(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?
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQLhRTkkh

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.

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRXiKOuShB
CHARLIE
What happened? Who did this?
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBQsEZaJG4
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbekEK624S
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CUgktKBte
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDXQP00owH
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WrWEUYng
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTsyhmDAET
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3S9AUzitz
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBZ9xcKfvE
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY4iz8x8gV
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RTQrUEVRj
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. )

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cCWxPSoLy
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cgfJlJujf
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlnRbbim6p
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?
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e3Rzk2a7k
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVMHUhlIPI
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?
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcyBFkMMRa
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYPotDXMwt
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UrLhDwhx5
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZMTRStHk5
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu1VBVUFJ5
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC9ncCl2Wl
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0bkcZPpzw
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp0fHVOVVM
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIYGZy2l5U
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Gajw62jU
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr9U11Ec4v
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvGeBt0NeV
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Ui1qXZHa
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktDAdehZR8
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WIxwWpS2G
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOQwW8SJO1
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTgQVoqEkr
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoe4GfZV4p
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.
