EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZMnGKVnr1
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWVhjNuAzH
(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.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi3f4G3lFU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeE4OPyWq8
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzEfnHJ9jw
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcMXR1jqnZ
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7VYSTU01w
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRbypBLbqf
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsUcU1IyQI
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx7EAKwXjX
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA6jmSaHhY
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSP5b35NmN
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyqGV5984y
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEglgv3uGf
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6gpnreEMZ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQQIHpYWE6
(Both men laugh.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOOSkaYozW
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo48BJVfVK
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfECEB1D8e3
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMoLXt9rup
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErH6MErwU1
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmRDMhRTnt
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?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLbMCagpqm
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8guNOXt6fz
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPmVUmTDfK
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHGrLXJbP7
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkocJ35n63
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCBQr46lgW
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3gdub0xwL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxIF6D33gb
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo67rPOKSkI
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPfvGyRKe9
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHUqcKZrUh
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkpyqWB8ut
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTVsNBaE2u
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmsWpey3d7
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfMacsr6d4
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGb3O1Of8M
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXrQ6rGxxU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VN7GKYDd
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwcncqIcQo
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mitGh8Jnn
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcLiUOnCcS
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nH36GLkf2
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDadwbThSVP
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQU4AtDJTe
(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.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUcZu91tg
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDiYkwifGZ
BUTCH
What's this?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGdN3tpiL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02FswHLy6E
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS6yaVsydX
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ctz4RPCnV
(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.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0X8SpHkx8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEER1jirjVZ
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSndhJEn7oM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhPqAAa08M
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1snc7LcVl
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69uOlZN06t
(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.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynO06PUm8k
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09q8hzWnA
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIMP09cXE5
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm0Bo8goli
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFup7IfS4N
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fqhxY0WFb
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!
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQEPGzZKtn
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvppBuHtSg
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1SBGTnqBq
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGml2V68ODu
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZxwC6sYn2
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K2dw1rMWk
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMYTq8iniQ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7uxyintOD
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLjnePzVPC
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTqDGTMKqo
(The two shake hands. )
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki2KqKPN3i
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MILPZ0Y02
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2SdsrIHni
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAKwdjkRG2
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Do4RZpUr
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvELPoXqhUo
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7LqGtxzwE
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnBGNnjWPB
BUTCH
How so?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMaTH7NRgN
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvadDMhkWP
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHmhFXfvLk
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyezabiEH4h
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpL7S7agqG
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxCYk5kKte
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxfFEInXB4
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DzJ20wLbS
BUTCH
They sure?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZJJ52f7RA
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuDCfvDUUf
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3Ud1bIQM
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBYLHfXWWO
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSvdESwswL
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lrsedPzB3
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHAsOBgmAK
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYFpmlhDtV
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo8sCiHsB3
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKtrP97ymi
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvlItKmHTg
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxmqDLS0zS
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNm8D9Sx0i
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUKVsI5756
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIFe0965jh
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U5tRctvb7
BUTCH
And the other favor?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICi40VBnyw
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeFNOkBahG
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfbhRphUB
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrysbFLub5y
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZFBY4p4CI
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqMYmoxFc
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEerjQmSXA
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmYHblGKqF
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvbnC3BFIC
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCX8WTCyT3
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mB8iSzH5x
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qQWlqIve
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyB0PV23Rn
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkahfJquv
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaapKrXJHf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rRmmBw496
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSLllrywaP
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK2HvlVmqr
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVDV5Gx0G8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQhFmV922
(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.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQONu9rPpSU
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY50mBQz207
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwh5xCZ6EQ
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohjBrjZqTw
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vc9urzQTj
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXO6FnhEUO
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO44yQOVdbn
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RAm4ph9on
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyXbT3uTaD
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbifFmlC0b
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuom2qp4CF
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYKxVm0stA
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIHMkcGpki
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B1BwbS5CU
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.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0STaGtlJNk
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2x6gvk6F
(Both men laugh.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12jrSb5bq8
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa3F7SDXCS
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQJ2Ylcbz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPiF1AFh6M
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYaGZG2KEo
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugCBOb2VBV
(Butch whistles loudly.)
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsZmkwp6yf
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxxqP9hhYk
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuWw8WhR3l
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4usrRf1ke
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4QhMqZOz
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1fN4gMeBT
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwNsPRnK52
851Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA27CFl7Pt
(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.)
