Getting Help: Prologue:
Jesse Duke was worried about his nephews, his boys that he loved, and he hopes that Phil Ackley, Luke's ex-Marine buddy, won't do anything to hurt them, and he hopes that if he does exactly what Phil wants, he will return Bo and Luke in one piece, he decided to get some help, and he smiled as some names came to mind, and he went to tell Anita, Luke's wife and Daisy what he has in mind.
Daisy was busy doing dishes, like always, and Anita was busy helping her by drying them, and suddenly Daisy broke down and shed some tears, and Anita comforted her while she was shedding her own tears, and Daisy said crying, "I am sorry, Anita, I can't help it, I am so worried about the boys, and the condition they are in", and Anita said, "No need to apologize, I am worried too, but Uncle Jesse said we have to make it appear that we are doing our routines, and if we do something different, the boys could get hurt, or worse, they can get killed", and Daisy nodded, and dried her eyes, and said, "I know, I know, I just hope that they are ok", and Anita dried her eyes too, and said, "Me too", and they heard Jesse come into the Kitchen, and he said in a suggestion, "We should bring in Rosco, and his Deputies, and we should bring in Cooter, and Bubba in this, they are our only chance of getting the boys back safe and sound", and the girls agreed.
Bubba and Bertha Jo were helping at Cooter's Garage, and all of sudden Cooter dropped a wrench, and cursed loudly, "Damnit!" and Bertha Jo said, "It's ok, Cooter, we all can't focus today, we are worried about Bo and Luke, and that they are in the hands of that sick bastard", and Cooter nodded sadly, and he knew that the Deputy was right, he was worried about his best friends, and he said, "I wish there was something we can do", and Bubba, Bertha Jo's husband, said, "Jesse would let us know if there is", and Bertha Jo said adding, "Let's get back to work, Guys, Bo and Luke doesn't want us to lose the Garage too, on top of these problems", and the two men nodded, and they all went back to work.
The Dukes went to the Garage and found their friends, like they suspected, and Jesse asked them pleadingly, "Can you help us? I don't know we are gonna pull this off, I am desperate to get my boys back, and I am willing to do anything to make that happen", and Cooter, Bertha Jo, and Bubba looked at each other, and back at the Dukes, Cooter said, "Count me in, Uncle Jesse, I love those boys like they were my own kin", and Bubba said, "They helped me out of a lot of jams, so I would like to pay them back", and Bertha Jo said, "We grew up together, and they always included me in everything they did, and they protected me and Daisy, so I am always grateful for them, so I am in too", and the Dukes were emotional, and Jesse said, "Thank you so much, Guys, I am never gonna forget this", and Daisy said, "That goes double for me too", and Anita said, "You are the best", and they hugged their friends, and helped them finish their work, and they went back to the Duke Farm to make out a plan.
