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.

..

Let's go! Come on! Let's go!

Push!

What's that noise?

What's going on here?

I don't know what that is?

Is that an airplane or what? I don't know.

Get your hands off me, man. Come on!

All right, KITT, let's try April's new device.

Michael, I have serious reservations

About this.

Hang on, buddy,

And get ready to make like a bird.

Michael, the release mechanism is malfunctioning.

Abort! Abort!

That's just too close for comfort.

You can say that again.

Looks like it's back to the drawing board, huh?

I'll have it fixed in 15 minutes.

Take a half an hour.

Just make sure it's perfect, okay?

Better yet, take an hour.

Will you relax? I know what I'm doing.

And I know what I'm not doing.

What's that, KITT?

I'm not going near another cliff.

Teetering on the edge of oblivion

Has spoiled my appetite for heights.

Don't worry, KITT.

There's been a change in the menu.

It's canapes and croissants for the next few days.

I assume you've both heard of Dr. Klaus Bergstrom.

Who hasn't?

His research in satellite laser technology

Has revolutionized the field.

Well, Dr. Bergstrom is visiting from Sweden

To attend an international symposium

On the peaceful application of the technology.

A great number of people, including his wife,

Are deeply concerned for his well-Being.

There are governments who would use his knowledge for other purposes.

From what I've heard, his well-Being isn't a problem.

Meaning?

What is Swedish for "life in the fast lane"?

Enough. We've been asked to help.

Wait a minute.

Einstein or not, I'm not interested in playing baby-Sitter to...

It's not a question of baby-Sitting.

We've been asked to help Dr. Bergstrom's stay

To be pleasant and as uneventful as possible.

His niece, by the way, is with him.

You could show them the sights.

The sights? I'm... I'm a terrible tour guide.

I... I always get lost.

Only when you want to.

The Foundation is hosting a reception

For Dr. Bergstrom at 3:00 sharp.

And please, see that you are dressed appropriately.

A scientist and his niece from Sweden.

What am I going to say to a scientist and his niece from Sweden?

I don't... I don't know even know a word of Swedish.

Neither do I.

My father's Swedish, my mother's American.

And I was born here in the States.

Actually, I lied.

I can say Ja, but that's about it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ah, luckily, there's not a lot of call for Swedish

In behavioral psych these days.

You can't be a psychologist. You don't have a beard.

Oh, that's because I just graduated.

The beard grows in later.

Oh!

You know, with your uncle going to all these meetings,

Seems like you're gonna have lots of free time on your hands.

Oh, for the first time in my life.

You know, I just graduated two weeks ago

And, uh, suddenly, I'm a free woman.

Any idea what I can do with all this independence?

Well...

Ah, careful, Christina. He's a terrible tour guide.

He always gets lost.

No, that's not true.

I know the city like the back of my hand.

That's a remarkable improvement, Michael, in less than an hour.

I see you've met Christina.

This is her uncle, Dr. Klaus Bergstrom.

Michael Knight.

I'm so pleased to meet you, Michael.

It's nice to meet you, Doctor.

Excuse me, Mr. Miles.

Excuse me, I'll be back in a moment.

A moment is all I need.

Once this affair breaks up, where does, um,

A bashful Swede go to see the sights?

Well, that depends on what kind of sights you're looking for.

That is simple. The kind that a travel agent

Would not think of recommending.

Uncle Klaus, you promised.

Research, Christina.

After all, America is a fascinating country.

I must study it in detail, yes?

Yes, I understand.

Keep me informed on any further developments.

Thank you.

I must speak with you immediately. Alone.

Do excuse us, please.

Garthe Knight has escaped from prison.

Escaped?

Yes.

How?

So far, the only detail we have

Is that a massive truck broke through the prison walls.

It's Goliath.

I'm afraid so. But how?

Such passion.

Is it me you love, or freedom?

Only a fool would answer that question.

You have exquisite tastes, Adrianne.

How much is this costing me?

I broke you out of prison.

Don't talk to me about dollars and cents.

Goliath broke me out of prison.

And I rebuilt Goliath.

Resurrected him from a burnt-Out shell in the desert.

Just as I directed this project from the beginning.

Never forget that.

The dungeon. Is it as I requested?

Exactly.

Good.

What about the other?

Look for yourself.

Dr. Moritz completed the tertiary state of reconstruction yesterday.

You'll be very pleased.

Everything is going exactly as I promised it would.

Even Goliath's weaknesses have been eliminated.

He's completely invulnerable now.

Fantastic.

And the biodata implant?

In place and functioning beautifully.

Much like the IV apparatus introduces medicine

Drop by drop into the bloodstream,

The biodata unit is slowly programming the patient's brain

With every detail of the subject's life and personality.

Second by second, 24 hours a day.

The only information it doesn't have, though,

Is what's happened in the last 24 hours.

When do the bandages come off?

Tomorrow.

You see, Garthe, everything is under control.

And on schedule.

No, not quite everything.

There's still one crucial matter I have to attend to.

Later. You can take care of that later.

Actually, I first went online in a mainframe in Washington,

But the government bureaucracy never suited me. Too stuffy.

I know exactly what you mean!

I have spent half my life with dried-Out bureaucrats

Who have dust in their veins instead of blood.

I'm much happier at the Foundation.

Of course, I still have to deal with human beings.

Well, you're not exactly a cold beer on a hot day either, pal.

Moody, temperamental, and almost no sense of humor.

I beg your pardon,

I have a highly developed sense of humor.

For example

Have you heard the one about the man

Who walked into the bar with a horse?

Ah, later.

We're here. And not a moment too soon.

Christina.

Good night, KITT.

Perhaps a fast game of chess before I leave?

I'd be delighted.

There are still 642 variations

Of the Stravinchy defense I'd like to try.

And afterwards, we could discuss your work

In laser technology.
