No Country for Old Men Scene 26 Summary

  • We rejoin Anton Chigurh, who's sitting in his car and using a shirt and some cotton balls to make a wick of some kind. He puts the wick into the gas tank of a car on the street and lights the thing before walking into a pharmacy.
  • When the car explodes, Chigurh uses the ensuing panic to steal a bunch of stuff from behind the store's prescription counter.
  • Next time we see Chigurh, he's laying out some plastic sheeting in a motel room and getting ready to give himself some impromptu surgery for a bad shotgun wound he has in his leg. He gives himself some kind of painkiller and gets to work. This guy is more stone cold than Steve Austin.
