Team Knight Rider (1997–1998): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Magnificent T.K.R. - full transcript

I'm right on top of him. We
just crossed the Mexican border

a few miles back. Hope you
brought your passport. Smash

right through the barrier.
It'll be in my expense report.

Women drivers.

She's right on our tail. Shoot
her.

Keep it behind me.

Alright, honey. Let's put these
boys to bed.

Not there. Go. Down.

They're leaving the main road
heading for a small village.

I'm closing in on them. No,
Jenny. Just keep them cornered.

We're right behind you. Kyle,
I've already taken out two



vehicles. Only two left. It'll
be that much easier when we get

there. Excuse me. I'm all for a
free and easy exchange of ideas

but they're getting away.
They're running scared, Kyle.

Let me wrap this up. I can do
it. But keep the line open.

Let's head them off at the
past.

Looks like we drove into a
remake of the magnificent

seventies. I hate these desert
towns. Too much dust.

Bonjour. Wave hello. Hello.

Once a while, wave hello. Now
you will leave.

Or she would have died.

10 years ago, all it took was
one man and one car to get the

job done. Now, the foundation
for law and government has

assembled five highly-skilled
operatives and paired them with

the most advanced
state-of-the-art vehicles to



take on a new breed about law.

They are Team Night Rider.

How cute huh? Now you go. Let's
talk about this. Talk, huh? You

want to talk? I've got nothing
to say. But no one's been hurt.

Right now, they can only get
you for grand theft.

Yeah.

I hate to admit this but you
need some serious help. It's an

understatement. I totally screw
this up. I think it's time you

called in the cavalry.

Kyle, we have a problem. Moving
along moving along moving along

I don't think he took his
medication today. We're never

going to make it to the plane
on time. It's going to leave

without us. I see we just cut
our laws. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

We are not quitting, huh? No.
No. No. No. We don't. No. We

are in Mexico now. We are no
longer under United States

government jurisdiction, huh?
But who's she? A minor

inconvenience. Our prize will
keep her and her friends away.

Excuse me, sir. Yeah. May I ask
you something please, huh? How

many entrances are there into
this little village, huh? Hey,

How many? Five? Maybe six. Ah,
very good, huh? You show them.

Move. Alright. We will post
centuries at every entrance

around the rooftops, huh? I
want to know where everyone is

at all times. There's only 12
of us. How in the hell we

supposed to hold an entire
town? Ah,

Go test today kids. Come on.
Let's go. Rudy straight line.

Let's go.

Should've waited till you got
here. I take full

responsibility. Nah, I gave you
the okay. Only because I

pressured you. You didn't
pressure me. Stop beating

yourself up and tell me what
we're up against. He's got

about a dozen or so men left,
well armed. There will be eight

children hostage. How many
people in the village? I don't

know, maybe a hundred. Okay,
let's move in fast and take em

out. Right. Before they get a
chance to get organized. Right,

right, right. That in the new
season of the real world starts

tonight. And you guys say I'm
the one who doesn't have my

priority straight. We have to
move now. It's the only way to

save the children.

Come in my little friends. Come
in. Welcome. Move along, huh?

Move along. Get in there. Hey,
see children ought to be

treated with respect, huh? Come
here my friend. Oh, I apologize

that man. He is very rude, huh?
You enjoy yourself now. Go sit

down.

Orabo.

People, you listen to me very
carefully, huh? Now, your

children will not get hurt if
you do exactly as I say. You go

about your business. Do
whatever you do, huh? But stay

out of our way.

One UK. I could have killed
them. You will cooperate or you

will die. Comprende.

Move fast. Most important, move
together. Don't give him a

chance to retaliate. Uh

Can't be local.

Hold it.

I'm running this operation from
now on.

Who are you? My name is Waldo.
Oh, hey, they finally found

you. Oh, clever. My
credentials. CIA. The man, miss

Andrew, so ill advisedly,
forced into that village, has

stolen a top-secret government
device. We must have it back.

What is it? I'm not at liberty
to say. Who is he? I'm not at

liberty to say.

What were you planning on doing
just now? I'm not at liberty to

say. Check with your superior
Zed flag, mister Stewart. I am

now in command. We can proceed
as allies or as adversaries.

Which do you prefer? Everything
concerning the device is on a

need to know basis. It must be
recovered at all costs. What

about the hostages? They're
expendable. The device is not.

Gently. Whoa. Gently. Gently,
huh?

How do we know they won't just
call the Mexicans? If the

federalies get hold of this,
huh? Roger, they will want to

keep it for themselves. The US
government will not allow that.

What about the Mustang babe and
her friends? Hey, hey. You are

the nervous type, huh? I have
got us this far, you must trust

me, huh?

Ugh. Excellent. That's it? It's
kind of small, isn't it? But it

packs a big wall up.

Now, all we need is a monster
cable. 12, 22 in 50 seconds. 12

23. Mark, go to exactly twelve
twenty-eight. I'm sorry. My

mind wondered. What time is my
warrant supposed to say? I

don't know. I was faking it.

This is a waste of time. We
can't afford to be careless,

not again. And we can't afford
to let whoever those guys are

fortify their position. Besides
the fact that they outnumber

us. They have a tactical
advantage because they're

defending. Which is why it
would be premature to commit

our resources before performing
a reconnaissance. What about

those innocent people? The fact
that they're in danger is not

my fault, Jenny. He's right.
But the for a recon.

Okay, Kyle, I'm in position. Be
ready. We'll keep it busy.

Saddle up everybody. We're
going in.

Okay, that should do it. Pull
out.

Just

I'm in. Go get him, Duke.

Looks like they're rerouting
the town's electrical power.

I'm going in closer. Uh oh.
Later.

Come on. Come on.

It's like they're getting ready
to attach the power cable. Now,

good. Did you check the
empress? No problem. Yes, they

better not be.

It's a nice watch. Give it to
me. Give me the watch.

You don't need it anyway.

Where do you think you're
going? Oh, yeah. You want a

piece of me? Is that what you
think? I don't think you do,

pal.

Flashes.

Perfect.

It's been too long. I'm sure
he's alright. Yeah, probably

found some lovely senorita and
decided to settle down. Maybe

someone should go down there
and check things out, okay?

Someone or something. Trek.
Grab your toolkit.

Check. He's informed some minor
surgery. What do you think

you're doing? I just want to be
a hero. It's what I live for.

Go people. Move. Go. What's
your problem? Hunt. Hunt. Hunt.

Come on, man.

My friends, thank you for
joining me. Now, who was it,

huh? Come on, I ask you nice.
One of my men was viciously

attacked. He was not
uncautious, huh? Now, who was

it? Huh?

You will tell me or she will
die.

Okay. I will count to ten. Ten.
7. Two. It was big.

I will not tolerate any action
taken against my men. Do you

understand? Do you understand?
What you need is a time out to

think about your behavior.

I do not think you are from
these parts, huh? I think you

belong with them from outside.
Well, my friends, we have

another hostage. A most
valuable one, huh? And I will

make you sorry you ever came to
this stinking town.

Mister. What? You're not from
this village. Who are you?

My name is Duke. I'm part of a
team here to rescue you.

The Justice League? X-Men?
Xena? You're here with Zena.

She's awesome. No. I'm a team
Night Rider. Do you have super

powers? No. Secret identities?
No. Do you wear a cape? No.

But we do have cool cars. Cool.
Mine's the attack beast. It's

got this big laser cannon. Tell
us a story about Señor Tepis.

Story please.

Careful. I have a very delicate
system. No, don't cut that

wire. Aunty, I know what I'm
doing. Gently. Gently. No. No.

No. This wasn't a good idea. I
think we should stop this whole

procedure. I'm almost done. I
just need to disconnect this.

Kyle, be reasonable. I'm not a
transistor radio. You can just.

Chips ahoy. Now what? Where's
Waldo? What are you doing?

Making a few small
modifications. The car is

going to infiltrate the
village. But this is a rental.

It's not designed for that kind
of work. Well, it is now. I've

installed Dante's chip and I've
also put in a basic technology

to perform a video scan. Where
am I? Oh my god. I'm a

subcompact. He's back. So,
they've already seen our cars.

We need one that'll blend in.
But every car down there is

over 10 years old. This one's
brand new. Where prepared for

that Mister Waldo. Oh no. No,
you wouldn't. Yes, we would but

we won't enjoy it. Besides, you
did say you wanted that device

at all costs.

Should have taken the
insurance.

Moving along, moving along,
moving along. Please punch in

your authorization code. Damn,
that thing has built-in

security, man. Code verified,
Mister Waldo. Please confirm

with the thumbprint check
within 15 seconds or I will

self destruct. We're screwed.
You know, Roche, you are really

getting on my nerve. But that
thing it'll stop. I am

prepared. What the hell is that
thing? Hmm, I borrowed mister

Waldo's thumbprint of a
cocktail glass and headed

imprinted on this. Not bad.
Authority confirmed, Mister

Waldo.

The things I do for America.

Oh, don't be so dramatic. Fine,
but after this, I expect to be

hand washed twice a week by
you. Can you locate Duke? I do

not see it. Wait. It appears
our Mister Depulma has gotten

himself incarcerated in the
local Husq. So there I was. In

the beast exploding down a
country road about to do battle

with an indestructible car
called the record. We were

zooming in for the kill. When
Record got off a lucky laser

shot and blasted the beast. Did
the beast die? Yes, I'm afraid

he did. Mom, but with the help
of my faithful mechanic

companion, Dennis, we brought
the beast back to life and

kicked butt. Yeah, Senator
Duke, you and the beast are

awesome. Well, if you say so,
Duke is in danger of nothing

but getting a swelled head. Oh,
hello. What's this? A lot of

activity over there. Moving
closer. Yes. Yes. They seem to

be hovering over a computerized
device of some kind. That's

what we're looking for. Get
back here, Prana. Or as quickly

as the shotty workmanship of
this vehicle allows.

How do you feel? I trust that
will be my last out-of-body

experience. Though your methods
have inconvenienced me

somewhat. We now have enough
data to move on the thief.

Good. Even better. I can tell
you what they stole. Mister

Sanders, I would advise you
that anything you reveal may

compromise national security.
To hell with national security.

15 guys down there already know
what it is. Since we're risking

our lives to get it back, it's
time we did too.

What is it? It's very
sophisticated. It's ingenious

actually.

Kyle, the cars.

Dante, what the? You're beating
Bolton. I I don't know how.

Hold on. Dante, can you read?
Domino.

Ante, can you control it? No,
the force is too strong. We

can't move.

What the hell could do that? I
was about to say that the

device is a mega powerful
magnet. You better tell us

what's going on.

It's the most powerful magnet
ever created. When fully

charged, it's capable of
pulling a satellite out of the

sky or bringing down a
passenger aircraft. And

obviously, when shifted
inverse, it can repel objects

over long distances. I want to
know who spends their time

coming up with stupid weapons
like this. You see why it's

essential that we get it back.
If news of this machine got

out, it would cause a worldwide
panic. Its existence was a

tightly held secret. So then
how does our worthy adversary

know so much about it?

You told him, didn't you?

His name is Jean Claude Laval.
He is or was a highly-placed

official in the Serate. Last
year in an exchange of

intelligence information and in
the spirit of international

cooperation. I decided to brief
him about the device in great

detail. So wait a minute.
You're as responsible for this

mess as I am. Oh no. No. No.
He's much more responsible. So

what does Jean Claude plan on
doing with it? We believe he's

gone into for himself possibly
to black male governments by

threatening to use the device
against them. We can't let him

get away with it. Well, that's
going to be a little difficult

without our cars. Oh, you boys
so dependent on your toys. Do

you have a suggestion? Yes, as
a matter of fact, I do.

Ah, the cars they are
immobilized. But in order to

leave, don't we have to turn it
off? Yes, but the charge will

remain long enough that they
will not be able to get close

to us.

I

It will be over soon.

Don't our parents come for us?
These men out there have

threatened them. So they're
scared? Well, yes but They're

cowards. I didn't say that. You
said. I said they were scared.

They have every right to be.
Their child has been taken away

and they want to do whatever
they can to get you back. But

not if it means risking your
life. So they have to wait.

Sometimes that's the bravest
deed of all. You're not scared.

And say that either.

They're on the move. Alright,
Erica. Time to put your plan

into action. Trek. Trek. Put
the gun down. Always wanted to

be little Joe Cartwright.

What about him? He'll keep for
a few minutes.

Hands up.

Nice. We're all loaded up
except for the machine. Good.

Good Fiera. Well, we'll get
that right away, huh? Uh oh.

You better back up. This is
going to get ugly.

Ha ha.

My friend. Ah, my friend. My
friend. Bravo. Bravo.

Congratulations. Ah. Hey. So
tell me, how did this happen?

Ah, good job. Piece of cake,
man. Hmm. I'm taking candy from

a baby. Ah, candy from a baby.
Finally, a good man, huh?

Roche. Alright, everybody hold
it right there.

So nice to see you again, huh?
But you do not listen, do you?

And you, my old, old friend,
you do not give up, do you?

Stewie, you know, I am very
glad to see you. Really? Hmm.

Yes, really, huh? You know, I
wanted to thank you for

contributing to my retirement
fund, huh?

Kill them all.

Got it.

It's time you took your villain
back. Go get him.

Nice range, full design, flashy
chrome. I hate to say good

night but

Where the keys? I think the
head guy's got him.

I think we're going to need
him. Hey kids, back away from

the window.

What the hell is this man? My
name is Marshall Dylan and I'm

here to clean up gadge.

Away.

I know we're never supposed to
do that but I wonder if that

was fun. Senior Duke, is that
the attack beast? And it's

about time. Keep it up and I'll
leave your sorry butt in there.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Eddie Eddie Eddie Eddie Eddie

People.

There isn't enough room in this
town for the belt of us.

Sorry, partner. Big guns don't
impress me.

It's guys like you who give
Frenchmen a bad name.

So, why aren't you wearing your
uniforms like a real superhero

team? Oh, they're really
uncomfortable. The Power Angus

always wear their uniforms.
We'll work on it, okay, kid?

Enough about the damn uniforms.
Love seeing those maternal

instincts sneak out. Shut up.
**** dude. You know, Duke, can

I go with you? I'm sorry, Asus.
We gotta be moving on. But why?

Team Knight Rider's got a job
to do. Besides your parents

need you here. Can I be on Team
Night Rider?

You are now an official junior
member of Team Knight Rider.

Your mission should you choose
to accept is to protect your

family, your home, against evil
French guys. I accept.

You are like the wind. Blowing
over the land and passing on.

What is that? It's what the old
man said to the magnificent

seven right before they left.

Hit him up. Move him out.

Ride 'em cowboy.

You.

You.
