"ALEX:" "Do not underestimate these guys, Mike." "Johnny and Ian Chang both have criminal records and a history of violence." "Use your contact to get close to them." "We have to figure out how they're smuggling US military technology overseas and who their contact is." "Why don't you just take them down and sweat them?" "If we move in now, we'll spook their supplier." "See what you can find." "But don't provoke them." "You're the boss."

"Accessing surveillance cameras." "Do you see the Chang brothers?" "Activating facial recognition." "Neither Johnny nor Ian Chang are in the establishment." "Watch my back." "Our intel says this is their favorite watering hole." "Heads up!" "Whoa." "(CHUCKLING) Ah!" "You look pretty good for a dead man." "You should know better than to believe rumors." "Ain't that the truth." "Surprised to see you." "Last time I talked to you, you were headed back to Iraq." "I'm done with the army." "Or I guess you could say the army is done with me." "I'm racing again." "I heard there's money to be made out here if you can drive fast." "There is." "But getting with a crew can be hard." "I'm sure I could hook you up, though." "All right?" "Michael, there is still no sign of the Chang brothers." "But Ian Chang's girlfriend, Celine Lea, is here." "She is the auburn-haired woman by the jukebox." "What do you say, ready to concentrate on something else?" "Aw, man, ain't you tired of losing?" "Call it." "Heads." "Her." "Celine the ice queen?" "No, man." "She's taken." "Pick somebody else." "(CHUCKLING) When has that ever mattered?" "Never." "KITT, change of plans." "We're going to get acquainted with the Changs from a different angle." "Tell me everything you can about Ian's girlfriend." "Celine Lea, 5'5"." "Birthday, October 10th." "Graduated Corona High with a 3.9 GPA." "According to her Web-book profile, things that make her hot are bad boys, fast cars and the poetry of Pablo Neruda." "I'm Mike." "I'm not interested." "Oh, neither am I. I'm just trying to win a bet." "See, my friend over there says that you're hot but superficial." "I say there's more to you than that." "I'm guessing you're a Libra." "What are you, a psychic or a stalker?" "I'm just observant." "You're all about balance but not afraid to take chances." "You're not like most guys around here." "That's because I'm not from around here." "I'm here to race." "KITT:" "Michael, Johnny and Ian Chang have entered." "They do not appear pleased that you are talking with Celine." "You know, I can read your mind, too." "And I know exactly what you're thinking." "And the answer is... (GASPS)" "Ow!" "Relax, bro." "We were just talking." "Do I like you?" "Because only people I like get to call me bro." "Okay, then." "How about I buy you a beer?" "Right." "Maybe we become buds, take fishing trips together." "Maybe I'll just kick your ass." "WOMAN:" "Whoa." "No fighting tonight." "Let's take this outside." "I got a better idea." "Let's race." "I only race for pinks." "Mikey, forget these dudes, man." "They're not worth it." "Walk away." "I got this." "Okay." "Let's go." "SEAN:" "Watch the bar." "That's my ride." "What do you got?" "A Mustang." "I'm scared." "You should be." "The only rule is that there are no rules."

"You're supposed to be infiltrating their crew, not betting a piece of classified technology in a street race." "The only thing these guys respect is speed." "I gotta earn some street cred if I'm gonna get in with the big dog." "The big dog?" "I was unaware there were canines involved." "No, I'm talking about pecking order." "The alpha male." "The leader of the pack." "That seems a dated concept." "Is not the goal of modern society to foster equality?" "Maybe in theory." "But in reality, if you're not the shark, you're food." "KITT, I said to make it look good, not let him win." "What's he got under there, a jet engine?" "Actually, quite close, Michael." "His nitro system is replicating a modified ramjet." "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "KITT:" "Michael, there is an oncoming car." "And you are in the wrong lane." "Michael, would you like me to drive?" "KITT, we gotta get back in the race." "Our delay was significant enough to allow Ian an opportunity to win." "We can't lose, KITT." "Switch to Attack Mode." "If I switch to Attack Mode now, I risk exposure..." "If you don't switch to Attack Mode, you're going to end up in a Tijuana chop shop." "Switching to Attack Mode." "(ENGINE REVVING)" "The other driver is behaving irrationally." "That's because he's starting to realize he's food." "KITT:" "Based on speed and trajectory, there is no way to avoid impact with the vehicle we are rapidly approaching." "KITT, Turbo Boost." "Activating Turbo Boost." "BOY:" "Sweet!" "KITT, they can't see you like this." "Transforming midair could affect my structural integrity." "We don't have a choice." "Transforming now."

"Five more minutes, and you would have been under the covers." "Exactly what you're thinking." "Could you turn that off, please?" "I'll be e-mailing that to myself for later." "ALEX:" "We have a mission update." "Last night, NSA intercepted encoded Chinese satellite transmissions sent via next-gen US military equipment." "I take it we didn't sell it to them." "We're talking prototype here." "Even we don't have it in the field yet." "CHARLES:" "It's worse than we thought." "Silent running systems, night vision, stealth components, all restricted weapons technology ending up in China, where it's reverse-engineered and sold to unfriendly third parties." "ALEX:" "We suspect the Changs' custom cars export business is a front for their smuggling operation." "The feds stripped their last shipment of cars down to their frames and found nothing." "It's up to us to find their source." "This is vital to national security, people." "Let's get it done." "When will KITT be ready to roll?" "Couple hours." "I'll take him out personally." "I want to keep an eye on him." "Sure it's not Mike you want to keep an eye on?" "Mike is expendable." "The car isn't." "How are we supposed to make our shipment without the car we promised our buyer?" "You were the one that told me to race for pink slips." "Well, I didn't think you'd lose." "I swear to God, he wasn't driving the same car." "Yeah." "I switched in the middle of the race." "So, where's my car?" "It's over there." "(EXCLAIMS)" "That might take you a while to buff out." "Why don't I just take this one, and we'll call it even?" "Why don't I bury you in the desert, and then we'll call it even?" "Because it wouldn't make you any money." "You need a driver." "I need a sponsor." "Take me on and we'll both win." "What are you gonna drive?" "That Mustang you fried yesterday?" "I think it'll be all right." "Sounds like you're running a little lean." "I keep my air-fuel mix tight." "She your girl?" "I'm nobody's girl." "I'm the car's mechanic." "You don't see a lot of girl mechanics." "How did you get into that?" "Why?" "You looking for a job?" "No." "I keep my girls in my car." "Not under them." "Mind if I take a look under the hood?" "I barely know you." "So, what do you say?" "Meet me here tonight." "We'll talk about it." "KITT:" "Is getting in Johnny's good graces part of your strategy for ascending their hierarchy, Michael?" "You're learning, KITT." "I gotta earn Johnny's trust if I want to race for him." "He's the big dog." "My programmers never delineated the difference between a big dog and an alpha male." "That's because the computer programmers do the alpha males' homework." "I hope you're not buying this macho crap, KITT." "What do you want him to do?" "Go to a meditation class and get in touch with his inner Prius?" "He's got to learn how to be a guy." "(IN FEMALE VOICE) What makes you think I'm a man or a woman, Michael?" "Okay." "Never do that again." "(IN MALE VOICE) I was merely pointing out that other than for reproduction, one's sex is purely arbitrary." "BOTH:" "You've got a lot to learn." "SEAN:" "There he is." "I know he's a beer guy." "What are you?" "Your best single malt, neat." "Lady who knows her Scotch." "Lucky man." "We just work together." "I'm Sarah." "Sean." "I'm gonna make a loop." "See if Johnny's here." "So, Mike tells me you guys were in the army?" "Yeah." "Went through basic and Special Forces training together." "They plucked him out for some hush-hush black ops thing." "What was he like back then?" "I was sure he was gonna do great things with his life." "That's why I was surprised to see him here." "You're here." "(CHUCKLES)" "Yeah." "Two years in prison will leave you with diminished expectations." "If you don't mind my asking..." "Received stolen property." "Hooked up with the wrong crowd when I got back from Iraq." "Problem with being the middle man, you get squeezed from both sides." "I just don't want to see Mikey make the same mistakes that I did." "Enjoy." "Hey." "I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday." "I didn't mean to cause any trouble." "Looks like you're the one who got the worst of it." "Guess all the good guys are taken." "Michael, Ian has just entered." "He is headed straight towards you." "He has a knife." "(PEOPLE CLAMORING)" "That had to hurt." "I accept your offer on one condition." "Let's hear it." "Get me a car exactly like the one my brother wrecked, by tomorrow midnight." "Uh, you owe me a car." "Why should I steal one for you?" "You wanna race for me?" "Those are my terms." "Get my brother out of here." "Any particular color?" "Mike, I searched DMV and insurance databases for that car you're after." "There's only two on the West Coast, and only one that fits your parameters." "I've upgraded KITT's Surface Screen program and loading it now." "Cool." "Dimitri Kasporov." "Served five years in federal prison for racketeering and extortion." "Perfect." "Apparently, our boy Dimitri is well-known for his" ""Models and Bottles" bikini parties and considers himself Ukrainian Hugh Hefner." "My name is Dimitri." "I have "Model Bottle" party every year." "It is best party in the whole world." "You like it, girls?" "Michael, grand theft auto is a felony." "KITT's right." "Technically, the SSC doesn't exist." "You get caught stealing a car and you're on your own." "It's not stealing if you steal from a thief." "Besides, I'll be in and out before they know what hit them." "Are you kidding?" "First, I've had the same training as you." "And second, I look better in a bikini." "Yeah." "She does." "Oh." "I'm guessing." "I'll be right back." "You gonna stand there looking pretty or help a brother out?" "Got your message." "You wanted to see me?" "Yeah, I did." "I hear you're getting in deeper with Johnny's crew." "I told you." "I need to make some fast cash." "Take it from me." "Shortcuts usually end up being the long way around." "You lose, these guys will kill you." "I don't intend to lose." "Once a Ranger, always a Ranger." "I got your back." "You know that, right?" "Yeah, I know." "Cool." "Michael, I have an incoming chat line from Billy." "Go ahead, Billy." "Mike, we ran KITT's scan of the cars in Johnny's garage, but we didn't find any restricted military technology inside." "If it's not there, that means Johnny hasn't made the transfer with his supplier yet." "Well, it has to be going down soon." "Johnny told me he wants the replacement car by midnight." "What's the ETA for stealing this car?" "Any minute now." "What's my daughter doing there?" "What the hell is she wearing?" "Uh, must be losing you, Doc." "Going through a bad reception area." "But you're not moving." "KITT:" "Communication with the SSC has been terminated." "What?" "You do look better in a bikini than I do." "Zoom in on the invite and print a copy." "KITT:" "Zooming." "Image secured." "Printing." "Sweet." "Hey, maybe next time, you can print a few of these." "KITT:" "That would be another felony." "Ignore him, KITT." "Dimitri's car is parked in the garage." "You wouldn't happen to have a spare key, would you, KITT?" "Scanning database." "KITT, 3D Object Generator." "Online." "Commencing 3D object duplication." "That is cool." "KITT:" "Thank you, Michael." "(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)" "Is this really the time to get your funk on?" "I'm getting into character." "This isn't Grand Theft Auto IV." "You get all jacked up on adrenaline, you're gonna make mistakes." "Save the lecture." "Not exactly on my bucket list of things to do before I die." "But stealing a car could be fun." "Hey." "What is on your bucket list?" "You couldn't handle the first two." "Activating sunglasses link now." "KITT:" "Sunglasses camera link established." "(POP MUSIC PLAYING)" "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "Okay, I'm at the pool." "Go past the cabanas, make a right." "God, these girls are such bimbos." "Seriously, what do guys see in girls like this?" "I don't know." "I just don't get it." "Have they ever heard of Gloria Steinem?" "Yeah." "What's the point of shattering the glass ceiling if you're just going to let yourself be objectified like a dessert buffet?" "Okay." "Now where?" "Mike?" "Mike?" "Uh, right." "Go around the corner." "You should see a garage." "Wow." "What is such pretty girl doing so far away from my party?" "I was just admiring your car." "It looks very fast." "Have you ever made love in a half-million dollar automobile?" "(CHUCKLES)" "As a matter of fact," "I have." "(GROANS)" "What was that about making love in a half a million dollar car?" "I'm losing you." "Must be going through a bad reception area." "But you're not moving." "(SIGHS)" "I got a little bit of a snag here, guys." "(ENGINE REVVING)" "SARAH:" "Meet me at the gate." "(MAN SHOUTING)" "(ENGINE STARTING) MAN:" "Go, go, go." "MIKE:" "KITT, shut the gate." "Scramble the codes." "KITT:" "Shutting gate." "Scrambling codes." "Summit Kilimanjaro." "Sail around the world." "And make love on a tropical beach, listening to Puccini." "(CHUCKLING) What are you talking about?" "Those are the things on my bucket list." "I know." "Totally out of character." "But that's why they're on my bucket list." "Not so out of character." "(BUZZING)" "(BEEPING)" "What is it?" "I don't know." "I think it's military ops." "KITT, identify it." "KITT:" "I am sorry, Michael." "I cannot." "It does not match anything in my database." "Michael, the Changs are approaching." "We got company." "Mike." "Sarah..." "You two need to get a room." "What can I say?" "Driving fast cars gets me hot." "Key." "ELECTRONIC VOICE:" "Hangar doors, open." "Decontamination complete." "ZOE:" "We better get that hood sterilized." "I was undercover." "That's like the best excuse ever." "MIKE:" "KITT, you got anything?" "No, Michael." "It appears to have been an anomaly." "Why are you rubbing yourself on the car?" "I'm trying to get it to work again." "Get what to work?" "KITT's screen wigged out when my tattoo touched it." "What are you talking about?" "Scan my tattoo." "What?" "Just scan it." "It's a tattoo." "Fast-forward the recording." "Push in and enhance." "Can't see much with all that grinding going on." "Fine." "Pull up KITT's recent history." "It's been cleared." "Did you erase it?" "Excuse us." "Erase what?" "Come on." "We both know KITT records everything he sees and does." "I want to see the part you deleted." "Mike." "Sarah saw it, too." "It was military ops, wasn't it?" "Mike." "I have no knowledge of what you saw, or what you think you saw." "But whatever it is, I'll look into it." "Okay?" "Okay." "Did you turn the car over to Johnny?" "He's set up a race for me." "Good." "Stay close to them." "They'll have to move that shipment soon." "Michael, what the hell were you thinking?" "Sarah could have been killed." "Charles, we've had this discussion before." "Sarah's been trained." "She was only supposed to be there for support, Alex." "Whose bright idea was it for her to steal a car?" "Mine." "It was a bad call." "Yeah, damn right, it was a bad call." "Look, I don't know what's going on between the two of you, but you better start getting it together and using your head, or somebody is gonna get hurt." "MAN 1 ON VIDEO:" "Twenty-five thousand on the red." "JOHN WAYNE ON VIDEO:" "Give me a stack of blues." "What are you watching?" "KITT:" "I'm researching the delineation of gender roles in the classic Western." "Men appear to be limited to fighting, playing cards and consuming prodigious amounts of whiskey." "Yeah, the good old days." "KITT:" "I detected Dr. Graiman's agitated vocal tone." "Why did you not justify yourself by explaining that stealing the car was Sarah's idea?" "You never snitch on a friend, KITT." "Besides, he's right." "It is my responsibility." "Maybe I ought to go apologize." "KITT:" "I think I understand, Michael." "Being a man means being able to take a punch, in more ways than one." "That's for sure." "JOHN WAYNE:" "More whiskey." "(SINGING)" "That's enough research, KITT." "We gotta hurry to make the race." "Mike." "I had Billy do some digging into something Sean said about being the middleman." "It seems he recently made some large cash deposits." "Bars are a cash business." "So what?" "So, maybe he's involved with Johnny in more ways than you think." "He did serve time for fencing stolen property." "Sean would never get involved with those guys." "So, that's it?" "End of discussion?" "Look, Sarah, Sean has a past." "I have a past." "You have a past." "We're all in different places now." "(SIGHS)" "Maybe we are."

"KITT:" "He is Robert Bellows, weapons designer for Lawrence Livermore, a government-funded research and development lab." "That must be our guy." "MIKE:" "The race is just a cover for the exchange." "That's why customs couldn't find the tech!" "SARAH:" "It's not hidden in the cars, it is the cars." "They're building weapons systems right into the GPS." "Sarah, listen to me." "You have to leave right now." "(GUN COCKING) Don't worry." "They don't know." "Take them off." "Sarah, can you hear me?" "Sarah?" "KITT:" "Sunglasses link has been terminated."

"Where would Johnny go if he wanted to get rid of someone?" "I told him not to get involved with those guys." "There's a place in the mesa." "We're a half hour away." "It's right near Mount Monroe." "What I'm about to show you is above any security clearance you've ever had in the military." "What are you talking about?" "KITT, online." "KITT, transform 4x4." "Okay." "Who's driving?" "KITT:" "I am, Sean." "Forget the driving." "Who's talking?" "I am." "You can call me KITT." "(JOHNNY WHOOPING)" "JOHNNY ON RADIO:" "That's enough fun." "We got work to do." "Nobody touches him."

"Save your breath, Mikey." "That's the military's next-gen EMP." "Your talking car can hear you about as much as that SUV." "Good work." "ALEX:" "Do we have anything?" "We're extrapolating from KITT's last known location, trying to close down roads and highways." "Billy?" "KITT's transponder is dead." "I got nothing." "No wonder you faked your own death." "You just go from one black ops to another, don't you?" "Yeah, well, the same could be said about you." "Hey." "They owe me this." "I spent two years inside for them." "I thought you said shortcuts were the long way around." "You always were a boy scout, weren't you?" "Goodbye." "Take the car and the truck and send them to the port with the others." "What about the girl?" "Dig another hole." "SEAN:" "Bellows!" "Hey, bro, ready to have some fun?" "(GROANS)" "BILLY:" "Wait, guys." "I got something." "It's super faint."

"We recovered the stolen vehicles and the military tech at the Port of LA." "Good job." "Did you find out about what happened with my tattoo?" "You mean those files you saw?" "Like KITT said, probably an anomaly." "Dr. Graiman's working on it." "Shouldn't happen again." "Still watching the cowboy movie?" "KITT:" "It is a fascinating narrative." "In turns dramatic, comedic, suspenseful and unabashedly heroic." "(SIGHS)" "Sounds like a great story." "You seem troubled, Michael." "He was my friend." "I am still learning about the complexities of friendship." "But I would be honored to count you as mine." "Every cowboy needs a sidekick." "I would not sell yourself short, Michael." "You are much more than a horse." "Hey, sense of humor." "That's new." "So is friendship."
