965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH86FAKP7j
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmZWd4TIu7
(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.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQhxXiDaTW
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPrxd3kIgX
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsUxmh5ZUQ
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU54J3R7mW
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD5SyT6DXM
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmxCNZdmu4
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHth8LG03eG
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxbc7bBiJh
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYiQOCo9sb
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ue6hm7OP
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAuFJ8AEtL
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISunx2NtJ9
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZlHpc7HSt
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDLh1dnSKv
(Both men laugh.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjroTsqYq96
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrzlQ49z6H
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeprSwg742A
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrfRUOKjCc
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRIuXSz2Um
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhevHLgOSfV
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?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmdHYxHEoP
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQSsoWBLye
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSocbMuDD
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde3Kgh6KDh
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuftxL4mkov
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7Indi7gw
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqFrVZkhLQ
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeyUzkWdFs
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sKEr2jnrr
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6mIm2BOHf
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3BeKqMQKZ
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm8fMIF1nO
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee50qFbUmo
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvIApGEPC6
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkbBumowal
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRXV1iIqN3
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8979PAoKSS
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofBDIQKF1E
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd38JCBmRz
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2KilDjIBx
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwfGQTYZwk
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFd4Ij72Sj
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpNmTEvsSh
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZpUzNtFFh
(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.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADeqyLV1HC
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxaTRXbrez
BUTCH
What's this?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbdvvN0AaO
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFNxN1PvCA
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck9Zt4Wiq5
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkcc3BysAf
(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.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb9h6S9AhT
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolACG2r0o4
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy5liMUxlV
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXuaADaoCk
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6p6bUoapM
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN4VUM9u2X
(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.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvjLHnXjAW
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLNNThzngN
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XvXYnqLs7
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmv2Q4jxTv
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oDrQlsxWJ
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBXSuBwThH
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!
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm39bBnJ2Nj
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodC0ecsJXv
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ2Oou1MC8
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH9ncisseT
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL6FmTM528
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU4HY11awu
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn15ZTbY1V
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIioPwdL6UL
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yRJ1vTbIt
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtczbjyewV
(The two shake hands. )
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQjEjavcgq
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcFt24wuAR
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTogRNmBFK
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmswps90wl
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrHWlDr3tc
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RIg1zuJro
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokCbX9draQ
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGIEmivtyH
BUTCH
How so?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWaPM0gbu0
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu8lB5bFhX
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvug2POSka
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDj8qJ48bU
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYmp7GFFee
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk8W2OZ7Fr
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1DkCQGpPv
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGYO5ZfuC1
BUTCH
They sure?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeuJUztIVt
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAGNIdKFXb
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiwa30H5nS
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB7izTHCrB
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HqL7JaFKk
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxByiE7CDu
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSu3MC75tD
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KNqAplf3p
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1JT8q8939
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZge2ugj53
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6dqe1cC6X
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfHengBO8j
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyEUUJhVhY
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADxIkQ5BwP
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykZhkVIs0
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrJR6Gk0Rl
BUTCH
And the other favor?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK3wUNCyOw
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYXoVLXZKT
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQuVWa51R
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDGuzGN6Xj
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8kHGd1kOo
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aUhcikPiQ
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uI0B4MDJI
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmFJ2Hyxhd
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVboCxwDXN3
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Wvc7AHLh
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAYVEKAchw
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXpe5Q52In
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIbSjc02jQ
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfZxvbQDRr
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RwXaMroSo
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXNyXfgwyu
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDryFqhdd73
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiIB9VQAkj
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw47uqiyKq
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrrcoLuc3B
(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.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66NcbYv4uz
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmK8NfmgmV
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63OUIx8lwe
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAs7Oh2AsD
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw4JVmWFpO
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iU3B3UQxs
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsD195SMf
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwac88sRJW5
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e1qSMCIwK
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlA1DGniK
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLHKVESrrD
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeljvxYZU2
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLgFGpXq2
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY8ShcUrEl
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.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU75cYHm7u
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxGeotY8Lc
(Both men laugh.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU7vkyJdWi
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbItZbmptlI
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI9eOeVJDb
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxPRONQfBm
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wCThxgTtk
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhszwQp7ZF
(Butch whistles loudly.)
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vLZ5ETjt
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBjeDpjZFi
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJuTad5Cd
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRtirJHB1p
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWKXlXynlv
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHwon9x3lh
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMN7jjiQX
965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgnGDIKroA
(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.)
