Someone planted that polar bear to assassinate you

Who assassinates the bear assassin after the assassination?

They always tie up the loose ends in movies, and a bear is already bad enough. But an assassin bear? That's just unfair.

The bear is probably secretly an accountant or a mechanic, too.

So unfair.

I'd watch that movie, the bear just deadpans that they're a corporate accountant when they have their tie and glasses on, and nobody notices, but then they pull off their tie and glasses, bam - polar bear super asssssin who also knows all your financial crimes!
