EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkyP5mME78J
631Please respect copyright.PENANATMvviUyILm
(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.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQgSRANyFzR
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wpx9FeVMF
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoyr6jrwi4Z
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfbMiroVnc9
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOo7J5DTHnn
631Please respect copyright.PENANA54Vitb0nKn
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKXAx1VaI9F
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeG85lBxoxZ
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAh5v9VSg87e
631Please respect copyright.PENANAHDBA0oGopY
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANA35hTnfgcQW
631Please respect copyright.PENANABvqQqU79Tv
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxlbgl93eZD
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7s4v0C0Ma3
(Both men laugh.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Vw9HH7Hw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZwy8nIsyCl
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEE7jn2gGdO
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9va6H4wOCr
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlcLDa8nhqv
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfxKDQWO3fV
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?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZjtMX37tSW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAOi2369jf8
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAcabVV2EHPf
631Please respect copyright.PENANApuTV2iCPNf
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAM7nNEoogRS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmA7okXS8sL
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuxEIwsWPw3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAz59KTx93fK
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAI84zWPIbDb
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOz32DxoJyA
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAHYwFjeQQ1q
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAy0C9aIPxB
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAay6bvRhw1J
631Please respect copyright.PENANAzduTmqPq1v
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyOVJBpB8Uk
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMaVqx6OAFD
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
631Please respect copyright.PENANA2QDT5BbPxQ
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0fJ2k98Gli
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMVL4377uLT
631Please respect copyright.PENANAE7f3hZzJrl
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfVy1rGqUFZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAq6yXJnPaEd
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEwj1zi9CI5
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbEtrGTC3VC
(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.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAYpqYlB26LX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJ32Bog2MaV
BUTCH
What's this?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgJGEwhkkzz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAP0LyY3xtlk
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
631Please respect copyright.PENANArC0aMPqZw3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAt7UQj3yEQz
(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.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAo2efDXHnI
631Please respect copyright.PENANAj2q0DC5USW
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUXrX6U0s4Z
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuCOHfqv9dv
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
631Please respect copyright.PENANABbziHdy2pg
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhm61scZ1Ku
(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.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKGhOl9kFv9
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4tRF1lXiWt
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9sJOY0hJ0T
631Please respect copyright.PENANAB7JDjbV2JA
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANACBQtOOdjsi
631Please respect copyright.PENANArIr0beKllT
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!
631Please respect copyright.PENANADIrepnO1wN
631Please respect copyright.PENANActNwXGhi8M
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwjD95eoT7T
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIJNY3yZWIs
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAHUzOsauYXk
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7csNV7LLCT
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPCsuTxv52m
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwe3w484h7F
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAu45RImqrsU
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQVpNakhzbe
(The two shake hands. )
631Please respect copyright.PENANAA5xfOwY9Mp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjVsK1vYr3b
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjwsSIo6Eam
631Please respect copyright.PENANApjRpgQ1pTD
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
631Please respect copyright.PENANABa63OSJzmz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPgEsEbgbpD
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGIBLL7o1Ib
631Please respect copyright.PENANApcpWUbKASn
BUTCH
How so?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAz9MNWyXHVp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkZoCn9uRRa
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAn5IclbjV0E
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIrOWBiTh2M
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQkKcBZ6Acu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAz84wt5Kt7E
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGaZQCz1X13
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7wjWRnmVyR
BUTCH
They sure?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIP75PM2QWH
631Please respect copyright.PENANAP4yRP7QmeI
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPMPXXTIwP9
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeYhnyhdxxr
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfWRNOHg1Fe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFB5ucTyTmt
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAj8OFEBMlHR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAq7sVLrIQTo
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAW9DZBMxxaR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAm2rjvLNYVr
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmeOH70j6mK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAkCIVkg30mO
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ1yoKA1iQ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjPQOfvcerr
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ400v4TiH
631Please respect copyright.PENANABTD5CLRSCo
BUTCH
And the other favor?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAnW6mxOkf4Z
631Please respect copyright.PENANAtEqkKhafMp
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
631Please respect copyright.PENANATT8VKlsLox
631Please respect copyright.PENANAsuPwNeEo2l
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAiFVG3tuBl
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwi6Y7Dne5l
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwbEmX9uIsf
631Please respect copyright.PENANATxZhAtCpcz
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAtuxO4f7eWw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAcpsY2R4Y4t
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAe3E097fdv9
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5WbXMy4H02
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlbHGuJeZR2
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAcXShQF3zy
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAfxZmU5TKn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUX3t7iQBYc
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAe6YyAwtWuY
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoF0FpxfySt
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOgqv2XdtSu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxJFhaD0fsU
(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.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0RnM40IJgZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAN5Xcw5b04R
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAegN1QCNXrK
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3UmBhVd2fu
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJVigwb7j4g
631Please respect copyright.PENANA6m1ePisHJI
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAvpjE7R5tyI
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5k9TwyAqWD
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXtF14uieHk
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUGUiQAZZ8r
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
631Please respect copyright.PENANAEUggR2h028
631Please respect copyright.PENANAafcp220y2N
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
631Please respect copyright.PENANACfXO8MAFs3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXkYCoaiWWr
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.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAPtVESXTPYS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAL168B9DSE1
(Both men laugh.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjwLuITwhDD
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiuGNuTOvz2
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1QLjNjXUup
631Please respect copyright.PENANAon08FxM4Ai
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAw5E4tYpxLV
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFvAEyWj4HJ
(Butch whistles loudly.)
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjOZZGRkn94
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZn23YIoxYG
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyKEmTmWmFU
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0AWA68bnWO
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
631Please respect copyright.PENANANKgOOHiuZX
631Please respect copyright.PENANATuwCqP2hJJ
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVSTmNVchHT
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVleS3ZDOTV
(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.)
