Knight Rider (1982) s04e21 Episode Script

Now you've got an Asian son | and an Asian enemy.
Where is the boy, Coy O'Brien? | I don't know.
These characters believe they're | supposed to rule the world.
Well, you better make sure this | guy, Tanika, doesn't get me.
You think you have won but you have yet to face | the spirit of the Kamikaze.
Keep your eyes open, your backs | covered, and keep swinging.
Let's go.
What the hell was that? 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.
They're ready.
| Proceed with the mission.
This dude, Nick O'Brien, | what's his tie to Devon? He's been a close friend | for years.
O'Brien served with Devon on the Allied | Command in Korea in the early '50s.
You got any idea what kind | of jackpot this guy is in? All I know is we are not here | to send KITT to the Far East and have him come back as | a crate of ghetto blasters.
Michael, your analogy | is quite disturbing.
Hey, don't worry, KITT.
I am a | strong advocate of ''buy American''.
I wouldn't buy you | if you had a foreign label.
That's very patriotic of you, | RC.
Thanks, KITT.
Now, if you'd just work | on your taste in music.
Knight, I'll be right down! I'm sure glad he's coming | down instead of us going up.
Since when have you been | afraid of heights? Ever since the South Side | Skulls trapped me on a roof and I had to do a swan dive | into a snow bank to escape.
That could do it.
Well let's get right to it, gents.
The bottom line is somebody's | trying to destroy my business.
You're sure it's not just the normal | pressures of business competition? Look, spreading rumors about | massive layoffs isn't normal.
Neither is telling all my suppliers | that I'm a lousy credit risk.
Whoa.
So, whoever's hitting you | is hitting you below the belt.
Right.
See, | I don't mind a good fight.
It gives my men a chance to show that | they're the best craftsmen in the world.
We can't compete | with somebody who's willing to lose | millions just to destroy us.
See, this guy, Tanika, doesn't | want to build in this country he just wants to wipe out | what's here.
That's a tall order.
Hey, this is quite an | operation you got here.
Yeah.
See my men are | as much this company as I am.
Jobs pass from fathers | to sons.
I can always cash out and retire.
But | there's hundreds of them that can't.
All right, Nick, we'll try and | help, but we've got to prove that there's more to this than | just irregular business practice.
Hey a man can't ask for any more | than what's fair.
What the hell was that? KITT, talk to me.
| What's going on? Michael, my scanners detect | four men heading toward the main offices | at the other end of the yard.
Coy, my son.
He's in there.
| He comes in after school.
All right, | head for the offices.
Get me security! Something tells me | these are the bad guys.
Something tells me | you're right.
Michael, there are | two more of them inside.
Security breach in Complex A.
Keep on them.
| I'll check on the kid.
Retreat.
Security breach | in Complex A.
For guys that ain't hard | hats, you have very good moves.
Thanks.
I'm looking | for Coy O'Brien.
You found him.
Nick O'Brien the big guy who runs | this place, is my dad.
Some boy you got there, Nick.
How | did the two of you meet up, anyway? Fifteen years ago, | I went back to Japan.
First time | since I was in the army.
You know at some point I had this | feeling I was being watched.
And I was.
By a woman | with a one-year-old baby.
Coy? | Yeah.
She wanted me to take | him back to the States.
She kept saying | something about evil designs or plans you know, between her | English and my Japanese.
Anyway, I put them in a hotel.
I went to check out her story | and I came up empty.
When I got back, she was gone.
So you adopted Coy | and raised him as your son.
Yeah.
Now you have an Asian son | and an Asian enemy.
Yeah, this time | Tanika's gone too far.
He wants to destroy my | business, that's one thing.
But if he wants to jeopardize | my son, that's something else.
Nick, Tanika is a very, | very powerful man.
How hard | do you want to fight? I mean, how far are you | willing to go? All the way.
I'm willing to lose everything | except my son.
I believe that.
All right.
I'll check out a few things, | then I'll get back to you.
Fight's on.
| All right.
KITT, get me Devon.
I've heard, Michael.
| What do you need? Every piece of information, | business and personal that you can get me | on industrialist, Suki Tanika.
I've already got Bonnie working | on accessing Tanika's database.
Have you discovered who owns | the strange black vehicle? It belongs | to an agency called The Foundation | for Law and Government.
The driver was Michael Knight.
We have drawn | strong opponents, Gobi.
But it is better | to test steel against steel.
We miscalculated.
O'Brien's sphere of power | is larger than expected.
How else could he call upon | resources of this foundation? We must double our efforts.
That child is still the key.
So what you're telling me is Tanika is trying to revive | the Uyoku cult.
Well, the agencies in the Far East | have long suspected it.
But, Tanika has yet to do | anything visible that would allow the | authorities to take action.
What's the story | on these Uyoku dudes, anyway? Well, they were | a terrorist cult abolished by the Allied | Command after the war.
It's still illegal in Japan.
Kamikazes were Uyokus.
| The death squads were Uyokus.
These characters believe they're | supposed to rule the world.
They make the Nazis | look like Good Humor men.
Where are you going? | To check out Tanika.
When he gets in that kind of mood, he's | usually headed for the eye of the storm.
In that case, would you get on that machine | that you call a motorbike and follow him? Stay close by him in case he | needs you.
But don't crowd him.
Right.
Michael, this man | Tanika's sentiments may be from another century.
But he works amidst | state-of-the-art security.
Can we breach it? Yes, but what do you | hope to find? Hooded ninja | walking the hallways? I don't know, anything is more | than what we got now.
It's your move.
There is a sensitive infrared | system on the ground level.
The second level looks more | vulnerable.
That's correct.
But getting up there | is another matter.
All right.
| We use the overpass.
Okay, pal.
I need a little help | about 25 feet up.
No problem.
All right.
Hit it.
Cover the front, pal.
Point me | to the largest office, KITT.
It's the suite on your left.
| Thank you.
KITT, get a picture of all | these.
Right away, Michael.
You've been spotted, Michael.
I suggest a hasty retreat.
Get him! KITT, the back entrance.
Judging from | these photographs I'd say Tanika | is after Coy O'Brien.
Coy? What's he got to do with all | this? That's a good question, RC.
Look, we got to put him in a safe place | till we deal with Tanika and find out.
I'll arrange for him to stay | here.
Safest place for him.
I still don't understand why Tanika has | shots of Coy all the way back to infancy.
See if you can ID the man | holding the baby.
Look, RC, hang around Tanika's office | and tail him if he leaves.
Then call in.
Yeah.
| I'm going to check on Coy.
I wanna tell you guys how much I appreciate | what you did the other day.
But you can't keep on | taking risks like that.
There may be more violence, and you'll | be putting your lives on the line.
Anybody wants out | or just wants some time off I'll understand.
We already talked this over, | Mr.
O.
While through good times and bad | times, you've always treated us right.
We figure it's our turn now.
That's right.
Yeah.
| We're with you all the way.
Right, guys? | Yeah.
You betcha.
Me too, Dad.
| You can count on me.
No way, kid.
| You're going with Michael.
And if word gets back to me that | you've been doing any mouthing off I'm gonna kick your butt | all the way down to Pier 26.
Okay, now get out of here, | huh? Okay, you want to stay, I'll | tell you what's coming down.
You know, | he loves you very much.
You don't have to | tell me that.
My old man would stand in front of | a full-out bulldozer to protect me.
That's why you're staying | with us, so he doesn't have to.
Well, you better make sure this | guy, Tanika, doesn't get me.
I don't want my dad losing | his fight because of me.
You and your dad are two of the | luckiest Irishmen in the world.
Yeah, we do okay.
You gonna let me see | this baby strut its stuff? Excuse me, Michael.
But before | this ''baby struts its stuff'' I'd like to say | the boy's grammar is lacking | in lexiphonic luster.
You ready? | Yeah.
Hang on.
The black man on the motorcycle | is still following us.
The same one | who was with Michael Knight? Yes, master.
Have him brought to me.
Hey, whatever you say.
Check it out.
Whoa! KITT's bad, but this is bad.
I think he just paid you | a compliment.
Oh, I see.
Thank you, Coy.
I'm afraid you're spending | too much time with RC.
I bet you can plug into | just about anything with this.
Just about.
From batting | averages to you name it.
By the way, | have you heard from RC? Not a word.
I don't know | a Michael Knight Nick O'Brien, | or any foundation.
We have many ways | to awaken one's mind to what he knows | or doesn't know.
Man, will you just listen? I don't know any foundation.
Maybe the young man | was telling the truth, Gobi.
Help him up.
Whoever you are, will you | tell this big ape to cool it.
He's got this urge | to break things.
Then tell him why you were | following the limousine.
I wasn't following anything.
A friend of mine called me and told me he was house sitting | this old mansion on Holly Canyon Road.
The road you traveled on was Holly | Canyon Drive, not Holly Canyon Road.
Road, drive.
What do I know? | I made a mistake.
Where is the boy, Coy O'Brien? I don't know | what you're talking about.
You will.
Michael, just listen I can't talk long.
The old mansion on Holly | Canyon Drive.
They're here.
And I'm gonna be | house sitting.
Is that all the Foundation | recorder got from RC's call? That's it.
I can't figure out why he called | there.
He knows we're in the semi.
The voice print matches his.
| But it's not his rhythm.
The words have been | reassembled.
I don't like this.
I don't like the fact that | he's in there with Tanika.
Michael.
| He's got no choice.
Scan the place.
I wanna know what I'll be | up against in there.
Right away, Michael.
I don't detect | any electronic security but the main house has guards | posted at every entrance.
Shall we blast | through the gates? No, no.
Tanika knows I'm coming.
| I wanna keep a low profile.
The main house | is my obvious move.
Zero in on that structure at the | rear of the grounds and scan it.
I'm picking up RC's | biological profile, Michael.
Terrific.
Open the gates.
All right.
| Stand by at the gates, KITT.
Easy, RC.
What? When the time is right slowly and painfully we will | take the life from his body.
I'm not surprised you decided to | crawl out of your hole at night.
Rodents prefer the dark, | don't they? The morning sun may bring a darkness | that would cloud your life forever.
But together, we can | prevent it from happening.
You called the meeting.
| I'm here.
I'm listening.
I'm not here to talk | about us, Mr.
O'Brien but about two other men, who, like | us, have a problem that seems unresolvable.
Imagine these two men are | pieces in a game of chess a knight and a black bishop, | who have just been captured.
Yes, | two very important pieces.
I was certain you agree.
Get to the point before I | shove my fist down your throat.
The player who has captured | them now asks his opponent will you gracefully surrender | your king or play on | and lose everything? I'm afraid Mr.
Tanika is referring | to Michael and RC, Bonnie.
You can talk in riddles | all you want to but I'm not about to surrender my | business to you.
Now you got that? Your business is not | my objective, Mr.
O'Brien.
Plainly speaking I wish to trade Mr.
Knight | and his companion for Coy.
For Coy? | What's he got to do with this? He belongs to his culture.
Bull! I've had him ever since | he was a baby.
He's mine.
No! Kasuga Sukuritsu | is a national treasure a direct descendant of the noble | scholar who gave birth to our cult.
It is Coy's destiny to revive the Uyoku | and proclaim his divine right | to rule the world.
You are nuts.
You're talking about a 15-year-old | kid who's into baseball.
He means more to me | than anything in the world.
And the last thing that Michael | and RC would want me to do is trade Coy for them.
So you're just wasting | your time.
Let them go! Oh, I shall, after | they undergo the ritual by which we eliminate | the enemies of the Uyoku.
You hurt one of them, | just one and I'll come at you | with everything I've got.
Whatever it takes to bring | you down.
Now get off my back! O'Brien you have now made it | a matter of honor.
I have no choice but to destroy | you and take Coy as well.
That leaves Michael and RC in | an extremely dangerous situation.
My dad wouldn't do that.
He said killing them wouldn't | do any good.
You heard him.
Tanika will have to | let them go now.
I wish it was that simple, | Coy.
I'm afraid | under the circumstances Mr.
Tanika can't afford | to take that risk.
Well, what do we do? | Bring in the police? No.
Tanika would kill Michael | and RC the moment he spotted | the SWAT team in the area.
So we sit and wait? And keep a good watch on Coy.
Tanika will never find him as long | as he's here and we're on the move.
Okay, I'll get us rolling.
| Maybe I can talk to him.
Devon, he's gone.
Show me an overall view of O'Brien's complex.
The blue line represents the | route of the delivery truck? Yes, master.
Tomorrow morning, it will make | precisely the same circuit through the O'Brien complex | that it makes every weekend.
Good.
Where will the containers | with explosives be delivered? The demolition plan is multiphased | to ensure maximum destruction.
You will be able to sequentially | detonate the charges from a remote position.
The technical staff has attained | new levels of excellence, Kumita.
Inform them | they will be rewarded.
Complete annihilation.
O'Brien will be powerless to | retaliate once we have the boy.
Michael? Where are you? KITT! KITT! I know you said to stay put, | but on some occasions it's a lot harder | to obey orders than others.
But I'm sure you have good | reason for not answering.
You, who believe in the | divine right of the Uyoku and of the boy, | Kasuga Sukuritsu shall choose in which manner | these two shall die.
Shall Gobi hunt them | like frightened deers or shall he play with them as the bear | toys with the rabbit? Bear! Bear! So be it.
Is there any chance | of this being a fair fight? Not unless we're the bear | and they're the rabbit.
Hey! Hey, hold it! We found him outside.
Let them go, Mr.
Tanika.
| Don't hurt them.
Come stand beside me.
Okay, I'll stand | next to you I'll stand behind you, | I'll do whatever you want but you have to let them go | and leave my dad alone.
In time, I will be pleased to | obey the Master's commands but I cannot do so now.
Why not, | if he's the Master? Because the Master must be ordained | Emperor Prince of the Uyoku before he can | control our destiny.
You got to be | putting me on.
The only control I want | is on my fastball.
And I wanna live | with my dad.
KITT, I need you.
Open the gates | and get in here real fast.
Right away, Michael.
Something tells me | we're doing this all wrong.
Yeah, that's what my body | keeps telling me.
The boy! Stop him! Who is this guy, anyway? I don't | know, but I wish he was on our side.
Yeah.
You hit him high, I'll hit | him low? Okay, you go first.
Obviously, you're kidding.
| I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Where's Coy? Over there.
Let's go! Look, Coy, | I'm proud of the way you stood up against Tanika.
You might be as tough | as your old man but as long as you're my | responsibility, you got to stay put.
Got you, Michael, but- | No buts.
Coy, I'm sure | you're very hungry.
Now, why don't you find Bonnie and | get her to fetch you some breakfast? The police found Tanika's | enclave empty, stripped bare.
What about his offices? I'm afraid the gentleman | has disappeared.
Makes me feel real uncomfortable not | knowing where this cat might turn up.
Devon, Tanika is a fanatic.
If he thinks he's lost, he's gonna | try and take others down with him.
You're talking | about Nick O'Brien.
O'Brien here.
Nick? Devon.
Have you seen Tanika? No sign of him here, Devon.
That's a relief.
Nick, I urge you | to double security.
And keep it that way | until we've located Tanika.
Right.
You know, I almost wish he would show | up.
This time my boys will be ready.
If Tanika's gonna move on him, | O'Brien's gonna need more than his boys.
I'll grab my bike | and meet you there.
Gentlemen, be careful.
Michael, Devon's calling.
| Yo, Devon.
What's up? Bonnie's succeeded in | accessing Tanika's database.
Take a look at this graphic.
I'm | patching it into KITT's system.
KITT, what do those numbers | add up to? They designate key structural | locations at the plant.
The chemical symbols | represent the components of an extremely | destructive plastic explosive.
Devon, we're looking at Tanika's | blueprint for the total annihilation of O'Brien Industries.
I'll call Nick immediately.
| You got it.
Super pursuit mode, pal.
Where's Denny? | Sick.
But I've got the order sheet, and a | diagram of where the deliveries go.
Hold it a moment.
Gate security, Anderson.
Anderson, | this is Nick O'Brien.
I want every incoming vehicle | gone over with a fine tooth comb.
The weekend parts delivery is just | coming through now, Mr.
O'Brien.
No exceptions.
| Everything gets the once over.
What are we looking for? | Explosives.
You got it, Mr.
O'Brien.
I rounded up | as many men as I could.
Okay.
Bring them all in here | for a second.
Come on in, guys.
I'm gonna have to check your | load.
Orders from Mr.
O'Brien.
Let me see your lading bills.
Give me an ETA | to O'Brien Industries.
Three minutes, 15 seconds.
Sign here, please.
We're getting close to O'Brien's.
| All right, go back to normal.
Michael, Tanika's data indicates | that the first detonation will occur | in the main elevator shaft.
Sign here.
I can't tell you guys | how grateful I am you're giving up your weekend | to back me up.
Like we said, Mr.
O even in bad times, you | stood by us.
It's our turn.
Let's see that graphic again.
I'm picking up | heavy concentrations of plastic explosive.
Each charge | has a remote detonator.
With Tanika at the controls.
See if | you can get a fix on his position.
I can't, not until he uses | the detonating frequency.
You mean we have to wait for something | to blow before we can spot him? I'm sorry, Michael.
Well, | start with the elevator, pal.
Keep your eyes open, your backs | covered, and keep swinging.
Let's go.
KITT, what's happening? Someone has activated the | elevator from a remote location.
Hey, you! What the hell | are you doing up there? Come on, let's get him! KITT, I got the bomb.
Can you jam this thing? I still can't read | the detonating frequency.
You better get it | out of there, Michael.
Okay, bring me down, real | quick.
No problem, Michael.
What the hell do you think | you're doing? Hey! Behind you.
| Take that! All right.
Now that you've got | Tanika's frequency, locate and nullify.
Tanika's frequency is nullified, | Michael, and I've located him.
Good work, pal.
| Let's go and get him.
Master, I believe I can There he is.
Okay, pal, | let's drown the rat.
Your rising sun just set, | Tanika.
That's a good a way as I know | to show some pride.
You all knew | there'd be risks today.
But you stood by me you faced them, and you won.
Of course, a little help from | a special friend never hurts.
Thank you.
I was just happy | to be part of a team that's sticking up | for what they knew was right.
I guess that's what | Old Glory's all about.
I don't know.
''Thank you'' | doesn't seem like enough.
Hey, don't worry about it.
| You got a terrific son.
Thank you.
| Okay.
That's righteous stuff, | Michael.
For once, Coy, I agree | with your choice of slang.
Individual achievement | and team spirit are indeed indelibly ingrained | in our ideals.
There he goes again.
| What's he talking about now? Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, | Mays, guys like that.
He's talking about baseball? Sure, | a great baseball player is a star.
But he's also part of the | team.
I agree, Michael.
Baseball | is our national pastime but there are other | manifestations of the American way.
That's right.
Nothing is more | American than an inside fastball.
You nailed that guy.
