Underground Lair

12 Hours Earlier...

*captured by Blowhole's minions, Private once again sits in the presence of Dr. Blowhole...tied up in a chair*

Private: "Will Ты just do whatever it is Ты are gonna do to me?!"

Blowhole: "Oh...I do not intend to harm you, Private."

Private: "Then...what are Ты gonna do to me?"

Blowhole: "Oh. I'm not going to do anything. You on the other hand are going to go after those penguins & bring them to me."

Private: "And why would I do that?"

Blowhole: "Because, Private, there is someone I want Ты to meet..."

Private: "What are Ты talking about?"

Blowhole: "It was a tragic день that leopard печать attacked..."

Private: "What does that have to do with anything?"

Blowhole: "Well, Private...The reason you're going to bring me those penguins is because it's the only way you're going to save...her..." *presses button*

*a light is shown on a cage hanging from the ceiling, a bruised female пингвин is inside of it...*

Private: "How did...It can't...That's imposs--"

Blowhole: "Oh, but it is possible Private."

Private: "But...How?! Let her go!"

Blowhole: "I will...as soon as Ты bring me those penguins."

Private: "Why are Ты doing this to me!?"

Blowhole: "As if Ты don't know..."

Private: *thinks a second, then says slowly* "You...You were the one who sent that leopard seal..."

Blowhole: "Right Ты are, Private."

Private: "But...WHY!?"

Blowhole: "Well, there was sort of a mix up that day. I intended for the печать to take Skipper's mother, to lure him to me, but then these other penguins come & ruin everything! He brought me the wrong penguin. And I figured that I might as well use what I got..."

Private: "Just let her go! I'll do anything Ты want! Just let her go!"

Blowhole: "Bring those penguins to me."

Private: "...Fine."

That Afternoon...

Skipper: "...So, he was after my mom?"

Private: "Afraid so. I'm sorry."

Skipper: "I understand...but...How do I know we can trust you?"

Private: "I don't know, you're just gonna have to take my word for it."

Others: ...

Private: "Please. I'm not making this up. Ты have to help me save my mother."
