855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vtS45Qy8i
(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.)

855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIOCRhwVkW
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8EcQd6tjr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUZQsSsfWv
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Vs01WQiq
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobkczrKkMK
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt85io2bxH
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX4glouYwu
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsjnAtxeTR
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvBon1qMsF
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWz05EUpcn
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjd2ReutXm
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FUVo7QSH
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxjIFZjdji
(Both men laugh.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWLzVe9AcB
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdrPZtboVP
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF3G6SUWok
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ6VUrUoEs
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqITYmh4H7d
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ymNmhpMB
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?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbNgWftR7V
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjoPY1iInN
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpEzxJ1DfF
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAu4fIUSY4
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdmCu3p7GY
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4c49lzZG
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXfJb6ltbr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM15fLvai1H
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0qxdThcXA
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F5h4l03ZC
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkc3Eown6i
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cX9Y7ebro
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxVIZQ9x90
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn3vfjCks3
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8hqDM33n7
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhpkn626NN
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdawMwQmKVH
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eEHuUNiKJ
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzXOEtYP5R
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLwuInzB6Z
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2O5xkQYKl
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQqkXugKou
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JugzNLBIZ
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AuENynsa8
(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.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlak1xEmP1
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxgTsEP7zT
BUTCH
What's this?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoul7ODoza0
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91PInNlt5J
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK0tZy31Fd
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrZOA0dCWj
(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.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC4vtV27mr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBpicZvDTX
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVwkDeIdb1
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2u5kCY3eR
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd92bTnGu1O
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZfS885tvh
(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.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGAfBmw7K1
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bB5kQVM6J
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkqYTjLt3n
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyhiNTszE3
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8fUstTrm9
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW96K0Nias
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!
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVB5wji8IR
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbD67GLIzR
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJrl4RvMhA
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdN7JUk4p9
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V59mL1WEi
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYtZvo2Hbz
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7AOd1aGK5
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB9B04FnMb
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U7DZN1ATi
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5sIASDOni
(The two shake hands. )
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwmyvUBUKb
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XRLbG8kxr
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9PJL7tOwx
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KTOmw6H4i
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNBrCaLzIa
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIZ2zdeDNI
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG3kZlqIQ3
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT9UXrguCG
BUTCH
How so?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNfYNTweS8
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg32OXXMvNU
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0YMb373XD
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFCLO3YLc
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTpFDSvrnJ
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF6iyEseK8
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Q2T9ULmz
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pjjer78nQ
BUTCH
They sure?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxWUH7mAH0
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAMMt2qAT0
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPR0GltX4m
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4SZmXFE91
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7Xw5AT8k
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ52m87u49W
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn5e09vIAk
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhap0dIRK
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oORsmF5Tj
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzi1HejUhY
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRY2QGYuj5
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qv8Di4ZHR
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZHalylSXH
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdpM3zAWaR
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zz8GUiMwz
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71NYgtsMJC
BUTCH
And the other favor?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7UuXE5r4s
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSoc4uNiZ6
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRmNOVAxJ5
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRjvJhR87
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJGotV4bUQ
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpN9BNr3Ba
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMvi8q6wz6
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJHALbMoSR
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVzXpJMSDo
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fmury1pu
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzzYjQ72Sd
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6o3PD8rBQ
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcchwmlJGM
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWvEBgglol
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuviChHEylR
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtojSxMF9bb
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1NkAeJiyi
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hoUSWVmzL
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjILtULUfM7
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyB5Gp5JfZ
(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.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5lKogTay
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJbSNpPrW5
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y46ebMua2
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr9itI65lY
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGyUzwT0fV
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK1f17Ilo2
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuNrmBkWQr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug45SdUct3
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0FPujVxfV
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOG15PpTnN
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFM13OuR4V
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLiQvcblZ
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGstFn1JaIN
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Idv1qG16z
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.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRR7L3qXcP
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQE1io9X03
(Both men laugh.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9yKjXR5FY
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSoI8FptZ
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDHPkZNcv
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBK9gRnZpD
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5nmJsMcwM
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFVEEsvutc
(Butch whistles loudly.)
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PZ7TpC9pr
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyYhJHhADl
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbTGTeCFuL
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlXjvIslDZ
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOYFF7c3Nm
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetdmhdxbBF
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4aZDq71CU
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlC4IFWOM3
(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.)
