Chasing Liberty Page #6

The newlyweds.

l say we don't tell him until we have

something really good to go with it.

We find her and say, ''Here's your daughter.

Sorry, Mr. President. She's married.''

God, this is bad. lt was bad before,

but now it's beyond bad.

Yep. This is pretty much

as bad as it gets.

Now you touch me?

-They just crossed the Austrian border.

-Weiss and Morales are en route.

No contact with Calder since yesterday.

Enough. l want a full contingent

at that Love Parade.

-Jim, how could you let this happen?

-l don't know. lt happened.

Sir? There's one more thing.

What else?

We think they're married.

So, what is it? Do you have a girlfriend?

l mean, is that who you called yesterday?

No, no girlfriend.

Okay, well, if you didn't like girls,

you could've just said something to me.

Hey, listen, l like girls.

Oh, okay. So you're just

not attracted to this one.

No, that's okay. This whole time l felt alone

because l never had any opportunities...

...because l never had privacy, but thanks

for proving me wrong. l needed that.

Anna, believe me,

this is not about you.

Romance is simply not...

...a feasible option for me right now.

Oh, God. Kill me now. l can't even attract

some guy who says stupid things like:

''Romance is not a feasible option''?

You know what?

The joke is on you, my friend.

l was just kidding last night.

l would never go through with it.

Of course you wouldn't.

No! Stop!

Anna, don't.

Anna. Anna.

Oh, come on.

Bye-bye.

Unbelievable.

Good luck.

Sh*t.

Hi, l just-- Guten tag. That's the extent

of my German. l really need the bike.

He's gonna jump.

No, no, no! Somebody stop him!

No, don't do it!

Bungee!

Very good. Very good.

You found us on the lnternet?

Jumpinggermans.com?

No.

-McGruff?

-To life!

McGruff.

-Look. My reasons were noble.

-l trusted you.

l needed the scratch. What can l say?

Please forgive.

-Three, two, one, bungee!

-Bungee!

Need to put this tighter.

Oh, no, wait, wait, wait!

Are you crazy?

What are you doing?

Get away from me.

l'm jumping, and you can't stop me.

Bloody hell.

lf you're scared, why do it?

Because the things you're scared of are

usually the most worthwhile. Just a theory.

You know what?

Actually, my dad taught me that.

Hold tight.

-God!

-Oh, my Lord.

Hi.

Hello. Here we go.

l can't believe we just did that.

Check that out.

Holy crap.

Yeah, you'd better stay out there.

You know, we needed that money.

You guys got it all wrong.

l gave most of it back.

Besides, that money was for love.

l've been traipsing over this stinking

continent looking for a girl l've never met.

We made goo-goo eyes

from, like, 30 meters.

But our eyes locked. We connected,

which is next to impossible in this world.

You know that. You can't let a feeling

like that pass you by.

You'd hug him all over again,

wouldn't you?

l'm all right. l'm all right.

Just so you know,

that's incredibly hot.

Oh, l'm sorry.

Oh, hi, Gus Gus.

Gus Gus. So much of you

they had to name you twice.

l thought you might need this.

-Thanks.

-So....

Yes?

So....

No.

For a girl who claims to be terminally alone,

you sure do get a lot of offers.

And rejections.

You're right.

You know what?

l'm tired of living my life just in theory.

-l think l'm gonna go talk to Gus Gus.

-Oh, come on.

You can't seriously be attracted

to that walking...

...Alp.

l don't know.

l can see myself in the mountains,

raising children...

...little Hans Hans and Gunther Gunther.

Anna, don't.

-Why not?

-Because l don't trust him.

-l don't think he's good enough for you.

-Yeah, right.

Because up until the last three days

l was perfectly content with my life...

...of solitary adventure

and then you came along....

Well, you came along and those

two things seemed mutually exclusive.

Ben.

Can you ever just say

what you really feel?

Okay, all right.

Because...

...l'm jealous as hell.

l'd hate to see you with Gus Gus.

l'd hate to see you with another man.

Not only did l adore kissing you

in Venice...

...but also because...

...l'm so un-bloody-hinged

just being near you.

l guess you fixed it, huh?

Anna.

Calder.

-Where the hell have you been?

-Listen, Weiss. She's here and she's safe.

We've been trying to reach you.

Your orders changed.

What're you talking about?

Your assignment has been over since

you jumped on that train to Venice.

-What?

-Ben?

l'll be right there.

Okay.

l've gotta go, mate.

Bring her in immediately.

We have a plan.

l promised l'd take her to the parade.

-Calder, listen to me. Listen.

-l've got really bad reception here. l gotta--

Who was that?

Just some friends from Prague

wondering where l am.

-He's gonna take her to the parade.

-Well, l guess we're going to the parade.

What? What?

You did this for me, right?

-This? No, l didn't do it for you. What?

-Really?

No, it was-- l got tired of styling it,

you know.

Okay.

Because it's kind of sexy.

-l'm sorry. Saw an opening, so l went for it.

-Sorry. Yeah.

When we get Anna,

l'm gonna put you in that tower.

You've been a very bad

super-secret agent.

You've got cute morning hair.

You've got cute everything.

Hey, McGruff.

Wanna go to the Love Parade,

see if mystery girl's there?

Rock on.

Sir. We just heard from Weiss.

Anna and Calder are going

to the Berlin Love Parade.

-Get to Berlin.

-Yes, sir.

Anna!

Hey! Oh, my God!

Gabrielle, l never thought l'd find you.

You made it. l was so worried.

Where were you?

You have no idea what

it took us to get here.

-Do l know you?

-My name is Scott Thomas McGruff.

l know how to make a woman feel like

she's wearing laundry fresh out the dryer.

Gabrielle Le Clerc.

-He okay?

-Yeah, yeah. Just hold on to your wallet.

Nice to meet you.

-McGruff, what about your mystery girl?

-What girl?

-Okay, you are glowing. Sex?

-No.

Love.

Weiss, l'll need at least an hour

before you move in.

The president is not waiting an hour

for his daughter.

-lt's important to her.

-l don't care.

l do, damn it.

So stick to the plan.

l'll have her by the Victory Column

in one hour.

Then this whole thing will be over

and she'll be all yours.

What is going on? Who the hell--?

No, Anna. Just--

No!

You see a Victory Column

somewhere around here?

Anna!

-Let me explain.

-Get away from me.

-l'm Secret Service.

-That is such bullshit.

l was outside the consulate

when you ran.

l was in contact with Weiss and Morales

the whole time.

-Oh, my God.

-Your father gave you controlled freedom.

So l was his safety net.

And yours.

-You lied to me?

-l know. l'm sorry. Jesus, l'm sorry.

-But something happened along the way.

-No kidding, you a**hole.

-You gotta believe me.

-How can l believe anything at this point?

That's what l'm telling you.

l didn't plan for it to happen, but it did.

l fell in love with you.

You can go to hell.

You and my father both.

Anna.

This is Harper.

We're flying over the Love Parade now.
