01x11 - The Final Verdict

[bunniefuu]

- What's this all about? m*rder?

- m*rder.

It's imperative that neither of them gets across the state line.

Can I buckle your seat belt? Wait a minute.

Wait a minute! Who's driving the car? KITT.

Who's KITT? I think I'm gonna be ill.

Keep this thing steady so I can hit him! What are you doing? Wait a minute! Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

Hi, guys.

Hi.

What's all this? KITT's got a brand

-new feature.



- I do?

- Yes.

You can now construct a composite drawing on your screen based on a verbal description.

As you see, it really is a remarkable resemblance.



- Yeah.

It's pretty good.



- I'm impressed.

You should be.



- Oh, this, uh That's your version?

- Yes.



- Frankly, there's not much hope.



- I could say the same of your wit.

But I shan't.

Instead, let me present you with your next case.

L I got a problem.

My dear boy, don't be so modest.

You have a wide range of problems.

I, uh I got a call from Albuquerque.



- From whom, may I ask?

- Cheryl Burns.

She's in jail there.

She asked if I could help her out.

You know she's a good friend of mine.

I see.

Remember Wilton Knight saying, "One man can make a difference.

"

- Yes.

Indeed, I do.



- Okay.

I knew there'd be no objections.

Thanks a lot.

Just a minute.

You can have two days.

Then I want you back on this case.

You got it.

Two days.

Bye, Bon.

¢ÜRun forever ¢Ü ¢ÜItjust seems like ¢Ü ¢Ü They're never gonna end ¢Ü ¢ÜMakin'me a livin'¢Ü ¢ÜIs makin'me old ¢Ü ¢ÜBut I bet I can tell you some stories ¢Ü ¢Ü That you never been told ¢Ü ¢Ü Them highways ¢Ü ¢ÜRun forever ¢Ü ¢ÜItjust seems like ¢Ü ¢Ü They're never gonna end ¢Ü ¢ÜEvery time I turn around ¢Ü ¢ÜI'm on another highway again ¢Ü ¢Ü Oh ¢Ü ¢ÜEvery time I turn around ¢Ü ¢ÜI'm on another highway again ¢Ü ¢ÜMmm hmm mmm ¢Ü¢Ü Michael.

Hi, baby.

Thank God.

Thank you for coming.

I'm so glad to see you.

It's okay now.

It's okay.

Oh, baby.

What happened, huh? Michael Michael, it's like a nightmare.

The police are convinced that I k*lled my boss.

Michael, you know me.

You know I'd never do anything, right? I know, I know.

It's all right.

It's all right.

No, it's not all right.

No one will believe me, and no one will listen to me.

I'll listen.

What happened? Um, we were working late for, like, the 10th night in a row.

He was always keeping me late for something.

So finally I asked him for a raise.

And he said if I wanted a raise, I'd have to earn it.

Then he started pawing me.

What'd you do? I ran out of the office.

That's what I did! The next morning, the janitor found him with a fractured skull and my desk lamp next to him.

Oh, God.

All right.

All right.

Where'd you go Where'd you go right after you left the office? Um, I walked around for a while, and then I went into a bar called the "Bent Arm.

" The Bent Arm.

Can anybody prove you were there? Well, I talked to this guy named Marty.

He was real nice.

He listened to me talk about my problems for hours.

This guy Marty, he, uh he have a last name? He tell you anything about himself? No.

Just that, uh, he's an accountant, and he likes to gamble.

What's he look like? He's about 5'9".

He has light brown hair thinning on top, glasses.

Kinda reminded me of Woody Allen.

The, uh, police can't find him, huh? Tsk.

So you don't have an alibi.

Michael, I'm so scared.

This is an awful place.

The people I know.

I know, baby, I know.

Don't you worry, okay? What else can I do? If my lawyer can't get the trial date pushed back, I'm finished! You're not finished.

Now, I promise you.

I'm gonna find this guy.

And what if you don't? If I don't, I'll, um If I don't, I'll rob a bank and I'll get tossed in here, and we'll get a beautiful coed cell together.



- Hi, there.



- Hi.



- What can I get you?

- Beer will be fine.



- Draft?

- Yeah.

That's perfect.



- Looks like fun, huh?

- If you like holding hands with an ape.

Uhhh, no thanks.

You know, a friend of mine told me about this place.

Maybe you know him.

He's an accountant.

Name's Marty.

I don't know any Martys.

Well, he's a little guy you know, brown hair, glasses?

- I said I don't know 'im.



- Well, that's too bad.

I was hoping to find out where he is these days.

I owe him some money.

Sounds like a guy who used to come in here, but he moved out of town.



- You know where he went?

- Sorry.

I don't remember.

Did you say you wanna wrestle? Hey, Butch! This guy's next.

Butch? All right.

Hey, KITT.

There's an outgoing phone call.

See if you can get me the number, huh? How you doing there, Butch? Yeah.

Hello, Marty? It's Kim.

Hey.

There's another guy here looking for you.

He says he owes you money.

No.

I didn't tell him anything.

Okay, Marty.

You take care of yourself, kid.

Bye

-bye.

You're gonna go, pally.

You got nothin' left!

- Michael, I've traced the number you requested.



- What? His watch was talking! I heard it! Better luck next time, Butch.

I'll keep an eye out for your friend.

Never mind.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Not a very cooperative fellow, is he? No, he isn't.

Uh, I hate to bother you, but could you move your truck a couple feet so I can get out? Sorry, buddy.

The city only gives me 45 minutes for lunch, and I ain't gettin'back in that truck until then.

You understand? Yeah, I understand.



- Yeah, KITT?

- Michael, can I be of assistance? Yeah, buddy.

As a matter of fact, you can.

Go for it.

Hey! Hey, hey! What's the big idea? Hey! Holy mackerel! That's city property! You can't do that to city property! What about that phone number, huh? I traced it to an apartment building on Mayfield Road.

Mayfield Road.

Where's that? Claremont Bay, which is approximately 474 miles north

-northwest of our current location.

Well, then set a course for Claremont Bay.

Michael, I'm not certain who the call was made to.

There's no guarantee we'll find Marty at that address.

I know.

Well, there's an old expression I learned when I was a cop.



- What's that?

- "A lead is a lead.

" Besides, it's a beautiful day for a drive.

KITT, we can cut a hundred miles off this trip by going through the desert.

Let's hit it.

Is there any further information you can provide? Sorry, buddy.

That's all I know.

Although the data is relatively sketchy, the composite can be computed.

Well, let's see it.

Voila!

- Can I go home now?

- No.

I'd really like to be of some assistance to you.

Honest.

But, heh, I really don't think I can be of any use to you.

I'll be the judge of that.

Look, Marty, we know all about your work at Falcon Enterprises.

In fact, we'd like a firsthand glance at some of that creative bookkeeping you're so famous for.

I don't know what you're talking about.

He's talking about selling hot merchandise, of sending stolen goods across state lines, and lots of other good things.

Including illegal accounting.

No, no.

L I I don't know anything about that.

Honest.

You do.

On a stack of Bibles, right? Listen, Marty, I'm giving you a chance to help me and to help yourself.

Now, I need those books to make a case against your boss.

Now, if you get 'em for me, maybe, just maybe, we can cut a deal.

L I don't know what you're talking about.

L Wait, wait.

Just think about it.

We'll keep in touch.

Can I go now? Sure.

But if I were you, I wouldn't leave by the front way.

I'd go out the back door.

You know what I mean? Well, what are you waiting for? Go on, before I change my mind.

Yeah.

Go on! What do we do now? We watch him like a hawk.

All we gotta do is keep the pressure on him.

He's almost ready to cr*ck right now.

Well, he better, or we'll never get this case to the grand jury on time.

We're here.

You sure this is the place? Michael, are you questioning my navigating capabilities? I was just asking.

You want apartment number 247.

Okay, buddy.

Thanks a lot.

Hang in here.



- This shouldn't take too long.



- I've heard that before.

Don't make a move.

Now, just turn around and start walking.

Now, what were you doing at Marty Keene's apartment? You know, that's the sixth time you've asked me that question.

Well, there's gonna be a seventh time until I get the right answer.

I told you.

I got a friend on trial for m*rder.

I need Marty Keene to testify.

I heard all about that.

Now, what I want you to tell me about is Falcon Enterprises.

I've never heard of Falcon Enterprises.

Now, I'm not trying to cause you trouble, believe me.

Well, you are causing trouble, whether you want to or not.



- What's going on here, anyway?

- Well, that's on a need

-to

-know basis.

Look.

All I need is to get Marty Keene to Albuquerque to testify.

Then he's all yours.

I'm out of your hair.

You know, I really wish I could help you.

But, see, you and I want the same man.

Now, in this town, I'm bigger than you are, so guess who gets what he wants? You're making a real big mistake.

No! You're making a big mistake when you think you can waltz in here and do as you please! You got it? Look at me! Now, I hope that look means "yes.

" Get him out of here.

Come on.

Hello, Marty.

Hi, Mr.

Farlan.

Oh, now, what is with the "Mr.

Farlan"? I told you to call me Al.

Right, Al.

They said you wanted to talk to me.

What can I do for you, Marty? Uh, well, you know, as you know, I've been working here for some time, Mr.

Farlan, and I think I've done a pretty good job of making this operation look legit.

Are you serious? You've been a genius.

I'll tell you what.

To appreciate your services, I'm gonna give you a 10% raise.

Oh.

Well, that's that's very generous of you, Mr Ooh.

A

-Al.

Al.

But, uh, I was thinking more along the lines of a little time off.

Oh.

How much time would you like? How about the rest of my life? Marty, don't make jokes with me.

I need you to do those books.

You know that.

Mr.

Farlan, I I think the pressure's getting to me.

My nerves can't handle it.

What if I make a mistake? Then we're all gonna be in a fix! Now, Marty, you underestimate yourself.

You're just under a little too much pressure.

That's all.

As soon as we clear out this inventory, I'm gonna send you to Acapulco, all expenses paid.

Until then, you just relax.

Everything's gonna be fine.



- Picking up any sign of him yet, KITT?

- Not as yet, Michael.

Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, as they say.

No.

Lieutenant Dickerson mentioned Falcon Enterprises.

There's gotta be some connection between here and Marty Keene.

Michael, I think I've made a positive identification.



- Where do you see him?

- Coming out the side door.

I think we found our man.

Wonder where he's going? I'll be right back.

¢ÜStretch, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight ¢Ü ¢ÜPush, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight ¢Ü ¢Ü Up, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight ¢Ü ¢ÜReach, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight ¢Ü ¢ÜStretch, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight ¢Ü ¢ÜPush, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight ¢Ü¢Ü Oh, you're looking good.

All right.

! You're looking good.

! Ha ha.

! Excuse me.

You're Marty Keene, aren't you? Hey.

Will you Will you guys leave me alone? I'm just a little guy.

I don't know a thing.

Marty, I just wanna talk to you for a minute.

Well, I don't want to talk to you.

Marty, just a minute.

Come on! I just want to talk to you!

- Ohh!

- Nice catch.

You know, I have a really hard time understanding people like you, Knight.

Why? I'm just trying to keep an innocent lady out of jail.

I told you to stay away from Marty Keene.

Yeah, well, you never gave me a very good reason.

I don't have to give you a reason, friend.

Let's just say that my department has put too much time and effort into this investigation to have it all go down the tubes because of some self

-appointed hero.

! Now, are you getting my drift, Mr.

Knight? Yeah.

I get your drift.

You do what you have to do.

I'll do what I have to do.

Fine! Fine.

Because from this moment on, my men have orders to lock you up if you interfere.



- Yeah, I'll remember that.



- Yeah.

You see you do.

Nice catch.

Michael, wouldn't it be more advantageous to go to the local D.

A.

And arrange for extradition? I don't think so, KITT.

It'd take too long.

But perhaps he'd overrule Lieutenant Dickerson and allow us to transport Marty back to Albuquerque.

Remember what Dickerson said? This is his turf; he calls the sh*ts.

I don't see that man giving us any help at all.

In that case, my microwave jammers are ready.

All right.

Showtime! Dink, call somebody to come down and check this out.

This is ridiculous.

Here comes our call, Michael.

Standard Power Company.

Yeah.

Listen, could you get a guy over to Falcon Enterprises, 1322 Crescent, as soon as possible? We got some kind of a power foul

-up over here.

Be right there.

Keep your micro

-jam going, okay, KITT? Be back in a little while.

Don't blow a fuse, huh? On the contrary, the sensation is quite intoxicating.

Well, try and stay sober until I get back.

Oh, uh, the outlet's on the wall over there.

Hey.

Wait a minute.

You're the guy from the gym! Hey! What do you want with me? Just sit down.

I wanna ask you a couple of questions.

Marty, you met a girl in Albuquerque.

A bar called the Bent Arm.

Her name was Cheryl.

Right? Pretty smile.

Brunette.



- Yeah.

W

-What's this all about?

- m*rder.

m*rder? Dink, what has that repairman got to do in Marty's office? Beats the hell outta me.

Gee, I I'd like to help you, but I don't think Mr.

Farlan would let me go with you.



- Why not?

- Well, because.

What kind of business is Falcon Enterprises, anyway? Hey! Hey, you can't look at that.

Why not, Marty? Is that why the cops are onto you? We better take care of them while we have the chance.

L I don't think this is such a good idea.

It's all right.

Trust me.

Come on.

Come on! All right.

Shut the door.

Shut the door.

Go! Go, go! KITT, get in here fast.

We need your help.

KITT.

Get in here on the double, buddy.

I need you.

What took you so long? I came as quickly as I could.

KITT, Marty's gone.

Let's get out of here.

Look at this place! It's a disaster area.

Well, there's no sign of Marty.

What about the other guy? Oh, there's no way I was gonna catch him.

We gotta find Marty before he gets to the cops and spills his guts.

Now, look, nobody disappears into thin air.

Well, I don't care! Now you listen.

It's imperative that neither of them gets across the state line under any circumstances.

All right.

Okay.

You keep me posted.

What happens now? We gotta find Marty before Farlan does.

Come on.

Well, to be honest, uh, no, not really.

Well, then, what do you want? Maybe you can help me out.

I'm looking for a friend of mine.

Maybe you know him.

Uh, Marty Keene.

Oh, sure.

Marty's my special project.

In a couple of months, that pussycat's gonna be a real tiger.

You have an idea where I might find him? Sorry.

He was here, but he left.

Is there some special place he goes to? Well, I really wouldn't know.

We're not that close.

All right.

Thanks a lot.

You can come out now, Marty.

I don't want you to get too sunburned.

Oh! You poor thing! Devon, things aren't going as well as I expected.

I may need an extra day or two.

Well, it's perfectly all right with me.

However, at this point, time is a luxury you can't afford.

What do you mean? I'vejust received a telephone call from Cheryl's attorney.

The judge has refused them a continuance.

I'm afraid Cheryl goes on trial tomorrow.

Oh, no.

Come on, KITT.

We gotta find him.

He ain't here, Boss.

No

-good little twerp.

I give him a chance to make more money than he's ever made in his life, and this is the way he thanks me.

You want me to trash this place? No.

We better get out of here.

He may have the cops on us already no

-good fink! Boy, am I dumb.

Where are we going? Back to Marty's apartment.

Michael, my analysis of human behavior suggests that the last place Marty would hide is his own residence.

Perhaps you'd care to explain the logic behind your decision.

KITT, it's more like reverse logic.

Nobody would expect Marty to hole up in his own apartment.

So maybe Marty figures nobody will bother checking there.

I'd have to say that's a long sh*t.

Maybe, but right about now, it's the only sh*t we got.

Nothin'.

Well, there goes our case, right down the toilet.

Maybe the blues turned up something.

Knight's car is awfully hard to miss.

Yeah.

Well, I hope so.

Okay, KITT.

I'm gonna need a boost about 25 feet up.

Certainly, Michael.



- Ahhh.

Thanks, KITT.



- Don't mention it.

Oh, uh, sorry.

I, uh, forgot my key.

Oh! Wait a minute.

You're not getting away this time.

You okay? You sure? All right.

I just wanna ask you a few questions.

Marty, how'd you get involved with Falcon Enterprises in the first place? L I took the job, 'cause I owed a lot of money.

I didn't know it was a fencing operation.

Honest! When I saw what was going on, I tried to quit, but Mr.

Farlan wouldn't let me! It's okay.

It's okay.

Come here.

Calm down.

Just sit down, relax.

I'll get you out of this mess, but you've gotta come back to Albuquerque with me and testify.

I'll do anything anything to get out of this jam.

Great.

Soon as we steal your accounting books, we're outta here.

What? Are you crazy? Not me! No way! You got no choice, Marty.

We gotta get the evidence on your boss, or the police are never gonna let us leave town.

Cheryl's trial starts tomorrow morning.

But that's illegal.

That's why the police can't break in and steal 'em.

We can.

There's one thing you still don't seem to understand.



- What?

- I'm a coward.

We'll

-We'll never make it.

It's gonna be daylight pretty soon.

You're right.

Better get crackin'.

KITT, when we go in, if we're not back in one hour, call the police, huh? Be careful, Michael.

Aren't I always? You don't want me to answer that question.

Who you talking to? Oh, uh, I'll explain later.

Are you a ventriloquist? Okay.

Come on, come on, come on.

I got it.

I got it.

It's all right.

Okay.

Shh! Shh! Shh.

Shh.

I'm up.

I'm up.

Okay.

Here I go.

Come on, Marty! Quick.

Come on.

Come on.

Whoa.

Damn.

KITT? KITT? Is everything all right? No! Well, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

It's all right.

Forget it.

Michael, I've been spotted by one of the guards.

Michael? What the How'd it do that? Mr.

Farlan, you better get over here.

Something funny's going on? Oh, no, no, no, no.

I can't go through with it.

Sure you can.

No, no, no.

I'm too nervous.

Come here.

Shh.

Calm down, Marty.

Wh

-What are we doing here? Just sit down here, okay? Close your eyes.

What for? I'm gonna take you out of this environment.

Close your eyes.

Okay, now picture yourself on a sailboat off the coast of No, no.

No, not a sailboat.

I'd get seasick.

Don't be negative.

You're not getting seasick.

You're on a sailboat close your eyes off the coast of a tropical island.

You're with your favorite girl, the girl of your dreams.

Who's that? Alice Melkin.

Alice Melkin.

She's lying on the bow of the boat, swaying to and fro.

She's beautiful.

She's beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You're rubbing hot oil all over her shoulders, back and forth.

Oh, boy.

It's a beautiful day.

The hot sun makes everything romantic.

Yeah.

Ohh.

She turns to you.

She says, "I love you.

" Here.

This is all we need.

Grab 'em.

Okay.

Are we going now? Okay.

Shh.

Let's go.

Come on.

Get going, pal.

It's light outside.

Stay low and don't trip over anything.

Well, well.

How very nice of you to drop by.

Mr.

Farlan, this isn't what it looks like.

Aw, knock it off, Marty.

You're not gonna weasel your way out of it this time.

I imagine the cops will give you a very nice bonus for that set of books.

I'm not working for the police.

Oh, no? That's too bad.

I hear they give very good funerals.

Now, if you don't mind, I believe you have my property.

This is the police! You are surrounded! Throw down your weapons and put your hands over your heads! Okay, go.

I told you it moved by itself! Get in, Marty! Great timing, KITT.

Get the guards on the phone! Quick! Can I buckle your seat belt? Wait a minute.

Wait a minute! Who's driving the car? KITT.

Who's KITT? Don't worry about it.

I am worried about it! I am worried about it! Drive the car!

- What is all this stuff?

- It's a computer, Marty.

Yeah, but h

-how does it manage to drive itself? It just does.

Yeah.

And I suppose it talks too.

On a variety of subjects.

What do you care to discuss, Mr.

Keene? You're not a ventriloquist.

Never said I was.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing? Punching up radar scan.

What's their distance, KITT? Approximately 400 yards.

Shouldn't we accelerate or do you want them to catch us? No, buddy.

I just want them to think they can catch us.

Michael, I'm not sure I understand.

We've got the books.

Why don't we just go to the police? That's the next step.

See if you can pick up police frequency.

I wanna talk to Lieutenant Dickerson.

Yeah.

This is Dickerson.

Lieutenant, this is Michael Knight.

Knight? How did you get a police frequency? I'll explain later, but I got Marty Keene and all the books from Falcon Enterprises.

Where do you want 'em delivered? All right, Knight.

What kind of stunt are you up to now? I'm not trying to pull any stunt, Lieutenant.

I'm just trying to help.

I'll be at the end of Highland Road.

Okay? You got it.

You think he's on the level? There's only one way to find out.

Unit 17, Unit 12, respond to a 4

-16, east end of Highland Road by the docks.

Repeat.

East end of Highland Road by the docks.

Hang on, Marty! They're sh**ting at us! It's okay, Marty.

KITT's bulletproof.

Wow.

Hold on.

! Whoop.

! Whoa.

! Will you try to keep this thing steady so I can hit him? I get the feeling all the b*ll*ts in the world aren't gonna stop that car.



- What's the matter now?

- There's something I gotta tell you.

I get carsick.

What do you mean you get carsick? Well, sometimes if

-if, you know, the car is moving, and there's a lot of motion, I Just hang in there, Marty.

Just hang in.

Ohhh! Pretty great, huh? Here he comes.

Michael, I'm picking up an obstruction a half a mile ahead.

That should be Dickerson.

What are you doing? Just sit tight.

You'll see.

Look.

That truck up ahead.

Marty, when I count to three, hold your breath.

What are you doing? Wait a minute! One, two, three! All right.

Let's go.

Come on.

And spread 'em.

Spread 'em.

Come on.

Come on! Spread 'em.

Okay.

You're under arrest, Farlan.

Under arrest? For what? You've got nothing on us! That's not true.

We've got all the evidence we need to put you away.

You got all the evidence you need, Lieutenant, right there.

Uh, thanks, Knight.

Uh, I guess I was a little rough on you, huh? Well, maybe a little.

Uh, I'm sorry, kid.

Uh, I guess it's just part of my style.

I just wanted to thank you for everything you did.

Oh, let's go, Marty.

Come on.

You're part of this package too.

Wait a minute.

Yeah.

Wait a minute, Lieutenant.

This was all Marty's idea.

If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have the books.

He's willing to help put your boss away.

Aren't you, Marty? Yeah.

A

-Absolutely.

Really? On one condition, that is.

And what might that condition be? You let him come back to Albuquerque to testify.

I can live with that.

Thank you.

Let's go, Marty.

I'll have him back before you know it.

Okay.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

How does it feel to be free again? Absolutely wonderful.

This had to be the most frightening experience of my life.

Yeah, well, it's okay now, huh? Besides, they found the real m*rder*r.

Mm

-hmm.

I'll never be able to thank you for believing in me.

It's okay.

Uh, hey.

What about me? Oh, well, thank you too, Marty.



- I hope you learned a lesson.



- Oh, boy.

You better believe it.

From now on, I'm sticking to the track.

I have better luck with the ponies.

Hey.

Do you know who's running tomorrow? I want you.

Oh.

Uh, hi there, Butch.

Mm.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Ah.

Right up here.

KITT.

KITT! You can talk to your watch all you want this time.

I know you're a ventriloquist.

You ready now? You ready! Go! Aaaah! Michael Knight, a lone crusader in a dangerous world, the world of the Knight Rider.
