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.

Wonderful.

Nice!

Thank you, my darling.

My friends,

We have some refreshments down below.

Please come with me.

Eduardo.

We've just received a message.

They have got to move tonight.

Make the necessary arrangements.

Yes, operator.

I would like Calexico, California.

Look, I don't care what time it is, Elmo.

You get your butt out there.

They're expecting that delivery at Boca Culebra by dawn.

Friday, 2:30 a. M.

It's the third crossing. Same vehicles.

A van and two trucks, one heavily guarded.

I'm gonna try and follow the vehicles to their destination.

Hey! Over there!

Stop!

Stop!

That's Mexico across the border, KITT.

What do you think?

I think it looks exactly like California.

Some traveler you'd make.

Michael, I really don't understand borders and different countries.

You're all people, aren't you?

Sure, but we've got different languages, cultures, customs.

Of course, but why compartmentalize yourselves?

Wouldn't it be easier to Just live together

Without all these artificial lines?

Probably,

But you'd sure put a lot of politicians out of business.

Very funny.

Well, Michael, what do you think of Calexico?

Looks good so far.

You sure this is where she's staying?

Yes, Michael.

This is the address Devon gave us.

Look at that. "Payoff suspected. "

You know what they did.

They killed him. They murdered him.

And then stuffed $5,000 in his pocket

And left him lying in the dust like a common criminal.

You said your husband was killed because he got too close.

Too close to what?

I don't know.

Arthur worked for the Attorney General's office.

He often handled cases he couldn't talk about.

Joanna, since this was a federal investigation,

Maybe you should let the government look into it.

Oh, no.

The government, in its infinite wisdom

Would pursue this with the ardor

And alacrity of a hippopotamus.

I need somebody who can function outside the bureaucracy.

That's why I called the Foundation.

All right.

You said you went through Arthur's things.

Did you find anything useful?

I'm not sure.

I found this scribbled in his checkbook.

"Boca Culebra. "

Mouth of the Snake.

I have no idea of its significance,

If it's significant at all.

And this.

I found this hidden under the seat of his rented car.

Are you sure this is where they found him?

I came out with the police. Why?

Because there hasn't been much traffic

Through here except for these tracks

And they run parallel to the border, not across it.

KITT, what have you got on these tracks, huh?

Are you talking to me?

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

KITT, say hello to Joanna.

Hello, Joanna.

That's my computer, my partner, and my friend.

Thank you, Michael.

The size of the tracks indicate a larger tire,

Probably on a four-Wheel drive vehicle.

The treads indicate newer tires.

Michael.

Arthur's rental was a new four-Wheel drive.

Come on, hop in.

Let's find out where those tracks come from.

Michael, the tracks end here.

It looks like an army moved through here.

Michael?

This looks like the same piece of pottery you found in his car.

Hey, KITT, take a look at this and give me a reading on it.

Right away, Michael.

The material is composed of fine particles

Of hydrous aluminum silicates.

Yeah, in other words, clay. I know that.

There is also an unusual concentration of gold flakings

On the inside of each piece of material.

Gold?

Yes.

My guess is the clay was molded

Around a rather substantial core of pure gold.

All right, look, the odds are I won't find a thing out there tonight.

But if I do,

It's not gonna be anything you should be involved with.

Well, thanks for the concern, but I already am involved.

And I've never cared much for the sidelines.

Michael, I respect your professional judgment.

But Arthur was my husband.

I can't just stand by and hope

That someone finds his murderer.

I'll go along with you this time.

Fair warning, though. Once is my limit.

Okay.

You've had your say. Now it's my turn.

Joanna,

I've never been married, but I've been in love

And I know how hard it is to lose that.

Look, I can only guess

What you're going through right now,

But I know it's probably the hardest thing you ever had to face.

Joanna, you're stretched tighter than a drum.

I can see it in your eyes.

You know, it's okay to cry.

You see a guy come running out here a second ago?

Nope. You've got the whole track to yourself.

Keep an eye on that guy, KITT.

If he's got a car, trace it.

I've got him in my sights.

Check target eye position.

Many years ago,

A Yaqui shaman told me that the history of mankind

Is a history of war.

If that is true, and I believe it to be,

You and I will soon stand together

Shoulder to shoulder among the greatest warriors of the past.

You can have the notoriety, Eduardo.

I will settle for the money.

Well, I will settle for nothing less than both.

I'm not sure what's going on down here,

But it's a lot more than illegal aliens

And a lawyer framed to look like he was in on the take.

Well, the gold you mentioned would certainly confirm that.

I'll see what I can turn up, Michael.

KITT ran a trace on a guy outside Joanna's motel.

Any luck?

We're making some progress.

His name is David Dalton.

His present address is Washington, DC,

But he's been there for less than a year.

What does this guy do for a living?

I'm feeding all the information to KITT now.

Thanks, Devon. I'll keep you posted.

So, the plot thickens.

Bet this guy David Dalton's not down in Mexico

Looking for the world's greatest burrito.

And what are we looking for?

We are going back to the border, pal,

To see if lightning strikes twice.

KITT, can you give me a reading on what's inside those trucks?

Yes, Michael. The vans are carrying people.

The truck is filled with crates of...

Pottery.

All right, just what I figured. Make like a decoy.

I wanna get inside that truck and take a closer look.

Whoa!

Stop!

Let's get him!

Let's follow him!

I think this has gone far enough.

Adios, amigos.

Come on back. Come on back.

Come on straight back. Come on back.

That's it.

All right, let's get it unloaded.

Come on, move!

You got the tailgate down.

Come on, let's move it!

Out.
