Original subtitles

You've been friend enough to me.

And Cooter's out on a limb.

Cooter Davenport.

Whoo!

Yeah, it is, it is.

Oh, no!

'Yee-ha!'

Once a month, Bo and Luke help Daisy with the shopping.

Now since the Dukes grow most of what they eat

it ain't exactly an all-day job.

But y'all know it ain't the kind of a job

that a man likes to do, or a woman either.

'Oh, come on.'

This is big bad John Harris.

Now, bad John is a real supply-and-demand genius.

He's the middleman getting the product to them what wants it.

And then he makes a killing, hijacking the same products.

That makes him an entrepreneur.

Ruth, that old truck should be heading your way right soon.

We're ready and waiting. Out.

You heard him, Bart. Let's get set.

That's Jonas Jones. He's new in these parts.

And parts is what he's a-toting.

Auto parts for Boss Hogg's service stations.

The plots are getting thicker, and we just got started.

- 'Howdy, ma'am.' - 'Hi.'

Anything I can do?

Well, something's wrong with the engine, but I don't know what.

I'll take a look-see.

Now, hijacking of Boss' auto parts

friends and neighbors, the Dukes are gonna be in trouble..

Up to their eyeballs and earlobes.

Rosco can't catch us in this phony speed trap.

If he does and we pay the fine, we won't have money to shop.

We got them, Flash. Alright, you Dukes!

I just clocked you at 55 and one-third miles per hour.

Now, pull it over.

Alright, Rosco, let's see if your bite's as bad as your bark.

Oh, good grief.

Oh-ee-ooh!

You might say Rosco's really lapping it up.

Come on.

You might say that.

- That's just a humongous... - Dipstick, you're gonna pay.

Meanwhile, old Enos is in hot pursuit.

You know, that boy has flashes of pure competence.

Throws you off, don't it?

Sheriff, this is Deputy Strate.

I'm in hot pursuit of a truck I think it's hijacked.

- 'I could use some backup.' - Enos, this here is Bo Duke.

Listen, the sheriff's a mite busy right now.

Tell us where you are. We could help.

- Peach Tree Lane, heading east. - Alright, we'll be right there.

'We're gone.'

'Yee-aa-hoo!'

Excuse me, lady.

Lady.

Why doesn't that lady driver move over so Enos can pass her?

Daisy, you just answered your own question.

- Bo. - Yeah, Bo.

What? Come on.

Enos?

Enos, you alright?

Whoo!

Thank you, Luke. I appreciate it. I'm fine.

Oh, good.

What happened?

I was trying to stop that truck and warn the driver

about all the hijacking we're having.

He took off like a scalded cat and I followed him..

And then the guy shot at me.

And I realized the truck was already hijacked.

- Well, did you see the driver? - No, Daisy, I didn't.

But I got me a make on his license plate.

I gotta check from Capitol City, if y'all excuse me.

You'd have caught that hijacker if it weren't for that woman.

Real funny, Bo.

She was probably so scared she couldn't get out of the way.

- Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. - You bet.

- Oh, well. - Hey, look at this.

Hey, Daisy, don't touch it. It might've fallen out the truck.

I bet it's got that crook's fingerprints.

- We should take it in to Enos. - Alright.

- Good idea. - Grab it with this.

Ah, there we go.

I'll bet this means I'm doing the shopping by myself, huh?

- Yep. - There is no justice. None.

Dang shame, isn't it? It does take both of us to take this in.

- Yes, it does. - I thought so.

Leave anything back there connecting you to that truck?

No.

Excepting the driver's lunch pail. It fell out of the truck.

It did?

Well, I'm getting an idea.

Suppose I call the sheriff's office over in Hazzard..

And tell him somebody stole J.D. Hogg's auto parts..

Right out of the warehouse. Carted them off in his truck.

Not bad, means it's the driver of the truck they'll look for.

Yeah. And if someone finds that lunch pail and turns it in..

- We're clean as morning dew. - Right.

Well, now, suppose you start unloading them goods.

Then I want that truck repainted.

Get me the sheriff's office in Hazzard.

J.D. Hogg eatin'. I-I mean, speakin'.

- Say hello from Rosco. - It's Enos.

- Oh, well, forget it. - Enos? Speak up, I can't hear.

What? What? What? What are you saying?

- Now, are you sure? - Huh?

Oh, they did? Oh, no, no.

Oh, that's terrible. It's a catastrophe.

I know, I wet your muffin.

- Nobody's talking about that. - You're not?

I'm talking about $13,000 cash that I paid for them auto parts.

- For your gasoline stations. - Yeah.

And I paid for it in advance too, just like regular people.

Well, well, guess, what truck

carrying whose auto parts just got hijacked?

Oh, let me guess.

- Give me a clue. - My parts got hijacked.

Couldn't it be the same gang hijacking all 'em other trucks?

All I know is that the first time

I paid for something in advance, going price, I get ripped off.

- Honesty doesn't always pay. - Well, neither does stupidity.

- You'll soon find out. - I appreciate it.

You just round up them that done it.

This is serious, you know that, don't you?

- Serious enough for a reward? - Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is.

I tell you what, you catch them hijackers..

And you get to keep your job as sheriff.

- Oh. - Hmm.

So go on and get 'em.

I'll pick y'all up after I finish shopping.

- Okay, thanks a lot, Daisy. - Drive it careful.

Yeah.

Thank you, now.

Meanwhile, the truck driver, Jonas Jones..

Hitched his self a ride into town.

But he didn't head for the sheriff's office.

He went to see his old fishing buddy, Cooter.

Hey, Jonas. How you doing, man? Got a job over here today?

No, Cooter, I came to, uh, say goodbye.

You ju-just got in town.

I thought you had good-paying hauling jobs lined up.

Yeah, well, I did, but, uh..

I'm in trouble. Big trouble.

I was carrying a load of auto parts, and I got hijacked.

- Did you report it to the law? - Come on, buddy.

You know I can't do that.

Lookie here.

That mess you got into out there in Oklahoma..

That ain't got nothing to do with what's going on here now.

No, you're dead wrong, Cooter.

I'm a stranger in Hazzard to everybody but you.

I got a record for armed robbery.

If they put things together, I'm going to jail for hijacking.

Look, you done paid your debt to society. You did your time.

But you split out of here..

They will hang that hijacking on you, no doubt about it.

Look, I came to town on my way to Florida to say hi to friend.

- What you trying to say? - I'm trying to say..

You been friend enough to me, and I'm leaving.

Over my dead body, and my body would've been dead

if you hadn't pulled me out of that fire

in Oklahoma 10 years ago. You remember that?

You and me rough necking.

- Weren't we a pair? - Yeah, those were good days.

We can have more good days like that, here in Hazzard..

Provided you don't leave here being wanted by the law.

They might have caught the people that did it.

You just work on this cup of java.

I'll mosey over to the sheriff's office and find out what I can.

- Okay, Cooter. - Look, now..

Don't you worry. You ain't gonna get burned on this.

- I guarantee it, huh? - Okay, Cooter.

Oh, good grief.

Alright, what are you Dukes doing here? Oh, don't tell me.

You're gonna give yourself up for speeding and all that stuff?

Rosco, we ain't been speeding. We've been doing 55.

We came in here on important business.

They brought evidence, sheriff. It smells like peanut butter.

That's right. Don't touch it. Don't put your fingerprints.

- What? - That's their lunchbox.

Oh, well, I already know all about that lunch bucket.

'The way I figure this, looks like a real good case'

'against the driver of that truck.'

Well, that makes sense. It fell off his truck, it's his prints.

All you do is run them prints through the computer..

And, bingo, you've got your crook.

Right. Mr. Harris of the Capitol City Distribution called..

And he said the man who drove the truck, stole those parts.

'Don't get me all confused with all that trivia.'

We've got to do run his fingerprints through a computer.

And then we find out who it is..

And then we arrest him, stuff him and cuff him..

Throw him in the clink, throw away the key..

And show him he can't mess with the laws in Hazzard County.

That no man is above or below the law in Hazzard.

Hey, Jonas, look. I got us an idea, now, you hear?

Don't ask me no questions. No questions. Just..

Just take this money and head to Florida, you hear?

I got a way, I'm gonna take care of everything.

How you gonna do that?

I said no questions, right?

Look. Head on over to the hotel, check out..

Head on down the way, okay?

Okay, Cooter. You know what I'm grateful for the most?

You didn't even ask me if I did it.

I know you didn't do it.

- You take care of yourself. - Bye, Cooter.

Yeah.

You see, once we get the information off this Teletype..

With those fingerprints of that driver, then...

- We'll pick him up. - No, we don't pick him up!

What we do is tell Boss what a wonderful detecting job I did..

And then we pick him up.

You ain't gonna have to wait long for that, Rosco.

The man who stole the auto parts is here in this room.

Shame, shame, everybody knows your name. Enos, cuff Bo.

Rosco, we was right behind Enos when he was following the truck.

- Yeah. - They were right behind me.

Oh, tiddly-tuddly.

You trying to tell me that you had an optical contusion?

Rosco, will you listen?

- I stole them auto parts. - Possum on a gum bush.

Cooter, what are you saying? This ain't no joke.

I ain't joking, y'all. I did it, I'm confessing. Rosco, lock me.

- See? - You don't have to do this.

- I knew it all the time. - Just drop it, huh?

I appreciate you being concerned but stay out of this.

Right in there, into the cell. I knew it all the time.

Alright, Enos, forget those fingerprints from Central City.

What's coming in over the wire, Enos?

The motor vehicle department's response to the license-plate.

This ought to be interesting.

You're sure right about that, Luke.

See, the pink slip's owned by Tri-County Truck Sales & Rental

sold last week to...

Cooter Davenport.

Well, don't that fill grandma's drawers with night crawlers?

- So, Cooter bought a truck? - Sure did, Bo.

But it was the other man who drove off in it.

- What other man was that? - The man who came with Cooter.

He said his name was..

Ooh, I've got it written down here somewhere.

Oh, here it is. Jonas Jones.

Jonas Jones. There's no address. Do you know where to find him?

He said if we needed hauling to call him at the Hazzard Hotel.

- Hazzard Hotel. - Much obliged, Flossie.

- Yeah, thanks a lot. - My pleasure.

- Oh, and, Bo.. - Yeah?

If you're ever thinking about buying or renting a truck..

You come see me. Ya hear?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I'll come see you.

Would you buy a used truck from that lady?

- You bet I would. - You're easy.

You know, one thing kind of bothers me, though.

Why would Cooter buy a truck and give it to somebody else?

Well, let's ask Jonas Jones.

The Hazzard Police pulled out all stops..

With a hard-nosed SWAT-team police grilling.

Which wasn't much, considering everybody loved old Cooter.

Now, then. Alright.

- Get that thing away from me! - Sorry. Here.

- Cooter, listen to the sheriff. - Now, then.

Are you gonna tell the Boss what you did with that truck or what?

- I ain't got nothin' to say. - See? He's crackin' already.

I told you to get it away from me, please.

- Cooter, you listen to me now. - Yeah.

- You'll rot in jail five years. - Or even less.

Which means you ain't gonna have no money

to make no mortgage payments on your garage.

Which means I'll take away every single solitary thing you own.

Now, what do you say to that?

Enos, take me to my cell.

- Sure thing, Cooter. - I told you he's cracking.

That's what you call crackin', huh?

We can still get a wet sock and thrash him soundly.

- Now, listen. I'll tell you. - What?

The Dukes are the key to this problem.

Of course it is. That's the key.

Which key is it?

That truck with my auto parts is prima facieevidence.

- I wouldn't doubt that. - If you was Cooter..

You'd want someone to get rid of the evidence.

- He ought to get rid of it. - Guess who that might be.

- Well, how many chances do I... - Oh, please. I just told you!

- The Dukes! - The Dukes. I knew that.

- Bo and Luke Duke. - I got that part.

Listen. You get down to my used-car lot.

Get yourself an unmarked car and start tailing them Dukes.

Sooner or later they'll lead you to the truck.

- Surveillance. - Can you do that?

I was excellent in surveillance when in the police academy.

That was my best subject..

Next to recess.

Just go, will you, please?

Now, y'all look sharp.

That is a Hazzard County secret surveillance car..

Which almost everybody in Hazzard knows about.

Jeanette, we're looking for a guy by the name of Jonas Jones.

He just checked out. Bag and baggage.

- You know what he was driving? - A blue four-door, that way.

- Let's hit it. - Thanks a lot.

You got it, captain.

Oh, good news, good news. Okay, buckle up. It's hot pursuit.

Listen. At least let us go your bail.

Uncle Jesse, I'm very much obliged for that..

But I have to say "no, thank you" this time.

Cooter, there's gotta be something we can do.

Well, there is. Just tell Bo and Luke to lay low on this one.

I can't explain..

But they can just make matters worse.

Well, if that's the way you want it. Come on, Daisy.

Uncle Jesse, you can't..

- Enos. - Jesse.

- Goodbye, Cooter. Bye, Enos. - Bye, Daisy.

The boys didn't know who Jonas Jones was..

...but they had to find him before he left Hazzard..

Or old Cooter would spend some real hard time in jail.

We got company.

'I don't hear no siren. It can't be Rosco.'

- Drives like Rosco. - I got a hunch.

- Slow down a little bit. - Alright.

- It is Rosco. - You mean, it was Rosco.

Wave goodbye to the nice man.

Hold on tight, Flash. Listen, if we lose them Dukes this time

you know what Boss is gonna do, don't ya?

He'll probably fire me.

That means I won't be able to afford your doggy num-nums.

Why the heck is he chasing us?

I don't know. You gotta lose him, though.

Now, sitting up ahead was the old Trask place.

Y'all ain't gonna believe what happens.

- I got an idea. - What?

- Oh, no. - Come on. Give it a shot.

'Yee-aa-ha!'

Now, that's some shot.

Hang on, Flash.

Anything those Dukes can do, your daddy can do better.

Anybody want some of that?

'Ooh! Oooh! Help me!'

'Oh, what a horrendous crash.'

I've heard of fellas raising the roof before..

But it's the first time I've heard of anybody lowering it.

'He looks like he's alright.'

Well, we just totaled Boss' house.

Maybe you should tell him, Flash. Would you do that?

Oh, good.

While Flash was figuring out what to say to Boss..

Old Jonas was getting close to the county line.

'Isn't that him up ahead?'

'That looks like the car Miss Parker described.'

Well, let's go get him.

- Howdy. - Hi.

If you're Jonas Jones, we got some business with you.

- I'm Jonas Jones. - I'm Luke Duke. My cousin Bo.

Yeah, we're real good friends of Cooter Davenport.

We thought you ought to know he confessed to a truck hijacking.

He made me promise to leave, but I never would've if I knew..

He was gonna confess to something neither of us did.

We gotta figure a way to get Cooter out of this mess he's in.

Well, I'll go back and turn myself in.

No. The frame of mind Cooter's in, you did that

I don't think he'd talk to any of us again.

- Well, we gotta do something. - Tell you what.

We'll head back, talk this over with our cousin and uncle.

- Yeah, why don't you follow us? - Alright, but you take it easy.

Take it slow. I heard about you Duke boys.

And over in Capitol City..

Big bad John was finishing repainting Jonas' old truck.

He thinks of everything, don't he?

Tomorrow, when that paint dries, we'll sell it.

And resell them auto parts to Big Sid in Atlanta.

I heard over the radio they got the hijacker in Hazzard jail.

Congratulations, John. Your plan worked like a charm.

Which means we're still in the clear.

And temporarily out of business.

If a shipment gets hijacked now..

The law's liable to think they got the wrong man in jail.

- So, what are we gonna do? - For the time being, nothin'.

Just sit back and count our money.

Well, it appears to me, folks at the distributing company..

Gotta be tied in with the hijacking.

Why don't we go tell the police what we know?

- Knowing ain't proving. - Exactly.

So, come nighttime, me and Bo head over to that warehouse..

And see what we can find as evidence.

That should work. What do you think, Uncle Jesse?

Well, it might work, but remember this.

You get caught, you're between a rock, hard place and J.D. Hogg.

Yeah, we ain't likely to forget that.

- Bo. - Sorry.

Except for this black paint job, it looks the one Enos was after.

- It's a wet paint job, too. - What?

Don't you believe me? Look over here.

Hey, Bo, come here a minute. Shine that light over here.

"J.D. Hogg Auto Parts."

Reckon we ought to call the state police now?

They need a warrant. By the time they got here all this stuff

would be gone. We gotta catch these guys in the act.

- I hear you! - Get down.

I know you're in here somewhere.

We're supposed to catch them in the act.

Now, I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'm gonna shoot.

One..

Two..

Y'all cheer up.

He looks like he don't know what number comes next.

Three!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Well, kitty, whoever they were, they didn't get nothing.

Boss was burning the midnight oil too

ordering another truckload of auto parts.

Only this time, the price went up.

Seventeen thousand five hundred smackers?

I tell you, that's highway robbery.

Oh, alright, you got me. What else can I do?

I'll send a messenger over with the money in the morning.

Yeah. Oh, I just..

- Oh, Rosco. - It's highway robbery.

- I just said that. - I knew I heard it some place.

- Would you wake up? - I'm wore to a nub. It's late.

Listen, this is all your fault, because you lost them Dukes..

Right when they was headed for my truck with stolen auto parts.

I mean, how could you let a house get in your way?

- Well, it's a big house. - Yeah, it's also one of mine.

Alright, tomorrow, I'm gonna figure out what you owe me.

Tomorrow I'm also gonna have to figure out..

Some way of getting Cooter to confess..

Where him and the Dukes stashed my goods.

- Oh, Rosco! You hear me? - Well, yes.

I said, I gotta find a way to get Cooter to confess.

- Beat him with a rubber hose. - Huh?

- Or a synthetic hose. - Huh!

You know, that is not called police brutality.

No, I'll tell you what is called police brutality.

- What? - Having to work with you.

Had evidence all over the place but I can't see it doin' good.

I think Luke's right. We gotta catch them fellas in the act.

- You got any ideas how? - With Cooter in for hijacking..

- They won't make a hit. - That's for sure.

It's been in all the newspapers. They're bound to have seen it.

We have to bust him out.

If he's free, those crooks are gonna figure any job they pull..

They're gonna be able to put the blame him.

I ain't so sure that Cooter's of a mind to be busted out.

We'll just have to change his mind, then, won't we?

Isn't Enos guarding Cooter too?

You've always been able to take care of Enos pretty well.

- Oh, boy. - You got something for me?

Cooter's where he is because of me.

You know, Jonas, considering the present situation..

I think it best to stay here at the farm.

Bo may be right.

Here's the plan. Here's what I got in mind.

The next morning, while Enos shared breakfast with Cooter

and Boss was sending cash money to Capitol City Distributors

for his shipment of auto parts..

And Rosco was on his way to relieve Enos

Daisy was ready to make the first move

in Luke's plan to spring Cooter.

Bo and Luke were already in place.

And Uncle Jesse was driving to Capitol City.

But his part in Luke's plan comes later.

Hazzard Two, come in, please.

Enos, are you out there? This is Daisy.

Excuse me, Cooter.

Good morning, Daisy.

Daisy told Enos she was having car trouble and needed help.

She said she couldn't reach any Dukes, and Cooter in jail..

Would Enos help her out? Is a pig's tail pork?

I'll be right there. Over and out.

Cooter, go ahead and drink my buttermilk and finish up.

I gotta go help Daisy. She's calling for me. Bye.

I think I'll pass on that buttermilk there, Enos.

Y'all are about to see a rare sight.

A reluctant jailbreak.

Hey, wait. Hold it, hold it. No, no, no.

I don't know what y'all up to, but I ain't buying it.

We know why you did what you did.

We found your friend Jonas. We talked to him.

He told us everything how he saved your life.

Look, we got a plan to catch them hijackers red-handed

but it won't work with you cooling your heels in jail.

All I know is, as long as I'm in here, Jonas is safe.

Cooter, that ain't exactly true. Jonas is holed up at our farm.

'He said if we don't bring you back with us'

'he's turning himself in. You know what that means.'

The truth will be out sooner or later

and it'll be worse for both of ya.

The only way you can help Jonas out is to come with us, okay?

We ain't seeing you go to prison for something you didn't do.

I hear you, but what difference will busting me out make?

Listen, when them hijackers find out you've escaped

- they'll open business again. - We'll catch them in the act.

All we need is one more hijack and we'll be home free.

Too-ho-ho!

Shame, shame, shame, everybody knows your name.

Well, if it isn't the escapees and the escapers.

Alright, I'm serious this time. Get in that jail. Back in there.

- Get in there. - Alright.

Rosco, we're having trouble with this door. It seems stuck.

Oh, you don't think I'm falling for that, it's not st..

Hold that. I'll show you it's not..

- See there, it's not stuck. - Look at that.

I greased that thing clear way back here to the back.

- Must be experienced, this guy. - Wait a minute. Don't do that.

See, that's a no-no. Wait.

- Put your gun in the drawer. - Come back here.

- Freeze. - Sure glad it ain't stuck.

Freeze.

This thing's off.

- You got a loose coil wire. - Oh, that's it?

- Yeah, that's all. - My goodness.

- Good as new, Daisy. - Enos, thank you.

Enos got Daisy's Jeep fixed and he got a reward for doing it.

But that wasn't all he got.

What in the name of all that's holy are you doing out here?

Well, Daisy's car broke down and with Cooter in jail and all...

Oh, Cooter, the jail.

Listen, look. Get in your car, and follow me back to the jail.

And you better hope that what I think could be happening, ain't.

Come on.

Enos do tend to lose concentration.

Luke explained his plan to Cooter.

I really owe him an apology for not introducing him to y'all..

And getting some of Uncle Jesse's crawdad bisque.

Well, facing prison in his place would be apology enough.

Speaking of prison, y'all kind of got your necks stuck here.

What are friends for? You'd do the same for us. We know that.

Speaking of risk, if there's any gonna be taken on this

I wanna be in the middle of it.

We wouldn't want you to miss out on all the fun.

Boss, I can tell you're-you're a little upset.

Oh, you can tell, huh? Well, I'm more than a little upset!

I mean, Enos, you let them Dukes hoodwink you.

And you went along with this whole thing. You let it happen.

I'm madder than a long haired dog in a tub of fleas.

Oh, listen, I've got some news. Good news.

Give you a quiver in your fat little liver.

- Well, what's that? - I happen to know for a fact..

That the Dukes are planning another hijacking.

They are? Well, how do you know?

I heard Bo say, and I quote, I've written it down here..

Let's see. "Just one more hijacking and we're home free."

That "one more hijacking" will most likely gonna be auto parts.

I had to order again last night.

- Mr. Hogg, I don't think... - That's right, you don't think.

Rosco, I want you and Enos to get yourselves up on Eagle Pass.

When you spot the General Lee moving in on that truck..

You snap 'em up!

- We'll just snap 'em! - What with that jailbreak..

And this attempted hijacking..

I won't be bothered by the Dukes or Cooter..

Till I'm old enough to be my own grandpa.

- That's good news. - Alright, come on. Let's go.

Wait, wait. There's a flaw in the slaw.

If you let me out of this cell, it would speed things up a bit.

- Oh, of course. - He's still in jail, Mr. Hogg.

- Let him out, will ya? - Yes, get me out of here.

Once Cooter was out, it was Jesse's move.

That old moonshiner has to tell the truth even while scamming.

Dadgummit!

Can you believe that?

- You alright, old man? - What?

- I say, you alright? - Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

- The law ain't alright. - What are you talking about?

You know that hijacker they had in jail over there in Hazzard?

He just busted out, and they ain't doing nothing about it.

It's getting so it ain't safe to jog in the streets no more.

- Give me a hand. - Sure, I'll help you out.

Thank you.

'You hear that, Bart?'

Looks like we might be back in business.

'Shepherd to Lost Sheep. Shepherd to Lost Sheep.'

Jesse told Luke what he had heard and seen.

Luke's plan was still right on schedule.

Thanks, Cooter.

Which one of these trucks you wanna apply for that job with?

- The fast one. - This looks like a fast one.

What do you say, Flossie, how much for this for a couple days?

Just for you, $20. If you bring her back in good shape.

We'll change the oil in here.

We'll get the paperwork when we come back.

- Drive safe, Luke. - You got it.

The Dukes rented a truck.

Now, what Luke had to do now was to drive it..

To Capitol City Distributing Company..

And get himself a job hauling.

Luke was gonna be the bait.

But the Dukes didn't know that they wasn't

the only ones that had a plan.

Following old Boss' orders, Rosco and Enos were in place.

Boy, it's getting dark earlier.

- It's just... - You got the covers on.

- What? - You got the covers on.

I know the covers were on.

- Let me have that. - Yes, sir.

Anybody that can see with them off is just..

- Don't touch my equipment. - Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Come here, Bart. How many of these you got?

Luke didn't have too much trouble getting the job..

Since he was the first trucker to apply.

- Job still open? - Job's yours, partner.

- Name's Luke Duke. - Nice to meet you, Mr. Duke.

Now this load here goes to a J.D. Hogg in Hazzard.

- Bart here will help you load. - Hey, Bart. Name's Luke.

So far so good.

Yeah, Daisy ought to be along any minute now.

Uncle Jesse, if we don't find them hijackers on the road..

Y'all could be in for a lot of trouble.

You two go on. Daisy and me will handle everything from this end.

You just make sure nothing happens to Luke, you hear?

We will, Uncle Jesse.

There you are.

Take Route 7 to Peach Tree Lane, leads you right into Hazzard.

Yes, sir.

From what Jonas had told him..

Luke knew that Ruth and Bart weren't just taking a joyride.

They'd be waiting to hijack Luke.

Good luck, Uncle Jesse.

Get on the road.

Oh, oh. Good. Good, good, good. There are the Dukes and Cooter.

They're getting ready to strike. Come on. Hot pursuit.

Come on, get in your vehicle. It's hot pursuit time.

I love this. I wish Flash was here.

Well, he should be here about now. Get set.

Okay.

I can see that lady with the hood up, just like Jonas said.

I'm gonna pull over.

Okay, Bart.

I'm heading for the car right now.

'Wait a minute, then come a-calling. Okay.'

Enos, this is Rosco. Okay, we'll use the old pincer movement.

'You go on one fork, and I'll go on the other. Ha-ha.'

Oh, great.

- What seems to be the problem? - Well, it-it just quit on me.

Alright, buster, what's going on here?

Shoot. I'd turn my back on her too.

Try it again.

She ain't gonna crank. Luke's got a hold of the coil wire.

Alright, Bo. You and Cooter out of there. Don't you see?

- We ain't got time for this. - Oh, hush. Hush.

Come on with me.

- Alright, now, where's Luke? - Rosco, for crying out loud..

Okay, listen. If you want Luke, we'll take you to him, okay?

- Alright. - Alright, just-just follow us.

Follow us, Enos.

Cooter, I'd hang on if I was you.

Hey! Wait a minute!

I'm gonna try that..

The next time I can't find a place to park.

Sheriff!

Luke?

Hey.

- What happened? You alright? - Oh!

- No. - What happened?

- I'll tell you in the car. - Here, come on.

At least that'll work.

Get on in there.

I got hit by a dang girl.

Again? Luke, what in the heck did you do this time?

So I knocked the driver out, but we had to abandon the car.

You two get back here as soon as you can. Out.

Oh, Uncle Jesse, it sounds like Luke's really in trouble.

Ain't nothing gonna happen to Luke.

Not as long as Bo and Cooter are tagging along.

It's a pretty girl every time, Luke.

You're swelling like goose egg. Boy, she laid a hurtin' on you.

I'll feel a lot better when we catch that truck.

You know, with the lead they got, we'd be a lot better off

if we take the shortcut over that railroad crossing.

Yeah, I think you're right. Alright, Luke.

Boss called Rosco to pick him up for the chase.

Besides that, he'd already eaten everything in the fridge.

Boss, the way I figure it, Luke he hijacked the truck, right?

- Yeah, yeah. - Bo and Cooter were riding..

Shotgun for him when I stopped the General.

Yeah, well, for once I agree with you.

Alright, let's see. You said they was headed down Route 11..

- When you let them get away. - Right.

- That's where we're headed. - Listen. Wait a minute.

You know, if I cut down Cherry Lane, I can save us five miles.

Yeah, and your job as sheriff, if you catch 'em.

- There's Cherry Lane. - Yeah, that's it.

Wait a minute. Slow down, or you'll never make the turn.

Boss, I'll never say "never" again.

Never.

Yeah, up ahead now. We got them now.

- Shoot. - That train is 10 miles long.

'Well, I'm gonna go back and get a better run at it.'

You alright, Cooter?

Well, I think y'all ought to keep a pillow here.

Yeah, I think we ought to keep one up here too.

Let me have him.

'Yeah, get him good.'

Bo!

Boy, I wouldn't try that with a woman driving.

Hold it.

- Hijacking's against the law. - You got that right.

- Now out of the truck. - Come on.

John, they caught us. The driver we hired just...

Going somewhere?

He sure is, Uncle Jesse. Straight to jail.

Get your hands up. Higher.

- Nice going, Cooter. - Yeah, same to ya.

- We got them. - Here's old slugger.

Now, what about the other one?

Figure Uncle Jesse and Daisy got him under control.

Them hijackers got locked up. And Flash had to guard them..

Because when Boss found out..

His truck of auto parts was impounded for evidence..

He ordered another truckload from an honest distributor.

Cash money in advance again.

Well, Cooter, I don't rightly know how to thank you.

Hey, you know, that is exactly what I said to him..

When he pulled me out of that fire out there in Oklahoma.

You just make a good life for yourself..

That'll be plenty thanks.

You Dukes are something else, what you did for a stranger.

- Well, that ain't right. - Right, you ain't no stranger.

Yeah, Uncle Jesse has a saying about it.

The way we figure, a stranger is just a friend we've never met.

Been interesting.

You know, someone oughta write a country song about that.

But I can't think of a word that rhymes with Hazzard.
