The cold-sweaty drug dealer slows down as he approaches a traffic jam. Frank stops his car right next to his car. Frank breaks into the car and starts brutally beating him, all because he sold drugs to his daughter.

He continues until another patrol of police arrives, and this time manages to arrest the enraged Frank Castle. The police call the paramedics who pick up the drug dealer, who is close to death. Frank is arrested and charged with aggravated assault, violence against officer and murder on several different occasions.
