Jesse foils a robbery..

He's blind.

And loses his sight.

'to describe me to anybody.'

No chance.

Never mind the money.

'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 55

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 5000 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 10,000

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, 15, 20 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 4.

Be sure and bring the stuff.

Oh, yeah, yeah. With the other 10,000.

'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 4, I'll be there at 4.

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 gun 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 crack 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 45 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 $10,000.

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 gun. 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 10 minutes left.

10 minutes?

- No, look at this, 9 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 $10,000.

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 10,000 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 shooting 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 4:45, 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 murder.

Boss suddenly remembered that he lost $10,000.

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.
