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.)
