Synopsis for 1st story
On the Pacific Coast Highway, the Punisher opened fire on Electro before retreating to make a plan and not risk civilian lives. Three hours later, Tuggs picked him up before they stopped for drinks while Frank told him about the Dos Soles using Electro and that he was in L.A. for another reason. Frank still thought that the chemical weapon was involved and planned to find their supply and destroy it or stop them from triggering its release.
Meanwhile, the Howling Commandos learned that Tuggs had covered his tracks because he never took his own vehicle to meet Frank, so Sidewinder planned to look through the vigilante's service records. Guillermo Del Sol told Electro to do his part in making sure the Dos Soles Cartel would become "untouchable" and to let them deal with the Punisher. Elsewhere, the Punisher beat Ruiz until he learned where the bosses were set up. At the Nickel Diner, Sammy paid Lou as she recalled the Punisher saving her life when she was talking to crooks and insisted that he had "the right idea", that he was "getting results", and that he was going to inspire others.
Later, the Punisher saw Dos Soles moving canisters. Del Sol told one of his men that they had to be ready by the next night, when Electro would black out the city before they could begin. As the Punisher began exchanging fire with the Dos Soles, Del Sol ordered Electro to bring him alive. The Punisher was shot and was hanging from a ledge but before falling to the ground, he shot two Dos Soles and cushioned his fall by landing on them. After killing two more on the ground in hopes of finding Del Sol, Electro electrocuted him and was prepared to bring him.
