00:00:00The End
00:00:37The End
00:01:24This is Counterfeit Money.
00:01:27Counterfeiting began a few minutes after the first appearance of currency in the world.
00:01:33It's been going on ever since.
00:01:35It goes on today, but at a rapidly declining rate.
00:01:39The reason for the decline is the efficiency of the United States Secret Service.
00:01:44A branch of the Treasury Department, the Secret Service is made up of intelligent, conscientious men
00:01:49who work quietly, anonymously, and with lightning effectiveness.
00:01:55Because of their constant vigilance, it is almost impossible for a counterfeiter
00:01:59to remain in business very long without being caught.
00:02:02Sometimes it takes violence.
00:02:04Sometimes arrests are made peaceably.
00:02:07Seldom do they fail.
00:02:09Yet despite all the efforts of their vast organization,
00:02:13there was one counterfeiter who eluded the Secret Service longer than any other in their history.
00:02:18He was known as case number 880.
00:02:22As years went on, and it became the oldest unsolved case,
00:02:27they began to refer to it, in good-natured respect for a skillful adversary, as Mr. 880.
00:02:34The responsibility for his apprehension fell to the most active of the many Secret Service offices in the country.
00:02:40The one in New York.
00:02:43Because 880's activities were so aggravatingly unprofessional,
00:02:47he had them stumped.
00:02:49To add to their chagrin, the bills he produced were ridiculously inept.
00:02:56Callagher, if you were a shopkeeper, would you accept that as legal tender?
00:02:59I'd have to be blood.
00:03:01Now and then, when patients ran out,
00:03:03they would call in a troubleshooter,
00:03:06an agent from one of their other offices.
00:03:09This time, it was Steve Buchanan from the Los Angeles office.
00:03:13So far, he's averaged less than $50 a month.
00:03:15Can't say the man's been greedy.
00:03:18I guess that's why he's been tough to catch.
00:03:20Of course, what's tougher is the $1 bill?
00:03:23We'll never educate people to examine $1 bills.
00:03:27Obviously, he's an amateur.
00:03:30Come in bond paper, Inky can buy in any stationery store.
00:03:35Take a good look.
00:03:44This is practically insulting.
00:03:46In the past 10 years where we've been looking for that pest,
00:03:49this office has arrested and convicted 1,385 counterfeiters.
00:03:53We've broken up some of the most vicious gangs in our...
00:03:55You don't have to sell yourself to me, Ben.
00:03:57I'm just selling myself to myself, I guess.
00:04:00That's what 880 does to you.
00:04:01Let me ask you a question.
00:04:03You've evidently covered every angle and followed up every lead.
00:04:07What makes you think I can crack this?
00:04:09I don't.
00:04:10The idea came from Washington.
00:04:12Washington?
00:04:12Yes.
00:04:14The chief thinks we've gone stale.
00:04:16Thinks it needs a fresh mind.
00:04:19Somebody with patience and determination.
00:04:23He suggested you.
00:04:27Well, after four months with the butcher boy,
00:04:28this might come under the heading of fun and frolic.
00:04:30I warn you, it won't.
00:04:33Look, if you want out, Steve, I can fix it.
00:04:39Let me kick it around for a couple of days.
00:04:40I might hit on an angle.
00:04:45A couple of days, huh?
00:04:47We've been working on it for 10 years, Steve.
00:04:50Yeah, I know.
00:04:53Okay.
00:04:54Remember, I warned you.
00:04:58I know you're busy,
00:04:59but I'm rechecking all the people who got stuck.
00:05:01Yours was one of the first bills reported.
00:05:04You haven't had any hunches since then
00:05:05as to who it might have been.
00:05:07Well, that was 10 years ago.
00:05:10You mean to say you never caught that guy?
00:05:12Nope.
00:05:14I got no hunches, mister.
00:05:1710 years?
00:05:19Hey, what have you guys been doing all this time?
00:05:21Playing pinochle?
00:05:28I'll tell you one thing, sure.
00:05:29I'll never get hooked again.
00:05:31No, sir, not me.
00:05:32Why, you could call me an expert on money.
00:05:34Yes, you could.
00:05:36Whose picture's on a $10 bill?
00:05:37A $10?
00:05:39Sure, that's easy.
00:05:40A president of some kind.
00:05:41Let me see.
00:05:42I should know that one.
00:05:43Here, read this.
00:05:45Tells you how to spot counterfeit money.
00:05:51Morning, Gus.
00:05:51Hiya, Skipper.
00:05:54Same thing, huh?
00:05:56Mm-hmm.
00:06:09Hey, guys, Skipper, here's your change.
00:06:13Did you see this?
00:06:15What's that?
00:06:16A miniature spinning wheel.
00:06:18Don't look practical to me.
00:06:23Not practical.
00:06:25Okay, Skipper.
00:06:30Thought you examined all bills.
00:06:32Why, the Skipper's an old friend of mine.
00:06:42It's okay.
00:06:43I have to say them.
00:06:46No скажets.
00:06:47Don't look.
00:06:47No, no, no, no.不要.
00:07:04Don't
00:07:05lookooooo. I want
00:07:11to say them. Not business
00:07:11if they were safe, huh? Because they
00:07:11were safe on hard calls. Nothing.
00:07:11no, no, no. It's
00:07:12okay. No,
00:07:12no, no. See,
00:07:12okay.
00:07:14Hi, Skipper, how's the junk business?
00:07:16Junk? What do you mean junk?
00:07:18I deal only in antiques.
00:07:30I'm coming.
00:07:36Oh, Skipper, it's beautiful.
00:07:38For your mantelpiece.
00:07:39Simply beautiful.
00:07:42My grandma had one just like it.
00:07:44Full size, of course.
00:07:46How much is it?
00:07:48Oh, three dollars.
00:07:49Three dollars? Oh, it must be worth much more than that.
00:07:51What'd it cost you?
00:07:52Me? Pleasant walk.
00:07:54Argument with Rosie. Two dollars in cash.
00:07:56Oh, that's quite an investment.
00:07:58Here's five dollars. Keep it.
00:08:09Here's some reasons.
00:08:25Get back.
00:08:27Look.
00:08:28Isn't it sweet?
00:08:30Looks lonely.
00:08:31I asked Rosie to dig up a mate.
00:08:35Heavens, I'll be late.
00:08:45Skipper.
00:09:24You always leave your door open, Skipper.
00:09:27Thank you, Maggie.
00:09:29Oh!
00:09:29Oh!
00:09:30Oh!
00:09:32You old rattle.
00:09:37Your door was open. I came in.
00:09:42Why, bless my soul.
00:09:44It's Doc Duff.
00:09:46Glad to see you, Doc.
00:09:48You still owe me that $20 I came to collect.
00:09:52$20?
00:09:53Yeah, for your dog. I cured him of distemper.
00:09:55Maybe you've forgotten it, but I haven't.
00:09:57Oh, yeah, yeah, and a fine job you did too, Doc, yes.
00:10:00And this dog's got a heart full of gratitude.
00:10:03Has he got $20?
00:10:04That's a good one, that is.
00:10:06No, he hasn't, but I have.
00:10:09Yeah.
00:10:11I'm sorry they've kept you waiting, Doc.
00:10:12I really forgot all about it.
00:10:14Oh, go away, please.
00:10:16Go on.
00:10:19His name's Please.
00:10:20Funny thing about that.
00:10:22I started out being polite to him.
00:10:25Now he's spoiled.
00:10:26Won't come unless you say Please.
00:10:30Doggone it.
00:10:31I must have spent that money.
00:10:36Here.
00:10:38Here's $5 on account.
00:10:40I'll let you have the rest of the...
00:10:41I don't want five.
00:10:42I want what you owe me.
00:10:44Well, I'm sorry, but I haven't got it at the moment.
00:10:47Why don't you sell some of this junk here and pay your debts?
00:10:49Oh, I couldn't do that.
00:10:51They're old friends.
00:10:52Don't you worry.
00:10:53You'll get paid, Doc.
00:10:54Come back in a couple of days.
00:10:55I'll give you my word in a couple of days.
00:10:57I had your word last time.
00:10:58You handed me a cock and bull story about getting it from a rich cousin or somebody.
00:11:03Oh, no.
00:11:04That's no cock and bull story.
00:11:06But you see, I don't like to go to Cousin Henry.
00:11:10Except in an emergency.
00:11:12Well, this is an emergency, Mr. Miller.
00:11:14If I don't get that money in the morning, you'll hear from my lawyer.
00:11:27Oh, now, that's a shame.
00:11:29We shouldn't have kept that poor man waiting.
00:11:33Well, looks like we've got to go to Cousin Henry after all.
00:11:36Come on.
00:11:47Take care.
00:12:02Come on, I'm gonna get my way closer.
00:12:03Come on, Daddy.
00:12:03Come on, Daddy.
00:12:06Come on, Daddy.
00:12:10I'll take care of him.
00:12:11Next time, Daddy, please.
00:12:11I'll make it.
00:12:11I'll keep you going.
00:12:11My wife and I'll have to make it.
00:12:25Thank you, Henry.
00:13:06Thank you, Henry.
00:13:12Thank you, Henry.
00:13:42Norwood.
00:13:44Well, so far, so good. The subway runs all through here.
00:13:47Any bills turned in by the I.R.T.?
00:13:48Yes, sir.
00:13:50Oh, and, uh, here's another one.
00:13:56I'm convinced he still lives in that same neighborhood.
00:14:00Look...
00:14:01When he went to Staten Island, we had one from the ferry.
00:14:04Last week he was in...
00:14:05Flatbush.
00:14:05Flatbush.
00:14:07The bill was reported by the BMT.
00:14:09Hey, that's pretty clever.
00:14:12Give me the next batch, Gallagher.
00:14:13Dad, why don't you save the boy some heartbreak?
00:14:15He's planning to stalk the beast in his original lair.
00:14:17That'd be cruel, he says.
00:14:18A sheer waste of brilliant manpower.
00:14:21Another 880 was just reported.
00:14:23From a taxi stand down off Washington Square.
00:14:25The driver, here's his name.
00:14:27Knows exactly who gave it to him.
00:14:28He does, huh?
00:14:29Looks like the beast is still down there, Mac.
00:14:31What a break.
00:14:32Gallagher, put that stuff in the fire.
00:14:34Think you'll need any help?
00:14:36Produce some.
00:14:37Mac, go along with him.
00:14:39Come on, chum.
00:14:40With your brains and my luck, this'll be a breeze.
00:14:43Please, Thad.
00:14:44I've given a whole year of my life.
00:14:45Come on.
00:14:50I checked over at the house.
00:14:52That's her name, all right.
00:14:53Ann Winslow.
00:14:54Ann Winslow.
00:14:54Yeah.
00:15:00There she is now.
00:15:02Come on.
00:15:13She wants a cab.
00:15:14Not you.
00:15:14Go ahead.
00:15:15What if she gives me another phony?
00:15:16Take it.
00:15:17Say, look, I'm out one buck already.
00:15:18This one's on me.
00:15:22Nice job.
00:15:45She gave the taxi driver silver, silver.
00:15:49Without none, where she'd come, she'd come.
00:16:06See that bill you just got?
00:16:08That bill you just got, let's see it.
00:16:21This bill is copper.
00:16:22You should learn to spot this stuff.
00:16:24I'll give you a receipt for it.
00:16:35Coniford coins are greasy.
00:16:36You don't bite them, you feel them.
00:16:41You don't bite them.
00:16:43There's a brush on it.
00:16:46There's a brush on it.
00:16:53There's a brush on it.
00:17:25Have you seen Anne yet?
00:17:26Yes, she comes now.
00:17:28I finished it, Mr. Breddington.
00:17:30Oh, you did? Good.
00:17:30I typed half the night and I told Carlos there was a rush on it.
00:17:32Oh, fine. Thanks, Anne.
00:17:36Where's, uh, where's Jack going?
00:17:39Jack...
00:17:39...

00:34:33...
00:34:33...
00:44:03He's pretty slick.
00:44:05Counterfitting wasn't a very healthy occupation in the old days, was it?
00:44:09They used to cut off your ears.
00:44:11Noses, too.
00:44:12You'd like to see that done today, wouldn't you?
00:44:15Well, noses might be overdoing it.
00:44:17What are you doing tomorrow?
00:44:19The skipper has to take a flock of kids to the zoo.
00:44:21The skipper? Oh, yes, the old boy. He's quite a character.
00:44:24I promised to go with him.
00:44:26Gee, that's too bad. I have to go to Coney Island on official business.
00:44:30It's in connection with 880.
00:44:31I thought maybe you'd...
00:44:35Say, do you think the skipper would pass up the zoo if I took him to Coney Island?
00:44:38I'm sure he would. He'd love it, and so would the kids, and so would...
00:44:41I.
00:44:43If we're going to that movie, we'd better get started.
00:45:07It's amazing how much good money there is in circulation.
00:45:10Only spotted a couple of Mexican quarters.
00:45:13Did he make a pinch?
00:45:14He's a six-year-old with a nose full of freckles.
00:45:18He's got to go over and check with George.
00:45:20If you'd like to come out, son, get ready.
00:45:22If you'd like to come out, son, get ready.
00:45:23If you'd like to come out, son, get ready.
00:45:24If you'd like to come out, son, get ready.
00:45:27All right, don't be bashful, lady.
00:45:29Come on, step right up.
00:45:31He who hesitates is locked.
00:45:32Pull the expert and win a souvenir.
00:45:34What if I can, Louie?
00:45:35Well, I don't think you can, lady.
00:45:37It's only 25 cents one quarter.
00:45:39Part of it will be with you in a minute, bud.
00:45:40Soon as I finish with the lady.
00:45:41Ah, go on. It's a fake.
00:45:43They fixed the scales.
00:45:44Just a minute, mister.
00:45:46You say it's a fake.
00:45:47You say I've got a gimme.
00:45:48Tell you what I'm going to do.
00:45:49No hands on the scales.
00:45:50No hands on this charming lady.
00:45:52I say this little bundle from heaven weighs 114 and a half pounds.
00:45:57All right, ladies, sit down.
00:45:59Make yourself comfortable.
00:46:00This won't hurt a bit.
00:46:01Now, let's see.
00:46:02One hundred and fifteen pounds.
00:46:05Yes, sir.
00:46:06Must have some hidden charms.
00:46:08Invisible ten and eight.
00:46:09Get out.
00:46:09All right.
00:46:10That's 25 cents one quarter part of a dollar.
00:46:13There you are, sir.
00:46:14There's your change.
00:46:14What a racket.
00:46:15No racket, mister.
00:46:17No racket.
00:46:17Now, who's next?
00:46:18What do you say?
00:46:19This little girl here.
00:46:20All right.
00:46:20Come on, little girl.
00:46:21Here you are, right?
00:46:25All right.
00:46:26Hey, right over here.
00:46:28Let's see.
00:46:47Yes, sir.
00:46:48All right, kids.
00:46:55Now, watch out.
00:46:55Let me through here, please.
00:46:56I'll be right with you.
00:46:57Yes, sir.
00:46:58You want a dolphin, buddy?
00:46:59Yes, sir.
00:46:59All right.
00:47:00That's 25 cents one quarter part of a dollar.
00:47:02Thank you, sir.
00:47:02Yes, sir.
00:47:03Yes, sir.
00:47:04Yes, sir.
00:47:04Yes, sir.
00:47:06Yes, sir.
00:47:22Well, Coney Island show was a bust.
00:47:24Let's hope we have better luck in Bay Ridge.
00:47:25Look, Steve.
00:47:26The Baroda case is coming to a head.
00:47:27I'm afraid I'm going to have to put George and Ole back on it.
00:47:29Okay.
00:47:30Mac can go on working with you for a while.
00:47:32He's developed into quite a fan of yours.
00:47:35Look, any time 880 gets into your hair.
00:47:37I mean, any time you want to drop it.
00:47:39Drop it?
00:47:39Why?
00:47:40Well, I don't want to see you make a career of it.
00:47:42After all, there are more important things than...
00:47:45There's an irate citizen outside from Coney Island brought in this 880.
00:47:49Says he can give us a perfect description of the passer.
00:47:51No, sir, Thad.
00:47:52I'm not dropping this yet.
00:47:55I break for a sandwich, see?
00:47:57And I'm counting up.
00:47:58And here's this phonus balonus.
00:47:59Quick as a flash, I know who it is.
00:48:01He's a wise guy, see?
00:48:03There he is.
00:48:03That's him.
00:48:04That's a dirty crook.
00:48:05Called me a fake.
00:48:06How do you like that?
00:48:07He's with his tomato, see?
00:48:08And he says...
00:48:08Sorry.
00:48:09Huh?
00:48:10If it's this crook, he's already under arrest.
00:48:12Thanks for reporting to us.
00:48:13He's a very dangerous character.
00:48:1720 years I've been in this business.
00:48:18Well, this is one for the book.
00:48:19What happened to me before?
00:48:21But he was there, Thad.
00:48:22He was there.
00:48:23He was in Borough Park on schedule and now Coney Island.
00:48:25At least we know we're on the right track.
00:48:27In fact, we're one jump ahead of him.
00:48:28His next stop is Bay Ridge.
00:48:29If we don't get him in Bay Ridge, we'll get him in Bensonhurst.
00:48:31If not Bensonhurst...
00:48:32Can you handle this alone?
00:48:32Just you and Mac?
00:48:33Sure, sure.
00:48:33Let me handle it.
00:48:34I'll talk to those cashiers.
00:48:35I'll give them a go and over they'll never forget.
00:48:37Where are those cards?
00:48:39One of these will be placed in every cash register between Bay Ridge and Canasi.
00:48:51Check.
00:48:52Come on, hurry up.
00:48:53Okay, just a minute.
00:48:54Thanks.
00:48:59Hello.
00:49:02Oh, hello, Mary.
00:49:03Oh, just a minute.
00:49:04Oh, just a minute.
00:49:07It's a good ice.
00:49:10Auf Wiedersehen.
00:49:11Auf Wiedersehen.
00:49:1425 cents more.
00:49:15Just a moment.
00:49:22Counterfeit?
00:49:24Good morning.
00:49:25How to identify.
00:49:26I suppose we'll have to look for something.
00:49:28Uh, 25 cents.
00:49:30Thank you, Mary.
00:49:31All right.
00:49:32Let's go.
00:49:32Oh, this is yours.
00:49:33Just a moment, sir.
00:49:42Hey, wait a minute, mister.
00:49:44Hey, you.
00:49:45Oh, hey, Joe.
00:49:47Yeah.
00:49:48Joe, come here, quick.
00:49:50Look.
00:49:50Look.
00:49:52Look.
00:49:52Look.
00:50:02Look.
00:50:06Look.
00:50:08Look.
00:50:36Hiya, Skipper.
00:51:03Hiya, Skipper.
00:51:10Goodbye, Henry.
00:51:16Are you sure you don't want a drink?
00:51:20No thanks.
00:51:22It's a great help knowing his age and that he's German.
00:51:25I guess it's just a matter of time now.
00:51:30Where are we going tonight?
00:51:33I can't get away from the idea that he still lives in this neighborhood.
00:51:36Chances are that's where you got those two bills.
00:51:39Don't you ever relax?
00:51:42That old boy, what's his name? Kimmel.
00:51:44The fellow runs the stationery store.
00:51:46Do you know anything about him?
00:51:47Nothing.
00:51:48Except he's a sweet old man.
00:51:50You'd suspect anybody, wouldn't you?
00:51:52He's got a German accent.
00:51:53There's a home for the ages around the corner.
00:51:55It's full of old men with German accents.
00:51:57I've already been there.
00:51:58You weren't.
00:52:01I could very easily learn to dislike you.
00:52:11Oh, please.
00:52:17Good night, Skipper.
00:52:22Spreken Sie Deutsche Mölle?
00:52:24It was just a shot in the dark.
00:52:27You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:52:35Yes.
00:52:37Oh, I knew this would happen.
00:52:39I knew once he got started, he'd never quit.
00:52:41What a waste of talent.
00:52:43Well, maybe you'll take the assignment overseas.
00:52:45I told him to think about it.
00:52:46Okay, I'll take another crack at him and call you back.
00:52:49Right, sir.
00:52:52Yes, sir?
00:52:53Is Mr. Buchanan here?
00:52:54He's in the fire room, sir.
00:52:55I'll get him.
00:53:00Steve.
00:53:06Hello, Pat.
00:53:07How are you?
00:53:08Steve, Mac has asked to be taken off the case.
00:53:12After all, there hasn't been an 880 come in in quite a while now.
00:53:16I guess the old fire horse wants some action.
00:53:18I sent him out with Oli this morning.
00:53:19They're rounding up the Baroda mob.
00:53:21He should be coming in any minute now.
00:53:23Anything else?
00:53:25No.
00:53:26How was Washington?
00:53:29Hot.
00:53:32I suppose you'd like to know why the Chief sent for me.
00:53:35It's about a deal in France.
00:53:36France?
00:53:38There's a popular demand for the American dollar in Europe right now.
00:53:41Outfit in Marseille figures unsatisfying it.
00:53:43Sounds like big stuff.
00:53:45When are you leaving?
00:53:46Well, I don't know.
00:53:48Chief said if I didn't want the assignment, I didn't have to take it.
00:53:50You take it, Steve.
00:53:52This deal probably involves millions.
00:53:54After all, 880 is just...
00:53:55880 is a counterfeiter.
00:53:57He's breaking the law.
00:53:58If we can't stop him, we might as well close shop.
00:54:02Yes?
00:54:03I have the Barodas here.
00:54:04Okay.
00:54:09Quiet!
00:54:11Pasquale.
00:54:12I'm not talking to you.
00:54:13Giovanni.
00:54:14Giovanni.
00:54:17Hey, Steve!
00:54:19Baroda mob, we caught them red handed with a box full of phony tents.
00:54:22Nice work, Mac.
00:54:23We got the plates too.
00:54:25Come on.
00:54:25Now listen, I don't want to waste any more time with you guys.
00:54:28I want the fruit.
00:54:33I want the fruit.
00:54:46Mind what I say now.
00:54:48You get up in that United Nations and you tell them what I say.
00:54:51One week of silence.
00:54:52That's what they need.
00:54:54The more jabbering they do, the more arguments they get into.
00:54:57I'm Irish.
00:54:58I know.
00:54:59Morning.
00:55:00Morning.
00:55:00Well, somebody's in a big hurry.
00:55:02He's got chipped off this.
00:55:03Got to get it fixed.
00:55:04Oh, he loves that figure.
00:55:07Miss Winslow, would you come up with me a minute?
00:55:10I want to show you something.
00:55:13What?
00:55:16Never remembers to lock his door.
00:55:20Look at this room.
00:55:22What happened?
00:55:23Well, that statue was the last.
00:55:25I seen him go, piece by piece.
00:55:29Kept him from being lonely, those things.
00:55:31Used to make up stories about the kind of homes they came from.
00:55:36Always said he was living with a lot of nice boys.
00:55:39Maggie, what did happen?
00:55:40He never really earned enough to live on.
00:55:43Used to get money from his rich cousin.
00:55:45Until he passed on.
00:55:48But didn't he leave him anything?
00:55:50Guess not.
00:55:51What?
00:55:52I'll never forget how brave the skipper was in his grief.
00:55:55He just said, I had to bury cousin Henry.
00:56:00May God rest his soul.
00:56:16I'm sorry to be so late.
00:56:19Want something?
00:56:20Nothing for me, thanks.
00:56:21I have only a few minutes.
00:56:22Waiter.
00:56:23Yes, sir.
00:56:24How'd you make out?
00:56:25I was a big success.
00:56:27Oh, the check, please.
00:56:28Yes, sir.
00:56:28I saw the manager.
00:56:29He runs our house and one next door.
00:56:30He said Skipper could be a sort of handyman.
00:56:33He's very good at fixing things, you know.
00:56:34He said he'd give him his rent free and $70 a month.
00:56:38Isn't that wonderful?
00:56:38Oh, that's swell, Anne.
00:56:40Really swell.
00:56:42What's your good news?
00:56:43Oh, something terrific.
00:56:45I couldn't wait to tell you.
00:56:46Well, tell me quick.
00:56:51I'm going to France.
00:56:53France?
00:56:54Uh-huh.
00:56:54Bigger sign.
00:56:55International stuff.
00:56:57Steve, it's exciting.
00:56:58I haven't been there since the war.
00:57:00What about 880?
00:57:02I gave him back to the Indians.
00:57:04Anne, do you think there's a chance that, well, that you could wangle a trip over?
00:57:10I don't know.
00:57:10I'll try.
00:57:11We'd be in Paris together.
00:57:13Who's going to work on 880?
00:57:15I don't know and I don't care.
00:57:17It's peanuts compared to this.
00:57:19Make them take care.
00:57:20Put on the old charm.
00:57:21We'll have a great time.
00:57:23I'll take you around to places in Paris.
00:57:24Places you never heard of.
00:57:25The respectable ones, of course.
00:57:28I've only been to the other kinds.
00:57:31I hope you have liked the Schnecken.
00:57:34I hope you have liked the Schnecken.
00:57:36Oh, yes, yes.
00:57:37Very good.
00:57:47I'll have to start brushing up on my French.
00:57:59I think I'll fly.
00:58:01That is unless we could go together.
00:58:02In that case, I'd prefer a slow boat.
00:58:05One that would...
00:58:09That isn't German, it's Dutch.
00:58:10I know.
00:58:11Steve, are you sure you gave 880 back to the Indians?
00:58:14Look, I told you before, he's deader than a doornail as far as I'm concerned.
00:58:17Someone once said that a task left undone creates a void that no amount of achievement can fill.
00:58:24Who's the imbecile that dreamed that one up?
00:58:26I am.
00:58:39Skipper, you found the maid.
00:58:41Oh, you're a darling.
00:58:42It's my last transaction in Antice.
00:58:44You're sweet to remember.
00:58:45On Monday, I start a new career.
00:58:48I suppose you've heard about my new job.
00:58:49The news travels so fast, I thought it was a presidential appointment.
00:58:53How much is this worth?
00:58:54They wanted me to start today.
00:58:56I said, start a new career on a Saturday?
00:58:58That doesn't make sense.
00:59:01Skipper, how much?
00:59:03A spinning wheel.
00:59:04Oh, $3, same as last.
00:59:06Oh, don't be silly.
00:59:08The other one was $5.
00:59:10Now, here.
00:59:16Well, when you start something, always start at the beginning.
00:59:21Yeah, starting a new career on a Saturday is just like, well, I'm sure I had $2 here someplace.
00:59:30I won't take it, Skipper.
00:59:32Oh, they look beautiful together.
00:59:34I insist on paying the same price.
00:59:36You will, as soon as I find the $2.
00:59:39You will, as soon as I might have a $2.
00:59:42I don't know.
00:59:42I will pay $2.
00:59:49You will pay the same price.
00:59:49I won't pay the same price.
00:59:58No, you will pay the same price.
00:59:59I won't pay the same price.
01:00:01I won't pay the same price.
01:00:05You will pay the same price.
01:00:34My new job goes through a celebration.
01:00:35I'm going to have to get some things, a bottle of wine maybe.
01:00:37You're invited.
01:00:38Skipper.
01:00:39Hmm?
01:00:40Are you sure it was three dollars?
01:00:42What?
01:00:43For the first one.
01:00:46Oh, the first one.
01:00:48Yes, yes.
01:00:48I put the change in your purse.
01:00:50I see you're having company for lunch.
01:00:52He's invited too.
01:01:27Good afternoon, Mr. Buchanan.
01:01:29Hello, Maggie.
01:01:44Come in.
01:01:50Hide it.
01:01:52You're on time.
01:01:54I like people who are on time.
01:01:56Well, a banquet.
01:01:57You should have warned me.
01:01:57I'd have come prepared with a speech.
01:01:58Mr. Buchanan, you always come prepared with a speech.
01:02:01Hey.
01:02:01How are you?
01:02:02Usually it's a very pretty one.
01:02:03Ah, that's better.
01:02:23If you like, after lunch, I'll help you with your French.
01:02:29I had a talk with the chief.
01:02:33I told him to get himself another boy.
01:02:36I'm staying here.
01:02:39You were right.
01:02:41880 would have haunted me the rest of my life.
01:02:43I'll have to get him out of my system before I tackle anything else.
01:02:47Funny about yesterday.
01:02:48Am I getting sore, I mean.
01:02:51I knew I was kidding myself.
01:02:53Better than like you're knowing it.
01:02:55How'd you get so smart, hmm?
01:03:01Come here.
01:03:03Let me see.
01:03:07The effort's in your eyes.
01:03:09Your eyes are much older and wiser than you are.
01:03:22Steve, if 880 were caught, what would the penalty be?
01:03:27After 15 years?
01:03:30He isn't likely to get the maximum, is he?
01:03:33If I ever lay my hands on that old crook, that's just what he will get.
01:03:39The experience in Bay Ridge scared him off for a while, but he'll step out again.
01:03:42And they always do.
01:03:43I've got them pretty well covered everywhere, including this neighborhood.
01:03:46I've got to hunt you.
01:04:03Darling, what's the matter?
01:04:08Would you like to talk it out with me?
01:04:21Hello?
01:04:22Who?
01:04:23Yes, he's here.
01:04:26It's your office.
01:04:32Hello?
01:04:33Yeah, hello, Thad.
01:04:37Yeah, sure, sure.
01:04:38It's just a couple of blocks from me.
01:04:39I know where it is.
01:04:40This may be it, Thad.
01:04:41Thanks.
01:04:42I knew it.
01:04:43I knew we couldn't hold out.
01:04:44They just caught someone passing an 880 in the grocery store.
01:04:47They got him down to the police station now.
01:04:48I'll phone you.
01:04:49Give you a play-by-play account.
01:04:50Your husband will feel better after a little rest.
01:04:52Oh, can't I?
01:04:53He's sleeping it off.
01:04:57Where's the, uh...
01:04:58Right here.
01:05:08Hello, son.
01:05:09Hi.
01:05:10What's your name?
01:05:11Bobby.
01:05:12Where'd you get this, Bobby?
01:05:14One of the crap came from Johnny Sloan.
01:05:16He said I was the McCoy.
01:05:19You know where Johnny lives?
01:05:21Sure.
01:05:22I'll take you in the prowl car.
01:05:23Fine.
01:05:26Thanks a lot, Vincent.
01:05:27Quite all right.
01:05:29Come on, Bobby.
01:05:30Let's go see Johnny.
01:05:34Good boy.
01:05:39I got it from Willie.
01:05:42Speak up.
01:05:43Answer the gentleman.
01:05:44Gave him all my bottle tops.
01:05:46My special ones.
01:05:47From Willie, huh?
01:05:48Yes, sir.
01:05:49Thanks, Johnny.
01:06:02Willie.
01:06:04Willie.
01:06:06What?
01:06:06Come in.
01:06:09Where'd you get that bill?
01:06:10I let Mickey play first base, and he gave it to me.
01:06:13Mickey's loaded with him.
01:06:19I put some ink on it, and I try it, see?
01:06:21I figure it's stage money.
01:06:23So I start making deals with him.
01:06:27There it is.
01:06:27That's a house.
01:06:28There it is.
01:06:31There it is.
01:06:31There it is.
01:06:37There it is.
01:06:42Hold on to this press, Sergeant.
01:07:11Right here it was.
01:07:12The fellas are looking for him, see?
01:07:14And I'm hiding in the back of this bush cart.
01:07:16Then this dog comes along and starts scraping away like mad.
01:07:20Pretty soon I see a handle, so I start yanking on it.
01:07:32What kind of a dog was it?
01:07:34One of them shaggy ones.
01:07:35You know they come with hair in their eyes?
01:07:37Sort of grey one.
01:07:56Thanks, Vicki. You go on back to the car.
01:08:14Stupid old beggar.
01:08:40Let's see if Mickey gets home, Sergeant. Take good care of the press for me. I'll pick it up later.
01:08:43Let's go.
01:08:44Let's go.
01:08:47Let's go.
01:09:03Let's go.
01:09:07Let's go.
01:09:08Let's go.
01:09:09Let's go.
01:09:10Let's go.
01:09:11Let's go.
01:09:28Let's go.
01:09:37Let's go.
01:09:40Let's go.
01:09:45Let's go.
01:09:53Let's go.
01:09:59Let's go.
01:09:59Let's go.
01:10:01Let's go.
01:10:02Let's go.
01:10:03Let's go.
01:10:08Let's go.
01:10:22Oh, my God.
01:10:49Steve, while I've been waiting for you to come back, I kept telling myself I'd have to be sensible about
01:10:55this. I'd have to be practical. I can't, Steve.
01:10:59Steve. He's a very old man. One of the kindest human beings I've ever known.
01:11:12Steve, he can't survive a long jail term.
01:11:15He's a counterfeiter. No matter what you or I think of him, he robbed people.
01:11:20He reached into their pockets and robbed them.
01:11:35Oh, it's you, Anne. Wonderful.
01:11:38Oh, you're ahead of me. Wonderful.
01:11:42Thank you, Anne.
01:11:44Wonderful.
01:11:45I had a lot of trouble to get the wine I wanted.
01:11:48I said to the man...
01:11:51Why?
01:11:52It's Mr. Buchanan.
01:11:55Now, wasn't that nice of him to accept my invitation?
01:11:58Yes, indeed.
01:12:02I...
01:12:03Yes, I said to the man, I said...
01:12:06Now, I...
01:12:07Oh, where's my corkscrew?
01:12:10Ah, thank you, Anne. Thank you.
01:12:13Here, here, here. You open it.
01:12:14I'll get the glasses.
01:12:16Yes.
01:12:17Yes, I said to the man, I said...
01:12:20When I ask for Liebfrau Milch, I want the...
01:12:25I'll get the glasses.
01:12:27Yes.
01:12:40I said to the man, when I ask for Liebfrau Milch, I want Liebfrau Milch, I said.
01:12:48Not vinegar, but a fancy label.
01:12:52Huh?
01:12:53I'm with the United States Secret Service, Skipper.
01:12:55Oh.
01:12:56He didn't know he was dealing with a connoisseur of fine wines.
01:13:03Skipper.
01:13:04Huh?
01:13:05Have you been passing counterfeit $1 bills?
01:13:08Counterfeit bills?
01:13:10Oh, yes. Yes.
01:13:12For quite some time, Val.
01:13:15Wait till you taste this.
01:13:18Secret Service.
01:13:20Well, well.
01:13:22Oh, yes.
01:13:24For quite some time.
01:13:25Well, here we go.
01:13:27Down the hatch.
01:13:34Ah, yes.
01:13:35That's it.
01:13:37Once you taste Liebfrau...
01:13:39Skipper.
01:13:41You'll have to come down to the office with me.
01:13:43The office?
01:13:45Hmm.
01:13:46Yes, yes.
01:13:47Your office.
01:13:48Of course.
01:13:49They'll probably want to ask me a lot of questions.
01:14:02Oh, let me see.
01:14:03There'll be some things to do.
01:14:11Oh, yes.
01:14:12Please.
01:14:13I don't suppose they'd let him...
01:14:15No, no.
01:14:17He'd only interrupt us.
01:14:19He can be a nuisance sometimes.
01:14:22Especially in strange places.
01:14:25Yeah.
01:14:27I'll take care of him, Skipper.
01:14:28Will you?
01:14:33In case I'm detained,
01:14:35he likes ground meat at least once a day.
01:14:42You need a lawyer.
01:14:44I have a friend.
01:14:46Lawyer?
01:14:46Oh, no, no, no.
01:14:48We don't want to bother anybody.
01:14:50Mr. Buchanan and I can dispose of this without outsiders.
01:14:53Yes.
01:14:55Guess there's a lot of detail to a thing like this.
01:14:57All sorts of forms to fill out.
01:15:00Hope it won't take long.
01:15:03I wouldn't like it to spoil your evening.
01:15:06With Anne.
01:15:11You stay here and behave.
01:15:23Yes, sir, it's true.
01:15:26Here we've got Ed Eddie.
01:15:27Yes, he's inside.
01:15:29Hello?
01:15:30Yes, Mr. Reynolds.
01:15:32It's true.
01:15:32He's been caught.
01:15:35No, sir, I wouldn't say that.
01:15:36Hello, Mac.
01:15:40This is 880?
01:15:45Why, this is the old geezer from Burrow Park.
01:15:47Yeah, and our guest in Coney Island.
01:15:50They've been asking a lot of questions.
01:15:52You might be able to think of some, too.
01:15:54Brother, I could ask a million.
01:15:57Congratulations.
01:15:58Thanks.
01:15:59Tell me this, Mr. Miller.
01:16:01Did it ever occur to you that this was like stealing?
01:16:04That every person who accepted a counterfeit from you suffered a loss?
01:16:08Did you get that, Miss Gallagher?
01:16:11Oh, I was afraid he was talking too fast.
01:16:13What was the question?
01:16:15I was talking about the people who got stuck with your bills.
01:16:18I wanted to know...
01:16:19Oh, yes, yes.
01:16:20Well, they didn't amount to much.
01:16:22I never gave anyone more than one bill.
01:16:25Made sure about that.
01:16:26You mean you planned it that way?
01:16:27Oh, yes.
01:16:28Yes, indeed.
01:16:30Then I'd always buy something from them.
01:16:32They could make a profit on that.
01:16:34So the loss wasn't too great.
01:16:36Less than a dollar.
01:16:38I'm sure nobody minded it.
01:16:41Mr. Miller.
01:16:43I understand you were in the Navy for many years.
01:16:46Machinist.
01:16:47First class.
01:16:49You were eligible to enter a veteran's home.
01:16:52Now, instead of committing a crime against your government,
01:16:55wouldn't you have proven a better citizen if you had...
01:16:57Oh, no.
01:16:59Goodness, no.
01:17:00I thought about that.
01:17:02I looked up the records.
01:17:04It costs the government 82.70 a month for each person.
01:17:10I didn't need over 40, 50.
01:17:13Saved the government a lot of money.
01:17:16Yes, indeed.
01:17:17Quite a bit.
01:17:24He's all yours, Steve.
01:17:25Take him down to the commissioner's for arraignment.
01:17:33Come on, Skipper.
01:17:41Oh, I want to thank all of you.
01:17:43You've been very kind to me.
01:18:01I tried, Ann.
01:18:03But it was no use.
01:18:04He told me I was a nice man.
01:18:06Would I please stop annoying him with silly questions?
01:18:08I know.
01:18:10He insists on pleading guilty.
01:18:11I even had difficulty getting him to accept bail.
01:18:18Shall I ask him to wait?
01:18:19Yes, please.
01:18:21Aren't you even going to court?
01:18:24Well, I can't force myself on him.
01:18:26Thanks, Jimmy.
01:18:28Do you know anything about Judge O'Neill?
01:18:30Yes.
01:18:31Look, Ann, you may as well be prepared.
01:18:33He's going to have to go to jail.
01:18:34The only hope I had was to cut the sentence down to, well, maybe a year or two.
01:18:38Well, a year or two wouldn't be so awful.
01:18:40But I'm afraid...
01:18:41A lot will depend on the Secret Service office, how hard they push it.
01:18:44Yes, I know that.
01:18:44Buchanan could help.
01:18:46Yes, he could.
01:18:48Thank you again, Jimmy.
01:18:51There were so many embarrassing questions, I had to get out of Washington.
01:18:53And all I've heard here is what a quaint character he is.
01:18:56That nobody knows what to do about him.
01:18:58If you saw him, Chief, he's such a harmless...
01:19:00Harmless?
01:19:00The man who drove us crazy for ten years, harmless?
01:19:03Well, I'm a quaint character myself.
01:19:05I know what to do about him.
01:19:06We'll say to it that he's prosecuted to the fullest, like any other counterfeiter.
01:19:10Where's Buchanan?
01:19:12I hope he hasn't been bitten by the bug.
01:19:14I don't think so.
01:19:15Well, where is he?
01:19:16Haven't seen him for the last few days.
01:19:17He asked for some time off.
01:19:19Better turn up in that courtroom this morning.
01:19:21He'll be there, Chief.
01:19:22Don't worry.
01:19:23Let's get some breakfast.
01:19:52I couldn't stay away.
01:20:02Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
01:20:05The Honorable United States Court of the Southern District of New York is now in session.
01:20:10Good morning.
01:20:17The United States of America versus William Miller.
01:20:22The United States of America?
01:20:26The United States of America.
01:20:27My goodness.
01:20:30The Secret Service clearly established during the hearing that the bills of the defendant
01:20:35admitted passing, and those turned into them over a period of years bear the same serial
01:20:40number.
01:20:41The United States of America versus William Miller.
01:20:42Your Honor, this case has cost the United States Secret Service more time and money than
01:20:47any other case in its entire history.
01:20:51I would suggest that the defendant...
01:20:55Oh, I'm sorry.
01:20:56I would suggest that the defendant pay a little more attention.
01:20:59Miss Winslow is a very good friend of mine, sir.
01:21:02This is more important.
01:21:04Yes, sir.
01:21:09Before I impose sentence, Mr. Miller, I'll give you another opportunity to get counsel.
01:21:13If you wish, I'll agree to a postponement.
01:21:17If your Honor, please, may I approach the bench?
01:21:23I've been asked by his friends to represent the defendant, and although he insists he doesn't
01:21:27need me, with the court's approval, I would like to present certain facts for your consideration.
01:21:31Mr. Miller.
01:21:32Yes, sir.
01:21:33Will you please tell me just why you feel you have no need for counsel?
01:21:37Well, it seemed to me, sir, it seemed to me he was going to a heap of trouble for nothing.
01:21:41Aren't you disturbed that you might have to go to jail?
01:21:44Jail?
01:21:44Never been there, Judge.
01:21:46Can't be disturbed about a place I've never been to.
01:21:48You can see for yourself, Your Honor, that despite his objection...
01:21:51Probably a lot of very nice people there.
01:21:54Go ahead.
01:21:55I was going to say, Your Honor, that despite his objection, someone should speak in his behalf.
01:21:59But there's one thing that does disturb me, Judge.
01:22:01Yes, what is it?
01:22:02The thing that man read out about the United States of America versus me.
01:22:06I'm afraid that's not true.
01:22:09Goodness, the United States of America.
01:22:12That's a tremendous amount of people to have against you, isn't it?
01:22:15I've got a lot of friends, Judge.
01:22:18Some of them are right here in this court.
01:22:19I'm sure they're not against me.
01:22:25With the court's permission, I'd like to continue.
01:22:27Perhaps you'd better get his permission.
01:22:29Oh, let him go ahead, Judge.
01:22:30He's got it on his chest.
01:22:32Let him get it off.
01:22:33Proceed.
01:22:34You have his permission.
01:22:36Well, Your Honor, he's pleaded guilty, so there's nothing more to be said about that.
01:22:39But I respectfully call the court's attention to the fact that the defendant is an old man, 73 years of
01:22:44age.
01:22:45Mr. Lee, I'm sorry for a man 73 years old.
01:22:48But I have always dealt severely with counterfeiters as a matter of public policy.
01:22:52I see no reason to depart from that policy merely because of his age.
01:22:56Anything else, Mr. Lee?
01:22:57Yes, Your Honor, there is.
01:22:59I think intent should be considered.
01:23:01The circumstances under which he began is counterfeiting.
01:23:04He's a junk dealer.
01:23:05Sure.
01:23:06Now, it's quite possible that one day among the things he picked up was this printing press and those plates.
01:23:11Well, naturally, they aroused his curiosity, and he decided to experiment with them.
01:23:15Just as the boy who found them in his backyard experimented.
01:23:18Yet no one would think of prosecuting that boy.
01:23:20No.
01:23:21Now, Your Honor, I don't contend because this man is...
01:23:23No, no, Mr. Lee, you're wrong.
01:23:25Wrong.
01:23:27He's mistaken, Judge.
01:23:29Quite mistaken.
01:23:30I bought that printing press.
01:23:33And those plates?
01:23:35I made those plates myself.
01:23:37Yes, indeed.
01:23:39Took me quite some time.
01:23:41Not easy, you know.
01:23:42No.
01:23:44But I wouldn't want you to have the wrong impression, Judge.
01:23:49No.
01:23:52Sorry to contradict you, Mr. Lee.
01:23:54Thank you, Your Honor.
01:24:00What do you recommend?
01:24:02No recommendation.
01:24:03Where is, uh, Buchanan?
01:24:06Where is the Secret Service man who, uh, Buchanan present?
01:24:12Hey, Your Honor.
01:24:13What do you recommend?
01:24:16I've never had any sympathy for counterfeiters, Your Honor.
01:24:19I don't have any now.
01:24:20I agree with the court.
01:24:22The counterfeiters should be dealt with as severely as possible.
01:24:26Thank you, Mr. Buchanan.
01:24:31If it please the court.
01:24:34There is something I would like to add.
01:24:36Yes?
01:24:37Well, the defendant is guilty of a crime.
01:24:39I don't think he should be treated as a criminal, as an enemy of society.
01:24:44What he did wasn't because of greed or because he, because he wanted to get rich quick.
01:24:48He printed just a few bills at a time, only when he needed money badly.
01:24:52And then, not always for himself.
01:24:54You arrested this man.
01:24:55Are you now pleading for him?
01:24:58I realize it's unusual, Your Honor.
01:25:01But the defendant is an unusual man.
01:25:04Ask his neighbors.
01:25:05Ask his many friends if they think the Skipper is an enemy of society.
01:25:09I ask them.
01:25:10They know him only as a kind, gentle, honest human being.
01:25:13You saw an example of it only a moment ago when Mr. Lee tried to defend him.
01:25:17It just wouldn't occur to the Skipper not to tell the truth.
01:25:20Or even let anybody color it for him.
01:25:22You don't often find a man with that kind of honesty.
01:25:25Your Honor, government agents are trained to be skeptical.
01:25:28I wasn't satisfied with my own opinion, or the opinion of his neighbors.
01:25:31I investigated his past to see if he was engaged in any other criminal activities.
01:25:35I'm happy to say I couldn't find any.
01:25:38But I did run across something which you might want to consider.
01:25:41The defendant spent a good part of his life in the United States Navy.
01:25:45In 1918, when he was 41 years of age, he received a declaration for bravery.
01:25:49I have a photostatic copy of the citation here.
01:25:57In case you're interested.
01:25:59In case you're interested.
01:26:06In case you're interested.
01:26:33You seem to have gone to a great deal of trouble for this man.
01:26:36Why?
01:26:41That's hard to say, Your Honor.
01:26:47Maybe I was influenced by something I read the other day.
01:26:50It was in a book I happened to pick up.
01:26:53Justice is too often administered by fixed rules,
01:26:56without regard for the feelings of the human mind or the charity in the human heart.
01:27:01A book you happened to pick up?
01:27:03Yes, Your Honor.
01:27:05I was the author of that book.
01:27:08Yes, Your Honor.
01:27:12Despite the quotation from my book,
01:27:15I still believe that counterfeiters, whoever they are, must be sent to jail.
01:27:19We cannot make an exception in this case or in any other case.
01:27:23This man broke the law.
01:27:27However, in view of the defendant's extreme age and the other considerations,
01:27:34the sentence will be kept at a minimum.
01:27:38Nine months.
01:28:00I have been reminded that a sentence of nine months does not provide for parole.
01:28:05It has been suggested that it be changed to a year and a day,
01:28:08so that the defendant could get off in four months.
01:28:11The sentence has changed to a year and a day.
01:28:16Thank you, sir.
01:28:26I have also been reminded that the sentence must be accompanied by a fine.
01:28:31We will make this nominal, too.
01:28:33One dollar fine.
01:28:36Dollar fine.
01:28:37Oh.
01:28:48Skipper, maybe you'd better let me pay.
01:28:50Oh, no.
01:28:51No.
01:29:09Let's go.
01:29:14Skipper.
01:29:16Goodbye.
01:29:17I'll come to see you very soon.
01:29:21Here.
