After going down the stairs, the three of them found themselves in some kind of dungeon at a balcony overlooking a bloodstained torture room with some cells. Rulindil, the torturer, could be seen seated at the desk, while a Thalmor Soldier tortured someone and Rulindil asked a series of questions:

Etienne: "Stop. Please. I don't know anything else. Don't you think I'd have told you already?"

Soldier: "Silence. You know the rules. Do not speak unless spoken to. Master Rulindil will ask the questions."

Rulindil: "Let's begin again."

Etienne: "No... for pity's sake... I've already told you everything..."

Rulindil: "You know the rules."

Etienne: "Noooooo!!!"

Rulindil: "Start at the beginning, as usual. If you persist in this stubbornness I'll have..."

Etienne: "No, wait! I was just... catching my breath... why wouldn't I tell you again? I don't even know anything... There's an old man. He lives in Riften. He could be this Esbern you're looking for, but I don't know. He's old and seemed kind of crazy. That's all I know."

Rulindil: "And his name is...?"

Etienne: "I don't know his name. Like I've told already a hundred- Ahhhh!"

Rulindil: "You know the rules. Just answer the questions. And where can we find this nameless old man?"

Etienne: "Like I said, I don't know! I've seen him down in the Ratway. Maybe he lives down there, but I don't know for sure."

Rulindil: "That will be all for now. I must say I continue to be disappointed in your lack of cooperation. I hope next time you will do better."

Etienne: "What else do you want from me? I've already told you everything. Listen, if you let me go I can take you to Riften, show you where- Gaaaaah!!!"

Soldier: "Silence, prisoner!"

With the last punch, the prisioner lost consciousness and the Thalmor Soldier started to patroll the area. Rulindil, on the other hand, kept writing something, sitted in his desk.
