Chasing Liberty Page #2

Synopsis: Anna Foster has never had an ordinary life. At eighteen years old, she is the most protected girl in America; she is the First Daughter. Frustrated with her overprotective father, the President of the United States of America, Anna makes a deal with him: only two agents are allowed to guard her while she attends a concert in Prague. When her father backs out of his promise, Anna flies into a temper and goes on the run with Ben Calder, a handsome photographer she runs into outside of the music club. They travel together with the intention of going to the Love Parade in Berlin. Anna hasn't told Ben who she is but more importantly, Ben hasn't told her who he is. Under the orders of Anna's father, Ben is supposed to keep an eye on the rebellious girl but falling in love with her wasn't something he expected to do. Romance blossoms between the wild, sassy Anna and the cool, distant Ben as they backpack through Europe. Problem is, when it is time to go back and Anna finds out about Ben, what

...a photo op with high school students

at Prague Castle...

...and even a few moments entertaining

children at the Prague Marionette Theater.

lt seems Anna Foster's

diplomatic skills...

...are on the way to matching

those of her father, President Foster.

The day ended with a presidential

banquet at the National Museum.

Anna.

-Gabrielle! How are you?

-Good.

-Gabrielle?

-l'm sorry l am late...

...but the guards outside

took turns to search me.

-Gabrielle, you're all grown up.

-lt happens.

-What's that in your mouth, candy?

-No, it's pierced.

-You like it?

-No.

Remind me to commission

a study and find out...

...why on Earth anyone wants

to pierce their tongue.

l'll save your country's money.

See, some guys think it makes for better--

Gabrielle, let's go mingle over here.

She's a nice girl.

-Wonder what else she has pierced.

-Oh, relax, Jim.

-How should l relax?

-Set up an embargo. You love those.

Have you been smoking?

l had a cigar with the prime minister.

lt's rude if you don't.

l love champagne.

Yes, and 1 8 is okay in Europe, so....

l don't believe they're still following you.

Go away, men with guns.

lt's no good. l've tried.

Even in English, they don't get it.

l don't know how you stand it. l got rid

of my babysitters when l was, like, 1 4.

Yeah, l'm afraid it doesn't work

like that in the ''land of the free.''

Cheers.

What?

Thank God Gabrielle found another

trashy friend to hang out with.

Yes. Your daughter.

Bye, Mom. And thank you

so much again, Dad. Bye.

See? He loved the hair.

Little change in plans, Mr. President?

Oh, you two have been

with me a long time.

We spend the day at the Love Parade

and then we go to my friend's club.

lt's the hottest place in the whole city.

That's okay.

-Are you okay?

-Yeah.

What a great idea, to change my hair.

lt's perfect.

-Yes, l told you.

-No one knows who l am.

-You get jet lag, Morales?

-No.

-Really? l get it awful.

-l take herbs.

-Herbs?

-Yep.

-Really? Why?

-They help reset your clock.

l'd like to reset your clock.

l'm just saying.

-Gabby, l am so excited. l feel so free.

-You're going to love it.

-Sorry. Sorry.

-Excuse me.

-Anna, come on.

-lt's okay.

There's plenty more inside.

Gabby, you are so right.

There are lots of cute guys here.

Oh, and wait till the Berlin Love Parade.

-Sounds like so much fun. l can't wait.

-lt's gonna be crazy.

Here we are.

Hey, yo. Break it down.

Break it down for me.

Spread your wings,

ladies and gentlemen.

You are now rocking with the best,

hard-working, revolution sure-shot.

What?

No.

No! No way!

No way! He said just two of you.

-No, that's just security--

-Don't worry about it. They're local guys.

Liberty's heading out to the bathroom.

Got her.

l can't believe he did it again.

He completely broke his promise.

Don't l deserve one night of freedom?

l'm not even talking freedom.

Two agents.

Oh, my God, Anna. l have a great plan.

Don't look back. Don't look back.

-l'm saying-- Anna?

-Anna! Anna!

-Secure the perimeters. Liberty's AWOL.

-Anna, run!

Anna! Anna!

Oh, God.

Excuse me.

-Sir, excuse me.

-You all right?

Could you please help me get out of here?

-Yeah, why not?

-Thank you.

Stop!

-Get them!

-Go, go, go.

Go!

Oh, my God. l can't believe l just did that.

l'm on fire! l'm untouchable!

l'm Anna. Who are you?

Ben Calder. Freelance getaway man.

Yeah, need the hand. Need the hand.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you so much, Mr. Ben.

You're welcome. l think. Depending on

what crime l've just aided and abetted.

No. No, no crime. l don't think.

Thank you again, very much. Thanks.

Anna? Do you have a last name?

No, actually, it's just-- lt's Anna. Like Pink.

Thank you again.

Actually, l need another ride, if that's okay.

Very fast. Like, right now.

Whatever you say, Mrs. Bond.

They're chasing us! They're chasing us!

Go, go, go, go, go.

Ben, l think we just lost them.

Oh, we lost them, did we?

-So why the wild ride, Anna?

-Concert security.

l snuck in, they caught me.

Chaos erupted.

Yeah, because they always give

giant chase vehicles to bouncers.

Maybe there was a little bit more

involved than just that.

-Almost always is, isn't there?

-Yeah.

Well, l'm gonna go.

So....

Thank you so much for the ride, Ben.

l appreciate it.

Bye.

Oh, wait.

Helmet?

So sorry. Thanks.

-You're sure you know where you're going?

-Yes.

No.

l'm supposed to be meeting a friend

of mine at this bar, Marquis de Sade.

-Do you have any idea where that is?

-Hang on.

Mate, it's me. l've got a question for you.

Marquis de Sade bar, what's the address?

The corner of Jakubska and Templova.

Okay, yeah. See you later, mate. Bye.

Ben, l know you probably think

l'm this really rude....

Thank you.

Hold on.

-So you a big drinker?

-l drink.

-You're not drinking?

-You're getting pissed for the both of us.

So where are you headed?

l am kind of...

...backpacking through Europe

on my way to Berlin for the Love Parade.

Oh, right.

Where's your backpack?

-Backpacking is just an expression.

-Oh, yeah.

For what?

Fine. Okay, fine. You caught me.

l'm on vacation here with my parents...

...and it's this numbing series of five-star

hotels and seven-course brunches.

-And l just can't take it anymore.

-lt's tough to take, l guess.

You know, chocolate mint

on your silk pillow. Nightmare.

So...

...what's your story?

l mean, like, why are you here

all by your eyelashes?

-l mean, self.

-Well, actually, l'm here on holiday.

lndulging in my passion for photography.

Taking pictures of European architecture...

-...and drunk teenage fugitives, of course.

-Hey. l'm not some drunk--

Holy sh*t.

l have to go. Oh, God, l have to go.

Why don't you duck into the loos

and, kind of, kill two birds sort of thing.

You....

You are great.

You. You stay here, you. Okay?

Be back.

-What took you so long?

-Why'd you leave, Agent Calder?

You should have stopped her

at the concert.

And let the first daughter cause a scene

with photographers hanging around?

She's yours. She's hiding in the loos

and drunk, so l'm sure she'll go easy.

l'll check in with you later.

-He's tall.

-What?

He's tall. Great.

-She ran off with a stranger.

-You said he was Secret Service.

-lt smells like wet cigars.

-She does not know he's Secret Service.

l think the maid was smoking.

She's desperate for freedom, Jim.

You pushed her into this

with your lack of trust.

You'd tell me if you started

smoking again, right?

You want me to trust some person that

would go off with a complete stranger?

-Of course l'd tell you.

-l thought you said he was Secret Service.

-She does not know that.

-The maid smokes cigars?

Wait. She doesn't know that.

How can a president

with a 63 percent approval rating...

...have absolutely no understanding

of his teenage daughter?

She needs at least

the illusion of independence.

That's exactly what l'm gonna give her.

Phil! Harper!
