No Country for Old Men Scene 32 Summary

  • Llewellyn Moss arrives at the border booth while trying to cross back into the U.S. The border guard wants to know how Moss is coming from Mexico in nothing but hospital clothes. He then asks Moss if he's in the army, and Moss answers that he's a veteran of the Vietnam War.
  • Once the border guard realizes Moss is telling the truth, he immediately asks another border worker to give Moss a ride into town and help him anyway possible. Turns out that this guy has some mad respect for America's veterans.
  • Moss heads into the same store where he bought his boots and buys a new set of clothes. Then he heads back down to the riverbank to retrieve his briefcase full of money.
  • Next, we see Moss on a payphone talking to his mother-in-law and asking to speak to Carla Jean.
  • Moss asks Carla Jean to meet him at a hotel in El Paso so he can give her the money and put her on a plane out of Chigurh's reach. With that done, he's going to hunt down Chigurh. Sounds like a plan.
