The Punisher Page #3

They won't say anything.

Be still.

I said, be still.

You'd think he was hiding

something under there.

May i?

Be my guest.

What the hell is this?

Trouble.

Get him out of here.

I'll get it.

Ok.

Lieutenant?

You won't believe this.

Try me.

The kids of the new family heads

Have been snatched.

They've named the punisher

as the prime suspect.

They're wrong.

It makes sense.

I know it does.

But they're wrong.

Do you have a reason for saying that?

I've got two reasons for saying that.

My contacts tell me the kids are here.

You sure this is it?

I'd stake my reputation on it,

If i had one.

Do you got a spare?

What?

One of those.

If they're holding the kids here,

It's with a f***ing arsenal.

You move left instead

of right, you're dead.

The critics said the same

thing about my hamlet.

Stay here.

Watch your back.

That was a very expensive

question you asked

At our place the other night.

It cost us nearly $2 million in cash.

How much pain do you think that buys?

Is the question true/false

or multiple choice?

Neither.

Uhh!

Who sent you?

Batman.

Do you get the impression

i don't believe you?

Do you think i give a sh*t?

You handle your pain very well.

Let's see how well you

handle the pain of others.

Now will you tell me?

You're a very stubborn man.

I have an appointment.

I will leave you in

the hands of mr. Ito.

He will keep you alive

Much longer than you care to be.

Goodbye.

Hey.

Have a nice day.

Wait.

Come here.

I've got something to say.

Sayonara.

I don't want to stretch this out,

So tell me where the kids are.

Deserted warehouse. Avenue "a."

Take care of the little ones.

Thank you for your cooperation.

You could spend your

whole life down here

And not find one clue.

We could get lucky.

The eternal optimist, huh?

Look who's talking.

Five years with no leads.

Now you're tramping around the

sewers on a computer's hunch.

How come?

How come what?

How come you never gave up?

I know what it's like to be given up on.

Who gave up on you?

Everybody.

Except him, right?

That's right.

So, what happened?

You know how you go out

for a drink after work?

In my case it was the drink before work,

The drink during work,

And finally the drink instead of work.

Then it became a problem.

Nobody wanted to deal with it,

Especially me.

Before i knew it,

I was busted down to

collecting empty shell casings

On the firing range.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Then along comes frank castle

With a shiny new detective badge,

And he says he wants to learn

From the guy who wrote the book

On busting bad guys.

Me.

He took me into his life,

Helped me get my act together,

And showed me how to be a cop again.

So what's a little

sewer sh*t for a friend?

You know, when we get our kids back,

I'll rip her f***ing heart

out with my bare hands.

I swear.

None for me. I'm on medication.

Hey,salud.

Here's to the safe

return of our children.

Salud.

Salud.

Here we go.

So, mr. Franco decided not to attend.

A wise decision.

What are you talking about?

You f***ing b*tch!

Aah!

What are you waiting for?

You're going to kill us, do it!

I already have.

Champagne.

The glasses.

Thirsty, mr. Deleo?

Since you have refused the drink...

Please,

Accept the chaser.

Aah!

Black coffee, ed.

Thanks.

Hey, that's my bus!

Hey!

Hey, that's my stop!

Hey!

Hey!

You missed my stop.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

The kid's ready. The

boat sails in an hour.

I want you to meet jimmy.

Wake up!

Psst!

Uhh! Uhh!

It's all right.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here to take you home.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on. Run. Run.

Into the bus.

Move it. Move it.

They took tommy away.

What?

Down the corridor.

Cathy. Where's cathy?

Get in the bus.

Come on.

Stay in the bus, ok? Stay here.

Tommy.

Where's cathy?

I don't know.

Come on.

I came down for my dolly.

Run to the bus, cathy.

Let him go!

Shoot him!

Get down!

Where's tommy?

They've got him. I'll get him back.

All right. Let's go.

Hold on!

Stay down!

I'm scared.

Yaah!

Sh*t! Cops!

Hold on!

Hold your fire!

Come on, kids. Come on. Over here.

Hurry. Hurry.

Is my mommy here?

Hurry!

Hello, frank.

How you been?

Busy.

Oh, i know.

I know you have.

I'm in charge of the body count.

What the hell happened, frank?

Frank is dead.

All right?

Oh, i see.

So you decided everybody

else had to be dead, too.

Is that it?

Nah.

If you're guilty, you're dead.

Courts decide who's guilty,

Not cops.

They hereby swear to uphold the law.

Remember?

I've been looking for

you for five years, man.

Why the hell didn't

you come to me for help?

I didn't need your help.

You're sick. You know that, don't you?

No, i'm not.

Then what the f*** you call

Work in progress.

God damn you! Look!

It's no f***ing joke here.

They are going to electrocute you,

And there's nothing i

can do anything about.

Talk to me, man.

Let me in!

Let me in!

They were my family, too.

They were my family, too.

Let me in, god damn it! Let me in!

I see.

You want to die. Is that it?

Well, f*** you. Go ahead and die.

The frank i knew died five years ago.

F*** you!

Open this door.

Ha ha ha ha!

No! Please don't!

Aah!

In a few moments,

Frank castle, the ex-Police officer

Who's waged a one-Man war

against organized crime

For the past five years,

Will be escorted to court

to face an unprecedented

There's still no news

as to the whereabouts

Of tommy franco,

The son of crime boss gianni franco.

Where's berkowitz?

Hurting.

What happened

between you two--

What do you care?

Hey, i care. I'm his partner.

He carried the burden for

a long time by himself.

He needed help, and you weren't there.

I was the next best thing.

He resigned from the

force after seeing you.

He lived for the day he found you.

That's all he had, and

now you've taken that away.

He's your best friend.

Why do you want to

take him down with you?

You were his life before

this ever happened,

And you've been his life ever since,

And you f***ing well know that.

How long do you think someone can live

After you've cut out their heart?

A long time.

Like you? Is that

what you want for jake?

To live like you?

Call him.

What?

I said, call him.

Nighty-Night, a**hole.

Let him be.

What happened to your

family wasn't supposed to.

If i could undo it,

i would, but i can't.

I swear this on the life

of my son thomas anthony.

I want him back.

I can't do it myself, or i would.

I need you, castle.

I'll give you anything you want.

I'll do anything you wish.

Say something.

F*** you.

Let me put it another way.

A life for a life.

I'm not going to ask you twice, castle.

Well?

Ok.

Ok, i'll do it.

But understand...

When this is over, you're dead.

The elevator stops at 40.

They're on 41.

We need a key to get there,

which the lobby guard has.

Five minutes. Push the first button.

What's that going to do?

Blow out the lights.

Sir, just in case,

It's been an honor to have known you.
