Best Served Cold: Mitch Barrett cooks up a revenge scheme to ruin the town of Blue Springs, and to kill the three men he holds directly responsible for the death of his wife, that takes more than a year to come to fruition and involves him becoming sheriff and a respected member of the community. | |

| One Foot in Hell / int_559b4bb3 | comment |
Call to Agriculture: Mitch plants the idea of buying back and rebuilding his family farm in Dan's brain to persuade him to agree to the robbery. The idea grows and becomes Dan's driving goal, allowing him to sober up, and he persuades Julie to share the dream with him. At the end of the film, they are still planning on doing this after they get out of prison. | |

Spanner in the Works: Mitch's plan to kill Dan and Julie probably would have worked if Dan hadn't disobeyed Mitch's orders and gone to town to tell Mitch that he and Julie had fallen in love. Because of this, he is at the sheriff's office when the Posse arrives back with the bodies of Stu and Ivers and immediately realises that Mitch has double-crossed them. | |

He comes to aid Ellie in the middle of the night without question and without thought of payment, and does his best to save her. Tellingly, he is not not one of the townsfolk Mitch blames for her death. | |

His Name Is...: After he tricks Stu into being shot by the Posse, Mitch is alarmed when someone announces that he is still alive. As sheriff, Mitch pushes his way to the front and pretends to listen to Stu's dying words. Actually, he only does it to make sure no one in the posse is close enough to her what Stu says, which would have been a denunciation of him. | |
