"Thank you." "Number One, why, with all your talent... and you're obviously a very bright fellow... why didn't you go in for a legitimate profession?" "It was really a question of dollars and cents." "When I was a young man, I needed the money and I thought this list of careers was the easiest way to get it." "I see." "Number Two, I find this all very fascinating." "Who was it that finally caught you?" "His name was Carl Hanratty." "Han-an-an-ratty." "Ratty." "Hanratty." "Han-ratty." "Carl Hanratty." " Yes." " I... am..." "Carl Hanratty."

"The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned." "The second mouse..." "wouldn't quit." "He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out." "Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse." "You're a better dancer than your father, Frankie." "You hear that, Daddy?" "Like fun." "The girls don't know what they're in for." "show him the dance you were doing when we met." "Ah, who can remember?" "The people in that little French village were so happy to see Americans they decided to put on a show for us." "so they crammed 200 soldiers..." "Yeah, we know the story, Daddy." "...into that tiny social hall and the first person to walk onstage is your mother, and she starts to dance." "You know, it had been months since we'd even seen a woman and here's this blonde angel." "Blonde bombshell." "And the men are literally holding their breath." "Holding their breath for you." "You hear that?" "Mm-hmm." "And I turned to my buddies and I said..." ""I will not leave France without her."" "And I didn't." "You didn't." "I didn't." "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit, the rug!" "Aw, Mom..." "I can't believe I did that." "No, no, it's nothing." "It's nothing." "Oh, Frankie, Frankie, get a towel." " Yeah, yeah." " Paula..." "Come on." "My sweet embraceable you..." "Dance with me, Paula."

"It's important." "I-I'm sorry, we don't open for half an hour." "What's your name, ma'am?" "Darcy." "Darcy." "That's a pretty name." "I'm in a bit of a fix." "I need a suit for my kid." "This is my son Frank." "Oh, hi." "He needs a black suit." "Black suit..." "There was a death in the family." "My father, 5 years old, war hero." "Yeah?" "There's a funeral this afternoon, military funeral planes flying overhead, 21-gun salute." "Geez." "Frank needs to borrow a suit for a couple of hours." "I'm sorry, we don't loan suits, and we're not open." "Darcy..." "Darcy, please." " Come back." "Darcy... is this yours?" "I just found it in the parking lot." "Uh-huh." "It must've slipped right off your neck." "Don't hit the curb." "Now get out, walk around the back and hold the door open for me." "All right." "What's next?" "Okay, stop grinning." "When I get inside, you go back to the front seat and wait." "Even if a cop comes and writes you a ticket you don't move the car, understood?" "Dad, wha-what's all this for?" "You know why the Yankees always win, Frank?" "'Cause they have Mickey Mantle?" "No, it's 'cause the other teams can't stop staring at those damn pinstripes." "Watch this." "The manager of Chase Manhattan Bank is about to open the door for your father." "Mr. Abagnale, um we don't usually loan money to people who have unresolved business with the IRS." "That's a misunderstanding." "I hired the wrong guy to do my books." "A mistake, I..." "anybody could make it." "I just need you guys to help me weather the storm." "sir, you're being investigated by the government for tax fraud." "My store is a landmark in New Rochelle." "I have customers all over New York." "Well, you're not a customer at Chase Manhattan." "We don't know you." "I'm sure your bank in New Rochelle they know you, they could help you out." "My bank went out of business." "Banks like this one put them out of business." "Now, I know I made a mistake, I admit that but these people want blood." "They want my store." "They've threatened to put me in jail." "This is America, right?" "I'm not a criminal." "I'm a Medal of Honor winner a lifetime member of the New Rochelle Rotary Club." "All I'm asking is for you to help me beat these guys." "It's not a question of winning and losing." "It's a question of risk." "You're the largest bank in the world." "Where's the fu..." "Whe..." "Where's the risk?" "Dad, how could you just let him take our car like that?" "He didn't take anything." "We took him." "He overpaid by $500." "Come on, Frank." "Let's return the suit." "This place is good." "It's small but, you know it's going to be a lot less work." "A lot less work for you." "Hey, Dad." "Hi." "Where's your mother?" "I don't know." "she said something about going to look for a job." "What's she gonna be a shoe salesman at a centipede farm?" "What are you doing?" "You want some pancakes?" "For dinner?" "On my son's 16th birthday?" "We're not gonna eat pancakes." "Come on, why are you looking at me like that?" "You thought I forgot?" " I didn't think you forgot." " I opened a checking account in your name." "I put $25 in the account so you can buy whatever you want." "Don't tell your mother." "I won't." "Thanks, Dad." "Yep." "Didn't that bank turn you down for a loan, though?" "Yes, they all turned me down." "Then why you opening a banking account with them?" "Well, because one day, you'll want something from these people..." "a house, a car." "They have all the money." "There's 50 checks there, Frank which means, from this day on... you're in their little club." "I'm in their little club." "You got that, you got it all." "It's even got my name there, huh?" "To the moon." " To the moon!" " To the moon." "see that?" "It's just a school." "No different than Westbourne." "Ma... you said you were going to quit." "Frankie, you don't have to wear the uniform here." "Why don't you take off your jacket?" "I'm used to it." "Excuse me." "Oh, yes?" "Do you know where room 17 French is?" "Yeah, it's..." "But you frickin' killed him." "You selling encyclopedias?" "Yeah, he looks like a substitute teacher." "Quiet down, people!" "My name is Mr. Abagnale!" "That's Abagnale, not Abagnahlee not Abagnaylee, but Abagnale!" "Now, somebody please tell me where you left off in your textbooks." "Excuse me, people, if I need to ask again" "I'm going to write up the entire class." "Take your seats!" "Chapter seven." "Will you please open your textbooks to, uh, chapter eight and we'll get started?" "Excuse me, what's your name?" "Brad." "Brad, why don't you get up here in front of the class here and read conversation number five?" ": "Les Francais sonts" ""uh, generalement" " "dans leur pais que... presque tout le monde a cette impression..."" "They sent for me." "They said they needed a sub for Roberta." "I came all the way from-from Dixon." "Well, uh, I always sub for Roberta." "Excuse me, why aren't you reading?" "I'll never come back to-to Bellarmine Jefferson again!" " You tell them not to call me!" "What do they think, it's easy for a woman my age and all the money that it costs to travel?" "I tell you, they don't give a damn." "Mr. And Mrs. Abagnale this is not a question of your son's attendance." "I regret to inform you that, for the past week" "Frank has been teaching Mrs. Glasser's French class." "He what?" "Your son has been pretending to be a substitute teacher lecturing the students, uh, giving out homework." "Mrs. Glasser has been ill and there was some confusion with the real sub." "Your son held a teacher-parent conference yesterday and was planning a class field trip to a French bread factory in Trenton." "Do you see the problem we have?" " Mrs. Davenport?" " Yeah." "Uh, I have a note to miss fifth and sixth period today." "Doctor's appointment." " One moment." "I'll be right with you." "Hey..." "Yes?" "You should fold it." "What?" "That note." "It's a fake, right?" "You should fold it." "It's..." "It's a note from my mom." "I have a doctor's appointment." "Yeah, but there's no crease in the paper." "When your mom hands you a note to miss school the first thing you do is, you fold it and you put it in your pocket." "I mean, if it's real, where's the crease?" "Frankie." "Ma, I'm home." "Oh, you remember that girl Joanna" "I was telling you about?" "I asked her out today." "Think we're going to go to the Junior Prom." "Ma, is this my driver's license?" "That's all there is, two bedrooms." "Oh, Frankie." "You remember Dad's friend?" "Jack Barnes?" "From the club." "Hello." "He came by looking for your father." "I was giving him a tour of the apartment." "It's very, uh, uh, spacious, Paula." "Dad's at the store." "so, Frank..." "you're getting to look more like your old man every day." "Thanks for the sandwich, Paula." "I'll see you later, eh?" "Wait." "Is this yours?" "Oh." "Well, thanks, Frank." "Uh, that's the President's pin." "I'd be in deep trouble if I lost that." "I'll see you all later, eh?" "Are you hungry, Frankie?" "I'll make you a sandwich." "Jack wanted to talk business with your father." "He thinks we should get a lawyer and sue the government." "That is not legal, what they're doing to us." "Why aren't you saying anything?" "You're not going to tell him..." "are you?" "No." "That's right." "There's nothing to tell." "I'm going out for a few hours to visit some old friends from the tennis club and... when I get home, we'll all have dinner together." "Right?" "But you won't say anything because it's..." "it's just silly, isn't it?" "How could we sue anybody?" "Oh... do you need some money, Frankie?" "A few dollars to buy some record albums?" "Here, take five dollars." "Or-Or ten." "You promised you were going to quit." "Ma, I'm home!" "Hey, hey!" "You..." "You stay away from me, hear me?" "You stay away from me..." "I don't know who you are but if you ever come back here again..." "Frankie!" "Frank, Frank, calm down, will you?" "I'm Dick Kesner." "Now, I want you to leave your things here and follow me into the next room, okay?" "They're all waiting for you." "You don't have to be scared." "I'm right here, Frank." "I'll always be here." "But there are laws." "Everything in this country has to be legal." "so what we need to do is make some decisions." "That's what Mr. Kesner is here for." "Many times these decisions are left up to the courts but that can be very expensive, Frank people fighting over their children." "Nobody is fighting." "Look at me, Frank." "Nobody is fighting." "Dad, what's going on?" "Dad, what's going on?" "Do you remember your grandma, Eve?" "she arrived this morning." "Hello." "Do you understand what we're saying to you, Frank?" "Your father and I are getting a divorce." "Nothing's gonna change." "We're still gonna see each other." "stop it, please, Frank." "Don't interrupt." "Frank, you don't have to read all of this." "Most of it's for your parents..." "boring adult business... but this paragraph right here, this is important because it states who you're gonna live with... after the divorce... whose custody you will be in." "And there's a blank space right here." "And I want you to go into the kitchen sit at the table and put a name down." "You can take as long as you want but when you come back into this room..." "I want to see a name on that line." "Frank, just write down a name and this will all be over." "It's gonna be okay." "FRANK:" "Dad, what name?" "Your mother or your father." "Just put the name there." "It's as simple as that." "And don't look so scared." "It's not a test." "There's no wrong answer." "Hi." "One ticket to Grand Central, please." "That'll be $3.50, sir." "Is it okay if I write you a check?" "Carl, when do I get to call my father?" "You can call him when we get to New York." "We leave for the airport in seven hours." "Until then, just sit there." "Be quiet." "You know, Carl, on the other side of the hotel they got suites that face the park." "It's the best room the FBI can afford." "It's okay, I've stayed in worse." "Mr. Mudrick..." "Mr. Mudrick, please." "You have to listen." "I don't want to hear your story." "This is two checks that bounced." "You know how much trouble I'm in?" "No, but listen, I'm telling you, the bank, they made the mistake." "I'll write you another check right now!" "What, do I look like I was born yesterday?" "Look, it's midnight, Mr. Mudrick." "Where am I gonna go?" "You're a goddamn kid." "Go home." "I mean, I hope you understand." "My boss sent me to Brooklyn, then Queens." "Now he wants me in Long Island to take a few clients out for a night on the town." "I'm sorry, but we're not allowed to cash checks from other banks." "How would we know if they were any good?" "What did you say your name was?" "Ashley." "Ashley... you know what I found on the sidewalk out there?" "Must've slipped right off your neck." "Is there something I can help you with, son?" "Well, you see, it's my grandmother's birthday next week and I want to get her something extra-special." "Please, I mean it's my midterm next week and my books were stolen." "Please, it's just five dollars." "No one would have to know." "I'm sorry, but we are not allowed to take checks from people we don't know." "Pleasure to have you back, Captain Carlson." "What do you think, Angelo?" "The tomatoes are ripe this afternoon." "Well, what have we here?" " Can I have your autograph?" " You betcha." " Can I have your autograph, too?" " You gonna be a pilot?" " Mm-hmm!" " All right, then." "There you go." "Work hard in school." "Dear Dad:" "I have decided to become an airline pilot." "I have applied to all the big airlines and I have several promising interviews lined up." "How's Mom?" "Have you called her lately?" "Love, your son, Frank." "Hello." "I'm Frank Black from Murrow High school and I have an appointment with Mr. Morgan." "You're the young man who's writing the article for the school paper." "Yes, ma'am, that's me." "I want to know everything there is to know about being a pilot." "What airports does Pan Am fly to?" "What does a pilot make in a year?" "And who tells them where they're gonna fly to?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Slow down." "Just take 'em one at a time." "All right." "What does it mean when one pilot says to another pilot:" ""What kind of equipment are you on?"" "They just want to know what kind of aircraft you're flying:" "Is it a DC-:707, Constellation?" "And what about those I.D. badges that I've seen pilots wear?" "Well, every pilot has to have two things with him at all times:" "One is his airline personnel badge..." "Looks just like this one here, from Pan Am... the other one is their FAA license... and that looks just like this." "Oh." "Sir, do you think I can make a copy of this to put into my article?" "Oh, Frank, you can have that one." "It's three years expired." "Aw, thanks!" "And what about your I.D. badge?" "You have an extra one I could borrow?" "Oh, no, I can't help you there." "Those are special-ordered from Polaroid." "The only way to get one of those is to become a real live pilot for Pan American Airways." "Pan Am, may I help you?" "Yeah, hello." "I'm calling about a uniform." "Hold for Purchasing." "Thank you." "Purchasing." "Hi." "I'm a copilot based out of san Francisco." "I flew a flight into New York last night but the problem is" "I'm headed out to, uh, Paris in three hours." "How can we help you?" "I sent my uniform to be cleaned through the hotel and I..." "I guess they must have lost it." "They lost a uniform." "Happens all the time." "Go down to the Well-Built Uniform Company at Ninth and Broadway." "They're our uniform supplier." "I'll tell Mr. Rosen you're coming." "You look too young to be a pilot." "I'm a copilot." "Why so nervous?" "How would you feel if you, uh" "Lost your uniform first week on the job?" "Relax." "Pan Am's got lots of uniforms." "It's gonna be $164." "Great." "I'II, uh, I'll write you a check." "sorry, no checks, no cash." "You'll have to fill in your employee I.D. number and then I'll bill Pan Am." "They'll take it out of your next paycheck." "Even better." "Dear Dad:" "You always told me that an honest man has nothing to fear." "So I'm trying my best not to be afraid." "I'm sorry I ran away, but you don't have to worry." "I'm gonna get it all back now, Daddy." "I promise." "I'm going to get it all back." "Are you a real live pilot?" "I sure am, little lady." "What's your name?" "Celine." "Celine, it's a pleasure to meet you." "It's a pleasure to meet you, too." "That's fifty, seventy eighty, ninety, one hundred dollars." "You have yourself a great time in Paris." "I always do." "Excuse me." "I'm John Modiger." "I manage this branch." "I want to thank you for coming in and using our institution." "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, John." "I'll be back again." "Good." "Have you stayed with us before?" "Uh, no, I've been primarily based on the West Coast." "Is it all right if I write you a check for the room?" "No problem, sir." "Great." "Uh..." "I was also wondering if I could write you a personal check?" "For airline personnel, we cash personal checks up to $100." "Payroll checks we cash up to $300." "Did you say $300 for a payroll check?" "Dear Dad:" "I've decided to become a pilot for Pan American Airways... the most trusted name in the skies." "They've accepted me into their training program and told me that if I work hard" "I should earn my wings real soon." "Please get in touch with Joanna Carlton from the tenth grade." "Tell her I'm sorry that I could not take her to the Junior Prom." "Love, your son, Frank." "Hello, how are you?" "Fine, thank you." "I have a payroll check here I'd like to cash." "Certainly." "Thank you." "Uh, excuse me." "I'm sure you hear this all the time but you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen." "Yeah, I do get that all the time." "How would you like it?" "Oh, I'm sorry, sir." "We won't have any cash until the banks open in an hour but, uh, I'm sure they can cash your check at the airport." "The airport?" "Who cashes checks at the airport?" "Well, the airlines, sir." "They've always taken care of their own." "Hello." "Hi." "Are you deadheading?" "What?" "Are you my deadhead to Miami?" "Mi...?" "Yes, yes." "Yeah, I'm the deadhead." "Here you go." "You're a little late, but the jump seat is open." "You know it's been awhile since I've done this." "Which one's the jump seat again?" "Have a nice flight." "Are you my deadhead?" "Frank, Captain Oliver." " John Larkin, the copilot." " Hello." "Fred Tulley, flight engineer." "Frank Taylor, Pan Am." "Thanks for giving me a lift, boys." "Go ahead and take a seat, Frank." "We're about to push." "What kind of equipment you on, DC-:?" "Uh, 707." "You turning around on the redeye?" "Uh, I'm jumping puddles for the next few months trying to earn my keep running leapfrogs for the weak and weary." "No shame in that." "We all did it." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "Would you like a drink after takeoff?" "M-Milk?" "0 knots." "Check." "V-one." "Rotate." "V-two." "Positive rate." "Gear up." "Dear Dad:" "Today was graduation." "I am now a copilot earning $1,400 a month plus benefits and the best part is they tell me my family can fly for free." "So tell Mom to pack her bags and buy a new swimsuit because I'm taking us all to Hawaii for Christmas." "I love you, Dad." "Aloha, Frank." "Hello, deadhead." "Hello." "Enjoying your free ride?" "Marci... did you drop this?" "Must've slipped right off your neck." "No..." "No!" "No..." "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" "Yes!" "Why are you stopping?" "I want to tell you something, Marci." "This is by far... the best date I have ever been on." "I'd like to open a Money Market, please." "Okay." "Welcome to Miami Mutual Bank." "How may I help you?" "My name is Frank Taylor." "I'm a copilot for Pan Am." "I'd like to cash this check here, and then" "I'd like to take you out for a steak dinner." "And then we feed the checks into the MICR machine which uses special ink to encode the account numbers on the bottom of the checks." "And where are these numbers?" "They're, um... right here." "Right there?" "see?" "They're called routing numbers." "so where do the checks get routed to?" "You know, I don't exactly know." "Nobody ever asked me that before." "Our next item up for bid is also from the Jersey Central Bank foreclosure." "This is a MICR encoder a machine used to encode bank checks." "Do I have an opening bid?" "Our unknown subject is a paperhanger who started working on the East Coast." "In the last few weeks, this unsub has developed a new form of check fraud which I'm calling "the float."" "What he's doing is he's opening checking accounts at various banks then changing the MICR ink routing numbers at the bottom of those checks." "Next slide, please." "Next slide, please." "Uh, the remote thing is broken." "You'll have to do it by hand." "You've gotta... try the..." "Agent Mullen, it should be... it should be the square button just there by the side." "This carousel doesn't work." "It's a bad carousel you got there." "Thank you, Agent Mullen." "Got to move it manually." "This is a map of the 12 banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve." "slide." "MICR scanners at every bank read these numbers at the bottom of a check... slide... and then, ship that check off to its corresponding branch." "Carl, for those of us who are unfamiliar with bank fraud you mind telling us what the hell you're talking about?" "The East Coast branches are numbered zero-one to zero-six." "The central branch is zero-seven, zero-eight so on, so forth." "You mean those numbers on the bottom of a check actually mean something?" "All of this was in the report I filed two days ago." "If you change..." "a zero-two to a one-two that means that check, which was cashed in New York does not go to the New York Federal Branch but it is rerouted all the way to the san Francisco Federal Branch." "The bank doesn't even know the check has bounced for two weeks which means our unsub can stay in one place paper the same city over and over again while his checks circle the country." "You know, you want to talk to my wife." "she's the one balances the checkbook at our house." "Next slide." "Daddy!" "My son, the birdman." "some uniform, Frank." "What do you think?" "Nice." "sit down." "so, Dad..." "Daddy, have you gotten the postcards?" "Of course." "This fork is ice cold." "No, no, Dad, th-that's a chilled salad fork." "It's a fancy restaurant, you know." "Well, here..." "I-I got you something." "What's that?" "Open it." "You know what those are, right?" "Those are the keys to a 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible." "Brand-new, Dad." "Red with white interior split seats, air conditioning, the works." "Are you giving me a Cadillac?" "Yeah." "I'm giving you a Cadillac." "Dad, sh-she's parked downstairs." "When we're done eating lunch why don't you, you know, drive on over to Mom's house pick her up, take a little joyride?" "Do you know what would happen if the IRS found out" "I was driving around in a new coupe?" "I took the train here, Frank." "I'm taking the train home." "All right." "I have plenty of money." "You know, if you ever, ever need anything..." "You worried?" "About me?" "No, I'm not..." "I'm not worried." "You think I can't buy my own car?" "Two mice fell in a bucket of cream, Frank." "Which one am I?" "You're that second mouse." "I went by the store today." "I had to close the store for awhile." "It's all about timing, Frank." "The goddamn government knows that." "They hit you when you're down." "I wasn't going to let them take it from me, so I just... shut the doors myself, called their bluff." "sooner or later, they'll forget about me." "I understand, I..." "Have you told Ma?" "she's so stubborn, your mother." "Don't worry." "I'm not going to let her go without a fight." "I been fighting for us..." "Dad?" "...since the day we... we met." "Daddy, out of all those men you were the one that took her home, remember that." "200 men, sitting in that tiny social hall watching her dance." "What was the name of that town?" "Montrichard, Dad." "Yeah." "I didn't speak a word of French and six weeks later, she was my wi... she's your wife." "My son bought me a Cadillac today." "I think that calls for a toast." "To the best damn pilot in the sky." "It's not what you think." "I'm just a copilot." "You see these people staring at you?" "These are the most powerful people in New York City and they keep peeking over their shoulders wondering where you're going tonight." "Where you going, Frank?" "Dad, nobody's staring at me."

"And I'm reaching for my gun, but I can't find it in the bra." "It's so damn big" "I thought I was going to shoot my tits off." "You know, that's a funny story." "People always laugh at that story." "Let me ask you a question, Mr. Amdursky." "If you were having so much fun undercover why did you transfer to bank fraud?" "I didn't transfer." "I was censured and reassigned." "It's like being punished." "I was punished." "I screwed up in the field." "What about you, Mr. Fox?" "Were you... punished for screwing up in the field?" "Oh, no, no, no, I've never worked in the field before." "I audited background investigations of Department of Justice clerical applicants." "Well, that's just great." "I ask for a team and they drag the bottom of the Pacific." "You mind if I ask you a question, Agent Hanratty?" "How come you're so serious all the time?" "Does it bother you, Mr. Amdursky?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it does bother me." "Does it bother you, Mr. Fox?" "A little, I guess." "Well, would you like to hear me tell a joke?" "Yeah." "Yeah, we'd love to hear a joke from you." "Knock, knock."

"...Each one she passes goes ahh..." "What are you saying, he's still here?" "201." "...Oh, but he watches so sadly..." "Thank you." "Corner here." "Oh, thanks, son." "...How can he tell her he loves her... some steps." "steps." "Hey, Mr. Murphy, how are you?" "Is that Frank?" "Yeah, it's Frank." "Hey, Frank, how are you?" "How's the knee?" "Come on, I'll race you right now." "Take care." "Okay, Frank." ""Eyeball the back"?" "Come on, Carl, this guy's a pen and ink man." "A goddamn paperhanger." "He doesn't even carry a gun." "Why can't we go with you, Carl?" "You just keep your eyes open, do your job and I'll buy you both a Good Humor bar." "It's all right, ma'am." "FBI." "201... 201, 201." "201... 201... 201... 201... 201..." "FBI!" "FBI!" "Come out of the bathroom!" "step out of the bathroom!" "Hands on your head." "Oh, that's the new IBM selectric." "Put your hands on your head."

"I don't know what you're talking about." "You think the FBI are the only ones on this guy?" "I mean, come on." "Come on, he's dabbling in government checks here." "We've been following a paper trail on this guy for months now." "Hey, you mind taking that gun out of my face?" "Please." "Really." "I mean, it makes me nervous." "Let me see some credentials." "Yeah, sure." "Take my whole wallet." "You want my gun, too?" "Come over here." "Take my gun." "Hey, hey, look, just do me a favor." "Take a look outside." "Look." "Look out the window." "My partner's walking him to the car as we speak..." "Look." "Old guy almost pissed in his pants when I came through the door." "He jumped right through the window onto the hood of my car." "Hey, Murph?" " Yeah?" " Call the LAPD again." "I don't want people walking through my crime scene." "I didn't expect the secret service on this." "Don't worry about it." "Well, what's your name?" "Hanratty, Carl Hanratty." "Mind if I see some identification?" "sure." "You never can be too careful these days." "Well, tough luck, Carl." "Five minutes earlier you would've landed yourself a pretty good collar." "It's all right." "Ten seconds later, and you'd have been shot." "Mind if I come downstairs with you?" "I-I got to take a look at this guy." "sure thing." "Just, uh, do me a favor and sit tight for a second while I get this evidence downstairs." "You know, I don't want some maid walking through here and making the bed." "LAPD should be here any sec." "Wait." "Your wallet." "You hang onto it for a minute." "I trust you." "Oh..." "Yeah... secret service." "Hey!" "Oh, goddamn it!" "It was stupid." "I made a stupid mistake." "Forget about it." "There are hundreds of unknown subjects out there." "I-I can get this guy, sean."

"I heard his voice, sean, I saw his face." "There's nothing for him to hide behind anymore." "Just be careful." "You got 12 years in." "Nobody bothers you down on the first floor." "You practically wrote the book on bank fraud." "That's the kind of thing that can make you section chief someday." "Just don't put yourself in this type of position." "What type of position?" "Position of being humiliated." "sean, would you like to hear me tell a joke?" "Yeah, sure." "Knock, knock!" "so, my-my next question is, when a pilot retires uh, Pan Am sends them a check every single month?" "Uh, yeah, pension program sends a check and benefits." "How much is that check for?" "Uh, kid, I'm really not in the mood for this right now." "This skywayman's driving me crazy." "Who's the skywayman?" "Ah, some nut that's flying around the country posing as a Pan Am pilot." "There's a column about him in the paper today." "I keep telling them this is not my problem." "This guy doesn't even fly Pan Am." "Flies everybody else." "Flies United, TWA, Continental, Eastern..." "The skywayman." "Newspaper loves this clown." "They call him "the James Bond of the sky."" "Did you say...?" "Bond, James Bond." "Tell me, Joan, why does he do it?" "He likes to win." "Come on, come on." "We'll be landing in 20 minutes." "Do you want to play it easy or the hard way?" "And this isn't a tranquilizer." "Well, Pussy, you do know a lot more about planes than guns." "Hello, Pussy." "Now, you're sure this is the suit, right?" "Positive." "It's the exact suit he wore in the movie." "Okay." "I'll take three." "Certainly, Mr. Fleming." "Now what you need is one of those little foreign sports cars that he drives." "The look of love" "Is in your eyes..." "Hello." "Hi." "...The look your heart..." "Haven't I seen you before?" "...Can't disguise..." "Maybe." "A couple years ago, I was on the cover of Seventeen." "Yeah." "You're that model, right?" "Cheryl." "Yes." "The guys used to put your picture on their lockers." "Isn't that your silver car I saw parked out front?" "Yeah." "One of them." "Well, it takes my breath away... so, think I could get an autograph?" "...I can hardly wait to hold you" "Feel my arms around you..." "Do you have a pen in your room?" "...How long I have waited..." "You've got the look of love" "It's on your face" "A look that time can't erase... shh." "...Be mine tonight..." "Man like you can buy anything he wants." "...Let this be just the start" "Of so many nights like this..." "He buys a deck of cards at the hotel gift shop." "...And then seal it with a kiss..." "Well, you want to see a card trick?" "...I can hardly wait to hold you..." "How much did these cards cost?" "...Feel my arms around you..." "Oh, 55 cents, I think." "...Waited just to love you..." "And if they sold me downstairs at the hotel gift shop... how much would you pay?" "I'm sor..." "I'm sorry, how mu..." "how much would I pay for what?" "The entire night." "How much would you pay me for the entire night?" "Cheryl, I..." "I really don't know." "...I can hardly wait to hold you..." "Don't be scared." "...How long I have waited..." "Make me an offer." "...Now that I have found you" "Don't ever go... $300?" "Go fish." "Uh, $500?" "Go fish." "$600." "Go fish." "$1,000." "Okay." "$1,000." "Okay." "I'll be right back." "Wait a second." "Where are you going?" "I'm going downstairs to cash a check." "You think this hotel is going to cash a $1,000 check at 3:00am?" "It's a New York savings and Loan check." "It's like gold." "They'll cash it." "Don't you think they might get a little suspicious?" "Let me see that." "It's a cashier's check." "Endorse it over to me." "No." "I couldn't do that." "see, this check is for $1,400." "We agreed upon $1,000." "Why don't I give you back $400 and you give me that check?" "Even better." "The look of love" "Is in your eyes..." "Does this belong to anybody?" "Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say..." "On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day..." "This is Hanratty." "Merry Christmas." "Hello, Carl." "Hello." "...That we send to you, from the land..." "Barry Allen, secret service." "I've been trying to track you down now for the last couple of hours." "What do you want?" "I wanted to apologize for what happened out in Los Angeles." "Uh-uh, uh-uh." "No, no, you don't apologize to me." "Do you always work on Christmas Eve, Carl?" "I volunteered so men with families could go home early." "Looked like you were wearing a wedding ring out in Los Angeles." "I thought maybe you had a family." "No." "No family." "You want to talk to me... let's talk face-to-face." "All right." "I'm at my suite at the stuyvesant Arms, room 3113." "In the morning, I leave for Las Vegas for the weekend." "You think you're going to get me again?" "You're not going to Vegas." "You're not in the stuyvesant Arms." "You'd love for me to send out 20 agents Christmas Eve we barge into your hotel, knock down the door so you can make fools out of us all." "I'm really sorry if I made a fool out of you." "I really am." "Uh-uh, no." "No, listen, I really am." "No, no, you-you do not feel sorry for me." "The truth is, I knew it was you." "Now maybe I didn't get the cuffs on you, but I knew." "Ah, people only know what you tell them, Carl." "Well, then tell me this, Barry Allen, secret service." "How did you know I wouldn't look in your wallet?" "The same reason the Yankees always win." "Nobody can keep their eyes off the pinstripes." "The Yankees win because they have Mickey Mantle." "No one ever bets on the uniform." "You sure about that, Carl?" "I'll tell you what I am sure of." "You're going to get caught." "One way or another, it's a mathematical fact." "It's-It's like Vegas." "The House always wins." "Well, Carl, I'm sorry, but I have to go." "Ah." "You didn't call just to apologize, did you?" "What do you mean?" "You... you..." "you have no one else to call." "Oh, ho, ho." "...Morn and night..." "You got that burger up?" "Yep." " Hi." " Hi!"

"Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury this is irrefutable evidence that the defendant is, in fact, lying." "Mr. Conners, this is a preliminary hearing." "There is no... defendant."

"You call her, and you tell her" "I have two first-class tickets to go see her son's wedding..." "Your mother's married now, to my friend Jack Barnes." "They have a house in Long Island." "I had an FBI agent come see me." "You got their number, son." "The guy looked scared." "The United states government, champ, running for the hills." "Pow!" "To the moon!" "Dad... it's over." "I'm going to stop now." "But y-you've..." "They're never going to catch you, Frank." " Dad, she wouldn't do that." " Why won't you sit down?" " Why would she do that to you?" " Come on, sit." "Come on, sit with me." "Have a drink." "I'm your father." "Then ask me to stop." "Then ask me to stop." "You can't stop." "Where are you going?" "Come on, Frank, where are you going?"

"I want it to be over." "I'm getting married." "You know, I'm settling down." "You've stolen almost $4 million." "You think we can just call that a wedding present?" "Nah, this isn't something you get to walk away from, Frank." "I want to call a truce." "No truce." "You will be caught, you will go to prison." "Where did you think this was going?" "Please leave me alone, Carl." "Please?" "I'm getting close, aren't I?" "You're scared because I'm getting close."

"Come on, Carl, the kid would've changed his name by now." "Mm-mm." "He can't change it." "she thinks he's Conners." "If he loses the name, he loses the girl."

"Brenda, you love me, right?" "Yes." "I mean, you'd love me no matter what." "Yes." "I mean, you'd love me whether I was sick or whether I was poor or even if I had a different name." "Frank, where'd you get all that money?" "Brenda, listen." "A name, right?" "A name, it doesn't matter." "My name is Frank Conners, right?" " That's who I am with you." " Yes."

"skycap, Gate 14." "Taxi!" "Your attention..." "Brenda." "This guy's a no-show." "He must've got wise to us." "Maybe he was tipped." "If he's not here today, he'll be tomorrow." "We'll get him before he leaves the country." "He doesn't have a passport." "For the last six months, he's gone to Harvard and Berkeley." "I'm betting he can get a passport." "so we have all our men waiting for him here in Miami International." "He's used it before." "He knows the layout." "I talked to Miami police;" "they've offered us 50 uniformed cops in two shifts of 25." "With our guys, that's almost 100 men in one airport." "Don't you think we should spread it around?" "No, no, this is the exit point." "Well, how do you know he hasn't rented a car and driven to airports in New York, Atlanta?" "Because I'm not in New York." "I'm not in Atlanta." "Yes, this is, uh, Frank Roberts and I'm letting all the universities in the area know that Pan Am will be initiating a new recruiting program this year." "I'II, uh, be stopping by your campus tomorrow morning." "Thank you all very much for coming." "At the end of the day" "I'll be choosing eight young ladies to be a part of Pan Am's future stewardess flight crew program." "Now, these eight young ladies will accompany me on a two-month public relations tour through Europe." "They will discover firsthand what it takes to be a Pan American stewardess." "Give me at least two men..." "Nah, one man per every two counters." " Mm-hmm." " All right?" "Amdursky?" "Yeah?" "Make sure your uniforms are covering the sidewalk entrances and exits." "Hey..." "let's have, uh, periodic sweeps of the men's lav." "You, here." "What qualifies me to be a future stewardess?" "Well, I think that I'm really friendly and I can really help out and, um, make people feel welcome on the plane and..." "We'll be traveling at 6,000 miles per hour at an altitude of 300 feet." "All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..." "Ilene Anderson." "Miggy Acker." "Debra Jo McMillan." "Candy Heston." "Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away" "If you can use some exotic booze" "There's a bar in far Bombay" "Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away" "Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru" "In llama land there's a one-man band" "And he'll toot his flute for you" "Come fly with me..." "Hi." "...Let's take off in the blue" "Once I get you up there" "Where the air is rarefied" "We'll just glide starry-eyed" "Once I get you up there..." "You see that blonde out front?" "I should have been a pilot." "Exactly." "Mr. Carl Hanratty please pick up the courtesy telephone." "Hanratty." "Carl, your walkie-talkie wasn't working." "There's a guy in a Pan Am uniform sitting in a white Coupe DeVille out in front of Terminal J." "That's the charter terminal." "Can you get a look at his face?" "He's got his pilot's cap on." "Carl, I think it's him!" "...Just say the words, and we'll beat the birds" "Down to Acapulco Bay..." "Watch out, watch out, watch out!" "...It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say..." "Out of the car, Frank." "Frank?" "!" "step out of the car!" "Keep your hands where I can see 'em." "Don't shoot me!" "I'm just a driver." "A man paid me $100 to wear this uniform and pick someone up at the airport." "Who you picking up?" "Hey!" "Pack up, let's fly away." "South America, Australia" "Singapore, Egypt." "The kid's gone completely out of control." "Why wasn't I called?" "Nobody was called, sir." "The banks didn't know what was happening till last week." "That's impossible." "They didn't call 'cause it's not counterfeiting." " It's something else." " Well, what is he doing?" "He's making real checks, sir." "These are so perfect the airline didn't know the difference." "Last check was cashed in Madrid a week ago." "My guess is he's still there." "We have to leave now, sir." "Today." "Go where?" "spain?" "You want to go to spain?" "Well, eventually, he's got to go back to where the checks were printed." "I think that's why he's moving back through Europe." "Look at the map, sir." "He's making a circle." "He's running out of checks." "I know it's a..." "it's a long shot, sir but if we track him from Madrid, sir, we could still catch him." "I'm sorry, Carl, if you couldn't catch him here you're not going to catch him there." "But, sir, we're going to let him get away." "No, Carl, you let him get away." "A perfect one-16th all the way around." "Hmm!" "Color separation is flawless." "There's no bleeding." "Hmm." "Nobody does work like this in the states." "Nobody but us." "Where was it printed?" "It was printed on a monster..." "A monster." "...a Heidelberg, an Istra..." "Heidelberg." "...a dinosaur, four colors." "You can smell the weight." "Two tons, without the ink." "Where do they do printing like this?" "Germany, Great Britain..." "France." "France!" "France." "Frank's mother said the name of a village in France where they didn't have sara Lee." "The village where she met Frank's father." "Oh, yeah, I don't remember, uh..." "It started with an M. It was, uh, "Mont" something." ""Mont." Mr. Fox?" "Uh, yes, yes." "Question: "You met your husband during the war?"" ""Yes, I lived in a small village in France." "Yeah, right." ""The kind of place where they never heard of sara Lee."" "Tell me you wrote down the name of the village, Mr. Fox." "Montrichard." "Laeti triumphantes" "Venite, venite" "In Bethlehem" "Natum videte" "Regem angelorum" "Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus" "Venite..." "Carl?" "Carl!" "Merry Christmas!" "How is it that we're always talking on Christmas, Carl?" "Every Christmas I'm talking to you!" "Put your shirt on, Frank." "You're under arrest." "Hey, are you hungry?" "Do you want some beans, Carl?" "They got the best French beans here." "Here, give these a try." "There's two dozen French police officers outside." "Carl, I gotta tell you, they're delicious." "They wanted to bring you in." "You want a bite?" "But they needed the help of an American." "Are you hungry?" "You want a bite?" "But I told them I wouldn't bring them to you unless I could put the cuffs on you myself." "Well, you have a gun?" "You have a gun?" " No gun?" " No." "No gun." "And-and you're..." "and you're telling me what?" "There's, uh, there's uh... there's two dozen French police officers out there right now on Christmas Eve?" "That's what you're telling me?" "Yeah." "All right, all right." "Well, there's no windows here." "I'm going to take a look out the front door." "No!" "No!" "I told them I'd walk out first and give a signal." "Here, you can put these on yourself." "No, I can't do that!" "I can't do that." "You know why?" "'Cause I think you're full of shit." "I don't..." "I don't think there's anyone else out there." "I think..." "I think it's just me and you." "That's right." "I think it's just me and you, and you know what?" "You're going to have to catch me yourself!" "I wo... we don't have time for this." "Ah, that's good." "That's good." "Tell me what you want me to see, huh?" "I wouldn't lie to you." "Look, you're wearing a wedding ring." "You're wearing a wedding ring, Carl!" "You lied to me about that!" "Didn't you lie about that?" "!" "You asked me if I had a family." "I did, but I don't anymore." "Yes?" "No, no, no, there is no problem." "We're coming out right now." "Whoa, that was good." "That was good." "What, did you..." "you pay some hotel desk clerk to make that call for you, is that what you did?" "It was Captain Luc." "I've got one minute to bring you out." "Captain Luc?" "Captain Luc!" "Ooh, Captain Luc." "Well, Carl, I gotta say that-that sounds pretty official to me but like I said, I..." "I think it's just me and you here, it's me and you." "so you're going to have to catch me." "Frank." "Frank!" "You have to trust me on this!" "These people have been embarrassed, Frank." "They're angry." "You rob their banks, you steal their money you live in their country." "I told you this was what was going to happen that there was no other way for it to end." "Don't make a mistake!" "That's good." "That's good, Carl, you know?" "Keep pushing that lie." "Keep pushing it." "Keep pushing till you make it true." "They're going to kill you!" "You walk out that door, they're going to kill you." "Is that the truth?" "Yeah." "You have any children, Carl?" "I have a four-year-old daughter." "You swear on your daughter?" "You swear?" "You swear?" "Redit ce chant melodieux" "Gloria" "In excelsius Deo" "Gloria..." "That was really good, Carl." "I have him in custody." "I got him." "I got him!" "It's all right!" "It's all right!" "I got him!" "Hey, I want it..." "I want it on the record." "Frank Abagnale surrendered of his own accord." "Understood?" "Understood?" "Where are you taking him?" "I'm..." "I'm supposed to go." "Where are you taking him?" "Let me in the..." "Let me in the car!" "Hey!" "Let me in the car!" "Gloria..." "Don't worry, Frank!" "I'll have you extradited back to the United States." "Don't worry." "Gloria" "In excelsius Deo." "Carl..." "Carl, you have to remember to let me call my father when we land." "I just want to, I want to talk to him before he sees me on television or something like that." "Carl, look." "That's LaGuardia right there." "Runway 4-4." "Frank, your father is dead." "I'm sorry." "I didn't want to say anything till we got closer to home." "He-He..." "He fell down some steps at Grand Central station trying to catch a train." "I didn't want to be the one to tell you." "You're lying, right?" "You said I could talk to him." "Carl, who are you to... who are you to say something like that, huh?" "Who are you to say something like that?" "You said I could talk to him." "He fell, and he..." "and he broke his neck." "I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry." "Goddamn it!" "Carl, I'm going to be sick!" " It's all right." "It's all right." "It's okay." "Carl, I got to go to the bathroom." "I'm going to be sick." "sure." "Let's go in the bathroom." "Goddamn it!" "Oh, Daddy..." "You'll have take your seat, sir." "I've told you twice." "We're landing." " Sorry." "Thank you..." " All of you." "Frank!" "Come on now." " Frank?" " We're landing in six minutes." "All of you need to be in your seats" " With your seat belts fastened." " Frank, open the door!" "Frank!" " You do it." " Yeah." "Frank!" "Frank!" "All right, remain seated, everyone, please." "FBI." "Stay seated." "FBI." "Stay seated." " Please remain seated!"

"To kids from one to 92" "Although it's been said many times" "Many ways:" ""Merry Christmas..."" "Hands behind your head!" "...To you." "Carl, get me in the car, please." "Get me in the car." "Put him in." "Taking into account the gravity of these crimes your history of bold and elusive behavior and your complete lack of respect for the laws of the United States" "I have no choice but to ignore your request to be treated as a minor and sentence you to 12 years in Atlanta's maximum security prison and recommend strongly that you be kept in isolation for the entirety of that sentence." "..."Merry Christmas to you."" "Use that door over there." "...and give everyone my love." "I think about them all the time." "Merry Christmas, Frank." "Hey, I got you some comic books here." "How's your daughter?" "What was her name?" "Grace." "Well..." "I don't know." "she lives with her mother in Chicago and I don't get to see her much." "What's in the briefcase?" "Oh." "I'm on my way to the airport." "It's a paperhanger who's working his way through Minnesota." "Aw, geez, he's..." "he's driving us crazy." "You got any of the checks?" "Yeah, yeah, I got a..." "a counterfeit that he drew on the Great Lakes savings and Loan." "see, he's just using a stencil machine and an Underwood." "Yeah, it's a teller at the bank." "say again?" "I-It's definitely a teller, Carl." "I mean, banks, they always use hand-stamps for the dates, see." "They get used over and over again so they always get worn out and the numbers are always cracking." "The sixes and the nines..." "see, they go first." "Thanks." "I'd like you to take a look at something for me." "Tell me what you think." "That's a fake." "How do you know?" "You haven't looked at it." "Well, there's no perforated edge, right?" "I mean, this... this check was hand-cut, not fed." "Yeah..." "Paper is double-bonded much too heavy to be a bank check." "Magnetic ink, it's, uh, raised against my fingers instead of flat." "And this doesn't smell like MICR." "It's some kind of a... you know, some kind of a drafting ink." "You know, the kind you get at a stationery store." "Frank... would you be interested in working with the FBI's Financial Crimes Unit?" "I already got a job here." "You know, I, uh, deliver the mail." "Frank, we have the power to take you out of prison." "You'd be placed in the custody of the FBI where you'd serve out the remainder of your sentence as an employee of the federal government." "Under whose custody?" "Hi." "I-I'm Frank Abagnale." "I'm supposed to start work here today." "It's a tour company operating out of the BVI." "sir, Mr. Abagnale is here." "I'm going to call you back." "Hello, Carl." "Welcome to the FBI." "I'll show you where you're working." "Carl... how long do I have to work here?" "It's: :15 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon." "45 minutes for lunch." "No, I..." "I mean, how long?" "Every day." "Every day, Frank, till we let you go." " Yeah." " Hey, Carl." " Hi." "How you doing?" "It's not a good time, Frank." "I'm clearing my desk for the weekend." "Carl, you mind if I come to work with you tomorrow?" "Tomorrow is saturday." "I'm flying to Chicago to see my daughter." "I'll be back to work on Monday." "You're going to see Grace, huh?" "Well, that's the plan." "so what should I do till Monday?" "I'm sorry, kid, I can't help you there." "Excuse me." "This is Hanratty." "Oh, yeah, put him on." "Mr. Sawyer." "How are you?" "I have a half a dozen more checks on that tour operator at the BVI." "American Airlines 355 serving Chicago and san Francisco is now open for passenger check-in." "How'd you do it, Frank?" "How'd you pass the bar in Louisiana?" "What are you doing here?" "Listen..." "I'm sorry I put you through all this." "You go back to Europe, you're gonna die in Perpignan Prison." "You try to run here in the states we'll send you back to Atlanta for 50 years." "I know that." "I spent four years trying to arrange your release." "Had to convince my bosses at the FBI and the Attorney General of the United States you wouldn't run." "Why'd you do it?" "You're just a kid." "I'm not your kid." "You said you were going to Chicago." "My daughter can't see me this weekend." "she's going skiing." "You said she was four years old." "You're lying." "she was four when I left." "Now she's 15." "My wife's been remarried for 11 years." "I see Grace every now and again." "I don't understand." "sure you do." "sometimes it's easier living the lie." "I'm going to let you fly tonight, Frank." "I'm not even going to try to stop you." "That's 'cause I know you'll be back on Monday." "Yeah?" "How do you know I'll come back?" "Look." "Frank... nobody's chasing you." "American Airlines flight 131 to Pittsburgh is now ready for boarding." "Passengers with boarding passes, please proceed to Gate 23A." "Okay." "Alice, has he still not called?" "No, he hasn't." "Good morning." "I've, uh, called this meeting to discuss a new type of check fraud and counterfeiting which the unsub is washing and altering checks then passing them throughout Arizona." "This unsub is a big dog passing checks as large as five figures." "sorry I'm late." "sorry." "We have a recovered check on Agent Reiter's desk." "Why don't we step out to the bullpen?" "There's impressions on every line." "Looks like the original amount was for $60." "Mind if I take a look?" "Cashed in Flagstaff a week ago." "Cost the bank $16,000." "It's a real check." "Yeah." "Yeah." "It's been washed." "The only thing original is the signature." "But it's perfect, Carl." "I mean..." "I mean, this isn't hydrochloride or bleach." "No." "something new." "Maybe a nail polish remover where the acetone removes the ink that's not been printed?" "How did you do it, Frank?" "How did you cheat on the bar exam in Louisiana?" "I didn't cheat." "I studied for two weeks and I passed." "Is that the truth, Frank?" "Is that the truth?" "I'll bet this guy steals checks out of mailboxes." "He washes off their names and he puts on his own." "You're saying that he's a local?" "Well, if it were me, you know" "I'd call the bank first, I'd check out the balance..." "Make sure there's enough money in there to make it worth your while." "Exactly." "You know, Carl, I think this guy's pretty smart." "I guess all we have to do now is catch him." "We'll start first thing in the morning." "We'll run the name Eric Anthony Feeders." "In Nevada, Arizona, California." "Both names, right?" "Chris Frank, too?" "Yeah..."
