hunting license.
Why not?
Why not?
Berkowitz, it's late.
I'm tired.
You're warned.
What the hell ever happened to you?
Excuse me, lieutenant berkowitz?
I'm detective sam leary.
Sam?
Samantha.
I worked with you once five years ago.
Did the moretti heroin bust.
It was my first
assignment plain-Clothes.
I was the hooker.
Oh, right.
What can i do for you, detective?
I'd like to be your partner.
I don't work with a partner.
But you used to.
Used to. Past tense.
I'm not after a free ride.
I can carry my share of the load.
I'm sure you can.
No, you're not. You're
not even listening.
That's right.
I'm not even listening.
Why?
I work with the best.
Anything else is a waste of my time.
Think you're the first to apply?
No, but i'm the most qualified.
What makes you think that?
I graduated first in
my class at the academy.
I scored in the top
1% in the target range.
I made detective first time up,
The second youngest on
the force to do that.
It must make your parents proud.
But why should it make you my partner?
I believe that frank
castle's the punisher.
Know where my office is?
Yeah.
You be there at 9:00 sharp.
Mr. Franco, how does
it feel to be back home?
In the 30 minutes since
i've landed, so far, so good.
Have you come to take over?
It was a long flight.
Give him a break.
Aren't you afraid of the punisher?
In europe, they think you made it up
To sell newspapers.
What's been killing your
associates for five years?
Too much stress, i guess.
Thanks for coming.
Come on. Vanish.
Just a second.
Can i help you, detective?
Oh, you already have, franco.
Really? How?
Kind of like a worm helps a fisherman.
I'm glad you finally came home, gianni.
I was running out of bait.
I'll see you around.
Too much stress, huh?
That's funny.
How'd you like it there?
It was ok.
Learn good stuff in those fancy schools?
Show him something.
You got a quarter?
Sure.
Here you go.
Watch him.
Hey, that's great.
I can do it with $10.
That's expensive for me.
Give this to louie in the kitchen.
Ask him to give you more cheesecake.
Lose something?
Heh heh!
So tell me.
How bad is it?
How bad?
If you didn't come home,
I would be head of the family.
It's not going to be families anymore.
That's old thinking.
It's dad thinking.
There'll be no more wars,
No more territories.
How are you going to convince anyone?
With an act of good faith so generous
That even freddy deleo
will see the light.
A week from now,
I've arranged for 600 kilos of pure junk
To come in.
600 keys?
$500 million worth.
Everyone gets their share,
Provided they work
together to make it happen.
One group on security,
One at receiving,
One in collecting,
One in distribution.
That wouldn't be too hard.
And what do we do about the punisher?
One thing at a time, jim.
First we consolidate.
And then we obliterate.
Excuse me, kind sir,
But i can't help but see in you
A man far luckier than me.
What?
Whatever you can spare
will be sufficient.
And this old
thespian--
What the hell's a thespian?
An actor, sir.
Oh, sure.
Thank you.
Hey.
What'd i tell you about
bugging the customers?
Richie.
Throw this trash out of here.
You can't treat me like this.
I demand some respect!
I'm not trash!
I'm a man!
Maybe i should have
tried some eugene o'neill.
Aw.
Hi there.
Nice weather we
are having for--
You were supposed to meet
me here four hours ago.
I know.
I've heard it all my life.
Checks, responsibility...
Can't keep an appointment.
Where is the dope coming into?
The dope.
The dope.
Oh, that.
Pier 30.
But the location's not the big story.
Who'll be there is.
Who'll be there?
Everyone.
They're all working together now.
One big, happy family
Under the fatherly wing of
your old friend gianni franco.
Mr. P!
Happy hunting.
Allez, vite. Ils rapprochent.
I can't get this frigging thing to work.
Very difficult.
Well, fuck you.
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Hey, there's $500
