1* Eisenstein's interrogation of a crippled witness, riding on painkillers.
2-->'''Eisenstein''': A Spetsnaz unit was invited on a N.A.T.O special forces exercise in northern Norway. But the weather closed in faster than expected. The team was cut off. In their patronizing way, the Western military believed they had a lot to teach the Russians. They thought in terms of [[CrazyPrepared method]]... when in fact it was a matter of [[IDidWhatIHadToDo philosophy]]. Don't look round. It was forty degrees below zero. The four-man unit stumbled on an elderly couple stranded in their mountain cabin. They had food in their larder for another week. [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty The blizzard lasted two]]. You can look now.
3** ...Eisenstein's [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong Spetsnaz]] bodyguard is [[ImAHumanitarian eating the man's hand]]. The man then proceeds to tell Eisenstein everything he wants to know.
4* Jesse's attempt to directly confront God and make Him answer for abandoning creation [[UnderStatement does not go well]].
5* The Saint of Killer's realization of the time he rode in the open at night when he was a man, and would get the feeling he was being watched by someone beckoning him to come closer[[spoiler:; revealed to be the very thing he has become]].
6* All of Cassidy's physical gifts, his heroism against all sorts of evil and time and time again he [[spoiler: ends up becoming a pill-popping sex addict. And a rapist]].
7* Jesse's grandmother and her minions. In particular, how much joy she takes in how broken he looks [[spoiler: after they kill Tulip.]] It's also just uneasy seeing him so broken considering his normal confident (if a bit careless) self.
8** Something that makes it even worse? Jessie's grandmother does have doubts about all the awful things she has done, but GOD tells her she has done right!
9* Three simple words: GodIsEvil. Not some fantasy expy, not some overhyped space monster, the God YOU are familiar with, the Judeo-Christian God you were always told was good, and all the bad things that happen were for a good reason. And He's not even evil for a higher purpose, He's evil for the same reason ''we'' are - because He's a neurotic, selfish asshole who only cares about Himself. We ARE made in His image, and that isn't a good thing.
