Knight Rider (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 1 - A Knight in Shining Armor - full transcript

Will you excuse me
for a moment?

Hurry back.

I have the
package in sight.

Sarah? Sarah?

Sarah, can you hear me?

We're on our way.

Where's Mike Traceur?

We can do this the easy way
or the very, very hard way.

KITT.

Yes, Michael?

Sarah's not responding.



My sensors have picked up Sarah.

She is in the vault room. You are
not in the vault room with her.

Yeah. I got hung up.

Michael, you have less than
two minutes to make contact,

acquire the package
and retrieve the files.

Not a problem.

Hold it.

Will you excuse me?

The Ambassador's
going to be more than

a little upset by your
treatment of his guests.

Sarah has been joined by
four men and they are armed.

Guys, what are we
doing? Come on. Really?

KITT, get me to Sarah now.

Take the staircase
on your left



for the fastest
route to Sarah.

Keep your eyes peeled, KITT.

Michael, I do not have eyes.

It's a figure of speech.
Which floor?

Basement level.

Michael, security has discovered
the loop I have programmed

into their surveillance system.

They are moments away from
detecting the source of my tap.

I am moving as fast as I can.

You would probably move faster
if you ate a healthy diet,

decreased your alcohol intake,

and reduced the extracurricular
activity with your lady friends.

I might as well be dead.

Your death will not help Sarah
in her current situation.

Where's the package?

I have lost contact
with the package.

It appears to have vanished.

I have detected a co-opt of the
consulate's security system.

It appears the men with Sarah
may have a plan similar to ours.

Do we know who they are?

Negative, Michael.

Do they have the package?

It does not appear so.

Their weapons indicate
they are not consulate guards.

If they don't have the package,
then they're after the files.

Michael,
Sarah has the files.

I know.
That means they have Sarah.

You must have a very high
opinion of Mike Traceur

if you're willing to risk the amount
of pain I'm about to inflict upon you.

He would do
the same for me.

You have no idea
who he is, do you?

Michael, Sarah's heart rate and
respiration have suddenly increased.

They are rising rapidly.

Last chance.
Where's Mike Traceur?

Michael, you have turned
the wrong way. Right, not left.

You said left!

No, Michael, I said left.

Left, right, left, right, left.

Dude, you're confusing me!

- Please, remain calm.
- I am calm!

My surveillance tap has been detected.
Security knows we are here.

You, that way.
Go, go.

There are consulate guards moving
in on you from every direction.

And two armed men
outside the vault room.

A little late, KITT.
Stay where you are.

Michael, I am being detained.

Hey! Well,
get un-detained.

Hey, guys, do you know
where the bathroom is?

'Cause I've got to pee.

Please step away from the car, or I will
be forced to take defensive measures.

Dude, the car's
talking to us.

Big deal. My car talks
to me. It's called GPS.

Yes, but can your car do this?

Move back!
Move back!

Fire!

Michael, Sarah is in distress.

Check the door.

I see you still have
your reflexes, Traceur.

Who the hell are you?

I hate needles!

What was that for?

'Cause I thought
I was going to die.

KITT, where are you?

But...

I am almost
at your location, Sarah,

but I have attracted
some attention.

I suggest you and Michael get to the
rendezvous point as quickly as possible.

Mike.

What?

The guy with the syringe kept
asking for Mike Traceur.

They weren't
after the files?

No, I've got the files.
They were after you.

Clear.

Give me your hand.

KITT, there's
no time for you to stop.

Now would be a good time to
use the new program I uploaded.

What new program?

That one.

How did he do that?

Mike, you really should pay
attention in the briefings.

Sarah is right,
Michael, you should.

Prepare for transformation.

Transformation complete.

Occupant Restraint System active.

Were you able to identify
the men in the vault room?

I was not, Sarah.

Whoever they were,
they were very good

at getting in and getting
out without being seen.

What about the package?

My sensors are unable
to penetrate to that depth,

but the only way out undetected

is through one of the underground
passageways beneath the consulate.

You lost the package?

"Lost" is
such a harsh word.

Michael, Sarah,
we have a problem.

What kind of problem?

That kind of problem.

Impact in 30 seconds.

- Deploy flares.
- Twenty-nine...

KITT, stop the countdown
and deploy the damn flares.

Michael, deploying flares...

KITT, deploy the flares!

Deploying flares.

Flares are ineffective, Michael.

As I was trying to tell you, I cooled my
heat signature to ambient air temperature.

The missile is not homing in on me,
Michael. It is homing in on you.

What do you want
me to do, get out?

That would be a fatal error, Michael.

My sensors indicate something
unusual about this warhead.

I may not be programmed
to respond correctly.

What does he mean,
"Respond correctly"?

Please remain calm.

I have relayed our situation
to Dr. Graiman.

I am certain he is working
on a solution, as we speak.

Emergency.
Missile is locked on target.

There is no solution.

Missile impact in 20 seconds.

Nineteen, 18, 17, 16, 15...

This just
got interesting.

... 14, 13, 12, 11, 10,

nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four...

Prepare for impact.

... three, two, one.

KITT, it's getting
hot in here.

KITT converted just enough
power at exactly the right moment

to withstand that missile.

He's learning.
Just like he's supposed to.

The explosive material in the missile
has attached itself to my outer skin.

- Shed it.
- I cannot.

Analyze it.

It appears to be
an advanced form of napalm

with chemical attributes
similar to that of rocket fuel.

How do we put it out?

We do not. We have to
wait for it to burn out.

KITT, the chances of Mike and I
surviving the rising temperature...

Are one in 997,000.

That is so not good.

I have diverted 60 percent
of my power to cooling,

but I am afraid it is not
as effective as I had hoped.

Worse case
scenario, KITT?

When the temperature
reaches 212 degrees,

you will be boiled alive
in your own bodily fluids.

Best case scenario?

You will be unconscious
before it happens.

We need the files
they retrieved.

This isn't a zip drive, Alex.

Those are massive
encrypted files.

Uploading now would drain the power from
the systems keeping Sarah and Mike alive.

They lost the package,
Charles.

If it falls into
the wrong hands,

every file we have
will be compromised,

including the lists of
our undercover operatives.

If we lose the files, too...
That's my daughter in there.

I know, Charles. I know.

But they have
to upload the files.

Billy, open a line to Sarah.

Zoe, get me a secure line
with Israeli Intelligence.

This is Alex Torres.

- Dad.
- Sarah.

We need you
to upload the files.

Dr. Graiman, diverting
even the smallest amount of power

at this time will cause a substantial
increase in the internal temperature.

KITT, turn off
all unnecessary systems.

Billy, figure out how
to put out this damn fire.

Initiating simulation.

Initiating simulation.

Oh, God, don't
get any ideas.

Me? You're the one
who just locked lips.

It was the heat
of the moment, Mike.

I suggest you take
off your clothes.

Okay.

Our bodies can't withstand
the excessive temperature.

You're right.

Sarah is correct, Michael.

Removing your clothes will reduce your core
temperature, thereby delaying your death.

Oh!

Michael, please
be careful as you disrobe.

Your arm is coming perilously
close to the window control.

If you open the window, you will
both be instantly incinerated.

Like I'm trying
to get us killed.

I suggest you both refrain
from speaking unnecessarily,

as your oxygen supply
is running low.

Oxygen supply at 50 percent.

Fire neutralized.

Simulation complete.

Billy, what
have you got?

We need KITT
to increase his speed.

If he hits 377 miles per hour,
the fire will be neutralized.

Oxygen supply...

How close are we
going to cut it?

Within seconds
of their lives.

KITT, you need
to increase your speed.

Increasing my speed while uploading
the encrypted files will drain power

necessary to keep
Sarah and Michael alive.

Yeah. Not a good idea.

Billy has a plan.

Billy?

Thanks for the vote
of confidence.

Sure hope it works,
because if it doesn't...

We've never hit speeds that
high before, even in Attack Mode.

Oxygen supply at 20 percent.

It should have worked!

Billy, it's not working.

It should have
worked, unless...

Unless the chemical compound is
fusing with KITT's biomaterial,

causing a molecular
reassembly.

Bring them in hot.
Whoa.

That fire gets close to the
weapons room, we're all dead!

We bring them in,
in the middle

of a noncontrollable molecular
reassembly, we're worse than dead.

We'll bring them into the tunnel,
we'll shut the emergency doors,

suck out all the air.

Without oxygen,
the fire can't breathe.

Without oxygen they
can't breathe, either.

KITT, we're bringing you in hot. Uh...

Affirmative, Dr. Graiman.

Michael? Sarah?

Dr. Graiman, Michael and Sarah
have lost consciousness.

How close are they?

At KITT's current speed, they'll
be in the tunnel in 15 seconds.

Put medical and fire
teams on alert.

Dr. Graiman,
as FBI Agent In Charge,

I cannot allow you
to bypass security protocol.

Sarah and Mike will die.

Carrie, we don't have
time for this, please.

Bypass security protocol.
Alpha, delta, five, seven, three.

Security bypassed.

Emergency.
Hangar doors opening.

Reentry unstable.

Emergency procedures
in effect.

Warning, molecular reassembly
in progress. Excessive heat.

Dr. Graiman, Michael
and Sarah have no oxygen.

Please open the door.

Billy, there's no oxygen
in that tunnel.

You need to open
the doors, now!

Working on it.

We do not have time
for you to work on it, Billy.

Michael and Sarah will die
without oxygen immediately.

I am coming in.
Please open the door.

Molecular reassembly halted.

Impact imminent.

Billy, open
the damn doors!

I can't override
the emergency system.

Billy, if the door is not opened
immediately, I will crash into it.

Billy!

Three, two, one...

Impact averted.
Oxygen supply enhanced.

Let's
cool it off first.

That was awesome.

Zoe, I believe that "awesome"

is not the appropriate
word for this situation.

Ready?

Deep breaths.
Deep breaths.

KITT! Are you okay?

I am fine, Sarah.
Are you okay?

I was worried about
you and Michael.

You were worried about us?

Yes.

You're a computer, KITT.
You can't worry.

Artificial intelligence, Michael.

There is a difference. I have run
it through my database several times,

and I believe "worry"
is the appropriate word.

I need some clothes, here.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'm okay.

Are you all right? How
do you feel? Thank you.

Not too fast.
I've got it. I've got it.

You all right?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Billy, once I complete
my system diagnostics,

I will point out where you went
wrong in your calculations.

Thank you, KITT.

Owned.

Listen, Zoe, I have advanced
degrees in applied physics,

quantum physics, electrical and
mechanical engineering, chemistry,

as well as discrete
and applied mathematics.

And I speak nine languages.
We should make a baby.

Really?
No.

The mission
was compromised.

The mission was compromised because
you hit on every woman in the consulate.

I was undercover.

As what, a pimp?

Four men were waiting in the vault
room and they asked for me by name.

Who were they?
I have no idea.

They weren't after
the package or the files,

but they knew
I would be there.

Are you implying
that we have a leak?

They knew exactly
when we'd be there.

Don't go there, Mike.

The FBI is here
to protect this project.

Do not tell me
how to do my job!

Then do your damn job,
Carrie! Sarah almost died.

Sarah was trained
just like everyone else.

I don't want her in the field
anymore. It's too dangerous.

Not your call. We'll do the rest
of KITT's repairs on the plane.

I just got word the
package is on the move.

Yeah?

Well, I thought
maybe I'd grab a beer.

Replenish some of those fluids
I lost almost boiling to death.

You lost the package, Mike.

Wheels up in 15 minutes.

We have a problem with Mike.

What kind of problem?

Take care of it.

Hello, Michael.

Sorry, I didn't know
you were in here.

It's okay. It's not like
you haven't seen it before.

Hey, Mike.

Those men
from the vault room,

they know you from Iraq,
don't they?

They didn't have very flattering
things to say about you.

Sarah, there are things
that I don't remember.

You don't remember? Or
you don't want to remember?

Lieutenant Traceur!

You can't keep it
all bottled up, Mike.

I'm just...

It's just, what?

What are you afraid of?

What you did or what
you're capable of doing?

Both.

So, where's the package?

Sarah programmed
the locator coordinates

provided by Israeli
Intelligence into KITT.

Get the package and get
back to the plane ASAP.

And how do I know someone won't
be waiting there to kill me?

You don't.

Great.

KITT, you sure you don't have anything
on the men from the vault room?

As I told Sarah at the time,
whoever they were,

they were very good at getting in
and getting out without being seen.

Yeah, like they knew exactly
where they were going.

There is no evidence
of a leak, Michael.

Well, something's going on.

To alleviate your concern,

I will check the files of everyone
working in Knight Industries'

Research and Development Department.

Wait a minute, KITT.
What are you saying?

The two people directly responsible for
the safety and security of this project

are the obvious suspects if our
missions are being compromised.

No way.

Just because they are your friends, does
not mean they are not capable of deceit.

The data I am accessing suggests that
it is a very common human trait.

Many high-level government officials
use deceit on a daily basis,

and still remain in office.

Most of Alex Torres'
files are classified,

indicating he may have
something to hide.

KITT, I have classified files.

Are you hiding something, Michael?

May I ask you a question?

That depends
on the question.

What exactly is your
relationship with Sarah?

You dated before you
joined the military,

and you obviously
still care deeply for her.

Sarah and I are
just friends, KITT.

Then why do your hormone levels
rise when you are around each other?

I have also detected
a release of pheromones

and other signs
of sexual arousal.

Whoa, KITT,
way too personal.

I wish you
wouldn't do that.

We have arrived at the
location of the package.

My scanners are picking up
a man hiding under the bridge,

and there is no sign
of the package.

Please be careful, Miichael.

Don't move.

Please don't shoot.

Turn around.

Where's the package?

I'm the package. Well, not
all of me. Just some of me.

Let's get out of here.
Come on.

What did you expect?
A briefcase full of plutonium?

Yeah, kind of.

Michael, a car
is rapidly approaching.

Who's that?

Michael...
Michael Traceur?

Oh, my God, it is you.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

You know me, all right.

Get in the car! Now!

Uh-uh!

You remember me now?

The only reason why I don't
kill you is 'cause I owe you.

Consider us even.

Okay, papito?

Why did she call him papito?
What does that mean?

Tiny father, but that's
not how she said it.

That was sexual. More
like, "Who's your daddy?"

You really do not know
who this woman is?

I've never seen her
before in my life.

But you have
the same tattoo.

It's a military tattoo.

A lot of people who served
with Special Forces have them.

There is nothing in any
known database on her.

Cross-reference her with the men
from the consulate last night.

I still do not have enough information
to identify the man at the consulate.

She's the second person I've
never met in the last eight hours

who claims to know me.

KITT, cross-reference
her with me.

Michael,
even with my clearance,

I cannot access your
classified military files.

Stop.

Where is this
footage from?

Beirut, Lebanon.

I've never been to Beirut.

The footage does not appear
to have been altered.

I believe you, or someone
who looks just like you,

was in Beirut with this woman
on the date indicated.

Something's not right.

Billy, open
a chat line.

Who the hell is she?

Looks like we got us
a little tongue action.

Ixnay on the surveillance
footageay.

Michael, why are you
speaking Pig Latin incorrectly?

Just turn it off, please?

I have no idea who she is.

The package is vital to
national security, Mike.

Get it back.

Yes, sir.

KITT, I need to speak
with Sarah in private.

- Hello, Sarah.
- Cut the music.

Sarah, after I shipped out to
Iraq, when I stopped calling you,

did I give you a reason why?

You remember that you stopped
calling, but you don't remember why?

No.

All right, then. Let me jar
your memory for you, Mike.

You called me from a classified
location. You wouldn't say where.

You asked me to marry you.

And I said, "Yes." And then
you disappeared for three years.

I thought you were dead.

I asked you to marry me?

And the day you asked me
is the same date

that's on the surveillance
footage of you in Beirut.

Sarah, I have never
been to Beirut.

What's going on, Mike?

I've got to go.

It is possible something traumatic
happened and you are repressing your memories.

Or you have dissociative
identity disorder,

also known as multiple
personality disorder.

Or someone doesn't
want me to remember.

In reexamining your military files,

I find that there are many gaps.

You seem to have disappeared for
weeks, sometimes months at a time.

Mike, did you have anything to do
with an Operation Secure Freedom?

Operation Secure Freedom
is one of your many files

I was denied access to, Michael.

The men at the consulate who tried to kill
you were all involved in the same black op.

Are you okay?

Dad, something's
wrong with Mike.

What are you
talking about?

Something happened
to him in Iraq.

Things happen in war, Sarah.

Things men don't
want to talk about.

No, something else.
Something different.

Something very bad.

Michael...

Michael, why did you disconnect Agent Rivai?

KITT, I need to see
inside that car.

I believe you are either
repressing your memories

or you are not being
honest about them.

KITT, when humans keep
changing the subject,

that means they don't
want to talk about it.

There are some things I
remember and some things I don't.

But right now,
I need to see inside that car.

Using the signal from her GPS,

I may be able to track and follow her
using real-time satellite surveillance.

Can you zoom in
and enhance?

Boost and redirect
your parabolic mics.

Boosting and redirecting.

Hey.

You shaved your head?

My entire body. A single strand
of my hair is worth millions.

Look, fake eyebrows
and eyelashes.

I also exfoliate
every four hours,

so there's no way
you can get a sample.

Want to bet?

What are you doing? Hey!

Oh! Oh, my God!

Did she just
chop off his thumb?

It appears she did.

I think
I'm going to hurl. Yep.

No, no! Hey!

We've got to get my thumb back. Come on.

We've got to get
my thumb back.

Mike, you have to get
his thumb back at all costs.

KITT, plot an intercept.

Intercept plotted.

We're going to need
a little first aid.

Accessing first aid data.

What the... What are you doing? Ow! Ow!

I think I'm going
to pass out.

Really?
Yeah.

Awesome.

What the... Huh?

First aid complete.

For follow up, please see your personal
physician within the next 24 hours.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Can the people you're talking to hear
and see everything inside this car?

Yes.

KITT, shut off all
contact with the SSC.

- But, Michael...
- Just do it.

Going offline.

Get audio and
visual back up.

There's no way to override. That would
defeat the purpose of artificial intelligence.

Okay, they can't
hear or see us.

And please don't
tell me you know me.

No, but I know
the people you work for.

And they're going
to dissect me,

then put me under
a microscope.

What are you talking about?
I'm the cipher.

Cipher for what?

An unbreakable code.
My DNA is the key.

Your DNA is the key
to decipher a code?

Not just a code,
the ultimate code.

And hidden in my DNA
is the ultimate cipher.

Hidden in your DNA?

I hid it there.

I'm the one who
invented the code.

You invented
an unbreakable code

and hid the key
to it in your DNA?

Yeah.

Dude, that is so stupid.

Yeah.

Michael, I am no longer
able to track her.

She's in the subway, KITT.
Attack Mode.

- Initiating transformation.
- Attack Mode?

What's Attack Mode?

Transformation complete.

Michael, the shortest
route takes us directly...

No, just do it.

I have tapped into the metro's
surveillance system and located her.

She appears to be meeting the blond
man with the black leather jacket.

We have a three-minute window before another
train is due, if the trains are on schedule.

If?

Exiting the vehicle at this
time will result in your death.

Look, I was joking.

DNA, the cipher
for top secret codes?

I mean,
who would fall for that?

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

You need to slow down.

Step back to
allow the doors to close.

Step back to allow
the doors to close.

Whoa.

Excuse me.

Who are you?
You know who I am.

Where did we meet?
Beirut.

I've never been to Beirut.

You really don't
remember, do you?

I have no idea
who you are.

What did they
do to you, Mike?

Who's they?

FBI! Freeze!

Everybody down!
Nobody move!

Mike?

What the hell
just happened?

Carrie killed Mike.

It was a problem
and I took care of it.

What did you do to me?

Not you, Mike Traceur.

What?

I killed Mike Traceur.

victim was believed to
be disgruntled Iraq war vet...

What the hell did you do?

I did what I felt was in the
best interest of this project.

And if I don't
want to be dead?

Your past has come back
to haunt you, Mike.

If people are looking for
you, you put all of us at risk.

Did you read it?

Yeah, I read it.
It's incomplete.

But now that you're dead, maybe you
can find out what really happened.

The woman in the subway.
Who was she?

I have no idea.
It's like she doesn't exist.

Where are we headed, Michael?

If you plan on
running away with me,

I must inform you I am the legal
property of Knight Industries.

If you continue at this speed
for no apparent reason,

I will be forced to take
control of the vehicle.

I'm going home, KITT.

There is nothing
at your former home, Michael.

The FBI has
already been there.

Mike Traceur is legally dead.

I can't be declared
dead without a body.

A body was provided.

Whose body?

I am sorry, Michael.
I do not have that information.

It does not seem logical to be
upset about this situation.

If Mike Traceur is dead,

your past can no longer come back
to haunt you or endanger Sarah,

which I believe is what is preventing
you from becoming close to her again.

My past will always
haunt me, KITT.

Katie.

Driving. Heads up!

Billy Morgan.

Dead man walking.

Have you seen Sarah?

Not since Carrie shot you
with elephant tranquilizer.

You okay?

For a guy whose existence has just
been wiped off the face of the earth.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Some people would love the
opportunity to start again.

I mean, the chance to negate
the everyday humiliation

beating on your soul
like a drum from hell?

I'm just saying I think it would be
super cool to be able to start again.

You want to go home
with me tonight?

You're just screwing
with me again.

Aren't you?

I don't know, am I?

You need to
come up with a new name.

Or the FBI can come up
with one for you.

What about Buster?

My father's real
name was Michael Long.

Mike Long?
Sounds like a porn star.

Total porn name.

Zoe Chae, phone call.

How would you know?

I watch a ton of porn.

Knight Industries, Research
and Development. Zoe speaking.

What?

What did you do
with the rest of him?

Witness protection.

We can't have his DNA
fall into the wrong hands.

Yeah. Right.

You know, one day, Mike is
going to remember everything.

And when he does, he's
going to come after you.

Well, then, just have to
make sure he never remembers.

Hello, Michael.

Sarah's preset lighting active.

I don't remember
what happened to me, Sarah.

And I don't know
why I don't remember,

but I would never do
anything to hurt you.

I'm sorry that I did.

It's not your fault
you don't remember.

You want to grab a beer?

We've gone down
this road before, Mike.

How about we start fresh?

I'm Michael Knight.

Sarah Graiman.

So, what's your sign,
Michael Knight?

Not quite sure, yet.

Fine.

They make a handsome couple.
