Have Gun - Will Travel (1957–1963): Season 2, Episode 16 - The Wager - full transcript
A wealthy patron's request for Paladin's guardianship may end differently than expected with gambling involved--gambling with the highest of stakes.
AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, WHEN
YOU TWO REALLY GET THIRSTY,
DON'T LOOK BACK TO FIND
ME, LOOK UP ABOVE YOU.
THE BUZZARDS WILL TELL
YOU HOW NEAR THE END IS.
HMM!
[GUNSHOT, GLASS SHATTERS]
GET DOWN!
GET AWAY FROM THAT WINDOW!
YOU ARE HURT? I'M ALL RIGHT.
DID YOU SEE ANYONE?
MUST'VE COME FROM THOSE
ROOFS ACROSS THE STREET.
I SEND FOR POLICE?
HEY BOY, BY ALL MEANS,
YOU SEND FOR POLICE.
HERE, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MY NAME IS MORGAN. SID MORGAN.
MY NAME IS PALADIN,
AND I MAY BE ABLE TO BE OF
SOME FURTHER SERVICE TO YOU.
MAYBE WE'D BETTER
HAVE A LITTLE TALK.
ALL RIGHT, SIR.
SO YOU SEE, MR. PALADIN,
DANBURY AND HIS COMBINE WANT TO
BUY MY RAILROAD INTEREST AT ANY COST.
AND DANBURY IS THE KIND OF A MAN THAT
GETS WHATEVER HE WANTS NO MATTER HOW.
WITNESS,
THIS IS THE THIRD
ATTEMPT ON MY LIFE.
THREE MISSES AND THREE ATTEMPTS.
THAT'S NOT A VERY GOOD AVERAGE.
PERHAPS THEY'RE TRYING TO
FRIGHTEN YOU INTO SELLING.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT AT FIRST.
THE FIRST TWO TIMES, BUT NOW...
MR. PALADIN.
MY FIANC E AND I ARE LEAVING
FOR SILVER CITY IN THE MORNING.
I'LL PAY YOU WHATEVER
YOU THINK IT'S WORTH
TO SEE THAT I GET THERE ALIVE.
WELL, I THINK $1,000
SHOULD COVER IT.
DONE.
ALL RIGHT.
[GASPS]
IT'S ALL RIGHT. THERE, NOW.
HERE, IT'S HARMLESS.
IT'S A HORN TOAD.
IT WON'T HURT
YOU. HERE, TAKE IT.
THERE NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU REFRESH
YOURSELF BY THE SPRING?
EXCUSE ME.
HE IS KIND OF CUTE.
I THINK STACY LIKES YOU.
I'M NOT HARD TO GET ALONG WITH.
STACY LIKES TO PLAY GAMES.
THINKS IT MAKES ME JEALOUS.
THAT'S ALL IT IS, GAMES.
AT HEART, STACY'S
A BUSINESS WOMAN.
THAT'S WHY I TRUST
HER ENOUGH TO MARRY.
CONGRATULATIONS.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?
HOW LONG HAS HE
BEEN HERE? NOT LONG.
NEVER MIND THE HORSES.
STACY.
COME ON.
ROUGH AND READY, STRAIGHT
AHEAD, GO ON INTO TOWN.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?
YES, YOU CAN GIVE
ME SOME INFORMATION.
LIKE WHO YOU ARE, WHERE
YOU'RE GOING AND WHY.
THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION
TO GIVE TO A STRANGER.
MY NAME IS PALADIN.
YOU'RE STILL A STRANGER TO ME,
BUT I DON'T MIND TELLING
YOU. I'M HOWARD GORMAN.
WELL, NOW I'VE HEARD OF
YOU. TWELVE MEN, ISN'T IT?
YEAH.
MAYBE I BETTER START THINKING
ABOUT ADDING THAT LUCKY THIRTEENTH.
MR. GORMAN, WHY ARE
YOU FOLLOWING US?
WHY'D ANYONE WANT TO FOLLOW YOU?
I'LL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT
WHEN I HAVE THE ANSWERS
TO MY OTHER QUESTIONS.
GORMAN.
ABOUT THAT LUCKY 13.
THERE'S A LEGEND THAT WHEN THE
WORLD BEGAN, THERE WERE 13 GODS.
ONLY 12 OF THEM WERE
AQUATINTED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
SO TO LEARN THE STRANGER'S
IDENTITY, THEY INVITED HIM TO A BANQUET.
AND, TO THEIR EVERLASTING
SORROW, HE CAME.
THE THIRTEENTH GOD WAS DEATH.
OUR FRIEND LOOKS LIKE
HE MIGHT KNOW HOW TO
HANDLE THAT GUN HE'S WEARING.
HE DOES.
I'M SURE DANBURY HIRED HIM.
OTHERWISE, WHY WOULD
HE HAVE FOLLOWED US?
DON'T WORRY,
MR. MORGAN, YOU'RE SAFE.
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
HE PROBABLY WORKS
FOR THE COMBINE.
PALADIN. STAND UP.
MORGAN. GET HER OUT OF HERE.
MR. GORMAN, YOU'RE
MAKING A MISTAKE.
YOU GONNA STAND UP?
NO, I THINK I'D RATHER
FINISH MY DINNER.
IT'S FINISHED.
VERY WELL, SIR.
WE'LL HAVE IT YOUR WAY.
NUMBER 13, PALADIN.
NOW WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
I'M AN AGENT FOR MR. DANBURY.
HE'S CHANGED HIS MIND
ABOUT BUYING MR. MORGAN OUT.
I TRIED TO STOP GORMAN.
I TOLD HIM HE'D GET HIS MONEY
ANYWAY, BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME.
WHOEVER YOU ARE, MISTER,
YOU DID US ALL A GREAT FAVOR.
GORMAN WAS A KILLER.
ALL OF YOU SAW IT.
IT WAS A FAIR
FIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT.
THE DEAD MAN DREW FIRST.
YOU'VE BEEN TOO MODEST
ABOUT YOUR TALENTS, MR. PALADIN.
IF WE'D HAD ANY IDEA
THAT YOU WERE THIS GOOD...
STACY, GO TO YOUR ROOM. I HAVE
SOME BUSINESS WITH MR. PALADIN.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
YOU GONNA TRY TO
TALK HIM OUT OF HIS FEE...
SHUT UP!
I CAN ALWAYS THROW YOU
RIGHT BACK WHERE I GOT YOU.
IT'S TOO BAD, PALADIN.
YOU'RE QUITE A MAN.
IT'S TOO BAD YOU CAN'T USE YOUR
HEAD AS WELL AS YOU DO YOUR GUN.
YOUR FEE, MR. PALADIN.
YOU'RE A VERY GENEROUS MAN.
NOT GENEROUS, RICH.
IT WON'T BE NECESSARY FOR
YOU TO GO TO SILVER CITY WITH US.
GORMAN'S DEAD.
THE DANGER'S OVER.
WHAT ABOUT THE SHOT IN SAN
FRANCISCO? WHAT ABOUT IT?
IF GORMAN FIRED IT, HE
WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED.
UNLESS HE HAD SOME
REASON FOR MISSING.
IT'S DONE.
THIS FINISHES IT.
GOOD NIGHT, MR. PALADIN.
GIVE ME A WHISKEY.
BARTENDER.
OFT TIMES THE FRUIT OF THE VINE WILL
LEND SURCEASE TO THE PAIN OF THE MIND.
OR THE PAIN OF A
PUNCHED-IN FACE.
YOU KNOW, HE'S QUITE A MAN
WITH HIS FISTS AROUND WOMEN.
I'M LEAVIN' HIM.
JUST AS SOON AS I CAN
GET SOME PLACE SO I CAN.
THEN I'LL START LOOKIN' AGAIN.
I'D LIKE TO FIND SOMEBODY
ELSE RICH ENOUGH TO MARRY.
HOW'S PICKINGS IN SAN FRANCISCO?
WELL, I DON'T THINK
YOU'LL HAVE ANY TROUBLE.
IT'S NEVER ANY TROUBLE AT FIRST.
IT'S TOO BAD THAT
YOU'RE NOT RICH.
I LIKE YOU.
LET ME GET YOU
SOMETHING FOR THAT... NO!
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THE THINGS THAT HE DOES,
AND HE GETS AWAY WITH IT.
TELLIN' YOU THAT HE'D NEVER
SEEN SHAWCROSS BEFORE.
THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY.
OH?
HE'S HIS BUSINESS PARTNER.
HE HAS BEEN FOR
YEARS. HE STILL IS.
WHAT ABOUT GORMAN?
HIRED GUN. JUST LIKE YOU.
SHAWCROSS PAID HIM TO KILL YOU.
IT WAS A BET.
A BET?
THAT'S INSANE.
I WON'T ARGUE WITH
YOU, BUT I KNEW ABOUT IT.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EXCITING.
IT WAS.
AND TWO MEN SHOT IT OUT.
AND ONE OF THEM WAS
KILLED. AND FOR WHAT?
FOR AN EVENING'S ENTERTAINMENT.
YOU CAN'T STOP THEM. IT'S OVER.
THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
WRONG. THEY DIDN'T BREAK THE LAW.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING THINGS LIKE THIS
FOR YEARS, AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
STACY!
GET UP TO YOUR ROOM.
I WAS VERY INTERESTED
IN WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY.
YOU'VE GOT NO COMPLAINT.
YOU'RE WELL PAID.
FOR WHAT?
FOR KILLING A MAN IN A SIDESHOW?
YOU GET UP TO YOUR ROOM.
MR. MORGAN, YOU'VE GOT A GUN.
DRAW IT!
NO!
I'VE GOT NO REASON TO
DRAW ON YOU, MR. PALADIN.
YOU'VE GOT AN EXCUSE
NOW! DRAW THE GUN!
I'M NOT GONNA DRAW
ON YOU, PALADIN,
GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE TO KILL ME.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
SHOOT ME IN COLD BLOOD.
COMMIT A REAL MURDER.
COME ON, STACY.
STACY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO WITH HIM.
HE'D FIND ME AGAIN,
SOONER OR LATER.
IT'S NO USE, PALADIN.
HE'LL GO ON AND ON.
PEOPLE WILL BE
HURT AND WILL DIE,
BUT NOTHING CAN STOP HIM.
MISS NEAL COME DOWN YET?
COME DOWN? I GUESS SHE HAS.
ALL OF THEM DID.
LEFT IN A BUCKBOARD
TWO OR THREE HOURS AGO.
ALL OF THEM?
WELL, IT WAS THAT
LADY, LIKE I SAID.
THEN MR. MORGAN AND
THAT MR. SHAWCROSS.
I SEE.
THIS WILL COVER WHAT
I OWE YOU. THANKS.
THANK YOU.
STACY.
STACY. COME HERE.
HERE, STACY.
COME ON NOW, TAKE
SOME MORE. COME ON.
STACY, THEY'RE JUST
GOING AROUND THIS POINT.
BRING THIS HORSE ON IN SLOWLY.
HOLD IT!
RIGHT WHERE YOU
ARE, BOTH OF YOU!
NOW DON'T BE HASTY, MR. PALADIN.
JUST YOU GIVE YOU
ME ONE SLIGHT EXCUSE,
EITHER ONE OF YOU.
STACY!
NOW, MORGAN, YOU
HAND HER YOUR BILLFOLD.
GIVE IT TO HER.
STACY, TAKE MY HORSE
INTO ROUGH AND READY.
USE WHATEVER'S IN THAT BILLFOLD AND
TAKE A STAGE WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO.
GO ON, IT'S A LONG HOT TRIP.
STACY.
GOODBYE, AND GOOD LUCK.
NOW MOVE OUT.
PALADIN, YOU'RE A SMART
MAN, IF IT'S MONEY YOU WANT...
GIDDYUP.
PALADIN.
YOU TWO GENTLEMEN HAVE BEEN
UNTOUCHED BY ANY LAW FOR SO LONG
THAT YOU'VE BECOME DANGEROUS
FUGITIVES FROM JUSTICE.
I WONDER IF YOU REALLY
ARE BEYOND ANY RETRIBUTION.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU'RE 30
MILES DUE WEST OF SILVER CITY.
IT'S ABOUT A THREE-DAY WALK,
AND YOU'D BETTER GET STARTED.
WALK? I'LL TAKE YOUR
GUN, MR. MORGAN.
NOW YOURS, MR. SHAWCROSS.
YOU WERE WILLING TO LET A
LONE WOMAN WITHOUT ANY WATER
TRY TO WALK 30 MILES
ACROSS THE DESERT.
I'VE MADE MYSELF A BET THAT TWO
MEN CARRYING WATER COULD MAKE IT.
NOW GET DOWN.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARY.
IT S THE SAME AS MURDER.
I'M SURE YOU ARE MUCH BETTER
QUALIFIED TO DEFINE MURDER THAN I AM.
NOW GET DOWN. GET OUT OF THERE!
AND GOOD DAY TO YOU, TOO.
PALADIN, WAIT!
WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE HE'S UP TO?
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, MAY AS WELL GET GOING.
HE'S FOLLOWING.
FIRST CHANCE WE GET, WE'LL
FIGURE SOME WAY TO JUMP HIM.
EVERY TIME I LOOK BACK,
HE'S TAKING ANOTHER DRINK.
[BUZZARDS SQUAWKING]
I'VE GOT TO HAVE WATER.
JUST ONE SWALLOW.
ALL RIGHT. JUST ONE SWALLOW.
NOW I CAN WAIT. YOU
OWE ME ONE SWALLOW.
YOU DRANK IT ALL!
[BUZZARDS SQUAWKING]
GENTLEMEN, YOU SHOULD'VE
NURSED YOUR WATER BETTER.
BUT YOU HAD TO
INDULGE YOURSELVES.
WELL, THERE'S NO SENSE
IN BOTH OF YOU DYING.
HERE.
JUST WATER. NOT MUCH, BUT SOME.
I'M OWED ONE SWALLOW.
ONE SWALLOW'S
MINE. YOU'LL GET IT.
I GET A SWALLOW.
ALL RIGHT, MORGAN.
NOW CARRY SHAWCROSS BACK
OVER HERE TO THE BUCKBOARD.
HE'S DEAD.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
WE'LL NEED THE BODY ANYWAY.
THIS TIME YOU'RE
NOT BEYOND THE LAW.
I'M TAKING YOU BACK TO
STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
YOU COME NEAR
ME AND I'LL KILL YOU.

NO!
I'VE GOT NO REASON TO
DRAW ON YOU, MR. PALADIN.
YOU'VE GOT AN EXCUSE

I'M NOT GONNA DRAW

GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE TO KILL ME.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
