Knight Rider (1982) s04e04 Episode Script
Sky Knight
Unless my demands are met I think it would be appropriate | if you were the first hostage to be executed.
Whatever Zurich's got planned, | the code name is Deep Sleep.
Michael, Zurich has cut | the deadline in half! Bonnie and the hostages | are being held at a government | restricted area.
The entire field | is ringed with land mines.
Devon, you know I'm going in.
Let him come.
| Let him commit suicide.
It's Michael Knight, | isn't it? There's rockets coming in.
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.
Maybe I should have | taken the train.
You know this is the only way you're gonna make your | sister's wedding on time.
I think I'd rather be late | than terrified.
Bonnie, flying is safer | than driving a car.
Tell her, KITT.
It may be safer than traveling | by automobile, Michael but there is no doubt | that air travel is one of the most unnatural | modes of transportation ever devised | by the mind of man.
Oh, thanks a lot.
| You've really helped.
It's not KITT's fault, | Michael.
He was programmed | to be afraid of flying.
But you were the programmer.
I know.
Smoking or non-smoking? Smoking.
When did you start smoking? Now.
She doesn't smoke.
| Get non-smoking.
Gate 19.
Have a good flight.
Thank you.
Piece of cake.
May I have | your attention, please.
Flight 32 is now available | for boarding at gate 19.
Please have | your boarding passes ready.
You in smoking? Non-smoking.
Good.
Excuse me, young man, would you | hold it for a moment, please.
Passenger Robert Ewing please pick up the nearest | white courtesy phone.
This is your bag | coming through? Uh-huh.
Okay.
Would you mind opening it up and | showing us the contents, please? Oh, that's the culprit.
It's for my little brother.
| The kid's really into toys.
Most kids are.
Yeah, isn't that the truth.
Don't you worry | about a thing, okay? And give your sister | my best.
I will.
Say, ''Goodbye KITT.
'' | Goodbye, KITT.
Goodbye, Bonnie.
You have fun, huh? See you in a week.
| You got it.
You're traveling alone? Okay, great.
| I buy all the drinks.
All right, now, I don't wanna | hear any arguments from you.
A pretty lady like you, | are you kidding? Come on.
Bye.
Flight 137 from Denver | is now arriving at Gate 21.
It's a bomb! Code Red! KITT, meet me at the back | of the terminal.
KITT, you better | stop that van.
Would you like the window seat? No.
There's plenty to see.
Thanks.
Maybe later.
The name's Nick, | what's yours? Bonnie.
| Pleased to meet you, Nick.
So, you're going | to Boston, eh? Yes, my sister's | getting married tomorrow.
What a waste.
Boston or the wedding? Well, it's just that my parents got married | in Boston.
Oh.
Were you visiting | a relative here? Yeah, my mother.
Now I'm going | to see my father.
Would either one of you | like a drink? We'll have | a couple of martinis.
Stir, don't shake.
We | don't wanna bruise the gin.
I'm sorry, but I think | the gin is already bruised.
Make mine a root beer.
Make it two.
You got it.
Make that three root beers.
And I'll have one of those | bruised martinis.
I think I'd like | a Scotch, Mother.
Not a chance.
You can't handle liquor any | better than your father could.
He'll have a root beer.
| You got it.
Sir, would you | like a refreshment? I think the Captain may | like some coffee, don't you? Yes, sir.
Don't try anything | fancy, sweetheart.
Just knock on that door | and announce ''Coffee.
'' Yes.
Coffee.
Mary, don't forget two lumps this time, | would you, please? I wouldn't dream of it, | Captain.
Your new heading, Captain, | will be 123.
Don't be a hero.
Give me the mike.
Ladies and gentlemen you are now in the hands | of the New Dawn Movement.
Please remain seated and calm | as your captain is.
You'll receive | further instructions.
Move.
If you wanna live, | do exactly as you're told.
Empty your wallets and contents | of your purses into the bag.
Do it.
My God.
Please, | do what you're told.
Any news? Yes.
Oh, yes, I see.
Bad news.
Bonnie's plane has disappeared | from the radar 15 minutes ago.
What about the bomb? It's a fake.
That's why they allowed | Bonnie's plane out on schedule.
I knew it.
Devon, it's a decoy.
It's | some kind of smoke screen.
All right, | I'll patch it through.
That was airport security.
They're receiving | a transmission from the plane.
KITT, pick it up and give me | a voice analysis, will you? Certainly, Michael.
Gentlemen this is the new commander | of Flight 34.
We are now on the ground.
All of the passengers | are doing just fine.
Fortunately, | there were no heroes.
Just a lot of nice people who want to get home safely.
A list containing | the names of 197 men currently serving time in | the state's prison system should be arriving at the | Justice Department about now.
My demands are simple.
In addition to $3 million in cash I want each and every one of those political | prisoners named on that list released.
And the details of how | and where will be forthcoming.
You have 24 hours to comply or the New Dawn Movement | will have no choice but to begin | executing these people one at a time.
I'll be in touch.
Look at this.
It's her.
The Foundation | for Law and Government.
An organization, | as I recall that meddles in the affairs | of others.
Unless my demands are met I think | it would be appropriate if you were the first hostage | to be executed.
The Foundation for Law | and Government.
It's become | your death warrant.
KITT, anything | on the voice analysis yet? Just completed, Michael.
Sorry it took so long but it took special cooperation | from the authorities to cut through the maze | of security clearances.
Security clearances? Yes, it appears | our hijacker was at one time in a | strategically sensitive position.
If I may direct your attention | to the monitor.
Charles Zurich, age 49.
Until two years ago he was with Special Operations for | the National Security Commission.
And now he's freelance.
Exactly, Michael.
It seems he was passed over | for promotion.
The NSC dismissed him when it suspected | he was manipulating funds.
He was about to be charged | when he simply disappeared.
Yeah, but what could he want | with 197 cons? He calls them | ''political prisoners.
'' But I had KITT check them out.
They're not.
| They're nothing more than a bunch of thieves | and hardcore murderers.
Not a political bone | in their bodies.
Wait a minute.
Isn't that the number of troops | in an expanded infantry company? Exactly.
A ready-made terrorist army.
Yeah.
But what for? KITT, I want you to check | on every source you can.
I want everything you got | on Charles Zurich, right away.
Of course, Michael.
Devon what about the two men | in the van? Well, they've been | very well-rehearsed.
What about the van? The police were kind enough | to give us a read-out.
Just odds and ends, really.
One of them | smokes too much.
They like drive-in movies.
They've been to the same double | feature for the last six days.
The past six days.
Sounds to me more like a | meeting place than a movie.
I'll be glad | to check it out.
No, you stay | with the semi and- I'm going to the movies.
All right, KITT.
Keep your scanners peeled | for anything unusual.
Would you care | to be more specific? I wish I could.
Michael, if ''unusual'' is the | requisite, I may have something.
Lay it on me.
Speaker number 1204 and the middle row of speakers has been | altered to function as a telephone, Michael.
No kidding? | Let's check it out.
If we make a connection, | I want you to run a trace.
I'm ready, Michael.
Zurich told me to come here.
He said I could | make contact here.
I've got some important | information for Zurich.
Is this regarding | Deep Sleep? Yes.
Deep Sleep.
Hold on.
Michael, your speaker | connects directly with a switcher located in | an office in the snack bar.
An outgoing call | is being made at this moment.
I made no arrangements | for a contact.
Find out who he is, | then terminate him.
I understand.
Would you state your business | more specifically? I could but it's got to be | directly to Zurich.
Michael, we got company.
Thanks, pal.
Contact the police.
With pleasure, Michael.
How close are the police? Within two blocks, Michael.
All right, pal, | let's deliver them.
This'll blow him away.
What a shame.
Hands up! Michael, | I've traced that call to a town in southwestern | Arizona called Cactus.
Terrific.
Get me Devon.
Michael, are you all right? Devon, we made a connection.
A call went out from the drive-in | to a town in Arizona called Cactus.
We'll be right behind you.
Good.
Oh, and Devon whatever Zurich's got planned, | the code name is Deep Sleep.
Let's hope that doesn't have | anything to do with Bonnie.
My thoughts exactly, Michael.
All right, pal, | Super Pursuit Mode.
I should have told them | it was my wallet.
Since when could you | pass as a Bonnie? It's not fair- It's not fair them | choosing you to go first.
I'm not going to die, Nick.
I've got some | very special friends who are going to see to it | that I don't.
I would think | in a situation like this you'd be paying | more attention to me.
What would you like | to discuss, Mother? We could talk about your summer | plans for us in the Hamptons? Will it be three weeks | or four weeks this year? Or maybe none at all.
Got it.
They got the drive-in | and two of our men.
Did you get an ID? Michael Knight.
He works for The Foundation | for Law and Government.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I | have your attention, please.
I know that some of you | believe in miracles like those which may have been | wrought in the past by other organizations | like, say the Foundation for Law | and Government.
Well, stop believing | in miracles because if anyone | manages to get this far then I am going to have to | activate this.
This key here is the secret.
Pull it, | and 15 minutes later everything around us and | 5,000 feet above us is gone.
Incinerated.
Everything.
This is the key to life.
Warning.
Countdown started.
Kind of makes you wish | the government would cooperate just a little | bit quicker, doesn't it? Countdown terminated.
What can I do? My hands are tied.
I just hope that I can make | all of you understand how difficult | this really is for me.
Jeez, Bonnie.
Don't let him | get to you, Nick.
Don't let him do it.
No, it's not me.
| It's you he's gonna get.
Okay, pal, let's take | a look at that map.
The only town in the area | is Cactus, Michael.
The call had to go there.
What's that blank area | next to Cactus? Normally, unidentified areas | of terrain such as this would indicate | government restricted areas.
All right, get me Devon.
Right away, Michael.
Yo, Devon anything from your people | in Washington? Apparently, Deep Sleep was a | top-secret project, Michael.
Only a select group of men | knew about it.
How select? Only very top levels.
My contacts have put me in touch with | a Calvin Holmes who should be here soon.
Good.
Holmes is considered this country's | top expert on techno-weaponry.
He worked on Deep Sleep.
Let me know when he arrives, | will you? Of course, I will.
Thank you.
All right, looks like | we're coming into town.
We better slow down.
All right, KITT, we gotta | find that phone, pal.
The only operative phone | in the immediate area is located in a booth | at the end of this street.
All right.
I'm gonna check it out.
Do a general surveillance, | will you? Right away.
You know, you drag-racers | come racing into my town disrupting my rush-hour | traffic pattern by parking illegally.
And you think you're gonna just | drive out without so much as a ticket.
Think again, sonny.
Drag racer? Sir, you are out of line.
Well, let me see now.
That's another $50 for | insulting an officer of the law.
Yes? If I was you I'd teach that friend of yours | to have little bit more respect for the Sheriff.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, Michael, | but his methods were- Forget it.
Did you pick up anything? Incredible electronic | interference to the south, Michael.
Well, the number in that booth didn't | match the one we traced from the drive-in.
Let's head south.
Michael? I think | we just found Bonnie, pal.
You're right, Michael, and | Zurich is about to transmit.
Mr.
Knight, you're a long way | from the drive-in.
But since you're here I'd like to take this | opportunity to welcome you.
Welcome to Deep Sleep.
Looks like we got | some serious company.
If we're gonna play games, | let's not play on their turf.
Let's get back | to Cactus immediately.
As we speak, there is additional | firepower zeroing in on us.
Oh, no! More hardware.
That's it, the guy | in the black T-top.
If we don't stop them | right here and now Devon and the semi are gonna | run into big trouble.
Let's give these guys | a run for their money.
Microlock your brakes, KIT.
All right, that tears it.
That tears it.
Give me that.
What do you think | you're doing? Look, they've lost him | in Cactus.
All right, so he's been | a very lucky man so far.
Blood will stop him.
Steven, relax.
If we start killing | hostages now we're gonna lose | our whole bargaining position.
I am not going | to wait forever.
Not forever.
Let him come.
| Let him commit suicide.
It's Michael Knight, | isn't it? Steven, would you prepare | a transmission, please? Michael, Zurich has cut | the deadline in half.
He knows we're here, Devon.
Mr.
Calvin Holmes of the National | Defense Security Agency is with me here now.
Good.
I'm eight minutes away.
Ten years ago, | Charles Zurich and I worked for the National | Defense Security Agency.
We were asked to develop | an impenetrable fortress to protect | top government officials in the event of a | non-nuclear terrorist war.
It was called Deep Sleep.
Gentlemen this is Deep Sleep.
You see, | the entire field is ringed with land mines, | missiles and mortars.
You got that, KITT? Certainly, Michael.
To insure that the compound would never | fall into our enemies' hands we installed a doomsday device | inside the bunker.
Mr.
Holmes are you telling us that The explosive has the power | of a small nuclear device.
It all goes.
He was right, Devon.
They thought of everything.
But you must understand that we were asked to protect | top government officials.
And now innocent people | are going to die.
There's no way in.
Devon, you know I'm going in.
The odds against you | are staggering.
I don't have any choice here! Bonnie's in there.
You know, Bonnie I don't know about dying.
I mean, | I never thought about it before.
Nick! It's not fair! we'll be eating ice cream | and laughing.
I promise.
You are a dreamer, aren't you? Think ''Michael Knight,'' Nick.
Just keep thinking | ''Michael Knight.
'' Young man you are an animal.
Am I now? Then consider | the enormity of the fact than an animal is in the | position of power to decide whether you live or die.
If you're trying to | frighten me, you're failing.
I'm well over 70 years old and have been prepared | for death for quite a while.
You would simply be advancing | the schedule a season or two and not creating anything | of awesome originality.
In my eyes, | you remain an animal.
I can create.
I can create a war.
I can walk into any small | country with my combat team and sway | the balance of power.
That makes me the power! I decide who runs the country! I decide where the next | incursions will take place! This incident that surrounds | me is just a start the nucleus | of what I intend! I think if I manage | to live through this I shall require | a rabies inoculation.
Oh, Madam That wasn't necessary.
Madam, I chose to.
Another option of power.
Why did you do that? I also chose to.
Floyd if we make it through this I'd like to buy you | a bottle of Scotch.
I'll tell you something, | Mother.
I really prefer root beer.
All right, first off, | scan the bunker.
If we do get inside we got to know | how many guards are in there.
Michael, | I cannot differentiate between the hostages | and the guards.
KITT, we've got to know that.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
| I got a wild idea here.
Give me a visual of this | year's electronic toy cars.
Toy cars? Really, Michael.
Just do it, will you? KITT, come on, come on, it's | got to be there somewhere.
All right, hold it! | Back up one.
It's the one | Bonnie's new boyfriend was carrying | when he got on the airplane.
Okay, locate | its ignition system.
Good.
Now put that into your | directional memory bank and activate your micropulse.
Right away, Michael.
Very nice.
Thank you, Michael.
All right, give it | a little power boost.
Certainly, Michael.
That's Morse code! It's asking, | ''How many guards?'' I'm an Eagle Scout.
It must be Michael | and KITT.
Use the controls | and tap out five.
They count five guards, | Michael.
All right.
Here we go.
Miss Foundation | for Law and Government I'm afraid that your time | has run out.
Let's go.
Wait! Don't worry, kid, | your time will come.
Devon's calling.
Michael Zurich has just announced he's | going to execute the first hostage.
Michael, he's chosen Bonnie.
I'll be there for you, Bonnie.
| I promise I'll be there.
Okay, pal, | let's shake them up.
But, Michael, | the inside perimeter is protected by a mine field.
I know, KITT.
I know.
Plot me a course | through the mine field.
Okay, Michael.
But you're going to feel | like a ball in a pinball game.
Take it easy, pal.
| Stay inside.
I'm trying, Michael.
| I'm trying.
He's getting through! He's coming through.
There he is.
Michael, | there are rockets coming in and mortars by the tunnel.
Gimme all you got, pal.
Well, all right.
Then our first execution | will be Michael Knight! It's impossible.
They will have 14 minutes | to make up their minds.
Wait a minute.
| What are you There's got to be | a better way.
This computer's taken it | out of our hands.
Why don't we just shut it down | and start executing hostages? They will back down, | they've got to.
Why don't you go to the | phone? They'll be in touch.
They'll let it | run down to three.
Maybe two minutes.
Then we will hear from them.
You're doing it all wrong! | You're blowing it, Zurich! Then try it your way! Warning.
Countdown resuming.
He's got the key! He double-crossed us, | left us to die! Fourteen minutes | 30 seconds and counting.
He's done it! He's done it! All right, good work, pal! You got us through | the rockets and mortars, KITT.
What's next? We've gotta | stop that computer.
Please! I'm a computer programmer.
Let me try.
He left you here to die, | can't you see that? Kill me, and you all die.
Fourteen minutes and counting.
You can shoot me or you can | drop your weapons and let me try.
Devon? Devon, do you read me? Eleven minutes and counting.
Devon? Do you read me? Do you read me? | It's Bonnie! Devon, do you read me? Bonnie.
What's happening in there? Zurich activated Doomsday | and escaped with the key.
We've got less than | 11 minutes.
Bonnie, this is Michael.
Look, we are right | outside the walls.
There are reinforced with steel.
| They are too thick to penetrate.
It's hopeless.
Well, you designed this | monstrosity.
Now help us! There's not anything I can do! In case of evacuation, the device | was supposed to guarantee total destruction | of the facility.
Then there's a very serious | flaw in your design if there is no fail-safe | mechanism.
Don't you understand? Innocent people | are going to die.
I'm sorry! Don't be sorry.
Just help us.
How do we stop it? Without the key, | without the key Time! Time! We need time | to access the computer.
I need a password.
It was Deep Sleep.
Bonnie, try Deep Sleep.
No access.
No, I didn't get in.
All right, KITT, access any | and all synonyms of sleep.
Right away, Michael.
Try ''doomsday.
'' No access.
No.
Try ''snooze.
'' No access.
Bonnie, try ''nap.
'' No access.
No, I didn't get in.
Try ''coma.
'' Access accepted.
We're in.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Michael, | my preliminary calculations indicate that 15 minutes | are needed to break that code.
Bonnie and the others | have nine minutes remaining.
Look, we've got | to get the key! We're gonna make it, | aren't we? Darn right we are.
Scan the hangar! That's gotta be him.
Michael, he's on the move! All right, KITT, | get right behind him.
Tap into the entry | ramp system.
KITT, now! Michael, you wouldn't! You know | I'm terrified of flying! Sorry, pal, | but there's no choice.
Access the automatic pilot.
I want this plane | to circle the field.
We're locked into auto-pilot.
All right, give me the key.
There isn't time.
Your only chance is to | fly out of here with me.
Nobody's flying anywhere.
We're locked | into automatic pilot and we're circling the field.
If Doomsday goes off, you're gonna | die up here with the rest of us.
Give me the key.
You'll never make it.
KITT, we got time | to bring her down? I'm sorry, Michael.
You're not | gonna like this one.
Michael, you wouldn't.
All right, after | I'm through with these.
You grab one.
I'll pick you up downstairs.
Oh, Michael, | my fear of flying has been fully justified.
Come on, pal, | it's the ride of your life! This is great! A ride, Michael, is taken | with four wheels in contact with a hard, | smooth surface.
What's our ETA for touchdown? Less than one minute, providing | this operation is a success.
Look, there's nothing | to worry about.
These chutes were specially | designed for this.
Falling through space hardly | seems the result of design.
We're getting down in | one piece, aren't we? Michael, I'm in no mood | to debate the point.
No time, anyway.
Here comes Mother Earth.
Thankfully, | not a moment too soon.
Bonnie, I've got the key.
Now, how did Zurich get out? A door on the south wall.
| Dead center.
Michael, hurry.
Hang in there, Bonnie.
Hang in there.
Fifteen seconds.
Ten, nine eight, seven six, five | Michael, in front of you.
four, three.
Countdown terminated.
What's a nice girl like you | doing in a place like this? I was just about to ask you | the same thing.
Michael, is Bonnie all right? I'm fine, KITT.
And my congratulations to you, | young man.
You also performed well.
Bonnie told me about you, | KITT.
You're incredible! Your little friend | did splendidly, too.
Well, a promise is a promise.
Great! I can't believe I made it.
What? It's my first date.
Well, Nicholas your mother and father are | waiting for you in Los Angeles.
Together? Together.
Yes, apparently they're ready | to try again.
Isn't that nice? Gee, I guess I won't be going | to Boston after all, Bonnie.
No more fooling around | for me.
I want to really help them | make it work this time.
Still would've been | great, though.
You and I together | at your sister's wedding.
No doubt about it.
I'm sorry we missed it.
Surely you have | something better to do.
The joke's on you, son.
You see, I'm the only duly-sworn | officer in these here territory that's ever put a ticket | on a talking car.
And it just don't probably | get more better than that.
Whatever Zurich's got planned, | the code name is Deep Sleep.
Michael, Zurich has cut | the deadline in half! Bonnie and the hostages | are being held at a government | restricted area.
The entire field | is ringed with land mines.
Devon, you know I'm going in.
Let him come.
| Let him commit suicide.
It's Michael Knight, | isn't it? There's rockets coming in.
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.
Maybe I should have | taken the train.
You know this is the only way you're gonna make your | sister's wedding on time.
I think I'd rather be late | than terrified.
Bonnie, flying is safer | than driving a car.
Tell her, KITT.
It may be safer than traveling | by automobile, Michael but there is no doubt | that air travel is one of the most unnatural | modes of transportation ever devised | by the mind of man.
Oh, thanks a lot.
| You've really helped.
It's not KITT's fault, | Michael.
He was programmed | to be afraid of flying.
But you were the programmer.
I know.
Smoking or non-smoking? Smoking.
When did you start smoking? Now.
She doesn't smoke.
| Get non-smoking.
Gate 19.
Have a good flight.
Thank you.
Piece of cake.
May I have | your attention, please.
Flight 32 is now available | for boarding at gate 19.
Please have | your boarding passes ready.
You in smoking? Non-smoking.
Good.
Excuse me, young man, would you | hold it for a moment, please.
Passenger Robert Ewing please pick up the nearest | white courtesy phone.
This is your bag | coming through? Uh-huh.
Okay.
Would you mind opening it up and | showing us the contents, please? Oh, that's the culprit.
It's for my little brother.
| The kid's really into toys.
Most kids are.
Yeah, isn't that the truth.
Don't you worry | about a thing, okay? And give your sister | my best.
I will.
Say, ''Goodbye KITT.
'' | Goodbye, KITT.
Goodbye, Bonnie.
You have fun, huh? See you in a week.
| You got it.
You're traveling alone? Okay, great.
| I buy all the drinks.
All right, now, I don't wanna | hear any arguments from you.
A pretty lady like you, | are you kidding? Come on.
Bye.
Flight 137 from Denver | is now arriving at Gate 21.
It's a bomb! Code Red! KITT, meet me at the back | of the terminal.
KITT, you better | stop that van.
Would you like the window seat? No.
There's plenty to see.
Thanks.
Maybe later.
The name's Nick, | what's yours? Bonnie.
| Pleased to meet you, Nick.
So, you're going | to Boston, eh? Yes, my sister's | getting married tomorrow.
What a waste.
Boston or the wedding? Well, it's just that my parents got married | in Boston.
Oh.
Were you visiting | a relative here? Yeah, my mother.
Now I'm going | to see my father.
Would either one of you | like a drink? We'll have | a couple of martinis.
Stir, don't shake.
We | don't wanna bruise the gin.
I'm sorry, but I think | the gin is already bruised.
Make mine a root beer.
Make it two.
You got it.
Make that three root beers.
And I'll have one of those | bruised martinis.
I think I'd like | a Scotch, Mother.
Not a chance.
You can't handle liquor any | better than your father could.
He'll have a root beer.
| You got it.
Sir, would you | like a refreshment? I think the Captain may | like some coffee, don't you? Yes, sir.
Don't try anything | fancy, sweetheart.
Just knock on that door | and announce ''Coffee.
'' Yes.
Coffee.
Mary, don't forget two lumps this time, | would you, please? I wouldn't dream of it, | Captain.
Your new heading, Captain, | will be 123.
Don't be a hero.
Give me the mike.
Ladies and gentlemen you are now in the hands | of the New Dawn Movement.
Please remain seated and calm | as your captain is.
You'll receive | further instructions.
Move.
If you wanna live, | do exactly as you're told.
Empty your wallets and contents | of your purses into the bag.
Do it.
My God.
Please, | do what you're told.
Any news? Yes.
Oh, yes, I see.
Bad news.
Bonnie's plane has disappeared | from the radar 15 minutes ago.
What about the bomb? It's a fake.
That's why they allowed | Bonnie's plane out on schedule.
I knew it.
Devon, it's a decoy.
It's | some kind of smoke screen.
All right, | I'll patch it through.
That was airport security.
They're receiving | a transmission from the plane.
KITT, pick it up and give me | a voice analysis, will you? Certainly, Michael.
Gentlemen this is the new commander | of Flight 34.
We are now on the ground.
All of the passengers | are doing just fine.
Fortunately, | there were no heroes.
Just a lot of nice people who want to get home safely.
A list containing | the names of 197 men currently serving time in | the state's prison system should be arriving at the | Justice Department about now.
My demands are simple.
In addition to $3 million in cash I want each and every one of those political | prisoners named on that list released.
And the details of how | and where will be forthcoming.
You have 24 hours to comply or the New Dawn Movement | will have no choice but to begin | executing these people one at a time.
I'll be in touch.
Look at this.
It's her.
The Foundation | for Law and Government.
An organization, | as I recall that meddles in the affairs | of others.
Unless my demands are met I think | it would be appropriate if you were the first hostage | to be executed.
The Foundation for Law | and Government.
It's become | your death warrant.
KITT, anything | on the voice analysis yet? Just completed, Michael.
Sorry it took so long but it took special cooperation | from the authorities to cut through the maze | of security clearances.
Security clearances? Yes, it appears | our hijacker was at one time in a | strategically sensitive position.
If I may direct your attention | to the monitor.
Charles Zurich, age 49.
Until two years ago he was with Special Operations for | the National Security Commission.
And now he's freelance.
Exactly, Michael.
It seems he was passed over | for promotion.
The NSC dismissed him when it suspected | he was manipulating funds.
He was about to be charged | when he simply disappeared.
Yeah, but what could he want | with 197 cons? He calls them | ''political prisoners.
'' But I had KITT check them out.
They're not.
| They're nothing more than a bunch of thieves | and hardcore murderers.
Not a political bone | in their bodies.
Wait a minute.
Isn't that the number of troops | in an expanded infantry company? Exactly.
A ready-made terrorist army.
Yeah.
But what for? KITT, I want you to check | on every source you can.
I want everything you got | on Charles Zurich, right away.
Of course, Michael.
Devon what about the two men | in the van? Well, they've been | very well-rehearsed.
What about the van? The police were kind enough | to give us a read-out.
Just odds and ends, really.
One of them | smokes too much.
They like drive-in movies.
They've been to the same double | feature for the last six days.
The past six days.
Sounds to me more like a | meeting place than a movie.
I'll be glad | to check it out.
No, you stay | with the semi and- I'm going to the movies.
All right, KITT.
Keep your scanners peeled | for anything unusual.
Would you care | to be more specific? I wish I could.
Michael, if ''unusual'' is the | requisite, I may have something.
Lay it on me.
Speaker number 1204 and the middle row of speakers has been | altered to function as a telephone, Michael.
No kidding? | Let's check it out.
If we make a connection, | I want you to run a trace.
I'm ready, Michael.
Zurich told me to come here.
He said I could | make contact here.
I've got some important | information for Zurich.
Is this regarding | Deep Sleep? Yes.
Deep Sleep.
Hold on.
Michael, your speaker | connects directly with a switcher located in | an office in the snack bar.
An outgoing call | is being made at this moment.
I made no arrangements | for a contact.
Find out who he is, | then terminate him.
I understand.
Would you state your business | more specifically? I could but it's got to be | directly to Zurich.
Michael, we got company.
Thanks, pal.
Contact the police.
With pleasure, Michael.
How close are the police? Within two blocks, Michael.
All right, pal, | let's deliver them.
This'll blow him away.
What a shame.
Hands up! Michael, | I've traced that call to a town in southwestern | Arizona called Cactus.
Terrific.
Get me Devon.
Michael, are you all right? Devon, we made a connection.
A call went out from the drive-in | to a town in Arizona called Cactus.
We'll be right behind you.
Good.
Oh, and Devon whatever Zurich's got planned, | the code name is Deep Sleep.
Let's hope that doesn't have | anything to do with Bonnie.
My thoughts exactly, Michael.
All right, pal, | Super Pursuit Mode.
I should have told them | it was my wallet.
Since when could you | pass as a Bonnie? It's not fair- It's not fair them | choosing you to go first.
I'm not going to die, Nick.
I've got some | very special friends who are going to see to it | that I don't.
I would think | in a situation like this you'd be paying | more attention to me.
What would you like | to discuss, Mother? We could talk about your summer | plans for us in the Hamptons? Will it be three weeks | or four weeks this year? Or maybe none at all.
Got it.
They got the drive-in | and two of our men.
Did you get an ID? Michael Knight.
He works for The Foundation | for Law and Government.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I | have your attention, please.
I know that some of you | believe in miracles like those which may have been | wrought in the past by other organizations | like, say the Foundation for Law | and Government.
Well, stop believing | in miracles because if anyone | manages to get this far then I am going to have to | activate this.
This key here is the secret.
Pull it, | and 15 minutes later everything around us and | 5,000 feet above us is gone.
Incinerated.
Everything.
This is the key to life.
Warning.
Countdown started.
Kind of makes you wish | the government would cooperate just a little | bit quicker, doesn't it? Countdown terminated.
What can I do? My hands are tied.
I just hope that I can make | all of you understand how difficult | this really is for me.
Jeez, Bonnie.
Don't let him | get to you, Nick.
Don't let him do it.
No, it's not me.
| It's you he's gonna get.
Okay, pal, let's take | a look at that map.
The only town in the area | is Cactus, Michael.
The call had to go there.
What's that blank area | next to Cactus? Normally, unidentified areas | of terrain such as this would indicate | government restricted areas.
All right, get me Devon.
Right away, Michael.
Yo, Devon anything from your people | in Washington? Apparently, Deep Sleep was a | top-secret project, Michael.
Only a select group of men | knew about it.
How select? Only very top levels.
My contacts have put me in touch with | a Calvin Holmes who should be here soon.
Good.
Holmes is considered this country's | top expert on techno-weaponry.
He worked on Deep Sleep.
Let me know when he arrives, | will you? Of course, I will.
Thank you.
All right, looks like | we're coming into town.
We better slow down.
All right, KITT, we gotta | find that phone, pal.
The only operative phone | in the immediate area is located in a booth | at the end of this street.
All right.
I'm gonna check it out.
Do a general surveillance, | will you? Right away.
You know, you drag-racers | come racing into my town disrupting my rush-hour | traffic pattern by parking illegally.
And you think you're gonna just | drive out without so much as a ticket.
Think again, sonny.
Drag racer? Sir, you are out of line.
Well, let me see now.
That's another $50 for | insulting an officer of the law.
Yes? If I was you I'd teach that friend of yours | to have little bit more respect for the Sheriff.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, Michael, | but his methods were- Forget it.
Did you pick up anything? Incredible electronic | interference to the south, Michael.
Well, the number in that booth didn't | match the one we traced from the drive-in.
Let's head south.
Michael? I think | we just found Bonnie, pal.
You're right, Michael, and | Zurich is about to transmit.
Mr.
Knight, you're a long way | from the drive-in.
But since you're here I'd like to take this | opportunity to welcome you.
Welcome to Deep Sleep.
Looks like we got | some serious company.
If we're gonna play games, | let's not play on their turf.
Let's get back | to Cactus immediately.
As we speak, there is additional | firepower zeroing in on us.
Oh, no! More hardware.
That's it, the guy | in the black T-top.
If we don't stop them | right here and now Devon and the semi are gonna | run into big trouble.
Let's give these guys | a run for their money.
Microlock your brakes, KIT.
All right, that tears it.
That tears it.
Give me that.
What do you think | you're doing? Look, they've lost him | in Cactus.
All right, so he's been | a very lucky man so far.
Blood will stop him.
Steven, relax.
If we start killing | hostages now we're gonna lose | our whole bargaining position.
I am not going | to wait forever.
Not forever.
Let him come.
| Let him commit suicide.
It's Michael Knight, | isn't it? Steven, would you prepare | a transmission, please? Michael, Zurich has cut | the deadline in half.
He knows we're here, Devon.
Mr.
Calvin Holmes of the National | Defense Security Agency is with me here now.
Good.
I'm eight minutes away.
Ten years ago, | Charles Zurich and I worked for the National | Defense Security Agency.
We were asked to develop | an impenetrable fortress to protect | top government officials in the event of a | non-nuclear terrorist war.
It was called Deep Sleep.
Gentlemen this is Deep Sleep.
You see, | the entire field is ringed with land mines, | missiles and mortars.
You got that, KITT? Certainly, Michael.
To insure that the compound would never | fall into our enemies' hands we installed a doomsday device | inside the bunker.
Mr.
Holmes are you telling us that The explosive has the power | of a small nuclear device.
It all goes.
He was right, Devon.
They thought of everything.
But you must understand that we were asked to protect | top government officials.
And now innocent people | are going to die.
There's no way in.
Devon, you know I'm going in.
The odds against you | are staggering.
I don't have any choice here! Bonnie's in there.
You know, Bonnie I don't know about dying.
I mean, | I never thought about it before.
Nick! It's not fair! we'll be eating ice cream | and laughing.
I promise.
You are a dreamer, aren't you? Think ''Michael Knight,'' Nick.
Just keep thinking | ''Michael Knight.
'' Young man you are an animal.
Am I now? Then consider | the enormity of the fact than an animal is in the | position of power to decide whether you live or die.
If you're trying to | frighten me, you're failing.
I'm well over 70 years old and have been prepared | for death for quite a while.
You would simply be advancing | the schedule a season or two and not creating anything | of awesome originality.
In my eyes, | you remain an animal.
I can create.
I can create a war.
I can walk into any small | country with my combat team and sway | the balance of power.
That makes me the power! I decide who runs the country! I decide where the next | incursions will take place! This incident that surrounds | me is just a start the nucleus | of what I intend! I think if I manage | to live through this I shall require | a rabies inoculation.
Oh, Madam That wasn't necessary.
Madam, I chose to.
Another option of power.
Why did you do that? I also chose to.
Floyd if we make it through this I'd like to buy you | a bottle of Scotch.
I'll tell you something, | Mother.
I really prefer root beer.
All right, first off, | scan the bunker.
If we do get inside we got to know | how many guards are in there.
Michael, | I cannot differentiate between the hostages | and the guards.
KITT, we've got to know that.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
| I got a wild idea here.
Give me a visual of this | year's electronic toy cars.
Toy cars? Really, Michael.
Just do it, will you? KITT, come on, come on, it's | got to be there somewhere.
All right, hold it! | Back up one.
It's the one | Bonnie's new boyfriend was carrying | when he got on the airplane.
Okay, locate | its ignition system.
Good.
Now put that into your | directional memory bank and activate your micropulse.
Right away, Michael.
Very nice.
Thank you, Michael.
All right, give it | a little power boost.
Certainly, Michael.
That's Morse code! It's asking, | ''How many guards?'' I'm an Eagle Scout.
It must be Michael | and KITT.
Use the controls | and tap out five.
They count five guards, | Michael.
All right.
Here we go.
Miss Foundation | for Law and Government I'm afraid that your time | has run out.
Let's go.
Wait! Don't worry, kid, | your time will come.
Devon's calling.
Michael Zurich has just announced he's | going to execute the first hostage.
Michael, he's chosen Bonnie.
I'll be there for you, Bonnie.
| I promise I'll be there.
Okay, pal, | let's shake them up.
But, Michael, | the inside perimeter is protected by a mine field.
I know, KITT.
I know.
Plot me a course | through the mine field.
Okay, Michael.
But you're going to feel | like a ball in a pinball game.
Take it easy, pal.
| Stay inside.
I'm trying, Michael.
| I'm trying.
He's getting through! He's coming through.
There he is.
Michael, | there are rockets coming in and mortars by the tunnel.
Gimme all you got, pal.
Well, all right.
Then our first execution | will be Michael Knight! It's impossible.
They will have 14 minutes | to make up their minds.
Wait a minute.
| What are you There's got to be | a better way.
This computer's taken it | out of our hands.
Why don't we just shut it down | and start executing hostages? They will back down, | they've got to.
Why don't you go to the | phone? They'll be in touch.
They'll let it | run down to three.
Maybe two minutes.
Then we will hear from them.
You're doing it all wrong! | You're blowing it, Zurich! Then try it your way! Warning.
Countdown resuming.
He's got the key! He double-crossed us, | left us to die! Fourteen minutes | 30 seconds and counting.
He's done it! He's done it! All right, good work, pal! You got us through | the rockets and mortars, KITT.
What's next? We've gotta | stop that computer.
Please! I'm a computer programmer.
Let me try.
He left you here to die, | can't you see that? Kill me, and you all die.
Fourteen minutes and counting.
You can shoot me or you can | drop your weapons and let me try.
Devon? Devon, do you read me? Eleven minutes and counting.
Devon? Do you read me? Do you read me? | It's Bonnie! Devon, do you read me? Bonnie.
What's happening in there? Zurich activated Doomsday | and escaped with the key.
We've got less than | 11 minutes.
Bonnie, this is Michael.
Look, we are right | outside the walls.
There are reinforced with steel.
| They are too thick to penetrate.
It's hopeless.
Well, you designed this | monstrosity.
Now help us! There's not anything I can do! In case of evacuation, the device | was supposed to guarantee total destruction | of the facility.
Then there's a very serious | flaw in your design if there is no fail-safe | mechanism.
Don't you understand? Innocent people | are going to die.
I'm sorry! Don't be sorry.
Just help us.
How do we stop it? Without the key, | without the key Time! Time! We need time | to access the computer.
I need a password.
It was Deep Sleep.
Bonnie, try Deep Sleep.
No access.
No, I didn't get in.
All right, KITT, access any | and all synonyms of sleep.
Right away, Michael.
Try ''doomsday.
'' No access.
No.
Try ''snooze.
'' No access.
Bonnie, try ''nap.
'' No access.
No, I didn't get in.
Try ''coma.
'' Access accepted.
We're in.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Michael, | my preliminary calculations indicate that 15 minutes | are needed to break that code.
Bonnie and the others | have nine minutes remaining.
Look, we've got | to get the key! We're gonna make it, | aren't we? Darn right we are.
Scan the hangar! That's gotta be him.
Michael, he's on the move! All right, KITT, | get right behind him.
Tap into the entry | ramp system.
KITT, now! Michael, you wouldn't! You know | I'm terrified of flying! Sorry, pal, | but there's no choice.
Access the automatic pilot.
I want this plane | to circle the field.
We're locked into auto-pilot.
All right, give me the key.
There isn't time.
Your only chance is to | fly out of here with me.
Nobody's flying anywhere.
We're locked | into automatic pilot and we're circling the field.
If Doomsday goes off, you're gonna | die up here with the rest of us.
Give me the key.
You'll never make it.
KITT, we got time | to bring her down? I'm sorry, Michael.
You're not | gonna like this one.
Michael, you wouldn't.
All right, after | I'm through with these.
You grab one.
I'll pick you up downstairs.
Oh, Michael, | my fear of flying has been fully justified.
Come on, pal, | it's the ride of your life! This is great! A ride, Michael, is taken | with four wheels in contact with a hard, | smooth surface.
What's our ETA for touchdown? Less than one minute, providing | this operation is a success.
Look, there's nothing | to worry about.
These chutes were specially | designed for this.
Falling through space hardly | seems the result of design.
We're getting down in | one piece, aren't we? Michael, I'm in no mood | to debate the point.
No time, anyway.
Here comes Mother Earth.
Thankfully, | not a moment too soon.
Bonnie, I've got the key.
Now, how did Zurich get out? A door on the south wall.
| Dead center.
Michael, hurry.
Hang in there, Bonnie.
Hang in there.
Fifteen seconds.
Ten, nine eight, seven six, five | Michael, in front of you.
four, three.
Countdown terminated.
What's a nice girl like you | doing in a place like this? I was just about to ask you | the same thing.
Michael, is Bonnie all right? I'm fine, KITT.
And my congratulations to you, | young man.
You also performed well.
Bonnie told me about you, | KITT.
You're incredible! Your little friend | did splendidly, too.
Well, a promise is a promise.
Great! I can't believe I made it.
What? It's my first date.
Well, Nicholas your mother and father are | waiting for you in Los Angeles.
Together? Together.
Yes, apparently they're ready | to try again.
Isn't that nice? Gee, I guess I won't be going | to Boston after all, Bonnie.
No more fooling around | for me.
I want to really help them | make it work this time.
Still would've been | great, though.
You and I together | at your sister's wedding.
No doubt about it.
I'm sorry we missed it.
Surely you have | something better to do.
The joke's on you, son.
You see, I'm the only duly-sworn | officer in these here territory that's ever put a ticket | on a talking car.
And it just don't probably | get more better than that.
