"I don't believe in heaven." "I believe in pain." "I believe in fear." "I believe in death." "There's an army of bodies under this river." "Criminals." "People who ran outta time." "Out of friends." "Next time they drag this river... they will find me on the bottom with the rest of them." "And there won't be anyone left to say I was different." "I could feel the dead down there." "Just below my feet." "Reaching up to welcome me as one of their own." "It was an easy mistake to make." "All the cold investigations in the city... are collected up..." "and delivered over here to us." "And we call each of the witnesses... to see if they have anything to add to their original statements." "And if they can't?" "Then we send the file back to the original precinct for follow-up." "Don't get your hopes up though." "This is the cold case office." "Once you've been through the file and come up empty, you bring it here." "Max here..." "handles all our files." "If it hits his desk, the case is officially dead." "So what if there's no phone number for a witness?" "Should I do a follow-up in person?" "No, no... we don't do that kind of stuff down here." "I don't understand..." "then how..." "How am I supposed to solve the unsolvable murder mystery... and redeem myself?" " Man, internal affairs..." " Stop!" "Alright, trust me!" "There's a tragic story behind... why I'm standing here giving you this tour." "We all did something, so just save it." "What do you say, we grab a beer after work or something?" " So what's his story?" " There is none." " But back there you said..." " Listen!" "His wife and kid were murdered." "They never found the guy." "That's his story." "Remember when you were a kid... and you'd hold your breath when you went past the graveyard?" "That's what do, leave that man alone." "Yo, homey." "That's a really nice watch." "Kinda reminds me of the one I lost." "You didn't lose it." "You pawned it up on 128th a few hours ago." "Ask Doug." "He was there with you." "You follow us, asshole?" "No." "I'm only following you." "Oh hell no." "You a cop or somethin'?" "Not tonight." "That's too bad." "Now go get my watch!" "Come on, Doug." "Come get his watch!" "I guess this ain't your lucky day, now is it?" "Ahh... no don't shoot..." "Watch over me!" "Watch over me!" "Watch over me!" "Watch over me!" "Open your eyes!" "..." "Now!" "Have you ever seen this woman?" "No." "You got busted robbing a house in New Jersey with William Preston... six months ago." "Bill's dead." "Why the hell do you think I'm talking to you?" "Did you ever hear anyone say anything about this woman?" "Bill died..." "Bill died because their wings couldn't lift him up." "No, he got shot robbing a liquor store." "What're you talking about?" "Their wings are golden, the feathers only look black..." "Get up!" " Hey buddy!" " Man, I told you not to come here." "William Preston was a dead end." "I'm done... helping you, Max." "I paid my debt to society, you know." "I..." "I've cooperated..." "enough, man." "Okay?" " What's going on in there?" " Well, it's a dinner party, okay?" "Now, I'm a little offended I didn't get no invitation." "Well, I didn't send out invitations..." "Look, I told you." "Go find Bill's partner." "I did." "Doug only wanted to talk about birds or something." "He was a whack job." " Now I need a new name." " I'm out of ideas then." " Hey baby." " Not now, bitch." "Look!" "Okay?" "I told you, I don't know those kinds of people now." " I moved up in the world, Max." " I can see that." "This is a dinner party." "Alright, these are my friends." "You remember friends?" "Listen!" "If you don't give me a new name..." "I'm gonna start frisking everyone of your friends." "Three years on the street is a lifetime, man." "Whoever you're looking for, there's no way they are still out there." "You're chasing ghosts, Max." "If you tried sleeping once in a while, you could see that for yourself." "I thought I knew all of Trevor's friends." "Max, Natasha." "Natasha, Max." "Jesus Christ!" "Got a light?" "I don't smoke." "Interesting." " What?" " Your tattoo... that's interesting." "Oh, thank you." " Shit!" " What?" "Wait here." "What're you doing here?" " Let's go!" "You're coming with me right now." " Hey!" "Mind your own business!" " You have no right to do this." " Yeah?" "Hm'hm..." "I'm clean." " I'm not doing anything wrong." " Oh, yeah?" "Come on, let's go!" "Why don't you relax?" "It's a party." "Have a drink!" "These are new friends." "They're not the same people." "I don't see the others anymore!" "He's a cop." "How much trouble can I get into?" "My sister!" "Sort of a bitch." "Max!" "Please, you have to go!" "Okay?" "Now!" "I need to ask her something first." "Oh Jesus Christ!" "There you are." "Where did you go?" "Take me somewhere." "I'll tell you." "See you around, Lupino." "Take it easy!" "So... you just move in?" "So we're somewhere." "What's going on in that room back there?" "Hey!" "Who's the guy with the tattoos on his face?" "Fine... what was her name?" "What're you talkin' about?" "Who?" "The girl from the boring story you wanna tell me." "The one that ends with you living here." "Very sad." "I tell you what..." "call me by her name!" "That way you can make love to her just like she never left you." "Oh, Max!" "..." "I missed you." "Get out!" "What?" "You're kidding?" "I said... get out now!" " You're kicking me... out of your bed?" " Yeah!" "Get your shit and get out!" "This is Owen." "Leave a message!" "Owen!" "It's Natasha." "Where's Lupino?" "I need some more stuff." "You hear." "Call me, okay?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Not yet!" "Not yet!" " What?" " Look... jump in, will you?" " Where're we goin'?" " I need you to look at something." " What happened to them?" " Her... just one." "I don't believe it." "What're you two back together again?" "Did you kiss and make up?" "Where are we on the weapon?" "We're nowhere yet." "Looks like a blade, but... huh... it's too much blood for that to be right." "Hey, O'Brian!" "Hey listen..." " Why're you showing me this?" " We found this here." "Did you know her, Max?" "Natasha." "Let's take a ride." " What're we doing here?" " We're getting a beer, right?" "You'd rather do this in the streets?" "Fine!" "You were with the victim last night." "Your wallet was found in the alley." "If you don't wanna talk to me... they're gonna send somebody who doesn't know you... and won't care about your side of the story." "I didn't kill her, so I don't need a side." "What's going on, Max?" "What're you mixed up in, man?" "You can talk to me." "You know what they think about you at the force already, right?" "You should hear all the questions I get about my old partner." "A good thing you got my back then, huh?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "That means it would be filed to an unsolved murder..." "I don't have much hope for that girl in the alley." "Is that what you think?" "That I blew Michelle's case?" "I..." "I did everything!" "Everything!" "He's still out there somewhere." "One of 'em is still out there." "That's everything, alright?" "We're done here." "Come on!" "Max!" "[Speaking Russian]" " Detective Max Payne..." " Shit." "I'm not here." "Please leave a message." "Max, it's me, Alex." "Miss Sax?" "Sorry for your loss." "And..." "We pulled this off on her log." "Her last call was to an..." "Owen Green." "She called him twice." "Max, it's me, Alex." "You're not gonna believe this but I think there's a connection... between that girl in the alley and Michelle's murder." "I'm heading over to your apartment right now." "Alex?" "You in here?" "Alex?" "Alex?" "Alex?" "The E.R. doctor's old man was a patrolman in the 45th." "Got you on a quiet floor." "B" " B?" " Where am I?" " Saint Mary's." "You came in looking pretty bad, Max." "What happened?" "I don't know..." "Alex..." "When... dispatch couldn't raise him, they... found out from Christa where he'd gone." "First unit got to you in time." "But Alex was..." "Alex was dead." "I got six shots off." "I hit something... someone." "You gotta check the hospitals." "I'm not a cop anymore, Max." "I came to see about you." "He wanted to tell me something." "Listen!" "Anything you can remember would help." "They got nothing for leads." "The whole force has you pegged as the prime suspect." "Then you tell them, where they can find me." "Wake starts in an hour." "I'll pass that along." " What'd you think you're doing?" " Paying my respects." "Not like that, alright?" "I should have a clean shirt for you at the office." "It's on the way." "Mister Hensley?" "There you go." "When did they move in here?" " I guess we got the building last year." " We?" "Sorry." "Used to be a habit." " Good morning, Spike." " Good morning, Mister Hensley." "You know the drill, sir." "Sign in the guest, please." "Oh my god." "Max!" "Hello, Miss Horne." "How have you been?" "Fine, thanks." "I hope you know you can always call me." "Please, Max." "If there is ever anything we can..." "I know." "I've been meaning to." "I got the cards, too." "She was such a bright light in this company." "I'm not making any guarantees that any of these will fit." "I saved one of those for you." "Third page from the back." "They set up a scholarship in her name." "Kept coming to me for suggestions about what she might want." "I said art." "She liked art, right?" "They knew we were close." "Thought I was family." "It's a nice thing, a scholarship." "Good way to remember somebody." "Hey Joe!" "Max, you remember Joe, huh?" "Hey!" "You here to pick up some overtime?" "I'd think twice about that." "I hear the boss is a real asshole." "Now that he's head of security, we're supposed to laugh at his jokes." "They still pay me like a janitor." "She's looking for you, just tried me in my office, dude." "Wait a second." "Yeah?" "Hello..." "Christa." "Jesus." "All it would have taken was one word from you." "To give Alex some peace." "Are you happy now, Max?" "You made him think he hadn't done enough." "What have you done, Max?" "What has Max Payne done?" "Except for bringing misery... to everyone who ever cared for him?" "Now please, get out of my house!" "Please, just go!" "Ah, jeez..." "Watch out for this prick!" "Detective Max Payne?" "Jim Bravura, Internal Affairs." "I need you to come with me." "Now?" "Yeah now." "How'd the girl have your wallet?" "She stole it." "What do you mean?" "Stole like..." "Picked your pocket?" "How was it you know each other?" "We met through a friend." "Trevor Duncan." "He's your friend?" " Yes." " That's classy." "You know what Trevor does for a living, I assume?" "He used to snitch for me." "Christ!" "Tell me something, Max!" "What's a glorified file clerk still need a snitch for, huh?" "So you'll piss in a cup for us, right?" "You just said the magic word." "You call me next, once you hear from the union lawyer." "You and Detective Balder... haven't worked together since your reassignment." "What made you get back in touch?" " He wanted to talk." " And?" "Hey asshole!" "I got two bodies in ten body bags... and you were the last person to see either one." "Yeah, and some of that blood is mine." "Good luck with your case." "Nice work, detective." "Look... if you're really his friend..." "then talk to him." "Well, let's hope that felt good." "It makes you look guilty." "You understand that, right?" "Not just Alex's unit thinks you're the guy." "You'll need some friends on the force right now." "There's only so much I can do from the outside." "Where're you going?" "Is that him?" "Where you think you're going, buddy?" "Hey..." "I don't believe it." "That's the guy." "Where do you think you're going, asshole?" "The detective in this office was killed the other day." "Get back here, asshole!" "Where'd you think you're going?" "Stop right there, Max!" "You're not supposed to go in there." "Back up!" "Back up!" "Make a hole!" "Back up, god-damm-it!" "Make a hole!" "God-damn-it!" "Open up, Max!" "Open up the god-damn door, Max!" "Open up!" "For god sake!" "Open up!" "Open the door!" "Open it!" "Open up, mate!" "Open up, god-damn-it, Max!" "Open up!" "Open the door!" "Son of a bitch!" "Hey buddy." "Where is he?" "Oh, for god sake, Max." "You're gonna freeze to death." " Why don't you come inside?" " Alex knew something about Michelle." "Something new." "Don't you think he would have told you if he had something like that?" "He was trying to the night he was killed." "Whatever was in that room that night with us." "What exactly do you think you're looking for?" " Just forget it, alright?" " Max, talk to me!" "Max!" "Now where're you going?" "Drop it, shithead!" "Take it easy!" "Remove your back-up piece with your left hand!" "That's it." " Kneel down!" " What?" "Kneel the fuck down!" "Shit!" "We need to talk about my sister." "Look, my partner was killed, too." "We're both looking for the same person." "Yeah, you!" "Who's Owen Green?" " How did you get that name?" " Natasha called him..." "Don't say her name!" "I heard her call him, Okay?" "Owen was probably the last person who saw her alive." "Yeah?" "Except for the guy that left his wallet lying by the body." "Does that sound like something a homicide cop gets wrong?" "Whoever killed your sister... probably did the same thing to my partner an maybe my..." "Look, you wanna help, help me find Owen Green!" "Right here." "Green is on the top floor." "You know what I do for a living." "You try anything and I'll kill you." " Who's this guy." " Some jerk my sister used to know." "Owen." "Owen, open up!" "Owen." "Owen." "Hey!" "Owen." "Hey, Owen." "They're coming." "Owen..." "look at me!" "Owen, Owen, look at me!" "I know Natasha called you." "You know what happened to her?" "She's gone." "They took her." "Owen?" "Owen, just relax." "They took her upon their wings." "They took her." "Owen?" "Jesus!" "You know it isn't anything new." "People jump out of windows." "They go crazy for no reason." "It just happens." "Natasha got all her work done here." "I'll have to call back, okay?" " Can I help you with somethin'?" " Yeah." "What if I wanted to get this tattoo?" "You're in the Marine Corps?" " This one." " What's it mean?" "That's a Norse valkyrie." "The Vikings used to wear them for protection." "Valkyries fly over the battlefield... picking out the righteous dead." "They reward the people, who draw first blood." "A soldier's angel." "In Norse mythology, the only way you get to go to heaven... is to die... in violence." "You die in your sleep, you go to hell." "Protection from what?" " Huh?" " What do you mean "Huh"?" "You said people get the tattos for protection." "What're they afraid of?" "Please!" "That's far enough." "I need to speak with Lincoln." "You get your gun when you leave." "Are you expecting company there, Lincoln?" "Safe measures I know." " I heard about your sister." " Yeah?" "You know anything about it?" "She will not be the last." "What about the tattoos?" "What do they mean?" "The wings?" "He mocks them." "And what does that mean?" "The devil is building his army." "Yeah?" "Does this devil have a name?" "Vinnie." "The one you're looking for is Lupino." "A place called Ragnarock." "It's an old club, east side." "Listen... um... you still got an in with the cops, right?" "See if you can learn anything about a Detective Max Payne." "Max Payne?" " What?" " Max Payne, he's been hunting." "Three years of kicking down doors." "He's looking for something that god wants to stay hidden." "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." " It's something they been missing." " So?" "B" " B, what'd you mean "so"?" "And what would somebody want with them art papers?" " I don't know." " Who would then?" "Our old supervisor, what was this guys name?" "Max." " Max, this is enough." " What is his name?" "Colvin." "John Colvin." "Is he still around?" " Hold on, Max!" " B-B." "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 at 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 looked just like her." "It started out as a robbery." "That day the... huh, perps were out for something more." "Michelle?" "Michelle?" "Michelle?" "Michelle?" "It's okay." "They're angels..." "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." "He was... never the same." "Of course not." "You understand!" "Max, is my old partner's kid." "He's family." "You gotta help him here." "You should hear the kinda 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 not..." " I think you need to find him." "What is it, Jason?" "I... huh..." "Is this a threat?" "No." "No... huh..." "I just thought you should be aware of." "Take care of it, Jason." "There's someone in your office." "It's... a detective." "That's 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 is about..." "It's a homicide." "Multiple homicides." "I didn't get your name." "Max Payne." "Sorry..." "I didn't recognize you." "That's okay." "What can you tell me about what Michelle was working on?" "Right before she died." "Ahh..." "She'd... huh..." "Routine projects." "Um... nothing really outta 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... huh..." "Any documents that we..." "we had... would be gone... and..." "I'm..." "I'm not sure of any other way." "So there's just no trace of her?" "It's nothing... personal, we just... huh..." "We... we can't keep... or..." "safe everything and, and... huh..." " You need to make a call?" " Maybe I should." "A beautiful office you have here." "Jackie, hi... um..." " 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 okay?" "Jackie?" "Mister Colvin, it's Jackie." "I can hear you." "Are you alright?" "What was she working on?" "I don't know." "I was..." "I was in charge of a different project... it was with a government contract." "What did that have to do with Michelle?" "Nothing, she was just..." " Security." " Can I speak to B-B please?" "Yeah!" "B" " B, we need help!" "It's Jackie." "Jason's in trouble." " What?" " Shall I call the other guys?" " No, no, no." "I'll call 'em." " Hurry, please!" "It was a military operation... something to make... the soldiers more aggressive in combat." "But it was a disaster." "But only one percent, did make them invincible, alright?" "The rest suffered horrible hallucinations." "Devils and demons." "It drove them insane." "The effects were uncontrollable." "And this stuff was so addictive, we... we couldn't even guarantee the safety of our own scientists." "We had to shut it down." "The test subjects, they..." "they would follow 'em home." "They'd kill 'em just for an extra dose." " Is that what happened to Michelle?" " No." "What'd you mean "no"?" "What happened 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 outta her though." " Right now." " What're you talking about?" "I will confess to everything, but you gotta get me..." "That's not good enough, 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're 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... your're filled with... um, 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... huh, no." "I apologize." "You wanna do it over?" "You wanna do it again?" "No, we're good." "He killed my wife." "And your sister too." "He's at 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." "You won't make it out alive." "Do you think that if you could die... you would really be with them again?" "Yeah, I hope that's how 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." "The angels." "The angels aren't done with you yet." "B" " B?" "What's going on here, B-B?" "Let's go!" "Let's get outta here!" "B" " B!" "B-B, what's going on here?" "B" " B, I looked at Lupino." "He didn't know who I was." "What're 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 mentioned it to me without knowing what it really meant..." "I had to..." "I had to talk to her." "To 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... and once 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 continue 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." "Okay, enough!" "Enough of this shit." "B" " B." "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 now!" "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 kinda 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're on their way." "For god sake, come on!" "Max is dead." "They got nothing else." "Come on!" "Calm down, Joe!" "The car is waiting, sir." "Oh shit!" "He's not dead." "He's here." "Bullshit." "Where the hell is he?" "Who're you calling?" "It's late." "I need you to send a helicopter to the roof." "What're you talking about, B-B?" "The Michelle Payne thing is coming back on us." "Here, 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'll 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." "B" " B." "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, B-B." " 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." "You watch, it'll 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."
