SCENE 46

INT. GRINDELWALD’S HIDEOUT, DRAWING ROOM—NIGHT

GRINDELWALD exhales vapor from a glowing skull-shaped hookah. His
ACOLYTES watch as the smoke forms a vision of the Obscurus, a swirl of black

and flashing red, then resolves into an image of CREDENCE.

All look excited, except KRALL, who is sulky.

GRINDELWALD
So . . . Credence Barebone. Nearly destroyed by the woman who
raised him. Yet now he seeks the mother who bore him. He’s
desperate for family. He’s desperate for love. He’s the key to our

victory.
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?
