All right, gambler, I’m gonna make you a bet. I’m betting Red’s gonna live because you’re gonna save her. That’s the gamble. Her life or yours.

HEY BOY Mr. Paladin. Oh na ma.

PALADIN Ho-ho.

HEY BOY “Fred Yost, killer of four including innocent bystander during a daylight hold up of banks in Twin City in Eureka continues to elude capture. Yost is famed for his callous shooting. Throwing shots at bystander and women, as well as pursuer and anyone in the way. No one has been able to pick up his trail.” You’re going to go after him, Mr. Paladin?

PALADIN Hey Boy, don’t you think it’s about time somebody did?

EXT. RIDING INTO TOWN

GUY FREMONT How about it, Junior?

JUNIOR Give me a hit. All right, that’s enough.

PALADIN I want Fred Yost, nobody else. Yost! Don’t try it.

SALOON GIRL Any shooting is done outside.

PALADIN I hope so.

BLACK SALOON GIRL Like Big Red said, mister, outside.

MAN (O.S.) Red!

PALADIN Now, lady, don’t ever do that again.

MAN Red’s been hit! Yost’s bullet.

BLACK SALOON GIRL Red? Honey, get up. Stop play acting, you ain’t dead.

BIG RED Quiet, I’m not dead yet. Hush up, I can’t stand a passel of bawling women. Never did like women very much anyway. Every time I was in trouble, it seems I was always partial to a man.

PALADIN Will I do? Come on. Looks like you’ve done enough already.

PALADIN That wasn’t my bullet that hit you. All I know is before you came in here, she was on her feet.

GAMBLER You know, it must be convenient to be able to bury your mistakes.

PALADIN Mister, will you get a doctor?

BIG RED Doc’s not in town. Nell Meeker’s having her baby tonight.

PALADIN All right, mister, will you get me some water, some clean cloths, a lamp, a pillow, and some liquor? I’ll take her. No, you won’t.

BIG RED It’s all right, Ada. You do take over, don’t you? I like the feel of a man’s arms. Oh, have you heard of Captain Smith in regimental quarters Who caused a girl to hang herself one morning in her garters? You know, my father was a soldier. He used to call me Pinky. Pinky.

PALADIN How far is that doctor?

BIG RED I don’t want to die.

PALADIN How far is the doctor?

BIG RED It’s too far out. The Meeker place is 10 miles away. I don’t even have any gray hair. You got to have gray hair before you’re ready to die. Oh, Miss Bailey Unfortunate Miss Bailey

GAMBLER Two to one she won’t last till sun-up.

BARTENDER I’m not sure about that. Red’s pretty tough. She’s may be hard to kill.

PALADIN Clean out that backroom. Clear that table off.

SLIM Wait a minute, not there. Not there, not there. Put the hot water down there.

PALADIN I’m gonna try and lift you. You go real easy now and I’ll try not to hurt you.

SLIM That’s right, put the sheets down here. Come along.

BIG RED You always think you have time, plenty of time. I’ve never been married. I was going to do that. I’ve never had a baby, either. Nell Meeker’s having her baby tonight. How come does she have time for that and not me? I’ll go make a bet.

PALADIN I’m gonna need some more water. Hot. Is she going to die?

PALADIN No.

BIG RED Guy, honey.

GUY FREMONT Hello, Red.

BIG RED I thought we broke up. Excuse me. Well, boys, what are the odds, huh? Horyce is giving two to one Red doesn’t last till sun-up.

SLIM Well, let’s raise the limit, huh? Let’s make it five to one?

96 00:10:30,109 –> 00:10:31,337 Which way?

97 00:10:33,579 –> 00:10:35,513 You’re betting against her?

98 00:10:35,648 –> 00:10:37,878 I never let sentiment interfere with business.

99 00:10:38,017 –> 00:10:39,177 All right, who’s taking?

100 00:10:39,319 –> 00:10:41,810 – Don’t seem right, somehow. – Well, Guy ought to know.

101 00:10:41,955 –> 00:10:45,186 – Well, if you ought to know. – All right, I’ll throw in with you.

102 00:10:45,325 –> 00:10:47,850 – How long till sun-up. – Red, down.

103 00:10:47,994 –> 00:10:52,055 Let’s see. About two hours.

104 00:10:52,198 –> 00:10:53,256 Red’s pretty tough.

105 00:10:53,399 –> 00:10:55,026 Here’s a 100.

106 00:10:55,168 –> 00:10:57,500 Are you sure about this, Guy?

107 00:10:57,637 –> 00:10:59,662 It’s my considered opinion.

108 00:10:59,806 –> 00:11:02,434 All right, we’ll give him five to one Red doesn’t last till sun-up.

109 00:11:02,508 –> 00:11:03,440 Who wants the action?

BIG RED I’d like some of that money.

111 00:11:06,245 –> 00:11:08,907 Always was a sucker for a long shot.

112 00:11:09,048 –> 00:11:10,037 Me, too.

113 00:11:10,183 –> 00:11:12,344 Five to one Red doesn’t last till sun-up.

114 00:11:12,485 –> 00:11:17,752 Guess I have too much at stake to think straight.

PALADIN I’ll bet on you, Red.

BIG RED Is Guy betting against me? Better save your money.

118 00:11:42,382 –> 00:11:43,849 All right, we’re giving five to one,

119 00:11:43,983 –> 00:11:46,315 Red doesn’t last till sun-up. Who wants the odds?

120 00:11:46,452 –> 00:11:48,886 Aah.

GUY FREMONT The knight of the sorrowful countenance, huh?

PALADIN You’re laying five to one that Red won’t live?

GUY FREMONT That’s right.

PALADIN I’ve got a $1,000 that says your wrong.

GUY FREMONT That’s $5,000. That’s a $1,000, mister. Want part of it?

128 00:13:12,872 –> 00:13:13,930 I’ll take half of it. Come on, let’s have a poker game while we’re waiting.

130 00:13:16,275 –> 00:13:18,243 Head over here.

PALADIN Now, are you a doctor?

GUY FREMONT No.

PALADIN Have you ever been a doctor?

PALADIN Well, did you ever study to be a doctor?

GUY FREMONT Yes.

PALADIN And you’d use your talent and your skill merely to decide whether or not that girl is gonna die?

GUY FREMONT Now, look, Red’s gonna to die because of a bullet, not because of anything I do or do not do. Because of a bullet lodged close to the left ventricle of the heart, I’d say. Now, she’s going to die because of something that I didn’t have anything to do with, which is more than you can say.

PALADIN The difference is that you are a doctor.

GUY FREMONT I’m a gambler.

PALADIN All right, gambler, I’m going to make a bet. I’ll bet you that Big Red lives because you’re going to save her.

GUY FREMONT What if I can’t save her?

PALADIN That’s the gamble. Her life or yours.

M Hey, Guy, we’ve got some time till sun-up. You want us deal you in?

GUY FREMONT Go ahead without me. But, I’ll have to get my bag.

PALADIN Ada will get your bag.

GUY FREMONT I haven’t practiced in ten years. And I never really was a doctor. Of course, my father was a doctor. But…Oh, I couldn’t stand the suffering. The pain. My hand could slip. They’re not going to be exactly over-joyed if they lose their money.

PALADIN As I said, it’s a gamble.

166 00:15:52,565 –> 00:15:54,692 Why is everything so quiet back there? She’s dying back there. Like that feller said, a woman should be able to die in peace.

VERN She’s sure taking her time about it. Go outside and check the light again.

171 00:16:04,744 –> 00:16:07,474 Oh, Vern, I was just outside. It ain’t even starting to streak yet.

VERN Go check again. I’ve got everything I own on this bet.

PALADIN Doctor?

174 00:16:21,427 –> 00:16:23,327 Pour some whiskey in a basin.

175 00:16:28,534 –> 00:16:31,731 – Deal the cards. – You got to wait for Vern.

GUY FREMONT Can’t you keep them quiet?

PALADIN No, they wouldn’t go with the others, and they won’t keep quiet.

BIG RED O, Miss Bailey Unfortunate Miss Bailey Guy, honey. What are you doing here?

PALADIN He’s going to take the bullet out of you, Red.

BIG RED With money against me? Oh, no he doesn’t. You don’t know him. He’d do anything for a bet.

PALADIN That’s what I’m counting on.

GUY FREMONT If Red doesn’t want me to operate…

PALADIN Oh, no. No, you don’t get out of it that way. “To save a man against his will is just as bad as killing him.” That’s Horace.

PALADIN I never cared for Horace, and I’m beginning understand why.

BIG RED Guy? Mister? Guy? I can stand being dead, but I can’t stand dying. Do something.

PALADIN You agree to let him operate on you, Red?

BIG RED Told you I was a sucker for a long shot.

201 00:18:19,278 –> 00:18:21,746 Well, it won’t be long now It’s starting to…

202 00:18:21,881 –> 00:18:24,042 Oh, Pete. It’s starting to grey.

203 00:18:24,183 –> 00:18:26,481 I’ve got men posted along the street to tell us when it breaks.

204 00:18:26,619 –> 00:18:27,916 Oh, drink your drink. You’re sober as a judge, and I don’t like judges.

M Here, Flora, bet that at 23, will you? What you going to do with all that money, Vern, if you win it?

VERN I’ll win it, all right. I’ll go to San Francisco and get drunk.

M You’re drunk now.

VERN I don’t like anybody calling me drunk.

M We were just funning you, Vern. You know that.

VERN Well, it ain’t funny. Deal the cards.

M How’s she doing It’s almost sun-up.

PALADIN Here you go. Easy. Little more.

BIG RED Enough. I’ll get drunk. The house shouldn’t get drunk. It’s bad for the game.

PALADIN Now Red… Red, listen to me. It’s important that you don’t move. I gonna hold your shoulders like this. And it’s important that you don’t move, do you understand?

BIG RED Not very well.

GUY FREMONT I can’t do it. It’s been too long, ten years. I won’t be any good. Besides what difference does it makes to me? If she dies, you’ll kill me. If she lives, they probably kill me.

PALADIN The difference, Doctor, is “probably”. You can be absolutely certain of me.

BIG RED Try, honey. It never used to be hard for you to cause me pain.

VERN Hey, Arnie, go back there and see what’s going on.

M Aw, Vern, let her die in peace. The sun ain’t up yet.

VERN You heard what I said. Go see what Guy’s doing. He’s supposed to be playing a hand with us.

PALADIN Well?

GUY FREMONT I feel it. Steady, can’t you keep her steady?

PALADIN Get out of here.

MEN Go on! Hey, they’re taking the bullet out of Big Red. Guy’s taking out the bullet. What? Why that dirty… We bet because of him. Hey, what do you think you’re doing!

PALADIN Get rid of him. Like you say, it’s a gamble.

GUY FREMONT Red. I don’t want you to die, Red.

PALADIN Red’s gonna be all right. She’s gonna live. That’s right, Guy did it. He’ll pay off. We got a girl in there that needs some peace and quiet!

GUY FREMONT So how am I going to pay off?

RED Guess you’ll have to go to work, Guy. You’re a rotten gambler, taking those odds and betting against yourself. Guess all you’re fit for is doctoring.

PALADIN Well, doctor?

GUY FREMONT In spite of myself.

Odds for Big Red

When a saloon owner is shot while Paladin takes down a wanted killer, the only person who can save her is her ex-boyfriend... who is betting against her living until sunup.

At the Carlton, Paladin is reading about the failed search for an outlaw killer, Frank Yost, who guns down anyone in his way. He calls Hey Boy and tells him to send his card.

He goes into the saloon, Red's, and everyone falls silent as he comes in. He tells them that he just wants Frank, and everyone gets out of the way.…

Have Gun, Will Travel Season 5 Episodes

• Drama, Action & Adventure
• Watchlist Where to Watch

One of TV's most successful Westerns told of the hired gun Paladin, who plied his trade in 19th-century San Francisco with a calling card ('Have Gun, Will Travel...') that belied the compelling loner's cultured manner. When he wasn't eating fine food, engaged in polite conversation and dressed impeccably, he was an intimidating gunman dressed in black, striking out for the frontier and ready to kill if necessary. He was, as the theme song put it, 'a knight without armor in a savage land.'

Ep 4. Odds for Big Red

Paladin is back again, riding his faithful horse along a dusty trail. In this episode of Have Gun, Will Travel season 5 entitled "Odds for Big Red," Paladin finds himself challenged to a high-stakes poker game against a wealthy rancher named Big Red.

The game is being held at a saloon in the town of Sonora, where Paladin is currently living. Paladin's friend, "Sidekick" Johnny, reasons with him that he will be able to earn enough money to buy himself a new living space in the city if he wins. But Paladin is hesitant at first, knowing full well that Big Red has a reputation for being a cunning and ruthless gambler. However, his pride gets the best of him and he accepts the offer.

Before the game begins, Big Red and Paladin engage in a heated conversation about what it takes to be a good gambler. Big Red boasts that he has never lost a game of poker in his life, while Paladin argues that skill and strategy are what make a great gambler, not just luck. It's clear from the start that this game will be more than just a simple game of cards.

The saloon is full of onlookers eager to see the two men battle it out. Despite being in a potentially life-changing situation, Paladin maintains his cool and shows no signs of nerves. The hands are dealt, and the game is underway.

Throughout the game, various characters enter and exit the saloon, adding to the tension and excitement around the poker game. Some characters are cheering on Big Red, while others side with Paladin. The stakes continue to rise with each hand that is played, and the tension between the two men grows thicker with each passing moment.

As the night wears on, Paladin senses that something is amiss. Big Red begins playing recklessly, disregarding strategy and commonly accepted rules of the game. Paladin quickly understands that Big Red has enlisted the help of a group of con artists, who are signaling him with their movements and gestures.

Paladin confronts Big Red, and they engage in a passionate yet civil exchange of words. Big Red eventually admits to cheating, but argues that it's all part of successful gambling. Paladin, who believes in upholding fair play at all costs, is dissatisfied with this response.

In a carefully thought-out plan, Paladin sets up a trap for Big Red, revealing his cheating tactics to everyone in the saloon. Big Red is forced to concede defeat, having lost both the game and his credibility as a gambler.

The episode ends with Paladin walking away from the saloon, having proven to both himself and Big Red that true gambling requires integrity and strategy. As always, he rides off into the sunset, ready for his next adventure.

Overall, "Odds for Big Red" is an engaging and entertaining episode that captures the essence of Have Gun, Will Travel's unique mix of action, drama, and suspense. With masterful performances from Richard Boone as Paladin and a dynamic cast of supporting characters, this episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
