Be damned

But Collet would be damned if Fache's ego landed him in front of a Ministerial Review Board for negligent police procedure.
A weapon was discharged inside a private home! And you waited at the bottom of the driveway?

I don't quite understand the meaning of damned and land. Could you please explain it? Thank you.
