Max Payne Page #3

And that's what makes him even more dangerous.

Mona.

Stay away from Max Payne.

You don't wanna be near him when judgment day comes.

They took her upon their wings.

Their wings are golden, the feathers only look black.

That's a Norse valkyrie. A soldier's angel.

She was such a bright light in this company.

- What is it? What's going on?

- Coffee?

It isn't that I've been missing something.

- There's something they been missing.

- So?

BB, what do you mean "so"?

And what would this company want with her art papers?

- I don't know.

- Well, who then?

Our old supervisor, what is his name?

Max.

- Max, this is enough.

- What is his name?

Colvin. John Colvin. Is he still around?

- Hold on, Max!

- BB.

Is he still working for the company?

Jason Colvin.

- The guy's name is Jason.

- Thank you.

This is Detective Bravura.

Detective, I need to speak with you about Max.

Right away, please. It's urgent.

Detective, thanks for seeing me in my office.

I need to explain what happened to Max.

The file can't tell you everything.

Unless you think that's all you need to know about Max.

Can't tell you how beautiful Michelle was.

How happy they were together.

Can't tell you how the baby lokked just like her.

It started out as a robbery.

That day, the perps were out for something more.

Michelle?

Michelle?

Michelle?

Michelle?

It's OK. They're angels now.

He was maybe ten minutes too late.

That's all.

Ten minutes.

We looked everywhere for the third guy.

But there was nothing to go on.

Max transferred to Cold Case.

Working leads that went nowhere.

Of course not.

Understand!

This is my old partner's kid.

He's family.

You gotta help him here.

You should hear the kind of things Max is saying. None of it makes any sense.

He has gotten in his head that someone here at the company is responsible.

I'm worried he's gonna

get into another situation before I can convince him to come in.

- So you really think he's...

- I think you need to find him.

What is it, Jason?

Is this a threat?

No.

No.

I just thought you should be aware.

Just take care of it, Jason.

There is someone in your office.

It's a detective.

This your daughter?

Yes, it is.

Three years old.

She's beautiful.

- Is there something I can help you with, detective?

- I don't know yet.

Maybe if you told me what this was about...

It's a homicide. Multiple homicides.

I didn't get your name.

Max Payne.

Sorry, didn't recognize you.

It's OK.

What can you tell me about what Michelle was working on?

Right before she died.

Routine projects.

Nothing really out of the ordinary.

Look, it's really hard to be specific that long ago.

Well, can you look it up?

I don't know how I would, really.

You know, that far back...

Any documents that we had would be gone and...

I'm not sure of any other way.

So there's just no trace of her?

It's nothing personal. We just...

We can't keep safe everything.

- You need to make a call?

- Maybe I should.

A beautiful office you have.

Jackie, hi...

- What do you know?

- Wait!

I need to talk to somebody about a woman that used to work here.

You can have a seat over there.

Mister Colvin?

- You're lying to me. Why?

- I'm not.

Mister Colvin?

Tell me what happened to Michelle!

I don't know.

Mister Colvin, are you OK?

Jackie?

Mister Colvin, it's Jackie. I can hear you.

Are you alright?

What was she working on?

I don't know.

I was in charge of a different project. There was a government contract.

- What did it have to do with Michelle?

- Nothing, she was just...

- Security.

- Can I speak to BB please?

Yeah!

BB, help! It's Jackie. Jason's in trouble.

What?

Shall I call the other guys?

No, no, no. I'll call.

Hurry, please!

It was a military operation.

It was something to make soldiers more aggressive in combat.

It was a disaster.

In only one percent, it made them invincible, alright?

The rest suffered horrible hallucinations.

Devils and demons.

It drove them insane.

The effects weren't controlable.

And this stuff was so addictive, we couldn't even guarantee the safety of our own scientists.

We had to shut it down.

The test subjects had taken to follow them home.

They'd kill them just for an extra dose.

- Is that what happened to Michelle?

- No.

What do you mean "no"? What hapenend to her then?

She didn't even know what was coming for her.

Mister Colvin, I called security and they're on their way.

I will tell you what happened. You gotta get me out of her though.

- Right now.

- What are you talking about?

I will confess to everything, but you gotta...

That's not good enough. You tell me what happened to her right now.

She was killed because of the drug.

The envelope. Bring it with us! Everything, it's all in there.

Please, you gotta protect me from them.

Who are you talking about?

The man who killed your wife.

Get the envelope!

Get it!

Let's go!

All down! NYPD!

Central dispatch.

This is Jim Bravura, IA.

What unit is responding to the Aesir call?

The Aesir building. You mean nobody has called anything in yet?

Would you like to report something?

Hell yes, I'd like to report something.

We have machine gun fire in Midtown.

Put your hands up!

- You need to come in now.

- Not a chance.

- Colvin knew.

Take it easy, Max! We'll talk about this right now.

Great job, boys.

You see what you did? You let him get away.

Everybody's gonna get a medal for this.

Great, damn.

I'm at the office. I'll call you back.

And will forever give them the combat edge in conflicts of the future.

Valkyr. 100% effective.

100% combat tested.

The new weapon in the war on terror.

Valkyr, the strength of freedom.

Valkyr, winning the war on terror.

You need to see this.

From the dawn of time

great generals have always known the one fundamental truth of warfare.

Morale wins battles.

Thanks to the breakthroughs made by Aesir Pharmaceuticals

the military of tomorrow will be able to unlock the limitless potential

insde every soldier.

Introducing Valkyr, the strength of freedom.

That's what this is about? A drug?

How is your experience of combat improved

since taking the drug Valkyr?

Well, I'm never scared for starters.

Describe to me, if you will,

how is Valkyr winning the war on terror?

You face down a group of insurgents and instead of fear

you're filled with peace, I guess.

It's like something's watching over you from above.

You feel like you have wings.

So when you say you feel stronger, more secure, more capable.

Definitely. It's just whatever it takes to win the war out there.

You feel indestructible. Nothing can stop me.

I can face anything.

Have you noticed any side effects?

I can only speak for myself and no.

I apologize.

- You wanna do it again?

- No, we're good.

Killed my wife.

He's in an old club called Ragnarock.

- You know where it is?

- Yeah.

Forget it, Max! You go there, you die.

You have my help with anything else, but not to go in there.

Yeah, you keep it.
