As he explores the area, he'll come across a few health packs and the eponymous Painkiller. In fact, the whole world has a dark and mysterious sort of atmosphere and it's up to the player to figure out where he is and, eventually, how to escape from the world he's in. The old church is still in front of him, but it's run down now, and oddly out of proportion. The player, after a brief moment of tumbled confusion, finds himself standing in a scene eerily similar to the one he just left. The Painkiller is a weapon with many different uses. The massive explosion throws Bill across the street and he dies there in the road. His mark turns the key in the ignition and the C4 goes off. Knowing that killing this man will cause the death of several innocent people, Bill suffers a crisis of conscience and begins to race towards the car, screaming out a warning. Just as the target approaches the car, Bill notices a school bus slowing down and approaching a stop just beside the car. He soon spots him, coming down the street in his high-priced suit and followed by his hulking bodyguards.
After he wires the explosive the car's ignition, he retreats to the other side of the street to wait for his target. The opening of the game shows Wild Bill in front of a church planting C4 charges on a parked car. Though he can claim to be doing some good in the world by ridding it of weapon smugglers and drug lords, his missions to assassinate his employers' political rivals are a bit less morally ambiguous and even a killer-for-hire has to have some principles. The player takes on the role of Wild Bill Sherman, a CIA assassin who works for highly placed members of the government. If you've ever played a Painkiller game, this setting is no great mystery to you.
