==Plot==
Seamus and the Kitchen Irish hold a wake for the victims of the Burren Club massacre, however, Finn Cooley suddenly shows up. Cooley looks at the corpse of his son, as Seamus offers his condolences, although mentions that death is a part of the deal, before Cooley kills him with an ice pick. Cooley then addresses the Kitchen Irish, saying that they must get back at the Punisher, as he also stole $1.2 million of their money. The Kitchen Irish scours the city, forcing people around the neighborhood to tell them what they know, until they find the Punisher's hideout. Looking at the map, Cooley realizes that the Punisher will be at the Central Park, so they take Max and leave, unaware that the Punisher was watching over them.
Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson attend the funeral of Elliot Grote at the Clinton Church, being the only ones to mourn his death. The ceremony is presided by Paul Lantom who says that despite Grote's flaws, he genuinely hoped for redemption, but did not get the chance. While Nelson and Page go back to the office, Murdock talks to Lantom, saying that he tried to prevent Grote's death but failed, which makes him feel guilty. Lantom tells Murdock that guilt is the soul's call to action, a sign that his work is not yet finished.
Back at the office, Nelson and Page go through the Punisher's files that Page got from Blake Tower, which also included the X-ray of his skull with a bullet hole in it. Page ponders if the Punisher is not the worst in the whole story and the DA's office is trying to cover up something big, but Nelson says that digging would end with them losing their carreers or their lives. While Nelson and Murdock decide to move on and work on other cases, they find out that Page left and took the Punisher's files with her. Murdock goes to search for her, but Nelson tells him that he should find the Punisher first, so he goes to Melvin Potter to collect new fortified parts for his suit.
Page goes to meet George Bach and although he's initially terrified that he had been approached again, Page assures him that all she wants is to talk. Being a former nurse at Metro-General Hospital, Bach tells Page about the unidentified man who was brought to the hospital with a bullet in his head. He was only visited by people in the suits who eventually put a Do Not Resuscitate order on him. The doctors complied and pulled the plug, but after a minute of clinical death, the man suddenly came back to his senses. Once he regained consciousness, the man asked Bach to take him home, which he did and it got him fired from the hospital, prompting Page to ask for the address.
At night, the Punisher goes to Central Park and sits on a bench in front of the carousel, before he finds himself surrounded by the Kitchen Irish. Rory tells the Punisher to come with them, and stabs him with a hypodermic needle, and although being weakened, he manages to kill several attackers. As the Punisher is needed alive, he gets tazed and the Kitchen Irish take the uncounscious Punisher away. The New York City Police Department investigates the shootout, while Brett Mahoney gets approached by Daredevil. He looks for the information, but Mahoney refuses to tell anything, since his vigilantism only makes the police's job harder. Daredevil, however, finds barely alive Rory and makes him tell where the Kitchen Irish have taken the Punisher.
Page goes to an address she got from Bach and finds a house, owned by the Castle family. She finds the home being completely empty and during the search, she finds a kid's bedroom with a book One Batch, Two Batch, as well as the numerous medals and photographs, depicting Frank Castle with his family.
The Punisher finds himself restrained and tied to a chair, while the Kitchen Irish members beat him, Cooley demands the Punisher to give them their money back. As the Punisher remains silent, Cooley tortures him but with no effect, so Cooley threatens do the same to his dog, forcing the Punisher to come clean. Meanwhile, Daredevil finds the location where the Punisher was taken and fights the Kitchen Irish on the guard to clear the way. The Punisher gives Cooley a location of his van where he kept the money, but when Cooley sends his men to fetch the money, they die in the explosion that the Punisher prepared. The Punisher then frees himself and kills other men in the room, before asking Cooley who killed his family. Without getting any sort of appropriate answer from Cooley, the Punisher responds by shooting him in the face.
The Punisher fights his way out but finds himself being outnumbered, before Daredevil bursts in and helps him fight the Kitchen Irish, although preventing the Punisher from killing anyone. Daredevil brings the badly injured Punisher to a nearby cemetery, and he admits that he was wrong, thinking about Daredevil as weak. Daredevil asks the Punisher about the chant he said before pulling the trigger, and the Punisher says that it was from his daughter's favorite book. The Punisher tells him about that after he returned from the war, all he could think about is meeting his family, although he got too tired to even read a book for his daughter. The next day, when he, his wife, daughter, and a son went to Central Park, they were caught in a crossfire of a gang shootout.
After that day, the Punisher vowed to get his revenge on the criminals who killed his family, but now he tells Daredevil that he is done. Mahoney arrives at the cemetery to arrest both Daredevil and the Punisher, while Daredevil tells him to claim all credit for the Punisher's arrest. Mahoney is confused and Daredevil explains that the people of Hell's Kitchen need to know that they can rely on the police to protect the peace in the city. Mahoney ultimately decides to let Daredevil go, and although he could not understand him or his methods, Mahoney knew that Daredevil is not the same as the Punisher.
At Josie's Bar, Murdock, Nelson, and Page watch the news about the Punisher's arrest, and toast to a safe Hell's Kitchen. As Nelson buys rounds for the table, Murdock asks Page about her brother, who she mentioned before, while Nelson notices that Murdock looks happier than usual. Afterwards, Page walks Murdock to his apartment, before the two share a kiss and agree to have dinner together sometime. Walking into his apartment, Murdock suddenly senses someone's presense and finds Elektra in his apartment, much to his shock.

==Trivia==
*During the scene where the Punisher tells Daredevil about his family, Daredevil appears to cry from underneath his mask. However, this is actually a trickle of Charlie Cox's sweat leaking out his mask after carrying Jon Bernthal so many times.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mcjEfPmKfE&ab_channel=ckmars
