aliassmithjonesThis episode could have been subtitled Men Suck. Even by early 70s standards. Including, I am sorry to say, the Kid, who really needs to work on his madonna-whore complex.
It’s the last of the episodes where the main actors are split up for the sake of the shooting schedule and it’s the only one where the writers make real use of the absence of one character to pack an emotional punch. This is because – as we find out in the fucking TEASER; what brain-dead abomination on the production team made this lunatic decision??? – Heyes gets shot in the head and is out for the count for most of the episode. Cue angst on the part of the Kid, not to mention the audience.
But I, like the teaser, am getting ahead of myself. The episode proper opens with Heyes and Curry out shooting mountain lions. According to the ASJ book this is because the studio had plenty of stock footage of mountain lions being shot. Ok, well, it’s good to know no new mountain lions were harmed in the making of this series. The boys are shooting them because they’re being paid $300 per lion by the farmer they’re staying with, a guy called Jake Carlson, who has a mountain lion problem. He also has a wife problem, but he doesn’t know this yet. Heyes is very blasé about possibly being in close proximity to a cougar because he thinks the tracks they’re following are two days old. The Kid says more like two hours old. Guess which of them gets jumped by a mountain lion? Luckily the Kid is famous for his fast draw and the studio gets to use its endangered-animals-being-shot footage.
That evening Jake Carlson, who is not only paying them, but also putting them up and organising their social life (it’s a bit like being an au pair), takes them off in his buggy along with his foreman Harvey Bishop to a poker game with “your kind of people”. It transpires that what Jake thinks are the boys’ kind of people are a judge and a sheriff, plus a couple of other solid citizens. Under the circumstances, the boys don’t dare to win anything, which amuses me greatly. The judge asks what they do when they aren’t shooting mountain lions, to which the Kid replies “Anything wholesome and honest,” earning himself a exasperated look from Heyes. Heheh, I like this episode. Then it’s Heyes’s turn to shuffle and he realises – from the weight of the pack alone – that there’s a card missing. It’s the ace of hearts and it turns up under the table in a location sufficiently ambiguous that no one can be sure there was cheating involved, but no one is certain that there wasn’t.
The next day, someone shoots and kills the judge. Heyes and Curry go to his funeral, which is extremely well-attended. No one can figure out why he was killed. Jake Carlson says everyone loved him, to which the sheriff replies that “somebody didn’t.” How true. A couple of scenes later, someone else from the poker game gets shot and killed. Once again, the boys attend the funeral and the Kid tells Heyes that he thinks it’s odd that they only know 10 people in a town of 200, but they knew both the men who died. This is unusually prescient of the Kid. According to the ASJ book, the reason for this is that the episode was originally written with the two main roles reversed, i.e. the Kid got shot and Heyes did the Sherlocking, which makes sense in terms of their characterisation so far. The logistically-minded will be wondering how it would have helped the schedule to have Pete Duel soloing in two episodes, but there is a simple answer: The Man Who Murdered Himself was originally written with the Kid in mind. I didn’t notice this at all the first time I saw the episodes, but in retrospect there a couple of points where you can see the seams. In TMWMH, the scene with the fancy shooting is rather unexpected for Heyes, as is the campfire scene where he’s sitting off all by himself (Heyes is so gregarious that it’s impossible to see this as in-character, unless he was suffering the antisocial effects of too many beans). And, it must be said, falling for a demure innocent is also a very Kid Curry thing to do. I wonder if the showrunners swapped the roles around when they realised they’d got Hayley Mills on board, deciding to have her play opposite the more highly-paid of their two stars? Whatever their reasoning, in The Fifth Victim, the swap is mostly noticeable in the Kid’s increased powers of analytical thought. However, as with Heyes’s fancy shooting, I actually like the fact that the boys get to expand a little into the other’s area of expertise, it gives the characters more nuance. And it makes things more interesting when the Kid’s gut is sometimes more accurate than Heyes’s rational brain.
Back to the episode. Heyes reckons the Kid is overthinking things. They have a farewell drink and leave town. As they ride along, the Kid advances the theory that the killings are related to the poker game. Heyes pooh-poohs the idea and at that moment, to absolutely no one’s surprise because we’ve all seen the teaser, a shot rings out and Heyes jerks backwards and falls off his horse. He rolls down a slope and the Kid, in a panic, leaps off his own horse and tears after him. This is some top quality hurt/comfort. Heyes is sprawled on his back, out like a light, and the Kid flings himself down next to him. There’s an odd little moment where he reaches for Heyes’s face with his right hand and then stops and and very gently and carefully turns Heyes’s head with his left, presumably to see the wound. I’m guessing Ben Murphy instinctively used his right hand, then remembered he was supposed to use his left so as not to block the camera and course-corrected fast enough that they could still use the shot, but whatever the reason, I really like it. It gives the scene the irrational, panicky quality of someone not knowing quite what to do when faced with a genuinely overwhelming situation.
Cut to Heyes lying in bed surrounded by the Carlsons, the Kid and a doctor, who is gently dabbing a bit of blood off his forehead. The doctor says the bullet came “as close to killing him as anything I’d ever care to see,” but that there’s no fracturing, so I take it Heyes is suffering from concussion. Jake Carlson says he’ll pay for anything the doctor can do to fix him up, which considering Heyes is just a hired hand is absolutely lovely of him. I’m firmly on Team Jake and hope he isn’t next in the shooter’s sights.
It’s now obvious that the Kid’s theory is correct and the killings are somehow tied in with the poker game. More confirmation, if any were needed, comes when another of the players goes to tell the sheriff that he has the same theory and is getting out of town before it’s too late. Then he sets off – after dark, no less! – for his appointment in Samarra. For obvious reasons, the sheriff shoots straight to the top of my list of suspects.
So far, so fun. But now the story takes a darker turn. Rachel Carlson goes out to get water from the well at night, only to be accosted by Harvey Bishop, who wants to talk about their “relationship” and get things “straight” between them. Rachel insists there is no relationship and nothing to get straight, but Harvey won’t take no for an answer. He assaults her – I’m sorry, but in my book holding someone so they can’t get away and non-consensually kissing their neck is sexual assault. The Kid chooses this moment to step outside and I am all relief, for we all know the Kid can’t resist a damsel in distress. But what’s this?! The Kid’s Sherlock skills desert him at the crucial moment and he misreads the situation. Despite Rachel’s body language clearly saying, “Get off me, you bastard!” the Kid assumes any woman locked in an extra-marital embrace must be having an affair.
Rachel mysteriously doesn’t go straight to her husband to tell him to sack this dangerous stalker who’s having an imaginary romance with her, so I can only assume that Jake would assume that there’s no smoke without fire and is therefore a lot less of a lovely person than I thought he was. However, the next day he manages to win back a little of my lost regard when the Kid tells him he’s going out to shoot some more mountain lions. Jake, no slouch in the psychology department, deduces that the Kid is trying to draw out the murderer and would rather go out and get himself killed than sit around watching Heyes lying unconscious. Aw, Kid! This bit definitely works better with the Kid in the active role. Off he goes, and sure enough he gets shot at and dives athletically off his horse into a river, and there then follows what is really a very long sequence of him hiding in a crack in the rocks with the shooter’s boots walking around looking for him until AT LAST the camera pans up and we see that it is evil psychopathic stalker Harvey Bishop. And not the sheriff. Oh, well, we can’t all be Sherlock Holmes.
The Kid heads over to the sheriff’s office but the sheriff won’t be in for a couple of hours, so the Kid decides to kill some time by – honestly, I’m so embarrassed for him – shagging the sex worker who is Harvey Bishop’s ex-girlfriend. I mean, really, Kid! Your friend is so nearly at death’s door that you were all set to commit suicide by murderer in your grief and frustration, and now you’re banging a saloon girl? Presumably because the Kid feels a certain amount of cognitive dissonance about his behaviour, he explains to the young woman, whose name is Helen, that his real motivation is not sex but (a) wanting to find out more about Harvey Bishop (NOT WEIRD AT ALL, thinks Harvey’s ex-girlfriend) and (b) wanting to know if Mrs Carlson and Harvey ever had a thing going. Heyes is potentially DYING and THIS is what you’re worried about? And you think Harvey’s ex-girlfriend is the person to ask for an honest and unbiased opinion?! Oh Kid, that brain upgrade didn’t last long, did it? Helen says that the whole town knows Harvey and Rachel were having an affair, and then she and the Kid bang.
Having managed to combine detecting and getting laid, the Kid goes back to see the sheriff. I cannot imagine this scene being played this way if Heyes had been in the Kid’s role, because Heyes knows how to sweet talk authority. The Kid, by contrast, plonks himself down in the sheriff’s chair and puts his feet up on the sheriff’s table and tells the sheriff with an air of smug superiority that he knows who did the murders. It was Harvey Bishop. “Oh yeah, punk?” thinks the sheriff and tells him that it can’t have been Harvey because Harvey has just been shot – he is the Fifth Victim! This takes the wind right out of the Kid’s sails and he presumably regrets having made himself quite so at home in the sheriff’s office. The sheriff points out that this only leaves two suspects still alive and basically accuses the Kid of shooting Heyes. They both go over to the Carlsons’ to see if Heyes has woken up and can clear – or, as the sheriff clearly hopes, implicate – the Kid.
Luckily for the Kid, Heyes has indeed come round, at least sort of. He’s staring in a very unsettling way at things only he can see and muttering to himself. Rachel, who has taken on the job of caring for him, asks him how he feels, and almost the first thing he asks in response is, “Where’s the Kid?” No longer at a brothel, Heyes, if that’s any consolation.
The sheriff comes in and asks him if he can remember whether his partner was riding in front of or behind him when he was shot, and Heyes, who even in his semi-concussed state is quick on the uptake, lies and says the Kid was in front of him. When I started writing these reviews, I swore not to complain every time the show violated the laws of physics for the sake of the plot, so I will not ponder the trajectory of a bullet which, when shot from behind, knocks a man backwards off his horse. Suffice it to say that the sheriff is satisfied, the Kid is off the hook, and he and Heyes share a Moment.
The next day, the Kid tells Rachel he’s figured it out. She and Harvey were having an affair so Harvey decided to kill Jake, but first he shot everyone else who had been at the poker game in order to disguise his true motive. Jake figured this out in time and shot Harvey. Rachel is understandably appalled, devastated, disgusted and dismayed by this outrageous accusation. She confronts her husband, who admits he believed the rumours of the affair, but only once Harvey started killing people. Rachel says she can’t forgive him for believing she “would actually have something to do with an insane man who was killing people.” I think Rachel is missing the point here. Jake believed that she went along with Harvey’s plan to kill HIM. I really don’t see how there’s any coming back from that. It’s a lot worse than going out for a shag while your friend is on his death-bed.
Meanwhile the sheriff has also figured out what’s going on and arrives to arrest Jake, who flees. Rachel sends the sheriff and his deputy off the wrong way after they’ve made it very clear that Jake is going to hang for murder, assuming he doesn’t get shot during the arrest. Rachel then blackmails the Kid into going off to retrieve Jake by threatening to reveal his true identity, which Heyes blabbed while his mind was wandering. The Kid duly sets off, and hey, it’s just struck me that this is the story Liar Lady told Heyes about HER supposed husband in Return to Devil’s Hole. Except she actually went with Heyes, and really, it would make a lot more sense for Rachel to go with the Kid. In fact, she doesn’t even need the Kid. She could just have gone off after Jake herself. We’ve already seen she can ride. Some of the Men Who Suck were clearly on the writing team.
Oh well. The Kid does a good job of retrieving Jake and says he’ll testify that he shot Harvey in self-defence (I also swore I wouldn’t complain about the show’s weird understanding of the law, so let’s just assume it does count as self-defence if you deliberately go out and shoot someone instead of telling the sheriff he’s after you). The Carlsons’ marriage is now going to be fine, Rachel will just have to swallow her pride and accept that standing by your man means sometimes having to put up with him accusing you of wanting him murdered.
Heyes is still too wobbly to ride far, but the doctor has said stagecoaches are okay, so he rather unsteadily mounts his horse to ride to the coach stop. Rachel promises she won’t ever tell anyone who they really are and Heyes demands to know how she found out, with a look that suggests he blames the Kid. The Kid responds, “Long story, but you’ve got a big mouth when you’ve got a bullet in your head.” It’s a great line, albeit with hindsight an uncomfortably ironic one. And Heyes’s abashed expression is also very funny. I assume there was a prior moment off-screen in which he said a more gracious thank you to Rachel Carlson for all the TLC she provided, otherwise I will have to add Heyes to the list of Men Who Suck.
It’s the last of the episodes where the main actors are split up for the sake of the shooting schedule and it’s the only one where the writers make real use of the absence of one character to pack an emotional punch.
