Knight Rider (1982) s03e10 Episode Script

When l saw him today, he shot | past me like l was a stranger.
What else | could be affected? His memory modules, | information banks.
Losing one's memory | is so embarrassing.
You see, there's this guy | looking for you named Michael.
He says you're his.
What does he look like? KlTT? We're coming to the edge.
Turbo Boost.
Press.
KlTT! Move, or I refuse | to be responsible.
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, KlTT, sometimes | l feel a little guilty.
Why is that, Michael? Well, here we are on our way to | the beach, a full afternoon off.
Bonnie and Devon are going to | watch a building being leveled.
If you feel so guilty, why didn't you | accept Devon's invitation to go with them? Guilty, yes.
Crazy, no.
Normally, a building | this size would require more than 1,000 pounds | of dynamite to bring down.
However, with the development | of our new XPL nitro-plastique we can accomplish the same job | with just six of these packets weighing a total of 30 ounces.
Today, we are fortunate enough | to be joined by Mr.
Devon Miles of The Foundation | for Law and Government.
You're on.
| So l am.
Thank you, | ladies and gentlemen.
In today's world something as powerful as nitro-plastique | isn't simply an explosive.
In the wrong hands, | it's a weapon.
We at the Foundation | welcome the opportunity to work with private industry toward | developing adequate safeguards.
Thank you, | ladies and gentlemen.
lt's all yours, Ms.
Jordon.
And now for the event | we've all been waiting for.
lt's 15 seconds | to detonation.
Bobby, this better work.
| lt'll work.
Five, four, three two, one.
Don't even think it.
| Drop the belts now! Drop them! Get out of there.
Right there.
How do we know it's the stuff? | lt's the stuff.
Let's go.
You got two choices: Stay put | or kiss the holidays goodbye.
Devon's calling.
Yo, Devon.
Michael, the demolition site | has just been robbed.
Two men made off with a | quantity of that new explosive.
The police are in pursuit, but | if you're anywhere in the area I would like you to assist | in any way possible.
All right, | what am l looking for? A red wagon with ''Bob's | Plumbing Supply'' on the side.
Did you get a make on | the plate? Incomplete.
Only the first three digits, | I'm afraid.
: 187.
KlTT, pick up the police frequency | and plot an intercept course, will you? Right away, Michael.
Okay, Devon, l'll be in touch.
Oh, yes, and thanks | for the afternoon off.
You know | why l like you, Julius? Because next to you even | l look good.
A comedian.
You're too good for this line of work.
| You belong on Saturday Night Live.
How are we doing, KlTT? I have the target vehicle's location, | direction, and approximate speed.
That's heading into the | Kirkland Dam area.
Correct.
All right, we'll go as far as Temple Road.
| We'll try to intercept at Needles Ridge.
Michael, my monitor.
| l see them, pal.
l see them.
Behind us.
What is it? A cop? No, some joker in a black | T- top.
Let's dust him.
KlTT, this guy's really cooking.
| Let's see what we're dealing with here.
They appear to be | burning something more than your average | unleaded premium, Michael.
The emissions indicate | nitrous oxide.
That's okay.
Let's show them | what high octane is all about.
l thought you said nothing on | the street could touch this thing.
Maybe he's not | just a joker after all.
Come on, Bobby.
Do something | and drop this guy.
You know, if this doesn't stop | him, you gotta pull over and put your hands up, pal, | because the man is holy.
KlTT? You all right, buddy? KlTT, say something to me, | will you? I am Knight Industries I am a I Would you please | repeat the question? KlTT.
All right.
l'll come back | for you.
You stay right here.
| l'll be right back.
KlTT? KlTT? KlTT? He made us.
He made us! | Bobby, it's a kid.
What are you doing, Bobby? He's gotta be | around here somewhere.
Yeah, but where? | He's like a jackrabbit.
Let's forget it.
| lt's only a kid.
You say that like kids don't | count, like kids can't testify.
Bobby, don't be crazy.
You can't go around killing people | because of what they might've seen.
Relax, okay? Be calm.
| You're too hyper.
l'm warning you, Mr.
Knight.
You're | leaving against medical advice.
Nurse Gilmore, l appreciate all | you've done, but, really, l am fine.
lf you're so fine, why were | you found half unconscious babbling something about your | car driving off by itself? Thanks you so much.
You are | a credit to your profession.
Well, l see you've been discharged.
| ''Discharged''? ''Escaped'' is more like it.
What about KlTT? Any luck? | l'm afraid not, Michael.
The voltage surge must have | knocked out his homing device.
Don't be surprised | if that's not all.
What else could be affected? His memory modules, | information banks.
Michael, how could you? | He's out there damaged, alone.
Bonnie, give me a break.
l took | a pretty good shot, too, remember? Look, l didn't lose him | on purpose.
Now, l'm convinced he's out | there somewhere in the hills.
l'm gonna need a vehicle, | a four-wheel drive.
Michael, we're doing everything | possible to find KlTT but at the moment, our top priority | is locating the stolen nitro-plastique.
Enough was taken | to level this entire city.
Maybe that's your top priority, | but mine's finding KlTT.
Let the police | look for the explosives.
Look, under other circumstances, | l would agree with you.
l would tell you, ''Go out.
Find | KlTT.
Don't come back until you do.
'' But this is different.
| This is an order.
Yes? Oh, l see.
Good.
The Foundation helicopter has | located the wagon, abandoned.
Let go of me! l didn't do | anything! Get your hands off me! Easy, l'm not | gonna hurt you.
Then let go of me! l didn't do anything | - All right, slow down.
There's nothing | to be afraid of.
Afraid of you? l'm sure.
| Why did you run? Because l thought | you were the game warden.
He's always trying to bust me | for fishing in the reservoir.
l'm not the game warden, okay? | My name is Michael Knight.
l work for The Foundation | for Law and Government.
l get it.
A cop.
No, l'm | not a cop, not even close.
What's your name? Doug.
Why? lt's good to meet you, | Doug.
You play ball? Yeah.
''WW,'' is that the name of your team? | Wainwright Warriors.
l play shortstop.
No kidding.
| l used to play first base.
Yeah, must have been | a long time ago.
Yeah, there were dinosaurs | in the outfield.
Doug, what do you know | about the wagon over there? Well, l didn't rip it off, | if that's what you mean.
The speakers are thrashed, | but the tape deck's all right.
l was just hoping you saw the | two guys who left it there.
l didn't see anybody.
| You're sure? Yeah, what is this? l thought | you said you weren't a cop.
lf you did see them, | you'd tell me, wouldn't you? These aren't the kind of guys | you wanna protect.
Look, l'm not protecting | anybody.
l gotta go.
l guess you didn't see a | black T-top, either, did you? No.
Look, if you're finished with the | interrogation, l've got better things to do.
Thanks for your help.
Who's in there? Look, where did you come from? Look, l don't like anybody | tailing me, so bug off! Help me.
KlTT's more than | my partner, Devon.
Come on.
He's a friend.
You gotta | let me go out and look for him.
Not until we find | the nitro-plastique.
We don't even know what these | guys are driving anymore who they are, why they're | here, what they want.
ln spite of the fact | that they've switched cars we have reason to believe that | they're still in the Kirkland area.
Show him, Bonnie.
Do you recognize him? | No, should l? His name is Conrad Marrs.
He's one of the premier | explosives men in the business.
So? So he flew in from | Dallas this morning.
Of course, it may be a coincidence, | Michael, but if you believe that stay away from people selling bridges | in Brooklyn or swampland in Florida.
Thanks for the advice.
| Any idea where he's staying? That's what we're trying | to find out now.
Michael, have you any leads? | l mean, anything at all? No.
Well, not really.
What? l'm not sure.
lt's | just a feeling l have.
l ran into this kid | up near the abandoned wagon.
Now, he said he was scared because | he thought l was the game warden.
Well, he was scared, all right, | but it wasn't for that reason.
Do you think he might've seen | the thieves? l'm not sure.
The more l think about it, | the more convinced l am he saw something.
Well, you'll be | safe here for a while.
lf anybody comes, all you have | to do is just back into the cave.
Good idea.
I'm sorry | I frightened you earlier.
You didn't scare me.
Under normal circumstances, I | would've introduced myself first but I'm afraid these aren't | exactly normal circumstances.
You can say that again.
I could, | yes, but is there any need to? No.
No, that's not | what l mean.
Forget it.
A talking car, if that's not | a mind blower I seem to recall I can do | a lot of other things, too.
If I could only remember what they | are.
What do you do for instance? For instance, well, if l don't feel | like going to school, l just split.
But how do you learn anything | if you split school? l don't learn anything in school, anyway, | not about real life.
So tell me something.
Do you always just follow behind | people, or does someone get inside? Let's find out.
Wow! Look at this dashboard! Your own TV, all these buttons.
| What are all these buttons for? ''Pursuit, Scanner, | X- ray, lnfra-ray.
'' ''Turbo Boost''? | Don't touch Turbo Boost.
Something tells me you | shouldn't touch Turbo Boost.
How about ''Eject''? ''Right'' | and ''Left''? I don't recall.
Well, there's just one way | to find out, isn't there? Wow, it's like a rocket! It is rather remarkable, isn't it? Yeah.
l'm impressed.
l know guys who've been in | the business for 20 years and even they can't get | their hands on this stuff.
Well, we're not exactly | amateurs, pal.
Good.
Then l'll give you a real | professional explosion, a symphony.
Yeah, well, just don't get | carried away, all right? All we need is a nice, | civil emergency.
Just enough to knock out the power, and | draw the police, fire, and emergency units.
And while they're going crazy trying | to handle the traffic, the evacuation and 1,000 haywire alarms, | we hit the museum.
$15 mill worth | of pre-Columbian artifacts.
Well, the dam's no problem.
Your basic earth-fill with | concrete and steel reinforcement.
This quadrant here | ought to do it.
lt should create a spill of | about 900 million gallons weaken the rest of the dam | enough to worry them.
All right, then.
We're set for | tomorrow? l'll need an hour's notice.
You know | where to reach me.
By the way, did you happen to | see a kid on the way up here? What kid? Well, when we ditched the car, | this kid saw us.
Are you telling me somebody | made you? No.
Not exactly.
l thought you told me | you weren't amateurs.
You know why l'm the best? | lt's because l'm careful.
We'll find the kid.
By morning, or l'm gone.
| Believe it.
l don't believe you, Bobby.
We got this guy in our pocket, and you | ask him if he saw a kid on the way up.
So now we gotta find the kid! That's all.
| We should've done it, anyway.
lt's cleaner.
Help you? | Yeah, l hope so.
l'm looking for the sponsor of | a youth-league baseball team.
Sorry, we've already got one.
| ln first place, too.
Wainwright Warriors? | That's right.
l'm looking for a boy named Doug.
| He plays shortstop.
Do you know him? He's my son, Doug Wainwright.
No kidding.
Look, l need | to talk to him.
ls he here? Just what's this | all about, anyway? No, it's all right, Jim.
Why don't | you help that customer over there? All right, what's he done | this time? Who are you? My name is Michael Knight.
l work for | The Foundation for Law and Government.
We're trying to locate | some stolen explosives and we think your boy | may have seen something.
Can you tell me | how l can find him? Well, he's probably | in the hills.
He and his father used to hike | up there, and they found a cave.
He's been spending | a lot of time there lately.
Would you mind giving me | directions? lt's very important.
Well, l think l better | draw you a map.
Hope you can draw | better than l do.
Is something wrong? No, l just | gotta get home.
That's all.
What's ''home''? That's a place where l don't know.
Where you go when | there's no place else to go.
''Home'' doesn't sound like | much fun.
No, it used to be.
What happened? Well, you see, my dad got real | sick.
Everyone said he'd be okay.
Forget it.
So you gonna be okay or what? | I'll be fine.
And I think my memory | is improving.
Well, good.
l'll be back tonight, late, | when everyone else is asleep.
That sounds like fun.
| Goodbye, Elliot.
Doug.
My name's Doug.
Then who's Elliot? | How do l know? l thought your memory | was getting better.
Yes, well, at least | it's not getting any worse.
Julius, there he is.
We'll cut him off.
KlTT, they're after me! Who? | Those two guys.
Get in.
Can you drive? | Are you kidding? l can drive anything on | wheels.
Where's the ignition? On second thought, there are still | a few things I remember.
Hold on.
KlTT! Wow! That's him in the black T-top.
KlTT! KlTT! We're coming to the edge.
| I noticed.
What are we going to do? | Why are you asking me? Turbo Boost, I remember.
But you told me | to never to press Turbo Boost.
I've changed my mind.
Press! Did you see that? l'd swear that's the same | idiot who chased us before.
KlTT, it's me Michael.
| You hear me? KlTT? KlTT? KlTT, it's me, Michael! KlTT! I have the strangest feeling.
l know.
That you've | done this before, too? I have that awareness also.
| This is different.
I have the strangest feeling | someone is calling my name.
Don't worry, KlTT.
l'm gonna | hide you in a safe place.
What's this? No way! All right! l didn't know they made cars | like this.
I'm not sure they do.
KlTT, you are radical.
| If you say so.
What's this? How hungry are you? | What? Not very.
Your mother went to a lot | of trouble to fix this.
lt's all right.
Oh, no.
l wonder who that | could be.
l'll get it.
Hi, l hope l'm not | interrupting dinner.
You are.
Well, in that case, | l apologize.
Doug home? Just what do you want with him? l'd | like to ask him a couple of questions.
Lori's husband died | just little over a year ago.
She's been through a lot, and l'm here | to see no one takes advantage of her.
l appreciate your concern, but | maybe l didn't make myself clear.
l'm not here to see Lori.
| l'm here to see Doug.
l've got my eye on you.
Okay, ask away.
Doug, before we start, l'm | sorry it has to be this way.
What's that supposed to mean? lt means it's tough enough | person to person.
But the men l'm looking for, l | think you saw them this afternoon.
They were chasing you, | and you were in a black T-top.
Now, wait just a minute.
The | kid's 14.
He can't even drive.
l can, too.
Look, | what do you know, anyway? Don't yell at me.
| l'm trying to protect you.
Jim, please.
You satisfied? Trying to have a | nice, quiet family dinner here and, thanks to you, people | are yelling at each other.
Yeah, well, it's not a family dinner | 'cause you're not part of the family.
l'm sorry.
Ever since | his father died l'm sorry about that, | but l had to ask.
Just take it easy, | will you? Yeah, right.
We know where Conrad Marrs | is staying.
That's all? An address? What would | you prefer? An arrest warrant? A grand jury indictment? Now | that you mention it, yeah.
l mean, why not something | tangible for a change? Because the police still | consider that Marrs is clean.
lnnocent until | proven guilty and all that.
Well, that rings a bell.
What am l | supposed to do? Take him out to dinner? l leave the details to you.
Now, we know | that Marrs is an extremely cautious man.
lf he decides to bail out, this | whole operation could collapse.
Any luck with the boy? | Doug? l'm sure he's lying.
l tell you one | thing.
He was the one in KlTT, all right.
ln that case, l'd recommend | a stakeout.
Next on my list.
Whatever that boy's | got in mind he's gonna wait until the house | is asleep before he leaves.
Now, l figure l got | a couple of hours yet.
l know the Foundation | commitments come first but l'm telling you.
| l am worried about KlTT.
When l saw him today, he shot | past me like l was a stranger.
You were.
Excuse me.
| By all means.
Perhaps you can make him understand.
| l'm a scientist, not a miracle worker.
For you.
Don't tell me.
| This is KlTT's new memory.
Absolutely.
New and improved with | 5,000 megabits of added information.
The only problem will be to get close | enough to his CPU service port to install it.
Sounds Freudian.
Where's that? Facing KlTT, it's eight inches left | of the power shift on the transmission.
ln other words, under KlTT.
ln other words, but don't worry.
Some of | us spend a lot of time working under KlTT.
Not when he doesn't know | who you are.
Honey, hurry up.
lt's here.
Hi.
Hi.
Where do l sign? | Where do you wanna sign? For the champagne.
Aren't | you from the liquor store? No, not exactly.
| l'm here to see Conrad.
He's taking a shower.
You mind if l wait? | Angel, you got a problem? l tell you what.
Let's have a little fun | with him.
Tell him l need his signature.
He won't get mad? Connie? | Come on.
He's a real fun guy.
Come on.
Okay.
Honey, he says he needs | your signature.
Hello, Conrad.
| Who is this guy? He's a friend of yours.
| Aren't you? Where are they? l don't know | what you're talking about.
You're in my room, cowboy.
| Get out.
There are two of them.
They stole some experimental | explosives called nitro-plastique.
They run around town in a supercharged | four-wheel drive.
And they hired you.
l'm not for hire.
l'm on vacation, | and you're still in my room.
Do yourself a favor.
Go home.
Think before you swing.
Who are you? Just a guy | who knows who you are.
Be careful 'cause somebody's | watching you.
l thought he was a friend | of yours.
Pack my stuff.
Doug? Doug? So who do you think he is? | Who? The guy who chased Conrad | out of town.
l don't know.
We don't need Conrad now that | he's told us all we gotta know.
l just hope we can | find that kid.
This place sponsors the team.
The kid's | got a jacket.
The kid's on the team.
Julius.
| What? You won't believe this.
| lt's him.
lt's the kid.
Where? | Right over there.
KlTT, don't be scared.
lt's | just me, Doug.
Hello, Doug.
Hi, KlTT.
| How you doing? Okay? I've been thinking about what | you said, Doug, about home.
Yeah, what about it? | Do I have one? Well, l was gonna | tell you, anyway.
You see, there's this guy | looking for you named Michael.
He says you're his.
| Really? What does he look like? l don't know.
He's older.
| Kind of tall.
l guess he's all right.
He was | looking for you around the dam.
What's a ''dam''? You | don't know what a dam is? l keep forgetting | about your memory.
A dam is a big thing that holds | water.
I thought that was a bathtub.
Well, it's a little bigger | than a bathtub.
Losing one's memory | is so embarrassing.
KlTT? KlTT, it's me, Michael.
How are you doing, buddy? | l've been worried about you.
Do we know each other? Know each other? Butch know | Sundance? Smith know Wesson? Abbott know Costello? I'd prefer it if you'd kindly | keep your hands to yourself.
Look, we don't have the time, pal.
| Doug's been kidnapped.
He needs us.
Please remove yourself | from my path.
No.
Stay away from me.
| Sorry, pal.
I'll be forced to push | you aside.
Go ahead.
Your dominant program is the | preservation of human life.
What's a ''dominant program''? Don't run over my leg, KlTT.
| Don't say I didn't warn you.
Don't run over my leg.
Move, | or I refuse to be responsible.
KlTT? | Michael, is that you? Yeah, it's me, pal.
| Welcome back.
If I may be so bold, what on | earth were you doing down there? l'll explain later.
Right now, | we've gotta try and save Doug.
Doug's my new friend.
Where | is he? He was kidnapped.
Kidnapped? Access your audio banks.
| See if you picked up anything.
Good idea.
I think I may have something.
This place sponsors the team.
| The kid's got a jacket.
Fast forward.
Right there.
No, Julius, this time you listen to | me.
If we do it here, it's murder but if we take him up to the dam, | and the dam mysteriously explodes he's just part | of the natural disaster.
Michael, they're talking | about Doug.
l'm afraid so, pal.
Let's go.
So long, kid.
lf you ever pass | over Saint Louis, make sure to wave.
Okay? Help me.
All right, KlTT, | let's scan the area for the four-wheeler for Doug or any activity | or any movement.
Michael.
| Good work, KlTT.
Michael, my monitor.
| The nitro-plastique.
How much time is left on the | timer? Just under 30 seconds.
Can we disarm it from here? | I don't think so.
All right, then let's stop the clock.
| Full power to the microwave jammer.
Let's get out of here.
Jump in.
How'd we do, KlTT? | It's in clock heaven.
Hi, KlTT.
| Hello, Doug.
All right, now for our friends | in the four-wheeler.
Four-wheeler heaven? | No, it's too good for them.
l was thinking more | about jail.
Hang on.
All right, KlTT, shall we put | these turkeys away? I thought you'd never ask.
Doug, you wanna do the honors? | Press Turbo Boost.
Okay.
One, two, three.
Go ahead.
l don't know.
ls it legal? You're a citizen, aren't | you? Yeah, l guess.
Go ahead.
This is Doug Wainwright, and | l'm making a citizen's arrest.
All right.
He's back | to his old self again.
He even offered to do the dishes | this morning.
l was shocked.
l wouldn't count on it.
No, l've been a mother too long.
Don't | worry.
But it's nice.
lt felt good.
He is really gonna miss you, | you and KlTT.
Well, not for too long.
According to KlTT, he promised | to stop back real soon.
You know, l've been doing a lot | of thinking about Doug, about Jim.
l think it's still | too soon.
l think Doug needs more than l can | give him with another man around.
Come here.
Bye.
| Bye.
Thanks.
| lt's okay.
Sorry, partner.
Got to go.
Just a minute, Michael.
Doug was going to let me | do a project for him.
KlTT, never mind.
| No, it's all right.
He calls it | ''homework, '' Michael.
He wanted to see | how fast I could do it.
Well, it was worth a shot.
l was just telling KlTT maybe l'd start | going to school a little more often.
Take care of yourself, pal.
| Okay.
Don't forget to come by.
I'll see | he doesn't forget, Doug.
Now that I've got my memory | back, you can count on me.
Straight ahead, pal.
