Catch Me If You Can Page #11

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!

- Stay seated.

You must stay seated

until the aircraft

has come to a complete stop.

God almighty.

Chestnuts roasting

on an open fire...

Jack Frost nipping

at your nose

Yuletide carols

being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up

like Eskimos

Everybody knows

A turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make

the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes

all aglow

Will find it hard

to sleep tonight...

What's your name?

They know that santa's

on his way...

Where's your mommy?

...He's loaded lots of toys

and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child

is gonna spy

To see if reindeer

really know how to fly...

And so I'm offering

this simple phrase...

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.

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?
