Have Gun - Will Travel (1957–1963): Season 3, Episode 37 - Ransom - full transcript
SAY, THAT STUFF AIN'T
HALF BAD. WHAT'S HIS PRICE?
I'LL BUY THE RECIPE TO TAKE BACK
TO THE COOK AT THE PALMER HOUSE.
DADDY OWNS THE PALMER HOUSE.
I'VE GOT A JOB FOR YOU.
YOU EVER HEAR OF
A MAN NAMED CELINE?
WELL, SUPPOSE YOU STOP
BEING SO MYSTERIOUS.
JUST WHO IS CELINE?
NOW, YOU TAKE MY
BUSINESS EMPIRE.
IT'S LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS.
YOU MOVE A BOTTOM ONE,
THE WHOLE THING COMES DOWN.
CELINE OWNS THAT
CARD AND MY WHOLE LIFE.
HE CAN'T MAKE A NICKEL
OUTTA THAT PIECE OF PAPER.
BUT HE'LL HANG ON TO IT
TILL HE SEES ME RUINED.
TILL HE SEES ME GROVEL
AND WHINE AND BEG.
WHY DON'T YOU BEG?
WHAT'S THE MONEY FOR IF
I CAN'T HIRE YOU TO DO IT?
YOU BEG CELINE TO
SIGN THIS PIECE OF PAPER.
YOU WERE GOING TO SHOW ME
THE SIGHTS OF SAN FRANCISCO,
MR. PALADIN.
HE AIN'T GONNA TAKE THE JOB.
AND THE SIGHTS OF SAN FRANCISCO
WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE DEAL.
I'M VERY SORRY.
YOU DON'T LIKE ME.
WELL, YOU AIN'T MET CELINE.
HE DIDN'T TAKE
THE MONEY, SUTTON.
WHAT ABOUT THE WOMAN?
SHE WENT UP TO HIS ROOM.
GOOD.
GOOD.
YOU.
THE MAN WHO JUST PASSED.
THE ONE IN THE ELEGANT SHIRT.
WHO IS HE?
[SPEAKING CHINESE]
[SPEAKING CHINESE]
YOU FIND OUT, SUTTON. I
DON'T WANT TO BE SURPRISED.
IT'S JUST A THOUSAND
FOR HIS FEE.
PLEASE, EDWARD.
TRUST ME?
[DOOR OPENS]
THIS YOUR EARRING?
IT WAS IN MY MAILBOX.
A LITTLE PIECE OF
THE BROKEN PAST.
STILL, IT WAS LOVELY
WHILE IT LASTED.
EVERYONE CAME TO MY SALON.
EVEN THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN.
IN MEXICO.
YES.
NOW IT SEEMS LIKE A DREAM
OF RAIN IN THE DESERT.
THE MIRROR CRACKS, THE
MUSIC ENDS. THE REVOLUTION.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF A COLONEL CELINE?
I SEE YOU HAVE.
HE WAS AID TO MAXIMILIAN.
IT WAS THOUGHT THAT
HE WAS EXECUTED.
BUT NOW HE'S BEEN SEEN ALIVE.
NOW, LET ME GUESS.
COLONEL CELINE KNOWS
THE WHEREABOUTS
OF A MISSING FORTUNE.
NO, NO. THE... THE
WINGED LION OF CORTEZ.
IT'S CARVED OUT OF A SINGLE
PIECE OF BLACK DIAMOND.
REALLY, PERHAPS WE
SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL.
WE SHOULD WATCH OUTSIDE.
WOULD YOU DO THAT?
THERE IS NO WINGED LION.
BUT FOR EDWARD, IT'S DIFFERENT.
HE NEEDS TO BELIEVE IN FAIRY
TALES AND LOST TREASURES.
MR. PALADIN, I NEED YOU.
WILL YOU BELIEVE ME IF I LAY
THE TRUTH NAKEDLY BEFORE YOU?
HOW WILL I RECOGNIZE IT?
MY EYES.
I AM DYING.
A MONTH. PERHAPS A YEAR.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN...
WELL, YOU READ IT IN A GLANCE.
NO, PLEASE.
LOOK.
THIS IS COLONEL CELINE.
HE WAS MY HUSBAND.
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I WAS YOUNG WHEN WE MARRIED.
STILL WITH THE SCENT OF
THE PROVINCES ABOUT ME.
HE WAS A VERY COLD MAN.
SOME WOULD SAY RUTHLESS.
BUT I WAS RUTHLESS, TOO.
I DECEIVED HIM, MADE HIM
INTO A MAN TO BE LAUGHED AT.
AND THEN THE REVOLUTION CAME
AND SHATTERED OUR
LITTLE GLASS WORLD.
THE STREETS WERE LIKE AN ASYLUM,
BUT I RAN THROUGH THEM
TRYING TO FIND MY HUSBAND.
HE'D BEEN SWEPT AWAY.
EXECUTED, I THOUGHT.
UNTIL NOW.
PERHAPS I WAS PRAYING
WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING.
DON'T YOU SEE? IT
MUST BE A MIRACLE.
BUT NOW, WHEN
THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME,
I CAN NEVER FIND HIM
WITHOUT SOMEONE.
WITHOUT YOU.
I'M TERRIBLY S... NO.
YOU MUSTN'T SAY IT.
IT IS BETTER THAT
WE GO SEPARATELY.
LAS CRUCES, AND THEN
THE TRAIL TO THE BORDER.
WE CAN MEET THERE.
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN LOST TREASURES.
SO, WHEN YOU COME,
YOU WILL BE CAREFUL.
IF I COME.
YOU WILL COME.
AND SOMEHOW...
I WILL REPAY YOU.
MEN PRETEND PLAY TRICK-TRACK.
THEY ASK ABOUT YOU.
YOU FOOL. I THOUGHT
THAT BOY SPOKE NO ENGLISH.
THEN WHY'D YOU ASK
HIM WHO THAT FELLA WAS?
MR. CARTER STILL IN THE HOTEL?
THE MAN WITH THE
RAILROADS AND THE DAUGHTER?
OH, YES. HE SAY HE WAIT
FOR WORD FROM YOU.
WELL, TELL HIM I'VE DECIDED
TO JOIN THE SEARCH FOR CELINE.
SOMETIMES YOU THROW ON
BLACK AND IT COMES UP RED.
ENOUGH, SUTTON. HE
WILL BE REASONABLE.
MY NAME IS SCHERMER.
YOUR NAME IS PALADIN.
PROFESSION: GUNFIGHTER.
REPUTATION: DEADLY.
BACKGROUND: GENTLEMAN.
PLEASE SIT.
WHERE IS CELINE? I DON'T KNOW.
WHY DO YOU WANT CELINE?
THAT I KNOW, AND
I WON'T TELL YOU.
NOW, BE REASONABLE, MR. PALADIN.
I WILL TELL YOU.
WHEN THE REVOLUTIONISTS
STORMED QUERÉTARO,
CELINE WAS ORDERED TO
BURN THE NATIONAL TREASURY.
BUT HE DIDN'T. I WAS THERE.
I SAW HIM TAKE THE MONEY.
I'M NOT A GREEDY MAN, BUT
WHEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
I'M FINALLY SO CLOSE,
I CAN'T LET THE MONEY
SLIP THROUGH MY
FINGERS A SECOND TIME.
PERHAPS YOU FEEL SOME
SENSE OF LOYALTY TO THE LADY.
A PAST RELATIONSHIP? HMM?
BUT THAT WOULD
BE A TRAGIC ERROR.
SCHERMER, THERE'S A
STENCH THAT COMES FROM YOU.
IF I KNEW WHERE CELINE WAS, I
DON'T THINK I'D TELL YOU NOW.
HE'LL HOLD OUT.
TIME-CONSUMING AND BORING.
WE'LL BEGIN WITH THAT ONE.
SEE HERE. I KNOW
NOTHING ABOUT THIS CELINE.
I ONLY GAVE HER MONEY.
MY INTEREST IN CHOLTEC
IS... PURELY SCIENTIFIC.
CHOLTEC? HO-HO, CHOLTEC!
THE MONASTERY.
THANK YOU, MY BOY.
I REGRET TO SAY, MR. PALADIN,
THAT WE WON'T NEED
YOU ANY LONGER.
AH!
PLEASE. WE CAN COME TO TERMS.
WHY SHOULD I? I KNOW
NOW WHERE CELINE IS.
SUTTON IS ARMED.
THERE'S A REASON.
[SUTTON] NOT MUCH REASON.
SUTTON, THE ENGLISHMAN.
I LET HIM GO.
I GOT MY OWN REASONS
FOR FINDING CELINE.
WHAT'S YOUR OFFER, SUTTON?
IT'S HARD COUNTRY TO CHOLTEC.
THROW IN WITH ME AND
I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD.
SECURA?
THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
BUT MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO
KNOW HOW I GOT THE SCAR.
I WAS DETAILED TO GUARD HER AND
CELINE AFTER WE TOOK QUERÉTARO.
SHE GOT ME OFF GUARD.
MAYBE YOU CAN
GUESS HOW SHE DID IT.
BUT IT WAS CELINE THAT CUT ME.
AFTER HE TIED ME
UP FOR HIS HONOR.
BUT, LIKE I SAY,
THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
SO I GUESS IT'S
CHECK ROUND TO YOU.
WHAT ABOUT HIM?
I'M IN NO POSITION
TO HURT ANYONE.
I ALONE CAN MAKE
USE OF CELINE'S MONEY.
WHAT CAN YOU GAIN
BY... BY KILLING ME?
ONLY A SENSE OF JUSTICE.
NOW, YOU GET OUTTA HERE.
YOU'RE MIXED INTO SOMETHING
YOU KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT, MR. PALADIN.
TAKE CARE.
SUTTON.
WE BETTER MAKE CAMP HERE.
IT'S ONLY ME.
ALL THE MORE REASON.
DO YOU HATE ME?
HATE? NO. I DON'T
THINK HATE'S THE WORD.
THEN WHAT?
THEN... NOTHING.
YOU FEEL NOTHING? YOU'RE LYING.
YOU ARE LYING.
A DYING WOMAN IN
SEARCH OF HER HUSBAND?
PERHAPS I WAS
TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
PERHAPS YOU WERE.
YOU WANT THE MONEY.
BUT THE THING YOU'RE
REALLY AFTER IS CELINE.
WHY?
WAS HE THE ONLY MAN WHO
WAS EVER IMMUNE TO YOU?
YOU NEVER SAID WHY
YOU WANT TO FIND CELINE.
IT'S NOT ONLY ME.
NOR THE MONEY.
NO. I WANNA MEET THE MAN WHO
HAS ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST
BUSINESSMEN WILLING TO CRAWL
ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND BEG.
A MAN WHO'S OUTWITTED
ONE OF THE MOST LETHAL
SCOUNDRELS I EVER MET.
MAN WHO HAS SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD
SUTTON SO TWISTED WITH HATE
THAT HE'S WILLING TO RISK HIS
LIFE JUST TO CUT CELINE'S THROAT.
A MAN WHO HAS...
ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING
WOMEN I HAVE EVER KNOWN
WILLING TO THROW
HER LIFE AWAY FOR HIM.
WHATEVER IT IS THE WORLD
WANTS... OR GOD WANTS...
CELINE WITHHOLDS.
IT'S SIMPLE.
THE DESIRE FOR
SOMETHING BEYOND REACH.
HE IS UNTOUCHABLE.
YOU LOVE HIM?
I LOVE HIM.
[SECURA] PALADIN. PALADIN!
HE'S GONE! WHAT?
SUTTON'S GONE. HE'S GONE
ON AHEAD. PLEASE, QUICKLY!
[GUNSHOTS]
WHO IS IT?
"WHERE IS HE?" IS
A BETTER QUESTION.
SCHERMER! BY THE ROCK FALL!
NOW, YOU COVER ME.
BOTH OF YOU.
[GUNSHOTS]
[GUNSHOT]
SUTTON?
ARE YOU THINKIN' WHAT I AM?
WE COULD PERHAPS
MAKE IT TOGETHER
WHILE THEY KILL EACH OTHER.
YEAH.
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN...
QUERÉTARO?
GO ON, SUTTON.
GO ON, SUTTON.
YOU FOOL.
YOU WERE OUTTA THIS.
MR. SCHERMER NEEDED HELP.
THE WINGED LION,
PALADIN, REALLY EXISTS!
JUST PUT IT DOWN.
I'M NOT A FOOL.
I WAS AN ATHLETE. MY
REFLEXES ARE FAST.
DON'T TRY IT.
[GUNSHOTS]
DID I STOP HIM?
YOU KILLED HIM.
AND HE KILLED ME.
HE HAD TO KILL CELINE OR ME.
NOW YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
OF US WHO'LL... SEE CELINE.
PALADIN?
HMM?
HOW WILL YOU KNOW HIM?
I'LL KNOW.
[BELLS TOLLING]
EXCUSE ME. MY NAME IS PALADIN.
I'M LOOKING FOR A
MAN NAMED CELINE.
YOU'LL FIND HIM JUST
THERE, NEAR THE SHRINE.
THANK YOU.
I BEG YOUR PARDON.
MY NAME IS PALADIN.
I'M LOOKING FOR A
MAN NAMED CELINE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH HIM?
NOT ME. A MAN NAMED CARTER,
A MAN NAMED SCHERMER,
AND A MAN NAMED SUTTON.
I AM CELINE.
IN THOSE CLOTHES?
NOT YET.
THE BROTHERS LET ME TEND
THIS LITTLE SHRINE, STAY HERE.
PERHAPS IN TIME.
WHAT ARE YOU?
I LEFT THREE DEAD MEN ON THE
TRAIL, MEN WHOSE LIVES YOU...
DESTROYED WITH
YOUR OWN CORRUPTION.
MY CORRUPTION...
OR THEIRS?
SCHERMER.
HE'S DEAD? HE'S DEAD.
I'VE HAD HIS MONEY
WAITING HERE FOR HIM.
I HAVE NO LONGER A NEED FOR IT.
YOU'D GIVE IT TO HIM?
CERTAINLY.
DO YOU WANT IT?
I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU.
HOW MUCH WAS IT?
ONE MILLION? [LAUGHS]
TWO MILLION?
IS THAT WHAT SCHERMER TOLD YOU?
A WHOLE TREASURY FULL?
TROPICAL WORMS.
LIKE THE REST OF THE
THINGS OF THIS LIFE...
SO MUCH DUST THAT
CRUMBLES IN YOUR HAND.
A DREAM.
AND SUTTON?
SUTTON.
SUTTON.
THE TEXAN. YOU SCARRED HIS FACE.
POOR SUTTON.
HE WANTED TO KILL ME.
OH, HE...
HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE.
THIS IS MY LAST REFUGE FROM
THE SUTTONS OF THE WORLD.
MONSTERS THAT I CREATED.
WHAT IF SUTTON HAD COME?
WHAT WOULD I DO? GIVE HIM...
SCHERMER'S MONEY?
TRY TO MAKE HIM SEE
WHAT MY AMBITION AND
PRIDE HAD BROUGHT ME, TOO?
OR HOPE TO SHOW HIM
THAT THE CELINE HE CAME
TO KILL WAS ALREADY DEAD?
AND CARTER?
CARTER HIRED ME TO
BEG YOU TO SIGN THIS.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO HIM?
OH, YOU FORGET. HIS
PRIDE. HIS AMBITION.
WHY YOU?
HE WOULD BEG LIKE A DOG,
BUT AS A MAN, HE HAS
TOO MUCH PRIDE TO BEG.
CARTER IS ASKING ME TO HELP
HIM ONE MORE STEP INTO HELL.
I'LL SIGN IT.
THERE WAS A WOMAN.
A WOMAN NAMED SECURA.
YOUR CHANGE OF HEART...
COMES A LITTLE BIT
LATE FOR SECURA.
DEAD?
HOW?
DEFENDING YOU. KILLING SUTTON.
FOR ME?
SHE DIED FOR ME?
THE CELINE SHE LOVED...
STILL LIVES.
STILL LIVES.
BUT FOR WHAT?
WE'RE A SMALL ORDER HERE.
VERY POOR.
BUT IN TIME, WE'LL BRING HARMONY
AND ORDER...
AND PEACE...
TO THIS LITTLE
CORNER OF THE WORLD.
