Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Page #6

---

My mother Laurena, was equally highbred, a noted beauty.

They were deeply in love.

They knew a man of great influence from a famous French pure-blood family.

He desired her.

Maman. Maman!

Lestrange used the Imperius Curse to seduce and abduct her.

I tried to prevent it, but he attacked me.

That was the last time I ever saw her.

She died giving birth to a little girl.

You.

The news of her death drove my father insane.

With his dying breath, my father charged me to seek revenge.

Kill the person Lestrange loves best in the world.

I thought at first it'd be easy.

He had only one close relative.

You.

But he...

Say it.

He never loved you. He remarried, and not three months after her death.

He loved her no more than he had loved you.

But then his son, Corvus, was born at last.

And that man who had never known love was filled with it.

All he cared about was little Corvus.

So this is the truth?

I am Corvus Lestrange?

- Yes. - Yes.

- No. - No.

Realizing that Mustafa Kama's son had sworn revenge, your father sought to hide you where I couldn't find you.

So he confided you to his servant, who boarded a ship for America.

- He did send Corvus to America, but-- - His servant, Irma Dugard was a half-elf.

Her magic was weak, and therefore left no trace I could follow.

I had only just discovered how you had escaped when I received news I never expected.

The ship had gone down at sea.

But you survived, didn't you?

Somehow, someone had pulled you from the water.

"A son cruelly banished

Despair of the daughter

Return, great avenger,

With wings from the water."

There stands the despairing daughter.

You are the winged raven, returned from the sea, but I...

I am the avenger of my family's ruin.

I pity you, Corvus.

But you must die.

Corvus Lestrange is already dead! I killed him!

Accio!

My father owned a very strange family tree.

It only recorded the men.

The women in my family were recorded as flowers.

Beautiful.

Separate.

My father sent me to America with Corvus.

Irma was to pose as a grandmother with two grandchildren.

Corvus never stopped crying.

Do you have any news?

All hands to station!

Run to station!

I never wanted to hurt him.

I only wanted to be free of him.

Just for a moment.

Just a single moment.

Give him to me.

Everyone, to the lifeboats!

They want us to put on life jackets.

You didn't mean to do it, Leta.

So it wasn't your fault.

Oh, Newt.

You never met a monster you couldn't love.

Leta... Do you know who Credence really is?

Did you know when you swapped them?

No.

Queenie?

They're pure-bloods.

They kill the likes of us for sport.

- Queenie.

- Jacob!

Honey, you're here! Hi!

Hi, hon. Hi.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

I never should have done it. I love you so much.

And you know that I love you, right?

Yeah. - Good. Let's get the hell outta here. - Oh, no, wait a second.

I just thought maybe we could hear him first, you know?

Just listen. That's all.

What are you talking about?

It's a trap.

Yeah.

Queenie, the family tree. It's all been bait.

We have to find a way out of here right now.

You go find the others.

What are you gonna do?

I'll think of something.

My brothers, my sisters, my friends, the great gift of your applause is not for me. No.

It is for yourselves.

You came today because of a craving

and a knowledge that the old ways serve us no longer.

You came today because you crave something new.

Something different.

It is said that I hate les non-Magiques,

The Muggles.

- Vermin! - The No-Maj.

The Can't-Spells.

I do not hate them.

I do not.

For I do not fight out of hatred.

I say the Muggles are not lesser, but other.

Not worthless, but of other value.

Not disposable, but of a different disposition.

Magic blooms only in rare souls.

It is granted to those who live for higher things.

Oh, and what a world we would make for all of humanity.

We who live for freedom, for truth, and for love.

It isn't illegal to listen to him.

Use minimum force on the crowd.

We mustn't be what he says we are.

The moment has come to share my vision of the future that awaits if we do not rise up and take our rightful place in the world.

Not another war.

That is what we are fighting.

That is the enemy.

Their arrogance.

Their power lust.

Their barbarity.

How long will it take before they turn their weapons on us?

Do nothing when I speak of this.

You must remain calm and contain your emotions.

There are Aurors here among us.

Come closer, brother wizards. Join us.

Do nothing.

And no force.

They have killed many of my followers.

It is true.

They confined me and tortured me in New York.

They had struck down their fellow witches and wizards.

For the simple crime of seeking the truth.

For wanting freedom.

Your anger, your desire for revenge is naturaly.

No!

Take this young warrior back to her family.

Disapparate. Leave.

Go forth from this place and spread the word.

It is not we who are violent.

Let's take him.

Aurors, join me in this circle.

Pledge to me your eternal allegiance, or die.

Only here shall you know freedom.

Only here shall you know yourself.

Move! Run! Run!

Play by the rules.

No cheating, children.

He knows who I am.

He knows what you were born, not who you are!

Credence!

Queenie, honey. Queenie.

You gotta wake up.

- Jacob. He's the answer. He wants what we want. - No, no, no.

Yeah.

This has all been for you, Credence.

Walk with me.

Hon. No!

Walk with me!

You're crazy.

Queenie. No!

Queenie, don't do it!

Queenie...

Queenie!

Mr. Scamander.

Do you think Dumbledore will mourn for you?

Grindelwald! Stop!

Leta...

This one I believe I know.

Leta Lestrange.

Despised entirely amongst wizards, unloved, mistreated, yet brave, so very brave.

Time to come home.

I love you.

Go!

Go!

Run!

I hate Paris.

Together, in a circle. Your wand into the earth.

Or all of Paris will be destroyed.

- Finite! - Finite!

Finite!

Finite!

Finite!

I've chosen my side.

Oh! Come here. I've got you. I've got you.

I think it's best if he speaks to him alone.

Is he frightened of me still?

You need to be very careful.

He's not sure he made the right choice.

Be very gentle with him.

I have a gift for you, my boy.

It is true? About Leta?

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

It's a blood pact, isn't it?

You swore not to fight each other.

How in the name of Merlin did you manage to get...

Grindelwald doesn't seem to understand the nature of the things he consider simple.

Can you destroy it?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Would he like a cup of tea?

He'll have some milk.

Hide the teaspoons.

You have suffered the most heinous of betrayals, most purposely bestowed upon you by your own blood.

Your own flesh and blood.

And just as he has celebrated your torment, your brother seeks to destroy you.
