The game starts off with Max Payne in a hospital being treated for something that we don't quite know about. He is under attack by commandos and needs to escape the hospital quickly. When Max goes in the elevator, Deputy Jim Bravura is fatally killed by Ingrams. The killer was a commando. He shot a gas tank into the elevator which exploded it and blew the elevator. Max fell to the bottom floor and went into a room with a dead body. He finds Detective Winterson dead. Who killed her? That's not the mystery - if I give out any more details I'd just be spoiling the entire game.
