the kettle brown? No?

That's different, Joe, and you know that.

I'm protected, and you won't be.

This is all I got, guys.

This is my slice of the pie.

Man, I cannot, I can't lose this place.

I can't lose this place.

Hold on, Joe. Let's talk about this.

Everything is in place.

Team's in position.

Ten minutes to lockdown, boss.

Hey, Mama.

You ready?

Yeah.

Vaya con Dios.

Okay, let's go.

Okay. This is gonna be home

for the next 12 hours.

You need anything,

you contact me and me only.

- Clear?

- Clear.

Let's begin.

This is not a test.

This is your Emergency Broadcast System

announcing the commencement of the annual

Purge sanctioned by the U.S. government.

Commencing at the siren,

any and all crime, including murder,

will be legal for 12 continuous hours.

Here we go.

Police, fire and emergency medical services

will be unavailable until

tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.

And, for the first time since its inception,

no one has been granted

special immunity from the Purge.

No citizen or group will be exempt.

Blessed be our New Founding Fathers,

and America, a nation reborn.

May God be with you all.

I see you, Bobby.

- You know you can relax now, right?

- No, I'll relax in the morning.

Am I interrupting?

Senator, you should be in the den.

Eric, thank you for being here tonight.

My pleasure.

Leo, have a drink with me.

You don't have a choice.

Sounds serious.

Don't say a word.

Or I'll stick my foot up your ass.

Sit.

It's water, Leo.

Are you scared?

I'm terrified.

What made you apply for this position?

I like your politics.

No. No bullshit. I want a real answer.

I lost my son some years ago.

He was killed.

I almost did something on Purge Night

that would've destroyed a lot of lives.

I want this night gone.

I know you do, too.

Especially after what you lost.

Yeah. Despite all of that,

you have a big problem with how I do things.

You take risks, Senator.

My job is to eliminate risks

and keep you alive.

You don't make that easy.

The soul of this country is at stake, Leo.

The only way that I can win is to risk

everything, and that includes my life.

Peace, not Purge!

You go, girls!

Have a drink on us!

Can't you see we're working?

Purge, motherfuckers!

Just gonna wait right here

and see what happens.

Purge!

They probably won't bother us, okay?

Purge. Purge. Purge.

Go, go, go! Let's move!

Help! Help! Please!

Somebody help! Help! Help!

Please! Please!

Stop! Stop! Please, stop!

Please, help him!

Something's going down.

Hey, looks like someone needs our services.

Let's go. Let's do this. Stop.

I shot my husband! I shot him. Oh, God!

Okay. Calm down. Tell me what happened.
