- It's punishment. God sent him.

- He's God's avenging angel and he's...

- Stop it!

This is nothing to do with God.

- He sent Aden because of what you did.

- Amy!

He's just a man.

A bad man.

God doesn't hurt people.

"And the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel

"and there died of the people from

Dan to Beersheba, 70,000..."

Oh, you're so f***ing weird!

Whats she talking about?

What did you do?

What did you do to Dad?

She buried him. Up on the tor.

I am so sorry.

You killed Dad?

Aden knows things.

Things only Dad knew.

How?

He knew him.

Your dad wasn't dead.

He went back to the rigs.

I should have stopped him.

Your father.

I didn't realise until it was too late.

I should have stopped him.

You could have told me.

I thought...

(Sobs)

I tried.

What did he do to you?

He hurt your sister.

Listen, we'll be OK.

I promise.

We'll be OK.

We just have to stick together.

Your mother's worried to death.

Hold up.

Get your sister, jump in my car.

Is there a problem?

Nothing we can't sort out, I'm sure.
