If you can just give us some time--

Insinuation's not enough to justify

your reinstatement, Mr. Maddock.

I'm sorry.

They still think you and Michael

are at the bottom of the ocean.

Now, that and the 4000

will be our major assets.

We still lost the franchise.

More importantly, we've lost Devon.

One of our own has been killed,

and I'm not about to let city sanctions

keep me from doing something about it.

What about you?

Me neither.

I promised Devon I'd help out

until your car was done.

I filled my end of the bargain.

You can't be serious about leaving now.

I knew you could never hack it.

God knows what Devon ever saw in you.

Get out of my way.

Gladly.

You're just as obsolete

as that pile of rust...

you wasted our time and money

rebuilding, my friend.

The only thing worse

is the pathetic effort

Devon put into rebuilding you.

When we first met,

I had you pegged as a loser too,

but I couldn't have been more wrong.

I had some of the techies

look KITT over.

They said he isn't a total write-off.

Maybe you could--

Or maybe you can.

Not alone I can't.

Look, I know Maddock can be a jerk,

but he means well.

Still, he isn't you.

This is a little hard for me to admit,

but in some ways

you're actually superior to me.

You have experience. I don't.

I need you.

How about if we swing together

one last time in your backyard?

You don't need me,

and I don't need you.

Oh, yes, you do.

Only somebody hurting really badly

would turn their back right now.

Don't you think I know

what I'm walking away from?

Nobody cared about that man

more than me.

Do you understand me? Nobody.

Then come back and help us, Michael.

Help Devon.

I tried.

Look what it got him.

He was wrong.

One man can't make a difference.

You know,

I'm so good at research now.

I knew I'd find out the big reason

why you left 10 years ago.

But guess what?

I couldn't.

I think you just burned out.

You lost your purpose.

Devon never lost his.

If you had died, what do you think

he'd do about it?

The advent of algae farms, which now

produce nonpolluting hydrogen fuel,

has unquestionably helped

the environment.

But not everyone is happy about it.

Worldwide oil prices have plunged

to under 10 cents a barrel as a result,

with Persian Gulf countries

the hardest hit.

Political leaders in Iraq and Iran

have declined comment.

Mr. Maddock, here's the list

of police-owned warehouses...

within county limits.

Good work, Sandy.

Thank you, sir.

Shawn, any word from him?

It's been almost a week now.

I don't think he's coming back.

I'll walk you out.

Night, Charlie.

Good night.

- What is it?

- His car.

She's a real beauty, isn't she?

Yeah.

Not a scratch on her.

We're looking at a recording.

What in the hell are you doing?

Oh, my God. You didn't!

I'm afraid he did, Mr. Maddock.

And I must say,

this body fits me like a glove.

I missed my old partner, Mr. Knight.

I'm glad you're back.

Well, you had

something to do with it.

What I mean is,

you helped convince me.

Desire.

I beg your pardon?

Your brand of perfume.

I'm equipped with an aromanometer now.

The scent is quite alluring.

But let's stick to the work

at hand, all right?

The police vehicle has just arrived.

Come on. Have a doughnut.

No.

What's done is done.

She's dead.Just like she

should've been the first time.

I want out.

There is no out and you know it.

The train's rolling, Miller.

You jump off now,

and you'll get mowed down.

I'm ready with the voice sampler,

Shawn. It's ringing now.

Go ahead. You'll do fine.

Just speak calm and clear.

Warehouse.

Yeah. Miller!

Watts.

Yeah.

Meet me at the Big Bend Caf.

Alone. And bring the crates.

- What about Hedges?

- Tell her to wait at the warehouse.

Somebody will pick her up later.

I'm on my way.

Warehouse.

Yeah, the crates are all loaded.

Miller's on his way to meet you.

What are you talking about?

You just called and told him to

meet you at the Big Bend, didn't you?

Oh, my God.

Watts didn't call you. I did.

You're supposed to be dead.

And you were supposed to be my friend.

I made some big mistakes.

You can correct them.

I know shooting me

couldn't have been your idea, Kurt.

In fact,you were the one that saved me.

Let me return the favor.

My infrared scanning has

picked up a laser-scoped rifle...

100 yards from the building.

I thought I got into this

for all the right reasons.

Cops were being killed.

Killers were getting free.

You have evidence in your car, Kurt.

With your help, we can

shut down the whole operation.

Shawn, this goes beyond Watts.

He has help on the inside.

You can't stop this.

But maybe I can stop him.

Officers on the scene found

two crates of illegal weapons...

in the trunk of his unit.

- It all came down to one bad cop.

- Is he alive for questioning?

One of our sniper force unfortunately

shot and killed him as a last resort.

Naturally we'll conduct

a full I.A. investigation,

but I wouldn't worry.

The handgun situation

is finally under control.

Here's a laser copy of Watts's

prison release authorization.

- It was signed by the governor.

- I analyzed the document

as it came in, Shawn.

The signature is mechanical,

commonly used by most politicians.

Then several people

could've had access to forge it.

KITT, print me a few more copies

of that release, will you?

What's he doing?

Something KITT and I

should've thought of.

This just faxed in, Commissioner.

It makes no sense to me.

- Who sent this?

- The Knight Foundation.

They'll be tearing all this down soon.

Out with the old

and in with the new.

It's not such a bad thing

is it, Mr. Mayor?

Don't be so cavalier, Mr. Watts.

They know I released you.

It's a bluff.

They probably followed you,

hoping to get something.

Relax. I had this car

completely debugged.

We're quite alone.

I am far from relaxed.

They've already accessed police

computers and now judicial records.

It's only a matter of time

before I'm fully implicated.

The limousine will reach a clearing

in 31 seconds, Michael.

They'll easily be able to spot us then.

We got to take that chance, KITT.

Keep recording.

Who put you

behind the mayor's desk?

I put myself there,

and I plan on remaining.

Suspend shipment of all handguns

until the dust settles.

We can't do that.

I've got 2,000 of them

going out in the morning.

$10 million worth, my friend.

Our biggest deal yet.

You're going to be

a very wealthy man, Harold.

I'm warning you, Watts.

Screw this up...

and I'll thaw out somebody else

to take care of you.

That's it. We got it.

We're out of here.

I'm warning you, Watts.

Screw this up...

and I'll thaw out somebody else

to take care of you.

As much as we loathe

working with each other,

I think we'll do better

if we combine strengths.

Let's get these guns loaded, people.

The buyer is waiting.

Are these two ready to go now?

Yeah.

You're gonna go through with this.

I'm not about to walk away from 10 million.
