01x13 - Forget Me Not

Post by bunniefuu »

KITT, go into surveillance mode and get ready to roll.



- Why would anyone wanna k*ll me?

- That's what we're hoping you'd tell us.

I think we just hit the jackpot, KITT.

We are playing right into the hands of that jackal.

Michael, look out! Look out! 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.

What are you doing here? I need a towel.

Help yourself.

Hey, I told you not to go outside.

How am I supposed to protect you if you keep running away from me every chance you get? Oh, Michael, I was underwater.

No one could see me there, no? What ever happened to those neat little clip

-on numbers I used to get when I was a kid? They were great.

Yes, wait, wait.

I'll do this for you.

So, you've had some experience at this, huh? Some.

Recently? Why be so secretive? I mean, after all, we are living together.

Working together.

Just trying to be friendly.

After you prevent my father's assassination, then I can tell you all about me.

And, uh, you can tell me all about you.

And we will have a lovely time.

Hmm? There.

How's that? Thank you.

I feel silly.

Well, you look so handsome.

All the girls will love you madly.

Jealous? Of course not.

Because, uh, at the end of the evening, you will come home to me, right? She's dangerous.

¢Ü Get closer ¢Ü ¢ÜHold her hand ¢Ü¢Ü Are you ready to be briefed before you attend this, uh, party? Rudy del Fuego hosting a bunch of assassins isn't my idea of a party.

I suppose you also find it tedious to conduct your surveillance from a rented beach house.

All expenses paid by the Foundation, of course.

And the girl too.

I mean, don't forget the beautiful girl I'm living with.

Working with.

What's that, KITT? San Mirada.

A militaristic state until the recent election of President Eduardo Casafranca.

Maria Elena's father? Yes, there's been a slight change.

He's arriving a day early to attend the international equestrian show.

Then he'll continue his appearances as scheduled, in spite of the threats on his life.

Who's that? Your host, Rudy del Fuego.

The man who had the most to lose when Casafranca was elected.

Yeah, and the most to gain by his assassination.

One thing's for sure he's not gonna pull the trigger himself.

His kind never does.

This is David Burns.

An American investor in San Mirada's emerald mines and the most likely coconspirator.

Myjob is to find the hired g*n.

Any ideas, KITT? Yes, I think a striped tie would be very nice with that suit.

Or perhaps a simple paisley, don't you think? I'll park it myself.

Thanks.

Hey, it's okay.

I've driven one of these before.

It's been acting kind of funny, so if you'll just point out a good spot.

Whatever.

Anywhere along there will be fine.

Thank you.

Some guys will do anything to save a buck.

It's gonna cost him plenty.

Rudy.

! Margo.

! I'm so glad you made it.

I thought you were out of town.



- I was.



- Paul, it's so nice to see you.

Welcome.

Thank you very much.

Here you are, my love.

Hey, Marcello.

How's Nancy? Hey, Larry, you son of a g*n.

How long has it been? Did you see my wife Kiki? Please go inside.

Thank you very much.

Have a nice day.

That's one.

Hello, darling.

How have you been? Hello.

Fine.

How are you? It was Rio, wasn't it? Two years ago, last spring? Rio? You must try Rudy's hot tub, darling.

It'll bring back memories.

Well, I'd love to, but I didn't bring my swimsuit.

Your swimsuit? We didn't meet in Rio, did we? Forgive me.

I didn't recognize you with your clothes on.

I mean Never mind.

Try Rudy's hot tub anyway.

Hmm.

That's two.

Nice seeing you.

Maurice.

Sorry.

That's off

-limits.

Oh, somebody down there told me this was the bathroom.

Well, obviously, somebody down there is mistaken.

Why don't you try it again? Rio.

Two years ago, last spring? No.

There's a guy who looks just like you.

No? No.

Um Oh, it's you.



- Thank you.



- For what? For the champagne, remember? Oh, the cha Yeah, of course, I remember.

It was my pleasure.

Hmm.

Actually, I'd already decided that I had more than enough, but, well, since you delivered it so nicely What's your name anyway? My name is Michael.

Hey, no kidding? They ever call you Mickey?

- Never.



- It's a good thing.

It could get confusing.

I mean, 'cause that's my name Micki with an "i.

" I know it's a dumb name, but it's the only one I got.

What's the matter? You all right? No, I don't feel so good.

I think it was that last glass of champagne.



- I'm sorry.



- It's okay.

I'm a big girl now.

But I think I'd better go find someplace to lie down.

All right.

You take it easy, okay? Try to get out of this one, buddy.

So, you trust this man, huh? This Frenchman.

He's the best.

Purely professional.

No political or personal axes to grind.

Not like us, huh, David? That's your business.

All I care about is protecting my investments.

You seem to be doing all right.

It's all on credit.

Everything I have went into San Mirada's emerald mines on your assurances that your friends would remain in power there.

We both have a great deal to lose, my friend.

Let's go down and enjoy the party.

There is a young lady I want you to meet.

Oh, hi.

I must have fallen asleep.

It's real comfy.

It's a little warm maybe, but KITT, go in your surveillance mode and meet me at the door.

Hey, what's going on? I would have been here sooner, but you didn't tip the valet.

Car just left here, KITT, with two guys.

And a female in the backseat, apparently unconscious.

They turned right at the end of the driveway.

It's a gray Seville.



- Shall we overtake them?

- No, not just yet.

I wanna make sure I know where they're headed.



- So, what are we gonna do with her?

- Let's keep it simple.

There's a whole ocean out there.

We might as well use it.



- Grab her! She's trying to get out!

- Let go of me! Aah!

- What's going on?

- They seem to be out of control.

Let's go.

Aah! Get the wheel! I can't see! Stop it! Crazy broadjumped out.

I'm afraid that was your unconscious female.

Let's cut 'em off.

Hey, who's that guy anyway? Let's get going.

Michael, you're letting them get away.

I know, KITT, but we gotta make sure the girl's okay.

Think it'll hold, KITT? My winch apparatus was not designed for mountain climbing.

But I'm willing to risk it if you are.

You're one lucky lady.

There you go.

All right, KITT.

Let's go! KITT.

KITT! Michael, the pulley is overheated.

I'm cooling it now.

It's ready now.

Terrific! A temporary memory loss? You mean, she has amnesia? Not exactly.

The doctor said that sometimes a trauma can cause a psychological block.

It's possible she could remember a few things.

I don't want her interfering with your work.

Devon, all I know is those two guys from the party, they didn't take her for a joyride.

Okay, okay, but what if she's a spy? How can we be sure that she's not secretly working for for Rudy? Probably because Rudy tried to have her k*lled.

What I wanna do is find out why.

I don't like this.

I don't like the We are playing right into the hands of that jackal.

Trust doesn't come too easy for you, does it? There's no time left for trust.

But you didn't check to see if she was dead.

She went over.

I saw it.

When that car got in the way, well, I figured the best thing to do was to get outta there fast.

The best thing to do is to finish the job.

This wouldn't have happened in my country.

In your country, Rudy, they sh**t first and ask questions later.

I want you to check the beach for tire marks.

Anything.

Watch her house.

If she's dead, get rid of the body.

If she's alive, I wanna know who she talked to and what she said.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Should we tell the Frenchman about the girl? You don't inform professionals of that sort.

You simply hire and pay them.

In that case, I once again put my trust in you, David Burns.



- Cheers.



- Isn't it a little early for this? Never too early to celebrate success and friendship.

Hey, lovely color the color of money.

Hey, this is useless.

We can't even get down there.

So, what are we gonna do? We come back in the daylight with a boat.

Come on.

¢Ü Get closer ¢Ü ¢Ü Want love ¢Ü Is this safe enough? ¢Ü Hold her hand ¢Ü That's perfect.

But if we can see Rudy through these, there's a good chance he can see us.

Mm, what's that smell? Coconut oil.

Makes you feel like having a pina colada.

Or something.

Excuse me.

Where am I? Morning, Micki.

I'm Michael, remember? Micki? Who's Micki?

- What's going on around here?

- There was an accident yesterday, And you had a temporary memory loss.

Oh.

Then, it wasn't a dream.

Um, do I know you? I'm Michael Knight.

I met you at the party yesterday.

Look, I don't meet guys at parties and then go home with them.

I don't think.

Do you remember anything? Anything at all? I think there were there were two men.

L

- I felt I felt like I was falling.

I don't understand.

Those two men, we think they tried to k*ll you.

Why would anyone wanna k*ll me? That's what we were hoping you'd tell us.



- Did you think of something?

- Kind of.

I'm hungry.

Don't worry, Micki.

We'll help you remember.

Now, did you take a purse with you to the party? Yeah.

I mean, well Well, I

-I guess so.

Don't you think? Maybe I dropped it.

I'll tell you what.

I'll go down to the beach and look for it, huh? If you need me, either of you, you call me on the comlink.

Uh, Michael?

- Thank you.



- That's okay.



- You're a real nice lady.



- Am I? Somebody doesn't think so.

Michael, there were a substantial number of vehicles at the party last night.

Doing a comparative analysis of license plates can be very involved, sometimes as far back as the factory where the car was made.

Kinda like a family tree, huh? I hate to be the one to break this to you, but automobiles are not human.

They have no lineage or personality.

I wonder why I keep forgetting that.

You've probably begun to form a psychological attachment to me.

That would be a logical human response.

No.

I think it was that '56 Chevy I had in high school.

Boy, I loved that car.

Really? KITT, go into surveillance mode, huh?

- Michael?

- Yeah, KITT.

Could your 1956 Chevrolet go into surveillance mode? No, but we sure had some fun cruising hamburger joints.

Ray, we got company.

You always carry a purse when you go to the beach? Well, it keeps my suntan lotion from melting.



- See ya.



- Hold it.

Sometimes it attracts the wrong kind of people.

KITT, I need help.

Just give us the purse.

I'm sorry.

I mean, I didn't realize, you know? It really doesn't go with your outfit at all.

It's my mother's.

What the hell is that? Ray! Ray, come on! Forget that! Let's get outta here! Come on! Michael, are you all right? Michael? I'm afraid this is as far as we go, Michael.

Let's go back and get what we came for.

Don't worry.

I'll talk to Bonnie about adding pontoons.

It doesn't make sense.

I mean, nobody leaves the house without a driver's license, some kind of I.

D.

What good is a key if I don't know where it fits? I'm sorry.

I don't know.

I just feel so helpless.

You're all I've got.

You know what's the scariest part of all? The more time goes by, the more scared I get that I'm not gonna remember.

I promise you I'll find out who you are.

Somebody's bound to report your disappearance.

What if they don't? Then they don't know what they're missing.

You better get ready.

Okay.

You hang in there.

Excuse me.

No problem.

Uh, actually, I wanted a word with you.

In private if you don't mind.

Why would I mind? Michael, I'm getting worried.

Join the club.

I'm serious.

My father arrives in one hour, and we still don't have a clue of who could be his his m*rder*r.

Marie Elena, we don't have that much to work with.

It It's this thing with Micki.

I know she's a nice girl.

I know, but it's all this time you spend with her.

Micki's memory could turn out to be the clue.

And what if it isn't? If you spend all your time on her, maybe it's too late to help my father.

I'm sorry, Michael.

But you are our only hope right now.

And And we need you.

I need you.

Round three.

Of the seven possible assassins, my sources have uncovered movement in three areas.

Micki, you recognize any of these pictures? Hmm.

No.

But this one kind of looks like Al Pacino, don't you think? Sorry.

This one is Carlos.

Somehow or other, I don't think they'd hire him for a Latin American hit.

Romeo and Juliet.



- Devon, that's one picture.

Are they a team?

- They're one person.

No one knows if the assassin is a man or a woman.

Now, the Frenchman is a definite possibility.

The Frenchman? There was something about a Frenchman.



- Are you sure?

- Yes! L

- I remember these two guys were talking about a Frenchman.

What exactly did they say? Micki, that's good.

Really.

It saves us a lot of work.

All we gotta do now is find the Frenchman's aliases.



- Hello.



- Hello.

Joe Palmer.

I remember I'm engaged to him.

You're engaged to the Frenchman? No.

L

-I'm engaged toJoe Palmer.

He's my fiance.

We have to find him.

He'll know who I am.

Yeah, what is it? My scanners show Burns's car is now leaving the beach house.

I'll be right there.

Wait.

What about me? Bonnie will show you how to use the comlink.

I'm sorry, Micki.

I'm sorry.

Please, try to understand.

You know, this is so important.

I understand, okay? I understand that you have a father and a home and you know someone loves you.

I understand perfectly.

Michael, what is the purpose of following David Burns? Instinct, KITT.

Instinct.

You know I can't compute instinct.

Is there anything I can do? Yeah.

Promise to cruise a hamburger joint with me someday.

If we must.

But meanwhile, Burns is now three quarters of a mile up and turning left.

Great.

As long as they don't know where we are.

I think we just hit the jackpot, KITT.

Well, while we wait for the payoff, I've had some results on the Frenchman's aliases.

I still haven't determined which is his real name.

That's okay.

He probably doesn't even remember himself.



- Wow, that's great, KITT.



- Merci beaucoup.

Just how many languages do you speak now, anyway? Should I count the archaic tongues? Hi, Joe? This is Micki.

You know Micki.

You don't know.

This is Joe Palmer, isn't it? I see.

Well, I'm sorry if I bothered you.

Have a nice day.

KITT, do you see what I see? If you're referring to that derelict 70 meters in front of us, yes.

Go in for a closer look, huh? Michael, why should that common bum be of any concern to us? Because your average common bum doesn't wear a Swiss watch.

Shall we, as you say, take him? Not just yet.

Let's just follow him.

I don't wanna blow it till we're sure.

I don't wanna report a missing person.

I wanna know if someone else did.

No, I know where she is.

Look.

All I wanna know is did someone report a missing Micki? This is not a joke.

It's not even a little bit funny.

Oh, forget it.

Pretty big hotel, KITT.

How am I gonna find his room, huh? Well, why don't you use your instincts, Michael? Yeah, right.

Hi.

Sorry to bother you, but I locked my keys in my room.

Always happens when I'm in a hurry.

Thank you.

All he cares about is hurting me and stealing something from Steven Brickmont.

Something that's you.

You're nothing but a piece of property.

That's not true.

And by next week, I'm going to be Mrs.

Joe Palmer.

I won't allow it.

I'll stop him if I can't stop you.

That's me! Look, Joe loves me and I love him.

I'm an actress.

Of course! You wouldn't know what to do with a real man.

A pretty good actress too.

I lost him.

Well, you're only human, and he is one of the world's best.

Yeah.

What's that? The comlink.

Micki depressed the switch.



- I have a message for you.



- Okay, let's hear it.

Michael? It's me, Micki Bradburn.

See? I remembered everything.

I'm going home.

KITT? I've anticipated your next request, Michael.

There is a Micki with an "i" Bradburn living in Santa Monica.

Let's go! Welcome home.

Yeah, I can keep her here till the action dies down.

Then we can tie up the loose ends.

Right.

Look.

I don't remember anything.

I got amnesia when I fell off the cliff.

See? Amnesia? You've been watching too many soap operas.

Ladies and gentlemen, mesdames and messieurs, welcome to the Third Los Angeles International Equestrian Grand Prix.

Our field of contestants representing 12 nations are now in the process of filing onto the field and trooping the colors of their respective countries prior to the national anthem and a start to this afternoon's competition.

We are honored today to have 44 of the world's premiere Grand Prix horses and riders.

Hope I'm not too late.

Um, well, can I get you something to drink? You're the one who needs something to drink.

Come on, we'd better go and call for reinforcements.

I understand that this is your favorite sport, Mr.

President.

Actually, Maria Elena's mother has always loved horses.

I feel that it's important for our country to be represented in such an international event.

My people will be very proud and very happy.

Well, Daddy, it will make me very happy if you turn around right now and get back into that plane.

What would I say when I got back to San Mirada, daughter? No.

To become a coward is as hateful as becoming a dictator.

Daddy? Si, querida.

I'm very proud of you.

I am a very stubborn old man.

You are my president.

Is this a pep talk before my speech? Maybe.

Micki, do you remember one of those guys trying to k*ll you? No.

Well, sort of.

L

- I think that Well, it must have had something to do with what I heard them say about that French guy.

All right.

What else did you hear them say? Something about, uh, people watching.

People watching? A pedestrian show? Pedestrian show? Wait a minute.

An An equestrian show?

- KITT?

- Yes, Michael.

The equestrian grounds.

According to my calculations,

- they're 20 miles from here.



- Let's go for it.

Did you reach Devon yet? There's a great deal of activity on the communication system there.

I'm working on it.

Michael, look out! Look out! Michael, if you don't stop driving like this, I'm gonna jump out.

Again? Michael, I'm picking up a man with a high

-powered w*apon.

He's 50 meters straight ahead.

Get him in the limo.

Let's go! Move it! Michael, be careful! Don't worry.

You're completely safe in this car.

I meant the horses.

Don't scare the horses.

Hang on! We can easily catch him, Michael.

I know, KITT, but I don't wanna hurt the horse.

Just wanna wear him out.

Take over, buddy.

Yeah! ¢Ü Get closer ¢Ü ¢Ü Want love ¢Ü¢Ü Michael? Yes, KITT.

How much longer will we be staying here?

- Two days.

Why?

- The sea air is very bad for my circuitry.

Well, it's real good for my, uh, my lungs.

See you in two days, buddy.



- Michael, you don't have enough flowers.



- What are you talking about? My sensors show Marie Elena already has a visitor.

For you.

Thank you.

You're so sweet.

For you.

Thank you.

My hero.

Well, anybody wanna, uh, cruise a hamburger joint? Michael Knight, a lone crusader in a dangerous world, the world of the Knight Rider.
