Newt crouches on the floor. Credence looks to him, the tiniest trace of hope dawning in his expression: Might there be a way back?
NEWT
Credence, can I come over to you? Can I come over?
Newt slowly moves forward, but as he does so a sharp burst of light blazes out from the darkness and a spell strikes, throwing him backward.
Graves marches down the tunnel with intense purpose.
Credence begins to run as Graves fires further spells at Newt, who rolls out of the way toward the tunnel’s central pillars. From here, Newt tries to fire back, but his efforts are easily deflected.
Credence continues to lumber down the tracks but stops—a rabbit caught in the headlights—as a train approaches, its lights glaring from the darkness.
It is up to Graves to save Credence—magically casting him out of the train’s path.
SCENE 109EXT. SUBWAY ENTRANCE—NIGHTMadam Picquery surveys the situation from under the magical force field.
ANGLE FROM THE CROWD AND POLICE’S POV—People begin to swarm around the subway, their cries and chatter becoming louder as they stare at the magical bubble surrounding the subway. Reporters have appeared, photographing the scene with an increased frenzy.
Shaw Sr. and Barker push their way through the crowds.
SHAW SR.
That thing killed my son—I want justice!
CLOSE ON MADAM PICQUERY as she looks out to the crowds.
SHAW SR. (O.S.)
I’ll expose you for who you are and what you’ve done.
SCENE 110INT. SUBWAY—NIGHTGraves stands on the platform, continuing to duel with Newt, who stands on the train tracks. Credence cowers behind him.
Finally, almost bored by Newt’s efforts, Graves casts a spell that ripples along the train tracks and down the tunnel, finally blasting into Newt, throwing him high into the air.
Newt lands on his back and Graves immediately sets upon him, casting spells in a whip-like motion with increasing vigor. Graves’s immense power is evident, as Newt writhes on the ground, unable to stop him.
SCENE 111EXT. SUBWAY ENTRANCE—NIGHTWIDE SHOT—we see the luminous wall of vibrating energy now flashing with the power of the magic it contains.
Langdon, drunk, stares, enthralled and amazed with the spectacle.
SHAW SR.
(to the photographers around him)
Look! Take photos!
SCENE 112INT. SUBWAY—NIGHTGraves continues to whip Newt, a manic, crazed look in his eyes.
CLOSE ON CREDENCE, farther down the tunnel, sobbing. He begins to shake, his face slowly turning black as he tries to stop the kinetic mass from rising up within him.
