00:45I went for the hotel first. It was a sad old thing with flickering faded colors, cheap mobster punks, and
00:57tired-eyed prostitutes.
01:00I walked straight in, playing at Bogart, like I'd done a hundred times before.
01:05The place was run by a couple of murdering mobsters with shark smiles.
01:09The Finito Brothers.
01:11Ladies and gentlemen, it's the pain in the butt. Pain to the max.
01:15You're killing me.
01:16You make that up yourselves or you get some wine out downstairs to come up with it.
01:21Don't answer that. A rhetorical question.
01:24I got something for the boss. Lupino around?
01:26That kind of depends on who's asking.
01:29A friend or a junk squad plant.
01:31The don't answer?
01:32It's one of them, uh, how do you put it, uh, rhetorical questions.
01:36Lupino ain't here, but he says bye.
01:39Lupino wasn't in his cheap hotel.
01:41Instead, I ran into the Finito Brothers.
01:45My cover had been blown.
01:47The door slammed shut behind me.
01:49And then I was dodging bullets like raindrops.
01:53Pain in the butt.
01:55Ha ha!
01:56Pain to the max!
01:57Yo squad pig, gotta take their marble shitty for you.
02:00You better not like that.
02:02Freaking ass.
02:13AHHHHH!
02:17AHHHHH!
02:18AHHHHH!

02:33a letter on the desk caught my eye
02:35I had met Lupino only once
02:39the gangster ran all his rackets through his right-hand man
02:41Vinnie Gogniti
02:43Gogniti was a high-strung whiner on the verge of breaking apart
02:46like an over-amped Energizer bunny
02:49he had the brains to run the business but he lacked the balls
02:52always falling short
02:53taking his frustration out on underage addicts and call girls

06:51Previously on Lords and Ladies.
06:54Lady Maria, Marquis Valentine asks for an audience.
06:58Thank you, Lawrence.
06:59My lady.
07:00And now, an all new episode of Lords and Ladies brought to you in part by Acer Corporation.
07:18V-Head junkies could go off without a warning.
07:21I had to be careful.
07:22V-Head junkies could go off without a warning.
07:38It's Payne!
07:41We'll be right into all of us.
07:42Icish.
07:48Ahhhhhhhhhh!
08:09Piece of crap!
08:11Ha ha! Ooh, careful! It might that-
08:14Ahh!
08:20Ahh!
08:24Ahh!
08:35Tonight, the city's fight against the nightmare drug Valkyr took a turn for the worse,
08:40as DEA Special Agent Alex Balder was found brutally slain at the Roscoe Street subway station.
08:45A suspect was seen leaving the site only moments after the shots had been fired,
08:48and the NYPD is currently in pursuit of Max Payne,
08:51a repeated felon believed to be armed and extremely dangerous.
08:56And now the weather.
08:58The worst winter storm in recorded history continues to pound the city.
09:10This party had been dead for a while.
09:12I couldn't say I was sorry I missed the show.
09:20No.
09:26I think I died.
09:35Get off!
09:37Aah!
09:40Aah!
09:45Aah!
10:00I found Muerte's room.
10:05Muerte had received a letter.
10:09Our investigation had turned up nothing to link Angelo Punchinello, the head of the Punchinello family, to Valkyr.
10:14All tracks had ended with Jack Lupino.
10:17The letter in Muerte's room was signed by the Don himself.
10:20It was the first hint that the Kingpin knew what was brewing inside his syndicate.
10:24The trouble you got into after the Chicago screw-up.
10:27The Punchinello family bailed you out.
10:29You have been waiting for a chance to pay us back.
10:33One of our trusted boys has a monkey the size of King Kong on his back.
10:37We need your special skills for backup on a major deal.
10:42Collecting evidence had gotten old a few hundred bullets back.
10:45I was already so far past the point of no return, I couldn't even remember what it looked like when
10:49I had passed it.
11:05No way!
11:06Come on!
11:07A-
11:28Hey ya!
11:31God damn, I thought it was a pop-
11:33Hold it!
11:37Ah!
11:43Ah!
11:46Ah!
11:46Phew.
11:54Here...
11:55Ah!
11:56Ah!
12:16The hooker had left her diary on the table.
12:22The diary belonged to a hooker named Candy Dawn.
12:25The read would have made a vice cop blush.
12:27Had talks with the mystery hag over the phone again,
12:31sent to the latest one-eyed Alfred tape.
12:33As long as the hag keeps paying for the tapes,
12:35the old man could come every day for all I care.
12:39She had a nice sideline,
12:41making secret X-rated flicks of her clients
12:43and selling them to the highest bidder.
12:45It would get her killed
12:46if her V-fix for the day didn't do it first.
13:09It would take her back.
13:11It would get them to a metal flicks.
13:12Something the most efficient even
13:13I don't want to break into the habit.
13:14It would get her pulled in.
13:20I'm coming back.
13:22It's just,
13:22You want to go back.
13:23It's just to see my little girl.
13:24It's just a little girl.
13:24I'm coming back.
13:24I'm coming back.
13:26You're actually seeing her.
13:26I was coming back.
13:28It's a very new girl.
13:28I'm coming back.
13:29I'm coming back.
13:31I was waiting for you.
13:31I'm coming back.
13:32AHHHHH!
