==Kidnapping==
Amy Bendix learned that Nikolai Poloznev would be at the New York Academy of Medicine where he usually gets breakfast with his daughter. While the Punisher knocked down the driver, Bendix pretended to be a waitress and got to Poloznev, showing him the pictures of David Schultz, much to his shock. Poloznev ordered his bodyguards to follow Bendix and apprehend her, as Poloznev himself decided to return to the car and get away from there.
However, the Punisher who replaced his driver took Poloznev outside of the town to interrogate him. Threatening Poloznev with the shotgun, the Punisher demanded him to tell everything about the deal with the Russian Mafia and the pictures. Poloznev then explained that he paid for the picture to manipulate the Schultz family and Testament Industries in order to get his hands to the US Government.
The Punisher informed Poloznev that he did not kill nor Sergei Konchevsky, nor Kazan, and someone else was hunting for him. Poloznev offered the Punisher to unite against the Schultzes, however, the Punisher dismissed his offer and prepared to kill Poloznev. Poloznev was not afraid of death and asked the Punisher just not to shoot him in the face, as he wanted his daughter to identify him. The Punisher reluctantly decided to spare Poloznev and demanded to take his family and leave the country or he will find him.
==Aftermath==
Accepting the chance provided by Frank Castle, Nikolai Poloznev prepared to leave the United States of America together with his family. As he was in the elevator with his bodyguards, Poloznev was suddenly confronted by John Pilgrim who killed the bodyguards and, after the brief pause, assassinated Poloznev himself, shooting him in the head and leaving his body behind.
