(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?

(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.

What happened? Who did this?

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31m35JSySB
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhWyAsKz0a
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cTw0HHgS6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv7Yi8lYo4
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.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbc62dSFyM
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUQHoKQwtB
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7cPbfRSLY
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfK60tXa0b
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. )

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6bSLSfUbG
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.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LwcetRxuW
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkHiKbNILq
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?
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74oNYvFChM
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjdTJIYRS7
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?
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iF4fe21Rf
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIx7Rb96CG
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.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQPk5vYHN
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVkOx3S8WN
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6wymrWR79
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZOXDryS8T
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.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSlqTFIqC0
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPegrxZo0BN
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxovnFwggIS
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzj5mSRd4p
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE5kBACUA5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnybpcXnOj
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.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs149AD4PB
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuO88aAbV9
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrrosTVr2z
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM1AT43QAD
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoR8qu1W1d
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxfr7CFtMu
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.
