EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
849Please respect copyright.PENANAQWc2i2yPgl
849Please respect copyright.PENANARkYJHeRwiD
(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.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANA4VqL7dsnR1
849Please respect copyright.PENANAWSmAoN3Qyc
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAoBHUkqwwm4
849Please respect copyright.PENANAvSjYVtVCka
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAcDK8eb8Nl7
849Please respect copyright.PENANAYBhQCZDyug
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAC1nuikw6Du
849Please respect copyright.PENANAAM9KVMpA0E
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA2KT91fAaRn
849Please respect copyright.PENANApGpxZ8Wxsx
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAdc3uWJeuFI
849Please respect copyright.PENANANAdf6qW91t
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAugkr0fX7J2
849Please respect copyright.PENANALoTbOUzQTD
(Both men laugh.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANAK4rr8HarrW
849Please respect copyright.PENANAKBXGRnON28
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAjVpBRjQDWq
849Please respect copyright.PENANACyy1LP6zwq
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAObmOjPdIu2
849Please respect copyright.PENANA0BNTisWifS
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?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAzFosISr64B
849Please respect copyright.PENANARuyC53qhVx
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA4WHBpnib7g
849Please respect copyright.PENANAotDZvOUoHn
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA2DIHTi4xHZ
849Please respect copyright.PENANADbsNXFdRQN
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAtejIS7jbGE
849Please respect copyright.PENANAS5vD7ShJsS
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAjiruC1XcZN
849Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ehfdGKQf
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAJnRdWFBHQE
849Please respect copyright.PENANAXbRjpwArPH
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAVkREyfTDMr
849Please respect copyright.PENANAWPNH3fO0QS
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAcC7FeWEn9A
849Please respect copyright.PENANAwPbTlxmvVE
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAo75yLKqRpS
849Please respect copyright.PENANAcCH9YV3y86
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
849Please respect copyright.PENANALL7kFbLk1P
849Please respect copyright.PENANAMN330jdVqa
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAsnebDDkAC5
849Please respect copyright.PENANAZr7I95YQgz
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAeJqheMQTo8
849Please respect copyright.PENANAro3NpUdMY4
(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.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANAZsxHhkYfEI
849Please respect copyright.PENANA1Lrg0EQm7f
BUTCH
What's this?
849Please respect copyright.PENANASaFnRquAzn
849Please respect copyright.PENANAXjYHvkXD12
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAOxZKfVtskn
849Please respect copyright.PENANAe8MhgrMJqz
(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.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANAlsNt9e4q0o
849Please respect copyright.PENANA5ehiGru7hM
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAOCYUNEx0xi
849Please respect copyright.PENANA8LB8k3q0Ky
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAOSc0xvG8jw
849Please respect copyright.PENANAVBAGZxCSXY
(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.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANAIaeeRbWtZZ
849Please respect copyright.PENANAQqG0LGSYFO
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAmpheG1ARlm
849Please respect copyright.PENANAu0X9gNrxax
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAViVIs8CUEP
849Please respect copyright.PENANAjzz3ETAQv3
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!
849Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4ORLrxtRi
849Please respect copyright.PENANAuMh5u7f1yM
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAumxuqDqF5u
849Please respect copyright.PENANALON221xRKj
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
849Please respect copyright.PENANALp5r4Oxh8U
849Please respect copyright.PENANAiXZiU6H8dv
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAQhZx5NllMX
849Please respect copyright.PENANAG0ax8ZmAxv
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
849Please respect copyright.PENANArxVxlIF3ty
849Please respect copyright.PENANACtD1ncRBvy
(The two shake hands. )
849Please respect copyright.PENANACSDc7PX9G7
849Please respect copyright.PENANAkDX6Bccl8v
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAc3PjZz14eI
849Please respect copyright.PENANABuXGkB9f1q
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAuUhhYrDDwq
849Please respect copyright.PENANA7QNClNDinh
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAFTRWh73lgM
849Please respect copyright.PENANAdG2zfG2c3Q
BUTCH
How so?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAsIIzur6Rwm
849Please respect copyright.PENANAEDIc89eAZe
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAX0h3L1qVRM
849Please respect copyright.PENANAlmWVZ4Mb00
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAcqSrZciyi7
849Please respect copyright.PENANA2FePYUYbvl
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAcix2SkXuxY
849Please respect copyright.PENANAfKG3hP9WLO
BUTCH
They sure?
849Please respect copyright.PENANA49u9oiAlIr
849Please respect copyright.PENANAdej8Iylevd
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAtO4JpTURJY
849Please respect copyright.PENANAK4cHO0St48
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAE4pOxlXNnv
849Please respect copyright.PENANAq0hquTdSqy
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAOCXKQWkJl3
849Please respect copyright.PENANAKaFEZQqIas
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAFa8DnhN3iK
849Please respect copyright.PENANAHlQU2JgITo
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAvGaGFWQ5Pa
849Please respect copyright.PENANAGGZ3sxl751
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAefVYeK0oc5
849Please respect copyright.PENANAGGt62HW6l6
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAdE5FLNhxvX
849Please respect copyright.PENANAsI466RBvdK
BUTCH
And the other favor?
849Please respect copyright.PENANABuQhJgJitZ
849Please respect copyright.PENANAa3j8YrgWNT
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAIL9HaCOxA9
849Please respect copyright.PENANAK7psbr1Bhz
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAC7yJRMZK1S
849Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vg4fpPk8w
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAEzJFhBKxIQ
849Please respect copyright.PENANALYtmun0C7D
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAroTcZ3aFX0
849Please respect copyright.PENANAUkRqSc9Zn5
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANApSf07VvCdU
849Please respect copyright.PENANALiKXozm4KW
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
849Please respect copyright.PENANAzcCkazWJH1
849Please respect copyright.PENANA0puicCRPOf
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
849Please respect copyright.PENANASc8hGkQZWc
849Please respect copyright.PENANA8XxW7vM86r
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAlti0Iq5IPo
849Please respect copyright.PENANA3BuroriWiY
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAiE2zryJ0ez
849Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ5sIR8Qqr
(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.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANA5wZ3mn1GTd
849Please respect copyright.PENANAWS0H9RHL5T
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA6N4hhKAEkr
849Please respect copyright.PENANA3oq0tXQkMn
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAV3pJdRolJr
849Please respect copyright.PENANA2sTSpT4baO
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
849Please respect copyright.PENANASrbl9qS7bW
849Please respect copyright.PENANAfqezz7msCV
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA3xe4AJKEHC
849Please respect copyright.PENANAisGs2C1CR7
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
849Please respect copyright.PENANA6YC5o3Yrbw
849Please respect copyright.PENANAZnZYd85xSF
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA5QTZP8KabD
849Please respect copyright.PENANANLi52gj5It
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.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA8BPrNWx8zt
849Please respect copyright.PENANARXWMvWDr0w
(Both men laugh.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANAYu84SdktNF
849Please respect copyright.PENANAodQThHLxvj
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
849Please respect copyright.PENANA1F0hzPNTtb
849Please respect copyright.PENANAKp8QlnHWGE
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAYRl2EW6Li9
849Please respect copyright.PENANAxKENmA0a5g
(Butch whistles loudly.)
849Please respect copyright.PENANAYXE8E9B6kO
849Please respect copyright.PENANAMV6yaJ5pfD
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
849Please respect copyright.PENANAgwVOSHAr0L
849Please respect copyright.PENANAz6a0xSmu4C
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
849Please respect copyright.PENANArGRZm3BTUT
849Please respect copyright.PENANAuBmtbyk3ih
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
849Please respect copyright.PENANAowxEP6jrUH
849Please respect copyright.PENANAShY6TNmtar
(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.)
