01:00As you know, tonight is bonfire night.
01:03Burn, baby, burn.
01:07Do you know why they light the fire, children?
01:10We covered this in my monarchist club.
01:13Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament in 1605 and killed King James I.
01:16So people light fires ever since to celebrate his failure.
01:20Guy Fawkes was a Catholic, Mr. Critch.
01:23He was a hero, not a villain.
01:26He wanted to blow up the Protestant king to spark a Catholic revolution.
01:31He was tortured in the Tower of London.
01:35He was drawn and quartered.
01:38The bonfires they lit were to burn his holiness, the Pope, in effigy.
01:44When you burn a bonfire, children, you burn a Catholic.
01:49And you warm yourselves on the flames of hell.
01:55Have fun.
01:56Oh, uh, I'm walking over to Dad's.
02:04There's a bonfire by his place.
02:05I thought he moved around the bay.
02:07Yeah, but husband don't know that.
02:08Mom says her name's still on it, so I'm sure I can.
02:11Sounds complicated.
02:13Don't get me started.
02:14Parents are some childish.
02:16So, uh, want to come?
02:18Oh, uh, I don't know.
02:21It sounds dangerous.
02:22I've never been to one before.
02:23They don't have them on my street.
02:25That's because your street's a highway.
02:27Sounds fun.
02:28I just gotta call home when we get there.
02:30Come on, don't be such a wuss.
02:32But a fire can't hurt you.
02:33Yes, it can.
02:34That's why they have a fire department.
02:40It was a different kind of fire that burned in my heart.
02:45Okay, fine.
02:46I'm in two.
02:46You guys do have a hose, right?
02:49No.
02:54Oh, Mike, get down off there.
02:56You break your neck.
02:57I'm testing smoke detectors.
02:59I gotta do a ride-along with the caps tonight,
03:01so I can't be home.
03:02The whole city's liable to burn down again tonight.
03:05I came by my fear of fire, honestly.
03:08St. John's hasn't burned since 1892.
03:11Because of smoke detectors.
03:13Every sleeve-y with a pack of matches
03:15is gonna be out roaming the streets tonight.
03:16Is there anything here that I can burn?
03:20Absolutely not.
03:22My club's having a party, and it's BYOB.
03:26Bring your own bonfire.
03:28The boys are coming by later on to collect some stuff,
03:31but we don't have anything worth burning.
03:35What about that old thing?
03:36Sick of looking at it?
03:37Oh, I'd love to.
03:38But I can't lift him.
03:40Not funny.
03:42I was talking about the chair.
03:43I hate that filthy old thing.
03:44My chair?
03:45But this is a beautiful antique.
03:47You just don't have an eye for beautiful things.
03:49I mean, look at the lines on this.
03:51Will you frig up?
03:52It's ugly.
03:53That chair is off limits.
03:56Mike, will you shut that thing off?
03:57I'm trying to.
04:00Damn thing.
04:02Whoa, whoa.
04:03Jeez.
04:05Whoa.
04:05Ooh.
04:06Oh.
04:08Mm-hmm.
04:09You are not gonna burn my broom.
04:12However would you get around?
04:15Oh, well.
04:16I suppose I could use these batteries.
04:21I mean, they may blow up real good.
04:23One year, it got totally out of control.
04:26It was massive.
04:27And, like, they had to call people,
04:28but it was so cool.
04:33It may be a bad time to use your phone.
04:36Mom!
04:37Well, wait.
04:42Is everything okay?
04:44And that's when I caught him
04:45stealing propane tanks off of Dex.
04:49What the hell has gotten into you?
04:50I was just gonna throw him in the bonfire
04:51for a laugh is all.
04:53Oh, my God.
04:53He hates you staying here.
04:54Not in my trouble here, father.
04:56Frig's off to Cape Royal, and here I am.
04:57Look, if I catch him out again tonight...
04:58That you will not.
04:59I'm not letting you out of my sight.
05:01Oh, come on.
05:01I gotta be somewhere.
05:02So?
05:04We were all gonna go to the fire,
05:05but now you shagged that up too.
05:07Ruined.
05:07You're lucky I got somewhere to be,
05:09or I'd take you in.
05:10You're almost 18.
05:11And it won't be the boy's home for him then.
05:19Look, it's ever since his father took off,
05:21it's been one thing after another.
05:22I'm on my last nerve.
05:24Mom can't take much more of this.
05:26It's not fair to her.
05:28You could go to jail.
05:30Won't press charges.
05:31I know this was good for him.
05:33I got friends now, you know.
05:35Listen, I need you to do something for me.
05:37Oh, frig off!
05:38My friend's seen that cop car.
05:40Do you know how embarrassing that is?
05:42Fine, I'll get our brother to do it.
05:44No, no.
05:45Leave him alone.
05:47It's just what Mom needs now, huh?
05:49He's trying to stay out of trouble.
05:50I just need something picked up as hell.
05:52Okay, if I'm not there to get it,
05:53I will be in a lot of trouble.
05:56Oh, yeah?
05:57Worse than the cops?
05:58Yeah.
06:02Last time, okay?
06:03I swear, and then I'll be good.
06:06Okay.
06:06For Mom.
06:12A thousand scenarios played through my mind,
06:15each one worse than the last.
06:17Maybe someone broke in.
06:19I don't think robbers rob other robbers.
06:22Well, hey, uh, what's up?
06:24I mean, in general, whatever's going on
06:26is none of our business.
06:27Unless you want an issue...
06:28I need to go get something.
06:29We're gonna miss the bonfire.
06:30I gotta go get a package.
06:32My brother's in trouble.
06:34I thought I saw a cop car.
06:35Is he?
06:35Not that.
06:36Worse.
06:39If you had to do something bad,
06:41but it was to protect someone that you care about,
06:44is it still bad?
06:47Yes.
06:51Maybe you should tell an adult.
06:54Forget it.
06:54I'll just do it myself.
06:55Whatever it is, he probably deserves it.
07:01Wherever she was going was more dangerous than any bonfire,
07:04but like a moth to a flame,
07:06I couldn't help myself.
07:08Wait, you can't be serious.
07:10Do it for you, too.
07:12I still haven't even called home.
07:17Guys.
07:18Wait up.
07:20There you are.
07:20Let's go. Come on.
07:21You just missed your friends.
07:25Oh.
07:27Did you give them something to burn?
07:29Yep.
07:33You didn't!
07:35Told you I was sick of looking at it.
07:36You're gonna have to take me down there.
07:38I gotta stop them.
07:39Oh, don't be so foolish.
07:40I'll get you another chair.
07:41There's more to that chair than meets the eye.
07:45Come on.
07:46Fine.
07:47I actually can't wait to watch that thing burn.
07:49Mike Rich, VOCM News,
07:52and a ride loud to police
07:54as they patrol the horrific hellfire,
07:56the flood of flame,
07:57the destructive dystopia of bonfire night.
07:59Stay inside.
08:00Dampen your walls.
08:01Mike Rich, VOCM Pyro Patrol.
08:14I'd never seen anything like it.
08:16Part block party,
08:17part wicker man.
08:19It's not safe.
08:23You think it's safer to stay here and play with fire?
08:26Yes.
08:27There's more than one way to get burned.
08:29Think of it as a quest.
08:31Like Lord of the Rings?
08:32I didn't read Lord of the Rings.
08:34How does it end?
08:36I don't know.
08:37I didn't read it either.
08:39Hey, stop your gawking.
08:41Come on, will ya?
08:41Yeah.
08:42Okay, this is a shortcut.
08:50We can have the fence.
08:51Why can't we just go around?
08:52It's twice as far that way.
08:54You need to call home, right?
08:56There's no way I'm climbing that.
08:58It's easy.
09:03What?
09:04See?
09:04A baby could climb this.
09:10Okay.
09:12Would you hurry up?
09:14What?
09:15It's not even high.
09:16Can you stop arcing around?
09:17I had the upper body strength of a jellyfish.
09:21Come on, Mark.
09:22Thanks, Rishi.
09:22You're almost there.
09:23All right.
09:27Oh, finally.
09:33Okay.
09:34Your turn.
09:35Oh, yeah.
09:36I'm okay.
09:43Come on.
09:46Come on.
09:46I'm stuck.
09:47Okay, we'll just rip them, then.
09:49These are my school pants.
09:51Come on.
09:52You can get over.
09:54Oh, the wire.
09:55Okay.
09:56We have to leave him.
09:57We can't do that.
09:59We can get him on the way back.
10:02The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
10:08Or the one.
10:10Everyone I know is an arse.
10:11Can you call home for me?
10:12I don't know what all the fuss is about.
10:26That chair looks like it's been burned twice already.
10:29No, but it did survive a riot.
10:32Hmm?
10:33Yes, it was 1932, before we joined Canada.
10:37We had our own prime minister then, Sir Richard Squires.
10:42Not that he did us any good.
10:44He was our fox in the hen house.
10:46And the people were starving.
10:48It started as a protest.
10:51Things got out of hand.
10:54They were out for blood.
10:56Me too.
10:57There's something about being in a mob that makes you fearless.
11:09And something about youth that makes you stupid.
11:14Get out of here!
11:16You coward!
11:24The prime minister escaped, disguised as a woman.
11:28He barely got away with his life.
11:30Me?
11:33I got away with his chair.
11:35Why the hell didn't you tell us that before?
11:40I was never going to admit to having stolen goods.
11:42That chair is hot.
11:43And it's about to get even hotter.
11:45Come on, step on it.
11:47Go!
11:49Sorry, just be careful.
11:51I think I'll put my belt on.
12:05What's in this package?
12:09I didn't ask.
12:11I didn't want to know.
12:13I think we both know.
12:17You can always tell my dad or Officer Butt.
12:20Cops aren't there to help people like me, Mark.
12:24You don't have to do this.
12:26If you do, I do.
12:28I'm scared.
12:36I had a chance to show her I could be a bad boy.
12:39I was an actor.
12:41All I had to do was act tough.
12:43Allow me?
12:44My brother rented a Cheech and Chong movie once.
12:46What do you want, youngsters?
13:06Hello, sir.
13:08My name is Mark.
13:09This is my associate, Fox.
13:12And we're here for the package.
13:16My brother sent me to pick it up.
13:20How old are you?
13:2116.
13:24Oh, your brother's a nurse.
13:33For a drug dealer, he sure was bad at keeping plants alive.
13:41Nice hideout you got here.
13:43I mean, apartment.
13:46So, do you have it or not?
13:50What's the rush?
13:52You should chill out.
13:54Yeah.
13:55What is the rush?
13:57We pick up packages all the time.
13:59My street name is the mailman.
14:02What are you doing?
14:03I don't know.
14:04What happened to all your knives?
14:15We got places to be, you know.
14:23So, where's your brother?
14:25Oh, his mom said he wasn't allowed out.
14:27He's busy.
14:36And with that, I was a drug dealer.
14:42Don't you want to check it?
14:43A little light?
14:50It's fine.
14:53I'm going to love it with you.
14:54Normally, the only joint I roll is my ankle.
14:56The only grass I'm hooked on is Degrassi.
14:58Am I right?
14:59You know what?
15:00I would, but asthma.
15:01If I was a seabird, I'd be a puffin.
15:03You know, because the...
15:04Always talk this much when you're scared.
15:07Yes.
15:09Come on.
15:10Let's go.
15:10Okay.
15:12Wow.
15:13This has been a hoot.
15:15You tell your brother.
15:16I don't like being made a fool of.
15:18Bye-bye.
15:24Let's go.
15:25We ran outside to find the world.
15:27It got a little darker.
15:30Come on.
15:30Let's go.
15:31Oh, we're being on.
15:34It's bonfire night, folks.
15:37Have fun, but remember, be safe.
15:40Now, let's check in with Mike Critch to see where the action is.
15:44Oh, the humanity.
15:47Everywhere we look to see, a flame threatens to blaze into a towering inferno.
15:51For the love of God, stay home and avoid this pagan pyre.
15:56Mike Critch in the VLCM Power Patrol Cruiser.
16:03Okay.
16:03Coming up, we have Talking Heads with Burning Down the House, followed by Billy Joel with
16:08We Didn't Start the Fire.
16:10But first, John Mellencamp with Paper in Fire.
16:14Only on your hot rock station, VOCM.
16:18I was on a natural high.
16:24The rush of bonfire night and carrying narcotics was better than any Ferris wheel.
16:29I wasn't afraid of fire anymore.
16:31Like steel, the fire had only made me stronger.
16:34Did you hear me?
16:36I was like, I'm going to hand me bite.
16:38I really held my own.
16:39I think he liked me.
16:41Come on, we're almost there.
16:43Wait.
16:44How'd I go back and get Richie?
16:45After.
16:46I don't want to be walking around with this thing.
16:51You could always throw it in the air.
16:52It's not going to do him any good to get it.
17:00I swore it was the last time.
17:03Maybe last time should have been the last.
17:05Oh, no.
17:13Crap, right.
17:14Mark?
17:16What are you doing here?
17:17Hop in.
17:17We'll give you a lift.
17:18Uh, no, Dad.
17:20It's okay.
17:20Really.
17:21We're...
17:22Nonsense.
17:23Practically a riot here.
17:24Get yourself killed.
17:35Push aside the propane tanks in the back there, youngsters.
17:42Oh, Pat.
17:45Check the sandwich.
17:49Little did they know that as they made their way through traffic, they were trafficking.
18:01James, go!
18:05Bob, no!
18:12I don't care who's arse sat in it.
18:14It's not worth getting killed over, even if it belonged to the Prime Minister.
18:18But it belongs to me.
18:20Look, when I moved in with you and Mike, I...
18:23I only had the clothes on my back.
18:26Even my bed belonged to young Mike.
18:29That chair, it's the only thing in the house that belongs to me.
18:33I own it.
18:35Oh, for the freak's sake.
18:55Old furniture doesn't have to be worth anything to be priceless.
18:59Like Pop, they don't make them like that anymore.
19:01I own it.
19:02I own it.
19:03I own it.
19:04I own it.
19:05I own it.
19:06I own it.
19:07Now listen, Fox.
19:08Your brother's been hanging with a hard crowd.
19:11And your other brother's no prize, either.
19:14You don't need to end up like them.
19:16You hear me?
19:17No, Gary.
19:18She's a good kid.
19:19You're not gonna get tangled up with that crowd, are you, Fox?
19:22No, sir.
19:23Good night.
