He plays sound effects.

Ken sits up on a hill,

for his aerial view.

And... people are thrilled...

to have him up there in the sky,

flying around in his

'Sunshine Chopper', even though...

Oh man, I bet they are.

Okay.

Okay.

Syd...

Yeah?

I hate winter.

- Everybody does.

- No, not like me.

These late winters, I feel like I'm living

in the basement of the world,

and it's so cold,

and so dark.

Yeah... it is.

Well, you're gonna...

it's gonna be okay.

Oh, and Grant, I... I'll tell you what: when

the whole fish hut story gets confirmed,

we'll bring it straight to you,

right away, okay?

And it's yours,

even if it's not legitimate...

you can do your whole...

"take no prisoner" thing, okay?

And you'll find it funny this time?

I'll find it as funny as I did

the last time, I'll betcha'!

I was talking to Constable Roseland...

he's totally serious!

I mean, he has completely freaked!

Something happened

this morning on the ice...

and it's put them on to a state...

and now, he wants us to drop the story.

Drop it?

Now, it's probably nothing.

- And probably just a hoax,

- Probably.

Anyway, so, we've got the

'Laurence of Arabia' cast coming in,

so we're gonna brighten up

the day with that.

Laurel Ann here.

Okay, okay.

It's Ken Loney.

Hey, Ken!

Oh, Ken, slow down...

Yeah.

Ken, where are you?

Okay.

Ken, slow down.

Slow down, and...

and how many?

Okay, Ken,

just a second.

Okay, wrap up

'Pontypool Corner', Grant.

We have a big story breaking.

Listen to me...

Keep it hard, okay?

Ken, just a second.

Just a second,

we're going live.

We do double bill

this weekend...

so, I'll check it out

and make sure it's right,

that the're both

at the same time,

but that's what it looks like.

We have breaking news

out of our region this morning.

It appears, it seems that a large

group of people have gathered...

outside the officies of Dr. John Mendez.

It appears to be a protest of some kind,

and officials are describing

the crowd as 'unruly'.

Now, Dr. John Mendez, you may recall,

He was the... he was under investigation

for writing unnecessary prescriptions.

We have an exclusive live report,

from Ken Loney in the...

in the 'Sunshine Chopper'.

What can you see there, Ken?

Grant, I am...

I'm watching hundreds,

literally hundreds of people

packed in and around this building.

and it... it looks pretty odd

from up here.

They seem to be, uh... trying to

cram themselves inside...

Oh!

Ohh!

What's happening, Ken?

The side of the office... this building

has just burst open, it's spilling people...

It... it...

it just kind of exploded!

Oh! Ooh...

Jesus! It's an explosion of... of...
