- Now we meet Sheriff Ed Tom Bell face-to-face for the first time. He's loading a horse into a trailer (seems appropriately Texan) and getting ready to head to work.
- Ed Tom meets his deputy on the shoulder of a desert road where we see a burned out car. The car belonged to a man who was found shot in the head on the side of the highway, and we gather that they're talking about the innocent driver Anton Chigurh killed earlier in the movie.
- They follow the car's tracks back into the desert on horseback, where they find Llewellyn Moss's truck with the inspection plate pried off.
- Sheriff Bell recognizes the truck as Moss's, and the truck leads them back to the scene of the botched drug deal, where they find all the dead bodies. They realize that the two men Chigurh killed were killed much more recently than the other bodies.
- But if there are so many people lying dead, where'd the money go? Hmmmm.
