Knight Rider (1982) s04e12 Episode Script

Knight Rider a shadowy flight into the | dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
Michael Knight, | a young Ioner on a crusade to champion | the cause of the innocent the helpless, the powerless in a world of criminals | who operate above the law.
Morning, Dr.
Hanson.
I'm sorry, I've got | to check your ID card.
Now, let's move.
| Stay on schedule.
We'll have a safe 10 minutes.
Michael, I've just received an alarm | from the Government Data Center.
Punching in.
All right, Devon, | I'm on my way.
What about | local police response? Nothing immediate.
It would take local | authorities over 12 minutes.
All right, let's get there, buddy.
| Plot me the most direct course.
Super Pursuit Mode.
All right, keep your scanners | peeled and button up.
I'll try and keep them inside | till backup appears.
Right, Michael.
Michael! Finish him! Let's move.
This is an emergency.
Dispatch a unit to the Data | Center.
22000 Hill Mount.
Man in need of immediate | life support systems.
Move, Michael.
| Move any part.
Please, Michael.
Oxygen.
Give him oxygen.
| That's correct.
Now check pressure and vitals.
Ambulance 22, what is | the status of your patient? The patient's in extremis.
| I think we're gonna lose him.
Code blue! | Code blue, Doctor! We have a clearance | in the operating room.
We've got a bleeder here.
| Look at this.
We need another | sponge here, nurse.
Get that blood | in here.
Stat! There it is.
| Okay, let's tie it off.
Still losing | some blood here.
I don't know how | but he made it.
Thank you, Doctor.
Working like a charm.
In few days we'll be selling | information for millions of dollars.
It's a score | of a lifetime.
For you maybe, | not for me.
The access to the | government computers is worth $6 million | to $8 million.
That's 12 to 18 months | of this lifestyle.
Not nearly enough.
Means more than that to me.
Different tastes, | Stocker.
As for me, | I'm easily bored.
Like her.
| She's been here too long.
What? A day? Too long.
Dismiss her.
I have more | important problems.
You heard from Martoni? Yeah, Klus heard from him.
| He's up in the computer room.
Where he always is.
Between computers | and modern planes all he need is | an eight-hour sleep and a box | of corn flakes.
It's from our contact | in East Germany.
They're ready | to transfer funds.
What did you hear | from Martoni? He said Michael Knight is | still alive and in a hospital.
Working for some | organization called FLAG.
He said | you'd know them.
That's The Foundation | for Law and Government.
A group of specialists.
Tell the buyers there'll be | a delay in the final transfer.
Yes, sir.
What do you mean | "delay"? Michael Knight has to be | eliminated first.
He's seen my face.
Now, there'll be no money for any of us | until I know that Michael Knight is dead.
Michael, | are you feeling better? KITT? Where are you, buddy? In the parking lot, | Michael.
How long you been there? Since they brought you here | nine days ago.
You have no idea how many baby carriages | and wheelchairs have bumped into me.
So, if for no other reason, | other than my dignity please get up | out of that hospital bed.
Soon, pal.
Soon.
Michael, we both know you're | strong enough to leave now.
If you're going through | an emotional crisis having trouble resuming | your life again I may not be able to solve it, | but I'm ready to listen.
Problem is I don't know what | life I wanna resume again.
If any.
I've had patients | that talk to walls but never to a watch.
Take these pills before I do.
They'll help you sleep.
Good night, Michael.
Dr.
Groman, go to | the emergency room entrance.
Dr.
Groman, go to the | emergency room entrance.
Michael.
Michael! Michael! Code blue! Code blue! | Code blue! Room 202.
Code blue! Code blue! | Room 202.
Are you all right, Michael? | Thanks, buddy.
I'm sorry they don't allow | cars in hospitals.
I would have been | a lot closer.
I know you would have.
Hurry up! Come on, get in.
I don't believe you're thinking clearly.
I've had days | to think clearly.
I'm leaving | the Foundation.
I've had one | incomplete life already as Michael Long.
I'm not sure I wanna live out my | life as Michael Knight anymore.
Oh, it won't be easy | to leave, Michael.
Believe me, I know.
You've seen too much.
You've witnessed the | violence, the injustices.
You've seen | the good we can do.
You've been part of it | for too long just to walk away.
Devon, I'm tired.
It seems as if it's been | a long process of getting tired.
I think I'm finally there.
Even though someone out | there wants you dead? You two look as if he's dead.
No, but he's not | exactly alive either.
Hey, where I come from, | breathing's alive.
The rest is up to you.
Thank you, RC.
You've said | something basic but true.
Michael needs the will | to live.
A reason to care.
And I've got to find that | for him.
Yes, he has a right to that | even though FLAG may lose him.
"Love" "Look at the two of us" "Strangers" "in many ways" "Let's take a lifetime" "to say" "I knew you well" "But only time" "will tell us so" "And love may grow" "for all we know" Thank you.
Let me take 10, | okay? Hello, Stevie.
He's dead, isn't he? No, he's alive.
But part of him is.
He needs you, Stevie.
There's something | I gotta tell you.
I heard you on my monitor | and I don't understand.
This is your life.
You're | programmed the same way I am.
Think of it this way.
My computer banks | are overtaxed.
KITT, there comes | a time in your life when you just can't do | anymore when all your energies | have been used up.
Michael, | will that happen to me? No, you don't have | to worry about that.
Goodbye, pal.
Michael, I may not be | flesh and blood but I am a friend | and I wish you happiness.
But I still don't understand.
In a way neither do I.
Bye, pal.
Yo, Michael.
You're not getting away | that easy.
You got a goodbye party | to go to.
No, thanks, RC.
| I already said my goodbyes.
Hey, man, I haven't | known you that long but everything I've seen and | heard about you tells me you're not the kind of guy | to take the easy way out.
Now, Bonnie and Devon they've been to hell | and back with you, man.
They want to say goodbye.
Look, hey, if I have | to throw a flying tackle you're not leaving them cold.
You're still hurting, man.
I may even be able | to take you.
Thanks, Michael.
I think you just | saved my hide.
Just so you know this isn't gonna | change anything.
We know that, Michael.
We're not trying | to change anything.
We've accepted your decision.
Now, | let's enjoy ourselves, shall we? This can't be our table.
I'm allergic to whip cream, or I | would have jumped out of a cake.
Well, you just gonna | stand there with your mouth | hanging open or you gonna offer a lady a | hug with your well-scarred body? I don't understand.
You're not supposed to.
Devon says you need me.
I want you to say it.
I need to hear it | from your lips.
I don't know if I can | right now.
Well, that's okay.
| I can wait around for a while.
I'm a very patient lady.
What are you doing here? I'm on R and R.
Bonnie said my computer bank | is overtaxed.
Don't put me through this, | all right? Saying goodbye | wasn't that easy.
Michael, the Foundation | has no need for me until they find | a replacement for you.
For once, Michael, | just once, be practical.
You're out of work and you | need free transportation.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
| Why not? Come on.
First time we got | something new.
What's that? | Time.
No deadlines anymore.
This is a little too perfect | to be happening.
It's the way I always | wanted it to be for us.
There's a thing called | reality, you know.
Not yet, Stevie.
| Not yet.
Yes.
Yeah, he's got that car and remote | control again.
He's with some girl.
Looks like they've known | each other a long time.
Stocker, if you can see him, | you can get the shot at him.
It's long range.
If I miss that car | is gonna be on me.
Well, get close enough | to be sure you don't miss him.
We're talking | an empty beach here.
Nothing gets close to him except | that car and some seagulls.
Then we'll have | to handle it another way.
I love you, Stevie.
Will you stop listening? What did you say? I said Stevie, I wanna marry you.
| Right now.
Oh, Michael, | I don't know.
What do you mean, | you don't know? It's just that you've chosen | something that you find more important than happiness | or unhappiness, and That's the gap between us.
Stevie, that gap between us | is the Foundation.
I'm not going back there.
Are you sure? Positive.
Yes, yes, | I will marry you.
Now, KITT.
It maneuvers perfectly | with the weight.
That's enough plastique to | flatten a three-storied building.
I like to be sure.
Gambling is the only vice | I've never acquired.
Morning, pal.
| How you doing? Fine, Michael, | but I was just wondering do you think | the lack of activity and the salt air | will corrode my chassis? I've never known you | not to cover your backside.
That little plane up there? KITT am I nuts, or is that plane | headed right towards us? Michael, if its course | remains set it will impact | with the cottage.
Check it out, will you? | Give me a scan.
Michael, I detect explosives | on that craft.
Stevie! Come on! | Come on! What? | Come on, come on! Get down! I'm sorry, | Stevie.
It was meant for me.
They tried to kill me | in the hospital.
They tried now and | they're gonna try again.
And if they kill you, | they kill me.
Michael, Devon is calling.
Michael, I can't tell you | how sorry I am.
Word has just come to us | that Martoni let it slip in prison that Durant | has put a hold on all activities | until Michael Knight is dead.
What have I got to do | with Durant? Devon, half the agencies in the world | are looking for him and he singles me out? Durant thinks | you've seen his face.
He was with Martoni | at the Data Center.
You're the only one who can identify | him and tie him in with a murder.
Devon, everything | came down in a blur.
I didn't have time | to ID anything.
Yes, we know that.
But Durant is obsessed with the | thought that you can identify him.
You got Martoni.
| Let him ID him.
Martoni will never | talk about Durant.
Nobody ever has and lived.
There's no way we can form | a link.
We can't find Durant.
Michael, I have tried data | search after data search trying to tie in | Martoni with Durant.
It always comes up the | same result.
It's a blank.
Try it again.
Try it again.
Please.
The Foundation's running | another series of checks on Martoni | through their banks.
They'll discover nothing.
There are no ties | back to me.
And Martoni will sit | and do his time quietly.
You're sure? I bet his life | on it.
Devon, would you show Stevie | the Foundation's garden? Hmm? Oh, yes, of course.
Stevie, would you | come with me, please? Bonnie, I wanna see KITT's view of | what happened the day I was shot.
Michael, it won't be pleasant.
I know that.
But I wanna see it.
Very well.
KITT, transfer the image of the guy | directly over me to another channel.
There's an image.
There's a reflection | on Martoni's metal case.
KITT, zero in on the | reflection on the screen.
Okay, KITT compute the reflectory angles and build | an image from the other two points of view.
I understand the request.
But, | Michael, I will need a little time.
These are not simple | calculations and evaluations.
Whatever it takes.
I wanna share a dream | with the man I love and you want him to fall | in love with an ideal.
Well, very well put, | but incomplete.
I love Michael | as a son.
Stevie, I woke up one day | and found that life was duty.
And then | Michael came to us and brought with him, | not only his dedication but also his joy of life.
And you can watch him | face death every day? Caring for him | the way you do, I He wants it to end.
| Can't you see that? Yes, I know.
I find it very hard | to let go.
But I have.
Believe me, | for Michael's happiness.
Devon.
Yes, Michael.
| What is it? A printout | of Durant's face.
I thought he was dead.
| It was confirmed.
You know him? Yes.
His name is Kurt Rolands.
He was an explosives expert, | a double agent one of the top | European connections.
I understood that he was | killed in an explosion about 15 years ago | with three others.
He was licensed to kill | by both sides.
I think he enjoyed that.
Devon, it's your ballgame.
Good luck.
| Play to win.
We're getting married.
Stevie, | as a wedding present I'd like to make | the arrangements.
Well, thank you.
I'd like to know if you | will be my maid of honor? Thank you.
And Devon would you do me the honor | of giving away the bride? I'd love to.
Thank you, Stevie.
RC, this is embarrassing.
Hey, you think you got | problems? Check me out.
I see your point.
Hey.
How do I look? Yeah, I think | these things go like that.
Yeah, okay.
All right, you ready? | You got the ring? All right, let's do it.
Great.
Bonnie, it's here, it's | happening.
Why am I so nervous? Everything is | just so perfect.
Who gives | this bride away? I do.
Dear friends and family you're gathered here to witness the | marriage between Michael and Stevie.
Michael, do you take | Stevie as your wife to love her, and to protect | her, and care for her for the rest of your life? I do.
Stevie, do you take Michael as your husband, | submitting unto him showing reverence | to him in the union for the rest of your life? I do.
Can we have the rings? Take this ring | and wear it.
Take this ring | and wear it.
It is a token of my love | and fidelity toward you.
It is a token of my love | and fidelity toward you.
Take this ring | and wear it.
Take this ring | and wear it.
It's a token of my love | and fidelity toward you.
It's a token of my love | and fidelity towards you.
And now, by the authority | that's been given unto me I now pronounce you | husband and wife.
You may | kiss your bride.
Yeah.
I would now like to introduce to | you, Mr.
and Mrs.
Michael Knight.
Michael Remember only | how much I love you.
No, Stevie.
Stevie, no.
No.
Stevie.
I'm not going back | with you.
Michael, I don't think this | is a time for you to be alone.
I have to be alone.
I'm going after Durant | on my own.
No, Michael, please.
The Foundation is working | in conjunction with every law enforcement | agency in the country.
Well, then you tell them to stay out | of my way.
You can't do this, Michael.
There is | a judicial system.
I don't need a judge | and jury for this one.
Nobody can make me | talk to you.
Then don't talk, pal, | but you listen.
You get word back | to your boss, Durant I know who he is, | I know what he is and I know | what he looks like.
When he killed my wife, he | issued his own death certificate.
I don't know nothing | about killing your lady.
I only plant bugs.
Come on, Martoni, we got | you nailed for murder and the attempt on me | at the hospital.
You gotta take me | to trial first.
It's gonna take months | to get to trial.
Meanwhile, the word's gonna | go out that you gave me Durant.
His name's Kurt Rolands.
Let's go.
You're going | to a stoolie's room.
You're giving me a death | sentence.
You got it! What do you want from me? | I want Durant! He could be in 12 | different places by now.
You better come up | with the right one.
Purdue Auto Parts on 8th | Street.
It's a contact point.
Purdue's a big guy.
| Always wears a leather vest.
Hey, I can't walk out | of this room clean! Please, you got | to mark me up or else the word | will get back to Durant that I dropped the dime.
Please, you got to! What do you think | you're doing? I've got money.
The money's | in the register.
Take it.
Keep the money.
| You're gonna need it.
Then what are you after? | I want Durant.
Oh, you're crazy.
| I'll be dead.
You got the option of | dying now or dying later.
Never seen Durant.
| I'm just a contact.
Then you put me | in touch with them.
I wanna talk to him | right now! That's Durant.
| That's him.
You've done extremely well, | Michael Knight.
But attempting to trace this | frequency won't help you a bit.
It will take days and I'll be long gone | by then.
I'm coming for you, Durant.
I'm coming alone.
| Now, you count on that.
We'll have to eliminate him | sooner or later.
Let's finish this.
Just you and me.
An excellent idea.
Wait in your car for me | at First and Hill Street.
I'll give you a location.
You got one hour.
Then the hunt's on again.
| You got 59 minutes! I won't be here.
All right, | blank out the Foundation.
Keep them shut down.
I want | all channels to FLAG shut off.
I don't believe | what you're doing is right but I'll stay with you.
Thanks.
Michael, are we going | to continue this? Yes.
I am monitoring several | guidance systems, Michael.
This is an obvious trap.
Yeah.
Michael, | we're facing a gauntlet.
There are three men | on that catwalk at the far end | of the building.
All right, compare them | to the photo we got.
I want Durant.
Come on, come on.
These rockets are being fired | by those men on the tower.
Michael, Michael, stop it! You wouldn't be able | to live with yourself! You're not gonna die today.
It's too easy.
If you're lucky, you'll be | executed after the trial.
If not, you're gonna | watch your life rot away in a mirror | of a prison cell.
You know, | when I was very young I heard something | and for the life of me I can't seem to get it | out of my mind.
"You may break, | you may shatter the vase "but the scent of the roses | will hang around it still.
" The scent of the roses | will linger forever.
Forever.
Forever.
Forever.
Where are we going, Michael? We're going home, KITT.
To family.
We're going to the Foundation.
