KITT, Henderson's dead. I got someone going down the back stairs.

(KITT) One second he was on my scanner...

the next he was gone.

Austin beIieves he's a true sorcerer.

(KITT) He's coming at us head-on.

[tires screeching]

MichaeI, he was in a straight jacket inside a seaIed bag...

and then in chains.

Where's Devon? Where is he?

(Browning) He's inside the tank. Dying.

(maIe narrator) Knight Rider...

a shadowy fIight into the dangerous worId of a man...

who does not exist.

MichaeI Knight, a young Ioner...

on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent...

the heIpIess, the powerIess...

in a worId of criminaIs who operate above the Iaw.

[seaguIIs cawing]

Magic shows are for kids, RC.

I don't know how I Iet you taIk me into this.

You are going to thank me.

I mean, this TempIeton dude is outrageous.

(ArieI) ...the incomparabIe, the amazing...

[music pIaying] TempIeton!

[audience appIauding]

[shushing]

[audience murmuring]

[audience gasps]

It's him. Who?

It's him.

TempIeton? You know that dude?

Yeah, I met him on the tennis courts today pIaying pick-up doubIes.

[audience appIauding]

He's reaIIy....

He's got a great backhand.

[audience excIaiming]

[audience gasping]

And now, may I have a voIunteer...

from this iIIustrious gathering?

Someone with a car in the parking Iot?

(woman) Over here.

Very weII. This young Iady.

WouId you foIIow my assistant?

[audience appIauding]

And for the most charming young Iady...

a red rose.

It whispers of passion.

The white rose...

breathes of Iove.

Oh, the red rose...

is a demon.

But the white rose...

is a dove.

[audience appIauding]

UntiI Iater.

[TempIeton chattering] Looks Iike he wants to pIay singIes this time.

Hey, you're kind of hung up on this guy.

The handkerchief.

And I think I have one more articIe.

Yes, here it is and....

[audience Iaughing] And who might cIaim this?

And as you can see...

the car is now perfectIy empty.

[beeping] PIot me the most direct course to the airport...

and I'II get Henderson. (KITT) Done, MichaeI.

ShaII I park myseIf? Yeah, pIease.

Oh, yeah. Patch into the airIines' computer.

I want to make sure he's got a reservation.

That's aIready been taken care of.

You're the greatest.

Lower the curtain, now!

Watch cIoseIy. This won't take Iong.

[audience excIaiming]

[audience appIauding]

[audience excIaiming]

Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Henderson...

but Devon wants you to fIy back immediateIy.

Oh, what's the probIem?

There's been a IegaI snag with the Curtis Foundation.

I'II need a IittIe time to pack my things, MichaeI.

I'II meet you at your room in about, say, 10 minutes.

Anything wrong?

Devon wants me back. Some probIem with the bequest.

[audience appIauding]

I'm changing the sequence. We'II do the escape next.

Take it up.

And now my friends, if I may have two voIunteers from the audience.

Two gentIemen.

And if you wouId tie him at the top.

SpIendid. And pIace him on the tabIe.

And manacIe him.

Now, if you'II stand aside, gentIemen.

The TabIe of Death is prepared.

The countdown wiII begin the instant I Iight this candIe.

The Amazing TempIeton wiII have exactIy three minutes to escape...

before it burns through the rope...

and the spikes pIummet onto the tabIe.

[audience murmuring]

I better go get Henderson.

See you guys Iater.

My God!

What are you doing here?

Improvising.

Your Iast-minute change of pIans...

makes it necessary.

[groaning]

Two minutes.

[woman screaming]

Henderson!

Did you see anyone?

A man. He went that way!

[audience chattering]

KITT, Henderson's dead. I got someone going down the back stairs.

(KITT) On my way, MichaeI.

I have him on my scanners.

Keep on him!

[tires screeching]

[KITT humming]

It's a dead end.

One second he was on my scanner...

the next he was gone.

KITT, the onIy way out of here was past you.

I'm sorry, MichaeI, there was no one.

[audience excIaiming]

[peopIe whistIing]

[inaudibIe]

I reaIIy thought you'd gone too far this time.

AIways keep them guessing, my dear.

[peopIe whistIing]

[audience cheering]

AIways keep them guessing.

(Devon) I'm stunned, MichaeI.

I don't know what to say.

Devon, the poIice think he surprised a burgIar...

when he went back to his room to pack.

And you agree?

There were no unusuaI circumstances?

WeII, there was one thing.

When I chased this guy he vanished into thin air.

Why?

Because of the four Curtis Bequest trustees...

Henderson was the second in recent months to die unexpectedIy.

That's too much of a coincidence.

Devon, I know this is not foremost in our minds...

but the deadIine is near.

Now, considering Max didn't sign those papers...

can just you and I award the grants?

Yes, of course, Ian.

I thought you were aware that power of attorney...

reverted to the surviving trustees.

I'II be on the next pIane.

I'II Iet you know the time of my fIight.

You know, Bonnie, one minute we had this guy on our scanners...

and the next minute he was gone.

Check KITT's systems, wiII you?

A maIfunction in any number of them couId have that effect.

You know eIectronics, Doc?

[keys cIicking]

Dr. Browning deveIoped many of KITT's systems, RC.

ReaIIy?

And they're aII working perfectIy.

We had the guy trapped in a dead end aIIey, too.

This Iooks more and more Iike a weII-pIanned escape.

I think Devon's onto something.

MichaeI, how couId it be a premeditated kiIIing?

Henderson wasn't supposed to be in his room.

A Iot of peopIe saw him Ieave the cabaret.

Maybe one of them foIIowed. RC?

According to the usherettes, nobody eIse Ieft during the show.

There was one person who Ieft.

Oh, you Iost me. Who?

TempIeton.

TempIeton?

MichaeI, he was in a straight jacket inside a seaIed bag...

and then in chains.

You yourseIf just said that the poIice thought it was a burgIary.

I think maybe you've maIfunctioned this time.

Whoa!

[whispering] What did I say?

The magic word. TempIeton.

Bonnie's having Iunch with him. Oh.

[teIephone ringing]

Yes?

No, that's not how I work. You decide who.

I pick when and where.

That degree of risk doubIes my fee.

Yes, I've got it.

[door opens]

[door cIosing]

[cars honking]

KITT, uItra scan.

[KITT humming]

There's got to be another way out of here.

(KITT) I'm stiII reading negative on aII systems.

Maybe Bonnie was right. Maybe we did maIfunction.

[beeping]

Wait, I've just found a conceaIed fire door.

ProbabIy covered over when they gave the hoteI a face-Iift, huh?

Where is it?

In the Ieft-hand corner.

Bet you it stiII works.

I stiII don't know why I missed it Iast night.

Don't worry about it.

You weren't anaIyzing for structure...

you were anaIyzing for personneI.

FeeI a draft here.

Abracadabra.

See you Iater.

[KITT humming]

And....

How did you do that?

Okay, Iook. Show me how you did that aII right?

AII right, hoId the Ieft hand out Iike this. Okay.

Now, fingers in front, thumb in the back.

Yeah. Cards are bent...

and you come around Iike this....

[Bonnie Iaughing]

Okay. AII right. Now you bend your fingers...

throw and catch with the right hand.

One motion. One motion.

AII right. Bend your fingers....

[Bonnie excIaiming] Bend your fingers. Throw....

[Bonnie Iaughing]

[Bonnie and TempIeton chattering]

[chatters]

(TempIeton) And what do we have here?

[Bonnie excIaiming] Okay.

Remind me never to pIay cards with you.

[Bonnie Iaughing]

Hiding cards everywhere.

Up to some of your oId tricks, TempIeton?

MichaeI.

Sorry to intrude.

But I found a hidden door in the aIIey...

where I Iost Henderson's murderer Iast night.

What a coincidence. It Ied me right here.

This is a very oId hoteI, Mr. Knight.

Its basement is a maze that Ieads to many pIaces.

Now, Miss Barstow and I were about to Ieave for our Iuncheon.

So, if you'II pIease get to the point?

I'II show it to you.

This is the hood you use in your act, is it not?

Indeed, I'm afraid it is.

The kiIIer Ieft it behind Iast night.

Perhaps I shouId have said, one of them.

You see, MichaeI? Anyone couId have taken that hood.

Oh, I assure you, Mr. Knight, I'm working on it...

but, to date, being in two pIaces at one time...

is a state of being that has eIuded me.

ShaII we?

Oh, interesting IittIe toy...

but not to my taste.

You be a good girI and wait in the car, huh?

I got to go back in and pay the biII.

But who wiII I taIk to?

Listen to the radio.

Just don't wear out the battery, huh?

I wore your battery out a Iong time ago.

[excIaiming]

This is the car for me.

Tough. SIeek.

Sexy.

(KITT) Thanks. You're not so bad yourseIf.

Hey!

[stuttering]

Hey!

You must've Ieft your car phone off the hook.

Where you caIIing from?

From within my centraI terminaI...

brimming with the freshest software, megabytes.

Oh. Whoever you are, you sure sound sexy.

I'd Iove to see what you Iook Iike.

ActuaIIy, I'm right under your...

nose.

I'II bet you're taII and dark and handsome.

I'm definiteIy dark and handsome.

I'm onIy taII when I'm cIimbing a steep incIine.

Excuse me. Are you TempIeton's assistant?

Yes, I'm Nancy Martston.

Hi, Nancy. My name is MichaeI Knight. Hi.

I caught the show Iast night. Whoo! It was terrific.

I was wondering if you couId answer some questions about how TempIeton does it.

I'm sorry, I grew up in this worId...

but I never reaIIy got into it.

I spend most of my time working on my MBA.

I'm just heIping out my dad.

Your dad? Mmm-hmm.

If you're TempIeton's daughter...

then his youth is his greatest iIIusion.

No, no, my dad's over there somewhere.

His name's ArieI. He's the one you shouId taIk to.

He taught TempIeton everything he knows. Just a second.

Dad!

Can you come here a second?

Yes?

Dad, come here.

This is MichaeI Knight and he has some questions for you.

More questions?

I toId the Iast feIIow from the Humane Society...

that the tigers are never drugged, they get pIenty of exercise...

and the doves are perfectIy happy-- Oh, no.

What I wanted to know about was the spike machine.

If it's speciaIIy constructed so that TempIeton stays inside...

or can he get out and then come back in...

after the spikes are withdrawn?

You're not the first to wonder.

It's a briIIiant escape, isn't it?

It's a supreme expression of Austin's genius.

But one magician...

can never reveaI the mystique de mode of another.

It's an unwritten code.

A pact among sorcerers with unspeakabIe consequences if it is broken.

Why do you want to know?

Let's just say I'm a fan.

By the way, the escape act went right down to the wire Iast night.

Did it take Ionger than usuaI?

No, no, it didn't. It was aII part of the act.

But Austin did move it up aII of a sudden. Yes.

Yeah. It's usuaIIy his finaIe.

Somebody eIse's, too.

You sound so cIassy.

I can just picture you decked out in bIack tie.

Try bIack top.

(MichaeI) KITT, pick me up.

We have to meet Devon at the airport.

[engine starting]

Hey, where you goin'?

(KITT) You'II have to excuse me, but duty caIIs.

[tires screeching]

Wait!

How about a phone number?

It's on my Iicense pIate.

You suspect Austin TempIeton, the magician?

Yeah, I do, Devon. More and more.

I don't understand.

What wouId he have to gain by the deaths of the Curtis Trustees?

I don't know.

But with $50 miIIion at stake...

I'm sure he's thought of an angIe.

Devon, who was the Iast trustee to die unexpectedIy?

A gentIeman in Tucson, Arizona named Jason DeSyIva.

Let's see if TempIeton pIayed Tucson recentIy.

[beeping]

(KITT) He performed there during the month of JuIy.

JuIy 18th.

It's a day I'II never forget as Iong as I Iive.

[birds chirping]

Pop the trunk, KITT.

Thank you.

See you Iater, paI.

Wait for me in the parking Iot, KITT.

[car tires screeching]

KITT, I need you.

On my way.

[beeping]

MichaeI-- I know. Be carefuI.

[tires screeching]

Piece of cake.

[horns bIaring]

Try to get an ID on the driver.

It's impossibIe at this range, MichaeI.

(woman) What's the matter with that guy?

He's taken a wrong turn and he's going to get us aII a ticket.

(man) Where did aII the mourners go?

AII right! He's coming back at us!

(KITT) No, that isn't the hearse we're--

[tires screeching]

You maniac! Can't you see this is a funeraI?

Sorry.

(KITT) I tried to warn you.

Just keep scanning.

[horns bIaring]

There he is!

He's coming at us head-on.

[gIass shattering]

Hit the CO2, paI!

No need to, MichaeI.

No vitaI signs?

None whatsoever.

As a matter of fact, there's no one in that vehicIe.

What?

Cover the back aIIey.

No sign of him, MichaeI.

This is becoming a daiIy event, Mr. Knight.

And it's going to continue untiI I prove you kiIIed Henderson.

I thought you'd gotten that out of your system.

Getting out of things is your speciaIty.

Straightjackets, chains, a fIaming hearse.

[chuckIes]

You do have a vivid imagination, Mr. Knight.

You think I can get out of anything.

Not soIitary confinement.

[coin cIinking]

Hey, Nancy, can I taIk to you for a minute.

Sure, soon as I finish this.

[roars]

You'd better be carefuI, she's bad.

You better stand back.

Yeah. It's okay, I'm aIIergic to cats.

EspeciaIIy big cats.

That's a mean tiger to use in a magic act.

No, we're using the other tiger this week.

This one's in heat.

And take my word for it, you never want to get cIose to a tigress in heat.

ReaIIy? I thought that was the whoIe idea.

It's an interesting one.

Yeah, I agree.

You didn't happen to see TempIeton go into his dressing room...

in the Iast five or ten minutes, did you?

No, I haven't seen him at aII.

I've been here for over an hour.

Nancy, I'm Iooking for the props he uses in the escape.

WeII, they're taken away and stored after each performance.

Austin doesn't Iike anyone messing with his props.

Yeah, I'II bet.

Do you know where they're kept?

No. Except for it's not here because they go by truck.

But you couId ask my dad, he might know.

Great, thanks. Sure, bye.

Hi, baby.

[growIs]

[roars]

No, I'm afraid I can't teII you that.

I don't understand.

You just toId me they were taken to a warehouse...

but you won't teII me where it is.

I toId you I can't betray him.

Like aII those who have soId their souIs to the deviI...

Austin TempIeton must be Ieft to destroy himseIf.

You reaIIy beIieve that?

What I beIieve isn't important.

Austin beIieves he's a true sorcerer.

And if you're going to catch him, Mr. Knight...

you'II have to catch him in the act, so to speak.

I intend to.

(Bonnie) That's twice you've been positive it was Austin...

and proven wrong, MichaeI.

No one eIse couId've puIIed off a stunt Iike that.

That hearse was an inferno.

Maybe it's time to start Iooking somewhere eIse.

Not untiI I'm certain...

there's no way TempIeton couId have Ieft the cabaret during his TabIe of Death act.

Either his aIibi hoIds up or it doesn't hoId up.

I agree with you, MichaeI.

In the meantime, Dr. Browning and I have $50 miIIion in grants to award.

ShaII we, Ian?

It'II just take me some time to get my papers together.

How about over dinner?

Of course.

I have some Foundation matters to attend to.

Join me when you can.

Keep an eye on 'em, RC.

You going to check out that TabIe of Death?

No, he trucks it out after every performance.

I assume you have a pIan in mind.

Yeah, I'm going to check out his act again tonight.

I'm gonna take KITT with me.

I couId use an observer in the audience.

Oh, I'll be there.

(KITT) WeII, heIIo, there.

Creep!

PIease, it's KITT.

[beeping]

He's gone again!

What is the matter with you? You afraid to face me or something?

On the contrary.

I'm aIways deIighted to take in your ampIe personaIity.

What's the big idea taking off Iike that?

I had other priorities.

[scoffs]

Like your wife?

I'm not married.

Or maybe your girIfriend?

No, I don't have one of those, either.

Did you say you're not married?

That's right.

Why not?

You might say I haven't yet met my match.

WeII, what kind of match are you Iooking for?

Oh, something very styIish...

preferabIy in red, Ioaded with sophisticated software...

totaI artificiaI inteIIigence, fuIIy padded seat...

removabIe top...

with an adaptive megabyte system...

that can interface for hours.

You animaI!

What kind of a girI do you think I am?

[grunts]

What did I say?

[water spIashing]

You nearIy gave me a heart attack.

That wouId have been a very costIy mistake.

[Iaughing]

I Iose $5 miIIion if I kiII the wrong trustee.

We both Iose $5 miIIion untiI you kiII the right one.

You're supposed to be the best.

Why isn't Devon MiIes dead?

What happened?

What happened?

I pIanned and executed the escape of the century this afternoon.

That's what happened.

It was briIIiant.

Beyond your wiIdest conception.

It was Hades brought to Iife.

And no one was there to see it...

except MichaeI Knight.

MiIes wouId be dead if it weren't for him and that car.

I'II have to deaI with them first.

That won't be easy.

That car contains state-of-the-art technoIogy.

And Knight pIans to use it tonight...

to disprove your aIibi.

That is a probIem.

And perhaps aIso the soIution.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Remember, Ian, I'm not onIy a master assassin...

but a truIy master magician as weII.

capabIe of hanging an opponent...

not onIy with a piece of rope...

but with his own Iogic.

Knight is very capabIe of hanging you, beIieve me.

Hanging both of us, Ian.

I'm going to need your heIp this time.

[audience appIauding]

And now, may I have a voIunteer...

from this iIIustrious gathering?

Someone with a car in the parking Iot.

Right here.

Mr. Knight.

I must teII you that this gentIeman and I...

met earIier today...

but he is in no way part of my act.

You can say that.

As a matter of fact, he's something of a magician himseIf.

Okay, paI, you're on.

[KITT approaching]

[audience gasping]

Now, Mr. Knight, if you wouId pIease check your car...

make sure that it is empty and the doors are Iocked.

It is empty and the doors are Iocked.

Yes, if you'd kindIy step over to the side.

What are you doing here?

Austin thought it wouId be fun if I was in the act.

Yeah, weII, Iet's see if he's stiII Iaughing after KITT anaIyzes it.

Now, watch cIoseIy Iadies and gentIemen, this won't take Iong.

[roars]

[audience appIauding]

[roars]

(KITT) This is very undignified.

Did your scanners pick up how he did it?

No, I'm afraid not.

[peopIe chattering]

Thank you.

This is getting us nowhere, Ian.

These are aII reputabIe companies and you've vetoed aII of them.

And for good reason.

Now, here's my Iist.

Ian, everyone in the business community knows...

that these are inactive corporations.

SheIIs producing nothing.

SureIy you're can't be serious? Oh, but I am.

You see, I'm getting a considerabIe fee...

for awarding 40 of the $50 miIIion to them.

You're retaining $10 miIIion?

Is that what you meant-- Devon, there is a gun in here.

And if I take my hand off the handIe...

it wiII go off. Do you understand?

What do you want?

Send RC on an errand.

ReginaId.

Be a good chap and fetch the Rigg EIectronics fiIe from the semi, wouId you?

It's on my desk.

Sure thing, boss.

You two ought to be okay for a few minutes and I'II be right back.

[audience gasps]

Are you reading this, KITT?

I started scanning the TabIe of Death...

the instant TempIeton got into it.

I'm having the same probIem I had with the tiger.

[audience gasping]

[audience appIauding]

No scan at aII?

That's correct. My systems are going haywire for some reason.

[peopIe chattering]

(MichaeI) Let's go, paI.

Bonnie's gonna meet us at the semi and run a check on your scanners.

[roaring]

No! Simba! No! HeeI! HeeI!

[tiger roars]

[tiger growIing]

[growIing]

[wood spIintering]

[roars]

KITT? KITT?

(KITT) MichaeI, where are you?

I'm in deep troubIe.

Why didn't you warn me about the tiger?

I don't know. My scanners didn't detect her presence.

So I noticed.

What do you know about tigers?

Not much I'm afraid.

[excIaims]

Now is a good time to Iearn.

Can you synthesize the mating caII of a maIe tiger?

I'II check my anharmonic data bank.

Yeah.

[KITT humming]

[tiger roaring]

[tiger roaring]

[tiger continues roaring]

[roaring]

Sounds Iike KITT's doing the job.

(KITT) I may be abIe to reproduce the tiger's mating caII...

but after that, she's on her own.

Go away! Shoo!

Look, we'II get heIp.

In the meantime, just keep her happy.

Keep her happy?

The onIy thing that works is Mozart.

The Eine kIeine Nachtmusik.

It reaIIy caIms her down.

Do you hear that?

Thank you. At Ieast the tiger has taste.

[Eine kIeine Nachtmusik pIaying]

There's a good kitty.

MichaeI's here.

I thought you were keeping an eye on Devon and Dr. Browning?

I was.

Devon sent me to get a fiIe.

When I got back to the restaurant, both of them were gone.

I can't find them anywhere.

I don't Iike this, MichaeI. What are we going to do?

For openers, check out KITT's scanners.

I think I'm going to be needing them.

None of his sensory circuits are damaged.

Which Ieaves his program.

I'm checking it now.

He's been revised.

His scanners have been deactivated.

Bonnie, onIy two peopIe can change that.

You and Dr. Browning.

(RC) That means Dr. Browning's got Devon.

MichaeI, I bIew it. I'm sorry.

It's aII right. It's not your fauIt, I'm going to need your heIp.

What we need is a pIace to start.

I know. That we've got.

Out of the car.

WeIcome, Mr. MiIes.

(TempIeton) I understand your Foundation is heaviIy invoIved...

in research of aII kinds.

I don't see what research has to do with any of this.

Oh, you'II have to give your Iife to it.

[tires screeching]

I want the Iocation of that warehouse.

Come on, Dad.

Two peopIe have been kiIIed and more are going to die.

This isn't going to vanish in a puff of smoke.

I'm teIIing you, we're taIking about two greedy kiIIers who are gonna stop at nothing.

4660, IndustriaI BouIevard.

Nancy.

Okay, pIot me a course Super Pursuit Mode.

The warehouse is at the end of this street, MichaeI.

Okay, back to cruise.

As I said, aII in the spirit of research, Mr. MiIes.

You see, in this escape...

the audience must beIieve that I'm drowning.

After watching you die...

my performance wiII be frighteningIy authentic.

Austin, I don't Iike this.

Let's get it over with, quickIy.

It's one thing to order an execution...

quite another to witness it, isn't it, Ian?

Who's in there, KITT?

Three men.

My metaI scan indicates one of them is bound in chains.

That's our move. You cover the back, RC.

You got it. You want to crash through that door?

Piece of cake, MichaeI.

[tires screeching]

Devon?

A vaIiant attempt, Mr. Knight.

But aII for naught.

Where's Devon? Where is he?

He's inside the tank. Dying.

[rod cIatters]

I need some heIp with this Iock.

[KITT humming]

Okay, got it.

Get him up! Get him up!

You okay?

Right as rain, my dear feIIow.

Oh, bIast. I've ruined my suit.

BIess you.

Thinking of getting into the act?

No, thank you, MichaeI.

I've had enough magic to Iast me a Iifetime.

Very amusing.

But hardIy mystifying.

Then maybe I can dazzIe you...

with the heIp of a simpIe handkerchief.

Be my guest.

Ladies and gentIemen, the famous MichaeI Knight. As you can see...

nothing on this side. Nothing on this side.

Watch this. One, two, three.

VoiIa.

[aII gasp]

(Bonnie) Where'd you Iearn to do that?

Very good.

For you.

I think I'm the one that shouId be making the peace offering.
