EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIusn86rZM
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwYpH2ihm5
(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.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6JwkVNv8s
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WLuhoYQhh
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9e8gNvUs
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD0cI4mBPI
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJwx468U2x
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHRp86HeUh
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNDN7XrIft
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGadmkSM7b
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOCtd6PEwO
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5xQxUEauw
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3cZLJzN2j
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTjndsBrqM
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbHoCmXDzI
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3tqB4wW2o
(Both men laugh.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sEd6rwa7t
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFZd4Px7NZ
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvNjeMzTIq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Xo3rYJqq
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhI8IDyIJl
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uk228CgLB
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?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNzYZ6iV9c
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ66qKa7c1
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g0Zr4LxKn
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJa1e6buPh
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0JP7Z2MDZ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLybYTNvaT
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1foFuj5x5u
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG31jHgncV
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1txLXKPIPR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCI8YDOtZw
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqTDrxd7JR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyDTwBPXrE
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPF6nNNnyD
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JaMt1O554
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoivwZVe7T
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQOQM2cNmT
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqs6MpEIzN
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kBiWWBlxM
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IDSI5DkjY
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1KYtaBm4
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mY0sbjUzM
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KRCPQAWzC
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJEfova9i
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEsWfi3kag
(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.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnlAsegT2j
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB8bHuG2qG
BUTCH
What's this?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U6p9NcvZZ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykvBHbpRN
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAExt7oOt0
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMPcLWgI8
(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.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHVO1SVLqi
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNQcQMXkH9
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGjoM0mQp
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff5OHRBfmz
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpjXFPhAKK
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xbSJ4pJMT
(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.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwGbSkr5At
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uQEDfakqo
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U0ymSVVG9
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aZfAGpcb6
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JqcUO760y
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos3B798nET
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!
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJyDl9qVmz
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0UuMTcMnE
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKpiY6xq5
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlh9YeVCmx
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdX0uuGi5H
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM1L63yL3l
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKn06lafva
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q9Ms5fpDY
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CEsts8LCq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU81A5Zg6o
(The two shake hands. )
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdRV4eqEw
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68mb35eM3
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF96AWesnU
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIaciUgzK9
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbzRwQCDk6
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN5TSLQOo1
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mKFBL4g2f
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1208v7LJD
BUTCH
How so?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwyjZJcQnA
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaXGUurdcL
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYagv9Nnsx
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhr21DTcVa
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDD8z4psJk
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcu4yXjwQK
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGYa09QQaT
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ258tBZ4pnW
BUTCH
They sure?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTzTqM5CDB
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGILtZiMysl
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZuZbWRJjA
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQLj6Lm2l
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1QAzboPex
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Zw2NPzu8
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78706qJ4Aj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0z0Crr1pf
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZskKnMfSix
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX4ByPmDra
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BXWhlxI9
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt41uEhZyVl
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCqPOgDOro
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr7wwyFHvB
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ621xSMCibU
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpD7M5DRUn
BUTCH
And the other favor?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJUwz407em
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYsUdrvu3Z
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhVXvQCi7O
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAfwzkFm4G
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFFdirkcUp
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvszYE4qTS
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUakCfVgSx
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MZxLC23g
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB0JZrtX6o
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH1tZRsoRn
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWZfi227tq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrb6KelLdH
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26WAL91Dp2
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaNSiEDn17
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2HMzG7wpS
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdg920UHGI
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzgYEEHboH
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGbDN3IlbX
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyznbve023X
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0x0qwLjJN
(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.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8HqderdWy
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5x8qCAe8
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7VHDkkUJc
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ38W63nr3
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwhNwWJJj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcgcrdmj1k
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkONeuvKK
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcsOYc2Mzz
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzliaDCiTiQ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEAUslt8dU
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAORTSSsaiw
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqOu9Eu9KR
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k87JTYd2u
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8nDRIP1wv
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.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc3PYgGKoK
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZw7aVLtWc
(Both men laugh.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjNFqxtNK3
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpij6NcntBa
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jtzuP8zyh
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1655MZXUB
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QpK5luqVq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgE6smdC0N
(Butch whistles loudly.)
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaYY0zFAAX
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXJzMFkB8J
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWDlt4WKjA
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWTNXzh8Qm
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeG8veKaMj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eyVMI12bv
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4IVNGtFKK
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADHTIMWWWU
(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.)
