"Dougal, settle down now, please." "It won't be long." "Next." " British, huh?" " Yes." " First trip to New York?" " Yes." "Anything edible in there?" "No." "Livestock?" "Must get that fixed." "Um..." "No." "Let me take a look." "Welcome to New York." "Thank you." "Next." "And it was like a..." "Like a wind." "Or like a..." "Like a ghost." "But dark." "And I saw its eyes." "Shining white eyes." "A dark wind, with eyes?" "It's like a dark mass." "And it dove down there." "Down underground." "Someone ought to do something about it." "It's everywhere, this thing." "It's out of control." "Hey, you get anything?" "Dark wind." "Blah, blah." "Some sorta atmospheric hooey." "Or electrical." "Hey, you thirsty?" "No." "I'm on the wagon." "Promised Martha I'd lay off." "It's atmospheric." "Out of the way, folks." "Coming through!" "This great city sparkles with the jewels of man's inventions." "Movie theaters, automobiles, the wireless, electric lights," " all dazzle and bewitch us." " I'm so sorry." "But where there is light, there is shadow, friend." "Something is stalking our city, wreaking destruction, and then disappearing without a trace!" "We have to fight." "Join us, the Second Salemers, in our fight." "Excuse me, doll." "Just trying to get to the bank." "We have to fight together" " for the sake of our..." " Excuse me..." "Hey!" "Watch it!" "So sorry." "My case." "No harm done." "Excuse me." "You!" "Friend." "What drew you to our meeting today?" "Oh, I was just passing." "Are you a seeker?" "A seeker after truth?" "I'm more of a chaser, really." "Hear my words." "And heed my warning." "And laugh if you dare." "Witches live among us." "We have to fight together for the sake of our children." "For the sake of tomorrow." "What do you say to that, friend?" "Excuse me." "Can I help you, sir?" "No, I was just..." "I was just waiting." "Hi." "What brings you here?" "Same as you." "You're here to get a loan to open up a bakery?" "Yes." "What are the odds of that?" " Well, may the best man win, I guess." " Excuse me." "Hey!" "Hey, mister!" "Hey, mister." "Hey, fella." "Mr. Kowalski, Mr. Bingley will see you now." "Okay." "Okay." "You're currently working in a canning factory." "That's the best I can do." "I only got back in, uh, '24." " Got back?" " From Europe, sir." "Yeah." "I was part of the expeditionary forces there." " All right." " Mr. Kowalski..." "You gotta try the paczkis, okay?" "It's my grandmother's recipe." "The orange zest just..." "Mr. Kowalski." "What do you propose to offer the bank as collateral?" "Collateral?" "Collateral." "There are machines now that can produce hundreds of donuts an hour." "I know." "I know." "But they're nothing like what I can do." "You..." "The bank must be protected, Mr. Kowalski." "Good day to you." "Hey!" "Mr. English Guy!" "I think your egg is hatching." "What just happened?" "But, excuse me?" "I was over there." "Came over..." "I was over there." " In you hop." " Hello?" "No." "Everyone settle down." "Stay." "Dougal, don't make me come in there." "Don't make me come down there." "Absolutely not." "Alohomora." "Oh, so you're gonna steal the money, huh?" "Petrificus Totalus." "Mr. Bingley!" "Kowalski." "Really?" "No." "Don't play that." "Look." "Oh, no." "No, no, no." "Don't..." "Don't shoot." "Don't shoot!" "Right." "For the last time, you pilfering pest, paws off what doesn't belong to you." "Someone's robbing the bank!" "Awfully sorry about that." "What the hell was that?" "Nothing that need concern you." "Now, unfortunately, you have seen far too much." "If you wouldn't mind, if you just stand there, this'll be over in a jiffy." "Mmm-hmm." "Sure." "Yeah." "Sorry." "Bugger." "Who are you?" " I'm sorry." " Who are you?" " Newt Scamander." "And you are?" " What's that thing in your case?" "That's my Niffler." "Say, you've got something on your..." "Why in the name of Deliverance Dane did you let that thing loose?" "I didn't mean to." "He's incorrigible, you see." " Anything shiny, he's all over..." " You didn't mean to?" " No." " You could not have chosen a worse time to let that creature loose." "We're in the middle of a situation here." "I'm taking you in." "Taking me in where?" "Magical Congress of the United States of America." "So you work for MACUSA." "What are you, some kind of investigator?" "At least tell me you took care of the No-Maj." " The what?" " The No-Maj." "No-Magic." "The non-wizard!" "Oh." "Sorry, we call them Muggles." "You wiped his memory, right?" "The No-Maj with the case?" " Um..." " Oh..." "That's a Section 3-A, Mr. Scamander." "I'm taking you in." "Come on." "Sorry, but I do have things to do, actually." "Well..." "You'll have to rearrange them." "What are you doin' in New York anyway?" "I came to buy a birthday present." "Couldn't you have done that in London?" "No, there's only one breeder of Appaloosa Puffskeins in the world, and he lives in New York." "So, no." "I got a Section 3-A." "Hey." "By the way, we don't allow the breeding of magical creatures in New York." "We closed that guy down a year ago." "Hey, Goldstein." "Hey, Red." "Major Investigation Department." " I thought you was..." " Major Investigation Department." "I got a Section 3-A." "The International Confederation is threatening to send a delegation." "They think this is related to Grindelwald's attacks in Europe." "I was there." "This is a beast." "No human could do what this thing is capable of, Madam President." "Whatever it is, one thing is clear." "It must be stopped." "It's terrorizing No-Majs." "And when No-Majs are afraid, they attack." "This could mean exposure." "It could mean war." "I made your position here quite clear, Ms. Goldstein." " Yes, Madam President." "But I..." " You're no longer an Auror." "No, Madam President, but..." "Goldstein." "There's been a minor..." "This office is currently concerned with very major incidents." "Get out." "Yes, ma'am." "So you got your wand permit?" "All foreigners have to have them in New York." "I made a postal application weeks ago." "Scamander..." "And you were just in Equatorial Guinea?" "And I've just completed a year in the fields." "I'm writing a book about magical creatures." "Like an extermination guide?" "No, a guide to help people understand why we should be protecting these creatures instead of killing them." "Goldstein?" "Where is she?" "Where is she?" "Goldstein?" "Goldstein?" "Did you just butt in on the investigative team again?" "Where have you been?" "What?" "Where'd she pick you up?" "Me?" "Have you been tracking them Second Salemers again?" "Of course not, sir." "Afternoon, Mr. Graves, sir." "Afternoon, Abernathy." "Mr. Graves, sir, this is Mr. Scamander." "He has a crazy creature in that case, and it got out and caused mayhem in a bank." "Let's see the little guy." "Tina." "I'm sorry, Grandma." "What the..." "My momma, your momma" "Gonna catch a witch" "My momma, your momma Flying on a switch" "My momma, your momma Witches never cry" "My momma, your momma Witches gonna die" "Witch number one, drown in the river" "Witch number two, got a noose to give her" "Witch number three, gonna watch her burn" "Witch number four, flogging take a turn" "Collect your leaflets before you get food, children." "Is it a witch's mark, ma'am?" "No." "He's okay." "I can't believe you didn't Obliviate that man." "If there's an inquiry, I'm finished." "Why would you be finished?" "I'm the one that's..." "I'm not supposed to go near the Second Salemers." "What was that?" "Uh, moth, I think." "Big moth." "Hey!" "Quiet down!" "I'm trying to get a statement." "I'm telling you, it's a gas explosion again." "I ain't taking the kids back up there until it's safe." "Hey, sorry, ma'am." "There ain't no smell of gas." "It weren't gas, officer." "I seen it." "It was a gigantic, huge hippopoto..." "Gas." "Gas." "It was gas!" "Mr. Scamander!" "It was open?" "Just a smidge." "That crazy Niffler thing's on the loose again?" "Uh..." "Might be." "Then look for it." "Look!" "Oh..." "His neck's bleeding." "He's hurt." "Oh..." "Wake up!" "Mr. No-Maj." "Mercy Lewis, what is that?" "It's nothing to worry about." "That is a Murtlap." "What else have you got in there?" " You?" " Hello." "Easy, Mr..." "Kowalski." "Jacob." "You can't Obliviate him." "We need him as a witness." "I'm sorry." "You've just yelled at me the length of New York for not doing it in the first place." " He's hurt!" "He looks ill." " He'll be fine." "Murtlap bites aren't serious." "Yeah, I admit that is a slightly more severe reaction than I've seen." "But if it was really serious, he'd have..." "What?" "Well, the first symptom would be flames out of his anus." " He doesn't seem to..." " This is balled up!" "It'll last 48 hours at the most." " I can keep him, if you want me to." " Keep him?" "We don't keep them." "Mr. Scamander, do you know anything about the wizarding community in America?" "I do know a few things, actually." "I know that you have rather backwards laws about relations with Non-Magic people." "That you're not meant to befriend them." "That you can't marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me." "Who's gonna marry him?" "You're both coming with me." "I don't see why I need to come with you." " Help me." " I'm dreaming, right?" " Yeah." " Please." "I'm tired." "I never went to the bank." "This is all just some big nightmare, right?" "For the both of us, Mr. Kowalski." "Hey, you all right there?" "Whoa!" "And so this is the newsroom." "Let's go." "Hey, how are you?" "Make way for the Barebones." "Now, they're just putting the papers to bed, as they say." "Mr. Shaw." "Sir." "He's with the Senator." "Never mind that, Barker." "I wanna see my father." "I'm so sorry, Mr. Shaw, but your son insisted." "Father, you're gonna wanna hear this." "I've got something huge." "Your brother and I are busy here, Langdon." "Working on his election campaign." "We don't have time for this." "This is Mary Lou Barebone from the New Salem Preservation Society." "And she's got a big story for you." "Oh, she has, has she?" "There's strange things going on all over the city." "The people behind this, they are not like you and me." "This is witchcraft." "Don't you see?" " Langdon." " She doesn't want any money." "Then either her story is worthless, or she's lying about the cost." "Nobody gives away anything valuable for free, Langdon." "You're right, Mr. Shaw." "What we desire is infinitely more valuable than money." "It's your influence." "Millions of people read your newspapers, and they need to be made aware about this danger." "The crazy disturbances in the subway." "Just look at the pictures." "I'd like you and your friends to leave." "No." "Look, you're missing a trick here." "Just look at the evidence!" "Really?" "Langdon." "Listen to Father and just go." "And..." "Take the freaks with you." "This is Father's office, not yours." "And I'm sick of this." "Every time I walk in here..." "Okay." "That's it!" "Thank you." "We hope you'll reconsider, Mr. Shaw." "We're not difficult to find." "Until then, we thank you for your time." "Hey, boy!" "You dropped something." "Here you go, freak." "Why don't you put that in the trash where you all belong?" "Take a right here." "Okay." "Before we go in..." "I'm not supposed to have men on the premises." "In that case, Mr. Kowalski and I can easily seek other accommodations." "No, you don't." "Watch your step." "That you, Tina?" "Shh." "Yes, Mrs. Esposito." "Are you alone?" "I'm always alone, Mrs. Esposito." "Oh..." "Teenie, you brought men home." "Gentlemen, this is my sister." "Wanna put something on, Queenie?" "Oh, sure." "So, who are they?" "That's Mr. Scamander." "He's committed a serious infraction of the National Statute of Secrecy." " He's a criminal?" " Uh-huh." "And that's Mr. Kowalski." "He's a No-Maj." "A No-Maj?" "Teen, what are you up to?" "He's sick." "It's a long story." "Mr. Scamander has lost something I'm going to help him find." "Oh..." "You need to sit down, honey." "He hasn't eaten anything all day." "And..." "Oh, that's rough." "He didn't get the money he wanted for his bakery." "You bake, honey?" "Uh..." "I love to cook." " You're a Legilimens?" " Mmm." "Yeah." "But I always have trouble with your kind." "Brits." "It's the accent." "You know how to read minds?" "Oh, don't worry, honey." "Most guys think what you was thinking first time they see me." "Now, you need food." " Hot dog?" "Again?" " Don't read my mind." "Not a very wholesome lunch." "Hey, Mr. Scamander." "You prefer pie or strudel?" "I really don't have a preference." "You prefer strudel, huh, honey?" "Strudel it is." "Well, sit down, Mr. Scamander." "We're not gonna poison you." "You're upset." "It's your mother again." "Somebody said something." "What did they say?" "Tell me." "Do you think I'm a freak?" "No." "I think you're a very special young man, or I wouldn't have asked you to help me, now would I?" "Have you any news?" "I'm still looking." "Mmm." "Mr. Graves, if I knew whether it was a girl or a boy..." "My vision showed only the child's immense power." "He or she is no older than 10." "I saw this child in close proximity to your mother." "She I saw so plainly." "That could be any one of hundreds..." "There's something else." "Something I haven't told you." "I saw you beside me in New York." "You're the one who gains this child's trust." "You are the key." "I saw this." "You want to join the wizarding world." "I want those things too, Credence." "I want them for you." "So find the child." "Find the child and we'll all be free." "The job ain't that glamorous." "I mean, I spend most days making coffee." "Unjinxing the john." "Tina's the career girl." "Nah, we're orphans." "Ma and Pa died of Dragon Pox when we were kids." "Oh." "You're sweet." "But we got each other." "Could you stop reading my mind for a second?" "Oh..." "Don't get me wrong, I love it." "This meal, it's insanely good." "And this is what I do, I'm a cook." "And this is like the greatest meal I have ever had in my life." "Oh!" "You slay me." "I ain't never really talked to a No-Maj before." "Huh." "Really?" "I am not flirting." "I'm just saying, don't go getting attached." "He's gonna have to be Obliviated." "It's nothing personal." "Oh, hey, you okay, honey?" "So, Ms. Goldstein, I think Mr. Kowalski could do with an early night." "Besides, you and I will need to be up early tomorrow morning to find my Niffler, so..." "What's a Niffler?" "Don't ask." "Hey, you guys can bunk in here." "Uh, I thought you might like a hot drink." "Wow!" "Psst!" "Hey." "Mr. Scamander, look, cocoa." "Toilet's down the hall to the right." "Thanks." "Very much." "Come on." "For the love..." "Will you sit down?" "Good idea." "That's definitely the Murtlap." "You must be particularly susceptible." "See, you're a Muggle, so our physiologies are subtly different." "Ew!" " Stay still." " Ah..." "That should stop the sweating." "And one of those should sort the twitch." " Here, take that." " Ugh..." "Come on." "Whatcha got there?" "This, the locals call Swooping Evil." "Not the friendliest of names." "It's quite an agile fella." "I've been studying him, and I'm pretty sure that his venom could be quite useful if properly diluted." "Just to remove bad memories, you know?" "Probably shouldn't let him loose in here, though." "Come on." "Come on." "Down you come." "Come on." "Thank Paracelsus." "If you'd have got out, that could've been quite catastrophic." "So he's the real reason I came to America." "To bring Frank home." "Wait." "No, sorry." "Stay there." "He's a wee bit sensitive to strangers." "Here you are." "Here you are." "He was trafficked, you see." "I found him in Egypt." "He was all chained up." "Couldn't leave him there." "I had to bring him back." "I'm gonna put you back where you belong, aren't I, Frank?" "To the wilds of Arizona." "All right, here they come." "Here who comes?" "Graphorns." " Hey!" " You're all right." " Oh!" " Hello." "Hello." "So they're the last breeding pair in existence." "So if I hadn't managed to rescue them, that could've been the end of Graphorns forever." "All right." "What, you rescue these creatures?" "Yes, that's right." "Rescue, nurture and protect them." "And I'm gently trying to educate my fellow wizards about them." "Come on." "Wow." "Titus, Finn." "Poppy, Marlow, Tom." "He had a cold." "He needed some body warmth." "Aww..." "All right, on you hop." "He has some attachment issues." "Now, come on, Pickett." "Pickett." "No, they're not gonna bully you, now come on." "Pickett." "All right." "And that is exactly why they accuse me of favoritism." "Oh, no, Dougal's gone." "All right, I'm coming." "I'm coming." "Mum's here." "Mum's here." "Oh, hello." "Let me take a look at you." "I know these guys." "Your Occamy." " What do you mean, my Occamy?" " Yes." "Do you want to..." "Oh..." "Oh, wow, yeah, sure." "Okay." "Hey." " Ahh!" " Oh, sorry, no, don't pet him." "They, um, learn to defend themselves early." "See, their shells are made of silver, so they're incredibly valuable." "Okay." "Their nests tend to get ransacked by hunters." "Thank you." "Mr. Scamander?" "Oh, call me Newt." "Newt." "I don't think I'm dreaming." "What gave it away?" "I ain't got the brains to make this up." "Would you mind throwing some of those pellets in with the Mooncalfs over there?" " Yeah, sure." " Just over there's..." "Bugger." "Niffler's gone." "Course he has, little bugger." "Any chance to get his hands on something shiny." "What did you do today, Jacob?" "I was inside a suitcase." "Hey." "Oh, hello, fellas." "All right." "All right." "Take it easy." "Take it easy." "Cutie." "There it is." "Step back." "Step back." " What's the matter with this?" " I said, step away." "What the hell is this thing?" "It's an Obscurus." "I need to get going." "Find everyone who's escaped, before they get hurt." "Before they get hurt?" "Yes, Mr. Kowalski." "So they're currently in alien terrain surrounded by millions of the most vicious creatures on the planet." "Humans." "So where would you say that a medium-sized creature who likes broad open plains, trees, sort of waterholes, that sort of thing." "Where might she go?" "In New York City?" " Yes." " Plains?" "Central Park." "And where is that exactly?" "Where is Central Park?" "Well, look..." "I would come and show you, but don't you think it's kind of a double-cross?" "The girls take us in, they make us hot cocoa..." "Now you do realize that once they see that you stopped sweating, they will Obliviate you in a heartbeat?" "What's "Bliviate" mean?" "It'll be like you wake up and all memory of magic gone." "I won't remember any of this?" "No." "All right, yeah, okay." "I'll help you." "Come on, then." "Credence, where have you been?" "I was looking for a place for tomorrow's meeting." "There's a corner on 32nd Street that could..." "I'm sorry, Ma." "I didn't realize it was so late." " I was watching you at dinner." " Yeah." "People like you, don't they, Mr. Kowalski?" "Oh." "Well, I'm sure people like you, too, huh?" "Not really, no." "I annoy people." "Ah." "Why did you decide to be a baker?" "Well, um..." "Because I'm dying in that canning factory." "Everyone there's dying." "It just crushes the life out of you." " Do you like canned food?" " No." "Yeah, me neither." "That's why I wanna make pastries." "You know, it makes people happy." "We're going this way." "So did you get your loan?" "No." "I ain't got no collateral." "Stayed in the army too long, apparently." "I don't know." "You fought in the war?" "Of course I fought in the war." "Everyone fought in the war." " You didn't fight in the war?" " I worked mostly with dragons." "Ukrainian Ironbellies." "Eastern Front." "Fenestra." "Oh!" "Accio." "All right." "Happy?" "One down, two to go." "They went that way, officer." "Hands up." "What the hell is that?" "Lion." "You know, New York is considerably more interesting than I'd expected." "Put this on." "But why would I have to wear something like this?" "Because your skull is susceptible to breakage under immense force." "But we made 'em cocoa." "All right." "Here, you just, um, pop this on." "Okay." "Now there's absolutely nothing for you to worry about." "Tell me, has anyone ever believed you when you told them not to worry?" "Well, my philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice." "She's in season." "She needs to mate." "Erumpent musk." "She's mad for it." "Good girl." "Come on." "Into the case." "Get!" "Oh, no." "Reparo." "Merlin's beard!" "Tree!" "They're exactly the same." "Same thing." "Newt!" "No, don't." "I'm so sorry." "Good show, Mr. Kowalski." "Call me Jacob." "Well..." "Two down, one to go." "In you hop." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "Tonight's keynote speaker needs no introduction from me." "He's been mentioned as a future president." "And if you don't believe me, just read his daddy's newspapers." "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the senator for New York, Henry Shaw." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "And it's true, we have made some progress." "But there is no reward for idleness." "So just as the odious saloons have been banished..." "So now the pool halls, and these private parlors..." "What is that?" "No!" "No!" "Witches." "Our American friends have permitted a breach of the Statute of Secrecy that threatens to expose us all." "I will not be lectured by the man who let Gellert Grindelwald slip through his fingers." "Madam President, I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is critical..." "You better have an excellent excuse for this intrusion, Ms. Goldstein." "Yes." "I do." "Ma'am, yesterday a wizard entered New York with a case, this case, full of magical creatures." "And unfortunately, some have escaped." "He arrived yesterday?" "You've known for 24 hours that an unregistered wizard set magical beasts loose in New York, and you see fit to tell us only when a man has been killed?" "Who's been killed?" "Where is this man?" "Scamander?" "Oh, hello, Minister." "Theseus Scamander?" "The war hero?" "No." "This is his little brother." "And what are you doing in New York?" "I came to buy an Appaloosa Puffskein, sir." "Right." "What are you really doing here?" "Goldstein, who is this?" "This is Jacob Kowalski, Madam President." "He's a No-Maj who got bitten by one of Mr. Scamander's creatures." "No-Maj?" "Obliviate him." "Obliviate him." "Merlin's beard." "You know which of your creatures was responsible, Mr. Scamander?" "No creature did this." "Don't pretend." "You must know what that was." "Look at the marks." "That was an Obscurus." "You go too far, Mr. Scamander." "There is no Obscurial in America." "Impound that case, Graves." " Wait, no." "Give that back." " Arrest them." "Don't hurt those creatures." "Please." "You don't understand." "Nothing in there's dangerous." " Nothing." " We'll be the judges of that." "Take them to the cells." "Don't hurt those creatures." "Nothing in there is dangerous." "Please don't hurt my creatures." "They aren't dangerous!" "Please!" "They're not dangerous!" "They're not dangerous!" "I'm so sorry about your creatures, Mr. Scamander." "I truly am." "Can someone please tell me what this Obscurial, Obscurius thing is, please?" "There hasn't been one for centuries." "I met one in Sudan three months ago." "There used to be more of them, but they still exist." "It was before wizards went underground, when we were still being hunted by Muggles." "Young wizards and witches sometimes tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution." "So, instead of learning to harness or to control their powers, they developed what was called an Obscurus." "It's an unstable, uncontrollable dark force that busts out and attacks." "And then vanishes." "Obscurials can't survive long, can they?" "There's no documented case of an Obscurial surviving past the age of 10." "The one I met in Africa was 8 when she..." "She was 8 when she died." "What are you telling me here?" "That Senator Shaw was killed by a kid?" "My momma, your momma Flying on a switch" "My momma, your momma Witches never cry" "My momma, your momma Witches gonna die" "Witch number one, drown in the river" "Witch number two, got a noose..." "Hand out your leaflets." "I'll know if you dump them." "Tell me if you see anything suspicious." "It was good to make your acquaintance, Jacob." "And I hope you get your bakery." "You're an interesting man, Mr. Scamander." "Mr. Graves." "You were thrown out of Hogwarts for endangering human life." " That was an accident." " With a beast." "Yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion." "Now, what makes Albus Dumbledore so fond of you?" "I really couldn't say." "So setting a pack of dangerous creatures loose here was" "just another accident." "Is that right?" "Why would I do it deliberately?" "To expose wizardkind." "To provoke war between the magical and non-magical worlds." "Mass slaughter for the greater good, you mean?" "Yes." "Quite." "I'm not one of Grindelwald's fanatics, Mr. Graves." "I wonder what you can tell me about this, Mr. Scamander." "It's an Obscurus." "But it's not what you think." "I managed to separate it from the Sudanese girl as I tried to save her." "So I wanted to take it home to study it." "But it cannot survive outside that." "It could not hurt anyone, Tina." "So it's useless without the host?" "Useless?" "Useless?" "That is a parasitical, magical force that killed a child." "What on earth would you use it for?" "You fool nobody, Mr. Scamander." "You brought this Obscurus into the City of New York in the hope of causing mass disruption, breaking the Statute of Secrecy and revealing the magical world." "You know that can't hurt anyone." "You know that." "You are therefore guilty of a treasonous betrayal of your fellow wizards and are sentenced to death." "Miss Goldstein, who has aided and abetted you..." "No, she's done nothing of the kind." "Receives the same sentence." "Just do it immediately." " I will inform President Picquery myself." " Tina." "Shh." "Please." "Don't do this, Bernadette." "Please." "It don't hurt." "Tina." "Momma?" "Tina." "Come on, pumpkin." "Time for bed." "Are you ready?" "Don't that look good?" "You wanna get in, huh?" "Hey, Sam." " Hey, Queenie." " They need you downstairs." "I'll obliviate this guy." "You ain't qualified." "Hey, Sam." "Does Cecily know you been seeing Ruby?" " How did you..." " Let me Obliviate this guy, and she'll never hear about it from me." "What are you doing?" "Hush." "Teen's in trouble." "I'm trying to listen." "Jacob, where's Newt's case?" "I think that guy Graves took it." "Okay." "Come on." "What, you're not gonna Obliviate me?" "Of course not." "You're one of us now." "Tina." "It's okay." "Alohomora." "Aberto." "He would know some fancy spell to lock his office." "Okay, let's get the good stuff outta you." "Witch!" "Mr. Scamander!" "Don't panic." "What do you suggest I do instead?" "Jump." "Are you crazy?" "Jump on him." "Tina, listen to me." "I'll catch you." "Tina." "I'll catch you." "I've got you, Tina." "Go!" "Come on." "Leave his brains." "Come on." "Come on!" "What is that thing?" "Swooping Evil." "Well, I love it." "Get in." "Queenie!" "Where you going?" "I, uh..." "I'm sick, Mr. Abernathy." "Again?" "Oh." "Uh..." "Whatcha got there?" "Ladies' things." "You wanna take a look?" "I don't mind." "Good gravy." "No." "I, uh..." "You get well now." "Thanks." "Credence, have you found the child?" "I can't." "Show me." "My boy, the sooner we find this child, the sooner you can put that pain in the past where it belongs." "I want you to have this, Credence." "I would trust very few with it." "Very few." "But you..." "You're different." "And when you find the child, you touch this symbol, and I will know and I will come to you." "Do this, and you will be honored among wizards forever." "The child is dying, Credence." "Time is running out." "Your grandfather kept pigeons?" "Mine bred owls." "I used to love feeding them." "Graves always insisted the disturbances were caused by a beast." "We need to catch all your creatures so he can't keep using them as a scapegoat." "There's only one still missing." "Dougal, my Demiguise." "Dougal?" "Slight problem is that, um, he's invisible." " Invisible?" " Yes." "Most of the time." "He does, um..." " How do you catch something..." " With immense difficulty." "Oh." "Gnarlak." " Excuse me?" " Gnarlak." "He was an informant of mine when I was an Auror." "He used to trade in magical creatures on the side." "He wouldn't happen to have an interest in paw prints, would he?" "He's interested in anything he can sell." "Tears of pearl" "When the dragon snapped up his best girl" "And the Billywig forgot to twirl" "When his sweetheart left him cold" "The unicorn done lost his horn" "And the hippogriff..." "How's a guy get a drink in this joint?" "What?" "Ain't you ever seen a house-elf before?" "Uh, no, of course I have." "I love house-elves." "My uncle is a house-elf." "Yeah." "Six shots of Gigglewater and a Lobe-Blaster, please." "Are all No-Majs like you?" "No." "I'm the only one like me." "I've arrested half of the people in here." "You can tell me to mind my business, but I saw something in that death potion back there." "I saw you hugging that Second Salem boy." "His name's Credence." "His mother beats him." "She beats all those kids she's adopted, but she seems to hate him the most." "And she was the No-Maj you attacked?" "That's how I lost my job." "I went for her in front of a meeting of her crazy followers." "They all had to be Obliviated." "It was a big scandal." "It's him." "'Cause love drives all of us wild" "So..." "You're the guy with the case full of monsters, huh?" "News travels fast." "I was hoping you'd be able to tell me if there've been any sightings." "Tracks, that sort of thing." "You got a pretty big price on your head, Mr. Scamander." "Why should I help you instead of turning you in?" "I take it I'll have to make it worth your while." "Um..." "Let's consider it a cover charge." "MACUSA's offering more than that." "Lunascope?" "I got five." "Frozen Ashwinder egg." "Oh, you see, now we're..." "Wait a minute." "That's a..." "That's a Bowtruckle." "Right?" " No." " Oh, come on." "They pick locks, am I right?" "You're not having him." "Well..." "Good luck getting back alive, Mr. Scamander, what with the whole of MACUSA on your back." "All right." "Pickett." "Oh..." "Something invisible's been wreaking havoc around 5th Avenue." "You may want to check out Macy's Department Store." "Might have what you're looking for." "Dougal." "One last thing." "There's 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 comin'." "You tipped them off?" "Sorry, Mr. Gnarlak." "He reminds me of my foreman." "Whatcha doin', Credence?" "Where'd you get this?" "Give it back, Credence." "It's 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?" "Demiguise 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." "But 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." "What's it doing?" "He's babysitting." "What did you just say?" "This is my fault." "I thought I had them all but, uh, I must have miscounted." "It was babysitting that?" "Occamies are choranaptyxic." "So they grow to fill available space." "Mummy's here." "Whoa." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" " We need an insect!" " Huh?" "Any kind of insect and a teapot." "Find a teapot!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Oh!" "No!" "I got it!" "I'll get 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?" "That's everything." "And that's the truth." "Here she comes." "You happy to be home?" "Yeah." "Bet you're exhausted, buddy." "Come on." "Just place him in the middle there." "There you go." "That's right." "Ow." "Right." "I think we need to talk." "I wouldn't have let him keep you, Pickett." "Think I would rather chop off my hand than get rid of you after everything that you've done for me." "Now, come on." "Think we've talked about the sulking before, haven't we?" "Pickett?" "Come on, give me a smile." "Pickett, give me a..." "All right." "Now that is beneath you." "Hey, Newt." "Who is she?" "Oh, that's no one." "Leta Lestrange." "I've heard of that family." "Aren't they kind of, you know..." "Please don't read my mind." "Sorry, I asked you not to." "I know." "I'm sorry." "I can't help it." "People are easiest to read when they're hurting." "I'm 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?" "Uh, nothing." "School." " School." " Did..." "Did you say school?" "Is there a school?" "A wizardry school here in, uh, America?" "Of course." "Ilvermorny." "It's only the best wizard school in the whole world." "I think you'll find that 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." "Didn't you tell me you had another sister?" "Please, help me." " Where's your other sister, Credence?" " I need help." "The little one." "Where did she go?" "Please, just help me." "Your sister's in grave danger." "We need to find her." "What is this place?" "Ma adopted Modesty out of here." "From a family of 12." "She misses her brothers and sisters." "She still talks about them." "Where is she?" "I don't know." "You're 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." "You're unteachable." "Your mother's dead." "That's your reward." "I'm done with you." "Modesty?" "Modesty." "There's no need to be afraid." "I'm here with your brother, Credence." "Out you come now." "Credence." "I owe you an apology." "I trusted you." "I thought you were my friend." "I thought you were different." "You can control it." "Credence." "I don't think I want to, Mr. Graves." "Is that it?" "That's the Obscurial thing?" "That's more powerful than any Obscurial I've ever heard of." "If I don't come back, look after my creatures." "Everything that you need to know is in there." "What?" "They're not killing it." "Newt!" "You heard him." "Look after them." "Keep hold of that, honey." "No, no, no, no." "I can't take you." " Please, let go of me, Jacob." " Hey." "Hey." "You're the one that said I was one of yous." "Right?" "It's 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!" "It's the Second Salem boy." "He's the Obscurial." "He's not a child." "His power must be so strong he's somehow managed to survive." "Newt." "Save him." "Mr. Graves." "Tina, you're always turning up where you're least wanted." "Contain this." "Or we are exposed, and it'll mean war." "Credence." "Credence, I can help." " Bar the area." " Yes, sir." "I don't want anyone else down there." "Credence..." "It is Credence, isn't it?" "I'm here to help you, Credence." "I'm not here to hurt you." "I've met someone just like you, Credence." "A girl." "A young girl who'd been imprisoned." "She had been locked away, and she'd been punished for her magic." "Credence." "Can I come over to you?" "Can I come over?" "That thing killed my son." "I want justice." "I'll expose you for who you are and what you've done." "Look!" "Take photos." "Credence..." "Credence, no!" "Don't do this." "Please." "Keep talking, Tina." "Keep talking to him." "He'll listen to you." "He's listening." "I know what that woman did to you." "I know that you've suffered." "You need to stop this now." "Newt and I will protect you." "This man, he's using you." "Don't listen to her, Credence." "I want you to be free." "It's all right." "That's it." "Shh!" "Don't!" " You'll frighten him!" " Wands down!" "Anyone harms him, they answer to me." " Credence." " Credence." "No!" "No!" "Credence." "You fools." "Do you realize what you've 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, I'd like you to relieve Mr. Graves of his wand and escort him back..." "Accio!" "Revelio." "Do you think you can hold me?" "We'll do our best, Mr. Grindelwald." "Will we die just a little?" "Hey." "I figured somebody ought to keep an eye on this thing." "Thank you." "We owe you an apology, Mr. Scamander, but the magical community is exposed." "We cannot Obliviate an entire city." "Actually," "I think we can." "I was intending to wait until we got to Arizona." "But it seems that now you're our only hope, Frank." "I'll miss you, too." "You know what you gotta do." "They won't remember anything." "That venom has incredibly powerful Obliviative properties." "We owe you a great debt, Mr. Scamander." "Now, get that case out of New York." "Yes, Madam President." "Is that No-Maj still here?" "Obliviate him." "There can be no exceptions." "I'm sorry, but even one witness..." "You know the law." "I'll let you say goodbye." "Hey." "This is for the best." "Yeah." "I was..." "I was never even supposed to be here." "I was never supposed to know any of this." "Everybody knows Newt only kept me around because..." "Hey," "Newt, why did you keep me around?" "Because I like you." "Because you're my friend." "And I'll never forget how you helped me, Jacob." "Oh..." "Hey..." "I'll come with you." "We'll go somewhere." "We'll go anywhere." "See," "I ain't never gonna find anyone like you." "There's loads like me." "No." "No." "There's only one like you." "I gotta go." "Jacob..." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's just like waking up, right?" "I'm so sorry." "Sorry." "Hey!" "Dear Mr. Kowalski." "You are wasted in a canning factory." "Please take these Occamy eggshells as collateral for your bakery." "A well-wisher." "Well..." " It's been, um..." " Hasn't it?" "Listen, Newt, uh..." "I wanted to thank you." "What on earth for?" "Well, you know..." "If you hadn't said all those nice things to Madam Picquery about me," "I wouldn't be back on the investigative team now." "I can't think of anyone that I'd rather have investigating me." "Try not to need investigating for a bit." "I will." "A quiet life for me from now on." "Back to the Ministry." "Deliver my manuscript." "I'll look out for it." "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." "Does Leta Lestrange like to read?" "Who?" "The girl whose picture you carry." "I don't really know what Leta likes these days." " Oh." " 'Cause people change." " Yes." " I've changed." "I think." "Uh..." "Maybe a little." "I'll send you a copy of my book, if I may." "I'd like that." "I'm so sorry." "How would you feel if I gave you your copy in person?" "I'd like that." "Very much." "Where'd you get your ideas from, Mr. Kowalski?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "They just come." "Here you go." "Don't forget this." "Enjoy." "Hey!" "Hendry." "Storage, all right?" "Thanks, pal."
