905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0hYcus55
(The gates to Fort Blood are open and Banks, Mo and Butch are loading their possessions onto a wagon. The Grand Commander makes his way over to Butch.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0evYhkqGF
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm9iDYUF1c
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0BPSoXkf
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVE19vQ1E
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVkFyfSznm
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rwm7plQBd
GRAND COMMANDER
What is a man like you going to do out there? You're a soldier. You were a soldier the moment you stepped through those gates. Hell, you were a soldier even before that.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFJNxG20vr
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgMzDB4gD7
BUTCH
I have been a soldier for a long, long time. I just want to try not being one for a while. See how it suits me.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhv9NDq6lX
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmhWh3bgyA
GRAND COMMANDER
Would it make any difference if I told you that you would be running this joint when I'm gone? I ain't got too many years left.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPINvLVXpR
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJAi6Orr6R
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgaDQ592LQ
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTaXH5ARhB
(Both men laugh.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3aEfaw74I
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfyewkLiw7
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxdlN0YurS
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHk3tKXNbJ
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYYtQoro1v
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsieuOZUc7
GRAND COMMANDER
What the hell are you going to do in the west? Pan for gold? Become a skinner? Maybe you could be a barber?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwir5EUOkcP
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3x2U62Ftz
BUTCH
Meet a nice girl. Have a few kids. Grow old together. Sit in a rocking chair on my porch and chew tobacky and watch my grandkids raise hell.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArW5aIa7H
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyySHebXjK
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6JhuVXvEq
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS0Qgf9UwC
BUTCH
Who said anything about a farm? The Queen sent out a call for lawmen since Hendrick's Pass opened up after the quake. And I figure since I'm accustom to getting shot at being a Marshall might suit me.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzrgvZZSwV
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIRI2SXsZp
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU5Sc6Gh1S
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmeMLQzy8R
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BuSFQeIBo
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDq5nqzk2q
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUit7X8vxON
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwSiCSy79N
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld2wUD9Jos
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO1fNWlCFj
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEBiiNxAuX
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6dHfCdw0A
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCjFOkdoCA
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgli0xc4PG1
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUudZg4KOC2
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNFc1dkjTJ
BUTCH
I walked in here without shoes. I'm leaving here on a wagon with decent boots on my feet. I'm coming out ahead.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx1rcSkzfc
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtKsrc2tO
(The Grand Commander shifts uncomfortably. He reaches into a pack he is carrying and pulls out an elaborately carved wooden box. He hands it to Butch.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV61T8tEloM
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKmVLrNvNG
BUTCH
What's this?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLqOSjobhP
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMznwenwPl
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKYj9kmwT6
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eloVoyNMH
(Butch takes the box and opens it. A black and silver six shooter is inside of the crushed velvet insides. The grip of the gun is jet black with a crimson flag engraved on it. It is a beautiful gun. Butch gives the pistol a once over and looks over every nook and cranny.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1IsdaxeE
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNl2yZfYnU
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7bxAcFcBe
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDxi7zTNa
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzZ2Rp9Sw
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0RBS9WoZ
(The Grand Commander pulls his pistol, Red Fire, from its holster and holds it up next to Butch's new gun. They both look almost exactly the same.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQjFtL7JyC
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlTQ58dxZT
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4MH7l54rc
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ5GzZN8VG
GRAND COMMANDER
That it is. Had the enchantments laid on it by Ingram himself in the capital. You won't come across its like again.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkGCXbrM0i
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZHyB0c46Y
BUTCH
This is an Ingram? Dear gods! But how could you afford this? Even the lords of the high houses have a hard time scraping together enough for an Ingram!
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZUAH0ocR
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVaf1mY6qS
GRAND COMMANDER
Let's just say I called in a few favors. Ingram himself owed me one. That's the fine thing about being the Grand Commander of a fighting force like ours. After a while high ups start owing you lots and lots of favors. It's called Scarlet Rain. May it bring you luck and prosperity in your endeavors as a marshal.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSIC6Mmro
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKLRNRx4vG
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXpf2CnTTU
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqWBetsNpa
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD8X7SqPPC
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpNkYEd38l
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhHHNQmSBm
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuomQrLXVno
(The two shake hands. )
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH96yKkTQB
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTUnBlg9x3
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYQ2xHn6A
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMu8jRSBrL
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaMftOQJuj
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSWKLgGs1q
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoPy9Kj33K
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoCj7VGeGs
BUTCH
How so?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGqb5Sx8sd
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4PaaB3gqA
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuSB2bTC5n
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaEMGRApTB
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhJBTPW1L3
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vQNyZlcQu
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCIC3iB4UG
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WyQmotK63
BUTCH
They sure?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EfqZ7ydT
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4KDSC0M7G
GRAND COMMANDER
He was talking about some woman he had on the way to Jackson's. Got to drinking that night and said he couldn't live without her no more. In the morning he was missing. As was his horse and belongings. Local drunk said he seen him mount up in the wee hours and head west.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauyQ5G6Mmc
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kCc3VLOTG
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ekRVitF5
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ7uz1ejqh
GRAND COMMANDER
They had a wagon full of supplies and nobody to guard it. With Reverend Rose in the area it was too dangerous for one of them to go alone. So they hightailed it back here knowing we would send someone to find him.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkffYioCrMB
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFauHOCrjD
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVsaRlvlVK
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yYTKoFtVc
GRAND COMMANDER
If it wouldn't be too much trouble. I'm sending Raymond, Reggie and twenty men south in case he heads that direction, but my bet is he'll be headed for Hendrick's Pass like you. So it will be likely you will cross paths at some point heading west. We can't have deserters.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg4GUg6CMI
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1NzAWz9sZ
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn5r4XtQjk
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XdBnpy0MJ
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8yAx2hKAu
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Ho9Bfof8
BUTCH
And the other favor?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWl5eUX6d2
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlURb4okxXY
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX50kuqWKn
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDdXElmMy1
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rrvWwVetQ
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOuig78yVP
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYlkBK6wk
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ziw8HrUPB
BUTCH
Eddy might not have been a good soldier, but he is fine company to keep on the road. It'll make the trip a damn sight more livelier with him.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISAG2DC3p
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByefeVacA7
GRAND COMMANDER
(Smiling once again)
That it will. If you could just get him as far as Evergreen without any bullet holes in him I would be much obliged.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hEbOgn636
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxIjUWDK8Q
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi6Duis0zB
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec5PnBWAIH
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOz9ile1t4
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CevuUq2Iy
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61r5GIxPQQ
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWsmc83ycz
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup8kpr5dix
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsVTMuk1jE
(Eddy comes out of the stockade room with a long coat and shabby looking hat. He has a rifle strapped across his back. He walks to Butch and the Commander.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7VUvafrCL
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmW74FK8XA
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bZC5P7LmP
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb8QBewPL6
GRAND COMMANDER
It is. Keep your nose clean. I had to pull a lot of strings to keep you out of the dungeon at the keep. Out west you're on your own.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Mddv0uoi
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nzH14uD3q
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuQR5FgWDC
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXoTUp3OZr
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzZAljIRrW
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAEOsEefZK
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGID9POZU2
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76tODGSxqW
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahqqzydOEx
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAurVvnMqi
EDDY
Indeed it has, Butch my man. I would have written, but the jailers in the stockade have kept me all kinds of busy. I'm pretty sure one of them was sweet on me.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fg9Pk0MsV
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetEAWf8GeM
(Both men laugh.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZcwhBhQc
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyekFlKo3k
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx0nUNUt81
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpzAVGiTqg
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ks1yYPciU
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU06Uw1Rwu
(Butch whistles loudly.)
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oCV3U5GJj
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpgD2ehnsd
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlqAoUVqPq
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR3XfcTyLd
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8JPsoNTko
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwIINBQXWT
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzTzWPES7e
905Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGHeyF6hbK
(Banks and Mo say their final goodbyes to their fellow soldiers then hop on the wagon. The soldiers all wave goodbye to their friends. Except for Eddy. Eddy stands up and moons everyone as the wagon is heading out the gate. Everyone laughs. Even the Grand Commander cracks a smile before shaking his head and walking away.)
