Have Gun - Will Travel (1957–1963): Season 2, Episode 8 - A Sense of Justice - full transcript
Paladin seeks to thwart mob "justice" against a simple young man accused of killing a local womanizer.
YOU HIRED ME TO KEEP THAT
MOB FROM LYNCHING ANDY.
NOW YOU TELL ME
TO HAND HIM OVER.
JUST WHICH SIDE OF THAT BADGE ARE
YOU GOING TO STAND BEHIND, SHERIFF?
[CHINESE]
HEY BOY, MY COMPLIMENTS TO THE
MANAGEMENT. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SHERRY.
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
SOME MORE.
[PALADIN:] "VOLUNTEERS TO BE PAID
OUT OF THE SHERIFF'S OWN POCKET,
BUT THUS FAR, NO TAKERS."
[HEY BOY:] I KNOW YOU GO AWAY.
BUSINESS IN TOWN, MISTER?
YES, MA'AM. WITH?
THE SHERIFF.
ANSWERING HIS CALL FOR MEN?
ABOUT JIM BRIGGS' MURDER? RIGHT.
I'LL BRING A BAG IN LATER.
WE DON'T NEED OUTSIDE HELP.
THAT'S FOR THE
SHERIFF TO SAY, ISN'T IT?
I GOT MORE SAY THAN ANY SHERIFF.
JIM BRIGGS WAS MY SON.
I'M SORRY, MRS. BRIGGS.
NOT MRS. BRIGGS, WIDOW BRIGGS.
NO HUSBAND, NO SON.
JUST WIDOW BRIGGS.
EXCUSE ME.
PALADIN.
HARRY, YOU AND BOAK
GOT BACK TO THE RANCH.
GET TOM HERE.
[KNOCKING]
[FOOTSTEPS]
SHERIFF GRAYSON,
MY NAME IS PALADIN.
COME IN, PALADIN.
THAT BAD? NOT
YET, BUT IT CAN BE.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, PALADIN.
I GUESS I DON'T HAVE
TO TELL YOU THAT.
ANY OTHER VOLUNTEERS?
NO, IT'LL BE JUST THE TWO OF US.
HAVE THEY STARTED ANYTHING YET?
JUST TALK.
SOMETIMES IF THEY TALK ENOUGH,
THEY TALK THEMSELVES OUT OF IT.
THE PRISONER ANDY'LL
GET A FAIR TRIAL
WHEN THE JUDGE GETS HERE
FROM PLACER ON WEDNESDAY.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS KEEP
THEM FROM TRIGGERING ANYTHING.
EXCUSE ME, PAPA.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, HONEY.
MY DAUGHTER JULIA, MR. PALADIN.
HOW DO YOU DO?
HOW DO YOU DO?
I WAS HOPING TO BRING
SOME COOKIES TO ANDY.
WHY, CERTAINLY, HONEY.
COME WITH US. I'LL
SHOW YOU THE PRISONER.
THERE HE IS.
HELLO, ANDY.
HELLO, JULIA.
I BROUGHT YOU SOME COOKIES.
SIT DOWN?
I JUST BAKED THEM MYSELF.
I HEARD AN OWL LAST NIGHT.
DID IT KEEP YOU AWAKE?
AWAKE? NO. I
PRETENDED IT WAS YOU.
YOU WERE CALLING ME THAT IT
WAS TIME FOR US TO GO ON A PICNIC,
UP TO THE OLD BARN.
TRY A COOKIE. HERE.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN LIKE THAT?
SINCE HE WAS SIX YEARS OLD.
FOLLOWS JULIA AROUND LIKE A PUPPY DOG.
JULIA'S ALWAYS WANTED TO PUT HIM IN A
HOSPITAL WHERE HE'D BE LOOKED AFTER.
NO KINFOLK.
YOU CAN'T HOLD A MAN LIKE
THAT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTS.
[SIGHS]
WELL, ALL I KNOW IS THAT THEY
FOUND HIM AT THE OLD SMITH BARN
SITTING NEAR THE BODY.
JIM WAS STABBED RIGHT HERE.
SHARP STAKE, OR A SPIKE,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THEY SAY THAT A PERSON LIKE ANDY
PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN
REALIZE THAT HE'D DONE IT.
JUST SAT BY THE BODY.
WELL, JUDGING ISN'T MY JOB.
HOLDING THE MOB BACK IS.
IT'D BE EASIER IF WE COULD ESTABLISH
REASONABLE DOUBT ABOUT HIS GUILT.
WAS THERE ANYTHING IN THE BARN?
A LOT OF MEN HAVE
GONE OVER THAT BARN.
NO MURDER WEAPON.
NOTHING.
NO MURDER WEAPON?
NOTHING.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
A LOOK IF I MAY.
SURE.
TOM.
THAT'S HIM.
YOU THINK HE KNOWS
WHAT HE'S ABOUT?
WITH A GUN, HE DOES.
THAT'D BE A MAN
TO CUT A NOTCH ON.
NO NEED TO BE
ASHAMED OF THAT NOTCH.
BIG MAN.
A BIG TARGET'S EASIER TO HIT.
BUT THAT MAN'S GOT TO BE BEAT.
I CAN BEAT HIM.
THIS AIN'T THE TIME
TO THINK THAT WAY.
WE'VE GOTTA EVEN THINGS FOR JIM.
HE'S GONNA TRY TO STOP US.
THE THREE OF YOU DO
IT. I DON'T NEED THEM.
TOM, WE'VE GOT TO BE SURE.
[HOOFBEATS]
[HORSE NEIGHS]
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE, MISTER?
JUST LOOKING AROUND. FOR?
THAT'S MY BUSINESS, ISN'T IT?
WELL, WE DON'T WANT ANY
TROUBLEMAKERS AROUND HERE, MISTER.
GET OUT.
WHEN SHERIFF GRAYSON
TELLS ME MY JOB IS FINISHED.
I'VE GOT SOME WITNESSES HERE.
THEY'LL BACK ME UP.
ABOUT?
ABOUT HOW YOU DREW ON ME FIRST.
THERE'S THREE OF US, MISTER.
YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE.
I DON'T LIKE IT THAT WAY.
BUT THAT'S THE WAY
IT IS, NEVERTHELESS.
[GUNSHOTS]
IT DON'T MATTER. IT'LL
BE BETTER THIS WAY.
MAKE THE TOWN
MOVE FASTER ON ANDY
WHEN THEY FIND OUT THE
SHERIFF'S BRINGING IN GUNSLINGERS.
THAT'D BE A MAN
TO CUT A NOTCH ON.
HERE SHE COMES WITH THE MEN.
WIDOW BRIGGS.
GET IN THERE, HONEY.
I THINK SHE JUST WANTS TO TALK.
SHE'D HAVE BROUGHT MORE
MEN IF SHE WANTED A SHOWDOWN.
WIDOW BRIGGS.
YOU'RE TURNING
ANDY OVER TO US, NEIL.
NO, ANDY'S STAYING HERE
TILL HE GETS A FAIR TRAIL.
WE'RE WILLING TO
GIVE HIM A TRIAL.
WHAT KIND OF A JURY?
MEN'D AS SOON HANG HIM.
THE TOWN DON'T LIKE
GUNSLINGERS MOVING IN.
IF THAT'S THE KIND OF LAW
WE'RE GONNA HAVE AROUND HERE,
WE'RE TAKING MATTERS
INTO OUR OWN HANDS.
THE MEN ARE COMING
BACK WITH ME AT 3:00.
WE WANT ANDY THEN.
YOU'LL HAVE ME TO RECKON WITH.
YOU.
AND HIM, AND JULIA.
IT AIN'T AN EASY THING TO LOSE
YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD, NEIL.
I KNOW THAT.
SO?
YOU CAN'T HAVE ANDY.
3:00.
TOM? 3:00.
PAPA, WILL THEY REALLY COME?
YEAH, THEY'LL COME, ALL RIGHT.
SHE WON'T REST UNTIL SHE
SEES ANDY SWINGING FROM A TREE.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT TWO HOURS.
WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE
TO HOLD THEM OFF.
THIS CRIME DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE.
A MAN, EVEN LIKE ANDY,
WOULDN'T KILL SOMEONE,
HIDE THE MURDER WEAPON,
THEN NOT TRY TO HIDE THE BODY
OR AT LEAST TRY TO GET AWAY.
YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT.
NOBODY KNOWS HOW
ANDY'S MIND WORKS.
GRAYSON, IF HE HADN'T
KNOWN WHAT HE WAS DOING,
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TRIED
TO HIDE THE MURDER WEAPON.
OF COURSE. HE'S RIGHT, PAPA.
THEY WON'T LISTEN TO WORDS!
THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S GOT TO
BE SOMETHING THEY CAN SEE.
I'M GOING BACK TO THAT BARN. IT'S
THE ONE SLIM CHANCE WE'VE GOT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'D LIKE TO COME, TOO. NO!
I DON'T WANT YOU IN THE STREETS.
ANDY'S MY FRIEND.
I WANT TO HELP.
MAYBE I COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS,
SHOW YOU THINGS. IT MIGHT HELP.
JULIA, I DON'T WANT
YOU TO GET INVOLVED.
PERHAPS SHE COULD
HELP. PLEASE, PAPA.
ALL RIGHT.
1:30.
WON'T BE LONG NOW.
A WOMAN.
A JEALOUS WOMAN
MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM.
DID HE HAVE MANY
LADY FRIENDS? YES.
MANY.
HE'S TRUE TO NONE OF THEM.
ANYONE ONE OF A DOZEN
PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM.
NOT JUST A LADY FRIEND.
THERE'S THE BARBER. HAD A
TERRIBLE FIGHT A FEW MONTHS AGO.
ABOUT WHAT?
A GAMBLING DEBT. THEN
THERE'S JIM MOTHER.
SHE WAS JEALOUS OF ANYONE
HE GOT SERIOUS ABOUT. FURIOUS.
WE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING
MORE CONCRETE THAN SUSPICIONS.
NO, NO, DON'T! DON'T!
STOP IT!
NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOOR.
IS THIS WHAT KILLED JIM BRIGGS?
CAUGHT THIS, RIGHT BETWEEN
THE SHOULDER BLADES?
I COULDN'T...
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
COME ON.
OUTSIDE, COME ON.
WAS THE SPIKE THE WEAPON
THAT KILLED JIM BRIGGS?
BUT NOT ANDY.
THEN, WHO?
JULIA, WHO?
I, FOR ONE...
I DID IT.
WHY? HOW?
I... I AGREED TO MEET JIM HERE.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME.
HE NEVER LOOKED AT ME BEFORE.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
HE WAS VERY NICE.
AND YOU FOUND OUT
HE WASN'T VERY NICE.
MOST GIRLS LIKED HIM.
HE WAS USED TO
HAVING HIS OWN WAY.
HE THOUGHT THAT I WAS LIKE THAT.
AND YOU WEREN'T,
AND HE DIDN'T LIKE THAT.
HE TRIED TO...
WELL, HE GOT ROUGH.
WE STRUGGLED. I PUSHED HIM AWAY.
HE FELL...
AGAINST THAT SPIKE.
JULIA.
WHAT IS IT?
JULIA'LL TELL YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT I HAD TO TELL YOU IS...
I KILLED JIM BRIGGS.
[CONVERSING]
HERE THEY COME.
YOU TELL THEM.
[CROWD MUTTERING]
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
MEN, LET'S GO!
GET HIM OUT OF THERE!
TOM.
COME ON, ANDY.
LET'S GET THIS PARTY OVER WITH.
BRING HIM OUT! OVER HERE!
COME ON!
[PALADIN GROANS]
YOU STUPID, BLUNDERING...
ANDY IS...
WHAT'S HE GOT TO LIVE FOR?
ANDY DIDN'T KILL BRIGGS!
I'VE GOTTA PROTECT MY DAUGHTER.
NOW YOU STAND BACK.
GRAYSON, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
NOBODY WILL BLAME JULIA.
PAPA!
THERE YOU GO, BOY!
YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT,
EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.
NO!
NO!
JULIA.
TOM.
JULIA AND ANDY ABOUT
READY TO LEAVE? ALMOST.
SO MANY YEARS,
THINKING OF MYSELF
AS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE,
UPHOLDING THE LAW.
AND I FIND MYSELF ACTING LIKE
A CRIMINAL. OR A HUMAN BEING.
AT ANY RATE, I'M GONNA
GIVE UP THIS BADGE.
THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH NOTHING.
AT LEAST IT'D GIVE ME
MORE TIME WITH JULIA.
A FINE PARENT I AM.
SHE COULDN'T TRUST ME TO COME
AND TELL ME WHAT SHE'D DONE.
THAT WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?
WELL, MAYBE IT IS BETTER
YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.
GO INSIDE AND WATCH.
NO MATTER WHAT I DO, JUST
STAND THERE AND WATCH. COME ON.
YOU KNOW WE'RE
GOING AWAY, DON'T YOU?
YOU'LL LIKE IT THERE.
THERE'LL BE LOTS OF NICE
PEOPLE AND THINGS TO DO.
FRIENDS.
READY TO LEAVE?
ALL READY.
COME ON, ANDY.
NEVER MIND ABOUT ANDY,
YOU JUST COME WITH ME.
COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ANDY! NO, ANDY!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
HE WASN'T HURTING ME!
MY FRIEND, HE'S MY FRIEND.
ANDY, LET GO,
ANDY! YOU'LL KILL HIM.
IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
HERE'S YOUR HAT, ANDY.
YOU KNEW.
I KNEW. YOU TAKE ANDY OUTSIDE.
THAT'S IT. THERE YOU
GO. YOU BE A GOOD BOY.
ANDY DID KILL HIM.
HE DID.
I HADN'T REALIZED UNTIL
NOW HOW STRONG ANDY IS.
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
WELL, TWO THINGS:
FIRST, IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE
FOR JULIA NOT TO CONFESS,
IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY
BRIGGS FORCING HIS ATTENTION ON HER.
AND?
AND BRIGGS WAS SLAMMED INTO A
HOOK HIGHER THAN MY SHOULDER.
JULIA COULDN'T DO THAT.
IT'D TAKE A MAN OF REAL STRENGTH
TO LIFT A MAN, AS YOU JUST SAW.
BUT, WHY?
I SUPPOSE ANDY CAME ON THEM
STRUGGLING AND MOVED IN TO PROTECT JULIA.
DON'T QUESTION YOUR DAUGHTER
ABOUT IT. SHE WANTS IT THIS WAY.
WE SHOULDN'T LET ANDY GO FREE.
FREE?
HARDLY.
I THINK THAT HOSPITAL WILL
TAKE A LOT BETTER CARE OF ANDY
THAN ANY JAIL OR
LYNCH MOB COULD.
AND, SHERIFF...
I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO WEAR THAT BADGE.
YOU'VE DONE A GOOD
JOB FOR THIS TOWN.
A GOOD JOB FOR
YOUR DAUGHTER, TOO.
GOODBYE.
HEY!
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
