(FYI it looks like I lost all my nice screenplay formatting hope you can still make it out)
ACT 1
FADE IN:
INT HOTEL DAY
MIKE TRACEUR Stumbles down a hallway of a fancy hotel, he fumbles with the call button of an elevator.
MIKE
This is not good.
INT PARKING GARAGE DAY
A black mustang starts its motor.
KITT
Mike, are you ill?
MIKE
I don’t think I should have drunk that.
KITT
Mike, my sensors are indicating that you are developing an irregular heartbeat. I am very concerned.
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
Agent CARRIE RAVAI looks up at a large screen display indicating Mike’s vital signs.
CARRIE
Mike you’ve been poisoned! You need to get to the car!
INT PARKING GARAGE DAY
Mike stumbles out of an elevator into the garage. His eyes blur as the dark shape of a mustang moves in front of him. He loses his balance and slumps to the pavement.
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
CARRIE
Mike! Get in the car.
A second agent in the office, DYLAN FASS is now glued to the large screen display.
DYLAN
Get in the car! Get in the car!
INT PARKING GARAGE DAY
KITT opens his passenger door and gingerly backs up to Mike who is lying on the ground. KITT’s door encircles him but can do no more.
KITT
Mike I am sorry I can be of no further assistance unless you are able to get in.
Mike blinks his eyes trying to focus.
MIKE
I can’t.
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
CARRIE
Mike you can! Just get in the car! That’s all you have to do, just get in!
INT PARKING GARAGE DAY
MIKE
I can’t, I can’t move.
KITT
I understand that you can’t Mike. I am sorry that I am unable to assist you.
MIKE
It’s okay KITT.
Mike sleepily licks his dry mouth as he lies on the pavement.
KITT
I promise I will stay right here Mike. In a way you will not be alone. If you have any last words, any
messages, I will record them.
MIKE
What?
KITT
It is widely acknowledged that being able to say goodbye to a friend before their death will ease…
MIKE
Screw that!
MIKE reaches up and pulls himself into the passenger seat of the car.
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
Dylan rubs his forehead relieved still watching the monitor.
DYLAN
He’s in the car.
INT PARKING GARAGE DAY
KITT exits the parking garage and quickly gets up to speed. A dark SUV follows.
KITT
Mike I am very concerned about your vital signs. I will give you instruction on
what to do. It is very important that you try to focus and do what I tell you, do you understand?
MIKE
Alright.
KITT opens his glove compartment and pushes out two defibrillator pads.
KITT
Take these, remove the backing and place them on your chest as shown in this illustration.
KITT indicates the procedure on his screen. Mike feebly struggles with the backing, but is able to comply. Another item pops out of his glove compartment.
KITT
Take this syringe in contains adrenaline it will keep your heart going.
Mike takes out the syringe and eyes up its four inch long needle.
MIKE
What exactly are you expecting I do with this?
KITT
You must stab it directly into your heart and inject the fluid. I will display the location of the injection on
my screen.
MIKE
Oh no, I don’t think so.
INT CARGO JET
SARAH GRAIMAN chews on a pen nervously as she watches her computer screen.
SARAH
Mike just do it!
CHARLES GRAIMAN steps up behind her and looks over her shoulder.
INT KITT DAY
Mike looses consciousness and drops the needle to the floor. KITT’s monitors indicate a weakening heart rate.
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
DYLAN
No, No… No, No No!
INT KITT DAY
KITT charges his defibrillator and shocks Mike. Mike jumps awake.
MIKE
Ahh! What was that?
KITT
I’m sorry Mike. I had to shock you; your heart was not sustaining a normal rhythm. I do strongly
recommend that you pick up the needle from the floor.
INT CARGO JET
SARAH
Pick it up Mike, this is serious!
INT KITT DAY
MIKE reaches down and picks up the syringe.
MIKE
I can hardly see… and I don’t know where...
KITT
It’s okay Mike, hold it over your chest and I will direct you.
MIKE lifts the needle up to his chest.
KITT
Down a half and inch… To your left a little… Stop. That is the spot, push it in.
Mike pushes the needle in and then drops it and passes out.
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
Dylan looks at the screen with Mike’s falling heart rate and then at Carrie.
DYLAN
Did he get it in?
CARRIE
I think so.
Mike’s heart rate continues to drop until it is flatlineing.
INT CARGO JET
Sarah jumps up in her seat and stairs at her monitor where a glowing green line is indicating the lack of a heartbeat. Her father’s eyes widen behind her. Sarah hits a button that brings up the feed of a camera mounted inside the car; she looks at Mike’s slumped body.
SARAH
KITT what’s happening?
KITT (O.S.)
Mike’s heart has stopped I will attempted to reestablish a sinus rhythm.
INT KITT DAY
KITT shocks Mike with no effect. He raises the voltage and tries again.
INT CARGO JET
A voice modulator pops up on Charles’ computer screen, he moves to his desk next to Sarah’s and sits down.
KITT (O.S)
I require human assistance….
FADE TO:
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
Same voice modulator appears on the large overhead screen.
KITT (O.S continued)
…I can only increase the oxygen levels in the cabin, however I am unable to make Mike breathe.
CARRIE
KITT keep trying we have a helicopter dispatched to your location it should rendezvous with you in less
that five minutes.
KITT (O.S)
A rendezvous will prove difficult considering we are being pursued, and they appear to be armed.
KITT brings up his rear camera on the large screen in FBI headquarters.
CARRIE
KITT can you loose them?
KITT (O.S.)
I have not been able. According to my calculations the only way to loose them effectively in order to
rendezvous with the helicopter would be to kill those following us. I of course am unable to go against my
programming and therefore can do no harm to human life.
DYLAN
(Whispering.) Just keep trying KITT.
Carrie sits down at her own computer and pushes a button which brings up Charles on her screen.
CARRIE
(Taking to the cargo plane) The rescue helicopter is over them now, but it can’t land.
INT CARGO JET
CHARLES
KITT is there anything you can think of to do?
KITT (O.S)
While chances of Mike’s survival at this point are slim. My programming indicates that I must keep trying. To continue shocking at this voltage will drain my power supply completely in less than twenty minutes. At that time I will be forced to shut down my systems and render my self vulnerable to our attackers.
CARRIE (O.S. in computer monitor)
Shall we have KITT abort and save himself?
SARAH
No! He’ll be okay! The drug went in right?... Right?
Sarah looks at her father and then sits back down at her own desk putting her face up to her computer screen still showing the inside of the car.
SARAH
Come on Mike!
INT FBI HEADQUARTERS
Carrie and Dylan exchange worried looks.
INT KITT DAY
Another shock hits Mike and he flinches awake.
MIKE
Ouch! Knock it off!
Mike screams angrily at the car.
INT CARGO JET
SARAH
Mike!
Sarah’s eyes well up with tears.
INT KITT DAY
KITT
I am sorry Mike but in this situation pain was an unavoidable outcome.
MIKE
(Groans) Uhh, where are we.
KITT
I’m afraid our situation in grim Mike. There is a helicopter above us that is ready to assist you but I am
afraid that it cannot land due to the presence of a hostile force behind us. I furthermore calculate that I
only have twenty two minutes of power remaining.
MIKE
(Smiles groggily.) You’re stuck aren’t you buddy?
KITT
Yes, I am unable to calculate a way out of this situation.
MIKE
Need some help don’t ya? …..That’s what I thought.
MIKE weakly reaches over the center console with his foot and slams on the break forcing the SUV behind to slam into them. MIKE fades back into unconsciousness as the helicopter lands in front of them and the paramedics rush to his aid.
The end? Or is it? If you want to know what happens next let me know.
