EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
887Please respect copyright.PENANAWRFHs7Q29C
887Please respect copyright.PENANATHhQDDwhYh
(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.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANABWSAEfPsnO
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4c6fhaW5Qu
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAw47zzh7rLy
887Please respect copyright.PENANASXjXgK9Q8C
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXYzUgcREXy
887Please respect copyright.PENANAlvGv5YUDNu
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAAxkhgj3nzN
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4iKLT6qxWm
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgc8ahfc9W8
887Please respect copyright.PENANAIJF4pNkXok
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANASNRYfJZKuG
887Please respect copyright.PENANA01XEQbxnUI
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3KO7SHLHDc
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXqLYebBmSp
(Both men laugh.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANAYPHwTJk2vt
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgAV0RI82Of
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4MuX4xB0mv
887Please respect copyright.PENANADyp5iMOHmC
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAVvDewtqrk8
887Please respect copyright.PENANANAYGaSLx06
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?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4EG4yjEiH
887Please respect copyright.PENANA6OS6YiXPUS
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3TF9ipx1h7
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXVzEDYuovo
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAjvBlSb4ciA
887Please respect copyright.PENANAjYOeJt0JTx
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8nYUV0mZBj
887Please respect copyright.PENANAjKxzTUnnDM
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAxsm78HRJN4
887Please respect copyright.PENANAcOUT9gTI1J
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAve9Q5fccen
887Please respect copyright.PENANALDP7BpJQjC
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAcgNLwEOJqK
887Please respect copyright.PENANAYzYhauiJEP
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAz48B6mP5Dw
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUsvGAhNuV3
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAln21AmiIuh
887Please respect copyright.PENANAKDq7WRGw0x
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgR0oe4FJgR
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUG2PqVMQBp
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUxQMu6gKJS
887Please respect copyright.PENANA0QzDQFrAhs
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANASbywH35n3c
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8F79jcX8UG
(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.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANAsTpWvl17WK
887Please respect copyright.PENANAEVqMGNJQ87
BUTCH
What's this?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAeT09GHm3wf
887Please respect copyright.PENANAsSlSgP1OjN
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAb3umeDH2tv
887Please respect copyright.PENANA5WHCP5mmib
(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.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANA89X9Hr6jly
887Please respect copyright.PENANAOktHMVDhKr
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
887Please respect copyright.PENANApzCyKmH7LN
887Please respect copyright.PENANA7ms1pkmWLd
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPREkc1zTII
887Please respect copyright.PENANAjFiUGgGKI7
(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.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANA2SFBkbvlLo
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfAiExHH8FF
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
887Please respect copyright.PENANADcly8nmQN5
887Please respect copyright.PENANAN9sT6Bgnt1
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAyvH23G4r81
887Please respect copyright.PENANABweQ7lptVN
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!
887Please respect copyright.PENANAVfGxbw6Fcv
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGExJrF4tn0
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAFO4PgEut94
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfbBHcpwcRX
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA89ADttTfRL
887Please respect copyright.PENANANbl30enaY6
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAwLtSCZObbi
887Please respect copyright.PENANAwhJ0NNhfcl
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuuoP7gA1Vr
887Please respect copyright.PENANAIdUBzm1vK5
(The two shake hands. )
887Please respect copyright.PENANApC7WTKXIsk
887Please respect copyright.PENANAoldWEoiH1r
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAWKa2QIU8ai
887Please respect copyright.PENANAJ10ptHP7Sn
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAvja2G9uL8w
887Please respect copyright.PENANAv2GuOiYJ83
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGFNUMwMEgv
887Please respect copyright.PENANA1DjpHh1iuh
BUTCH
How so?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAqKBkn71ZDJ
887Please respect copyright.PENANACguzz1wEEe
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuFX03pvYSz
887Please respect copyright.PENANAEMcTQtH529
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAaWCOkQ7WFs
887Please respect copyright.PENANAOdk4EKMw2X
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAxZmy9JUYcn
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGbwsxEIPhq
BUTCH
They sure?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAiIwnipqGlg
887Please respect copyright.PENANA1PWoZYvMVr
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfnwLbVO7kI
887Please respect copyright.PENANAjtjduYu1f5
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAs4bCWNvpJU
887Please respect copyright.PENANAv2wwICasbi
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANATPtU0nTWaC
887Please respect copyright.PENANA0f3tSy4bcj
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4ss6G2aulS
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3pNNL4Y5Ah
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ZAofVX9N
887Please respect copyright.PENANAD56oJZLIFT
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAeGJ6ybcH6D
887Please respect copyright.PENANAoSaLv5i41P
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA45X4qhU8bb
887Please respect copyright.PENANAsYttVOraD2
BUTCH
And the other favor?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZNDYMb6O
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgKW1r8dxZM
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAmHfpIUF1UM
887Please respect copyright.PENANAh0oZKpKWNZ
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgm00Qj99Q5
887Please respect copyright.PENANAJJF4WQwOpz
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAD9AaMBrb9H
887Please respect copyright.PENANApTAk1tK6dW
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAaOMCFZMtBx
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3uY2a9nVNs
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAKvEcGCn4Yf
887Please respect copyright.PENANA1jrL9Ahw1J
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAI73apm7EBF
887Please respect copyright.PENANAiIGbIia1zM
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAqqV3vosSxt
887Please respect copyright.PENANABpHaazVJNa
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAmH3aye7AsY
887Please respect copyright.PENANAk2Ux9g0Lhh
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAoTL8Ridauy
887Please respect copyright.PENANANWUY0G5Yuo
(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.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANA0SU1h0OTdn
887Please respect copyright.PENANApRbvHiBTEI
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGuRFw2JITb
887Please respect copyright.PENANAwz4urGd4T2
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAFhda5s9Wez
887Please respect copyright.PENANAlLaoG9BBva
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAIfZFKo6GUE
887Please respect copyright.PENANAydCpWXXejA
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXEUaiPIVy7
887Please respect copyright.PENANAVaX1aUs6c6
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
887Please respect copyright.PENANAoWLEzI4e8i
887Please respect copyright.PENANAhdgnDJonDL
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuWfo0WMfwk
887Please respect copyright.PENANA5iFKeyPby7
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dnu1ZfMNu
887Please respect copyright.PENANAVGRdPlbcGt
(Both men laugh.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANALSiSjNFJB4
887Please respect copyright.PENANA9uwivHv0WY
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3pOSvKjrsx
887Please respect copyright.PENANAlggDM1hSTg
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAFq0r4sanoA
887Please respect copyright.PENANASxYyOMijc7
(Butch whistles loudly.)
887Please respect copyright.PENANAseTPbSIXFq
887Please respect copyright.PENANAmTJ8L0RTge
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
887Please respect copyright.PENANABChbqh2MoU
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXTwMdhMu3V
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfCJ5gRHi41
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPhWsicakB1
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfnPCrqZ0u9
887Please respect copyright.PENANAdS9BOX9S9u
(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.)
