There's the truck! Liam, start recording!
Let's go!
Make way!
I got him!
And he smells terrible!
Good job, Rust. You caught trash.
And the real culprit got away!
That's all right, we still have some good footage.
Let's go show Principal Ramirez!
Now, this is a news story!
But, who's the culprit?
Um, we don't know yet, but we're really close.
Well, now I got to see how this turns out.
I'll give you the rest of the week to crack it.
Yes! You can count on the Action News Team!
[nervous laughter]
Just get out.
There's the driver, right on time.
[screaming]
Zach, you've been there the whole time?!
We thought you overslept!
It's called camouflage, Rusty.
Hey, y'all, where the heck's the popcorn culprit?
Guess he's a no show. At least we can still talk to the driver.
Action News Team!
Do you have anything to say about the popcorn situation?
We saw you meet with someone yesterday.
Who have you been selling all the school's popcorn to?
What are you talking about?
Today's my first day, the last guy got transferred to Indianapolis!
Popcorn perp must have arranged it, he must be onto us.
Wait, but why did you run from us?
You see a weird looking bush coming at you,
your instincts tell you to run.
Well what do we do now?
We need to find a way to lure the culprit out of hiding.
I've got a plan!
Zach, we're gonna need your tracker, and Clyde's spice kit.
If the culprit likes popcorn,
there's no way he'll be able to resist…
Clyde's famous rosemary parm corn!
Okay guys, we'll take turns watching the tracker.
Settle in, this could be a while.
[gasps] Popcorn on the move.
It's showtime!
Come on, let's go!
They're heading to the wharf.
He's making a break for Canada!
Oh no he's not! Liam, gonna wanna film this.
Time to shine!
[screams]
Don't worry, Rust, I got it.
Well, without a story, I guess this is the end of the road
for the Action News Team.
Hm... Guys, look!
It's a ferry ticket and it's timestamped from last night!
The culprit must be in the building!
Let's go find him. The Action News Team is back in business!
Right, we can… We can do the pose later.
Look y'all, a popcorn kernel, and there's a whole trail of 'em.
Ha, good grits, and I thought Meemaw was a messy eater.
The door's locked!
Step aside!
Liam, you're gonna wanna film this!
Don't worry, Rust, I got it.
Bingo.
OK, this is it. Let's do this!
Action News Team! We're coming in!
Meryl? You're the one who's been taking all the school's popcorn?
Oh, I'm so sorry, I just wanted a quiet place to watch my soaps,
and nothing soundproofs like popcorn.
Oh, please don't air this, kids, I could lose my job!
We would never do that Meryl, even if it means we don't have a story.
Which means we don't have a show.
Aw, y'all are the sweetest.
Wait, I know of another big story that'll save your show!
For years, it's been a legend, but no one's been able to find it.
Until now!
Thanks to an anonymous tip, the Action News Team has uncovered…
the school's secret game room.
Well that's our report for today.
We've got some games to play.
Bravo, I've been looking for this room for years.
Great work team, you can keep your show!
[cheering]
Now Meryl, you up for a round of air hockey?
You bet your biscuits.
[chuckles]
Oh, and Zach, I owe you a new tracker.
It's all good.
Guys, I just got a new lead on another story.
Rumor has it, there's a hot tub in the Teachers' Lounge.
The Action News Team is on the case!
