Hi.

HOWARD:

Hi. Good to see you. Yeah.

Welcome to the club.

Good to see you again.

Yes. How are you?

Thank you for coming.

Hi, guys.

Congratulations.

Enjoy tonight, will you?

Thanks.

Wonderful. Great.

Good to see you.

Glad you could make it.

Come on in.

Have a good time.

♪ (SPANISH SONG PLAYING)

Thank you.

Thanks.

Twenty years ago,

these people wouldn't even

let me in their homes.

Now they'd

elect me governor.

Smile for the newspapers,

Quentin.

It's the only thing

in Tampa I don't own.

Well, not yet.

How's your drink?

Perfect.

Where are the twins?

There's some idle

chit-chat about you

and a Russian boat.

Father would disapprove.

Well, father doesn't need

to know.

Go with him.

No.

It's my deal.

So I’m gonna

get a 3-to-1 return

on my money?

MICKY:

Bobby,

he's the real deal.

I met him at a hash bar

in Amsterdam.

He speaks Russian,

German, Arabic...

Mr. Astrov's trust

is not gained easily.

Two years it took me.

You see, Micky,

he doesn't like new faces.

So tell me, why am I

looking at a new face?

Otto Krieg,

meet my friend,

Bobby.

He's helping me

with the financing.

He's not a cop.

Let's see the money.

(CLEARING THROAT)

(BOTH SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

You like it?

Yeah, I like it.

We have deal?

We have deal.

(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

AGENT #1:

Bring them down!

AGENT #2:

Move!

Move in!

(AGENT ON SPEAKER)

This is the FBI.

Put your hands in the air.

(GUNS COCKING)

What is this?

You brought a cop, Micky,

and he brought

his fucking friends!

Don't look at me.

This is not good.

My father's gonna kill me.

You're under arrest

for the importation

and sale of

contraband firearms.

(CURSING IN GERMAN)

Gun! Gun!

Drop the gun! Drop the gun!

AGENT:

Shoot him!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Otto!

This is not my deal.

This is not my deal!

I don't even know these guys!

Cease fire!

AGENT:

Team 2, let's go.

Holy shit.

Holy shit.

Bobby.

Bobby.

AGENT:

Stay down.

I'm calling it.

It's 1:37 a.m.

Bag him and ship him.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING)

God, I hate this job.

Give me a hand, fellows.

Yeah.

Hurry up, Frank,

we gotta get you

out of here.

What the hell happened?

Who's the kid?

Well, it was definitely

not in the plan.

But we beat the spread.

This isn't football.

Yeah,

it's a figure of speech.

People weren't

supposed to die

out there.

Get them ID'd

and get them

to the morgue.

And get me my pants!

Can we get some pants

over here?

Ah, shit.

ALL:

Surprise!

To Frank Castle,

the finest soldier,

the finest undercover OP,

the finest man

I’ve ever known.

What am I gonna

do without you?

Get a girlfriend.

You son of a bitch.

Never do that again.

Remember that watch

you gave me

thirteen years ago?

Small payment

for saving my life.

Oh, hell, that Iraqi

would have missed anyway.

It was sweet

for you to wait, Jim.

Here.

Now we both have one, Frank.

Oh, Jesus, Jimmy.

(AIRPLANE ENGINE WHIRRING)

Have fun in Puerto Rico, man.

Say hello to your folks.

Thanks.

Agent Weeks.

He's Robert Saint.

Howard Saint's son.

More paperwork

for Tampa PD.

No, we can handle this.

Stay out of the casino!

What, me?

See you, fellas!

See you, buddy!

Come on.

(EXCLAIMING)

(GLASS SHATTERING)

Bail him out.

Bring him to the club.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

(DOGS BARKING)

Don't hit me. Don't hit me.

Hey, Micky.

Don't hit me.

(MICKY GRUNTING)

You sell

homegrown pot by the ounce,

Micky, not by the barrel.

You sell badly forged

fake passports to Haitians.

So what inspired you

to become

the Mr. Universe of

international arms dealers?

Micky, you should

apologize for the death

of Mr. Saint's

youngest child.

Ok, I know

how it looks.

But Bobby,

he buys pot from me.

And--and when he found out

what I was doing,

he insisted on coming in.

He put up half the cash.

He came of his own free will.

If you're gonna

kill me,

will you leave my face alone,

for my mother?

We just made your bail.

Now if I wanted

to kill you,

I would have left you in jail

where we have friends.

And in some way

that I can only describe

as deeply pornographic,

you would have been killed.

But you're

a small piece of shit,

and I don't want

the karma of your death

on my soul.

But on the other hand,

maybe I don't believe

in karma, so, guys...

No, no,

I'll tell you anything

you wanna know.

Ok, then this'll be quick.

I wanna know

one thing only.

Who brokered the deal?

His name is Otto Krieg.

And if it's

any comfort to Mr. Saint,

he's dead, too.

Well, it's not.

It's actually

no comfort at all.

But what might be

comforting to me

is to watch

the slow death of the man

who was supposed to be

taking care of my son

and making sure

that he did not

get into trouble.

Now, Micky.

What would your father

think of this?

Your father,

who gave his life for me,

what would he say?

I didn't know

it was gonna happen

like this. Please.

Well,

ignorance is no excuse.

The man who's responsible

for my son's death must die.

(MAN GROANING)

HOWARD:

I told you to never let him

out of your sight.

Mr. Saint,

Bobby told me to stay.

Tell him, John. John!

Mr. Saint,

it was Bobby's idea.

He wanted to go alone.

He thought he could impress

you or something.

Thank you for

that explanation.

My son didn't need

to impress me.

More boxes, guys.

This was a hard one.

This was the last one.

(CHUCKLING)

(SIGHING)

It's over.

Tell that to your son.

He doesn't believe me.

Where is he?

You know.

You know what I miss most

about Buck?

He could catch a ball.

No matter how hard

you threw it,

he was right there.

WILL:

Why are we always moving?

This is the last time.

You said that last time.

I did?

Yeah.

You said we were

leaving California

and we were gonna

move to Virginia,

and you'd work

in Washington

and we'd never move again.

I guess I’ve said

a lot of things, huh?

So why London?

London's a safe place

where we can all be together.

No more moving around,

I promise.

Someday when you're older,

Will,

I'll tell you

why we had to move

so much.

He was such a special boy.

Mr. Saint,

are you identifying this body

as your son, Robert Saint?

He deserved better.

Somebody lied to him.

Promised him one thing,

gave him another.

Do you know that

I used to have to dress him

till he was 13?

I would tie his ties,

comb his hair.

I'll have to get him

a new suit.

Who is Otto Krieg?

Who are the people

who work for him?

Who are his friends?

Who would stand to make

money from this deal?

Tell me.

We can't talk

about the case,

Mr. Saint.

Now, I understand your grief,

but for your own safety,

leave this to professionals.

Professionals? Yes.

I'll do that.

I'll do that.

Goodbye, son.

QUENTIN:

We called New York,

we called Las Vegas,

we called Europe

and Hong Kong,

the Sicilians in on it

HOWARD:

What about Weeks?

FBI Special Agent

James Weeks, age 37,

former Green Beret.

Recruited by the FBI

eight years ago.

Recently assigned

to the bureau's

Florida division.

Divorced. Pays his taxes,

avoids hookers.

No drug problems.

One note of interest.

He frequents

an establishment in Ybor City

owned by two of our clients,

the Toro brothers.

He gambles?

Roulette when he's up.

Blackjack when he's down.

It sounds like fate to me.

As far as

Weeks is concerned,

a man who gambles

has a history.

I can guarantee you that.

Let's go.

This is actually

you guys have seen

where the money

comes from.

You never invited me

to your house, Howard.

And I know you're

not a silver-spooner

any more than me.

So why not be social?

My son is dead.

We didn't kill him.

I didn't say you did.

I can't bring him back,

Howard.

So, if you think

I’m Jesus Christ, you came

Hey, man.

I've lived in seven cities

But I’m trying

to fix that.

You're Castle.

Used to be.

We saw you on TV.

(CLEARING THROAT)

I don't have one.

I'm Joan.

Dave's the one

We're really sorry.

Quentin Glass?

Who is this?

I have

certain photographic studies

of you and your boyfriend.

Meet me at the bar

at the Wyndham Hotel.

Bring $5,000,

and I’ll give you

the photos.

You wouldn't want

Howard Saint to see them,

Mr. Glass.

Thank you, sir.

Have a good night.

Quentin's late.

Do you know where he is?

I have no idea.

Have you seen your mother?

It's Thursday, pop.

Right. Movies.

Mr. Saint?

I know where Mr. Glass is.

I saw him pulling

into the Wyndham Hotel

a couple of hours ago.

(CHUCKLING)

That was good.

I never--

Howard? Come here.

I was just telling Quentin

about the movie.

Where have you been,

Quentin?

I've been looking

for you.

I dozed off

out by the pool.

That's funny.

What's funny?

Micky said that he saw you

at the Wyndham.

Micky should have

his eyes checked.

So he's mistaken?

Yes, Howard,

he--he's mistaken.

Oh, my goodness.

These pancakes

are really good, Joan.

What's he been doing

for the last few days?

Drinking.

A lot.

Look at this place.

Isn't it beautiful?

Howard, we had chicken

a la Havana tonight.

Very tasty.

Don't touch the Cubans.

(CHUCKLING)

Have you heard the news?

A shipment of cash

was torched

on mullet key.

Whose money was it,

huh?

Our mother

always put her cash

in the mattress,

which I thought

it was a good idea.

Till the house burned down.

It was a big fire.

She lost everything.

(CLIPPING)

That's what happens

when you don't

watch your money.

You lose everything, Howard.

Everything.

Fourteen shipments

are perfect.

One went bad

and I get this.

Why? Because you want

to scare me?

There's no insurance

in this business,

you know that.

So I’m not covering

your fucking losses.

And,

Mike, if you don't like it,

just remember one thing.

I've got more guns

than you do.

It's not even Cuban,

Howard.

It's Honduran.

They're animals.

With all due respect,

we don't have more guns.

It's my duty to--

It's your duty

to make Castle dead!

I don't care what it takes,

what it costs.

Call the Russian.

Here.

Now we both have one, Frank.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Hi.

Mr. Castle, we, uh,

need your help right now,

who's after Joan

is in her apartment

We want you

to have dinner

with us.

(JOAN CLEARING THROAT)

I know it's not thanksgiving,

but, uh, I’d like us

to all say

what we're thankful for.

I'll start.

I'm thankful to be alive

this year.

And to have a job.

And to be sober.

Yeah,

I'm thankful for my mom

getting out of jail.

You know, it's cool.

And this girl

gave me her number,

which is also cool.

Thanks for leftovers.

I'm full.

Thanks for diet Pepsi.

And thanks for

Thanks for dinner.

There's dessert.

Ice Florentine.

You have to try

my ice Florentine.

Come on, Dave.

Come on. I need your help.

(CLEARING THROAT)

No, no. I'll do that.

I know what it's like.

and I found this ticket.

Just take care of it.

Where was it?

The Wyndham Hotel.

What's that date?

September 5th.

Last Thursday.

Where did you say

Quentin was

last Thursday?

The Wyndham Hotel.

But Mrs. Saint

was at the movies

last Thursday.

I mean,

wasn't she?

Do you have a key

for Quentin’s house?

Sure.

I do his laundry.

Micky?

Get me last month's

phone bill.

Yes, sir.

(BEEPING)

Evening, Quentin.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Howard.

What are you doing here?

Jim Bowie.

Excuse me?

You know, Jim Bowie,

the colonel,

the man who died

in the Alamo.

Had a knife named after him.

He was a gambler.

And when he was accused

of cheating at cards,

what he would do is,

he would take the guy

in the other room,

move the furniture

like so.

Then he'd take his knife.

He'd throw it in the ground.

And the one that left

got the money.

Gee, I didn't know that,

Howard.

The only problem is

that you have

too much furniture.

I'm not following this.

I'm accusing you.

Of what?

Cheating.

I've never taken

a cent from you.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Where were the two of you

gonna do it next time,

You and the whore.

I don't know what

You better

pick up the knife, Quentin,

What--

How long have you

worked for me?

I’m an idiot?

Have you lost

You were my brother.

I gave you everything,

denied you nothing.

Don't do this--

Don't--

Don't do this!

Don't, don't, don't do this.

Howard! Howard,

Howard, you're killing me.

You're killing me. Why?

Why are you killing me?

(THUDDING)

How was work?

Why is that gun

pointed at me?

It's how I say hi

to everyone these days.

What did happen

to your Porsche, Jimmy?

I told you, "Buy American."

I didn't see

your fishing boat outside.

Well,

you know what they say

about owning boats.

The two happiest days

are the day you buy it

and the day you sell it.

They say that

about TVs and stereos?

Wristwatches?

I had my money

in hi-tech stocks.

Broker kept telling me,

"Don't sell. Don't sell."

I'm an old soldier.

I follow orders.

And now I’m broke.

Get off my back.

Ok, Jimmy.

I get it.

Why did you call me

the other day, Jimmy?

Why didn't you run

when you saw that

I was still alive?

How long have you known?

You mean for certain?

Enough to, say, bet on?

Not till now.

I'm sorry, Frank.

Me, too.

(CLICKING)

I'm not a betting man, Jimmy.

I'll tell you who did it.

You did it.

Saint did it!

No, you did it.

You called the other day

‘cause you're sick.

You need my help.

That's what

friends are for, right?

Well, here I am.

I'm here to help.

What are you gonna do?

I'm not gonna do anything.

You are.

Quentin?

You went to the movies

last Thursday, 8:00?

Yes.

Then at 9:00 you called him

from your car?

Must have been

a short movie.

Howard, there's--

There's an explanation.

Oh, I know.

You're fucking him.

You're fucking

my best friend.

That would be

a little hard to accomplish,

Howard.

Look at me, Howard.

Of course,

then the neighborhood was

so much more colorful.

Look at me. Howard, please.

Please, Howard.

Now it's just for whores.

You'll fit right in.

Look at that rock!

Look at it! Take a look!

I gave you that

when I had nothing.

And all I asked for

in return was loyalty.

I have been

loyal to you,

Howard.

You're not making any sense!

I'm not making sense, huh?

Here, look at this.

I found that

in Quentin’s bed.

Does that make enough sense

for you, huh? Huh?

No. No.

No?

Me neither.
