No Country for Old Men Scene 18 Summary

  • Sheriff Bell is sitting down for his breakfast in a diner, when deputy walks in and tells him that the body they found by the side of the road earlier in the movie had no bullet in his head. Whaa?
  • Does not compute, says Sheriff Bell. There was an entry wound in the dead man's forehead and no exit wound in the back, so there must be a bullet somewhere.
  • What he and the deputy don't realize is that Chigurh killed the man using a steer-killing device (i.e. that weird tank and hose he's been carrying around). Ouch.
  • The deputy asks Bell if he's heading back to the site of the botched drug bust to help the FBI, but Bell is so not in the mood
