Someone found Lucifer's sword and is using it to kill angels. Castiel (Misha Collins) and Uriel (guest star Robert Wisdom) have captured Alastair (guest star Christopher Heyerdahl) and ask Dean (Jensen Ackles) to use the torturing skills he learned in Hell to extract information from him so they can stop the murders. Sam (Jared Padalecki) is concerned Dean can't handle the job but Dean agrees to do it. However, when Alastair reveals some shocking information, Dean's world is shattered.

  • Dean: You guys don't walk enough. You're gonna get flabby. You know, I'm starting to think Junkless has a better sense of humor than you do.
  • Castiel: You need to be more careful.
    Dean: You need to learn how to manage a damn devil's trap

  • As Dean is about to torture Alastair, the demon taunts him, "Grasshopper, you're going to have to get creative to impress me." This is a reference to the TV series Kung Fu (1972-1975), starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest who wanders America in the 19th century. "Grasshopper" was the nickname that his mentor, Master Po, gave him.
