Midnight Special Page #4

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 youd pull the van

around back when youre done?

Okay.

Youre 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...

Thats powerful.

What do you do in San Angelo?

Im 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 its the police?

They talk like the

police on your radio.

What do they say?

Theyre looking for me.

Here's a receipt for

her car insurance.

Isuzu Rodeo. 99.

Theres a van in the driveway.

See if its 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?

- Im okay.

Alton?

Alton!

Water. He needs water.

Look.

Roy.

He needs water.

We need to take him

to a hospital.

- No!

- Hes dying!

Hey! Hey!

- Hes sick, right!

- No!

- Hes dying!

- No!

He will not die!

- Hes meant for something else!

- Hes sick and he needs help!

Alton?

We have to go. Theyre coming.

Whos 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 didnt.

Sun will be up in a few hours.

We can wait out the

daylight here.

Alton?

Im okay.

Im sorry.

No.

I need something.

What?

I need to be awake

during the day.

In the sun.

You cant.

I have to.

It could kill you.

Dad...

I have to.

Hes not going to Atlanta.

What?

All these places mentioned with

sermons, they dont 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.

Doesnt matter.

- What?

- I know where theyre going.

Old habits die hard.

You still staying up nights?
