Tea with a criminal
SCENE 72
INT. GRINDELWALD'S HIDEOUT, DRAWING ROOM—END OF DAY
QUEENIE is on the sofa, beside a table of tea and cakes. She sets down her
empty teacup. We feel her slight awkwardness as it is instantly refilled by ROSIER.
Tens griped her sister's hand.
QUEENIE
Oh, no, thank you. You've been real kind, but my sister Tina's
probably worried sick about me, you know. Banging on all the doors
and things, so I think I'd better be going.
"Yes darling please get out of there." Jacob gripes her other hand.
The whole movie has completely shaken him to the core.
Was this his and queenie's future...
No over his dead body
ROSIER
But you haven't met your host.
QUEENIE
(a little wistfully)
Oh, are you married?
ROSIER
(smiling)
Let's say . . . deeply committed.
QUEENIE
(innocent)
You see, I can't tell if you're making a joke or if you're just . . . French.
A few laughs
ROSIER laughs and leaves. QUEENIE is confused. An enchanted teapot
hovering in midair nudges her, intent on refilling her cup.
QUEENIE
(to the teapot)
Hey, knock it off.
The door opens. GRINDELWALD enters. QUEENIE stands and the teapot and
cups smash to the ground. She draws her wand and aims it at GRINDELWALD.
The room is in silence.
Jacob now has his arms around queenie, as if holding her could protect her from that vile man.
QUEENIE
You stay right there. I know what you are.
He walks slowly toward her.
GRINDELWALD
Queenie, we are not here to hurt you. We only want to help you.
You're so very, very far from home. Far away from everything you
love. Everything that was comfortable.
QUEENIE stares, keeping her wand raised.
"Queenie don't listen to anything he has to say, get out of there, please." Tena was desperately hoping her sister would be okay.
Not being able to stand seeing tens so distressed, forgetting the audience around them, newt pulled tens into his arms and held her there.
He pressed a kiss into her hair.
His heart was in his throat.
GRINDELWALD
I would never see you harmed, ever. It is not your fault that your
sister is an Auror. I wish you were working with me now towards a world where we wizards are free to live openly, and to love freely.
GRINDELWALD'S hand touches her wand-tip and lowers it.
GRINDELWALD
You are an innocent. So go now. Leave this place.
No one said a word.
People were stunned.
Until the silence was broken
"Arrest her"
Looks were thrown towards the travers.
Before anyone could react Queenie had been pulled behind Jacob, Newt , Tina and surprisingly both Theseus and Leta also had there Wanda pointed at travers.
Suddenly the voice filled the room again.
"Sorry everyone went out for coffee, now there will be no fighting in my cinema, please the last group I had in here got into a fight and I swear I was washing blood out of the carpet for a month, travers sit down and eat your popcorn, oh and just for insurance..."
All the aruors and travers wands had suddenly vanished.
"I will be keeping these till the end of the movie."
SCENE 73
INT. HOGWARTS, ROOM OF REQUIREMENT—NIGHT
A spartan room. A large object stands against the wall, covered in black velvet.
DUMBLEDORE stands thinking for a moment, then approaches the covered
object and pulls the curtain down.
The Mirror of Erised is revealed. He has not looked into it for many years. Bracing himself, he now does so.
We see TEENAGE DUMBLEDORE and TEENAGE GRINDELWALD facing
each other in a barn. Both score their palms with their wands. Now bleeding,
they interlace their hands . . .
Dumbledore doesn't notice a stray tear that runs down his cheek though others do but out of respect don't mention it.
DUMBLEDORE turns his head away, fighting the impulse to cover the glass
again.
Bracing himself, he looks up.
From their bloody palms rise two glowing drops of blood, which mingle and
merge to create one. A metal shape begins to form around the droplet, becoming
more defined and intricate. It is GRINDELWALD'S vial.
Everyone if fixated on the screen.
Some of the wizard who had been placed in Ravenclaw during there time at Hogwarts started rummaging through there brains to see if anything came to mind, a few figured it out and sent the professor looks of understanding and slight pity.
The vision fades and the present-day GRINDELWALD stands smiling out of the
mirror, surrounded by blackness.
SCENE 74
EXT. PARIS, RUE DE MONTMORENCY—AFTERNOON
Establishing shot of NICOLAS FLAMEL'S house.
SCENE 75
INT. FLAMEL HOUSE—AFTERNOON
A creepy medieval drawing room. The tapestries sport moving figures and odd
runes. A large crystal ball in a corner shows dark clouds. TINA is trying to wake
up KAMA with a bottle of smelling salts. He moves slightly. The Predictions of
Tycho Dodonus slips out of his pocket onto the floor. TINA picks it up and opens
it to the prediction KAMA has underlined.
NEWT'S case is open on a table. The Zouwu roars from inside. TINA turns to
look at it, listening.
SCENE 76
INT. NEWT'S CASE, ZOUWU ENCLOSURE—AFTERNOON
A wild Chinese habitat. NEWT is curled up in dense undergrowth. The Zouwu
picks him up and dangles him from a claw.
Theseus looks at his brother in worry.
"Don't worry, I'm just showing her that I'm not going to harm her ."
SCENE 77
INT. FLAMEL HOUSE—AFTERNOON
JACOB enters and sees TINA watching the case. She hastily looks back at the
book.
JACOB
(calling into case)
Hey, Newt, buddy. Tina's up here. She's all by her lonesome and
maybe you want to come up and keep her company?
(beat)
Many start to feel the awkwardness and let out a laugh, feeling relived they had a little laugh. Considering all of the heaviness that has been coming from the movie.
I've been looking for food, and I ain't found any. I guess I'm gonna
go upstairs and try my luck in the—I dunno—the attic!
SCENE 78
INT. NEWT'S CASE, ZOUWU ENCLOSURE—AFTERNOON
Still dangling from the Zouwu's claw, NEWT soothes and coaxes her until he can
reach her harness and remove it. The Zouwu is finally freed from her chains.
NEWT
You're all right.
JACOB (O.S.)
Okay!
SCENE 79
INT. FLAMEL HOUSE—AFTERNOON
JACOB is about to leave when NEWT clambers back out of the case.
NEWT
She's responded well to the Dittany. She was born to run, you see. I think she's just lacking in confidence—
He glances at TINA. She pockets The Predictions of Tycho Dodonus and speaks,
not quite looking at NEWT.
TINA
Mr. Scamander, have you got anything in your case that might help
revive this man? I need to question him. I think he knows who
Credence really is. The scars on his hand suggest an unbreakable
vow—
NEWT
(eager, overlapping)
—unbreakable vow. Yeah, I noticed that too—
They examine the unconscious KAMA.
NEWT
Lumos.
NEWT'S and TINA'S hands brush as NEWT advances his lit wand-tip to look in
KAMA'S eye. Both jump. NEWT stares into KAMA'S eye. The tiny flicker of a
tentacle, swiftly withdrawn—
TINA
(gasps)
What was that?
NEWT
(serious)
There must be a water dragon in that sewer—they carry these parasites, you see. They . . . Jacob?
JACOB
Yeah?
NEWT
In my case, in the pocket there, you'll find a pair of tweezers.
JACOB
Tweezers?
NEWT
They're thin and pointy—
TINA
Thin, little pointy things.
"Yes I know what tweezers are them you." Jacob said a little put out.
JACOB
Yes, I know what tweezers are.
NEWT
(to TINA)
You might not want to watch this . . .
TINA
I can handle it.
NEWT succeeds in catching and pulling at the tentacle in KAMA'S eye.
There are many disgusted looks thrown at the screen, Queenie swears she felt a little bile come up.
NEWT
Come on. You're all right. Jacob, will you take that for me?
He has extracted something like a spindly, waterborne spider, which he hands to
JACOB.
JACOB
Ew! Calamari.
KAMA has started muttering, distraught, semiconscious.
KAMA
I must kill him . . .
TINA
Who? Credence? Who—?
Credence by now used to someone trying to kill him isn't hunched up anymore but sits quietly with his foster parents and nagini.
NEWT
It may take him a few hours to recover. The parasite's poison is quite strong.
TINA
I'll have to go to the Ministry with what I've got.
(a wobble in her voice)
It was nice to see you again, Mr. Scamander.
She strides from the room, leaving NEWT perplexed and upset.
The two in question feel there hearts sink a-bit, to know that they put in all that hard work with trying to keep in touch and what not to only have it all go to hell.
SCENE 80
INT. FLAMEL HOUSE, HALLWAY—AFTERNOON
JACOB follows TINA into the hall.
JACOB
Hey, hold on one second, will you? Well, hold on! Wait! Tina!
She leaves. As the front door closes, NEWT appears at the drawing room door.
"Run after her newt." Theseus pleads to kis brother.
"I agree mr scamander, don't let her get away."
"Go on newt."
JACOB
(to NEWT)
You didn't mention salamanders, did you?
NEWT
No, she just—ran. I don't know . . .
JACOB
(firm)
So you chase after her!
NEWT grabs his case. He leaves.
SCENE 81
EXT. RUE DE MONTMORENCY—END OF DAY
TINA is hurrying up the road. NEWT hastens to catch up.
NEWT
Tina. Please, just listen to me—
TINA
Mr. Scamander, I need to go talk to the Ministry—and I know how'll
you feel about Aurors—
Jacob turned to newt.
"What'd you write about."
Newt didn't have anything to say, though considering his relationship with aurors in the past it mustn't of been a very good letter.
NEWT
I may have been a little strong in the way that I expressed myself in that letter—
TINA
What was the exact phrase? "A bunch of careerist hypocrites"?
The aurors looked at newt offended.
Theseus by now used to his brother opinion about his job didn't say much only kept his head down.
NEWT
I'm sorry, but I can't admire people whose answer to everything that
they fear or misunderstand is "kill it"!
"Mr scamander we protect the wizarding world, we train for three hard years to become aurors to protect you so please have more respect." Travers spoke down to newt.
TINA
I'm an Auror and I don't—
NEWT
Yes, and that's because you've gone middle head!
The men in the room shook there heads in dismay, knowing how that comment sounded like.
TINA
(stopping)
Excuse me?
NEWT
It's an expression derived from the three heads of the Runespoor.
The middle one is the visionary. Every Auror in Europe wants Credence dead—except you. You've gone middle head.
A beat.
TINA
Who else uses that expression, Mr. Scamander?
"No one " came a reply
NEWT considers.
NEWT
I think it might just be me.
All lights are extinguished as every building is wrapped in black banners.
Muggles pass, totally immune, but a YOUNG RED-HAIRED WITCH nearby is
walking along. She, like NEWT and TINA, can see the banners.
TINA steps into the middle of the road, watching the black silk fall out of the sky
to shroud the surrounding buildings in darkness.
"Grindelwald"
TINA
It's Grindelwald. He's calling his followers.
We pan up one length of flowing black silk until we achieve an aerial view of
Paris. The entire city is being covered in GRINDELWALD'S dark banners.
SCENE 82
EXT. WIZARDING CAFÉ—END OF DAY
Witches and wizards hurrying outside to see what is invisible to Muggle
passersby.
SCENE 83
EXT. PARISIAN STREET—END OF DAY
QUEENIE reaches out to the nearest black banner, and an emblem of a white
raven appears beneath her touch.
SCENE 84
EXT. PLACE DE FURSTEMBERG—END OF DAY
NEWT still following TINA. They stand surrounded by the impressive scale of
GRINDELWALD'S banners.
TINA
It's too late. Grindelwald's come for Credence. He might already have him.
NEWT
(suddenly forceful)
It's not too late. We can still get to him first.
He grabs her hand and pulls her on.
TINA
Where are you going?
NEWT
The French Ministry of Magic.
"Newt how are you going to get in, your posters are everywhere."
Newt keeps quiet. If he knows himself he already has an idea.
He try's not to look at Theseus.
TINA
That's the last place Credence would go!
NEWT
There's a box hidden at the Ministry safe. It's a box that can tell us who Credence really is.
TINA
A box? What are you talking about?
NEWT
Trust me.
"So newt your gonna try to break into the french ministry are you?"
