(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.

CHARLIE
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?

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

Did you know the deceased, Charlie?

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.

CHARLIE
What happened? Who did this?
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsYpQ6TsFg
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Zl90aZBr
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcjFqvbEWI
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoWsC1iLAO
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwMuqwNAGg
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXqMMWHw7V
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.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDTPOrvoYL
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2LHtO58F
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfJ5vpl4Zh
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Ch1gajGv
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. )
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolG7LMnLbb
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi1fplkfIO
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.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMvGJCpd4B
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIZSRxPqn
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?
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91WQwkddcW
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8pCXJKg8F
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?
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXyV2btyHb
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ROCVWDiy
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.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9g3Uf2fL5
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg4WZ8sRAs
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGVEUAMm7C
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HGha4zJ4f
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.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStoq5cmC8i
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Ftz5fbtV
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t302wxtkL
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pVbemDEC7
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4njv1fBlOS
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9slmMGTJxJ
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.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N4pZWRNqr
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtDz2jR91
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI3xJtLbdX
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JSEDglq6
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4msZJReBuw
852Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZkgORByN
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.
