EXT. FORT BLOOD - MID MORNING
616Please respect copyright.PENANAkHi7TANMtW
616Please respect copyright.PENANAVC7WQqRQbT
(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.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANADvF78PUq6m
616Please respect copyright.PENANAy3x60bhmd7
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAjcNCDVl7GH
616Please respect copyright.PENANALwJoMWwzR4
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAYDQp0xil4a
616Please respect copyright.PENANAmiZteaEZFf
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAPWugiNr5kZ
616Please respect copyright.PENANALQPthy6anc
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA9VoMmhvEsn
616Please respect copyright.PENANAKfoKlbLj3Z
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANATVMfaKBoaf
616Please respect copyright.PENANApLy593KMia
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCCWCFT4U
616Please respect copyright.PENANAMEAxDexTbN
(Both men laugh.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANAtaNMMISpYE
616Please respect copyright.PENANAafUbCByGp4
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAN1FKF4f1Rq
616Please respect copyright.PENANAXGtw5mTEus
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAnO0j3tOgVs
616Please respect copyright.PENANAoYq9qveIKc
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?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAwE4l7WLcjY
616Please respect copyright.PENANAkraQMoKOE9
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAVu3c23cFJ7
616Please respect copyright.PENANAMhcchYUpOF
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA7wFidD9dDq
616Please respect copyright.PENANAJhUFcvaRK0
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA6QU4pCkAZ7
616Please respect copyright.PENANAQFYibVQ6Ta
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAQnqBpq5HKB
616Please respect copyright.PENANANvKFRb3DqM
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAWH4N6LkeiV
616Please respect copyright.PENANATfsl7zp762
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAHmLDKFPink
616Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ho6L1KFN
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAyPZZejfLhW
616Please respect copyright.PENANAUTK6AJQ8jC
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
616Please respect copyright.PENANATdo6adMMpw
616Please respect copyright.PENANAmbLnn1uNMG
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAMMxIKlAN8j
616Please respect copyright.PENANAM2IIMHfq1m
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAOjkI68WR2y
616Please respect copyright.PENANAyNzLhz2OHi
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAYwph1oX71P
616Please respect copyright.PENANAwtqTlBtBkE
(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.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANAB5lbzbXmz5
616Please respect copyright.PENANAm1zJKOZwlX
BUTCH
What's this?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAyULLRwiRk7
616Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Z8oiYam3
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAgGRXiAdZGy
616Please respect copyright.PENANA4Aedxq6TCA
(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.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANAHTMySyFK1J
616Please respect copyright.PENANAGIWUTbyFcw
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAuR9EbyuPna
616Please respect copyright.PENANAwsr1DJGH7s
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
616Please respect copyright.PENANASXzH8bSEa6
616Please respect copyright.PENANALqNQimtOS4
(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.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANAikpk4LTxl2
616Please respect copyright.PENANAZPDduoz11r
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
616Please respect copyright.PENANA2rKqeqNKTE
616Please respect copyright.PENANAC2hnGO159f
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAFwLNMOgM2k
616Please respect copyright.PENANA7YAbXiTlsb
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!
616Please respect copyright.PENANAe89SztSoS3
616Please respect copyright.PENANAixuRLjYbSS
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAZkZnTx1Lyr
616Please respect copyright.PENANA5VUIp1ObRm
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAaT4tE5i77l
616Please respect copyright.PENANAnYikLeDMCr
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAkL1c9i0vaG
616Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ5qrxzwUV
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAEUXHHRT6kd
616Please respect copyright.PENANA2ofrlfEs3r
(The two shake hands. )
616Please respect copyright.PENANAsZGfY2fQii
616Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6pwWmad0R
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAUantdMLK7v
616Please respect copyright.PENANA789p8hd4Te
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kg1CrDIvr
616Please respect copyright.PENANA9r53oTbBMn
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAljzdCTB77k
616Please respect copyright.PENANA7mQ61KWAmZ
BUTCH
How so?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAC2iCeeD7pB
616Please respect copyright.PENANAUd7tJaNoYm
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAQh7UlIvEWX
616Please respect copyright.PENANAEoNrMVV4BR
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAVzpQlkJumb
616Please respect copyright.PENANAoN3KBcnV3c
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q9CMx6QCs
616Please respect copyright.PENANAlz4OxIyqxX
BUTCH
They sure?
616Please respect copyright.PENANANzToncJFRM
616Please respect copyright.PENANAb5VpJ6GvrV
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ8YaY5xE5
616Please respect copyright.PENANAoAPrbqXjDf
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4UJf2u4Y
616Please respect copyright.PENANAyky9AWBvuF
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAXZtFbIIwHk
616Please respect copyright.PENANAZxthtsrhbG
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAaUpwYIUyF2
616Please respect copyright.PENANA4WFSe8eCOi
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAoKfADwQyLy
616Please respect copyright.PENANA1jmWxtRNID
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAMmfUPQweZN
616Please respect copyright.PENANAO9lZKK7XFh
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
616Please respect copyright.PENANARNnY3mzVKW
616Please respect copyright.PENANA8VUchngqmI
BUTCH
And the other favor?
616Please respect copyright.PENANA3EK8WgSnNo
616Please respect copyright.PENANApLVPoiBj7F
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAa2A5hbBj2L
616Please respect copyright.PENANAbKLA3K2U73
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
616Please respect copyright.PENANAdzqyBkASme
616Please respect copyright.PENANAPAtlodkjkn
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA49pIMDODix
616Please respect copyright.PENANAaCWjf33jgy
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAij7W78hrgl
616Please respect copyright.PENANAPdQnSHv3kW
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAntk69pWPWA
616Please respect copyright.PENANAUKgn13xtCs
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
616Please respect copyright.PENANABbgH1XoUa5
616Please respect copyright.PENANArmx0Tf6PGc
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAn3zlYQes9y
616Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9MiLwgnsN
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAl1twpkJEtg
616Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Cenx4bLN
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA557bMVXgeS
616Please respect copyright.PENANAfiXynrw3Gp
(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.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANAm0nXcVz0q1
616Please respect copyright.PENANAJpOsUAyxnf
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA9K9UzCKjg3
616Please respect copyright.PENANAVdsQ03gp9k
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAoDl8gSgqEN
616Please respect copyright.PENANAPDlzys2HAd
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAdYA0Oprcss
616Please respect copyright.PENANA2VRdJDxZ9w
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA4UIdmLYzQs
616Please respect copyright.PENANAdPmw7rv1Fj
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
616Please respect copyright.PENANAbxpEXuIQTK
616Please respect copyright.PENANAYz5BSyFhLp
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAJvF7MrSLye
616Please respect copyright.PENANAZsGK38oCsR
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.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAiQDhnL84Rb
616Please respect copyright.PENANAgUnUFyL9iL
(Both men laugh.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANA5U3yBukOg0
616Please respect copyright.PENANAzOB8XNLvNw
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
616Please respect copyright.PENANA1U23gw6ANd
616Please respect copyright.PENANAohetWNEpKH
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAGZvcJcGpBw
616Please respect copyright.PENANAErDxX2khCq
(Butch whistles loudly.)
616Please respect copyright.PENANA9HLjSpz6XQ
616Please respect copyright.PENANA1yClvCqhRZ
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
616Please respect copyright.PENANAsrIZ7R79w2
616Please respect copyright.PENANAPbZkgNHiAP
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAFr2IssZsnC
616Please respect copyright.PENANAQwmmLbc4tP
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
616Please respect copyright.PENANAgcv79oraB6
616Please respect copyright.PENANAWgBWrJiWwy
(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.)
