Detailed Synopsis

John Peter McAllister is training Max Keller on how to fight using his senses. They drive in Max's van to visit Patrick T. Keller. They hear gunshots and see Kathy Hunter running across the road towards a cemetery. Straker and two other men continue to shoot at her and they eventually catch her. John and Max fight Straker and his men and rescue Kathy. They get into Max's van and Kathy introduces herself to John and Max. And John introduces her to Max and Henry. Max goes to Patrick's law office and he meets Laura Crane, who is able to smell the scent of the cemetery on Max's clothes. She then continues to other activities he did, also based on smells. They introduce themselves and Max realizes that she is blind. She asks to touch his face and brings up that the day after his mom and brother's funeral, he left. She tells him that Patrick missed his court appointment and is at the bar. Paul Stillwell makes a phone call and tells Jason Hunter that no one has seen Kathy. John drops Kathy off at Jason's house and introduces him to Paul and Jason. At the bar, Straker tells Patrick that he will have to set up Kathy to get kidnapped again. Patrick tells him that he won't do it, but Straker brings up all the people Patrick represented who went to jail, because he was too drunk during court. Max and Laura walk into the bar and as Straker and his men are leaving, Max runs into them and a fight breaks out. Patrick tries to help Max and as John is walking to the bar, Patrick is thrown through the window. Okasa watches as John helps Max beat up Straker and his men. John walks Laura home while Max talks with Patrick. Max and Patrick argue and Max chastises Patrick for his heavy drinking. Max offers to help Patrick, but Patrick brushes him off. Laura tells John that she can sense that Patrick is scared of something. She senses that someone is nearby and Okasa jumps in front of John and they fight. John manages to escape with Laura after he is wounded by Okasa. Laura touches John's face and tells him that he has a strong face. Max and John go to Kathy and Paul's wedding and a drunk Patrick walks up to them with Laura. Kathy walks up to John and open mouth kisses him and then they go to get a drink. Max walks outside with Laura. Patrick looks at his watch and then grabs Kathy and tells her that he needs her to go outside with him. A car pulls up and two men get out and grab Patrick and Kathy and then drive away with them. Max jumps on the car and sees a map with a circle drawn on it, before he is thrown off. An officer tells Lt. Ryan that the kidnappers disappeared. Ryan questions Laura and he decides to take her downtown to get a sworn statement from her. Patrick and Kathy are brought to Straker.
