REPORTER 10:
We are now only days from this

controversial experiment,
this night of legalized crime

that people are now
calling the Purge.

And there are protests
all over.

Conflict between
anti-Purge protesters

and Purge supporters broke out
early today in North Carolina.

REPORTER 11: Yes, Susan,
I'm here in Charlotte.

There's been about
20 arrests so far,

and we'll keep you informed
as protests

are continuing.

(DISTANT SIREN WAILING)

Staten Island, the chosen site,

has become the focus
for the entire world.

We have reporters
across the island

who will be giving live updates
for the next several days.

Let's go now to correspondent
Van Jones, who's in Park Hill.

VAN: Yes, James. I'm here
outside the Park Hill Towers,

a low-income housing project,
and I can see citizens are...

Isaiah, our tower
made the news.

ISAIAH:
Are you serious?

(GROANS) Goddamn it.

(GROANS)

(SIGHS)

Dolores. Good morning.

Have you seen Tony?

My sink is leaking again.

Good morning, sweetie.

I'm so sick of this
piece of shit building.

The damn elevator's
down again, too.

As bad as my asthma is, got me
sweating like a fucking snitch.

We need five or six supers
in this raggedy motherfucker.

I'll let him know what's up
if I see him.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome, sweetie.

Hey.

This bullshit experiment
really happening, Ny?

- Talk to you later, okay?
- All right, sweetie.

The Pope has continued
his condemnation of the Purge.

And France's president,
Lemercier, has called upon...

I'll see you later, bro.
I'm out.

- I'll see you tonight.
- A'ight.

JAMES: ...if the NFFA
doesn't stop this, quote,

"barbaric experiment."

Locally, protestors
have started to gather

at the evaluation sites,

as well as outside
local government offices.

- (WATER DRIPPING)
- So far,

there has been no sign
of violence,

but tensions are high
as the clock ticks.

MAN:
Are you an angry person?

Who ain't?

Just tell me what I need to do
to get paid.

If you remain on Staten Island
during the experiment,

you will receive monetary
compensation of $5,000.

You'll give me $5,000

just to stay home
during this thing?

How would you know if I stayed?

We would implant
a tracking device in your arm.

Not harmful.

And if you decide
to participate beyond that,

there would be
further compensation.

What do you mean,
"participate"?

Go out, release your anger.

You mean kill someone?

If you feel compelled.

Okay. Let's do this.

I need the money.

NEWS ANCHOR:
Let's go to our News Four

on-the-scene reporter
at the Park Hill Towers.

REPORTER:
This is one of a dozen sites

being set up across the island
where citizens are signing up

to participate
in the experiment.

They are also being
psychologically evaluated here

to determine
their mental status

before they purge.

And they will be
evaluated again

after the experiment,
if they survive,

to see how they
were affected by the night

that is being described
as a "societal catharsis."

WOMAN:
Are you angry?

Damn straight.

People around here been making
fun of us our whole lives.

We keep to ourselves, but they
just won't leave us alone.

Are you ever inclined
to hurt someone?

What do you think, Doc?

The island was chosen
because its demographic

is a perfect representation...

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- REPORTER: There are numerous

drug and street gangs
on Staten Island.

Many are wondering
if they'll participate.

Many citizens are leaving.

For those staying,
the financial reward

seems to be the incentive.

REPORTER 2:
Despite the weather conditions,

the protesters are out.

They have their signs,
and their fists are raised.

They are against the Purge
experiment that is happening.

This is wrong!

CROWD:
Do not purge! Do not purge!

Walk away from their money!

Do not purge!

Do not participate!
Do not purge!

Do not participate!

VAN: So we are here
with Arlo Sabian.

He is the chief of staff
for the NFFA.

He got this whole thing
pushed through Congress.

Well, you got protests
all over the place now.

Please. The idea of the Purge
was analyzed for years.

We allowed island citizens
to vote on participation.

- They voted yes.
- Yeah, and you know why?

Because a lot of those people
felt coerced by the fact

they don't have money
and you're offering money.

So, what do you say
to the lower-income people

who are out here
risking their lives tonight?

Well, Van, as with
any scientific trial,

those who participate
receive payment.

You know, I'm gonna turn
to you, Dr. Updale.

You are the behavioral
scientist

who actually came up
with this whole experiment.

A lot of people have
a lot of concerns about this,

and one concern comes up
over and over again.

I want the truth from you.

Is the Purge
a political device?

I do not work for the NFFA.

I did not conceive
of the experiment for them.

The NFFA had the courage
to test it,

but the conceit
is not a political one.

It is a psychological one.

The benefit of acting violently
without worry of consequence,

- that's a freeing violence.
- "A freeing violence."

Okay, that's a...
that's a new one on me.

I have a question for you.

What is your definition
of success?

Well, the level
of participation

in certain areas is key.

Uh, the Park Hill Towers,
for example,

are the center
of this community.

If there's considerable
participation there,

I think that'll be
a strong indication

that this night
is a great success.

- Well, we'll see.
- NYA: They have monetized

- and incentivized murder.
- CROWD: Yeah!

- Walk away from their money!
- Yeah!

The wealthy areas
are already clearing,

but the NFFA knew that we,
"the impoverished,"

would stay if there
was monetary gain.

(CROWD SHOUTING IN AGREEMENT)

This is another way

to keep the brown
and black people down!

CROWD:
Yes!

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY)

- (MUSIC STOPS)
- CROWD: Do not purge!

Do not participate!
Do not purge!

Do not participate!

Do not purge!

Look at all of this.

Everybody want to be
a gangster.

You really think
these regular folk

gonna pop each other like
gangsters when the time comes?

Shit yeah. People pissed.

They ain't got no money.
They ain't got no food.

- They gotta release their anger.
- Bullshit.

They participate,
it'll be for that paper.

- Trust me.
- Nah.

People gonna riot.

They gonna steal,
act like clowns and all that,

but there ain't gonna be
that much killing.

Nah, killing comes
from the heart, B.

- Yeah.
- A damaged heart.

These people, they don't got
that type of damage.

Do not participate!
Do not purge!

- Believe me.
- Do not participate!

Do not purge!
Do not participate!

- Do not purge!
- MAN: D!

You come to see the show?

OG.

All three of you old men

Nah, we the Three Wise Men.

Oh, man.

This is the greatest shit show

They turning our island

Our hood into the Colosseum.
Now, the question is:

Are we gonna be the Christians
or the lions?

(CHUCKLES)

Stay safe, Three.

If you need anything...

We three okay, man.

We done seen it all
and then some.

We three, we've been

Hey, tough guy.

or protest?

Still fighting
the good fight, woman?

Fighting the only fight.

Oh, I see.

No cops, no law.

Sounds like a dream come true
for a man in your business.

You got me wrong
on this one, Ny.

I don't like it.

Why not?

I don't know what it is.

When I don't know
exactly what something is...

I don't trust it.

Not one bit.

(DISTANT SIREN WAILING)

quick, son.

Hey, yo, clear out, yo!

Hey, yo, come on, Isaiah.
Come on.

- Come on.
- He cut me, man.

For real?

DMITRI: I called y'all here
to discuss this experiment.

I don't give a shit what other
people do during Purge night.

I care about what you all do.

You get hurt or you die,
I lose money.

- And I don't lose money.
- Word. Word.

- And we got enemies, right?
- Yeah, true.

Niggas might use the night
to make a move on us.

Maybe the police
might use the night

to take out motherfuckers
like us.

Who knows?

Point is, we gotta
be prepared for anything.

So we lay low.

We stay inside, and we protect

- what needs protecting.
- Word. - That's what's up.

Our kin, our skin,

our product and our money.

Yo, D. We should all
just go to Brooklyn.

You know what I mean?
So we don't even take a chance.

Nah.
Nah, we can't move our money

or our stash off the island.
It's too risky.

- And it'll make us look weak.
- Come on, my G.

This is bullshit.
I want to fucking purge, man.

I want to tear shit up
and have some fucking fun.

(CHUCKLES)
For the first time in my life,

I could be
a law-abiding citizen.

MAN:
Oh!

(WHEEZING)

If you so much as blink,

Blaise will remove the skin
from your face, fat man.

She does exactly what I say.

You know why?

We're family.

I put food on her table,

and I put money in her pocket.

My only question for you is:

I put food on your table.

Why don't I get the same type
of discipline

from your big ass?

My bad, D.

I'll stay home.

Good boy.

this Purge bullshit

so we can get back
to business as usual.

We'll be protected.

by some junkie

- What? Is he all right?
- He's going to be fine.

He didn't want to go
to the hospital,

'cause he was too afraid
I was going to find out

he's been hooking school,

working the corner
for the past week.

I had no idea
he was involved, Nya.

- Oh, bullshit.
- You think I know

who works my corners?
Nya, come on. Nya.

I would never let Isaiah get
anywhere close to the business.

You know that.

I watched that boy grow up.

Why'd he... why'd he do it?

Why else?

He's sick of struggling.

He wanted to make life
a little bit easier for us

- with some extra cash.
- And I told you I would

- give you money for that.
- Stop.

I'll never take
your blood money.

You know that.

I-I tried talking to him.

Yeah.

What you gonna do?

- You gonna hurt him, kill him?
- Ny, come on.

No, no, no, no. 'Cause that's
your answer to everything.

Right? That's who you are.

Today, it was two people
we know,

but every day,
it's at least two

who are hurt 'cause of you, D.

I know no other way.

(SCOFFS) Come on.

I grew up here, too.

We all have to make
choices in life

to heal or to hurt,
and you chose the latter.

- (SIGHS)
- Don't you care

about this Purge or what it
could do to our community?

I mean...

More selfish bullshit.

Wow.

Now, the Purge is one day.

You, Dmitri,

destroy this community
364 days a year.

You weren't always like this.

The man I knew and loved
years ago

had courage and had soul.

I miss that man.

But thank you for the invite.

I, uh, uh...

We're gonna be fine
without you.

- Oh.
- Uh, um...

Stay the fuck away from us,
Dmitri.

WOMAN:
And you're angry.

ISAIAH:
Yes.

I'm angry.

Very angry.

You want to release that anger?

I need to.

Thank you for
your honest answers.

First, a few formalities.

Baptisias, the official flower
of the experiment.

They represent rebirth.

In the box,
you have recording lenses.

Contacts.

Should you choose
to actively participate,

wear them on the evening,

and they'll document
everything you do.

As I said,
greater participation

yields greater
financial compensation.

Next, we'll implant
a tracking device.

After that, you'll be all set,
as they say...

to purge.

that this socioeconomic group

is not reacting the way

Question is: Why?

I don't give a shit why.

The NFFA put a lot of faith
into this evening.

the entire regime

could be judged as a failure.

going on all over the city.

It's turning.

- MAN: Sir.

We have a breach
inside a private office.

I tracked those trucks
all the way

across the island to here:

a remote area
of abandoned factories.

Watch this now.

At around midnight,
something strange happens.

I did a vehicle search
on all systems,

and every one of these vehicles
ended up in Park Hill,

Mariners Harbor and Stapleton.

The low-income areas
of the island.

And they're attacking
crowded places:

churches, apartment buildings,
Purge parties.

The gangs know
where people are gathering

because of
the tracking implants.

How would gangs know
how to monitor

the tracking implants?

They're not gangs.

I want all this footage
on a flash drive.

SABIAN: Did you really think
you could just snoop around

- an NFFA building?
- I know what you're doing.

You're sending soldiers
into the island

disguised as gangs,
as citizens,

hunting people down
using the tracking implants.

You're making it look
like people are participating

because there wasn't
enough purging.

But they're not soldiers.

They're mercenaries
from all over.

This country
is overpopulated, Doctor.

There's too much crime,

- too much unemployment...
- Is that even true, or did you

- falsify those numbers, too?
- And a bankrupt government

that can't afford to care
for its own citizenry.

People don't want us
to raise taxes?

Our debt has tripled.
We can't pay for anything.

We, the NFFA...

we inherited all this mess.

All right,
something needed to be done.

- Not like this.
- Well, what then?

You tell me, because we
exhausted every possibility.

I need for this to work.

I need to sell this
on a country-wide scale

because this is our last hope.

You're trying to depopulate
the lower classes

just so the NFFA
doesn't have to support them.

Come on.

We both know there's...

there's no easy answer
where somebody...

some group doesn't suffer.

What have I done?

You saved us.

I thank you for it.

No. No.

Don't-don't do this.

don't need this.
