At Duncan's house, the news of the prison breakout is airing on TV. His parents are in the living room. Duncan's dad, Ronald, is watching the broadcast while Duncan's mom, Sandra, is pacing back and forth talking on the phone with the warden of that prison.
"Yes. Yes, I know that we have to find them, but we'll need a different approach to capture the hairless Bigfoot!" "I know his wrists are too big for the cuffs." "And that he's…" "Wait a minute. Wait a min… Slow down! Slow down." "What?" "Oh my gosh." "All right. Ronald and I will mobilize as soon as possible. Give us any updates on the escapees. We'll do what we can on our end. Goodbye."
Sandra hangs up the phone and turns to look at her husband, disapprovingly, who is sitting on the couch watching the news. She asks sarcastically "And what are you doing to help?"
Her husband responded "The prison break is already on the news - on every news channel. They're getting ready to show the mug shots." Sandra and Ronald both sit on the couch in front of the TV. The newswoman, brown hair in a bun, relaxed, green eyes, and wearing a dark, blue blouse, announces the fugitives. "We have just received mug shots of the escapees from Manitoba penitentiary. Here are their names as follows:" The mug shots of the prisoners appears on the screen. "Frido Kemper (the killer with the hook), Mickey Salaveri (the prisoner who did the kissy face), Duncan…"
"DUNCAN?!" Ronald exclaims in surprise. He looks at his wife, confused that she doesn't have the same reaction. But it turns to anger when he realizes she knew. Sandra turns to face her husband and sternly says "Keep watching the news, honey." And they both do.
"…Caucasian man who goes by the name of Cormack. Nothing is known about this man yet except that he is very dangerous and he is accompanied by the prisoners that he released from custody. Multiple police officers and Mounties have tried to apprehend him, and as a result, have ended up with many severe injuries and were rushed to the hospital. We are issuing Cormack at a threat level of 6. If you see him in your city or neighborhood, go to the nearest building and stay inside. Reporting live, this is Janice Wikkerman.
Sandra turns off the TV using the remote after the news woman signs off.
"Why is Duncan with that man?" said the mother. She starts to get worried. "I can't believe my baby is running around with that… monster."
Ronald, unreceptive, opens a closet door to find his police uniform on a hanger next to his wife's. He carries it upstairs to his and his wife's bedroom and places it on the bed and then opens the drawer of the dresser to get his gun. Before he could even grab it, his wife, who was silently standing at the doorway with arms crossed, shouts "Donald! Are you even listening to me at all?" He turns to his wife and they argue.
"Sorry honey, I'm getting dressed – just like you should be doing." says Donald.
"Donald," says Sandra. "I know that we have jobs to do, but I just couldn't believe…"
"Couldn't believe what? That our child would be a criminal? Oh wait, he is… or better yet he WAS… even before he was old enough to go to juvenile hall!"
"We didn't know he was going to turn out this way! I certainly didn't!"
"Well, you were wrong; we were both wrong! And now he's joined some kind of traveling prisoner posse!"
"I know Donald; I saw the news!"
"I would've thought joining Total Drama was a chance for him to be around good people, but it was just another excuse to avoid going to juvie."
"At least he didn't go back for three seasons of that show… and he made friends with some of the contestants. He even gave one of them, D.J., a pet rabbit – among other good deeds."
"Yes, he did show some sympathy to the others, but…"
"But… I think you're being too pessimistic, Ronald."
"Only because of Duncan's thoughtless and reckless antics. We almost got fired from our jobs when the chief knew he was our son!"
"Well, he does have your looks."
"That's not the point! What is is that our son is now a full-blown criminal. He's caused too much trouble in this family… and for himself. I don't know why you can't see that!"
"Well do you know what I see? A hard-hearted man who had never even shown one ounce of affection to his son ever since…"
"Ever since he was five years old; he took my keys, drove my car into a gas station food store, and stuffed all the candy he could find into his shirt, pants, and shoes. I know - and he got worse year after year! I'm getting tired of sending his butt behind bars and he's getting too old for being irresponsible! He's not a little kid anymore! I mean, why should I care about what happens to him?!"
"Because he's your son!"
"I know!"
"If you do know, then you should start caring for him!"
"WHY SHOULD I?!"
"BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES!"
The couple then held serious glares. Donald is the one who gives in and puts on his uniform. Sandra then goes back downstairs in a huff to get her uniform. As she goes downstairs, she gives a sigh of worry and says "Oh, Duncan. Why would you do this?" Tears start to well up in her eyes and she sobs softly.
