(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. 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?

742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjdiX6w1BN
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.

742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHdQcZ06PE
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb8M1DpLPH
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDDPNLioiR
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.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy3BwXhvAd
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUyOzoYdRR
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsrjLXxiHu
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJ1AAb38g
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. )
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6RcoSZscI
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsGfyjFOSh
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.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsZmrgDkQr
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOE1UfhxwE
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?
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmx9S1BWsg
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3s9QjVV6N
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?
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8VtiWMfM
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1wJJ2IRB0
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.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq9LDpICpC
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHrb7oZXFH
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWZnEp9Sv7
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb2n4jPvTZ
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.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRbm3nmtv9
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoCGb4mCjw
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwTUDa3zHI
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkiFlfJJWn
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinm7wv1neF
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyrDvrV0J4
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.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQLNJoA5vB
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1e44qsj5s
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvDT2UuJog
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4F6lfPaG2
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvXpTNa0AQ
742Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemP7qxsDSn
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.
