“Knight of the Phoenix (Part 1)” · Season 1, Episode 1

In this episode: Devon (2), Michael (1)

(On the bed, Michael is stirring restlessly, has flashbacks of being shot by Tanya, and Muntzy being shot, mumbles)

WKWilton Knight

That's alright, son. Keep hurting, it'll keep you living, just like me.

(Michael is jogging on the estate grounds, Wilton and Devon look on)

What have you told him?

WWilton

I've told him he no longer has anyone to fear. In the eyes of the law, Michael Long is legally dead and we haven't done anything wrong.

Wilton, stealing a body from the medical school so that the police can find it is hardly what I would call playing by the rules.

WWilton

I make my own rules. So does the government, they fake deaths and identities all the time. Not to mention our adversary.

All right. But why are you doing it?

WWilton

I think you know why, Devon. I want to leave something behind me. Something worthwhile, not just a lot of numbers in a bank account. Now, when will the Knight 2000 be ready?

Soon. I have the crews working double shifts.

WWilton

Make it around the clock. I want it done, I want it done within the next 48 hours.

48 hours? Wilton, has the doctor said that...

WWilton

Don't you worry about what the good doctor has told me. I'll worry about the doctors, and Michael Long.

(Michael and Devon arrive at Wilton's deathbed)

WWesley

You better hurry.

(Michael and Devon enter the room)

We're too late.

WWilton

(Opens his eyes, smiles) Almost. What kept you? Car not fast enough?

(Chuckles) Look, you gotta put that thing on the market, could save thousands of lives.

WWilton

Have it taken away from me, kept off the market, like they did my airpl-- (coughs badly) airplane?

Don't try to talk, I'll explain everything. (To Michael) Mr. Knight is the last of his breed. He built his own empire, just as the Fords and the Rockefellers did.

Devon, we've been all through this.

(Wilton's last words)

WWilton

All right. Michael, come closer. (Michael obeys) You were spared to lead a great fight. Don't turn away in fear. One man can...make a difference, and you are going to be that man.

Mr. Knight, I'd like to be able to promise you that I feel like I could take on the world someday, but I can't. I still wake up in the middle of the night shaking, (flashback to Tanya Walker shooting Michael), remembering that gun in my face and the whole world blowing up.

WWilton

Remember that moment. Think of it as your baptism by fire. (Extends his hand, Michael takes it) My adventure has ended, yours has just... just begun.
