907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7MUVnoUQb
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ76k6EGh8
(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.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6jafS9xrF
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4mdZfDu09
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE65yukf0A
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWvB2OZ1Rk
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ0x9Bi9bf
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpvCWNDp9h
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaegppEFOo
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ULx6oto0
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIvgn1WN5S
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNtchDwNz7
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhGzcpjZ5u
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0imaXtJFv
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yh6eKICeL
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSay2AiWZ0
(Both men laugh.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1NMq5JrxL
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf09LQQyAH
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijYPVZfqLd
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygeSkQrjnW
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrF8BGfoL
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMApGMRLp9Y
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?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeLqCM7UqW
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2cBBtFdL
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqafjs1H5V
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2pvKWThMn
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7w7c9YqXX
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlfs7PvfSE
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46AptPJ2b6
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHubeZLkLQ
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6y6RUAhBf
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2Tb5ceS8
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwM5bf9y2j
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcgNQEGa1A
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtbRFG032E
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfUa2guz9
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXxylXMgkC
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwl9YpdQEN
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun6FagWOve
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCW2MN0CS4
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaNPYodNz
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOk8kyTqhA
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMYgjxJQ2I
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQqTTlTbb
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUlnU7Utv7
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwrY3dSFZG
(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.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEWQ2hCmPH
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXMJtu0et0
BUTCH
What's this?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzACZSv3NdR
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42YfKmU4JH
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4arI7G20nx
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pUTpQQkq0
(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.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDzaHvlEf0
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9bdeztmg2
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl8O0K2vIc
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehuX44Mnj5
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Q3h7flDC
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIhOKZxPea
(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.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q5XypAJmS
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUblkgGocaQ
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrmGsjenGI
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FTHBlZc7Q
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH2wUxqsiH
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nH4PnIUbo
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!
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBWb9pFyxW
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnNRoCf1n
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXpDMPO6wT
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTJvS3teUz
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDIcThLJpE
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBOdiPFJGu
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMmHEARKcC
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U9MqBtqCm
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHoMk0jqKG
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH3ys5uzAL
(The two shake hands. )
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSKy7w1NEl
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRhBDfwlXq
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5AkYyBRL9
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA7VI5FVwQ
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQGxCb0VIv
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISAiVN6I4F
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYZdbgnjg9
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqxpujkp4n
BUTCH
How so?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYi8EvrsbZ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL6757mazk
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrSSkuur9
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQH4qBnuL
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFA1QpTUD
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWODsvIxTGe
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7K5RF0Kiv
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE9RUd20Sp
BUTCH
They sure?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuaBmNj2OZ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsY7Fnd5iz
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxWvQI8iAr
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGM6aNuc6D
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxsc0Hl54
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbg6s1vutv
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgAsxq9D5e
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUiYASvR7
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ud9fHuewG
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLXpQQimBn
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuCgwyRRji
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4LYTkIddq
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtMcCUXs7
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NwShkFhGn
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4hL0HSSAx
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG4L07gTUq
BUTCH
And the other favor?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvBM9laLEN
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TOxa41LO9
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTtxOUlmmd
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTFCj6H33i
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBlccsw7oV
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBjKSLIQV
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoe1KvsGiR
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9QYHQHUgE
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr13sUWRIxE
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHn0IVgN85
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmetVY9V0XR
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyvSle48bt
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8FVjkrKqe
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8RKGnIS2R
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotUrvWqpzE
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEVVc1487b
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2oRxYi8E8
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIyxzHtjkt
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpNFrF8P4I
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CvLBMe33Z
(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.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrO72X16vF
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFITqs0DPl
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPg1GdgiU
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ112mfKqHr6
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQwjz8xexx
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKkKnURvJx
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmhk3MzF7u
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzgFWQghOF
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf42zsN1Lnc
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDSrPxCCaJ
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpVUk0UpLg
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhUKVSom9A
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq1dW8jPfy
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MhB8iRblU
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.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDAXCslCdM
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gFvS48eh4
(Both men laugh.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63rcXjQL9g
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83thuzIS55
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30vRwEnkpl
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUlaq11pOB
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wDx2ZR6t
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTYDfxlNkM
(Butch whistles loudly.)
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgqXm9r9OE
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1sw8eMEJA
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk8WZfuskL
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6mD9pjIVG
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EWzjP8kEF
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobDYGRDsmg
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT34oVRiALQ
907Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccagwnF7MC
(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.)
