My first thought was that it was likely blood spilling out (that had been consumed). A dark and appropriately unsettling thought.

I wondered if there was a connection to the drunk in the cell as well.  As for the guy in the cell, does anyone know what's in his nose?  I know there was some talk about it maybe being Billy (not sure of that myself) bleeding from the nose and mouth, could that be something to stop a nose bleed?

I am watching again and notice the woodsman sitting down that Mister C tells he is there to see Phillip Jeffries is bleeding from the mouth.  Coincidence or some link to the guy in the cell?

Is it blood or scorched oil? Incidentally, the fluid running from the mouth of the drunk is also dark brown.
