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.
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.]
Go back to the forest, predator!
I'm from the savannah!
Gazelle
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.]
That's not my Emmitt. [Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]
Gazelle
We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love.
Chief Bogo
Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us.
Judy
The mayor? Why?
Chief Bogo
It would seem you've arrived.
Judy
Clawhauser? What are you doing?
Clawhauser
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.
Judy
What?
Clawhauser
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.]
Chief Bogo
Hopps!
Judy
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.
Judy
I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it.
Chief Bogo
Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you.
Judy
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]
Chief Bogo
Hopps.
Bellwether
Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit.
Judy
Thank you for the opportunity. [walks out of Bellwether's office in shame]
