Zootopia | Taekook 💜

21

[Jungkook and Tae run out of the subway station, which leads them inside the Natural History Museum, which is closed. The two run through the many exhibits and before long find themselves looking at the exit that will lead them to the ZPD.]

Jungkook: Look, there it is! [Then, they are stopped by a voice.]
Dawn Bellwether: Jungkook! Jungkook! [They see Bellwether with two Sheep Cops urgently heading their way.]
Jungkook: Mayor Bellwether!
[The two run to her.] We found out what's happening. Someone's darting predators with a serum. That's what's making them go savage!

Dawn Bellwether: I'm so proud of you, Jungkook. You did just a super job.
Jungkook: Thank you, ma'am! [Jungkook starts to hand over the gun case over to Bellwether. However, he stops and looks at her in suspicious confusion.]
...How did you know where to find us?

Dawn Bellwether: I'll go ahead and take that case, now.
[Bellwether insistently reaches over for the case, but Jungkook holds onto it tighter. Fear starts to overtake Jungkook and Tae as they start to slowly walk away from Bellwether.]
Jungkook: Uh, you know what, I think Hyung and I will just take this to the ZPD.
[They turn around to leave only to find a large, sinister-looking ram blocking their way. He stares at them menacingly and cracks his neck, ready to attack.]

Jungkook & Taehyung: Run! [Jungkook and Tae run back into the museum, with Jungkook holding onto the case for dear life.]

Dawn Bellwether: [angrily] Get them!
[The three rams go after Jungkook and Tae, who try to lose them through a closed section of the museum where many exhibit pieces are laying on the floor. Jungkook trips on a tusk display, cutting his leg badly. He falls over, grunting in pain.]

Taehyung: Carrots!
[Tae goes back to Jungkook.]
I got you. Come here.
[Tae quickly carries him over to a nearby wall. Jungkook sits back wincing over his cut.]
Okay, just relax.
[He takes out his handkerchief to wrap Jungkook's leg. He accidentally spills a few blueberries on the floor]
Whoops! Blueberry?
Jungkook: [in pain] Pass.

[Tae eats the blueberry and tends to his leg. They hear Bellwether's voice suddenly calls out. Her silhouette is shown behind the curtain.]
D

awn Bellwether: Come on out, Jungkook.

Jungkook:
[whispers, giving the case to Tae]
Take the case. Get it to Chief Yoongi.
Taehyung: [whispers] I'm not gonna leave you behind; that's not happening.
Jungkook: I can't walk!
Taehyung: [looking around] Just... We'll think of something.
[The two gasp as Bellwether and her rams enter the restricted area. Bellwether tries to get Jungkook to surrender.]

Dawn Bellwether: Did you forget we're on the same team, Jungkook! Underestimated, underappreciated... Aren't you sick of it?
[She motions to the rams to spread out before continuing]
Predators - they may be strong and loud, but prey outnumber predators ten-to-one.
[Bellwether notices a rabbit-shaped shadow on the wall. She snaps her fingers to one of the rams and points to where she thinks Jungkook is.]
Think of it - 90% of the population united against a common enemy. We'll be unstoppable.
[The ram pounces on the source of the shadow, only to find a rabbit mannequin for an exhibit. A sudden clanging is heard and Bellwether sees Jungkook and Tae trying to make a break for the exit.]
Dawn Bellwether: Over there! [the rams run after the pair]

[Tae carries Jungkook as they try to make it out as fast as they can, but are slowed by Jungkook's injury. The big ram quickly catches up to Jungkook and Tae, and headbutts them into one of the museum's exhibit pits, making them lose their hold on the gun case. The case flies to the floor and Bellwether retrieves it. Jungkook and Tae trapped get up. Bellwether chuckles unpleasantly as she goes up to the display looking down at them.]

Dawn Bellwether: Well, you should have just stayed on the carrot farm, huh? It really is too bad, I... I did like you.
Jungkook: What are you gonna do? Kill me?
Dawn Bellwether: [chuckles] Oh, no, of course not, ha ha.
[She takes out the dart gun with an evil grin.]
He will!
[Bellwether fires the dart gun and the serum pellet hits Tae on the neck, leaving a blue stain. He starts to grunt and groan in pain.]

Jungkook: No! Oh, Hyung!
Dawn Bellwether:
[On the phone, in a fake panicked tone of voice]
Yes, police?! There's a savage fox in the Natural History Museum! Officer Jeon is down! Please hurry!

Jungkook: No, Tae! Don't do this; fight it!
Dawn Bellwether: [chuckles] Oh, but he can't help it, can he? Since predators are just "biologically predisposed" to be savages.

[Tae starts to growl slowly transforming into his animal form and Jungkook looks down to see Tae's eye looking straight at him menacingly. Jungkook backs away in fear and starts to run away. Tae goes down on all fours, bearing his teeth at Jungkook before he starts chasing him down like a wild fox. Jungkook tries to slow Tae down by throwing a deer mannequin at him.]

Dawn Bellwether: [laughs evilly] Gosh, think of the headlines! "Hero Cop Killed by Savage Fox!"
[Jungkook backs up to a wall, gasping in fear as Tae tears the dummy to pieces with his teeth, then stares at him.]

Jungkook: So that's it? Prey fears predators and you stay in power?
Dawn Bellwether: Yeah, pretty much.
Jungkook: It won't work!
Dawn Bellwether: Fear always works! And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way.
[Jungkook gasps as Tae slowly closes in snarling, growling, and ready to pounce. He is trapped.]

Jungkook: Oh, Hyung... no...
Dawn Bellwether: [chuckles, then glares] Bye-bye, Bunny.
[Tae finally closes in on the frightened Jungkook, and lunges at him, biting his neck. Jungkook lets out a blood-curdling scream, and Bellwether looks on, pleased at her own work. Then...]

Jungkook: [sticks out his tongue] Bleugh!
[Taehyung lets go of Jungkook's neck and backs away, chuckling at Jungkook's playful acting. Jungkook gestures, imitating blood spurting out, in a similar vein to how he was acting in the play in his childhood.]
Blood! Blood! Blood!
[flopping back down] And... death.

Taehyung: [getting back to his feet and transforming back]
All right, you know, you're milking it. [Bellwether gives a stunned look] Besides, I think we got it.
[shouts out as he stands up and Jungkook and Tae put their arms around each other]
I think we got it! We got it up there! Thank you, yackety-yak! You laid it all out beautifully!

Dawn Bellwether: [looks at her dart gun, confused] What?
Taehyung: Yeah, oh, are, are you looking for the serum?
[He pulls the serum pellet out from his shirt pocket] Well, it's right here.
[Puts in back in his pocket]

Jungkook: What you've got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries. From my family's farm!
[Bellwether opens the chamber of the dart gun and sees the ammo has been replaced with blueberries.]

Taehyung: [tastes the blueberry where he's been hit and blows a kiss] Mwah! They are delicious, you should try some.
Dawn Bellwether:
[growls furiously, closing the gun]
I framed Lionheart, I can frame you too! [adjusts her glasses primly]
It's my word against yours.

Jungkook: Ooh! Actually...
[Jungkook pulls out his carrot pen and plays back Bellwether's crazed speech.]
Dawn Bellwether's voice:
[Through carrot pen]
And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way.
Jungkook: ...it's your word against yours.

Dawn Bellwether: [her jaw drops; shocked and dumbfounded] Huh? [Jungkook and Tae smile triumphantly.]
Jungkook: It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.
[Foiled and caught red-hoofed, Bellwether starts to back away and try to make a run for it, but she is surrounded by Chief Yoongi and the ZPD, who have heard everything. Police cars can be seen surrounding the entrance outside. Bellwether and her ram henchman raise their arms in defeat and fear. Bellwether sighs and looks down lowering her arms.]
