Marvel's The Punisher

Jesus Christ.

Kid! It's Frank.

Frank. Frank.

- Frank, she wants to arrest you. - Just give me the gun, kid.

She's gonna sell you out.

Hey...

give me the gun.

It's okay.

It's okay, kid.

Where the hell were you?

Went to get some advice.

Yeah? By who?

My wife.

Well, did she tell you how out of line you were?

Are you really here to take me in?

Or you just didn't have any other place to go?

Yeah, her and everybody else, Frank.

And whose fault is that?

Nobody really likes making their Friday night the Punisher pity party,

you know what I mean?

If you had asked me once,

I would've told you I was pretty much just like anyone else.

And all I really gave a shit about was that my family was healthy or happy.

But I lost them.

Everything changed.

I thought... I thought I became something different.

But last night...

I had a little chat with my wife.

I sat by her grave, and I realized something.

This is always who I was.

And Maria...

she knew.

She knew what I was.

She loved me anyway.

Yeah.

I'm just...

I'm not like you people.

You know, I can do things you can't do.

Whatever that makes me...

it makes me.

This.

It has to end, Frank.

Who's gonna end it, though?

You?

Mahoney?

You gonna take Bill to jail?

This billionaire asshole who's coming after her?

These people, they... they won't stop. They can't stop.

They don't give a shit about your law.

So what the hell am I doing carrying this badge?

Yeah.

I can't answer that for you.

I don't have answers for any of you.

Then what are you asking?

Let me be what I'm meant to be.

Serpent Five, this is Serpent Six. Go for launch.

Serpent Six, this is Serpent Five, we are waiting at the door.

Copy, Serpent Five, you're a go for action.

Copy, Serpent Five, you're a go for entry.

You know this can't last forever.

You're too smart not to.

Okay.

But that doesn't mean we can't make plans.

For after.

At some point, enough's got to be enough.

It all has to be for something.

It will.

Police say four people are dead and three wounded

in a gang-related gun battle that broke out in a Lower East Side housing project.

Some are calling it the major salvo in a gang war,

one of three such raids in the last 24 hours.

With the money, we can go anywhere...

be anything we want to be. Together.

And we will.

I promise.

But you have to let me deal with Frank first.

It has been a violent and bloody 24 hours

here in the New York area as three separate...

Gang activity is on the rise in New York,

- as multiple fatalities... - A bizarre scene,

witnesses report seeing a gang in frightening masks.

Fellas.

Two months.

According to police, the men gunned down everyone inside the building

and made off with nearly a half million dollars in contraband.

...making off with more than half a million in cash, drugs and weapons.

Don't let Frank define who you are.

Look at me.

Really look.

I have to know why he wants me dead.

I have to know.

No, I'm good.

Hey, come on. Sit down. It's not a big deal.

- Dude! Get... get off of me! - I'm testing the merchandise.

I'm not merchandise, asshole! Get your hands off of me.

- Listen, bitch... - Moke!

Play nice with our guests.

This new driver is supposed to get me an extra ten yards.

So far, it's not the game changer I thought it would be.

Perhaps I'm misplacing my faith. Hmm?

The scrutiny Castle is under worries me.

If the police apprehend him or the girl, they may try to leverage what they have.

And what is that?

Do you have faith in me, John?

I do.

Well, these are testing times.

I think we need to take radical steps.

I want you to use your old contacts here, in the city.

Set a bounty on Castle and the girl.

Turn this city against them.

It's better that I do it myself.

It's good that you have such faith in yourself, as do I,

but we cannot afford pride at this moment.

Castle shot up a city street in broad daylight.

We're way past the time for keeping things quiet.

It's risky, me opening old doors.

You're not the man you were.

John, I just want to get ya home.

Rebecca's fortitude is a wonder. Her spirit is so strong.

And they put on a... a great face when you're not there, your boys.

No one knows how much our families need us.

Any of us.

All the things we do for them that they can never know.

You'll be home soon, God willing.

Yes, God willing.

Now let's finish it.

Let's get ya home.

...Six, this is Kingdom Five.

We're northbound on the Phase Line Jupiter.

Two clicks out from OBJ Zebra.

They're staying within a certain area.

Yeah, it's probably a radius from wherever they're based.

Kingdom Five, this is Kingdom Six,

we are Molotov at this time.

What's Molotov?

We use certain words to indicate operational steps.

Molotov means they're in position with their target.

Yeah, Curt.

Okay. Yeah, I'm on the move.

Let's go! Let's go!

Shit.

Well, now I know why we don't see you home so much.

We do have golf courses there, too, you know?

Your mother often wonders if you came to New York for the job,

- or you took the job for New York. - Both.

God damn it!

Now, now, Dad.

What would the faithful think if they were to hear you blaspheming?

Well, son, you see, there's two kinds of blasphemy.

There's the ones that people are happy to forgive, and...

then there's the stuff that they aren't.

Here we go.

I think people might surprise you.

Times have changed.

Yeah, not that much, and you know it.

I don't like surprises.

Surprises mean you haven't prepared. I like to be prepared.

What you like is to be in control.

Yes.

Very nice.

I'm just wondering why the visit?

Unless it's to nag me about finding a wife for party optics.

When was the last time we had a conversation about my life

that didn't sound like campaign strategy?

When was the last time you just asked me if I was happy?

Happy? What the hell is happy?

Son, we are in a position to change this country for the better.

People take a look at you, and they see an example they want to follow.

People want to believe, David, in something.

Because it's a terrifying world to be alone.

So they need faith.

They take a look at me, they see all that I've achieved,

and it makes sense.

How could I have all of this if God hadn't chosen it for me?

It's a question I ask myself every day.

We are living proof that faith is rewarded.

See?

David, I want you to come home for a little while.

Talk to some people. Donors. Press flesh.

Just a couple of weeks, that's all.

Just to get some things out of the way.

What is so important right now?

Yeah?

Nice suit.

I heard about you.

The man with the five million, am I right?

I'm kind of insulted you didn't come here first.

- Does that mean you don't want to talk? - No.

No. Just sayin', word travels fast.

Would have liked my guys to have a head start.

I thought this guy was dead already.

Now I know why you're offering so much.

I want Castle and the girl alive.

Tell me where they are or bring them to me.

How alive?

One of them needs to talk.

Put out the word.

Call me on this if you have anything.

Hey. Where are you from?

You don't seem like you're from around here, don't mind me saying.
