EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
632Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZZOISosv
632Please respect copyright.PENANAOuDyhD3Rpc
(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.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1llc3KOfnr
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFffQ4l2hQA
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwCzQOsLAvA
632Please respect copyright.PENANAB6PVAQ4BQV
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAnnHTKNwzqi
632Please respect copyright.PENANARAXAJRYjDn
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANANqSULAzyzc
632Please respect copyright.PENANAa0Q7qlRduY
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANApY60OrRxjf
632Please respect copyright.PENANAHS0VDekNfq
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANASnFdmfryxp
632Please respect copyright.PENANAsfbtZKx9Zi
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAXWg4UTst1D
632Please respect copyright.PENANANYRmVMCnR1
(Both men laugh.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGD3dz4bGYd
632Please respect copyright.PENANAxUzCoNBwQc
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAK1tIalgTr0
632Please respect copyright.PENANAif4cBW7yil
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAgEcVDPhsyD
632Please respect copyright.PENANAgYEvZ4pgzS
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?
632Please respect copyright.PENANATAgV7u9xlz
632Please respect copyright.PENANAgshdaYdczI
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzTCzGLduGM
632Please respect copyright.PENANANG1xrP1jzt
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA4j0fyO49Vz
632Please respect copyright.PENANARmWDa32N03
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAV2VPVFNPRy
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFQastAesQZ
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
632Please respect copyright.PENANACuGiRG3BBA
632Please respect copyright.PENANAynFV9SBY0G
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmbargvU75C
632Please respect copyright.PENANAonX5wdfVgz
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8hOJULX1M2
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuEnX4gnjJE
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Zl1iXzqq
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfcMclp7oo2
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAIOIqnIR8o4
632Please respect copyright.PENANAIvMR7Kfaot
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPYjr1uJmlv
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2EGffcuYwx
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAvjf1v8Qja1
632Please respect copyright.PENANAp7bB89EKKg
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAYrJjTTJVKq
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7IysGFaHTz
(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.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcravO9Vpcf
632Please respect copyright.PENANAtCQJj0S90K
BUTCH
What's this?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAap4l7zdR2O
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1gBWMXJL1S
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2B3R4dn66n
632Please respect copyright.PENANA72XuD0YNWz
(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.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANABVaSQpFD1q
632Please respect copyright.PENANA9hH2r5ILST
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
632Please respect copyright.PENANA006FdlpfK8
632Please respect copyright.PENANArfjkEFxXOf
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbNSVXdT0YI
632Please respect copyright.PENANAqdFhSxkkjq
(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.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMp22WnXiJk
632Please respect copyright.PENANAb6In3PpMEl
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAEMpaSApuGi
632Please respect copyright.PENANAtvWBcYB6bH
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAozlc3QCjSm
632Please respect copyright.PENANA4NAWtGhdRZ
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!
632Please respect copyright.PENANA3It55phzes
632Please respect copyright.PENANAUSd5ST6Zjc
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAB3DCFO7QDJ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbwsPTOPOIX
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAC7qkkPLB62
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPVrERC7B9v
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAOEA8zvmvRU
632Please respect copyright.PENANANLbMJ72zGq
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0LdYfl7UAY
632Please respect copyright.PENANAtF7zl027h6
(The two shake hands. )
632Please respect copyright.PENANApoY8g8kt46
632Please respect copyright.PENANAod9av2KfDh
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ZoQS3lzv
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZWQyFaVN6T
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZeprxNGop0
632Please respect copyright.PENANAJZy3EIvJAe
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGCHlzdMNF5
632Please respect copyright.PENANACAjGcbW2gA
BUTCH
How so?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAUzPbC0W89y
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmW3K8Qsl8q
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA5F1WVHVxTV
632Please respect copyright.PENANAUtBsXPUcrv
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAeMc0S9B5ND
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFjCBdg8V7N
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
632Please respect copyright.PENANADQhsohZ7qC
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmfpHIhiX4d
BUTCH
They sure?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAr9qwQtAuKH
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbfGInpHOCI
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwqgIKiNA3Y
632Please respect copyright.PENANA6nwsXXvs3i
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAO6XSAYBMvk
632Please respect copyright.PENANAHkg67mfbKg
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAhtmSV8IvUg
632Please respect copyright.PENANAyRHIppdOxE
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
632Please respect copyright.PENANASms3bM7S0i
632Please respect copyright.PENANAol4DAo544d
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArEPKVXj51g
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8tpmZQ3DLl
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkeEqhR9BK6
632Please respect copyright.PENANAAkBMrVTBjc
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAqdofPh83V1
632Please respect copyright.PENANAn94yVame99
BUTCH
And the other favor?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAngMRCUw5Dy
632Please respect copyright.PENANAye4A0eJJud
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
632Please respect copyright.PENANADVcaqDpdnc
632Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4BS07ZmkE
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbaG9oUMYEb
632Please respect copyright.PENANALsb3OFmjEr
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
632Please respect copyright.PENANALdEnh0v8Lw
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmVfr0B11xz
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAOFmNIRhkHZ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGA0yCcG4jL
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcyukXTOFTg
632Please respect copyright.PENANAnOJk8P8oTk
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7inZcEsHyP
632Please respect copyright.PENANAxYY2sUYWVx
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArlXejD05dr
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFLNANnjAyZ
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGmpLw27yfj
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbl9pazHVDE
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA4SDLV8eWME
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaY7gMmC0B3
(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.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANAxfBXisfULz
632Please respect copyright.PENANAihsvB1ydgd
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAxfuxTtFN6V
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1HtmJz1S3R
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbPPqk98Mna
632Please respect copyright.PENANAVsLICIn1eu
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzHxAXQoZga
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuSqxJe6Uz9
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAeXKMD5COqR
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFzoBl6q7Cj
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
632Please respect copyright.PENANAI5Z5UOWGTQ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkYVhACWzgP
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAeLZlGpot3W
632Please respect copyright.PENANArhl0PzHbHz
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y6FIIvMme
632Please respect copyright.PENANAVDr5Wfq2J9
(Both men laugh.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANAy7YieCUHRp
632Please respect copyright.PENANAtlWCtq85SG
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAowt27vjB07
632Please respect copyright.PENANAjl1d5B5hHZ
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAXqUojlZ6UF
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z1LFLNUpL
(Butch whistles loudly.)
632Please respect copyright.PENANABypL0g9ux2
632Please respect copyright.PENANAq1LOXxKzFR
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkUHap3xGwq
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcX87s044fK
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
632Please respect copyright.PENANABvnX6bi2Ie
632Please respect copyright.PENANAz98JCBaTmC
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAUGtUmpSjmz
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2TrmnNzWWE
(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.)
