How It All Goes Down
- Bell pays a visit to Llewelyn's father, who tells Bell that Llewelyn was a sniper in 'Nam.
- "He was not in no drug deals" (11.1.5), Papa Moss says.
- Pops says that Llewelyn was in bad shape after the war because no one respected the Vietnam War veterans.
- But Pops believes it wasn't Vietnam that hurt the country. The country was already in bad shape, he says. 'Nam was just the icing on the crappy cake.
- Bell returns home, trying to make sense of everything—but he can't. How can anyone make sense of all this chaos?
- Bell feels old and tells his wife he wants to retire.
- Bell tells us one more thing: it seems a Mexican man confessed to the crime of shooting a man, putting him in the trunk of a car, and setting the car on fire.
- Bell believes the Mexican man didn't do it. He thinks the crazy man (that's Chigurh, but Bell has never learned Chigurh's name) did it.
- Bell testifies, but the Mexican man still gets the death penalty.
- Seems like Chigurh's job is working out okay. For him.
- Bell goes home and feels like everything's all his fault.
- Bell gets home, and his wife isn't there.
- Don't worry, Bell's wife's not dead. Bell gets on his horse and finds her out in the fields.
- The Bells have a sweet little moment and watch the sunset.
