He puts the Hunter signature character through his Last Temptation and rages out at him because they both fully know the tropes that they're playing into and Lucifer is losing his mind that the guy refuses to just change his framing

No I meant like, is it in whatever sense that phrase originally meant (which I have heard in zero other contexts)? Or is it in the sense of "I'm behind you all the way" meaning "I'm in your corner"? Maybe I'm just confused because I don't understand the old sense of the word.

In context it means "go away", like "Let me keep walking and leave you behind" It's a pretty shocking moment in the Gospels -- Jesus is telling the apostles his prophecy that his fate is to die and be martyred and Peter gets upset and says he doesn't have to let that happen

Peter starts going off about how if they know what's going to happen they can stop it, and Jesus snaps at Peter -- his most loyal disciple and best friend -- "Get behind me, Satan!" Because in that moment Peter is speaking Satan's words (possibly literally possessed by Satan)

It's like the moment in Ibsen's Enemy of the People when the guy's father-in-law confronts him, asking him if it isn't *possible* his whistleblowing about the pollution of the hot springs the town economically depends on might be *mistaken*, if there's any chance he might recant

And Stockmann has a real, serious moment of temptation, of thinking he might be wrong and it might be easier to just give in and give up his crusade And then very quietly says "Morton, when I look at you, I swear I see the Devil"
