763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk9ko9Z0kQ
(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.)

763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP36n3X4S3
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJCXP3kNGp
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinZOsgXAmg
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xIpQEo3mu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgxD8W7V52
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwuteDOIzM
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ69IMgoA7s
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n9BNd6zBC
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnplQ3dUtGM
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6teasuSpd
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamFqgW4oWB
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsgD9rjH9
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVla3XvRaW
(Both men laugh.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKgXyUHZS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq6jpLuQBO
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu5l79YWvf
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadbuN3wCWU
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLSlqtXxbh
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtMo7xhbgb
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?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzOSUgu3u2
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHooiUz5rtV
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjcZUENoBx
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcrw9XnvWj
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybVnAn3Gqb
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPchai17Ed
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Doq7uf32W
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1HSMD7VLl
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqiEDNaJZ4
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSn7IqWIF
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1gnfSJ243
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPYxs3Fit8
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUN5B5Uurj
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkKjmJYLlj
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3Yk8EuNz
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66OEdORFAv
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8OG6t1bu8
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0XzEjs53S
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY87574BFV
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIhL4TND4H
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4BW62KHN2
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUcb5IfJ3t
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVAndyPAxi
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJWovmoSMZ
(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.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFgZfIYSd
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNzWac8goP
BUTCH
What's this?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1QNgXo7Xg
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG1kodAQdG
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ydXNsblp
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg7EeWOnrW
(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.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsC7uX2nqB
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH98fkaFiTn
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjYk5GWc7i
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HjWz4rDET
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ3NGiwKxG
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWeX7h0y6t
(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.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHJIZ4a7E
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNBJIw78SZ
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN6ysiuIcS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOyKeUDYgE
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWnFuMfnBu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC93UKEjRx
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!
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfgMximHR
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Ks12T1KT
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMek0iaEx1
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfWNOYv4gy
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFSclWHNC0
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcO1G8kUAE
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CCQBoDuY2
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eL9TUMtJX
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyuMHQ2bvw
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbgk8mHm6J
(The two shake hands. )
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TAfCcm10s
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJMi2ikYrK
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjmdHRm2yx
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKo6I6OeGI
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfSjiu6c96
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRsNWQ2krQ
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYUleS6PmA
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK7W5BFFMx
BUTCH
How so?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87294J5fHd
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11xvkxZ0yD
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiIGT0FCry
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiCchTFiH
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT4Nn7pOAf
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9PnsJbdI
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIMmoMhCnF
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKnRyef5n1
BUTCH
They sure?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLsPp0NsSx
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vIOrKwezQ
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LYDTXQzP
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp7ZwqqMHx
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv5EKW4M9Y
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoZb99uPIS
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Xu4WmXzL
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQNDgblq4q
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRIxXzeB8i
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPfpVzVYiS
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat2KIZkOpr
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfCaWUh626
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1fLBNjVGu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXIMnZgrKI
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1rbJCdETX
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8LZuNw0qJ
BUTCH
And the other favor?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2YwJhxE9U
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDCICPnqIU
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuRDkITyrk
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0f188Rwtp
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmcmvjaedO
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjs2hEywxk
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaVeUJx9sv
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou68xt1bB6
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68RHYDni9I
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXJgNzKZBM
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yobLBO9TR
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lncZvfgua
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOTU5tju8K
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYFmKqhmb0
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvZBo4hQYT
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg6VNEvfP6
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ehA2wKtY
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLuUd0sTtJ
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyCTCIoHsg
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJharhhxebE
(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.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOyLoEMkmc
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVtyZqzPRL
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZTb2k7NvX
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIbiNaMOKf
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnagqEAhXZI
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00WVR4pZve
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F5cf8kihi
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ob9EnzzF5
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFw1rAfQY3
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N6mf0Mcja
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrxYYFWtqe
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg4kPiPhce
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu1BQqvyj9
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEa3zsso5J
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFQhd9Tumc
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkt0wB4mki
(Both men laugh.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe2otEZ80V
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg9hI4SURd
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIH7mgViYt
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2slH6EW2R
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirYl9RU3r4
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYkcSbpfnQ
(Butch whistles loudly.)
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dknrihMaq
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUOcZmAoea
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTIuh83sCB
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoQTboYtPq
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkrkjOtqNr
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHxYEdkLBS
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WoIPxgv4A
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeneW9RFw6
(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.)
