MAN 1 [ON TV]: First and 10 on the New York 2.

Malone hands off for a one-yard gain.

MAN 2: Can't establish their running game because Washington...

MAN 3: God will help you.

WOMAN 1: God owes me a quarter pound.

WOMAN 2: Mince and mash the garlic into a paste.

WOMAN 3: I seek...

WOMAN 4: Go, Buster, go!

MAN 4: - reputed crime boss Gaitano Cesare...

... once again avoided prison when a mistrial was declared today...

... in his eight-week long RICO prosecution.

Allegedly responsible for over 200 murders...

... Cesare has yet to spend one day behind bars.

Mr. Eugene Gordlock...

... a witness who repeatedly asked the judge to be recused from the case...

... was gunned down just a few hours earlier.

We had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Gordlock's mother.

They shot him right in our front yard.

My dear, sweet little boy.

MAN: The pained words of a grieving woman

left all alone in a city outraged by these developments.

But with no concrete evidence of tampering,

and with Mr. Gordlock now dead...

Do I fix your makeup for you?

MAN 1: What?

MAN 2: Here's Billy the Beaut.

MAN 3: You know, Soap,

the captain should have sent me out here

with 30, 40 men to raze this bloody get-out-of-jail party.

Instead, I'm stuck here with you.

Well, he might come out tonight.

As a matter of fact,

I'm pretty sure he's gonna show up.

And, uh, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna bring him in.

[LAUGHS]

You know, you kill me, Soap.

Let's just say if you can make this happen,

MAN [ITALIAN ACCENT]: Give me uno minuto.

You handled the witness situation perfectly.

No sweat, Uncle G.

You look great.

The hell I do.

I shit in a bag for chrissake.

Hey, saves you a trip to the can, right?

CESARE: You came to discuss a private matter.

Down at the docks!

Right. Yeah. Cristu Bulat.

I hear he's a sick fuck.

Fresh off the boat.

Cristu's bringing in a shipment.

He needs a safe port.

I've arranged for my customs guy, Simmons,

to be on that night.

The union boys'll be there to unload.

Our cut's 10 mil. We won't break a sweat.

Ten mil?

Fuck's Cristu shipping?

I don't know.

Some kind of biological package.

A biological package.

I fucking knew it.

Probably going up to the ragheads in Queens.

Cristu guaranteed it's leaving the city.

We don't touch that kind of shit.

In case your memory's going along with your rest bodily functions

you might like to remember I'm the top earner around here.

I'm not stupid.

Stupid?

You're as shithouse crazy as your brother,

Loony Bin Jim.

I should have had the both of you locked away.

One more word about my brother,

I swear to Christ I'll--

[GUNS COCKING] You'll what?

You make one move, you greasy fuck.

Hey, let's just all calm down here, okay?

He does not treat us according to our sins,

As parents have compassion on their children,

the Lord has pity on those who fear him.

For he knows of what we are made,

he remembers that we are dust.

As for us, our days are like grass.

We flower like the flower of the field.

And our place never sees us again.

Who compromised Donatelli?

Calm down, Budiansky. It wasn't anybody's fault.

None of us could foresee Frank Castle

opening up hunting season on La Cosa Nostra.

Come on.

All right, look,

Donatelli sent us a message.

He said something big was gonna happen.

He asked for Homeland Security.

We've been running 24-hour surveillance on Russoti.

And just as we were about to find out what the fuck is happening,

Donatelli got shot.

Believe me,

no one's more pissed off than I am.

How is it we're not all over Frank Castle?

Because we have a real national security threat.

And the last time I checked,

I heard the bureau was sending a babysitter.

Liaison.

Thirty years on the force,

I still don't know what that word means.

We have a certain way of doing things around here,

Special Agent Budiansky.

Like letting mass murderers run free?

Four years this Punisher's been wreaking havoc.

And you haven't once caught a break.

I'm waist deep in shit around here

as you can plainly see.

Your buddies from the bureau

told me the city is under some kind of terror threat.

New Yorkers are a bit sensitive about that,

if you know what I mean.

I've got all my men trying to find out

what your late colleague came across when he went under.

Maybe if you feds allowed us lowly cops

in on your undercover operations once in a while,

all of this could have been avoided.

With all due respect, captain,

that is bullshit.

[CHATTER STOPS]

What if it had been your man lying there, huh?

In a pool of his own blood?

You Krispy Kreme motherfuckers

would be beating down every door in this city.

Captain. Captain, you know what?

The, uh, Punisher Task Force, uh, could use an extra man.

Hm.

Room 12.

The basement.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[BOTH LAUGH]

Ah, Agent, uh, Budiansky? Did I get that right?

The captain told me you were coming in.

Welcome to The Punisher Task Force.

I'm Detective Martin Soap.

Pleasure.

Make yourself at home.

You have a degree in Behavioral Psychology?

Surprised?

That's okay. Most people are.

So, what do you actually do here?

Here? - Mm-hm.

This is ground zero.

I've shadowed his every step for the last five years.

I've documented every murder that fit his profile,

and I've collected intelligence on all known associates.

Take a look at this.

Six years ago,

Frank Castle was a Special Forces instructor.

And a simple family man.

One day, he takes his wife and kids for a picnic,

and by chance o-or fate,

depending on which you believe in,

they witnessed a mob execution.

When they were discovered...

[SLIDE REEL CLICKS]

But Castle survived.

And since then,

he's been taking down

one crime family after another.

I'm-- I'm really close, Budiansky.

Only thing getting in my way is some bad luck.

But I have a feeling that's about to change.

You know, I've been waiting for someone like you.

Take a look at some of the case files.

Get a lay of the land.

I'll get us a pie from Milano's.

Best pizza in the city.

Which drawer? What?

The alleged Punisher murders.

All of 'em.

We all make mistakes, Frank.

You're fighting a war against the assholes

who slip through the raindrops, who get away with it.

In any war, there's collateral damage.

You know that.

Collateral damage?

I killed an agent in the field.

One of the good guys.

He had a family.

You didn't know.

[SIGHS]

I fucked up, Micro.

Now, please.

BILLY: Where the fuck's Nicky?

He, uh,

didn't make it.

Nicky was a fucking rat.

For the feds.

What about my money?

We already went to his place and tore it apart.

No sign of a safety deposit key or nothing.

Does he got any next of kin?

Somebody that carry on the family name?

Yeah.

Papers said something about a wife and a little girl.

Good.

Let's look there.

You got it. [DOOR OPENS]

Hey, doc.

Where you been?

Am I glad to see you. Hi, Billy.

Should've seen those fucking brascioles at the clinic.

Must have bought their fucking medical degrees

off the Internet.

How the heck did you end up at a free clinic?

Insurance said I missed a payment.

Can you fucking believe that?

Okay. Um, look, before we do this,

I need you to understand

the severity of your injuries when you arrived here.

Y-you shouldn't have been able to survive this.

Well, that's why I'm here, doc.

I have the best plastic surgeon in all of New York.

Your facial muscles, tendons,

everything, was destroyed.

And there wasn't a single square inch of skin left intact.

Just take it off already.

Okay. Uh, let's do this.

[GUN CLATTERS]

[JIM SNICKERING]

JIGSAW: Nineteen.

Fuck.

Fuck!

[GROWLS] [LAUGHS]

Fuck it!

[CRASHING AND GLASS SHATTERING]

[GRACE WHIMPERING]

[GLASS BREAKING]

What was that?

Go check it out.

[GLASS BREAKING]

What the fuck are you waiting for, Christmas?

[GRUNTING]

Now, you, sit down.

BUDIANSKY: I'm calling this in.

Put your hands behind your back.

Goddamn it, Castle!

Where do you think you're going?

Castle! [GUNSHOTS]

I repeat, request immediate backup.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Give me your fucking gun.

Fuck!

[GRUNTS]

Stay right where you fucking are.

We did it, Budiansky, huh?

Would you mind explaining to me

how a handcuffed criminal escapes custody

from the back of your locked car?

That Castle's a slippery one.

You'll be safe here.

We can manage on our own.

Just until we know Russoti's been arrested.

Oh, Grace.

Grace, we're leaving soon, honey.

She's smart.

Go ahead. Open it.

[SIGHS]

It, um, belonged to my daughter.

Here.

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING LULLABY]

Wow.

Put that down, honey.

It was, um, Lisa's favorite toy.

She got so angry when her little brother

used to hide it from her.

Does she care if I play with it?

No.

[SIRENS WAILING DISTANTLY]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

You're gonna fry for killing

two of my officers, Billy.

I want a lawyer.

Oh, you'll get your fucking lawyer.

But no lawyer's gonna get you out of this one,

you ugly piece of shit.

[SNICKERING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Agent Miller, what are you doing here?

Russoti.

What's he got to do with the bureau?

The case Donatelli was working on.

He says he's got some intel, he wants to make a deal.

Anyone know where he is right now?

Just brought him into the observation room.

Good.

Yeah?

Captain Ross, Agent Miller from the bureau.

I believe you've been informed I'll be taking over this?

This perp killed two of my officers

and terrorized the widow and child

of one of your agents.

You keep that in mind, Miller.

[#]

You're lucky I came to you with this.

But then, I'm a patriot.

Just like you.

I shit red, white and blue.

The reason you came to me is 'cause you got caught.

So don't insult my intelligence, okay?

You tell me what you know.

If it's any good,

I'll recommend life without parole.

This deal is going down tonight.

I know when and I know where.

So you're gonna give me and my brother here

the immunity and the money,

or you're gonna have to explain to Wolf fucking Blitzer

why you had the lead on the thing

that killed half the fucking city

and you didn't do a goddamn thing about it.

Meow!

I'll be right back.

Oh, and Miller?

There's just one other little thing.

[#]

Wow.

Happy?

[DOOR BUZZES]

MAN 1: Go, go, go, go, go.

MAN 2: Get 'em alive.

MAN 3: Homeland Security, put your weapons on the ground.

Do it now! [SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

You're a fucking dead man.

My father will kill you, hear me?

My father will serve your head on fucking silver platter.

MAN 4: Walk down to your right.

Heh-heh!

MAN 5: Stand clear.

Agent Miller.

As agreed.

The other condition of our agreement?

Clear the area.

I hope to God he finds you and you get what you deserve.

Ooh. How long was I--?

A long time. You should eat.

Yuck! - Grace.

What is it?

Egg and cheese MREs.

It's all I have.

What's an MRE?

Meal ready-to-eat. Military food.

It's great for people who can't cook.

Look, Grace, this one came with Chuckles.

That's, um, the best one to get.

Not exactly a balanced breakfast.

Out of practice.

[METAL CLATTERING]

[GUN COCKS]

Not one more step.

Where's Micro?

His mother isn't feeling well.

He didn't want to leave her. Damn it.

I need to talk to him.

This is Carlos.

He's, uh, a friend of mine.

He's gonna hang while I take care of some things.

Hi, Carlos. I'm Grace.

Hey, little girl. We're gonna be homeys, right?

Ha-ha! Yeah, we're gonna be tight.

This will all be over soon, then you can go.

[#]

Don't go.

I need you alert.

Don't make me regret this.

[SEETHER'S "FALLEN" PLAYING OVER RADIO]

# She's wearing dresses On the borderline #

That was fun.

Now, let's go kill Castle in his miserable hole.

No, not yet.

We're gonna have ourselves a little bit of fun with this.

Next time he has to face us and a fucking army.

Where do we get the army from?

Just like Uncle Sam, bro.

We recruit in troubled neighborhoods.

Offer a hundred grand towards a college education

they'll never get and promise nobody ever has to go to Iraq.

[CHUCKLES]

Just as long as I get to kill Castle.

Don't worry, brother, you will.

Just making damn sure this time he don't come back breathing.

[SCREAMS]

Hello, sports fans.

[GRUNTS]

And how are you today, my friend?

Run! Get out of here!

Hey.

I axed you a question.

Run!

[GROANING]

You don't answer.

Guess I'll have to ax it again.

JAMES: Here I come.

[CARS HONKING]

[MACHINE HUMS]

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]

Heh-heh. Good.

Bring 'em upstairs and meet me back down here.

Let's see if we can talk a few poor bastards

into signing up.

[MAN GASPING FAINTLY]

Where are they?

[WHEEZING]

I tried. I swear I tried.

Goddamn it.

Don't die on me.

[COUGHS]

I'm bleeding out. I've seen this show before.

Shut up, kid.

You're gonna be fine.

It hurts real bad.

Hurts real bad, Frank.

Don't let me die like this, man.

Not like this.

[GASPING CONTINUES]

[GUN COCKS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

See you in hell.

I see you anywhere near hell,

I'll kick your ass out.

[GUNSHOT]

[CHURCH BELLS RINGING FAINTLY]

I haven't seen you in ages, Frank.

Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.

Maybe I'm just here to see an old friend, Mike.

Yeah, right.

I haven't seen you since--

The funeral.

I know.

I've been reading about you.

You've been a long a way from the seminary, my friend.

I don't even remember that as part of my life.

Why do you do this?

Somebody has to punish the corrupt.

For in the same way you judge others,

you will be judged.

And with the measure you use,

it will be measured to you.

Matthew 7:2.

I'm okay with that.

God be with you, Frank.

[#]

Sometimes I'd like to get my hands on God.

Interesting choice for a meeting place.

I didn't take you for a religious man, Castle.

Yeah, well, an eye for an eye.

If I remember right,

they're not called the Ten Suggestions.

Russoti's got Angela and Grace.

How?

Doesn't matter.

Well, maybe if you'd put 'em

in protective custody like you should have,

we wouldn't be having this conversation.

They'd be dead.

The law can't touch him, Castle.

Total immunity.

Unless you've got a videotape of Russoti taking them...

we can't even give him a parking ticket.

It's a fucked-up system you're sworn to protect.

Never said it was perfect.

He wants me in exchange for them.

I need you to secure the trade.

Okay,

but I'm doing this by the book.

What book do you think they're going by, huh?

I took an oath, Castle.

There are laws.

No official police procedure.

You wanna come along?

Leave your badge at home.

I have to think about it.

Clock's ticking.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[GUNS COCKING, MUSIC STOPS]

JIGSAW: Whoa, gentlemen, gentlemen. Relax.

We're looking for, uh, a few...

good men.

[#]

And we'd like to offer you the opportunity to be...

all that you can be.

Now, we've all suffered loss

at the hands of The Punisher.

And because we don't look like everybody else,

and because we don't act like everybody else,

nobody does a goddamn thing about it.

Well, I say

he ain't the only one

who can take the law into his own hands.

Heh-heh.

So if you're as sick of this cocksucker as I am,

raise your armies.

You'll be well-paid,

you'll be well-armed,

[CHEERING]

and at the end of it,

The Punisher will be dead.

MAN: Hurrah!

[SLIPKNOT'S "PSYCHOSOCIAL" PLAYING]

[#]

[GUN CLICKING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Agent Budiansky, just in time for happy hour.

You need to come with me.

Where to?

Your partner, Frank Castle, needs help.

Partner is a little bit of an exaggeration.

How'd you know?

Oh, usually, unless you've arrested Houdini,

a handcuffed criminal does not escape that easily.

You know, you're not as stupid as you--

I didn't say that.

Who are we looking for? Cristu's father.

[DOOR OPENS]

I don't think this is a good idea.

[MEN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

What?

We're looking for Tiberiu, Cristu's father.

Why?

If I were Tiberiu,

I'd probably wanna find the man

who was responsible for sending my son to prison

for the rest of his life.

And how would you do that?

I'd tell him when and where to find him.

What do you want from it?

I don't like him, and I want him taken care of.

No worries, my friend.

[SLAYER'S "FINAL SIX" PLAYING]

MAN 1: All right, lock and load. Lock and load.

MAN 2: Let's knock him down.

MAN 3: Get ready.

Here they are.

Oh, boy.

[#]

[GRUMBLING]

Take it easy, James.

He'll be here.

[BANGING ON DOOR]

You get it. - Fuck that. You get it.

[GUN COCKS] I'll get it.

What you looking for?

I'm here to see the Jigsaw.

You're out of luck. No Jigsaw here.

I'm here for the Punisher party.

Who's the old man?

That's Cristu's father.

Old-country genocidal maniac.

Figured he'd stir up a shit storm for us.

Cops will be all over this place once the fireworks start.

I wouldn't worry about that.

I called in an explosives permit.

Construction crew. Said we'll be blasting dynamite all night.

So...what's the plan?

I'm going in to get them.

You call that a plan?

It's all I need.

Well, I'm going in with you.

[GUN CLICKS]

Never took the time to think about where I was headed.

I'm far down that road.

You're not going there.

Oh, Jesus. Thanks, Frank.

You know he's gonna take it out on me when he wakes up.

If you don't hear a gunfire for longer than five minutes,

the girls are not here.

Set him loose.

Catch.

Let's play a game, what do you say?

You got one round left in there.

You shoot one of these two, I'll let the other one go free.

What do you say, Frank?

Who's it to be, your fat friend right here?

Or that nice little piece of jailbait over there?

Burn in hell.

Okay, then they both die.

Frank!

She's a kid.

Shoot me.

Okay, fuck it. Kill her first.

No! - Stop.

Not looking too good for you, fatso.

We talked about you.

Argued about you.

He said you were one of the good guys.

You know, buddy.

Maybe it's time to quit now, huh?

I mean, you must get tired of this, right?

And I think you got all the criminals in town.

If there are any left,

you gotta at least consider rehabilitation.

I mean, contrary to popular belief, people can change.

I guess what I'm saying is,

I'm just, personally, not a fan of the death penalty.

Frank?

Where did he go?

MAN: Hey.

Give me your fucking wallet, motherfucker.

You're kidding, right?
