�Knight Racers�

Fade in: Warehouse Int. night. Two shadowy figures are walking around. They walk to a third figure.

Zoom in: figures. One of them is Andrew Knight. The other two are unknown. Andrew hands one of them some money.

Man 1
It�s been a pleasure doing business with you.

The Man hands Andrew a bag of drugs. Andrew inspects it. He smiles.

Andrew
Thank you very much. They were right when they said that you were the best.

Man 2
Now if you�ll just come with me.

Andrew
I don�t think so.

Spot lights shine through the windows. We hear the sounds of a helicopter and sirens.

KITT
(o.s.)
This is the police. Come out with your hands up.

Man 1
Dammit the cops.

Man 2
let�s get outta here, NOW!

The two men take off running.

Andrew
KITT, They�re getting away!

KITT bursts in through the front door. Andrew climbs in. They take off after the two men.

Cut to: Warehouse ext. night. The two men continue running. KITT comes up behind them. The driver�s door opens and Andrew jumps out and lands on the two men. They all fall to the ground. Man 2 is out on the ground, Andrew and Man 1 get up. Andrew punches the man in the face. He falls to the ground in pain.

Andrew
Oh forgot to tell y�all.
(holds up FLAG ID)
I�m with the Foundation for Law And Government, Division 1 and you guys are under arrest.

Start opening sequence.

Andrew
Ok so listen up. Here�s the story. Twenty years ago there was this guy with a super car that went around helping people. But five years later he quits. Finally he re-surfaces to fix up his old partner and then becomes head of the company. But you see crime in this town got bad and yours truly was a thief. But after a robbery goes bad I run into this same guy who turns out to be my long lost father. He made me a proposition, join him and have a clean record or go to jail. So now, like father like son, I am on a shadowy flight to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless. Who am I? I am the Knight Rider

End opening sequence.

Fade in: Street ext. day. It�s a nice sunny afternoon. people are out and about. The street is crowded with people and cars.

cut to: KITT ext. day. KITT is driving down a back road.

Cut to: KITT int. day. Andrew is behind the wheel. He is wearing jeans and a red T-shirt. We see that the car is in NORMAL MODE. �Bad to the Bone� by George Thorgood and the Destroyers is playing.

Andrew
Ah, summer time in California. The sun, the beach, (beat) the babes.

KITT
Andrew, is there a reason why males drool over women like dogs?

Andrew
Yeah, human nature.

KITT
Is this some sort of mating ritual humans go through.

Andrew
Sort of.

KITT
Michael�s calling.

Andrew
(to himself)
saved by the bell.
(to monitor)
�sup, Pop?

Michael
I just wanted to congratulate you on the drug bust.

Andrew
...and...

Bonnie
And I need you here so I can get a look at KITT.

Andrew
Waitaminute, you want me to drive all the way back to the foundation just for a tune up?

Bonnie
No, we�ll meet you about a mile outside of the town you�re in now.

Andrew
If you say so.

The picture on the monitor fades out. Andrew flips a few switches.

Andrew
How in the hell are they gonna meet us outside of town?

KITT
They must have gotten the Transport truck running.

Andrew
The what?

KITT
You�ll see.

Andrew
(notices something)
We may have to put that on hold for a little while.

Cut to: Andrew�s P.O.V. We see a young woman about Andrew�s age being harassed by a gang hanging around a new Chevy truck.

Cut to: street ext. day. The girl tries to brush pass the gang. They won�t let her pass.

Kevin
Come on, Baby. Just a little.

Sarah
Buzz off, Kevin.

Kevin
All I want is one little kiss.
(puckers)

Andrew
(O.C.)
Hey, honey.

Sarah
Hey, Baby.

Sarah manages to get past the Kevin and his gang. She goes over to Andrew. Andrew is leaning against KITT. Andrew puts his arm around Sarah.

Andrew
Is something goin� on?

Sarah
No, not really.

Kevin
Nice set of wheels. What can it do?

KITT
A lot more than that bucket of bolts you have.

Kevin
(aggressive)
What?

Andrew
(under his breath)
Shut up, KITT.
(to Kevin)
I said a lot more than your truck.

Kevin
Well then let�s see.

Sirens in the back ground start. The gang scrambles. The police car pulls up just as the gang leaves. The sheriff gets out and heads over to Sarah, Andrew, and KITT.

Andrew
(under his breath)
KITT, better go into undercover mode.

Cut to: KITT int. day. The panels cover KITT�s Displays.

Cut to KITT ext. Day. the sheriff walks. Andrew pulls of his sunglasses.

Sheriff
What�s going on here.

Andrew
Oh I was riding through town and saw a group of people. So I figured I�d stop and ask where to find a good place to eat.

Sheriff
and then...

Sarah
and then he saw that Kevin and his goons where messin� with me and he helped me.

Sheriff
(walks around car)
(into walkie talkie)
Shannon, can you run some plates for me. California plates K-N-I-G-H-T

Shannon
(V.O.)
The car is registered under the Knight Foundation.

Sheriff
(to Andrew)
Well.

Andrew pulls out his wallet and shows the sheriff his FLAG ID.

Sheriff
(to Shannon)
Thanks.
(To Andrew)
Listen, I don�t want any trouble out of you.

Andrew
That�s good, cause I�m not looking for trouble.

Sheriff
At least we see eye to eye.

The Sheriff goes back to his car and exits.

Sarah
(extends hand)
Sarah Jacobs.

Andrew
(accepts hand)
Andrew Knight.

Sarah
That�s a nice car you�ve got here.

Andrew
It�s not mine.

Sarah
(concerned)
Oh!

Andrew
It�s the company car.

Sarah
Where do you work?

Andrew
Foundation for Law And Government, Division 1.

KITT
Ahem.

Sarah
What was that?

Andrew
That�s just KITT.

Sarah
KITT?

Andrew
Yeah. KITT introduce yourself.

Cut to: KITT int. day. The panels pull reveal KITT�s panels

KITT
Hello, Sarah.

Sarah
What kind of car is this.

KITT
I am the Knight Industries Three Thousand. K.I.T.T. for easy reference or KITT as my friends call me.

Andrew
He�s the first robotic law enforcement agent in the world.

Sarah
You mean like Robocop.

KITT
Hardly, Robocop would be jealous of what I can do.

Andrew
Hey KITT, we gotta go meet Mom and Dad outside of town.

Sarah
Can I come with you. I can show you how to get there.

Andrew
I don�t see why not.

Cut to: KITT int. later. Andrew is driving in Normal mode and Sarah is sitting in the passengers seat. She is in awe at the car.

Sarah
Wow. What all can he do?

Andrew
There isn�t much  ol� KITT can�t do.

Sarah
(reading the labels)
Turbo boost. Pursuit mode. Ski mode. N.I.S. Burrow mode.
(beat)
What the hell?

Andrew looks over to Sarah and smiles.

Andrew
KITT, wadda ya say we give the lady a little demonstration?

Close up: Pursuit Mode button. Andrew presses the button

Cut to: KITT ext. day. The car speeds off.

Cut to: Turbo Boost button. Andrew presses that button

cut to: KITT ext. day. The car makes a tremendous leap and lands

cut to KITT int. day. Andrew is smirking and Sarah is scared out of her wits.

Sarah
whoa! How the...
(beat)
Nevermind I give up trying to figure out this car.

Cut to street ext. day. We see a semi. The doors to the trailer open up and KITT climbs in. The doors close behind them. Andrew and Sarah get out of the car.

Andrew
Sweet, we got a semi too?

Michael
Yeah, this is the old transport truck we used.

KITT
It�s smaller than I remember it.

Bonnie
Bringing home your girlfriends?

Andrew
This is Sarah. I helped her out back in town.

Michael
(skeptical)
Uh huh.

Sarah
What the hell is all this?

Andrew
(sarcastically)
This is all part of a government conspiracy to take over the world by programming cars to backtalk and be egotistical.

KITT
I�m not egotistical. Proud maybe but not egotistical.

Bonnie
KITT (beat) shut up and open up.

The hood of the car raises up and Bonnie gets to work.

Michael
Actually, this is just part of a nation wide government project to champion the cause of the innocent, helpless, and the powerless.

Andrew
We also have the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

KITT
I think not.

Michael
KITT hates hights.

Sarah
A car with fears?

Andrew
He gets that from Mom over there.

Bonnie
Well your in good shape, KITT.

KITT
Of course. Andrew has a better habit of keeping good care of me than some people.

Michael
Of whom are you speaking of over there?

Andrew
What can I say? I�m a car lover.

KITT
I�m picking up a disturbance in town.

Andrew
Where?

KITT
At the car dealership.

Sarah
That�s where my father works.

Andrew
A�ight let�s go.

Andrew and Sarah get in the car. The doors of the semi open and KITT back out on to the street.

Cut to: Semi ext. day. KITT does a 180 and races into town.

Cut to: KITT int. Day. Andrew flips a few switches

Andrew
KITT, gimme pursuit mode.

KITT
Right away, Andrew.

Close up: Pursuit Mode button. The button illuminates.

Cut to: KITT ext. day. The car continues to races.

Cut to: Auto dealership int. day. The gang from earlier is ravaging through the entire store. Kevin is picking the lock for the key case. It opens and Kevin starts handing out keys. In the b.g. we hear KITT�s engine.

Kevin
Let�s scram.

The gang rushes out side and climbs into their assigned cars. They all drive off. KITT comes into view.

cut to: KITT int. day. Andrew is driving and Sarah is in the passenger seat. A �67 GTO roars by.

Andrew
Okay, KITT, give me passive laser restraints and lets get them.

Sarah
What about my father?

Andrew
KITT?

KITT
I�m picking up a life form near the building ahead. He�s Unconscious

Andrew
Alright let�s check on him.

Cut to Dealership ext. day. A man is laying on the ground and KITT pulls up. Andrew and Sarah get out of the car and head over to the man.

Andrew
KITT scan his vitals, will ya?

Close up: KITT�s scanner bar. The scanner goes back and forth scanning. We hear the familiar whooshing noise.

KITT
He�s suffered a blow to the head. Otherwise he�ll be okay.

Andrew
Let�s get him inside.

Cut to dealership int. later. The man from earlier, Bruce Jacobs, is sitting in a chair with an ice pack on his head. Sarah is crouching next to her father and Andrew is sitting on the nearby desk.

Andrew
What happened?

Bruce
I don�t know. One minute I�m showing a customer a car the next I�m out cold on the ground.

Sarah
Did you see who it was.

Bruce
No.

Andrew
Okay, you guys stay here and I�ll go have a look outside. Don�t worry I�ll get to the bottom of this.

Andrew walks outside

Cut to: Dealership ext. eve. Andrew walks over to KITT and examines the ground. KITT turns on his lights. Bruce and Sarah walk outside and join Andrew.

Andrew
What cars were stolen.

Bruce
By the looks of it. I�d say six �92 Camaros, two �87 �Vettes, three �77 Trans Ams, and a �67 GTO.

Andrew
You�re gonna sit there and tell me you actually had a �67 Pontiac GTO in stock.

Bruce
It was a display piece.

Andrew
Which means it didn�t have a lot of gas in it. KITT, have Dad put an APB for any GTOs that go to any gas stations.

KITT
Right away.

Bruce
Well if you need anything gimme a call. I�m in the book.

Exit Bruce and Sarah. Andrew leans back down to examine the ground.

KITT
Andrew, I�m detecting another set of tires.

Andrew
(Heads over to Driver door)
Yeah, what kind?

Close up: KITT�s monitor. It shows a CGI of a set of tread marks.

KITT
They appear to be consistent with those of a truck.

Andrew
What kind of truck?

KITT
A newer Chevrolet truck to be precise.

Andrew
I don�t suppose you could tell me who.

KITT
Yes, Kevin Baker.

Andrew
(suprissed)
How the Hell do you know that?

KITT
I scanned the security camera over there.

Andrew looks up.

Andrew�s P.O.V.: We see a security camera mounted on a wall nearby.

(commercial break)

Fade in: Warehouse int. day. The GTO from earlier pulls up and parks. Kevin gets out of the car. One of his goons comes up to him.

Fred
Looks like we made out good.

Kevin
Yeah, now let�s get these cars out of here before the cops find us.

Kevin walks into the office.

Cut to: office int. day. Kevin sits in the chair and picks up the phone. He dials a number.

(Beat)
(Beat)

Kevin
Yeah, we got the cars you wanted.
(Beat)
There may be a problem.
(beat)
Some guy named Andrew Knight.
(Beat)
If that�s what has to be done.

Kevin hangs up the phone. He picks up a near by gun and cocks it.

(Commercial break)

Fade in: Semi trailer int. day. Michael and Bonnie are waiting as Andrew pulls in with KITT. Andrew gets out of the car.

Andrew
What�ve we got?

Michael
It seems that a GTO pulled into a gas station just out of town. Same year as the one stolen from the dealership.

Andrew
I�m on it.

Cut to: Gas station ext. day. KITT pulls in and Andrew gets out. The attendant comes over.

Andrew
Andrew Knight with the Foundation for Law And Government.

Attendant
You here about that GTO that came through here.

Andrew
Yessir, what can you tell me?

Attendant
Well when he came in I didn�t think nothing of it. But then I remembered the APB that y�all put out lookin� for a GTO.

Andrew
Which way did he go?

Attendant
(Pointing)
That way.

Andrew
Thanks.

Andrew walks over to KITT.

KITT
Andrew, the treads match those at the dealership.

Andrew
Well, let�s follow them and see where they lead.

Cut to: Warehouse, KITT pulls in and comes to a stop.

Cut to: KITT, int. Andrew put the car in park.

Andrew
I don�t like this.

Andrew�s POV: the Warehouse is completely empty.

Andrew
KITT, what can you tell me?

Cut to: KITT ext. Front. The scanner moves back in forth making the trademark sound for a few beats.

KITT
It appears that the warehouse has been empty for quite some time.

Andrew
Stay here, I�ll be right back.

Andrew gets out of the car and walks over to the office. He heads over to the phone and examines it.

Andrew
(into comlink)
KITT, can you trace this call.

Andrew presses the re-dail button on the phone and it starts to ring.

KITT
(V.O.)
Got it.

Andrew hangs up the phone and heads back over to KITT. He climbs in.

Andrew
What�d we get?

KITT
The number is registered to a Greg Marshall. I�ve got the directions displayed on the plasma screen.

Andrew touches the screen and the map minimizes and an array of touch buttons. He touches a few buttons and an image of Michael appears. He drops what he�s doing and turns to Andrew.

Michael
What is it?

Andrew
I need you to run a check on a Gary Marshall.

Michael
Who�s he?

Andrew
A suspect on the car robberies.

Michael
Well it�ll be a while until I can get it to you because half of our servers are down.

Andrew
Damn, all right I�ll stick around town a while and see what I can dig up.
