Synopsis for "Castle Technique"
The Punisher set his sights on accused murderer Gary Saunders, who was kept in Utah State Maximum Penitentiary. Then, Microchip presented the Punisher with a helicopter that could fit two people.
In order to fit both the helicopter and his gear, he borrowed a Peterbilt truck. He stopped by a diner in Nebraska, where turned down a waitress' invitation to a party. The Punisher examined the map of the prison in Utah in his truck before he attacked two men attempting to steal the truck and learned that they were sent by the Underground Liberation Army.
After arriving in Utah, he stopped by another diner. The next day, the Punisher arrived at the prison with the helicopter and broke Saunders out. After the Punisher landed the helicopter next to his truck, Saunders hit him with a wooden board, attempting to beat him to death, as he knew that Lydia didn't send him. Then, Lydia arrived with two members of the Underground Liberation Army only to shoot Saunders dead and leave with the Punisher's truck. After being left to die, his informant, a guard from the prison named Ortiz rescued him in his jeep.
