Have Gun - Will Travel (1957–1963): Season 3, Episode 35 - The Twins - full transcript
Adam Marakian hires Paladin to find his twin brother Sam, someone he's always admired. The only person who can tell them apart is his wife, who seems helpful but only at first.
YES, SIR.
YES. IS THERE A PALADIN
REGISTERED IN THIS HOTEL?
SAM!
SAM MARAKIAN!
DO I KNOW YOU?
I DON'T SEE HOW
YOU COULD FORGET.
I'M SORRY. YOU MUST BE
MISTAKING ME FOR MY BROTHER.
MY NAME IS ADAM MARAKIAN.
YOUR BROTHER? I'LL BROTHER YOU!
MY NAME IS ADAM. ADAM. ADAM.
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE, MISS.
I'LL TEACH YOU TO
REMEMBER WHO I AM!
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
MR. PALADIN, COME QUICK.
HEY BOY, THERE IS AN
ANCIENT ORIENTAL SAYING
WITH WHICH YOU SHOULD
BE FAMILIAR BY NOW.
THE PHILOSOPHER
LING-XU HAS REMINDED US,
"IF HEY BOY DOES NOT
WISH TO BE BOILED IN OIL,
HE WILL GO AWAY AND
LEAVE PALADIN ALONE."
BUT YOU ARE!
SO SORRY. YES, YOU
ARE SAM MARAKIAN.
MY NAME IS ADAM. ADAM.
AND YOU, I PRESUME, ARE EVE,
AND, OF COURSE, THIS
IS THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
EXCUSE ME. I
THINK THIS IS YOURS.
I HAVEN'T FINISHED WITH
YOU YET, SAM MARAKIAN.
I'M NOT SURE THAT I ENVY YOU,
SAM MARAKIAN.
MY NAME IS ADAM.
YOU SAID THAT BEFORE.
SHE MISTOOK ME FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
WELL, WHOEVER
THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS,
HE CERTAINLY MUST HAVE
SOME FOND MEMORIES.
THIS IS HIM. THIS
IS MR. PALADIN.
REMEMBER LING-XU.
YOU'RE PALADIN?
THERE IS NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT.
I WAS TOLD YOU
WERE A GUNFIGHTER.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D TURN OUT
TO BE SOME KIND OF A DANDY.
WELL, PERHAPS WE SHOULD
CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION
IN PRIVATE, MR...
MARAKIAN.
ADAM MARAKIAN.
ANY RELATION TO SAM?
YES. HE'S MY BROTHER.
WE'RE IDENTICAL TWINS.
IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT EVER
SINCE WE WERE BOYS.
MY MOTHER WAS THE ONLY
ONE WHO COULD TELL US APART.
SAM WAS ALWAYS
GETTING INTO TROUBLE.
AND I WAS ALWAYS
GETTING BLAMED FOR IT.
I DIDN'T MIND IT
TOO MUCH, THOUGH.
NOT REALLY.
I EVEN ENJOYED IT IN A WAY.
I NEVER HAD THE NERVE TO DO
THE THINGS MY BROTHER'S DONE.
BUT BEING BLAMED FOR THEM,
THAT WAS ALMOST AS GOOD
AS HAVING DONE THEM MYSELF.
I LIKED BEING
THOUGHT OF THAT WAY.
LIKE SAM.
I ALWAYS DID WANNA
BE MORE LIKE HIM.
THAT IS, RIGHT UP UNTIL
THE TIME HE SHOT THAT MAN.
I DON'T WANNA HANG FOR HIM.
I'M NOT A KILLER.
YOU WEAR A GUN.
YEAH.
WELL, NOT ALL OF MY BROTHER'S
ENEMIES USE PARASOLS.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE
YOUR BROTHER IS NOW?
NO.
RIGHT AFTER THE
KILLING, HE TOOK OUT.
THEN THE SHERIFF
CAME LOOKING FOR ME.
SO I TOOK OUT, TOO.
GIVE YOURSELF UP.
IF YOU'RE INNOCENT, YOU
WON'T HANG. I PROMISE YOU THAT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"IF I'M INNOCENT"?
I'LL FIND YOUR BROTHER.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GIVE MYSELF
UP IF YOU'LL HELP.
DO YOU NEED ANY MORE
PROOF THAT I'M INNOCENT?
SAM.
WHAT'S THAT FOR?
WELL, IT OCCURS TO ME
THAT IF YOU WERE SAM,
THIS WOULD BE A VERY GOOD WAY
TO GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO
DO YOUR DIRTY WORK FOR YOU.
YES, THAT WOULD BE VERY
CLEVER OF ME. IF I WAS SAM.
IT WOULD ALSO BE VERY
DANGEROUS FOR YOU.
WHY'S THAT?
I DON'T LIKE BEING MISUSED.
THAT'S A CHANCE YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO TAKE.
WE'RE BOTH TAKING A
CHANCE, MR. MARAKIAN.
CALL ME ADAM.
WE'LL SEE. WE'LL SEE.
ONE MORE THING,
MR. PALADIN. YES?
IF YOU EVER DRAW ON ME
AGAIN, YOU BETTER SHOOT.
I WILL, MR. MARAKIAN.
I WILL.
WELL, IT BEGINS.
I HOPE YOU GOT A PLAN.
WHERE CAN I FIND YOUR
MOTHER? MY MOTHER?
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN
TELL YOU AND YOUR BROTHER APART.
MY MOTHER AND
FATHER ARE BOTH DEAD.
NOBODY IN THIS TOWN'LL
BE SORRY TO SEE YOU HANG.
ANYBODY ELSE TELL YOU TWO APART?
YEAH. MY WIFE.
PUT THAT THING DOWN.
HE KILLED A MAN, MISTER.
HE'S GIVING HIMSELF UP,
AND HE DID NOT KILL A MAN.
THERE'S HALF A DOZEN WITNESSES
THAT'LL SWEAR HE DONE JUST THAT.
YOU SURE THIS IS THE SAME MAN?
I GUESS I KNOW ADAM
MARAKIAN WHEN I SEE HIM.
DO YOU KNOW SAM
MARAKIAN WHEN YOU SEE HIM?
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?
IF YOU SAW THE TWO
OF THEM SIDE BY SIDE,
COULD YOU TELL WHICH
ONE KILLED THAT MAN?
WHY, SURE I WOULD.
HOW?
YOU'RE ADAM MARAKIAN.
YOU ARE ADAM MARAKIAN, AIN'T YA?
I AM.
THERE. I KNOW ADAM
MARAKIAN WHEN I SEE HIM.
NOW, THAT IS VERY
CLEVER OF YOU, SHERIFF.
ANYWAY, WHAT BUSINESS
IS THIS OF YOURS?
WHO ARE YOU? YOU A BOUNTY
HUNTER OR SOMETHING?
WELL, ALL RIGHT.
WHO YOU WORKING FOR?
HE HIRED ME TO FIND HIS BROTHER.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHICH ONE'S ADAM?
HIS WIFE WILL KNOW.
NOW, I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING, PALADIN.
I DON'T KNOW ONE FROM THE OTHER.
I NEVER COULD TELL.
IT DON'T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE
WHICH ONE KILLED THAT MAN.
AS LONG AS I GOT SOMEBODY
TO HANG FOR THE KILLIN',
THE LAW'S SATISFIED AND SO AM I.
ONE OF 'EM'S JUST AS
GOOD AS THE OTHER.
THOSE ARE NOBLE
SENTIMENTS, SHERIFF.
THE LAW'S THE LAW.
COME ON, ADAM.
I'LL SEE YOU OUTSIDE.
MY WIFE'S NAME IS BETH.
MRS. MARAKIAN? YES.
MRS. ADAM MARAKIAN?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND.
WELL, COME IN, WON'T YOU.
WHERE IS MY
HUSBAND? HE'S IN JAIL.
THEY CAUGHT HIM?
NO. HE GAVE HIMSELF UP.
HE WAS WITH ME HERE WHEN
THE SHOOTING TOOK PLACE.
HE HIRED ME TO FIND HIS BROTHER.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?
DO YOU?
HOW SHOULD I KNOW WHERE HE IS?
WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T.
WELL, THEN WHAT DO
YOU WANT WITH ME?
WELL, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE
TO SEE YOUR HUSBAND?
OF COURSE I DO.
WILL YOU COME WITH ME?
YES. ALL RIGHT.
IS THAT ADAM AND SAM?
MM-HMM.
WELL, HOW DO YOU
TELL THEM APART?
A GIRL CAN TELL.
BETH!
HELLO, HONEY. PALADIN.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD, HONEY.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
HE'S NOT MY HUSBAND.
WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS TO ME, BETH?
I'M SORRY, SAM.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE GOT
THE RIGHT ONE AFTER ALL.
SHE'S LYING, PALADIN.
WHY WOULD SHE LIE?
YOU BETTER ASK MY
BROTHER THAT QUESTION.
THE NEXT TIME YOU
SEE YOUR BROTHER,
BE SURE AND ASK
HIM THAT QUESTION.
PALADIN. WHAT?
YOU FIND HIM.
OR I'LL GET OUT OF THIS
CRACKER BOX AND FIND HIM MYSELF.
I DON'T WANNA DO TO MY BROTHER
WHAT I'D DO TO
HIM IF I FOUND HIM.
DO I OWE YOU ANYTHING?
I GAVE MYSELF UP
WHEN YOU ASKED ME TO.
I STAYED HERE TO LET YOU
DO WHAT YOU PROMISED.
NOW, REGARDLESS OF WHO I MAY BE,
WHETHER I LIED TO YOU OR NOT,
YOU OWE ME THAT MUCH.
DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU
WERE GONNA GET AWAY WITH THIS?
YOU THINK YOU WERE
GONNA FOOL HIS WIFE?
WELL, IF THAT
PUZZLES YOU ENOUGH,
MAYBE YOU'LL FIND MY BROTHER.
JUST TO SATISFY
YOUR OWN CURIOSITY.
YOU SWEAR YOUR HUSBAND WAS
WITH YOU AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING,
SO HE'S IN THE CLEAR.
WHEREVER HE IS, TELL HIM
IT'S OKAY TO COME BACK NOW.
THANK YOU, SHERIFF.
MRS. MARAKIAN, WHERE
IS YOUR HUSBAND?
IN THE HILLS BEHIND OUR RANCH.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME THAT BEFORE?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
A BOUNTY HUNTER.
THEN WHY DID YOU
COME HERE WITH ME?
I WAS AFRAID YOU'D FOLLOW
ME IF I DIDN'T COME WITH YOU.
FOLLOW YOU WHERE? TO MY HUSBAND.
IS THAT WHERE YOU WERE GOING?
I WAS TAKING HIM SOME FOOD.
WELL, MRS. MARAKIAN,
IF YOU WERE SO CERTAIN
THAT YOUR HUSBAND WAS
IN THE HILLS AND NOT IN JAIL,
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO
KISS THAT MAN IN THE CELL
BEFORE YOU WERE CERTAIN
THAT HE WAS NOT YOUR HUSBAND?
I DON'T KNOW. I WAS
CONFUSED. I WAS SCARED.
I THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU HAD CAUGHT HIM.
THEY LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE.
THAT'S ALWAYS A SHOCK TO ME.
I JUST GOT TERRIBLY
MIXED UP ALL OF A SUDDEN.
I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER
ALL HIS QUESTIONS, DO I?
NO, YOU SURE DON'T.
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO, PALADIN?
MRS. MARAKIAN,
I'D LIKE TO MEET YOUR HUSBAND.
WHY?
LET'S JUST SAY I'M CURIOUS.
ALL RIGHT.
AND DON'T YOU HANG
ANYBODY WHILE I'M GONE.
SHERIFF! SHERIFF!
[RATTLING] SHERIFF!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
STOP THAT NOISE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
THERE'S A RAT IN MY CELL.
LIKELY ENOUGH. THE ONE IN
YOUR CELL'S NAMED MARAKIAN.
SHERIFF.
I DIDN'T WANNA DO THIS.
SAM.
I'M NOT SAM.
HOW CAN I MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT?
PUT AWAY THE GUN.
I ALREADY TRIED THAT.
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE TO ME.
STASHED THE GUN
AWAY ALL IN ADVANCE.
THAT DON'T LOOK GOOD.
MAYBE NOT, BUT IT'S KEEPING ME
FROM BEING HUNG FOR SAM'S CRIME.
NOW, OPEN IT UP. OPEN IT.
GO ON. GET IN.
GET IN.
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
SAM TAKING A CHANCE LIKE THAT.
SAM'S THAT WAY.
BUT YOUR HUSBAND ISN'T.
MY HUSBAND WOULDN'T HAVE THE
NERVE TO TRY ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THEY'RE DIFFERENT,
DESPITE THE WAY THEY LOOK.
ADAM'S VERY CONSERVATIVE.
SAM, HE'S WILD.
IMPULSIVE.
MRS. MARAKIAN,
WHEN YOU IDENTIFIED THE PRISONER
AS SAM, YOU SAID YOU WERE SORRY.
WERE YOU? I'M SORRY
HE HAS TO HANG.
BUT WHEN MAKING A CHOICE
BETWEEN SAM AND MY HUSBAND,
I'M NOT SORRY TO MAKE IT.
AND YOU'VE MADE YOUR CHOICE.
WAS THERE ANY
OTHER, MR. PALADIN?
THAT'S ANOTHER ONE
OF THOSE QUESTIONS
THAT ONLY THE PRISONER'S
BROTHER CAN ANSWER FOR US.
[GUNSHOT]
DON'T SHOOT. THAT'S ADAM.
WELL, HE'S A FRIENDLY
SOUL, YOUR HUSBAND.
ADAM!
ADAM, IT'S ME, BETH!
WHO'S THAT WITH YOU?
HIS NAME IS PALADIN.
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
IT'S ALL RIGHT,
ADAM. SAM'S IN JAIL.
YOU'RE IN THE CLEAR.
ALL RIGHT. COME ON UP.
PUT UP YOUR GUN, MISTER.
IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.
EVERYTHING'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT NOW.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
YOUR BROTHER
HIRED ME TO FIND YOU.
MRS. MARAKIAN MADE HER CHOICE.
THE MAN IN JAIL WILL DIE FOR IT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US NOW?
JUST CURIOUS. I WANTED TO SEE
IF I COULD TELL YOU TWO APART.
CAN YOU?
[GUNSHOT]
IT'S YOUR BROTHER.
I THOUGHT YOU
SAID HE WAS IN JAIL.
HE WAS.
ARE YOU SATISFIED
NOW, MR. PALADIN?
COVER ME.
[SHOUTS, INDISTINCT]
HOLD YOUR FIRE.
I TOLD YOU I DON'T
LIKE BEING MISUSED.
AND I TOLD YOU TO SHOOT...
THE NEXT TIME YOU DRAW ON ME.
HEY.
IS... IS THAT MY BETH
UP THERE WITH HIM?
THAT'S ANOTHER REASON...
WHY I'VE ALWAYS...
WANTED TO BE LIKE MY...
BROTHER.
IS HE DEAD?
HE'S DEAD.
[COCKS GUN]
[GUNSHOTS]
WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR?
PALADIN'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT MIGHT SUSPECT ANYTHING.
WE'LL TELL THE SHERIFF
MY BROTHER KILLED HIM.
TAKE THIS AND GET
BEHIND THE ROCK.
I'M SCARED, SAM. GO ON. GO ON.
ADAM'S DEAD.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE BEEN
QUITE LIKE YOUR BROTHER,
BUT I PROMISE YOU,
BEFORE THIS DAY IS OVER,
HE WILL BE LIKE YOU.
I GUESS WE BETTER GET THE
SHERIFF'S PRISONER BACK TO HIM.
WHO KNOWS?
I MAY EVEN COLLECT A
REWARD FOR MY OWN BODY.
WHAT ABOUT PALADIN?
HE'LL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
WE WERE ABOUT TO
COME LOOKING FOR HIM.
HE AMBUSHED US. I
HAD TO SHOOT HIM.
TAKE HIM INSIDE.
WHERE'S PALADIN?
MY BROTHER KILLED HIM.
YOUR BROTHER?
I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU COME
INTO THE REWARD ALL BY YOURSELF.
WHICH ONE ARE YOU? ADAM.
IS THIS YOUR HUSBAND,
MRS. MARAKIAN?
YES.
THERE. YOU SEE? NOTHING TO IT.
OH, IT'S OVER, SAM.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
I GUESS YOU BETTER START
GETTING USED TO CALLING ME ADAM.
HMM?
SAM.
SAM MARAKIAN.
SAM! SAM!
SAM!
OH, NO, SAM! NO, NO! NO, PLEASE!
[SOBBING] SAM.
WELL, SHERIFF, I
KILLED THEM BOTH.
BOTH?
MRS. MARAKIAN MADE A CHOICE.
TWO MEN DIED FOR IT.
I SINCERELY HOPE
YOU'LL FIND THAT CHOICE
HARDER TO LIVE
WITH THAN TO DIE FOR,
MRS. MARAKIAN.
HE AIN'T HER HUSBAND?
DOES THAT REALLY
MATTER TO YOU, SHERIFF?
IT MATTERS TO HER.
THEN LET HER MOURN
WHICHEVER ONE SHE CHOOSES.
HOW ABOUT THE OTHER ONE?
I WILL MOURN THE
OTHER ONE, SHERIFF.
I WILL MOURN HIM.

OH, IT'S OVER, SAM.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
I GUESS YOU BETTER START
GETTING USED TO CALLING ME ADAM.
HMM?
SAM.
SAM MARAKIAN.
SAM! SAM!
SAM!
OH, NO, SAM! NO, NO! NO, PLEASE!
[SOBBING] SAM.
WELL, SHERIFF, I
KILLED THEM BOTH.
BOTH?
MRS. MARAKIAN MADE A CHOICE.
TWO MEN DIED FOR IT.
I SINCERELY HOPE
YOU'LL FIND THAT CHOICE
HARDER TO LIVE
WITH THAN TO DIE FOR,
MRS. MARAKIAN.
HE AIN'T HER HUSBAND?
DOES THAT REALLY
MATTER TO YOU, SHERIFF?
IT MATTERS TO HER.
THEN LET HER MOURN
WHICHEVER ONE SHE CHOOSES.
HOW ABOUT THE OTHER ONE?
I WILL MOURN THE
OTHER ONE, SHERIFF.
I WILL MOURN HIM.
