INT. SECOND SALEM CHURCH -- NIGHT

Graves slowly enters the church, wand still drawn. Eerie sobbing can be heard from somewhere in the building.

The place is destroyed -- moonlight filters through gaps in the roof, and Chastity lies dead amid debris from the attack.

FOCUS ON CREDENCE, cowering at the back of the church, whimpering and clutching his pendant of the Deathly Hallows. Graves steps quickly toward him, bends down, cradling Credence's head. However, there's little tenderness to his voice as he speaks:

Mary Lou's body lies on the floor in front of him, the marks on her face visible in the moonlight. Graves considers the corpse: A realization dawning on his face -- no horror, merely wariness and intense interest.

CREDENCE: "Help me. Help me."

GRAVES: "The Obscurial -- was here? Where did she go?"

Credence looks up into Graves's face -- he is utterly traumatized and unable to explain -- his face a plea for affection.

GRAVES: "Didn't you tell me you had another sister?"

Credence begins to weep again. Graves places a hand on his neck, his face contorting with stress as he tries to remain calm.

CREDENCE: "Please help me."

GRAVES: "Where's your other sister, Credence? The little one? Where did she go?"

Credence trembles and mumbles.

GRAVES: "Your sister's in grave danger. We need to find her."

CREDENCE: "Please help me."

Credence, stunned, stares at Graves.

Credence is aghast, unable to comprehend that his hero has hit him. Graves grabs him and pulls him up onto his feet as they Disapparate.

Suddenly vicious, Graves slaps Credence hard across the face.
