A prospecting team just found a whole family murdered on Lonepine Trail. It were terrible if accounts are to be believed.

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?

(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?
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFGKebvxJl
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zJrMsysbd
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vaT6AjPZ3
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZB4HxcMS
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3SFgQ8vci
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkaGF0ek7d
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.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiyv1Ovzvp
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2wMsyJUyO
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh9ZsMb26r
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijUTMFBWNb
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. )

740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26S7Xd6Kq6
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.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnUPLM7bn3
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qJlKhMNPD
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?
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8c8bjYj3f
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PMcpbC8QI
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?
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAqFLy6MAa
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmw1wzCwEq
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.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9fUhIlK8x
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsm4yBzhn
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ACs1wNFtA
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEx25cS5sh
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.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH1E6E9l6A
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhSa5fWPd4
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYepsoOq0cp
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbJptXQIJu
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvXiD8Y36Q
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnFyKHQGCw
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.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBd6JVKVLT
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLbg8X7iim
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcbN1wYAmf
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTXNTD4g3t
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdQWj1KT1Z
740Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf7W96tC0E
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.
