04x14 - Dukescam Scam

Post by bunniefuu »

Once a month, Uncle Jesse's
gotta make the mortgage payment

on the farm at Boss
Hogg's bank on time.

And accordin' to
Boss' small friend

on time means to the minute.

'Course the only grace Boss
ever gives is at meal time.

By then he's usually
had a bite or two.

So all the Dukes are
tearing up the roads

just trying to be on time.

And headed out of town on
the same road as Emery Potter.

Part time registrar
at the city hall

and chief teller at
Boss Hoggs bank.

Where Emery should be now.

Now, Emery ain't the
best driver in the world.

Bo, you better watch that.
This guy is coming toward us.

'Looks like he wants
both sides of the road.'

I'll be, that was sweet
little ol' Emery Potter

driving like he's half crazy.

I can't believe it. He generally
walks faster than he drives.

He must be in some trouble.
We best go see what's wrong.

Yeah. Just hold it, just hold
it. We'll do no such thing.

This mortgage payment
was due at midnight last night

which means it's gotta be there
when the bank opens this morning

which is in three minutes.
We're not gonna make it.

Uncle, will you relax?

We're gonna get there
with a minute to spare.

With Bo at the wheel, I
figured Jesse's gonna have

a couple of minutes
to spare, don't you?

'Now there you go,
Mr. Derfus. That should do it.'

Mornin', Rosco. Now,
I'll be right with ya.

- I gotta put this in the vault.
- Oh. I appreciate that.

- Good morning, Rosco.
- Good morning..

- Pay day already again, huh?
- Yeah.

sh**t! Is that all
Boss pays you, Rosco?

Will you hush?

Boss pays me just fine.

Before taxes, he...

Oh, the money. The money's gone.

- We've been robbed.
- Oh, no.

Listen, what, who'd come
in here and rob the bank

with a sheriff here? I've
been here since the opening.

Well, all those cash
boxes is empty, sheriff.

And there was bill when I
put 'em in there last night.

- Was anybody there since?
- Just Boss Hogg, this morning.

He went in with a suitcase,
came out and left even quicker.

Oh, well, there's Boss
Hogg now. Ask him yourself.

- 'He's carrying a suitcase.'
- 'You scalawag.'

'Don't go jumpin 'to conclusion
that Boss Hogg would steal'

from the good
citizens of Hazzard.

You better have a good
reason for not wanting

to look in that suitcase
he's loading there.

- 'You mean right now?'
- 'Yes.'

'You're still a sheriff, right?'

Rosco, Let's go
get him ourselves.

Here's my payment, Laverne.

W-wait a minute here.

Give me a hand.

I'm the one who says
"Let's get 'em". Wait for me.

Now, would you just
look, the Dukes and Rosco

in hot pursuit of Boss Hogg.

I knew a fellow who owned
a rabbit that chased hounds.

Mean.

You gotta remember
that Boss Hogg

was an old ridge runner
before he got fat and prosperous.

And he can handle a car..

So long as it's ain't
one of them foreign jobs.

Boss would have to grease
up to fit in one of them.

Alright, Rosco. We
take him on the right.

You take him on the left.

'My right, or your left?'

'A-ah. Just forget it.'

Rosco always did have trouble
between his left and his right.

'Watch it.'

'Rosco. You douche!'

'What in tarnation
is going on here?'

'Whyyou Dukes
driving like this?'

Rosco, thank goodness
you're on the job.

Look, I want you to arrest
them Dukes for reckless driving.

It's not them, I'm arresting.
I'm arresting you, Boss.

- Alright go put...
- Me?

Yeah. Put your fat chubby little
hands on the hood of my vehicle.

Go on, go on. I'm serious.

Yeah. Well, you must've
been drinking berry wine again.

'Why on earth would
you want to arrest me for?'

- Just open that suitcase.
- Well, I will not.

Yes, you will.

- Alright, alright.
- Open it.

- Alright, I'll open it.
- Let's see what's in there.

Look at that.

There ain't nothing
in there but clothes.

Which is what a man
usually takes when he goes

on an overnight business trip.

You satisfied now,
you knucklehead?

It doesn't make any difference
'cause I'm arresting you anyway.

- Wait a minute.
- Will you hush?

Listen, I'm sorry. But as long
as I'm sheriff, I'm putting you

under arrest, until I
get to the bottom of this.

Now get in my car.

You Duke boys put the
prisoner's personal facts

in that suitcase, put it in
that vehicle and bring it.

Get in the backseat. I ain't
gonna mention no more.

- This I gotta see.
- I know.

- Get that stuff to the car.
- Yes, sir.

Rosco, I keep telling you.
You are making a big mistake.

I never took no
money from no bank.

Well, I'd like to believe you.

But I mean if you didn't
do it, then who did? Who?

I know. Emery. Emery Potter,
my chief teller. That's who.

I was wondering why he suddenly
up and quit early this morning.

Right out of a blue sky.

'I know, he's the one.'

Uh-uh, Rosco.

On our way into the town,
me and the boys, we..

We did see Emery Potter
leaving and he was in a big hurry.

Driving like crazy.

You hear that,
Rosco? You hear that?

You let me out, and
that's a direct order.

It don't make no difference,
you're not getting outta here

until you pay a $ , bail.

Ten thousand dollars?

'I can't get my hands on
full green like that right now.'

All my loose cash is
tied up in a land deal

I got going over
in Colonial City.

That's just tough, you're
gonna have to stay in here

till a circuit judge
comes here tomorrow.

'Listen, I'm terribly sorry.'

Jesse. Old friend. Um..

You wouldn't put up the bail
money for me now, would you?

Me?

$ , ?

'JD, you of all people know
I ain't got that kinda money'

to put up for bail for you,
even if I wanted to put it up.

Which I don't.

You got the money, Jesse.
I mean, there's your farm.

And the mortgage aside.
There's plenty of equity there.

That's collateral enough.

You must be a half bubble off.

No way Jesse's
gonna put up the farm.

- No, sir.
- 'Jesse.'

I'm asking you
for old time's sake.

I mean, old, old times.

'Like in ..'

at steel site number .

Got a good memory, JD.

That's askin' a lot.

But alright. I'll do it.

Rosco, you got a paper or
something for me to sign?

Well, oh, yeah. Right here.

- Uncle Jesse, look, you said..
- I know what I said.

- But this is different.
- No, it ain't different

It's Boss Hogg.
Nothing's different.

Just hush hush and hear me out.

See..

Forty five years ago, when
we was running shine together.

There'd come a day when
it was the other way around.

The revenuers arrested
me and threw me in jail.

Yeah, that's right.

And JD here, he could've turned
his back on me. But he didn't.

Mm-hm. That's right.

He sold his end of the shine
and used the money to get me

out of jail, which is what I'm
gonna do for him right now.

Now, Jesse.

You sure you wanna do this?

A debt's a debt.

Especially, if it's a Duke debt.

I'm sure.

'I owed you one, JD.'

This is it.

Come on, boys.

I'm sorry, Uncle Jesse. I..

I just can't help feeling
Boss is up to something.

I wish we could've
talked to Emery Potter

before you signed
that piece of paper.

Now just hold it a
minute. Both of you.

Do you think for one minute that
Emery Potter could have anything

to do with stealing
money from a bank?

- No, sir.
- I didn't think so.

Well, then, forget
about it. Let's go home.

Yes, sir.

Now, I smell something.

And it ain't down wind
from the outhouse.

- Rosco.
- What?

We've done it.

- We've done it?
- We've done it.

- We done it.
- We've done it.

- We done it.
- We've done it.

We scammed the Dukes.
We scammed the Dukes.

- The biggest scam of all time.
- I love it, I love it.

- Hey.
- What?

When I don't show up in court
tomorrow, the whole Duke farm

mule, plough and
goats, the whole shebang

is forfeited to the
bail bondsman.

- Namely you.
- Namely me.

Love it. I love it.

And then, all I gotta do,
after the judge leaves town

is show the good folks of
Hazzard that their money

is still safe and sound
right there in the bank vault

like it always was.

Bam.

Now, I gotta get started
on my hour hide-out.

Right.

You got everything all set up
out there just like I told you?

Are you kidding me? It's gonna
be a home away from home.

Oh, good, good.

Now remember, you bring
me all my meals on time.

- On time.
- Every three hours.

- On the dot.
- On the dot.

Starting out with a big
plate of my favorite, raw liver.

I got a craving for it, can't
get enough of it these days.

Rosco, I'm gonna
celebrate with raw liver.

With raw liver.

Raw liver. Yuck!

Breaker one. Might be
crazy, but I ain't dumb.

Crazy Cooter coming at you.

Anyhow, Dukes' home
on Hazzard net, come on.

We got you. Come back.

Didn't uncle Jesse just go
JD Hoggs bail on something?

'Ain't figured out why, but
you heard the story right.'

Well, I got some
bad news for you.

Boss, just snuck outta here
like a hound dog with his tail

'tween his legs
and he had his bags.

That tell anything?

It's good to know.
Much obliged, Cooter.

Stay close, we'll
get back to you.

Now that van's what
I call a smart hideout.

If ol' Boss don't like
where he's heading out

he can drive his hideout
to where he wants to be.

Why that low down,
dirty, contemptible...

Just hold on a
second, Uncle Jesse.

You really figure that
Boss means to jump bail?

I mean to find out whether
he's jumping bail or not.

Turn this car around.

- Uncle Jesse, would you...
- Turn it around!

Bo, watch the road.

That's Les Seymour's truck.
Ol' Les can't even drive nails.

It's getting so a fella can't
drive anywhere no more.

That was close.

Head on back to farm, cuz.

No, we're going in the
direction we're headed right now

which is back to town. Rosco's
got some explaining to do.

About JD leaving town
and it better be good.

- Now let's get back there.
- Yes, sir.

See, you don't have mange.
Lot of dogs have mange. If..

Ho-whoa!

Ah..

Oh. Hello, Bo. Luke, and Jesse.

I can tell by your silence that
you're upset about something.

Well, listen. You shouldn't
be. I mean, just take it easy.

Just-just take it easy.

Take it easy? When
my farm's at stake?

Rosco, it was your
sworn duty to instruct JD

and not let him leave
town till after the trial.

- Well, I-I..
- 'Don't wellme.'

Cooter saw JD leaving town
with all his suitcases packed.

That's right. Now he's gone
and jumped bail. Thanks to you.

Well, maybe he went on a picnic.

You know, picnics are nice.

Rosco. This ain't funny.

My farm's at stake.

Look. Will you all just
go about your business?

I haven't got time
for such piddly things.

I got more important
things to take care of.

More important things? I'll
give you something important..

I'll give you something
important to do at the hospital.

Let me loose. Let me at him.

Is he gone? Good thing, boy.

You would've torn him
limb from limb, wouldn't you?

Don't go to sleep.

- Just let me go.
- Alright.

Let me collect myself a minute.

- 'Can you believe him?'
- Just calm down, Uncle.

- Don't let him rattle ya.
- Don't let him rattle me?

- He's an idiot.
- I know that.

But what we gotta do
is find Boss ourselves.

And make sure he shows
up to that trial tomorrow.

But Boss knows the
county awful good.

Better get Cooter
and Daisy to help us.

Yeah, good idea.

Also, it's time somebody
talked to Emery Potter.

Come on. Let's get going.
We'll head over to Cooters'.

We've never seen you
that mad, Uncle Jesse.

- Hey, Cooter.
- 'Hey, y'all.'

And so, things
were put in motion

for the Dukes'
manhunt of Boss Hogg.

Friends, I wouldn't
want 'em after me.

Boss Hogg did what?

'He skipped town.'

Daisy was supposed
to pick up Cooter in town

and head out to the
Potter house to find Emery.

The boys and Jesse
would cover as many of

Boss' old moonshine sites
that Boss might be hiding out at.

There's no sign of Boss
near the old silver mine.

Where they just fixed the road.

And no sign of him at Dry Creek.

And there wasn't merely a
trace at Dead End Canyon.

Pretty tricky.

Using a camouflage net to
cover his portable hide out.

And Boss wasn't inside
the old Indian cave.

Uh... that wasn't Boss.

But it does sound a little
like his wife Lulu Hogg.

There ain't no sign of
JD at Meadow Falls, Luke.

Or at Claire Creek.

'Now, I'm gonna go on down
to Hidden Pines and check.'

Okay, Uncle Jesse.

We still got Chestnut Creek
and Chicken Hog road to cover.

Over and out.

- 'Luke, Bo, you out there?'
- Right here, Daisy.

We're at Emery's place. But
he ain't. Son says, he's fishing.

'That could be a dozen places.'

'Could be any of
two dozen places.'

There's Dry River Creek,
that is, if the creek ain't dry.

There's Catfish creek and
he could be in any one of 'em.

And there's Hard Labor
Creek, and Catfish Creek.

We'll check out as many
places as we can. Over and out.

And there's Corn Cob Creek,
and the Stink water river and..

There's Yellow
River and there's..

Right now, it's
Boss we gotta find.

This is one time he
hid himself real good.

I don't understand,
how somebody that fat

could hide a stomach that big.

I'd give anything to see
that white belly poking out.

Yeah, Boss can eat more than
any two people I've ever seen.

Hey, that's it.

Wherever he's at,
he's gotta eat, don't he?

Yeah.

In a situation like
this, with him hid out

who's most likely gonna
be spoon feedin' him?

Rosco P Coltrane.

I'll be right back,
Flash. Oh, good, good.

Now Luke's plan
was plain and simple.

He'd follow Rosco
and General Lee.

But just in case Luke was
spotted by Rosco and lost him

well, good old Bo
would be right there

when Rosco joined
Boss at his hideout.

I don't want you to say a
word to Rosco, you hear me?

Good stuff. Good stuff.

Flash, would you git?

'What?'

What'd you say, Flash?

There for a minute, I thought
you were a backseat driver.

Flash, I'm a little confused.

Is that North on Mill
road, or is that South?

Dang!

O-oh! There's the Dukes.

We gotta loose 'em or the Boss
gonna have our hides for sure.

Come on.

We knows to drive good. Who
said we couldn't out-rode the Dukes?

It's eating time.

Good girl, Flash.

Boss? Boss? Is that
three knocks and then two

or is it two knocks
and then three?

- 'Who's there?'
- It's Rosco.

- 'It's three then two.'
- Oh, yes it is.

Oh, never mind now.
Never mind. Come on in.

Oh, good news, good news.

'Good things to chomp on.'

'I'm starved for my raw liver.'

- 'Turkey' - 'Yeah, well.'

'You brought turkey?'

I told you to bring raw liver.

- What's all this?
- That's the best they could do.

Yeah? Look at this. You've
already been nibbling on it too.

Just a little. It's
good. Good, I tell you.

- You know what that looks like?
- What?

- It looks like a fat Boss Hogg.
- Oh, come on, now.

'It looks like I'm gonna have
to eat the turkey instead.'

'And you keep your hands off.'

'You ain't getting any of this.
You just stand over there.'

Luke, this is Bo.
You got your ears on?

Yeah, I'm here, cuz. Feeling
pretty silly about losing you.

I'll tell you that
much. Where you at?

Well... far as I
can tell, I'm at the..

Cut off near Rim Fire Gully.

'They're next to me, so when
you come, come in slow and easy.'

I'm on my way.

Where's he at?

He's up in the van
behind them trees.

You sure Boss is in there?

I didn't see him, but I
did hear Rosco giggling.

You know you can't
mistake that giggle nowhere.

I wanna be sure. You don't want
him nailing us for trespassing.

- That's true.
- 'Too late you already are.'

Freeze.

And that "Freeze" is the sound
of the Dukes farm being lost.

Did you just see? I got
you. You can't outsmart me.

- See how good I am?
- What are you gloatin' about?

You let these two boys
follow you, didn't you?

Don't you blame him. We didn't
follow him. We followed you.

- Me?
- Naughty, naughty.

This mean you ain't
showing up at the trial?

Maybe.

You snookered Uncle Jesse
into puttin' up our farm as bail?

'Could be.'

If you don't show up,
you keep the farm, right?

Looks like it, don't it?

I suppose you sent Emery
off somewhere so it'll look like

'he took the money.'

You boys got the
whole picture, ain't you?

Yeah. And don't try
to find Potter neither.

'Cause you can't find him
down at old Hoopy Pond.

- 'No matter how good you look.'
- Rosco!

- What?
- You told them where he is.

No, I didn't. I didn't even
mention your fishing cottage.

A-ah! N-not another word.

'Thanks to you
they know too much.'

Take 'em and book
'em for trespassing

and put them in jail
till the trial's over.

Alright, get over and put your
hands on that patrol car. Go on.

We'll mess with you.

Listen Boss, now
what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna have to drive my
hideout to another hideout.

And when I get there, I'll
let you know where I am.

So you can bring me
another tray of food.

Only this time, make
sure you bring my favorite.

Raw Liver.

That's right.

Alright, come on. What
are you waiting for?

Get these boys off, will you?

Alright now, Dukes.

Get back in there, and get
in the back seat of that car.

Rosco, what make you
think we're gonna do that?

'Cause I'm gonna make you do it.

Now get in the back seat.
I'm not kidding with you.

Rosco, we'll help
you outta here.

Hold on.

There you go, we got you
started now. It's all yours.

If you calm down you'll
get yourself out in an hour.

'Freeze. Freeze.'

'Freeze. Freeze.'

Freeze!

That's Bill, he's so steady
that he can lay down

a paint line on a gravel
road and it would last.

Hazzard County had to float
a barn to get that cleaned.

Alright, this here's
where we lose Rosco.

Bingo.

Move it, Flash.

They pulled that "disappearing
into thin air" act on us again.

Boss ain't gonna like this.
Ain't gonna like this one bit.

- Lord knows where Boss is now.
- We can forget about him now.

We gotta get Emery
Potter to that trial.

Well, right now, Boss
ain't standing. He's hiding.

And it ain't behind Hazzard.

It's behind that billboard.

Oh, Rosco. Ain't you something?

You finally rustled me
up my favorite, raw liver.

It sure is good news.

Well, that is good news.
But I got a little bad news.

Don't tell me them Duke
boys never went to jail.

- They didn't get to jail.
- I knew it.

But, Boss, it wasn't
really all my fault, see..

They just seemed to
disappear in thin air.

One minute they were there and
another minute and they... poof.

They were gone.

I wish I could say "poof"
and find you gone, dodo.

- Emery. Emery Potter.
- Oh. I'll let him in.

- Not here, lamebrain. There.
- Oh. Where?

At my fishing cottage,
over on the Hoopy Pond.

Thanks to you spilling the beans

that's the first place them
Duke boys are gonna head for.

- Oh, that's right.
- 'Yeah.'

Emery.

Emery Potter.

Emery Potter!

'This is JD Hogg
calling Emery Potter.'

Yes sir, Mr. Hogg?

'Come in, come in, Emery.'

Say hello from Rosco.

Well, he ain't come on yet.

You got your ears
on out there, Emery?

This is Emery,
Mr. Hogg. You want me?

That's why I called you, Emery.

'Now, look.'

Them Duke boys, they
maybe headed there to see you

and I don't want
'em to. You got it?

Why not, Mr. Hogg?
They're nice boys.

Never you mind how nice
they are. You just listen.

Now, I'm the one who pays your
salary, which you're gonna lose

unless you find a hideout away
from that cottage long enough

until you make sure them
Duke boys don't see you.

- You got that?
- Yes, sir, Mr. Hogg.

Bye.

- Well, that's that, Rosco.
- 'That's it.'

Now, I can really celebrate.

Celebrate.

Oh, my! Oh, my!

In just a little while,
Judge Buford Potts

is gonna call up
my case in court.

'And then, guess what?'

You won't... be there.

'I ain't gonna be there'.

And then, ten minutes later..

The Duke farm will
be ours by default.

The Duke farm will
be mine by default.

Yeah, yeah. Well,
of course, I may just..

Find something for you.

I don't know may be,
um, tenth of an acre.

Boss, what could I grow
on a tenth of an acre.

Well, I don't know.

But whatever it is, it
better grow straight up.

Or it'd be trespassing
on my land.

You're sure you
don't want any of this?

- It's pretty good.
- 'No, no.'

- Take some.
- Boss, that's alive.

I know it.

Aah! Hmm!

'Yee-haw!'

- Emery!
- Emery!

Emery! Emery
Potter, you in there?

- Emery!
- You see anything, Bo?

Yeah, he's got some
coffee on the stove.

Burner's going and he's got
clothes hangin' in the back.

The car's still here.

Must mean he's out there
on that lake somewhere.

We best go find him.

A pond that size, it could
take hours to find him.

We got just enough time
to get back in the town

meet Uncle Jesse
for court convenes.

We ought to be there.

Let's go.

You drive.

'Yaa-hoo!'

There's one fish story,
he ain't gonna brag about.

Here ye, here ye. Circuit
court of Hazzard County

is now in session.

Honorable Buford
P Potts presiding.

I'm ready to hear the case of

the State versus
Jefferson Davis Hogg

'on charge of embezzlement.'

Where is JD Hogg, sheriff?

Oh, um, Your
Honor, he's not here.

You know that little weasel
just took off and jumped bail.

And you what the
bail was, don't you?

It's Jesse Dukes'
farm, eh, collateral.

Your Honor, this whole
thing about bail and collateral

it's-it's just some scheme
that Boss worked up

to get his hands
on my uncle's farm.

Simmer down, son.
You're outta order.

Here ye, here ye. Simmer
down, son. You're outta order.

Yes, sir.

'Thank you, bailiff.'

Now, first off, I'm
issuing a warrant

for the arrest of JD
Hogg for not showing up.

Oh, uh, what about the bail?

I'll get to the bail,
sheriff, if you let me finish.

'And I'll be back in a
week to hear this case'

if you catch him.

- Now, about the bail.
- Uh, it's forfeited, right?

- Shut up, Sheriff!
- Shut up, Rosco!

Cletus, just because
you're the bailiff

don't give you that
right to call me Rosco

and tell me to shut up.

Well, I got the right,
sheriff. And I said shut up.

O-oh, that's different.

Now, Mr. Duke, I'm sorry,
but the law is the law.

And JD Hogg, not showing
up for this hearing forces me

to forfeit the bail
you put up for him.

Oh, no, sir, you
can't take our farm.

- It's all we got.
- Sit down, son.

Yes, sir.

But that's the law.

And the law is all I got.

Now, look here, judge. We..

Now, Cooter,
Cooter. Just sit down.

It's my fault for trusting
JD in the first place.

- Court is adjourned.
- Court's adjourned!

Cletus, one of these
days, I'm gonna adjourn you

upside the head, you dipstick!

Well, let's go home and..

Start packing.

Where are we gonna go?

Where are we gonna live
without that farm, Uncle Jesse?

I don't know, girl.

I just don't know, girl.

Y'all welcome to stay out at
my place as long as you like.

- Much obliged, Cooter.
- Yeah, thanks a lot, buddy.

You know, it's funny.

After all these years..

And it finally comes down to it

JD turns out to be..

The winner.

- Cooter!
- 'Yes, sir.'

- Go, get Rosco.
- Yes, sir.

JD, where was you when
the trial was a-going?

I, well, what in tarnation
are you talking about, Jesse?

You mean, I missed the trial?

So I did. Oh, ain't
that a shame?

That's right. Thanks
to you, we lost our farm.

You got some pretty low
things in your time, Boss.

We might've lost that farm.

That judge did issue a
warrant for your arrest.

Now, boys, boys.
Just, just be calm.

JD, like Luke says here,
we did lose the farm.

But we're gonna be happy
to see you rot away in jail

for stealing the
money from that bank.

Rosco, you heard
the judge. Arrest him.

- Ooh!
- Hold on! Hold on!

- There ain't been no crime.
- No.

I mean, I never took no bank
money. And I can prove it.

- Ain't that right, Rosco?
- That's right, that's right.

Where's the money
you stole from that bank?

Where bank money belongs, Jesse.

- Right in the bank vault.
- Yeah.

Tucked away so nice, even
Ms. Laverne couldn't find it.

- Ain't that right?
- She couldn't find it.

And if you don't
believe me, come on.

- Follow me and I'll show you.
- Follow us.

The money is right in
there, safe and sound.

Just follow me if you
still don't believe me.

'Alright. Get back here.'

Just come along and I'll
show you, with your own eyes.

Now, we usually
keep our cash money

on this side of this
thing. Right there.

Ms. Laverne's been getting
it right over there for years.

What I did was, I moved
it all over to this side.

And there it's still
yours, every penny.

Stay back here.

I don't want you... oh!

Don't close the door!

- Rosco!
- What?

Look, what you did?
You closed the dang vault.

Really..

Don't... you..

Laverne, looks like Rosco locked

Uncle Jesse and
Boss in the vault.

You mind opening it up for us?

Oh, my lord!

I don't know the combination
and it's on a time lock.

That's great. Now
we're gonna have to wait.

- Thanks a lot, Rosco.
- Well..

It'll be too late by then, Bo.

When that vault door is
shut, there ain't no more than

an hour's worth
of air left in there.

Forget the air, friends,
I don't figure Boss could

last that long without eating.

Are you kiddin', lady?

You mean, there is only
sixty minutes of air in there?

No, Rosco, you're wrong,
there's only fifty-eight minutes left.

- Will you hush?
- And what are we gonna do?

'Everybody outside. Rosco!'

Look at the monitor, I
hope you're looking at it.

'Cause I'm gonna give
you the combination.

- 'Hey, look!'
- 'What?'

What's Boss tryin' to tell us?

I think he's tryin' to
tell us the combination.

That's-that's three to..

- No, it's five to the right.
- Yeah, right.

sh**t, I don't think he
remembers what it is.

'Now, just calm down, J.'

I'm making a clean slate.
Now just start all over.

But I can't, Jesse, I
can't. I just can't because..

My mind's so swimmy headed
from being locked up in here.

There's all 'em
numbers just twisting

and tumbling all around. I
can't remember one of 'em.

Relax, JD.

'Oh, Rosco.'

What we ought to do is
get a bag full of dynamite

- And blow this shocker open.
- Yeah!

There ain't enough dynamite
in Hazzard to blow that.

There must be ten
inches of steel there.

I got me a half power
drill, says I can get in there.

That'd take too
long, we've only got..

sh**t! We only
got fifty-minutes left.

'Is there anybody else who knows
the combination of that vault?'

'Oh, just Boss
Hogg, Luke, sorry.'

No, wait! Emery.

- Emery Potter, he knows it.
- Whoo!

sh**t! Emery's over
to Hoopy Pond, ain't he?

Means we got some
heavy driving, Duke.

- C'mon, hurry.
- Go.

I authorize you to break
every law in the book.

Five... to the right.

No, it ain't it. It ain't it

I can't do it. I
forgot everything.

That's a good idea,
JD, I tell you what..

We'll just sit down
here and relax.

You try to think
of them numbers.

Yeah.

Jesse.

I got some bad news for you.

What with that door
shut tight like that

'we only got enough air
left for forty-six minutes.'

And then..

It's curtains.

Hi, Laverne, uh, I'd
like to cash what's left

of my paycheck, please.

Why are Cousin Boss and
Uncle Jesse on the news?

Cletus, you dipstick,
they're not on the news.

They're-they're in the vault.

- Three-four-five-four, um.
- Relax, relax, JD.

You're not going to
think of it. Just relax.

I guess, I ain't, Jesse.

I'm afraid we're doomed.

We doomed!

We're gonna get out of here.

I know them boys of
mine. They'll get us out.

You just gotta keep the faith.

Yeah, well, they
better hurry up, Jesse.

We only got
thirty-nine minutes left

till we meet our maker.

JD, we got forty-one minutes.

Here we are in our last
hours and you're trying

to cheat me outta two minutes.

Sorry. Force of habit.

'Can you imagine that,
them giggling and laughing?'

Forty minutes to live
and they're laughing.

That's brave.

We're almost there.

'Oh, mate! It's the Duke boys.'

And Emery remembered
what Boss said.

You let them Duke boys
find you and you're fired.

Wasn't about to be found.

- Ain't that Emery?
- Yep.

What in tarnation to think
Emery is running away from us?

I don't know, but
he must be scared.

He don't drive
that fast usually.

Hey, Emery, you
got your ears on?

Emery Potter, this is Luke Duke
right behind you. Come back.

Emery, this here is Luke.

I ain't sure whether
you can hear me or not

but if you can, listen up,
this is an emergency, Emery.

I'm truly sorry, Luke,
but I can't talk to you.

Boss Hogg said I'd
lose my job, if I do.

Look, we don't
care about that now.

We need your help. You
got to open up the bank vault.

Boss Hogg and Uncle
Jesse are locked in there.

Ah! Wh..

Come on, Emery.

The boys explained the
facts to old Emery pretty fast.

With there being
only twenty minutes

of air left in that vault.

Besides, that mean Emery
didn't have to eat no more fish.

In it, Bo.

- Get in here, Emery.
- I'm trying.

Come on, Emery.

Are you sure you
remember the combination?

I sure do.

Twelve to the
right, ten to the left

and seven to the right.

- Just don't forget it, alright?
- I won't, I won't.

I really am truly sorry, Jesse..

That I pulled off this
phony bank robbery

so I could get your
farm by jumping bail.

Can you forgive me for that?

I like to wring
your neck for that.

I'm too weak.

I guess I have to forgive you.

You're a good man, Jesse.

to the right,
- - to the left

seven to the right.

Alright, Emery, hold on.

Whoa!

I think he ought to
take up skeet ball.

- You still remember?
- Ah, yeah.

What is it? Keep running.

Well, I was just thinking.

About what? Tell me about it JD.

Well, I was wondering..

If you'd promise me,
we'd stay friends..

When we both go
through them pearly gates.

I promise.

That is, if I make
it in that direction.

You'll make it, JD.

I got a friend there.

Even though I tried to
cheat you out of your farm?

Even though.

Hallelujah.

Emery! Come on.

- Don't forget the numbers.
- Emery, here you go.

Twelve to the right, ten to
the left and seven to the right.

Come on.

Hurry, boys! They're
looking real bad.

- Come on.
- 'Here.'

Twelve to the... twelve-twelve..

Come on.

- Emery!
- Get him out of the way.

He said them numbers so
many times I know them by heart.

Twelve to the right..

You better hurry up,
they don't look too good.

To the left... alright..

It ought to about do it.

Fingers crossed!

- Ah!
- Alright.

- He's alright.
- Come on.

Boss, you're okay?

Huh! Well, JD, we made it.

Yeah, them pearly gates'
gonna have to wait a while for us.

And you're gonna
make it too, JD.

Since you confessed, shuckin'
and jivin' me out of my farm.

Oh, Jesse Duke, shame on you.

I never said no such thing.

You must've been
hallucinating in there.

'Why, you lying..'

JD, I heard you confess
loud and clear in there.

Well, it's your word
against mine, ain't it?

No, sorry, that farm is mine.

Laverne, aside
from that TV monitor

'is there some sorta
tape recorder in there?'

Yeah, it sure does, Luke,
there's a little cassette

right there at the side.

What tape rec..
Oh, tape recorder!

- Give me that!
- No, no, no.

Listen up, Boss, now
you've got a choice.

Now, either we
can call Judge Potts

back into town
to listen to this.

- Or else we make a deal.
- What kind of deal?

Your confession in return
for that bail bond agreement.

- Yeah, but..
- Come on.

Alright, agreed! You
have my word on it.

'Hold it, Duke.'

JD, I know about your word.

I want the word
of a ridge runner.

- Done.
- Done.

And the ridge runner's word
is sealed in spit or blood.

And lasts as long as the hills.

Of course, even the
hills are liable to change

in Hazzard county.
