The Purge (2018) s01e02 Episode Script

Previously on "The Purge" Now, tell me where she is, no more bullshit.
I will be your guide into the Invisible.
Tonight our departures will have real meaning.
Ryker Moore Equity is safer than our homes tonight, so let's put the Purge out of our minds so we can all focus on work nothing else.
There's no turning back.
You can follow my progress live through the app you downloaded.
You're third tonight.
We're making a deal with the devil.
We are taking the devil's money, and we're gonna do great things with it.
I know who you're looking for, and I know where you need to go, but you ain't gonna like it.
- Where's my sister right now? - She's being Purged upon.
What is America? America is, we've been told, the land of the free.
So tell me, then, what is more American than the Purge? Nothing.
The Purge is the ultimate night of freedom.
On Purge night, you're free to do whatever you want with no law, no person, no governing body dictating your behavior.
On Purge night, America lives up to its promise.
So how will you use this freedom? Will you right some wrongs? Will you heal? Will you hurt? Will you give life? Will you take life? Just don't let yourself or your country down.
The Purge is America.
So be an American and Purge.
No contact from this point on.
You'll get a text when it's done.
Okay.
Take him down! Ah! God.
Oh, my God.
She sure knows how to make an entrance, huh? Hey You good? I'm fine.
Think she's okay? Well, she looks better.
So you don't think we have to worry? Hey, are you sure you're good? Yeah.
I'm here to get our financing, that's it.
Let me find a corner and wait for the sirens to blare.
- Deal? - Deal.
- Rick.
- Speaking of which Stanton.
Game time.
- Love you.
- Love you.
- Go get 'em.
- Yeah.
Hang tight.
Hi.
How are you? I'm great.
- You look amazing.
- Oh Tell me, Tanzania how was it? It was so great.
I loved the food.
I got to travel.
Even went on a little safari before I came back.
And you're helping build a school, I think your mom said? - We start in the fall.
- Fantastic.
Yeah.
And what about your love life? Dating anyone? - Here and there.
- Mm.
Well, there are a few eligible bachelors walking around.
I'd love to introduce you.
That would be great.
I'd love to meet them.
Oh, it was so nice seeing you.
- You too.
- Have fun.
- Yeah.
- Excuse me.
Oh, hi.
Ah, so nice to see you.
What the hell? Jesus.
Man crazy sons of bitches.
Shit.
I'm just here to help.
How many times he been hit? Two, it looks like.
Uh, yeah.
Two, right? - Are you a paramedic? - No, I'm a Marine.
- You been overseas? - Just got back.
So, uh, you've seen a few people shot, I bet.
We usually work at staging areas.
They're saying this will be the worst Purge night ever, since it's so warm.
All right, two entry wounds here.
Two exit Both clean through meat.
There's a third one right here.
That bullet is doing the real dirty work.
Pack this wound, give him some blood.
- He'll probably make it.
- Thanks.
Happens all the time in firefights.
It's always the wound you don't see that will kill you.
Hey, you want to run with us tonight? We could use another set of hands.
Especially someone who knows what they're doing.
I mean, we took a course, but on on real days, I'm a claims adjustor, she's a history teacher.
Can't.
I need to find my sister.
She's on this crazy blue bus.
Have you guys seen anything like that? No, man, no bus.
Uh, we saw a-a garbage truck and, uh, no shit, a goddamn horse and buggy.
Death to the NFFA! You'll be safe with us.
We're off-limits.
Unwritten Purge law.
Amazes me that any rule holds on this night.
The Purge notwithstanding, the natural human bent is toward order.
In the absence of that, people find ways to pay homage.
You want to find that bus, you should talk to Pete the Cop.
Cops don't work on Purge.
Pete's a flop cop.
He runs the Cantina over on Lorillard.
Yeah, so, if anyone can help you, it's Pete.
He's got the whole city wired.
The password is "Excelsior.
" You'll need it.
Good luck.
All right, thanks.
- Stay safe.
- You too.
Thanks, man.
Prepare my soul.
The Giving is near.
The Invisible awaits.
Purify my flesh.
Prepare my soul.
The Giving is near.
The Invisible awaits.
Purify my flesh.
Prepare my soul.
The Giving is near.
The Invisible awaits.
Purify my flesh.
Prepare my soul.
The Giving is near.
The Invisible awaits.
Purify my flesh.
Prepare my soul.
Hey, did you I leave those there to remind myself that I was once a dreamer.
You drew these? I spent my 20s in Paris imagining myself the next great master.
Well, these are amazing, really.
And I'm not saying that because I want the job.
You're very kind, but they're not quite good enough to pay the bills.
Please, sit.
It's lovely to see you again, Jane.
- You too.
- Let's get right into it.
Shall we? All right.
You were number one in your class at Wharton, and you've been through three rounds of interviews here with high marks across the board.
That does not happen by accident, and that does not happen very often.
I've been following your firm since I read a profile in "Forbes" back when I was an undergrad.
Puff piece.
Total puff piece.
Dad and Malcolm were old pals back in the day.
What did you say your dad did for a living? I didn't.
We like to say here, if you make partner, that your children will grow up very differently than you did.
It's, uh, the beauty of America.
Opportunity for all, right? You know, all we have left to say here, is welcome aboard, Jane Barbour.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr.
Ryker.
You won't regret my hiring.
Please David.
David.
I'll have Alice take you down to HR.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Bye.
I don't want to get hurt like that.
The screaming.
Remember what the Good Leader teaches.
Pain is temporary, but it's a necessary step on the way to the Invisible.
I guess.
You were there when your parents crossed over.
Did they suffer? Yes.
But only because they didn't want to die.
They fought against it instead of giving in.
There was no Good Leader to guide them.
I spent so long trying to forget what happened.
Losing the only people who ever loved me.
I wanted to escape.
I was in so much pain, I kept trying to hurt myself just to feel alive.
Good Leader Tavis saved me, showed me the true path.
What's the first thing you'll say to your parents? That I love them That I've missed them and that I'm so happy to be home.
So You don't need to worry.
It will all be love in the end.
It is time.
One among us will be chosen.
Purify my flesh.
Prepare my soul.
The Giving is near.
The Invisible awaits.
Purify my flesh.
Prepare my soul.
The Giving is near.
The Invisible awaits.
Purify my flesh.
I have received a sign from the Invisible.
Melissa Melissa, it's you.
You are to leave us now and go to the place we all desire.
Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
Hey, remember what awaits you and be strong, my love.
We will soon arrive at the place of your Giving.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You're the last person I thought I'd see tonight.
That makes two of us.
I figured Rick might be here.
My dad likes when people show up and dance to his tune.
So is that why you're back to talk Albert into funding a new project? If we can both make the world a safer place with my dad's money, why not? Amen to that.
You look happy.
Ah Is that soda water? I'm pacing myself.
Yeah, well, I'm not.
Thank you.
So your trip sounded nice.
Yeah.
You would love Tanzania.
Well I'm glad you made it back in one piece.
- Hey - Sorry.
Listen, um, I'm really okay.
All that stuff forget about it.
I want to be all about the future.
My dad will take care of you.
I put in a good word.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Now, relax.
You're at a party.
The whole thing? It was ridiculous.
Hey, where have you been? Is everything okay? I'm fine.
I'm glad to see the two of you collaborating.
But can we get back to work? This needs to get done, pronto.
Right.
What does David always say? Surrender the "me" for the "we.
" So who's your pick Mark or Alison? They're both strong.
Alison is due.
I agree.
You've trained them both so well.
Thank you.
I'm glad we finally had a chance to sit down.
I've been wanting to talk to you about what's next for Jane Barbour.
Okay.
I'd like that.
We're talking partner, Jane.
It's okay to smile just a little bit.
There it is.
Hey.
Uh, the Snyder Robbins deal closed 30 on the dollar.
Great.
Now I can stop dodging their calls.
Yeah.
Anya's killing it, don't you think? She's dedicated.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
She has made some shrewd choices.
I think we could all learn from her.
She's obviously on the fast track.
I like to keep different options open to partnership.
Okay, David.
Jane? What is it? I need to catch up on my reports.
Let me see your hands! Shit.
Now, asshole! - Come on, cracker head! - Shit, shit.
Come on, chico! You got three seconds.
We got a contestant, boss.
About goddamn time.
Stand right here.
What the hell are you talking about? - Contestant for what? - It's the Gauntlet.
You make it all the way around the block, you get a prize.
Apple of my ex-wife's eye.
Hell of a ride, too.
Of course, the Gauntlet's a doozy this year.
What Gauntlet? I'm not doing none of this.
Let me go.
I need to find my sister.
Fine by me.
Then you will die right here and right now.
I'll be a sitting duck out there.
Now he gets it.
Suit him up.
It's showtime.
Let me go.
Where it, or it wears you.
Hey, kid what's your name? Your name, amigo.

I'll I'll be in touch.
Look at you.
- Man of the hour here.
- Yeah.
You know, I was talking to my dad about you.
He's a big fan.
I'm glad to hear that.
But you know what's weird? Hmm? He might make a big investment in your company but he doesn't really know a thing about you.
Lila - I want to introduce you to someone.
- Okay.
Nice seeing you, Rick.
Good luck tonight.
- Lila, this is Dawn.
- Hi, Dawn.
He's done.
Look at that.
Line 'em up! Ladies and gentlemen, we got ourselves a winner.
Penelope Guerrero, if you can hear me, I promise I'm gonna find you.
Cut that shit.
Give me my damn car.
The night's not over yet, man.
No! No, please! No! No! No! So these parties are they as amazing as everyone says? One thing I can say about our boss he knows how to cut loose.
These are done.
Check the numbers.
I'll run the last column.
You know, a few people have said that Dave can be a bit, you know, forward.
He's been nothing but a total gentleman.
Anya I didn't want to say anything Ladies.
I know that this is taboo these days, but Merry Christmas.
Thanks, David.
The carriage is leaving for the ball.
Hey, have you spoken to the guys in Houston? No.
Why? About the, uh, Chan Houghton Deal.
Uh, we filed it last night.
The Germans just pulled out, and I need this reworked by tomorrow morning.
I'm sorry.
I'll handle that.
Jane has seniority.
Actually, I need a more seasoned hand.
Sorry, Jane.
I know you'll crush it.
Hey you know you're the only one - I could trust to deal with this, right? - Mm-hmm.
- I know it stinks.
I'm sorry.
- David, stop, stop.
It's fine.
I knew you would come through.
You okay, boss? Yeah, I'm just nervous.
This deal the pressure's been intense.
Sorry I snapped at your earlier.
No, no, consider it forgotten.
So that guy who works on 28 did you ever go out? - Mm-hmm.
- Oh, no.
Ugh, wait for it.
So we go to dinner.
I thought things were going great.
And so we go to see a movie, and he just left me there.
Like, he got up to go to the bathroom, and he never came back.
- What an asshole.
- I know.
Alison, you don't deserve that.
But you'll find someone better.
Yeah.
I should Purge him.
You'd Purge over a bad date? No, not really.
It's just every time I see him in the elevator, I just want to punch him.
Well, it's his loss.
Seriously.
You know what? Let's get this done so that we can have a drink.
What about you? You must have a secret wish list.
- Wish list for what? - You know.
Come on, a Purge list all the people you wish you could take out.
We all have one.
I don't.
I I've never even been out on Purge night before.
There's a first time for everything.
I mean, what about David? What about him? We all see the way you get passed over for partner.
- It's complete bullshit.
- Oh.
No.
Everything happens in good time.
Remember that.
Uh, well, still you could have lured him in here tonight and taken care of business.
- I'm kidding.
- Oh.
- Obviously.
- Okay.
- We need to get this filed.
- Mm-hmm.
Of course I mean, now you don't even have to leave your home to Purge, do you? You could just arrange for someone to do your dirty work.
What are you saying, Alison? No, it's just sometimes it feels like Purging is the only answer.
Maybe for some people, but Can you run these? Yes.
Sister Melissa it is your time to Give.
Come forward and offer your good-bye.
No.
No, I can't die.
Please, God, no.
Stop.
I'll go.
Please, Good Leader.
It's okay.
I'll show you.
Really, it's okay.
Sister Penelope It is very considerate of you kind, even.
- Then let me go.
- No.
It is not your turn.
It has been ordained.
Melissa is next.

Penelope! Help me! What's the password? Excelsior.
Masks and weapons stay outside.
Slowly.
Check him.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for a guy named Pete the Cop.
Who the hell are you? Hello, young man.
I'm Comonuche.
Miguel.
- I'm looking for Pete.
- Okay, um, Miguel.
Welcome to Pete's Cantina.
Only got one rule here no politics, no violence.
People go along with that? It's the Purge.
There are no rules.
People respect Pete.
So, when they come here, they follow Pete's rules.
He's earned it.
How's that? You know what? Why don't you go ask him yourself? You Pete the Cop? Who's asking? My name's Miguel, and I'm looking for a bus.
My name's Pete and I don't give a shit.
Bracka? Could be.
I'm Jane, from the email.
Okay, you're Jane from the email.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for taking my case.
That's what I do take cases.
And, um, the case it's completely confidential, right? Of course.
No one will find out? Not from me.
And you're You know, you've done this before? What, you need references? No.
Nope.
- You know the only rule.
- Right.
- Once we transact, there's - There's no turning back.
So you better be sure.
Okay.
Yes.
I'm sure.
I'm positive.
It's been years a lifetime in the making.
I mean, some slights they seem small at first, and then, well they accumulate and accrue.
And I put up with it until pinpricks turn into stabs and it becomes one long succession of bullshit and people refusing to see you for who you are because I no longer recognize who I am anymore.
A person can take only so much.
And it's not all little things some very major like people making sure you don't succeed at the level you deserve, that you've earned outright.
- It's just unbeliev - Look save it for your shrink.
Okay.
Okay, but you need to know that I would never I need to know the who and the where nothing more.
The why you can keep that to yourself.
Okay.
- Okay, but it's just that - No "but.
" No, it's my right to Purge.
Okay.
You crazy? You pay me here, and we both go to jail.
All business is transacted the night of.
Sorry.
I'm Just I don't know what I I'm Hey.
It's okay.
I get it's your first time, but you don't have to be worried.
I'm good at what I do.
Thank you for that.
Besides, they never expect a woman.
Jesus.
Oh, you scared me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Just when you think this night can't get dark enough, my parents up the ante.
Maybe that's why they're still together.
Why? They have a weird sense of humor? That and a sex therapist.
You okay? Catalina said you weren't feeling so well.
I'm fine.
Just a little stomachache.
Let me see.
No fever.
I just hate this night.
Yeah.
You do seem different.
You're so perfect.
Lila, don't.
Take what's yours.
Be one with yourself.
Own your time on this green earth.
Use the Purge the way it was intended to cleanse the soul of doubt of pain, of misgiving.
Make this night work for you.
Now, you're gonna see some curveballs.
Life has this way of undermining your expectations.
I got it.
When this happens, most people roll over.
Let's go.
But you're not listening to me because you're interested in the easy way.
You're listening because you've dedicated yourself to the right way.
You're not gonna meet those curveballs with a cowardly flinch.
You're gonna meet them with a mighty swing of your bat.
A mighty swing of your bat.
A mighty swing of your bat.
