In Chief Bogo's office, he was really giving both Judy and The Bad Guys an earful.

Bogo:Abandoning your post, inciting a scurry, reckless endangerment of rodents but - to be fair - you did stop a master criminal from stealing two-dozen moldy onions.

Judy:Mmm, hate to disagree with you, sir, but those aren't onions. Those are a crocus variety called Midnicampum holicithius. They're a Class С botanical, sir. Well, I grew up in a family where plant husbandry was kind of a thing--

Wolf pinched the bridge of his nose.

Wolf:You're not exactly helping your case, fluffbutt.

Bogo:Shut your tiny mouth now! 

He put the bag away.

Judy Hopps:Sir, we got the bad guy. That's my job! And their job, too!

Chief Bogo:Your job is putting tickets on parked cars!

He then turned to The Bad Guys.

Bogo:And you lot have no business here!

Then another cop, Clawhauser, came on the intercom.

Clawhauser:Chief, uh, Mrs. Otterton's here to see you again.

Bogo:Not now.

Clawhauser:Okay, I just didn't know if you wanted to take it this time, she seems really upset...

Bogo:NOT! NOW!

Diane:Someone's got anger problems.

Judy:Sir, I don't wanna be a meter maid. I wanna be a real cop.

Shark:And helping people is what WE do.

Bogo:(To Judy)Do you think the Mayor asked what I wanted when he assigned you to me?!

Judy: But, sir, if-

Bogo:Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and your insipid dreams magically come true! So let. It. Go.

Later, the aforementioned Mrs.Otterton came in, with Clawhauser behind her.

Mrs.Otterton:Chief Bogo, please! Five minutes of your time, please!

Clawhauser:I'm sorry, sir... I tried to stop her, she's super slippery... I gotta go sit down...

Julie:I did not think I'd see a slow cheetah in my life, but here we are...

Bogo:Ma'am, as I've told you, we're doing everything we can.

Mrs. Otterton held up a picture of her husband.

Mrs. Otterton:My husband has been missing for ten days. His name is Emmitt Otterton.

Bogo:Yes, I know.

Mrs. Otterton:He's a florist. We have two beautiful children. He would never just disappear.

Chief Bogo:Ma'am, our detectives are very busy.

Mrs. Otterton:Please! There's gotta be somebody to find my Emmitt.

Wolf:Poor lady sounds really distressed. Not that I blame her.

Chief Bogo:Mrs. Otterton-

Judy got down from her chair.

Judy:I will find him.

Wolf:So will we.

Snake:Wolf, what are you doing?

Mrs.Otterton was so happy.

Mrs.Otterton:Oh, thank you!

She proceeded to hug both Wolf and Judy.

Mrs.Otterton:Bless you, bless you both!

Judy was a little nervous and returned the hug. Wolf's tail began to slightly wag. Mrs.Otterton then let go.

Mrs. Otterton:Take this, find my Emmitt. Bring him home to me and my babies, please.

Bogo:Ahem! Mrs. Otterton, please wait out here.

Mrs. Otterton:Of course. Oh, thank you all so much.

Chief Bogo:One second.

Mrs.Otterton stepped out of the room and Bogo closed the door. He had a very irritated look on his face.

Bogo:You're... fired. (To The Bad Guys) And you lot, out.

Everyone was surprised.

Judy:What?

Julie:Why?

Bogo:(To Judy)Insubordination! (To The Bad Guys) And interfering with police matters! Now, I'm going to open this door and you're going to tell that otter you're a former meter maid and vigilantes with delusions of grandeur who will not be taking the case.

However, when Bogo, opened the door again, standing with Mrs.Otterton, was assistant Mayor Bellwether.

Bellwether:I just heard Officer Hopps is taking the case!

Bogo was surprised and nervously smiled.

Bogo:Assistant Mayor Bellwether!

Bellwether took her phone out and texting.

Bellwether:The mammal inclusion initiative is really starting to pay off.(Chuckles) Mayor Lionheart is just gonna be so jazzed!

Bogo: No, no. Let's not tell the mayor just yet!

Julie was chuckling at how Chief Bogo trying to stop them, yet his plans just went down the drain.

Bellwether:And sent it, and it is done, so I did do that.

Bogo facepalms, annoyed.

Bellwether:All right, well, I'd say the case is in good hands. (To Judy) Us little guys really need to... stick together, right?

Judy:Like glue.

Bellwether:(Laughs)Good one. Yeah. Just call me if you ever need anything, okay? You've always got a friend at City Hall, Judy. Alright. Bye-bye! Good luck to all of you.

Judy:Thank you, ma'am.

Wolf:You won't be disappointed.

Bogo kept his fake smile on until he closed the door.

Bogo:I will give you 48 hours.

Judy:(stoked and excited)Yes!

Bogo:That's two days to find Emmitt Otterton.

Judy:Okay.

Bogo: But! You strike out, you resign.(To Bad Guys) And you guys will be sent packing.

Judy:Oh. Uh... Okay. Deal.

Bogo: Splendid. Clawhauser will give you the complete case file.

They all exited the office. Snake smacked Wolf in the back of the head.

Wolf:Ow! What?

Snake:We're in the middle of our own problems and you decided to take a case like this?

Wolf:You do know Terrence could be involved in this.

Shark:What makes you say that?

Wolf:Diane, when was that report about Terrence originally played?

Diane:A few weeks ago.

Wolf:And Judy, how long have these missing mammal cases been happening?

Judy:A few weeks.

Wolf:Seeing the connection?.

Piranha:You really sure about this boss?

Diane:Actually, I think Wolf may be on to something.

Tarantula:Really?

Diane:I guess it is possible that Terrance just happened to be in town when this started...but I don't like coincidences.

Julie:Really sure about this, Dad?

Wolf:It's a longshot, but worth a try.

They went to Clawhauser for the file.

Clawhauser:Here you go! One missing otter!

The group was surprised to see that there was very little information, with there only being one paper about his last known location.

Judy:That's it?!

Clawhauser:Yikes! That is the smallest case file I've ever seen. Leads: none, witnesses: none, and you're not in the computer system yet, so resources: none!

Judy's ears dropped as Clawhauser laughed.

Clawhauser:Oh, I hope you didn't stake your career on cracking this one!

The group glared at him

Diane:Not. Helping.

Judy:Okay. Last known sighting.

They were distracted by Clawhauser slurping his soda.

Snake:Do you mind?

Judy then had an idea. She took Clawhauser's soda bottle and used it as a magnifying glass. What she saw was their first real lead.

Judy:Pawpsicle...

Clawhauser:The murder weapon...

Judy:"Get your pawpsicle..."

Wolf facepalmed.

Wolf:Oh don't tell me...

Judy:Yep. We have our lead. And I got just the idea to get him to help...
