Would it be alright to call you Stu? Scene: Stu nods. Nick: Stu? I'm her partner. My job is to keep her safe and help her rise in her career. Your job is to motivate her.

It was important for you...it was important for me..... it was important for both of us. Enjoy it you nervous ninny. Judy: What did my father say to you? Nick: Oh you know? The usual fatherly pride and concern for a daughter. Judy: Nick? What did he say? And please don't fox tongue me? Nick: You know? That could be taken in so many different directions? Judy: Nick?!

Listen to me please? You are such a sweet and wonderful bunny and I honestly owe you for a lot I can't really pay for.

Not to mention....a good dose of this... Scene: Leo waves his huge paw before his cringing son's face. Leo: Now....go and help your mother and sister clean up before bed. Scene: Leo turns to look at Nick. Leo: Mister Wilde? The look of respectable behavior with you is so un-natural. Nick: I know...but you've certainly done very well from where you started. Leo: I would feel better of you could deprogram my son. But I trust that in time he will grow out of it. So long as you keep to your own course as a good example. Good evening officers. Scene: Nick and Judy get back into the cruiser. Judy: Want to tell me about this? Nick: Sigh....They're from Africa of course. White lions are so rare you know. They came with practically nothing and me being “my self” I took to helping them out. Judy: You mean you took their son into the scamming business? Nick: There was nothing illegal involved. Just a cleaning service specializing in removing certain “bi-products” from cars, offices, garages, boats....for which the only process that worked was the design of yours truly. Judy: Gee....how much in taxes did you hide with that venture? Nick: Shame that you accuse me of tax dodging....hold on.....200 dollars per order, four to five orders a day, 365 days a year for five years....that comes to 1,825,000 dollars and all of it and I do mean all of it was donated to help the Kinnison's... including their little restaurant so no...I did not evade taxes thank you.

Your License, your insurance and your registration please? Timon: Lemme check my glove compartment. Oh wait....this is a dragon, there is no glove compartment. Larry: Sir? You were doing sixty in a twenty and your dragon was spitting fire, this is no time for jokes? Scene: Toothless is regarding Tamari with curious looks as she nervously grips a fire extinguisher. Tamari: Officer Ralston? This Dragon is acting really weird. Larry: Just be calm, they're not normally dangerous. He's probably just a little curious. Sir? You have the documents or not? If you don't have them, you know we will have to impound the dragon. Timon: Just give me a second. Can I get off his back so I can get to the saddle pocket? Scene: Timon hops off and Toothless rears up on his hind legs. Tamari: Officer Ralston? This dragon's really big and hes got really big teeth... Larry: Relax Tamari....he's harmless. Scene: Toothless suddenly makes a menacing but joking face with his arms outstretched and Tamari blasts him in the mouth with the fire extinguisher! Timon: Oh what the heck?! Hey! Toothless?!

Time from movie start: 12 minutes Scene Shift: Scene Location: The Kinnison Home on Prairie Road, Savanna Central. Scene: Leo Kinnison walks into the kitchen where is wife Snoween Leo: Is Kimba in his room with his homework? Snoween: Not exactly voluntarily. You know he's easily board Leo, I can't understand why you are so resistant to putting him into an advanced school, really. Leo: I know he's very smart Snoween but he needs good socialization skills...and a little more common sense. Snoween: And maybe you should be more involved in his life? You pay more attention to the restaurant and our daughter more than Kimba. If it wasn't for our son being so gifted when we first came to Zootopia with nothing...I believe he starves for your attention and approval. Leo: Sigh....perhaps closing for a week wouldn't be a bad idea. Anyway....I have to take out the trash, I left it by the front door.

(Fade to black) End of Act 1 ACT 2 (Fade in from black) Location: Zootopia police headquarters Time: Morning after the Leo Restaurant ambush Opening Scene: Facade of the Police Station. Two officers with black arm bands are lowering the Zootopia flag slowly to half mast while “Oh God of Loveliness” plays quietly over speakers. (Fade pass to next scene) Location: The Bull Pen, ZPD HQ Scene: Gary Purina's chair with his photo in black bunting. Scene: The camera zooms out to show officers in mourning. Wolf officer Wooford is crying and goes into a mournful howling until officer Ben Clawhouser enters the room. Clawhauser: Attention! Scene: The officers move to take their seats as Chief Bogo enters and takes his place at the podium. He pauses a moment to look over his grieving department. Chief Bogo: I received news this morning that Officer Francine is out of surgery and in recovery. I want to take a moment to recognize the quick thinking and action displayed by Lieutenant Hopps last night in telling the follow on units to hold back and for her expert use of her police cruiser. You prevented a worse tragedy on us Judy....well done. Scene: Judy gives Nick a surprised look and he waves a finger back at her. Chief Bogo: Larry Ralston is not here...he and officer Purina were very close. All our thoughts for our grieving brother. Officer Purina was a good wolf...fearless, loyal, warm to all of us...believe me when I say that the entire force is devastated. This is the first time we've ever lost one of our own. For myself....it's a real hard gut punch to absorb. You all know....I'm not one for displaying feelings. We also have two lion cubs without parents. We will of course do for them what we can but right now....we have a dangerous predator to take down, let's not allow our pain to give this scum bag an advantage. Chief Bogo: At the moment, we are waiting on ballistics but current evidence points to the perp being armed with a high caliber long gun judging by the wound Francine took so we are conducting a sweep of all large animals in the city who own such rifles and we're quickly eliminating potential suspects thanks to our accurate and detailed registration section at City Records. Chief Bogo: For now....the priority is public safety. I've doubled the air units, increased the frequency and length of our drone flights and ordered increased patrols of our ports of entry and exit. The perp might be here with his weapon but he sure as hell won't find it easy to leave with it... Scene: An officer (A beaver) suddenly bursts through the Bull Pen door... Officer Beaver: Sir! There's been another shooting! Haymarket Station in the Meadow Lands....The platform conductor.....ten point Mule deer....he's dead. Scene: Officers in the room react. Chief Bogo: Everyone sit down! Scene: Bogo turns to Judy and Nick. Chief Bogo: Lieutenant Hopps, Officer Wilde? I want you both to investigate the Kinnisons and the Conductor's background history for any connection between them and any potential suspects. Nick: Chief? You're not suggesting? Chief Bogo: No time for questions Wilde. Wasting time gets people killed. I'm tasking you two to perform a necessary part of a complete investigative function, don't back talk me now. Scene: Judy snaps to attention, snatches Nick and they walk out of the room. Judy takes Nick into the Male furs bathroom.... Nick: Uh? Judy? Judy: You made false statements on a report?! Are you crazy?! You know Chief Bogo's policy on lying on official documents of any kind Nick! You'll get fired! Nick: What false statements? Judy: I came up with the ideas last night? Using the cruiser the way we did and holding people back from the scene was your idea Nick! It's the truth! Nick: And you know me? I don't crave adulation and attention. Hello? Fox? And what the hell? How could Bogo even dare suspect Leo and Snoween of anything? Judy: It's not suspicion. It's the elimination of factors to come to an accurate and precise determination. But who knows what might be possible since you involved their son in pulling scams. He doesn't exactly hang around with outstanding models of society. Nick: Alright....We'll do an investigation. I just hope we don't find anything “common”....I don't expect too either. Just please....don't say we have to go talk to Kimba? Not this soon? Scene: Judy gives Nick a dead serious look. Nick: ugh.......damn it! Judy? Where is your compassion? Judy: It went flat like that poor conductor at Haymarket Station. We don't have time to write prepared statements Nick or practice sympathy approaches, we need to get our investigation done as fast as possible so.....keep your pieces together. Scene: Judy and Nick walk out of the bathroom. Scene Shift: Scene Location: Animal child Welfare Center. Pack Street. Downtown Scene: Judy and Nick stand at a doorway and are directed by a female sheep to where Kimba is playing on the floor with his younger sister Kitty. As Judy and Nick walk up, Kimba sees them and charges at them! He nails Nick in the chin with a punch and get's held by Judy as Nick reels from the blow. Nick turns to look at Kimba with tears running down his face. Kimba cries and hugs Nick... Nick: I'm sorry kid....I'm so sorry.... Scene: Judy, Nick and Kimba sit in a room. Judy puts a drink in Kimba's paws and pats his face.... Judy: Are you alright? Kimba: Hard to figure out what all right is... Scene: Nick grabs a chair and sits. Nick: Kimba? I know this is going to sound harsh and I wouldn't blame you if you got angry but we need to ask some tough questions to help us catch the guy who killed your parents. Kimba: I kinda figured you weren't here to be cry blankets. My parents didn't do anything themselves. Me and the Maldi brothers did some stuff for Mister Big for like a year. Judy: What kind of “stuff”? Kimba: Ran deliveries of super grade “Nip”...you know....really potent stuff the FDA (Furry Drugs Administration) would classify as “control'd substances”? Dunno why? All it does is make cats super horny. Judy: Mister Big loves to cover the spectrum doesn't he? Who owns most of the family planning agencies in Zootopia? Nick: It doesn't work on bunnies. Why doesn't he go after bunnies? Judy: then it would be super obvious wouldn't it? Nick: So...you pushed “Super Nip” for a year and? Kimba: Mister Big asked me to stay on because he appreciated my work but I told him it was to help my family through a rough patch with the restaurant and I was done with it. He swore me to keep my mouth shut and let me go. Judy: And you didn't tell anyone? Kimba: No one. Nick: What about the Maldi Brothers? Kimba: If they squealed?

Who am I kidding? I'm talking to a cat. Scene: Kimba is giggling Kimba: Ok....I promise I won't go anywhere. But.....Nick? Scene: Nick turns. Kimba: Find em....whoever did it? Find them....(Kimba opens his claws) so I can give them free neutering before you put a bullet in their skull. Nick: The object kid is to take them alive...with neutering an option to buy.

Southbee: What's the nature of the investment? Apple: I thought I might take notice of their experimental development in new walnut trees for rodentury housing. The new strain of tree is supposed to be more resilient in high winds. The success would prove quite a windfall. Do your usual best and write the presentation package for it good Southbee. Southbee: Of course Sir. Scene: Nick and Judy are coming out of the orphanage as Apple Groves and Southbee emerge from the bank......

No eyes on the shooter! Scene: Nick leaps from behind the cruiser....bangs off a few rounds and jumps back to cover as a bullet smacks the sidewalk and kicks up debris! Judy: Are you nuts?!

Judy: You have a name for your tail? Nick: And you don't name yours Fluff? Scene: Judy looks at a text on her phone from Chief Bogo Judy: Bumper and Dozer are fine. Light cuts from the pipe bomb shrapnel. Nick: I did manage to save the only piece of the cruiser that didn't get destroyed. Want the rear view mirror? Judy: Funny Nick. I've been digging into the train conductor and Mister Groves? You will never guess in a hundred years who they are connected too. Nick: Sigh.....really Carrots? You're sure? Judy: Are you calling J. Edger Hippo stupid? Nick: No....Tu tu wearing drag queen yes......stupid? No. Just that I don't want to risk my gorgeous fox tail trying to talk to Mister Big again. Especially if we intend to suggest he has something to do with these shootings. Judy: We have to eliminate all possible sources no matter how angry someone might get. Nick: Remember the last time Judy? Does the idea of being “ice'd” scare you just a tineeeeee bit?” Judy: The answer? Obvious. Better get dressed. Scene Shift: Scene Location: Mister Big's estate, Iceberg Blvd, Tundratown Scene Time: Early Evening Scene: Judy and Nick pull up to the front gate and meet with Mister Big's Polar Bear Lieutenant, “Tall Pauley” Nick: Pauley...you're looking so “Griz” this evening. Is Mister Big home? Pauley: What it is Wilde? I'm not in the mood for your little pleasant talk. Judy: We're here on official business. Mister Big should be expecting us. Scene: Pauley dials the house and after a minute he turns around.... Pauley: Strip. Judy: What? Pauley: No one gets breaks......no one. Strip and hand over the pistols. Scene: Judy looks at Nick. Nick: Don't even bother Carrots. My smooth talking doesn't work here. Scene: Nick and Judy are walking towards the house with Pauley right on their backs... Judy: I'm going to make a note to Mister Big that you were absolutely inappropriate and heavy handed and took way too much sweet time feeling certain parts of me and..... Scene: Pauley pops open a small switch blade. Pauley: Yours......right? Nick: Fluff? I am shocked! You carrying a switchblade in violation of department regulations? In your undergarments? Judy: It was for an emergency...in case you went feral and I had to perform an emergency neutering. Nick: That.....was not funny. Judy: I don't carry that thing to be funny. Scene Shift: Scene Location: Mister Big's estate, Iceberg Blvd,Tundratown the family heated pool Scene: Judy and Nick walk into a room where a kiddy pool is set up like a high class expensive heated swimming pool. Mister Big is swimming around with water wings playing with his grandchildren, his daughter and his son-in-law. Mister Big's Daughter Angelica: Oh my god! Judy Hopps, it's been too long! Judy: Hi Angelica. Angelica: Meet the children. This is Mommy's best friend! This one is Anthony and this one is Selfina. Judy: Only a year....they grow too fast don't they? Angelica: They're just precious. Scene: Mister Big walks up and puts a robe on.... Mister Big: Angelica? Go with Babino, Daddy has business to discuss. Scene: Mister big kisses his grand children. Mister Big: Officer Hopps, Officer Wilde...sit...make yourselves comfortable. Before anything is spoken, allow me to express my family's deepest feelings for the unfortunate and despicable murder of your comrade. I may be a character somewhat held with little positive regard by Chief Bogo but I have never disrespected the police. We will offer floral arrangements and a gift of comfort to his partner. Nick: Thank you Mister Big. Honestly... Scene: Nick kisses Mister Big's hand. Judy: Except the time you tried to have me iced? Mister Big: Don't forget Officer Hopps that you just happened to unfortunately attach yourself at that time to a shifty, untrustworthy mug who I had told never to come back to my house. Of course now that Nick is an officer of the law? Things have obviously changed. Judy: You must know why we've come to see you Mister Big? Mister Big: Eeeh... Nick: Mister Big? We mean no disrespect. It's standard police work we assure you. Mister Big: No hesitation....just speak the truth. Judy: Several of the victims involved in the shootings Sir have been found having ties to you. Mister Big: I see....you probably speak of the White Lion cub, the train conductor and Mister Apple Groves. Yes....they have a relationship with me but....I would never do such a cowardly thing as have them killed at a distance by a sniper, I'm not a coward. When things must be settled....they are done by me “tooth to tooth” and if you intend to make such an accusation of cowardice? You will find me a most insulted personage....and insulters in my presence? They don't fair too good. Judy: Well you know me....I don't scare easy. So I will and must ask you Mister Big. Did you or any of your brutes have anything to do with the deaths of Leo and Snoween Kinnison, the train conductor or Mister Apple Groves? Scene: Nick cringes as “Tall Pauley” snarls in his ear. Mister Big: No....absolutely not. In fact? (snap fingers) Scene: Another Polar bear enters and presents file folders to Nick and Judy. Mister Big: Every rifle owned by me and all the ballistic information attached to them is in those files for your use. Please see they are returned when your investigation is over. I swear on the hearts of my beloved grandchildren that I did not do such acts of cowardice and if any of my boys decided to do such a thing against my expressed orders? Ask Shaky Bakes over there about not doing what you're told. Scene: A totally bald and nude polar bear stands shivering with a rubber plant leaf over his privates. Shaky Bakes: I'm sorry boss.... Mister Big: But my rival? He is capable of anything. Nick: You have a rival? Mister Big: Where have you been Wilde? You never seen a gangster movie? Of course I have a rival. Bugsy Moran from South Savanna Central, he would do any nasty and underhanded thing to discredit me...only....I don't like being discredited and he doesn't like the payback so he tends to do all his dirty work under the table. If I were you? I would go to him and rinse his potty mouth with carrot juice and acid. Judy: We'll see him after we finish reviewing your records. Thank you for being so up front Mister Big. Mister Big: Hopps? Scene: Judy turns around. Mister Big: I'm only being nice because of my daughter. If you were anyone else? You'd be swimming like Happy Feet Mumbles Gravano. Scene: Mister Big moves a hand and Tall Pauley reveals the ice pit and pulls out a block of ice in which “Happy Feet” Mumbles is encased in. Mister Big: I was told the Zootopia Police were looking for this mug. He ain't dead but he certainly won't be happy when he's defrosted. My gift......to you....as a subtle reminder of my generosity. Nick: That's......pretty overtly subtle? (Fade to black) (Fade out of black) Scene Shift: Scene Location: Chief Bogo's home Cactus Grove, Sahara Square Scene: It's late in the evening.

Scene: Wooford and Mange move up the street and find a rifle and a netting Gilli suit dropped on the street. Wooford moves to touch the suit but Mange pulls him back behind a car.

Scene Shift: Scene Location: Nick and Judy arriving in South Savanna Central at the Mice & Charlie Cartage Company Scene: A rabbit inside the building sees the police cruiser pull up and hops from the window waving his arms.... Rabbit: Cops! Cops! Cops! Operation Alice! Hurry up! (Sounds of stuff moving and machinery turning) Scene: Nick and Judy are knocking on the front door as another rabbit hops up to the door and turns with a gesture as if hoping things look perfect then turns to open the door. Rabbit: Evening officers. What can I do for you? Judy: Good evening Sir. We are here to ask some questions of a Mister Bugsey Moran. Rabbit: What for? Nick: If it involved you Sir? We'd ask you. Is Mister Moran here? Scene: Another rabbit comes into view... Rabbit: I'm Moran. What's your bother officer? You flat feet have been harrassing my establishment a lot as of late and I'm getting tired of it. Judy: Well....Sir....If you weren't doing shaddy deals, we wouldn't be having to watch you. We just need a little bit of your time. Rabbit: Well...you need a warrant to even be in here for any investigative reason. I run a respectable business there “lucky foot” so unless you show a piece of paper? Hop your fluffy butt out of my joint.....dig me? Scene: Nick walks past the rabbit. Rabbit: And where are you going fox?! Nick: What do you guys do here? Rabbit: We ship and receive. We run a respectable business. Keep your paws off everything you bushy tailed menace. Show me a warrant right now! Nick: You seem to forget that if a police officer has probable cause under Zootopia ordinance 57 section 2 sub-section 2d paragraph 5...he doesn't need a warrant. Scene: Nick stomps on the floor and a boot legger still pops up! Nick: Wow....guess this is a respectable pressure cooker for your reputable bunny pelt tanning business? Scene: Judy smirks while the Rabbit shrugs and smiles at her. Scene: Nick walks up to a wall, does a few paw slaps and the wall flips over to show shelves of illegal booze drums... Nick: Oh wow! Nice vintage. Scene: Every rabbit in the place pulls a gun. Nick: Now this? This is what I'd call....probable cause. Illegal still, illegal booze, and rabbits with guns on police officers. Scene: Nick walks up to the Rabbit next to Judy. Nick: Please stop trying to con and old con man ok? Where's Moran cute-see cotton tail? Scene: Bugsy Moran comes out of hiding. Moran: Put the pieces down boys. Quite perceptive there Wilde, you haven't changed at all. Judy: Of course you'd know him. Nick: I get around. Look Bugs...we're just here to to ask some questions on these shootings because we have to check what Mister Big told us. Moran: Screw that fat Shrew! Guess he's blaming me? Saying I use dirty tricks? Nick: Well? It's kind of obvious Bugsy. Bugsy: Bugsy Moran don't do cowardly things like murder innocent animals with snipers. I deal “tooth to tooth” but of course it's different with that pasta and lettice sucker...look at us Nick? We're rabbits! Polar bears.....rabbits.....it's like tennis balls against rackets here. Judy: So you have nothing to do with the shooter at all? Bugsy: What sob story did Big tell you “Lucky Foot” the old “The victims have connections to me and Moran is doing it to make me look bad.” And you're falling for it? He whacked his own grand ma ma and wrapped her in a skunk pelt, what does that tell you about him? Scene: Judy and Nick look at each other. Bugsy: You never knew? Old Mama Shrew ran the whole operation and had fat boy under her long snoot....till he dropped a safe on her...very messy. Nick: Look Bugsy...I'm going to be fair. You get rid of that still and the rack of booze in 24 hours and we'll shut up about your hutch here pulling pieces on us. In return though? We need your help to catch this guy since you got the numbers to cover the streets. Do we have a deal or do I need to do some more tap dancing? Bugsy: The old Nick hustle is alive and well. Nick: Just changed colors my cotton tail. Scene: Nick and Bugsy do a secret hand shake. Bugsy: Trust me officers.....that Fat Shrew is shucking you.

Bogo: Enter Scene: Officer Larry Purina dressed in his civilian clothes enters. He is sad, ears downcasted.... Larry: Chief? Can I talk to you? Scene: Bogo offers a chair then leans on the corner of his desk. Larry: I want to return to duty Chief.....Please....Something....anything.... Bogo: Admirable.....but not possible at the moment. It’s policy Larry. Larry: I have to do something Chief! Bogo: What can you add that we aren't covering Officer Purina? Larry: Something....just doing nothing is tearing me up! I smell him....I smell him on our clothes, I smell him in my bed...the bastard killed everything Gary was to me Chief! Sitting around makes me feel ashamed of myself...I should be out there hunting the bastard who took him from me down....(Lary sobs)....I don't know if I can live without him....Please? Scene: Chief Bogo takes Larry by the shoulders... Bogo: Larry?.....look at me... Scene: Larry looks at Bogo and sees the tears running down his face. Bogo: Losing Gary is tragedy enough....Losing you too would rip the heart out of this precinct....that's why we can't let you come back...not now. You're not hurting alone Son...and you're not going to be left alone. Gary would never allow you to go out when you could be a liability to the lives and safety of your brothers and sisters and I assure you...we will make sure that he didn't die for nothing. You have our word. But so help me Larry....if you do something stupid? Please tell me you won't do anything stupid? Scene: Larry shakes his head. Bogo: We're all here for you Son. Don't break our hearts. Scene: Larry turns towards the door to see Judy, nick, Wooford, Clawhowser and shockingly......Francine wearing a large cast over her left arm and shoulder... Francine: (sobbing) Come here Larry.....please? Scene: Larry shuffles into Francine's body and cries his eyes out.... Francine: His last thoughts were always of you baby....and all of us are thinking of you....we all hurt so much.....don't quit on us? Wolford: My door's always open Lair. Always. Judy: So's mine. Nick: You're not suffering alone. Clawhowser: This torn up cat toy's been with me since I was a baby....but.....you need it more than I do. We love you Larry. Scene: Larry takes the cat toy and hugs Clawhowser... Larry: (smiling) Thank you......all of you..... Francine: Come on Larry...I'll take you home and sit with you. Scene: Nick and Judy watch Francine hold Larry as they walk while Bogo returns to his desk. Nick closes the office door as Judy walks up to the desk. Judy: You do have a soft spot. Bogo: Please tell me this is important Hopps? Judy: Sir...we are so very relieved that you and your wife are alright. Bogo: The idea was the wife's actually...she suggested we set the guy up for a sucker punch because I seem to attract people with bad attitudes. So what do you have for me? Nick: We felt you needed to be kept informed of our progress. So far we found that the Kinnisons, the conductor and Mister Grove all had ties to Mister Big but there’s nothing solid to suggest his involvement nor the involvement of his close rival Bugsy Moran. Bogo: Are you sure of this? Hopps? Don’t think I wasn’t aware of your loose relationship with Mister Big’s daughter. Judy: Sir...I would never compromise an investigation for any relationship. Nick can swear to that. Bogo: Well….you can add two more to your investigation now. This morning after escaping us...he killed again. This time a grizzly bear and his wife, in their bed. The husband was killed. His wife is hanging on by a thread at the hospital. They have two cubs. Scene: Nick grimaces while Judy’s mouth quivers. Bogo: We recovered a long gun and some sort of camouflage material from the perp and sent it to the FBI (Furry Bureau of Investigations). The city counsel is beginning to push for martial law and police militarization...something everyone fears…..including me. If these two new cases are found to be connected to Mister Big? We will take both him and his rival Moran down….legalisms be damned. Nick: Chief….it may not be them at all...this could be someone acting totally on their own...and Martial Law? Giving the City counsel that much power? That’s bad all around, that is super dangerous… Bogo: Which is why I gave the two of you this tasking to start with. I expect you both to do your duty despite any personal feelings or thoughts. Clear Big and Moran or have an airtight case we can hand them with; anything I can have in my hands to avoid Martial Law. Hopefully it will not take long for the FBI to come back with some answers. They put the very best to analyze the evidence. You are both dismissed. Get the information on the latest victims from Clawhowser. Scene: Nick and Judy walk out of the office. Nick: Just great…..Martial Law? Those idiots in City Hall can’t even agree on the color of the sky for fricks sake. Judy: It might come to it if this creep keeps getting away to kill more innocent animals Nick. Scene: Nick raises a hand and stops Judy. Nick: Have you ever read the “Castle Bravo” directive for martial law Fluff? Judy: No…..They didn’t make it a subject at the academy. Nick: Gee….I thought you were the “studious bookworm” in this relationship? Come on. Scene: Nick takes Judy to an open desk where he types into the ZPD document archives and brings up the Castle Bravo protocols. Nick: Now...read Page 112, Section D, paragraph 8, Sub-paragraph 8 Charlie. Judy: In the event of a terrorist situation (I.E. Bombings, mass casualty causation, active shooter or shooters, or serial mauling of animals where the suspect or suspects are unidentified and remain at large for a period beyond 72 hours...For the public safety and mitigation of physical bodies and to benefit accurate targeting of enemy combatants….all predatory animals will be rounded up, placed in quarantine…….caged…...stripped…..muzzled….. collared…. Nick: Public Safety huh? Judy: They couldn’t?…..They wouldn’t?…..this policy was approved by Lionheart, he’s been gone for a year… Nick: It is standard policy Carrots….Lionheart or not. The City Counsel approves of it and it doesn’t matter if it’s a police officer, a cake baker, a firefighter or a floral arranger. And I’ll tell you right now….no one is putting hand one on my tail without getting hurt…..or killed…….no…….one. I won’t be shoved in a shipping cage and certainly no other predator is going to stand for this and now the city counsel is daring to speak of putting this in operation? Scene: Nick stares at Judy. Nick: We have to hurry this up. Scene: Nick leads Judy out. Nick: And keep that from happening at all costs. Scene Shift Scene Location: Bugsy Moran’s Cartage Company Time: Noon Scene: Bugsy Moran comes into the garage and meets with his main Lieutenant “Machine Gun” Jack McRabbit.

Pauley: I’ve already thought about it...he’d better be a damn good shot at a mile and a half….relax. Scene: Mister Big stops with Angelina and her two children. He gives her money. Mister Big: Angelina? Take the children and go spoil them. I’m going to buy some fruit for dinner and a cake. Scene: Angelina kisses her father on the cheek and takes Anthony and Selfina towards the department store on the other side of the street While Mister Big turns to a fruit vendor. Mister Big: (to vendor) I’ll have some of these grapes and please cut up an orange for me.

Scene: Sammy is running holding Angelina and the children in his paws. We see him run from the front as the Uzi carrying Polar Bear is torn up behind him from an automatic volley. Angelina and the children are screaming. The camera shows a rear view of Sammy as we see Pauley bound the perimeter wall ahead of him and the limo driver appears with an AR-15 and starts hammering away at the yet unseen target. Scene: Sammy is hit in the back multiple times as Pauley shows back up at the wall with a shotgun after dropping Mister Big. We see him fall in slow motion losing his grip on Angelina and the children. His body crashes down on them. Driver: NO! Scene: The Driver tries to bound the wall but Pauley pulls him down as bullets smack off the wall top. Pauley: Ten story, fifteen blocks down the main drag, left side…..blow the son of a bitch to dust! Scene: The driver and Pauley rise up and unload bullets and slug rounds into a building twenty yards in front of them!

Obviously his fallen body has killed Angelina and her children. The camera moves to show Mister Big walking through the gate of Little Rodentia wailing in Italian. Pauley: Mister Big? We have to get you out of here boss. Mister Big: crying in Italian Scene: Pauley scoops Mister Big up as the driver follows behind covering them with his rifle. (Fade out to black) (Fade in from black) Scene Location: The Furry Bureau of Investigations, Downtown Zootopia Time: Same time as the hits on Bugsy Moran and Mister Big Scene: A door unlocks and the investigating FBI agent, Agent Samaliel a gray arctic fox (artist Pentep from Sofurry.com) dressed in a lab coat with a pair of plastic chemical goggles on his forehead leads Chief Bogo, City Counsel representative Odem Plenty ( A hog ) his assistant Ben Schemer (A large rat) and J Edger Hippo the FBI Director down a hallway… Odem Plenty: I’m very amazed agent Samaliel that you were able to process the evidence so rapidly. Samaliel: It was an all night effort. We still have agents at the gun fight site looking for more evidence but what we have so far tells us a lot about this suspect and none of it is good… Scene: Suddenly a young white arctic fox comes flying down the hallway on a skateboard and wipes out into a trashcan. Samaliel: Excuse me please? Scene: Samaliel snatches the young fox by an ear. It’s his younger brother Pent (character of artist Pentep sofurry.com) Samaliel: What did I tell you about fooling around? Pent: It’s the perfect surface to test the new bearings I made for my board bro. Samaliel: Next time kid? Please watch what you’re doing? Get out of here? Scene: Pent runs off as Samaliel stands with his hands on his hips. Director Hippo: Agent? You are being way to light on that boy. Samaliel: Have too Sir. I don’t want to diss my best chemist. Scene: Samaliel leads everyone into the main lab. Chief Bogo: So what have you found out about this Perp? Samaliel: He’s not from Zootopia. Scene: Samaliel leans over the table where he has the suspect’s assault rifle laying. Samaliel: The prints on the rifle match no inhabitants. The caliber of this thing makes one of our army tanks look like a pea shooter. It’s no caliber in our registry, this thing rips up our cars, goes clear through our buildings and turns organs into mush. The rifle is of superior metals, wonderful engineering, machining that’s beyond anything Zootopians do. Scene: Samaliel directs the party to the netted guili suit. Samaliel: Now this is a stroke of brilliance. You can weave vegetation all through this net suit and “whoop” instant camouflage. We found body paint in one of the pockets, various animal call devices you can use to mimic deer, elk, moose, bears, pasture animals. Director Hippo: What’s your results Agent? Samaliel: We’re dealing with an apex predator and we’re all deli food. Chief Bogo: That’s not funny. Samaliel: Do you see me laughing Chief? We’re facing a highly advanced and intelligent “being” and he is most certainly not an animal. We tested fiber, hair and skin samples we found on this suit? He’s not even a primate….he’s a higher level life form with a high intelligence, superior motor skills, a fast thinking brain and absolutely ruthless. Compared to him and pardon me Mister City Counselman? We are all dinner on a plate with apples shoved in our mouths to this creep. Odem Plenty: What are our chances of stopping him? Samaliel: Right now? The edge is his. He can strike when and where he wishes and given his intelligence and character? Not soon enough. You’d have to be very lucky or reduce his access to appealing targets of opportunity. Right now from his track record...he’s avoiding small animals….after all….why waste a bullet on a mouse? Odem Plenty: It seems we have few options but to act decisively. Mister Director? I will be putting Castle Bravo into motion for the counsel’s approval. Chief Bogo: Mister Plenty, with all due respect Sir, I am begging you not to proceed with Martial Law, give the ZPD time to nail this perp. Odem Plenty: And how much time can we spare Chief? Another five bodies? Ten? A hundred? You heard Agent Samaliel, we must act now to reduce the available targets for this criminal to kill. Chief Bogo: Martial Law is not the solution Sir. Need I remind you that Castle Bravo would remove may good officers from my ranks to say nothing of the repercussions of tossing every predator animal in a cage for a want of community safety? Odem Plenty: Might I remind you Chief that this killer is himself a predation animal? His success may stir latent desires in our predator population. That is a risk I will not take. I will put the resolution to a debate and vote with a target launch of 48 hours. You have until then to stop this…...murdering beast. Scene: Chief Bogo stands still as others begin to leave. He then reacts to his cell phone alarm going off and looks down at his phone…. Chief Bogo: Dear…….gawd……. Scene Shift Scene Location: Avalanche Ave, Tundra Town Home of the murdered grizzly Bears Scene: Judy and Nick are looking over the bedroom where Judy finds a business notebook and scans through it… Judy: Nick? Nick: Found something Carrots? Judy: Bugsy Moran. Nick: Payment for delivery services….fifty grand. So now we have three tied to Mister Big and one tied to Bugsy. Judy: What do you think Nick? Honestly? Scene: Judy gets a text alert and she pulls her cell phone while Nick is talking. Nick: Doesn’t prove anything. If this was an honest turf war between two rival gangsters, it would be more intense than this. Mister Big’s honest about gangster movies Fluff...they do show the realistic side of gang warfare. There’s been no significant hits yet to make a real case that these two are going head to head with each other…. Scene: Nick turns to look at Judy and she looks both upset and horrified. Nick: Carrots? Carrots….your nose is twitching and you look sick. What’s up? Scene: Judy looks up. Judy: We have to go to Mister Big’s home right now. Scene: Judy is hurrying and half stumbling from being shocked as she walks towards the cruiser. Nick: Carrots? Carrots talk to me? You’re really scaring me Carrots, come on.” Scene: Judy starts the car and peals out even before Nick can get belted in…. Nick: Damn it Carrots! Talk to me?! Scene: Judy looks at Nick with tears in her eyes…. Judy: Angelina…...and her children…….they’re dead. Scene: Nick’s face shows shock. Scene: The cruiser heads for Mister Big’s home. (Fade to Black) End of Act 3 ACT 4 (Fade in from black) Scene Location: Mister Big’s Mansion in Tundra Town Time: Late Afternoon Scene: Judy and Nick are driving up to the front gate where Tall Pauley and another Polar Bear armed with an AR-15 are standing. They watch as the car comes to a stop and Judy comes out…. Judy: Pauley? You have to let me see Mister Big. Pauley: No one sees Mister Big now Hopps. No one. Judy: Pauley….please….please….I know what he’s about to do and I’m begging you as Angelina’s friend….please let me talk to him. Pauley: Didn’t you get the news Hopps? Bugsy Moran was hit just as we were. The Cartage Company got slaughtered. Right now Moran’s probably blaming the boss and the boss blames Moran. It’s too late for talking. Begging my French kid but we’re going to fricassee that hare, were gonna cut up that Bugs Bunny, We’re gonna anvil that dirty cotton tail’d bastard. Now…..get back in your little toy car and go away. Judy: No….I won’t…...I won’t! Scene: Pauley puts his 45 to Judy’s face. Pauley: I’m not asking you again Bunny…..go away…...NOW! Nick: Fluff! Judy: Get back in the car Nick! No! I won’t go because I know Angelina wouldn’t want me too and you know better Pauley….but if you don’t have a care left in your heart then PULL THE DAMNED TRIGGER! PULL IT! PULL IT! Scene: We see Pauley start to quiver in the lips and shake. Then he drops the pistol to his side. Pauley: Damn you, you crazy cotton tail. Alright…...alright…...but just you! Scene: Pauley looks at the other Bear. Pauley: You keep the fox in that car….he so much as twitches? Shoot his knee caps out. Scene: The Polar Bear points questionably at his rifle. Pauley: Oh hell….hold him up by his tail. He’ll get the message. Scene: Nick watches as Pauley takes Judy through the door. Scene Shift Scene Location: Mister Big’s office Scene: We see Judy coming slowly through the door as Pauley stays outside. She approaches Mister Big’s desk where the old Shrew is sobbing and scratching at the desk top. A picture of Angelina and the children are before him. Judy comes up to the desk and pauses for a moment before reaching out, carefully scoops Mister Big up with her hands and rubs her tear soaked face on him. Scene: Mister Big stands up in Judy’s hands and gently strokes her face. Mister Big: Bless you my child, but if you come in hopes that your pure display of love and sympathy would change my decision….I am sorry…. Note: Mister Big speaks in Italian with subtitles as he motions with “Godfather” like hand waving and gesturing…. “Il significato della mia vita è finito. C'è ora ma solo vendetta.” The meaning of my life is gone. There is now but only vendetta. “Porterò la rabbia della guerra nel mio cuore sulla città.” I will bring the rage of war in my heart upon the city. “Niente lo spegnerà se non la morte del bastardo” Nothing shall quench it but the death of the bastard “Tutto a modo mio morirà e brucerà all'inferno.” All in my way shall die and burn in hell. Scene: Judy shakes her head as she allows Mister Big to walk off her hands. She clasps them in desperate prayer… Judy: No….oh please god don’t do this Mister Big…..don’t do this…. Mister Big: Do you wish to be the first to die Officer Hopps? Do you wish to test my absolution? My affirmation? My resolve? It is done….the city burns or the bastard dies but I will have justice for my loved ones. Judy: I cry for your daughter and your grand children who can not speak! Angelina would be here right now...right in your face….begging you not to do this….and you know it! What good will come from it? What honor will they gain? Please…. Please I beg you for them…...don’t do this…..please? Give us a chance to give you justice…….please for dear god’s sake…….please…...please……..Think of what Angelina would say to you now…..I beg you….. Scene: Mister Big turns to the picture and puts his hand on it for a moment. Mister Big: Alright then….Alright…..only because you were a good friend to my daughter do I give this grace. But only for 24 hours Hopps…..24 hours…...if you fail to give me justice...I swear I will unleash a hell this city has not known before. If you try to stop me then? Both you and Wilde will die and I promise you...you will not die pleasently. Don’t…...fail…...me…… Scene: Judy kisses Mister Big’s hand then grabs the picture and kisses it as she sobs. Mister Big: God go with you my child…..and take care. Scene: We see Judy backing out of the office reverently bowing. We then see the cruiser driving away from the mansion.

News is playing of all that’s been happening and the city counsel’s impending debate to initiate the Castle Bravo Martial Law plan. Nick gets angry, shuts off the television and chucks the remote against a wall where it shatters. Judy doesn’t say anything as she watches Nick walk to a sort of awards display he has and he picks up a little metal dog muzzle… Nick: I doubt you ever noticed this. Judy: No….I try hard not to be pry-ish. Nick: This? This was the muzzle those bullies strapped to my puss when I wanted to be a scout. You know how much fear this caused me? How much humiliation that I had to throw my underwear away to keep my mom from seeing I had peed myself? And to think jerks like that fat porker Odem Plenty wants to put me in one of these torture devices again? Scene: Nick puts the muzzle back on the table where he looks at it. Nick: 24 hours….in 24 hours we’ll have a gang war between Mister Big and Bugsy Moran. Plenty will have what he always wanted...guys like me in a cage cringing in fear…. Scene: Nick flops into a chair. Nick: Carrots? Between being scared out of my whits, ticked off and torn three ways to Sunday over the past few days….I can’t think strait. I…..can’t….might as well just throw my badge in the damn trash and run for the hills because everything I’ve come to care about is about to be destroyed and I have no way or no idea of how to stop it! Scene: Judy takes a moment to look at Nick, then sighs and gives a slight smile. Judy: Do you know what my Dad would say if he were here Nick? Nick: Get away from that fox Judy, he’s unstable. Scene: Nick grabs his joke can of fox spray. Nick: Give me a good blast. Judy: Nick? My Dad would say….when life gives you the squeeze, you need a hug and right now you need a serious hug. Better yet? You need some expert stress relief. Stand up? Nick: What? Scene: Judy grabs Nick’s hands. Judy: I said….stand up. Scene: Nick stands up. Judy: Now take your clothes off. Nick: What? Judy: I Didn’t rabbit stutter Nick….take the clothes off…. Scene: Judy walks to the bathroom and comes out with a towel. Judy: Nick? Your clothes aren’t off? Nick: Carrots? I’m not in the mood for any “interspecies relations” right now, certainly not right now especilly…. Scene: Judy snatches Nick’s shirt and just pulls it off. Nick: What are you doing?! Judy: Do you want me to get rough with you? Clothes off! Nick: Well…..rough might be fun. Scene: Judy pulls her fox taiser. Nick: All right! Sheesh! Demanding aren’t we? Scene: Nick throws his pants and wraps the towel around his waist. Judy: Now…..lay down on the floor. Scene: Nick lays down on his stomach as Judy pulls the thick sock pads off her rabbit feet. Nick: What…..are you plotting? Scene: Judy flexes and moves her feet around. Judy: I’m going to introduce you to an old family remedy for stress and tight muscles called “The Irish Jack Rabbit Stomp” I used to do it when my father threw his back out working the planting fields on the farm. Nick: You’re…...going…...to…… Judy: Yeah….I’m going to use you for a dance floor. Trust me, when I get done with this? You’ll have to be poured into a glass to get you up. But first? Scene: Judy walks to Nick’s liquier case, grabs a bottle of old “CroMolly Sheep Skin” and pours a little in a glass…. Judy: You need some good old medication. Scene: Judy helps Nick to swallow the glass of booze then walks to the radio to find some music. She finds a rolling beat of music on an Irish music station. Judy: Perfect. Scene: Judy walks up to Nick, skips onto his back and begins to set herself into the mood as the music begins to stir up. She has her arms stretched out to the sides, her fists clenched, a big grin on her face, her eyes closed and her arms are moving up and down with the music.

Scene: The camera is rolling around and over Nick and Judy as she dances and works her feet thumping and twisting around Nick’s back. At one point, Judy is dancing with Nick’s bushy tail and soon the poor stressed out fox is looking loose as taffy, his tongue sticking out from his mouth and his face a look of relaxed happiness. Judy: Wooo Wooo! Yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa! Nick? You alright? Nick: Mmmmmmmm…….. Judy: I thought so. Scene: Judy dances over Nick’s shoulders and slowly rubs his head during a slow pause in the beat. When it picks up again, she’s off with the final flourish. It’s a rabbit River Dance with Judy dawning an Irish Skally Cap and a traditional Irish pipe in her mouth.

Scene: Nick is looking content with a smile on his face as he’s passed out and sleeping.

I had my usual reservations. Judy: Trust me Sir...it’s the only way we can know for sure if we’re dealing with a lone wolf suspect or this is part of rival gang offensive or something we’re not seeing. Officer Wilde was insistent that I push my plan to you. Bogo: He’s going to be putting his neck out hoping this killer won’t follow his established “MOE”. That he won’t put a bullet into that sweet girl like he’s murdered so many others. I’ve lost one officer under my authority...I will not lose anyone else.

Normally gets pointless. Who’d ever think that a fox and a bunny could work out so well together. You have yourself a rare find in a partner there Hopps. If you don’t capitalize on that...if you catch my drift?…..you’re nothing but a dumb bunny indeed. Scene: Bogo turns around.

Scene: We see the airliner touch down on the runway. We don’t see the characters who come up by way of a ladder as the plane turns slowly onto the taxi way. We see ZPD officers uniforms as they climb into the plane through a floor door in the cockpit and they make their way back to where this special and rare visitor to Zootopia is sitting. We see the officers from the front but the visitor and the person of her attention (Nick Wilde) is blocked by the airline seat. Visitor: Almost...the color could be a little more creamy though. Sound of someone fainting on the floor (Nick) Visitor: Someone should have warned him about me. Her manager: They brought the equipment they need to cover your voice. Sound of someone choking (Nick) Her Manager: Will someone get his tongue out of his throat before he chokes to death and ruins the plan? Background on this Visitor: You can go on YOU TUBE and find the old 1960’s Flintstone episode where Actress Ann Margaret appears as Annie Margrock. The character’s name in Point 223 is Annie and she’s a pink fox with long flowing red hair and she’s a gorgeous doll but she’s a plain down home Texas girl with a voice that can melt cars. Ann Margaret’s voice in that Flintstone episode was so sweet and dreamy, I couldn’t resist making a fox out of her. Annie’s come back home to Zootopia to give her suffering home a good old Texas “Buck up” against this terrorist. Nick has spent three hours worth of prep to come off as an Annie look-a-like. Scene: We see the Airliner as it’s coming to a stop at the prepared reception area and ZNN announcers are covering the arrival from a platform and from the crowd of screaming, cheering animals. Scene: Inside the plane, Nick and the ZPD officers with him are getting staged with Annie offering him last minute pointers. Annie: Officer Wilde? You all right? Nick: I’m finding it a little hard to concentrate...you want to talk more? Annie: Shug….less of me…and...more me? Now remember….a lot of smiles, a lot of hugs, a lot of caring and a lot of looking tough. Any worries? Nick: If my partner finds out about us? She’ll kill me. Scene: Annie pulls out a small spray can and slips it into Nick’s dress pocket. Nick: What’s that? Annie: Wolf spray shug….and trust me, you’ll probably need it. Scene: Annie points through the arrival door window at the crowd and sure enough there’s wolves going nuts. Nick: “gulp”…I hope they don’t go exploring. Annie: Remember Nick….you don’t say a word, I’ll do all the talking. Scene: Nick’s maw is quivering and smacking when Annie closes her hands around it. Annie: Nick? Breath. Scene: Annie backs away as the door opens up and the sound of the crowd down below going crazy breaks into the cabin. Scene: Judy watches from below as the ZPD officers and Nick start down the boarding ladder… Judy: Here we go! Showtime! Scene: Nick is smiling, waving and blowing kisses as he comes down the ladder and greets the small reception party at the bottom. Among them is Kimba the White Lion dressed as a little girl and officer Clawhouser. Kimba has a bouquet of red and pink roses in his hands. Kimba gives a really “soupy” performance.
