Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The Obscurus moves closer to Graves—we hear a scream from within the mass as its Dark energy bursts out once more, knocking Graves to the ground. The force sends a shock wave around the square—Newt dives behind a fallen car for cover.

Tina Apparates into the square and takes cover by another burning vehicle close to Newt. They look at each other.

TINA

Newt!

NEWT

It’s the Second Salem boy. He’s the Obscurial.

TINA

He’s not a child.

NEWT

I know—but I saw him—his power must be so strong—he’s somehow managed to survive. It’s incredible.

As the Obscurus screams once more, Tina makes a decision.

TINA

Newt! Save him.

Tina dashes out toward Graves. Newt, understanding, Disapparates.

SCENE 101

EXT. TIMES SQUARE—NIGHT

Graves is moving nearer and nearer to the Obscurus, which continues to scream and wail at his presence. He takes out his wand, poised . . .

Tina runs into view behind Graves. She fires at him, but he turns just in time, his reactions marvelous, astounding.

The Obscurus now vanishes. Graves, thoroughly irritated, advances on Tina, deflecting her spells with perfect ease.

GRAVES

Tina. You’re always turning up where you are least wanted.

Graves summons an abandoned car, which whooshes through the air, forcing Tina to dive out of the way, just in time.

By the time Tina has gathered herself up from the ground, Graves has Disapparated.

SCENE 102

INT. MAJOR INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT, MACUSA—NIGHT

A metallic map of New York City lights up to show areas of intense magical activity. Madam Picquery, surrounded by top Aurors, looks on, aghast.

MADAM PICQUERY

Contain this, or we are exposed and it will mean war.

The Aurors immediately Disapparate.

SCENE 103

EXT. ROOFTOPS OF NEW YORK—NIGHT

Newt race-Apparates as fast as he can across the tops of buildings in pursuit of the Obscurus.

NEWT

Credence! Credence, I can help you.

The Obscurus dives toward Newt, who Disapparates just in time, before continuing to chase it across the rooftops.

As he runs, spells explode around him, disintegrating the rooftops. A dozen Aurors have appeared, attacking the Obscurus from ahead, and almost taking out Newt, who leaps for cover, trying desperately to keep up.

The Obscurus veers to avoid the spells, leaving black, snow-like particles that drift across the rooftops as it retreats, screaming, and turns down another block.

In a particularly vigorous display, the Obscurus now rises dramatically up into the air, as spells in electric blue and white hit it from all angles. Finally it crashes to the ground and races along a wide, empty street—a black tsunami destroying anything in its path.

SCENE 104

EXT. OUTSIDE A SUBWAY STATION—NIGHT
