In San Francisco, John watches as Max practices walking on a tight rope. John opens a newspaper clipping with an article about Kelly Pattersen winning a breakdance marathon and standing next to her is a woman that John believes is his daughter. At the Truffles Club & Disco, Max and John walk into the club and Max tells John that the dancer is Kelly. Charlie Pattersen goes to the dance floor to watch Kelly dance and then after she finishes talks with John. Jonathon Chan walks into the club with Lika, Bodyguard and Bodyguard. Lika grabs Westerly, which John sees and John also notices the ring on Lika's finger. John then checks on Westerly. As Jonathan and his group are leaving, John grabs Lika by the arm and stares at his ring. Lika assumes Charlie has hired John. When John finds out Max used a shuriken against Jerry he drags him out of the club and chastises him for using it. As Max and John are driving away, they are followed by Lika, the two Bodyguards and other men. Max and John pull over behind a semi and John climbs up a telephone pole. He walks across a telephone line until he is over one of the cars following them and then jumps on the car, breaks the windshield and steals the steering wheel and the car crashes into the bay. Lika and the other Bodyguard try to run over John, but he throws a smoke bomb and escapes.

John goes back to Truffles and watches as Jill Pattersen wheels herself around in circles on the dance floor. She tries to walk, but after a few steps falls down. John motivates her to try again and he manages a few more steps. Charlie enters the room and John tells him that he is up against ninja and will need help. Max goes into Truffles and tells them that Kelly was kidnapped and Jonathon calls Charlie and tells him to pay 20,000 dollars in order to get Kelly back. Jill goes to deliver the money in an alley and Lika takes the money. As Lika and a Bodyguard drive away, John climbs under their vehicle and hooks on to it as it drives away. When Lika and the Bodyguard arrive at their destination, John scopes out the place. Max finds John and convinces him to let him go along to rescue Kelly. John and Max break into the building and rescue Kelly after knocking Jonathan and a bodyguard unconscious. They then use a high wire to escape. As they are leaving, Lika challenges John to a fight and John tricks Lika into striking a power box, which electrocutes Lika to death. Back at Truffles, Charlie plays one of his audition tapes for a private birthday party for himself. Charlie gets up and does some dance moves and then Jill gets up and walks to him and they dance for a short time. She sits back down and the other party members dance. Kelly tells John that the Terry she knows is not his daughter.
