Producers initially shot two endings—one a cliffhanger, one more of an open-ended wrap-up, at the request of CBS, which was still undecided on the future of the show beyond the second season. [1] On March 20, 2008, CBS notified the show's producers that they would not renew the show, and that they would show the wrap-up version. [2] According to producer Jon Steinberg, the version with the cliffhanger ending will appear on the season two DVD set, and may also be made available for viewing on CBS' website. [3]
In the alternate ending, Jake and Hawkins arrive at an airport, Jake gets on the plane but Hawkins sacrifice himself to blow up the tower, and is caught by ASA troops and taken prisoner, to Lumeridge Prison in Colorado. [4] Upon arriving in Texas, Jake is greeted by Governor Todd (a woman) and Chavez, who deduces Hawkins' whereabouts. Jake boards the plane and leaves "To get my friend!"
The title of the episode alludes to a quotation from Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787. The letter reads in part, "What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is its natural manure." [5]

"Who shot J.R.?" is an advertising catchphrase created in 1980 by American network CBS to promote the television soap opera Dallas. It referred to the fictional mystery surrounding a murder attempt against arch-villain J.R. Ewing in the show's third-season finale "A House Divided". The mystery and its catchphrase became a global phenomenon, with international odds-makers setting odds for the culprit. The mystery was not resolved until the fourth episode of the fourth season titled "Who Done It" which aired eight months later, with an estimated 83 million American viewers tuning in, one of the most watched television broadcasts in history. The catchphrase has a strong legacy in pop culture and the format helped popularize the cliffhanger ending for television series.
