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.

Watch it, you jerk! You wanna blow us all to kingdom come!

I wouldn't do that, Alex.

And we're all here celebrating because of Miss Wade and Mr. Miles.

Without their help, we'd be in deep trouble,

Dried out by Herb Bremen.

But, boy, I gotta tell ya, when I saw a lady lawyer...

from the Foundation for Law and Government was representin' us in our case,

I really got a little nervous there.

But seriously, folks, seriously, they did a bang-Upjob.

We've finally beaten Bremen.

Just hurry up. Let's plant this and get out ofhere.

If Bremen knew that you brought your brother along, he'd fire us both.

Come on. Come on.

And according to the courts, our water finally belongs to who it should belong to... us.

Let's just hope you're right.

What's that supposed to mean?

Only that for the last year, Bremen's been trying to steal our rights legally.

Now that he can't, who knows what tactics he might resort to.

Gee, Grandpa, what's Mom so mad about? We won, didn't we?

Well, in court we did. That's right, Kev.

But, you see, in the real world, it's not that way.

Miss Wade, Mr. Miles, we'd all just like to present you...

with a little token of our appreciation.

Oh.

Thank you.

I'm sure I speak for all of my colleagues at the Foundation who worked so diligently on this matter.

It has been a privilege to represent you in this fight.

And it's a special pleasure to win.

Now I'm sure Mr. Miles would like to thank you all personally. Devon?

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, it really has been a very great pleasure to have been able to help you.

That, after all, is what the Foundation is about.

And we certainly appreciate your kind, uh, gift.

It has been my experience in the past...

- What the hell was that? -

It looks like it's near the catchment basin!

It isn't near the catchment basin. It is the catchment basin!

I warned you all Bremen wouldn't give up so easily, but you thought I was just paranoid.

Well, Mr. Miles, your legal victory doesn't mean diddly if they cut off our water.

- What are we gonna do? - Well, first we better go fix the basin and fast.

Do you think they'll want their trophy back?

We may have left these people with an even more serious problem than they had to begin with.

- Do you have any ideas? - Only one. Michael Knight.

Anyway, as I was saying, wejust won a lawsuit...

that will enable eight small ranches to keep the water that rightfully belongs to them.

However, the plaintiff, one Herb Bremen, now seems determined...

to resort to illegal acts to deprive them of that water.

- And you want me to stop him, right? - Exactly.

For how long? I mean, I can go up there and stop him for a month or a week,

But how do we stop him permanently?

That's no problem. I'm attempting to get a peace bond,

Which is an injunction against this sort of harassment.

- Meaning? - Meaning that if there is any more hanky-Panky,

The courts will hold Herb Bremen personally responsible.

So you want me to cover you guys till you get this peace bond?

Okay, how long will that take? It could take anywhere from a week to 10 days,

Depending upon how much of a stiff the judge is.

All right. That doesn't seem to be too much of a problem.

All I gotta do is stop this Bremen guy from messing with the ranchers' water...

for up to, uh, 10 days.

Well, it's slightly more complicated than that, I'm afraid.

Like how? We can't go into court with dirty hands.

Which means if the ranchers engage in any extra-Legal activity against Mr. Bremen,

The judge will throw the whole thing out.

All right. I got ya. Where do I start?

With Francesca Morgan. She's not only their leader,

She's also almost as impulsive as you are...

stubborn, rebellious constantly indignant.

As a matter of fact, I can't think of two people who deserve each other more.

All right, I got it. Stop him, stop her, make sure no one gets hurt.

You got it. See ya.

All finished. What have you done to the monster now?

Yeah.

I've just increased his capabilities enormously.

You see, you just push this button. Uh-Huh.

And a grappling hook shoots out the back. Really?

My! What a remarkable fisherman KITT would make.

Give him a chance to cool down, Sam.

We had a good ride.

So? Piece of cake, boss.

Real clean operation, Mr. B. It should stop 'em for a while.

I hope you're right, Alex. I don't like losing.

Like the lawsuit I filed. I should've made sure of the judge in the first place.

Francesca, my dear. I see you took the shortcut.

- Just like you do all the time, Herb. - It's good to see you. Come on in. Have a drink.

I'm here for one reason, and one reason only...

to serve notice on you.

We beat you in court, and now you're playin'dirty.

Well, you're not foolin' anybody, and you're not gettin' away with it!

Back off, Herb. I'm warnin' ya.

Just back off!

Now there's a pain we can deal with.

Let me at her. She thinks she owns the whole world.

Don't underestimate her. She's got more guts than the rest of'em, and she's their rallying point.

But I think if we take away their water long enough,

The whole valley will be mine by default.

Tell Mr. Bremen that the Knight Foundation...

is sending out some special hotshot out to help the ranchers.

Okay. We'll handle it.

Oh, Pop, how's it going?

Oh, it's rough. But with a little luck, we oughta have it repaired by sundown.

Ma, are we gonna let Bremen get away with this?

- No, honey, we're not. - Then what are we gonna do?

I don't know yet, but I'll think of something.

Kevin, they had a problem just like this in a place called Lincoln County in 1870.

What'd they do, Grandpa? Well, it's a long story,

So walk with me over here, and I'll tell you all about it.

Morning, KITT. I gotta tell you...

you're better than any hotel.

That was a great night's sleep and a, uh, a terrific dream.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, Michael.

I believe we have a problem. I've picked up some very large metallic objects directly ahead.

Okay, I'm gonna take over.

That's the car.! It says "KNIGHT."

Bremen heard he was comin' to help the ranchers.

Do you get the feeling they're a little hostile? Feelings don't enter into it.

I can think of no friendly reason for their present deployment.

Have we got room to jump? Of course we can jump.

But I can't guarantee where or how we'll land.

Easy as squishin' a bug.

He can't get outta here now!

Are they serious?

They don't know you like I do. Now, KITT!

- Like this, Michael? - Just like this.

That was a close one. I wonder how they knew we were coming?

Are you positive it was a deliberate assault on us?

- No question about it. - How can you be so sure?

Because earthmovers don't mate this time of year.

Easy!

Turn around real slow, young fella. Keep those hands showin;

Now, who are you and what do you want here?

I'm not looking for a part in a western, especially the bad guy.

I'm Michael Knight. Devon Miles asked me to stop by.

Harry, get over here.! Come on, Harry.!

If you've got some I.D., I'd like to see it, please.

Yes, sir. Sir, I do.

He's all right, Fran.

That remains to be seen.

Sorry to be so inhospitable, son,

But things have been mighty tense around these parts.

- Welcome to the Double-M Ranch. - Thank you.

I'm Josh Morgan, and this is my daughter-In-Law, Fran, and my grandson, Kevin.

Gee, what a neat car!

- You like it, huh? - Sure beats the cars we got around here.

Well, I've got work to do, Mr. Knight.

If you want to talk, you'll have to talk in the barn.

You comin', Kevin? In a minute, Gramp.

Just wanna take another look.

Hey, Mr. Knight, do you wanna go see my mare?

- Sure. But you gotta call me Michael, okay? - Okay.

Okay.

Harry, go away. I am not a tree.

Dog, what do you think you're doing? I'm not a fire hydrant.

Some days there's just no winning.

This is my horse, Terra. She's due any day now.

Boy, she's real pretty, Kevin, like she'd throw a great foal.

The reason I'm here... Devon Miles suggested I might be of some help.

Just what we need... another lawyer.

Listen, I'm not a lawyer. I heard you've been having some problems.

But if you're not interested in me helping you, I'll be happy to leave.

Kevin, go change your clothes. We'll be leaving for the basin in a few minutes.

All right, Mom.

Look, Mr. Knight, if we can't solve this problem ourselves,

Just what the hell good is one man like you gonna be?

Oh, come on, Fran!

Mr. Knight, in this part of the country, water is more valuable than land.

We run about 6,000 head of cattle between eight spreads,

And each head needs 14 gallons a day.

Fourteen gallons a day. That's 84,000 gallons a day,

Each day, 365 days a year.

Even without Herb Bremen's interference, we're barely managing to survive.

We've had a dry winter two years running, and our acre feet are down 30 percent.

Now, just how do you propose to help us?

Look, uh, I think I'll be better at fixing Mr. Bremen's wagon than you are.

Look, Mr. Knight, you do your spying,

Or whatever it is you do, and leave the rest to me.

I've got my own idea how things should be done. Agreed?

- You got it. - I'll see you at the basin later.

Oh, by the way, you can stay in the house.

We've got plenty of room since our help quit.

Don't mind her, Mr. Knight.

Oh, I don't. I think she's kinda gutsy.

Well, she's been livin' under a lot of pressure since my son Billy died.

Seems like she's fightin' a whole war single-Handed.

And she almost is. Been hard on her.

I'm gettin'too old to be much help. Kevin's too young.

She's got this whole place to worry about.

I'd like to do what I can to help. I bet you would.

Oh, and by the way, an acre foot is enough water...

to cover an acre of land with a foot of water.

Oh.

Or to flush 70,000 johns a year.

Or enough to keep every head of cattle in this valley watered for four days.

Whichever is more important to you.

So you can store your stuff in the house there, and then I'll show you the ranch.
