Knight Rider (1982) s03e21 Episode Script

Knight Strike

Michael, we're locked | into a laser tracking system.
A truckload of confiscated weapons | was stolen from a police warehouse.
The weapons included | two laser rifles.
l want to find out | if he really belongs here.
There are truck tracks going | in.
No truck tracks going out.
Only one direction left.
| Up? Go! 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.
Excuse me.
Can l help you? l'm looking | for Capt.
O'Mally.
Sure.
| lf you have a pass.
Yeah.
l'll get it.
Got it.
We got them.
Go.
Go.
Hey.
Hey! Well, Michael, | we're almost home.
Don't say that too loud.
With any luck we'll get there | before Devon calls.
He does seem to have | an uncanny knack in that area.
"Uncanny" is one way of | putting it.
Perverse is another.
I wouldn't go that far, | Michael.
Devon is calling.
| Speak of the devil.
I beg your pardon? Devon, it's just a figure | of speech.
What's up? A truckload of confiscated weapons | was stolen from a police warehouse.
The weapons included | dozens of H and K 9mm automatics | and two laser rifles.
Laser rifles? Devon, in the wrong hands they | could create a lot of problems.
Precisely.
You said they were stolen | from the police warehouse.
That makes it police business, | doesn't it? Ordinarily, yes.
But one | of the thieves, a woman had a pass issued by | a police captain, Tom O'Mally.
Internal Affairs wants an | independent investigation.
He's a survivalist.
There's going to be a convention | at the Dune Drifter this weekend.
Keep me posted, Michael.
Yeah, l'll keep you posted.
| Got you, though.
You were right, Michael.
Uncanny, isn't it? | I was thinking of "perverse.
" Paging Mr.
Ewing.
| Front desk, please.
Here you are, Mr.
Knight.
Mr.
Knight.
| Oh.
Here you are.
| Suite 37.
The Mirrored Grotto.
| Mirrored Grotto.
Sounds perfect.
Your basic | survival suite, huh? Listen, l'm looking | for an old buddy of mine.
His name is O'Mally.
| Tom O'Mally.
He check in yet? Yes, he certainly has.
He's quite a character.
| Yeah, l know.
Any idea where | he's hunting today? Try the banquet hall.
The automatic | weapons display.
Her name's Sheila.
| Thank you.
Quite a display, | isn't it, gentlemen? You could say that again, | sweet cakes.
As you can see, the HK MP5 is a fully automatic weapon.
That oozes | more firepower per dollar than any other automatic | assault rifle in the world today.
Say that again, | "oozes.
" Well, if there aren't any questions, | l guess we'll break for lunch.
Thank you | for your interest.
Excuse me, Sheila.
| l'd like to ask you something.
To tell you the truth, l really | don't know anything about guns.
l mean, last show | l worked l washed my hair 25 times a day | for a shampoo convention.
Next week it could be Bibles.
Who knows? l see what you mean.
Actually, l'm trying to find a | guy with the name of Tom O'Mally.
Some of the guys back there | said that you might know him.
Oh, yeah, Tom.
Everybody knows him.
At least all the girls.
| He's quite a character.
So l hear.
Any idea | where l could find him? Hey! Don't worry.
| lt's only a game.
A game? He's bleeding.
| No, no, no.
That's only paint.
Ever hear of | the East Orange Ambush Club? They're in a war | with Ventura County.
Whenever one member | spots another it's draw and fire.
| No questions asked.
Nice pistol you got there.
Yeah, it is.
Good and handy.
| Good balance.
That's what l hear.
| Mind if l take a look? Go ahead.
| Thank you.
lt's nice.
| lt's real nice.
l'd sure like to get one of | these.
Where'd you buy yours? Bought it from her.
| That girl who was here.
Was? You gotta keep them on a | leash these days.
Yeah, here.
Come on, l think l owe | you a beer.
You got it.
KlTT, give me a check | on serial number XJ73726.
It's one of the weapons stolen | from the police warehouse.
Thanks, pal.
You got to be kidding.
Kidding? | Do l look like l'm kidding? Sheila, selling stolen | property is a felony.
People do time for felonies.
| Serious time.
Felony? Gosh, you make it | sound so serious.
lt is serious.
Those pistols were | stolen from a police warehouse.
l didn't steal anything.
| l swear.
Hey do l look like | a thief to you? l don't go by looks | and neither do the police.
Now l'm gonna ask you again, | where'd you get that pistol? l found it.
l did.
| Don't look at me like that.
l found a whole | bunch of them.
Where? Okay.
On my way here.
| l was hitchhiking.
And this guy, well, | he started to get fresh, so so l started walking.
l took a shortcut through these trees and | there was this big truck hidden in there.
lt was full of guns.
Do you believe me? l'm working on it.
You want to take me there? | Sure.
Just let me change first.
| No.
Last time a woman in your spot told me | that, it took me three days to find her.
Then you've been hanging out | with the wrong kind of people.
l'm not that kind of girl.
All right.
| Five minutes.
Mmm, ten.
Ten.
Oh, very funny.
Well, you did it again.
Keep out of this, Martha.
| Let me handle it, will you? Oh, no.
| Just what I don't need.
Hey! Why don't you look | where you're going? I haven't moved an inch.
l heard that.
Everybody thinks just 'cause you're a | senior citizen your ears are gonna drop off.
Not mine, buddy.
l think l got whiplash! Whiplash my CPU.
Hey, hey, hey.
What's that? | You calling my wife names? What did he call me, Edgar? He's got a foul tongue, | sweetheart.
Oh, dear.
| Excuse me.
Can l help you? Are you with this car? Yeah.
| Yeah, l am.
ls something wrong? You bet there's something | wrong.
Your pal here just hit me.
He hit you? l don't chew | my cabbage twice.
Yeah, well, don't worry | about a thing.
l'm insured.
Yeah, well, l have heard | that one before.
My name's Michael Knight.
l'm registered here at the | hotel.
l got to run a few errands.
l'll be back | in just a little while.
We'll straighten | everything out.
Yes, well, | you better had 'cause l'm gonna take down | your license number, buddy.
Help yourself.
| Martha.
Michael, that man is lying.
Not now, KlTT.
Did you say something? | Clearing my throat.
Yes.
Never should have let him get away, | Edgar.
Oh, will you hush up, please.
N-l-G-H-T.
Night.
l got it.
Okay.
Turn right here.
lt should be | right down this road.
You said that | three turns back.
Well, l was walking then.
Things | look different when you walk.
There it is.
lt's right | between those trees.
I did not strike | that man's car.
Oh, not now, KlTT.
| Please, not now.
Okay, this is | definitely it now.
See, what did | l tell you? l don't believe this.
Michael, l'm not lying.
| That truck was here.
Go! Get down! Get down! All right.
Stay low.
| Get in.
Go on.
All right, hit it.
| l want that guy.
I'm sorry, Michael.
But he's on a back | road.
We can't get there from here.
You don't believe me.
There are truck tracks going | in.
No truck tracks going out.
There's no hole where | the truck could be buried.
No tracks to the left.
To the right.
Or down.
Only one direction left.
Up? | Up.
Could have been | a helicopter.
All right.
Where's O'Mally? | Look, l told you.
Hey, wait a minute.
He did tell me he would never miss | the shooting competition.
All right.
| Let's do it.
You stay put.
You're late.
Father, when l look good, | l think good.
l got the lasers for us, | didn't l? We wouldn't have a shot | at that platinum without them.
Were you trying | to call my room? No, that was Rawleigh.
ls he too drunk again to get rid of | the tire tracks that he was supposed to? No.
There were a couple of people out | where the truck was.
Nosing around.
Police? One's a pitch girl | working the convention.
The other one's a guy | that's looking for O'Mally.
They're headed on back in.
| Now look we better stay put.
Right here.
Till tomorrow.
| Till it's time.
Father.
The army | made you a worrier.
The convention's a perfect cover | for our equipment and our practice.
That's why we're here.
l know, l know.
| But what about those people? Whoever and whatever | they are we're not going to let them | interfere with us.
We'll check them out.
But we're not going | to change our timetable.
Reload for rapid fire.
Everybody knows O'Mally | but nobody's seen him.
And l looked everywhere.
Not | everywhere or we'd have him.
Just keep looking.
Commence rapid fire.
Now, let's see | if we can find Rawleigh.
Yeah, all right.
That's the end of round one.
Excuse me.
Nice weapon you're wearing | there.
lsn't that a HK P79mm? Yeah, sure is.
You really know your weapons, | mister Knight.
Michael Knight.
My name is Jastrow.
| Lyle Jastrow.
Your friends are here.
My what? The two that were nosing | around the truck before.
The lady over there and the guy | with the extra long pants talking to your old man.
Mind if l ask you something? Why | don't you ask and then l'll decide.
Are you up here to involve | yourself in this convention or are you one of those folks that's | come up here to point and snicker at us? Or maybe you're some reporter | who's looking to sell an article about those | "weirdo survivalists?" Now calm down, Daddy.
l'm Tyler.
lt's a very, very touchy | subject with him.
l guess he couldn't | help noticing that you're not exactly | dressed for the events.
Oh, this? When l got in from LA l found | out my bags went to Honolulu.
l didn't want to miss | any of this so l met this little lady and | she said she'd show me around.
You wouldn't happen to know a guy with | the name of Tom O'Mally, would you? No.
He in the competition? | No, no, l checked.
Are you? l would be, but my guns went the | way of my bags.
l'm out of it now.
Well, l just happen to have | a beautiful HK PSG1 sniper that l could loan you.
Oh, l appreciate that, | but l couldn't do that.
Well l don't know any man who's | really into guns who wouldn't.
Well, in that case, | l'd love to fire a few rounds.
KlTT, l need some windage.
Elevation calculations right | away.
Give me some numbers.
I detect a sense of urgency | in your voice, Michael.
At that distance, Michael, | I'd try elevation up two left windage, one klick.
Thank you.
Shooters, ready! Commence firing.
Reload for rapid fire.
Ladies and gentlemen, target | number one, Michael Knight.
Three bull's-eyes! Ewing on target number two.
| Two bull's-eyes.
Three at ten.
l played along with him when | he said the magic word, O'Mally.
But you mind telling me why you | snookered him into the competition? 'Cause it was his nose poking around | the grove where we hid the truck.
l want to find out | if he really belongs here.
Commence firing.
Ladies and gentlemen Mr.
Michael Knight | on target number one.
Ten in the bull's-eye.
Shooters, ready the line | for pistol fire.
Congratulations.
You two really got along.
| Thanks.
Fine weapon.
Smooth action | and beautifully finished.
Well it takes the sensitive hands and | coordination of a marksman to really give it life.
And some luck.
| Nothing quite like that.
How do l thank you? Say about 7:00.
| ln the lobby? l'll plan an itinerary.
| l'll be there.
Shooters, ready! Commence firing.
Can l ask you a question? Those guns you found, you said | you sold only one, right? What's the difference what l | say? You don't believe me anyway.
Sheila, it's important.
l only sold that one.
Honest.
Okay, okay.
| l had to be sure.
And l keep answering | the same thing.
Now why do you want | to know about the guns? Because Jastrow had one | on his hip.
Same model.
They're not all that common.
| Oh.
l thought it had something | to do with that girl.
You know, the princess.
You sure perked up when she granted | you the honor of her company tonight.
Well, she was very attractive | and she was very, very nice to me.
So what am l, | chopped liver? You guys are all the same.
You drive a jazzy custom car, | blow-dry your hair and your eyes | never stop wandering.
l just want a guy who who's dependable personable and bankable.
| Am l making myself clear? Look, Sheila, l think | they're called "husbands.
" Yeah, l think so, too.
And that's why l keep moving | and keep looking.
Sometimes my moves | are faster than my income.
That's why l sold that gun.
How much did you get | for the gun anyway? $80.
l'm wearing it.
| lt's the blouse.
And there goes my sermon.
We did very well | at the competition didn't we, Michael? Yes, we did, partner.
Get me Devon, will you? Hello, Michael.
I assume you're calling to | tell me that you've tracked down O'Mally.
No.
Why would you | assume that? Well, my data | clearly indicates that.
Everyone knows O'Mally.
Is it possible that you've | taken a wrong turn somewhere? No sir.
This is the place.
Someone here has seen the truck and | l've turned up two of those automatics.
Good work, Michael.
| And the lasers? Nothing yet on the lasers.
| But, look, l got some ideas.
Have Bonnie check out a man | named Jastrow.
Lyle Jastrow.
And his daughter named Tyler.
Do both pertain to business | or just the father? l'm hoping you can tell me.
| See you, Devon.
KlTT, you can help me, too.
Keep your scanners peeled for Jastrow | while l'm checking out these events.
Anything specific I should | be looking for Michael? No, but l got a feeling his daughter | cooked up this little itinerary just to keep me busy.
You're going to be | a lot busier than you think.
No way, buddy.
| l'm out of here.
Oh, Martha.
There it is! ls he in the car? l don't know, sweetheart.
| We'll soon find out.
Why don't I like the sound | of that? Let go of my door, please.
Open up, | l got the estimate here.
For what? | To fix my car.
Calling that a car is | an insult to auto technology.
Listen, friend, you hit me, | and you're gonna pay for it.
Replace rear cracked window.
Repair dings.
| Recover the roof.
Right front fender.
Replace bumper.
Trunk lid.
Wheels covers, | prime and paint.
$4,681.
You'll have to forward your bill to | The Foundation for Law and Government.
"Law and Government"? | Right.
Don't let him bluff you, | Edgar.
Get in the car, Martha.
| Come on.
Yeah, KlTT, l'm in the lobby.
| Keep it low.
Jastrow and another man | are leaving the hotel.
Keep them located.
| l'm on my way.
Michael, you have an | appointment with Tyler Jastrow.
Yeah, l know.
Her timing is all | too convenient.
Stall her.
Will you? How? She's on the fifth floor.
l don't | think she likes to walk the stairs.
We're almost there, Michael.
I've pinpointed the Land Rover | behind the hill on our right, Michael.
Keep an eye on me, | will you, pal? lt's a laser, partner.
| You see that? Yes.
According to my data it uses a highly advanced | mega laser.
They'll pop through steel | the same way.
Well, l'm going to use it on | Rawleigh if he doesn't show up soon.
l told him where and when but he's | always late.
What's his problem? Booze.
Michael, | there's a vehicle approaching.
Jastrow! You got company! He's running down the hill | behind you.
Cut him off.
KlTT.
l need you.
Right away, Michael.
Good work, buddy.
Now let's give them | a taste of their own.
Say no more, Michael.
Well done, Michael.
Fletcher, | hit him with the laser! Michael, we're locked into | a laser tracking system.
Let's get out of here! Michael, they've knocked out | my scanner.
All right, let's see | how bad things are.
Other than the scanner, it | doesn't appear to be too serious.
Easy for you to say.
Surely you | don't plan another confrontation.
Oh, yes, l do.
Please, Michael.
| But not today.
Get me Bonnie.
KlTT, does that feel better? I feel like a new vehicle, | Bonnie.
Thank you.
Did you find anything out | there besides the laser guns? Unless l miss my guess, | that's all Jastrow wanted.
Pistols were just chaff.
Any idea what he's up to? No.
Whatever it is, it's big.
Perhaps I can shed | a little light on the subject.
Devon.
l'm all ears.
According to my sources Jastrow is a zealous patriot | who became disenchanted when he was passed over | for promotion.
So now he's trying to promote | himself, huh? Anything on his daughter? Only that she's been to some | of the finest schools in Europe.
Was expelled from most of them | for militant behavior.
She has very expensive tastes | and an unusually high IQ.
And according to Michael, | she also has an exotic taste.
Devon, those laser guns tell me | whatever they've got in mind they're planning | to outdo themselves.
Now l need | some more information.
Jastrow's an expert | helicopter pilot.
He's booked a flight | on a commercial carrier which leaves from | the international airport at noon tomorrow.
Doesn't give us much time, | does it? Or him.
Look.
At least we know whatever | he's up to is happening before lunch.
What have you got in mind? l think l'll rattle Jastrow's | cage and see what crawls out.
Be careful, Michael.
| This may backfire.
By the way, | have you located O'Mally yet? Devon, this guy's harder | to find than a chameleon.
But l'll find him.
| Don't you worry.
l'll keep you posted.
Looking for anyone special? Maybe.
Why? Just curious.
Can l buy you a drink? Thanks, but l don't drink.
Really? Good.
Confirms what l thought | when l first met you.
What are you talking about? | Well, l'm talking about you.
A lady who knows what she wants.
| And is determined to get it.
You know, l don't think | l like this conversation.
Well, maybe this will | change your mind.
lt's $10,000.
You'll never have to | hitchhike again.
How did you know | l hitchhike? l l did a little | checking on you.
Don't be alarmed.
lt was for a very, | very good cause.
Oh, really? | And what cause is that? You and Michael Knight.
lf you think l'd do anything | to hurt Michael Knight you're absolutely wrong.
Who said anything | about hurting anyone? All l'm talking about is keeping him busy for a | few hours tomorrow morning.
That's not too much | to ask for $10,000.
ls it? Michael.
Michael, l've been looking | all over for you.
Sorry, Sheila, but it's gonna | have to wait.
lt's about Jastrow.
What about him? l overheard this guy Rawleigh in the | bar and he said something about Jastrow and O'Mally | meeting this morning.
So, the mysterious Capt.
O'Mally | is finally showing his colors? What did he say? They were going to go | someplace called Vasquez Canyon.
That's great.
l'll find him.
| Wait.
l want to go with you.
No, no, no.
| That's not a good idea.
Please, Michael.
| l'm scared.
l feel better when l'm | with you than here alone.
All right.
Jump in.
Plot me the fastest course | to Vasquez Rocks.
Right away, Michael.
There they go.
The little ding-a-ling | pulled it off.
Yeah, and Rawleigh and Fletcher | will be waiting on them.
Why do you want Jastrow | so bad? Who is he? Let's just say l work in support of law | and government.
Jastrow works against them.
Good guys and bad guys? | Yeah.
But don't leave | the ladies out.
By the way if l haven't told you, | you've been a real big help.
Somebody once said that: "Good girls finish last.
" Not the ones l know.
You all set? This ought to slow him down.
| Slow him down? We got enough explosives | on both ends of this tunnel to bring half | the mountain down on him.
Listen, we got time.
Let's | check our equipment once more.
Okay, you want | the front or the rear? l'll take the back entrance and l'll | come up and catch up with you later.
Michael, what do you think | of me as a person? l mean what do you really think | of me as a person? You want to discuss | this now? We're doing a 120 | on a curving mountain road and you want | to discuss this now? l need to know now.
Please, Michael.
We'll discuss it later.
| After we meet O'Mally.
lt'll be too late then.
You'll probably | never talk to me again.
All right.
You've been wanting to tell me | something for a long time.
Now we are running out of time, | so why don't you tell me right now? Okay.
O'Mally isn't going to be | in Vasquez Canyon.
And neither are the guns.
How much did Jastrow | pay you to set me up? lt was his daughter | and it was for $10,000.
You've got to be thinking that | something is wrong with it or you wouldn't be | telling me now.
Yeah, you're right.
l'm thinking there's | something wrong with me.
You have to understand.
That money it was a chance for me to change | everything in my whole life.
To be able to to eat normally while l was | learning to type or or paint houses | or do anything.
And, if not that, to well, to retire my thumb | and buy some bus tickets.
l'm sorry, Michael.
l'm grateful you told me.
You are? Yes, l am.
Now get out.
Would you make up your mind? l did, get out.
| l'm still going in.
Then l'm going with you.
| No, you're not.
Yes, l am, and don't you | try to argue with me.
This is different.
l've never had to wrestle | my way into a car before.
l guess you're as safe in KlTT | as any place else you go.
All right, let's do it.
The canyon's on the other side | of this tunnel, buddy.
Stay tuned, partner.
Stay | tuned.
Right, Michael.
He's in the tunnel.
| Ten-four.
All right, Rawleigh, hit it.
They've sealed off | both ends of the tunnel, Michael.
| We're trapped.
ls he saying | we're buried alive? Let's shed some light on it | before we panic here.
Sure looks that way.
| KlTT, give me a readout.
There are 90.
8 tons of dirt | blocking the front.
More in the rear.
Could be | too much for us, Michael.
Michael, is he saying | we're going to die? A car is telling me | l'm gonna die.
Hang on.
All right.
| l'm backing up to the end.
See if we got enough room | for maximum turbo boost.
We'd be traveling 247 miles | per hour when we hit the wall.
l'm getting out- | l wouldn't do that.
Our impact could bring the | whole mountain down on you.
How's our communications, | KlTT? Too much mineral content in the | tunnel creating interference, Michael.
All right.
We're on our own.
| We go for it.
Hey, don't l get a vote? Yeah, yeah.
| lt's two against one.
I'm at full power, Michael.
| All right.
Let her rip! Way to go, partner! KlTT, you are awesome! Thank you, but I'm afraid the | jolt knocked out several circuits.
Check your radar.
It appears functional.
| What am I looking for? Devon said Jastrow leased a | chopper.
See if you can pick it up.
Michael, he could be anywhere.
He | could be hundreds of miles from here.
No, he can't.
The flight he booked | leaves in an hour and a half.
We're at least | an hour to the airport.
So the target has got to be within | a half hour's driving radius for those Rovers | to make it on time.
I have one, Michael.
About 20 | miles north of our location.
Okay.
Check the area for | structures that contain something of great value.
| Mints, banks, museums.
Good, good.
Now punch up the one with no | overhead wires to interfere with a chopper.
The Anderson Precious | Metals Depository? Terrific.
| Okay, lady, out.
Wait a minute, you said- No arguments, you put your thumb | to work.
You find a phone you call FLAG headquarters.
| Ask for Devon Miles.
Tell him l may need him | for a backup.
Just in case.
Okay.
| Be careful.
Please.
See you later? | Count on it.
Okay, let's go get ourselves | a chopper, pal.
Hey, stop! Stop! Please, l've got | to make a phone call.
Rawleigh.
Fletcher.
I'm on my final approach.
Split up.
Move into | your firing positions.
Got you.
| We read you.
The helicopter should | be here in three minutes.
What's our ETA? | One minute, seven seconds.
Jastrow, this is Rawleigh.
| I'm in position.
This is Fletcher.
Me, too.
He's here sooner than | scheduled.
What's he doing? Fletcher.
| Take out the transmitter.
Go.
That's not our chopper.
| He's coming in.
Open fire.
Rawleigh, take out | the central control system.
Go! Go.
We're running out of time, | pal.
I'll give you all the power | I have, Michael.
l'll take it.
Fletcher, | target in on that T-top.
Whoa! | They found a new target! Can you micro-jam | their firing mechanisms? No, but I may be able to | close their induction vents.
I think you'll find | the result satisfactory.
Nice going, buddy.
Okay, KlTT.
| Reel him in, buddy.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Tom, you would not believe it.
This is the car | l was telling you about.
lt's awesome.
This car does | turbo boost.
lt jumps and it talks.
| lt actually talks.
Hi.
| Oh, Michael.
l want you to meet- | Wait.
Let me guess.
Tom O'Mally.
You're a lucky guy.
| Oh, you mean Sheila? No, l mean you're lucky l didn't run | into you a couple of days sooner when l thought you were | involved with Jastrow.
Yeah, that, too.
You see, a few months back l was | having a good time at this party and l knew Jastrow from | some of the other conventions.
l guess l let my mouth run | faster than my brain and l told him | about the lasers.
l think it's time | for me to retire.
Change my lifestyle | a little.
Well, well, well.
lt looks | like you can't lose for winning.
lf you mean Sheila, you're | right.
She's the greatest.
No.
He's the greatest.
And you are | the second greatest.
What about me? | You? You are the very, | very best.
Goodbye, Michael Knight.
| Goodbye, Sheila.
Goodbye, KlTT.
| Goodbye, Sheila.
What do you think about that? I think she has | excellent taste in cars.
However, her taste in men | could be open for discussion.
Just because she chose me | before you? Oh, no, Michael.
| I meant O'Mally.
Yeah.
Somewhere, | in the back of my mind l still feel like | l'm the lucky one.
Oh, by the way l forgot to ask him where | he's been the last three days.
