(female narrator reading)

(Upbeat rock music playing,

Danzig, "Mother")

Mother

Tell your children not to walk my way

Tell your children

not to hear my words

What they mean, what they say, mother

Mother

Can you keep them

in the dark for life?

Can you hide them

from the waiting world?

Oh, mother

(pants, mutters)

Father

(screams)

Gonna show her my world

(Frank grunts)

Oh, father

Not about to see your light

But if you wanna find hell with me

I can show you what it's like

'Til you're bleeding

Forty-one...

(grunts, groans)

(Music slowly distorting)

And if you wanna find hell with me

(echoing)

I can show you what it's

(singing continues indistinctly,

distorted)

(Music ends)

(female news reporter) Last night,

another m*rder in Little Sicily.

Police officials

and citizens alike are reacting

to the rise of brazen crime

in the Little Sicily neighborhood.

(man 1) Oh, man,

it's f*cking horrible out here!

(woman) When everybody was afraid

to rob and steal, things were cool.

But now? It's chaos.

(man 1) You can't even step outside.

(man 2) You can say what you want

about the Gnuccis

but at least they kept it peaceful.

(female reporter)

Police enrollment and morale

have been gutted in past weeks,

with many in the department citing

the recent death of Bobby Gnucci...

Maryanne. Don't do that!

- (Maryanne) Hey, Johnny!

- Hey! (Chuckles)

Don't do that, huh?

Oh. (Kisses) This way, Cammo.

Ah! Well, a little Italian, huh?

Oh, this will do.

Mussolini fettuccini scallopini

Ah! (Chuckles)

(groans)

No more Cadillacs out here, huh, boy?

No more big shots, no muckety-mucks.

All those Gnucci gorillas are gone.

Oh! (Laughs) Mmm!

You gonna eat today, Cammo.

Oh, yes, you are! (Grunts)

Okay, okay.

(whistling)

- (Mickey) Ding-dong! Whoo!

- (grunts)

(male th*gs whooping, clamoring)

(male thug) Oh, sh*t!

(male th*gs cheer)

- (old vet) Hey!

- Who's a good boy?

(old vet) Put my dog down!

- Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

- Hey! Hey!

Hey, you! Put my dog down!

- Put him down! Cammo!

- Yes, you are.

Yes, you are, you're a good little dog.

- (old vet) Put him down!

- Yes, you are.

(old vet) Leave my dog alone!

- Goodbye!

- (Cammo whimpers)

- (screams)

- (th*gs cheer, laugh)

Goodbye, old man!

(Dre) Don't get too ahead of me, okay?

Hey, come on.

- (th*gs laughing, taunting)

- (Dre) I got you.

It's okay, it's okay.

They were just playin'. Right?

We gotta watch out

for these crazy boys, huh?

You gotta watch out for them, see?

Mama says you...

(cries)

(Frank) I realize that it is my choice

and my choice alone

to be a Reconnaissance Marine.

I accept all challenges

involved with this profession.

Forever shall I strive

to maintain the tremendous reputation

of those who went before me.

Exceeding beyond limitations,

- set down by others...

- (men) ...set down by others

- shall be my goal.

- (men) ...shall be my goal.

- Sacrificing personal comforts.

- (men) Sacrificing personal comforts.

Dedicating myself to the completion

of the reconnaissance mission

shall be my life.

Physical fitness,

mental attitude, high ethics.

- (both) The title "Recon Marine"...

- (Frank) The title "Recon Marine"

- is my honor.

- is my honor.

(Curtis) All done. Nothing left to do.

Poor Frank.

I shall never quit.

To quit, to surrender

is to fail.

(all laughing)

- (winces)

- (laughter continues)

To quit, huh? To surrender?

To give up is to fail?

- Then quit! That's all you've got?

- You're better than me?

f*ck' better than me?

I thought you were the best of us!

You can't hear him?

You can't hear him?

- (man) Frank!

- (Nick) What about us?

- (all shouting indistinctly)

- (screams)

(Curtis) Talk to me.

Tell me what's goin' on.

Whatever you need from me,

I am right here.

I think I need some help.

I think I need some help.

Okay, Curt.

Okay.

Isaiah, don't dribble the ball

in the hallway.

- Come on, baby.

- (Isaiah) That's him.

(Isaiah's mother) Guess he does

come out after all.

(door buzzes)

(people chattering indistinctly)

(woman) Get off of me! Stop it!

Yo, good morning.

(woman) Get out of here. Leave me alone.

(man) Yo, Debbie! Wait up.

- (Dre) Charli. You're making my heart,

not breakin' it, right?

Aight, good girl. Good girl.

Make sure it's gluten free, right?

Here you go. Have a good one.

- (panting) I want that. I want that.

- (Dre) Hey, Dennis. Coffee time already?

All right. Don't cut the line.

Just wait right there.

(male reporter) ...still spinning

from the deaths

of the notorious Gnucci crime family.

Violence and tension

fill the streets of Little Sicily

as a power vacuum has left

the neighborhood vulnerable.

- (shouting) Filthy! Filthy!

- Dennis! Go over there.

Stop cuttin' the line.

You're scaring customers.

(reporter) Reports link

former veteran turned vigilante.

Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher,

as the main culprit behind these murders

after it was alleged that the Gnuccis were

one of the last criminal organizations

linked to his family's death.

Frank Castle's whereabouts remain unknown.

(Dennis) I know you're in there.

(Debbie) ...actin' like that, you know?

- (Dre) Thank you very much.

Porcupine man.

(Dre) Okay, here you go.

Thank you for coming.

All right. Take care.

Go wait over there, please.

- Get Charli to school,

I'll take care of him.

Get Charli to school, please. Thank you.

- Okay, baby. Let's get your stuff.

- (Dennis) They're coming! (Grunting)

Okay, that's it! Enough. Outside.

It's okay, Charli, all right?

Daddy's just playin'.

It's okay.

You have a good day at school.

(Debbie) He don't need coffee,

he needs medication.

(Dre) Debbie, where's my blue pen?

Why is it not in the basket?

(Debbie) 'Cause it's

behind your ear, Andre.

Yeah, nah, don't worry about it.

It's on me.

Sorry about the whole commotion.

Have a good one.

How can I help you?

(Dennis) God! They're gonna k*ll 'em!

They're inside the walls!

They're coming to get us!

They're coming to get us! They're gonna...

(grunts) They're coming to get us.

They're inside the walls!

They're inside the walls!

(male thug 1) Goodbye, old man!

(man) No, you f*ck' failed me!

You f*ck' b*tch!

(man 1) Yo, why you always walking

around, son? Yo, get outta here!

(man 2) Get the f*ck outta here.

(man 3) Get outta here.

Walk. Keep walkin'.

- (officer) I need a medic!

- (Adnan) Get the hell out of my store.

You don't steal from me.

(people shouting indistinctly)

(g*n firing)

(woman screaming) No!

(g*n firing)

(man 1 on radio)

Ground teams, this is bird two-alpha.

(male soldier 1)

Get that f*cking g*n up!

- (plane whooshes past)

- (g*nf*re continues)

(male soldier 2)

Cooper's hit! I need a medic!

(man 1 on radio) Viper seven,

this is bird two-alpha.

- (continues indistinctly)

- (man 2 screams)

(male soldier 3)

pinned down! We're pinned down!

(g*nf*re, chatter stop)

(Frank sighs)

(Frank) Hey, baby.

Did our best.

You here, baby girl?

You're just...

You're so far away from me.

(sniffles)

Baby, when you were little

you couldn't sleep.

I'd tickle your arm for you,

three strokes, baby, you were out.

That was it.

I told you I'd never quit,

I told you I'd never give up on you.

Baby...

Baby, I...

I don't know what to do.

There is nothing left to do.

(exhales)

I'm f*cking tired.

I'm tired.

I'm sorry, baby. (Inhales sharply)

Psst. Dad.

(inhales sharply, grunts softly)

Please come up, Dad, please.

Come up, upstairs.

Hey, Dad! Watch this!

Dad! Did you see that?

(Lisa) Read me this book.

Dad, this book.

Please, Dad.

(Frank) I'm tired, baby.

Come on, Dad. (Echoing) Please.

- Dad.

- (Frank) I'm tired.

(Frank Jr.) Dad! You didn't see it?

Hey. I love you.

Hello, honey.

Hello.

Daddy?

Dad, what's happening?

(screaming inaudibly)

Dad!

Daddy!

You don't wanna be here anyway,

so just go!

Congratulations. You have what you want.

(Lisa) Dad, make it stop!

(Lisa and Maria scream)

(groans)

(Lisa) You okay, Daddy?

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey. Hey.

(Frank breathing heavily)

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey. I'm...

Wait.

No. No, no, no!

No, no, no! No!

Baby, come back!

You come back!

I'm so sorry.

(Frank screams)

(Curtis) You think God's gonna forgive us

for the things we've done, Frank?

I'm not sure about me. But you?

I know you ain't got a f*ck' chance.

What, you can't smile? sh*t was funny.

Oh, I see, you on your sad sack bullshit.

All done.

Nothing left to do.

Poor Frank.

What's your purpose now, Marine?

(Dramatic music playing)

(Ominous musical sting plays)

(Music continues)

(sirens wailing in distance)

(Ma) Frank Castle.

Sorry if I startled you.

Old woman,

knows your name, where you live.

Frank?

I need your help, Frank.

You see

my family was taken.

Just...

He's a cute kid.

Too bad he has to grow up in such filth.

Can I... Can I tell you a small story?

My entire family, Frank!

Same as you.

Loneliness...

Right, Frank?

It's like a hunger.

A dreadful

nasty, ever-present hunger

you just can't shake.

But,

for you and me, Frank

that's all we got.

It was Benny, my husband, he was first.

Who's better than me?

Given his line of work,

I was surprised it didn't happen sooner.

(chuckles softly)

He came home at night

smelling of some sl*t's cheap perfume,

some pathetic shade

of sh*t lipstick smeared on his collar.

(g*n c*ck, fires)

(woman screaming)

(Ma) Bobby.

My oldest. He was next.

- He was a great policeman.

- (woman exclaims)

He solved many capers

that others just never could.

(moaning, panting)

He was butchered.

- (footsteps approaching)

- (gasps)

(Bobby grunts, groans)

(screams)

And then there was Eddie.

Eddie... he lit up every room

that he ever walked into.

He created a family of his own.

(child laughing)

(g*n firing)

It's a real joy

to watch your children bear fruit.

(people screaming)

And then there was my prince.

My beautiful Carlo.

Whatever the rumors said,

I knew he never touched

a single one of those kids.

He didn't get his hands dirty

like the others.

- He was the thinker.

- (man speaking indistinctly)

- His mind was his weapon.

- (shouting indistinctly)

- (g*n fires)

- (man yells)

(groans)

- "It's okay, Ma." He said to me.

- (shouting indistinctly)

But I knew my sweet prince was wrong.

It was not okay.

- It would never be okay again.

- (inaudible)

(gasps softly)

6:47...

A time that will be seared

into my heart forever.

You were like a hungry,

avarice animal.

You took everything...

I had.

(Carlo) Look at me. Look at me.

- It's gonna be okay.

- (Ma) No, no, no.

No, no, no. No, no!

- (Carlo grunting, breathing heavily)

- (Punisher growls)

(Ma) In his last moments, he only wanted

to make sure that I was okay.

- That I wasn't afraid.

- It's okay.

"I love you, Ma," he said to me.

(Dramatic music playing)

But

you forgot about one thing.

You forgot about me, didn't you?

(Music continues)

A small bounty on your head

was all it took.

Every madman, crook, and k*ller

in this neighborhood

all worked for us, Frank.

And now, they're desperate.

At 6:47 p.m.,

this location will be shared.

They will come and they will k*ll you.

And they will k*ll anything

that gets in their way.

You made your bed.

Now rot in it.

(Music continues)

And when that final moment comes,

know it was the Gnuccis who did it.

You didn't finish anything, Frank.

I'm the one who's doing the punishing now.

Come on, Barry.

Let's get the f*ck out of here.

I'm gonna watch you die, Frank.

(Music continues)

(Music ends)

(Karen) You scared, Frank?

(tap squeaks closed)

You're not a victim. You chose it.

Come home from deployment,

out the door the next day, huh?

Just couldn't wait to get back out there.

You chose it. You chose it over them.

- That's bullshit. I didn't...

- Frank, that was never your plan. Father?

Daddy? Husband?

That was a costume. You couldn't wait

to get back where it made sense.

You failed them. You failed them.

You f*cking failed them.

I know all the things I've said.

It's all to help you, brother.

Where are you?

- You're a failure!

- I failed them! I failed.

You failed your family,

and now you're failing this city. Coward!

(Curtis) I shall never quit.

Are...

Are you... Are you here?

Karen, are you here? Are you...

Are you with me?

Yeah, Frank.

Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm here. I'm here.

- Hey.

It's okay. It's good.

I'm always here,

but there's still more for you to do.

- Frank?

- Yeah.

What time is it?

(knocking on door)

(man 1) Ah-ha! Over here! Over here!

Come out, Frank!

(man 2) Oh, yeah.

(man 1) Come on!

I hear you, Frank!

- (man 3) Let's go, Frank! Where are you?

- (men shouting indistinctly)

Come on! Let's go. Where are you?

Come out!

(shouting continues)

(man 4) Frank! Where you at?

Get out of here!

- It's your lucky day!

- (Isaiah's mother screams)

Frank Castle!

Come on, Frank!

(men grunting)

(Isaiah's mother)

Who are you looking for?

(Isaiah) Mama!

(Isaiah's mother) He's not here.

- Isaiah! (Cries)

- (liquid trickling)

Isaiah, run! Please leave us alone!

- (Isaiah) Mommy!

- Isaiah!

(Isaiah) Mommy! I'm scared!

(Isaiah's mother) Run! Now!

- Help!

- (Isaiah) Mommy!

(lighter flicks open, clicks)

(Isaiah) Mama!

(Lisa) Dad!

Daddy!

(screams)

(Somber song playing,

Louis Armstrong, "La Vie En Rose")

Hold me close and hold me fast

The magic spell you cast

(both grunting)

This is la vie en rose

When you kiss me, heaven sighs

And though I close my eyes

- (Isaiah) Get off of my mama!

- Leave me and my son alone!

(man) Shut up!

Shut the f*ck up!

(groans, grunts)

(Isaiah's mother)

It's okay, baby. Come on, let's go.

(mumbles indistinctly)

(groans)

A world where roses bloom

And when you speak

angels sing from above

Everyday words

seem to turn into love songs

(g*n fires)

Give your heart and soul to me

And life will always be

La vie en rose

(man) Where is he?

(groans)

- (g*n c*ck)

- (grunting)

(g*n c*ck)

(g*n fires)

- (gasps)

- (song ends)

- (exploding)

- (high-pitched ringing)

(panting)

(ringing continues)

(alarm bell ringing)

- (thug 1) Cut him off! Cut him off!

- (people clamoring indistinctly)

(thug 2) Don't test me, b*tch.

(man screams)

- (thug 3) You wanna be a hero?

- (tense music playing)

(men grunting)

- (g*n fires)

- (man grunts)

- (man 1) Help me, somebody!

- (Frank yells)

(man 2 gasping in terror)

(woman) Help me! Help me!

- (grunts)

- (screams)

(screams)

(Frank) Stay down!

(woman screams) Get off of me!

(groans)

(g*n clicks empty)

(panting)

- (man yelling)

- (woman screams)

- (thug 1) I see him!

- (thug 2) Castle!

(yells, grunts)

(thug groans)

(Music ends)

(grunting)

(thug groans)

- (thug 1) There.

- (thug 2) ...stairway.

This way.

- (g*n clicks empty)

- (man screaming)

(thug 1) We're coming for you, Frank!

(thug 2) Castle!

- (thug 3) This way...

- (th*gs scream)

(sirens wailing in distance)

- Come on.

- (banging on door)

(thug 1) Show yourself, Castle!

- (thug 2) We're coming for you, Frank.

- (thug 3) Come on, you little b*tch!

(thug 4) Where the f*ck

you think you're goin'?

- (thug 5) Yeah, he's a dead man now!

- Come on.

(Dramatic music playing)

(thug 1) I see him! I see him!

(g*n clicks empty)

(thug 2) Right there. Right there.

- Get that m*therf*cker.

(thug 3) Come fight, you f*ck' coward!

(groans)

(thug yells)

(thug 4) He went this way!

(g*ns firing)

- (thug 5 yells, grunts)

- (Frank grunts)

(thug 6) He's trapped!

(thug 7 yells)

(panting, groaning)

- (th*gs clamoring nearby)

- (panting)

(thug 1) Not too bad. Let's get him!

- (thug 2) There! Right there! Right there!

- Ah, f*ck.

(Frank yells, grunts)

(thug 1) Get off of me. Come on!

What are you... (screams)

Ah, son of a...

(Frank yells, grunts)

(Frank groans)

(sirens wailing in distance)

Move!

Wipe your spit from my face

Wipe these tears from my eyes

I've got to take my life back

I've gotta have my voice be heard

And bring meaning to this life

(Dre) Get out of my f*cking shop,

Yeah, baby, maybe...

Maybe I'm gonna keep going, huh?

One batch,

two batch, penny and dime.

Papa Bear is a baker,

and so am I.

One batch, two batch, penny and dime...

Yeah. I love you, baby girl.

Till the end of time.

Already in the fridge.

(Mickey breathing shakily)

Yo, Devil Dog, that cover's mine.

(Frank) Hmm.

Take that off your maggot head.

Have the hat, man.

That's not the only thing he took from me.
