If someone stole $2.4 million of your dollars, would you ever stop chasing him? Didn't think so. He realizes that these guys will be able to identify him from his vehicle, so he tells his wife to stay with her mother, and he too makes a run for it. They shoot at Llewelyn, who abandons his truck and runs. Drug runners have finished off the thirsty man, and they're still lurking in the area. How compassionate.Ĭompassion turns out to be a mistake.


Llewelyn takes the money home to his wife, Carla Jean, but he returns to the scene of the crime later that night with a jug of water. The man asks for agua, but Llewelyn has no water to give. (Hey, it's the 80s.) Llewelyn takes the money and finds one wounded drug runner still alive. It seems a drug deal went wrong, and everyone died, leaving behind the drugs and the money-$2.4 million to be exact. He's out hunting antelope in the desert, but something else catches his eye: human corpses and abandoned vehicles. And an old sheriff sits around talking about how gosh-dern old he is.

An arrested man violently kills a deputy and escapes. A Vietnam War vet finds a sack of drug money in the desert.
