Bellwether [after Judy and Nick have been thrown into the pit in the museum by one of Bellwether's henchmen; the suitcase with the dart gun and serum pellet knocked out of their hands]
Well, you should have just stayed at the carrot farm, huh? It really is too bad, I... I did like you.
What are you gonna do? Kill me?
Bellwether [laughs]
No, of course not. [aims the dart gun at Nick, evilly] He is.
[Bellwether shoots Nick with a serum pellet; he falls to the floor, writhing]
No! Oh, Nick!
Bellwether [talking via cellphone, fake panicked]
Yes? Police? There's a savage fox in Natural History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please, hurry!
No, Nick. Don't you do this, fight it.
Bellwether Oh, but he can't help it. Can he? Since preds are just... biologically predisposed to be savages.
Bellwether [Nick turns feral and attacks Judy. She tries to run away and defend herself by throwing a stuffed fawn at him. She then cowers by the wall as Nick rips the fawn to pieces with his teeth]
Gosh! Think of the headlines: "Hero cop killed by savage fox"!
So that's it? Prey fears predator and you stay in power?
Bellwether Yeah. Pretty much.
Bellwether Fear always works! And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way.
[as Nick closes in on her, growling]
Oh, Nick... No...
Bellwether Bye-bye, bunny.
[Nick locks his jaws on Judy's neck. Judy screams excruciatingly. However, after a short pause, Nick releases her and smiles] [sticks out her tongue; theatrically]
Bleh! Blood! Blood! Blood! And death!
All right, you know, you're milking it. Besides, I think we got it. [to Bellwether] I think we got it! We got it up there, thank you, Yakety-Yak! You've laid it all out beautifully!
Bellwether [looks at the dart gun, shocked]
What?
Yeah, oh, are, are you looking for the serum? [reaches into his shirt pocket and shows the real serum pellet] Well, it's right here.
What have you got in the weapon there? [Bellwether opens the dart gun's slot and discovers it is loaded with blueberries] Those are blueberries. From my family's farm!
[tastes the blueberry and blows a kiss]
Mwah! They are delicious. You should try some.
Bellwether [growls furiously, closing the gun]
I framed Lionheart, I can frame you too! It's my word against yours.
Oooh! Actually... [pulls out her carrot pen and plays back Bellwether's confession]
Bellwether [through carrot pen]
"And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way."
It's your word against yours.
Bellwether [her jaw drops, dumbfounded]
Huh?
It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.
[panicking, Bellwether tries to run, but finds herself already surrounded by Chief Bogo and the ZPD]

More bad news in the city gripped by fear. A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals.
PM Peter Moosebridge
Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest. [Gazelle is seen in front of a protest peace rally. Judy is seen between a frantic pig and a female leopard, trying to break up the argument.]
FP Frantic pig
[with hostility]
Go back to the forest, predator!
FL Female leopard
[holding up a sign; offended]
I'm from the savannah!
[interviewed]
Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful, diverse city where we celebrate our differences. [looks behind herself for a moment and gestures] This is not the Zootopia I know. [Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.] The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. [On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.] We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages. [In the asylum, Mrs. Otterton sees her husband in his savage state, tethered to a pole in the middle of the room, snarling and pacing. Judy walks up to her and puts her hand on her shoulder.]
O Mrs. Otterton
[sadly]
That's not my Emmitt. [Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]
We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love.
Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us.
It would seem you've arrived.
[follows Bogo, and sees Clawhauser packing his stuff because he was demoted]
Clawhauser? What are you doing?
[sadly]
Um, they thought it would be better if a predator, such as myself, wasn't the first face that you see when you walk into the ZPD.
They're gonna move me to records. It's downstairs. It's by the boiler. [Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty. Bogo calls to her by the door.]
[The scene changes to Bellwether’s office, where Judy is holding a ZPD poster displaying her smiling face. She puts it down and looks at Bellwether.]
Um, I don't understand.
Bellwether Our city is 90% prey, Judy, and right now, they're just really scared. You're a hero to them. They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD.
[looks at the cover and gives thought]
I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it.
Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you.
With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge. [takes off her badge]
Bellwether [also shocked]
Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit.
[puts her badge on the desk]
Thank you for the opportunity. [walks out of Bellwether's office in shame]
Bellwether [After their subway car crashes and burns, Judy and Nick enter the Natural History Museum as a shortcut to the ZPD, with the case with the dart gun and the serum pellet inside as evidence. Suddenly, they stop because Bellwether is arriving with two sheep officials.]
Judy! Judy!
Mayor Bellwether! We found out what's happening. Someone's darting predators with a serum. That's what's making them go savage.
Bellwether I'm so proud of you, Judy. You did just a super job.
Thank you, ma'am. [starts to hand Bellwether the case, but suddenly, she takes it away in surprised suspicion] How did you know where to find us?
Bellwether I'll go ahead, and I'll take that case now.
[uneasily]
Uh, you know what? I think Nick and I will just take this to the ZPD.
JA Judy and Nick
[The duo are about to leave, but a giant ram blocks their way.]
Run.
Bellwether [to her henchmen]
Get them.
