Russell nods again, because that makes the most sense. If the blow to the head had been enough to put Patrick down, there would have been no reason to use the screwdriver and that's the part the other cops keep talking about, the little bit of this story that's circulating almost like a rumour. He's got a screwdriver in his head. And although Russell hasn't seen it for himself, he certainly believes it. More than that, he wants it to be true. He wants to know there's a screwdriver in that man's head, that he died in a lot of pain, maybe surprised and angry that she'd gotten the best of him. Russell hopes Bateman's death was hard and cruel and difficult.
