Scenes with Chief Couper
3 scenes
[At a presidential debate]
More low-income people are killed during the Purge than anyone else. The money generated from the Purge lines the pockets of the NRA and insurance companies. Any government system that relies on violence to answer its problems must be rebooted.
Chief Couper [Watching from off-stage]
She's doing good, Leo.
It is time to call upon the better angels of our nature.
[Fortifying Senator Roan's residence]
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.
Chief Couper Looks safe.
Chief, if you tell me it's safe one more time, I'm gonna throw you down the steps.
Chief Couper Please don't do that.
[Heading upstairs]
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?
Chief Couper This is a mess. She's not gonna be happy about it.
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?
Chief Couper Duly noted. Let's lock it down.
TR Tommy Roseland
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 The rules protecting level 10 government officials have been revoked.
Chief Couper [as he watches on TV, Barnes knocks on the door]
Yeah, come in.
Chief Couper Yeah, NFFA is revoking the Purge rule that protects government officials of ranking 10 on Purge night.
Yeah, I'll secure a safehouse and full security detail on the night.
No. I'm staying home on Purge Night.
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.
