EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC139n76MK
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVeV7Tk88r
(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.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOJ5TypR1o
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzFD1dBEu4
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL1TNI0R7M
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRX6XQjeO2
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn6aSugjXZ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4LEdVmSMZ
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYzQsBS9g
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3G0fzAADQ
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUtAT2i2g
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59R6FNih5h
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbz7LqMTYH
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPwfu4icow
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6iDgzJoC
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYQzPgfdHN
(Both men laugh.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWdwinHdau
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pDPWI0gbW
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSC1Wbxun6
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRWrcqcdnp
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLxXN57wuI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyLagAof4B
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?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlvB9SmbPS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaugk7XQTBZ
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETmlsIGt1
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVNbvYwQmR
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL3SrXfFd1
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZKrxIF9rL
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPQhaXH8I
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLCZayJt3l
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA8OPU3lvB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMJFK8vbry
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcK1JSP6Kn
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAXDroMq0b
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTdrTcJFQ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlJS5wHgxR
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89BnhIYpO5
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFfIiEPTM
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5DlBCd2hc
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfgNunPMe1
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOPWxUjmjl
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuSqXjtAZW
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeYi6SXp2L
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnUEeunSfB
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6sEi1JuLl
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGRG2b59GN
(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.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRbYpgmklB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWM0AYU43P
BUTCH
What's this?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdjHmo4PZ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHOIvdpvXV
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55I8Oy39CI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ7iTquTj2
(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.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOE3Q8hkja
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzslWmkxBsE
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf02HBylsM
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9TSgSlhHf
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYakIvcPct
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvyaC5n1mw
(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.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kcFxxnAPV
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTFvWnSH70
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFs4AC4zWb
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEfwSQHPHm
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6qjpE9ZE
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJB4dS6VNR
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!
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWeZkj3yw
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrcuztrshT
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX73Rt97YF4
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL2PfGlp9F
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ua7E4ciP
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKIYlCFOKO
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAzRufbPHp
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHrnxEp2N
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpmlweY2rw
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE53HvfqGQ
(The two shake hands. )
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgeHgN4aGu
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeR9LN57X8
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB43598C8G
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc6GyK7yEA
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKl3c4sMeB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIaVGW9YUX
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PsqUbioEq
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsUueJxoNm
BUTCH
How so?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBKndLVS5f
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClVKkhIPMK
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv3ITCT0o5
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOKYps9dI5
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuwUBxTRiN
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3uwLW4UOY
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8izaiimLH
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPXKK6F5kp
BUTCH
They sure?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrCgKtpthJ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNOgXBuWmC
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlv4NyDkSU
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Dkr5rwAP
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYSUDfzLv
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4JVKvIgb7
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3yZq1zCIZ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSiRD0Wdsq
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5UU52PdKI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLghbu4LPYz
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BOGSSbtj
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsOjg0T5J5
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwD7oms4MI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWkraJzJ6L
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLfhfnrnaY
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj2otRKVRQ
BUTCH
And the other favor?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNXkJtZDFg
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkcfYz6D1P
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8wn4A7BhB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FDmzIEedF
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt0c8rYl8J
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdpQ9gFsle
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT3VDTbPxh
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE21umlay7X
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTMZG6zECb
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5VFX0yVB
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJVEgX3T4q
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakKCwLWX7n
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1A3ceTwpc
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjw7FM1jdg
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pvvP28usZ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0slPaGACe
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoTOrKBpZJ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduGkt9DqEK
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVzjp1srjN
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9T1eYbe3t
(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.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCu8zW3N7m
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1oEvpPhG6
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYuWmXB1Fj
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHek8D1UD6
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccoYMqxEPC
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1KA4n9TX6
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqFEnbBhWX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJztvSzfa
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9e2LRm11n
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cTB6Hi8br
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJauDUfZK9
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1sQx31beL
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JyxZp7Sji
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOqDHLXhl
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.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWFt6OCN8N
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSAe3rDZQp
(Both men laugh.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeEWmGOWf7
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0JqCS2M44
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2kdNXgi1P
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVMkqQpoD1
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKVj2yuk0
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM2kBCDw5D
(Butch whistles loudly.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjNfeTjQY
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Yf6QvaM0
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWZzaw1ku9
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaA1msnmVT
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfl6PVplcX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnTQJRjGmc
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIfbfUHCD4
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBKSmyGI6F
(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.)
