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 109

EXT. SUBWAY ENTRANCE—NIGHT

Madam 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 110

INT. SUBWAY—NIGHT

Graves 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 111

EXT. SUBWAY ENTRANCE—NIGHT

WIDE 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 112

INT. SUBWAY—NIGHT

Graves 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.

Юрий Олеша и Всеволод Мейерхольд в работе над спектаклем «Список благодеяний»

Работа над пьесой и спектаклем «Список благодеяний» Ю. Олеши и Вс. Мейерхольда пришлась на годы «великого перелома» (1929–1931). В книге рассказана история замысла Олеши и многочисленные цензурные приключения вещи, в результате которых смысл пьесы существенно изменился. Важнейшую часть книги составляют обнаруженные в архиве Олеши черновые варианты и ранняя редакция «Списка» (первоначально «Исповедь»), а также уникальные материалы архива Мейерхольда, дающие возможность оценить новаторство его режиссерской технологии. Публикуются также стенограммы общественных диспутов вокруг «Списка благодеяний», накал которых сравним со спорами в связи с «Днями Турбиных» М. А. Булгакова во МХАТе. Совместная работа двух замечательных художников позволяет автору коснуться ряда центральных мировоззренческих вопросов российской интеллигенции на рубеже эпох.
