EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWdlIVGJOv
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEjqJzMEat
(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.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWFlL33jbr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyExzImyZxW
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8r5GPWgh
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQ23Trl7B
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5AuwZFdYM
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazTV1AkUYW
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLooieQzqA
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWv6kFl1Es
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLqBjqMRcr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Ob75vcCe
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2a20xvZL9
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohFBZICvl
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5b2tZzcGb
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqTx3r6wrK
(Both men laugh.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9sQWWoINr
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuDR3Lk0sh
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX03rKtlVX
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5XvXTzTdc
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk4TNoSB3I
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y5ulOBRVS
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?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCqo0mG11M
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Av94zxJM
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkXcriMrJQ
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI8yIdqiW0
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoSdm6qLpW
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtptvXxHwcs
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS3TfelHEH
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreEtUdn8Cc
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgy41Hvws7
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkatJ0mfgd9
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5laBd2innp
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9sfSWjPVs
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1B9Kbd6yn
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174UOUxpjx
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHtxwJ2q8W
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ8WmRjINo
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvT2WT76k1
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMpBenOhw
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErDy77IhZK
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf6xDXGZCf
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiQ47as9Q
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0G73C8DZh
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIYFql8hx0
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1wSuToLMD
(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.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT9b4dDuhB
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3uRTbV4v
BUTCH
What's this?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDIhAO37ad
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5gxrVSagk
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt15UdtYPG3
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQwoWEjbd9
(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.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgcctSqlGG
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQnS1lA11
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl8IHLGHSR
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOukqKfAPUZ
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUcOztVN77
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDRPEkB6KH
(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.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nkdH6W1aN
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtULHMgTz6
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY12XIfr4wh
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbzNTxHhC5
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92RNLzv61B
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfU5XnsNjC
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!
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZpZkSp0sw
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAK44BC7b1
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZpH62Oo1q
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SW2z1Crs2
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVALX7zRxMm
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFWnwOPyRd
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGSUhy63D
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrrlx4vgkO
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhveQzJbT2
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOOxWBvwC
(The two shake hands. )
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp96oB9HzVG
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxmdTTvaqH
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hr1s1ARof
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXF8uvvnF4
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqIEWEXidW
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwMh0v4P2U
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3QxT7EVr5
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrGWIINgnx
BUTCH
How so?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29zpVRoh9f
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0BzpyoHCw
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSD6EmTmWT
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTz6I4RbLk
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSBKvp2D9
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZzYQ3TrDs
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy73DZU1mkU
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLCNuWZK1
BUTCH
They sure?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA7dWoFxhP
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoduDBKVm
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ae0TCLH8x
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTWCZMyI3q
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KH6uYCmsy
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuCbNpjC44
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLCudiiRYD
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrWIS1tzvx
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXA1cMDwE
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMxAcMtGm9
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqGDtWEnf3
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoj6y9QAtQ
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbzEgDU79K
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp193q1AdVz
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTvhz1luHt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWA9lGqQ2g
BUTCH
And the other favor?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2VgUpY0o0
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzJw75V9eu
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTNg8kjeCa
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOMeAq1HQR
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtvQI008GX
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVTwqthBf
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbYQVPTlJu
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjhav9KEa8
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXipBe21i1Y
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyEJWbAXaB
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzK2NQiaMI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1jJxqVgzw
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJTAVV3Pkd
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYroFYgyaw
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiFcRTLF3m
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbb2Gnnmtf
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyOTUHnmvN
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seUIQFKT6
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtKm6rikHh
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEinPXdNyy
(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.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPygCpqzsI
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymVX2B89pV
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvufABWvt
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yHeDEClgI
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQGMHMwsbT
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFKQt69qR
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKs9QVU0EC
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv05xEViyNc
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv5oCJ7St0
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKAj6NQT1f
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8wL3vVfw7
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod0k9My244
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8toRiE4IHH
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO71hstdQ8
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.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDg2nqT98u
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KPNBmGErb
(Both men laugh.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3O6GoLk1m
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmQtzn8PMh
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kVqU1L1h2
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KwI76b52c
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXjRx5jyy
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUk0zzyAnC
(Butch whistles loudly.)
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3KWLux1Os
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ99Wrd9bG7
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKg3mCZAmL
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIFxeG7QcJ
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgwFIteq3U
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoxxORkXGC
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspYQV9JY0t
844Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSkEe8OXbH
(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.)
