The scene shifts to crime boss [[Jack Lupino (Film)|Jack Lupino]] (Amaury Nolasco) who has become unstable and increasingly berserk due to addiction to the drug [[Valkyr (Film)|Valkyr]]. He gives the drug to another wing-tattooed junkie and shortly afterwards kills him. [[Max Payne (Film Character)|Max]] and [[Mona Sax (Film)|Mona]] find [[Owen Greene]]'s apartment but hear him screaming. Owen has also become unstable and hallucinated winged creatures are flying around him in an attempt to take him and kill him, due to Valkyr and backs away from Max and Mona towards the edge of the apartment, though not before saying referencing Valkyr and the winged creatures, saying that "they took her". He is then pulled by a demonic creature on wings and falls to his death, though in actuality, he simply thinks he is being pulled back and actually walks over the edge. Max and Mona go to see a tattooist who did Natasha's tattoos; when asked about the winged tattoo, he tells that it is the wing of a [[Valkyries|Valkyrie]], the [[Wikipedia:Norse mythology|Norse mythological]] deity that carried to Heaven only those that died violently in combat. While Mona goes to ask about Max's past and the man behind the killings and winged tattoos, Max goes to find old work papers that belonged to his [[Michelle Payne (Film)|wife]], discovering that her winged company logo matches the winged tattoos, he suspects that her company may be responsible for her death. [[B.B. Hensley|B.B]] contacts [[Jim Bravura (Film)|Jim Bravura]] (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) and tells him the nature of Max's obsession. It is shown in a flashback that Max arrived at his home and found the men in his house, one of which raved about angels taking his wife and child away, before he dispatched two of them, though the last one escaped through a window. Max revisits the house and experiences the flashback while B.B claims that Max has become crazed with the idea that a company member is responsible for the murder, imploring that he is brought in immediately to receive help. Max then arrives at [[Aesir Pharmaceuticals]] headquarters, Michelle's former workplace, to talk with her former supervisor, [[Jason Colvin]] ([[Wikipedia:Chris O'Donnel|Chris O'Donnell]]). After brutally beating him up and even holding him at gun point, Colvin reveals everything. He explains that Michelle was working on a big military-related project with Aesir's CEO, [[Nicole Horne (Film)|Nicole Horne]] (Kate Burton) concerning the development of a stamina-enhancing drug for soldiers. Colvin also reveals that the drug only worked in 1% of the [[Valkyr Test Subjects (Film)|test subjects]] and the remaining suffered severe traumatic and realistic hallucinations about winged demonic creatures, causing severe psychosis and insanity. Colvin tells Max that everything he wants to know is inside an envelope Colvin has been carrying around, but that the man who killed his wife is going to try and have them killed. Max and Colvin attempt to escape but a SWAT team arrives, after being alerted by Colvin's secretary. Colvin is purposely shot dead, but Max manages to escape with the envelope, amidst a shooting spree, though not before being shot in the shoulder and having a brief encounter with Bravura. |

| − | [[Mona Sax (Film)|Mona]] later finds [[Max Payne (Film Character)|Max]] in a abandoned warehouse, watching the video inside Colvin's package. It is revealed that Aesir Pharmaceuticals was the company manufacturing [[Valkyr (Film)|Valkyr]] for the military. It was a drug created for the purpose of enhancing a soldier's ability in combat and to control their fears. It is also revealed that, before becoming unstable and a rampage killer, [[Jack Lupino (Film)|Jack Lupino]] was a former sergeant who volunteered for Valkyr testing; in the video interview, Lupino stated that the drug replaced fear with peace, giving him the feeling of total invincibility, confidence, being watched over and "having wings". Lupino also says that he at least has suffered no side effects. Max then becomes convinced that he is the one who killed his wife. Mona tells Max that Lupino's lair is at [[Ragna Rock]]. Max plans to go their alone to kill Lupino and his men, even if such an effort kills him. Lupino is shown taking a vial of Valkyr and yelling in a battle cry, which he imagines as being a roar of a demonic creature. Subsequently, Max goes there and successfully kills all of Lupino's henchmen with ease. Max then gets attacked by Lupino, who shows enhanced strength, tearing the chair he put people on when he drugged them, out of the ground and throwing it several feet. He then comes at Max with his machete, easily pinning Max to the floor. He raves about angels watching over him and flying for him and for no one else. Before he can kill Max with the machete, he is shot dead by [[B.B. Hensley|B.B]]. While leaving Ragna Rock with B.B., Max is knocked unconscious by B.B.'s assistant, [[Joe]]. Joe asks if he is to kill Max now, but B.B. just says to cuff him. Max is then showed walking handcuffed between B.B. and his assistant, who confesses he is the lead manufacturer of Valkyr and the runaway killer that Max has been searching for. B.B. and Joe then attempt to eliminate Max. He says that he felt like he a new person who could simply stop any problem he set his sights on instead of feeling weak and unable. This allowed him to use Lupino and the selling of Valkyr on the street to his own benefit. He also admitted that he also killed the baby. He says that he making him look like an drug-addicted suicidal by slipping two vials of the Valkyr drug in his jacket pocket and then attempting to drown him in a freezing river. Max attacks them and runs away, but is forced to jump into the water when he is shot at by B.B. and Joe. Max sinks to the bottom as we saw in the opening scene of the movie. He then dreams of the himself observing the murder sight. When he reaches the room where his wife and child died, they are alive and well, with [[Michelle Payne (Film)|Michelle]] holding the baby. He then hears Michelle say: Not yet, Max., causing him to abruptly awaken and quickly resurface, though he barely makes it out alive. In order to combat lethal hypothermia, he ingests the two vials of Valkyr that B.B. had earlier put in his jacket. The effects are felt immediately as he revives his strength and rage, causing him to hallucinate with the demonic winged version of the [[Valkyries]]. His hallucinations engulf the sky in a hellish inferno, which is also seen in [[Owen |

[[Jim Bravura (Film)|Bravura]] calls in the FBI on the suspicious behavior of the police men that murdered [[Jason Colvin]] and tried to kill Max, causing B.B. to assemble his men to go to the precinct to kill the FBI and Bravura. |
Before he and his men can leave the building, they are attacked by a strengthened and berserk Max who storms the [[Aesir Pharmaceuticals]] building to kill [[B.B. Hensley|B.B]]. He dispatches many of the buildings security teams, though he does get shot again in the process. He also finds himself developing increasingly painful hallucinations, which give him the feeling of pain by intense sound, light and heat that the imagined growing hellish inferno and multitude of valkyries create. The inferno, which now is consuming Max's sight and a vision of Michelle and attacking valkyries crippling his mind, he is almost be killed by one of B.B.'s security team members. Mona arrives, saves Max and offers to hold the rest off until he reaches B.B., who has arranged a helicopter to evacuate him while Joe tries to blow up the rooftop access with explosives. Max also gets distracted by the inferno and winged creatures due to the fact he cannot stop looking at them. Mona fatally wounds Joe, but he still manages to blow up the floor he is on. The explosion breaks Max free from another vision of the valkyrie-filled, burning sky Max catches up with B.B. and, despite being shot twice, he shoots B.B. dead. Max then slumps near the edge of the building and dark, snowy, cloudy city sky is now clearing up and the sun appears shining on Max's face. He then experiences the same vision he did when he was drowning but it then continues to show him holding the baby and happily laughing with his wife. He again has a voice over, saying that he he is not sure about heaven, but he does believe in angels, referencing his wife and daughter. The film ends with Michelle saying "Not yet, Max." |
