Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Page #5

Synopsis: Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny, twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It is the middle of the 20s and times are troubled since the already fragile equilibrium of secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj" people that the MACUSA Congress struggles to maintain, is at risk of being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At the same time, by a twist of fate, Newt's precious suitcase will be switched with the identical one of an aspiring No-Maj baker, Jacob Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an unregistered wizard.

me if there have been any sightings.

Tracks. That sort of thing.

Youve got a big price on

your head, Mr. Scamander.

Why should I help you

instead of turnin you in?

I take it Ill have to

make it worth your while?

Lets consider it a cover charge.

MACUSAs offerin moren that.

Lunascope?

I got five.

Frozen Ashwinder egg!

-You see, now were...

Wait a minute.

That's Bow...

Thats a Bowtruckle, right?

No. -Come on.

They pick locks, am I right?

Youre not having him.

-Well,

good luck gettin back alive,

Mr. Scamander, what with the

whole of MACUSA on your back.

All right.

Pickett...

Somethin invisibles been

wreakin havoc around Fifth Avenue.

You may wanna check out

Macys department store.

Might help with what youre looking

for. -Dougal... One last thing.

Theres a Mr. Graves

who works at MACUSA.

I was wondering what you

knew of his background.

You ask a lot of

questions, Mr. Scamander.

That can get you killed.

MACUSA are coming!

-You tipped them off!

Sorry, Mr. Gnarlak...

Reminds me of my foreman!

What are you doin, Credence?

Whered you get this?

-Give it back, Credence. Its just a toy!

What is this?

Take it off!

Ma...

-I am not your Ma!

Your mother was a

wicked, unnatural woman!

It was mine.

-Modesty...

What is this?

So Demiguises are

fundamentally peaceful,

but they can give a

nasty nip if provoked.

You two, head that way.

And try very hard not to be predictable.

Was that the Demiguise?

No, I think it might be the

reason that the Demiguise is here.

Its sight operates on probability,

so it can foresee the most

likely immediate future.

So whats it doing?

-Its babysitting.

What did you just say?

-This is my fault.

I thought I had them all,

but I must have miscounted.

It was babysitting that?

Occamies are choranaptyxic.

So they grow to fill available space.

Mummys here.

We need an insect, any

kind of insect and a teapot!

Find a teapot!

I got it. I got it!

Teapot!

Roach in teapot...

Choranaptyxic.

They also shrink to

fit the available space.

Tell me the truth.

Was that everything that came out

of the case? -Thats everything.

And thats the truth.

Here she comes.

-Happy to be home?

Bet youre exhausted, buddy. Come

on. There you go, thats right.

Right. I think we need to talk.

I wouldnt have let

him keep you, Pickett.

Pick, I would rather chop off

my hand than get rid of you.

After everything you have

done for me, now come on.

Pick, weve talked about

sulking before, havent we?

Pickett...

Come on, give me a smile.

Pickett, give me a...

All right. Now, that is beneath you.

Newt.

Who is she?

-Thats no one.

Leta Lestrange? Ive heard of that family.

Arent they kinda, you know?

-Please dont read my mind.

Sorry, I asked you not to.

-I know, Im sorry.

I cant help it.

People are easiest to read when

theyre hurting. -Im not hurting.

Anyway, it was a long time ago.

That was a real close

friendship you had at school.

Neither of us really fitted in at school.

So we became quite...

-You became real close.

For years.

She was a taker. You need a giver.

What are you two talking about?

-Nothing.

School.

-School.

Did you say school? Is there a school?

A wizardry school here? In America?

Of course, Ilvermorny! Its only the

best wizard school in the whole world!

I think youll find the best wizarding

school in the world is Hogwarts!

Hogwash!

Danger.

He senses danger.

The Obscurial was here?

Where did she go?

Help me. Help me.

Didnt you tell me

you had another sister?

Please help me.

Wheres your other sister, Credence?

-Please, help me. -The little one?

Where did she go?

-Please...

Your sisters in grave danger.

We need to find her.

What is this place?

-Ma adopted Modesty out of here.

From a family of twelve.

She misses her brothers and

sisters. She still talks about them.

Where is she?

I don't know.

-Youre a Squib, Credence.

I could smell it off

you the minute I met you.

What?

-You have magical ancestry, but no power.

But you said you could teach me.

-Youre unteachable.

Your mothers dead. Thats your reward.

Im done with you.

Modesty?

Modesty.

Theres no need to be afraid.

Im here with your brother, Credence.

Out you come, now.

Credence, I owe you an apology.

I trusted you.

I thought you were my friend.

That you were different.

You can control it, Credence.

But I dont think I want to, Mr. Graves.

Jeez. Is that the Obscuriathing?

Thats more powerful than any

Obscurial I have ever heard of.

If I dont come back,

look after my creatures.

Everything that you

need to know is in there. -What?

Theyre not killing it.

Newt! You heard him, look after them!

Keep holda that, honey.

-No, no, no!

I cant take you. Please let go of me, Jacob!

Youre the one that said I was one

of youse, right? -Its too dangerous.

To survive so long, with

this inside you, Credence,

is a miracle. You are a miracle.

Come with me, think of what

we could achieve together.

Newt! -Its the Second Salem

boy. Hes the Obscurial.

Hes not a child.

His power must be so strong,

hes somehow managed to survive.

Newt! Save him.

Mr. Graves.

Tina. Youre always turning

up where you are least wanted.

Contain this, or we are

exposed and it will mean war.

Credence! Credence, I can help you.

Bar the area. -Yes, sir.

-I dont want anyone else down there!

Credence...

Its Credence, isnt it?

Im here to help you, Credence.

Im not here to hurt you.

Ive met someone just like you, Credence.

A girl.

A young girl whod been imprisoned,

she had been locked away and

shed been punished for her magic.

Credence...

Can I come over to you?

Can I come over?

That thing killed my son.

I want justice!

Ill expose you for who you

are and what youve done.

Look! Take... Take photos.

Credence.

Credence, no!

Dont do this.

Please.

Keep talking, Tina.

Keep talking to him, hell

listen to you. Hes listening.

I know what that woman did to you.

I know that youve suffered.

You need to stop this now.

Newt and I will protect you.

This man... He is using you.

-Dont listen to her, Credence.

I want you to be free.

Its all right.

-Thats it.

Dont, youll frighten him.

-Wands down!

Anyone harms him, theyll

answer to me. Credence! -Credence...

No. No!

Credence...

You fools.

Do you realize what youve done?

The Obscurial was killed on

my orders, Mr. Graves. -Yes.

And history will surely

note that, Madam President.

What was done here tonight was not right!

He was responsible for

the death of a No-Maj.

He risked the exposure

of our community.

He has broken one of

our most sacred laws.

A law that has us scuttling

like rats in the gutter!

A law that demands that

we conceal our true nature!

A law that directs those under

its dominion to cower in fear

lest we risk discovery!

I ask you, Madam President.

I ask all of you...

Who does this law protect?

Us?

Or them?

I refuse to bow down any longer.

Aurors, Id like you to

relieve Mr. Graves of his wand
