The three days run up, and Covington has still not cleared out, and Barkow sends Dorn to the ranch. Dorn takes cover among the trees using a sniper rifle. Anne rides to the ranch, and tells Covington that she believes him, and has had enough of Barkow. Just then, Dorn shoots and kills J.T. Anne rides back into town while Covington, Rock and Gill bury J.T. In town, Barkow forces Anne to marry him, therefore giving him control of the ranch.

[wikipedia] Rock Mullaney telling tall Irish tales by the campfire "A Frenchman, a German and an Irishman walk into a saloon and order whiskeys: the drinks arrive and there's a fly in each one. The Frenchman says: "MON DIEU! I can't drink this" and the German flicks the fly out of the whiskey and drinks it down. The Irishman grabs the fly, turns it upside down and says: "Shpit it out! SHPIT IT OUT!" T.J , Rafe and Rock arrive at a crossroads: Rock decides to head to the Montana goldmines. See you in Wyoming for Christmas goose, they promise. "May the apple of your eye see only good; and may God make smooth the path before ye'." Rock leaves the boys with an Irish blessing. Rock reconsiders and returns to Crazy Woman Ranch, because "...Charlie mattered more." Rock, J.T. and Joe Gill branding calves. Joe Gill and Rafe admire the view at Crazy Woman Ranch "God invented the whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world..." Rock [pulling a cow from a whole full of oil]: "G'wan up there, oh you dirty beast!" J.T.: "Maybe the dumb bastard thought it was water and wanted to have himself a bath." Rock [laughing]: "This isn't the only fine creature here that should be wantin' a bath!" Barkow hires Bo Dorn to rid the ranch of the boys. Kansas killer for hire Bo Dorn J.T.: "Well, maybe he's just passin' through..." Joe: "Nope. See he don't leave Kansas 'less he's on his way to kill somebody." Rock [to Rafe]: "I'm bettin' that somebody is you, Boss." "If it wasn't for Charlie on that boat, I'd have thrown myself overboard. He kept fightin', no matter what: he never gave up..neither will I." Rock makes his decision to stand and fight with the others. Secretly having a kip by the stream while he is supposed to be rounding up strays, Rock hears a shot fired on the ranch. Later, he will speak movingly over the grave of the one killed. Anne Rodney and Rafe hear the shot as well. He sends her away to protect her; unfortunately straight to Barkow who forces her to marry him. Mourning J.T. "'Til we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand." Rock saddled up for frontier justice. Barkow at the shootout Rock, Gene and Joe take aim at Barkow's boys in the saloon. "I've never had to fight my way into a saloon before!" Rock has lost his ever-present knit cap in the fighting. Take that ! Gene and Joe have been wounded and so Rock has had enough and takes out Barkow's last man. He keeps firing even when he is out of bullets. The price tag still dangles from the brand new rifle. Melissa tends Gene after the shooting is over. "I did something Melissa," he says hopefully. "Yes, you did, Gene," she answers proudly. LINES TO REMEMBER: Upon seeing the ship's Captain beaten unconscious by Rafe [admiringly]: "That'll do it, eh? Munity..." Eyeing the way J.T. is admiring his new shirt: "You're turned out like a rooster for the harvest fair." Entering the cabin on his return to the ranch and having Rafe, Joe and J.T. draw their guns on him: "Is it Christmas yet?" Explaining his return to the ranch: "Maybe rich stopped matterin'; maybe Charlie mattered more... [looking warily at the food J.T. cooked] ...maybe this gourmet cookin' appealed to me." Introducing himself to Joe Gill, hand outstretched: "Brendan Mullaney; 'Rock' to me mates." Waiting for Joe's next move while playing chess: "Were it not for your soft breathing...I would have thought that you had expired!" To bartender Pee-wee: "Another wee dram!" Riding up at breakneck speed only to find J.T. murdered.: "NOOOOOOoooo!" [echoed through the mountains] Crossfire Trail was filmed on location in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Notes of Interest ATLANTA--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2001 TNT Original Crossfire Trail Rides in as Number-One Motion Picture in Basic Cable History. Premiere of Western Starring Tom Selleck Posts 9.6 Rating/13.2 Share, Delivers 7.7 Million Households Turner Network Television's (TNT) premiere of its newest Original motion picture, Crossfire Trail, on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 8 p.m. posted a stellar 9.6 rating/13.2 share (7,736,000 households), making it the highest-rated and most-watched movie - original or theatrical - in the history of basic cable television. Review from ROTTEN TOMATOES site: There are unmistakable pleasures to an old-fashioned Western, and Crossfire Trail has 'em. Tom Selleck has a lean, weathered face that sits nicely atop a horse and beneath a broad-brimmed hat; he plays a canny cowboy who's come to make good on a promise to a dying man and ends up caught between a beautiful woman (Virginia Madsen) and a wicked man in black--a couple of them, actually. Crossfire Trail has just about every element you could ask for (a Sioux war party, a cruel hired gun, a shootout in the street, even a cattle stampede), but it spins them out with such clean efficiency that you can't help but enjoy it. Directed skillfully and with heart, Crossfire Trail will satisfy any Western fan. Based on the novel by Louis L'Amour; also featuring Wilford Brimley, David O'Hara and Mark Harmon. --Bret Fetzer <embed align="left" allowfullscreen="true" height="229" src="http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/thetudorswiki/widget/youtubevideo/c3296a29aeaebe12dd38e81a4192d2c125dc0888" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="279" wmode="transparent"/> <embed align="bottom" allowfullscreen="true" height="223" src="http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/thetudorswiki/widget/youtubevideo/d857eb6de8bd485636e660a298babe40c767c8c1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="271" wmode="transparent"/>
