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.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.

(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.)
