Dank, scary torture/interrogation room. Sam is being advised not to "try to play tough guy." The camera pans past various piles of garbage and crap until we can see Sam, naked and sitting in a chair, getting clouted in the head as Sergei orders, "Talk to me!" Sam cries and (I think) barfs. He doesn't say anything, though, and Sergei hits him again, hard enough this time to knock him off his seat. He orders a henchman to pick Sam up, as Sam cries and protests and gasps. Once he's sitting again, Sergei demands that Sam "talk about the girls," but Sam babbles, "No girls, nothing. No English." Sergei pulls his hair to get him to look up, and asks why he ran; Sam replies in some unsubtitled language I certainly don't understand; it's neither French nor Pig Latin.
At this point, we cut to a doorway; there's a puddle of water, into which a cigarette is tossed, and then we hear Spiros briefing another guy on what they're about to walk into, saying that Sergei thinks Sam "looks like an Arab." As they walk toward the torture scene, the camera pans from their feet only as far up as their torsos...
...and then we get a shot, again, of naked Sam, from behind, and see that Spiros's companion is that old dude who's always hanging around the diner. Holy shit, that dumpy old coot is The Greek?! ...Okay, I knew that this time. But it took me this long the first time I watched Season 2. The Greek advances on Sam's chair, watching the man carefully as Sergei dismissively declares, "He don't know nothing." "But you kept hitting him anyway," says The Greek accusatorily. Oh, hello, Good Cop. Sergei spreads his hands, like, "Does a bear shit in the woods? Sergei assaults in a dingy warehouse." The Greek orders Sergei to get Sam's clothes, and offers Sam a cigarette, from which he cowers. The Greek says he's going to have one, and lights it as Sam coughs and sort of sobs a little.
