The Purge Page #4

A quadruple dip recession

followed by a full market crash.

A skyrocketing debt,

multiple wars

and a significant

dollar devaluation...

All precipitating

the worst economic disaster

in the history

of the United States.

Crime and poverty

rose exponentially,

and the New Founding Fathers,

just months after being elected

came up with

this audacious notion,

the decriminalization

of murder for one night.

A lawful outlet

for American rage.

A way to contain crime.

The undeniable fact is,

this is working.

I thought

I heard gunshots.

A couple of streets back,

maybe?

Gunshots are gonna happen tonight, okay?

It's nothing.

It's probably somebody just

firing off a few rounds

before going hunting.

Come on.

Let's go relax.

Hold on.

Look.

He can't kick me out.

He's gonna be forced to

listen to what I have to say.

I don't know.

One on one.

Man to man, no BS.

I'm gonna explain to him that sure,

I may be older,

but you're also

very mature.

So age difference

is not a problem.

I'll tell him

how much I love you.

10 years ago,

we could barely afford rent.

Now we're thinking about buying a boat.

Crazy.

Yeah... Uh-oh.

This one has

a car garage.

Who needs a car on a boat?

They're coming after me.

They're gonna kill me!

Can anyone hear me?

Help me!

Someone, please, help me!

They're coming

after me, all right?

Can anybody help me?

Please. They killed...

I just need to get

somewhere safe.

Does anybody hear me?

Look, I won't hurt you!

I don't want to die.

I don't deserve this.

Why won't anybody help me?

I just need somewhere to hide.

Somebody, please, just open the door for me.

They're coming, they're coming.

Somebody, please!

They're gonna kill me!

What the hell?

Come here!

Let's go!

This way!

Come on!

Hurry!

Come on! Hurry!

What the hell?

Charlie! Zoey!

This way! Hurry!

Go! Go!

Hurry!

What the hell

is going on?

Mr. Sandin.

James, he has a gun!

Henry has a gun!

Oh, my God!

Henry!

Henry! Henry!

Oh, God!

James. Are you hit?

I didn't hit Zoey,

did I?

I think she's okay.

Zoey! Zoey!

Charlie, come here.

Mom, what's going on?

Charlie,

where is he, huh?

Where's the man?

I don't know.

I don't understand.

Who is he?

Why did you let him in our home?

He was hurt. He called for help.

No one was helping him.

Charlie, Jesus Christ.

What the hell? Huh?

We have no idea what

this man is capable of.

Enough.

Enough, James.

He's gone.

We don't know what Henry might do.

And we're not safe out here.

We don't know where Zoey is.

You're right.

Let's go. Come on.

Come on,

come on, come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Henry! Henry.

Hang on.

Henry!

Come on.

Henry?
