Leo Barnes This is how it's gonna go now. Like you said, fate of the country's at stake. Okay? It's my show now.
Look, I'm not an idiot. I know what you're capable of. I'm the one who hired you. But if I see something I don't like, I'm not gonna be quiet about it. It's not in my nature.
Leo Barnes I want men in there. I want men in there. I want a lot of men back there. Well, she's got some security, but I'm revamping the entire thing. We got new barricades on all the doors, all the windows back and front.
Looks safe.
Leo Barnes Chief, if you tell me it's safe one more time, I'm gonna throw you down the steps.
Please don't do that.
Leo Barnes Men here. Men here. We got a security monitoring system in this room. We got eyes and ears on everything. This is her safe room. She is not to leave her safe room. No one is to go inside her safe room. Do we understand each other?
This is a mess. She's not gonna be happy about it.
Leo Barnes I don't care if she's happy, Chief. And I want to go on record as saying this is a bad idea. No matter what we do here, this house and this Senator are at risk on Purge Night. You understand me?
Duly noted. Let's lock it down.
What made you apply for this position?
Leo Barnes I like your politics.
No. No bullshit. I want a real answer.
Leo Barnes 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... you have a big problem with how I do things.
Leo Barnes 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.
The New Founding Fathers believe in fairness. And we hear what the people are saying. That the Purge benefits the rich and the powerful. That was never the intention. From this point on, no one is exempt. The rules protecting level 10 government officials have been revoked.
Leo Barnes You seeing this?
Yeah, NFFA is revoking the Purge rule that protects government officials of ranking 10 on Purge night.
Leo Barnes Yeah, I'll secure a safehouse and full security detail on the night.
No. I'm staying home on Purge Night.
Leo Barnes Senator, I don't think that's a good idea.
If the voters get wind that I'm hiding in a fortress like some rich asshole, I lose votes and the NFFA wins. I stay home like 99% of the population. Make it safe. Whatever it takes.
Leo Barnes Someone is coming for you.
What?
Leo Barnes Put that on.
Leo, the house is surrounded...
Leo Barnes Move, move!
I'm moving. What are you... you said you had men on the roof. You have snipers.
Leo Barnes Not anymore. Not anymore.
What do you mean not anymore?
Leo Barnes Someone betrayed us.
What?
Leo Barnes I can't trust anyone. Put on that vest. Listen to me. This isn't a drill. Someone's coming to kill you. You understand me? Move.
Moving. [He uncovers a hidden escape hatch in the floor] What the...
Leo Barnes Go!
Okay, what the hell is that?
Leo Barnes That's my little secret. Move.
Leo Barnes Place is moderately secure. Cameras. Maybe we stay here.
"Maybe we stay here"? Where you going? You going back out there?
Joe, do you have a first aid kit? Leo, my security, was shot.
Leo Barnes I'm fine.
You're not fine.
Leo Barnes I'm fine.
You're not. Sit. You want me to take it off?
Leo Barnes It's okay. It's nothing.
Yeah? Doesn't look like nothing.
Leo Barnes Let me see. Let me see.
I know a little bit about first aid. I could help you. [Checks wound] The bullet's deep. You need stitches.
Leo Barnes Yeah.
But we can't do that here.
Leo Barnes Right. Clean it up. Patch it up. Come on. Move.
Leo Barnes What's your name, pal?
You know what, Mr. Secret Service Man? You should be thanking my black ass for helping you instead of interrogating me.
His name is Joe Dixon.
Leo Barnes Joe Dixon, have I offended you?
Yeah. Yeah, man, just a little bit.
Leo Barnes Your feelings are not a concern of mine.
Little respect. That's all I need.
You stupid mother****er! You should have let us take the candy bar! Now you're ****in' gonna pay for it, you stupid son of a bitch! Whoo! It's a good night to Purge, isn't it?
Oh, hell!
Who the hell is that?
The looters I was telling you about.
Leo Barnes Purge Night, Senator. What did you expect?
How the hell did it get to this?
Leo Barnes Who is he? Why is he cuffed?
Rondo. Two bullet holes delivered by a rival gang, but he's a good kid. He's chained up 'cause I didn't want him Purging anymore. So, Senator... NFFA made a move on your ass.
Seems that way.
Goddamn conniving, duplicitous, crooked, cocksucking politicians.
Agreed. We're not all that bad.
My experience, Senator? My people are on our own, no matter what you all say or promise.
I'm kind of confused here. Who the hell is this lady?
You big dope! You give people from the neighborhood a bad name.
Hey, guys! I got your message.
Laney!
This is our girl.
Leo Barnes: Go, go, go!
Leo Barnes Where do we go?
The van!
Leo Barnes Go.
Come on, Joe.
I'll be with you in a minute. I'll be there.
Joe, come on.
You get out of here, kid. I'm staying.
They'll kill you.
Go now!
If you stay, I stay.
Just leave.
Joe, listen to me. For some reason, the Senator ended up in our neighborhood, in your deli. Maybe it's our duty to help protect her. We'll rebuild the deli. Whatever it takes, you and me. I promise.
What's going on?
Leo Barnes Just doing my job.
Senator, it's just a misunderstanding. Why don't we go back outside? Come on.
Leo Barnes Yes, Senator.
Senator, why don't we go outside...
Stop. Those are the Minister's biggest financial supporters. The NFFA. Our Lady of Sorrow. Is... is that where the Minister is going to be tonight for the Purge Mass?
We believe so.
You believe... what is all this? Why do you have all this? [Realizing] You're gonna assassinate him. You're gonna assassinate the Minister tonight, aren't you?
Dawn called. Told me you guys were coming through. So, the NFFA came at you tonight? Can't say I'm surprised. Let me show you around, get you settled in.
You set all this up, Mr. Bishop?
Yes, this is my organization. We have doctors, and nurses, EMTs, paramedics. This is their way of protesting this damn night.
Leo Barnes How many people know about this place?
Just the volunteers, and the homeless that we invite in. Look, these are the real victims of the Purge. The people that the NFFA are trying to eliminate so that they don't have to take care of them anymore.
Leo Barnes These men that are armed, you'll have them at all the entrances and the rooftop?
Yes. My men will keep you safe. Or as safe as you can be on Purge Night.
It doesn't make any sense. There was no way they could've known we'd be in this van.
Leo Barnes Doesn't matter. They did. [Realizes something] You son of a bitch.
Leo? [Picks up a pair of surgical tongs] Leo?
Leo Barnes Move.
Leo. [Digging into his bullet wound] Oh! Leo, what the hell are you doing? Leo, what...
Leo Barnes Trace bullet. That's how he found us.
You okay, Senator?
No, Marcos. I'm not. This night corrupts everyone.
Leo Barnes Senator.
I can't win like this. It goes against everything that I believe in.
Leo Barnes We need to focus on one thing right now and that's survival. I need to make sure you get through this night.
I have to stop them from killing the Minister.
Leo Barnes What?
If they assassinate him, he becomes a martyr. We lose.
Leo Barnes Yeah. And how do we do that?
I don't know. We have to do something.
You cannot do this. I need to win this thing fair and **** square.
They are not playing fair and **** square and neither should we.
Leo Barnes This church will be locked up like Fort Knox. You'll never get through. You're gonna get slaughtered.
Four churches were built on that site. The original by your boy George Washington over 200 years ago. The man liked to have escape tunnels attached to all his structures. They're all over D.C. The tunnel under the original church has been closed up since the '50s. But we reopened it. We're gonna walk right through there and into that church without anybody even knowing it. The original Founding Fathers are about to **** over the New Founding Fathers. Now how you like that for irony?
Leo Barnes How'd you know where this mass is gonna be?
Because we do whatever it takes. We did this for you, Senator.
No, it's not for me. Get your boss on the phone. I need to talk to him.
He's not here.
Angel, listen to me. You call him. You tell him he does this and the Minister becomes a martyr. I cannot have my presidency built on murder. You see that.
He will not leave this to the voters. He does not believe in the American system.
Angel, believe in me. I can make this happen.
We do. That's why we're trying to pave a way for you to the White House so you can make changes.
You're gonna cost me the White House.
