He's wondering what it's going to take for this to be over, because Sam looks like he wants to keep going, trying to find a new way in on him. He respects that, so he'll oblige as long as he wants, but at some point he's going to want to go back home and just lie down with the pain.
He cocks his head at the bartender's voice, not taking his eyes off of Sam. That would be stupid. ]
I don't think he needs arresting. [ He calls back, casually, like he doesn't have the power to play with people's lives. He has every single reason to arrest him now, but if he did, then that would be boring. Anticlimactic. And this is Nate's cousin, he respects Nate; hell, Sam gave him the most he's had to do in years. Sam deserves better than that.
He looks at the way Sam falters, the way his head is busted up, settles to clap him good-naturedly on the shoulder. ] You hear that? Think your time in here's over. Should probably get going.
