Just until we know

Russoti's been arrested.

Grace.

Grace, we're leaving soon, honey.

She's smart.

Go ahead. Open it.

It belonged to my daughter.

Here.

Put that down, honey.

It...

...was 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.

You're gonna fry

for killing two of my officers, Billy.

- I want a lawyer.

- Oh, you'll get your f***ing lawyer.

But no lawyer's gonna get you

out of this one...

...you ugly piece of sh*t.

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?

- Brought him into the observation room.

- Good.

Yeah?

Captain, Agent Miller from the bureau.

I believe you were 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.

That I'm a patriot.

Just like you.

I sh*t red, white and blue.

The reason you came to me

is because 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 f***ing Blitzer...

...why you had the lead on the thing

that killed half the f***ing city...

...and you didn't do

a goddamn thing about it.

I'll be right back.

Oh, and Miller?

There's just one other little thing.

Happy?

Go, go, go.

Get them alive.

Homeland Security, put your weapons

on the ground.

Do it now!

You're a f***ing dead man.

My father will kill you, you hear me?

My father will serve your head

on a f***ing silver platter.

Walk down to your right.

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.

- How long was I...?

- A long time.

- You should eat.

- Grace.

- What is it?

- Egg and cheese...

...MREs, that'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 the best one to get.

Not exactly a balanced breakfast.

Out of practice.

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...

...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?

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.

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 f***ing 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.

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.

Here we have garlic, onion...

... a little paprika rub

on a rare roast beef.

Hello, sports fans.

And how are you today, my friend?

Run! Get out of here!

Hey.

I axed you a question.

Run!

You don't answer.

Guess I'll have to ax it again.

Here I come.

Good.

Bring them upstairs

and meet me back down here.

Let's see if we can talk

a few poor bastards into signing up.

Where are they?

I tried. I swear I tried.

Goddamn it.

Don't die on me.

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.

See you in hell.

I see you anywhere near hell...

...I'll kick your ass out.

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.

Maybe if you'd put them 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 f***ed-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.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Relax.

We're looking for 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.

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...

...and at the end of it...

...The Punisher will be dead.

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 did 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.

I don't think this is a good idea.

What?

We're looking for Tiberiu.

Cristu's father.

- Why?

- If I were Tiberiu...

...I'd probably wanna find the man...
