(This gets Charlie's attention. He turns from his card game. He steps outside and asks one of the townspeople who are in a huddle.)

A prospecting team just found a whole family murdered on Lonepine Trail. It were terrible if accounts are to be believed.

A family? What kind of family? How many members? How many boys? How many girls?

UNNAMED TOWNSPERSON
A ma and pa and two children. A boy and a girl they says. Just horrible. May the Jesus take in their souls.

(Charlie jumps oh his horse and races off towards Lonepine Trail. When he arrives at the scene there are several peace officers there. The first thing Charlie sees is a broken jar with crushed peppermint sticks. He jumps off his horse and heads over to where the bodies are. When he sees the bodies of the children he falls to his knees and starts weeping.)

I've seen you at the One Hog before. It's Charlie, right?

(Nodding. Still crying.)
Charlie. Charlie Tucker.

Did you know the deceased, Charlie?

(Nods again. Voice very broken when speaking.)
It's my brother. And his wife and my niece and nephew.

I'm so sorry, Charlie.

What happened? Who did this?
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCukEpRXUv
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L0GKRhKGb
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.

892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHQIpV0R5P
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHBvIpYWdS
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pEt0lUDAr
WOOD
We have a man trying to track the horses, but the lack of light isn't helping. And so many riders have come and gone since they were found it's going to make it darn near impossible.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUm3YIqU5
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9kFOTkY6b
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tmlglWf2V
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWEkWJijhw
WOOD
We're trying, Charlie. I know this is hard news to swallow, but we are doing our best.

(Ext: GREEN TRAIL. Charlie is sitting at the murder scene. It is morning. Wood is still sitting with him. They have sat there all through the night. He gets up and starts surveying the wreckage. After rummaging for a moment he sees a toothpick lying on the ground. )
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtN2y8rlCW
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j1qupzyFH
CHARLIE
(Picking up the toothpick and smelling it. )
Mr. Bohannon, did any of your fellow peace officers have any toothpicks in their mouth last night? It's been soaked in cinnamon.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAPMvDl0ww
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaWnhWIVDo
WOOD
Highly doubtful. We rode pretty hard to get here and we were kept busy once we did arrive. Could it have been your brother's?
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DMLQ9fnhx
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW7czzqHz2
CHARLIE
No. Leon hated toothpicks. Said they were attributed to low manners in men. He was funny that way. Do they even sell these in town?
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc0EdtEaH5
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SxqToMcyr
WOOD
(Taking the toothpick from Charlie and smelling it.)
No. When any luxury like this is brought into Freedom Springs it's always a big to do for a week or so. I guess this makes a spice soaked toothpick our only lead.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgEfa549vo
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIPYiOhQzR
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEChMGRQqsW
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4LNKFj6JD
CHARLIE
I should have been here. I should have been with them. But I wanted to stay in town and play cards and see a whore. I should have been here.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dGOsZEkxt
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8JUqwPj3f
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3bTsrT0el
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXeE6LIGBE
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIAqGqCvJZ
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWamFz65wb
WOOD
Ain't no could have. We count at least six men who did this. And they were waiting. You would have been laid to rest if you had been there.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBjAl50aTl
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdinB05uub8
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqzIWTSr4u
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbsAO5v1Hz
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK1WMhRW7U
892Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjqStvIP0s
CHARLIE
I will never stop looking for the men who did this. I won't rest until they are cold and in the ground. Every last one of them.
