Plot
The Punisher continues his mission to take down Condor's drug trade of EMC, and his folder leads him to upstate Vermont and the compound of Josiah, Condor's cooker. The Punisher easily takes out Josiah's men and only pauses when Josiah uses his own daughter Juniper as bait.
Meanwhile, Agent Ortiz and Henderson are on Frank's trail but are nowhere closer then they were days ago. At Exeter Asylum, Face meets with the doctor about improving the potence of EMC.
Back at the compound, the Punisher is able to defuse the bomb, Josiah strapped to Juniper and takes out the cooker, without his daughter seeing. Punisher then leaves the compound with Juniper safely inside the van, but he is ambushed by Face and his hired goons.
