The Foundation receives a strange phone call from a migrant worker at a wrecking yard who claims the owner is exploiting illegal immigrants as slave labor, and who murdered one who opposed him. Strock feigns ignorance and there is no evidence to bring him in. The next morning, Devon and the police raid the facility, but find it empty. He believes the facility is a front for the sale of illegal weapons, and the money is being funneled to Ebersol. Michael sneaks into the surplus yard and finds the helicopter. Devon informs Michael that the schematics are for a rocket called the "Sledgehammer", which is the main armament for an experimental helicopter known as the "SX411". KITT determines the car was destroyed by a rocket fired from the air. In a ravine near the facility, Michael finds the gruesome remains of Amelia's burned out car. Strock is also involved in funding a re-election campaign for Congressman Albert Ebersol. Michael and Camela, Amelia's daughter, search for clues in her mother's personal files and discover a diagram of a weapon guidance computer and photos of an army surplus yard owned by a man named Strock ( Dana Elcar). Michael goes to Phoenix to investigate the disappearance of Amelia Clermont, a private investigator and a former love interest of Devon. Now McCord must prove himself to his daughter and help Michael bring Fenton down, find the bomb with only minutes left before detonation. By the time Fenton was released, he found Rachel and McCord had married and was furious. Once McCord is found, he confronts Lisa and claims his innocence, saying Fenton murdered Rachel, who had also been Fenton's lover for a time before the mobster was sent to prison. Michael goes looking for McCord and his only lead is his estranged daughter, Lisa, who refuses to even speak to her father believing he murdered her mother Rachel. Fenton threatens to explode a powerful bomb hidden somewhere in the city if McCord is not handed over, but McCord manages to get away when Hunt's officers drop him off for Fenton's thugs. Police investigator Philip Hunt ( Tim O'Connor), however, wants him released so he can draw out a former mob boss, Eric Fenton, who has a personal vendetta against McCord. Michael infiltrates a maximum security prison to spring a convict named Peter McCord, who is terrified to leave the big house, and even turns down his parole. David Hasselhoff plays both Michael and Garthe Knight in a dual role.Originally shown as a feature-length episode, but was later cut into two separate episodes in syndication.Back inside KITT, Michael chases down Garthe to confront him in a final showdown before Kuna can take possession of the weapons. Michael isn't finished yet, and has KITT cause a disturbance so he can slip away. A squad of Kuna's soldiers then load the missiles into Goliath's trailer. In the meantime, Garthe manages to escape and rushes to stop Michael before he can plant a bomb on Goliath. Michael then poses as Garthe to fetch Rita from the casino, and intercept Goliath before General Kuna uses it to break into Red Bluff. In anger, Garthe chases Michael down in his Mercedes, but Michael lures him into a trap where Devon and April hold him hostage.

April repairs KITT and installs a powerful laser weapon which may give him an edge against Goliath. Goliath easily clobbers KITT in a collision that nearly destroys him. Garthe shows Michael just how unstoppable Goliath is, when he lures Michael to a dry lake for a showdown. Just how Garthe intends on getting the missiles out of the highly guarded facility isn't certain that is until Michael comes face-to-face with a massive semi truck known as "Goliath" which is protected with the same indestructible molecular bonded shell technology as KITT. When Michael learns Garthe is secretly meeting with an African military general named Tsombe Kuna, the pieces come together. Red Bluff currently holds a collection of tactical missiles which would be dangerous in the wrong hands, especially a third world nation. Michael uncovers her brother's audio tapes containing information on a place known as "Red Bluff", a classified weapons storage facility deep in the Nevada desert. Things get more complicated when Michael learns Rita is also involved with Garthe, and her brother was conducting some kind of investigation on him. He's managed to escape from an African prison and has settled in Las Vegas. Michael is shocked to learn of the existence of Wilton & Elizabeth's son, Garthe, who is plotting with his mother to steal the formula for KITT's molecular bonded shell. Elsewhere, Devon has a meeting with Elizabeth Knight, Wilton Knights widow, who remains involved with funding the Foundation, although Devon distrusts her motives. Michael goes to Las Vegas to help a woman named Rita Wilcox, whose brother has gone missing.
