Authors note: I know this seems weird that I have posted several episodes before releasing the episode/movie that introduces all of my characters and beginning story of my episodes. The thought to this episode has been in my head for quite some time but I have been stuck on one part but I think I have finally figured that part out. Oh if any body who reads my episodes or pilot movie has any connections to nbc or any other network please message me. This episode/movie will be a two hour thing so expect it to be a long episode with a lot of detail. The words in bold will be locations, and time. The words in italics will be people's thoughts and Kitt's lines. Note I do not own knight rider or any of the characters I'm using except maybe one or two. Knight rider belongs to Glen A. Larson, Gary Scott Thompson and universal studios/NBC. If I did own knight rider it probably still be on the air if I did. Also note that this pilot movie is rated T for teen for some cussing and violence. My pilot episode/movie take place around February 2008. I have gotten good feedback about my episodes from people so without further ado here is my pilot episode.
Southern California, Blackriver corporation hq, 12:00, 2/12/08A man in his late thirty's exited out of his Red Audi TT and and walked into the the into the building in in front of him. The man was dressed in a black business suit and was carrying a rather large metal briefcase on his right side. He was a pretty fit but skinny man at the same time. He pushed the glass door open while texting his wife. He went up to the desk in the front where a fat security guard sat. He flashed his personal company badge at the guard. The guard gave him a key card from the drawer of his desk. The card read visitor the man took it then pocketed it into his pants and walked toward the elevator on the right side of the guard's desk. He pushed the button for the elevator. The elevator doors opened about ten seconds later. He walked into the elevator and pushed for floor 75. The elevator music played while he waited. While waiting he open the briefcase and made sure he had everything in there. The elevator finally reached the 75th floor and he snaped the briefcase shut. He exited out the elevator and walked down the hall. He turned to the second door on the right and opened it to find a room that had people and by the looks on their faces it looked like they were waiting on him. The room looked like a plain meeting room white boards on all four walls and a big oak roundtable in the middle that had projector and a laptop on the desk. Around the desks were 12 people who talking amongst themselves about various things.
"Sorry im late folks but I had trouble getting here." the man said as he took took his seat the back end of the table. He opened his brief case and pulled out a flash drive and some papers.
"Whatever James now that your here we can start this meeting. I'll hand the floor over to you and you can explain to us what your boss wants." said a stout little man in a blue business suit.
James grabbed some papers and his flash drive and walked over to the computer in the front end of the room. He inserted the flash drive into the computer and waited until it loaded before speaking. " I'll let the video on this flash drive do the talking for me." He used the mouse connected to the laptop to open his boss's video on the flash drive. While waiting for the video to load on the laptop and the projector he cut off all the lights and stood in a corner of the room.
In the front of the room the projector started playing a video. On the video a black military sergeant appeared before them. "My name Major Michaels and I have a proposition for you ladies and gentlemen of the Blackriver Corporation. I need a team of specifically trained men in certain fields to kidnap a man. The man I am referring to is Grainman. He is a brilliant scientist working in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. The reason why I need him kidnapped is that when he was working with the military he created a program called Prometheus. This helped us guide missiles into zones that had the least causalities and help saved lives. Well someone in the military decided to tamper with the program and reprogrammed it for their own needs umm a certain general who should not be named. After that little incident Dr. Grainman decided to leave the military and after he left the whole project was scrapped. I'm trying to get that program up and running again. I have been trying to reach but to no avail he has ignored my calls and emails. I can't get the program to run apparently without Dr. Grainman's code the program wont work. I have hired the best hackers to break the code but still no luck. I would send military men to get him but he some working as guards for him. That's where your company comes in I know your company hires mercenaries and ex military people. I need a team with military experience and one hacker to capture him. My personal assistant James will give you everything you need to know about him. I'm offering a 20 million dollar bounty for Dr. Grainman's capture and remember I need him alive".
James turn on the lights when the video ended. He walked around the room handing each person a portfolio. "In the file I just handed to you has everything you need to know about Charles Grainman. His past work blue prints of his house, his friends, etc "he said as he stood in front of the meeting room.
The women and men where flipping through the pages of the manuscript in front of them. Then one woman spoke "What is this knight industries two thousand" as she said eyeing the page with intense concentration.
James spoke rather proudly" Well the military isn't completely sure about that part of Dr. Grainman's life but he did once work for Wilton knight. And rumor has it that Wilton Knight created an advanced artificial intelligence in the 1980's. And helped Wilton knight build the artificial intelligence. In his resume he stated that he helped built the first artificial intelligence ever. The military believes that he is working on building another artificial intelligence. I don't have much on the knight industries two thousand other than the artificial intelligence and the car part. "
Everyone of the board members were listening intently to this story. They were all thinking the same thing. We can steal the artificial intelligence and sell it to the highest bidder. Then the people around the table were quietly speaking to one another. After a few minutes of talk. The little stout man in the blue business suit spoke up first "Tell the Major that we will have a team ready within a week."
James then popped out his blackberry from his blazer and speed dialed the major." Everything's good to go major" He then pocketed his phone and returned to the people around the room saying "Thank you for accepting our offer and for your time. He walked over to the laptop and took out the flash drive and put everything back in his metal briefcase and walked out of the room.
