Walkthrough
- 1Dick Justice - TV Series #1: Watching the first TV in this level reveals a parody of Max Payne 1, depicting Dick Justice losing his wife and pursuing the criminal underworld, mirroring Max Payne's story.
- 2Dick Justice - TV Series #2: This TV series' name is inspired by Max Payne 1, where a Commando enemy revealed he named his gun "Dick Justice".
- 3Vladimir's Vodka - TV Advertisement: You can see Vladimir Lem on TV promoting his new restaurant, Vodka.
- 4Max Heat 7 - TV Late Night Show: An advertisement for "Max Heat 7" appears, which you will see again in a later level.
- 5The perp's disguise didn't fool me...: If you kill the first cleaner before he reveals his intent, Max will remark, "The perp's disguise didn't fool me. He was leading me into a trap." If you do not kill him, a 2-second (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)) will play where the cleaner reveals his murderous intent.
- 6Ragnarock Billboard: After defeating the first two cleaners, look for a Ragnarock Billboard resting against the far wall, near the hauler.
- 7The Death of a Woman: Both Max Payne games begin with the death of a woman: Michelle Payne in Max Payne and Annie Finn (Vladimir Lem's girlfriend) in Max Payne 2.
- 8Max, we gotta stop meeting like this...: This is the first line Mona says to Max in Max Payne 2, echoing her last words to him in Max Payne. Her entrance and exit via elevator in both games are similar.
- 9Gate-crashing Detective: After defeating the killers of Annie Finn and two more cleaners, exit the room and go through the door on the right. In the next room, after killing three more cleaners who enter, look down through the window to see a police car crash through the main steel gates, and Detective Winterson emerge with a cop.
- 10Security Camera: After witnessing the gate-crash scene, return to the room where Annie Finn was killed. Interact with a small screen on the left near the window to see Detective Winterson and a cop positioned outside a steel shutter (collapsible) door.
