EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
892Please respect copyright.PENANAMwwpvSxfeh
892Please respect copyright.PENANACiKMFIrCO6
(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.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANAU6zjl1Vdt7
892Please respect copyright.PENANA18yPeUK5kc
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ZXhF5AMU
892Please respect copyright.PENANAFixT0tXDvC
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAdfKXnssl3Q
892Please respect copyright.PENANAoAn1u5hIXS
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAcHBom7ne3U
892Please respect copyright.PENANADF1oFeGiL4
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAdoVz0jXVTx
892Please respect copyright.PENANAY0YDAiOP8s
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAHhXVqwSxUB
892Please respect copyright.PENANAq17Uw9KIZz
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA9DPvaafMwC
892Please respect copyright.PENANAUFdnz5msjA
(Both men laugh.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANAnk2FNX4ICd
892Please respect copyright.PENANALZVLWAz8Nf
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAPowA2ByPZf
892Please respect copyright.PENANAx5gjj4rhUF
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA6VLLGM7mr7
892Please respect copyright.PENANATG2gKUgcG8
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?
892Please respect copyright.PENANA0DgbuG8pou
892Please respect copyright.PENANAHssJchSFKg
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANARKZlgAEion
892Please respect copyright.PENANAG9Qt7bDIVc
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA87YLCxF7xS
892Please respect copyright.PENANAzUlzV34eRb
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAOLwGXstpfM
892Please respect copyright.PENANAyBcDPyyBJE
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA4if5p6Le3F
892Please respect copyright.PENANAqa9iTvVBpX
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
892Please respect copyright.PENANASZGRU71XNp
892Please respect copyright.PENANA2C2TgR6dE9
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAV2EQlReqd9
892Please respect copyright.PENANArqraHqxfHt
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAehOVMBLqO0
892Please respect copyright.PENANAvYebZFuWmo
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAGuDpOaRSKX
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVTJ0nK7qp3
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAZMhBKT9Wto
892Please respect copyright.PENANAZudHVNp8lT
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAaKXNCMQhNj
892Please respect copyright.PENANARYmBZ3ScNO
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANALYjb1GGLCR
892Please respect copyright.PENANAdy1XoWkKG1
(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.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANATEPZpHUTEm
892Please respect copyright.PENANA1ekAmFGAZ3
BUTCH
What's this?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAQGyy6hG3xa
892Please respect copyright.PENANAla5KAGeLGD
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuSWI0OXRA9
892Please respect copyright.PENANAooHxHPjnRc
(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.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANA1kSFP7FOZp
892Please respect copyright.PENANAqVjVjq2SZP
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
892Please respect copyright.PENANA4e0mrmGhPT
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVwrCM7WRNh
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA8uwc6WNhoA
892Please respect copyright.PENANAIjOkBlOR3i
(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.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANAtcwTNj8kTm
892Please respect copyright.PENANAKbaDck579R
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAHvj3IGgCHZ
892Please respect copyright.PENANA0hSfSwrDhO
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA80nD02AWny
892Please respect copyright.PENANAdSd7uqRtZC
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!
892Please respect copyright.PENANAKDZDF1x0tJ
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVAR5BtM4bx
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAxNpwxGOT2u
892Please respect copyright.PENANAOSaxFeoZjP
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuUIqNGH8TN
892Please respect copyright.PENANAKZNy7pzolL
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAd2TFPQTR1k
892Please respect copyright.PENANA0oAiRM0gyI
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA1ASseWa0Oh
892Please respect copyright.PENANAk7PoliojXy
(The two shake hands. )
892Please respect copyright.PENANANJPGlCBBus
892Please respect copyright.PENANA8M0CtywIFO
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA11ZRySTiWv
892Please respect copyright.PENANAgaTnr3iFp1
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVyoJi0Umrc
892Please respect copyright.PENANAZae6hk6d04
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA4PNnay117N
892Please respect copyright.PENANATG6086IjOf
BUTCH
How so?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAFTxYLSAZ0h
892Please respect copyright.PENANAeMxTLnVEvq
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAgyOvDOgN4W
892Please respect copyright.PENANALORhYW4NWk
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZutCmL04p
892Please respect copyright.PENANAsGNkOX9tBT
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAaJm0HaS64O
892Please respect copyright.PENANAu7ioC040Rk
BUTCH
They sure?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAYLHyJxVUS9
892Please respect copyright.PENANATdhlCMzJWf
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAnYO9KSSbIN
892Please respect copyright.PENANAm2DNOGSCYI
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
892Please respect copyright.PENANA2pYVssjYvi
892Please respect copyright.PENANAWlbIAdyDdl
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAzWQmucSYa7
892Please respect copyright.PENANAcsCf4pRrW4
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAxDcSrfpuor
892Please respect copyright.PENANAjKIezHu1hE
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAxq91pMmGf5
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuHKIvFWT0C
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAfUT8CwkgdL
892Please respect copyright.PENANAGVcX6aKXSS
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAX0BWvWtd0J
892Please respect copyright.PENANAzqcu2vCUFr
BUTCH
And the other favor?
892Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z1MDoIQBQ
892Please respect copyright.PENANAmVCX0GfDbf
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAU1uzRg7bqO
892Please respect copyright.PENANAuhZJVIxadY
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAIU9vZZ52XH
892Please respect copyright.PENANAIewkbD8qnN
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA7WbpR5km0B
892Please respect copyright.PENANAvji5QB6xbK
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANABt8i2tDyFn
892Please respect copyright.PENANAyufwbDrmNc
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAw2Aja1enXk
892Please respect copyright.PENANAsDyNSsRjvT
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVAV4KwGsUf
892Please respect copyright.PENANAnCT4EmZM8g
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAOzcXCZWSw0
892Please respect copyright.PENANAykFHsBL2nn
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVHIQfeLIZ2
892Please respect copyright.PENANAE9WN69RZ6P
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
892Please respect copyright.PENANA4U4nQbUvSq
892Please respect copyright.PENANAGHIDUNLJ9y
(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.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANA6EpogPpcMA
892Please respect copyright.PENANA1qNhZUI251
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAlHkNlggo2X
892Please respect copyright.PENANAHRb8cuELfJ
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANALrajE3KNeT
892Please respect copyright.PENANAKCttnBFORA
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAkosF1LCw1C
892Please respect copyright.PENANA3WhHlCrvP3
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAlxLpyUYGAD
892Please respect copyright.PENANANf67WuCKwl
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
892Please respect copyright.PENANAO2GRliNSpW
892Please respect copyright.PENANAyGleuhDB2U
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAJuoJhSCBZZ
892Please respect copyright.PENANAP8R7p6j4We
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.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAPgia6i7237
892Please respect copyright.PENANAJQGvYUSbBj
(Both men laugh.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANAvi8cmwibkh
892Please respect copyright.PENANAN3C5RMv6Ge
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAQCVQG5FBZJ
892Please respect copyright.PENANA06A4JBsHe1
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAVJkLoNFI2Q
892Please respect copyright.PENANAfkwLK6EIWS
(Butch whistles loudly.)
892Please respect copyright.PENANAMdMXKwxakk
892Please respect copyright.PENANAj8RLC04P9q
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
892Please respect copyright.PENANA4DcqQSfgKH
892Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vpg57jO7C
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAWi2BmSX8Wp
892Please respect copyright.PENANATh9pgkE6ot
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
892Please respect copyright.PENANAd49NJXN29j
892Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lj2xYezJ2
(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.)
