"Showtime, buddy." "Who says there's not a cop around when you need one?" "Man, oh, man, I haven't seen one of these things in a while." "She is a beaut." "Everywhere but under the hood." "Think I got a dead battery." "Appreciate a jump." "Sure, no problem." "Thanks." "Adam 2525, right on schedule." "I'll say one thing for the police:" "They're consistent and dependable, unlike some people I know." "Don't start on me, KITT." "Go ahead." "Crank her over." "Okay." "[ Softly ] Start the download." "[ Ignition Starting, Not Catching ]" "Sounds like you got problems beyond your battery." "Boy, you're telling me." "You know, she can be a real pain in the butt sometimes." "Oh?" "Yep." "She's got a mind of her own." "Tell you what." "One more time, I'm sure she'll start." "Okeydoke." "Thanks." "You enjoyed that, didn't you?" "Finish the download." "Hey, listen" " Oh, wow!" "No wonder your battery's drained." "Hey, how's the game going?" "Uh-- We're ahead 14-zip, at the beginning of the third." "It's, uh, a kit from RadioShack." "Oh." "Seven, eight, nine." "Ten for ten." "They were all assigned." "Assigned to what?" "Melting down police issues." "There must have been over 8,000 handguns." "Maybe they did some kind of swap, fake ones for the real thing." "We're talking serious money here." "Who was in charge of destroying the guns?" " Commissioner Daniels." " Big surprise." "[ Devon ] Doesn't mean she knew anything about it." "They may have acted entirely on their own." "You don't know the system like I do." "They would have needed help higher up." "Thank you, Karen." "KITT has just completed a workup off Shawn's memory." "Looks like he matched that face to a file." " So what's this guy's real name?" " Watts." "Tommy Watts." "Former homicide detective." "Explains why he didn't show up in current personnel files." "He served in the Philippine War in '93, before he joined the P.D." "Yeah." "A weapon specialist." "Says here he worked directly under Daniels." "Not bad." "At least KITT goes out with a bang." "The 4000 will be fully operational tomorrow morning, just ahead of our deadline." "I'd say the bang is premature." "KITTstill has plenty left to do." "Do we have an address for Mr. Watts?" "Hey, Charlie, you should've seen the car I gave a jump to today." "The whole dash was decked out with TV screens and a computer console." "Must have been that new 'Vette I've been reading about." "No." "This was an old '57 Chevy, cherried out all the way." "The damn thing had artificial intelligence too." "It was transferring some kind of data... when it switches over to the ball game and gives me the score." "You're telling me they tapped into the police mainframe?" "The log showed a global download of the personnel files." "It's only a matter of time before they put it together." "A complete loss of memory, huh?" "I don't enjoy being tense." "I'm sure there's a solution." "Yes, sir, there is." "Sir, would you like me to engage my virtual reality mode?" "Why not?" "It's very impressive, but I really think we ought to slow down." "There is no need for concern." "I'm programmed to cruise at the optimum speed... calibrated to a risk factor of.28, which on this roadway calculates at 243 kilometers per hour." "Look out!" "I assume you have an explanation." "We would've sustained no damage whatsoever by striking that animal." "It's a small fix." "Overall, what do you think?" "I'm not looking for praise, Devon." "I want your honest opinion." "It means a lot to me." "You've done a remarkable job." "It meets and, in most cases, exceeds all our technical criteria." "I know we do things very differently, but believe it or not, our goal is the same." "KITT was an exceptional car for his time, no question about it." "It's just that the time has come to pass the baton." "I agree that the Knight 4000 is superior in every way." "Except one:" "It lacks KITT's humanity." "People make mistakes." "After prosecuting scum for so many years, always having to fight defense lawyers and politicians... who only care about winning, well, I've lost faith in human beings." "Maybe it's time you renewed it." "Loyalty and respect cannot be dictated, Russ." "It has to be earned." "That being said, you did a damn good job." "I'm proud to have you as a partner." "Don't tell me." "He escaped." "Nobody escapes." "Here we go:" "Watts, TommyJ." "Convicted in 1998 for fatally shooting a suspect with a banned handgun." "Early parole on February 19."

" [ Sirens Blaring ]" "You're gonna have to pull out all the stops, pal." "They've been pulled." "This is a two-tone lowrider, remember?" "Use your E.I.D. on them." "I tried." "Their ignition systems must have a scrambler I can't penetrate." "Prepare for a collision." "What?" "KITT!" "What the hell are you doing to my car, KITT?" "That's original paint." "You'll have to trust me." "KITT!" "We're gonna go off the end of the dock!" "I trust you two are all right." "Oh, yeah.Just fine, KITT, if you forget the fact that my Chevy is sinking past a school of bass." "There was no alternative." "They'll assume you drowned when you don't come up right away." "Yeah, and they'll be correct." "Despite this car's shortcomings, the passenger compartment happens to be airtight." "You have approximately 25 minutes of oxygen remaining." "Forget all the nasty things I ever said about you, KITT." "[ Crackling ] I'm afraid I already have." "What's going on, pal?" "The rest of the car isn't as watertight." "I only have about 30 seconds of voice transmission left." "Water gets in your C.P.U., you're out of here." "I know." "I guess this is good-bye." "I'm sure some of my chips will be salvageable, Shawn." "Of course, you're welcome to pick and choose." "I'll do that." "Michael, take care of yourself." "[ Thud ]" "[ Creaking, Thud ]" "[ Crackling, Humming ]" "[ Silence ]" "KITT?" "KITT, you there?" "What's going on here?" "I think you know exactly what's going on here."

"They would've needed help higher up." "Well?" "They have no hard proof." "What the Knight Foundation knows consists of speculation and vague allusions." "You need the doctor for anything else?" "No." "It's sad he's going to become a victim of another senseless handgun shooting, isn't it?" "Pleasant dreams." "Shall we drink to what may be the start of, um" "Of what?" "One man's dream." "And to our future, no matter who it may take us up against or where." "[ Sustained Beep ]" "?" "[ Organ ]" "I can't tell you how sorry I am." "I really liked the man." "I've decided not to renew your contract, Mr. Maddock." "It's already cost all of us too much." "Look, Mayor Abbey, there's a strong possibility your own police force is implicated... with regard to the illegal handguns." "Can you substantiate this claim?" "We're very close." "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." "[ Sighs ] 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?" "[ Woman On TV] 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." "[ Charlie ] She's a real beauty, isn't she?" "[ Maddock ] Yeah."

"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." "[ Shouts ]" "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."

"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." "[ Shawn ] 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." " [ Gunshot ] - [ Screaming ]" "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?" " [ Writing ]" " 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." "[ Abbey ] I am far from relaxed." "They've already accessed police computers and nowjudicial 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."
