966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgu9nH042w
(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.)

966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5VaPYbVFy
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXdKk8mqH
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gBJNtdBiR
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWuxEfg317
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOBEZem4iR
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVWcnxu5yh
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2PDRdrJ6X
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86bn6zP1sh
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNOPN5NDbG
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5NpbU9vl6
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPDRa2xUO9
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq1HUVz5GK
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpqQ8OBLvs
(Both men laugh.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5EijWL6Ta
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcbUbTeL6i
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceCsytTbUa
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg42pvCpc5N
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2VueAFL6w
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOSpHQRjFk
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?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hsxGjpY7f
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr0gyoPpq7
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8uLXv40Wq
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYp9sqqsIX
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fV3bZLwIG
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7vSBtQWlo
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT59k1GBRn
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpNRyq5YdY
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡravXX8u7fX
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnVVT1Ppdb
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N21HDmwDB
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGlqJQzAWk
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWPwKugCOF
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyArFPwzlQ
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgT6UwpdtP
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkmHGLGKUe
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFiLs73tTN
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWgx796dSK
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL8ibH6BqE
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXsjHljo15
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FepBrelgT
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GHiaJiJwR
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjEYYu1eYU
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEv03Hn7Q0
(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.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyjujXRqVD
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF1JAPQOqY
BUTCH
What's this?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyxsrs0lyc
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxitLbmQgV
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLCXjlEkQU
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qvScj10FB
(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.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlgeUWCSOX
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiVkYnNXGa
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg4mbu7dx6
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRotM8pF3N
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xhl3XUVV2
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuGVtrJ9Nv
(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.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCv6GYBwnV
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lBC3PI0yW
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoxObR2mSr
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfJiPcRyYv
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0iUyVFzkZ
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZqccBTUzx
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!
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16rG3OfqSo
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavWjO4Iqxt
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPVjG5LB3e
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQ0FfaKg5
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvpREjZFcw
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aGm9m8bpT
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KLLArAYvX
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk4g9cvhHD
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgxNpzTW6G
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VgwVdx3DP
(The two shake hands. )
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXrjokJR3F
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKcOVYTHMU
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd64BVdEgb
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtxx2bkEMe
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlQGQsMFNF
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSjMgoGXd
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJ46QlBCy
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wEUKiCAI6
BUTCH
How so?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5SZi3kn2w
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZjcJiOVY0
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2yUOZLONj
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbAW30KDW5
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA3FXiV3EF
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnbSLZRRP2
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7jQR2SViz
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZweGUf6dbe
BUTCH
They sure?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDjUk4aeQj
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLr5itutMO
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUjYuU1CBW
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44SdoWCuoY
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNN6cAod78
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jbEsUMylR
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3dlp0cYbW
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCWd5dOtJy
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgFXrvntzm
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdIhTtCVRD
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJXuL8v9yj
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3PjRwyH6u
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNXENRCNYK
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBJDe19uqD
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFZzCA1ajX
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFM2rneHVW
BUTCH
And the other favor?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPACAfwnykh
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPu0RN7s1
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLeWGxuVOc
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuWOx4LQuP
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTWHfhyzk5
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALGQunWSEN
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQ8AqO73K
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4QwbhyS5
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1FKEMan0L
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtBlXRKTk0
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK6eR9Elpv
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkwLEhcthn
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBy4sayJmX
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURZIGiafog
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKYdzcB6WW
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RU9hETmIn
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1d7P3qHom
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCWCijVLPB
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzzqMKL68
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sc7L482Xt
(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.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIXxqB9OOc
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmObIU9jalo
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRLqO6XA9F
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhcARhmbuJ
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1n7WCuDNN
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe18aF8IBf
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT1EqXm1uK
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxUw6aWQxy
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rqvYoEUmZ
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWpbwZhjEV
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tz0vNfEFi
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7jmFmpbF
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBxhWdoWQS
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfRguoBAu1
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.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttRqhs3MI1
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUBXyOWSe4
(Both men laugh.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYfAlonwkU
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjbLDK1yvm
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIifM72Vcva
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDKN52XbJf
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoPcKUuuR2
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlCpEyTiZ2
(Butch whistles loudly.)
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXeXNjpIJe
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JhFwc8AZm
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNJT1lVOz
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSfoy5OzF5
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcDHwRwNTA
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVnlYTR9jY
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG5iB4uvOl
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhKnCqkOd
(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.)
