The Punisher 2004

The Punisher: I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will be confused. One: Si vis pacem, para bellum. Latin. Boot Camp Sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. Si vis pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war.[cut to later, as Frank prepares his weapons for the final attack on Saints gang]The Punisher: Two: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. Three: in certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, its an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment.

[last lines]The Punisher: Those who do evil to others - the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists - you will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me... The Punisher.

If you know the word, tell me because I dont.
