Let's say you are playing a bandit group leader character in need of manpower, in a post-apocalyptic setting (with plenty of ammo, food and water). Let's say you have captured two people. What is your theatrical scheme to try to make at least one of them to stay?

I was thinking in the lines of giving them pistols and have them have a duel. Send the wounded one home for being a weakling, and trying to convince the victor they will not be accepted back at their own people, for being so quick to turn to violence.

I need a devilish bag of mindfuckery tricks, please
