Major Hellstrom and the tavern scene


Do you think he knew the whole time that Hicox was lying or did he only figure it out after he ordered the drinks? Personally, I think he knew from the minute he heard his accent, and the "three glasses" only cemented his knowledge.
Thoughts?

I love that entire scene. Also when Aldo says you don't gotta be stonewall jackson to know not to fight in a basement! loll

Yeah I think he knew, and only let Hickox carry on the charade because he was getting off on pressing him and waiting for him to slip up.

Great scene, because there's a lot of subtext in it thanks to things like this.
