Masterson replies: "No sir, I'M your problem".
Hunter's Moon
An outlaw gang kills two drovers outside of Bordertown and steal their horses. The leader, Charlie
Loader, tells Bull (Colter) to go to town and kill the marshal (meaning Bat Masterson).
Marie and Willie witness the gunfight (which leaves Colter dead) ...
Marie and Willie explain that  the stranger was acting in self defense.
Clive finds the bodies of the drovers and
returns to Bordertown with the "hard riden"
horses that belonged to the gang.
"The crime occurred in Canada, it's my problem".
Marshal Craddock smoothes things over.
"Hang on Bat, much as it pains me....
So before we loose all trace of brotherly love
what say we all three go after 'em huh?"
SO.. they go trackin' the remaining ombres.
that the gang is long gone.  When in fact, he knows they are heading into an ambush.
Jack gets shot! Fortunately he says he's "done worse shavin'."
Bat comes back and flanks the ombres, killing two of them.
Masterson wants to take the prisoner with him,Clive tells him he has no authority in Canada.
Taking the reins of the prisoner's horse, Jack states.."Fact is Bat, you're in Canada now and I'm
takin' the prisoner back, see the corporal here deputized me."
Jack warns Clive that Bat Masterson will not leave
town without his prisoner. "One of us should be
here at all times".
As Jack heads off to get some grub, he turns in the doorway, "Word has it that Masterson
killed 27 ombres, keep your sidearm on the desk, not in your holster."
(Clive takes first watch)
"Thanks for the vote of confidence Jack."
Hunter's Moon continued...
Jack comes running at the sound of gunfire..
"Hold it right there mister!"
Jack recognizes the stranger and introduces
Marie and Willie to the famous lawman...
Bat Masterson.
Meanwhile....
Bat has been tracking the outlaws...and he and Clive argue over jurisdiction.
the corporal has a point...
Masterson tells Craddock he wants these men...
they killed two of his deputies.
Bat leaves Jack and Clive after a short spell...saying
Clive arrests the third man.
Seeing the mountie is in over his head, Jack butts in..."Deputize me Clive."
"Done."
(Masterson is very angry)
