  We carry out the first investigation of the entanglement and mutual
information harvesting protocols for detectors freely falling into a black
hole. Working in $(1+1)$-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole spacetime, we
consider two pointlike Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detectors in different combinations
of free-falling and static trajectories. Employing a generalization of relative
velocity suitable for curved spacetimes, we find that the amount of
correlations extracted from the black hole vacuum, at least outside the
near-horizon regime, is largely kinematic in origin (i.e. it is mostly due to
the relative velocities of the detectors). Second, correlations can be
harvested purely from the black hole vacuum even when the detectors are
causally disconnected by the event horizon. Finally, we show that the
previously known `entanglement shadow' near the horizon is indeed absent for
the case of two free-falling-detectors, since their relative gravitational
redshift remains finite as the horizon is crossed, in accordance with the
equivalence principle.
