## Early Life

When Miguel is ten years old, he and his little sister Penelope, who is eight years old, play by making castles with blankets and cushions. One night, their mother Maria Guerrero tells them to pick up, that dinner is ready but Miguel says "We are not finished" and Penelope says "And we want to play more." At that moment, her father Arthur arrives, Maria says to her husband "They are going to dismantle everything" and he says "Why? This is fine" and says to Miguel "Son, you have to roof the entrance. We need more towels "and Penelope says she will bring them and goes for them. Arthur and Maria have a playful fight for her to get into the "castle" and in the end she agrees. Penelope appears with the towels and hugs her parents with Miguel watching happily.

One night, Miguel and Penelope spy on a man who has come to talk to his parents about the Purge experiment and its rules. He explains the reasons for that night, Maria asks "But we will not hurt anyone despite being paid" and the man insists that they receive a check issued by the New Founding Fathers for the Purge, even if they stay home and do not participate in this. Maria says "So, we just stay at home and do nothing and the government will give us a check?". The man says yes and Arthur still has a hard time believing that they will receive $ 5,000 for staying home. Penelope asks "What do they say?" and Miguel says "I have no idea".

But everything the man said was a lie because that night, when the Purge began, the Purgers were trying to enter the Guerrero home. Penelope is paralyzed with fear and her parents tell her to go with them several times until she recovers and goes to her family. Arthur and Maria lock their children in the closet to be safe, while Miguel says "I thought we were safe" and his father says "That bastard lied to us, son. Go to the closet, quickly, hide inside." Arthur grabs a baseball bat to try to defend himself and Miguel comes out of the closet and grabs a hammer to help his father but he refuses to allow it. Miguel says "I can help you" but Arhur says "No, Miguel, listen. I love you very much and you are very brave but now I need you to help her sister, okay? Always protect her.", Miguel agrees promising and Arthur gives him a kiss and sends it back to the closet. Maria and Arthur say goodbye with a kiss and he leaves to confront the Purgers but they shoot him. Maria is horrified when she hears the shots and the approaching Purgers. Miguel and Penelope beg their mother to stay with them but she tells them "Don't look, don't look, okay? Don't go out until you hear the sirens again. Promise me that you will be together. Do you promise?", The two brothers will. They promise and their mother covers them with clothes from the closet, locks them up and turns off the light in the room. In hiding, Miguel and Penelope watch as the Purgers break into the room, subdue their mother, and kill her. Before dying, Maria begs that they let her go find her children, who are not there. After killing her, the Purgers leave and crying, Penelope says "I love you mommy. I love you very much".

Several years later, Penelope met Henry Bodreaux and fell in love with him, even though Henry was a drug addict. Miguel does not agree with the romance between his sister and Henry and wants Penelope to get away from him but she ignores him.

One day, Miguel has gotten into a fight and has a black eye and he and Penelope talk about what happened and what those responsible for the foster home will tell them: Miguel is sitting in an armchair and says to Penelope "You should see the other", Penelope replies saying "It's not funny, asshole. He can't keep hitting you", Miguel says "Why not? He deserved it". Penelope takes a bag of peas out of the fridge, hands it to her brother and says "Why not ?! Because we are out of peas". Miguel takes the bag, puts it in his eye and says "I want these because they fit my face. Shit they will not punish me again. You have to tell them I was defending your honor, okay?" Penelope sits on a sofa in front of Miguel and says "We already used that excuse the last time. It can't be", Miguel says "You're my favorite sister" and Penelope says "And you are an idiot" and they both laugh . At that moment, Penelope's cell phone rings and she looks at what it is, Miguel says "Don't tell me it's Henry". Penelope looks at her brother for a moment and looks at the phone again, Miguel insists her sister tell him if it's Henry. Penelope turns to Miguel and says "You don't even know him", Miguel says "Hey. He deals with drugs", Penelope answers: "I don't need your permission. You're not my father" and the two remain silent.

One day, Miguel sees Henry abusing and beating Penelope and runs to help her. Miguel pounced on Henry but he frees himself and gives kicking Miguel despite Penelope's pleas for him to stop. Miguel picks up a stone, the size of his hand, and hits Henry with it in the eye, scarring him permanently and blinding him in the eye, causing severe bleeding. Now being also on the ground from the pain, Miguel pounced on Henry, holding him to the ground and hitting him fiercely in the face until he was bloody and bruised. Penelope yells "Stop Miguel," she grabs her brother and knocks him out. She walks away from Henry yelling "Enough Miguel, you're going to kill him". She grabs him and says "Look at him well. You could go to jail" and Miguel looks at the wounded Henry.

A few days later, those responsible for Miguel and Penelope found out what he had done to Henry and informed him and Penelope that they had joined the Marines and would send him away in a few days. Penelope gets angry and depressed with her brother because now she was going to be alone. The day he is going to leave, Miguel is going to say goodbye to his sister and tries to console her by taking her hand but Penelope walks away from him. Miguel says to cheer her up "Eh, how are you? You always tell me to stop fighting. Now they will pay me to do it", Penelope looks at him sadly and asks "What are you doing here?". Miguel, wanting to say goodbye properly, says "Penny I'm leaving", she says "I know", Miguel says "It may not come back", Penelope, still sad, says "You knew. One more mistake and It will all end. They will take you away and I will be alone", Miguel says "You will not be alone", Penelope responds "I already am, Miguel". He tries to speak but Penelope cuts him off saying "Listen, they are taking you to war", Miguel tells him "I will send you money for a house. I will do things right. I promise", Penelope asks "How? Leaving or never coming back?", Miguel says "I love you. I'll be back soon, okay?" and he looks at his watch and says "I'm going to miss the bus", Penelope sadly orders him: "Get out." Miguel leaves while Penelope cries at being separated from her brother.

I am afraid. It happened in all the Purges. But I learned a trick in the marines. One day, the bad guys surrounded us and our sergeant realized that we were afraid. You know what he ordered us to? Shake hands. "The boy does not believe it but Miguel says "Yes. He told us that it was already proven that if you shake someone's hand your fear is reduced. Can you imagine the panorama.

You shouldn't be fighting a stupid war." and Miguel answers "Luckily for you, I'm back and now tell me where Henry is and no bullshit, asshole."

Miguel goes to Pete and says "Hey, I know these have come to see you but I'm in a hurry. I'm looking for someone who can die today", one of the clients says that live or die is the only option tonight. Pete tells him "All in order, Cam will meet you outside" and he leaves. Pete turns to Miguel and says "Listen? I see you're screwed but I'm not an NGO. What do you have for me?", Miguel says "I have a car", but Pete rejects him, Miguel offers him his gun but Pete says "I have more weapons inside than the entire Albanian army. If I had a heart, I would suffer for you".

Desperate, Miguel asks all the bar customers if they have seen the bus or Penelope. Pete says "The boy is persistent", one of his friends informs Pete that Miguel survived Ottis's death. Pete, interested, asks him "And did the car beat Ottis?" and his friend affirms it. Pete walks up to Miguel and says "Hey, kid. Ok, let's talk about your car" and takes him to the surveillance room where you can see several streets. Miguel asks him "How do you have access to this?", Pete says "When you spend so much time on the street you end up making friends", Miguel tells him "Because they kicked you out" and tells him that they should call him "Pete the ex-cop" . Pete is amused by that comment and Miguel sees the cult bus on a monitor. Pete asks "What's in there for you to risk dying?" and Miguel says to him "My sister and I am not going to die", Pete warns him that this sect and its leader are dangerous and that the desperate ones cling to it as if it were a god. Miguel says "My sister is not desperate, even if she has suffered" and asks if she has a family. Pete tells him "I lost my brother in the Purge a few years ago. I opened this site for him. If you can't stop them from killing themselves, give them a safe place to think about it." Miguel sees that the camera has lost the bus and tells him to focus on another camera but Pete tells him that there are no cameras in the place where they are going but shows him a map of the city showing the complete route that the bus takes each year. As they inspect the map, Miguel says "Fuck, it looks like a peace symbol" but Pete says "Yes. Tavis sells peace but only offers death. He'll stop a mile away." Miguel looks at Pete for a moment before going to find Penelope.

Pete walks Miguel outside and is impressed by the car Miguel has given him. Pete says "When you said about the car, I didn't know you were talking about "the car". My God, a 1971 Chevelle SS. More than 8000 cubic centimeters and 461 horses. A car with eggs. I've loved it since the first challenge", Miguel he says to Pete "Well now it's yours" and gives him the keys. The ex-cop notices Miguel's marines tattoo and asks him "Are you a Marine?" Miguel says "Recognition", Pete says "First battalion in Beirut", showing that he was too. Miguel says "Damn. I heard how fucking you had it. And they denied you the merit", Pete tells him "Yes, but, you don't become a marine for glory. Come in to get dirty", Miguel says "I'm ready" , Pete tells him, "The quickest way is down through Washington, to cut them off on 7. Go away". Miguel and Pete shake hands and he says "Semper fi, boy", Miguel thanks him and leaves.

Miguel runs down the street, hearing voices, he stops when he sees a man tied to a tree and a car with two men goes towards him but a van appears behind Miguel, the driver says "Hey, get in. Pete sent us. We have to go, run. ", Miguel gets into the van and it leaves. Inside, Miguel thanks them and asks who the people in the car were. They explain to him that they are revolutionaries, because they hate the Founding Fathers. Miguel asks "Are you in the army? Who have you pissed off to be sent?" and they tell him that they are from the press, they are autonomous and document the Purge so that the more Americans see it before I finish but Miguel tells them that it does not matter who sees it and what they see, nothing will change. One of them says "I will take the recordings to my country so that it never happens there" but Miguel tells them "You are dreaming, okay?

They don't give a shit. I am an FMO. And this only gets worse every year. "They are surprised to be in front of someone from a original martyr family and one of them takes out a camera to interview him, he says "I'm here with an FMO, from an Original Martyr Family, who was in Staten Island, New York, in the first Purge. For those of you who are watching us in my country, what was your life like before the Purge? ", Miguel says," I used to play baseball. Much. He had a family. A big family. I was ten years old. My sister and I used to make pillow forts with our father ", he asks if he would like to go back but Miguel, unable to bear the memories of his family, orders him to turn off the camera and says" The Europeans think you better for not having the Purge "And he tells her that the Europeans invented the Purge. Miguel hears something and looks out the window to see two Purgers with their two victims. One of them asks him" What are you out? ", Miguel tells them" My sister . It's the only thing I have left in the world. "They park in an area near the bus but refuse to accompany Mike to the bus even though they insist that his parents would be very proud of him. Miguel thanks them for bringing them him. and gets out of the van to look for Penelope.

Miguel goes down the street and sees a Purgador shoot a man and shoot a car until it explodes. Miguel comes across a caravan led by men disguised as nuns. He tells them "I'm not coming to fight. I'm looking for a bus", one of the nuns points a finger at him, Miguel goes there and "the nuns" leave. Miguel sees the bus when it begins to move, stands in front and stops it, threatening with his gun. Miguel, yelling, "Penelope. Penelope Guerrero, are you there. Pen. Where is Penelope?", Tavis gets out of the bus and says "Good Purge" and Miguel comes in and asks where his sister is. Soon he sees that she is not even on the bus, he gets out of it and threatens Tavis with his gun if he does not tell him where Penelope is. Miguel asks "Have you killed her?", Tavis says "No, I wanted her", Miguel asks him "Where is she?" and Tavis tells him that the nuns have taken her. Miguel is speechless when he realizes that must be the nuns he has met before. Tavis and his cult leave on the bus.

### Season 1, Episode 4: Release the Beast

Miguel goes back to Pete's bar and when he sees him he says "Fuck, where is she?" Miguel tells him that when he got on the bus, some guys disguised as nuns had already taken Penelope away. Pete tells him "I know where they are", Miguel tells him that he will go where they are, despite Pete's objections. Miguel says "Come on, man. She's my sister. Please. I've given you everything I had. The car. Hey, I don't have anything left. Help me" and Pete takes his cell phone and calls someone.

At the bar, Miguel sits on a stool until he sees a man dressed as a cowboy, who greets Pete, he says to Miguel "That's it", Miguel asks him "Do you say the cowboy knows where the nuns are? ", Pete says" The purge unites strange companions ", gives Miguel a drink and tells him that if he gives it to the cowboy, he will take him where his sister is. Miguel asks "How much do I give you?" but Pete tells him "Getting into Rex's land is not doing you a favor. Invite the house", Miguel tells him "There is nothing free in the Purge", Pete tells him that this year he is the one who prevents him from the Purge leave cold and every year there is always something that prevents it. Miguel thanks him but Pete says "give them to me if you come back safe and sound", Miguel tells him to bring Penelope tomorrow and introduce her but Pete tells him that tomorrow he closes the bar and leaves. Miguel goes to talk to Rex and hands him what Pete has given him for him.

Rex opens the fraco, pours the drink into the glass and drinks it. Then he tells Miguel "I think you have problems with some nuns", Miguel asks him "Are you going to help me?", Rex tells him that the nuns will be at the Blood Carnival, Miguel says "Then I'll go there", Rex says that Pete has told him he has no money, Miguel does not deny it. Rex tries to speak but Miguel tells him to tell him where he is and to go in alone. Rex says "First life lesson: If someone is helping you, don't interrupt them", Miguel says "Okay, will you help me?" and Rex says "For Pete yes but I'll just do that. Going out is up to you", gets up and leaves the bar and Miguel follows him.

Rex takes Miguel to the Carnival of Blood in his car. Mike tells him where she lived when they pass by, Rex says "This is the fourth time I've heard you say that tonight", Miguel tells him "They were foster homes, some were not good. I always nagged her. I got in trouble and I took things. Penelope always paid my bail. She was the only one who was by my side", Rex tells him "Second life lesson: stop living in the past. What is your future, little soldier?", Miguel tells him that he has never thought about it and Rex tells him to start thinking about it and asks him what he will do when he leaves the army. Miguel says "I don't know" and Rex tells him that he was dedicated to "Customer Service", they both laugh when Rex does a bad imitation and explains to Miguel that he wanted to be a cowboy and one night of Purge, he was and he got enough money to quit his job. Then Rex changes music and tells him that "I take this music with me so I never waste my life again", he takes the music away and says "Maybe you need to be reminded of that." Miguel tells him "I've always wanted to be my boss. Open a motorcycle workshop in my neighborhood. Work with my hands, take things apart, put them back together. Do something useful", Rex says "Very good. You finally set up that workshop, I'll be your first client", Miguel laughs at what Rex has said.

On the way, Miguel and Rex meet several people armed to the teeth who have cordoned off the area with their cars, fences and trucks. Miguel tells him "Turn around" but Rex says "It's not necessary. Believe me they won't do anything to us". Rex stops the car, Miguel tells him "I've heard of them. They fight the New Founding Fathers", Miguel tells him that they only want to kill rich people. One of them approaches to inspect them, Rex lowers the window, the man inspects them, a woman says that they are clean and they order that they let them pass. The men pull their trucks aside to let them go on their way.

Miguel and Rex are driving and Miguel tells him that in the cemetery he lost his virginity, they both laugh and Miguel recognizes that it is a joke. He hears some knocks coming from the trunk of the car and asks Rex: "What was that?" He tells him that it is a delivery for the Carnival of Blood. Miguel is horrified when he hears that and when he continues hearing the knocks in the trunk he says Rex "You are a collector", Rex looks at him and says "Third law of life, boy: Living your dream is not cheap" and turns up the music to car so as not to hear the knocks of trapped people. Miguel is speechless and not knowing what to do.

### Season 1, Episode 5: Rise Up

In the car, Miguel and Rex hear people trapped in the trunk. Rex orders them to be quiet. Miguel asks him "Why are you taking them?", Rex says "They are my landlady and the asshole of her son. Year after year they raise my rent. It is time to teach them a lesson." Miguel asks him "And what is going to happen to them?", Rex explains a little what happens at the Carnival of Blood and tells him that thanks to men like him, everything that happens there is possible. Miguel, annoyed, says "Some guys like that have my sister", Rex tells him "This is the game, boy. I don't make the rules", Miguel responds "Well, they will have to be dealt with." Rex stops the car near a woman who forces a tied man to swallow garbage through a funnel. The collector tells Miguel "I like you. You have a heart and I admire that. But this is my way of making a living and when someone threatens it, it threatens my subsistence and I cannot allow it. Do you understand?", Miguel says to him. "I understand. It's clear", Rex says "I know what you think, soldier. Don't get involved in this matter", Miguel repeats: "I said I understand" and orders him "You take me to the fair" and Rex says "Yes sir", start the car and go back to the fair. When they move, Miguel remembers his life with Penelope before they separated.

A while later, Rex stops the car again and mockingly asks those in the trunk "Are you still alive in the back?". Miguel, unable to bear it anymore, draws his weapon but Rex anticipates and hits him on the hand, disarming Miguel and punches him. Miguel punches him back and gets out of the car before Rex shoots him. Rex gets out of the car and looks for Miguel but he is on the roof and jumps on Rex, grabs his neck with his arms and suffocates him until he is unconscious but does not kill him. Miguel frees the prisoners in the trunk of the car, the landlady and her son look at him scared but Miguel assures them that he will not harm them. They get out of the car slowly, still keeping some distance from Miguel, who takes a rope from the trunk, walks over to Pete and ties him up. The woman asks "What the hell are you doing?", Miguel, referring to Pete, says "I need him alive", the woman asks "And what do we do now?", Miguel says "Hide until morning". Seeing that Miguel was going to abandon them, the son takes his gun and threatens Miguel telling him that they are keeping the truck but he takes the gun away from him, points at both of them and tells the son "Never betray whoever saved you ass" and orders them to leave, to find an ambulance. They leave and Miguel re-inspects Pete and finds the card that gives him access to the Carnival of Blood.

Miguel arrives at the building where Pete was going to leave the landlady and her son. The guards open the door for him and Miguel stops halfway through. A guard approaches the window and orders him: "Give me your card". Miguel does so but the scanner gives a failure and the guard orders him to wait. Miguel fears that they have discovered him but the guard reveals that his scanner has been failing all night, he swipes the card again and this time it does not fail. The guard returns it and says to Miguel "Go ahead. Leave the gun in the truck". In the building, the guards remove the unconscious Rex (Miguel has tied him up and taped his mouth so that he cannot move or speak) and leave him on a stretcher. A guard examines Rex and tells Miguel "Nice booty man. He's strong" and pays Miguel the money for Pete and gives him a voucher for the Carnival auction. Two other guards take Pete away and Miguel leaves too.

Miguel arrives at the Carnival of Blood. Thanks to Rex's card, the guards let him pass and inside he watches, with horror, what is done in that "fair". Miguel reacts when a fellow Marine named Dale calls him. Miguel approaches Dale, who asks him "What are you doing at home?", Miguel says "I'm on leave. What are you doing?", Dale says "Purging one day helps me stay focused the rest of the year. Try it, brother", Miguel rejects him saying "We are soldiers. We do not hurt civilians. No, this is not for me" and Dale returns to the store where he was to shoot the "civilians".

Miguel looks for Penelope at the Carnival until he hears her voice and Henry's in a store. He runs to the store but the guards, who had recognized Pete as a collector and Miguel as the one who had delivered Pete, stop him.

Take a look at the videos. You have to know what it is about" but Miguel protests saying: "No, I have to go, okay? Penny is out there and who knows what that guy is doing to her". Pete says: "If you go out without being ready, two things will happen: One, you will die. Two, she will die. If he didn't kill her, it's because he wants her for something. Let's do this together as two professionals". Miguel calms down a bit and Pete says, "Let's go" and the two of them enter the bar.

In the surveillance room at the bar, Pete checks the cameras to see if he finds anything that would reveal the identity of the kidnapper. Miguel, getting impatient, asks Pete: "How long is it going to take?" and Pete responds, "Whatever it takes." Miguel tells him: "It has to be from the fair. The guards may have followed us" but Pete says: "No" and explains who he could be: "It was a homemade armor. It had no reinforcements. It sure was a lonely wolf".

Wherever they live, people are similar. Don't be fooled by their fences" and turn the car to the left at a crossroads and keep saying "Wherever you are. People are the same". Pete notices and sees that at the end of the street, a group of disguised women have set up a barricade. Pete says: "What's that?" gunshots ring out and Pete keeps saying "A barricade. Oh fuck" and stops the car in front of the women. Pete says to Miguel: "Stay here. I'll go" and gets out of the car. A woman orders him: "Hands up", Pete closes the car door and approaches them with his hands raised. Two of the women jump the fences they have put up and tell Pete that there is a toll, he tells them: "I have nothing to negotiate. Weapons, but ... I need them", the two women take off their masks and one says: "Just like everyone else", the other says: "Come on. Your car, your gun ... Give us something". Pete says to them: "I'm Pete", the woman who spoke the first time says to him: "And I Betty. Pay" and she and all the women point their guns at him. Miguel gets out of the car to help Pete but he makes a gesture with his hand to stay where he is and says: "I'm Pete the cop", the girls lower their weapons and begin to whisper among themselves.

Something very personal. I respect the rights of all of you who participate but I ask you to let me pass", Betty looks at her partner and says: "Okay, we will raise the fence.
