(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.

CHARLIE
What happened? Who did this?
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmsr8Hys7
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfmU0BCS1n
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9URDUzS0X
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3cs7EqHuT
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1oauKVffG
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafM9wDzqMD
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.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDDCrJKhs0
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlwmpZvP9y
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW28ruevbba
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzP3CsjXus
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. )

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmNXcGs42i
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.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0RrjFl45X
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZpyqMsgNd
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?
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zkhZWZeBB
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHOS0GV1ZY
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?
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yzWIapelY
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1FGAQuO31
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.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGu9k5EcO7
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKKvmIpECo
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9IHm1mRK3
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVsUv2ZkSq
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.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXeAajcEth
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs1ycNoxsz
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlPyoJt3or
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ668J3MEMpP
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx0rMVWdSk
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlkERCZ4iV
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.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPjcfM9BxJ
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenNxRwauib
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXcyhdJR6D
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwfJhBLcgi
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGbJS7HRnv
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXqhGs0NtT
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.
