| Out As Kendra helps Max to make a home-cooked meal for Logan, Logan appears and pulls Max away from the intimate domestic moment -- he has important Eyes Only work for them to do. He suspects that a gangster by the name Gerhardt Bronck is stealing the city's blood supply and selling it overseas. Although Max is upset about her ruined dinner, Logan convinces her of the importance of the mission. Max breaks into Bronck's hangar, only to find it heavily guarded -- despite Logan's assertions to the contrary. Max has to tuck tail and run amidst a rain of gunfire. Back at Logan's, Max berates Logan for his constant single-mindedness. It's like the only thing that matters in his life is Eyes Only. And if that's the case, says Max, he can count her out. She's done working for Eyes Only. Undeterred, Logan continues to investigate Bronck's dealings with the help of Detective Sung. But Bronck is one step ahead of Logan. The privileged information Sung has just acquired for Eyes Only was planted by the gangster; when Eyes Only goes public with Sung's material, Bronck realizes that the detective is in league with Eyes Only, and determines to use the noble cop to bring down the cyber-crusader. When Sung gets together with Logan, Bronck's thugs move in and abduct them both. Meanwhile, Max goes on a delivery in a violent, gang-ridden area of town and sees Bronck's men kidnapping young girls off the street. Wondering how this fits into Bronck's plan, she calls Logan, only to learn from Bling that the man behind Eyes Only was kidnapped by Bronck and his men. Demanding to know Eyes Only's true identity, Bronck tortures Sung before Logan's eyes. Unwilling to let the gangster kill his friend and informant, Logan reveals his secret to Bronck: he's Eyes Only. Bronck doubts Logan's veracity, but Logan's insistence starts to change the gangster's mind... until a mysterious caller claiming to be the real Eyes Only calls Bronck, demanding the release of his informants. The mystery caller is none other than Max, posing as Eyes Only via a voice synthesizer. Bronck traces the call and orders his men to intercept the caller. However, Max has already anticipated his move and has diverted the signal to the other end of town, smack into the center of violent gang turf -- where Bronck's men and the gangbangers collide in a hail of bullets and violence. With Bronck's goons out of the equation, Max must now figure out where Logan and Sung are being held before Bronck realizes he's been had. Listening to a tape of her conversation with Bronck, Max's heightened hearing detects a foghorn in the background as well as the sound of planes flying overhead. She deduces that Logan and Sung must be near a particular airfield and springs into action. She rescues Logan and Sung, and intercepts Bronck as he tries to make his getaway on his private jet. She takes down Bronck and rescues the group of children he had stowed in the cargo hold. It turns out that Bronck wasn't smuggling blood after all, but running an international prostitution ring, stealing children from the streets of Seattle and shipping them overseas to serve as sex slaves. With the mission accomplished, Max and Logan mend fences. She was wrong to just walk out on Eyes Only, but he was wrong to put their lives on hold. After all, they live in a broken world, and the world will still be broken tomorrow. Red Logan recruits Max to bodyguard an important witness in the upcoming trial of Mayor Leopold Steckler. Worried that witness protection won't be able to keep this key player safe, Logan insists that Max bail him out of police custody and take him to a secure location. What Max and Logan don't know until Max snatches the witness away from the cops is that the man they have to protect is none other than Bruno Anselmo, the man responsible for putting Logan in his wheelchair. Max takes Bruno to Logan's safehouse, disgusted at having to keep this lowlife safe, even if it is for a good cause. Bruno wastes no time in validating Max's low opinion of him, summoning a couple of call girls to the safehouse while Max picks up a couple of pizzas for their dinner. Max is forced to relocate Bruno to an out-of-the-way hotel, but Bruno again circumvents his bodyguard, giving Max the slip and sneaking off to a nearby biker bar. Max finds him about to pick a fight with a local. She quickly dispatches a handful of brawlers and hauls Bruno out of the bar... as a mysterious onlooker by the name of Johannessen watches them go... then picks up the phone and tells the person on the other line to gather the team. Back at the hotel, Max chews Bruno out for risking his own life, then handcuffs him to the bed and allows him to make a phone call to his little girl, Anabelle. When Max steps out of the room to give Bruno some privacy, she witnesses three thugs arrive at the hotel and rough-up the concierge. Assuming they're here for Bruno, Max drags the suddenly tender daddy off the phone and they speed off on her motorcycle just as the lethal trio burst into their empty room, weapons drawn. The next morning, Max informs Logan about their encounter; Logan promises to look into it. Then Max and Bruno are off to the park for a quick rendezvous with Anabelle and her mother, Mary Jo. They have another run-in with a would-be assassin, and Max once again saves Bruno's hide before escorting him to the courthouse. In the meantime, Logan has contacted a paraplegic informant by the name of Sebastian, who uses the hotel's security footage to determine that the trio of assailants are part of an elite South African group known as the Red Series. The Reds are fitted with a brain implant that renders them impervious to pain and makes them inhumanly strong. They would be the perfect soldiers, except that the chip in their brains causes them to burn out and die after only a few months. Sebastian and Logan realize that the Reds weren't after Bruno -- they were after Max. If they can get their hands on Manticore's transgenic technology, they might be able to keep the implants from burning out. Logan races to the courthouse to warn Max of the impending threat. At the courthouse, Bruno's testimony is interrupted by a bomb threat. Max shuffles Bruno out of the courtroom, but he insists that they exit through the garage. Max follows her charge, only to find the Reds and Johannessen waiting for them in the basement. Bruno smiles, his betrayal of Max complete, then proceeds to collect a briefcase full of cash from Johannessen. Bruno bids a smarmy adieu to Max, then exits as the Reds move in on their quarry. Max faces off with the Reds and quickly realizes that this is a fight she might not win. Logan sees Bruno exit the garage by himself and peels his car into the underground parking in search of Max. Logan screeches into the garage to find Max in dire straits, battered and bloody from her encounter with the South Africans. He pulls his gun and opens fire on the Reds, allowing Max enough time to jump into his car and escape. Logan burns rubber, leaving the Reds in his dust, foiled for the time being, but very much alive and ready to fight another day. Art Attack Max agrees to attend a Cale family wedding as Logan's date. Logan warns her that this probably won't be a fun affair, but he is grateful that she's willing to accompany him and keep him sane in the midst of his family's insanity. Meanwhile, a man by the name of Runyon contracts Jam Pony to deliver a package for him. He tries to drive home the importance of this delivery to Sketchy, but Sketchy nonetheless uses the packing tube to play-fence with Sky. Unbeknownst to the Jam Poniers, the contents of the tube get switched with those of another packing tube. When the delivery is made to Duvalier, an impatient art smuggler, he discovers that the contents are not the stolen Norman Rockwell painting he expected. He takes out his anger on Arnie Haas, Runyon's partner, but Haas assures him that there must have been some slip up at Jam Pony. Looking to set things right, Duvalier's men snatch Normal from Jam Pony and demand their painting. Normal contacts Original Cindy and begs for help. Original Cindy determines that Duvalier's painting was mistakenly delivered by Max to an architectural firm. She calls Max and tells her that Normal's life depends on her retrieval of the Rockwell. Max slips out of the wedding -- away from Logan's abusive Uncle Jonas and his ex-fiancée Daphne -- and breaks into the firm where she delivered the painting. She delivers the Rockwell to Duvalier, who pops open the tube and unrolls the painting... only to discover that it's a forgery. Figuring that Runyon has double-crossed him, Duvalier flings Haas out a nearby window and demands that Max find Runyon and get him the right painting. Otherwise, he'll throw Normal out another window. Max finds Runyon and smacks the truth out of him: he sold the original painting to another buyer and tried to pull a fast one on Duvalier. Max and Original Cindy return to the wedding and explain the situation to Logan, who tracks down Runyon's buyer. Max bolts off to a submarine yard to retrieve the Rockwell from a docked Korean submarine... leaving Original Cindy at the wedding to keep an eye on Logan and Daphne. Max steals the painting from the submarine captain and manages to escape without wrinkling her fancy dress. She delivers the painting to Duvalier, drives Normal home, then returns to the wedding. Logan can't believe that she would deliver a priceless work of art to a lowlife smuggler, and determines to get the Rockwell back from Duvalier. He sets up a sting at the airport -- the authorities arrest Duvalier for the murder of Arnie Haas as Max casually strolls off with the painting; Logan has essentially managed to frame Duvalier for a murder he did commit and steal from him the painting that he stole. Rising After the death of one of their members, the Red Series are more intent than ever on capturing Max and the transgenic technology in her DNA. Johannessen reminds them that the girl is their only salvation. He's been working on tracking Max down via her broken pager, but it's taken longer than expected. Soon, he promises, they will find her. Blissfully unaware of the looming threat, Max arrives for work at Jam Pony to discover that Original Cindy has found another job. They share an emotional farewell and agree to meet at Crash for a celebration later that night. What Original Cindy doesn't realize, however, is that the Reds have already paid a visit to her apartment and are trying to use her to get to Max. Meanwhile, Logan begins to recover sensation in his legs and surmises that the blood transfusion he received from Max is the cause. In an attempt to speed along the healing, Max transfuses Logan again. The transfusion seems to have little effect, however, and Logan's frustration at being confined to the chair is starting to show. That night at Crash, the whole gang parties and celebrates Original Cindy's new gig. The party ends abruptly for Max, however, when the Reds arrive at Crash, forcing her to flee. The Reds give Max a run for her money, their single-mindedness and resilience making them formidable opponents. She escapes two of the Reds and fights the remaining one to the death; as the defeated Red breathes his last, his final words are a plea to Max: "make us live." Max and Logan visit Sebastian, who explains that Johannessen has misled the Reds. He's told them that Max's DNA can save them from the implant in their brains, but in actuality the South Africans only want Max's genes to create a new generation of Reds who are impervious to the effects of the chip. Max has no interest in being mommy to a breed of killing machines, so she and Logan set about determining how to defeat the Reds. That's when Original Cindy calls Max from her new job at Meridian Insurance. Max hears a frightened tone in Cindy's voice and instantly determines that she's in trouble -- the Reds have kidnapped Original Cindy to get to her. Max sneaks out of Logan's apartment and into Sebastian's, stealing the brain implant they recovered from the fallen Red. Sebastian begs her not to use it, but she knows it's the only way she can save Original Cindy and vanquish the Reds. She jams the implant into her neck and is seized by the tell-tale convulsions that indicate the implant's attachment to her brain. Max crashes into Meridian Insurance and takes on the Reds. The battle is long, violent and heated, but Max eventually prevails. Johannessen emerges from the shadows, standing over a weakened Max, wanting the implant in her head and callously commenting how little he cared about the Reds... at which point Red Five rises up and, with his last ounce of strength, slams an axe into Johannessen's chest. The Red dies and Max collapses, the implant wreaking havoc on her system. Logan arrives at Meridian in the nick of time and, following Sebastian's instructions, deactivates the implant and saves Max's life. Back at Logan's, Max finally comes clean with Original Cindy about her past. Original Cindy is surprised by Max's revelations, and the two have a tearful conversation which ends with the two friends closer together than ever before. Later, Logan has his own surprise for Max. As he rises out of his wheelchair, Max's look of astonishment fills his eyes. Logan thanks Max for giving him back the life he lost when he was shot, and explains that there's something he's wanted to do ever since he met Max. As they ride off on her motorcycle -- Logan driving and shifting gears with his newly functional legs -- Max ruminates over the potential changes in their relationship. |
