Synopsis
Sent by the Kingpin, the assassin, Kleigg, infiltrates the Punisher's Everglades compound and kills Reese before the Punisher can take him out. The Punisher and Microchip hack back into Kingpin's computer system to do more damage. The Kingpin hires a young hacker to stop Micro's cyber warfare but critical damage has already been done. The Punisher and his allies hit the hotel where the Kingpin is having to count his money by hand with his computer systems down. Kingpin anticipates the move and brings a battle tank to pit against Punisher's battle van.
