- Please state your full name. - Frank Castle.
And you confirm that the statement
you are about to give has not been coerced.
That no amnesty or immunity for any crimes you've committed...
- Jesus Christ. - ...have been offered or implied
- in exchange for your testimony. - Wow...
- Gotta cover your ass, huh, Madani? - Answer the question.
No deals. No guarantees.
- Mr. Castle... - Yeah?
You served many years as a Marine Force Recon?
I did.
But that isn't where you served your last mission?
No. I was part of a covert CIA operation. It was called Cerberus.
And what was the aim of Cerberus?
Mission Cerberus was to apprehend, interrogate,
assassinate high-value targets in Afghanistan.
There is no official record of any such mission.
Come on, Madani, you know why that is.
Why would you ask me that?
Look, I need it on tape.
Okay. The reason why you haven't heard of it
is 'cause the whole thing was illegal.
It's a private death squad funded by
smuggling heroin out of Kandahar. Good?
Okay, and who was running the show?
Colonel Schoonover, Colonel Morty Bennett
and your guy, Carson Wolf. All deceased.
- You killed them? - I did.
Well, not Bennett. His, uh... his friends did that.
I guess you could say I put a target on his back.
Target for who?
The man in charge.
William J. Rawlins.
Head of covert operations, CIA. Whole thing was his baby.
Anyone else involved?
Yeah.
There was a marine.
Billy Russo.
Think I have some more shit you already knew, right, Madani?
It's okay.
Leo, you're safe.
What about Mom and Zach?
Yeah, we're all working on that.
It's gonna be okay.
How do you know?
I'm gonna make sure.
What happened, Dad?
We thought you were dead. We had a funeral.
I know.
- Everything people said about... - I know, I know.
I was trying to protect you, and I know...
I know that it doesn't feel like that right now, and I...
I did a lousy job.
But I'm gonna make everything all right.
Okay?
You're going away again, aren't you? You and Pete.
You're going to go and do something. I don't want you to go.
We gotta go get Mom and your brother.
What if you don't?
Please state your full name.
I'm sorry. Let me just stop you right there, Agent Madani.
I... This isn't gonna be some by-the-book Q and A, okay?
I think, fundamentally, you and I, we want the same things.
We want the same people in custody, but...
that's not my priority.
My priority is my family.
My wife. My son.
You help me get 'em back, I'll give you what you want.
- Yeah, what do I want? - You want evidence
proving William Rawlins killed Ahmad Zubair.
You want a video.
A video that I already sent you, which
you carelessly managed to lose.
A video that already got me killed once.
Killed by who?
You want that video so that Frank Castle
can point at himself on the screen
and then point at William Rawlins and then say, "That's your guy."
And then you want justice...
'cause you haven't figured out that there is no such thing yet.
- You don't believe in justice? - No, I did.
I did. You were it.
You and the system.
I've learned different.
Good men have died trying to expose this thing. They believed.
Well, I believe the only way to get
these assholes is to become like them.
No, I don't believe that.
You will.
In the end.
I want my family safe.
Help me get them back, and I'll give you everything you need.
Not before.
One of your targets was Ahmad Zubair.
Yes, he was.
So what happened to him?
Look, Rawlins gives us a name.
We go, we find him.
We dragged him out of his house in front of his kids.
His wife was screaming.
Same thing we did to a bunch of other guys.
Is that what you want to hear, Madani?
- Zubair was tortured. - That's right.
- And then killed? - Yeah.
- And you witnessed all of this? - I did.
- Rawlins gave the order? - Yeah.
Look, Madani, it's all on that tape, okay? Him, me, all of us.
It damns us all.
Rawlins gave the order. Did Billy Russo pull the trigger?
No, he did not.
I did.
You killed him?
Yes, I did.
Like I said, it damned us all.
- They're late. - Nah, they're here.
They're watching us.
Yeah? Why don't they just shoot us where we stand?
Who knows? Maybe they already...
- Zach and Sarah, they... - No.
If they wanted to kill us, we'd be dead, David.
Shit you pulled with the computers, it's working.
Same on them as it worked on me. It bought us leverage.
- It's good. - Yeah.
- It's a goddamn death sentence. - No.
Hey, look, no second thoughts, okay? You just...
You quiet your mind.
You don't have to do this.
I'm not gonna let anything happen
to your wife and son. I'm just not.
So whatever happens here, we stick to the plan, okay?
- Okay. - We stick to the plan. Yeah?
Yeah. Just, um...
I gotta tell you, Frank, you know... I know I can be difficult.
What you're doing for my family, I'm not gonna forget that.
They're here.
When you see them, you keep it together, yeah?
Let's do it.
- Oh, shit. - Easy.
Easy, David.
Easy. Remember the plan.
Baby...
Mom, it's Dad!
It's Dad!
- Um... - It's okay.
That is just for show. You hear me?
It's for show. They're not gonna do a damn thing.
Just to make sure we behave.
David...
Yeah?
So it's real simple.
You and Lieberman get in the van.
You do anything else, the happy family turns into a bonfire.
Um,
the fact that I'm standing here without a bullet in my head
means you didn't get too far with those computers, right?
Well, we both got things we want here.
So let's get through this nice and smooth.
No tricks. Start walking.
Sounds good.
Move!
David?
Easy.
Stay calm.
- Dad? - David?
You keep it together, David. Keep walking.
David...
It's okay. Just keep walking. It's okay.
- Easy. - David...
Shit.
- Police! - Shit!
- Get him! - In the van, now! Move!
Move! Move! Move!
No! No! Go!
Go!
Go! Go!
- Get off... Get off of me! - Get down!
I need them both! Get Lieberman!
- Come here! Come here. - Let's go!
Come here!
- Come here! - All right. Get out of there.
- No! - Take him down!
- Shit! - No! No!
Get inside! Go, now! Get inside!
Shit!
- No! - Get down!
I said get the hell out of there!
David! No!
Get in the car!
No! No!
Welcome back.
Nice place you got here.
It looks better since I decorated with your guys.
- Well, there are always more guys. - Mmm.
Somebody always wants to get paid.
I guess you'd be the expert on that, wouldn't you, Bill?
All those poor bastards that we strung up back in the day...
You know, I never really thought to myself...
"But for the Grace of God go I." Well... you, in this case.
Ticktock, Bill, huh? Ticktock.
What was Homeland doing there?
I don't know. Nothing to do with me.
Hmm.
Am I supposed to believe that?
I don't give a shit what you believe.
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe Lieberman... Maybe he... Maybe he...
He set it up behind my back. Why don't you go ask him? Okay?
What do you think, Billy?
You think I wanted you and Rawlins under arrest, huh?
Locked up? Nah. No way.
I'm gonna kill you, Bill.
I'm gonna watch you die.
Oh, man.
You are a... trip. You know that?
You really think that, huh? You still think that you get to kill us?
That you get to win? You don't get to win, Frank.
It's over.
You have one choice left, and that's how to die.
That's all I can give you, man.
Now, I kept my end of the deal.
Lieberman's wife and kid are free.
Where is he?
Tell me how to get into those computers, Frank.
I'll make this easy for you.
Ask Lieberman.
Hmm.
Unfortunately, your geek friend is no longer with us.
You killed him?
Homeland got sloppy.
Put three bullets in him. Yeah.
Shitty news for both of us.
So now, this whole situation...
becomes unavoidable.
How 'bout my wife and kids?
Was that unavoidable?
Did you do it, Bill?
Did you pull the trigger on my wife?
On my son?
My baby girl?
All right.
No.
No, I wasn't there.
If I was, you'd be in the ground,
because I wouldn't have missed.
But I told them I'd have no part of it.
But you knew about it, didn't you?
Did you know about it, Bill?
Yeah. I knew.
She loved you.
Look, it wasn't supposed to go down like this, all right?
- My kids loved you. - If I could go back
and change it, I would. But I can't.
Frank...
Frank, look at me.
Look at me, Frank.
I did not want this.
I'm gonna kill you.
No. No, you're not.
All that's left is to decide how you die. Easy or hard.
- That's it. That's your choice. - Shut up, Bill, just...
There are worse things than dying, Bill.
I wake up most mornings and I want it. I hope for it.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You don't know shit about that, but you will. You will.
Well, then why don't you let me help you out? Hmm?
Okay. Okay, Bill, you win.
I pick easy.
Now shoot me. Do it.
What is it?
You can't, can you?
Yeah, you got that unfinished business, don't you, Bill?
How's she doing over there?
- How you doing over there? All right? - Don't play with me, Frank.
You tell me what happens when those counters hit zero.
Oh, all kinds of good shit, Bill.
All kinds of good shit.
Was the body bag really necessary?
We had to make it look good.
Nothing about this looks good.
Sarah and Zach?
They're doing okay, all things considered.
You mean considering they just saw me die?
Hey, this was your idea.
We told them you were okay as soon as we got them out of there.
All right, I need to see my family now. Come on!
- I'll take you to them. - Okay.
Maybe you change your clothes first.
Hi.
God damn you!
You bastard. You bastard, what did you do?
What did you do? We saw you die!
We saw you die! We saw you die!
You were dead for a year!
- Mom, stop it. - What did you do?
What did you do? We thought you were dead for a year.
What did you do? Your kids...
Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Okay.
I'm so, so sorry. Okay?
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
It was always just the clothes and cars and women with you.
It's the only thing that ever mattered.
It's what those things represent, Frank.
What's that?
How far I've come.
It's about...
who I see when I look in the mirror.
I know who you see.
You see a man who lost.
Lost his family, lost his faith.
About to lose his life.
- That ain't never gonna be me. - No?
You're wrong, Bill.
You already lost. You lost your honor.
The second you took that money from Rawlins...
you became everything you hate.
We've both been in rooms like these.
We both know that every man breaks.
Now, give me the passwords...
and we can call it a day.
Because it will get much more painful if you don't.
Yeah, I was wondering when you were gonna show up.
What, you come here to tug on your little doggy's leash, huh?
All right, Bill, why don't you... why don't you bark for him, huh?
Maybe... maybe do a trick, he'll throw you a bone, huh?
He doesn't like that.
You trust this piece of shit, Bill?
How about Morty Bennett? You think Morty Bennett trusted him?
Billy and I have mutual interests,
Frank. What benefits him benefits me.
Yeah, and how about when it doesn't, asshole?
What happens then?
Your stupid-ass gloves. You...
Are those the same ones, or did you get yourself a new pair?
These are special. Just for you.
You gonna do something with them?
You hit like a bitch, Rawlins.
You hit like a bitch.
That wasn't so bad.
I mean, I can explain it... I can explain it all.
You know, in my head that... It was all...
There was a reason for everything, and
one thing led to another thing...
that led to this idea, that led to this action, that...
It was... It was never like, um...
I was just, uh, reacting, you know?
Trying to survive.
Trying to get back home.
Trying to win.
I know that doesn't make up for...
I am so sorry.
I've been in my bathrobe in a basement for a year.
You look like it.
Where is Frank?
Where is he? Um, he's where he wants to be.
What does that mean?
I let him do something really stupid.
I gave him my word I'd let him sacrifice himself for us.
Are those men gonna kill him?
If he doesn't kill them first. All he wants is the chance.
I hope he does it.
Those men?
They deserve to go to hell, and I hope he sends them there.
More likely he's being tortured and/or killed right now.
And there's not a damn thing we can do about it
because we don't have the first clue where he is.
Right, Lieberman?
We found it in the van they used.
Fake your death, take you out of the picture
and then Castle leads us back to Rawlins and Russo.
That was the plan. Now you're here and your family is alive,
so please explain to me why Frank screwed me?
Uh, I don't know. That could have fallen off when they grabbed him.
Did you know?
Uh, Frank doesn't really play well with others.
You know, he's not completely, uh, socialized.
Yeah, you're a lousy liar.
Look, you got everything that you wanted, right?
Everything that you and your superiors wanted.
Frank's statement, Zubair footage...
We kept up our half of the deal.
I'll be really clear with you, okay?
I owe him, not you. I can't dishonor that.
You know, you guys talk about honor, loyalty...
Did you know it was Frank who killed Zubair?
There was no honor in that.
It was murder.
You think Frank doesn't know that?
That haunts him.
That, and everything that came after.
Frank is resigned to die because he's
not sure that he deserves to live.
That's a shame.
So tell me where he is.
This is some bullshit.
It's not gonna happen, Frank.
The mission ended. That's the part you just...
You don't seem to understand.
Who are you protecting? Hmm?
Maria?
The kids?
They're gone. Gunner, Lieberman...
There's nobody left. They're dead.
They're all dead because of you.
I get it.
I get it. That's a... a heavy, heavy burden.
It's time to put it down.
You're a revenant.
Walking the earth, completely unaware that you're already dead.
I hate seeing you like this.
It's sad.
Give it up, Frank.
Give it up, and I'll make it clean and fast.
Go out like a soldier.
Wait. No, wait. No, Maria.
Frank?
Frank.
- Bill? - Yeah.
Yeah, it's me. I'm here.
I'm ready, Bill.
Okay.
It's gotta be you.
It's gotta be clean.
Just don't let him take me, Bill.
- You gotta promise me that. - I won't.
- I promise. - Bill...
Hey. Hey.
I promise.
- I promise. - Okay.
Okay.
It's over there.
It's a retinal scanner and a keystroke.
My... my eye, my right hand.
It's gotta be you, Bill.
Let's get him upstairs.
Move.
- What's happening? - He saw sense.
Just so you know,
we found the gun you had under there.
That's it.
It's done.
You know, I'm actually a little disappointed in you, Castle.
- Hey, sleepyhead... - Mmm.
- Hey. - Hey.
What time is it?
- It's 10:30. - Oh, shit.
You needed sleep.
Got plenty of time now that you're home.
Yeah.
- Where are the babies? - They're playing.
- Mmm. - I told them to let you sleep.
Hmm.
This is the hardest part.
You're back but you're not really here.
More and more of you stays there.
- Where's home, Frank? - Stop it. I'm just...
Is it here or is it there? I wanna hear you say it.
It's here.
It's with you, always. You know that.
I don't know that.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - I'm just... Look, come on.
Let's...
I gotta hit the park today. You know, painted ponies.
- Eat a bunch of shitty food, right? - Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not...
I'm not going back.
I'm not. I'm gonna stay here. I'm done.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna stay with you. I'm gonna stay home.
- Yeah. - Come on.
This guy was good. We were never
getting in here without the codes.
The back-up systems and security are gnarly.
I'd like to meet him.
He's dead.
Same as you'll be if you ever discuss this with anyone.
- Can you destroy it all? - Already happening.
This country needs me, Frank.
I was the bulwark against our enemies.
What I did was greater than you could ever measure!
Do you know what you've done?
Did they take your pension away? Did you... Oh, God!
You are nothing but a grunt!
You do not get to take me down.
You are gonna beg to me. Blood loss is gonna make you weak.
You're gonna slip in and out of shock. You will know pain and fear.
Fear, Frank.
Your ribs must be cracked.
I'm gonna take all the breath out of your lungs,
out of your lungs, until you can barely whisper
and the last word out of your mouth is gonna be,
"Please... Please... Please..."
All right. That's enough.
We wipe everything and we're done.
- Then I put him down. - No.
He's taken things from me. For that he does not die easy.
Well, I made him a promise.
I don't care about your promise.
You said he brought you down.
Taken things from you.
What, exactly?
Yeah?
Look, I made a promise to Frank.
- What are you talking about? - I need to access your computer.
Please.
Yeah, Frank didn't screw you, okay?
Not completely. We just... We didn't tell you everything.
You have my password?
You're about to be really glad about that.
You gotta understand Frank. The only thing
he lives for is to kill these guys.
So I promised I would give him that chance.
So, we set 'em up. The whole thing.
We made sure there's only one place they could take us.
But with me dead...
Frank's their only option.
Oh.
Shit.
Where is this?
Look at him. We gotta stop this.
This is all recording?
Yeah. Frank figured that if he couldn't kill them,
then at least you'd have enough evidence on Rawlins and Russo,
all the evidence you'd ever need.
Please, Dinah, we gotta go get him before it's too late.
Please.
You don't leave me, Frank. Don't you leave me.
You will say, "Please."
This doesn't serve me.
You serve me!
You're a tool, you understand? Just like he was.
You've lost your mind.
I was out of Afghanistan clean.
None of this would be happening if you hadn't gone after him.
You pulled me back into the mud.
I pulled you out of the mud, gutter rat!
Billy, don't get confused.
Men like me make the plans. Men like you shed the blood.
You think you're clean?
Who killed Homeland agents, huh? Not me.
No, I... I have everything.
I have your doctored discharge papers, the money transfers.
You're only as clean as I let you be,
because when it's all said and done, you're just a stupid grunt, too.
I should've let him kill you in that tent.
But you didn't.
- No. - Hmm.
I didn't.
No, Russo. I will burn you.
You will stand down, Lieutenant.
You will not deny me this.
You're a sick man.
He owes me an eye.
It's time.
You have to choose.
Choose...
Don't make me do that.
Come home, Frank.
Stay with me, Frank.
You're gonna want to be awake for this.
Adrenaline. A little something for what ails you.
Whoa! Oh, there he is.
Oh. Boom, boom, boom. Look at that.
Oh, you're really quite something.
- Jesus, that's messed up. - What do you want?
I'm done. It's all gone.
Get her out of here and pay her. You know the drill.
It was always gonna come down to you and me, Frank.
Time for quid pro quo.
Come home, Frank.
Let's go home.
Boom, boom, boom.
You're a dead man, your heart just doesn't know it yet.
I am home.
You're wrong.
I'm a reminder.
Die!
God damn, Frankie.
I love to watch you work.
I wish... I wish I could see your face...
What are you talking about?
When you realize...
Realize what, Frankie?
That you're done.
You lost everything.
Everything you give a shit about is gone.
Gone.
This isn't my gun, Frank.
I was never here.
Homeland Security! Drop your weapons!
You sneaky son of a bitch.
Move, move, move!
Fan out. I want a full perimeter. Lock this place down.
Russo's injured but armed. Search every area.
Hey! Hey! Look at me.
- He's breathing! - Russo's injured but armed.
- Treat him with extreme caution. - We got to get him out of here.
- I called an ambulance. - No. No... Hospitals are cops.
This man's dying for your justice. Why don't you give him some?
Hey, Frank! Hey! I betrayed you, okay?
Listen to me, I betrayed you.
I brought them here. I brought them here, okay?
Call me a piece of shit. Come on. Call me an asshole. Come on.
Call me a son of a bitch. Come on. Come on!
Call me a piece of shit! Let's go!
My friend is dying...
Come on, please, please. Please, please.
Maria...
There you go.
Yes! Yeah, that's right, you scary, beautiful man!
That's right! Yeah.
I got you. I got you.
Home.
