Knight Rider (1982) s03e06 Episode Script

Oh, God! Stop! Freeze.
Hands in the air.
l know what you're thinking, | but it wasn't me.
Slow down! Mandy, l'm | barely touching the pedal! KARR was KITT's prototype with all of | KITT's capabilities.
I wouldn't move, Mr.
Miles.
A fortune in gold.
Goodbye, Michael Knight.
More power, KlTT! 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.
You know, back in the '50s a guy found some Spanish doubloons | near here after a big storm.
Yeah.
Well, l bet he retired to Tahiti.
Not only that but his girlfriend opened up | a new bikini shop.
No! John! No! No! Hold it.
Where- | To the sharks.
Get back.
Get back.
Get | back.
Get out of here.
Okay, okay.
Hello, Tahiti.
Hey, wait.
Hey! | Come here.
What is it? | Look at this thing.
Bye-bye, Tahiti.
Don't be so sure.
| This thing looks brand new.
John, this isn't Spanish | doubloons.
lt's somebody's car.
Come on, | let's go get the truck.
Wait, wait! | Come on.
Slow down.
Wait a minute.
Honking in a tunnel.
Really, Michael, | I fail to see the point.
KlTT, | it's an American tradition.
Like raising your hands | on a roller coaster.
Unsafe, unsound behavior, | if you ask me.
Now that you mention it, | l didn't.
KlTT, relax, will you? | lt's been a long trip, pal.
ln about an hour or so, you'll | be back home with Bonnie for a little tender | loving care.
My remote monitors | seem to be malfunctioning.
They look fine to me.
Contrary to popular belief, | looks aren't everything.
I'm picking up some very unusual | signals from up the coast.
Michael, someone is broadcasting | on our private carrier frequency.
Wait a minute.
That's not | supposed to be possible.
It must be a problem | in calibration.
That's what worries me.
That's not | supposed to be possible, either.
Okay, easy.
Come on! The clutch is burning out.
| Come on, a little bit more! All right.
The clutch! Wow.
How did that start? l don't know.
lt just did.
Whoa.
John! Man, you won't believe | this dash.
Mandy, l'm gonna | drive it into town.
John, what happens | if somebody comes back? Tell them | you're a hitchhiker.
Mandy, we're saving the car, | not stealing it.
Come on, get in.
| Okay.
Slow down! Mandy, l'm | barely touching the pedal! Voice command, | are you ready? l can't believe this.
You've got | the whole world at your fingertips.
Music.
l bet George Lucas drives | one of these things.
How we doing? You just asked me that.
We're getting closer.
The | signal is progressively stronger.
Good.
When we get close enough, l want | you to triangulate the source.
Convert the impulse | into a visual.
We should be close enough now.
All right, let's find out.
Okay, see if it's moving or not.
| Give me an overlay of the area.
It's moving.
l noticed.
You're worried, aren't you? lt's probably nothing, KlTT.
l just want to make sure.
Well, l'll see you tonight.
l have a political science | exam to study for.
Oh, yeah.
Explain Libya in | 25 words or less.
l forgot.
Don't do that.
| lt's important to me.
l know and l'm sorry.
John.
l'll turn the car in, | l promise.
Bye.
| See you.
Hey, radical car, dude.
Radical shorts.
Bye.
| Bye.
Music.
Michael, it's gone.
Plot us | an intersecting course.
l'm going to temporarily shut | down our signal just in case.
In case of what? ln case whatever it is, | is also tracking us.
Where were you when l was 17? l thought the days when a hot car | would make me feel good again were over.
Guess l was wrong.
l'm gonna hate to have to | give you up, slick.
Then don't.
Okay, what is this? A joke? Or a tape recorder? ls Allen Funt gonna pop up and say, | ''Smile, you're on Candid Camera''? Who's Allen Funt? Hey, what is this? You're a car, | and cars don't talk.
Correct, I am not a car.
I am the Knight Automated | Roving Robot the first in a bold | new experiment.
You may call me KARR.
Speech is actually the least | remarkable of my functions.
Get in.
Let me show you | what I can really do.
You're a bold new experiment, | huh? l think that's terrific.
Personally, l'm not | a bold new experiment.
l think you'd be happier | with somebody else.
John, the days of feeling good | aren't over.
Not for someone who still | dreams.
Not for someone like you.
Think of me as the genie | in the magic lamp.
What am l supposed to be, | Aladdin? If you choose.
As you can see, terrain | doesn't hamper my performance.
I am designed for virtually | every condition.
l don't believe it.
l don't believe any of this.
Forget belief systems.
Forget the perimeters of rational | thinking as it so smugly is called.
Feel, my friend.
Feel.
All right, let's try one more | time.
Go back to surveillance mode.
According to my projections the source should be here | within seconds, Michael.
Michael! | Got you, pal.
Let's go! Michael, that can't be KARR.
| We destroyed KARR two years ago.
Then who or what is that? But I saw him explode.
You saw him explode.
| l know.
All right, give me a visual | on the license plate.
Good idea.
So much for wishful thinking.
Hey, it's okay.
| You can slow down.
Come on, it's okay now.
They must have | picked up my sonar.
Damn! Oh, God! Stop! Where are the brakes? Manual override.
| Press Turbo Boost.
Are we clear to Turbo? The risk factor is too high.
Freeze.
Hands in the air.
l know what you're thinking, | but it wasn't me.
Check the license plate.
The | guy you're after is getting away.
Right.
Put the hands on the roof | of that car, now.
Thanks for the bail, Devon.
You know how KlTT hates | impound yards.
It's hard to believe | that KARR is back.
Yeah, he's back, all right.
And from what we've seen, | he looks meaner than ever.
l'm gonna need you and Bonnie | up here as soon as possible.
We leave within the hour.
| Oh, Michael? Yeah.
| Be careful.
I don't want any nose-to-nose | encounters with that machine until Bonnie's had a chance | to beef up KITT's weaponry.
KARR was KITT's prototype, designed | and built by Wilton Knight with all of KITT's | capabilities.
l got you.
KlTT, l want to reconstruct | the triangulation.
l want to find out where KARR came from | and, if possible, who's helping him.
Right away, Michael.
Tidepools at the beach, | Michael.
Give me a reading on these | tracks, will you, pal? Right away.
The tread configuration is | virtually identical to mine, Michael.
It must be KARR's.
I'm also picking up a heavy | vehicle having traction problems.
lt's like somebody tried | to raise KARR with a four-wheeler | or a tow truck.
Affirmative.
You know, after two years in the salt | water, he's got to be draining some fluids.
Anything on the surface? There are faint signs | of turbine fuel.
Good.
Let's see where they go.
Okay, that's it.
| You said no cops.
You can stay here tonight, | then you're on your own.
I don't understand.
| I thought we were friends.
My circuitry needs repairs, and | I want to alter my appearance.
I can reward you handsomely | for your help.
No, thanks.
Oh, no hard feelings though.
| lt was fun.
For a while there, | l felt like l was a kid again.
l felt like a l felt like a | teenager with the hottest car in town.
Trouble is l'm not | a teenager anymore.
Got responsibilities.
l got plans.
Got a job.
You repair boats | for $4 an hour.
You weren't complaining back there | on the beach when l towed you out.
Nor am I complaining now.
Just | pointing out what should be obvious.
And what is that? You need me.
I meant what I said earlier.
You may not be Aladdin, | but I am the genie.
I can make all your dreams | come true.
Thanks, anyway.
As you wish.
You in the habit of | leaving trucks at the beach? What? You want your own business | one of these days you can't be leaving trucks | at the beach.
Where's your brains, kid? l can't believe it.
l'm sorry, Eddie.
Things | just been a little weird for me lately.
Hey, how was the doctor? l don't know.
| l didn't ask him.
Funny.
You gonna live? Only my batteries | know for sure.
lf l die tomorrow, and this place | goes into probate, you'll never get it.
$10,000 down | and it's yours today.
Eddie, I don't have that kind | of money and you know it.
A pacemaker.
Well, well, well.
This is it, Michael.
The trail's becoming too faint to | follow, but it appears KARR paused here.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
All right, | go to full surveillance, pal.
I'm looking for | a black T-top that was in | the area yesterday.
Did you happen to see | a car like that? l don't | l don't think so.
No.
lf you did, l need to know.
Look, it's not | just another car.
lt's very important.
lt's | potentially very dangerous.
Look, if it makes any difference, | this can be confidential.
l'm sorry, | l haven't seen anything.
Dorothy, is that you? No, it's me.
Hi.
Hi.
l'll just | l'll just be a minute.
l really don't have | anything more to say.
All right.
You can reach me at this | number in case the car turns up.
Or in case you happen | to remember something.
What was all that about? That black car.
You promised me that you | were gonna turn it in.
l said l wasn't gonna | keep it.
All l did was take it for a little ride.
| Quit making such a big deal about it.
lt's over.
Endless Summer.
John? Who's this? Yeah.
Right away.
lt's the hospital.
| Eddie just had a heart attack.
l can have KlTT back from the | Foundation by this time tomorrow.
Twenty-four hours we don't have | to install a laser that won't work.
Now, l'm sorry, Bonnie.
No.
We tried the laser last time | KARR got loose.
l've been working on some modifications.
| l can double its penetration.
Michael, what choice | do we have? l can't risk sending you and KlTT | out without some kind of an edge.
l appreciate your concern, | l really do.
But l had KlTT trace the salt water | damage to KARR's Alpha circuits.
lf he gets those parts and he repairs them, | it's only going to be a matter of hours before his other systems | are up to full strength.
So, while we're experimenting | with modified lasers here he will be making himself fully | operational.
We cannot let that happen.
Look, if ever we needed to | act as a team, it's right now.
You go back in the Foundation, you | finish the laser, and you bring it back.
As soon as you call, l'll | bring KlTT in for installation.
Until then, | l gotta keep the pressure on.
Bonnie.
Any leads on | the human factor? No, not yet.
But l had KlTT | generate a list of all the outlets for the components | KARR will be needing.
l'll alert local | law enforcement.
Michael, do what you need | to do, but please be careful.
Right.
lf anything happens | to KlTT Love you, too.
Eddie, come on, | is that all he said? l mean, you almost die | and all they can say is ''l'm sorry, but the battery | in your pacemaker went bad''? ''Unexplained malfunction.
'' | That's what they said.
Kind of makes you think.
Makes you realize just how | many things you've never done.
l'm getting out, John.
Everything | l got's for sale as of now.
You want the shop, you got it.
| The deal of your lifetime.
$5,000 down, interest-only payments | for Till you get on your feet.
Eddie, l'm broke.
l mean, you keep talking to me | like l got money.
lf l had the money, | you'd have a deal.
l just hate to see you let this | one slip through your fingers.
Think about it.
Maybe something will turn up.
Hello, John.
Why don't you get in? | Just for old times' sake.
We don't have | any old times.
Get lost.
I'm a computer.
| I can't get lost.
But if you come on | a little errand with me I'll get you the $5,000 | you need.
You were listening? | Why not? Interested? | No.
Liar.
Get in.
What have you got to lose? $4 an | hour won't buy much of a future.
For the first time in your | life, do something for you.
The time is now.
Don't wait.
Last chance, Aladdin.
Awfully quiet.
lt's too quiet.
You're doing everything | you can, Michael.
All KARR's possible targets | have double security tonight.
In the event of a break-in, | we'll be notified immediately.
All right, let's raise Devon.
Good news, Michael.
Bonnie has mobilized every | technician at the Foundation.
The laser is complete.
| We're on our way back.
Terrific.
Give my regards | to Bonnie, will you? Anything at your end? Well, if no news is good news, | we're doing fine.
But between you and me, | l don't feel very reassured.
You'll be more efficient | if you relax.
And more comfortable.
Relax, right? Press Turbo Boost.
Press it.
Good God! KlTT, roll the tape on | all video units.
Get this signal | straightened out, will you? Get me patched in.
I'm doing what I can, Michael.
| The feed is disrupted.
All right, full pursuit | to semi.
Go for it! Unless you want to be pressed | right into the diesel block I wouldn't move, Mr.
Miles.
And what's this? A laser.
Intended for me, no doubt.
I came for Alpha capacitors.
What an unexpected surprise.
l've got it.
| All right.
See who our mystery guest is.
lt's him.
Would you care to be a little | more specific? l wish l could.
l may not know his name, but | l think l know how to find him.
Michael.
KlTT! Move to the cash computer, | and I'll do the rest.
When it comes right down | to it, l don't like this.
Go to the window, John.
| Let the magic begin.
Please enter your nine-digit | secret code your date of birth, | and your mother's maiden name.
Go ahead.
| Maybe you'll have better luck.
They punish you.
Pardon me? The older you are, | the harder they make it.
Oh, my! | You're very good at this.
l thought they only | gave out $100.
l guess | it's a new policy.
My goodness! They certainly don't | resent you, do they? Here you go.
| Oh, no, it's not mine.
lt's yours.
Just think of it as a gift | from the age of technology.
Gesture of respect.
You know, | l wish you would have called.
You would have saved a whole lot | of people a whole lot of grief.
What are you doing charging | in like this? Where is he? Who? | Your boyfriend.
The guy who slipped out the | back when l was here yesterday.
What do you want with him? Mandy, | he's got the T-top l'm looking for.
You know it and l know it.
Look, if you're trying to protect him, | he doesn't need protection.
He needs help.
Now, what's his name? | Where is he? l have never seen so many people | so crazy about a car before.
lt's not just another car.
Among other things, it has | a way of changing people.
Look, l'm not a cop.
l'm not | going to put anybody in jail.
Right.
l'll give it to you straight.
Your | boyfriend's in way over his head.
As a matter of fact, | he's drowning.
And you're just about the only person | on this earth who can save him right now.
Don't let him know | l told you, okay? Michael, he doesn't trust | a lot of people.
l mean, he didn't mean | to steal the car.
He Just promise me | nothing will happen to him.
l'll do my best, | l promise you that.
His His name is John Stanton.
He works at Mr.
D's Marina | on the Seaside Road.
Thank you.
60, 80, $5,000.
| You want to count it yourself? l just did.
How long we gonna | carry on this charade? What charade? l get out of the hospital, l | come back to pay a few bills.
Next thing l know you're | driving this hot new car buying me out in $20 bills | you got in a shopping bag.
l been around.
l made some fast money myself.
Now, who's kidding who? Take my word for it, Eddie you don't want to know.
l want to know.
All right.
Go ahead, say something.
How's the pacemaker, Eddie? Do me a favor, | will you, Bonnie? The high-tensile reflectors | you developed for KlTT they still around? Yes, I have them.
Oh, no.
Michael, you're not thinking what | I think you're thinking, are you? Pull them out of mothballs, | will you? Can't discuss it right now.
| l'll see you when l see you.
But Michael, I l tell you, | it's a fortune in gold.
My ex-brother-in-law | drives the armored truck.
He says between three | and five million each trip.
Each Wednesday.
Today is Wednesday.
Attaboy, KARR.
Attaboy.
Don't call me ''boy''.
l can't believe this.
Eddie, you're talking about armed robbery.
| They put people in prison for that.
They gotta catch us first.
Hey, kid, everybody's got to | roll the dice sooner or later.
The difference between winners | and losers is timing.
l've been waiting a long time | for the right timing.
lt's here.
Today.
There's only one problem.
I have no interest in gold.
| That's a uniquely human foible.
Maybe l didn't make | myself clear.
Gold is money.
And whether you realize it | or not, you need money.
You're gonna need parts.
A technician to keep you | in top shape.
A safe place to hide out.
All that takes lots of money.
Interesting point, Eddie.
I hadn't | thought of it in quite that way.
Hey, where do you think | you're going? lt doesn't matter.
l'm not staying | here.
l don't want any part of this.
Let him go.
Let him go? Who's gonna drive you? | Who's gonna handle all this? Don't worry, | I'll take care of it.
Yeah? Then we got a deal? Fifty-fifty? | We have a deal, Eddie.
There it is, KlTT.
| They inside? In the back garage, Michael, | KARR and one person.
What are we going to do? Not ''we,'' buddy.
''Me.
'' lf l take you any closer, | KARR will scan you.
l'm banking on the fact that his | surveillance mode may not have full range yet.
Michael, surely you're not thinking | of going up against that monster alone.
I'm your only protection.
Wait a minute, KlTT.
What about | John? l'm his only protection.
l can't just leave him | in there.
One way or another, l gotta | get him away from KARR.
Michael, to put it mildly, | it's a long shot.
Yeah.
Well, it beats no shot at all.
We're gonna be millionaires.
Silence.
We have an intruder.
KlTT! Damn! The time | isn't right yet.
But when next we meet, | you won't escape.
Michael, are you all right? | l'm fine.
Hey, what do you think | you're doing? All right, l want answers and l want | answers fast.
Where was that car going? Did you fix it? | Where's John Stanton? l had nothing to do with it.
The Santa Cruz Canyon Bridge.
They're hitting an armored van | this afternoon.
All right, if you're lying, | l'll find you.
Endless Summer.
| Mandy, it's me.
John, where are you? I can't talk now.
Meet me | at the pier in five minutes.
John? Quick.
Get in.
Let me out of here! Stop struggling, | you foolish girl.
What are you doing? | Where's John? I'm afraid | he couldn't make it.
John.
John? Mandy? The garage.
| Come here, quick.
Oh, no.
No way.
Before you run off, there's | something you ought to see.
Let her go! What is this? | You don't need her! No.
I need you.
You wanted to desert me.
Abandon me, just like those | people at that pompous Foundation.
How would you like me to slowly remove | the air from the passenger compartment? Have you ever seen someone | explode in a vacuum? No, I have a better idea.
Stop it! Let her go! Let her go! Okay, stop it.
| Whatever you want.
l'm so sorry.
l didn't know.
Very touching.
Get in.
Michael, it's been 12 hours | since KARR hit the semi.
We'd better assume all his | functions are at full strength.
Not to mention Bonnie's | modified laser.
That's not the only thing | l'm assuming, KlTT.
You know, l think this whole thing | may be a trap KARR's arranged.
l mean, think about it.
lt's not like him to leave | evidence or witnesses around.
That's a rather disconcerting | thought, Michael.
Took the words | right out of my mouth.
Here we are.
But Michael, l doubled the | power of the laser KARR took.
Do you got a better idea? With a little more time, l'm sure | we can come up with something.
Time is the operative word | here.
We don't have any.
Listen to reason.
KlTT is not prepared | to do battle with KARR.
l've got the information that's | gonna give me one showdown with KARR.
l'm lucky to have that.
lf we miss this chance, | we may not get another one.
Well, in my opinion, | it's nothing short of suicide.
Devon, l really admire you, | you know? l admire your maturity, your | wisdom, your sense of proportion.
l even like your tie.
But l'm telling you KlTT and l are going out of here in three | minutes with or without those reflectors or your blessing.
Go to work.
May I present | our preliminary target? Let us begin.
I've established | our point of impact.
The bridge is old and weak.
What does he mean? He means we're going to | crash into it, if l know him.
I suggest you fasten | your seatbelts.
It shouldn't be long.
Sliding into the back.
Why don't you finish | your job? You got them | where you want them.
You don't even begin | to understand what the job is.
lt's the armored car.
No.
That's the decoy.
Lo and behold, here comes the | real target to the rescue just as I planned.
Michael, there's KARR.
What's he waiting for? Unless l'm mistaken, us.
I detect our laser mounted | under his scanner, Michael.
I wish you'd reconsider | Devon's warning.
Hang in there, buddy.
| We're not dead yet.
KARR, let them go.
We're here.
| We're what you want.
Your impudence is amusing.
You're in no position | to make demands.
Think about it, huh? Mandy's not what you want.
| Neither is John.
I am.
You're never gonna be free | until you defeat us.
Good.
I accept your challenge.
That was close.
Yeah, yeah, l want it to | be close.
Are you ready? If this plan of yours fails, I want you | to know, it's been a beautiful partnership.
The feeling is mutual, pal.
| The feeling is mutual.
Very well.
If you insist on a game of dodging, | perhaps this will change your mind.
Michael, the men | in the armored car.
Let's get over there, buddy.
| But, Michael Do it! You all right? I can't take | another blow like that.
All right, prepare | the high-tensile reflectors.
lf we can find the right angle, | we're going to shatter that laser.
Goodbye, Michael Knight.
Now! All right, pal, | it's now or never.
He's vulnerable head-on.
If I am destroyed so shall you be.
More power, KlTT! All right, KlTT! | We did it! KlTT? KlTT, you all right? Come on, buddy, you all right? Can you hear me? KlTT? If I say yes, | will you promise we'll never have | to do that again? Never say never, partner.
Never say never.
Come on, what is it? l promised not to tell.
| Promised who? What's the matter? | Don't you like surprises? No, l hate them.
They make me nervous.
| Relax.
There it is.
| Check it out.
John's Marine? The reward money just about equaled | what you gave back to the bank.
What reward money? For information leading | to the recovery of KARR.
The Foundation posted it | a couple years ago.
Mandy says this is | how you wanted it invested.
Better watch out, man.
She's | already spending your money.
Thank you, Michael.
| You're welcome.
Take care.
Bye.
| Thank you.
Michael.
What is this I hear about | a $5,000 reward? Don't worry, Devon, | it's for a very good cause.
What good cause? I demand an explanation.
When l think one up, | you'll be the first to know.
