Was it like that with your

parents? Was it?

Just because some suck

proclaims himself a holy man...

and says God commands?

What kind of God tells children

to kill their parents?

Answer me that, buddy.

Did you hearthat

before Isaac? Did you?

I can't believe

you're this blind.

Maybe you've been listening

to this holy roller so long...

that all starts to sound the same.

But it's not!

Any religion without love

and compassion is false.

It's a lie!

Is it what He commands?

I don't think so.

- I don't know.

If I knew what it was,

I could tell you.

It's He Who Walks

Behind The Rows.

What if we tried to make it

to the road?

I think we're safer here,

for now.

Has anybody evertried

to hurt the monster?

Any of the adults, your parents

before they were killed?

The Blue Man!

Who is the Blue Man?

What did he do?

Officer Hodgekiss.

I told you.

He came down here

after he talked to the minister.

He was reading a page

torn out from the Bible...

and it was working

with distil.

What was he reading

at the Bible?

What was it?

Do you know?

You have it?

Hurry up. Where is it?

"And the devil

that deceived them...

was cast into the lake of fire

and sulphur.

Where the beast and the false

prophet shall be tormented...

day and night,

for ever and ever."

What's that supposed to mean?

What was the Blue Man

doing at the distil?

He hooked the hose

and he was ttying to roll it out.

- What stopped him?

- Malachai.

Lake of fire. Fire!

He was gonna burn the field.

Oh, yes.
