Knight Rider (1982) s01e05 Episode Script
Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular
Seems to me you're short | a driver for a while.
Think you can | replace my Dad? I got a real smart car.
How much longer are you going to insist | on reveling in chaos and destruction? It's a tough world out there, | Devon.
I don't know who he is or what he wants.
| You see he has a nice, fatal accident.
Michael, we're not at speed | for this maneuver.
Michael.
Knight Rider, a shadowy flight | into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion | the cause of the innocent, the helpless, | the powerless, in a world of criminals | who operate above the law.
Michael, do you know why | Mr.
Miles has sent for us? No, I don't know, but since we don't | have an extensive social relationship, it's probably | to brief me on another mission.
Brief you? Oh, sorry.
I meant us.
| Thank you.
You know, for a collection of | microprocessors, you're awfully touchy.
Wrong.
It's just that my circuits function | better when we operate in a reality mode.
- KITT.
| - Yes, Michael? Just keep driving.
Good.
This sucker will make my quota.
You sure you're doing only 55? Of course I am.
| Look at the readout yourself.
Yeah, well, then | why is that cop chasing us? I wouldn't know.
| After all, I'm a computer, not a psychic.
However, I would strongly suspect | the officer behind us may be trying to meet his daily ticket | quota in a somewhat irregular manner.
Well, one thing's for sure.
Bum rap or not, | I'm not taking any citation for your driving.
I see.
Well, listening to you explain that to | the police officer should be quite fascinating.
It's only five miles to the county line.
| Let's hit the turbo.
Very good thinking, Michael.
Whence croquet sprang | to benefit the Earth, what happy garden | gave this pastime birth? Devon, don't let anyone | tell you differently: You are a little strange.
This is a game of gentlemen, | of serenity, of Charles II and Samuel Pepys.
Know them? Only by reputation, | and from what I understand, they spent most of | their spare time in bed.
Oh, trust you to take the poetry | out of poetry.
Now, to business.
| Yes.
Twelve years ago, a fellow named | Sammy Phillips bought a racetrack.
Yeah.
It's called "Slammin' Sammy's | Super Stunt Show Spectacular.
" - Uh, don't ask me to say that again.
| - I wouldn't dream of it.
Devon, I've seen the guy perform.
| He is incredible.
Unfortunately, Sammy's show | may be closing shortly.
Why? For some months now, | the Foundation's computers have been tracing the movements | of a fellow named Lawrence Blake.
One of Blake's favorite tricks is to pick | up second mortgages on marginal businesses.
What's wrong with that? | Nothing on the face of it.
The interesting thing is that once | the mortgage has been acquired, the business in question suffers | an unexpected misfortune and folds.
- And Blake picks up the property for a song.
| - Exactly.
And something tells me Blake just | picked up Sammy's second mortgage, right? Oh.
Very perceptive today, Michael.
And you figure | that maybe I can stop him before he does something nasty | to Sammy or his stunt show.
Exactly.
Or better still, | catch him in the act.
Blake is long overdue | to be put away for a bit.
- It'll be a pleasure.
| - Oh, any thoughts? No, but I'll think of something.
Michael, don't forget to clear it first.
Now, don't go getting | any anxiety attacks here, Devon.
- Trust me, will ya? | - Do I have a choice? Do I ever have a choice? Hello.
Oh, yes.
| I certainly will.
Bonnie's ready for you.
Ohhh.
I only | wish that meant what it sounded like.
Always was a kid's game to me.
Hey, Dad.
Listen.
I just | worked out a really great stunt.
I'm on my motorcycle, see, | and I do a headstand Mark, I have enough problems here without | you splattering yourself all over the track.
But I've been practicing, Dad.
L I can | do things on my bike as good as anybody.
I said, "No.
" You're never gonna | give me a chance, are you? I didn't say that.
When you're | ready.
But I am ready, Dad.
I got my routine down pat.
Mark, your technique is fine.
| You're just too eager, that's all.
And in this line of work, | enthusiasm can get you killed.
A little more maturity | is all you need.
Now, just be patient, okay? Now, go on.
| Gas up my car before the show.
Oh, big deal! | Hi, Mark.
Let me guess.
He wants to | perform on his motorcycle.
Kids.
| He is getting real good, Dad.
Look.
Like I told him, | not now, okay? - Well, what's with you? | - Oh, nothing.
Nothing at all.
We're just barely breaking even here.
I got 500 condemned seats | out there that I can't use | until the stands are fixed.
I got no money to pay for it.
So the last | thing I feel like talking about is Mark, who wants to be a star | even if he kills himself doing it! Ugghhh.
I'm sorry, Lisa.
I guess I'm just a crotchety | old man who should be put out to pasture.
Tsk.
Knowing you, you'd probably try | to work up a stunt show with the cows.
Nah.
They're too slow.
Lisa.
You promised we'd rehearse | the new routine today.
Not now, Mario.
Afraid to be alone with me, huh? Mario, you've really gotta | stop watching soap operas.
Go find one of your groupies.
| I'll catch you later.
Yes, Bonnie.
That should | be a perfect calibration.
Then that's it, KITT.
You should be | functioning flawlessly at least until that nut | starts abusing you.
Thanks a lot.
Speak of the devil.
| I've made a few additions to KITT.
Oh, yeah? Like what? KITT is now equipped to oxygenate | the interior upon command.
Oh, that should be great | for the morning after.
Funny.
I've also increased the booster power | by about 25%, so keep that in mind | when you switch to alternate power.
I will.
I will.
You know something, Bonnie? | What? L- I'd like I'm really glad you told me | about those new additions to KITT.
Well, you might need them if you get | caught between a rock and a hard place.
Yeah.
I know | what that's like.
What? Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing there.
It's nothing.
| I'll see you later.
Nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen, | it's now time for the grand finale of Slammin'Sammy's | Super Stunt Show Spectacular.
The most death-defying, logic-defying, | gravity-defying group of daredevil drivers this side of the Mississippi.
One, two, three.
Two, three, four, five, six.
Now, I know you folks | have seen this sorta stuff before, and maybe even a bit more spectacular, but Slammin' Sammy is now about to show | you something you've never seen before and probably will never see again.
Sammy's going to repeat | the very same stunt you just saw, only this time | he will try to do it driving blind.
To ensure your complete confidence | in this performance, we've asked the Reverend HenryJackson | to inspect the hood and secure it on Sammy's helmet.
Actually, | ladies and gentlemen, the reverend is here | to serve a dual role.
If anything should go wrong | during this stunt, well, it's always handy | to have a reverend available.
Just a little joke, folks.
One, two, three, four Come on, come on.
| Get up! Get up! Go! Dad.
| My leg.
Leg.
My leg.
Leg.
Whoa! That's terrific.
| Thanks.
How's your father doing? Oh, he'll be | okay just won't be driving for a while.
Who are you, anyway? | Just a guy looking for a job.
Boy, is your timing incredible, | Mr Knight.
Michael Knight.
Lisa Phillips.
| Got no jobs, Mr.
Knight.
I don't know.
Seems to me | you're short a driver for a while.
Think you can replace my dad? | That's a laugh.
You haven't seen me drive yet.
Look, we can't spare a car | for you to wreck up, Mr.
Knight.
That's okay.
| I use my own.
Unless you're afraid | I'll wreck your track here.
Okay.
Go ahead and show me | what you think you can do.
- You got it.
Thanks.
| - Hmm.
So who is that? Some nut | wants to be a stunt driver.
Instead of | letting me fill in? What'd you tell him? Said we'd look.
| Why? Why not? How did it go, Michael? | Jury's still out, KITT.
We're about to audition.
Meaning? Meaning we gotta | prove we can perform stunts.
You must be joking.
I can easily | outperform those primitive stock machines the refer to as "stunt cars.
" My data indicates that if you wish, we could perform a 360-, 540-, | or even a 720-degree turn.
- So? | - There's also a multitude of more advanced evolutions we could perform.
KITT, you're forgetting one | very important element.
We're not supposed to be that good.
Oh.
| Now ya got it.
How'd I do? | Not bad for an amateur.
Well, when my life's on the line, | I learn real fast.
- You think you can teach me? | - Yeah.
Maybe you'll get us both killed.
- Maybe I won't.
| - Maybe we'll give it a shot.
- That a firm maybe? | - Maybe.
You know, there sure are a lot of maybes | in this business, aren't there? - Listen.
You hang in here for a minute and I'll check it out with my dad, okay? | - Okay.
- Hey.
You weren't too bad out there.
| - Thanks.
Michael Knight.
| Mark Phillips.
Uh, Phillips? Oh.
Yeah.
Lisa's | my sister.
Sammy's my dad.
You know, if you join up with us, could | be real tough, you learning them routines.
That's okay.
| I got a real smart car.
Well Well, I guess.
- You wanna see my act? | - Sure, man.
Shake it down.
All right.
Whoo! Ahhh.
Hey.
That was terrific.
| Hey.
Thanks.
When's Sammy gonna put you | in the show? I don't know.
Better be soon.
Don't | worry, man.
It'll come.
Yeah, well, it's taking long enough.
Mark.
| Yeah, Dad? Thought I told you to change the tires | on Mario's car.
I was just getting to it.
Don't give me that.
I just saw you hotdogging | around the track.
Yeah? What do you think? I think you better get it in gear and do | what I tell you and don't let it happen again.
Now, do you understand? You know, your son, | he's really terrific.
Yeah, I know.
| He's got a lot of talent.
Why are you so rough on him? Just trying to teach him some discipline and | responsibility, 'cause I don't want him getting hurt.
Stunt cars are bad enough, | but motorcycles are the pits.
Yeah.
Well, I wonder | if he sees it that way.
Well, if he doesn't now, | he will.
It's the way I was taught, | and if it was good enough for Who are you, anyway? Oh, I'm Michael Knight.
| I'm your new driver.
- Who says? | - Well, I did, sort of.
I've been looking for Look.
| Whose show is this, anyway? Yours, Dad.
Well, then how | come you're hiring me a driver? Three reasons.
One, we need | a temporary replacement for you.
Two, he's not bad for an amateur.
And three, | hey, no one else is applying for the job.
All right, all right.
- So you wanna drive for me, huh? | - Yes, sir.
That's the idea.
All right.
Then show me | something something interesting.
All right.
| What would you like to see? - Oh, uh, how about a little skiing? | - What's "skiing"? "What's skiing?" See what I mean? That's, uh, | driving on two wheels.
Two wheels.
| Which ones, right or left? Oh.
Your choice.
Or better still, | why not try it both ways? Both ways.
| Gotcha.
Hey, Dad.
| That's not really fair.
Probably nobody | can do it both ways.
Aw, let him find it out for himself the hard way.
Ahhh.
I guess this time | we better pull out a few stops.
Sammy's not gonna be an easy audience.
| I'm yours to command, Michael.
Anything you can think of, | I'm sure I can perform.
You know, I sure do admire your modesty.
Modesty is a state of mind, Michael.
| I only deal in facts.
Is this impressive enough? | Let's hope so.
What'd I tell you? There, Dad.
Did you ever see | anyone do that both ways before? Like that? | Not bad.
Not too bad.
Oh, don't let him kid you.
You | were great, just great.
Thanks.
Well, Sammy? Let's you and | me go up to the office and talk about how much | I'm going to underpay you.
All right.
Nicejob, Gordon.
We'll get that place by the end of the | month.
It's $5 million, cool profit.
Thank you, sir.
With Sammy out of action, we oughta be able | to take him over in about three more weeks.
I sure hope so, Mr.
Blake.
Well, you sound like | there might be a problem.
Well, last week | the show was just hanging on.
Then after Sammy's accident, the audience | dried up just as we expected it would, sir.
But | I don't need the details, Gordon.
Just give me the broad strokes.
Sammy's got himself a new driver, sir.
Doesn't matter.
Sammy's the show.
| Without him, they're dead.
What if the new guy's good? I expect you to handle it, Gordon.
If you don't, | I'll find someone who will.
Do you understand? | Yes.
Of course, Mr.
Blake.
Good.
Now get going.
By the side door, if you don't mind.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
Hey! - Aaah.
| - If I were you, buddy, I'd get out of there | before you get yourself trapped.
Who said that? Really.
Some people are simply too much.
Now, that they've tried to sabotage you, you know | we must've stirred something up.
Michael, I must confess | I have a difficult time computing the logic of this sport, | as you insist on calling it.
- Why? | - On a mathematical basis, these so-called "stunts" | do present a slight challenge, but it seems a somewhat pointless | and rather dangerous activity.
- KITT, that's not the point.
| - Then what is the point? People pay money to see the stunts.
Without money, | Sammy's show is going down the drain.
I see.
Well, Michael, if our object | is to save this enterprise, we'd best come up with something | quite exceptional.
- That seems logical.
| - What else would it be? Now that we've got that settled, | what would you suggest we do? How would I know? | You're talking show business, and that's completely outside | the scope of any known system of logic.
- You know, what, KITT? | - What, Michael? Sometimes you're no help at all.
You sure do | understand your capabilities.
Of course I do.
But you are the best judge | of what will turn people on, as they say.
I'm afraid this time the ball is | in your court, as they also say.
Whoa! Yeah! Hi, kid.
| Hi, Sammy.
I'm telling you, we're gonna | have a good show this week.
Yeah.
You know, I've been | watching you, Michael, You're good, real good.
Thanks, Sammy.
What we really need, though, | is a showstopper.
Yeah.
I've been thinking about that.
How | would you feel about me doing the finale? My stunt? Ohhh.
| No way you can do that blind.
Maybe in a year or two, | but Well, do I have to do it blind? Kid, I'll level with you.
Without | the blind finish, the act is nowhere.
As a matter of fact, the whole show isn't | really all that much not these days.
No, the blind bit's the only thing | keeping us in business and that just barely.
What do you think | about a jump over a car and a truck? Humph.
Big deal.
I jump four trucks | just for a buildup.
Yeah, but not while | they're moving in the same direction.
Ohhh, no, no, no.
No, forget that.
That's | impossible.
I know I can do it.
Oh, the ramp is simple enough, but you couldn't | build up enough speed.
How about letting me try? All you'll end up doing is wrecking a | car and maybe yourself.
I'll use my car.
All right.
If you're that determined, give it a try at practice | tomorrow.
What about the finale this afternoon? You said you needed a showstopper, | didn't you? Well, yeah, but l Okay, kid, but it's your | neck.
Okay! Okay, thanks! Ahhh.
There you go, KITT.
You're starting to look | pretty nifty there, buddy.
Really, Michael.
| Is all this garishness really necessary? Of course it is.
| We're in show business now.
You're gonna be a star.
| It'll be more appropriate.
Really? But still, I fail to understand how | these stars enhance my functional capabilities.
- That's not the point.
| - Then exactly what is the point? I don't think I can explain it | so you'd understand.
Very weak reasoning.
All right.
Look.
| Either you get the stars, or get painted red, white and blue | like all the other cars.
- Now which is it? | - Keep pasting, Michael.
Please keep pasting.
Ladies and gentlemen, | one of our drivers will now try a jump over two moving vehicles.
A stunt that has been | attempted dozens of times by various driving legends, and they've all been unsuccessful.
We are about to see | stunt driving history or witness one hell of a wreck.
! All we can say is good luck to Mike.
! - Sure we can do this, huh? | - The chances of successful completion are somewhat less that optimum.
What? Why didn't | you tell me that before? Would it have made any difference? | Well, l After all, you're the expert on | showstoppers, as I think you call them.
All I have to do is all the work, | take the punishment, the abuse of my circuitry, the Not now, KITT.
Not now.
Thank you! Thank you! That's some kind of driving, kid.
I couldn't | have done better myself.
Thanks, Sammy.
Gimme a couple of days for a little | publicity, we'll really pack 'em in.
You got it.
You really turned | this whole show around, Michael.
You know, for a guy who never drove | professionally before, you're incredible.
That was a business kiss, | not a social one.
That was a social one.
Hey.
How ya doing? Name's Bill Gordon, and that was some fantastic | stunt you just pulled off.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
You know, a guy like you could | go a long way in this business.
Think so, huh? | Oh, yeah.
How would you like to be making, say, | 50 times what you're making right now? Keep talking.
| I represent a large corporation, and I think a man with your ability | definitely has a place in our company.
Well, maybe we got | something to talk about after all.
Fine.
Fine.
Well, let's you and me | take a walk No, no.
Not you and me.
Me and the guy you work for.
I don't know about that.
| Yeah? Well, I do.
If I'm as valuable an asset as you | say I am, I don't deal below top dog.
So you touch home base with that | and, uh, let me know.
Yes.
I understand completely, | Mr.
Prime Minister, and of course, you're quite right.
Uh, as Henry Kissinger once said, "Even paranoids have real enemies.
" No, he wasn't making a joke.
He was being funny, | but there is a difference.
Uh, yes.
All right.
I'm sure that by | the time the meeting convenes next month, the whole thing | will have been worked out.
Uh, yes.
See you.
| See you very soon.
Good-bye.
Sorry about that.
He's the most | insecure man I've ever met.
How he managed to get himself | elected in the first place is one of those insoluble | political mysteries.
Well, back to, uh, | the business at hand.
You were saying? I think they've finally taken the bait.
Oh? And what leads you | to that assumption? I was approached with an offer | I'm not supposed to be able to refuse.
And, of course, you didn't.
No, I did.
| Why? Well, I'm holding out for a one-on-one | with the top dog, Mr.
Blake himself.
And precisely what is he | supposed to do, confess all? Well, that depends on exactly how badly | he wants to buy me off.
- Well, let's hope you're right.
| - Meaning? Meaning that if he's | that worried about you, there are cheaper and easier ways | to solve his problem.
Like terminating | with extreme prejudice.
Yes.
That's exactly what I mean.
Yeah.
Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Waste him.
You sure | you want to go that far? You offered him money, right? | Yeah.
Any two-bit stunt driver | would have grabbed at it.
But not him.
| He wants a face-to-face with me.
Why? I don't know, Mr.
Blake.
And I don't care.
I don't know who he is or what he wants, but | nobody, and I mean nobody, gets to me direct.
That's what I pay you for | to run interference.
Now, he doesn't wanna | play ball with you, that's fine.
He doesn't get to play ball at all.
| You take care of him.
Quietly.
No, not quietly.
Noisy.
| Big and noisy.
So you see he has an accident, | a nice fatal accident a really for real showstopper, | if you get my point.
Hey.
! Whoo.
I tell you, this stunt driving stuff | is real thirsty work.
Ah, it's all that dust, kid.
I've been eating it | for damn near 40 years now, and that's a long time to be living | on burned rubber and carbon monoxide.
Yeah? I always thought | this was a young man's game.
Oh, what do you mean | "young man's game?" That's only 'cause being crazy and cautious | at the same time is a very rare combination.
Like the pilots used to say.
"There's | old pilots and there's bold pilots, but there's damn few | old, bold pilots.
" Dad, why don't you just pack it in? Do what, sit around, wait to die? This is | the only life I know, the only life I want.
Yeah, but, Sammy, if you sold out I mean, after | all, this place has gotta be worth a chunk of money.
Yeah.
It almost all | belongs to the bank too.
Do I look crazy or something? You think if I wasn't up to my eyeballs in | hock I wouldn't do something about this place like fixing up | that whole section over there? - Yeah.
I see what you mean.
| - Now, that's the whole problem, Dad.
Even when things are going great, | we're still just barely getting by.
Now, listen.
All I have in this world, all | I have to leave you and Mark is this place! And maybe you two | can do better with it than I have, but it's gonna be here | for you to try, okay? Okay.
| Besides, another couple of weeks, the way Michael's | act is drawing, I'll be home free.
Yeah.
I don't know why a | driver as good as you are is willing to settle for | a little two-bit operation like ours, but believe me, | Lisa, Mark and me really, really appreciate | what you've been doing for us.
That's okay.
Let's just say | it was my pleasure to help.
Wait a minute.
You figure you owe me | one, right? Right.
Name your price.
Let Mark perform tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay.
| Okay.
Let's get back to work, huh? | Sure.
But that still don't tell me why.
Only half the money is here.
I asked you to rig up a couple of | accidents that would close that show down.
Hell, Sammy's doing better business now | than before I hired you.
So what do you want me to do? | Take care of Knight.
If Knight goes, the show goes.
| If the show goes, you get your money plus a five grand bonus.
Well, it ain't gonna be easy.
I already tried to fix his car.
What happened? | Don't ask.
- Try again.
| - I'll see what I can do.
You better, 'cause if you don't, | I'm gonna be there to pack you up.
- With what? | - With a big bang under the stands.
- I don't want any part of it.
| - Just do your job and nothing will happen.
The show can't go on without Knight.
It's up to you.
| By the way, if you're thinking | about backing out of this, don't otherwise, you might find some nasty, | unexpected surprise in your gas tank.
Mark.
| Yeah, Dad.
Get your act together.
| You're in today's show.
- Right! Thanks! | - Hey! Oh! Did I hurt you? | No.
You all right? | Yeah.
What made you change your mind? Well, | let's just say I got a little persuasion.
Well, thanks a lot, Dad.
I | won't let you down.
I know.
Okay.
| Mark! Yeah, Dad? | Wear my helmet At least till we get you | a show helmet of your own.
Good luck, kid.
Yeah! Show them how to do it, kid! | Knock 'em dead, Mark! Yeah.
! Whoo.
! Whoo.
! Yeah.
! You know, Mike, | with this new stunt you're performing, I realize that you're | actually saving the show for us, and I just want you to know that I | apologize for being so hostile towards you.
Forget it, Mario.
| We're all under a little pressure.
Here's to a good show.
Hey! What is this, teatime? Come on, Michael.
| You're on next.
Start getting ready.
Okay.
Thanks, Mario.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, | now we have the main event.
You were great! An impossible stunt | performed successfully only one time in the history of mankind.
The man who did it once will press his luck | and try to repeat it.
Daredevil driver Michael Knight and his faithful car nicknamed KATT.
! Did you hear that announcer? | He called me "KATT.
" That's a four- legged feline.
So go complain to your agent, huh? Michael, we're not at speed | for this maneuver.
Michael, do you understand.
? His timing is off.
His timing | is off.
He's not gonna make it.
Michael, | please hit the automatic pilot.
Showtime! KITT, oxygen.
It's gotta be Mario.
| That's it.
Let's go get him.
! Hey.
! Looks like there's | something more in the show, folks.
All right, KITT.
| Put me next to him, huh? You rigged Sammy's | car, didn't you? Yeah.
Attempted murder.
That's a long time | in jail, man.
Listen, it wasn't all me.
Who you working for? | Bill Gordon.
He said he's gonna plant a bomb.
Where? Where? The transformer.
It's | under the stands near Section E.
- Stop! | - Where's the bomb? It wasn't my idea! | It was Blake's! Where's the bomb? It's over there! | It's gonna go off any second! Thank you.
KITT, you okay? KITT! We'll discuss that | at a more appropriate time.
All right.
- Who the hell are you? | - You know damn well who I am.
What I want's money, lots of it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Let's not dance around all day, okay? I told Gordon | I wanted to talk to you one-on-one and instead you had him | try and snuff me out.
Very, very hostile, Mr.
Blake.
But as you noticed, it didn't work.
So now I'm here.
We talk.
The price? | Maybe triple.
You get my point? Assuming I knew | what you were talking about.
What I'm talking about is | I got to Gordon and Mario, and they unburdened | their somewhat grimy souls to me.
- Does anybody else know about this? | - Nobody.
Not yet.
Nobody's gonna know if we make a deal.
Either we deal, | or I take Gordon to the cops.
What'll it take | to make you happy, Knight? Money.
How much | depends on what you want.
You know what I want.
Well, tell me again, | just so we're reading the same book.
I want that show closed down for keeps.
I want that property | and I want it fast.
No restrictions on the methods? None.
Just get it done | whatever it takes.
You mean like that so-called | "accident" to Sammy or my "accident"? Right.
All right.
| What exactly do you want, Knight? I got what I want, Mr.
Blake.
You got what you | want, KITT? Every word, loud and clear, Michael.
- What is that? | - Well, it's your confession.
You see, in this day, you can't convict on the | uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice, like Gordon, so we got you on tape.
How much longer are you going to insist | on reveling in chaos and destruction? It's a tough world out there, Devon.
Hi, Bonnie.
| How's it going? Humph.
| Well, the muffler is shot.
But, um, other than that, | the damage is minor.
Oh, good.
| Feel better, Devon? Hey.
What are you doing? Removing these | disgusting decals you've defaced KITT with.
Just leave them where they are.
| I don't quite understand, Michael.
You've nailed Blake.
You've put his whole | operation out of business.
The mission is over.
- For you and the Foundation it is, but not for me and KITT.
| - I don't quite follow you, Michael.
Whether Blake is in jail or not, Sammy, Mark | and Lisa can't make it without a showstopper.
Until Sammy can drive again, KITT and | I are gonna have to pinch-hit for him.
And how much longer | is that going to take? Maybe three weeks.
| Three weeks! That's right.
Well, we look forward | to seeing you in three weeks then.
Maybe not.
Why don't you and, uh, Bonbon, | drop by and catch our act? Huh.
Ahhh.
Michael, what do | you think of a stunt where I could somersault | end-over-end? It's never been done before.
Or better still, | how about a flaming chariot? We could set my wheels on fire and do a jump.
At | night it could be quite spectacular, don't you think? Can't do anything about me.
I think | you better consider reprogramming him after thejob.
How about a double-barrel roll or a barrel roll | with a somersault combined? My data confirms | that a 100-mile-per-hour approach to a 48-degree angle One man can make a difference, Michael.
Michael Knight, | a lone crusader in a dangerous world, the world of the Knight Rider.
Think you can | replace my Dad? I got a real smart car.
How much longer are you going to insist | on reveling in chaos and destruction? It's a tough world out there, | Devon.
I don't know who he is or what he wants.
| You see he has a nice, fatal accident.
Michael, we're not at speed | for this maneuver.
Michael.
Knight Rider, a shadowy flight | into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion | the cause of the innocent, the helpless, | the powerless, in a world of criminals | who operate above the law.
Michael, do you know why | Mr.
Miles has sent for us? No, I don't know, but since we don't | have an extensive social relationship, it's probably | to brief me on another mission.
Brief you? Oh, sorry.
I meant us.
| Thank you.
You know, for a collection of | microprocessors, you're awfully touchy.
Wrong.
It's just that my circuits function | better when we operate in a reality mode.
- KITT.
| - Yes, Michael? Just keep driving.
Good.
This sucker will make my quota.
You sure you're doing only 55? Of course I am.
| Look at the readout yourself.
Yeah, well, then | why is that cop chasing us? I wouldn't know.
| After all, I'm a computer, not a psychic.
However, I would strongly suspect | the officer behind us may be trying to meet his daily ticket | quota in a somewhat irregular manner.
Well, one thing's for sure.
Bum rap or not, | I'm not taking any citation for your driving.
I see.
Well, listening to you explain that to | the police officer should be quite fascinating.
It's only five miles to the county line.
| Let's hit the turbo.
Very good thinking, Michael.
Whence croquet sprang | to benefit the Earth, what happy garden | gave this pastime birth? Devon, don't let anyone | tell you differently: You are a little strange.
This is a game of gentlemen, | of serenity, of Charles II and Samuel Pepys.
Know them? Only by reputation, | and from what I understand, they spent most of | their spare time in bed.
Oh, trust you to take the poetry | out of poetry.
Now, to business.
| Yes.
Twelve years ago, a fellow named | Sammy Phillips bought a racetrack.
Yeah.
It's called "Slammin' Sammy's | Super Stunt Show Spectacular.
" - Uh, don't ask me to say that again.
| - I wouldn't dream of it.
Devon, I've seen the guy perform.
| He is incredible.
Unfortunately, Sammy's show | may be closing shortly.
Why? For some months now, | the Foundation's computers have been tracing the movements | of a fellow named Lawrence Blake.
One of Blake's favorite tricks is to pick | up second mortgages on marginal businesses.
What's wrong with that? | Nothing on the face of it.
The interesting thing is that once | the mortgage has been acquired, the business in question suffers | an unexpected misfortune and folds.
- And Blake picks up the property for a song.
| - Exactly.
And something tells me Blake just | picked up Sammy's second mortgage, right? Oh.
Very perceptive today, Michael.
And you figure | that maybe I can stop him before he does something nasty | to Sammy or his stunt show.
Exactly.
Or better still, | catch him in the act.
Blake is long overdue | to be put away for a bit.
- It'll be a pleasure.
| - Oh, any thoughts? No, but I'll think of something.
Michael, don't forget to clear it first.
Now, don't go getting | any anxiety attacks here, Devon.
- Trust me, will ya? | - Do I have a choice? Do I ever have a choice? Hello.
Oh, yes.
| I certainly will.
Bonnie's ready for you.
Ohhh.
I only | wish that meant what it sounded like.
Always was a kid's game to me.
Hey, Dad.
Listen.
I just | worked out a really great stunt.
I'm on my motorcycle, see, | and I do a headstand Mark, I have enough problems here without | you splattering yourself all over the track.
But I've been practicing, Dad.
L I can | do things on my bike as good as anybody.
I said, "No.
" You're never gonna | give me a chance, are you? I didn't say that.
When you're | ready.
But I am ready, Dad.
I got my routine down pat.
Mark, your technique is fine.
| You're just too eager, that's all.
And in this line of work, | enthusiasm can get you killed.
A little more maturity | is all you need.
Now, just be patient, okay? Now, go on.
| Gas up my car before the show.
Oh, big deal! | Hi, Mark.
Let me guess.
He wants to | perform on his motorcycle.
Kids.
| He is getting real good, Dad.
Look.
Like I told him, | not now, okay? - Well, what's with you? | - Oh, nothing.
Nothing at all.
We're just barely breaking even here.
I got 500 condemned seats | out there that I can't use | until the stands are fixed.
I got no money to pay for it.
So the last | thing I feel like talking about is Mark, who wants to be a star | even if he kills himself doing it! Ugghhh.
I'm sorry, Lisa.
I guess I'm just a crotchety | old man who should be put out to pasture.
Tsk.
Knowing you, you'd probably try | to work up a stunt show with the cows.
Nah.
They're too slow.
Lisa.
You promised we'd rehearse | the new routine today.
Not now, Mario.
Afraid to be alone with me, huh? Mario, you've really gotta | stop watching soap operas.
Go find one of your groupies.
| I'll catch you later.
Yes, Bonnie.
That should | be a perfect calibration.
Then that's it, KITT.
You should be | functioning flawlessly at least until that nut | starts abusing you.
Thanks a lot.
Speak of the devil.
| I've made a few additions to KITT.
Oh, yeah? Like what? KITT is now equipped to oxygenate | the interior upon command.
Oh, that should be great | for the morning after.
Funny.
I've also increased the booster power | by about 25%, so keep that in mind | when you switch to alternate power.
I will.
I will.
You know something, Bonnie? | What? L- I'd like I'm really glad you told me | about those new additions to KITT.
Well, you might need them if you get | caught between a rock and a hard place.
Yeah.
I know | what that's like.
What? Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing there.
It's nothing.
| I'll see you later.
Nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen, | it's now time for the grand finale of Slammin'Sammy's | Super Stunt Show Spectacular.
The most death-defying, logic-defying, | gravity-defying group of daredevil drivers this side of the Mississippi.
One, two, three.
Two, three, four, five, six.
Now, I know you folks | have seen this sorta stuff before, and maybe even a bit more spectacular, but Slammin' Sammy is now about to show | you something you've never seen before and probably will never see again.
Sammy's going to repeat | the very same stunt you just saw, only this time | he will try to do it driving blind.
To ensure your complete confidence | in this performance, we've asked the Reverend HenryJackson | to inspect the hood and secure it on Sammy's helmet.
Actually, | ladies and gentlemen, the reverend is here | to serve a dual role.
If anything should go wrong | during this stunt, well, it's always handy | to have a reverend available.
Just a little joke, folks.
One, two, three, four Come on, come on.
| Get up! Get up! Go! Dad.
| My leg.
Leg.
My leg.
Leg.
Whoa! That's terrific.
| Thanks.
How's your father doing? Oh, he'll be | okay just won't be driving for a while.
Who are you, anyway? | Just a guy looking for a job.
Boy, is your timing incredible, | Mr Knight.
Michael Knight.
Lisa Phillips.
| Got no jobs, Mr.
Knight.
I don't know.
Seems to me | you're short a driver for a while.
Think you can replace my dad? | That's a laugh.
You haven't seen me drive yet.
Look, we can't spare a car | for you to wreck up, Mr.
Knight.
That's okay.
| I use my own.
Unless you're afraid | I'll wreck your track here.
Okay.
Go ahead and show me | what you think you can do.
- You got it.
Thanks.
| - Hmm.
So who is that? Some nut | wants to be a stunt driver.
Instead of | letting me fill in? What'd you tell him? Said we'd look.
| Why? Why not? How did it go, Michael? | Jury's still out, KITT.
We're about to audition.
Meaning? Meaning we gotta | prove we can perform stunts.
You must be joking.
I can easily | outperform those primitive stock machines the refer to as "stunt cars.
" My data indicates that if you wish, we could perform a 360-, 540-, | or even a 720-degree turn.
- So? | - There's also a multitude of more advanced evolutions we could perform.
KITT, you're forgetting one | very important element.
We're not supposed to be that good.
Oh.
| Now ya got it.
How'd I do? | Not bad for an amateur.
Well, when my life's on the line, | I learn real fast.
- You think you can teach me? | - Yeah.
Maybe you'll get us both killed.
- Maybe I won't.
| - Maybe we'll give it a shot.
- That a firm maybe? | - Maybe.
You know, there sure are a lot of maybes | in this business, aren't there? - Listen.
You hang in here for a minute and I'll check it out with my dad, okay? | - Okay.
- Hey.
You weren't too bad out there.
| - Thanks.
Michael Knight.
| Mark Phillips.
Uh, Phillips? Oh.
Yeah.
Lisa's | my sister.
Sammy's my dad.
You know, if you join up with us, could | be real tough, you learning them routines.
That's okay.
| I got a real smart car.
Well Well, I guess.
- You wanna see my act? | - Sure, man.
Shake it down.
All right.
Whoo! Ahhh.
Hey.
That was terrific.
| Hey.
Thanks.
When's Sammy gonna put you | in the show? I don't know.
Better be soon.
Don't | worry, man.
It'll come.
Yeah, well, it's taking long enough.
Mark.
| Yeah, Dad? Thought I told you to change the tires | on Mario's car.
I was just getting to it.
Don't give me that.
I just saw you hotdogging | around the track.
Yeah? What do you think? I think you better get it in gear and do | what I tell you and don't let it happen again.
Now, do you understand? You know, your son, | he's really terrific.
Yeah, I know.
| He's got a lot of talent.
Why are you so rough on him? Just trying to teach him some discipline and | responsibility, 'cause I don't want him getting hurt.
Stunt cars are bad enough, | but motorcycles are the pits.
Yeah.
Well, I wonder | if he sees it that way.
Well, if he doesn't now, | he will.
It's the way I was taught, | and if it was good enough for Who are you, anyway? Oh, I'm Michael Knight.
| I'm your new driver.
- Who says? | - Well, I did, sort of.
I've been looking for Look.
| Whose show is this, anyway? Yours, Dad.
Well, then how | come you're hiring me a driver? Three reasons.
One, we need | a temporary replacement for you.
Two, he's not bad for an amateur.
And three, | hey, no one else is applying for the job.
All right, all right.
- So you wanna drive for me, huh? | - Yes, sir.
That's the idea.
All right.
Then show me | something something interesting.
All right.
| What would you like to see? - Oh, uh, how about a little skiing? | - What's "skiing"? "What's skiing?" See what I mean? That's, uh, | driving on two wheels.
Two wheels.
| Which ones, right or left? Oh.
Your choice.
Or better still, | why not try it both ways? Both ways.
| Gotcha.
Hey, Dad.
| That's not really fair.
Probably nobody | can do it both ways.
Aw, let him find it out for himself the hard way.
Ahhh.
I guess this time | we better pull out a few stops.
Sammy's not gonna be an easy audience.
| I'm yours to command, Michael.
Anything you can think of, | I'm sure I can perform.
You know, I sure do admire your modesty.
Modesty is a state of mind, Michael.
| I only deal in facts.
Is this impressive enough? | Let's hope so.
What'd I tell you? There, Dad.
Did you ever see | anyone do that both ways before? Like that? | Not bad.
Not too bad.
Oh, don't let him kid you.
You | were great, just great.
Thanks.
Well, Sammy? Let's you and | me go up to the office and talk about how much | I'm going to underpay you.
All right.
Nicejob, Gordon.
We'll get that place by the end of the | month.
It's $5 million, cool profit.
Thank you, sir.
With Sammy out of action, we oughta be able | to take him over in about three more weeks.
I sure hope so, Mr.
Blake.
Well, you sound like | there might be a problem.
Well, last week | the show was just hanging on.
Then after Sammy's accident, the audience | dried up just as we expected it would, sir.
But | I don't need the details, Gordon.
Just give me the broad strokes.
Sammy's got himself a new driver, sir.
Doesn't matter.
Sammy's the show.
| Without him, they're dead.
What if the new guy's good? I expect you to handle it, Gordon.
If you don't, | I'll find someone who will.
Do you understand? | Yes.
Of course, Mr.
Blake.
Good.
Now get going.
By the side door, if you don't mind.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
Hey! - Aaah.
| - If I were you, buddy, I'd get out of there | before you get yourself trapped.
Who said that? Really.
Some people are simply too much.
Now, that they've tried to sabotage you, you know | we must've stirred something up.
Michael, I must confess | I have a difficult time computing the logic of this sport, | as you insist on calling it.
- Why? | - On a mathematical basis, these so-called "stunts" | do present a slight challenge, but it seems a somewhat pointless | and rather dangerous activity.
- KITT, that's not the point.
| - Then what is the point? People pay money to see the stunts.
Without money, | Sammy's show is going down the drain.
I see.
Well, Michael, if our object | is to save this enterprise, we'd best come up with something | quite exceptional.
- That seems logical.
| - What else would it be? Now that we've got that settled, | what would you suggest we do? How would I know? | You're talking show business, and that's completely outside | the scope of any known system of logic.
- You know, what, KITT? | - What, Michael? Sometimes you're no help at all.
You sure do | understand your capabilities.
Of course I do.
But you are the best judge | of what will turn people on, as they say.
I'm afraid this time the ball is | in your court, as they also say.
Whoa! Yeah! Hi, kid.
| Hi, Sammy.
I'm telling you, we're gonna | have a good show this week.
Yeah.
You know, I've been | watching you, Michael, You're good, real good.
Thanks, Sammy.
What we really need, though, | is a showstopper.
Yeah.
I've been thinking about that.
How | would you feel about me doing the finale? My stunt? Ohhh.
| No way you can do that blind.
Maybe in a year or two, | but Well, do I have to do it blind? Kid, I'll level with you.
Without | the blind finish, the act is nowhere.
As a matter of fact, the whole show isn't | really all that much not these days.
No, the blind bit's the only thing | keeping us in business and that just barely.
What do you think | about a jump over a car and a truck? Humph.
Big deal.
I jump four trucks | just for a buildup.
Yeah, but not while | they're moving in the same direction.
Ohhh, no, no, no.
No, forget that.
That's | impossible.
I know I can do it.
Oh, the ramp is simple enough, but you couldn't | build up enough speed.
How about letting me try? All you'll end up doing is wrecking a | car and maybe yourself.
I'll use my car.
All right.
If you're that determined, give it a try at practice | tomorrow.
What about the finale this afternoon? You said you needed a showstopper, | didn't you? Well, yeah, but l Okay, kid, but it's your | neck.
Okay! Okay, thanks! Ahhh.
There you go, KITT.
You're starting to look | pretty nifty there, buddy.
Really, Michael.
| Is all this garishness really necessary? Of course it is.
| We're in show business now.
You're gonna be a star.
| It'll be more appropriate.
Really? But still, I fail to understand how | these stars enhance my functional capabilities.
- That's not the point.
| - Then exactly what is the point? I don't think I can explain it | so you'd understand.
Very weak reasoning.
All right.
Look.
| Either you get the stars, or get painted red, white and blue | like all the other cars.
- Now which is it? | - Keep pasting, Michael.
Please keep pasting.
Ladies and gentlemen, | one of our drivers will now try a jump over two moving vehicles.
A stunt that has been | attempted dozens of times by various driving legends, and they've all been unsuccessful.
We are about to see | stunt driving history or witness one hell of a wreck.
! All we can say is good luck to Mike.
! - Sure we can do this, huh? | - The chances of successful completion are somewhat less that optimum.
What? Why didn't | you tell me that before? Would it have made any difference? | Well, l After all, you're the expert on | showstoppers, as I think you call them.
All I have to do is all the work, | take the punishment, the abuse of my circuitry, the Not now, KITT.
Not now.
Thank you! Thank you! That's some kind of driving, kid.
I couldn't | have done better myself.
Thanks, Sammy.
Gimme a couple of days for a little | publicity, we'll really pack 'em in.
You got it.
You really turned | this whole show around, Michael.
You know, for a guy who never drove | professionally before, you're incredible.
That was a business kiss, | not a social one.
That was a social one.
Hey.
How ya doing? Name's Bill Gordon, and that was some fantastic | stunt you just pulled off.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
You know, a guy like you could | go a long way in this business.
Think so, huh? | Oh, yeah.
How would you like to be making, say, | 50 times what you're making right now? Keep talking.
| I represent a large corporation, and I think a man with your ability | definitely has a place in our company.
Well, maybe we got | something to talk about after all.
Fine.
Fine.
Well, let's you and me | take a walk No, no.
Not you and me.
Me and the guy you work for.
I don't know about that.
| Yeah? Well, I do.
If I'm as valuable an asset as you | say I am, I don't deal below top dog.
So you touch home base with that | and, uh, let me know.
Yes.
I understand completely, | Mr.
Prime Minister, and of course, you're quite right.
Uh, as Henry Kissinger once said, "Even paranoids have real enemies.
" No, he wasn't making a joke.
He was being funny, | but there is a difference.
Uh, yes.
All right.
I'm sure that by | the time the meeting convenes next month, the whole thing | will have been worked out.
Uh, yes.
See you.
| See you very soon.
Good-bye.
Sorry about that.
He's the most | insecure man I've ever met.
How he managed to get himself | elected in the first place is one of those insoluble | political mysteries.
Well, back to, uh, | the business at hand.
You were saying? I think they've finally taken the bait.
Oh? And what leads you | to that assumption? I was approached with an offer | I'm not supposed to be able to refuse.
And, of course, you didn't.
No, I did.
| Why? Well, I'm holding out for a one-on-one | with the top dog, Mr.
Blake himself.
And precisely what is he | supposed to do, confess all? Well, that depends on exactly how badly | he wants to buy me off.
- Well, let's hope you're right.
| - Meaning? Meaning that if he's | that worried about you, there are cheaper and easier ways | to solve his problem.
Like terminating | with extreme prejudice.
Yes.
That's exactly what I mean.
Yeah.
Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Waste him.
You sure | you want to go that far? You offered him money, right? | Yeah.
Any two-bit stunt driver | would have grabbed at it.
But not him.
| He wants a face-to-face with me.
Why? I don't know, Mr.
Blake.
And I don't care.
I don't know who he is or what he wants, but | nobody, and I mean nobody, gets to me direct.
That's what I pay you for | to run interference.
Now, he doesn't wanna | play ball with you, that's fine.
He doesn't get to play ball at all.
| You take care of him.
Quietly.
No, not quietly.
Noisy.
| Big and noisy.
So you see he has an accident, | a nice fatal accident a really for real showstopper, | if you get my point.
Hey.
! Whoo.
I tell you, this stunt driving stuff | is real thirsty work.
Ah, it's all that dust, kid.
I've been eating it | for damn near 40 years now, and that's a long time to be living | on burned rubber and carbon monoxide.
Yeah? I always thought | this was a young man's game.
Oh, what do you mean | "young man's game?" That's only 'cause being crazy and cautious | at the same time is a very rare combination.
Like the pilots used to say.
"There's | old pilots and there's bold pilots, but there's damn few | old, bold pilots.
" Dad, why don't you just pack it in? Do what, sit around, wait to die? This is | the only life I know, the only life I want.
Yeah, but, Sammy, if you sold out I mean, after | all, this place has gotta be worth a chunk of money.
Yeah.
It almost all | belongs to the bank too.
Do I look crazy or something? You think if I wasn't up to my eyeballs in | hock I wouldn't do something about this place like fixing up | that whole section over there? - Yeah.
I see what you mean.
| - Now, that's the whole problem, Dad.
Even when things are going great, | we're still just barely getting by.
Now, listen.
All I have in this world, all | I have to leave you and Mark is this place! And maybe you two | can do better with it than I have, but it's gonna be here | for you to try, okay? Okay.
| Besides, another couple of weeks, the way Michael's | act is drawing, I'll be home free.
Yeah.
I don't know why a | driver as good as you are is willing to settle for | a little two-bit operation like ours, but believe me, | Lisa, Mark and me really, really appreciate | what you've been doing for us.
That's okay.
Let's just say | it was my pleasure to help.
Wait a minute.
You figure you owe me | one, right? Right.
Name your price.
Let Mark perform tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay.
| Okay.
Let's get back to work, huh? | Sure.
But that still don't tell me why.
Only half the money is here.
I asked you to rig up a couple of | accidents that would close that show down.
Hell, Sammy's doing better business now | than before I hired you.
So what do you want me to do? | Take care of Knight.
If Knight goes, the show goes.
| If the show goes, you get your money plus a five grand bonus.
Well, it ain't gonna be easy.
I already tried to fix his car.
What happened? | Don't ask.
- Try again.
| - I'll see what I can do.
You better, 'cause if you don't, | I'm gonna be there to pack you up.
- With what? | - With a big bang under the stands.
- I don't want any part of it.
| - Just do your job and nothing will happen.
The show can't go on without Knight.
It's up to you.
| By the way, if you're thinking | about backing out of this, don't otherwise, you might find some nasty, | unexpected surprise in your gas tank.
Mark.
| Yeah, Dad.
Get your act together.
| You're in today's show.
- Right! Thanks! | - Hey! Oh! Did I hurt you? | No.
You all right? | Yeah.
What made you change your mind? Well, | let's just say I got a little persuasion.
Well, thanks a lot, Dad.
I | won't let you down.
I know.
Okay.
| Mark! Yeah, Dad? | Wear my helmet At least till we get you | a show helmet of your own.
Good luck, kid.
Yeah! Show them how to do it, kid! | Knock 'em dead, Mark! Yeah.
! Whoo.
! Whoo.
! Yeah.
! You know, Mike, | with this new stunt you're performing, I realize that you're | actually saving the show for us, and I just want you to know that I | apologize for being so hostile towards you.
Forget it, Mario.
| We're all under a little pressure.
Here's to a good show.
Hey! What is this, teatime? Come on, Michael.
| You're on next.
Start getting ready.
Okay.
Thanks, Mario.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, | now we have the main event.
You were great! An impossible stunt | performed successfully only one time in the history of mankind.
The man who did it once will press his luck | and try to repeat it.
Daredevil driver Michael Knight and his faithful car nicknamed KATT.
! Did you hear that announcer? | He called me "KATT.
" That's a four- legged feline.
So go complain to your agent, huh? Michael, we're not at speed | for this maneuver.
Michael, do you understand.
? His timing is off.
His timing | is off.
He's not gonna make it.
Michael, | please hit the automatic pilot.
Showtime! KITT, oxygen.
It's gotta be Mario.
| That's it.
Let's go get him.
! Hey.
! Looks like there's | something more in the show, folks.
All right, KITT.
| Put me next to him, huh? You rigged Sammy's | car, didn't you? Yeah.
Attempted murder.
That's a long time | in jail, man.
Listen, it wasn't all me.
Who you working for? | Bill Gordon.
He said he's gonna plant a bomb.
Where? Where? The transformer.
It's | under the stands near Section E.
- Stop! | - Where's the bomb? It wasn't my idea! | It was Blake's! Where's the bomb? It's over there! | It's gonna go off any second! Thank you.
KITT, you okay? KITT! We'll discuss that | at a more appropriate time.
All right.
- Who the hell are you? | - You know damn well who I am.
What I want's money, lots of it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Let's not dance around all day, okay? I told Gordon | I wanted to talk to you one-on-one and instead you had him | try and snuff me out.
Very, very hostile, Mr.
Blake.
But as you noticed, it didn't work.
So now I'm here.
We talk.
The price? | Maybe triple.
You get my point? Assuming I knew | what you were talking about.
What I'm talking about is | I got to Gordon and Mario, and they unburdened | their somewhat grimy souls to me.
- Does anybody else know about this? | - Nobody.
Not yet.
Nobody's gonna know if we make a deal.
Either we deal, | or I take Gordon to the cops.
What'll it take | to make you happy, Knight? Money.
How much | depends on what you want.
You know what I want.
Well, tell me again, | just so we're reading the same book.
I want that show closed down for keeps.
I want that property | and I want it fast.
No restrictions on the methods? None.
Just get it done | whatever it takes.
You mean like that so-called | "accident" to Sammy or my "accident"? Right.
All right.
| What exactly do you want, Knight? I got what I want, Mr.
Blake.
You got what you | want, KITT? Every word, loud and clear, Michael.
- What is that? | - Well, it's your confession.
You see, in this day, you can't convict on the | uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice, like Gordon, so we got you on tape.
How much longer are you going to insist | on reveling in chaos and destruction? It's a tough world out there, Devon.
Hi, Bonnie.
| How's it going? Humph.
| Well, the muffler is shot.
But, um, other than that, | the damage is minor.
Oh, good.
| Feel better, Devon? Hey.
What are you doing? Removing these | disgusting decals you've defaced KITT with.
Just leave them where they are.
| I don't quite understand, Michael.
You've nailed Blake.
You've put his whole | operation out of business.
The mission is over.
- For you and the Foundation it is, but not for me and KITT.
| - I don't quite follow you, Michael.
Whether Blake is in jail or not, Sammy, Mark | and Lisa can't make it without a showstopper.
Until Sammy can drive again, KITT and | I are gonna have to pinch-hit for him.
And how much longer | is that going to take? Maybe three weeks.
| Three weeks! That's right.
Well, we look forward | to seeing you in three weeks then.
Maybe not.
Why don't you and, uh, Bonbon, | drop by and catch our act? Huh.
Ahhh.
Michael, what do | you think of a stunt where I could somersault | end-over-end? It's never been done before.
Or better still, | how about a flaming chariot? We could set my wheels on fire and do a jump.
At | night it could be quite spectacular, don't you think? Can't do anything about me.
I think | you better consider reprogramming him after thejob.
How about a double-barrel roll or a barrel roll | with a somersault combined? My data confirms | that a 100-mile-per-hour approach to a 48-degree angle One man can make a difference, Michael.
Michael Knight, | a lone crusader in a dangerous world, the world of the Knight Rider.
