906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIkZVwzcv
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJtt1QKJh2
(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.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT79ZsbnbQ
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctqegC5khn
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HtdJFIsw9
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YHSlblvfe
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nsp3LIxHD
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQ9pYsXIt
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRhRBlZX5j
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkPlPr6TSu
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWI9mTNwH
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGfdvDRgKC
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuUJWWrByl
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLsRENvCfk
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKcM6q5rz2
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPdQfWgOIN
(Both men laugh.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBh1hZAGfN
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIA3wx2TeW
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTym9UAMMN
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSUX9S0fYK
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmVAHeBHLw
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ0izlkqx9
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?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5SJafvbRE
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Nq0V5bQR
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYcfIXoxL8
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3iXhmkWZq
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCUdlVBDr
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd8fHaG4TH
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JgQPsq7e0
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscStdBObmg
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLQBcnVrq2
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41r96mCLOq
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDWQfws6m
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiTUKScQY3
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGGks1aSNi
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwBGjHRdic
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQm2vQ77JU
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlO6vp6Kdq
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhguDq2ci6
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMJte3WgUQ
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhadajuXBme
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf8PuEsC52
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctCia00d6c
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGrInk56lx
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvPxrAtap
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hSYV5g9Q3
(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.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3b5RO1p4I
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfl5xrYK7j
BUTCH
What's this?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBRc1ZJkY0
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxViai3mX8
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDpiSZPfqf
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr60lgAbVok
(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.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq10jw2g1AW
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZpjqCl0zD
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UiHTAgHzR
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUAunlRhpF
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd2GHaloWA
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgBFyV1bRE
(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.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKHxs1B27y
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrtz3CeJPx
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht4FgmRgkX
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmYdAXrXse
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswZXSAOpEb
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtVPixTFYQ
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!
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSu3FV4NIR
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFutEZANGY
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ7SXbDn4z
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4nMMILPEt
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6QLholPoE
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ehWlPYtW
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegRoKmhu5l
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevHv981BlU
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5q06hccfq
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCbL2TTDoy
(The two shake hands. )
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kSJbIM2Ze
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPzWsUdqqz
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahRFUI1LuQ
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ttO8562l
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWxlj9UwNf
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PcqgZvIV6
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYAFRbEfA
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tGCH3kG1e
BUTCH
How so?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfLjeIkxhn
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1phSF2GvRW
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRotA5SbDh
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXltO7UmFo
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDCuZ6RMux
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzzOdJ9JvL
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClpOAoc2EI
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbcDi89m0B
BUTCH
They sure?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQZFgPWdEw
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLg739sQQS
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cfQZ8ogAW
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRRoDFB2Uf
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDI5MXh5yO
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8cUVaHcT3
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7QAg82QSL
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ7kQzTTty
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaKJ6ilxUu
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgoy83ZidT
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloernG5LIy
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaC9Z9Nxqb
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7v4cIZwqw
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JWMlY8f1O
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2985fAOObA
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZNuaiMutr
BUTCH
And the other favor?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzSXI5W5jg
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSSbvAzdUl
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmp32Mr9Kv
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjgsYcljWJ
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT68qBTHe0j
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnKcVCjm1i
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWznoud65fk
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMoB3pWCx1
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dkDHDtp6c
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwzP7H89bk
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPtF5hZsMQ
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRFk63nqBn
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTWnuz0C4s
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ259Me8dvhU
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKIaMN85Xx
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMDnGQvxqh
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjWsltNVH7
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm91fguclV
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuezYf8Jdf8
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGH5vDgvWI
(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.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyBHZ4sTr1
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL094T3U58Z
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbp21MuBK
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhwRa2Per9
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sw4mbMSgG
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sVgKCuTVB
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL8beaBige
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gw4LJEgwP
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDpTYIRkDY
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLChGGcELh
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcwzitaikT
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6hqqxEdrJ
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Zy3xrEX7
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ7cNvbLLJ
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.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt4oV2roGH
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6PEmc6EAS
(Both men laugh.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l92mZpnK0
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooPNfTIP0G
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiRBYNOKat
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HhoAXmghS
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG5pSXC4MN
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37hQWsOeR
(Butch whistles loudly.)
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Her6tyiL
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR8KINc6Bq
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHzCcEDhW
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvRLOYyxeS
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPsQp3DdEf
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixz3A18udc
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIeLozGSqP
906Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp30JnEZVX
(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.)
