EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi3nKbKOZr
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LBHnswXLn
(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.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTJL1RkMTa
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRahmmOaHgL
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lCf8lactl
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtKk0VCdDO
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4oM8mpwh6
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8h0r0W5K1
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIDKOdDVeb
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFvV7sGsXy
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvRSMlnXj1
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWU3gTY0Y3
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGmaR9mizU
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat2VOQO19h
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtb8H3qRZS
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1cR3fPKgD
(Both men laugh.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk3JZqezEs
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ijKAeFi4r
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVoCXugthe
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qIsIotnbl
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcrxVCPmUF
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0HSQJHZq0
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?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQU10sVEOO
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucm9iWt5gQ
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpLCfgW7Q3
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxazrTVyYXj
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjFJ5USe7H
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAwNwdurod
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEEmmD44If
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtiHAid81z
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9p8IAemdg
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Ryxtl5N2
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL8le6UF0m
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkJBhuvOMG
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRn4aBmnFA
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcnopbq3f4
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBruNveO9RD
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFHlyIH3Nl
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdLzC4UMzl
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIEhrYIJQ
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxSPvsSNy2
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oXZPDztVo
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTprR4Azcpy
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5NU1BLcd7
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DedXd2G2l
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPKIA8YMQ2
(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.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINlLnECSPS
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLaVLEijm
BUTCH
What's this?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOakh2AFk0f
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvmd4vdK1L
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKA1FfDuj5
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF0Ecf4FnW
(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.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQYI3wdMmF
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG13BGe2e4
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jQq5Lime4
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiCKiVEXaY
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbktJ6WYnIw
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLhYlTxoW1
(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.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oi9vg26xc
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5woTP4rI
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KI98diu3
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0m1j97VP4
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yu3WOmpUn
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cSYaEaaJL
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!
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbZsQ1AyEA
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYUVu1kdbW
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMaKw9f9TN
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrXY9TlrwS
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jvVYFpjBr
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2ir2rXNL
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bWCG51Cjq
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipd7hbPKAe
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKseAFt8NQ
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArKCSaqrQj
(The two shake hands. )
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifeo0YnnJ0
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ozbg0Lez
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWduNaNT0
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DZAGRc8CR
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhZLR7odN0
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepfJ9ZyaPz
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6wbIUeRFe
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBljKAuHuQQ
BUTCH
How so?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmPNjYG1aG
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGakFmAVur
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ6lz7B4lZ
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKTRIWASb3
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0529teBhf
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaScEBJ58lg
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2LypM6YxI
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42GvQI4Kpi
BUTCH
They sure?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7gVSEHg64
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1et7SVEzTb
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMG8peOWct
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz04QdpwX6
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgkYie9bry
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmWKeG8y4V
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhnyTZGOsQ
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRXvrDPbf
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQawuZCQRqs
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLs0mrwyDI
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7UjIac5x0
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav2hM4hj5P
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtYbqMXlQv
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zjUA5QXMk
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y2GBePNDq
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2FHnW34xY
BUTCH
And the other favor?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9lQHdyJat
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs85KrklSm
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4itOipKjCQ
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb6YcndMk2
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOzsqXJWYi
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X7S06G5iv
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU6UR2NXEg
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGP49BmT2O
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQglmEW7D
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOyZ5E8SZv
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k0CJBsLp0
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJChvHS05qo
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9KnNaQDXj
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0e9rmNimo
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzXWuck7c1
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKoUA24h52
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOUXLiFKov
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TyWfotABv
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpatubOeBKd
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBSoTl640g
(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.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva7NNUHy6b
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfOD8ULGBl
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyJd86lXR8
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZoN7oPk66
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJb5mrtDP0
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULRYnZihrr
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8d3aw8X2V
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxbYYVcCOL
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXYdahVqbs
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRzFIgB9hA
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAF0J1OlLT
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnnVQT2Ua
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfEmqRT0si
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOO2N512B5
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.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURuf06QdfX
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4jjzMQPGx
(Both men laugh.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnvlDxI6A
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10xVMZANkY
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VBYsPz32B
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvV9KkS8iS
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6u8XVhq6S
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPVEGbX5nX
(Butch whistles loudly.)
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv80oXt7hbH
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTZCUdeGMN
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oWVMiZU5o
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLu9K8GOkA
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOApcHnose
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJjGSTQgbQ
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38CQiprgP
888Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qcgnOO2mQ
(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.)
