Knight Rider 2000 Page #5

You're off duty now.

They betrayed me.

I know, I know.

Let's do something about that, huh?

Hi, Shawn.

Hello, Kurt.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, same here.

I left a few things in my locker.

Guess I'll see you around.

Showtime, buddy.

Who says there's not a cop around

when you need one?

Man, oh, man, I haven't seen

one of these things in a while.

She is a beaut.

Everywhere but under the hood.

Think I got a dead battery.

Appreciate a jump.

Sure, no problem.

Thanks.

Adam 2525, right on schedule.

I'll say one thing for the police:

They're consistent and dependable,

unlike some people I know.

Don't start on me, KITT.

Go ahead. Crank her over.

Okay.

Start the download.

Sounds like you got problems

beyond your battery.

Boy, you're telling me.

You know, she can be

a real pain in the butt sometimes.

Oh?

Yep. She's got a mind of her own.

Tell you what.

One more time, I'm sure she'll start.

Okeydoke.

Thanks.

You enjoyed that, didn't you?

Finish the download.

Hey, listen-- Oh, wow!

No wonder your battery's drained.

Hey, how's the game going?

Uh--

We're ahead 14-zip,

at the beginning of the third.

It's, uh, a kit from RadioShack.

Seven, eight, nine.

Ten for ten.

They were all assigned.

Assigned to what?

Melting down police issues.

There must have been

over 8,000 handguns.

Maybe they did some kind of swap,

fake ones for the real thing.

We're talking serious money here.

Who was in charge

of destroying the guns?

- Commissioner Daniels.

- Big surprise.

Doesn't mean she

knew anything about it.

They may have acted entirely on their own.

You don't know the system like I do.

They would have needed help higher up.

Thank you, Karen.

KITT has just completed

a workup off Shawn's memory.

Looks like he

matched that face to a file.

- So what's this guy's real name?

- Watts.

Tommy Watts.

Former homicide detective.

Explains why he didn't show up

in current personnel files.

He served in the Philippine War in '93,

before he joined the P.D.

Yeah. A weapon specialist.

Says here

he worked directly under Daniels.

Not bad.

At least KITT goes out with a bang.

The 4000 will be fully operational

tomorrow morning,

just ahead of our deadline.

I'd say the bang is premature.

KITTstill has plenty left to do.

Do we have an address for Mr. Watts?

Hey, Charlie, you should've seen

the car I gave a jump to today.

The whole dash was decked out with

TV screens and a computer console.

Must have been that

new 'Vette I've been reading about.

No. This was an old '57 Chevy,

cherried out all the way.

The damn thing had

artificial intelligence too.

It was transferring

some kind of data...

when it switches over to the ball game

and gives me the score.

You're telling me they tapped

into the police mainframe?

The log showed a global download

of the personnel files.

It's only a matter of time

before they put it together.

A complete loss of memory, huh?

I don't enjoy being tense.

I'm sure there's a solution.

Yes, sir, there is.

Sir, would you like me to engage

my virtual reality mode?

Why not?

It's very impressive, but I really think

we ought to slow down.

There is no need for concern.

I'm programmed to cruise

at the optimum speed...

calibrated to a risk factor of.28,

which on this roadway

calculates at 243 kilometers per hour.

Look out!

I assume you have an explanation.

We would've sustained no damage

whatsoever by striking that animal.

It's a small fix.

Overall, what do you think?

I'm not looking for praise, Devon.

I want your honest opinion.

It means a lot to me.

You've done a remarkable job.

It meets and, in most cases, exceeds

all our technical criteria.

I know we do things

very differently,

but believe it or not,

our goal is the same.

KITT was an exceptional car

for his time, no question about it.

It's just that the time has come

to pass the baton.

I agree that the Knight 4000

is superior in every way.

Except one:

It lacks KITT's humanity.

People make mistakes.

After prosecuting scum

for so many years,

always having to fight

defense lawyers and politicians...

who only care about winning,

well, I've lost faith in human beings.

Maybe it's time you renewed it.

Loyalty and respect cannot be dictated, Russ.

It has to be earned.

That being said, you did a damn good job.

I'm proud to have you as a partner.

Don't tell me. He escaped.

Nobody escapes.

Here we go:
Watts, TommyJ.

Convicted in 1998 for fatally shooting

a suspect with a banned handgun.

Early parole on February 19.

Parole for what, good behavior?

Michael, my sensors indicate

we have company.

I don't see anybody.

Look again.

You're gonna have to

pull out all the stops, pal.

They've been pulled.

This is a two-tone lowrider, remember?

Use your E.I.D. on them.

I tried.

Their ignition systems must have

a scrambler I can't penetrate.

Prepare for a collision.

What?

KITT!

What the hell

are you doing to my car, KITT?

That's original paint.

You'll have to trust me.

KITT!

We're gonna go off the end of the dock!

I trust you two

are all right.

Oh, yeah.Just fine, KITT,

if you forget the fact that my Chevy

is sinking past a school of bass.

There was no alternative.

They'll assume you drowned

when you don't come up right away.

Yeah, and they'll be correct.

Despite this car's shortcomings,

the passenger compartment

happens to be airtight.

You have approximately

25 minutes of oxygen remaining.

Forget all the nasty things

I ever said about you, KITT.

I'm afraid I already have.

What's going on, pal?

The rest of the car isn't as watertight.

I only have about 30 seconds

of voice transmission left.

Water gets in your C.P.U.,

you're out of here.

I know. I guess this is good-bye.

I'm sure some of my chips

will be salvageable, Shawn.

Of course, you're welcome

to pick and choose.

I'll do that.

Michael, take care of yourself.

KITT? KITT, you there?

What's going on here?

I think you know exactly

what's going on here.

Read the man's R.N.A., Doctor.

One man can... make a difference.

We do not need another

law enforcement agency here, period.

You don't know the system

like I do, Devon.

They would've needed help higher up.

Well?

They have no hard proof.

What the Knight Foundation knows

consists of speculation and vague allusions.

You need the doctor

for anything else?

No.

It's sad he's going to become a victim of

another senseless handgun shooting, isn't it?

Pleasant dreams.

Shall we drink to what may be

the start of, um--

Of what?

One man's dream.

And to our future, no matter who

it may take us up against or where.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

I really liked the man.

I've decided not to renew

your contract, Mr. Maddock.

It's already cost all of us too much.

Look, Mayor Abbey, there's a strong possibility

your own police force is implicated...

with regard to the illegal handguns.

Can you substantiate this claim?

We're very close.
