Previous Level	Hidden Truths
Next Level	Backstabbing Bastard

The Deep Six is the third level of part III in Max Payne, where Max enters the secret research lab, hidden below Cold Steel and discoveres the reason behind his wife's death.

Max arrives at the lab in time to see two Killer Suits kill a Mercenary as they wish to destroy any evidence of Project Valhalla. Max kills them and heads deeper into the lab.

Soon so comes across a door that requires a three digit code, but Max finds it on the screen of a dead Chemist's computer (665 - neighbor of the beast).

Max then needs to get past the decontamination chamber, so he finds a Chemist and escorts him to the chamber to get him through.

Max then finds himself in a room filled with explosive laser beams. Once he removes them, he looks on a computer and discovers that Project Valhalla, was an experiment started in 1991 but failed by 1995. Nicole Horne carries on the experiment unauthorized and that the Junkies that killed Max's wife were failed test subjects who were dumped at Max's house because Michelle had accidently found out about the experiment.

After Max enters the decontamination chamber again, some computers blow up, trapping Max in the airlock, with the foundry about to explode. Max has only thirty seconds left to escape before he is disintegrated by the explosion. Max escapes the chamber by shooting a laser tripbomb that was placed near the door by the mercenaries and bursts it open. He then sprints through a few rooms and he finds an elevator that takes him up to the surface storage which is outside. The foundry starts to explode moments later after Max enters the elevator and the explosions occur. The grate floor in the middle of the elevator Max was in will break apart moments later due to the explosions force. Max tries his best to stay away from the middle and he escapes the factory just on time. He is then left with no lead to follow.
