814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dujrcmdjo
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuJw6uzoPI
(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.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bqDNwyGHP
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N5vzEzt1j
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPDtFdgb7E
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNKZK7N7d
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgLrGlCNli
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMATVjEIIXY
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpUHS37VG
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2KcU3C9z
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBh4t8jZH
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRemBckpRvW
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gf3lOTr2E
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hs7oJcpRZ
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7w1RWOSMu
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UyB4mqecf
(Both men laugh.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyzEatBInx
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZjVgDQRbR
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvYSL5hfSV
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU7DsjpHOg
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IIavbjFPA
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnaeHga9ZO
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?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURaEpgK6Ql
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tClJU8MG8
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqiBGqLogJ
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqVkkzzyux
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBq12nISm7
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eUvxRkVs
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z49pXeWTX
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4dr2Dbiye
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIKuJUPdCT
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jE6lyqmOk
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr1nATLmLx
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IjtTcQ538
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w4cZpRNYD
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjNNnGL6NN
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhHrkwCs6n
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljZ5rdMK8z
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER59DQs82p
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP1ga4gos1
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsAWJTN8Ca
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8h934Flh2
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRuUGZ4S3u
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4lnOzcJ8
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8tALtUibi
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViLYqi0vqQ
(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.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHfbxBM7mM
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U4CjGIfEP
BUTCH
What's this?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlnptowfB
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXF00qQT69
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwsYkeA4vX
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQl4Exfcz1
(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.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78j2lHfDq
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NeiYW7Q6F
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ywUE1len
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5F9wPA1cD
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rH8Jfe0p
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXCM4lA469
(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.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QGfAD6yhm
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFljXIX8GMD
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6dKL0Dniu
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMcgox6fM5
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS7kHmVobb
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA1eNStpZa
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!
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KTMgbFjB
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFwrJyetn3
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPby2Av7t
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mkazIvgwX
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpqLHk8CEW
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCxexgVbMA
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChIuJR9kas
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gUViVIZGK
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtTdPhH6Xo
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMudCWrC4rr
(The two shake hands. )
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSnlDdrDFR
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yk2B9Zx9A
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUwoXIWIKv
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL3tYAJBYn
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBNhFCD8s4
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ396Oej4KTL
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcBC4HFJra
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbGVt8yUnz
BUTCH
How so?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQtYtl7VLp
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLidmzfcoW
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYOJlsy2z
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhUyLMBUlG
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe1epA4lnP
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mrklhCC8J
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBvCVqwOis
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0oudol2Q
BUTCH
They sure?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOkBJLIjk6
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLvfkSfHG7
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KvPueLP3j
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1HJXhA9vc
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKIOBtZeBE
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxt8qZl65P
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwuQO09nGc
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqD0SsfAiy
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPIMaPkPhd
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX25qy7WOC
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KZ4NhDUo8
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XPf3xnEv6
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYQtW0NTZy
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFHBCPm8uA
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRO1hgV6yI
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEczeiWyVll
BUTCH
And the other favor?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSBe62Xe9
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlJgAoNNCi
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdEF0CQgra
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZtO3tyWgp
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAiUzRJbHh
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzJ4b8XpTw
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3QuS8MrIH
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pmRyspvPj
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFsmzqarOm
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSzRzEhRSc
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMeT8ZBJvb
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z7pBjLHL0
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k6y0qoPFK
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSxm8s5AFu
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaub5DI8Euh
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOwD9tCz6
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MaN73dcw6
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB9lXjU7Pr
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXntLr9isy
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbaXNaD8dj
(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.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx3ZjhosXR
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IGMQGoEgk
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsso5FR9dlD
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pao6bGMGt
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVheronRLi7
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IvU4Q76Ic
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2tsqZ151f
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQMmMb8N7e
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJepII1iEt
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv5IestjlC
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD7cwOcGIq
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFGWX75Ny
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5x4nfWZ1o
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b6mK2RhQz
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.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXAUExBBa
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfE0zztU7W
(Both men laugh.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNqImtZFP
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOY8CZIlVR
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQj6sBBRH
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaprMUp5kxG
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTqFw9X7WB
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSoGhBxdna
(Butch whistles loudly.)
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXIXnTmu7t
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2rGmaHVSn
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvfuBmy6Nb
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgAu35plBg
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhS8irCtjl
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpNKMWDsDg
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPItLAIyXls
814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4arMyuWrl6
(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.)
