Good evening. Thanks for tuning in to your news at 6:00.

A breaking story for central Texas tonight.

Police issued an amber alert for an eight-year-old boy.

He was abducted from his home near Eldorado, Texas, last night.

We don' t have a photo of him yet, but this is what we do know.

His name is Alton Meyer, he is eight years old,

white, with blue eyes and brown hair.

- 4 feet and 8 inches tall... - It’s time.

...and believed this man, Roy Tomlin, took him.

...he is said to be armed and extremely dangerous.

If you have any information please call 911...

It’s time. Are you ready?

Yeah.

Better lose the bedsheet.

Okay.

Attention all units for a wanted person broadcast.

Be on the lookout for a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, primer gray in color...

...bearing Texas license plate 159AG2 driven by two white males...

- Pop that open. - ...and is heading on I-30.

Any unit coming into contact hold and notify.

Hand me those goggles.

Kill the light, Alton.

Again no photos have been provided of the eight-year-old boy, he is white...

...4 ft 8 inches tall, weigh roughly 60 pounds...

...with brown hair and blue eyes said to be traveling with this man...

...Roy Tomlin. Please call 911 with any information.

Stay with us after the break...

Did the ranch put this out?

No. This is something else.

Thank you, Levi.

What you do now...

...will decide our whole way of life.

You have four days, to get the boy back here.

He won’t give him back easily.

But we must get him back in time, you understand?

The Lord has...

...placed a heavy burden on you.

- Peace be to you. - And to you.

We’ll begin with a reading from March 17th, 2011.

Gulf Eclipse. And the numbers came.

35, 47, 97, 52.

Buildings tower. The light comes.

To know the source of such things is to know our place in the world.

...are guided by a plan, unknown to us, but...

Friends. These gentlemen are from the federal government.

I suggest you listen to them very carefully.

Please remain calm.

We are agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

We have a warrant to search the premises

and detain all members of this ranch. There are buses...

...waiting outside to transport you to the campus...

...of Jefferson High School in San Angelo.

Please exit the building in an orderly fashion.

You' ll receive further details when we reach our destination.

Are we good?

It's better to get across state line.

We’ve passed three counties. I’d like to slow down.

Lucas!

Alton, stay down.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

She’s hurt real bad!

She’s gonna need an ambulance! She’s got a bad head wound!

Don’t.

Shoot him!

Get back in the car!

Alton is more important!

Get back in the car!

- Shoot him! - I’ve got this...

Shots fired, officer down.

Send medical 10-18.

Country road 36.

One mile east of marker 87.

Everything is fine. Buckle in.

It’s okay. Just settle down, alright?

You want your comics?

Here.

He had on a vest.

You didn’t know that.

You did the right thing. He’s more important.

You didn’t just shoot a state trooper.

We had you under surveillance since members of your ranch acquired...

...a sizable number of firearms over the course of the last six months.

Do you have an explanation for this?

Well, it’s not illegal to own weapons in this country yet.

What’s the main economic function...

...of your ranch?

We [...], cattle, dairy, but they are not for profit.

We use them ourselves.

Hi. Hello.

Hi, sir. Agent Miller?

Hi. Paul Sevier, NSA. Nice to finally meet you in person.

Hello.

As I said, my name is Paul Sevier.

I work for the NSA in the field of communications.

Do these mean anything to you?

Ignore the rest of this. Polo step?

Meridian Alpha?

Red Saber?

The number combination...

...53, 23, 77, 1, 27?

Yes. They are excerpts from my sermons.

That particular one is from...

...a reading January 18, 2010.

Yes, it is. Did you write this?

Yes.

What if I told you that words and numbers contained in your sermons...

...include sensitive government information...

...that, given the dates you provide,

were transmitted solely by satellite through a heavily encrypted format,

the decryption and dissemination of which,

other than being scientifically impossible,

would surely carry punishments of treason that are so severe...

...the government probably hasn’t invented them yet?

They came from the boy. It' all from the boy.

- Alton Meyer? - Yes.

Okay. Well...

- We knew that. - He’s your son?

Adopted.

- Do you know the birth father? - Yes, I do.

Roy Tomlin.

So can you tell us how an eight-year-old got this information?

He would have fits.

Can you explain that?

And speak in tongues.

Sometimes other languages, sometimes unknown languages.

We wrote them down. They became our scripture.

These are words of the Lord.

Or the Federal Government.

What is the significance of Friday, March 6th?

We need to know where he is.

You all have no clue of what you’re dealing with, do you?

I’ve prepared a room for him.

Alton, it’s wonderful to see you again.

Yes, sir.

Are those windows blacked out?

Yes. It's cardboard behind the drapes.

Well, I'll... I’ll let you all get settled in.

Thank you.

Kick your shoes off.

Get some sleep, Alton.

Night, Lucas.

Goggles.

Try and sleep.

We’ll have breakfast when you get up.

Okay.

That’s National.

- What about the State Trooper? - Nothing.

I can't believe the ranch released this.

I don’t think they did.

I’ll take first watch.

You need to sleep.

- You need anything? - A drink.

You got it.

I’m in this for Alton.

All the way.

Things with that Trooper didn’t need to go down like that.

Don’t interfere with me again.

The details of that relationship, extremely not clear.

I've got something want you to see.

Has anyone else from the ranch decoded the coordinates you gave me?

No.

They only have the D.

Well...

The place is clear,

but I still don’t have an answer as to why that place.

Have you ever done any studying on the concept of ley lines?

No.

Well, their validity is arguable, but I've gotta tell you,

- they never search... - Elden.

I’m tired.

Of course.

Do you miss it?

Living on the ranch.

Yeah.

Very much.

Lucas!

Alton!

No!

I got you. I got you.

I got you. I got you.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Things are break.

What kinds of things?

Windows,

light bulbs,

cars are shut down, that kind of thing.

It just got worse the older he got so...

...they just started lettin’ him sleep...

...in the daytime and he’d be awake at night.

That’s why our services are all at night now.

And what’s your job on the ranch?

Childcare.

I help look after all of Brother Calvin’s children.

Alton it’s been with him, over two years now.

And the birth mother?

She abandoned him.

- Yes, I’ve done it. - Communing?

That’s what we call it.

To be clear,

a visible spectrum of light came from his eyes.

Yes.

Others have described seeing things.

Did he show you things during this process?

Yes.

Well, what kinds of things?

I wouldn’t know where to start.

And Friday, March 6th? Why is this date important?

It’s the day of our judgment.

What makes you say that?

I believe it.

It wasn’t images.

Not what I remember.

It was more...

It was like a feeling.

What...

...kind of feeling?

Comfort.

And...

...what do you think will happen on Friday, March 6th?

If Alton is with us...

...we will be saved.

Barbara Meyer?

Alright, I need everyone to stand up...

...exit through the front doors please.

Lucas, can you get Alton in the van?

Yeah.

We’re taking your van.

Please. Don’t.

You know where we’re going.

I...

I had to see again.

You knew better.

We need to stop for gas.

We could use some supplies.

I’ll go in.

The less people that see you the better.

I need to use a pay phone.

What’s Kryptonite?

It's the only thing that'll kill Superman.

It’s made up.

I should never let you given him those.

He’s never seen a comic book in his life.

That’s why he needed ‘em. Reading’s reading.

He needs to know what's real.

He looks weaker.

He is.

He recovers?

He’s fine.

He speaks Spanish?

It’s something he does.

Turn on the radio.

Scroll through the stations.

We’ll be right back.

Stay in the van.

Hey.

Yeah, we’re okay. We should be there in a couple hours.

Are you okay?

I want to see you.

We’ll be there soon.

Why are you wearin’ those goggles?

Stop! Stop!

He’s with me. He’s my son.

Yeah. Well, you have to watch your kid.

Yeah. I got it. Thank you.

Everything okay?

You cannot leave the van. You hear me?

I’m sorry.

It’s okay. I shouldn’t have left you.

No.

I’m sorry.

Roy.

Go!

Dad?

Alton.

Lean your head back.

- Is he okay? - Yeah.

Roy.

Roy, do we need get him to a hospital?

No. No. Just keep driving.

Is this something that he does?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Alton?

Thank you, God.

Thank you.

Let me look at you.

You're so big.

So grown up.

- Hello. - Hi.

I’m Sarah.

Lucas.

How are you?

I missed him.

Come on.

You all must be exhausted.

Let's go inside.

I got a present for you, Alton.

I can’t keep my eyes off him.

Get some rest.

Okay.

He okay?

He doesn't look good.

He’s sick.

He’s getting weaker, but he’ll be okay.

Should we do something?

Just stick to the plan and get him there by Friday.

Do you think that’s wise?

It’s all we have.

This date and place is everything.

We take him to a hospital, it’s over.

If it’s between that or him dying?

It's three days.

He’ll make it.

I think he’s right.

I don’t know.

I don’t know if there’s a way out of all this for y’all, which is a shame.

You’d make a nice family otherwise.

I’m an electrician.

Certified in two states.

What do I know about these things?

He wouldn’t have asked you if you couldn’t do it.

Sometimes we’re asked to do things that are beyond us.

Yes?

Are you Sarah Tomlin’s mother?

How could someone cause a satellite to fall out of orbit?

I don't know. Ask an engineer.

Well...

Alton Meyer brought down an Air Force satellite last night.

DSP9712.

- It was tasked with detecting... - A nuclear explosion.

Yeah.

This is the last image.

Sent to us by the satellite. We believe that's the boy...

...standing at the center of that heat bloom.

It’s not exactly a heat bloom, but that’s fine.

Whatever it is...

The satellites whole purpose is detecting a nuclear event.

No radiation.

None.

Could a drone be programmed to search for that specific heat signature?

Yeah.

We've got a field office in Mobile we can base your team out of.

What about the interviews?

You’re done with those. Like it or not,

you’re the new resident expert on Alton Meyer.

Let's go.

Breaking news at this hour. A weather satellite...

...fell from space and crushed near a gas station.

This happened overnight in Northern Louisiana...

...and as we speak a massive cleanup is underway...

...because the debris field from the crush is nearly 60 miles wide.

The Canadian company that owns this satellite...

...says that it suffered mechanical failure.

Can you tell Lucas to pull the van around the back?

Roy asked if you’d pull the van around back when you’re done?

Okay.

You’re not...

...from the ranch?

No. No.

Then how you know Roy?

We grew up together.

We were real close for a long time,

till his parents moved them out to the ranch.

And then we fell off.

Until three nights ago there was a knock at my door and there's Roy...

...standing there with Alton.

And says that they're in trouble and they need help.

And Alton, sat me down.

He took those goggles off...

You know when that boy does that...

That thing with his eyes...

That’s powerful.

What do you do in San Angelo?

I’m a State Trooper.

Alton?

Alton?

Yes?

What happened at the gas station?

Did you mean to do that?

Yes.

Why?

They were watching me.

Who was watching you, Alton?

The police.

How do you know it’s the police?

They talk like the police on your radio.

What do they say?

They’re looking for me.

Here's a receipt for her car insurance.

Isuzu Rodeo. ‘99.

There’s a van in the driveway.

See if it’s got a registration in it.

Alton?

Alton?

Breathe. Can you breathe?

- Roy? - Pull over.

- Breathe. - Pull over!

Breathe! Breathe!

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

What is it?

- Mom? - I’m okay.

Alton?

Alton!

Water. He needs water.

Look.

Roy.

He needs water.

We need to take him to a hospital.

- No! - He’s dying!

Hey! Hey!

- He’s sick, right! - No!

- He’s dying! - No!

He will not die!

- He’s meant for something else! - He’s sick and he needs help!

Alton?

We have to go. They’re coming.

Who’s coming?

There.

You take the car with Lucas.

Dad, we have to go.

That way.

Now!

What the... Roy?

- Dad, are you okay? - Yeah.

I can run.

This way.

Alton?

How did you know this was here?

I didn’t.

Sun will be up in a few hours.

We can wait out the daylight here.

Alton?

I’m okay.

I’m sorry.

No.

I need something.

What?

I need to be awake during the day.

In the sun.

You can’t.

I have to.

It could kill you.

Dad...

I have to.

He’s not going to Atlanta.

What?

All these places mentioned with sermons, they don’t matter.

They don't?

They just listening to the government talk.

He's just looking for a language to describe...

...a location an all he heard was coordinates.

That's remarkable.

Now, they want to move us to an office in Atlanta.

Doesn’t matter.

- What? - I know where they’re going.

Old habits die hard.

You still staying up nights?

What happened to your head, Elden?

Roy will get him here.

If he’s not dead.

I’m sorry.

Roy won’t let that happen.

Yeah, I hope not.

He believes in something, you don't.

It doesn’t matter.

Good people die every day believing. Thanks.

Roy spent two years watching another man raise our son.

He did what I couldn’t.

He’ll do anything to get him here.

Get some rest.

Nobody is coming with the sun up.

Dad?

It’s okay.

It’s still daylight.

Jesus.

He looks...

He has something to tell you.

You look wonderful.

It’s still a daylight.

Yeah.

No goggles.

Lucas. Want to sit down?

I saw the sunrise this morning.

I think I know what I am now.

There is...

There's a world...

...built on top of ours.

People live there.

I think they’re like me.

We saw it.

They’re like you?

Yes. I think so.

I understand.

Lucas?

I believe you.

Good.

- You alright in there? - Yeah.

Roy.

I need to talk to you.

Okay.

It’s about tomorrow.

The world you saw.

It didn’t last very long.

Seconds.

And then he got better.

Yeah.

What are you asking?

What if Alton doesn’t belong with us?

We need to consider that.

Come tomorrow,

he may be gone.

I’m out.

So you've never seen a sunrise.

- No. - You like it?

What color was it?

Red...

Orange.

Okay.

You just walked out...

Alton!

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

Alton!

No!

No. No. Please.

No! Stop! Stop!

I’m sorry, Roy.

I didn’t see them coming.

Back in the row, guys.

Hey! Asshole! Back in the row, now!

Roy!

FBI.

CIA.

Homeland Security. Someone has him. Someone knows where he is.

The FBI have field offices.

- We start there... - We won’t find him.

He’s gone.

The only thing I’ve ever believed in was Alton.

And I failed.

Hello, Alton, my name is Sharon Davison.

I’m a childhood development counselor.

I consult with the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

but I am not in law enforcement.

I need to ask you some questions, okay?

There was a crash at a gas station you were at. Do you remember that?

Who is been with you the last few days?

Have you been with your father?

I’m sorry? I didn’t hear that.

Paul.

Who is that?

I want to talk to Paul Sevier.

- My name is... - Paul Sevier.

Lead Operations Analyst.

They just gave me that title.

Who is this guy?

He's NSA.

The place that you and your father were trying to get to,

what’s the significance of that location?

I’ll only speak with him.

Okay. Everybody out.

Just get the information.

Okay. So where do we start?

That’s impressive.

You know, I have to say, I’ve really been looking forward to meeting you.

I think you're a weapon.

I'm not.

In the ranch thinks you are their saver.

I'm not any of those things.

I belong in another world.

There are people there.

They watch us.

They've been watching us for a very long time.

I need to go where I belong.

Where you belong?

- Hello? - Is this Roy Tomlin?

Yes.

I have your son.

Yes. He’s fine. I’m bringing him to you.

Do you have something to write with?

Okay.

Alton?

You ready?

29 degrees, 4 minutes, 31 seconds north.

82 degrees.

41 minutes, 48 seconds west. I’ll have him there in two hours. Bye.

What about the backup generators?

They’ve all failed. I’ve never seen anything like it.

And the exits?

We have three. The gates to each one were opened.

We can’t get them closed without power.

- Let's move out. - Alright, men.

Move!

You over there. Take that side. Let's go, move it, move it, move it.

- Hey. Are you okay? - Yeah.

Alton.

I decoded the same patterns you found in the sermons.

They know where you’re going.

Everything will be blocked up for five miles.

You won't get through.

I can help.

Come on.

Can I come with you?

No.

Thank you.

Are those handcuffs?

I mean, obviously they're handcuffs.

You're Lucas right? The State Trooper?

Do you mind?

Alright, thank you.

Is it too much to ask you to punch me in the face?

You know, forget it. Nevermind.

Thank you.

It needs to be tighter.

Get your arms up.

- How’s that feel? - Good.

- Dad? - Yeah.

Are you scared?

Yes.

You don’t have to worry about me.

I like worrying about you.

You don’t have to, anymore.

I’ll always worry about you, Alton.

That’s the deal.

Can you get this on?

You’ll have to move fast once we stop.

I understand.

There has to be a better way in.

There’s not.

We can do this alone.

You’ve done enough for us.

No.

Are you driving.

This is it.

You sure?

It has the fewest soldiers.

Get down on the floor.

Cover him up.

No room on the shoulder.

Water.

They’ve seen you.

Yeah, we know.

Don’t shoot! They can only return fire!

We’re okay.

You are alright?

Yeah.

Here.

Alton?

Okay.

The steering’s going.

That tread comes off those tires it’ll get a lot harder.

Can’t keep this up.

You alive?

Can we go back to Texas now?

You say here that he got out of the car...

...with the birth mother, Sarah Adams?

Yes.

Where is she now?

Your guess is as good as mine.

- You think they just walked away? - I didn’t say that.

Well, then...

...just explain to me how,

with multiple types of aerial and ground...

...surveillance surrounding the area,

they could simply walk away, undetected.

I don’t know,

but if he didn’t want you to see him,

you wouldn’t see him.

Look, I can tell it to you as many times as you want.

My story’s not changing because it’s true.

You know.

You all saw the same shit I saw.

But keep ask me if you want to.

I’m done.

They’ve sent in a specialist to speak with you.

I suggest that you answer him more fully.

Hello.

My name is Paul Sevier.
