Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Hey, Mr. English guy! I think your egg is hatching.

Newt looks hurriedly between Jacob and the shutting elevator doors before making a decision: He points his wand at Jacob. Jacob and the egg are pulled magically across the bank atrium toward Newt. In a split second, they Disapparate.

Tina stares, incredulous, from behind a pillar.

SCENE 14

INT. BACK ROOM OF THE BANK/STAIRCASE—DAY

Newt and Jacob Apparate into a narrow stairwell leading to the bank’s vaults, suddenly past the tellers and security guards.

Newt gently takes the egg back from Jacob as it hatches, revealing a small, blue, snake-like bird—an Occamy. Newt, his face full of wonder, looks to Jacob as though expecting a similar reaction from him.

Slowly, Newt carries the baby creature down the stairs.

JACOB

Excuse me . . .

Jacob, very confused, looks back up the stairs toward the main bank atrium. On seeing Bingley approaching, he ducks down the stairs, out of sight.

JACOB

(to himself)

I was—over there. I was—over there?

SCENE 15

INT. BASEMENT CORRIDOR OF BANK, LEADING TO VAULT—DAY

JACOB’S POV—Newt is crouched down, opening his case. He carefully places the hatched Occamy inside, whispering tenderly:

NEWT

In you hop . . .

JACOB (O.S.)

Hello?

NEWT

No. Everyone settle down—stay. Dougal, don’t make me come in there . . .

Jacob moves along the corridor, staring at Newt.

We see a strange green creature, part stick insect, part plant, poke its head out of Newt’s breast pocket, intrigued. This is Pickett, a Bowtruckle.

NEWT

Don’t make me come down there.

Newt looks up to see the Niffler squeezing itself through locked doors, into the central vault.

NEWT

Absolutely not!

Newt takes out his wand and points it at the vault.

NEWT

Alohomora.

We watch the locks and cogs of the vault door turn.

Bingley comes around the corner, just as the vault door starts to open.

BINGLEY

(to Jacob)

Oh, so you’re gonna STEAL the money, huh?

Bingley hits a button on the wall. An alarm sounds. Newt aims his wand . . .

NEWT

Petrificus Totalus!

Bingley suddenly stiffens and falls back flat on the ground. Jacob cannot believe his eyes.

JACOB

Mr. Bingley!

The vault door opens wide.

MR. BINGLEY

(in his paralyzed state)

. . . Kowalski!

Newt hurries into the vault. Inside he finds the Niffler lying among hundreds of opened deposit boxes, and seated on a great pile of cash. The Niffler stares at Newt defiantly as it forces another gold bar into its already overflowing pouch.

NEWT

Really?!

Newt grasps the Niffler tightly and turns it upside down, shaking it by its hind legs. An extraordinary, and seemingly endless, number of precious items fall out.

NEWT

(to the Niffler)

No . . .

Jacob looks around him in disbelief, an almost queasy fear.
