"We will beat every mother's son in this city till I have my money in my hands, and this shooter's on his knees, alive."
Finn Cooley[src]

The Kidnapping of the Punisher was an abduction orchestrated by Finn Cooley, who tortured Frank Castle and threatened his dog for information about the money Castle had stolen from the Kitchen Irish. However, Cooley was tricked by Castle, who had planned on being captured so that he could exact his revenge on Cooley.

Rory demands to know the Punisher's home

In the wake of Massacre at the Burren Club, high-ranking member of Kitchen Irish Finn Cooley arrived at New York City to take revenge on the Punisher who killed his son and stole $1.2 million from them. Cooley and his man scoured the city looking for information about the Punisher. Eventually, they came to the hideout where the Punisher has been living. Cooley saw a map of the city with tickets for the Central Park pinned to it, he realized where the shooter will be. As they left, they took Castle's dog Max with them.[3]

"Don't shoot! We want him alive!"
"Who? Who needs me alive?"
Rory and Punisher[src]

At night in Central Park, Frank Castle sat on a bench in front of the carousel until Rory arrived with some members of the Kitchen Irish. Rory was able to stab Castle with a hypodermic needle. Castle subdued Rory, who yells at his men not to shoot, as Castle is wanted alive. Castle managed to shoot several of the men. Cooley showed himself, and Castle, weakened by the tranquilizer, was tazed, rendered unconscious and taken away. Later, Daredevil found Rory, barely alive, and asked him to tell him where the Irish have taken Castle.

Finn Cooley restrained Castle and began beating and torturing him with a drill to get him to reveal where his money is. Nearby, Daredevil attacked the men guarding the location and incapacitated them. Inside, Cooley has his men bring in Castle's dog and threatened to torture the dog if Castle doesn't reveal where his money. Castle finally told him that it's in a van and gave the location.

Cooley sent men to the van, but when they recovered the briefcase with the money inside, it is shown to have been rigged to explode. Cooley heard all this over the phone and is unprepared when Castle freed himself and killed the other men in the room. He asked Cooley who killed his wife and children, and when Cooley laughed and asked "who cares", Castle shot him in the face.

Castle fought his way through the building but found himself outnumbered. At that moment Daredevil busted in, and together the two incapacitated the Irish, with Daredevil stopping Castle from killing them.[3]

Daredevil took the badly injured Frank Castle to the Saint Michael's Cemetery and leaned him against a gravestone, telling him that help is on the way.

He explained that the people of Hell's Kitchen needs to know that the New York City Police Department was looking out for them. Mahoney let Daredevil go, and took Castle into custody.
