.

POLITE LEADER: Dear Mr. and Mrs.!

POLITE LEADER: I want all these barricades down!

POLITE LEADER: Run!

Press on his wound!

Press on his wound. What?

Provisions which will help us break into your elegant home.

Purge detractors often postulate

Purging at the same time.

Put the gun down.

Quarterly sales reports were released

Ready to violate, annihilate, and cleanse our souls.

Ready? Okay.

Relax, it's just good old neighborhood gossip.

Right now!

Right now! You let my fucking kids go!

Right now.

Safe night to everyone.

Safe night, Mr. Sandin.

Sanctioned by the U.S. Government.

Save her for me.

Save your children.

See if she's waking up.

Send out he, or that...

She's been pouting all day. I can't stand it.

She's exquisite.

She's just gonna have to sulk. She'll get over it.

She's not hurt.

Shit!

Shit.

Shoot him, Mary! Shoot him! (SCREAMS)

Show your support for this important evening.

Shut UP, Mary! Shut up!

Sit down, sit down.

So age difference is not a problem.

So that we may Purge as we are entitled.

So, are you having your annual party, Grace?

So, he cuts out his own heart.

So, I bid thee farewell, sweet Sandins. (GUN COCKS)

So, I would never deny yours,

So, if you felt the need to,

So, quit playing with Timmy and come help me set the table, kiddo. Okay?

So, we'll be fine, just like always. No worries.

So, you're gonna have to do something about the Henry situation.

So,lsnuckin when you were eating.

Somebody, please, just open the door for me. (GUNS FIRING)

Somebody, please, just open the door for me. (GUNS FIRING)

Someone's getting ready for tonight.

Something smells good.

Sorry about that.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd love to have a word.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

Sorry, I forgot to take my vitals earlier.

Sorry, Mom.

Sorry.

Stay there, all right? Stop it.

SUSAN. James Sandin's office.

Sweetheart?

Sweetheart?

Sweetheart... (BREATHING SHAKILY)

Ta da! Ah.

Take me outside.

Talking to him is only going to make him more angry

Tell Dad I'm sorry.

Tell me, why haven't you delivered the filthy swine to me yet?

Thank you for accepting my invitation.

Thank you for this unforgettable Purge, Mr. Sandin.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, son. Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanking all those who were killed last night

Thanks. It's a team effort, you know?

That is very, very cool.

That one is saying something.

That piece of filth that you are protecting

That son of a bitch has it coming.

That's crazy.

That's daring.

That's what makes this country great.

The Annual Purge has just concluded.

The decriminalization of murder for one night.

The denial of our true selves is the problem.

The eradication of the so called

The monitors are working on backup.

The needy, the sick.

The new addition you built, it's just amazing.

The pig doesn't know his place,

The poverty, all the crime.

The power's out in the whole house.

The Purge not only contains societal violence to a single evening,

The truth is, you're ours, not theirs.

The undeniable fact is, this is working.

Their rooms, of course.

Then we should watch a movie later with the kids.

There are people outside.

There you are.

There's nothing to do about it.

They are gonna come in here, and they are... Back up.

They can't get into our home.

They could devise a battering ram, okay?

They could smoke us out.

They could tunnel underneath us.

They have chains on the doors and windows.

They're coming after me, all right?

They're coming in here, and they are gonna kill us all.

They're coming, they're coming. Somebody, please!

They're gonna kill me!

They're gonna kill me!

They're gonna pull them off and come inside.

They're happening right now. Do you see this?

They're my children, please.

They're the victims tonight.

Things like this are not supposed to happen in our neighborhood.

This country has taken everything from me.

This evening is actually about the elimination of the poor,

This is our home. Our kids live here.

This is so wrong.

This is your Emergency Broadcast System

This neighborhood paid for that new addition on your home.

This night saved our country.

This one has a car garage. (LAUGHS)

This was the most successful Purge yet.

Those cookies are crazy good.

Those freaks outside are coming in!

Those unable to defend themselves.

Three! (STRAINING)

Timmy?

To almost every home in this community.

To make the world a better place.

TOMMY ON TV: America was collapsing.

TOMMY'. Thanks, Nicole.

Traffic's even worse than last year.

Um...

Untie them, let's go.

Until tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM when the Purge concludes.

Wait, James, I have to talk to you.

Wait, what are you doing here?

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Was his life really worth yours?

We are inherently a violent species.

We decided to help you.

We don't have any other choice.

We got to get some rope. What?

We gotta calm down. Sit down.

We have no idea what this man is capable of.

We have tested the system. It works 99 percent of the time.

We have to, Mary. That's what this night is all about.

We just can't find him.

We saw an opportunity to cleanse ourselves of our hatred.

We saw that you were having some trouble.

We want to treat you fairly, so listen closely.

We'll be better people and you'll have sacrificed yourselves

We'll release the beast on him...

We're gonna fight.

We're gonna find that man and we're gonna force him outside.

We're just gonna lock down, watch some Purge events.

We've got to get out of here.

Weapons of Class Four and lower

Well, I have to make a few phone calls. Mmm hmm.

Well, I'd like to hear about everybody's day.

Well, they are happening, James.

Well, we studied the history of tonight in History.

Well, we studied the history of tonight in History.

What are we gonna do?

What do I do?

What do you know, did you hear anything?

What do you mean ours?

What do you mean?

What do you mean? What do you mean ours?

What have I done to deserve a gift, Grace?

What is it? What's bothering you?

What the hell happened to us, James?

What?

What?

What? Why?

When did this happen?

When I'm listening, that's what I hear.

When people release the beast in record numbers.

When your barricades came down,

Where are you going, bud?

Where are you?

Where is he?

Where's Dad? Is he all right? Everyone's fine.

Who cares?

Who had the audacity to fight back,

Who is he? Why did you let him in our home?

Who needs a car on a boat?

Whoa! Hey,hey,hey!

Why are you doing this right now?

Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?

Why don't you go relax? We're all done here.

Why don't you guys do it?

Why should he die?

Why won't anybody help me?

Will be legal for 12 continuous hours.

Will be thee.

Yeah, I was a proud American.

Yeah, just what the Halversons needed. More cookies, right?

Yeah, Mom.

Yeah, they're gonna be fine.

Yeah... Uh oh.

Yep

You all think you're so damn perfect.

You are going to be locked in tight tonight.

You are making this much more difficult than it needs to be.

You can't keep creeping up on me like that, Charlie.

You don't have to say that.
