Knight Rider (1982) s02e20 Episode Script

You're real good, but you | don't fool me.
You're no killer.
They didn't kill me before, | they won't do it now.
We must have that car.
Ditch the kidnappers | and meet me out front.
Take it down, | turn it off, deactivate it.
You heard him, | deactivate yourself.
I'm in the storeroom | and there's no way out.
You appear to be cornered.
I guess this is goodbye, | MichaeI.
Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world | of a man who does not exist.
MichaeI Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion | the cause of the innocent, the helpIess, the powerless, in a world of criminals | who operate above the law.
He's comin' out, KITT.
All right, he's heading | for his car.
Let's nail him.
All right, hold it, | Brummel! You've had it, Brummel.
| Just stay cool.
Okay, KITT, he's all yours.
All right, buddy, | call the police.
The wrong guy, pal.
Yeah? I got the right guy, pal.
Yes, what is it? You won't believe this, but I just saw Michael Long.
You can't have | seen him, Simpson.
He's dead.
I swear it's him.
The face is different, | surgery or something.
But the moves, the walk, the | build are the same.
And the voice.
I couldn't mistake the voice.
It's him, Cameron.
He just nailed Brummel.
All right.
Follow him.
Check him out | and get back to me.
Okay, guys, he's all yours.
I have a rather | unusual job for you tonight.
You did a remarkable job in | tracking Brummel down, Michael.
Good work.
| Thank you.
Every once in a while, it feels | great to win the game, doesn't it? Right now, I feel like I can tackle | the toughest case in the books.
I told you, | you can't go in there.
I tried to stop her, Devon, | but she was so determined.
It's not fair.
My problem is just | as important as anyone else's.
Just a moment.
| Uh, what is your problem? My problem is this: My name is Gina Adams, and | I'm a freelance toy designer.
This is my newest design, | called Mighty Mouth.
There are only two | in existence.
Oh, it's very charming, | Miss Adams.
But what has a teddy bear | to do with the Foundation? Anything you can, buster.
I beg your pardon? Now I know why they call | him "Mighty Mouth.
" Oh, yes.
I have designed | a micro voice module and a communication computer | for Mighty Mouth.
He responds | to over 1,500 phrases.
Either by voice activation or you | simply press his nose, like this.
Yes, yes, thank you, | we'll take your word for it.
Gina, what is the problem? Well, the problem is I've sold Mighty Mouth to a | manufacturer, only I can't deliver because my schematics have | been stolen by Triple-M Toys.
Now, why a major company like that | would have to steal from someone like me? Especially after all the | years I have put into this.
She's telling the truth, | Devon.
I checked her | references already.
Well, you wanted | the toughest job in the book.
That means | you'll help me, then? Thank you, Mr.
Miles.
I cannot | tell you what this means to me.
Well, actually, it will be | Michael you'll be working with.
Now, wait a minute.
Thank you.
I- I think that should | work out just beautifully.
All right, you said | there were two of these.
Is that the one the | schematics are based on? Oh, no, | that one is at my apartment.
But could you | hang on to this? I can't afford | to lose anything else.
Nice face, cute figure, two more legs | and you'II look like trigger.
Better watch your mouth, or I'll turn you | into a throw pillow.
Come on, KITT, | say something to the bear.
I'm sorry, MichaeI, | I have nothing to say.
KITT, you always | have something to say.
Come on, talk to it.
You two have a lot | in common, you know.
We certainly do not.
Computers are | serious tools, MichaeI.
Oh, don't be such | a stick-shift-in-the-mud.
Computer games are | very serious to kids.
Sharpening one's mentaI acuity | and coordination are one thing.
Talking bears | are quite another.
What do you say to that? I'm rubber, you're glue.
Whatever you say bounces | off of me and sticks to you.
MichaeI, either he leaves, | or I do.
Neither one of you | leaves at the moment.
Keep your scanners peeled | for bear-nappers, huh? Baby-sitting a pincushion.
| How demeaning.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right here.
You won't believe this, | but I couldn't have offered you | this car yesterday.
Just took her in trade | from my own grandmother.
Poor dear.
Couldn't | see the road anymore.
Of course, she hasn't driven | for over a year anyway.
This is it.
What workmanship.
This car will go | 100,000 miles easy.
Our factory-trained | service specialists have been over it | with a fine-toothed comb.
Of course, | this is solid steel, too.
It's, uh, it's not like | those fiberglass babies, they've been turnin' | out now from Detroit.
I beg your pardon? W- Who said that? This is nothing.
| This, uh You ought to be | ashamed of yourself.
Come in, Michael.
Wow.
Don't tell me.
You feel | like you're in a toy store.
I feel like | I'm in a toy store.
That's okay, I love toys.
Just not your idea of | serious work though, right? Well Would you like to know what that | carrot-top doll grossed last year? No, I'd like you to tell me all | you know about Triple-M Toys.
Today is Saturday and | the factory is closed.
So I figure if we get over | there now, no one will be there, and we can get | my schematics back.
Wait a minute.
Are you tellin' me | it's that simple, huh? Why not? That's what they did to me.
Let's go.
This is an incredible car.
I've seen better.
Nobody asked you.
KITT is a little ahead | of his time, but he's also very sensitive.
And how about you, Michael? I'm a little ahead | of my time, too.
I see.
That's very disturbing news.
Thank you | for letting us know.
What's wrong, Devon? A grave was | robbed last night.
It was Michael Long's.
But the coffin was empty.
Precisely.
Which means that | whoever opened it, knows now that | Michael Long is not dead.
You mean someone's found out | who he really is? Who would go | to all that trouble? There's only one person | I can think of.
The same person who ordered | him killed in the first place.
Cameron Zachary.
It's up ahead, on the left.
That's a toy factory? It's one of the biggest.
Somehow, I was expecting | something like Santa's Village.
You know, stuffed reindeer | and lots of fake snow.
Michael, | toys are big business, and to Triple-M, | that's all they are.
All right, let's see | if any of the elves are home.
KITT, give me a readout on the | security system and all personnel.
The internaI alarms | are simple, MichaeI.
I show only two guards, | and they appear to be playing cards | in the basement.
The coast is clear.
And I thought Mighty Mouth | was the ultimate in hi-tech.
Mighty Mouth is the | ultimate pain in the neck.
Listen, you know | how these people think.
Where do you think | they'd keep the stolen plans? They'd be in | Research and Development.
But I don't know | where that is.
KITT.
To the left of | the main door, MichaeI.
Bingo! Wait a minute.
You stay in the car.
| The elves could be armed.
Michael, | you need me to show you what you're looking for, | and besides, you can't make me stay.
You know, you are as stubborn | as Mighty Mouth.
All right, KITT, I'm gonna | need some help with this lock.
Right away, MichaeI.
Thanks.
MichaeI, watch out.
| I'm picking up- Cover us! Gina? Gina, come on, baby.
Are you all right? | Gina? Oh, what happened? Oh, don't tell me I fainted.
You fainted.
I asked you | not to tell me that.
Come on.
Her pulse is returning | to normaI, MichaeI.
Vitals look fine.
Good.
You jumped between me | and the bullet.
You risked your life | to save mine? You're all right, that's | all that counts.
Come on.
KITT, what about | that sniper? He's out of range | to the north.
MichaeI, those bullets | were very unusuaI.
I'm analyzing the one | that struck my door.
Fill me in later, | we got to get this lady home.
Michael, I feel so shaky.
Sounds like a normal, healthy | reaction to being shot at.
How could I thank you? | You saved my life.
We're both lucky | KITT was there.
All in a day's work, MichaeI.
All right, keep your | eyes open, just in case.
Certainly, MichaeI.
I had two of | these beauties, and I took one home | for my own son.
He's just about your age, and, uh, he'd been savin' up | his money for his first car, and I just knew that this | was the one that he deserved.
On the other hand, I think that there is a car | over at the other end of the lot that you should see first.
Right over here.
They were shooting at us.
I can't believe that they | were actually shooting at us.
Yeah.
Well, I can.
I guess it's back to | the drawing board for me.
Wait a minute.
You don't want to | back out now, do you? Michael, I have | this strange idiosyncrasy.
I like living.
Yeah, well, | I've got one, too.
When I start a job, | I finish it.
You're serious, | aren't you? You bet, lady.
I'll check in with Devon | and get back to you.
Meanwhile, after I leave, | you lock the door.
Okay? Okay.
All right.
Big surprise.
Our piece-of-cake toy caper | we were working on turned out to be | much bigger.
Someone just tried | to take out Gina and me in front of the Triple-M.
I'm telling you.
Devon- Michael there's something | I have to tell you.
What? What's wrong? Michael Long's grave | was opened last night.
What? Who would do | something like that? I'm afraid | it's quite a story.
There's an international | criminal named Cameron Zachary who has dozens of operatives | working for him.
They've pirated secrets | from governments, companies, and individuals | the world over.
Wilton Knight was also | one of Zachary's victims.
One of his chief operatives was | a murderess named Tanya Walker.
Tanya? Tanya Walker, the woman who shot you three years | ago when you were MichaeI Long.
Why didn't you tell me | about Zachary before? There was no point in it.
He'd long since vanished | from the country.
The man you had | arrested yesterday was released on bail | last night by one of | Zachary's attorneys.
He's back, Michael.
| Zachary has returned.
You think | he's still after me? Yes, I do.
| Why? Zachary was Tanya's lover.
He still blames you | for her death.
All right, | what do you want me to do? I want to keep you out of harm's | way until we locate Zachary.
Devon, I'm working on a case, | I can't just hide.
You have no idea | how dangerous this man is.
Yeah, but I'm the only bait that | can draw him out in the open.
I've never been a quitter, | I'm not going to start now.
Since these are | extraordinary circumstances, I think you need | a little extra protection.
This is a homing device.
If you get separated | from KITT for any reason whatsoever, | press it.
It overrides all his programs and brings him to your rescue, | wherever you are.
Thanks.
Don't worry.
They didn't kill me before, | they won't do it now.
You're telling me | you had a clear shot at Michael Long | and you missed? I would have had him, but his | car got in my line of fire.
What car? It's some kind of custom, | futuristic thing.
It moved between me | and Knight.
Who drove it? That's just it.
| No one.
It drove itself.
Drove itself? Wilton Knight's miracle car! That's got to be it.
Simpson.
I guarantee, if he actually | managed to build that car, it could make all our other | projects pale by comparison.
Now we must | shift our strategies.
But the laser? The crystals are | arriving today.
Don't argue with me.
We must have that car.
And Michael Long.
My wife's so fat, when she sits | around the house, she sits around the house.
I think it's time for Mighty | Mouth to take a back seat.
Hey, no fair! By the way, | I completed analysis on the sniper's bullets, and I must say I'm puzzled.
No kidding.
You're not | easily puzzled, KITT.
What's so strange about 'em? They're made | of a waxy substance containing a very exotic | tranquilizer called morbadine.
Why would anybody | want to put Gina to sleep? I don't think anybody did.
Sounds to me like they | were meant for Michael Long.
I guess he wants me alive.
MichaeI.
| Yeah.
I want you alive, too.
Michael? Yeah, it's me.
No puppets this time.
Somehow I'm not feeling very | playful anymore.
How about you? Well, Devon wasn't too happy | about our afternoon, but I am still on the case.
You're a real bulldog, | aren't you? Is your job | always this dangerous? No, not always.
Look, I'm going back | to the factory tonight, alone.
I need to know exactly | what I'm lookin' for.
Oh, Michael, thanks, but no.
I don't want you | on my conscience.
Hey, I was the one who thought | it wasn't important, remember? Nobody is | twisting my arm here.
Tell me anything you know about | Triple-M that might help me.
Michael, I really think- I'll tell you what, just | give me the original bear.
KITT can scan | his schematics well enough to identify 'em | in the factory.
All right.
You know, | when I left Wisconsin, my mother warned me | about city boys.
But I wish | she could meet you.
Yeah.
Don't you go anywhere | until I get back.
Yes? It's Gina.
He's on his way | to the toy factory.
He should be there | in about 30 minutes.
Good.
When he goes inside, my men | will have easy access to the car.
KITT, can you give me a hard | copy on Mighty Mouth's circuitry so I'll recognize it | when I see it? Right away, MichaeI.
MichaeI, computers can save | lives, enhance communication.
Why waste | this fine technology on an obnoxious little toy? Don't knock the rock, bub.
| It's a living.
Stop arguing, children.
We're almost there.
I think the roof is our | best bet, MichaeI.
There are no alarms | on the skylights.
Okay, pal.
Keep me posted on anything | that happens outside.
Bon Voyage.
Arrivederci.
Sayonara.
| Adios.
Aloha.
Ta-ta.
Oh, shut up.
Okay, let her rip.
Nice work, pal.
KITT, if this is just | a toy factory, I'm Peter Pan.
There's that car | Zachary wanted us to take.
Get on the walkie-talkie.
We spotted the car.
The guy's gotta be inside, | keep an eye out.
KITT, I just saw | a computer in here.
Tap into it and get | what information you can.
All right, MichaeI, | but I have a problem.
Somebody's trying to steaI me.
Keep him busy.
| I can't help you right now.
I'm already | in the outer office.
KITT, I think | somebody is in there.
Let's move.
KITT, they're onto me.
I'm in the storeroom | and there's no way out.
I'm afraid you're right, | MichaeI.
You appear to be cornered.
KITT, give me a diversion.
| Use your microwave jabber.
There he goes! Ditch the kidnappers | and meet me out front.
To coin a phrase, | I'm out of here.
What's happening? The car broke the chain! Over here, KITT! Way to go, pal.
Did you find Gina's designs? In a manner of speaking, | yeah.
I don't understand, Michael.
If you were | suspicious of Gina, why did you continue | with the case? Devon, I had to be sure.
There was something strange | about her apartment.
I mean, | all her toys were new.
A person who loved toys would | have collected them all her life.
Then, tonight, | I made a point of telling her I was going back | to the factory.
Sure enough, there was | an ambush waiting for me.
Yes, it sounds like Zachary.
His women worm their way into the | lives of the men he wants to destroy.
That's what Tanya Walker | did to Wilton Knight.
Yeah, well, | it's not workin' on me.
Let me show you what I found | on the factory computer.
Okay, KITT, feed it in.
Zachary owns the | Triple-M Toy Company.
But the project | he's working on is no toy.
It's a laser handgun.
The factory is geared up | for production, but the toys are just there | for show.
What do you intend to do? I'll tell Gina I'm onto her.
I'm going to try | to persuade her to help us.
She could lead us | to Zachary.
What makes you think | you can trust her? The way she looked at me | when the bullet struck.
Devon, that was real.
I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
I don't like it either.
But it's a lot better than | letting Zachary get away again.
So the car moves on its own.
And thinks for itself? Apparently it can, but its directions do come | from its driver.
Amazing.
And he talks to it th-through | this wristwatch device? It's a "comlink," | he calls it.
Cameron, | my guys were the best and they couldn't | crack that car.
Is this really worth | jeopardizing the laser project? Let's not lose | perspective here.
You don't understand, | do you? We can't begin to comprehend | that car's capabilities.
I mean to have it, and Michael | Long's death in the bargain.
I'd sacrifice anything.
I thought that | you wanted Michael alive.
You said that you wanted | information from him.
Did I? Icing on the cake, | my dear.
When we're through | with him, we'll be on our way | to the islands with the laser components, | the car, and our own | private fantasies.
You'd like that, | wouldn't you, my dear? Of course.
Good.
Let me out of here! | Let me out of here! MichaeI, I'm not sure I can take much more | of that fur ball.
Well, if we're real lucky, | we won't have to.
He's going back to Gina soon.
Gina appears to be | such a nice girI, MichaeI.
People so often turn out | not to be what they seem.
How can you tell who to trust | and who not to? You can't, buddy.
You just got to | take your chances.
All right.
| Be ready when I call you.
Yes, MichaeI.
A lady wants certain things | from a car.
Comfort, reliability, | ease of handling.
Now, my wife, she wants me | to take this car home to her because she thought that it would | not give her any problems at all.
Oh.
Never mind.
No, is this the car | you're talking about? Oh, it's useless.
| You don't want this car.
Oh, I don't know.
Look, lady, these are retreads.
This is a $25 paint job | we did on it, real quick.
The valves need grinding, we took the radiator | out of an old Wyllis.
I'll take it.
I will try to find you | another car, somethin' in a What did you say? I'll take it.
I just completed | mechanics training and I'm looking | for a fixer-upper.
$300 cash? Sold.
Honesty is the best policy.
Michael, hello.
When you didn't come back | last night, I was so worried.
Really? Why is that? Well, because Oh, I'm just glad | that you're all right.
Would you care whether | I got the plans or not? There aren't any plans, | are there? There never were | any plans, were there? What are you talking about? I'm talkin' | about Cameron Zachary and how you set me up | to get killed.
You know, I was really | beginning to like you a lot.
How does someone like you get | involved with someone like him anyway? Michael, I don't know | where you come from.
But I came from | the middle of the Midwest.
I was the middle kid of three.
We lived in the middle | of a middle-sized town in a middle-class | neighborhood.
Middle, middle, middle.
So what? Is that so bad? Yes! It was for me.
I wanted a chance to get out, | to live life on the edge.
So when Cameron Zachary came | along, I saw my brass ring.
I grabbed it- All right! All right.
I can | understand you wanting some excitement.
But do you have any idea what | you're getting involved in here? Come on, Michael, | we steal ideas.
What is so horrible | about that? Corporations do it.
| Governments do it.
We think of ourselves | as freelancers.
Is that what | Zachary told you, huh? All neat and clean.
| No dirt under the fingernails.
Listen to me, let me tell | you somethin' about this man.
Do you know how many lives | he's destroyed? Do you know how many people | he's killed? Murder means nothin' to him.
Believe me, I know.
You stick around him | long enough, murder's gonna mean | nothing to you either.
I'm sorry, Michael.
But I don't have any choice.
Yes, you do, Gina.
| Yes, you do.
I look at you and I see somethin' | I don't see in other people.
I see a softness.
| I see a tenderness.
You're a good actress, girl.
You're real good, | but you don't fool me.
You're no killer.
Gina, I need you.
The Foundation is working on | immunity for you.
It can stop here.
It has to stop now.
Come on, girl, | give me that gun.
Come on.
It's all right.
It's okay.
Hello? Michael.
It's Cameron.
| He wants to talk to you.
Yeah.
Mr.
Knight.
Or should I say Mr.
Long? All right, | what do you want from me? I want you.
| And I want your car.
And if I don't get | what I want, I'm going to kill Gina Adams.
Get out of here, go to the | Foundation.
You'll be safe.
No, Michael, | I'm not gonna leave you.
Get out of here! Exit the building.
Mr.
Simpson will be | waiting for you.
He'll tell you | what you are to do.
Gina.
Get in the back | of the car.
Let's go.
Over to your car.
Okay, move it up.
The car goes in the truck.
Not you.
| Just the car.
All right, | you heard him, KITT.
I won't leave you here.
It's okay, pal.
| Trust me.
Easy for you to say.
Get in.
Now I want you | to turn it off.
It doesn't turn off.
Every computer has a master | switch, a circuit, somethin'.
Take it down, | turn it off, deactivate it.
Come on, man, | you've got the car.
I don't think | you really want to argue.
All right, KITT.
You heard him, | deactivate yourself.
You can't be serious, | MichaeI.
I know what I'm doing.
I'm | just trying to buy some time.
Turn yourself off.
I guess this is goodbye, | MichaeI.
Okay, Knight.
Let's find out how tough | you are without your car.
You and Gina are | going for a little ride.
Well, do you have anything | special in mind for us, or are we here | to admire the decor? You're gonna wait | for Mr.
Zachary.
He'll decide | what happens to you.
What's Zachary planning | to do with the laser? Some crystals and some | components that he needed are supposed to come in today | from overseas.
Once he's got them, | he's gonna leave the country.
Okay.
Sure glad that thing's | locked up secure back there.
Seemed to have a mind | of its own.
Devon, I can't reach them | on any frequency.
I don't understand.
Even if Michael is in | trouble, KITT should respond.
I'm afraid | we've lost them both.
Bring the car.
So, we meet at last, | Mr.
Long.
You've really awakened memories | of the past, haven't you? Memories of our | friend Tanya Walker.
Painful recollections, | I hope.
Ironic how quickly things | change, my dear, isn't it? I had such sweet plans | for you, such sweet dreams.
Now that's all | they'll ever be.
I'm going to make sure I hurt | you as much as you hurt Tanya.
I'm surprised | you'll have the time, since you're in such | a hurry to leave town.
What's in the suitcase? Precious laser crystals? Among the rarest in the world.
They'll be joined | by microchips from Japan and a titanium housing | from Canada to make the world's | first laser handgun.
The sale of which will make | me richer than most countries.
Sounds like you got the | whole thing planned out, huh.
Too bad it's not gonna work.
Oh, really? And what's gonna stop me? This! When Tanya shot me in | the face, I was unarmed.
It's a little different now, | isn't it, Zachary? No.
I still hold the cards.
Cameron, no! What's that? It does have a mind | of its own.
ApriI, Devon, are you there? KITT, where are you? | Where's Michael? Apparently he's | in danger, ApriI.
He's activated | the homing transmitter.
KITT, hurry.
I'm here, MichaeI.
I've never been so glad to find | out one of April's devices works.
My sentiments exactly, | MichaeI.
It was dreadfuI being | unable to speak or move.
We'll compare notes later.
Right now, we've got to | save Gina from Zachary.
MichaeI, | what are you planning to do? Zachary's apartment | is on the fourth floor.
We're going to pay him | a little surprise visit, pal.
Surely you Jest.
Here we go, pal! I hope it's the right | apartment, MichaeI.
Good grief! Michael, | I thought I'd lost you.
It's not that easy | getting rid of me.
Excuse me, | but I have one question.
Oh, yeah? What's that? How am I going to | get down from here? It's going to be strange | starting over after I testify.
The new identity | and everything.
Yeah, well, take it from me, it's | not so bad.
You'll get used to it.
I suppose with Cameron | out of the way, you can go back | to being the other Michael.
You know, I don't think I'd go back | to Michael Long even if I could.
I like Michael Knight.
And I'm proud to have the name | of a man who saved my life.
Well, I hope | I like myself as well.
Don't worry, you will.
I want you | to have something.
Thank you.
Hi, I'm Mighty Mouth.
| What's your name? I don't know yet.
| I'll tell you after the trial.
Good luck, hon.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Got a little surprise | for you there, pal.
I've had all the surprises I can handle for one day, | MichaeI.
I'd like to introduce | our new partner.
You know how I feeI about | that little monstrosity.
I'm Mighty Mouth.
| What's your name? Just where do you think | you're takin' me? MichaeI, I thought you said | we were leaving that nasty | little bear with Gina.
She doesn't need him anymore.
Let's buy him | a one-way ticket to paradise.
Oh, yeah? You and whose army? Goodbye, Mighty Mouth.
