NEWT Apparates in the middle of the bridge, fifty yards from the Zouwu,

holding his case. A second later, TINA Apparates too, holding JACOB’S arm.
JACOB is sagging under the weight of the unconscious KAMA.
JACOB
(calls)

Newt, get out of there!

NEWT stoops down slowly and opens his case. The Zouwu snarls, crouches, and
begins to advance on NEWT.

Very slowly, so as not to alarm the Zouwu, NEWT lowers his arm into the case,
feeling for something. It takes him longer than he expected. Frowning, he

reaches deeper inside. The Zouwu advances. It bares its teeth.

NEWT has found what he was looking for. He raises his arm. He is holding a
fluffy toy bird on a stick and rope.

A beat. The Zouwu’s eyes start to follow the bird.

The Zouwu’s tail twitches. It crouches lower than ever. Then, with a sudden
bound, it soars through the air toward NEWT. Screams from the onlookers—
NEWT will surely be crushed—

But at the last moment he lets the bird fall into the case and the Zouwu sails
after it in a flash of rainbow color, python tail flailing and—WHAM—NEWT
slams the lid shut.

Uproar from the crowd, sirens approaching, police cars converging on the
bridge. FLAMEL’S card flies up out of NEWT’S pocket.

TINA and JACOB, still carrying KAMA, run toward NEWT, and all four
Disapparate.
