The narrative moves to Wells as he examines the bridge that crosses the river into Mexico. He then he goes back to the lobby to wait for Wells.
Wells comes in at Chigurh wraps his shotgun in a newspaper, and follows him upstairs Chigurh tells Wells getting shot by Moss changed his perspective.

Home About Story Contact Help. Chigurh saw these people as an unnecessary inconvenience and so he eliminated them as they were encountered, starting with the managerials out in the desert at night. The last straw for Chigurh is when he finds that Wells has been hired to kill him.
Interestingly, after killing The Man Who Hired Wells, Chigurh only mentions that a transponder was given to the Mexicans from Moss' first motel room and nothing about the fact that somebody had been hired to kill him.
When the accountant explains why the Mexicans also received a transponder, Chigurh says, "That's foolish. You pick the one right tool," implying that The Man Who Hired Wells had brought this on himself by tasking others with finding the money, instead of relying on Chigurh alone. Despite his reasons given, it is likely that the main reason that Chigurh decided to kill The Man Who Hired Wells had to do with the fact that he hired Wells. Chigurh, while psychotic, has principles.
Out of all the possible reasons as to why Chigurh killed the two managerials in the desert, if it was simply because he found them to be an inconvenience and not because he was double crossing his employer, The Man Who Hires Wells may not have been killed by Chigurh.
That is to say that if the Man Who Hired Wells didn't take the killing of two of his men as a double cross and, in turn, did not give the Mexicans a receiver or hire Wells, and instead let Chigurh finish his job, it is possible Chigurh would have completed his task and given back the money to his respective employer.
It is left ambiguous as to whether or not Chigurh killed The Accountant. When the accountant asks if Chigurh is going to shoot him, Chigurh replies by saying, "That depends. Do you see me? The script has the accountant answering Chigurh's question with a, "No," the scene then changed which would imply that he lives. Llewelyn Moss goes to the motel and waits to be reunited with Carla Jean and Agnes her mother.
While waiting, the poolside woman Ana Reeder flirts with him and offers him beers. What happens next can be seen as ambiguous, the first option is that the Mexicans knew where he was headed because Agnes had told them at the bus station. During the ensuing shootout, the poolside woman was killed and her body was found in the pool. Moss was able to shoot one of the Mexicans before he was shot in the chest and died inside his motel room.
The remaining Mexicans ran off as Sheriff Bell pulled into the parking lot. The second option is that Bell actually comes across a shoot out between the Mexicans and Chigurh who has already killed Moss and the poolside woman.
The evidence for this is circumstancial at best, The Mexicans are using machine guns which we hear, one of the Mexicans has been shot by either Llewelyn or Chigurh but we don't hear this. The machine gun casings are a considerable distance from the shot Mexican, why would the Mexicans be shooting towards their own man?
There are no bullet holes observed in Llewelyns room or in the wall surrounding the door. Agnes Beth Grant died of her cancer.
It is implied that Chigurh killed Carla Jean. After she refuses to call the coin toss, Chigurh is seen leaving her house and checking his boots, presumably to make sure he doesn't have any blood on them.
In an earlier scene, Chigurh, after shooting Carson Wells, sees the blood coming down the floor and puts his feet on the bed, to avoid getting blood on his boots.
In the book, she does eventually call the coin toss and when it is incorrect, he shoots her. When he kills all the Mexicans in the hotel room, he does so wearing white socks, which he the takes off and leaves behind. Also, when the Mexicans drive away following the death of Llewelyn, we hear a sound very similar to the sound we hear when Chigurh exits Carla Jean's house: the sound of the bikes the two boys are riding. The Coens could have used this sound as a director's trick to make us believe she met the same fate as Llewelyn.
After meeting with Carla Jean, Chigurh got in a serious car accident, with a compound fracture of his forearm. A couple of teenagers Josh Blaylock and Caleb Landry Jones on bikes approach him, asking if he's okay he clearly isn't, having several cuts on him and an injured eye.
He pays one of the kids for his shirt so he can make a sling for his arm, gets to his feet and flees the scene of the accident. Whether he died or not is up for the viewer's interpretation. With an injury like that, he would likely have died without medical attention. That being said, he is seen to tend to his own gunshot wound earlier in the film, but the idea of him setting his own broken bone is unlikely you need someone else to apply lateral force to get the bones to re-align.
The book also leaves this to interpretation. It may be possible he has access to a "back alley" doctor or at least knows where to find one. Chigurh believes in the random nature of fate, and that is what happens to him at the end.
The killing of Carla Jean is unnecessary if he has the money. It only keeps the promise he made to the now-dead Moss. So, the car running into him is "instant karma' for his lack of "principle". Although it is left open for interpretation, it is implied that Anton Chigurh wound up with the money. After the police activity died down, Chigurh sneaked into Moss' room and unscrewed the vent to retrieve the satchel of money.
He knew this is where the money would be because he saw the track marks inside the vent of the Del Rio motel room, and knew that Moss kept it in the vent. When Sheriff Bell arrives at the El Paso motel, he sees that the vent was unscrewed by a coin, which Chigurh used in the previous motel.
However, a shot of the vent in the El Paso motel shows that the vent may be too small to have accommodated the case containing the money. But, after Chigurh is involved in the car accident at the end, he offers the bicycle boys a hundred dollar bill, which implies that he did wind up with the money. In the book, Chigurh found the money and returned it to a third party. Like Wells said, he did have his principles! Sign In. No Country for Old Men Jump to: FAQs 16 Spoilers Did the Coen brother film the final action scene even though it wasn't in the film?
I forgot the name of a movie like this in which two cops chasing a criminal ended up in a bar where everyone turns into monster and kill everyone. Is 'No Country for Old Men' based on a book? Chigurh brutally murders the Mexicans one of them begged Chigurh not to kill him, only for him to shoot him anyway and searches for the money, but it is nowhere to be found.
Chigurh finds out about a bounty hunter named Carson Wells who, like Chigurh, has been hired to retrieve the bag of money. Chigurh kills Wells after Wells tries to make a deal with Moss. Chigurh ruthlessly tracks Moss down until Moss is eventually killed by Mexican gangsters at another motel. Once again Moss hid the money in the vents, which was unseen by the Mexicans at the time of their ambush of Moss.
However after his experience with Moss before, Chigurh knows where the money will be. He arrives at the scene of the crime after the police have left, retrieves the money from the vent and returns it to his employers. Near the end, Chigurh pays a visit to Moss' grieving widow and debates whether or not to kill her, relying on a coin toss.
After leaving her house, Chigurh is involved in a car crash, leaving him badly injured with a compound fracture of his left ulna and walking with a limp. He then offers money to a teenager on a bicycle to give him his T-shirt.
He and the teenager create a sling for his injured arm and Chigurh leaves the scene before the ambulance arrives.

While he is not killing at random or without any purpose, his reasons sometimes can be abstract.
His personal hobby is more than only killing people or wreaking havoc is to decide people's fate. He sees in himself as sort of a hand of a fate, and as a special instrument which exacts what is supposed to happen upon those which he see accountable.
He gives his various victims he encounters a great chance to survive by making deals, either personally or rather by his own most favorite way; flipping coins, as he always say " What it is the most you ever loss on a coin toss? In the novel, Chigurh is depicted as a man of great endurance, capable of withstanding the pain of a fractured arm and multiple gunshot wounds, among others.
In the film, Anton kills or attempts to kill nearly every person as he meets. The only people he spares are the gas station proprietor who correctly guesses his coin flip or the woman at the very trailer park just as Chigurh hears a toilet flush, the woman at the front desk of the hotel, and the two bicycle riding kids who give him one of their shirts after Chigurh's car accident.
To separate the act from the thing. As if parts of some moment in history might be interchangeable with the parts of some other moment. How could that be? Is it? I dont think I even understood that.
