Synopsis for "War in Bagalia: part four"
A man wearing a vest that looked like the Punisher's, was about to be hanged and attempted to tell the Hydra agents about to hang him that he wasn't really Frank Castle. Meanwhile, a prisoner crashed a truck carrying oil into a prison wall, also neutralizing a guard tower that was firing at him. More guards opened fire on them because a prisoner named Domovo hesitated to cut off the air supply to the armory, getting some of the prisoners killed as a result. While the prisoners escaped, Frank put on body armor and opened fire on the guards before they shut themselves back inside. Frank threw smoke grenades inside, luring two guards out before he shot them, killing one and wounding one before he shot him in the head.
Taskmaster fired a flamethrower at Frank before the vigilante threw a knife at the flamethrower's gas tank, blowing the mercenary away before he defended himself with a gun designed by Zemo's scientists, reopening the skull-shaped wound on his chest. Taskmaster was prepared to execute Frank with his sword before he learned that Zemo planned to have Jigsaw kill him and that he would no longer need "the Avengers' whipping boy in his country" and that he gave him the magic bullet that killed the Mandarin. He believed that Frank was lying and stabbed him with his sword before Frank grabbed a pipe and caused a spark by scratching onto the sword, causing a fire as it interacted with gasoline. Frank fought Taskmaster with the pipe before being disarmed and before he could be beheaded, Sister Mercy saved him by hitting Taskmaster with a truck and presented him a flag with a skull meant to resemble his own.
Zemo and Jigsaw observed the body of the hanged man who was supposed to be the Punisher. Instead of "popping him in his greasy head", Zemo wanted to turn Frank into a Hydra super-soldier. When Zemo's butler attempted to tell him about the prison, he shot and killed him. Jigsaw turned on the television, saw the burning prison with the flag with the skull flying, and asked Zemo how he was going to find Frank. Zemo claimed that finding him was never the hard part and that it was figuring out how to stop him, as Frank drove a tank bearing his skull symbol on the streets.
