786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVGu15fryM
(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.)

786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhusU6VE39
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHBaMQg2BZ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyOdm6dMtQ
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSh12CizBt
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJwRxtiFbT
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn54m7Rs4H0
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HfX9q75am
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXLeSnH1ko
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztRN6dECri
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fEgJdyF3R
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYz62e7TcN
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1CJV5jMm9
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUZr062vJF
(Both men laugh.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeUCDCElZQ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9iXqlJgCs
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xfGtNHxa5
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjkIBKapCr
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn4joL8qFd
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ04wQTPZO7
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?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffde75TDf
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdBPfCKPN
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEpe3WEHzm
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnUELCugNa
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6TbAc0jRD
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wmluNcQki
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoj3YMaBf8
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBojeIctw
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDGDxpyb6U
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84SmKaSNgb
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl8dEgXqa6
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7dI9hGVGv
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCbMEFipoX
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQAcyDtMB0
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfy00OiA3C
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksjEqtaUZg
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYA503BD5Z
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7SOwmEKhH
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xd3jsWYYf
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQIo7b1Eky
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr3bZlRTGf
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKeKmFuACc
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvE2xFnaH
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuhbwlu1z2
(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.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8mvKSXqpc
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU7hj2d0Rx
BUTCH
What's this?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiok2q6GD5c
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxWJ3etYR1
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdiKQVcwtZ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN77uNTOEI
(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.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zfm6PZSSv
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqOuXv8cNl
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjnqOAGg3j
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dQao3AujA
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH53WgsDAe
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZidTDyLA4W
(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.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72UGVQqN56
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29TqpKXRA1
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXZkwhiCDj
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH5SfjC7MV
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzcOCWRYOh
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq1h1QyIqm
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!
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3FWs6ABYE
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUoZCIHFZ6
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulpj9kl1DC
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lkjgz6ti1
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYbJEkiPGQ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLewv9Opsm
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwTiJc7xfz
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrlaK13kol
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNALAnTH0h
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dPyov5tfj
(The two shake hands. )
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICbNB5qfFE
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eTWfe8Z97
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISE0npkCRT
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDk8MPYazV
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OHZwgIsAm
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYa7WPnN9z
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM6Gvn7hLR
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CnH5YAzsV
BUTCH
How so?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8BCN3j5Ow
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUx7Yzp0gK
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8hV62HDVZ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu1MP8BHxg
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5vwoxc4c
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjavuKMKcg
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyebUXjOUtQ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73iu2nEcrs
BUTCH
They sure?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ebBsm9u2
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBd8J62dKs
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiwRvof9DX
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS24bDSrPsD
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k9vU1IUH1
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNszpbbAxVm
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW8wtNtn5k
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rtCVoqEHa
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjhNMtruof
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRtOWVCPFC
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHDqWTyxtN
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG466cxSd2Y
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvUMAFKTom
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvliIQHE3LD
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfWzjUznkq
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyDmWmcsLF
BUTCH
And the other favor?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQvJz6fTpC
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsm7cMFn5o
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66r5CiUFN
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEsCL7mNUz
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrJf57B0H5
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2J99SbWCK
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0dXo6m9UJ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfeY3udDMR
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf37aOQCPO
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bLdzjxPS
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0xgTmX3iu
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7fspLwI7
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvqkfyorKc
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0tmMhjqG
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNP3bn3FY
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKNm0m8y8c
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHziRrIyd2R
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmTFSF2tRF
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkTyNZq9gO
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7KRcD9iid
(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.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0sfeeSJBV
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn6SMuN2in
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVWqXSrbr
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMao5qU6EpN
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdppOeUSzs
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzegdszvTrD
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnQw0lSQe0
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppcgsaWB34
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZg7bZCif
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlutgV6L3P9
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhgWQCymRU
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJhMszz8qW
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIioEGnYgA8
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAb992784l
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.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPlIHFEcpu
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaetbxahzYh
(Both men laugh.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqrfD9MTs
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey2va4JXHK
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ePXAQTXw
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ZESxxUWw
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt9GdeiSRB
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCetRyVPCG
(Butch whistles loudly.)
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2X8u00JR
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B4juWFBIW
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuxZD3guqr
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAJXH8nSTY
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV157oEgFRZ
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1HWDXLBBY
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOMfAW3Lzs
786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEleyVlqsK
(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.)
