Second Chance
The marshal and the mountie are in a shootout with three moonshiners (the Caine brothers).
The hombres get away, but first they shoot their two indian hostages, killing one.
The lawmen take the wounded indian to Marie's. Then they return to the detachment.
"I got this interestin' letter here Clive, but I'm havin' a hard time makin' out this one word."
Clive glances at the letter;"It's incompetent Jack."
"Huh, that's sorta like useless ain't it?"
Clive grins; "Yes."
"Yup, well, that makes sense, see this here letter's fer you, it's from yer boss."
Clive grabs the letter from him; "You know Jack my job would be a whole lot easier if the U.S.
government would just do their job and crack down on these moonshiners!"
Marie enters the office and tells them the indian is awake.
As they walk out the door, the stage arrives. Clives runs towards the passengers yelling, "Anna!"
(In the episode "Hand to Hand" Clive's old friend from the academy, Matt, is murdered. Anna is his widow.....
Clive was in love with her).
Marie is jealous. Jack tells her; "I best go talk to that indian,
Clive looks a might preoccupied don't he?"
Anna is passing through Bordertown, on her way to Vancouver where she has gotten a teaching
job. She has come to visit Matt's grave.
Jack says the trail has gone cold, but they'll keep lookin', Clive wants to give up and return to town.
"Ya, us Americans are really fallin' down on
Jack keeps looking....,Clive returns to town.
Marie talks with Anna at the cemetery. Anna explains about the difficult decision she had to make
when choosing to marry Matt instead of Clive. (Marie understands her dilema).
When Clive returns, he watches Anna place flowers on
Matt's grave (which is outside of town).
Marie and Jack are having dinner.
At that moment Clive and Anna enter the room,
behind Jack, Marie kicks him under the table
Couteau enters and walks directly towards Clive... staring at Anna he says "I need to talk to you
Clive tells him to go away. Jack says if it has to do with the law maybe he should talk to a lawman
who still takes his job seriously.....Soon  Marie finds herself dinning alone.
Second Chance continued...
"Now listen here Clive...."
Later, the lawmen are trying to track the Caine brothers.
the job ain't we?"
Jack chuckles, "I never figured a woman would take
Clive's mind off 'a work...what's her story anyhow?"
to signal him to be quiet.
Jack offers them seats at his table, but they decline the invitation.
Jack and Marie watch....
