    KRALL
    Well, we know where the boy is, don’t we? Why don’t we grab him and leave!
    GRINDELWALD
    (to KRALL)
    He must come to me freely—and he will.
    GRINDELWALD returns his gaze to the vision of CREDENCE suspended in the center of the drawing room.
    GRINDELWALD
    The path has been laid, and he is following it. The trail that will lead him to me, and the strange and glorious truth of who he is.
    KRALL
    Why is he so important?
    GRINDELWALD walks to face KRALL.
    GRINDELWALD
    Who represents the greatest threat to our cause?
    KRALL
    Albus Dumbledore.
    GRINDELWALD
    If I asked you now to go to the school where he is hiding and kill him for me, would you do it for me, Krall?
    (smiles)
    Credence is the only entity alive . . . who can kill him.
    KRALL
    You really think that he can kill the great—can kill Albus Dumbledore?
    GRINDELWALD
    (whispers)
    I know he can. But will you be with us when that happens, Krall? Will you?



SCENE 47
    EXT. WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER—DAWN
    NEWT and JACOB are walking with cases toward Beachy Head. Pickett pokes his head out of NEWT’S breast pocket and yawns.
    NEWT
    Jacob, that man Tina’s been seeing—
    JACOB
    Don’t worry! She’s gonna see you and she’ll see the four of us together, it’ll be just like New York all over again. Don’t worry about it.
    NEWT
    Yes, but he’s an Auror, Queenie said?
    JACOB
    Yeah, he’s an Auror. So what? Don’t worry about him.
    A beat. They walk.
    NEWT
    What d’you think I should say to her, if I see her?
    JACOB
    Oh, well, it’s best not to plan these things. You know, you just say whatever comes to you in the moment.
    A beat. They walk.
    NEWT
    (reminiscently)
    She has eyes just like a salamander.
    JACOB
    Don’t say that.
    A beat. JACOB decides NEWT needs help.
    JACOB
    Nah, look, you just tell her that you missed her. Right, and then you came all the way to Paris to find her. She’ll love that. And then, tell her you’re losing sleep
at night for thinking of her. Just don’t say anything about no salamanders, all right?
    NEWT
    Right. Okay.
    JACOB
    Hey, hey, hey. It’s gonna be all right. We’re in this together, pal. Okay, I’m gonna help you out. I’m gonna help you find Tina, find Queenie, and
we’ll all be happy again. Just like old times.
    He spots a slightly sinister figure on the edge of the cliff: all black, tattered robes.
    JACOB
    Who is this guy?
    NEWT
    He’s the only way I can leave the country without documentation. Now, you don’t suffer from motion sickness, do you?
    JACOB
    I don’t do well on boats, Newt.
    A beat.
    NEWT
    You’ll be fine.
    PORTKEY TOUT
    Stir your stumps—it leaves in one minute!
    Confused, JACOB looks around for the conveyance, ignoring the rusty bucket on the ground.
    PORTKEY TOUT
    Fifty Galleons.
    NEWT
    No, we said thirty.
    PORTKEY TOUT
    Thirty to go to France, twenty not to tell anyone I seen Newt Scamander leaving the country illegally.
    Angry, NEWT pays up.
    PORTKEY TOUT
    Price of fame, pal.
    (checks watch)
    Ten seconds.
    NEWT picks up the bucket and holds out his hand to JACOB.
    NEWT
    (to JACOB)
    Jacob.
    JACOB
    ARGH!
    They are pulled away into thin air.

    SCENE 48
    EXT. PLACE CACHÉE—DAY
    NEWT and JACOB peer around the corner. A French POLICEMAN is standing in front of the statue of the robed woman. JACOB is pale, sweaty, and still clutching the bucket,
which has come in handy.
    JACOB
    I didn’t like that Portkey, Newt.
    NEWT
    (absently)
    So you keep saying. Follow me.
    NEWT points his wand at the POLICEMAN.
    NEWT
    Confundus
.
    The POLICEMAN lurches as though drunk, blinks, shakes his head, then giggles and ambles off, raising his hat at disconcerted passersby.
    NEWT
    Come on. That’ll wear off in a few minutes.
    NEWT leads JACOB through the statue and into Magical Paris. He puts his case down and points his wand at the street.
    NEWT
    Appare vestigium
.
    The tracking spell materializes as a swirl of gold, which illuminates traces of recent magical activity in the
