The police, now with the Indiana and Illinois state troopers replaced by the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Kentucky State Police, and including Sharkey County deputies along with the FBI, catch up with the band at a tent revival, where Elwood's old friend, Reverend Cleophus James, is preaching. Buster inspires Elwood to give an impassioned speech defending blues music, and the band relents, accompanying him again - save Blue Lou, who, in a rare show of intelligence, goes to refuel the Bluesmobile. However, en route to the next concert, the Bluesmobile runs out of fuel and the band threatens to quit, with Elwood acknowledging defeat. Afterwards, they evade capture by the police and an assassination attempt by the Russians. The band arrives at the show to find they have been mistakenly booked as a Bluegrass Band, but they perform anyway.

While avoiding a police roadblock that now includes Kentucky State Police units, Elwood interrupts a white supremacist militia group meeting, unintentionally destroying their boat full of explosives they planned to use. En route to the show, Cabel and the Illinois and Indiana state police services follow them, now looking for Elwood for stealing Cabel's wallet earlier, and believing that he has kidnapped Buster.
The newly reformed band uses their old agent, Maury Sline, to book them a show. Three members ( Steve "The Colonel" Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn and Tom "Bones" Malone) work at a radio station and quickly agree to join, Alan "Mr Fabulous" Rubin (currently a funeral director) is forced to join against his will after Elwood again insults the Russian mafia (for whom Mr Fabulous has organized a funeral), and finally Murphy Dunne joins after his boss at a call center gives him permission. Two other members, Matt "Guitar" Murphy and "Blue" Lou Marini, join again against the advice of Murphy's wife, with whom they now run a Mercedes-Benz car dealership. Willie joins after the Russian mafia burns down his strip club, but not before Elwood enlists the help of Willie's barman, "Mighty" Mack McTeer, to try to convince them to leave the club alone Mack becomes the band's new lead singer. Cabel, upset by the news about his paternity and offended by the suggestion to join him after learning of Elwood's and Jake's criminal history, throws him out of the building, but Buster steals his wallet, containing enough money for Elwood to purchase a new Bluesmobile at a police surplus lot - similar to its predecessor, the new Bluesmobile is a police car, this one a 1990 Ford "Crown Vic".Įlwood and Buster begin tracking down members of the former band to recruit them from their current jobs. She also introduces Elwood to a ten-year-old orphan, Buster, and encourages him to mentor the boy.Īgainst Stigmata's advice, Elwood tracks down Cabel at the police headquarters, to inform him of his real father, and to ask him to join The Blues Brothers Band, which he plans on reforming. She informs him that Curtis, his surrogate father, has also died, but that he had years ago fathered an illegitimate son, Cabel Chamberlain, who is now an Illinois State Police commander.
Willie hires Elwood to help him recover.īefore meeting up with Willie, Elwood asks to be dropped off to see his surrogate mother figure, nun Mother Mary "The Penguin" Stigmata, who is now working at a hospital after the St Helen of the Blessed Shroud Orphanage, where Jake and Elwood were raised, closed, despite Jake and Elwood supposedly saving it. As the warden informs Elwood of the tragic news, he is picked up by Matara, a dancer who works for the Blues Brothers' former drummer Willie Hall, who now runs a nightclub. Elwood Blues is released from prison after serving eighteen years for the events of the previous film and stands outside waiting for his brother "Joliet" Jake Blues for 24 hours before the warden realizes that nobody has informed Elwood that his brother has died.
