EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
622Please respect copyright.PENANAirZbj4MgLQ
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zf6yRAxY6
(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.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGIC53bMKHb
622Please respect copyright.PENANASFzvw4pL2L
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAoRFcBUkdYY
622Please respect copyright.PENANALgxuH5Fheo
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhYpsZhxbfL
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6U7t1jsLk2
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA81ZIyaYu8f
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5lFkrIywFL
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAG64AeqQeve
622Please respect copyright.PENANAPATy7yhMik
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANALHMOcy6TZ7
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtxrtG5baO5
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkOuSdcoJlh
622Please respect copyright.PENANAwgFVQRKUhS
(Both men laugh.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmFNx8Wbh90
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOMxMihrU3v
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0PBmOsgxZC
622Please respect copyright.PENANAb2lX88MwIT
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhsadU71Aqy
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVf1XGutnIN
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?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAyjjH0jMspm
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMHbf7bFBhl
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFwf02eLY4O
622Please respect copyright.PENANABmsfLjyctZ
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOk8jJkcx4u
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhy5B9KX7Z0
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfm1ZKcsubR
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOtIPtbESqU
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAllHiOkTr9B
622Please respect copyright.PENANAoFORBNPJGB
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAdAjutvMJz0
622Please respect copyright.PENANALMiwyjj20S
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
622Please respect copyright.PENANALnRSp4ZTJN
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtPgxmOygzp
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVDF5KMwSUm
622Please respect copyright.PENANASgglwqQVIH
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5vVVsTaSU6
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHAlM917ufG
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVyEjA6AeUz
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVsBt2JthMc
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6SDyIBYqS
622Please respect copyright.PENANAElkJMeb4Kk
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAw2rgvc0Cfn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGEU5iXqte5
(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.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZY35Xaw28
622Please respect copyright.PENANAiTceIOmpFB
BUTCH
What's this?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFWKueddeqq
622Please respect copyright.PENANAfTWKDFoyeF
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0upcG1z4W5
622Please respect copyright.PENANAMK4gn7IFHu
(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.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2YLizYXDST
622Please respect copyright.PENANAIvqG7Etewz
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtPALSyUXHl
622Please respect copyright.PENANAJXOcPeXS5c
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA54hTakzICU
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3kDQZbwxb
(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.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZDJDaO8pB1
622Please respect copyright.PENANAbvsGVJLuGN
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAm589BK0nkO
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjBjeA8FT5j
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEHyaBFhrz8
622Please respect copyright.PENANAlpIb3uwk0p
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!
622Please respect copyright.PENANAosbejf2ANe
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOw7xZj9ABV
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANARmRJSAAB5q
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2FImZr8odH
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0qiXo1I5Jf
622Please respect copyright.PENANApTCJbRmaNF
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA22gtgT1HyC
622Please respect copyright.PENANAxw0IepNu1R
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAxIgChwgdqP
622Please respect copyright.PENANAVCgyrRyIiM
(The two shake hands. )
622Please respect copyright.PENANAD1Gm3Rq1xn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqXX2iEEx9D
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAkWMb25RshO
622Please respect copyright.PENANAiTsNsGgIt1
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAT2CtiIAKiO
622Please respect copyright.PENANACzFC6cvbaN
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0QUgf9sHZg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAhIxi6BNw4m
BUTCH
How so?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAY5UTY6gDhx
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8oDtgbaEKo
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOMYlFjIezJ
622Please respect copyright.PENANANjfWSmrVoy
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAlpj2ljsG2c
622Please respect copyright.PENANAsM2yJrMZmy
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAGg3qS8zloM
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjsEaDZfN3U
BUTCH
They sure?
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8WbcNr4oSn
622Please respect copyright.PENANAv03TkMfCN7
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA0C2Ujh8r60
622Please respect copyright.PENANAw1PvyBOb1D
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAr6WKEo7tkY
622Please respect copyright.PENANAWHsWQKCkeY
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAKLKLCuSqBs
622Please respect copyright.PENANA18Mqsqof71
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8aou2Xiqlc
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtqZJHgwcG0
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA7iLOh5nEiC
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2TB2K2j1DU
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9HltUcfYr5
622Please respect copyright.PENANAY4qVOEXUzJ
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA7LIg8nKyCd
622Please respect copyright.PENANATpxofZEER3
BUTCH
And the other favor?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqMAZbCbj1p
622Please respect copyright.PENANAutyFBmbZc0
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAckM59S0hcd
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjvG8O0qk5y
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
622Please respect copyright.PENANAgVKtqwED5y
622Please respect copyright.PENANArpPmcaMKMz
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAV6Yvj3X98N
622Please respect copyright.PENANApnPrVDVtY8
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANApjwm5dqwXi
622Please respect copyright.PENANAHsTAspvCg2
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAEUldSMPggc
622Please respect copyright.PENANA9E649Vmqpd
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
622Please respect copyright.PENANA44ZKgawOka
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFPS7F322Bp
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAAqYZNn2POg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAB92WeLMal5
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAah9YDsjipe
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmnzyOek0MK
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
622Please respect copyright.PENANABJn7v1RZcm
622Please respect copyright.PENANACPzMCgio11
(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.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANAOiCZXwaRzg
622Please respect copyright.PENANAukfPPqbUGV
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAlXGWZBMOhy
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFOJ8SxCFi2
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAnvDyar1qi0
622Please respect copyright.PENANASTfarG5nEO
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAR4yOjcj67j
622Please respect copyright.PENANAv0rPlX8FOH
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAh86qDxs4nD
622Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ2hE3vukT
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
622Please respect copyright.PENANAYjiP62HcK6
622Please respect copyright.PENANA26OcezTmDz
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAqpjvDPDnuS
622Please respect copyright.PENANANGa0UV8xJD
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.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAtoQBLbyid9
622Please respect copyright.PENANA8LxlcJSqdu
(Both men laugh.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANAaUG7m7wmtH
622Please respect copyright.PENANACKn20IaRP9
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAuQrmvGNT9Z
622Please respect copyright.PENANA5S6o8GMTI4
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
622Please respect copyright.PENANA2pW2852YFs
622Please respect copyright.PENANAZxtKX2akib
(Butch whistles loudly.)
622Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ7GFpRwIz
622Please respect copyright.PENANA4PlkBvvGML
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
622Please respect copyright.PENANAjiNDajT3A6
622Please respect copyright.PENANA1J7BzXYmea
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAFzv8ED1jam
622Please respect copyright.PENANAQGpVR7VWec
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
622Please respect copyright.PENANAI6gUXjvoFW
622Please respect copyright.PENANALCcFHYwqzn
(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.)
