Max Payne Page #3

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.

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, right?

Hey!

You care picking up some overtime?

I'd think twice about that. I hear the boss is a real a**hole.

Now that he's out of security, we're supposed to laugh at his jokes.

They still pay me like the janitor.

She's looking for you. Just tried me in my office, dude.

Yeah?

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 bring 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 does a glorified file clerk still need a snitch for?

So you'd piss in a cup for us, right?

You just said the magic words.

Call 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 a**hole!

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.

Makes you look guilty. You understand that, right?

Not just Alex's unit thinks you're the guy.

You need friends on the force right now.

There's only so much I can do from the outside.

Where are you going?

Where do you think you're going, a**hole?

The detective in that office was killed.

Get back here, a**hole!

Where do you think you are going?

Stop right there! What are you gonna do in there?

Back up! Make a hole!

Back up, goddammit! Make a hole!
