      Karabasov. I suppose, mister Mayor, you have received my message.

      Malyshev. I’ve signed all the papers. The building site is yours.

      Karabasov. I don’t want you to peg me as an enemy. I offer you cooperation.

      Malyshev. Bring my daughter back to me.

      Karabasov. I hope you learnt your lesson.

      Malyshev. Why have you rounded up stray animals?

      Karabasov. It was Khorkov’s call. He suggested to kill them humanely.

      Khorkov. Tonight we are going to clean our district of these rogues!

      Malyshev. Karabasov. If you want to keep running your business in this city, I insist that you don’t put these animals down. We will the means to deal with them without having to kill.

      Karabasov. If you really agree to cooperate, I’ll meet you halfway and keep these stray beasts alive.

      Malyshev. It is as good as a deal. Where is my daughter?

      The door opens, the major and Greta rush in. Th major takes aim at Karabasov. Greta cuts off Khorkov’s escape.

      Suvorov. Police! Put your hands behind your head, you are under arrest.

      Karabasov. What a stunt.

      Suvorov. Hold it right there, Karabasov.

      Khorkov. Easy, doggy, easy. Avoid abrupt movements.

      Greta. Grrr…

      Nyuta, Yumi and Toy come in.

      Nyuta. Dad!

      Malyshev. Nyuta, sweetheart.

      Suvorov. I will call for backup.

      Corkscrew springs up behind Suvorov’s back and strikes him over the head with a bludgeon. The policeman falls unconscious. Corkscrew takes his gun. Khorkov quickly brings out his pistol and aims at Yumi.

      Khorkov (to Greta). Don’t you move, you dirty dog, or I will blow your son’s head off.

      Greta steps back, trying to shield Yumi with her body.

      Karabasov. Are there any other policemen?

      Corkscrew. He came here alone.

      Karabasov. Well, well. Who do we have here? An unwanted witness. Mister Mayor, have I told you yet, what would happen if you go to the police?

      Suvorov regains consciousness, keeps lying and moans with pain.

      Malyshev. He is my cousin. He is local police officer in a village. Let us go, Karabasov.

      Karabasov. Bad luck, Mayor. We don’t need witnesses.

      Malyshev. You’ve got everything you want.

      Khorkov. We have to change our plan, boss.

      Karabasov. We have crossed the Rubicon, Khorkov. This city needs a new mayor.

      Khorkov. Corkscrew!

      Corkscrew cocks the gun and aims at Malyshev. At this very moment the crow flies into the open door, pecks Corkscrew at his head. Pirate runs into the room right after her, sinks his teeth into Corkscrew’s arm and knocks him on the floor. Khorkov manages to shoot Pirate. Greta falls upon Khorkov and neutralize him. Yumi and Toy come down upon Karabasov, Malyshev strikes him down to the floor with a punch.

      Malyshev. It’s a judgement on you for my daughter, you villain.

      Suvorov stands up, ties Corkscrew up, then puts the handcuffs on Khorkov and Karabasov. Pirate lies on the floor, he is wounded. The mice run in, the titmouse comes flying.

      Yin. We activated the security alarm, the police will be here soon.

      Yang. It was my idea!

      Titmouse. You both did a great job. Greta, I am so glad to see you and Yumi.

      Greta. Thank you for your help, neighbor.

      Malyshev. Nyuta, are you all right?

      Nyuta. I’m fine. Whose dog is this?

      Yumi. This is Pirate. How did he get here?

      Malyshev. Pirate saved our lives.

      Major walks up to Pirate and examines him.

      Suvorov. How can it be Pirate? It is Thunder, a police dog. Here is the name on his collar.
