The end is near for Jericho Or is it? Although fans rallied to save the end-of-the-world drama from the clutches of cancellation last season, the CBS series may one again require a postapocalyptic miracle to survive. "We've shot two separate endings and one's more final than the other," says Skeet Ulrich, who plays sheriff Jake Green. CBS isn't saying which ending they'll go for tonight, but either one should make for riveting viewing. Says Ulrich, "We want to give the fans a finale that pays them back in a big way." All season, the townspeople of Jericho have been adjusting to leadership out of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Through it all, they put their faith in Jake to maintain a sense of calm--even as he was occasionally getting his butt kicked. "My least favorite part of this role was torturing Skeet," says Esai Morales, who play Colonel Beck, the honcho charged with turning Jericho around. "Skeet's such a good guy, and here I am having to go Guantanamo on his ass!" The finale will put Jake through the ringer yet again, as he teams up with Hawkins (Lennie James) to retrieve the bomb the Cheyenne government took from Texas. "The big question, " says coexecutive producer Dan Shotz, "will be whether Jake and Hawkins can make it out of Cheyenne with the bomb and with their lives."
