Frank, Jr. learned his philosophy of life and his commitment to hustling those around him from his father.
The most notable of these interactions is a scene where Frank calls Carl around Christmastime.
“People only know what you tell them.”
Barely 17 yet, Frank is a skilled forger who has passed as a doctor, lawyer and pilot. FBI agent Carl becomes obsessed with tracking down the con man, who only revels in the pursuit.
He makes it explicitly known towards the climax.
While Carl may have caught him, it didn’t last long.
Sadly, he only knew how to fake and lie because that’s what his father taught him.
