Max Payne Page #6

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.

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!
