Knight Rider (1982) s04e19 Episode Script

The army has | taken over the country.
I urge every citizen | to resist the militarists.
That woman's our contact.
Come on, Lisa, get in! Track this super car down.
| Take the driver alive.
I'm picking up a vehicle | in pursuit, Michael.
Turbo boost.
He's not who he says he is.
| He's with the opposition.
You're going to | the wall at dawn.
Ready! Aim! Fire! 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.
But, senor Ruiz she was supposed to | have left an hour ago.
Are you sure? Well, that's great news.
Sounds like good news, | Harrington.
Yes, Mr.
President.
The plane got off.
My wife is | on her way back to the States.
Excuse me, sir.
Thank God | something has gone right.
The calls just keep coming.
Not one victim has been | evacuated from the volcano yet! I thought the army was | supposed to be handling that.
So did I.
| I personally, personally ordered Colonel Peralta to | dispatch every available vehicle to the towns | most heavily hit- Colonel, what is | the meaning of this? In an emergency like this, the | nation needs us to be together.
Colonel, he's right.
Thousands of your people have | already been killed by the volcano.
Quiet! You, Senor Presidente, | and your American advisor have bungled | this national emergency.
Your incompetence has forced | me to declare martial law.
Arrest him! You're insane.
Wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
| Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
| I'm an American citizen.
We're exactly one mile from the San Duarte border, | Michael.
Either they're greeting us | with fireworks, my man or that mountain blew its top | three days ahead of schedule.
I'm afraid, the latter, RC.
Mount Duarte | last erupted in 1874.
Spare us the stats, | will you, pal? Scan the road | for volcanic debris.
The road is clear, but I've | detected military activity up ahead.
It's no longer | an open border, RC.
Yeah, they slammed the door | before we got through it.
They're gonna need a new door | as soon as those vehicles clear.
We got to get | Harrington out.
Okay, pal, let's button up.
As the boss would say we're | making smashing progress.
They don't like gatecrashers | down here, do they? We can't get kicked out | of this party.
We've got to meet our contact | and get a fix on the situation.
Yeah, I think | this is called serious.
Michael, thanks for talking the | boss into letting me come along.
No problem.
I'm picking up a vehicle | in pursuit, Michael.
All right, | let's shake it, pal! We'll out run him.
Michael, there's a ravine | blocking us No problem, buddy.
| Piece of cake.
Hang on.
Turbo boost.
This is it? | Yeah.
Sorry about the accommodation.
It's | the only cover within satellite relay.
Yeah.
Compared to some | of the places I've crashed this is the penthouse | on Lake Shore Drive.
Yeah, well, it's an empty one.
| Our contact isn't here.
Man, you mean to say | we crashed the border drove 1,200 miles, | and got stood up? I mean, I thought the boss | said this lady was solid.
Solid as they come.
| She's a national heroine.
Lisa Corrales led the fight | that put President Sosa in power.
Get a hold of Devon.
| Maybe he knows something.
Signal check.
Hello, Bonnie.
You read me? Yes, loud and clear, RC.
Hello, Michael? | Are you two all right? I've been expecting the worst.
I haven't been able to | get in touch with Harrington.
Devon, I'm not surprised.
The army has | taken over the country.
Oh, that changes things.
As someone once said should you | or one of your people be caught or captured the Foundation will disavow any | knowledge of your activities.
That is | a distinct possibility.
Devon, we are fugitives.
We | ran the border an hour ago.
We're at the rendezvous point, | but our contact is not here.
I thought | that might be the case.
We've been alerted | to a possible change in plans.
According to | this communiqué you will find Miss Corrales at | the State Television Station making a broadcast | against the takeover.
On my way.
RC, anybody from our side | shows, tell them where I've been.
What about the other side? Tell them you never heard | of Lisa Corrales.
Units of the Army | were to provide food, medicine and shelter | to the stricken populace.
And even the areas most devastated by | the volcano have received no relief.
This, and the closing of | the border by armed troops prove that a coup is underway.
We have just | received confirmation that President Sosa and other | members of the government have been arrested.
I urge every citizen | to resist the militarists who, once again, are attempting | to destroy our democracy and impose their will on- Come on.
| Come on, Lisa, let's go.
We've got to move.
Come on.
| Get out of here.
Come on.
Get out of here.
| I'll cover you.
That woman is in trouble.
That woman's our contact.
| Let's pick her up.
Come on, Lisa, get in! Get in! | I'm not finished yet! That was dangerous and dumb.
War usually is, Mr.
Knight.
You don't have to | remind me.
I told you, | my best guess is that Mr.
Harrington is alive and imprisoned | somewhere.
And that's all I can give you.
I was told you'd help me find | Harrington and get him out.
I'm sorry, | but you have your mission and, unfortunately, | I have to repeat mine.
Hold it, hold it.
Harrington could've bailed | out.
He hung in there.
He went to the wall | for your country.
Went to the wall? | Not yet, he didn't.
Your slang is our reality.
Have you ever seen | a firing squad? A woman | put against the wall? A man so tortured | that he begs to be executed? My parents.
I was 15.
I'm sorry.
It's too late for them and for a good man that I | left back at the TV station but not for President Sosa | and the others.
And I'm not turning my back | on him to save Harrington.
I'm not asking you | to do that.
You're up against an | all-or-nothing situation here.
It's gonna take teamwork and | planning to beat it.
Not adversaries.
We pull together, we can bust | them out.
All of them.
I mean it.
I give the orders.
| You follow them.
We start at the TV station.
| Raoul could still be alive.
That's a long shot at best.
I think we should concentrate on where | Harrington and the others are being held.
With any luck, we will.
Raoul has an informer | on Peralta's staff.
All right, back to the TV | station.
Keep your scanners peeled.
Very well, Michael.
This car just might | make the difference.
Well, so much for | speeches about us pulling together, | and teamwork.
That black T-top runs a border | checkpoint, and no one stops it? Colonel, we tried, but our rounds | bounced off, and then it leaped the river.
Leaped the river? The same vehicle rescued Lisa | Corrales at the television station.
Track this super car down.
| Take the driver alive.
No, no.
More to the side.
I want to have an aura | appear around me.
Now, this subversive is | just the propaganda we need.
Conclusive proof that outside | agitators have infiltrated the country.
Get him.
Make sure | everyone can see the flag and the photographs | of my family.
My scanners have just detected | a truck approaching, Michael.
Ours or theirs? It's a two-and-a-half-ton 6x6.
| The same type used to move troops.
All right.
| Prepare for evasive action.
No, no, wait.
| I know that truck.
It's Martinez.
He's one of us.
Pull over.
Martinez! Martinez, stop! It's me, Lisa.
Stop! Oh, Raoul.
| I thought they killed you.
So did the soldiers.
I slipped away from the | station after they left.
He's gonna need some help.
Follow us.
Yes, yes.
You're sure? Good work, good work.
My source is positive.
Harrington, President Sosa and the others | are being held at the Capitol prison.
First thing we do | is find a way in.
A way in? We can't even | get there from here.
The roads are blocked | with lava and debris.
Then we're beaten | before we start.
No, we're not.
The way we beat that volcano | is parked right over there.
A car? I've seen it in action, Raoul.
It's the best chance we have.
No.
There isn't another | like it in the district.
There are patrols, | roadblocks everywhere.
We'll stand out | even more than he will.
Not if we camouflage him.
All we gotta do is make him look | like one of your local vehicles.
I know just what you mean, | Senor Knight.
Leave it to me.
Like we did | that time in Forstaza.
I know I'm not | gonna like this one.
Michael, I'm so embarrassed.
Not now, KITT.
| Time for the soundtrack.
Special effects.
Let me handle him.
Where are you going? To stay with relatives | in Arangia.
The route through the Capitol | is closed.
You'll have to | take the detour to What's your name? Lizabetta Corazon.
Take off your sunglasses.
Do it or he'll be | even more suspicious.
Wait right here.
| Lieutenant! I think I got them.
He recognized me.
| Now what are we going to do? They want Lisa Corrales.
| They can have her.
You ready, pal? | Ready when you are.
Do it right now.
Atención, all military units.
Lisa Corrales has been spotted in | a black T-top on the river road.
All units respond and pursue.
I repeat, Lisa Corrales has | been identified as a passenger in the black T-top that has | been spotted on the river road.
Nice! Very, very nice.
Thank you, Michael.
The first chance we get, I'd like | to stop and shed this excess baggage.
As soon as we put some miles | between us and that checkpoint.
The more the better.
Don't worry.
| Nothing will stop us now.
Sit down, Mr.
Harrington.
What do you want? What's this? It's a speech you'll be making | right after mine agreeing that democracy is an | experiment that did not work.
Nothing could | make me say this.
Tom! My God, Laurette! They told me | you'd made your flight.
Honey- Evidently, you were | misinformed, Mr.
Harrington.
Bet they didn't teach you how | to handle this at Yale, did they? If you do anything | to hurt her It's good to be rid of that awful | disguise and back to my normal self.
Enjoy it while you can, pal.
| It's not gonna last.
Detour.
| What are we gonna do now? Got no choice | but to go through.
Michael, we have no idea | what we're heading into.
Let's find out.
| Scan up ahead, pal.
This is insane.
| We'll be buried alive.
How are we gonna | get through that? We go over it or we go through | it.
Give me a reading, KITT.
The lava is too spread out | to turbo boost.
All right.
We're gonna need all | the speed we can get.
Hang on.
Michael, my armored shell can't withstand | the extreme heat of this lava much longer.
Hang in there buddy.
Unbelievable.
I told you we'd make it.
Someone else | I want to tell.
RC? I'm telling you, guys, | we're on the same side.
RC? RC, it's Michael.
| Am I coming through? Not a word.
You ask him.
| Ask him, he'll tell you.
I read you, Michael.
Relay to Devon- RC? RC! I don't know, something went | wrong with the transmission.
KITT, how are you doing with | my new identification card? Just about finished, Michael.
There it is, right there.
| Turn into the truck yard.
It's all right, Miguel.
| We need some cover.
Thank you, KITT.
This looks | official enough to me.
Should get me in, huh? It's getting you out | that concerns me.
Yes, nothing is official | enough for the military.
What do you expect to achieve | by going in the front door? Well, at worst, | I'll check the place out.
At best, I could scare Peralta | into letting them all go.
KITT, I gotta change.
| Pop the trunk, will you? The Colonel's | not seeing anyone.
See this? | United States Government.
Guns, uniforms, | trucks, food all from | the United States of America.
Now, if I were you, I would | let the Colonel decide if he wants to go | naked and hungry.
Come with me.
Come in.
Sit down.
I extended to you | this courtesy, Mr.
Knight because we buy | your government's products not its | imperialist propaganda.
Oh, counting on that.
You've arrested one of our | citizens, your President and members | of the government.
My mission is to | secure their release.
Typical American arrogance.
You should know better | than to even ask.
One call to Washington and the gravy train | doesn't stop here any more.
Make a speech about that.
I'll give you Harrington.
Why don't you give me | a line to Washington? Look, maybe we can | work out something.
I mean- He's not who he says he is.
He's with the opposition.
What? Why did you | let him get this far? I never thought he would.
And it would've cost me my | cover to stop him sooner.
It's going to cost you a lot | more than that.
I promise you.
Idle threats are no match for | a firing squad, Mr.
Knight.
Take him away.
Michael.
Michael, what happened? | Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine, but I'm not | gonna be much help to you in here.
Can't you use your com-link | and get a message to Devon? We've got to let the world know | what's really going on here.
I've lost my relay station.
KITT's compact | doesn't have the range.
What good would it do, anyway? Peralta would claim it's an | orderly transition of government and there's no way | to disprove it.
He's right.
We were counting on you.
| I mean, they've got my wife.
Take it easy.
| We'll deal with that.
There's something | I got to do first.
KITT? We got problems.
Talk to me.
Go ahead, Michael.
I'm in a cell | in the Capitol prison.
You and Lisa have got to | get out of there right away.
Capitol prison? What about Raoul? | He went in to cover you.
We can't leave without him.
He's a traitor.
He's the one | who blew my cover.
He'll be coming | for you and KITT next.
That's ridiculous.
| I don't believe you.
There's no time to argue here! KITT, get out of there | and find a place to hide.
Right away, Michael.
I think I see a way to | do both at the same time.
Between the trucks! That car was right here.
It's got to be here.
I never thought | I'd see the day.
It will soon be time, | gentlemen.
I hope that neither of you | suffers from stage fright.
And no personal effects.
All right.
I've got it.
I've got a contact at the Capitol | prison.
His name is Juan Parreras.
Get a hold of him.
| Find the I'll talk to you later.
We found him by the shack | with a transmitter.
What were you doing there? Manning a relay station.
Like I told these guys, | I came into the country with Michael Knight | to meet you, but- Prove it.
Come on.
How else would I know | about him? I couldn't make this up.
You wouldn't have to.
Half of | the country knows of him by now.
Leave this infiltrator to us.
We'll find out | what he's up to.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, but KITT! I know him.
| He is telling the truth.
KITT! Hey! KITT.
Am I glad to hear your voice.
What are you doing | under there? Where's Michael? I'm afraid he's been arrested.
He's what? Oh, man, | we've got to do something.
It comes down | to you and me, lady.
You better think up some ideas | how we break him out 'cause without him, | you don't stand a chance.
Well, assuming you're right we'd have to get someone | inside to make this work.
Okay.
Let's do it.
It's easier said than done.
There's a way.
I know | a scam we can pull off.
If I may, I suggest | you hear him out, Lisa.
RC3 is extremely resourceful | when it comes to scamming.
I'll bet.
But I'll be | the one who decides.
All right.
In seconding the remarks | of Colonel Peralta not only has the government | failed to respond to this national emergency but also were it not for the Colonel's | decisive actions many more lives would have | been lost to the volcano.
This, plus the fact that | the Sosa Government has proven itself vulnerable | to outside agitators forces me to support | martial law at this time.
In conclusion, | my fellow citizens should there be any doubt of the | presence of subversive elements this man Michael Knight, has | covertly crossed our border and entered our capital with | forces sworn to destroy this nation.
We have sentenced | this American agitator to be executed | by firing squad for crimes | against the state.
No time for mistakes.
| Make it good.
Hi.
How would you like to | buy me another cerveza? Hey! Keep your hands off me.
What's the matter, buddy? Don't you know a lady | when you see one? They took my com-link.
I can't | even communicate with KITT.
We've got to buy some time | and figure a way out of here.
Well maybe we could make | some kind of a deal.
Give them some information.
It's worth trying.
Colonel Peralta | is extremely paranoid.
If he thinks there's a secret | he doesn't know- Forget it.
He'd agree to the | deal, get the information and then he'd kill you.
| No, we get- Clumsy idiot! Hey, I'll take care of that.
Take just a minute.
Careful, man.
You think I got nothing else | to do but clean up after you? If you keep this up, you'll be | assigned to trustee duty permanently.
I don't know | what you're up to but it could | cost you your life.
Yeah, that's what Lisa said.
I only figured a way in.
I was hoping you'd have the | answer to get us all out of here.
I don't.
You're going to | the wall at dawn.
You're saying we're just gonna | let them kill you? Maybe.
What? You sure got | a lot of rifles there.
They're for | the firing squad.
I suggest you don't make a | habit of attacking our soldiers.
Hey, nothing personal.
I think martial law is the | best thing to hit San Duarte since blended margaritas.
I hate blended margaritas.
Inspection arms! Ready! Aim! Fire! He's an American.
The body will be shipped | to the States.
Gonzales, Herrera, | carry him inside.
Squad dismissed! I want to see my wife.
After your next speech in which you will report that | justice here is swift and humane.
No.
No more speeches.
Not until I know you animals | haven't done anything to hurt her.
At the moment she's resting | comfortably in her bedroom.
Don't force me to cage her.
Take his boots.
Did you see that guy's face | when you came back to life? Like he'd seen a miracle.
Right now, | I'd settle for my com-link.
Where'd you park | the Lieutenant? All right, now that Peralta thinks | I'm being crated for shipment we can make some moves.
KITT? | You tuned in out there, pal? Michael? | Michael, of course I am.
I've been monitoring your channel | round the clock.
Where are you? I'm with RC.
We're out of jail but | we're still in prison, so to speak.
How can I help you? Get Lisa and her people | to the Capitol.
Contact me as soon as you're | all here and ready to move.
My pleasure.
I'm quite tired | of literally being undercover.
RC.
By the way, what did you | use for blood, anyway? Believe me, Michael, | you do not want to know.
All right.
Martinez.
| In about 30 minutes.
What's going on, KITT? | What happened? I'll explain on the way.
| Follow me.
He's gotten us this far.
Okay, KITT.
We're behind you.
Round up! Let's move! Let's go.
Prisoner.
Open up.
I'll take him.
All personnel, | Knight's escaped! Knight's escaped! | He's freeing the others! All personnel, | Knight's escaped! All right, everybody out! KITT, can you read me? Come in.
Sound the general alarm.
| Seal off the city! Michael? We're here, Michael.
I hear you, pal.
Timing couldn't be better, | let me tell you.
That sounds like trouble, | Michael.
Nothing we can't handle now.
We got Harrington, President | Sosa and all the others.
Just one person left | to account for.
Do you have any idea where | they're holding your wife? Yes.
She's in our living | quarters in the main building.
RC, wait till KITT breaks in and | distracts them.
Then you make your move.
You've got it.
Okay, pal.
On my cue.
Standing by, Michael.
Let's do it.
Go! All right, pal.
| Do it, KITT.
Right away, Michael.
Go! KITT, we're around the corner.
| Come and pick us up.
Good to see you, pal! You, too, Michael.
Lisa.
Where's Raoul? I don't know.
He's gone! Far as you go! Who will be first? | You? Maybe you.
No! Raoul, no.
Don't turn around! | Toss your weapon aside.
Step away from him.
No.
No! He's entitled to a fair trial.
Lisa, this is what | you're fighting for this is what | democracy is about.
It's up to you | and President Sosa to make sure | the people know the truth.
This is where you start, | right here.
Now my work is finished.
And ours is back on track.
| Thank you, Michael.
We're staying.
You're staying? Good luck.
| Good luck to all of you.
You'll need some luck, too.
The army still controls | the countryside and it won't be easy | for you to get out.
That's all right.
We'll go out | the same way we came in.
You take care, huh? | Bye.
Once again a few traitorous individuals | in the military have attempted | to take over our government and declare martial law.
And once again, we have | overcome their tyranny and preserved our democracy and the freedoms | we cherish so dearly.
To those of you who have | fought so valiantly and who have given of | themselves in this noble cause the government of San Duarte | salutes you.
Mission accomplished? Mission accomplished.
Now all we gotta do | is cross the lava flow.
Let's go home, huh? Yeah.
Hello, hello.
Welcome home.
| Hi.
For a while there, | you really had us worried.
They had us | a little worried, too.
Well, soon the government of San | Duarte will be back to normal.
Which is more than | I can say for myself.
Oh, come now, KITT.
Your systems are programmed | to deal with every eventuality.
Not with being smothered by a mountain | of furniture and spare tires nor the volcanic ash that's | still clogging my intake vents.
Bonnie, you think | he's getting his point across? Loud and clear, RC.
KITT's shell | got a little scruffed.
Now he's indulging | in a little Grousing? Exactly.
I do not grouse, Michael.
I'm simply pointing out that I | bore the brunt of the dirty work.
I was the one | who faced the firing squad.
With a little help | from the Lieutenant here.
I mean, | I had to go to the mat with a guy the size of | the refrigerator.
My, how a little grousing | gets around.
Well, that's what | it's all about, isn't it? The democratic process | and the right to speak out.
My very thoughts, Michael.
I mean, considering the | situation, as it were, l- And the right to tune out.
