EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxSl4iug4I
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EpCLmvZ4w
(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.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaZmcbjzDa
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOTmihr05R
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IEQgBNE1D
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHAzKsdjd6
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMarfzpAKvn
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPih0MGF60p
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HPxM0FFWH
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsikSuVRBX
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUff2mzrNxO
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLX5ruKwEF
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYjjs6QLgu
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbceAh8aBvU
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRibqKLkM8e
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OLYONRMMX
(Both men laugh.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJSK9NmH9e
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JDWA7tHE1
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDobFZ5Bhmh
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3I8SIV44z
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Obp9dLPB
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0izgKRhv
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?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFf61KKXjG
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1AtVGZBoe
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMsmXbonF
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcyrg8aRPQ
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMyJ6DpyyQ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunMB3EQDJQ
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgApZmMOKu
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bnV57EXqn
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk3h89xBxR
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwvNjzwAw6
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU87j4ai8m
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBT1lr9D8S
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg9oNVFRTM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz3Zx5qLLx
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RvIG0H034
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FyWojKoTd
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzij1wUQJbz
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNMHbI8lgv
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuDlQX9XPi
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDxefyeoNa
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPwnGKEhBO
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6sTZ4CXcL
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DGJXIblUy
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5FAs1Cuo2
(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.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXDaU6ewEi
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp4FOgWPXd
BUTCH
What's this?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gRxWXjJ4y
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhkKaXK7pF
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GQYXqrEDx
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebtIgNaCBZ
(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.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCwvDG3iWm
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBsXpt7KOZ
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR5mX3tgT9
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bhtt5fW9Q
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF5HjFaKHF
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKfzXd8nPa
(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.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Gl1TfpMw
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPyXnnRvDT
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx243u6nSnY
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRexOgfzMo
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LpoSV7wEA
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1SiFY5rY
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!
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LB621RlL
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1bLCU9fx
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFL181TubD
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOF8WAb1iz
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCzHgbgTEr
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1wy2Je8Uh
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthIWXrv8k
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFBhmbb0cr
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ5RwcSxmk
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6P1eDSaNL
(The two shake hands. )
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv8zYtxVdy
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb12CiDZkv
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExItMiDBOM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOxKPhTFoq
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctmBf2raV
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm1JxttoGq
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnR7L5ADKM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTGZho5pdV
BUTCH
How so?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72MPh6SlRP
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuAFOdNiKx
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQCbVz1T7T
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPovTLjYYX
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxm5mr2WSm
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvEio0Walf
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbKFf8vRDE
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mN6O3HYM
BUTCH
They sure?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ToNFctni9
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkWzy0sWJ1
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzAd0RWc5u
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZQMucjgn7
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOnPSRtNM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCUDaxMUuW
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizIbpRMTGH
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmZnnziI6j
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgz5bxCwkC
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD3ChwNsVZ
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfJi5uwyk2
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6wTgG9bT
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7GoxoCYM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwRFgfI46l
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOugwqN4mQU
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnbzNjiBxb
BUTCH
And the other favor?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFJ8MxW2Fm
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCRzt1wtF6
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFymxgTc7S6
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c6VZGXAbf
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EDSIBS6fL
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gOHMHqB8P
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclaICJCd0L
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe88UiNeLE7
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv1LyeOtX4
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTO1wabfq
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8RxloeWuX
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsSloBX7JN
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuBA1xXn5A
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LpTne6Dao
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrWAdu36zk
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L92aEuu4E
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8cDcTDT0N
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnScVrGHaF
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV245k5GoQ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2fFGLbrWI
(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.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc39EySKmi
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5lIoUpM2
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWwpH0SDDe
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3jTLP14TX
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhvytAK5JQ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubMcBkkHon
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9PVyoBqfs
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJil3x31HR
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDPkSF3LIE
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlBesJyk81
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL89CKIl61
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuADw2w0sNs
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEDqsP5xRl
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55QilxzlSw
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.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcCWIOSgbe
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzA5VdNCcl
(Both men laugh.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZO2MPFcmc
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJ7oUwohx
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eEadeIAr2
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH62rJ7fJ4
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc33W5lvGw
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45zsBz5zpy
(Butch whistles loudly.)
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF0v1w9iSX
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCNALzxPa0
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrJvXONQxp
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yorrvFRXi
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bAzy6GhF6
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wo7lrQhlF
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE1COJIiXi
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5n11CG4kE
(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.)
