hmmm, I saw it so long ago it's hard to remember the details. I think they went their separate ways and the hunt was over, and maybe...damn. Nope, I have NO idea!

Here’s an alternative ending – the one that should have been filmed: Moss gets to the motel in El Paso. Just as he checks in he notices the clerk is nervous and stuff. So Moss is totally aware something is about to go down. Moss plays it cool though, goes to his room and closes the door behind him. The Mexican drug dealers burst through the door, guns a blazing and swearing up a storm in Spanish. But Moss isn’t there. The Mexican bad guys are confused. There is no back door to the motel room and they’ve been watching the front door. Where is Moss? Well, he’s suspended above them. He had wedged himself into an alcove waiting their arrival. Now here’s the cool part. Just as the camera pans out to show us where Moss is waiting to attack from, we go into a flashback. Moss is back in the jungles of Nam where it turns out he was a badass special ops commando who was specially trained by the greatest Kung Fu masters of the era. We see Moss in Nam dropping down from the trees on a bunch of gooks and taking them all out. Then all of a sudden we are back in the motel room. Moss drops down on the Mexicans and takes them all on without the aid of gun. In one memorable scene, Moss breaks the ribs of one of the bad guys, takes the broken bone out of his chest and then uses it to stab the man in the throat. Moss gets out of there after he’s killed all the Mexicans. But he returns that night to pick up the money which he has left in the vent. As he is getting the money, Chigura shows up. By the time Chigura enters the room, Moss has disappeared. Chigura starts working on the vent. He gets the grate off with a coin. But just when he looks in the vent, there is Moss. Somehow Moss has slithered into the vent and is laying on his stomach, shotgun in hand, waiting for Chigura. Moss says “You looking for something Bub” And then pulls the trigger blowing the top of Chigura’s head off. Fast forward 4 weeks. Moss and his wife bury Moss’s mother in law. They go home. They go into their room and Chigura is sitting there – his face and head a mangle of rotting skin, old bandages and dried blood. Moss tries to bargain for his life. But Chigura is determined to kill him. But Chigura says he might spare Moss's wife. So Chigura flips a coin and tells Moss to call it. Moss ponders this for a second, then says: “I call you, asshole” Chigura looks confused. Just then, a booby-trap spike made out of bamboo comes screaming out the closet and impales Chigura – killing him for good. Moss was waiting for Chigura. The booby-trap was just another trick he picked up from the gooks in Nam. Oh, and by the way. It turns out the Sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) was Chigura’s dad and that’s why he quit the force. He could have taken Chigura out, but he loved his son and couldn’t do it.

I remember him driving away, leaving me not knowing what was going on.

The creepy guy kept killing people, and got away because the sheriff lost the will to fight and quit. I'd have to watch it again to see how it all fits together. On the first viewing, it was pretty disappointing, but I think it might make more sense the next time around.
