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?

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?

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

776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7bUoS2hvX
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViadsoHZtp
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpGZO39XZd
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.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD25LvjHgq9
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOaUoK5RA
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y76N7rX1Z
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfFsx44BTV
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. )

776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGqy8o5DBu
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.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylUI5Gu05P
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUHHsedvh6
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?
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL40FtTiWoW
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe4x9pDkKp
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?
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRGuF3BzTK
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUioPXurUTd
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.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Ful233ZQ
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLuEU0n1Io
CHARLIE
At least it's something.

776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhxKIOfreK
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT779T8jv91
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.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBAxfMEIL
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWQMHFQpr9
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡako1bMoy8N
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsBVuYO2M5
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTAEtUhp22
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdNyaTsWeb
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.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0iODbtO3
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM520v0YF5I
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV47CJDlS3H
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwa39QsfCw
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkGTc0B4u7
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuvZKtU3hK
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.
