<P> Navigating the hostile streets of Washington D.C. , Barnes and Roan attempt to seek shelter , but are ambushed by a gang of Purgers and taken captive . Before they can be executed , Joe and Marcos kill the gang , having seen the pair 's plight from the store 's rooftop . As they take shelter in the store , the teenage girls return with reinforcements . However , Laney runs over their leader and kills half the group . As the other Purgers threaten to break in , they leave for a safer hideout . The team is ambushed by Danzinger in a helicopter , and seeks refuge beneath an overpass wherein Barnes realizes they were tracked by the bullet lodged inside him , and manages to extract it . After a confrontation with a large number of Crips , the team helps their leader 's injured comrade . In return , the Crips plant the bullet in another area to divert the paramilitary team , which they later eliminate . </P>
