In fact from the very beginning to the end, Tupolski apears to get worse to Ariel as the play goes on, in the beginning Ariel is put in his place many times by Tupolski, for example Tupolski reminds Ariel that he is number one on the case, so Ariel is technically an assistant, we also see Tupolski taking control in act 1 also when katurian and Ariel are both on the floor after having a bit of a misunderstanding with each other. It's at this moment when Tupolski steps in and tells them both to sit down.
We see toward the end that Ariel really doesn't like Tupolski, In act 3, katurian finds out alot about Ariels problematic childhood and humiliated him for it, we see Ariel getting extremely worked up and angry with him. Ariel then tries to get Tupolski to stop katurian from intimidating him, but Tupolski joins In.
In a fuming rage after the case when Katurian is killed by Tupolski, Ariel threatens to report Tupolski to the officials, and says "this has happened before", from this we see that Tupolski has previously intimidated Ariel and brought up his childhood which is a painful topic for Ariel to talk about. Ariel also suggests that he should be the number one on the next case, Tupolski laughs because in his head he knows that he dealt with the Murders quickly and efficiently, Ariel would have probably killed Katurian, because Ariel is weak and has also murdered before, he murdered his father showing us that he would probably loose his patience with any convict.
The characters clearly not hate each other, have split personalities and cannot work together.
