Oh, God! Stop!
Freeze. Hands in the air.
I know what you're thinking, but it wasn't me.
Slow down! Mandy, I'm barely touching the pedal!
KARR was KITT's prototype...
with all of KITT's capabilities.
I wouldn't move, Mr. Miles.
A fortune in gold.
Goodbye, Michael Knight.
More power, KITT!
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.
You know, back in the '50s...
a guy found some Spanish doubloons near here after a big storm.
Yeah. Well, I bet he retired to Tahiti.
Not only that...
but his girlfriend opened up a new bikini shop.
No! John! No!
No!
Hold it. Where-- To the sharks.
Get back. Get back. Get back. Get out of here.
Okay, okay.
Hello, Tahiti.
Hey, wait.
Hey! Come here.
What is it? Look at this thing.
Bye-bye, Tahiti.
Don't be so sure. This thing looks brand new.
John, this isn't Spanish doubloons. It's somebody's car.
Come on, let's go get the truck.
Wait, wait! Come on.
Slow down. Wait a minute.
Honking in a tunnel.
Really, Michael, I fail to see the point.
KITT, it's an American tradition.
Like raising your hands on a roller coaster.
Unsafe, unsound behavior, if you ask me.
Now that you mention it, I didn't.
KITT, relax, will you? It's been a long trip, pal.
ln about an hour or so, you'll be back home with Bonnie...
for a little tender loving care.
My remote monitors seem to be malfunctioning.
They look fine to me.
Contrary to popular belief, looks aren't everything.
I'm picking up some very unusual signals from up the coast.
Michael, someone is broadcasting on our private carrier frequency.
Wait a minute. That's not supposed to be possible.
It must be a problem in calibration.
That's what worries me. That's not supposed to be possible, either.
Okay, easy.
Come on!
The clutch is burning out. Come on, a little bit more!
All right.
The clutch!
Wow.
How did that start?
I don't know. It just did.
Whoa.
John!
Man, you won't believe this dash.
Mandy, I'm gonna drive it into town.
John, what happens if somebody comes back?
Tell them you're a hitchhiker.
Mandy, we're saving the car, not stealing it.
Come on, get in. Okay.
Slow down! Mandy, I'm barely touching the pedal!
Voice command, are you ready?
I can't believe this. You've got the whole world at your fingertips.
Music.
I bet George Lucas drives one of these things.
How we doing?
You just asked me that.
We're getting closer. The signal is progressively stronger.
Good.
When we get close enough, I want you to triangulate the source.
Convert the impulse into a visual.
We should be close enough now.
All right, let's find out.
Okay, see if it's moving or not. Give me an overlay of the area.
It's moving.
I noticed.
You're worried, aren't you?
It's probably nothing, KITT.
I just want to make sure.
Well, I'll see you tonight.
I have a political science exam to study for.
Oh, yeah. Explain Libya in 25 words or less. I forgot.
Don't do that. It's important to me.
I know and I'm sorry.
John.
I'll turn the car in, I promise.
Bye. See you.
Hey, radical car, dude.
Radical shorts.
Bye. Bye.
Music.
Michael, it's gone.
Plot us an intersecting course.
I'm going to temporarily shut down our signal just in case.
ln case of what?
ln case whatever it is, is also tracking us.
Where were you when I was 17?
I thought the days when a hot car would make me feel good again were over.
Guess I was wrong.
I'm gonna hate to have to give you up, slick.
Then don't.
Okay, what is this? A joke?
Or a tape recorder?
ls Allen Funt gonna pop up and say, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera"?
Who's Allen Funt?
Hey, what is this?
You're a car, and cars don't talk.
Correct, I am not a car.
I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot...
the first in a bold new experiment.
You may call me KARR.
Speech is actually the least remarkable of my functions.
Get in.
Let me show you what I can really do.
You're a bold new experiment, huh?
I think that's terrific.
Personally, I'm not a bold new experiment.
I think you'd be happier with somebody else.
John, the days of feeling good aren't over.
Not for someone who still dreams. Not for someone like you.
Think of me as the genie in the magic lamp.
What am I supposed to be, Aladdin?
lf you choose.
As you can see, terrain doesn't hamper my performance.
I am designed for virtually every condition.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe any of this.
Forget belief systems.
Forget the perimeters of rational thinking as it so smugly is called.
Feel, my friend. Feel.
All right, let's try one more time. Go back to surveillance mode.
According to my projections...
the source should be here within seconds, Michael.
Michael! Got you, pal. Let's go!
Michael, that can't be KARR. We destroyed KARR two years ago.
Then who or what is that?
But I saw him explode.
You saw him explode. I know.
All right, give me a visual on the license plate.
Good idea.
So much for wishful thinking.
Hey, it's okay. You can slow down.
Come on, it's okay now.
They must have picked up my sonar.
Damn!
Oh, God! Stop!
Where are the brakes?
Manual override. Press Turbo Boost.
Are we clear to Turbo?
The risk factor is too high.
Freeze. Hands in the air.
I know what you're thinking, but it wasn't me.
Check the license plate. The guy you're after is getting away.
Right.
Put the hands on the roof of that car, now.
Thanks for the bail, Devon.
You know how KITT hates impound yards.
It's hard to believe that KARR is back.
Yeah, he's back, all right.
And from what we've seen, he looks meaner than ever.
I'm gonna need you and Bonnie up here as soon as possible.
We leave within the hour. Oh, Michael?
Yeah. Be careful.
I don't want any nose-to-nose encounters with that machine...
until Bonnie's had a chance to beef up KITT's weaponry.
KARR was KITT's prototype, designed and built by Wilton Knight...
with all of KITT's capabilities.
I got you.
KITT, I want to reconstruct the triangulation.
I want to find out where KARR came from and, if possible, who's helping him.
Right away, Michael.
Tidepools at the beach, Michael.
Give me a reading on these tracks, will you, pal?
Right away.
The tread configuration is virtually identical to mine, Michael.
It must be KARR's.
I'm also picking up a heavy vehicle having traction problems.
It's like somebody tried to raise KARR...
with a four-wheeler or a tow truck.
Affirmative.
You know, after two years in the salt water, he's got to be draining some fluids.
Anything on the surface?
There are faint signs of turbine fuel.
Good. Let's see where they go.
Okay, that's it. You said no cops.
You can stay here tonight, then you're on your own.
I don't understand. I thought we were friends.
My circuitry needs repairs, and I want to alter my appearance.
I can reward you handsomely for your help.
No, thanks.
Oh, no hard feelings though. It was fun.
For a while there, I felt like I was a kid again.
I felt like a.... I felt like a teenager with the hottest car in town.
Trouble is I'm not a teenager anymore.
Got responsibilities.
I got plans.
Got a job.
You repair boats for $4 an hour.
You weren't complaining back there on the beach when I towed you out.
Nor am I complaining now. Just pointing out what should be obvious.
And what is that?
You need me.
I meant what I said earlier.
You may not be Aladdin, but I am the genie.
I can make all your dreams come true.
Thanks, anyway.
As you wish.
You in the habit of leaving trucks at the beach?
What?
You want your own business one of these days...
you can't be leaving trucks at the beach.
Where's your brains, kid?
I can't believe it. I'm sorry, Eddie. Things just been a little weird for me lately.
Hey, how was the doctor?
I don't know. I didn't ask him.
Funny. You gonna live?
Only my batteries know for sure.
lf I die tomorrow, and this place goes into probate, you'll never get it.
$10,000 down and it's yours today.
Eddie, I don't have that kind of money and you know it.
A pacemaker.
Well, well, well.
This is it, Michael.
The trail's becoming too faint to follow, but it appears KARR paused here.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
All right, go to full surveillance, pal.
I'm looking for a black T-top...
that was in the area yesterday.
Did you happen to see a car like that?
I don't.... I don't think so. No.
lf you did, I need to know.
Look, it's not just another car.
It's very important. It's potentially very dangerous.
Look, if it makes any difference, this can be confidential.
I'm sorry, I haven't seen anything.
Dorothy, is that you?
No, it's me.
Hi.
I'll just.... I'll just be a minute.
I really don't have anything more to say.
All right.
You can reach me at this number in case the car turns up.
Or in case you happen to remember something.
What was all that about?
That black car.
You promised me that you were gonna turn it in.
I said I wasn't gonna keep it.
All I did was take it for a little ride. Quit making such a big deal about it.
It's over.
Endless Summer.
John? Who's this?
Yeah. Right away.
It's the hospital. Eddie just had a heart attack.
I can have KITT back from the Foundation by this time tomorrow.
Twenty-four hours we don't have to install a laser that won't work.
Now, I'm sorry, Bonnie. No.
We tried the laser last time KARR got loose.
I've been working on some modifications. I can double its penetration.
Michael, what choice do we have?
I can't risk sending you and KITT out without some kind of an edge.
I appreciate your concern, I really do.
But I had KITT trace the salt water damage to KARR's Alpha circuits.
lf he gets those parts and he repairs them, it's only going to be a matter of hours...
before his other systems are up to full strength.
So, while we're experimenting with modified lasers here...
he will be making himself fully operational. We cannot let that happen.
Look, if ever we needed to act as a team, it's right now.
You go back in the Foundation, you finish the laser, and you bring it back.
As soon as you call, I'll bring KITT in for installation.
Until then, I gotta keep the pressure on.
Bonnie.
Any leads on the human factor?
No, not yet. But I had KITT generate a list of all the outlets...
for the components KARR will be needing.
I'll alert local law enforcement.
Michael, do what you need to do, but please be careful.
Right.
lf anything happens to KITT....
Love you, too.
Eddie, come on, is that all he said?
I mean, you almost die and all they can say is...
"I'm sorry, but the battery in your pacemaker went bad"?
"Unexplained malfunction." That's what they said.
Kind of makes you think.
Makes you realize just how many things you've never done.
I'm getting out, John. Everything I got's for sale as of now.
You want the shop, you got it. The deal of your lifetime.
$5,000 down, interest-only payments for.... Till you get on your feet.
Eddie, I'm broke.
I mean, you keep talking to me like I got money.
lf I had the money, you'd have a deal.
I just hate to see you let this one slip through your fingers.
Think about it.
Maybe something will turn up.
Hello, John.
Why don't you get in? Just for old times' sake.
We don't have any old times. Get lost.
I'm a computer. I can't get lost.
But if you come on a little errand with me...
I'll get you the $5,000 you need.
You were listening? Why not?
lnterested? No.
Liar.
Get in.
What have you got to lose? $4 an hour won't buy much of a future.
For the first time in your life, do something for you.
The time is now. Don't wait.
Last chance, Aladdin.
Awfully quiet.
It's too quiet.
You're doing everything you can, Michael.
All KARR's possible targets have double security tonight.
ln the event of a break-in, we'll be notified immediately.
All right, let's raise Devon.
Good news, Michael.
Bonnie has mobilized every technician at the Foundation.
The laser is complete. We're on our way back.
Terrific. Give my regards to Bonnie, will you?
Anything at your end?
Well, if no news is good news, we're doing fine.
But between you and me, I don't feel very reassured.
You'll be more efficient if you relax.
And more comfortable.
Relax, right?
Press Turbo Boost.
Press it.
Good God!
KITT, roll the tape on all video units.
Get this signal straightened out, will you?
Get me patched in.
I'm doing what I can, Michael. The feed is disrupted.
All right, full pursuit to semi. Go for it!
Unless you want to be pressed right into the diesel block...
I wouldn't move, Mr. Miles.
And what's this? A laser.
lntended for me, no doubt.
I came for Alpha capacitors.
What an unexpected surprise.
I've got it. All right.
See who our mystery guest is.
It's him.
Would you care to be a little more specific? I wish I could.
I may not know his name, but I think I know how to find him.
Michael.
KITT!
Move to the cash computer, and I'll do the rest.
When it comes right down to it, I don't like this.
Go to the window, John. Let the magic begin.
Please enter your nine-digit secret code...
your date of birth, and your mother's maiden name.
Go ahead. Maybe you'll have better luck.
They punish you.
Pardon me?
The older you are, the harder they make it.
Oh, my! You're very good at this.
I thought they only gave out $100.
I guess it's a new policy.
My goodness!
They certainly don't resent you, do they?
Here you go. Oh, no, it's not mine.
It's yours.
Just think of it as a gift from the age of technology.
Gesture of respect.
You know, I wish you would have called.
You would have saved a whole lot of people a whole lot of grief.
What are you doing charging in like this? Where is he?
Who? Your boyfriend.
The guy who slipped out the back when I was here yesterday.
What do you want with him? Mandy, he's got the T-top I'm looking for.
You know it and I know it.
Look, if you're trying to protect him, he doesn't need protection. He needs help.
Now, what's his name? Where is he?
I have never seen so many people so crazy about a car before.
It's not just another car.
Among other things, it has a way of changing people.
Look, I'm not a cop. I'm not going to put anybody in jail.
Right.
I'll give it to you straight. Your boyfriend's in way over his head.
As a matter of fact, he's drowning.
And you're just about the only person on this earth who can save him right now.
Don't let him know I told you, okay?
Michael, he doesn't trust a lot of people.
I mean, he didn't mean to steal the car. He....
Just promise me nothing will happen to him.
I'll do my best, I promise you that.
His....
His name is John Stanton.
He works at Mr. D's Marina on the Seaside Road.
Thank you.
...60, 80, $5,000. You want to count it yourself?
I just did.
How long we gonna carry on this charade?
What charade?
I get out of the hospital, I come back to pay a few bills.
Next thing I know you're driving this hot new car...
buying me out in $20 bills you got in a shopping bag.
I been around.
I made some fast money myself.
Now, who's kidding who?
Take my word for it, Eddie...
you don't want to know.
I want to know.
All right.
Go ahead, say something.
How's the pacemaker, Eddie?
Do me a favor, will you, Bonnie?
The high-tensile reflectors you developed for KITT...
they still around?
Yes, I have them.
Oh, no.
Michael, you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?
Pull them out of mothballs, will you?
Can't discuss it right now. I'll see you when I see you.
But Michael, I....
I tell you, it's a fortune in gold.
My ex-brother-in-law drives the armored truck.
He says between three and five million each trip.
Each Wednesday.
Today is Wednesday.
Attaboy, KARR. Attaboy.
Don't call me "boy".
I can't believe this.
Eddie, you're talking about armed robbery. They put people in prison for that.
They gotta catch us first.
Hey, kid, everybody's got to roll the dice sooner or later.
The difference between winners and losers is timing.
I've been waiting a long time for the right timing.
It's here. Today.
There's only one problem.
I have no interest in gold. That's a uniquely human foible.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
Gold is money.
And whether you realize it or not, you need money.
You're gonna need parts.
A technician to keep you in top shape.
A safe place to hide out.
All that takes lots of money.
lnteresting point, Eddie. I hadn't thought of it in quite that way.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
It doesn't matter. I'm not staying here. I don't want any part of this.
Let him go.
Let him go?
Who's gonna drive you? Who's gonna handle all this?
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Yeah?
Then we got a deal?
Fifty-fifty? We have a deal, Eddie.
There it is, KITT. They inside?
ln the back garage, Michael, KARR and one person.
What are we going to do?
Not "we," buddy. "Me."
lf I take you any closer, KARR will scan you.
I'm banking on the fact that his surveillance mode may not have full range yet.
Michael, surely you're not thinking of going up against that monster alone.
I'm your only protection.
Wait a minute, KITT. What about John? I'm his only protection.
I can't just leave him in there.
One way or another, I gotta get him away from KARR.
Michael, to put it mildly, it's a long shot.
Yeah.
Well, it beats no shot at all.
We're gonna be millionaires.
Silence. We have an intruder.
KITT!
Damn! The time isn't right yet.
But when next we meet, you won't escape.
Michael, are you all right? I'm fine.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
All right, I want answers and I want answers fast. Where was that car going?
Did you fix it? Where's John Stanton?
I had nothing to do with it.
The Santa Cruz Canyon Bridge.
They're hitting an armored van this afternoon.
All right, if you're lying, I'll find you.
Endless Summer. Mandy, it's me.
John, where are you?
I can't talk now. Meet me at the pier in five minutes.
John?
Quick. Get in.
Let me out of here!
Stop struggling, you foolish girl.
What are you doing? Where's John?
I'm afraid he couldn't make it.
John. John?
Mandy?
The garage. Come here, quick.
Oh, no. No way.
Before you run off, there's something you ought to see.
Let her go! What is this? You don't need her!
No. I need you.
You wanted to desert me.
Abandon me, just like those people at that pompous Foundation.
How would you like me to slowly remove the air from the passenger compartment?
Have you ever seen someone explode in a vacuum?
No, I have a better idea.
Stop it!
Let her go! Let her go!
Okay, stop it. Whatever you want.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.
Very touching.
Get in.
Michael, it's been 12 hours since KARR hit the semi.
We'd better assume all his functions are at full strength.
Not to mention Bonnie's modified laser.
That's not the only thing I'm assuming, KITT.
You know, I think this whole thing may be a trap KARR's arranged.
I mean, think about it.
It's not like him to leave evidence or witnesses around.
That's a rather disconcerting thought, Michael.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Here we are.
But Michael, I doubled the power of the laser KARR took.
Do you got a better idea?
With a little more time, I'm sure we can come up with something.
Time is the operative word here. We don't have any.
Listen to reason.
KITT is not prepared to do battle with KARR.
I've got the information that's gonna give me one showdown with KARR.
I'm lucky to have that.
lf we miss this chance, we may not get another one.
Well, in my opinion, it's nothing short of suicide.
Devon, I really admire you, you know?
I admire your maturity, your wisdom, your sense of proportion.
I even like your tie.
But I'm telling you...
KITT and I are going out of here in three minutes with or without those reflectors...
or your blessing.
Go to work.
May I present our preliminary target?
Let us begin.
I've established our point of impact.
The bridge is old and weak.
What does he mean?
He means we're going to crash into it, if I know him.
I suggest you fasten your seatbelts.
It shouldn't be long.
Sliding into the back.
Why don't you finish your job?
You got them where you want them.
You don't even begin to understand what the job is.
It's the armored car.
No. That's the decoy.
Lo and behold, here comes the real target to the rescue...
just as I planned.
Michael, there's KARR.
What's he waiting for?
Unless I'm mistaken, us.
I detect our laser mounted under his scanner, Michael.
I wish you'd reconsider Devon's warning.
Hang in there, buddy. We're not dead yet.
KARR, let them go.
We're here. We're what you want.
Your impudence is amusing.
You're in no position to make demands.
Think about it, huh?
Mandy's not what you want. Neither is John.
I am.
You're never gonna be free until you defeat us.
Good.
I accept your challenge.
That was close.
Yeah, yeah, I want it to be close. Are you ready?
lf this plan of yours fails, I want you to know, it's been a beautiful partnership.
The feeling is mutual, pal. The feeling is mutual.
Very well.
lf you insist on a game of dodging, perhaps this will change your mind.
Michael, the men in the armored car.
Let's get over there, buddy. But, Michael....
Do it!
You all right?
I can't take another blow like that.
All right, prepare the high-tensile reflectors.
lf we can find the right angle, we're going to shatter that laser.
Goodbye, Michael Knight.
Now!
All right, pal, it's now or never.
He's vulnerable head-on.
lf I am destroyed...
so shall you be.
More power, KITT!
All right, KITT! We did it!
KITT?
KITT, you all right?
Come on, buddy, you all right?
Can you hear me?
KITT?
lf I say yes, will you promise...
we'll never have to do that again?
Never say never, partner.
Never say never.
Come on, what is it?
I promised not to tell. Promised who?
What's the matter? Don't you like surprises?
No, I hate them.
They make me nervous. Relax.
There it is. Check it out.
John's Marine?
The reward money just about equaled what you gave back to the bank.
What reward money?
For information leading to the recovery of KARR.
The Foundation posted it a couple years ago.
Mandy says this is how you wanted it invested.
Better watch out, man. She's already spending your money.
Thank you, Michael. You're welcome.
Take care. Bye. Thank you.
Michael.
What is this I hear about a $5,000 reward?
Don't worry, Devon, it's for a very good cause.
What good cause?
I demand an explanation.
When I think one up, you'll be the first to know.
