Llewelyn retrieves the money and calls Wells, but it's Chigurh who answers the phone. But face Chigurh he does, and he's killed.

Actually, he's willing to do basically anything to keep from having to face Chigurh. Wells has been hired to retrieve the money, too, but he isn't a maniac like Chigurh. While Llewelyn is in Mexico, he is visited by a man named Wells. Llewelyn limps across the border to a hospital in Mexico-hiding the money in a riverbank along the way-and Chigurh retreats to a motel to bandage himself and recover. In one violent altercation, both Chigurh and Llewelyn are wounded. He's kind of a one-man army, and this human Terminator is determined to hasta la vista Llewelyn and get the money back at any cost.Ĭhigurh tracks and pursues Llewelyn through a handful of no-tell motels, and a few shootouts occur in the process. Chigurh works for one set of drug runners. He chokes the deputy to death with his own handcuff chain and escapes. Meanwhile, a criminal named Anton Chigurh is arrested. If someone stole $2.4 million of your dollars, would you ever stop chasing him? Didn't think so. He realizes that these guys will be able to identify him from his vehicle, so he tells his wife to stay with her mother, and he too makes a run for it. They shoot at Llewelyn, who abandons his truck and runs.

Drug runners have finished off the thirsty man, and they're still lurking in the area. How compassionate.Ĭompassion turns out to be a mistake.

Llewelyn takes the money home to his wife, Carla Jean, but he returns to the scene of the crime later that night with a jug of water. The man asks for agua, but Llewelyn has no water to give. (Hey, it's the 80s.) Llewelyn takes the money and finds one wounded drug runner still alive. It seems a drug deal went wrong, and everyone died, leaving behind the drugs and the money-$2.4 million to be exact. He's out hunting antelope in the desert, but something else catches his eye: human corpses and abandoned vehicles. And an old sheriff sits around talking about how gosh-dern old he is. An arrested man violently kills a deputy and escapes. A Vietnam War vet finds a sack of drug money in the desert.
