Episode Synopsis:

Ben Reilly has a new case. He has been hired by Cat Hardy to investigate the disappearance of her bodyguard Flint Marko. Even though he suspects Cat is hiding information from him, Ben finds a photo in Flint's apartment. He discovers that Sandman Marko and Flameman Addison were former World War I soldiers in France. He also discovers that both worked as enforcers for The Big Boss Silvermane.

When pressed by Ben for the connection, Cat admits Silvermane owns the Alcove and says she has personal reasons for searching for Flint Marko unconnected to the club owner.

Ben's journalist friend Robbie Robertson follows up on his leads and interviews James Addison's widow and learns she has been spending the money Addison earned from burning down Silvermane's mansion on a luxurious lifestyle, but he gets no leads on who hired Addison for the Silvermane job.

Meanwhile, Marko's condition has worsened as his skin has remained the texture of sand. So he has chosen to hide with his friend Lonnie Lincoln, another member of his World War I squad from France.

After Silvermane's men threaten his secretary Janet, Ben chooses to become the Spider again so that he can intimidate Silvermane into leaving Ben and Janet alone.

But he later learns from Robbie that Silvermane was on his way to an alcohol shipment at the docks, where the police had planned to arrest him for his smuggling operation. So the intervention of The Spider unintentionally saved him from arrest.

Episode Synopsis:

In the 1920s, private investigator Ben Reilly once operated as the vigilante "the Spider" but retired after his fiancée, Ruby Williams, died.

In 1933, Ben and another PI, Donegal, are hired to find criminal Jimmy Addison. When Addison reveals he can set himself on fire and threatens the PI, Donegal shoots and kills him.

Later Ben Reilly is hired to investigate nightclub singer Cat Hardy, for infidelity by a man named Carmedy claiming to be her husband. Tracking her to the Redcliff hotel, Ben uses his webbing to discreetly stop Cat's supposed lover from assaulting her. While studying the photos he took, Ben and his secretary, Janet, discover that Cat's companion is Mayor Alfred Morris. Unsure about the reasons for the case, Ben decides to drop the case.

Another bombshell hits Reilly when he and Donegal learn that the man who hired them to investigate Addison, a man called Winston, is the right-hand man for crime boss Silvermane, whose mansion was burned down by Addison in an attempt to kill him.

After learning the police recovered Addison's body, Donegal wants to further shakedown Silvermane for a thousand dollars for the information on Addison. Reilly advises him against it as he heads to the Alcove nightclub to try to make some money out of his photos and blackmail Cat.

Elsewhere, knowing that Addison is dead Silvermane tortures and kills Donegal to get information on Addison for free, while Cat sends her bodyguard Flint Marko, a man able to turn his body into sand, after Ben.

Ben decides to abandon the blackmail after learning of Marko’s condition. But the next day, Cat arrives at his office and hires him to investigate the sand man’s disappearance.

Derek, Chris and John return to watch Frank Castle find his purpose again in Punisher One Last Kill the Marvel Special Presentation. Sometimes, as Marvel fans with such a huge breath of excellent shows and movies, you have to watch something that has no real purpose. Despite a brilliant cast and some great action moments we couldn't find much positive to say about this one.

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green

Written by Reinaldo Marcus Green with Jon Bernthal

Episode Synopsis:

Frank Castle, as the brutal vigilante known as the Punisher, kills members of the Gnucci Crime Family who are believed to be the last criminals involved in the deaths of his family.

The Gnucci's former territory in New York City's Little Sicily neighborhood becomes overrun with crime.

Castle lives in a Little Sicily apartment complex where he is haunted by hallucinations of people from his past. After locking up his Punisher gear, Castle goes to his family's graves to take his life but is stopped by a hallucination of his daughter Lisa.

Castle walks aimlessly through the chaotic streets, haunted by an apparition of his military friend Curtis Hoyle.

He is cornered by crime lord Ma Gnucci, the matriarch of the Gnucci Crime Family, who seeks revenge for Castle's murder of her husband and three sons. Ma Gnucci reveals that she has placed a bounty on Castle's head, attracting every common criminal in the area.

Returning to his apartment, he sees a vision of his friend Karen Page, who scolds Castle for his failures but also consoles him.

A small army of criminals enters the apartment complex and attacks innocent residents looking to claim the bounty on Frank Castle.

When his apartment is set on fire, Frank escapes and ruthlessly dispatches criminals, fighting his way to the rooftop before jumping off.

He has an opportunity to pursue Ma Gnucci, but instead decides to protect local shop owner Dre, his wife Debbie, and their daughter Charli.

After the fighting is over, Charli gives Frank Castle a paper rose which he puts on Lisa's grave. Castle decides that he still has work to do as the Punisher.

Now fully tooled up Frank Castle once again returns to the streets with a new Punisher costume and arsenal. He stops a group of thugs from attacking innocent people and kills their leader.
