964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tI5Q9vjA7
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDmqxcSA1j
(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPmFi4Ufde
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnt5tmNlL5
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKo0pSnwIV
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2e7ajwxKp
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87nRXyNz9I
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6K8dcEFwM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwnA3inn9f
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP5OoOszoP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56OkhU9wNn
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTsZv1J5Yr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfqLvUg9y
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNKEFrCsWG
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJKx8Ewfzm
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDALGyEQjV6
(Both men laugh.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf7T8hcBmq
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIxtHearRc
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca5vHffTcK
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL6HEKgbue
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiiwTIuuXQ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvU738fLSQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWVcBlocxg
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklAhazb2bg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1aQiWGkGf
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WlnxOXiT
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveX2bvaszC
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI1u8thSj3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrwfohoMW0
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsG7hI4RX9
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqg8Hgns5B
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwXaccJQGt
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSmm0LHLbM
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj65dY5WWX
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6E2KehfoV
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dFoiOAagF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVseNZ2vhgQ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5A9secqX4
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy0qBfKvHF
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gURfl3f4C
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOTQI4a6sE
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLsfMXbeA4
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWDCDj03JG
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OD4UmIVT0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObgVnQcRxH
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqi6QCtxAo
(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldAnD9lFHd
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIHmXEDR7Q
BUTCH
What's this?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPthTxnX2yS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5AUPV4O3s
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQdHrkZYLP
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoSoTaWqrD
(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTb70eor7Q
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2qnQfu10M
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRzBmTP49E
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKCilPUvkd
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WnD5Ijx7L
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcOr1Ck3d6
(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZxir26EOB
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIhUeYgLeF
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjNRArjljV
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWfu5xiOup
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9nvNWL3xJ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziNwoNSmXS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR0syZVPfZ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo1BQakqpK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrvWpfYXIU
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMcNnIi9i7
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwrm5qPKqj
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuS3fpFluh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWdHfszIZe
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL745gUJmCE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnDMARwJTs
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB5jon35ge
(The two shake hands. )
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn2YSEoSbv
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQWj7AO5U2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsItPHgePuL
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qDCE8Fds
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ7DVr21NX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV31CIpeU4Z
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzHx7TlcQS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGIvne1Tjw
BUTCH
How so?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm2o482zJ8
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkKzlAp8n7
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDlc9UorCX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGebBpvYnIV
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObkguDjZZt
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYUVd9rvz
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQC3bi0Xz
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YWSSszAQd
BUTCH
They sure?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcBNLjdv4I
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i2Ciz2sc5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw2JT0eJDf
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHNN25WAs
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRk0ruP7AL
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8IhxbSuk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1w9qEbECz
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZZxf7Q812
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZbNkpL4lO
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YhzloTyZp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ5tQmBQjt
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbtF2M6JZ1
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJQB0h6RNJ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa1pE2tNug
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg58XjJHlP
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEkPCoqW0J
BUTCH
And the other favor?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLOadfdhaX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi14vaCMX8x
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyACdMdpMy
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi9SYSLLEY
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk0DxJQIWt
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxIk2uPzpk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJr2C4Ixjh
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjOoOtd35s
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8LFhWSP3j
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixT2cSMWE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZiLtCWkIb
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pxfsSTxsn
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWR76HL5J4
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhIljYyIBq
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWsjELKEQE
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEfa4TpQKI
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd5jUCL8vn
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7wg7Gunp7
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrHxKauCka
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsEAN62U34
(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO52dBcNmyy
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDpqBmb1Db
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lfx6y3HQS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe89FsetsS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUoKX5WGV
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjViYAGyvE6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSexqUVog
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHDgOce88A
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBNEwCDjKX
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1bplh0OEa
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2VqJevrCu
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlqcleapsB
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yp1SSUO8T
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgOVDEfhwp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbbdNDsCUs
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3HXNFjXWn
(Both men laugh.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoYkJK9Mar
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9FK3G62fp
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k9cFjRH3h
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSDdKJTn3c
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylIT3iRlcq
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75sxiMz5yt
(Butch whistles loudly.)
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgSXpb5wiS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5nZxsE7e1
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL37CNfBZz
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP7L0X6MS9
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXjcgc6kKS
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbf78BRlsA
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3pRFM80lD
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwEpuAv4VB
(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.)
