As Garrett and Roy got to the top of the hill that looks down at still site number four, Garrett and Roy see the two deputies struggling their way down to the bottom where the Dukes and everyone stand. "We gotta hurry," Garrett states, holding the tape and tape player in his hands and motions Roy over by some large trees.
"OK Bo and Luke, Ernie and Bill," Deputy Cletus states loudly before seeing Daisy, who is sitting on a log with Jesse hugging her. "What's wrong with her?"
"She saw your ugly face and she fainted," Luke rolls his eyes at the deputy.
"Now Luke," Deputy Enos states, "that's not too nice."
"Well neither are either one of you!" Bo yells, pointing at them, "Bill and Ernie came to race in Hogg's race, to support this community, and this is the respect that you all give them?! It's one thing to be throwing false accusations at Luke and I. But now, y'all have come too far!"
Enos and Cletus looks at them as they approach them. "I hear ya loud and clear, Bo," Deputy Enos states sympathetically, "but we are just following orders that we have to follow. The sheriff got evidence that y'all got the money. And. . .and I'm sorry -"
"Stop apologizing to criminals," Cletus snaps at Enos. "Bo and Luke Duke. Ernie and Bill Elliott. You all are under arrest for stealing Commissioner Hogg's money and for hiding fugitives!"
"You know we and them did no such thing!" Bo yells angrily and takes a step threatenly towards them for Luke to throw his arm in front of his chest to stop him.
"We're just following orders," Enos reminds them.
"You don't have no evidence any of us did such a thing," Luke chimes in.
"Cousin Boss says that don't matter. He will deal with you all at the jail," Cletus responds, "now I need all four of you to turn around and put your hands behind your head. Nice and easy, now."
Meanwhile Roy and Garrett quietly get to the bottom un noticed as everyone's attention is upon each other and all that is going on. "What?" Roy whispers as Garrett gives an evil grin and Garrett raises the tape recorder in his hands.
Garrett turns the volume way high before pushing play.
"What are we doing in these here caves, Boss?" Rosco says loudly through the player and everyone instantly stops and turns towards them.
"What you think, numbskull?" Boss' responds over the tape "We are hiding out until Cousin Cletus and Deputy Enos arrest Bill, his crooked crew chief, and the entire Duke clan!" Boss laughs smugly. "I can see it now, Rosco. The headlines will read: NASCAR legend Bill Elliot and his crew chief are behind bars for stealing money from a small local town that was already struggling to survive!" More laughter erupts. "Meanwhile, they will get locked up in Atlanta with the Dukes. Bill and his crew chief will probably get bailed out, but their names will be mud after this. No one will pay to see crooks like them race until they are sentenced for twenty years. The Dukes will be in jail from here on out until they are released in twenty years." More laughter, "Life will be magical, Rosco!"
With that Garrett turns the recorder off as they reach everyone at the still site. "Um. . .um Garrett. Roy, " Deputy Enos stutters, "what you got there?"
"Rock hard evidence, Deputy, that Bill and Ernie stole no money and Hogg is being his greedy self," Garrett hisses at the deputy who attempts to take it from him only to yank it away from him, "I think you all need to reconsider what you are doing here."
Enos and Cletus both look at each other and then at Garrett and Roy. "I . . .I think we need to call this in," Cletus responds walking to the car just as Rosco pulls up besides their patrol car. As Rosco stiffly steps out of the patrol car, Cletus states, "Garrett Duke has Boss and you recorded saying they didn't steal no money."
"Does he, now he?" Rosco asks as they walk back to where they are at and Garrett rewinds the tape and replays that part for Rosco.
"There's more, but we can save that for later," Garrett dryly responds as he stops the tape. "Bill and Ernie brought y'all money, competition, and a crowd for that race and y'all played them dirty. You can drop the charges now and apologize."
"You hush Garrett!" Rosco yells as he eyes everyone suspiciously. "You are under arrest for spying on the sheriff and the commissioner!"
"You do you, Rosco," Garrett dryly grins at him as he hands Roy the tape recorder and motions him towards Luke. Roy nods and quickly walks over and hands the tape and recorder to Luke who thanks him.
"Turn around, put your hands above your head. You are going back to Atlanta where you belong," Rosco hisses and Garrett cooperates and Rosco tightly handcuffs Garrett's hands behind his back, "You're not getting out of it this time, Duke!" Rosco hisses in his ear before he reads him his rights and shoves him towards his patrol car. Garrett reminds silent as he allows Rosco to shove him in the back before he begins to drive off, sirens wailing.
