[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

And.

[Andrew Rines]

And the title is the map. Let's get into it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I memorized the map and destroyed it. If you kill me, you'll never find the money. Have Gun will travel. Starring Mr. John Dana as Paladin. San Francisco, 1875. The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of a man called Paladin. Mr. Paladin.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Mr. Paladin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Open door. All right, all right. Yes, yes, yes. What's all the excitement here, boy? Oh, Mr. Paladin, you in trouble with army? In trouble with the army? Why, no. Oh, that's a good. Why do you ask?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Well, here, boy. Here.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Army colonel asked for you downstairs.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

And hey, boy, thought maybe you in.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Trouble, Give you a chance to get away. Oh, too late, huh? It's Potter. Colonel Potter. Well, Potter, what are you doing?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Good to see you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Last I heard of you, you were on the trail of those payroll bandits. What are you doing now?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Well, I'm still on their trail. That's why I've come to you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Three years and you still haven't caught them, huh? Well, come on in.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Come on in. Thanks.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I'll talk to you later. Hey, boy.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Oh, you saw.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Well, sit down, John. Have a cigar.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Oh, thank you. Here. Well, you. You seem to have done all right, Paladin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Oh, I. I try.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I just hope you're not so well off. You can't use $500.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I can always use $500, John. You want me to join the search, huh?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Well, we're getting close to him, Paladin. With your help, I think we can get him.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

How close are you?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

How much do you remember the case?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Well, let me think. It was a payroll for Fort Anderson. Two men made off of the money, and they took. How much was it?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

$80,000? 90,000.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

90.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

And there were three men in on it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Three?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

That's right. We discovered there was an army man involved. He did all the inside work. Didn't take us long to find him. A private by the name of Jim griffin. We've been hauling him in the prison at the presidio.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Money's not doing him much good, is it?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

No. No, but he never got his hands on it anyway.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What makes you think so?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

This.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What's that?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

We found it in his personal effects. It's a piece of a map. It indicates the position of the payroll money.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

And you think they buried it?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Yes. Yes. Jim Griffin's been in the hospital at the prison for the last six months. Part of that time, he's been delirious. We've heard him mumbling about the map, and from what we can gather, he and the other two men made a pact to have somebody bury the money and draw up a map. And apparently, they divided the map into three pieces.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Who buried the money?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

We don't know. But whoever it was, they killed him. We learned that much from Griffin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

He's also been talking about meeting the.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Others on December 12th, or it'll be too late.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I see. Now, where do I fit in with your plans? Well.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Jim Griffin died this morning.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Oh.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

We want you to be Jim Griffin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What are you talking about? John?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Yeah. Take a look at this tintype.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Let's see.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

It's a picture of griffin taken several years ago.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

This. This is Griffin.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

You look enough like him to be his twin. Paladin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I say, will you do it? Well, I don't know, John. This map gives no location. I wouldn't know where to start.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Oh, we can help you there. Griffin has a girlfriend who's come to visit him three or four times. She probably knows where the meeting place is.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

And if she doesn't, maybe the other.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Two men will come looking for you. Like I said, There's $500 reward. Providing, of course, that you get the proof on the other man and get the money back.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

How do you want the money stacked, John?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Then you'll do it?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I'll do it. Colonel Potter, shake hands with Jim Griff. There's no doubt about it. Show business is the business of entertainment. And performers are very far from being dull folk. And this is a matter you'll have a lot of fun verifying when the Mitch Miller show brings sparkling show business chatter and personalities your way over these CBS radio stations. Give Mitch Miller and his show business guests a listen and you'll prove it to yourself. You can be sure a very good time will be had by all, yourself included, when you get better acquainted with your favorite limelight personalities on the Mitch Miller Show. Three days later, I had become Jim Griffin. Colonel Potter gave me as much information as they had of the man's background, and I was dishonorably discharged from the Army. I even said goodbye to Griffin's old cellmates and to a man, they accepted me. But the real test was to come with Anna Baker, Griffin's girlfriend. The colonel's men had found out that she lived with her mother 15 miles from San Francisco. If I could get by the girl, I could get by anybody as Jim Griffin. Early one morning, I rode out there, and as I came into the yard, an old woman greeted me, followed by a flock of chickens she'd been feeding. Hello there.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Yes.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Mrs. Baker. Don't you know me?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

I know you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I've. I've come to see Anna.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Not here. It was up to me. She'd never be here. To you, Griffin.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Go on.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

I got work to do.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

When will she be back?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

I don't know. Took a horse to be shod.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Do you mind if I wait?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Jim Griffin, you ain't welcome here. You brought nothing but Sarah to us. Now, why don't you just ride out of Anna's life?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I am leaving, Mrs. Baker. I just wanted to say goodbye to Anna.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Here she comes. Have your goodbye and be done with her. Jim.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Hello, Anna.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Jim. They told me you were sick. They wouldn't let me see you. They said you didn't know when. When I could see you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What's the matter? Why are you looking at me that way?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

You've. You've changed, Jim.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, well, prison does things to a man.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Ask me, it ain't done enough to you. Mother, please. You should have killed him, Jim. Are you. You out of the army now?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, I'm out all right. For good.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Anna Wiley Carson was by a day before Yesterday.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Wiley?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Yes. He said I was to see you. They wouldn't let me in at the prison. Said I was to get something from you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Oh, what?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

You know, the piece of map. Have you got it?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, I've got it.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Wiley said maybe you'd give it to me now that you're out, you can meet him yourself.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Did he say where?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

The Blue Nose Saloon in Johnson City. But you have to hurry.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Will you. Will you come back this way? Jim?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

You know I will, Anna.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

It's a promise.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

It's a promise.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Good luck.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Bye.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Johnson City consisted of a Main street, some 20 odd houses and a Blue Nose Saloon. There I waited for Wiley Carson. I didn't know what he looked like, but I sat at a table where I could see anyone who entered and they could see me. I waited a whole day, then most of another.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

How about another drink, mister?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Well, yeah, fine. All right, right away.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I say now, it ain't none of my business, but are you waiting for somebody?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

You're right, it isn't any of your business.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

No offense, mister.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Just that I. I don't remember seeing you before. I been sitting here for two days now. You just passing through?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Maybe, maybe not.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

No offense. Now you understand. I just thought I'd ask. Hey, bartender, how about a drink? They coming right away, Mister, I think I'll get. Well, looky here, but ain't the delight of the Army. Jim Griffin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Hello, Wiley.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Bartender, you can bring my drink over here. Yes, sir. This is a good pretty. Didn't think they'd ever let you out. I was expecting Anna.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I decided to come myself.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

You look different, Jim. That prison done things to you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

You try it sometime.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

You here? Courtesy of the warden.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Discharge, huh?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Dishonorable.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Sounds like. Maybe they know we was to have a meeting.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What are you trying to say, Wiley?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I'm saying maybe you're working for the army now. Maybe a couple of years in prison. They got you.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

You listen to me, Carson. I spent two years in that rotten, stinking hole just dreaming of the time when we can get that money.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I was wrong, Jim. That prison made you meaner than ever.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, well, you just remember that, Wiley.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I remember, Jim. You. You two friends ready for your drinks now?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Just set them down.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Yes, sir. You. You bring your piece of the map?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I've got it.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Let's see it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I said I've got it.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

All right, all right. Don't get hard about it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Now. You've been outside. What are the plans now?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Same as they were three years ago. All right, we meet Jake tomorrow At the cabinet. Hard Rock, just like we agreed, Jim.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

We better get started. Drink up.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Stuff so bad, we better take a couple of bottles with us now.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Suit yourself.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Yeah, you ain't the old Jim. I remember the old days. You'd have wanted to bring a bottle yourself.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Hey, listen to me, Wiley. There's only one thing I want. I've been waiting three years for that money, Jim.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

We all been waiting.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Serving time in a stinking 2x4 cell.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I'll get me a bottle. We'll go right now, Jim.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Hard Rock was 60 miles from Johnson City. The most direct route ran through a series of grassy plateaus that finally tapered out into high desert country. I knew that land like the back of my hand. And so I knew the easiest way to get there. Wiley and I didn't talk much. I preferred not to. Towards sundown that day, he began to try to steer me away from the best route. But I stuck to my guns. I was soon to find out the reason for his actions.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

You're getting off the train trail, Jim.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

No, I'm not. This is the best way and you know it.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I think we'd ought to be heading more into them hills.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

No, this is the way.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Sure you don't want a drink, Jim?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Nope.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

And I'll have one.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Oh, boy.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Stuff's beginning to taste better the farther we get from town. Yeah.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Now let's go wasting time. Hey, wait a minute. Look over there.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Where? I don't see nothing.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

No, over that way. The horse. All saddled, just standing there.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Oh, yeah, I see it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Come on, come.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

On.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

And Wiley, there's somebody in the ground.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

So there is.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

The heat must have gotten them.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Yeah, the heat.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Hey, this man's been shot. Wiley, give me a hand.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Stand where you are, mister.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What are you doing? Put that gun away.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Who are you?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

What's the matter with you?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Wiley, throw down your gun.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Why?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Because that ain't no man lying there. That's Jake, the one we're supposed to meet. You didn't recognize him. Now that gun. Throw it down easy, like. Now, we're gonna have ourselves a little talk. Then I'm gonna get you a piece of the map and kill you just like I'd done to Jake. Look, Bob, here's why you can't balance these books. Put this little item over here and you come out. Okay? You're right. Then what's wrong with you?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I've had a nagging backache lately with sleepless nights. Makes me feel worn out.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

And why not do something about it? But what I'D try Doan's Pills. 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. Don't's pain relieving action is often the answer.

All right, that's far enough. Sit down right here. I'm gonna find out who you really are. You sure had me fooled, mister. You're enough like Jim to be his twin.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

So you killed Jake to get his piece of the map, is that it?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I'll ask the questions.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

You're tough, aren't you?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Talk, mister. Who are you?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

That's my business.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I'll make you talk. I'll hand over that map.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I haven't got it.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

I guess you think I'm fooling.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I told you, I haven't got it.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

It'd be awful easy for me to kill you, mister, and then take it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I wouldn't do you any good. I memorized it, threw it away. You kill me and you won't get anything. Let's go, Harley. You won't kill me, Wiley.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

No, I. No.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

No, I didn't think so.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

But we got to get that money.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

All right, then you show me the pieces of map you have and I can take us to it.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Guess I'm going to have to trust you, mister.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

I guess you are at that.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Wyoming.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Should be here. Wy. Unless.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Unless what?

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, well, unless somebody got to it before we did.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

And keep digging.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, there's something here.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

You sure? Yeah, that's it. That's the box I was in.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

All right, give me a hand.

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

Dig it out.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Yeah, it's too heavy for me. Will you give me a hand?

[Colonel Potter / Wiley Carson / Male Supporting Characters]

All right, but I'll be holding this gun on you. Don't try nothing.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Maybe not. You give me that gun you need. Wiley. Wiley. Well, you asked for it.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Turn around, mister.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Anna.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Drop the gun.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Anna. Why are you doing this?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

I've come for Billy's money.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

Billy?

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

My brother Billy. Open that box.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

You're making a mistake.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

Open it.

[Paladin (John Dana)]

All right.

[Mrs. Baker / Anna Baker / Ms. Wong / Female Supporting Characters]

You didn't really think you could fool a man's woman, did you?

[Paladin (John Dana)]
