I'm here to tell you:
the Purge doesn't work.
[voice echoing] I knew a woman...
a professor.
She was researching the effects of Purging...
how it changes our brains.
She ran a scientific study
looking at regular people like you and me.
You know what she found?
Proof.
Proof that Purging doesn't take away our anger,
our hatred, and our fears.
It fuels them.
The NFFA was furious.
So they decided to silence her and destroy her evidence.
Last Purge Night, the NFFA systematically killed her
along with dozens of participants in her study.
They targeted innocent people
to hide their own terrible truth,
but last Purge, they couldn't get to one woman:
Olivia Hughes.
So they killed her off-Purge
and they made it look like suicide.
The reason I'm being hunted
is because I discovered the truth.
The video you are seeing now
shows the NFFA breaking into her house.
It proves our system is corrupt.
