This Is Not a Test [2.01]

Esme: Without NFFA this is what our world could look like every day.

Operator: You really think so?

Esme: I've seen what people do when they think no one's watching.

Esme: Armed robbery. Call upstairs and initiate liquidation protocol.

Purge Manager: Listen up. After the final sirens, crimes can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Let's get to it, people.

Megan: So, what's this gonna be? Like a movie or somethin'?

Everything is Fine [2.02]

Announcer: Thank you for shopping Purge USA stores. We blow out, so you can blow 'em away.

Darren: If people could be addicted to violence, well then, that goes against everything the NFFA says about releasing rage and all that.

Darren: That just gives the government more reason to suppress dissent. Think about it, if they're lying about The Purge, what else could they be covering up?

Turner: Hey, what happens on Purge Night stays on Purge Night. But I did get pictures of the Suicide Bridge as proof.

Michelle: But you would never Purge anyone. Honey, you are not that kind of person.

Marcus: Well, maybe I'm changing. We almost died last night, and everything is different now. We need to know who did this. But whatever happens, I will keep you safe. I promise.

Blindspots [2.03]

Isobel: The vast majority of domestic Purges are committed by the spouse.

Farm Dude: Oh, and another thing. Preserve the meat.

Farm Dude: It's OK, kid. Not everybody has the stomach for it.

Ryan: Is this seat taken? No? Good. I'm not catching you at a bad time, am I?

Esme: Uh, d, do I know you?

Ryan: I don't know. You certainly seem to. Why were you following me yesterday?

Ryan: You know, there's a very good man is facing death because of people like you. It must feel powerful to seal someone's fate with a few simple keystrokes.

Esme: No, it doesn't. It doesn't feel good at all, but when someone breaks the law, I have no choice. It's my job.

Grief Box [2.04]

Darren: If people could be addicted to violence, well then, that goes against everything the NFFA says about releasing rage and all that.

Darren: That just gives the government more reason to suppress dissent. Think about it, if they're lying about The Purge, what else could they be covering up?

Marcus: Eli, listen. Whoever told you that Purging gets you what you want, they lied.

House of Mirrors [2.05]

Michelle Moore: Babe. Babe?

Marcus Moore: What is it? What?

Michelle Moore: We had an affair. If I could take it back, I would.

Marcus Moore: Do we have any bleach?

Michelle Moore: Please.

Marcus Moore: I said do we have any bleach?

Michelle Moore: Just hear me out. I'm trying to apologize.

Marcus Moore: For fucking someone else or trying to Purge me?

Michelle Moore: I didn't! Marcus, I had no idea he would do anything like that.

Marcus Moore: Yeah? You sure? 'Cause you were out of the bed before the assassin broke in.

Marcus Moore: Apparently they gotta check the whole building. Evacuate the dormitory. Whoever's in my house, you're not getting out alive. We're coming to get you.

Sara Williams: Let's go. This is how we die, isn't it?

Happy Holidays [2.06]

Bobby Sheridan: So before we bury ourselves, in detail, Sydney, do you really think some killer has the balls to attack off-Purge?

Sydney Rivera: Not only do I think someone is killing off-Purge, but I think we have to entertain the possibility that these murders might be a product of NFFA policy.

Bobby Sheridan: Oh, now, Sydney, you are skating on thin ice there.

Sydney Rivera: Everyone knows the Purge brings peace. It calms the inner demons. I say we don't need less Purge, we need more. How about a biannual Purge? Why stop there, Bobby? I mean, America needs a good old-fashioned cleansing.

Bobby Sheridan: I... I'm sorry. Are you serious suggesting the solution for off-Purge violence is more violence?

Sydney Rivera: Damn straight.

Bobby Sheridan: You know, Sydney, I... I get the feeling that you haven't experienced a Purge up close and personal.

Sydney: Maybe next year I can help you out with that.

Bobby Sheridan: Yeah, yeah. Sydney, you're new. [Holds out phone] You, uh, look at this. That's the Urge2Purge app. It scans the internet for active death threats. You've popped 200 since we went live. You're on fire, girl. And I don't mean to brag, but check mine out. I broke a million last week. It's been great for my brand. Truth is you're nobody in America unless somebody wants to Purge you.

Police detective: [In interrogation room] You were close with one of the victims, Andy Tran. People saw you hanging around his dorm room regularly. But on the afternoon of the murder, you were in the frat house alone?

Ben Gardner: I told you I was working on a paper and I dozed off.

Police detective: The truth isn't gonna change no matter how many times you ask. But no one can corroborate your story. You claim you fell asleep while writing a paper. You claim you didn't know anything was going on, but something isn't adding up. You know we do this for a living, Ben? We're trained to sniff out bullshit. I can tell you're hiding something. So help us help you by coming clean, and just getting it off your chest.

Should I Stay or Should I Go [2.07]

Marcus Moore: Uh, um, Clint? Uh, uh, look, yeah, I don't... I don't know what to say. Okay? I... I do my best, and then just... yeah, every time. But sometimes, there isn't anything that I can do.

Clint: I'm sorry. Don't pretend like you cared, man.

Marcus Moore: I do care. When you moved into the neighborhood, I thought for sure you'd come see how I was doing. You didn't recognize me. Treated me like a stranger. She was a pillar of this community. We all loved her. She was a saint. And the truth is you barely know any of us.

Clint: So wait a minute, so you... you agree with this guy?

Marcus Moore: I speak for the group, Marcus... But I'm a fair man.

Clint: I'll make you a deal. You get out of here tonight by midnight... and we'll consider taking the hit off your head. But if you don't, I'm the one that's going to kill you this Purge Night. You're planning revenge on the Jackals?

Marcus Moore: Not exactly.

Clint: See that box on the floor? Open that up.

Marcus Moore: What's this?

Clint: Put it on. It's time to change your look. And when we get there, I've got to talk to Doug and Sara. They're a little spooked at how much heat you have on you right now. Your team, your rules. And I have a passport guy.

Marcus Moore: Thank you, but I'm not going anywhere. Graveyards are full of heroes.

Clint: Good thing I'm not a hero.

Kelen: Please don't do this.

Ben: Why did you write this?

Kelen: I was scared. I'm sorry, but I'm so scared.

Ben: It's just because you don't understand.

Kelen: I don't want to understand. It's sick, Ben.

Ben: You're always going to be afraid until you see for yourself. I need you to do something for me.

Kelen: What?

Ben: Pick up the knife. Let me show you.

Kelen: No. No, no, no. I... I can't.

Ben: Kelen, do this for me. Pick up the knife and I'll show you. Come on! Good. Now I want you to cut me.

Kelen: What? No!

Ben: Come on. It's okay. I'll be here to help you. You just got to give yourself permission to let go of all the guilt and the fear. Come on. That's it.

Before the Sirens [2.08]

Esme: Please, just let me stay. Please.

Tommy: I don't give a fuck what you do, but you're not staying here.

Vivian: Guys, are you sure about this? We shouldn't have never run. I mean, why should we leave everything that we worked for?

Tommy: For some old psycho? Okay, you got guys like Clint all over this country. Some of them, they're running this country. But if we run now, we'll be running forever. And I ain't running. All right? We ain't running.

Vivian: Mm-mm.

Esme: I wanna say thanks for everything. The way you feel about Tommy... The way it eats at you... I'm carrying that for a lot of people I hurt.

Vivian: You know... some new person is sitting at my old desk, pressing the buttons I used to press, tagging new Tommys every day, sending good people to prison... or worse.

Tommy: And that is why I had to blow up this whole fucking thing.

Hail Mary [2.09]

[Children's show "Mrs. Lorelei's Corner" begins]

Mrs. Lorelei: All right boys and girls, let's have some quiet time now and think about our feelings. So, I've been having some worries lately, [Camera view reveals a boy playing in family room and watching the show on TV] and worries can be hard to talk about, even for grown-ups. That's why in America we have a holiday that helps people get their worries out. Do any of you know what it's called? [Children put up hands] Zoey? Something tells me you know.

Zoey: The Purge?

Mrs. Lorelei: That's right. The Purge allows grown-ups to deal with their bad feelings by giving them one night to do whatever they want.

Zoey: They can stay up as long as they want?

Mrs. Lorelei: They can stay up as late as they want, all night.

[Children exclaim]

Zoey: Can they kill people?!

Mrs. Lorelei: Yes, they can. The Purge gives your mommies and daddies the freedom to accomplish things they never thought possible.

Zoey: What if something happens to my mom or my little brother?

Mrs. Lorelei: Oh, Zoey, whatever happens, you and your brother will be perfectly safe. [Boys stares with a demented look] And if your mommy or daddy decide to purge, that's their decision, that is their right as an American. You know how sometimes you want to scream or cry or punch a pillow because [Boy starts bashing toy robot with increasing intensity] you are so...

Boy's mother: Time for lunch, honey! What are you watching?! [Boy stares at her then back at TV]

Mrs. Lorelei: Blessed be our new founding fathers, and America, a nation reborn.

Tommy: Come on, go!

Ryan: Hey, hey, we're still chained up. How are we supposed to fight back?

Tommy: They don't want us to fight back. They sold us to a bunch of rich assholes who want to Purge without the danger.

Ryan: What?

Tommy: It doesn't have to end like this. I got a friend who's gonna get us out of here.

Ryan: And how do we know this friend is gonna show up?

Tommy: Ryan's never let me down before. You got to trust me. We all have to stick together, or we're not gonna make it through the night, okay?

Ryan: Yeah, sure.

Ben: What's up, guys? Welcome to the party.

Ryan: [Being buried up to neck by Silas] First you break into my house. Now you show up on Purge Night. [Sighs] What the hell do you want from me?

Silas: You were just a random target. Tonight was just bad luck.

Ryan: Uh‐huh. So, you're telling me that... my brother died for nothing.

Silas: Eat dirt, motherfucker.

7:01am [2.10]

Client: Hi, buddy, listen, uh, having a little issue with the system you installed.

James Sandin: Well, why don't you tell me what's going on. What's going on is that my regional inspector is here, okay?

Client: I can't get the damn door open.

James Sandin: Okay, okay. I want you to know, most of the time, this does come down to operator error.

Client: "Operator."

James Sandin: That's great.

Client: Are you blaming me right now?

James Sandin: No, no, no. I'm just saying, is it possible that maybe the last time you used the door, you forgot to swipe the card?

Client: Possible?

James Sandin: I don't know, maybe, um... Yeah, well, there's your problem, right there. Just engage and disengage manually and it'll reset. Everything will be fine.

Client: Yeah, it better be.

James Sandin: It will. This is the same system I use to protect my own family. You've got nothing to worry about.

Marcus Moore: Hey. You were in the truck. We brought you here.

Ben Gardner: Guess you shouldn't have done that.

Marcus Moore: Why? These... these were good people. They were just trying to help.

Ben Gardner: Help who? Not Purgers.

Marcus Moore: What do you mean?

Ben Gardner: By treating those people out there, you're robbing Purgers of their rightful kills.

Marcus Moore: No, man.

Ben Gardner: Your patients... they're supposed to be dead.

Marcus Moore: Look... We're just trying to get through the night.

Ben Gardner: No... you're trying to play God.

Marcus Moore: But you're not God.

Ben Gardner: I am.
