Vernon recommends that all the stiller and transporters in the county be contacted and their stills be relocated, and that the transport cars and routes be changed to avoid Kogan's encroachment. Later, after Luke departs on another delivery, a church service is held for the ambushed driver while a meeting of the county moonshiners is held in the church basement. Luke rejects Kogan's demand for a percentage of their profits and control over their operation. When Luke relays the news to his father Vernon, the older man suspects that the ambush was set up by racketeer Carl Kogan, who controls most of the moonshine counties in Tennessee and Kentucky and has proposed to organize Harlan County. The next day, Roxie telephones the Doolins to report that a local liquor transporter was killed in an ambush.
A little later, neighbor Roxanna "Roxie" Ledbetter stops at the Doolins' to invite Luke to an upcoming dance, but Luke declines, as he will be on another delivery run. Upon returning to his home in a country valley, Luke has his younger brother Robin repair the damage done to his car during the escape. In the back woods of Harlan County, Tennessee, Korean war veteran and moonshine runner Lucas Doolin evades arrest by agents of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Treasury Department, led by Troy Barrett.
