How to use detailTextLabel when initializing cell in code?

I don't have a prototype cell in IB. I'm initializing the cell in code.

let mycell = UITableViewCell(style: .Default, reuseIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier")
mycell.textLabel!.text = "main text"
mycell.detailTextLabel!.text = "test"

The mycell.textLabel!.text call works fine. But the mycell.detailTextLabel!.text call crashes the app because mycell.detailTextLabel is nil. Is there something else I need to do for that part to work?
