Oooh, I loved that now that Sam has come to terms with what he wants from Gene, Gene chickens out by way of the bottle. It's so exactly what he would do.
A half-smile flitted over Sam's face. "Maybe I'll just have to teach you a different way to relieve that aggression, Guv. A different kind of pounding someone into the ground."
Guh. That's all I've got to say on this score. ;)
I also liked that Gene didn't agree to pull in the usual suspects. Because it's not about beating confessions out of random people, it's about following his guts. That's the whole point, after all. Sam and Gene aren't good cop/bad cop or nice cop/let's-rough-'em-up-for-the-hell-of-it cop, they're the complimentary qualities of intellect and instinct, which is why Sam needs Gene so badly.
