EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAcyxx75EzZr
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAO1DEgYaYiH
(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.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAm2MhU7lDit
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAIF2WpPI5zB
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAdGDVkId8Rf
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAwDmwDgyw2C
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAGmZAST4BQ0
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA2wdtRYhePp
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAoVrx8GYnhq
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAyuwnSTKQyK
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAvqsCN11Uzr
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAducAqvMQcp
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANArYfTUFgmRJ
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAIWpBE2Z8Wf
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAlACtjFHC6V
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA5aaKm1ws2c
(Both men laugh.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANADAaetAJSfT
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAjxSHNK1xOQ
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANALzzhDsqdg8
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAhvaBf8ZnJF
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAVKWom2O1wX
1176Please respect copyright.PENANABFHf4eATdm
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?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAdESVqZxw0K
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA7z6ex3Yq5y
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANApgdBEU4qZG
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAgtpGZTGyj0
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA2kYliYqjCo
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAdTzug4bMcm
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAayFflFnlG4
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAmyLfD3CIbB
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAWMUb5MbmSm
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAhVr8PIW8Pc
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAwtZr7p06eL
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAOetzjE1jcF
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAZtVCwMRV3R
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qhx1eBJxC
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAT1OKpkOvXV
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAZIWUCCyrKN
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAUrZJXdSwzB
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAiOd3pWawer
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAx2uXWHbzqO
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAktcxDosA0L
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAfgQdw312Dm
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA3dXJarBp7R
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAuILZdYaTGx
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAclEyNdUQH9
(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.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAdZwPgDjSxX
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA2GDoX273Cp
BUTCH
What's this?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAizJJahXmlt
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAB4L4wPCdRd
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAMa5qYdjrTX
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAtmXGAL5QIc
(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.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANADgMqjtiTsE
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAZajzc5xvZz
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA5zlDd5QXcq
1176Please respect copyright.PENANADjAS9zR3Ic
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAcZqRjGCeuw
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAINyhBQfCZZ
(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.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAoroRg5LnMv
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAMRmeeoXLw8
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAxJWQus7exu
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAgSYteXXQsg
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANARa9uCNBAwz
1176Please respect copyright.PENANADChhW7fJM6
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!
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAL4MmpozKgf
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAW2lRt836TL
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAlBV1QX7ely
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAdqY1zUZfzm
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAASDuAhtqjO
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAoDE9jp8hDG
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA66fuywxKde
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAqHJosowiLo
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAw7UUWtnZHQ
1176Please respect copyright.PENANANgc484hCFX
(The two shake hands. )
1176Please respect copyright.PENANABc0nyeKH10
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZItDW8ACC
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA7QMh7lNver
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAP1dZoOq46Q
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Z5L2Ygro
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAV5YwNjek8L
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAwtUP3YyKfJ
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAp8LFkMNFAa
BUTCH
How so?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANApvajm3xKL6
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAf5KLAKrNVI
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA7nDOCrs4o6
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAXHuho27E9y
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAGrfuJIgNnr
1176Please respect copyright.PENANACwnhv3CNl4
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAvwsLkLt6US
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAJWFn9t0PlI
BUTCH
They sure?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAo9Spds6Hb7
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA26H21uzJeg
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA8QZs1OA4ej
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ64POoYaw
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAJthQdlcyiv
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAQGFZ6OzbeN
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAVKHj3fxfP6
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA9UbJbv4sRc
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAL09JsDEpkh
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAXK2pSKwtaB
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAtbzZgwF7JF
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAEJlVIIjWvG
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA2K3dWKTOfJ
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAm2W1noESC5
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANASzjNLuzKK1
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA0n8ZFOVPlT
BUTCH
And the other favor?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAmlZ2WJe28b
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA845qpfX9ya
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAorZwWjLeND
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAuMre2mdjcA
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA0BsflWDGR2
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAxKIOBfajlT
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA2WU5AmLpn3
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAQO1aBJeHTv
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAy4BUiDc1JO
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAoOXXY9FiYf
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANApYlGSFUYUh
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAvs45hghbrd
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAyo39n30LcO
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAUsbeXU4Gag
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAeR3py0OO0Y
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAIFOIh50ypP
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAZjw3XyNd2e
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA5KT0Xhouav
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANADFZ8iYXGTo
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1TgHwo1E0
(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.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAO5fIHgfGIc
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAkZhWDhSk3o
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAxFToGI075u
1176Please respect copyright.PENANACChy0Kb2cn
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAFKDzOqjIIe
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA0O8hRvtkRW
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAArvWH0zU1u
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAlC2J0QnoDG
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAIICAgTGJGA
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAco5JDN6DQc
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAaqwORspmQW
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA88rzeWACXl
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAq9ASQ7Nu0F
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAM6k4gRBB1S
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.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAZa2GuniX1L
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAiDtVGWup56
(Both men laugh.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAecStbUpXav
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAsnJ7QnPH0u
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANADfXdgOuL0d
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3FGzBPE3N
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAZFC7SzkjUM
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA9YlgwwWw7z
(Butch whistles loudly.)
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAKAFG3iNnic
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ho2xa3KoW
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAqj4VCefUBA
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAqoEkhPZBJA
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAhZIuPeFfzx
1176Please respect copyright.PENANA3xNp7fTGCw
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAVWcOKvlCtn
1176Please respect copyright.PENANAcsKFeuBTdy
(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.)
