709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWV52louOn
(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.)

709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f2S3SiDC3
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRZfxrd21v
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuXiYVJKNo
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfCzOyy14
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQZOk6HMCc
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oZtBmkh3h
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO84jwjUBD
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OVMKpQBvy
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQkiuEuHWs
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04kXtPViCg
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jZVjZfm1Y
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8HrHxSeYA
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuHmDJu49q
(Both men laugh.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8p6U99Q01
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQU66YOh9
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRIEEMOftk
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZMq1vOxBM
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwnZ5LXskR
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe2XbG5i4M
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?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgFwRI6MVZ
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi42vkZxCS4
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4mJME4cfO
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdr4BiOZEP
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mxeR6TyT0
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdxD4cnmQU
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dbxECe1Rh
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0YOCu1E4q
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RCh4Nterz
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANcmP8kdKs
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1QnOPZWiz
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRCkxPHyBI
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMYYH9kpo6
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOLrfCx6pL
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8jLuqqqzd
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxdtUiKCXS
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl7aoKyK9i
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6AkWlqEXX
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1UCTBREx
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jAtjYcMrF
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItdgCdw9u2
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiudqlvuHb
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuytsFYGGty
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhQpwe1rAx
(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.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkp57dnTe
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLQBGW6GWD
BUTCH
What's this?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfXA4vqQk3
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALq5ZXippu
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WdWr2Tu0Q
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3aoEotbpy
(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.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTlcOfTkMi
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPJhEUOgc
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7qDPwvvSI
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgCcReYwIi
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyFO7D7Wiu
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ZwiODeCx
(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.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuuUwdq8Gp
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXeUr9GWa6
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLer1rYJLk
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQidUvWuIk
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf0prCn1V4
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbPAlofgQO
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!
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v8tRQB5cC
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t4GrPvtFj
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXjD0WvM7
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I9bmr87uD
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUzdapS5Iz
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q8WHnC5aR
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZo1ctag3C
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr5LcH8ipL
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlf7IgAybB
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfWHnMyt01
(The two shake hands. )
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0SLbTSjsB
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3azbPtsJ7
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgktTp4WAH
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUESS3D9Wba
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8bOi98EBH
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA37Llj45D
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr7asF8joN
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG9nrvHpql
BUTCH
How so?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyf6zllKG8
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1LfqaiICV
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcCgC3J5ot
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiJCEsokBF
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsEwuntPzk
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGlqjJ7k9L
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeKLNPuGWS
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sXfpq0Ibd
BUTCH
They sure?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZb7c4tOUp
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqBJCBxlgp
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN7g6s2Ib9
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYpije53Xx
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EFzUrNkjv
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZA04jbmas
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Csiwsi7C
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFCKLCTFY7
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR81zHgBCO
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9whCCFbe5p
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX5AqpswTq
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCEmUrLnlu
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASAUzrsuDN
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9vClPwXEk
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9siG0I2K
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn1JC1CM4W
BUTCH
And the other favor?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokl7GtWmMX
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OLG6fnqFn
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsmgwOGfs0
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cs3cOJIrK
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrQZEwVVNd
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEZx3PjAB7
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSqud1gvTq
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWaC4ZV9X1
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk12EgATl1
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqgie6FCsK
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlncIaZHsC
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODbZwuAjjx
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBzvWaO1M
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEIHqCGy3E
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM1Cg0iLWC
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7hsrve4bD
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffMtWXCtW4
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUce2LypcN
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVzYvRqrXh
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbgTVW7MzD
(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.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6efJkmsRgr
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ZQHf0oYV
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhicpD7o8n
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvUtoP12A9
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTECiQ25fgB
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDG9etHykf
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvtdOD1qY
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvigik5iZko
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7PqnJec9w
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV8oeQlNuu
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVfrBxcFMJ
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoQCE1e6NV
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28knJuBlm5
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBzLJHjAY
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF0jQutWiP
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKg4fevM5B
(Both men laugh.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfvNI8tu88
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjP1SOBZJn
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMQ2P4Fy8r
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMrdkzDTB0
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tih8QOc4z
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH1pp3V34o
(Butch whistles loudly.)
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSULPV9Qkf1
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylsmNfmc0u
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76SkxnvaJK
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCOJTNOpxT
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTns7KZos3y
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLU9Yvpb5i
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztE6fTmkf8
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1EMM1m9Aw
(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.)
