Plot[]
Max enters a large warehouse and kills several Russian Mob traitors before exiting through a door on the upper level, then he utilizes a large cargo crane in order to travel from one end of the compound to the other. When he reaches the other side, Max enters a second warehouse and kills everyone there. When he leaves he finds Boris Dime's ship, the Charon.
Max enters the bridge and has a brief conversation with Angelo Punchinello over the ship's radio, and then heads down to the hold where he confronts Dime and the rest of his men. After taking down Dime and the rest of the gangsters, Max takes as much of the weaponry from the ship's cache as he can carry and heads up to the top deck to meet a waiting Vladimir Lem. Vladimir thanks Max and tells him he owes Max a favor. Max tells Vladimir that he is going after Punchinello, and putting an end to both of their troubles.
