Several Mexican workers at a car junkyard have been getting a raw deal from their employer, Louis Gastner. Gastner has been bringing the men from their native country to the US and working them overtime - only the workers have to pay interest on all their wages, making them virtually poor. One of the workers, Alfredo Diaz, calls Devon to alert him to this and Gastner's other illegal dealings. Learning of Diaz's deal, Gastner has his men try and kill Diaz as he makes the evidence exchange - near KITT in a parking lot - only the men shoot the wrong person, John Rodie. Rodie's close friend, Julie Robinson, helps Michael try and find Diaz himself, though she didn't see anything - she's blind. Michael and Julie eventually get the two men arrested, but they are quickly bailed out by Gastner, who kidnaps Julie. Michael rallies the workers at the junkyard to fight back against Gastner while he tries to save Julie. In the end, Gastner is arrested, the workers get work in the states, and Julie takes one last "drive" in KITT.
THOUGHTS: -Nice episode. Elyssa Davalos does a nice job as Julie Robinson, slipping little one-liners in from time to time.
-Fun stuff with the cop throughout the episode!
New feature on KITT: +Not a new feature, but in this episode KITT turbo boosts from a stationary position to an angular jump. This is the first time this happens.
FAVORITE QUOTE: "Somebody's...under arrest!" -The cop, after blind Julie and jogger Michael stop Dudley and Mills.
NITS: -On the replay of KITT's video recorder, how did KITT get those pictures of John's car if the car was blocked off by the other cars in the parking lot?
-When Michael first drives KITT into the junkyard, the mode indicators under KITT's voicemod are blank. At this point, "normal cruise" should be lit up.
-When Julie is in the park "driving" KITT away from Dudley, a shot shows KITT switching gears from park to drive, when KITT should already be on drive.
-After the bad guys put Michael into KITT and try to crush him, why couldn't KITT tell that Michael was unconscious?
-KITT is flat on the turbo boost out of the compactor (what's really strange is that one of the shots shows that KITT has the normal parts underneath, then it switches to the jump and the bottom of KITT is flat).
-When Julie prepares to "drive" KITT at the end, one of the shots of KITT is from season 1 (KITT's voicemod is blank red, where now it's 3 red bars).
