They was all dead!
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAm7eGO8IAta
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAz24jZW7Kmm
(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.)

Excuse me, friend. What's going on? Who died?

UNNAMED TOWNSPERSON
A prospecting team just found a whole family murdered on Lonepine Trail. It were terrible if accounts are to be believed.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANASggLcrWLR3
1151Please respect copyright.PENANArsHqVmE6bz
(The look on Charlie's face changes to one of pure terror.)
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ37JQkppe
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAwcanzx3UVv
CHARLIE
A family? What kind of family? How many members? How many boys? How many girls?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAXJkHw1yxsm
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAcbnlJ2k5JY
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.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA3EID1oCuMG

CHARLIE
No no no.

(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.)

WOOD
I've seen you at the One Hog before. It's Charlie, right?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAr4MK0a92HP
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAGxCAtb7qWB
CHARLIE
(Nodding. Still crying.)
Charlie. Charlie Tucker.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA6R80E4HD1H
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAANmhgQwPHr
WOOD
Did you know the deceased, Charlie?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAtdQr2HgHbH
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAOZzwZ4uT2X
CHARLIE
(Nods again. Voice very broken when speaking.)
It's my brother. And his wife and my niece and nephew.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAPtHSqflLol
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAllppUG1SqB
WOOD
I'm so sorry, Charlie.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANApFhXNIkZPe
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAIbaVfl3YmE
CHARLIE
What happened? Who did this?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAQtjAwSw9rv
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAAen1FsiR4o
WOOD
We don't know yet. Road agents we recon.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA3IBWOW5i78
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAI8HxVX0KZa
CHARLIE
What's being done? Who's trying to find the killers?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAzBnXf3NVEs
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAVAlMgFXWRO
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.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAERkWsdc6EO
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAYNZiTwA3Aa
CHARLIE
So nothing is being done?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAEfSmYFlnIC
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ThPUDp61
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. )
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA8oZfIkgcqD
1151Please respect copyright.PENANACGTIGYSeBl
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.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA5XcDGn6TYs
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAqv5YrCxzI4
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?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA7U5J4NGklD
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAa0DLzFI2E8
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?
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAnfTnw0UsRu
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAL79T2GVI7R
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.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA6JlwUndLsM
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAiTNsbBjeXo
CHARLIE
At least it's something.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA0ikpHajgmK
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAXeYuF5PIej
(Charlie pauses. Tears run down his cheeks.)
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAkvF1NYTds1
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAKP4PGqQDQS
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.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAiwsvcJaEMx
1151Please respect copyright.PENANADZmsreOESE
WOOD
If you had been here there just would have been another body for us to haul off, Charlie.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAbNk8UBQPLY
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAxoKhExv5Z4
CHARLIE
You don't know that. Maybe I could have...
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0yXf9ozEx
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAkFHIKL436s
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.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAWSGRmpWmA7
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAs4R5GikjRq
CHARLIE
Probably. But at least I would have been there with them in those last moments.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANARvlUB8216Y
1151Please respect copyright.PENANANMwbvmZgAV
WOOD
Best you can do now is say goodbye. And pledge to help find the men who did this.
1151Please respect copyright.PENANAjbersdeJBg
1151Please respect copyright.PENANA7yeLKNR0OF
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.
