Max Payne Page #4

Synopsis: Three years ago, NYPD detective Max Payne's wife and baby were murdered. Max gets himself transferred to the cold case office where he can continue searching for the killer who got away. He's a loner, but two people reach out to him during a fateful week: Alex, his ex-partner who may have found a clue, and BB, the security chief at the pharmaceutical company where Max's wife worked. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up, some as a result of a drug on the street that is highly addictive and, for many who take it, brings hideous hallucinations. When one of the bodies is a woman Payne was the last to see alive, her sister comes looking for him armed to the teeth; Max must move fast.

You don't wanna make it out alive.

Do you think that if he puts you out of your misery, you'll be with them again?

Yeah, I hope that's really the way it works.

Unit six, Lupino is secure.

Do you hear them coming?

We'll see which one of us they're flying for.

We'll see which one of us they love best.

Angels.

The angels are not done with you yet.

BB?

What's going on here, BB?

Let's go!

Let's get out of here!

BB, BB, what's going on here?

BB, I looked at Lupino. He didn't know who I was.

What are you doing here?

- Now?

- No, not yet.

Cuff him!

What was I supposed to do? Michelle kept nosing around.

Some boxes from the dead project went missing.

She mentionned it to me without knowing what it really meant. I had to...

I had to talk to her.

Show her my side before she took it to someone else.

Before that night...

The things that went wrong for me seemed impossible to do anything about.

Michelle was the first problem in my life

small enough to reach out and stop.

Once that happened

I realized I could use the strength of my hands

to keep one thing from being taken away from me.

At the time Michelle stopped screaming that night,

I'd learned the most amazing lesson.

I could keep doing this my entire life.

I was a new person that night.

And from there,

figuring out how to put the drug on the street,

how to make use of Lupino and the rest of them,

it was easy.

But only because of Michelle,

the first problem I really solved for myself.

OK, enough!

Enough of this sh*t.

BB.

It's not like we didn't see it coming.

Sullen, withdrawn, Max just never seemed the same after the tragedy.

Grab me some of that rope!

It's a good thing your father didn't live to see it.

The great Bill Payne's only son.

A strung-out junkie suicide.

It would have eaten him alive.

Get him down!

Screw him!

He'll freeze to death.

Come on!

Not yet, Max.

Neville.

What the hell is going on?

Why is half my force sitting here instead of being out on the street?

Under what authority...

I'm investigating the shooting of an unarmed civilian, Jason Colvin,

and the attempted murder of Detective Max Payne.

Really? I heard he took the first shot

and if I know the kind of men that I serve with

I don't think that they're gonna contradict that.

And what kind of men would that be?

These are the real cops.

- No offense.

- None taken.

Agent Taliente, I'd like you to meet a real cop.

Detective, Jack Taliente, special agent, FBI.

Who are you?

Bravura called in the FBI.

They are on their way.

For god's sake, come on!

Max is dead. They got nothing else.

Come on!

Calm down, Joe!

The car is waiting, sir.

Oh sh*t!

He's not dead. He's here.

Bullshit.

Where the hell is he?

Who are you calling?

It's late.

I need you to send a helicopter to the roof.

What are you talking about, BB?

The Michelle Payne thing is coming back on us.

Take some C4.

Wire it, so he can't make it to the roof.

Are you nuts?

You saw him. You saw him, Joe.

He's not gonna stop.

We got multiple shots fired.

We need back-up ASAP.

- Michelle?

- Max.

Max.

Max.

Max, come on!

Listen. I will hold them off for as long as I can, but you have to finish this.

Max, come on!

Come on!

Help me! Take it!

Max, come on! Look at me!

You're not done yet.

Be careful with that thing!

Come on now, Mona!

I'm sure we can work something out.

BB.

Detective Max Payne is in the line of fire.

Snipers will not take the shot.

Bravura.

Take Payne alive if there's anything left.

Now I'm down, BB.

- Bravura, you alright?

- Get everybody upstairs now!

Guys, that's our cue. Division one, let's go right now!

On the floor. Let's go!

Where are you?

It's unbelievable. All that snow.

I watch it end up being a beautiful day.

You want my confession first?

I don't know about heaven.

But I do believe in angels.

It's dad.

It's your dad.

Not yet, Max.

Max Payne is alive.
