960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPc37X1L9v
(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.)

960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKPtHUVw5a
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUFAAfAo9i
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGPOniDdcD
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECtdDXaDks
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZG87zsCM
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1AgRSRLxY
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLtwlp6ent
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgUuhRWP7L
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvYhzAchjr
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2bIEKc9Sg
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M9wFCQ0y1
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.

960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTurApZGQfz
(Both men laugh.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3sFIXQnRr
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl87YuR8Ut
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckVPY2tUK4
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70DxwqmAjA
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9nZcioaW6
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0gcegSbUT
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?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvIm3Fg5xl
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzPJFXcCXb
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAXdiFLmP4
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueP8k7QmCH
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYFeTF9D6R
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLuMZOBIM
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5frkMOnV4
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuVI4mfrIR
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTMc8AIPXl
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGX8Tij8AW
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnqqcj39b3
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zL1PYUrF
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM9MxILAp0
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaekG6682jW
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzQSpew24Z
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnVM5lghPl
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhnfrjykeW
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDEnilyK98
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpOtTtWuzc
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhq5loeuS
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvqOirAvX
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LjBweQQVG
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLclHmjFyCe
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG3hjZlHxu
(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.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt68rtAc38u
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrAvI1nlBt
BUTCH
What's this?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwIgusQXBd
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvEwcPgEn4
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyrWQc1jJQ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0glFYF4lrv
(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.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbClHDpMI99
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIcdRRU66N
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6SMySCEDb
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDu4xjY32K
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTqFOSBm5
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RDyiLXwP
(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.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrnHb4qfhy
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnEY0kwlzM
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ879wedwUDI
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL72EhKK9Qv
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAs09WWVYf
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiAmsbxrgB
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!
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUM5fqt13a
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1en0tOoDpm
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eC2KIFIt
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdR3ZM1nQV
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYalMoigx
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZwNAFORbE
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bW4DcIaIs
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIuLDcGaxI
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KplUeu0ka
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEBJYbpoSo
(The two shake hands. )
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnpEpYrarv
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RNPiedoE
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqdNeJggOm
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIsCbYzwdT
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pgfzQJit0
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKNALNMAO0
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSqEgIsUq7
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb0vtGGCRy
BUTCH
How so?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocc7hJlZe
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPddzG3vSC
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRACAi79hV
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0a4QBsn3c
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8oG1JeffH
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SpFdYTGYU
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa48Mi4Lyor
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPFYkMn7w0
BUTCH
They sure?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD6BBQhMLS
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlaDE2cGly
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJknjEfB4Fs
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LzviAV5BJ
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEythFLeAtV
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivvSXnxPhD
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKnI39YPXV
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkmoPA3cQu
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW6HlxhpQ5
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqhZk36NDj
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW3lrhe4fZ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkDEC0pvZ
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU89PjChZb
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo44PnlO4Bc
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ2YV3sK9J
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwdX2dLJC8
BUTCH
And the other favor?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl0aWpYPwe
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegZvQAi3hD
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhoRBbbQLF
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPrt4obrpu
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDh9CKGcRM
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHet05mQKx
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz0ug8zrHN
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqy0Ju1jZy
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazMzPdWbvC
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTBLno0gDo
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnwra9EbOT
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaNXRBF6p7
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOnMICYfdw
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNittOUbom
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT1ak0jzsc
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XjKZaInU
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtBRcUIcJq
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW3Ct2q2LO
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2gf671KEo
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wrENAdlic
(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.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9y4qZ8L9
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51deGPBoCm
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb69ykjya6
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1EEloH0tg
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AZwcQGrdC
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ljjs4Oup
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwfphdiE2X
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopdctiF07l
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT3q9uA4j1
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCusXsB3U2f
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsFEshIHYr
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddqE8k3ove
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdPgyDYDX
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMEfhxoy0r
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.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7our84KRdI
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelEmPRTsnm
(Both men laugh.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaefmtS9ke3
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxoTHYZgQd
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTVUq9tKHe
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUwmJZ2xLe
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXOFxt0wBG
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdh8nSvqkb
(Butch whistles loudly.)
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZYB8VMCQt
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYb31wWmCw
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmjPFfnIHe
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ldOQVagV6
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvK1MqwrMr
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDWYx0iiD
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmClkTEefvZ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyNdr7qjDu
(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.)
