"I can see that Mrs Pierce

is moving towards the bow."

"I'll switch you over now

to Mrs Pierce."

"In the name of

the people of the United States,

I christen thee Alaska. "

- What's the trouble?

- An explosion somewhere.

George!

- Everything OK?

- Give us a hand. We got a guy.

Better scatter. Go through

the iron door into the Music Hall.

We'll go this way.

You must go at once,

before he finds you here.

I thought you wanted

to make him jealous.

Not any more.

He's threatened to kill you on sight.

He'd go that far?

Oh, will you go before it's too late?

Old Henry's got a gun?

Oh!

I've caught you, you rat in the grass!

Stop that!

Run, Wilbur! Before he gets your range!

I think I got it now.

Get out before I shoot again!

Run! Quick!

Never touched me!

I'll get you this time.

My husband! He's shot!

I'll kill the rat if it's the last thing I do!

He was only kidding. I swear!

And I'm only kidding too!

Get outta here! Get outta here!

He's gone mad! Mad!

Get out! Get out!

Not that way!

Murder! Help!

Run! Run! Run for your life!

There he goes!

- He's the one we're after.

- You're the one we're after. Come on!

- Come on!

- Grab a cab and go after him.

Taxi!

- Downtown.

- Whereabouts?

Anywhere. Just keep going downtown.

- May I have change for the telephone?

- Yes, Ma'am.

There you are.

Operator? Give me the FBI

headquarters, please.

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Hold on, I'll put you through.

Make sure he doesn't

leave by the next boat.

Keep him there

until our men come along.

She thinks she's traced

Fry to Bedloe Island.

He'd never go there.

- Where did you pick up Schultz?

- In that museum.

And Renaldo?

You caught him in the aquarium.

- But the statue's a dead end.

- That's why he's smart.

Let me take him to make sure

the girl hasn't made a mistake.

Burke, you're one of the most

obstinate men I've ever met!

Pardon me.

Could you tell me which is Brooklyn?

I've seen you before, haven't I?

Sure.

On that boat coming over.

What'd you ask me?

About Brooklyn, where it was.

I've heard so much about it.

Over there.

- Where are you from?

- New York.

- What are you handing me?

- Oh, no. You see,

I never get a chance to get out.

I just sit around all day,

and I never see anything.

So I said, the first vacation I get,

I'm going to see the Statue of Liberty.

This must be a big moment

for you, huh?

Oh, it is.

And it means so much to us now.

Why, I was just reading in this booklet.

Did you know this statue

was given to us by the French?

You know what they had written on it?

"Give me your tired, your poor,

your huddled masses,

yearning to breathe free;

the wretched refuse

of your teeming shore."

"Send these:
The homeless,

tempest-tossed to me."

And just look at the French.

Isn't it sad?

- Yeah. Very sad.

- Oh, it's such a beautiful statue.

I could just sit up here all day

thinking about it, couldn't you?

Some other day, maybe. Not right now.

Right now I gotta catch that boat back.

You coming?

Well, there's another boat in 15 minutes.

Couldn't we wait?

All the people have gone,

and we'd be alone.

Sounds cosy.

But I - I haven't got the time.

Oh, on a nice autumn day like this,

you couldn't spare 15 minutes for me?

I don't like autumn.

You're not being very nice

to a lonely girl.

You look as though you

might be lonely too.

Yeah.

I gotta catch that boat.

Fifteen minutes shouldn't make

such a big difference, Mr Fry.

Who are ya?

Come on. Quit stalling. Who are ya?

I think I told you.

A working girl on her day off.

Don't kid me!

What are you doing here?

It's rather a long story, Mr Fry.

It all started with an unknown blonde,

an aircraft worker at a factory

in California.

I get it.

Little Miss Liberty, carrying the torch.

- Why'd you follow me?

- Why do you think?

Take a look down there.

If you can't figure it out,

they're coming for you.

- Do you see him in this bunch?

- No.

Barnes, you stay here

and watch this end.

The rest of you, come with me.

You two, watch that side.

I'm going up.

- Barry!

- Pat, where is he?

- He started down!

- Are you sure?

He's up here! Come on!

Come on, Fry!

I'll get your sleeve.

Don't you go over!

If you slip, that'll be three gone.

Quick! Get a rope.

Can you get a grip with your feet?

Kane, I'm getting a rope!

They're getting a rope. Hold on, Fry.

I'll clear you.

I swear I will.

- I'll clear you.

- Hurry up with the rope!

Tell them quick. The sleeve.

Sleeve!

Kane!
