(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.

A family? What kind of family? How many members? How many boys? How many girls?

804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHondE8VxC
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?
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mgBUO60Kn
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYh2rD0TT1

We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.

804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfzop4dj8L
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF43jDa2UI
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJTyF1cNnG
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.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPLTsvLYQ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VyMwetjKS
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgIERC3e6B
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheUrSNJFot
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. )

804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3825QyiOF
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.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmVprzesE
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNH7j0BMV
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?
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XHeoXEoQ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0QJ7GKrch
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?
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGkudu9AMi
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbBvuDGut
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.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUasCmJRvu
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVmdSzpZtc
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5llqsX1In
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsy8oh68L
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.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjPJx7bgm9
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZJCT0msD
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaHBgUsKiD
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2HiH8ihM9
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OTKTrcnou
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTyejmyuoU
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.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwkemQLBRW
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c3TiU4eqx
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZbY7OSsT2
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck20JecBNA
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJisGo8gYA1
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHNUOj0Ak
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.
