904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8dDbr6Xho
(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.)

904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsz2lABkhe
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4O3DG0s9G
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PTl8ZB1L0
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBccwpoJofN
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCHShX94qV
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBVvndtRML
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpguXXRsVSU
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddJIC8LTv
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7DGtdF9Ve
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ktVDyusU
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1RdZqrY7
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW7SbCbtSD
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7gLvAfHL5
(Both men laugh.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR0aH3v8u9
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGaFIvYHcN
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWZX8nJhuN
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4qMrmnveG
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASF7Pya0pZ
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8kGoyxrxC
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?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlv4JEL08K
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssj4qRGSRh
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpHUFhJCFR
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTChy7TEaBq
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HK1JEE2vE
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdneJCuiHi
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkn5zEtjPc
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEeqjO2MDV
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPEtqlvpvS
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWghx00apC
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRcyHPDFPE
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsr4bHBXyN
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycYGRPRxmt
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMWq4ffoST
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LL2vR3zvj
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTwDAsc1MX
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmboA2QHTrN
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoulqITKYA
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBiamuwwqi
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWlMTHxqln
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5m2U7Kf1
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlMQQ0hUy
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMTCnIziib
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVcNS9yXsC
(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.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbiUpckRhi
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0NR95Iqr3
BUTCH
What's this?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw66V2JgQRC
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8h7AlcLJR
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9TQMywfzA
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HnzjavaF3
(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.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9f5VpVffG
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2snVz83N
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCFsXu33KW
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1f2r6YeFG
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvunhq0DG
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WCrYQVMqh
(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.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgm1Wjhyct
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyck5Af6Ct
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVuK9K45j
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaPULZbNm7
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhjMarOmK9
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHLin8DyOk
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!
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxy1b9brPE
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JENOzeb6O
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bd7ZjvhhH
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xlRO3KLDV
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mSrQNjr4r
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYUZuD9wo
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtCSjW7pvz
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrownVlTqK
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B3o6TRArz
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGCMKisiwX
(The two shake hands. )
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhwlPo7KKA
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXCeDODviG
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8jFPTrGTA
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUwun4gu5D
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8igbNxkfti
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfZdkV8Gri
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpehUbx1zC7
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrGD1p6qw
BUTCH
How so?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi6bncmOY0
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC7ZcNqy3N
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbv63OLUi9
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZdwf5a3MS
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwNfqwbNH7
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIlluJePT7
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsMbc1C9tq
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslkgU9hCdo
BUTCH
They sure?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AYy7TTuSf
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVghBlcGPY
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Gw8mjhEO
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc1HbcUrvS
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLQCtGUQMn
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8A2EwNa53
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWozwkuwud
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHJvScCjJ5
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQzCxi6mi7
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa5IDRObqX
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLGut19Jrr
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqqA9REFI0
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7WrlxfTF1
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekTfegrCPd
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8iOUh921c
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQFJLvBb12
BUTCH
And the other favor?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3MNAJ2rj
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgMYz5Kqzo
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdCHG5anGy
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFknDA0t4l
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChPjrmF48A
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc82WsyuUFi
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kOGbnrezV
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOmJETzUCm
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWWGSLlEFa
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtQdvw9Lam
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaeIqSk2WH
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcljQB5Hzn
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI4FeS0Suj
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfOZYMDsQq
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92pZHCuUPa
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuicDi3hiQ
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAsNMvS7PU
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSuN4kPCDg
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe6pp9D3gX
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NhfeiUtcE
(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.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5UAINzF9n
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCrwAXVvDr
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWGXDuNXlZ
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHK6D2gUDT
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T1hy7KDR4
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxWubDVWta
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5xuCyE1UC
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4WlkqvrN1
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDhDB8u88w
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIJnLu83rY
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwg23l8noL
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ5SCw4Owp
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB6tglTCp4
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa56jVPRdUy
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.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCF7NFpqNu
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgz3czdFP
(Both men laugh.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXo9fp5Udh
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4H9hMdseo
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qJA0uSEzl
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gskZpcGg5
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEnB0qLG8l
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm8RI5uTTm
(Butch whistles loudly.)
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6iMb0yXZ
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZSsmquubG
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW1W7pCTjn
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ZY1Okmg4
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAznhSKyZy
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5BlEojJr3
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS4UyAP21s
904Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWch9M9xClr
(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.)
