So, what do you actually do here?

Here?

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 or fate,

depending on which you believe in...

...they witnessed a mob execution.

When they were discovered...

But Castle survived.

Since then, he's been taking down

one crime family after another.

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 them.

What do you want, Micro?

You ever heard of jihadi-blogger.com?

I'm posing

as a one-armed Wahhabi warrior...

...who took a crap in a cave

next to Bin Laden.

I think I can score you

a couple of rocket launchers.

What do you want?

Haven't seen you in a while.

Brought you some treats.

It's gun show season in Virginia.

No background checks, no problems.

That's too much, Frank.

Call it a retirement package.

I know this thing with the fed

is eating you up...

...but that doesn't mean

you pack up your tent.

We all make mistakes, Frank.

You're fighting a war

against the a**holes...

...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.

I f***ed up, Micro.

Now, please...

...just leave me alone.

Where the f***'s Nicky?

He...

...didn't make it.

Nicky was a f***ing 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 to carry on the family name?

- Yeah.

Something about a wife and a girl.

Good.

Let's look there.

You got it.

Hey, doc.

Where you been?

- Am I glad to see you.

- Hi, Billy.

Should've seen those f***ing brascioles

at the clinic.

Must have bought their f***ing

medical degrees off the Internet.

How did you end up at a free clinic?

Insurance said I missed a payment.

Can you f***ing believe that?

Okay. Before we do this...

...I need you to understand the severity

of your injuries.

You shouldn't have been able
