'Yee-haw!'
Now, y'all watch 'cause
this one is different.
It all started on a
Monday morning.
The Duke boys and
Daisy, were headed to town
to Rhuebottom's store with
a shopping list of staples.
And Jesse was on his
way to Capitol City Bank
to take out a farm loan to
buy some new equipment
for spring planting.
Right along in here is
where I leave you, kids.
I'll see you back to the
farm in, oh, a couple of hours.
'Boys, you be good, you hear?'
Uncle Jesse, don't worry.
I'm gonna keep my eye on 'em.
You see, if Vance
drives one mile over
neither of these
fellas are gonna get
any of my sugar-baked
ham tonight.
- That's blackmail.
- 'That's right.'
I'll see you later.
Bye-bye. Take care.
'It's a shame Uncle
Jesse's gotta go'
'all the way to
Capitol City for a loan.'
'It's easier than getting
it from Boss' bank.'
'Not with his interest rates.'
The Dukes are right.
Boss Hogg's rate of interest
usually comes to more
than the original loan.
Boss just loves money
like a pig loves goobers.
Alright, alright, Hanson.
Now, tell me, what
exactly are you selling?
Pretend I'm a driver that goes
into the many service stations
that you own and I say,
"Give me ten gallons please."
Ooh, look at that sucker fly.
- 'Ten gallons, right?'
- Right.
- Wrong.
- Wrong?
Wrong?
What he gets is ten
ounces, not ten gallons.
And by the time he figures
he'd been short-gassed..
He's too far away to complain.
Oh, did... oh..
Or he's outta gas. I
love it, I love it, I love it.
It does have a certain appeal.
Tell me... how many of
them little suckers you got?
Two dozen and if you
put them in your stations
in a month you get
your investment back.
- I will?
- Oh, oh.
How much of an
investment you talking about?
Fifty thousand for
the whole truckload.
- Fifty thousand!
- Are you...
- I'll give you ten.
- Forty.
- Twenty.
- Done.
Fifteen now and
five on delivery.
Fifteen now? I'll give you five.
- Fourteen.
- Six!
- Thirteen.
- Seven!
- Twelve.
- Eight!
- Eleven.
- Ten!
Done.
Oh, I just love these
lengthy negotiations.
- That was really something.
- I love it, I love it.
- How about the money?
- The money.
Alright, I'll give
you the money.
Lookie here now, I
just happen to have
oh, yeah, there's
right there.
And I keep stashed
away. Let me see.
Yeah, there's another
five. Now, wait a minute.
- When do I get 'em?
- Tomorrow.
I'll call you and tell you
where and what time.
'Hogg, one other thing'
if you don't show up
with the other ,
at the exact time, I'll
leave with the merchandise
and keep this ten grand
for my trouble. Clear?
We'll be there, Hanson. I
ain't losing no money on this.
Hallelujah, Boss.
I'll be talking to you.
Rosco, we pulled it again.
Just think, every month
I'm gonna get to
collect me a fortune.
Oh, every month
we're gonna get..
What do I get?
- Oh, you get to pump the gas.
- Oh, I appreciate that.
Pumping... I'll pump you..
By now, Jesse had
arrived in Capitol City
and was headed for the bank.
Oh, here, ma'am,
let me help you.
'You're a gentleman, sir.'
Help! Police! I've been robbed.
Stop. I've been robbed.
Somebody call an ambulance.
- Hey, hey.
- Hey, that goes in the..
- Give me that.
- What?
It doesn't go in
the refrigerator.
Hello, Duke Farm.
'Yes, is this the
residence of Jesse Duke?'
Sure is. He's my uncle.
This is Dr. Talmadge of
Capitol City General Hospital.
We have your uncle here. He's
had a pretty serious accident.
Oh, no. No, I..
Is he alright? Is he
alive? Is he, is he..
It's Uncle Jesse, he's
had an accident, he...
Let's see that.
This here's Vance Duke.
Who's this? What happened?
Yes, this is Dr. Talmadge.
I'm afraid Mr. Duke was
accosted by a couple of thieves
and he took a severe
blow to the head.
- How bad is he hurt?
- 'He's got a bad concussion.'
I'm afraid it's
affected his eyesight.
- He can't see?
- He can't see!
No, I'm afraid not. But
we're still making tests...
We'll get the rest from you
later. We're on our way now.
Oh, boy.
Nice haul, Parker.
Hey, these pearls alone must
be worth what, , grand.
At least.
You done good,
boy. We done good.
Except that old man
getting a good look at me.
He'd pick me out of
a mug book for sure.
If he's alive. He hit
his head pretty hard.
Yeah, well, he
better not be alive.
Yes, sir, the Dukes are trying
to reach Capitol City,
and their Uncle Jesse
as the crow flies.
And they're going over,
under, around, between
every cross-country shortcut
that they've known
since they were kids.
Too fast. Doggone it.
Vance... it's Enos.
'We got no time
for him. Go faster.'
Coy, Vance, Daisy
'let's don't go adding
a resisting arrest'
'to a little speeding
ticket now.'
Pull over. Please.
Sorry, Enos, we can't do that.
See, Uncle Jesse's just
had a serious accident.
Doctor's told us it's
affectin' his eyesight.
'We're on our way
to the hospital.'
Oh, no, not Uncle Jesse.
Listen, I'm going
with y'all, fellas
so you won't have no trouble
with the law in Capitol City.
Thanks, Enos. We can make
better time in the General.
Besides, you're on duty.
We don't wanna get
you in trouble with Rosco.
Okay. Godspeed and my prayers
go with you for Uncle Jesse.
'Thank you, Enos. We know that.'
Y'all know that Enos is
saying a little something
for Jesse right now.
Hey, Coy, we can
save ten minutes
if we cut across
through the railroad yard.
- Good idea, Daisy.
- Alright, let's do it.
I sure hope they don't
come across no tall buildings.
'The latest in a
string of robberies'
'has hospitalized Hazzard
County resident, Jesse Duke.'
'Blinded while trying
to stop the robbers'
'Mr. Duke is
resting comfortably.'
'Chances that he will
regain his sight are slim.'
- That old man's still alive.
- But he can't see.
And if he can't see,
there ain't no way
he can identify you, Parker.
Let's get the heck out of
this country like we planned.
Not while this...
Jesse Duke's still alive
to describe me to anybody.
Mm, boy... that's
something I hate to see.
- Oh, no, Uncle Jesse.
- Daisy. Daisy.
Now, just calm down. Calm down.
It isn't as bad as
it looks. It's gonna..
- Coy, Vance?
- Yes, sir. We're here too.
- Yes, sir. Are you hurt much?
- No, no, no.
Uncle Jesse, what
did they do to you?
Now, Daisy, Daisy, just calm..
It's gonna be alright.
The important thing
is, it's only temporary.
Soon as they take
these bandages off
I'll be as good as
new, right, doc?
- Uh... yes, of course.
- We'll be right back.
Now, that was
for Jesse's benefit.
But the doctor
knew that the boys
and Daisy had to
be told the truth..
That Jesse just might
not ever see again.
We've done all we
can do for him here.
You can take him home now.
'You have this
prescription filled'
and see that he gets plenty
of rest and no excitement.
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
- Uncle Jesse, let's go home.
- I'm for that.
When we get the fella
who done this to you
he's gonna wish he's never born.
You bet on that.
Come on, kids, you
get yourself all het up
and I'm liable to have to
drive clear back to Hazzard.
You never get ahead of the
fella you're trying to get even with.
Yes, sir.
Meanwhile, Boss was being
told where and when to pick up
that truckload of
crooked gas pumps.
Yeah, I got you, Hanson. Yeah.
We're gonna meet at Miller's
Crossroads... tomorrow at .
Be sure and bring the stuff.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
With the other , .
'Prompt, Hogg.
And I mean prompt.'
Like I said, you're one
minute late and I'll be gone.
With the pump, and with
the ten grand down payment.
Oh, yeah. That's
clear. That's clear.
I mean, when I say I'll be
there at , I'll be there at .
Goodbye now.
Uh... where'd he go?
Rosco. Come on,
will you, please?
Give me that and
knock it off, will you?
Mr. Hogg.
Enos, don't come running
in here hollering like that.
Why aren't you out there giving
somebody a jaywalking ticket?
Sorry, sheriff, I thought
you'd both wanna know about
what happened to Uncle
Jesse in Capitol City.
- What happened?
- What?
He was in front of a
jewelry store being robbed
they knocked him down, he
hit his head on the pavement.
He can't see. He's blind.
- Blind?
- Jesse Duke?
My old ridge-running
buddy is blind?
- Rosco, did you hear that?
- Yeah.
We better get ourselves
out to the Duke Farm
find out if there's
anything we can do to help.
I beg your pardon, Mr. Hogg,
Daisy said Uncle Jesse was told
by the doctor to rest
the night. No visitors.
Well, first thing tomorrow then.
Yeah, we'll get out
there and I don't know
we could bring them
some rhubarb pies
to help cheer old Jesse up.
Two pieces.
No, don't you get any of that.
My goodness. Not
while Jesse's blind.
- My, oh, my.
- Never thought of that.
That night at the Duke house
Ol' Jesse wasn't much
in the mood for sleeping.
Could you blame him?
Oh, now, dadgummit.
Who put that there?
This is my place.
I know you're there.
I don't know how I know,
but I know you're there.
'I also know what
you're thinking.'
And I love you for it.
Flowers. Flowers and blue skies.
'We really don't miss
these things much'
'until we can't
see 'em no more.'
But if I never see again..
Thank goodness I've...
had my share of flowers
and blue skies and... sunsets.
Uncle Jesse.
You're gonna see the
flowers and the sky again.
The doctor said
you would for sure.
He wouldn't lie
about a thing like that.
Now, listen, with or without
me, you got a farm to run here
and take care of, so, you better
get to bed and get some sleep.
- Goodnight.
- Uncle Jesse.
You're gonna be
fine, Uncle Jesse.
Oh, I know that, I know that.
Now, listen, you
better run on to bed.
Please, God... Uncle
Jesse is a good man.
One of the best there is.
He's never hurt a soul.
And if you could find
it in your goodness
to give him back
his eyes to see with..
You'll be doing one of the
finest things you've ever done.
God, hear me.
Please, hear me.
Amen.
'"The jewel robbery that took
place was seen by Jesse Duke.'
"He has told police that he
will be able to identify the crooks
as soon as he
gets his sight back."
Uncle Jesse sounds
like a real hero.
Sounds to me like
a real sittin' duck.
Hey, will you two
keep your voices down?
Uncle Jesse's still asleep.
What do you mean by him
sounding like a sittin' duck?
If the fella Uncle Jesse saw
is reading this same paper
he'll have his own ideas
about tryin' to shut Uncle
Jesse up... permanently.
We better call state police
and get him protection.
Thought of it. By the time
they get here, it'll be too late.
We gotta get him out of
here today... ourselves.
You're right, partner. We
best take him someplace else.
If he'll go.
Listen, fellas, you know
how prideful Uncle Jesse
is about running from trouble.
We gotta do what's best for
him whether he likes it or not.
'Good morning.'
Mornin'.
Now, wait, wait. Everybody
just stay where they are.
I can take care of myself.
I've been walking
through this old house
long before you was born.
- How are you this morning?
- Alright. How are you?
Good, good, good.
- Sleep well?
- There you go.
Mm... ham, pancakes and eggs.
My favorite.
Now, Vance was right.
That fella that Jesse
said that he could identify
had read the same
newspaper story.
And was now out to find where
he could locate Jesse Duke..
And put him out of the way.
Hello, Duke Farm.
Ah, yes, he is.
Okay. Hold on.
Uncle Jesse, it's a
reporter from Nashville
who wants to talk to you.
Here you go.
Hello, Jesse Duke, here.
What can I do for ya?
Well, sir, you're quite
the celebrity here
and my editor was
wondering whether or not
you'd be willing to
give me an interview
and an exclusive layout
with you and your family.
My photographer and me could
be there as early as tomorrow.
I think me and
my family have had
about all the
excitement we can stand.
If it's the same to you, I'll
just pass on your nice offer.
'Thank you very much.
Maybe another time.'
Alright, well, thank you anyway
and good luck to ya. Bye-bye.
- He's there. Let's go get him.
- Parker, let's forget this.
No, Rick. We're
going and that's final.
Daisy, you did yourself
right proud with that breakfast.
Thank you.
Uncle Jesse, what do you say
you take a ride
into town with us?
Uh, me, like this? Why?
Well, uh, Coy and me
promised Mr. Rhuebottom
we were gonna help
him restock his shelves.
We can use the
extra chore money.
That's right.
I've to get ready for a special
party at the Boar's Nest.
You kids go and do
what you gotta do.
We can't leave you
alone in your condition.
Suppose you fall or something?
Well, I'll just get
up. Now, now, go on.
- Do what you gotta do.
- It's final, Uncle Jesse.
You're coming with
us. Now, here's your hat.
And we're gonna leave right now.
- It'll be like a family outing.
- Well, alright.
What am I gonna be doing
while you're restocking
Rhuebottom's shelves?
Twiddlin' my thumbs?
We ain't exactly going to
Mr. Rhuebottom's, Uncle Jesse.
Where are we going?
- I thought those thieves...
- Uncle Jesse, we...
Just a minute, one
at a time, please.
Sorry we had to lie to you
it's the only way we
could get you to come.
Sometimes you gotta do
things for those you love
even if it means
stretching the truth a mite.
You see, Uncle Jesse,
there ain't nobody
that loves you like we do.
I know that, I know that.
Alright, you got me outnumbered.
Now, where are
you gonna hide me?
You gonna put me on one
of Rhuebottom's shelves
behind the pickles and
the tomato ketchup?
Not exactly. I do have
a place in mind though.
We'll need Boss
Hogg to agree to it.
- Now then, Rosco.
- Uh-huh.
When Hanson hands us
over them phony gas pumps...
- You, you..
- 'Oh, uh..'
I meant to say, that is,
when Hanson phones in
that he's got them
new gas pumps for us
I want you to have 'em placed
two each on my gas stations
near the main highway.
Here, here, here and here.
You hear?
That's check, check,
check and check.
No checks. Oh, no, no, no.
You tell them gas pumpers
to accept only cash.
Well, that's a big check.
No. No big or small checks.
Not even credit cards.
I want cash on the barrelhead.
- 'Didn't mean "check" check..'
- 'Whatever you meant.'
- Hello, J.D.
- Oh, Jesse, Jesse.
- How you doing?
- Goodness sakes alive.
We were just gonna come out
in a while to the farm to see you.
- Bring you some pie.
- Two pieces.
Two pieces?
Jesse, we can't tell
you how sorry we feel
you know, with you getting
your eyeball scuffed like that.
- That's the gospel.
- Well, don't get all riled up.
It ain't like it's the end
of the world or nothing.
Yeah, but if there's
anything you want, Jesse
I mean anything at
all, you just name it.
As a matter of fact, there is.
We'd like you, Rosco and
Enos to help protect him.
Protect him? Oh, from what?
We're afraid those fellas Uncle
Jesse saw might come after him.
Alright, uh, listen
the jail downstairs is
the safest place I know.
Yeah, so, Rosco, you put
Jesse in the best cell we got.
You bet. Jesse,
just put your wrists...
Oh, stop that!
Come on, Boss, not a cell.
That's not what we had in mind.
We hoped you'd let Uncle
Jesse share the comforts
of your very own home,
that'd be even safer.
My home? Uh, well,
I don't know. Uh, uh..
Listen, Boss, I seem
to remember a time
when we put you up
when you had trouble.
- I remember that.
- Yeah, I remember that.
Would you two hush up, please?
Yeah, I remember that too.
Alright, Jesse, my old friend
my home is your home.
Would you please..
Besides, Lulu's away in Decatur
visiting her sister Hortense
so you can use her bedroom.
It's got its own kitchen
and walk-in refrigerator.
And here comes the bad boys.
Getting closer,
faster to the Dukes.
'Alright, Jesse. Come on
into the dining room then.'
Now, I want you to sit
down in my own private chair.
Rosco, do the honors.
- Sit down.
- Okay.
- Not you!
- Not me?
- Jesse I'm talking about.
- Jesse, of course.
- Here you go.
- Jesse, sit down there.
And you're sitting right
at my own dining table too.
I'm gonna get you
something to eat.
- Oh, good.
- But first..
I wanna tell you this
funny story I just heard.
- It's about old Blue...
- No, it ain't.
- It ain't...
- Oh, wait a minute.
That's nice of Boss and Rosco
to try and cheer Uncle Jesse up.
I'd like to get my hands on
them fellas that done that to him.
If they're thinking
of coming after him
maybe we best get
back to the farm and wait.
We still don't know that's
really where they're headed.
That phone call Uncle
Jesse got from Nashville
might just tell us something.
Seems awful strange that
a reporter from Nashville
is gonna be that curious about
a robbery so far from home.
Wait a minute.
You're saying that reporter who
called wasn't really a reporter?
We sure can find out.
You're getting to be an expert.
- Uh, Boss. Boss?
- Huh?
- Can I use your phone?
- Oh, my phone? Uh..
I, uh, I gotta call the pharmacy
and check on Uncle
Jesse's medication.
Oh! For his medication.
Yeah, go right ahead.
Now, I'm gonna tell
you a real knee-slapper.
- This is about...
- Oh, there's no stopping you.
'You see, old Blue had this..'
Hi, Gussie. This
here's Vance Duke.
Did we get any calls
today from Nashville?
'...besides, I've heard
it a million times. And..'
Thanks a lot, Gussie.
The call came from Capitol City.
Then they were just checking
to see if Uncle Jesse was there.
Well, he ain't.
We're sure gonna be.
Honey, I want you to stay
with Uncle Jesse, alright?
No way! I got a score to
settle with those guys too.
Alright, come on.
You didn't find it
that funny, did you...
- Uncle Jesse. Uncle Jesse.
- Yes.
Since you're all
having such a good time
we figured we'd
go back to the farm.
If this thing is a false alarm,
we could get some chores done.
- Check back with you later!
- You take care of Uncle Jesse.
Come right back.
Don't take too long.
I'm having a wonderful time.
Listen to this one. This is
about a cat. A long haired cat...
Oh, he don't wanna
hear about cats..
Meanwhile, them fellas
was getting closer and closer
to the Duke Farm.
- We all set then?
- Looks like it.
The connection's up front.
Vance, Coy and Daisy
were setting a trap
to catch 'em jewel thieves
when they came through
the Duke porch door.
Complete with a
decoy of Uncle Jesse
sitting and waiting.
We're all set.
Well, he ain't Uncle
Jesse's twin brother
but he'll have to do.
- What now?
- We wait.
If that farmer's
direction was right
that must be the
Duke Farm there.
- See anything yet?
- Nothing yet. How about you?
'No, nothing.'
'Wait a minute. Here they come.'
- Come on. Get ready.
- Okay.
Alright.
Dang it! Let's get out of here.
- There they go, Vance.
- Hey, Daisy. Coy, Vance.
Sheriff Rosco told
me to help y'all..
- Sorry, Enos. We gotta go.
- Hey, wait, just a minute.
Coy! Vance! Wait a minute now.
Hey, y'all wait for me now.
Enos is okay. He's
coming after us.
- Come on, Rick, step on it.
- I've hit the floor...
- Push it harder!
- I know they're gaining, I...
'Push it!'
They mean business.
Now, Vance, Coy, Daisy,
it ain't right for you three
to be acting like
vigilantes now.
- 'This is a job for the law.'
- No way.
We're after those guys for
what they did to Uncle Jesse.
'That g*n slowed
us down. Any ideas?'
We'll jump the creek
and cut them off.
Do it.
Good idea, except for one thing
a traffic jam at the
Hazzard Mobile Home Park
broke this morning.
Get on it.
- 'We can't make it, Coy.'
- Yes, we can.
Boy, howdy. I sure hope there's
a gentle breeze behind him.
Old Enos is gonna be a
long time paying for that one.
Doggone it!
Ain't no way to catch them
creeps on three wheels.
- Enos, are you alright, honey?
- I'm okay, Daisy.
I'll go ahead and see if I
can catch up with them.
I'll give you a toot if I do.
Thanks, Enos. We'll see
you back at Boss' house.
- Come on, let's fix this car.
- Get the trunk.
Got a lug wrench?
Meanwhile, them
fellas had got smart
and doubled back
to the Duke Farm
for another cr*ck
at getting Jesse.
Dang! How do we
find that old man now?
We are gonna search
every inch of Hazzard
and find that orange car.
'Cause when we do,
it's gonna lead us directly
to the real old man.
First we better ditch
our wheels, come on.
Jesse, meanwhile, was
being wined and dined by Boss
who was still worried about
getting to Miller's Crossroads
in time to pick up them
crooked gas pumps.
- Rosco.
- What?
Where are you?
- Listen.
- What?
In minutes, we gotta meet
Hanson at Miller's Crossroads
to pick up them phony gas pumps.
I'll tell you. You go out there
and I'll take care of Jesse.
- No, no, I can't do that.
- Can't?
I wouldn't trust Hanson. Unless I
had one of my own men with me.
Well, I don't blame you.
Listen, I'll go and you stay here.
- Oh, I can't do that.
- Why?
Well, I don't trust you to
do anything right alone.
Oh-h..
I gotta get my gas pumps
or I'm gonna lose $ , .
Oh, eat up, Jesse.
Eat up, eat up.
Chomp away there.
Well, now, them
fellas ditched their car
and stole themselves another
one, like they said they would.
And after covering
most of Hazzard County
with no sign of the General,
they went straight to town.
Rick, look. There.
That's it. That's them.
Alright, pull over.
The boys and Daisy figured
that by parking the General
far enough away from Boss' house
nobody would think of
looking for Jesse in there.
But trouble was just
dogging their trail.
'My bet is, the
old man's in there.'
Yeah, and that
patrol car tells me
there's a sheriff in there too.
We'll wait. I want that old man.
We had a flat tire
and had to pull over.
Enos went after 'em but
we ain't heard from him.
Well, the important thing
is that you kids are alright.
Now, it was dang
foolishness to go up against
somebody with a
g*n. I've told you...
Well, you're right,
you're right, Jesse.
Listen, I've got a great idea,
why don't you Dukes all relax
and have a nice discussion
about what happened.
You can help yourself to
anything you want. Not you.
Rosco and me is gotta
take care of some business
we don't wanna be late for.
- Goodbye.
- See you later.
'Daisy, y'all out
there? This is Enos.'
Go ahead, Enos.
Listen, I found those varmints'
car. It's at Walton's Willows.
I don't see hide nor hair
of those guys though.
I just thought
you'd like to know.
- Thanks, we're on our way.
- No, no, no.
There might be something
to help us find them.
- Wait a minute...
- Take care of Uncle Jesse.
No, no, no. Don't
go. Don't go, don't go.
- They went!
- I know. Dadgummit it.
I think I only got
minutes left.
minutes?
- No, look at this, minutes.
- I-I'm sorry, J.D...
Nine minutes for a very
important business appointment.
Jesse, I guess it's no
secret that Rosco and me
gotta be somewhere
in seven minutes.
And we better or I
stand to lose $ , .
So, you wouldn't mind,
would ya, if we left you alone
for a teensy-weensy,
itty-bitty little while?
J.D., a fella's gotta
do what he's gotta do
even if it's crookeder than a
corkscrew. You go right ahead.
Oh, thank you, Jesse. I
knew you'd understand.
Come on, Rosco.
Oh, oh, oh, lookie,
look, look here.
Jesse, I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna leave this here CB
set right in front of you. Here.
You feel that? Now..
Oh, here. Let me help
you with this microphone.
Now, if you need
anything just holler.
But... for the time
being we gotta go.
- Yeah.
- J.D., will you just go?
Alright, we're going.
- We're goin'.
- Come on.
We got five minutes to
get to that crossroads.
Come on. Come on, let's go.
Only got five
minutes. Better hurry.
Well, I'll be danged.
Just a minute, Jesse, we'll be
right back. What are you doing?
If that old man is in
there this is gonna be..
Easier than I thought.
Go get the car, bring it around
the front. Meet me inside.
Go on.
Coy?
Vance?
J.D.? R-Ros..
Did you fellas change your mind?
No, sir, I'm not one of your
friends. I'll give you a guess.
If you got blonde hair,
the blue eyes of a wild dog
and a scar on your left
cheek, I don't have to guess.
You're the scum of the earth.
Yep. Right on the
money. You got it, pop.
That's why you'll have to
come along with me, right now.
You see, because I believe...
you got too darn good a memory.
Did you get the car?
- Yeah, the car's out front.
- Good. We're gonna do it now.
Come on, old man.
You're going with us.
Shepherd to Lost Sheep.
Shepherd to Lost Sheep.
Mayday, mayday.
Vance!
Shepherd to Lost Sheep. Mayday..
Holy..
What have I done by leaving him?
- Alright, go back. Go back.
- What? Are you kiddin'?
What about your
, simoleons?
Oh, yeah, what... about it?
Alright, alright. Never
mind the money.
- Go back, go back, go back.
- Oh! Well..
Possum on a gumbush,
that's Uncle Jesse!
Get in there.
Go.
'Watch it, watch it!
Don't hit the fire hydrant.'
Come on. Look what you've
done. Get us out of here, will you?
Well, I'm trying, but
there's too much weight.
Come on. Faster,
faster, will you?
Wait, wait. What's my
being fat got to do with it?
It ain't your fat.
It's all this water.
'Oh, I get it.'
Stop, stop it. Where do
you think you're going?
Wait a minute. I
gotta get on the CB.
This is J.D. Hogg
calling any of you
Dukes out there, over.
We're here alright, Boss.
What happened to Uncle Jesse?
Boss told the Dukes
about him and Rosco
leaving Jesse alone
and what happened.
Listen, I swear to
you that nobody's
sorrier for what
happened than me.
Never mind, Boss. We know
you meant no harm to Uncle Jesse.
We could still use your help.
Did you see which
way that car went?
Well, not too precisely, no.
But they was driving a
brown car and we lost them
just as they was
headed out of town
because Rosco here
had to give us both a bath.
Alright then, we'll take
the mountain roads.
Enos, you take the valley roads.
Rosco, you and Boss take
the ridge roads. We're gone.
Now, finding that car with Jesse
was gonna be hard as
finding a flea in a grain silo.
'Cause where them
fellows was taking Jesse
could be anywhere.
Oh, watch your head.
- Right on here.
- You gonna do it in the cave?
No, no, no. Right
here's just fine.
If you got a quick and I mean
a quick prayer to say, old man
I believe now's the time.
I'd like to get ahold of
them fellas, wouldn't you?
Just one time.
I am sorry about this, Mr. Duke.
'Oh, I bet you are.'
Don't I get to say
a few last words?
Sure you do, pop. I just told
you, say whatever you like.
How about..
Goodbye?
Come on out of there, pop.
You ain't going anywhere.
Besides, I like to see
what I'm sh**ting at.
This dang cave got
another way out?
Somewhere on the
other side maybe?
I don't know. We didn't look.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, dear Lord, please don't let
nothing happen to Uncle Jesse.
Well, let's spread out. He
couldn't have gotten too far.
And they was right
again. Jesse didn't go far.
He just played a little
possum in the dark.
What Jesse was aiming
to do if he could find it
was get to the CB on
that car and call for help.
Dang! Dang! No radio.
Come on, Rick. Let's move it.
Where are you?
- Need two more.
- '...he doubled back.'
'Let's head on over to the car.'
Enos, Boss and Rosco
were combing the county
looking for Jesse.
Oh, dang it!
Look what that old geezer did.
We must've missed
him in the cave.
Enough with the old
man, Parker. Forget him.
I say we try and fix this
mess and get outta here
before he brings
the whole law on us.
You mean to tell
me that you think
you can fix this
hunk of spaghetti?
I know cars pretty
good, I can try.
Yeah, then, go
ahead and try and fix it.
Anyway, an old blind
man out there alone..
Don't stand much of a chance.
Besides, if he does...
make his way back..
Ain't no way he's gonna
lead anybody to where we are.
That fella just might be right.
It's hard enough for
somebody with two good eyes
and a smart dog to find their
way through the Hazzard woods.
Uncle Jesse's gotta
be out here somewhere.
But where? Where? Where is he?
We're gonna find him,
honey. We just gotta.
That was quicksand.
Only an old ridge-runner
with educated feet
could've know that.
Rosco, Enos? This
here's Vance Duke.
We're gonna go
to the Devil's Ridge.
Maybe we could spot
something from up there.
Not that way, Jesse.
That, friends, is what is
known as "Country radar."
Coy, Vance and Daisy
reached Devil's Ridge
which overlooked
most of Hazzard County.
Alright, if you see anything,
anything at all, give a yell.
Well, finally Jesse got to
what he was hoping to find
a clearing in the woods.
He could tell by
the wind on his face.
Now, Jesse could do
what he wanted to do
without fear of
burning down the trees
or any farms that
might be nearby.
Vance, Coy, come here!
Looks like smoke. Coming
from Eagle Rock Valley.
Could be somebody's
campfire. Do we check it out?
Everything's worth checking
out. Come on, let's go.
While old Jesse kept
fanning up that smoke
them fellas was still
fussing with them wires
that Jesse pulled in their car.
Well?
A few more minutes, I hope.
That old codger sure
made a mess of this.
Rosco, Enos. This is Vance Duke.
We spotted smoke over
at Eagle Rock Valley.
Let's check it out. Over.
- Gotta be the General.
- Uncle Jesse! Uncle Jesse!
- Are you okay?
- Did they hurt you?
- No, no.
- There you are. It's J.D.
- Yeah, and Rosco is here.
- Hey, good, good.
Come on, Uncle Jesse.
I'm taking you home.
No, no, no, wait. Now, listen.
Let's see if we can catch
them two that took me away.
- I-I can lead you to 'em.
- Are you kidding, Jesse?
You can't lead us with
your eyes in that condition.
Uncle Jesse, they're
probably long gone by now.
No, they're there in one
of them Indian caves.
Which Indian cave, Jesse?
There's gotta be hundreds
of Indian caves here.
Let's see if we can
sort it out. Let me see.
I crossed a creek
at Sweetwater Bridge
because I remember
the planks was out.
Then I crossed
the railroad crossing
because the : , I
could hear it coming
and then I went past some
men doing some roadwork.
That's gotta be up there on
Meadow Lane Road, right?
There's only one
cave I know up there.
The Indian cave
up on Simon's Peak.
Simon's Peak! We all know that.
Uncle Jesse, the
doctor said you need...
I know what the doctor said.
We'll rest after we catch
'em. Who am I riding with?
- Come on.
- Come on, let's go.
That should do it. Try it now.
You did it. Nice
work, Rick old boy.
Parker, look. It's that orange
car coming with the law.
Dang that old sodbuster.
How'd he manage
that? Let's get outta here.
- Look, I think that's them.
- 'Yep, that's them, alright.'
How did they put
the car back together?
I knew I should've
taken that rotor cap
out of the distributor.
Rosco, Enos, you stay with
them. We're going the back way.
That orange car turned off.
Where in the heck is it?
'Yee-haw!'
It's coming right over us.
Hold on, Uncle Jesse.
Come on! Get up!
- Get up!
- Get up!
Alright, Vance Duke. Alright.
Just hold it right there. I
know they deserve it, but..
Alright, Enos, let's cuff
them and stuff 'em here.
Drag him over
here. Alright, get up.
- You alright, Uncle Jesse?
- Yeah.
I gave him a right cross
that had your name on it.
Well, them fellas got
plenty of pokey time
for robbery, kidnapping
and attempted m*rder.
Boss suddenly remembered
that he lost $ , .
Plus them crooked gas pumps.
But you know something?
For once in Boss' life,
he didn't care about it.
Now that he knew that
Jesse was safe again.
And as for Jesse's
eyes, well, it's hard to say.
After a few days rest
and proper medication
the bandages were coming off.
And everybody was
praying for the best.
Uncle Jesse, please tell
me you can see, please.
Well, if I was to eat
one of them apples
back there in the bowl,
I can see a lot better.
Alright, Alright.
Here's a doozy.
Well, he said he could
see, he don't need these.
Well, I just can't
think of a better way
for things to get back
to normal... in Hazzard.
