Knight Rider Season Two •

Simpson, one of Cameron Zachary’s men, spots Michael busting one of their associates. Simpson tells Cameron that he just spotted Michael Long, although his face is different. Cameron has Long tracked and has Gina Adams arrange a meeting with him. She tells a story of how a major toy company has stolen the schematics for a talking bear she designed. Michael returns to the semi and is told by Devon that Michael Long’s grave was robbed and they believe Cameron Zachary was involved. Devon then tells Michael that Cameron wants him killed because he was involved with Tanya Walker and blames Michael for her death. Cameron catches Michael and forces him to put K.I.T.T. in a truck and shut him down, leaving Michael defenseless as he spars against Cameron.

Commentary:

A great episode explaining more of Michael Long’s past. Cameron Zachary sets Michael up once he realizes that Long did not die and is now living as Michael Knight. Zachary goes so far as to rob his grave to confirm Michael’s identity. He also realizes that Wilton succeeded in building K.I.T.T. and sets his sights on both of them, forcing Michael to hand over K.I.T.T. or he would kill Gina. An incredible turbo boost into the fourth story floor to get Zachary closes up a well written episode full of excitement. Notes:

In the script, Zachary confronts Michael with details of his old life in order to obtain K.I.T.T. His uncle lived at 410 Chesapeake Road, while his niece attended the Burnley school; his old police sergeant was named Charlie Hart.

Trivia:

John Vernon returns in “Voo Doo Knight;” Robert O’Reilly is back in “KITTnap;” and Rosalind Ingledew guest stars in “Knight Behind Bars.”
