Heard this on a Spanish show

Hello,


I got these sentence a from a Spanish show dubbed in English.


Could you please tell me if these sentences are natural?


The first sentence is the one from the show. Is it correct? Is the second the same?

1 I've only known one guy who I've never seen feel any pain.


2 I've only known one guy who doesn't feel any pain.


The show uses “are bleeding”. Shouldn’t it be “bleed”?

You'll do it until your hands bleed/are bleeding.


Is this clause natural? The use of “when” after “in which”, what do you think?

....a dark tunnel in which you don't know when you are going to get killed.


The show uses “limited to”. Is that natural or would “within” be better?

Triangulate the signal (limited to/only within) the suspect's area of activity.


Thanks

They're not the same. Not feeling pain is not the same as not being seen to feel pain. Maybe he felt pain while no one was looking.
