843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvVyxsXH0S
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1kApZC6Sk
(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.)

843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL8yTQq8th
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epx0xjrXS
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe64xBpNeNB
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIVf99fQA
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49byuWe6sI
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDwbMecTi9
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZINlmsTxc
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ9xR0E8Se
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodKra21VsY
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcR98QiI6G
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuptxcLkwMe
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnOyZsT7f3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtx9TqFh4F
(Both men laugh.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6s8qnZhxa
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUfoqNev9B
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVatxMdGHS
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdcJ7WicTl
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqoD0WXm8
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcVx4IeFD8
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?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGEI9SHJs
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk25N7aDss
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGOsKneMz
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjltlSnbUw
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMYGyxNrGs
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX3lBbvyIF
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYmmULgdAU
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1kHx0H6hE
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLpVmdCpZk
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3FcyPgbp2
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZiQGyLrOZ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChD0QEa6K3
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmMZ5ptyEg
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb0zGKUrHj
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68fTBHnQsT
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS34dFXDkEX
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iPitugFNM
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmgMZ9Y769
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGuhVgHpqZ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIO8M1V7P0
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNaNFLPVj
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCgTxxUX0H
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2IhmjgDKp
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2aTDK6hqa
(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.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa09clZFy8C
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsVnOvQMLp
BUTCH
What's this?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvJvtHbu1f
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SrAzwYZSE
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAGHbT1oU6
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvabUN8ZDMr
(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.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYbwUEYvI3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8a85wO39n
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEo3jTKCw3
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKy1Ef5UUt
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapiFDk920M
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrzJEXIDzO
(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.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcCbkl1iVG
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBska726nO
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan4ZStQWnu
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF86205x5rN
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEEiFpBtXe
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUl3WHm4ld
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!
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaKqoaqsyC
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVduZ1RPoQ
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3efsL8Of5
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYFjRuvXpm
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhVOfKmX7o
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0D9SPE8zK
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiVadaFInM
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVN9TpZAgj
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps3xU67gAQ
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoQoHRwLTS
(The two shake hands. )
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzttPMJPi5
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXgaFIcvSd
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz6II9JbFq
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50EOCvJHTV
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx00KcT0ZwC
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OSFEN0QQ0
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78vbBnSyVX
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj7wKkwflm
BUTCH
How so?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHWuer5Bwl
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgnZWdCsM1
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq91zuB16Y
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD75EgfFeV
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx4AquqwJ7
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLvPy3ZtTP
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVId2Oun55
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Z16UUMaH
BUTCH
They sure?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys0GWEFQxn
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6yLFrcpkH
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs40mduX1R
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4QvyyTe2c
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ1ZA1tyil
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7BBOVkD9o
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9KAGA2Kde
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TnOQmUCB1
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBWLM1LgmS
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0eG9WocLw
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdvkgSUx2F
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GEuSB57Z4
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv7PCZ22ss
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlOCu194bk
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29UOqQVaqp
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZb5PijpSl
BUTCH
And the other favor?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnkzuzu1Ir
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrp09K2DxL
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAdmFexPAM
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3rF0rntYw
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KCmS5mZyi
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0mZBWwFid
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP5E5Wazeu
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyEA1SIj0C
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvEFypwX6I
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrOnU0IVyp
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2GbbCF9VF
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyCmCr0TEV
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiBh5Jzuw5
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQshBYgEsS
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTS4PPo3Tx
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrw09cOP0
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja7WilryD8
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2adUumNJI
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQavEkbkxpn
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPWVBIA7TF
(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.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oj29G73T7
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3sW992Wi8
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRP4611HNx
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheLNLwDaL0
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYNlFGpp7F
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckwCxJThJy
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx9QsIKYGS
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLrPfMYFip
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglrkmrCsEq
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnbjx0uBeW
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWREcfC6IG7
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sgUlinGTr
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52zSSPrrMF
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnjnxKs5aC
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.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu55rLJbVj
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mop48paMl
(Both men laugh.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4rMrzOxOB
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNi3CMrVh5
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkcp5eGW9d
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSHiEGEQcp
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKBXbsl4kB
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZRr7Xnaod
(Butch whistles loudly.)
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCYKyrigdz
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7M3QyrKpF
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkusPvKQYq
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDUWmGHx4
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Ga6s5eJc
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnvwUHLwJV
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm30TVXgcE
843Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3CHqq1jdL
(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.)
