Paladin
I agreed to deliver this man to your prison, but under the circumstances, I would prefer not to take pay for this particular job. Have Gun will travel starring Mr. John Dana as Paladin. San Francisco, 1875. The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of a man called Paladin. Oh, misa Paladin not going to like this. Not even 11 o'clock yet. Don't worry about it, my boy. Just wake him up. He'll be glad you did. But you not understand. Mr. Paladin Sleep late in the morning when he's out gambling night before. Never you mind. Just do as I say. Mr. Paladin. Mr. Paladin go away. Hey boy, go away. Have gentleman to see you, Mr. Paladin. Then both of you go away. What'd I tell you? I've got to see him. When Mr. Paladin say, hey boy, go away. Hey boy go tell him I have $2,000 for him. Oh, that don't make any difference to Mr. Paladin. Tell him, Mr. Paladin, this man say has $2,000 for you.
Jeremy Thompson
See he caught asleep.
Paladin
All right, hey boy, what are you standing around in the hall with this gentleman for? Show him in. Mr. Paladin, you lose all your money last night? Never mind, never mind. Goodbye, hey boy.
Hey Boy
Goodbye.
Paladin
Now, you'll excuse my appearance. I spent the evening with a client. No matter, no matter. My name is finletter. I'm a lawyer. My client in nevada has a matter he'd like you to take care of for him. Who is your client, Mr. Finlater? All right. Here in this document. If you'll just read and sign it. Well, let me see first. I, Paladin, do hereby agree to deliver, post haste, the person of one jeremy thompson to the governor of the state of Nevada. The governor? Upon delivery at carson city, I will be paid $2,000. Well, Mr. Finlater, I am not a bounty hunter, nor am I a lawman. I don't transport prisoners. Paladin, I forgot to mention. There's a thousand dollars expense money payable immediately. And why doesn't the governor use his law enforcement officers to do this job? It's a somewhat delicate matter. Personal matter between the governor and this jeremy Thompson. I see. There's also the fact that no jail nor any officer has been able to hold Thompson for any reasonable length of time. Can he be so bad as all that? How much you judge for yourself, Wilson. Oh, Wilson. He sent along a pair of special handcuffs. Here's the key. Ah, yes. The governor does well to be cautious. He certainly is a vicious looking devil. Mr. Paladin. That's Wilson you're looking at. That's. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. The other gentleman is Jeremy thompson.
Jeremy Thompson
Hello, Jack. It's me. All right.
Paladin
And the governor is willing to pay $2,000 for this boy. Now, if you'll just sign this paper, Mr. Hamilton. All right, but I feel like I'm stealing the governor's money. Glad you think so, sir. Unshackle him, Wilson. Oh, now, just a minute. I didn't know I would take charge of him now. I'm afraid he's your responsibility now, sir. Oh, and by the way, Mr. Thompson has an accomplice whom no one has seen. Mr. Paladin, you just might have your hands full. Good day, sir. Come along with. Yeah. Well, Thompson, I haven't even had my breakfast yet.
Jeremy Thompson
Well, neither is I, matey.
Paladin
Order.
Jeremy Thompson
Up for two, huh?
Paladin
Constipation is something people don't talk much about, but it can be a problem for anyone, even doctors. And when constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend. Now, a majority of the doctors we heard from had this to say. A laxative should be effective, gentle, close to natural acting. A medicine that can be used with complete confidence. Well, pleasant tasting chocolated Ex lax is effective overnight. It helps you toward your normal regularity. Ex Lax is so gentle, so close to natural acting, there's no upset. That's why many doctors and millions of people use ex lax with complete confidence. Exlax the laxative that helps you toward your normal regularity. Gently overnight. Over breakfast, my cherub faced prisoner announced that he was certain that his partner would never allow me to get him as far as carson city. We took the inland stage, and by the time we reached Elk Grove, some 40 miles from San Francisco, the passengers had dwindled down to two people besides thompson and myself. One was a very old woman with a staring eye that was hard to ignore. The other was a portly whiskey drummer whose red face marked him as his own best customer. Hey, lady, Ain't I seen you somewhere before?
Hey Boy
This thing is what I call it. Handcuffing his own son.
Paladin
I said, ain't I seen you somewhere? San francisco or somewhere?
Hey Boy
When I was a girl, my father shook man used to handcuff his son.
Jeremy Thompson
Be gouger thinks I'm your son. Paladin.
Paladin
She must be blind as well as deaf. I could swear I know that lady from somewhere. Oh, officer. My name is purpo Paladin. Ah. Where are you taking your prisoner to, Mr. Paladin?
Hey Boy
Boy is handsomer than you are.
Paladin
He's a prisoner, ma'am. Not my son.
Hey Boy
Thought so. Has your eyes close? Set like?
Jeremy Thompson
Buy yourself out of that one, matey.
Hey Boy
Mother must have been fair. Gave him the look.
Paladin
Sorry I set the old girl off, Mr. Paladin. We really don't talk to ladies on these trips. Get them started. You can't shut them up. It's all right. I thought I'd seen her face somewhere, though.
Hey Boy
I go all the way to.
Paladin
There she goes again.
Hey Boy
Lillian be there to meet me. Lillian's my daughter. How's that? What do you say? Anyone catch that driver?
Paladin
What are we stopping there for? I just ain't nowhere at all. I don't know.
Hey Boy
Does anybody know why we're stopping?
Paladin
Driver, what's the matter? I got bad news. Folks have a horse that's running lame. We'll have to stop and rest him.
Hey Boy
What's he saying?
Paladin
A lame horseman.
Hey Boy
I knew it. I wanted lillian to marry a blacksmith once, but do you suppose she'd listen to me?
Paladin
Whoa. Whoa. It's hotter than the hinges of hades. Driver. Tried to get as close to that tree as I could. Now, you folks can all sit there till we're ready to go again. These dang things never break down in town.
Hey Boy
She going to help a lady down.
Paladin
Lady, I didn't bring you. Get yourself down.
Jeremy Thompson
I'll give you a hand. M. How do you know I didn't buy off the driver? Paladin? Maybe my partner's to meet us here.
Paladin
Out you go. Ths all right.
Jeremy Thompson
Maybe don't get your dander.
Hey Boy
Never gets nevada this way. Probably worried to death about me.
Paladin
We'll sit here, Thompson. Here, old girl. Take a swig of this. Things won't look so bad.
Hey Boy
It's mighty kind of you, but you'd.
Jeremy Thompson
Be apt to regret it. Mom in this evening.
Paladin
Oh, let her drink it. Let her drink it. Maybe she'll fall asleep the rest of the trip.
Jeremy Thompson
Well, it's only fair to warn her.
Paladin
Son, you ain't rid these stagecoaches with as many wind bags as I have. Whiskey usually shuts them up good and proper. Oh, there she goes again. Want to snore to this fountain? No, thanks, Mr. Purple. About you, sonny boy. Your tongue must be about to dry up and fly away.
Jeremy Thompson
No, thanks, mate. My old mother told me not to touch the stuff.
Hey Boy
Lillian had a strong mind for a long time. She came home with a buffalo hunter when she time any of you ever smelled a buffalo hunter.
Jeremy Thompson
Tell us, mother, what did he smell like?
Hey Boy
Yes, he certainly did.
Paladin
Folks, I can't push that horse anymore. We're going to have to spend the night here.
Jeremy Thompson
Oh, no.
Paladin
Driver, how soon are you going to unhitch your horses? Right away. Why? I thought I'd shackle my prisoner to one of your wheels. He'll be safe that way. All right with me.
Hey Boy
Little ensign saw the error of her ways. My good man, let me taste that whiskey.
Paladin
Go on, have a nice trip.
Hey Boy
Don't forget to phone.
Paladin
Wherever you go this summer, Keep in touch with home by long distance.
Hey Boy
Thank you. Operator.
Paladin
You calling your mother? Let me talk to her before you say goodbye.
Hey Boy
All right, I'm getting her now. Hello? Hello, mother?
Paladin
Yes?
Hey Boy
Oh, we're having a fine trip, and the weather's perfect. You getting along all right? Good. Now, if you need anything, be sure.
Paladin
To call barbara next door. When you're away this summer, put long distance to work for you, to keep in touch with the folks back home while you're away. You'll have a carefree trip knowing everything. And everyone at home is okay. Long distance rates are low. Why not call now? I watched the old lady tip the bottle to her lips. Then I looked at the boy's face. He was watching the woman agonizingly. In that moment, Jeremy told me more than he ever intended. I fastened him to the stagecoach wheel, then handcuff passing over the iron band so there was no chance of his getting away. When night fell, I made a bed for him in the road beside the wheel. I made my own bed nearby and laid down to sleep. But it was no use.
Jeremy Thompson
Can't sleep, eh?
Paladin
Those two.
Jeremy Thompson
She promised she'd never touched a drop of it again.
Paladin
Is she your partner, boy?
Jeremy Thompson
It's her.
Paladin
Who is she?
Jeremy Thompson
She's me mother.
Paladin
Your mother?
Jeremy Thompson
Did you ever hear of Jenny Birdwell?
Paladin
Jenny Birdwell?
Jeremy Thompson
The same. Oh, it doesn't make any difference now. But the governor rang me. She said she'd never touch it again.
Paladin
I saw Jenny Birdwell 20 years ago in Boston.
Jeremy Thompson
Our American cousin.
Paladin
She was wonderful. But 20 years couldn't do that to a woman.
Jeremy Thompson
20 years of drinking could do it.
Paladin
What a shame.
Jeremy Thompson
And I actually thought she was going to get me free. She said she had a way.
Paladin
But Jenny Birdwell was American.
Jeremy Thompson
My old man was English. He had a mind reading act. Came to this country in 43 when I was a little tot. Jenny's earrings started to go. She started to drink. So he left her and took me back to England.
Paladin
I see.
Jeremy Thompson
I was only four when the old man died. His sister had to raise me. When I thought I was grown enough, I came over here to look for Jenny.
Paladin
How did you happen to find her?
Jeremy Thompson
I spent three years looking. I found her all right, on the Barbary Coast.
Paladin
Barbary Coast?
Jeremy Thompson
It ain't no place for a lady. I convinced Jenny that we should go back to England. Start all over again. We needed money, so I decided to kidnap the governor's daughter.
Paladin
And that's your hanging offense?
Jeremy Thompson
$10,000. I'd figured to ask for her. That was before I'd seen how ugly she was. So I hid her out in a cave. There was a time I figured they'd never ransom her. And all the while she wanted to stay with me. Finally, I dropped it to 2000. They. They came through with the money.
Hey Boy
I'm sorry. The temptation. The temptation was too much.
Paladin
Easy now, Jimmy. Easy. You're not walking too well. You may fall.
Hey Boy
I tried, Jeremy. I tried like I promised you.
Paladin
Easy now. Easy.
Hey Boy
Done.
Paladin
You better get in the coach. Jenny. You'll have the whole seat to lie on. In you go.
Jeremy Thompson
Is she all right?
Paladin
Yes.
Hey Boy
Stay where you are, sir.
Paladin
What?
Hey Boy
I'll be forced to shoot. You tell the old girl sober. All right. Throw your gun on the ground. Do it now. I'll have the key to the handcuffs.
Jeremy Thompson
Jenny. I thought you was drunk.
Hey Boy
The key, Mr. Fellowman.
Paladin
Yes, ma'am.
Jeremy Thompson
Oh, Jenny girl, you're still the greatest actress in the world.
Hey Boy
Angie, I can't believe you papered this room. I did. Just followed one of those how to do it books. Fred didn't help you? Lately he's had nagging backache with sleepless nights and feels worn out. A person doesn't feel up to much with backache. Better tell him to try.
Paladin
Don't spills good advice. That's Doan's pills, an analgesic and mild diuretic to the kidneys. Nagging backache also headache, dizziness and muscular aches and pains May come on with overexertion, emotional upsets, or everyday stress and strain. Doan's pain relieving action is often the answer. And they also offer mild diuretic action through the kidneys. So if nagging backache is making you feel worn out, tired and miserable with restless, sleepless nights, don't wait. Try Don's pills, used successfully by millions for over 60 years. See if they don't bring you the same welcome relief. Get Doan's pills today to save money by Doan's big economy size. Jenny Birdwell stood like a fragile old bird, clutching the gun in her quivering hand. Her face mirrored great pride as she told her son she had only pretended to swallow the liquor. While she held the whiskey drummer and the driver at gunpoint. Jeremy handcuffed me to the wheel. Then he rounded up the two best horses and they rode off. The drummer found a pistol in his bag and shot the handcuffs free. I mounted a horse and rode in the direction they had gone. By morning. Their trail led towards an abandoned mountain shack. The two horses stood outside as I rode up, Jeremy and his men. Mother ran out. The old lady mounted her horse like the devil was after her. Hey, Jenny, wait. You might get hurt. Wait, Jenny.
Jeremy Thompson
Jack. Looks like you and me again.
Paladin
Get your hands up, Jeremy.
Jeremy Thompson
All right, but I ain't armed.
Paladin
Why didn't you run with her?
Jeremy Thompson
Ah, this way, at least Jenny goes free. Look at her. There's a lot of bounce in the old girl yet, huh?
Paladin
It certainly is.
Jeremy Thompson
Well, where to now, Paladin?
Paladin
Back to the stagecoach, then to Carson City.
Jeremy Thompson
You won't have to force me anymore. I'm tired of running.
Paladin
Somehow I believe you, Jeremy. Here you are, Ms. Paladin. $2,000. That isn't why I'm here, governor. But it's yours. It's part of the bargain. I got a new bargain for you, governor. New bargain? Mm. The $2,000 is yours if you don't hang Jeremy Thompson. Hang him? My good sir, bringing that boy back is a festive occasion. He's going to marry my daughter. Marry your dog? Well, then why is he in jail? Do you have daughters? No, I have no family. Then this may be rather hard for you to understand. You see, Brunhilde is the eldest of three daughters. The other two are married. Brunhilde is not. And she's almost 37. She and this Thompson boy spent some time together. And, well, Brunhilde is in love with Thompson. So that's why he was worth so much to you. You can see the money as well spent, Mr. Paladin. Take it. You've earned it. No, I can't, Governor. I brought this man in because I'd contracted to do so. But now there were certain circumstances which made me prefer not to bring the boy in. Do you understand? Not quite. Well, Governor, what happens if the boy refuses to marry your daughter? I'll give him a few weeks in jail to think about it. Then we'll hang him. I see. Even at that, I doubt if there'll be a wedding, sir. And under the circumstances, I would prefer not taking pay for this particular job. Yes, what is it?
Hey Boy
Excuse me, sir.
Paladin
Of course. Miss Henry. Come in.
Hey Boy
I didn't want to interrupt that we've had a stroke of luck.
Paladin
How's that?
Hey Boy
There's an old lady outside who wants the job as cook at the prison.
Paladin
Wonderful. That is good news, Miss Henry. Has she had any experience?
Hey Boy
Yes, sir, in several institutions back east, she says.
Paladin
Well, does she realize that she also has to serve the men in the prison, Take food into their cells?
Hey Boy
Yes, sir. I told her, and she said that she wasn't afraid.
Paladin
What do you think, Miss Henry?
Hey Boy
Oh, I think we should hire her. She's quite vigorous old lady. I think she would be more than capable.
Paladin
What's her name?
Hey Boy
Miss Birdwell.
Paladin
Birdwell. Do you know her, Paladin? No, no, no, sir. I don't think so. Very well, Miss Henry. Tell her she's hired. Start her right away.
Hey Boy
Yes, sir.
Paladin
Paladin, do you realize what a feather in my cap this is? And how's that? Why, how many women do you Know who would cook for 27 hardened criminals? Enough, Governor. What do you mean by that? Enough to cause me to change my mind. I'll take that $2,000, Miss Wong. Pardon me. Oh, Miss Wong.
Hey Boy
Oh, I say, Mr. Paladon. What do you want?
Paladin
That paper you're reading is mine, is it not?
Hey Boy
Oh, but Mr. Wong read about tong war. Terrible thing. And hey Boy.
Paladin
What about hey Boy?
Hey Boy
Oh, his name in paper, too. See.
Paladin
I don't understand why hey Boy doesn't stay out of these affairs.
Hey Boy
Oh, hey Boy. Important man in politics. Wong has to fight.
Paladin
Well, one of these days hey Boy is going to. Hey, what's this Carson City prison break? Oh, Listen to this, Ms. Wong. Last monthly at Carson City, Nevada, 27 desperate criminals made good their escape from the state prison. According to Governor Orson J. Bjorstad, they took with them as hostage an old woman who had recently been hired as a cook. Just as I expected.
Hey Boy
Mr. Parladon, what you got to say about hey Boy?
Paladin
Oh, just that one of these days, if hey Boy doesn't stay out of these tong wars, he's going to end up in jail.
Hey Boy
Ether. Maybe you better talk to him, Mr. Polygon.
Paladin
Well, if you think it'd do any good. And when you go downstairs, tell Habor to come up. But I want to talk to him.
Hey Boy
Oh, Etha. Thank you. Eat the pilot.
Paladin
Next time you refresh, enjoy a frosty, ice cold Pepsi Cola.
