The smiling executioner raises a wand and carefully extracts Tina’s happy memories from her head. Tina instantly calms—her expression now vacant, otherworldly.
The executioner casts the memories into the potion, which ripples, coming alive with scenes from Tina’s life:
A young Tina smiles up as her mother calls:
TINA’S MOTHER (V.O.)
Tina . . . Tina . . . Come on, pumpkin—time for bed. Are you ready?
TINA
Momma . . .
Tina’s mother appears in the pool, her expression loving and warm. The real Tina watches, smiling down.
EXECUTIONER 1
Don’t that look good. You wanna get in? Huh?
Tina nods vacantly.
SCENE 68INT. MACUSA LOBBY—DAYQueenie stands in the crowded lobby.
The elevator doors sound.
ANGLE ON THE ELEVATOR DOORS, which open, revealing Jacob, escorted by Sam, the Obliviator.
Queenie hurries toward them, determined.
QUEENIE
Hey, Sam!
SAM
Hey, Queenie.
QUEENIE
They need you downstairs. I’ll Obliviate this guy.
SAM
You ain’t qualified.
Grim-faced, Queenie reads his mind.
QUEENIE
Hey, Sam—does Cecily know you been seeing Ruby?
ANGLE ON RUBY, a MACUSA witch, standing ahead of them. She smiles at Sam.
ANGLE ON QUEENIE AND SAM—Sam looks nervous.
SAM
(appalled)
How’d you—?
QUEENIE
Let me Obliviate this guy and she’ll never hear about it from me.
Stunned, Sam backs away. Queenie seizes Jacob’s arm and marches him off across the cavernous lobby.
JACOB
What are you doin’?
QUEENIE
Shh! Teen’s in trouble, I’m trying to listen—
(she reads Tina’s mind)
Jacob, where’s Newt’s case?
JACOB
I think that guy Graves took it—
QUEENIE
Okay, come on—
JACOB
What? You’re not gonna Obliviate me?
QUEENIE
Of course not—you’re one of us now!
Queenie hurries him toward the main staircase.
SCENE 69INT. DEATH CELL—DAYTina sits in the execution chair. She gazes down: Beneath her swirl happy images of her family, her parents, a young Queenie.
MEMORY:
We move into the pool and follow one of Tina’s memories: Tina walks inside the Second Salem church and up the stairs. She finds Mary Lou, standing over Credence, belt in hand—Credence looks terrified. In anger, Tina casts a spell, striking Mary Lou. Tina moves forward to comfort Credence:
TINA
It’s okay.
ANGLE BACK ON REAL TINA, still gazing into the pool, smiling wistfully.
ANGLE ON NEWT, who glances quickly down his own arm—Pickett is clambering, quiet and agile, toward the shackles holding Newt’s hands.
SCENE 70INT. CORRIDOR LEADING TO GRAVES’S OFFICE—DAYANGLE ON THE DOOR TO GRAVES’S OFFICE.
QUEENIE (O.S.)
Alohomora.
We see Queenie and Jacob standing awkwardly outside Graves’s office, Queenie trying desperately to open the door.
QUEENIE
Aberto . . .
The door remains locked.
QUEENIE
(frustrated)
Ugh. He would know a fancy spell to lock his office.
SCENE 71INT. DEATH CELL—DAYBack to Pickett as he finishes unlocking the shackles holding Newt’s wrists, and quickly climbs onto Executioner 2’s coat.
