Previously,

on when calls the heart...

I'm Julie Thatcher,

Elizabeth's sister.

Now, I've done my own inquiry

into this mine explosion...

-And I may need some help.

-Anything.

I found him in the forest.

You have to admit

something doesn't seem right

about this young man.

You have new orders?

I am so sorry.

I might

never see him again.

Jack didn't leave you.

He left to pursue his dream.

He wants to save lives

and round up bad guys

and keep the world safe.

It's noble work,

and I, for one,

am proud to know him.

If it's meant to be,

he'll come back to us.

If he survives

and doesn't meet anyone else.

Stop whimpering.

Missing him this much

is just plain selfish.

Constables.

Mountie.

Can I ask you

which direction

you're coming from?

Uh, west of here.

Coal valley.

We're looking

for a group of outlaws,

robbed a series of banks

and trains.

-Ah. The tolliver gang.

-Yeah.

I've heard of 'em.

Never crossed paths, though.

Where are you headed?

Cape fullerton.

I'm being reassigned,

heading to my new post.

Who knows,

may be joining you

on the tolliver pursuit

before long.

You any relation

to Thomas Thornton?

Yeah. I'm his son, Jack.

Yeah, I saw the resemblance.

I was with him

in the old days.

What direction

was the gang headed?

I'm not sure.

We got units spread out

in all directions.

For all we know,

tolliver could be dead.

Security guard

from the last bank they hit

thinks he may have

winged him.

Yeah, well, if he didn't,

tolliver's nowhere near here.

Oh! You're up.

I'm not hungry.

I'm going to clean you up

and make you presentable.

Well, I've seen my father shave,

and I've seen

people cut hair.

How hard can it be?

Okay.

Clean me up.

I'll look like

a real gentleman for you.

Everyone deserves

a fresh start.

Mm.

A new beginning

to a new future

filled with new possibilities.

How will I ever repay

your kindness?

By turning your life around.

By becoming the man

you were meant to be.

That is my intention.

With your encouragement,

I will be that man.

Don't worry.

I trust you.

It's one thing

to not meet up

at the meet spot...

Maybe the mounties

got him.

No. Not Nate.

He'd never

let 'em take him alive.

We gotta keep searchin'.

Yeah, well,

I ain't stoppin'.

He's got our money,

and people are gonna start dyin'

if I get cheated

out of my share.

Boys and girls,

today, we're going to learn

about inertia.

"Inertia" is the stubbornness

of a physical object

to change its motion.

All right.

Here I have two eggs.

One is fresh

and the other is hard-boiled.

Why do you think

one egg stopped

and the other one

is still spinning.

Magic.

Actually, Emily,

it isn't magic,

but sometimes,

science can be so wonderful

and amazing,

that it feels like magic.

The reason why one egg

is stopped

and the other one

is still spinning

is that the fresh egg

is still liquid inside,

and the liquid keeps moving

because of

"the law of inertia."

An object in motion

tends to stay in motion,

and an object at rest

usually stays at rest.

I think rip

is an object at rest.

I think he just

misses mountie Jack.

Yes, I'm sure he does.

We all miss...

People when they go away.

But that is a different subject

let's all get out

our science journals.

Dear Elizabeth,

as promised,

I am writing you.

I hope this finds you well.

The trip so far has been

very interesting and exciting.

I met some fellow mounties

earlier today

who are on the hunt for a group

of dangerous bank robbers.

I hope

to join their search soon.

How are things in coal valley?

I hope rip isn't being

too much trouble.

Good afternoon,

gentlemen.

Mrs. Stanton.

I have a delivery

for Mr. gowen.

Oh, he's out

at the mine, ma'am.

Don't know when

he'll be back.

Oh, well, I need to

drop off his portion

of last week's profits

from the cafe.

I can take that

for you, ma'am.

Well, I would like to leave it

directly on his desk,

if you don't mind.

It's our agreement,

and I would also like to

leave him some muffins

and write a little note

of gratitude.

What's taking her so long?

I'd better check on her.

You just about through there,

Mrs. Stanton?

Oh, I am now.

Thank you.

Time for breakfast.

I hope

you're finally hungry.

You're gonna make somebody

a fine wife someday.

I hope to.

Miss Thatcher?

I heard we had

a visitor in town.

I wanted to come by

and say hello.

Constable.

Mighty thoughtful of you.

Constable,

I should have

brought up

some extra breakfast.

Oh, no need.

I've already eaten.

I'm just here to see

what we can do

to help our friend

find his way back home.

Nathaniel Miller.

Nathaniel.

Well, I appreciate

the offer,

but I'll be on my way as soon as

I'm strong enough to ride.

How's that injury of yours?

Almost healed.

Gunshot wound,

I hear?

How'd that happen?

I was, uh,

trackin' a large buck

through some very thick brush.

My friend was tracking him

from a distance, too.

Must've shot at the buck

and grazed me instead.

I blacked out,

and when I came to,

this pretty lady was there,

like an angel.

Your friend

just left you there?

Don't think

he realizes I got injured.

Where's home?

About 20 miles south.

Falls creek.

A little lumber town.

My people are in logging.

Well, you let me know

if there's anything

I can do to help.

Thank you, constable.

How are you

holding up, Elizabeth?

I'm wonderful.

We both know

that's not true,

but you did

the right thing

by telling him

to follow his dream.

I know you're right.

It just feels...

I know.

I'm concerned

about that young man

your sister

found in the woods.

I'm worried, too.

She knows nothing

about him,

but she's taken

such a personal interest.

I asked

constable O'Reilly

to pay him a visit.

Is the constable worried

that he's dangerous?

Oh, I'm not

saying that.

I just want to send

a message loud and clear

that we intend

to keep our town

safe and secure.

I'm afraid

Julie sees all of life

as a romance novel,

with her cast

as the heroine.

She's young.

She'll learn.

Perfect!

Neat and tidy,

just the way I like it.

Now people will know

what we sell here.

Good afternoon, constable! How's

coal valley treating you?

I need to send a telegram.

We may have

a big problem on our hands.

Right away.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Stanton.

Oh, good afternoon,

Mr. gowen.

I wanted to come by

and thank you

for your delivery this morning.

Oh, you're welcome.

You, uh,

you brought pastries,

and I had to ask myself why.

I was just

being neighborly.

You sure

that's all it is?

I can't think of

another reason.

Perhaps you were

hoping to see me.

As I've said before,

Mr. gowen,

if you're trying to be

flirtatious with me,

it is neither welcomed,

nor appreciated.

I guess you're right.

We are

simply business partners.

But perhaps, over time,

we could become friends.

I doubt it...

But there's certainly no reason

we can't be civil.

Mr. Richardson,

how long was Mrs. Stanton alone

in my office this morning?

About five minutes, sir.

Your being "civil,"

does that include

stealing the file

from my office

that you have hidden

underneath your red tablecloth?

I know what you did.

That file is my property

and I'll be needing it back.

You murdered my son

and my husband.

You murdered

half the men in this town.

Mr. Richardson, would you please

wait for me outside?

Yes, sir.

Those papers prove nothing.

It's evidence.

Evidence of what?

Men died on your watch.

It proves you could have

done more to keep them safe.

Let me give you

a little something to gnaw on,

Mrs. Stanton.

Your husband,

who you so cavalierly accuse me

of killing,

was my right-hand man.

He was in charge

of operations in the mine,

so if corners were cut,

or safety measures

were not met,

how do you know

that he was not responsible

for that?

How do you know

that he was not responsible

for the death of your son?

For all

of the deaths?

Do you want that

out in the open?

Do you want

the whole town to know?

What happens then?

Good afternoon, Mrs. Stanton.

Morning, mounties.

Morning, constable.

You, uh, one of the units

after the tolliver gang?

Yeah.

We're out of pine Springs.

Ah. Thought so.

Never seen

so many red serge jackets

in the span of a few days.

I'd, uh, I'd be surprised

if he's still around

these parts.

I'm not so sure

about that.

Why's that?

We found his horse

24 hours ago,

roaming through a forest

west of here.

What makes you so sure

it's his?

Blood.

He was wounded

in his last robbery.

I heard.

What are you doing

all the way out here

if you found the horse

back there?

Did a thorough search

of the area,

couldn't find hide nor hair.

Figured tolliver

left his horse there

to throw us off his trail.

Where exactly was this?

Just outside

a little mining town

about a day's ride from here.

Place called

coal valley.

Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Sorry.

I didn't mean

to startle you.

I've imposed long enough.

You're going to leave?

Without me?

I mean,

without saying goodbye?

Only long enough

to get myself put together...

Get settled in a new life.

One you could be

proud to be a part of.

Oh...

Nathaniel,

you don't know how much it means

to hear you say that.

I'm sorry.

That was presumptuous.

It's all right.

It was meant to happen.

I'm tryin'

to remember

what happened to me.

It's all so confusing.

I lost a whole chunk of memory

after I got fevered

from that infection.

That cabin,

where you found me at...

How far is it?

Outside of town,

a few miles.

Could you point out

the general direction?

I left my knapsack

filled with my things.

There's a picture of my mother

in that bag.

How sweet.

Of course.

You can borrow my horse.

I'll draw you a map.

That'd be most kind.

Wait for me.

I will.

Elizabeth,

you work too much.

I'm a teacher, Julie.

I'm just grading papers

and waiting for rip

to wake up

from his fifth nap.

That dog sleeps

more than any animal

I've ever met.

Besides, I'm just...

Trying to keep busy.

[Sighs and sets cup

down on table]

I saw how

he looked at you.

Jack will be back.

I'm sure.

The bonds of love

are not easily broken.

Keep your voice down.

And love?

Who said anything

about love?

Well, did you

kiss him?

Of course not.

I've only known him

a short while,

and a kiss

is something that

comes after

a courtship and...

You don't need to know someone a

great while to share a kiss.

What's going on with you?

Whatever do you mean?

Stop those games.

What is it?

Well, if you must know...

I'm in love.

Love?

Mm-hmm!

What are you talking about?

You found a man in the woods

and now you're talking

about love?

I know how

my heart feels.

Oh, Julie!

No one's ever

given him a chance.

I won't be

another person

to just turn

my back on him.

I can't believe

what you're saying right now.

You don't even know this man!

You don't want me

to be happy?

Of course,

I want you to be happy,

but this is absurd.

Why? Because he's not rich

and educated?

No. It has nothing

to do with that.

This is about

a man's character and integrity.

You always think

I'm a foolish girl.

Do you remember that man

I had you look into for me?

Billy Hamilton?

Mm-hmm.

Well, he completely

fooled me.

Jack and I

were at odds at the time,

and I thought

this man and I

might have a future together.

Anyway...

He turned out to be a con artist

who preyed on my emotions.

He didn't care about me.

He cared about

the family fortune.

Now all I care about

is that you don't get

taken advantage of

the same way I did.

Not every man

has good intentions, Julie.

What is it?

I may not have told you

Nathaniel's entire story.

Don't do this!

We have to report him.

No, we most

certainly do not.

Well, then I do.

It's his brother's gang.

He had no choice!

He was orphaned

when he was only five,

and his brother

raised him.

And now, all he wants

is to become a better man

and to share

his life with me!

Are you even

listening to yourself?

What kind of life

would you have?

That man is a criminal!

This why I didn't

want to tell you!

You don't understand

Nathaniel the way that I do.

How can you

do this to me?

To you?

You may have put everyone

in this town in danger.

Oh! Don't be

so dramatic!

He's gone, Elizabeth.

He can't hurt anyone

if he's not here.

I have to write

constable O'Reilly a note

and then you and I

are going to go have

a talk with Abigail.

Afternoon, fellas.

What'll it be?

Whiskey. All around.

You just passing through,

or, uh, are you here

to work the mine?

The mine?

The coal mine.

It's about all we have to offer

by way of jobs in this town.

That sounds like

interesting work,

but, actually,

we're just passing through.

We're looking for

a friend who might've

come through here.

Well, I'm the mayor,

and I tend to know all of

the important news of the day.

Very few strangers

come to coal valley.

Well, it's a pleasure

to make your

acquaintance, Mr. mayor.

There was a man

involved in a hunting accident.

Shot?

I believe so.

He was mighty sick

when he was found in the forest.

This man,

where is he now?

We're hoping

he's a friend of ours.

Well, last I heard,

he was staying

over at Abigail's cafe,

uh, just across the street.

The ladies are nursing him

back to health.

Well, we're mighty grateful

for your help, Mr. mayor.

Don't mention it.

If you're hungry,

get Abigail to serve you

her beef stew.

You'll be glad

I recommended it.

Thank you kindly.

Honestly, Julie.

I still don't see what

you're getting so upset about.

The reason he was shot

is because

he was protecting someone else.

That's just

what he told you!

We're in trouble.

We don't know that.

We need

to find Patrick.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Is there something

we can help you with?

We're looking

for our friend.

We're told

you might know where he is.

If you mean Nathaniel,

he's already gone.

"Nathaniel"?

D'you hear that?

Gone where?

Julie, if you know

where he went,

you tell them

this minute.

He was shot

and it gave him

some time to think,

and he's not interested

in a life of crime anymore.

You need to

let your brother be.

Our brother?

Nate ain't got

no brother.

What?

Tie those two up

and take 'em upstairs.

No, no, no. No, no!

This one's gonna

take us to find Nate.

No! You can't take her!

She's my sister.

Take me instead.

Elizabeth!

Tear this into strips

and tie up the cook.

We'll take

both the sisters, then.

-No.

-Oh!

Do you think

Mrs. Stanton

will say anything?

Do you think she'll give

that file to the authorities?

No, not as long

as she thinks

her husband

may be responsible for it.

But that ain't true.

She doesn't

know that.

But...

I don't want

to take any chances.

Giddy up.

Whoa.

Patrick!

Are you hurt?

Just my pride.

Nate tolliver.

He was holed up

at the cafe.

I followed him

and he ambushed me.

Tied me to my horse

and spooked him.

Is Elizabeth okay?

I don't know.

Jack, we got to

get back to town.

Yeah.

Hey, Nate!

I knew you'd show up

sooner or later!

I see you brought

some friends.

Take 'em inside,

tie 'em up.

I buried the loot

somewhere out back

before I got sick.

Grab a shovel.

Let's dig it up.

Nathaniel,

I don't understand.

Julie, don't

speak to that man.

You go around kissing

any guy that says

hello to you,

and you're judging me?

This isn't happening.

This isn't happening.

Yes, Julie,

this is happening.

This is real.

It's time to grow up

and see the world

as it really is.

I'm so sorry,

Elizabeth.

I did this.

I put us

in this danger.

We're gonna

probably die here.

They have no reason

to kill us.

They'll probably just

take their money and go.

Elizabeth?

Elizabeth!

Jack! Up here!

Are you okay?

Yes, Jack.

I'm fine.

They took Elizabeth and Julie

to find that Nathaniel.

Where?

I don't know, but Jack,

these men are ruthless.

You took Julie for a ride.

Where did you go?

I'll show you.

We need to

make one stop first!

Be careful!

Oh...

Mr. gowen!

Mr. gowen?

Constables.

What can I do for you?

I want to

deputize your men

for an assignment.

The tolliver gang

has kidnapped

miss Thatcher

and her sister.

Does this have to do

with the man

that she found in the woods?

-Yes, it does.

-Well, I'm sorry--

but that's not my concern.

What do you mean?

What I mean is,

that's not company business.

Now, if the gang

were still in town

and they were threatening

company assets,

then perhaps

we'd be in agreement.

But they're gone now,

and as far as I'm concerned,

those girls

got themselves into trouble,

so, unless

there's anything else,

I'm a little busy right now.

We need help, Jack.

I think I know

where we can find some.

I like

your sister.

Mm.

She's a real lady.

But you're a, uh,

school teacher, right?

I like school

teachers, too.

Get away from her.

Or what?

I hate you.

Well, now you gone

and hurt my feelings.

The man who's

courting my sister

is a mountie,

and he will come

looking for her,

so you best leave before

he finds that you took her

because he'll--

now you're wishing me ill.

Here I thought

you really cared about me.

I'm all broken-hearted.

Nate tolliver!

You and your men come outside

with your hands up!

Jack,

there's four of them,

and they're all armed!

Shut up!

What are we gonna do now?

Stop frettin'.

There's only one mountie.

One mountie's a joke against us.

Elizabeth!

Well, I got

your woman, mountie,

so I don't think

we're gonna be taking

any orders from you.

There are a dozen mounties

in these woods...

And they got their rifles

aimed at all of you right now.

Nate...

They're everywhere.

So what?

They're mounties.

They'll never fire

as long as we have these women.

You're right, Nate.

So here's

what we're gonna do.

Easy.

I'm gonna take out my weapon

and I'm gonna drop it.

Now, you let these women go,

and my men will do the same.

Soon as I do that,

I lose all my leverage,

so, uh...

Forget it.

Tell your men

to drop their weapons

or my men

start shooting.

Put 'em down!

We got no choice.

It's a fake!

That's right.

Jack!

He has a knife!

Jack! Are you hurt?

No.

I can't believe

I was so stupid.

He played

on your innocence

and goodness.

I was a fool.

I know that now.

I'll never let myself

be that easily used again.

Thank the lord we're all okay.

And thank the lord

for sending the mounties.

Yes.

He came back

for you.

He came back

for the town.

It's his job.

He didn't

have to come back.

Well, he'll be

escorting them to prison

and then I'm sure

he'll head to his new

posting after that.

Thanks, Jack.

You know, what you and O'Reilly

did out there was very brave.

Ahh...

There's a lot of men

trying to capture this bunch.

We got lucky.

Plus, it's what

we trained for.

Well, I don't think

that tablecloth maneuver

was part of your training.

Getting the horses in red

to surround them like that

was truly inspired.

You know, you're gonna get

your pick of assignments

after this arrest.

Make your career.

Well, anyway, I'm glad

I was here to see it,

and I'm glad I get to deliver

these men to justice with you,

because this is

my last assignment.

Yeah. Got a little cabin

up in the mountains here.

I'm gonna be fishing

and hunting till my last day.

Thanks again.

Sam?

Huh?

If you could go back,

if you could do it

all over again,

would you choose this life?

Living on the road

and not settling down

and having a family?

We can't go back.

That's not part of the deal.

I guess it's the path

we've chosen, right?

You know, I was

at your father's funeral.

I remember thinking

he was a truly rich man.

He got a good woman

and a fine son

to weep over him

and remember him.

That's true wealth.

Well, he was

a great father.

I only hope

when I draw

my last breath

there's someone there

who cares enough

to feel that way

about me.

Okay. Let's go.

Will you

excuse me for a moment?

Where are you going?

Feel better?

Somewhat.

I'll catch up with you.

Abigail?

Jack.

Jack, I found a file.

Actually, I didn't find it.

I stole it from gowen's office.

For the record,

I do not

condone stealing,

but on a personal note,

I'm quite impressed.

I think it's proof

that corners were cut.

I-it's not clear

who authorized the cuts

or who implemented them.

My late husband might have

even missed something.

And you fear

he knew more about it

than you thought he did?

But the truth is the truth,

no matter how it plays out,

and everyone in this town

deserves to know

what really happened.

Mm.

I'll get in touch with

an investigator I know

in cape fullerton,

and we'll see

where this takes us.

Thank you, Jack.

You're welcome.

Jack.

When I was out there

and I thought

that you were in trouble...

When I thought

there was even a chance

that you were in danger,

and I wasn't here...

You can't be everywhere.

You saved all of us.

I want you to know

that I had nothing on my mind

but getting back to you.

Really?

I was so...

Focused on doing my job,

doing what

I was trained to do--

chasing bad guys...

Look...

I don't know

what's gonna happen next,

I don't know where

I'm gonna be tomorrow,

but I don't

want to regret

not telling you

what I was thinking...

What I was--

...what I am feeling.

I can't leave without

telling you that...

Yes?

I care.

I care

that you're safe.

I'm good.

I have to go

and escort these men to trial.

I understand.

There's forms to fill out

and paperwork...

Of course.

So...

I need to go.

I know.

I'll see you soon.

You will.

[She sighs

as his footsteps recede]

Remember

when we were little

and I was afraid of the monsters

that lived under the bed?

I remember well.

I agreed to stay up all night

and keep a lookout for them.

The only reason

I felt safe

was because I trusted you

to take care of me.

I'm your big sister.

It was my job to protect you.

I always felt safe

when you were there.

You know,

as soon as you fell asleep,

I went to sleep, too.

Really?

Yes, I guess that makes sense.

It's been a long few days.

Go to sleep now.

Thank you

for taking care of me.

I should've listened to you.

I was a fool to believe

that horrible man.

We all make mistakes.

Thank you

for being my big sister.

Thank you for being

my little sister.

Will you stay up

and watch out for monsters?

I will.

I feel as though

I've lived a year

these past few days.

I've never felt

so frightened in all my life,

but my fear

pales in comparison

to how safe I felt

in Jack's arms

when he came to my rescue.

It makes me realize

that, sometimes,

we need heroes in our lives,

and, sometimes,

for the people we love,

we actually

have to become the hero.
