Knight Rider (1982) s02e15 Episode Script

Let's do it, buddy! Somebody out there wants a | scapegoat and they've picked Ron.
But I'm no burglar | and I'm no killer.
Help him, please.
| He's got a prior.
MichaeI, look out! You're the one the | police are looking for.
There was nowhere | else to take him.
The whole town's | after him.
Hold it right there, son.
| Chief Rupert Craig.
I've got | no reason to run.
We've lit the fuse.
Now let's see | if anything explodes.
Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world | of a man who does not exist.
MichaeI Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion | the cause of the innocent, the helpIess, the powerless, in a world of criminals | who operate above the law.
"Just a still town girI | on a Saturday night.
"Lookin' for the fight | of her life.
"In the reaI-time world | no one sees her at all.
"They all say she's crazy.
"Locking rhythms | to the beat of her heart.
"Changing woman into life.
"She has danced into | the danger zone.
"When a dancer | becomes a dance.
"It can cut you | like a knife.
"If the gift becomes | the fire.
"On a wire between will.
Go! "She's a maniac, | maniac on the floor.
.
You know, KITT, sometimes I think I got the | best job in the whole world.
A lot of men would die | for duty like this.
You nearly have | on severaI occasions.
You're all heart, buddy.
MichaeI, my sensors | are picking up two obstacles heading | directly this way.
What kind of obstacles? That kind.
Let's do it, buddy! We've got to stop those guys | before they kill somebody.
Let's go, Mace"Go! MichaeI, my scanners indicate those maniacs | are splitting up.
I'm also picking up a siren | coming up behind us.
All right.
Might as well | leave them to the cops.
Besides, we got | an appointment to keep.
Hey! Nice car.
| Beautiful car, in fact.
Had her long? Not long.
Carmichael's the name, | auto alarms is the game.
Friends call me Manny.
| I hope you will, too.
Yeah, well, Manny, I hate | to stop you in midpitch, but I really don't think | I need an alarm system.
Well, if you'll just permit me | a little demonstration? I'll tell you what, | I've got an appointment, but you shoot | your best shot.
If you can break into this baby, | we'll do some business, okay? You got a deal.
Hello? Anyone home? Freeze! Cindy, call the police.
Aunt Marietta, put that | gun down this minute.
Marietta Mattheson.
Devon told me about you.
Devon sent you? | Why didn't you say so? Because somebody had | a shotgun in my back.
Oh, I see | what you mean.
Um, this is my niece, Cindy.
Hi, Cindy.
Hi.
Excuse us"It's just gotten | a little scary around here, and, uh, we're leery of | strangers on the weekend.
Yeah, so I hear.
| What's been going on? Filthy rotten | hoodlum bums.
Decent people | can't stay in business.
This used to be | a quiet, lovely town until these "weekend | warriors" started coming in.
That's when | the burglaries began.
We were hit | last Saturday night.
We can't even | clean the place up until the insurance company | checks it out item by item.
Who are these | "weekend warriors"? Cindy could | help you with that.
They're out-of-town | car clubs mostly.
They come in every weekend.
And you're convinced | they're the burglars.
My aunt is.
So is most of the town.
Cindy doesn't want to | believe it because her boyfriend | is one of them.
Nobody really knows | who it is.
Our police chief hasn't even | gotten close to an arrest yet.
Huh.
If this has been | going on for a while, it's kind of strange he | wouldn't ask for outside help.
Huh! Chief Craig has | been here for 35 years and he's never needed any.
If you don't mind, I'd | like to take a look around.
Can you point me in the direction | of these "weekend warriors"? I waitress over | at the Sunspot Club.
A lot of them hang out there.
And my boyfriend will be | there this afternoon.
Sounds good to me.
| When do we leave? I'll just grab a jacket.
Okay.
No luck, huh? Oh, hi"Back so soon? Uh, well, like I said, | I'm an amateur at this, but those pros, | 30 seconds.
Manny, I don't doubt | it for a minute.
But thanks anyway.
Hey, uh, look, I'm gonna be | in town for a couple of days.
I'd sure like another crack | at this baby, so, uh I'll catch you | later, huh? Uh, yeah.
Some car"Do you race? No.
| Not in the normal sense.
Watch TV? Uh, no.
You know, | from talking to Devon, I got the idea | this was a personal matter.
But from what I can see, | it seems much bigger.
Everyone's keeping it quiet.
| Trying to.
Crime's not | good for business.
But just because | it happens on the weekends, everyone automatically thinks | it's the car clubs.
Sounds like | you're pretty sure it isn't.
Well, I know it's not | Ron or The Rebels.
When I first met him I thought he had | an attitude problem.
But when I got to | know him, I- I realized he's not | what people think he is.
He's not anti-society or | anti-police or anti-anything.
He just likes cars | and he likes to race.
He's not involved, | Michael.
Believe me, | if he was, I'd know.
Whoa! Spoken like | a lady in love.
Is it that obvious? Only to a trained eye.
"Honey, take me | through the night.
"Breakdown, I'm standing | here, can you see?.
"Breakdown, it's all right.
"It's all right.
.
Your car is outrageous.
| I love it.
These cars aren't | too shabby either.
Whose car is that? Mace Beaudry.
| He's a local.
Wait till you see Ron's.
He restored it himself.
When did the car clubs | start coming to Vista Beach? About six months ago.
Nobody really knows exactly | why or how it started, but now | it's the thing to do.
They come from- Hey, Cindy, uh, I ordered a couple of turbo | burgers, got an ETA on 'em? Mace, I'm not even | working yet.
When did you order? Last night.
She's a great little dancer, but as a waitress | you could starve to death.
Play pool? Never before dark.
Didn't I see you out on | the road into town earlier? Could be.
You don't drive | a black hardtop, do you? Could be.
You really go for the | out-of-towners, huh, Cindy? You ought to try a little | home-grown once in a while.
Mace Beaudry.
I guess I should've | introduced you.
Well, we've already met, | in a manner of speaking.
I'll settle for Ron.
| Okay.
Boys and babies, | lords and ladies, a big hand for that song"Number | 18 this week with a bullet, here live from the Sunspot we | have Handsome Anson on KCPY! Your own club DJ? | I'm impressed.
Vista Beach's one and only | celebrity: Handsome Anson.
He's got | his own radio show.
Some things | never change, huh? You've been here before? No, not here, but this place reminds me | of myself about 10 years ago.
The clubs, the rap, | the turbo burgers, nothing changes | but the sideburns.
Cindy! I wait all week long | to see you, That'll teach you.
Ron, I want you to meet | Michael, Michael Knight.
Michael, | this is Ron.
How you doin'? | Good.
He's here to look | into the burglaries.
Here? Yeah"I thought I'd stop by | and look around.
See what's happening.
Yeah? What's happenin'? Wait a minute, | I'm not after you or Cindy.
So just relax.
Yeah, but it's | kind of hard to relax, when half the town looks at | you like you're Attila the Hun comin' in to kidnap the women | and burn the huts.
I didn't say that.
Yeah, but nobody says it.
But you're not out dusting for | prints somewhere, you're here.
If you don't think | it's us, or me, why here? Like I said, | I'm just looking around, man.
I got a few things to do.
| I'll see you later.
Ron, please.
It's okay"Maybe he | just needs a little time.
Where does he usually go | when he gets like this? I don't know.
He'll be at | the races tonight.
I can tell you where that is.
I think I already know.
Hi.
This your car, son? Yes, sir.
| Is there a problem? What's your name? Name's | Michael Knight.
You must be | Chief Craig, huh? I don't know | whether you've heard, Knight, but we've got a problem | with out-of-town drag racers.
Now you wouldn't be | a part of that, would you? No, sir.
| That's not my style.
I'm in town | on personal business, and then I'll be on my way.
That's good.
Because this car | kind of stands out.
It'll be real easy | to remember.
Enjoy your visit.
Thank you, sir.
MichaeI, there's something | I don't understand.
What is this drag racing | all about? Why is everyone | in such a hurry? It's competition, KITT.
You see who is the fastest, | who's the baddest.
The "baddest"? Ah, it's slang.
| It's an expression.
For racers, | it means "who's the best.
" The slang use of words | is beyond me.
However, as far as who is | fastest, that's simple"I am.
Yeah, I know.
But that's | between you and me.
Big hand | for that song right there, here live from the Sunspot with Handsome Anson | here on KCPY! "Some people | ain't no damn good.
"You can't trust 'em, | you can't love 'em.
"No good deed | goes unpunished.
"And I don't mind bein' | their whippin' boy.
"I've had that pleasure | for years and years.
MichaeI, it's one thing to have to hear that music | from my own speaker, but to be assaulted | from all sides.
I feeI like Custer | at Little Bighorn.
Hang in there, buddy, | this isn't your last stand.
I don't see Ron anywhere.
Okay"Scan the cars | and see what you can pick up.
"My picture | in the paper.
"Read the news | around my face.
"And now some people don't | want to treat me the same.
"When the walls | come tumblin' down.
"When the walls | come crumblin'.
Hi, guys.
I'm looking for Ron.
Ron Prescott.
Is he here? You want the top dog, | you gotta earn it.
Can this thing move? Oh, yeah.
| When there's a reason.
I don't consider | street racing a reason.
Just like I figured.
| All show, and no go.
You better move this thing, | we've got a race to run.
Not until I know where Ron is.
The heat! | Everybody meet at the pier! "Don't confuse the problem | with the issue girI.
"It's perfectly clear.
"Just a human desire | to have you come near.
Hold it right there, son.
We better talk.
I've got no reason to run.
I thought you said | you weren't a racer.
Now I find you out here.
I want an explanation.
Like I said, | personal business.
Well, Vista Beach is | my personal business.
I'm gonna run a make on | you and this car of yours.
And if I find | anything I don't like, I'm comin' after you.
"They're waiting outside | to claim my tumblin' walls.
"Saw my picture | in the paper.
"Read the news | around my face.
"And now some people don't | want to treat me the same.
"When the walls | come tumblin' down.
"When the walls | come crumblin', crumblin'.
"When the walls | come tumblin'.
"Down.
.
What have you got, Devon? We just received | a report from Vista Beach.
Last night wasn't | as quiet as you thought.
Another burglary? Yes"A jewelry store.
Well, looks like it isn't just | an isolated incident or two.
They're getting hit | every weekend.
We got more than we | bargained for here.
Apparently.
| They took some jewelry.
Quite a nice selection.
| All of the best quality.
By the way, what's this | I hear about a gang? Ah, just a bunch of | street racers.
I'm not saying | they're innocent, but they don't look | like diamond experts.
Looks can be deceiving.
Yeah, I hear you.
Punch in what you've | got on Ron Prescott.
P- R-E-S-C-O-T-T.
What do you know"A prior.
Breaking and entering.
Maybe I spoke too soon.
I wonder | if Cindy knows about this.
Who? Marietta's niece, Cindy.
| Ron's her boyfriend.
So, you met Marietta.
| How is she? My, she used to be quite | a fun-loving young lady.
Well, she's seasoned a bit.
Good.
The proper seasoning tends | to bring out the true flavors.
I'm looking forward to seeing | her again after all these years.
Well, KITT's all set.
The unit's | designated "Silent Mode.
" Push the activator and KITT's | engines become virtually noiseless.
MichaeI, I resent | being muzzled.
Hello? Right away.
It's Cindy"She needs you | back at the gallery right away.
She says it's urgent.
An amateur like me | can break into this car in 30 seconds"You know | what I'm talking about? MichaeI, that horrible man | is here again.
Chief Craig? The auto alarm salesman.
Hi there, | remember me? Listen, uh, I was thinking | about yesterday and, uh See, I was using | the wrong tools.
Now, this baby's what the pros | will pop you open with in 30 seconds.
Manny, | I'm telling you, buddy, you are wasting your time.
Look, | just give me a chance.
That's all I ask, huh? Well, uh Uh Cindy, what's going on? They've got a warrant | out for Ron's arrest.
What's the charge? The charge is | burglary.
Can they do that? I don't know"I'll see.
You again? Yeah, yeah, | it's me again.
What's the charge | against Ron? Do I see a badge | on that jacket? I don't need | a badge to ask a question.
Michael, | you were with Ron last night.
Tell him.
Cindy, | I wish I could, but I never caught up | with him last night"Sorry.
Well, that's too bad | for the boy.
Although I am not surprised.
You see, his car | was made leaving the scene | of the crime.
He's not here, Chief.
How's that "personal business" comin'? I'll let you know.
Michael, | he didn't do it.
He didn't | commit that burglary.
Now Chief Craig | thinks he did.
Cindy, I'm not | saying that he did, but the truth is the truth.
| I didn't see him last night.
Cindy, Devon sent Michael | here to help solve the crimes, not prove Ron innocent.
I happen to think | they're the same thing.
Look, I'll look around, | see what I can find out.
If Ron's innocent, I promise | you I'll help him prove it, okay? Tell Devon if | he stands me up, I'll never forgive him.
Oh, he'll be here.
It's okay"It's okay.
He was trying to | jimmy the door locks.
Says he knows you.
Hey, tell 'em, | tell 'em it's okay! It's okay, Chief"I know him.
Manny, | the door is open, buddy.
Now why are things | so tough for you, huh? Michael! I just got a call from Ron.
| He wants to talk to you.
That's a switch.
| Where is he? He found out | about the warrant.
He's hiding.
| Come on, I'll show you.
Wait a minute.
I think it's much better | if I go alone.
Just give me the location.
Half a mile south of | Glenrock Cliffs, off 19.
Michael, help him"Please.
I didn't mention this, | but he's got a prior.
So I heard.
You knew? | Why didn't you say anything? 'Cause I was | hoping you would.
We're here, MichaeI.
Okay"Scan the area | for any sign of Ron.
I've located him, MichaeI.
At two o'clock, | behind those trees.
Ron! It's me.
| It's Michael"Come on out.
I'm here"I'm alone.
You sure | you weren't followed? Positive.
You wanted me, | I'm here.
MichaeI, we're not alone.
Where? The cliffs above you.
I need you, buddy! MichaeI, MichaeI, | are you all right? I'll let you know | as soon as the smoke clears.
I'm okay"You all right? After surviving | that music last night, this was a piece of cake.
A vehicle is Just | leaving scanner range.
I imagine whoever was driving | threw the explosive.
I'll settle for | the guy who set me up.
Pop the sunroof.
| Let's get him! Okay, KITT, take over.
Hey, man, | what're you doing? They're getting away! I don't want them, I | want you"Why'd you do it? Do what? You set me up! I did not! | I swear I didn't.
Nobody else knew I was | comin' up here except Cindy.
I don't know.
| All I know is I wasn't there.
Michael, come on, | you gotta believe me.
Look, man, sometimes | I get hot, all right? I go out and race, | I get into a little trouble.
But I'm no burglar | and I'm no killer.
All right, then | who do you think did it? I don't know.
| I don't know.
That's what I was | trying to find- Let's go back to last night.
| The police said your car was made near the burglary.
| What about it? Craig knows my car, | he knows me.
Maybe it's getting | a little too hot for him.
I wasn't nowhere near there.
Where were you? I came up here! Hey, look, I just I needed some time to be | alone, and I needed to think.
Now, a few locals | know about this place, but it's kind of a secret.
Somebody else knew about it | the day they followed you.
Because nobody followed me.
What makes you so sure? KITT, were we followed? No, MichaeI.
Who's in there? Come on"Just get in.
| He doesn't bite.
What about my car? We'll pick up | your car later.
Right now | it's a dead giveaway.
Don't worry, I can black out | the windows if we have to.
You know, | I haven't exactly had a whole lot of people | believe in me before.
Why you? 'Cause there's | a terrific waitress with a real cute smile | who believes in you.
And one | other reason.
What's that? A long time ago, | somebody believed in me.
Far be it from me, | but don't you think you're tailgating | just a little too close? Come on, racer.
Thought you guys were | into living dangerously.
Whoa"I think | I'm hallucinating.
I've heard of pit | stops before but April, | say hello to Ron.
Hello.
| It's nice to meet you.
Ron Prescott, | April Curtis.
She takes care of KITT.
A mechanic"Right.
Now I know I'm hallucinating.
So, you're the one | the police are looking for.
I thought I'd leave him here with you | and Devon while I check things out.
But Devon's | not here.
He's gone | to see Marietta.
Uh, Michael, could I speak | with you a second, please? Excuse us.
Michael, do you really think | this is a good idea? What else could I do? There was nowhere else to take | him"The whole town's after him.
Well, did you check | this with Devon? No, no, I didn't have time.
| Relax, it's Foundation business.
Hey, listen, Michael, I | don't wanna cause any trouble.
Look, it's all set.
| You can lay low here.
Hey, look"I appreciate | what you're doin', but you've stuck your neck out | far enough already.
Drop me at county line | and I'll just pull a fade.
What about Cindy? Well, I'm starting to think | she'll be better off without me.
You'll never | convince her of that.
Now I brought you here because I | believed you're innocent"Are you? Yeah, but- No "buts.
" If you're innocent, | you don't run.
Now maybe pulling a fade | has been a solution to your problems in the past.
But you gotta stop | running sometime.
Now, if you want to | stop here and now, I'll help you"All right? Okay"What do we do? Your buddies, | will they be racing tonight? I doubt it.
| The heat's just too heavy.
I gotta get them out on the | street to test a theory of mine.
And I think I know | just the way to do it.
See you guys later, huh? | Straight ahead.
KITT, did you access | those police reports? Yes, MichaeI.
Each night | a burglary occurred, there was also | a racing incident which took | the police out of town.
The timing's amazing.
Whoever's behind this | has a way of knowing when a race is happening.
Intentional or not, | I've got a feeling they're a smokescreen | for the burglaries.
MichaeI, if you don't | mind I'd like to know what this plan of yours is, since I have a feeling | I'm going to be involved.
Very simple, KITT.
I'm just gonna | stimulate a little action and hopefully create some | itchy fingers around town.
You got a problem, Chief? It seems like | everywhere I go, you're breathing down | my neck.
Have I broken any laws? Good question.
I just got a reply on | that make I ran on you and according to that, you've never even had | a traffic ticket.
No one's ever heard of you, | FBl, state police, no one.
That's kind of strange, | don't you think? Now why don't you start by | telling me who you really are? I can see why you're having | trouble with those robberies.
You spend all your time | harassing innocent people.
I wanna know what | an invisible man like you is doing with two-bit trash | like Ron Prescott? If you're gonna arrest me, | I'd like to know the charge.
If not, I'm out of here.
"All your life | you've never seen a woman.
"Taken by the wind.
"Would you stay.
Michael, did you find him? | Is he all right? Yeah, he's okay"Safe and | sound for the time being.
You just go | about your business.
There's a few things | I wanna take care of.
"Rhiannon.
.
I'm glad I found you turkeys.
I thought you'd be | out of town by now.
Clear out, man.
| You're not welcome here.
Where's the top dog hidin'? Changed my mind.
I want to meet him | on the drag strip, you know, eyeball to eyeball.
With that no-go you got, | you gotta be kidding.
Oh, I have to earn my shot | at the top dog? Well, I'll tell you what.
| I'll run against all of you, one at a time.
| Anytime tonight.
There's just one problem.
We're not running tonight.
Not until we find Ron.
I heard there was | some action in this town.
I guess I was wrong.
You want action, | smart mouth, you got it.
You meet me at the pier tonight | at 11:00"We'll take it from there.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Make it mellow, lads.
You know the heat's on.
I can take it"Can you? And I can't wait.
I'm telling you"He's framed.
| The kid is innocent.
He's a fugitive | from the law.
He's wanted | by the police.
Now the law is | what we're all about.
What about justice? You sent me out here to stop these | burglaries"To catch the people involved.
Somebody out there | wants a scapegoat and they've picked Ron.
Now the real burglars | are laying low and let him take their rap | unless we do something about it.
Nobody's arguing that point.
But in keeping Ron here, we're jeopardizing our own | ability to continue our work.
I understand the sensitive | position it puts us in.
"Sensitive?" "Sensitive" is | hardly the word.
"Culpable" is more like it.
What do you want me to do? | Kick him out? Tell him I'm real sorry, Ron, | but when push comes to shove, we're more interested | in covering our own tails.
You've made your point, | Michael.
Now let me make mine.
You have until noon tomorrow | to close this case.
If, by that time, | you're not successful, I'll be forced to hand Ron | over to the authorities.
"We are strong.
"No one can tell us | we're wrong.
"Searchin' our hearts | for so long.
Hey! Hey, let's | keep it down, okay? I don't want the heat getting | here before Knight does.
It's 11.
:05, MichaeI.
How long do you think | we'll have to wait? I don't know, KITT.
But there's no way | you can put together a crowd of street racers | on a Saturday night and not have some action.
Whether we show up or not.
I hope you're right.
Just in case I am, punch up a graphic of | the streets, will you? Per your request.
All right, | we've lit the fuse.
Now let's just sit back | and see if anything explodes.
"Or am I the best thing | you've had?.
.
He's not showing.
I wouldn't be surprised if | he set us up to get us busted.
It's 11:17 at the big KCPY.
It's a Saturday night and yours truly is | feeling all right! And now, from me to you, | special delivery: Crumblin' Down.
"Some people | ain't no damn good.
"You can't trust 'em, | you can't love 'em.
"No good deed | goes unpunished.
"And I don't mind bein' | their whippin' boy.
"I've had that pleasure | for years and years.
"No, no.
The cops! | I was right.
Let's go | find that sucker.
"And time respects no person, | what you lift up must fall.
"They're waiting outside.
"And now some people don't | want to treat me the same.
.
Really, MichaeI, you'd think | of all the music in the world, they could find a better piece | than that monstrosity.
I'm picking up | a burglar alarm activated on the west side.
I think we've trapped | a live one"Let's go! I'm afraid we're too late.
Whoever was in there | is already off my scanner.
We were so close.
KITT, | analyze these tire tracks.
They're still warm, MichaeI.
Made by a vehicle | accelerating, not stopping.
And I detect traces | of clay in the tires.
Clay? | Like at Glenrock Cliffs? Affirmative.
MichaeI, | I think we have company.
You're too late, guys.
| They're gone.
Open the trunk of the car.
| Now.
All right"All right.
KITT.
It's clean.
You think if I was | involved in the robbery, I'd wait here for you? Let me tell you | something, Knight.
I'm sick and tired | of outsiders treating my town like their | private playground.
And that includes you.
I'm after | the same thing you are.
I don't believe that.
Now I'm giving you 12 hours to | finish up your "personal business" and be out of this town.
And after that, I am coming | after you and I am busting you.
If I have to | bust you for having your shoestrings untied, | I'm gonna do it.
And if you get bailed out, | I'm gonna throw you back and find | something that'll stick.
Now that's a promise.
| You got that? Yeah.
Yeah, I got it.
I don't know, KITT.
There's got to be | something I'm missing.
MichaeI, | you've been analyzing this over and over again.
I'm afraid | I'm gonna burn out a circuit.
Wait a minute, | that song, Crumblin' Down, it was on the air when the burglar alarm | went off.
The only other time | I heard that song was up with the street racers which was when | the last burglary took place.
I don't think | I understand the correlation.
If there is one.
I think there is.
KITT, access | the airplay logs to KCPY and cross-reference | them with the times | the police were called to bust up the drag racing.
Okay"Now superimpose | the dates of the burglaries.
That's it! | Instant communication.
The cops are called to | bust the drag racers, the song is played, and the burglars strike.
| All right! Let's go shake the tree | and see who falls out.
All right.
Got it straight? Yes, MichaeI.
I hope this plan works | better than the last one.
It better.
| It's our last shot.
As soon as I get in there, | pal, start recording.
This is Gary Spurley | on the Gospel Hour here at KCPY.
And now, three songs of love | and inspiration, written by Andre Crouch.
Why don't you play | Crumblin' Down? Or isn't the timing right? I don't know what you're | talking about, brother.
This is the Gospel Hour.
You know exactly | what I'm talking about.
You want to tell it to me or you want to | wait for the police? Nice try, Knight.
| The police are already here.
Well, what do you know? I figured there had to be | somebody on the inside.
I didn't think | it was a crooked cop.
It's right out of | a "B" movie, huh? Small-town cop | on the take.
That's too bad, man.
Because being a real cop | is not a bad life.
I know.
Don't preach to me | you long-legged punk.
I have been a reaI cop.
You can't live on that | for the rest of your life.
Not when half the slime | you've put away have got condos in Hawaii.
So what's a little | stolen property? I deserve it.
Let's get this | over with.
Take him to the Cliffs.
| Do it right this time.
Move it! KITT, follow me.
Come on out.
It's the end of | the line for you, big boy.
Beautiful sunrise.
I hate to think | it's my last.
So what's the story, Mace? I handcuffed myself | from behind and jumped? That's gonna be | a pretty tough one to sell.
Hey, Mace, behind you.
You think I'd fall | for that old trick? Don't say I didn't warn you.
Please help"Help me! You were right, MichaeI.
"Silent Mode" does | have its advantages.
Very nice work, KITT.
Hey! I can't hold on any longer.
I don't want to die! All right, spell it out then.
All the details.
| Out loud"Now.
Okay, just | get me up first! A little more pressure, KITT.
Come on, man, help! Use the grappling hook, | buddy.
Right now.
I can't hold on! | Come on, help me.
From the beginning.
Chief Craig scouted | the hits during the week.
He'd tell Anson.
| Anson gave me the target.
They'd wait for the weekend | and the street racers.
When Chief Craig | went after the racers, Anson played Crumblin' Down and I'd do the job.
That's it? | You get that, KITT? Loud and clear.
Okay, buddy, pull him up.
You okay? Yeah.
Good.
There he goes.
I've got a speeder | on 18 heading east.
Black hardtop, | license K-N-I-G-H-T.
Wait a second.
| Make that four speeders.
Request assistance.
| Let's go.
All units! All units! Move to pursue black hardtop.
Consider driver | armed and dangerous.
Stop him, boys.
I'm afraid we've attracted | attention, MichaeI.
KITT, how close | do we need to be to the radio station | to broadcast? The closer the better.
All right.
Then let's deliver it | right to their doorstep.
MichaeI, | we're within range.
Okay, pal"Do your stuff.
And now | a speciaI news announcement.
Police Chief Rupert Craig and radio personality | Handsome Anson James confessed today to | being the masterminds behind the recent string | of weekend warrior burglaries.
In his own words, | Chief Craig said.
: "So what's wrong with | a little stolen property? I deserve it" He's stepping | on our frequency.
There's nothing | I can do.
Suspect Ron Prescott | was cleared by the confession of locaI | mechanic Mace Beaudry, the actuaI burglar.
It's a lie"It's a lie! | Don't listen! Freeze! | Chief, you're under arrest.
Just wrapped up that | "personal business.
" Got it, Chief? Cuff him, J.
T.
I think you'll find | Handsome Anson inside.
Hey, I'm sorry I missed | the race last night.
But I thought clearing your | buddy Ron was more important.
Sure"Maybe next time.
You got it"Later.
And now, | back to the GospeI Hour.
How was that, MichaeI? Perfect, buddy.
| But, you know, now that Handsome Anson's | off the air, maybe you'd take a little | crack at some rock 'n' roll.
Perish the thought.
And then there was the time | it was raining so hard, you had to spend the night | in my mother's den.
Do you remember that? As I recall, | I had pneumonia.
Oh, no, | you were in very good health.
I propose a toast.
| To Michael Knight.
Yes.
| To Michael Knight.
Michael.
Thank you.
| Thank you.
Michael, | if it wasn't for you, I don't know what | we would've done.
It's true.
| You saved my bacon.
If there's ever | anything I can do for you Well, there is one thing.
Why don't you try your drag | racing at the race track? You get trophies | instead of tickets.
There's a rumor around that the radio | station wanted to hire KITT as their regular newsman.
Well, they're gonna have to hire | somebody now that Anson's in jail.
Oh, yeah, | which reminds me.
I got to get to | the DA's office by 4:00 to deliver those tapes | on Craig's confessions.
See you.
Michael.
This one's from me.
I don't care | what Ron says.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
Hiya, Mike.
| 30 seconds, and these are the guys | who can prove it.
These are | real professionals.
Sorry, Manny.
| The deal is off.
You've convinced me having | a car is too much trouble.
I'm gonna get myself a moped.
Moped, indeed.
Uh, Mike.
| Mike, Mike, come back! I brought these guys | in special from LA.
I got to pay them! Mike! Mike!
