SPLASH PAGE/ The Punisher walking down a dark sidewalk, to the left there are bushes and shrubbery and plants, to the right is a regular Manhattan street. Punisher has a black trenchcoat on, over his regular gear (as that would obviously attract attention). He has a duffel bag at his side, strapped at his left shoulder.
CAPTION: CENTRAL PARK, WEST
NO DIALOGUE
Page 2
1/ A man is sitting on a park bench, with a streetlight to his right, and a bag of peanuts on the bench to his left. He’s an old man, with a bit of a beer gut, a fisherman hat and jacket, with a regular t-shirt and some cargo shorts on, with high socks and brown boots. He looks like an old man dressed for a fishing trip, it’s just out of place enough to be a bit weird, but not to attract suspicion.
NO DIALOGUE
2/ Profile view of Punisher from his left, behind him we see a break in the shrubbery and an entrance into the park, beyond that we see jogging trails and the regular features of the place.
CAPTION(Punisher): Before I detonated Bushwacker, he mentioned the west entrance, a sentry named Steve.
3/ Back view of Punisher, with Steve in the foreground (Steve being the old man on the bench), with Punisher standing about five feet in front of him.
CAPTION(Punisher): Didn’t expect this.
4/ Punisher’s face.
PUNISHER: You Steve?
5/ Steve’s face.
STEVE: Affirmative.
6/ Close up on Punisher’s hand reaching into the trenchoat at his side, no doubt getting ready to quick draw should Steve turn out to be trouble.
PUNISHER: Password is Overboss.
PUNISHER: Right?
Page 3
1/ Steve’s face.
STEVE: Welcome to the facility.
2/ Wide shot of Steve and Punisher. Punisher is looking to his right, Steve isn’t moving. There’s a slight gray fog rolling in around ankle length.
SFX: SHHHH
3/ A large, chrome tube, seven feet tall is standing out of the ground, the source of the fog which is rolling out from the bottom. It’s an elevator, and the grass/ground has parted under it like a doorway. It was clearly only designed to transport one person at a time. The street light has moved backward to accommodate room for it.
PUNISHER(OP): Well, I’ll be.
4/ Back view of Punisher, his entire body turned toward the elevator. He has a pistol in his hand pointed at Steve’s head, and he’s firing it, Steve’s head rocking back as expected, but no blood spilling. Bits of circuitry and wiring.
SFX: BLAM
PUNISHER: Figures they don’t have a living guard.
Page 4
1/ Angled over Punisher from the right side, we see him walking near the edge of the bench and toward the elevator. Also, Steve’s head rocked back, leaking oil or something artificial, just to show more to avoid any confusion on his being an LMD.
NO DIALOGUE
2/ Back view of Punisher. In front of him is the elevator. The doors of the elevator are opening.
ELEVATOR: Welcome, future business associate, or existing business partner. The OVERBOSS will be seeing you in just a few, short moments.
ELEVATOR: Please, step inside.
3/ View of the entire Elevator, Punisher standing inside. It’s a bit awkward to see him cramped like this.
CAPTION(Punisher): Here goes.
Page 5
1/ View of the elevator travelling downward through a large metal tube, with solid ground on both sides. It’s like a view of underground from any other form of media, just to see that the tube travels straight down.
NO DIALOGUE
2/ Wide view of a large, gray room, with no windows, and only one door. The view is focused on a blank wall, with one rectangular panel (the height of the elevator), starting to glow white.
SFX: BING
3/ Same view, except that panel on the wall is split in two and mostly open, as is the elevator door, and Punisher is walking forward and out of the elevator. Punisher is also taking off his trenchcoat, but keeping the duffel bag at his side.
CAPTION(Punisher): Get ready for anything.
Page 6
1/ Back view of Punisher. In front of him, there’s a similar blank wall, and it’s now opening in a similar manner, one panel in the middle splitting down the middle and opening. He has left his trenchcoat behind.
SFX: PSSHHH
2/ Close up of Punisher’s hand grabbing the end of a holstered pistol and pulling it out.
NO DIALOGUE
3/ Ceiling view of the entire hallway as Punisher walks through, aiming his pistol out and holding it with both hands.
NO DIALOGUE
Page 7
1/ A gray panel-like door, just like the others.
NO DIALOGUE
2/ Same view, but now the door is opening.
NO DIALOGUE
3/ Back view of Punisher walking through. He’s got his head tilted up slightly, as if observing something quickly. We can’t see.
PUNISHER: This is a joke, right?
Page 8
SPLASH PAGE/ In a large, white room, each bit of the room seeming like a florescent glowing panel. Punisher is in the same position, but his arms slightly lowered. Standing in front of him are six Jigsaws. Each Jigsaw is dressed in a suit, like something a patient in an asylum would wear.
JIGSAW 1: Not at all, Frank.
JIGSAW 2: Glad to see ya again.
JIGSAW 3: We’re the JIGSAW BRIGADE.
Page 9
1/ Side view of one of the Jigsaws. Its head is cracked back as its being shot, wiring and etc bursting out.
SFX: VSHKT
CAPTION(Punisher): One.
2/ One of the Jigsaws taking out a combat knife. We will come to call him Alpha Jigsaw.
PUNISHER(OP): This supposed to scare me?
ALPHA JIGSAW: Nah Frank, this is just the appetizer.
3/ Front view of Punisher using his free hand to take off the strapped duffel bag and put it down, aiming the pistol and firing with his other hand.
SFX: BLAM
4/ The Jigsaw with a knife ducking under the gunfire in an artificial, creepy, puppetlike manner.
ALPHA JIGSAW: Interestin’!
5/ Wide shot of that Jigsaw crouched, still creepy. Its eyes are looking toward the left.
ALPHA JIGSAW: Jigsaws, @#% him up.
6/ Wide view of the faces of the other 4 Jigsaws. Their eyes are squinted, and glowing a faint green.
CAPTION(Punisher): Great.
Page 10
1/ Side view of one of the Jigsaws running at Punisher. Punisher has his gun out and he’s firing.
SFX: BLAM
JIGSAW: GRRRAARRR!!
2/ Front view of Punisher quickly moving to his left, to avoid the Jigsaw that just fell where he was standing.
NO DIALOGUE
3/ Front view of Punisher looking at the view of the panel (OP at Jigsaw Brigade), aiming his pistol down and firing at the fallen Jigsaw.
SFX: BLAM
CAPTION(Punisher): Two.
PUNISHER: This all you got?
4/ The other 3 Jigsaws running toward us (OP at Punisher).
NO DIALOGUE
Page 11
1/ Two of the Jigsaws are grabbing at Punisher’s arms. They’re pulling and grabbing onto his shoulders, as if they’re trying to swarm him. Punisher is slamming the barrel of his gun into the eye of the third, which is directly in front of him.
PUNISHER: Not even worth my time.
2/ Same view, but now the gun is firing while jammed against the Jigsaw’s head, sending the expected robo-gore through the skull.
SFX: BLAM
SFX: VSHKKT
CAPTION(Punisher): Three.
3/ Punisher getting out of the grip of the other Jigsaws. He’s slamming his elbow into the one on the left’s face, sending him back, the other is yet to get shaken off.
SFX: WHAM
JIGSAW (on the right): Frank, you NEED me!
4/ Punisher aiming his pistol out at the Jigsaw he hit, which has stumbled back from him, and firing at the head. Expected head-jerk and robo-gore. Punisher still has another Jigsaw grabbing at him.
REMAINING JIGSAW: We’re NOTHIN without EACH OTHER, Frank! We’re two sides of the same--
SFX: BLAM
SFX: VSHKT
CAPTION(Punisher): Four.
5/ Close up of the remaining Jigsaw LMD getting Punisher’s gun shoved into its mouth and firing.
SFX: BLAM
SFX: VSHKT
CAPTION(Punisher): Five. One left.
Page 12
SPLASH PAGE/ Punisher aiming his pistol at the now standing Alpha Jigsaw.
PUNISHER: Don’t try the speeches with me.
ALPHA JIGSAW: A poor attempt to change your mind, I know.
ALPHA JIGSAW: You’re the only one who’s mind can’t be changed. Ever.
PUNISHER: Congrats. You sound the most like the real one.
Page 13
1/ Back view of Punisher. Alpha Jigsaw is jumping at him.
ALPHA JIGSAW: I’m grateful!
2/ Side view of Punisher moving to the left, Alpha Jigsaw slashing his knife down into open air.
ALPHA JIGSAW: Now DIE!
3/ Same view, the panels are happening second-by-second at this moment basically; Punisher fires his pistol at Alpha Jigsaw’s body.
SFX: BLAM
SFX: VSHKT
ALPHA JIGSAW: NGH--!
4/ Alpha Jigsaw rushing at the reader (Punisher OP) with his knife.
ALPHA JIGSAW: Tagged me!
PUNISHER: Missed.
CAPTION(Punisher): And out of ammo. No time to reload.

NO DIALOGUE
2/ Close up of Alpha Jigsaw’s knife being slashed forward.
NO DIALOGUE
3/ Black panel.
SFX: BLAM
4/ Front view of Alpha Jigsaw. He’s falling backward with his arms up and his hands spread open, the knife dropping out of his grip. It’s really dramatic, and there’s robo-gore spurting out of his head. It’s as if this was a slow motion shot for a 3D movie or something.
NO DIALOGUE
5/ Close up of Alpha Jigsaw’s mutilated face on the ground.
ALPHA JIGSAW: 10111You…win101010….
Page 15
1/ The Alpha Jigsaw is on the ground, talking visibly. Punisher is picking up the duffel bag’s strap.
ALPHA JIGSAW: 1011…door code… Underboss…. 110101….
ALPHA JIGSAW: >Offline<
2/ Wide side shot of the entire room. Punisher is looking toward the end of the room, which has a single, middle placed wall panel that’s opening up, like all the other rooms so far.
WALL PANEL: Code “Underboss” accepted.
3/ Front view of Punisher walking out of a long hallway lit by florescent light like all the other rooms before. This room he’s entering has an industrial feel to it. Punisher has an actual expression of surprise on his face.
PUNISHER: …
Page 16
SPLASH PAGE/ Back view of Punisher. He’s looking at the entire assembly line room. The room is very large and wide and tall, at least three stories tall. There are catwalks on the “second level” and nothing visible above that (from what we see here, anyway). The real shocking thing is that there are dozens of Punisher LMDs stationed, all aiming a pistol at the spot where Punisher stands. They aren’t dressed like him, they all have outfits like the Jigsaw Brigade, but each has a spray painted black skull outline on their chests.
PUNISHER ARMY(all of the LMDs talking at once in one collective speech bubble): Stand down. (HUGE lettering)
Page 17
1/ Our Punisher’s face. He’s still surprised.
PUNISHER: Now I’ve seen everything.
2/ Close up of Punisher’s waist. His hand is reaching into a pouch on his belt.
PUNISHER ARMY(OP): PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD.
CAPTION(Punisher): I’ll have to do something special.
3/ Close up of Punisher’s hand. He has the Mysterio orb in his grip, pressing the eye button.
SFX: BEET
CAPTION(Punisher): Go covert.
4/ The spot where Punisher was standing getting heavy gunfire on it, but again nothing’s there, it’s just to show that Punisher somehow booked it.
SFX: BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
5/ A Punisher LMD standing next to a mechanical assembler arm, aiming its pistol out.
PUNISHER LMD: Where did he--
6/ The Punisher LMD’s arms are forced up to its head by an invisible force, and the gun fires, sending robo-gore out of the LMD’s skull.
SFX: BLAM VSHKT
CAPTION(Punisher): Invisible.
CAPTION(Punisher): Took a bit of experimentation with the orb to figure out I could even become truly invisible. Had to examine it on the way here. Glad I did.

2/ Close up on one of the Punisher LMDs, aiming and firing off panel.

3/ Same view of that LMD, but it eye bursts with wiring as a bullet flies through the head.
SFX: BLAM
SFX: VSHKT
4/ Side view of two Punisher LMDs on a catwalk being disposed of in a similar manner to panel 3, falling over.
SFX: BLAM BLAM

Page 19
1/ A Punisher LMD running down a path inbetween two assembly lines.
PUNISHER LMD: BROTHERS! REPORT IN!!!
2/ That Punisher LMD’s head flies clean off his shoulders from a large burst of firepower.
SFX: BLAM
CAPTION(Punisher): Break out the sawed off shotgun. Get rid of every last one.
3/ A group of Punisher LMDs gathered around a large area, aiming.
PUNISHER LMD 1: We’ve got you. Become visible and surrender.
4/ A burst of muzzle fire traveling in a circle, nailing all the LMDs in the head or neck.
SFX: BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA
CAPTION(Punisher): Or the Uzi. Move fast, kill many. All that matters.
Page 20
1/ On the “third floor” level of the interior assembly line, there’s a wall with two windows. Curtains in the left window are being drawn back, as Overboss looks onto the madness of the gunfight. Overboss has the same tux on as last issue.
SFX: BLAM BLAM BLAM
OVERBOSS: Faster than I expected.
OVERBOSS: Dammit.
2/ Back view of Overboss looking at his office.
OVERBOSS: No better time then, I suppose.
3/ Front view of Overboss looking down at his hand. His hand is clearly robotic, a gray coloring. His hand is robotic in the shape of something akin to an Iron Man suit.
4/ A Punisher LMD grabbing the air, and managing to get a tight grip on our Punisher’s hand. The hologram orb is being visibly crushed by his grip on Punisher's hand, squishing his grip down.
CAPTION(Punisher): Just one left.
5/ Close up on the Punisher LMD’s face. Our Punisher is slamming the Uzi into its face and firing.
SFX: BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA
SFX: VSHKT SHHRKKT
CAPTION(Punisher): Broke the hologram orb in my hand, I’m visible. Dammit.
6/ Close up of Punisher’s Uzi firing.
SFX: BUDDA BUDDA
Page 21
SPLASH PAGE/ Punisher stands among the horde of destroyed Punisher LMDs. He doesn’t have the duffel bag on him, and he’s used up a bit of his arsenal. But he’s still considerably armed. Punisher is looking up, at Overboss who is talking off panel.
CAPTION(Punisher): Good thing I managed to plant the explosives in all the key locations and supports. Had to drag out the firefight in the process, but worth it.
OVERBOSS(OP): So, you finally found the bottom of the criminal underworld.
OVERBOSS(OP): It’s almost biblical, isn’t it?
Page 22
1/ The windows on the “third level” of the assembly room. Overboss is HUGE (say, the size of Wilson Fisk) with artificial robotic size, peeking his upperbody out of the window, as if preparing to jump down. His suit is more than simple clothing now, it’s a coloring on his metallic body. He’s basically a Hulkbuster Iron Man suit, but with the white tuxedo colorscheme and a blank face that’s more human shaped. There’s no visible armory on him or weapons, he plans on using just his fists.
OVERBOSS: You faced a legion of yourself and put them all down. And now, you face the leader of the place.
OVERBOSS: And he’s much stronger than you. And the embodiment of what you’ve been destroying.
2/ Punisher’s eyes, squinted.
PUNISHER: The religious analogies aren’t going to distract me. Don’t bother.
3/ Overboss leaping down from the window.
OVERBOSS: It was worth a shot.
Page 23
SPLASH PAGE/ Back view of Punisher. Overboss is standing in front of him, taller than him by a good four feet at least. Punisher has his hands at his sides, and he’s dropped any weapons he was holding.
OVERBOSS: Let’s begin.
CAPTION(Punisher): Five minutes to spare before the detonation sequence. Before this place goes to hell.
CAPTION(Punisher): I’ll manage.
CAPTION(digital numbers): 5:00.

1/ A Punisher LMD running down a path inbetween two assembly lines.
PUNISHER LMD: BROTHERS! REPORT IN!!!
2/ That Punisher LMD’s head flies clean off his shoulders from a large burst of firepower.
SFX: BLAM
CAPTION(Punisher): Break out the sawed off shotgun. Get rid of every last one.
3/ A group of Punisher LMDs gathered around a large area, aiming.
PUNISHER LMD 1: We’ve got you. Become visible and surrender.
4/ A burst of muzzle fire traveling in a circle, nailing all the LMDs in the head or neck.

CAPTION(Punisher): Or the Uzi. Move fast, kill many. All that matters.

1/ On the “third floor” level of the interior assembly line, there’s a wall with two windows. Curtains in the left window are being drawn back, as Overboss looks onto the madness of the gunfight. Overboss has the same tux on as last issue.

OVERBOSS: Faster than I expected.
OVERBOSS: Dammit.
2/ Back view of Overboss looking at his office.
OVERBOSS: No better time then, I suppose.
3/ Front view of Overboss looking down at his hand. His hand is clearly robotic, a gray coloring. His hand is robotic in the shape of something akin to an Iron Man suit.
4/ A Punisher LMD grabbing the air, and managing to get a tight grip on our Punisher’s hand. The hologram orb is being visibly crushed by his grip on Punisher's hand, squishing his grip down.
CAPTION(Punisher): Just one left.
5/ Close up on the Punisher LMD’s face. Our Punisher is slamming the Uzi into its face and firing.

SPLASH PAGE/ Punisher stands among the horde of destroyed Punisher LMDs. He doesn’t have the duffel bag on him, and he’s used up a bit of his arsenal. But he’s still considerably armed. Punisher is looking up, at Overboss who is talking off panel.
CAPTION(Punisher): Good thing I managed to plant the explosives in all the key locations and supports. Had to drag out the firefight in the process, but worth it.
OVERBOSS(OP): So, you finally found the bottom of the criminal underworld.
OVERBOSS(OP): It’s almost biblical, isn’t it?

1/ The windows on the “third level” of the assembly room. Overboss is HUGE (say, the size of Wilson Fisk) with artificial robotic size, peeking his upperbody out of the window, as if preparing to jump down. His suit is more than simple clothing now, it’s a coloring on his metallic body. He’s basically a Hulkbuster Iron Man suit, but with the white tuxedo colorscheme and a blank face that’s more human shaped. There’s no visible armory on him or weapons, he plans on using just his fists.
OVERBOSS: You faced a legion of yourself and put them all down. And now, you face the leader of the place.
OVERBOSS: And he’s much stronger than you. And the embodiment of what you’ve been destroying.
2/ Punisher’s eyes, squinted.
PUNISHER: The religious analogies aren’t going to distract me. Don’t bother.
3/ Overboss leaping down from the window.
OVERBOSS: It was worth a shot.
Page 23
SPLASH PAGE/ Back view of Punisher. Overboss is standing in front of him, taller than him by a good four feet at least. Punisher has his hands at his sides, and he’s dropped any weapons he was holding.
OVERBOSS: Let’s begin.
CAPTION(Punisher): Five minutes to spare before the detonation sequence. Before this place goes to hell.
CAPTION(Punisher): I’ll manage.
CAPTION(digital numbers): 5:00.
