Marvel's The Punisher

I could just kick the door in, you know?

Yeah, right. Okay.

Look at it. Are you serious?

- My way, we're definitely getting in. - Right.

Remember why we're here. Seriously, Frank.

Hell, no.

- No. - Uncle Teddy sent us.

I need to see the money.

Your way, huh? Let's go get something to eat.

Right this way.

Hey, hey.

That's a heavy door you got there, mister.

It'd take a whole army to kick that thing down.

All right, I take the money up front.

Three hundred for my time and the studio, another two hundred for developing.

You own the prints and the negatives. No Internet, no trace, no cops.

Free to use any of this.

I don't judge, so whatever you wanna do.

And I mean, whatever...

We're just here to use your shit.

Get to work.

Go.

No! No! No! No! Please, don't...

No! No!

You like taking pictures of little girls, huh?

Please. Please, please, he's gonna kill me.

Please! Don't kill...

I didn't do anything, did I?

- Are you? - You go wait outside.

Go.

Hey, listen. He's, like, a total creep, but it still seems a bit borderline.

Even for you.

Hey.

It's your lucky day, asshole.

You're disappointed.

Hey...

I'm touched. Really.

Yeah?

You could always burn the place down if it makes you feel better.

- Did you break it? - Oh, I hope so.

Now that we're awake, why not make the best of it?

Mmm...

Look, I... I gotta get out there.

I know.

- I got the whole room for a week. - Yeah?

How about you sleep in, get some room service,

keep it warm till I get back?

I miss your place.

The scrambled eggs you make and that good toast.

When are you back in?

They can't say. Rodent problem. The whole block, not just mine.

It's gonna take a while, they said.

On second thought, I'm enjoying hotel living.

- Are you gonna be here when I get back? - Mmm-hmm.

Got any word for me?

Not a word, brother.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Just like Mom never used to make.

Here you go. Come here a sec, all right?

Holy shit.

Hell, Curtis, I can even read the board now.

"Today's special... chili."

I guess I knew that, but it's nice to be sure, man.

Yes, it is.

Um...

Curtis, I just...

Man, I can't even...

You're welcome. Now you can see where you're going, right?

Hell, yeah.

Now you have no excuse not to fill out those papers I gave you.

And maybe we can get you out of living in your car.

One thing at a time, man.

Right now...

...I'm gonna go over there and eat my chili.

Hi. Yes, I was just waiting to speak with, um...

Yes. Oh, wow. Thank you so much.

Seriously, you have no idea how awful it is being the second assistant.

Um, yes, so I... Just really quickly, I wanted to, um...

I wanted to triple-confirm Mr. Poloznev's usual breakfast time

and, like, triple-delay my inevitable firing.

Perfect. Oh, thank you so much. You've been so helpful.

What's your name? Deb. Okay, I'm Ashley.

And I'm sure we'll be speaking again soon.

Cool, cool. Thanks. Bye.

"Cool, cool," huh?

So, Poloznev's a creature of habit. Gets breakfast with his kid every morning.

You know, I bet he wakes up every day and pats himself on the back

for being such a special parent.

God, kids are a weakness.

Let's go.

This place costs $40,000 a year, just for tuition.

I'm sure they all come out as well-rounded, decent human beings.

Yeah, maybe we'll see if we can get you a spot, huh?

Sign you up for the glee club.

Yeah, you might as well just shoot me now.

Only someone who's never been shot would say something stupid like that.

Okay, fair.

Is this what you would have wanted for Lisa, if you could?

Send her someplace like this?

Yeah, I don't know. I...

I don't really think about it.

- You don't think about her? - I always think about her.

But she's gone, so...

You should think about her.

You should think about who she'd be now. Let her live in your head.

Happy. Doing stuff.

You know?

How old would she be by now?

Next month's her birthday.

She'll be...

She'd be 15. Yeah.

Oh, man. Wow.

Yeah, well, she'd be doing stuff, all right.

But you'd be in so much trouble by now. Trust me.

She'd be scaring the life out of you.

You know, she'd be going out and boys knocking on the door...

All of that.

You think they know?

Some of their parents kill people?

I made tea.

- That's what you drink, right? - Yeah.

It's good. Just how I make it.

I suspect you don't miss much, do you, Billy?

Hey, uh...

look, earlier, I wasn't spying on you or anything.

That's not what I'm talking about.

What? You mean me listening to you and Jake?

Well, you made sure I couldn't miss that.

I'm guessing you wanted me to hear your whole healer shtick.

You take too many risks.

Your behavior is self-destructive.

So, what, you're trying to transform me, too?

That it?

I just think everyone is worth saving.

Even you. Even if you don't.

Well, I got nothing left to lose.

You do.

So why take the risk? I mean, that...

that seems kind of self-destructive.

So whatever this is, it's not, uh...

It's not all about me, is it?

Where were you last night?

I had a drink with Jake. Couple drinks, in fact.

Did talking to someone with similar issues help you?

I guess.

Jake knows how it is. We got things in common.

Please don't leave here again.

And what if I do?

Don't get caught.

Wow. This place is really something.

You got four walls and heat. What do you need?

Loss of curiosity is a loss of humanity, Frank.

Yeah, well, I know where the exits are. Curiosity satisfied.

Where'd you get that?

Curtis.

I should have a gun.

A gun by itself is worthless if you don't know how to use it.

Last time I gave you one, you didn't do shit.

You could teach me.

All right, kid.

Tell you what. Empty gun, empty clip.

You can have mine.

- Yeah? - Oh, yeah.

If you can take it from me.

Oh, that's really cute.

Now, that was cute.

Again, huh?

Uh-oh. You don't know what you're doing. Come here, sit.

Ready to sit down?

Or you could just show me the right way to do it.

Get up. Come on.

- Keep your distance, okay? - Mmm.

Step number one: you're gonna take the gun off line, right?

- Off line, right? Push hard. Show me. - Mmm-hmm.

Attagirl.

Easy. Easy.

All right, now step two: go for that wrist, all right?

Get control. Go. Now look. Underneath.

- Yeah? Underneath. - Okay.

Go for the joint. Joints are weakest.

Yeah, especially in old dudes.

Yeah?

Easy. Bang, bang. Listen to me.

Use your legs, get underneath and twist.

Okay.

Look at that, huh?

- Who got a gun? - Yeah. Yeah.

- Attagirl! Who's got a gun? - I got a gun.

Yeah, you got a gun. It feels good, huh?

Yeah.

Okay. Step three:

you just took a gun off somebody who wanted to use it on you.

What do you do?

You use it on them.

I don't care who they are. You do not hesitate.

You pull that trigger. You got it?

Good. Show me.

Hey.

Attagirl. Way to go.

I bet you were a really good dad, huh?
