998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSvzc7Uvll
(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.)

GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpASaz7nRIE
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tObDJfsUp
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJJWY1nLSZ
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTSOuNGsYZ
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXp9vX1KI3
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyDkr32tdV
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS84vGHfHI9
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK1sxesfLr
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW52enD1N1
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfZ8U2Oa4z
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe8glOtUEy
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NiJCI6cVQ
(Both men laugh.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvquKxmuHiN
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqnz1pWAtz
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnv9ziv3bD
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs4KAkyFKb
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjImZhvQh1d
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPSfpLK3hZ
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?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡembJpyhUZB
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiwfZgvh4V
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkRYvbPEfy
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq9x1BZEnr
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvcPsbJhW6
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OGTT2fv5T
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4fp8JeCpA
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV6E97g2Wv
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizWE8TF4jk
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUgVs2B6l8
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYz5Wqp5M
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdv12kyb9Q
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkbjcx7UGY
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94kSbgLkvX
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrsM97fB9k
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNL5O2Vaxj
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF25QClIdO
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXvvwSZ8F1
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rIns0ejXv
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaelaoNGvoZ
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutABm7uTzc
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm3A6PXbJ3
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85OR1gXyHw
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d7ImgYH8v
(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.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO0aiK4mKA
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLTsxhJfe
BUTCH
What's this?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXdsvQSxpb
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF6bWgkdpa
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa528kW0P5g
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyL9O3jYQc
(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.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NcfAtTmZE
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7fjs5o4VB
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSEez6liwb
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aPGnCJNq6
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBqudheWQV
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04SZQCjhWX
(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.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DAhdjezub
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ek3tgRhVp
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW24nE44tnD
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRKc4zMxw
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke9nt4xrPC
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFMHIipkkB
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!
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkIfIasn9j
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q6ZXj88fZ
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLo6n9CCuh
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmrYWdLJPX
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhmaR2wsSd
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3PH81Hc3Z
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1m3tLPep
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75KaOoiGn5
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh3SLz9GWL
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGJQqzgCDX
(The two shake hands. )
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X5uY7gjLE
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YKo7Ciq8R
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1CzoDRHhQ
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRbvx877s5
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFnYEpLH0T
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtNfblgE4B
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG0yttrMQ6
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphtbXBY2Co
BUTCH
How so?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi9gmn1kBx
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLmS12vDUo
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEPG1Ov7O9
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lqs6HDO9x
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dl9boQvW4
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KlFZNHtZ4
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hUFYC7zhE
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbZhXTMkVm
BUTCH
They sure?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q5TkX2UwB
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMkk8Qrbjh
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdviVbQCmk
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHrLjsWIaX
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDitSummkv
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ZhTq0fdL
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjaYoah0rq
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam1NcUnn9h
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUyJvFCBXO
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hjjbBNSJ3
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v0mGhOMOZ
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsqcnKMQJG
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikyXBzBje
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTK75W0V4M
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlwhOxCTML
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBti3i14i69
BUTCH
And the other favor?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8NowqHfps
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbvLIAc8qp
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauK9HhCwVS
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCAwE3Ttl
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7EC5LfNJ
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwOR7xnw0C
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4rsEwpp4k
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTP2Z1vzm
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKcvbGcIdm
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwvZq24OU1
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUm0KraJl
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T3lqRkjuX
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI3vPLSBUy
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlUSjkSnaS
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwobAjYP2V
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSmNu72PQx
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn0N5oJjtv
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzG4nWGFmi
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57sJLhI6TA
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ399RPRZP65
(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.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdb4BqLw0f
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQgDGyoQt
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVgD5Oy4np
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZutAz7hAYP
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxNaSODRHH
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2DvuJDTPj
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7e7WvEhhz
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZhwidEPZi
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmCeSceSUd
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMuaDb6A0H
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VjDgjiqi
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeFzaOEewp
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSroi5YcKk1
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZk8VHpeen
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.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl6cpA4SNC
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAOfJ1pIwZ
(Both men laugh.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhMvTq79ue
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCiE7VgxFm
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWWOJDzQlL
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMkYz3Rh1m
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybA032gamx
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcoAoXOy2O
(Butch whistles loudly.)
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkH54YLZOg
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz6bTVcncG
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY2Cx0j3aJ
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxSm6kRrvG
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8otOC3BFs
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciwFI2YShD
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdTllozDHj
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCPgLWVH3r
(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.)
