Nadya relents, deciding Kermit belongs with them and drops the charges. The Muppet tour concludes at the Gulag where Constantine and Badguy are part of the prison show ("Together Again (Again)").

While the frog tries to convince his captors of his true identity, Constantine and Dominic are free to carry out their plan to steal London's crown jewels.Muppets Most Wanted / Film synopsis

The deal includes the Muppet characters and licensing rights to the Muppet film and television library, as well as all the Bear in the Big Blue House characters, television library, copyrights and trademarks.
