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. 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.

CHARLIE
What happened? Who did this?
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOracNyNOP5
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPLUKv4wsj
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpIQkNt51
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3HUi4yyoB
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfqx1ydIQD
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx0P7ruTJv
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.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rNBXNh6Op
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AzJUi6v6V
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfypAtuI5J
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pIWIAMhL
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. )
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLlBH6tjFt
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAi7Ca8C7U
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.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSclu4mtIeJ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobP5tm8XH2
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?
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu700bDc0M
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQRDg0zbt
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?
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCIcwpXUdw
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq3PNecdvE
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.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLCxoRRcnr
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TfGD9YH1Y
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug8uaJbAaZ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HO7ihG1s8
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.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnndDzxfIRp
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfe07suUGf
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLSzAKV4Qc
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoskV5K4Mx
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPKwOWxOIB
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSfEMo73R
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.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEflP2bMTvC
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQRD2dvJbD
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIIT7IbloV
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ5sbhUvFX
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL383mD6EJ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ABqDsFi5
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.
