Knight Rider (1982) s01e13 Episode Script

KITT, go into surveillance mode | and get ready to roll.
- Why would anyone wanna kill me? | - That's what we're hoping you'd tell us.
I think we just hit | the jackpot, KITT.
We are playing right | into the hands of that jackal.
Michael, look out! | Look out! 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.
What are you doing here? | I need a towel.
Help yourself.
Hey, I told you | not to go outside.
How am I supposed to protect you | if you keep running away from me every chance you get? Oh, | Michael, I was underwater.
No one could see me there, no? What ever happened to those neat little | clip-on numbers I used to get when I was a kid? They were great.
Yes, wait, | wait.
I'll do this for you.
So, you've had some experience | at this, huh? Some.
Recently? Why be so secretive? | I mean, after all, | we are living together.
Working together.
Just trying to be friendly.
After you prevent | my father's assassination, then I can tell you | all about me.
And, uh, you can tell me | all about you.
And we will have | a lovely time.
Hmm? There.
How's that? | Thank you.
I feel silly.
Well, you look so handsome.
All the girls | will love you madly.
Jealous? | Of course not.
Because, uh, | at the end of the evening, you will come home | to me, right? She's dangerous.
¢Ü Get closer ¢Ü ¢ÜHold her hand ¢Ü¢Ü Are you ready to be briefed | before you attend this, uh, party? Rudy del Fuego hosting a bunch | of assassins isn't my idea of a party.
I suppose you also find it tedious to conduct | your surveillance from a rented beach house.
All expenses paid | by the Foundation, of course.
And the girl too.
I mean, don't forget | the beautiful girl I'm living with.
Working with.
What's that, KITT? | San Mirada.
A militaristic state until the recent | election of President Eduardo Casafranca.
Maria Elena's father? Yes, there's been a slight change.
| He's arriving a day early to attend the international | equestrian show.
Then he'll continue | his appearances as scheduled, in spite of the threats | on his life.
Who's that? | Your host, Rudy del Fuego.
The man who had the most to lose | when Casafranca was elected.
Yeah, and the most to gain | by his assassination.
One thing's for sure he's not | gonna pull the trigger himself.
His kind never does.
This is David Burns.
An American | investor in San Mirada's emerald mines and the most likely | coconspirator.
Myjob is to find the hired gun.
| Any ideas, KITT? Yes, I think a striped tie | would be very nice with that suit.
Or perhaps a simple paisley, | don't you think? I'll park it myself.
| Thanks.
Hey, it's okay.
I've | driven one of these before.
It's been acting kind of funny, | so if you'll just point out a good spot.
Whatever.
Anywhere | along there will be fine.
Thank you.
Some guys will do anything | to save a buck.
It's gonna | cost him plenty.
Rudy.
! | Margo.
! I'm so glad you made it.
| I thought you were out of town.
- I was.
| - Paul, it's so nice to see you.
Welcome.
Thank you very much.
Here you are, my love.
Hey, Marcello.
| How's Nancy? Hey, Larry, you son of a gun.
How long has it been? | Did you see my wife Kiki? Please go inside.
Thank you | very much.
Have a nice day.
That's one.
Hello, darling.
| How have you been? Hello.
Fine.
| How are you? It was Rio, wasn't it? | Two years ago, last spring? Rio? You must try | Rudy's hot tub, darling.
It'll bring back memories.
Well, I'd love to, | but I didn't bring my swimsuit.
Your swimsuit? We didn't meet in Rio, | did we? Forgive me.
I didn't recognize | you with your clothes on.
I mean | Never mind.
Try Rudy's hot tub anyway.
Hmm.
That's two.
Nice seeing you.
| Maurice.
Sorry.
| That's off-limits.
Oh, somebody down there told me | this was the bathroom.
Well, obviously, somebody | down there is mistaken.
Why don't you try it again? Rio.
Two years ago, last spring? No.
There's a guy who looks | just like you.
No? No.
Um Oh, it's you.
- Thank you.
| - For what? For the champagne, remember? Oh, the cha Yeah, of course, | I remember.
It was my pleasure.
Hmm.
Actually, | I'd already decided that I had more than enough, but, well, | since you delivered it so nicely What's your name anyway? | My name is Michael.
Hey, no kidding? | They ever call you Mickey? - Never.
| - It's a good thing.
It could get confusing.
I mean, 'cause | that's my name Micki with an "i.
" I know it's a dumb name, | but it's the only one I got.
What's the matter? | You all right? No, I don't feel so good.
I think it was | that last glass of champagne.
- I'm sorry.
| - It's okay.
I'm a big girl now.
But I think I'd better | go find someplace to lie down.
All right.
| You take it easy, okay? Try to get out | of this one, buddy.
So, you trust this man, huh? | This Frenchman.
He's the best.
| Purely professional.
No political | or personal axes to grind.
Not like us, | huh, David? That's your business.
All I care about | is protecting my investments.
You seem to be doing | all right.
It's all on credit.
Everything I have went into | San Mirada's emerald mines on your assurances that your | friends would remain in power there.
We both have a great deal | to lose, my friend.
Let's go down | and enjoy the party.
There is a young lady | I want you to meet.
Oh, hi.
I must have fallen asleep.
It's real comfy.
| It's a little warm maybe, but KITT, go in your surveillance mode | and meet me at the door.
Hey, what's going on? I would have been here sooner, | but you didn't tip the valet.
Car just left here, KITT, | with two guys.
And a female in the backseat, | apparently unconscious.
They turned right | at the end of the driveway.
It's a gray Seville.
- Shall we overtake them? | - No, not just yet.
I wanna make sure | I know where they're headed.
- So, what are we gonna do with her? | - Let's keep it simple.
There's a whole ocean out there.
| We might as well use it.
- Grab her! She's trying to get out! | - Let go of me! Aah! - What's going on? | - They seem to be out of control.
Let's go.
Aah! Get the wheel! | I can't see! Stop it! Crazy broadjumped out.
I'm afraid that was | your unconscious female.
Let's cut 'em off.
Hey, who's that guy anyway? Let's get going.
Michael, you're | letting them get away.
I know, KITT, but we gotta | make sure the girl's okay.
Think it'll hold, KITT? My winch apparatus was not | designed for mountain climbing.
But I'm willing to risk it | if you are.
You're one lucky lady.
There you go.
All right, KITT.
| Let's go! KITT.
KITT! Michael, the pulley is overheated.
| I'm cooling it now.
It's ready now.
| Terrific! A temporary memory loss? | You mean, she has amnesia? Not exactly.
| The doctor said that sometimes a trauma can cause | a psychological block.
It's possible she could | remember a few things.
I don't want her interfering | with your work.
Devon, all I know is those two guys from the | party, they didn't take her for a joyride.
Okay, okay, | but what if she's a spy? How can we be sure that she's not | secretly working for for Rudy? Probably because Rudy | tried to have her killed.
What I wanna do | is find out why.
I don't like this.
| I don't like the We are playing right into | the hands of that jackal.
Trust doesn't come too easy | for you, does it? There's no time left for trust.
But you didn't check | to see if she was dead.
She went over.
I saw it.
| When that car got in the way, well, I figured the best thing to do | was to get outta there fast.
The best thing to do | is to finish the job.
This wouldn't have happened | in my country.
In your country, Rudy, they shoot | first and ask questions later.
I want you to check the beach for | tire marks.
Anything.
Watch her house.
If she's dead, | get rid of the body.
If she's alive, I wanna know who | she talked to and what she said.
Yes, sir.
| Let's go.
Should we tell the Frenchman | about the girl? You don't inform professionals | of that sort.
You simply hire | and pay them.
In that case, | I once again put my trust in you, | David Burns.
- Cheers.
| - Isn't it a little early for this? Never too early to celebrate | success and friendship.
Hey, lovely color the color of money.
Hey, this is useless.
| We can't even get down there.
So, what are we gonna do? We come back in the daylight | with a boat.
Come on.
¢Ü Get closer ¢Ü ¢Ü Want love ¢Ü | Is this safe enough? ¢Ü Hold her hand ¢Ü | That's perfect.
But if we can see Rudy through these, | there's a good chance he can see us.
Mm, what's that smell? Coconut oil.
Makes you feel | like having a pina colada.
Or something.
Excuse me.
| Where am I? Morning, Micki.
| I'm Michael, remember? Micki? | Who's Micki? - What's going on around here? | - There was an accident yesterday, And you had | a temporary memory loss.
Oh.
Then, it wasn't a dream.
Um, do I know you? I'm Michael Knight.
| I met you at the party yesterday.
Look, I don't meet guys at parties | and then go home with them.
I don't think.
Do you remember anything? | Anything at all? I think there were | there were two men.
L- I felt | I felt like I was falling.
I don't understand.
Those two men, we think | they tried to kill you.
Why would anyone wanna kill me? That's what we were hoping | you'd tell us.
- Did you think of something? | - Kind of.
I'm hungry.
Don't worry, Micki.
| We'll help you remember.
Now, did you take a purse | with you to the party? Yeah.
I mean, well Well, I-I guess so.
Don't | you think? Maybe I dropped it.
I'll tell you what.
I'll go down | to the beach and look for it, huh? If you need me, | either of you, you call me on the comlink.
| Uh, Michael? - Thank you.
| - That's okay.
- You're a real nice lady.
| - Am I? Somebody doesn't think so.
Michael, there were a substantial | number of vehicles at the party last night.
Doing a comparative analysis | of license plates can be very involved, sometimes as far back | as the factory where the car was made.
Kinda like a family tree, huh? I hate to be the one to break this | to you, but automobiles are not human.
They have no lineage | or personality.
I wonder why | I keep forgetting that.
You've probably begun to form | a psychological attachment to me.
That would be | a logical human response.
No.
I think it was that '56 Chevy | I had in high school.
Boy, I loved that car.
Really? KITT, go into | surveillance mode, huh? - Michael? | - Yeah, KITT.
Could your 1956 Chevrolet | go into surveillance mode? No, but we sure had some fun | cruising hamburger joints.
Ray, we got company.
You always carry a purse | when you go to the beach? Well, it keeps my suntan lotion | from melting.
- See ya.
| - Hold it.
Sometimes it attracts | the wrong kind of people.
KITT, I need help.
Just give us the purse.
I'm sorry.
| I mean, I didn't realize, you know? It really doesn't go | with your outfit at all.
It's my mother's.
What the hell is that? Ray! Ray, come on! Forget that! | Let's get outta here! Come on! Michael, are you all right? | Michael? I'm afraid this is | as far as we go, Michael.
Let's go back and get | what we came for.
Don't worry.
I'll talk to | Bonnie about adding pontoons.
It doesn't make sense.
I mean, nobody leaves the house | without a driver's license, some kind of I.
D.
What good is a key | if I don't know where it fits? I'm sorry.
I don't know.
| I just feel so helpless.
You're all I've got.
You know | what's the scariest part of all? The more time goes by, the more scared I get | that I'm not gonna remember.
I promise you | I'll find out who you are.
Somebody's bound to | report your disappearance.
What if they don't? Then they don't know | what they're missing.
You better get ready.
Okay.
| You hang in there.
Excuse me.
| No problem.
Uh, actually, | I wanted a word with you.
In private | if you don't mind.
Why would I mind? Michael, I'm getting worried.
Join the club.
I'm serious.
| My father arrives in one hour, and we still don't have a clue of | who could be his his murderer.
Marie Elena, we don't have | that much to work with.
It It's this thing | with Micki.
I know she's a nice girl.
| I know, but it's all this time | you spend with her.
Micki's memory could turn out to | be the clue.
And what if it isn't? If you spend all your time on her, | maybe it's too late to help my father.
I'm sorry, Michael.
But you are | our only hope right now.
And And we need you.
I need you.
Round three.
Of the seven possible assassins, my sources | have uncovered movement in three areas.
Micki, you recognize | any of these pictures? Hmm.
No.
But this one kind of looks | like Al Pacino, don't you think? Sorry.
This one is Carlos.
| Somehow or other, I don't think they'd hire him | for a Latin American hit.
Romeo and Juliet.
- Devon, that's one picture.
Are they a team? | - They're one person.
No one knows if the assassin | is a man or a woman.
Now, the Frenchman | is a definite possibility.
The Frenchman? There was something | about a Frenchman.
- Are you sure? | - Yes! L- I remember these two guys | were talking about a Frenchman.
What exactly did they say? Micki, that's good.
Really.
| It saves us a lot of work.
All we gotta do now | is find the Frenchman's aliases.
- Hello.
| - Hello.
Joe Palmer.
| I remember I'm engaged to him.
You're engaged | to the Frenchman? No.
L-I'm engaged toJoe Palmer.
| He's my fiance.
We have to find him.
| He'll know who I am.
Yeah, what is it? My scanners show Burns's car | is now leaving the beach house.
I'll be right there.
| Wait.
What about me? Bonnie will show you | how to use the comlink.
I'm sorry, Micki.
I'm sorry.
| Please, try to understand.
You know, | this is so important.
I understand, okay? | I understand that you have a father and a home | and you know someone loves you.
I understand perfectly.
Michael, what is the purpose | of following David Burns? Instinct, KITT.
Instinct.
You know I can't compute instinct.
| Is there anything I can do? Yeah.
Promise to cruise a | hamburger joint with me someday.
If we must.
But meanwhile, Burns is | now three quarters of a mile up and turning left.
| Great.
As long as they don't know | where we are.
I think we just hit | the jackpot, KITT.
Well, while we wait | for the payoff, I've had some results | on the Frenchman's aliases.
I still haven't determined | which is his real name.
That's okay.
He probably | doesn't even remember himself.
- Wow, that's great, KITT.
| - Merci beaucoup.
Just how many languages | do you speak now, anyway? Should I count the archaic tongues? Hi, Joe? | This is Micki.
You know Micki.
You don't know.
This is Joe Palmer, | isn't it? I see.
Well, I'm sorry | if I bothered you.
Have a nice day.
KITT, do you see what I see? If you're referring to that derelict | 70 meters in front of us, yes.
Go in for a closer look, huh? Michael, why should that common bum | be of any concern to us? Because your average common bum | doesn't wear a Swiss watch.
Shall we, as you say, take him? Not just yet.
| Let's just follow him.
I don't wanna blow it | till we're sure.
I don't wanna report | a missing person.
I wanna know | if someone else did.
No, I know where she is.
Look.
All I wanna know is did someone report | a missing Micki? This is not a joke.
It's not even a little bit funny.
Oh, forget it.
Pretty big hotel, KITT.
| How am I gonna find his room, huh? Well, why don't you use | your instincts, Michael? Yeah, right.
Hi.
Sorry to bother you, | but I locked my keys in my room.
Always happens when I'm in a hurry.
Thank you.
All he cares about is hurting me and stealing something | from Steven Brickmont.
Something that's you.
You're nothing | but a piece of property.
That's not true.
| And by next week, I'm going to be Mrs.
Joe Palmer.
| I won't allow it.
I'll stop him if I can't | stop you.
That's me! Look, Joe loves me | and I love him.
I'm an actress.
| Of course! You wouldn't know | what to do with a real man.
A pretty good actress too.
I lost him.
Well, you're only human, | and he is one of the world's best.
Yeah.
What's that? The comlink.
| Micki depressed the switch.
- I have a message for you.
| - Okay, let's hear it.
Michael? It's me, Micki Bradburn.
See? I remembered everything.
| I'm going home.
KITT? I've anticipated | your next request, Michael.
There is a Micki with an "i" | Bradburn living in Santa Monica.
Let's go! Welcome home.
Yeah, I can keep her here | till the action dies down.
Then we can tie up | the loose ends.
Right.
Look.
I don't remember anything.
I got amnesia | when I fell off the cliff.
See? Amnesia? You've been | watching too many soap operas.
Ladies and gentlemen, | mesdames and messieurs, welcome to the Third Los Angeles | International Equestrian Grand Prix.
Our field of contestants | representing 12 nations are now in the process | of filing onto the field and trooping the colors | of their respective countries prior to the national anthem and a start | to this afternoon's competition.
We are honored today | to have 44 of the world's premiere | Grand Prix horses and riders.
Hope I'm not too late.
Um, well, can I get you | something to drink? You're the one who needs | something to drink.
Come on, we'd better go | and call for reinforcements.
I understand that this is your | favorite sport, Mr.
President.
Actually, Maria Elena's mother | has always loved horses.
I feel that it's important for | our country to be represented in such an international event.
My people will be very proud | and very happy.
Well, Daddy, | it will make me very happy if you turn around right now | and get back into that plane.
What would I say when I got | back to San Mirada, daughter? No.
To become a coward is as | hateful as becoming a dictator.
Daddy? | Si, querida.
I'm very proud of you.
I am a very stubborn old man.
You are my president.
Is this a pep talk | before my speech? Maybe.
Micki, do you remember one of | those guys trying to kill you? No.
Well, sort of.
| L- I think that Well, it must have had something to do with | what I heard them say about that French guy.
All right.
What else | did you hear them say? Something about, uh, people watching.
| People watching? A pedestrian show? | Pedestrian show? Wait a minute.
| An An equestrian show? - KITT? | - Yes, Michael.
The equestrian grounds.
| According to my calculations, - they're 20 miles from here.
| - Let's go for it.
Did you reach Devon yet? There's a great deal of activity on the | communication system there.
I'm working on it.
Michael, look out! | Look out! Michael, if you don't stop driving | like this, I'm gonna jump out.
Again? Michael, I'm picking up a man | with a high-powered weapon.
He's 50 meters straight ahead.
Get him in the limo.
| Let's go! Move it! Michael, be careful! Don't worry.
You're | completely safe in this car.
I meant the horses.
| Don't scare the horses.
Hang on! We can easily catch him, Michael.
I know, KITT, but I don't wanna hurt | the horse.
Just wanna wear him out.
Take over, buddy.
Yeah! ¢Ü Get closer ¢Ü ¢Ü Want love ¢Ü¢Ü Michael? | Yes, KITT.
How much longer | will we be staying here? - Two days.
Why? | - The sea air is very bad for my circuitry.
Well, it's real good | for my, uh, my lungs.
See you in two days, buddy.
- Michael, you don't have enough flowers.
| - What are you talking about? My sensors show Marie Elena | already has a visitor.
For you.
Thank you.
You're so sweet.
For you.
Thank you.
My hero.
Well, anybody wanna, uh, | cruise a hamburger joint? Michael Knight, a lone crusader | in a dangerous world, the world of the Knight Rider.
