Knight Rider

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.

What are you doing here? I need a towel.

Help yourself.

Hey, I told you not to go outside.

How am I supposed to protect you if you keep running away from me...

every chance you get? Oh, Michael, I was underwater.

No one could see me there, no?

What ever happened to those neat little clip-On numbers I used to get when I was a kid?

They were great. Yes, wait, wait. I'll do this for you.

So, you've had some experience at this, huh?

Some.

Recently?

Why be so secretive? I mean,

After all, we are living together.

Working together.

Just trying to be friendly.

After you prevent my father's assassination,

Then I can tell you all about me.

And, uh, you can tell me all about you.

And we will have a lovely time. Hmm?

There.

How's that? Thank you.

I feel silly.

Well, you look so handsome.

All the girls will love you madly.

Jealous? Of course not.

Because, uh, at the end of the evening,

You will come home to me, right?

She's dangerous.

Get closer

Hold her hand

Are you ready to be briefed before you attend this, uh, party?

Rudy del Fuego hosting a bunch of assassins isn't my idea of a party.

I suppose you also find it tedious to conduct your surveillance from a rented beach house.

All expenses paid by the Foundation, of course.

And the girl too. I mean, don't forget the beautiful girl I'm living with.

Working with.

What's that, KITT? San Mirada.

A militaristic state until the recent election of President Eduardo Casafranca.

Maria Elena's father?

Yes, there's been a slight change. He's arriving a day early...

to attend the international equestrian show.

Then he'll continue his appearances as scheduled,

In spite of the threats on his life.

Who's that? Your host, Rudy del Fuego.

The man who had the most to lose when Casafranca was elected.

Yeah, and the most to gain by his assassination.

One thing's for sure... he's not gonna pull the trigger himself.

His kind never does.

This is David Burns. An American investor in San Mirada's emerald mines...

and the most likely coconspirator.

Myjob is to find the hired gun. Any ideas, KITT?

Yes, I think a striped tie would be very nice with that suit.

Or perhaps a simple paisley, don't you think?

I'll park it myself. Thanks.

Hey, it's okay. I've driven one of these before.

It's been acting kind of funny, so if you'll just point out a good spot.

Whatever. Anywhere along there will be fine.

Thank you.

Some guys will do anything to save a buck.

It's gonna cost him plenty.

Rudy.! Margo.!

I'm so glad you made it. I thought you were out of town.

- I was. - Paul, it's so nice to see you.

Welcome.

Thank you very much.

Here you are, my love.

Hey, Marcello. How's Nancy?

Hey, Larry, you son of a gun.

How long has it been? Did you see my wife Kiki?

Please go inside. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

That's one.

Hello, darling. How have you been?

Hello. Fine. How are you?

It was Rio, wasn't it? Two years ago, last spring?

Rio? You must try Rudy's hot tub, darling.

It'll bring back memories.

Well, I'd love to, but I didn't bring my swimsuit.

Your swimsuit?

We didn't meet in Rio, did we?

Forgive me. I didn't recognize you with your clothes on.

I mean... Never mind.

Try Rudy's hot tub anyway.

Hmm. That's two.

Nice seeing you. Maurice.

Sorry. That's off-Limits.

Oh, somebody down there told me this was the bathroom.

Well, obviously, somebody down there is mistaken.

Why don't you try it again?

Rio. Two years ago, last spring? No.

There's a guy who looks just like you. No?

No.

Um... Oh, it's you.

- Thank you. - For what?

For the champagne, remember?

Oh, the cha... Yeah, of course, I remember. It was my pleasure.

Hmm. Actually, I'd already decided that...

I had more than enough, but, well, since you delivered it so nicely...

What's your name anyway? My name is Michael.

Hey, no kidding? They ever call you Mickey?

- Never. - It's a good thing.

It could get confusing. I mean, 'cause that's my name... Micki with an "i."

I know it's a dumb name, but it's the only one I got.

What's the matter? You all right?

No, I don't feel so good.

I think it was that last glass of champagne.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay. I'm a big girl now.

But I think I'd better go find someplace to lie down.

All right. You take it easy, okay?

Try to get out of this one, buddy.

So, you trust this man, huh? This Frenchman.

He's the best. Purely professional.

No political or personal axes to grind.

Not like us, huh, David?

That's your business.

All I care about is protecting my investments.

You seem to be doing all right.

It's all on credit.

Everything I have went into San Mirada's emerald mines...

on your assurances that your friends would remain in power there.

We both have a great deal to lose, my friend.

Let's go down and enjoy the party.

There is a young lady I want you to meet.

Oh, hi.

I must have fallen asleep.

It's real comfy. It's a little warm maybe, but...

KITT, go in your surveillance mode and meet me at the door.

Hey, what's going on?

I would have been here sooner, but you didn't tip the valet.

Car just left here, KITT, with two guys.

And a female in the backseat, apparently unconscious.

They turned right at the end of the driveway.

It's a gray Seville.

- Shall we overtake them? - No, not just yet.

I wanna make sure I know where they're headed.

- So, what are we gonna do with her? - Let's keep it simple.

There's a whole ocean out there. We might as well use it.

- Grab her! She's trying to get out! - Let go of me!

Aah!

- What's going on? - They seem to be out of control.

Let's go.

Aah! Get the wheel! I can't see! Stop it!

Crazy broadjumped out.

I'm afraid that was your unconscious female.

Let's cut 'em off.

Hey, who's that guy anyway?

Let's get going.

Michael, you're letting them get away.

I know, KITT, but we gotta make sure the girl's okay.

Think it'll hold, KITT?

My winch apparatus was not designed for mountain climbing.

But I'm willing to risk it if you are.

You're one lucky lady.

There you go.

All right, KITT. Let's go!

KITT. KITT!

Michael, the pulley is overheated. I'm cooling it now.

It's ready now. Terrific!

A temporary memory loss? You mean, she has amnesia?

Not exactly. The doctor said that sometimes...

a trauma can cause a psychological block.

It's possible she could remember a few things.

I don't want her interfering with your work.

Devon, all I know is those two guys from the party, they didn't take her for a joyride.

Okay, okay, but what if she's a spy?

How can we be sure that she's not secretly working for... for Rudy?

Probably because Rudy tried to have her killed.

What I wanna do is find out why.

I don't like this. I don't like the...

We are playing right into the hands of that jackal.

Trust doesn't come too easy for you, does it?

There's no time left for trust.

But you didn't check to see if she was dead.

She went over. I saw it. When that car got in the way,

Well, I figured the best thing to do was to get outta there fast.

The best thing to do is to finish the job.

This wouldn't have happened in my country.

In your country, Rudy, they shoot first and ask questions later.

I want you to check the beach for tire marks. Anything. Watch her house.

If she's dead, get rid of the body.

If she's alive, I wanna know who she talked to and what she said.

Yes, sir. Let's go.

Should we tell the Frenchman about the girl?

You don't inform professionals of that sort.

You simply hire and pay them.

In that case, I once again...

put my trust in you, David Burns.

- Cheers. - Isn't it a little early for this?

Never too early to celebrate success and friendship.

Hey, lovely color...

the color of money.

Hey, this is useless. We can't even get down there.

So, what are we gonna do?

We come back in the daylight with a boat. Come on.

Get closer
