935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNUXDPvGwH
(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.)

935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBH8cAKUT2
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP44FE3V9m
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq6cao6SxP
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpPHjkUzp1
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeMEXObmzb
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7qp4p1sAA
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpkGEyN3Yk
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmBQJEOOtI
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGuZpH4QSz
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5rjiugRyT
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTzlfxs67J
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.

935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJjYmmQxfn
(Both men laugh.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQrbQTndr1
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2arvPcoUpn
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEo4R9xjyV
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CKsHEdjPm
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs8qz6rLBX
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIVm0r1w0I
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?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1oQhx0uyM
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6KuwzNxO
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3RtQVESJO
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKOQnvSgJE
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsV7SelCgm
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA5pjWwoBh
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDiiTJr7Ul
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeAIw9lFHj
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIZHI1iifs
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoizE43w0gv
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJItI2432hk
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxdBtt2zkg
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtQCM9E0CO
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgAByyyY8P
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmslGkg2PpL
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35nnVene68
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuPMXSYmzd
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8TYFfauPO
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKa87r1X71
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5UafMri0j
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDe6FCwMt0
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS21PamH01t
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZgehRXIk
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdB2QMHYKi
(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.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxp9Zb2N65
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx9FWijhYY
BUTCH
What's this?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV95E727bH
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiDkcVu3B2
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21VEaxyMbB
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRtA4UhrwW
(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.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhbz0KMCfx
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMHaAlwvs
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAfA9C1kyd
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBbgKIerqP
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8hNxZzAti
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78zYn35RaJ
(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.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhx5P8NP4Y
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2m6Dp58NZ
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pTfJuBUYi
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV08Aq5WZXA
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1f6TURhYi
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY4jglF35j
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!
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyQviYIHeE
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna9ZqDsV6u
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2cXoFcwvL
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIi8q3ED5S
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtoUOYrK1Y
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aus2NX1qW
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPdG5xm8j
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY8vgqOd4q
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWw2J0yCSx
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZhadT2tEY
(The two shake hands. )
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEz5btRXym
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkdETkh43K
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPsJ2tcjB
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXIzFzrSB2
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHLjCAyrkz
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ168QsuDWiG
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb98Lpy0TH
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fFMoKaK0A
BUTCH
How so?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdd5Xbqjfh
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIYec8di6q
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFgEQ9SxL2
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMHP0SxvwL
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU82i37PkZU
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstyaaeKLuh
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL4RLVbiP5
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXipZFeEGF
BUTCH
They sure?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ9bRLZcTo
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipX5u5wDIw
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkeVn2bIMZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJbeyNTWEO
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm8WsosIh4
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWxG27OF6A
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdUtgQTtPZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzl8215Ah3
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUJ1VuDsiS
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lV5586Mu4
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rWhkPTfjI
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvuEbXhvgm
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXtMT0yPeR
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEsR6JJrFr
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiU9wQewq0
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCUrdOaMU3
BUTCH
And the other favor?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6SsFkTINS
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ86QX3OLCD
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBoPi8pgZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr3qRzlkXc
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSvc33USrQ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHniycJn4Y
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5UVsggJr4
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ7Cjm1hSe
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9NpCxSYc
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQrLEqwoyu
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqthaQfm64
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DSZzi9QoA
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTeSh3dfVD
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSYDa2SE2T
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJeP5y0aJQ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmBKYB17Tl
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYELEgLiR9F
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSiCCHskkU
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU4tZq1m96
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqPfQ44ZO
(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.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgUrwbJ8yZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlfPR5nU9i
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByPqakaSUa
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcHJY4ZoAS
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIEd4kPjlZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiDj8rNFjx
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAAQ2BJIaZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGek4qaeS
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpZnrA9bFX
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40iLJDQRdl
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd739J3Ra1
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawVQRZtQ7K
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ge1pC3NEq
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTztBtVynK
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.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk42WXa50T6
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdroop29TiZ
(Both men laugh.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuxi0RMiFa
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe03Ri0621
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0xqI6YyAZ
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIryQ3sn97
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2Saw2YQo
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFuyd9ihwO
(Butch whistles loudly.)
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcRfILrv3h
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3sPxP8Zr
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJLAwqMX4
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMYreGpeyr
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQFP37yI5R
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09LSlSl0cx
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFQ7IucyW6
935Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsecriGQn3L
(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.)
