(male narrator) 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.
[birds chirping]
Morning, Dr. Hanson.
I'm sorry, I've got to check your ID card.
[grunts]
[tires screeching]
Now, let's move. Stay on schedule.
We'll have a safe 10 minutes.
[machine ringing]
[keyboard keys clicking]
[beeping]
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.
[KITT humming]
[gun firing]
[tires screeching]
All right, keep your scanners peeled and button up.
I'll try and keep them inside till backup appears.
(KITT) Right, Michael.
[grunting]
[groaning]
[gun firing]
(KITT) Michael!
[tires screeching]
(Durant) Finish him!
[tires screeching]
[police siren wailing]
Let's move.
(KITT) 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.
[medics chattering]
[siren wailing]
(KITT) Oxygen. Give him oxygen. That's correct.
Now check pressure and vitals.
(man on radio) 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.
[people chattering]
We've got a bleeder here. Look at this.
We need another sponge here, nurse.
Get that blood in here. Stat!
[machines beeping]
(doctor) There it is. Okay, let's tie it off.
Still losing some blood here.
[people chattering]
[phone ringing]
[sighing]
I don't know how but he made it.
[sighs]
Thank you, Doctor.
[water running]
(Stocker) 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.
[keyboard keys clicking]
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.
[KITT humming]
(KITT) 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.
[door closing]
I've had patients that talk to walls...
but never to a watch.
Take these pills before I do.
They'll help you sleep.
[KITT humming]
[woman chattering on PA system]
(KITT) Good night, Michael.
(woman on PA system) Dr. Groman, go to the emergency room entrance.
Dr. Groman, go to the emergency room entrance.
[people chattering]
(KITT) Michael.
Michael!
(KITT on PA system) Code blue! Code blue! Code blue! Room 202.
Code blue! Code blue! Room 202.
[grunting]
[groaning]
[medics chattering]
[grunting]
[groaning]
(KITT) Are you all right, Michael? Thanks, buddy.
I'm sorry they don't allow cars in hospitals.
I would have been a lot closer.
[groaning] I know you would have.
(man) Hurry up!
Come on, get in.
[medics chattering]
I don't believe you're thinking clearly.
I've had days to think clearly.
I'm leaving the Foundation.
[birds chirping]
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.

[people applauding]
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.
[birds chirping]
There's something I gotta tell you.
(KITT) 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.
[groans]
(RC) 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.
[people chattering]
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.
##[romantic music playing on car stereo]
What are you doing here?
(KITT) 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?
[laughing] Come on.
[exhaling]
First time we got something new.
What's that? Time.
No deadlines anymore.
[tires screeching]
##[White Bird playing]
[waves crashing]
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.
[dog barking]
[phone beeping]
[phone ringing]
[sighing]
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.
[KITT humming]
[exhaling]
I love you, Stevie.
##[romantic music playing on car stereo]
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.
[waves crashing]
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.
##[romantic music playing on car stereo]
[seagulls cawing]
[plane engine humming]
[Klus chuckling]
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?
(KITT) 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?
(KITT) 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!
[Stevie screaming]
[plane engine whirring]
I'm sorry, Stevie.
[sighing]
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.
[sighing]
(KITT) 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?
(Devon) 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.
[birds chirping]
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.
Please.
[machine beeping]
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.
[sighing]
Devon, would you show Stevie the Foundation's garden?
Hmm?
Oh, yes, of course.
Stevie, would you come with me, please?
[door opening]
[door closing]
Bonnie, I wanna see KITT's view of what happened the day I was shot.
(KITT) Michael, it won't be pleasant.
I know that.
But I wanna see it.
Very well.
[gun firing]
KITT, transfer the image of the guy directly over me to another channel.
[monitor beeping]
There's an image.
(Michael) 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.
(Michael) 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.
[birds chirping]
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.
[people chattering]
(KITT) 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?
[people chattering]
[waves crashing]
[birds chirping]
Everything is just so perfect.
##[Wedding March playing]
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.
It is a token of my love and fidelity toward you.
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.
[chuckling] Yeah.
I would now like to introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Knight.
[all applauding]
[gun firing]
[women screaming]
[people chattering]
[gun firing]
Michael...
[panting]
Remember only how much I love you.
No, Stevie.
Stevie, no.
No.
[sobbing] Stevie.
[bell tolling]
[birds chirping]
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.
(Martoni) 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!
[tires screeching]
What do you think you're doing?
[groaning]
[grunting]
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!
[radio beeping]
That's Durant. That's him.
(Durant on radio) 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.
[groaning]
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.
[tires screeching]
All right, blank out the Foundation.
Keep them shut down. I want all channels to FLAG shut off.
(KITT) I don't believe what you're doing is right...
but I'll stay with you.
Thanks.
[tires screeching]
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.
[scanner clicking]
Come on, come on.
These rockets are being fired by those men on the tower.
[all screaming]
[groaning]
Michael, Michael, stop it!
You wouldn't be able to live with yourself!
[grunting]
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.
[seagulls cawing]
##[White Bird playing]
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.
[echoing] Forever.
(KITT) Where are we going, Michael?
We're going home, KITT.
To family.
We're going to the Foundation.
