Have Gun - Will Travel The Search (1957–1963) watch online HD

A dying widow calls Paladin to her bedside and in the presence of the last of her three sons, hires him to locate the one who's been missing for years. (Another son, sadly, was lost to a long-ago hunting accident.) A note from a private detective indicates he has located the missing son, but now the detective has vanished as well.

The remaining son has very good reasons for not wanting to find his brother but lacks the moral courage to divulge them to his mother - - or to Paladin, who is at any rate determined to find out what happened to the man he personally knew as a thoroughly professional investigator.

Paladin discovers that his former friend has been brutally murdered in a small town held firmly under the heel of a Land Agent who calls himself "Harper". Harper, a sinister, bad-tempered figure armed with a bull whip is a man who in today's parlance has clearly "gone over to the dark side", hating anyone who does not fear or show absolute willingness to serve him. But his greatest wrath is directed toward the town's Preacher -- a gentle, godly man whose very existence rouses him to fury. When the Preacher, clearly beloved by many townsfolk, starts to deliver a sermon based on the Old Testament story of Cain and Abel, Harper explodes; even Paladin falls victim to his near-homicidal rage.

At the story's end the widow's sole faithful son is forced to reveal what he has hidden all these years, fearing what the Truth will do to his frail mother. Paladin. opening the Preacher's trampled Bible and reading excerpts from both Proverbs and the Book of Isaiah, has the perfect solution to his quandary.

For me this episode had me angry and i laughed. The scene paladin is whipped in his back and can't get to his peacemaker is ridiculous, he wimps out against Charles Aidman. Martin Kilmer who throttled Ainslie. The poor old mom missed her killer son. What a mess. Dark & Menacing...

Richard Boone was really being let down by his scripts during this season. In this episode, Paldin is hired by Mrs. Kilmer, a dying old woman to find her missing son. Her surviving son Lane (Wright King) discourages Paladin from looking, but of course that doesn't stop him.

They track the brother down. He's now known as Harper (Charles Aidman) who runs a town with an iron fist and a bull whip. He actually gets the better of Paldin at one point, leaving the meek Lane to kill his own brother. They decide to tell the dying mom that her missing son was not Harpeer, but a kindly preacher that Harper had strung up and killed.

What bugs me is that they really had a good opportunity to do more with this script. They never explore Lane's real reasons for NOT wanting to find his brother (he's due to inherit ALL her money if they don't find him); it could have turned out Lane also actually killed their third brother; and he could very well have killed the brother they're looking for. Instead, its too straight forward and by the numbers obvious.

Also unexplained is WHY harper wouldn't WANT to be found. He's due to inherit some dough, and a guy like this is all about the $.

Boone is typically very good, as is Aidman, but this story is just flat and disappointing.
