Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Page #4

---

So, you need this man, you said?

Yeah.

I think he knows where Credence is, Mr. Scamander.

Well, that'll be the Zouwu.

Come on, Newt. Get outta there!

What were the three biggest mistakes that you made last time?

Caught by surprise, sir.

Mmm.

What else?

Didn't parry before counter-curse, sir.

Very good. The last one? The most important one?

Not learning from the first too.

This is a school. You've no right!

I'm the head of the Magical Law Enforcement. I have the right to go wherever I please.

Out of here.

Go with Professor McGonagall, please.

He's the best teacher we've got.

- Thanks, McClaggan. - Get out.

Come, McClaggan.

Newt Scamander is in Paris.

Really?

Cut the pretence. I know he's there on your orders.

Oh, if you'd ever had the please to teach him, you'd know Newt is not a great follower of orders.

You've read The Predictions of Tycho Dodonus?

Mmm. Many years ago.

A son cruelly banished.

Despair of the daughter.

- Return... - Yes, I know it.

There's a rumour this prediction refers to the Obscurial.

- They say that Grindelwald wants-- - As a highborn henchman. I've heard the rumour.

And yet, Scamander appears wherever the Obscurial goes, to protect him.

Meanwhile, you've build up quite the little network of international contacts.

However long you keep me and my friends under surveillance, you're not going to discover plots against you, Travers, because we want the same thing. The defeat of Grindelwald.

But I warn you, your policies of suppression and violence are pushing supporters into his arms.

I'm not interested in your warnings.

Well... It pains me to say it because, well, I don't like you...

But. You are the only wizard who is his equal.

I need you to fight him.

I can't.

Because of this?

You and Grindelwald were as close as brothers.

Oh, we were closer than brothers.

Will you fight him?

I can't.

Well, then you have chosen your side.

From now on, I shall know every spell you cast.

I'm doubling the watch on you, and you will no longer teach Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Where's Leta? We need to go to Paris.

Theseus.

Theseus, if Grindelwald calls a rally...

don't try and break it up.

Don't let Travers send you in there.

If you ever trusted me--

Theseus!

Theseus!

Even the name Lestrange makes me feel sick.

You know she stays here every vacation. Her family don't actually want her home.

I don't blame them. She's so annoying. Did you see her last week?

Oscausi!

Professor McGonagall! Lestrange has done it again!

Lestrange, stop running!

- Lestrange! Disobedient children. - Leta, come back!

Stop! Shame on the House of Slytherin.

A hundred points! Two hundred!

Get back here, right now!

Children, stop it! You, stop! Come back!

- Out of my way! - Where has she gone?

I think she went that way!

Miss, it was Lestrange. She's horrible--

Scamander, why aren't you packing?

I'm not going home.

Why not?

He needs me.

He was hurt.

What is that?

A raven chick.

Isn't the raven your family emblem?

Yes, it is.

All right, Newt.

Be brave.

That's an unusual one.

So, Mr. Scamander fears what more than anything else in the world?

Having to work in an office, sir.

Go ahead, Newt.

Riddikulus.

Well done.

Good job. Leta.

It's only a Boggart.

It can't hurt you.

Everything is scared of something.

I've been looking forward to this.

I don't want to talk about it.

They know me, or they'd hide.

They only nest in trees with wand-quality wood.

Did you know that?

And they have very complex social lives. If you watch them for long enough, you realise...

Hello, Leta.

This is a surprise.

Finding me in a classroom?

Was I such a bad student?

On the contrary, you were one of my cleverest.

I said "bad", not "stupid".

Don't bother answering.

- I know you never liked me. - You're wrong.

I never thought you bad.

You were alone, then. Everybody else did.

And they were right.

I was wicked.

Leta, I know how painful the rumours about your brother Corvus must be for you.

No, you don't.

Not unless you had a brother who died, too.

In my case, it was my sister.

Did you love her?

Not as well as I should have done

Never too late to free yourself.

Confession is a relief, I'm told. A great weight lifted.

Regret is my constant companion.

Do not let it become yours.

Oh! No, thank you.

Well... You've been really 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.

But you haven't met your host.

Oh, are you married?

Let's say, deeply committed.

You see, I can't tell if you're making a joke or if you're just... French.

Oh.

Hey, knock it off.

You stay right there.

I know what you are.

Queenie. We are not here to hurt you.

We only want to help you.

You're so very, very far away from home.

Far away from everything you love, everything that is comfortable.

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 were free to live openly.

To love freely.

You are an innocent.

So go now.

Leave this place.

Hey, uh, Newt, buddy. Uh...

Tina's up here. She's all by her lonesome, and, uh, maybe you want to come up and keep her company?

Uh, I've been looking for food, and I ain't found any...

So, uh, I guess I'm gonna go upstairs and try my luck in, oh, I don't know, the attic.

You're alright.

Relashio.

Okay.

She's responded well to the Dittany.

She was born to run, you see.

But I think she's... She's just lacking in confidence.

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. And the scars on his hand suggest...

- ...an Unbreakable Vow. - An Unbreakable Vow. Yeah, I noticed that, too.

Lumos.

What was that?

There must be a Water Dragon in that sewer. They carry these parasites, you see. They, um...

- Jacob. - Yeah?

In my case, in the pocket there, you'll find a pair of tweezers.

Tweezers?

- They're thin, pointy... - Little pointy things.

Yes, I know what tweezers are.

All right. You might not want to watch this.

I can handle it.

Come out.

Come on. You're all right.

- Ew. - Come on. I got you.

Jacob, will you take that for me?

Huh. Ugh!

Calamari.

Must kill him.

Who?

Credence?

It may take him a few hours to recover. That parasite's poison is quite strong.

I have to go back to the Ministry with what I've got.

What... Uh...

It's nice to see you again, Mr. Scamander

Hey. Hey. Hold on a second, will ya? Hold on. Hold on.

Wait! Tina.

You didn't mention salamanders, did you?
