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.

Open up, Max!

Open up the goddamn door, Max!

Open up!

Open the door!

Son of a b*tch!

Hey buddy.

Where is he?

For god's 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 are 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 f*** down!

Sh*t!

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...

Don't say her name!

I heard her call him, OK?

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!

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, OK?

- Can I help you with something?

- Yeah.

What if I wanted this tattoo?

You in the Marine Corps?

- This one.

- What's it mean?

That's a Norse valkyrie.

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 are they afraid of?

Please!

This is far enough.

I need to speak with Lincoln.

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?
