- Now!
Dewey! Make sure all the instructions are loud and clear,
and see to it that you keep an eye on those tellers,
and make sure that they do what you tell them to do,
And have this ready for when we blow,
- I'm clear on the plan,
- Louie, I want everyone in that bank terrified
something's gonna happen,
Remember the cameras, and try not to make a movie star
out of yourself,

Girly-girl, out here on the ground! Now!

Both of you, Uncle Donald!
- Hey, what she doing? Is she reaching for the alarm?
- Are you trying to ring that alarm, lady?
- No, I wasn't! I swear!
- If you're lying to me, I'm gonna do something crazy,
- I'm not lying! Please! I'm pregnant,
- I don't care!
- She's pregnant, man! Just lay off!

Just keep your heads down, and your eyes shut!
Or, you'll all regret what happens next,
- Lord, please deliver us safely from these angry men,

Kid, I'm not kidding!
- Back off, Dewey!
- I'll take you both out!
- Dewey! Bag!
We're ready to blow!
- Louie, you idiot! You missed the manager!
I'll kill you dude, hear me?
You'll pay for pulling that alarm,
if it's the last thing that I do!
- If you're gonna shoot him, then shoot him,
But we gotta go! Now!
- Blow it!
- Huey just better be out there!
- Okay! Don't cry!
- Uncle Donald went out the back door!
- This ain't your lucky day, Louie!
- You gotta be kidding me? Don't stop!
Why'd you stop?
I'm not a murderer,
- No, You're a moron,
- Don't take all the money!
You jerk!
- You went under the car!
- Don't move, or I'll blow your head off!
Oh!
- I'm so sorry, guys,
I completely forgot it was Wednesday,
I couldn't remember if I put the decaf on,
- That's what I'm talking about, I needed today,
- Put it right in there, buddy,
- Unlike these old fogies, Barney,
I will have myself some honest-to-God American coffee,
- Okay, Would you like that in a kiddie cup?
- Hey Pete, you don't look good, are you all right?
- Just tired, Beth got called into work last night,
That accident on the turnpike,
- Yeah, I saw that on the news, that looked bad,
- It's just like, I can't sleep when she's not there,
- I know, but it said in the paper that everybody lived,
No doubt thanks to her, right?
- Oh no, she's good at her job,
But she was just falling asleep,
as I'm getting up to come here,
And then, I'm creeping around my own house
like a cat burglar,
Like the good 'ole days,
- Like the good 'ole days, huh?
- I'm gonna get blueberry pie, what are you gonna get?
- I'm gonna get the vanilla cake,
- How was everything?
- Oh, it was so good, - Great, great,
- Um,,,is he coming today, or?
- Um, yeah, I think so, I don't know where he is,
- Oh, well, I'll just keep it warm for him,
- All right, good idea,
- While we're waiting, anybody wanna see a new trick?
- Oh, Peyton, you always call it a new trick,
But back me up on this, it's usually the same old trick,
with new words,
- That would be called "Patter," the correct term,
Patter, - Oh, patter,
Oh, it's called patter? - Yes,
- I wanna see a trick,
- Disappear! - Disappear!
- You know, you weasels aren't gonna be laughing
when I'm headlining in Vegas,
- Oh, give me a break,
With your record,
they wouldn't let you buy a lottery ticket in Vegas,
- Here he is,
- Hey guys, wait a minute, Look! Look! Look!
He had the dream,
- Look! He's having the dream!
- Do something! - Quick, quick, quick!
- Okay, anything,
- Here, boom, boom, little homage,
- The amazing Kreskin,
- I had the dream, Again,
- Oh, hey, Wilbert,
Peyton's kind of in the middle of a magic trick,
- It just puts me in the worse mood,
- Yeah, I think you mentioned that before,
- Peyton, it was so real this time,
- No kidding,
I'm kind of in the middle of a minor miracle here,
Your card,,,No, I believe your card,
correct me if I'm wrong,
but I believe your card is the queen of diamonds,
- Surprise!
- It's no surprise here,
The same dumb dream I always have,
Let me tell you guys about it,
- Oh, please! Come on!
- Okay, here we go, One bowl of hot oatmeal,
- Barney, I'm glad you're here,
The rest of my Bible study doesn't care
about my never-ending nightmare,
or how it upsets me to no end,
But, you are a true friend,
Aw,
- Pull up a chair, I wanna tell you about the dream,
- Oh, Wilbert, I'd love to hear you talk about
your bank robbery nightmare, again,
But, I got something burning in the kitchen,
- I don't smell anything,
Yeah, neither do I,
You need some ketchup for that oatmeal?
- Ketchup,
Wait!
You know, if I didn't know better,
I'd think you guys were trying to avoid
talking about my dream,
- It's just that you tell us about it all the time,
And it never changes,
And nothing gets resolved,
- You're retired, Why is this case so important to you?
- You'll understand when you get closer to your final glory,
You regret everything that you haven't finished,
- What is there to finish, Wilbert?
The statute of limitations ran out on this
like 50 years ago,
Even if you could solve it,
you can't put anybody in jail for it,
It's not gonna mean anything to anybody but you,
- You gotta ease up on yourself, man,
I've never been in bank robbery,
but I assume the bank would of gotten their money back
from the insurance, right?
- Yeah, like the very next week,
And you, yourself, even told us on multiple occasions
that insurance company went out of business,
- Yes, that's correct,
Back in the 1980s,
- So, even if you found the money,
there's nobody that you can return it to,
- There's a lot of good you can do with $350,000,
- You could buy a whole lot of bibles, that's for sure,
- That's right, Pete,
And speaking of bibles, why don't we begin?
- All righty,
- Well, that was some good discussion today,
Next Wednesday good for everyone?
- Hey, I'm gonna have to duck out a little early,
We had an early game,
and I gotta get those boys on the bus by 10,
- Hey, they're looking good this year,
Your next home game, let me know,
- Hey, you bet,
- Yeah, we'll tailgate, right?
- Yeah, - That'll be good,
All right, tell your mom to call me,
- Yeah, see you-
- Hey, look, if you're still upset,
I can push my first yard off,
we can go back in there and have another cup of coffee,
- Oh, that's sweet, but I gotta go,
You know my lady friends are expecting me,
When things start heating up, they need the big guy!
- Okay, big guy, go get 'em, Okay, take it easy,
- Hitch, Hitch! Wilbert forgot his Bible again,
- Oh! This guy's killing me,
I know where he's going, I'll take it after work,
I'll see you soon,
- Hello, ladies! Am I late?
- Perfect timing!
- Well, if that's the case, let me at 'em!
- Come on in!
Oh, I love this guy!
Oh my God!
- Smells so good! - Oh, does it!
- I'm ready!
- You're in for a rough one today,
- Shoofly pie! - Lots of molasses!
- You just sit your pretty little selves down,
and enjoy a hot beverage,
And let the Sultan of Soap handle this,
"You tell us about it all the time,,," "You're retired,,,"
"You gotta ease up on yourself,,,"
"Even if you could solve it,
"you can't put anybody in jail for it,,,"
- Wilbert! - Hello!
- Good-bye, Wilbert, - Good bye, Buela,
- See you, Wilbert, - Ethel, Esther,
Good bye,
- Sara, thanks for the pie, terrific, just well done,
- Oh, it smells great in here,
- Thanks, we're all cleaned up, Pastor,
I'll see you Sunday, - Okay,
- Pastor Mimi, Oh, can I get you some pie?
- No, thank you, You have a visitor,
Hello? We're here,
- Oh, sorry, This is a really great church,
Hey, Wilbert? - Hitch?
Everything okay?
- Yeah, you forgot your Bible again,
- Oh, boy, Not myself today,
I better pull it together,
I'm reffing a basketball game at the boys and girls club,
- Today? - Yeah, at three,
- But, dude, it's nearly three o'clock,
- Oh, good grief, I gotta go,
Hitch, thanks for going so far out of your way on my behalf,
Pastor, I'll see you Sunday,
- Talk about no rest for the weary,
Yeah, tell me about it,
- Would you like to see the sanctuary?
- Oh yeah, sure,
- Wow, It really is beautiful in here, it's very calm,
- Your friend thinks so, too,
- Oh yeah, I bet he does,
Only, there ain't nothing calming about that guy,
He's got more energy than the rest of us,
- He has a big, giving heart,
No doubt about it,
Lots of special projects,
- Like me,
And my buddies,
- Is that right?
- Yeah,
Well, I hope he told you,
You know, we're ex-cons,
- He did mention that,
- Yeah, All of us and our little crew,
Me, Pete, Peyton, Lincoln,
Wilbert arrested all of us,
Well, he didn't,,,
He didn't arrest Lincoln, he didn't,
Lincoln got pinched years after Willie retired,
But, he's my nephew, and he needed some guidance,
And so, we invited him into the group,
- I'm kind of lost here,
How did that happen?
He arrested you?
- But yeah, Oh no, but Wilbert, I mean,
he, he legitimately arrested me,
And no offense to him, but I mean,
I wasn't really a master criminal,
I don't think I was cut out for a life of crime,
I got pinched fencing stolen merchandise,
And I mean, like I had the stolen merchandise,
and I had the money,
So, I'm going to jail,
And Wilbert, he reads me my Miranda rights, okay?
And then he pulls out a little Bible,
He reads me this passage,
"I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven
"over one sinner who repents,
"than 99 righteous persons who need no repentance,"
- Luke:15:7, - Yeah,
Only, I didn't know any of that yet,
I had yet to be introduced to Luke,
or any of the other guys,
So he puts me in back of the cruiser car,
And then he starts telling me about how things really work,
Like he really explains it to me,
How God has a plan for all of us,
And he tells me if I wanna repent
and stay on the straight and narrow,
he would be there for me, every step of the way,
- And he was, - Boy, was he,
In prison, he sent me toothpaste,
Bible study pamphlets,
And then, he spoke so eloquently at my parole hearing,
that they let me out of jail two days later,
And when I started my business,
he was my very first customer,
And the same thing held true for Pete, Peyton,
He arrested them, the same Bible verse,
Same follow-through,
And, your nephew?
- Lincoln,
Lincoln is one of those kids,
you probably got them around the church here,
You know, he's too smart for his own good, you know?
But he actually figured, as far as I know,
a new way to steal,
He was hacking into the computers of a car dealership,
so they would not notice that he was depleting their stock,
- Ho, ho, ho, that's not good!
- No, not good at all,
Broke my sister's heart,
But, you know what we did?
We sent him the closer,
He saved one more soul,
- Willie definitely has a gift,
You know, I bet his conversion numbers are better than mine,
- You know, I'm not gonna take that bet,
Because I think , I think you're right,
- Detective Wilbert Moser?
- Not any more,
- Oh, I'm sorry,
- I'm retired,
Nearly 15 years,
If this is a police matter, I can't help you,
- Well, yes and no,
I'm Alex D'Ambrosio, I'm a graduate student at Bucknell,
I'm a forensic psychology major,
- I'm delighted to meet you Miss D'Ambrosio,
But, it's been a very long day,
And my cat is waiting to eat,
- Of course, I understand,
But just another moment of your time, sir?
- I was assigned the Merchant Bank robbery
for my thesis project,
And I was just wondering if I could ask you
a few questions, if that's all right?
- I do wish I could help you,
But that was so very long ago,
I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing,
- But, the detectives downtown said
that you're obsessed with this case,
Detective Graham and Clay,
- They're right, I was obsessed,
Sometimes too much so,
Sometimes it's just hard to let things go,
But I decided
just today
over a nice warm piece of shoofly pie,
Enough is enough,
- Today you decided? - Yes,
I'm so sorry,
- Well, I'm at the Hotel Bethlehem if you change your mind,
Did you say shoofly pie?
Oh, yeah, Yeah,
At least you listen to me when I tell you about my dreams,
Yeah,
You think you're funny, don't you?
- Down there!
- You see him?
- I think I hear him,
- Just be careful, all right?
- There he is,
- Hank!

And if you need anything, just let me know, okay?
2Timothy:3:16-17,
"He's here to remind us,
"that this is a how-to book,"
- That's right,
This is the direction,
- Good morning,
- Oh, Miss D'Ambrosio,
What a surprise to see you here,
Oh, gentlemen, this young lady hopes to one day,
be an officer of the law,
- Hm? Is that correct?
- I hope so, yes,
- And how did you find me here?
- Well, I could tell you that
I've been brushing up on my surveillance skills
and tailing people,
But mostly I found this when I was doing my laundry,
So, I thought I'd stop by, and say hello,
And I don't know, maybe talk about the Donald Duck case,
- Well, we are in the middle of something,
- C'mon, Wilbert, we were just finishing up, anyway,
You mind if I use this? - Help yourself,
- Would you like to sit down?
- Thank you,
- I can take your bag,
Well,
it does say "All are welcomed,"
Let me introduce you to Peyton, and Pete,
Hitch- - Hi, how are you?
- And this is Barney, who owns the place,
- Let me get you a menu,
- Oh, no thank you,
But, maybe some coffee, please,
- Sure, - Thanks,
- And this suddenly well -mannered young man, is Lincoln,
And would you excuse me, my turn to pay the check,
- Thanks, Wilbert,
Hey, so, you wanna be a cop?
- I do,
How do you all know Mr, Moser?
- We're criminals,
- All of you? - Yeah, I'm afraid so,
- We were criminals,
But we're no longer criminals,
We've been out of jail longer than we were ever in,
- And, Mr, Moser, he made sure we all got a second chance,
- And we all took it,
- And you? - Me?
Um, uh, it was nothing really,
I was just messing around on my computer,
some minor hacking,
That is my uncle over there,
And I'm assuming he's clearing his throat,
because he thinks I should tell you that
the hacking may have led to a teeny, weensy, little case
of grand theft auto,
- Five cases, - Okay, five,
But who's counting?
- The D,A, was,
- Here's your coffee, - Oh,
- Let me know if I can get you anything else,
- Thank you,
- Hey, why are you interested in this robbery?
- I was assigned the case for my graduate thesis project,
And I came down last week to speak to Mr, Moser,
- He must of talked your ear off,
- No actually,
he said he didn't wanna talk about it any more,
- What? - Wait! What?
- This shocks all of you?
- They have that look,
because I've mentioned that robbery once or twice,
and they're surprised that
I don't wanna talk about it any more,
- Once or twice an hour- - The last 20 years,
- Anyway, I made the decision to let it go,
And Alex here, just happened to pop up at the wrong time,
- Or the right time,
- I heard that God's timing is always perfect,
- Thank you!
- Okay there you go,
Thanks, nice!
- Did everybody get what they wanted?
- I wanted rainbow sprinkles,
- Dude, it was only two minutes ago she told you
they were out of rainbow sprinkles,
so she gave you chocolate sprinkles instead,
- It's a complete different flavor,
- Other than Peyton's rainbow sprinkles debacle,
did everybody get what they want,
Yes!
- Now you have to understand that
the world was different in 1972,
There was hardly any crime, no violent crime at all,
Everybody felt safe and secure,
Now, any comments or questions so far?
Not about sprinkles,
- Yeah, why did they call it the Donald Duck robbery, again?
- So all the reporters started calling it that,
almost immediately, because the witnesses overheard
the robbers refer to each other as Huey, Dewey,
Louie, and Uncle Donald,
- I still don't understand,
- Oh, to be young again!
In the "Donald Duck" cartoon,
you do know who Donald Duck is, right?
- I guess so,
- Well, he had three nephews,
Huey, Louie, and Dewey,
So, during the robbery one man appeared to be
sort of the mastermind of the group,
And he was referred to by
one of the robbers as Uncle Donald,
- Couldn't they had figured out better nicknames than that?
- You just don't understand, it's 1972, right?
And the world just got color television,
And there's only three channels,
And everybody on the planet waited all week long for the
"Wonderful World of Disney," - "World of Disney," Okay?
- And if there was a "Donald Duck" cartoon,
we were overjoyed, because it was better than
watching one more stupid show about otters,
- I like otters,
- So, what happened next?
- Well, the alarm's still ringing,
and Huey and Dewey are already in the getaway car,
Louie runs out of the bank,
and before he can even get into the car,
a witness from across the street, Bob Fleck,
overhears Dewey yell "This ain't your lucky day, Louie!"
Then the car sped off, and heads west,
- Now I get it, that's why they called it "Lucky Louie,"
- Something just occurred to me,
They changed the plan in the middle of the robbery,
- Well, Hitch, that's a very interesting statement,
Why do you think that?
- Well because Louie was apparently surprised
that Uncle Donald went out the back door,
- Yes, How do you know he was surprised?
- If it was part of the plan,
it would of been no reason to mention it here,
- Louie thought he was getting in that getaway car,
- Right, - Yes,
Why?
- Well, he could of followed Uncle Donald
at the back door, right? But he didn't,
He came out the front door, he thought he was getting away,
- All the college, all the classes, all the exams you take,
will never give you the insight that these good men,
who happen to be ex-criminals will have,
- Just a minute,
I just figured something out,
So you hang out with us, so we can solve your cases,
- I'd like to plead the fifth on that,
- So I think you'd wanna do the same thing this year,
It'd be like 20 poinsettias on, or near the alter,
For each entrance, I think three by the baptismal fountain,
Maybe we should just buy 30,
- All that will be fine,
- What?
- Willie, I can't believe you brought me
all the way out here to talk about Christmas decorations,
when I haven't even bought the Halloween candy yet,
- You know, maybe you should of been a cop,
You're very good at reading people,
- So?
What's on your mind, big guy?
- It's about the robbery,
Of course it is,
- See? Right there? That's actually what I'm talking about,
It never occurred to me
how obsessed I must of seemed sometimes, until lately,
When everybody has been kind of making fun of me about it,
- I don't think they're being cruel about it,
though, are they?
- Of course not, not at all,
I think I'm getting sensitive
just because I'm getting old and crabby,
- Old maybe, Crabby, never,
- So you see, I decided I finally had to put it behind me,
And I committed myself to it, fully,
I decided if I stopped obsessing about it so much,
maybe the dreams would stop,
And then, this lovely grad student shows up
out of no where,
and wants me to help her figure it out,
It's just causing me anxiety that I didn't anticipate,
- Why?
- Miriam, that's why you're here,
So I can ask you why,
If I knew why, I would have no need for pastoral guidance,
- Oh, give me a break!
You know so much more about this stuff than I ever will,
Willie, you've done so much for people, you still do,
Where have you been hiding that guy, Hitch?
- Oh, Hitch is a great guy, isn't he?
- Yeah,
- But you have no obligation to help this girl,
Especially if it means you're doing something
that you don't wanna do,
I'm sure she'll understand,
- Oh, I know you,
And I know there's an "On the other hand,"
lurking in there somewhere,
- On the other hand, maybe working with this girl
might help you put this behind you,
I mean, really behind you,
Once and for all,
And you can finally sleep,

It's so good to see you, Hold on, sorry,
I just,,,Here, please, sit,
- No, that's all right,
I owe you an apology,
And to be honest,
I didn't know what to make of you when we met,
- No, I'm sorry, I probably came across way too strong,
I really owe you an apology,
- Not at all,
You're a very impressive young lady,
I was wondering if you might have some time
for another field trip?
And funny being back here,
Some things never change,
Right after I retired, I kept coming by
two or three times a week,
- Maybe out of habit, - Yeah, habit,
Or duty,,,Duty to what?
I don't know,
- Oh! Vicky! - Wilbert!
- Vicky, hi! - Hi!
- Carmen, nice to see you,
Nice to see you!
- You think the department would wanna take full advantage
of a resource like you,
- Hey, don't fool yourself,
Cops don't like a retired cop hanging around,
- Where's that number?
- Oh boy, here's trouble,
- I told you see was gonna get him,
And look, she's got him!
How you doing, Detective Moser?
- I'm well, gentlemen,
And I see that you've already met Miss D'Ambrosio,
- We have,
And imagine our surprise when she told us
you were giving up on Donald Duck,
- Momentary lapse in judgment,
But now, we are back on the case,
- What do you need?
- I was wondering if we could show Miss D'Ambrosio
the original case file?
And that is, of course, as long as we don't compromise
an ongoing investigation,
- I think we can give you that,
Considering there hasn't been
an ongoing investigation since 1977?
- Not counting yours, of course,
I'm gonna gonna leave you in
Detective Graham's capable hands,
In the meantime, I'm gonna try to solve some crimes
that happened after we landed on the moon,
I'm just being a jerk, because that's what I do,
Honestly we revere this man,
Nobody has solved more cold cases than this guy,
- Except the one I wanted to solve the most,
- Oh, give me a break, You're gonna learn a lot,
- Mm, I already have,
- Okay, I'm gonna head down to the land of nod,
See if I can dig up that old case file of yours,
What was the name of it, again?
I'm just kidding, Make yourselves at home,
- Thank you,
Hm, they're fun,
- And don't let the wisecracks fool you,
They're the best of the best,
Oh, and that reminds me,
You have an invitation this Sunday
to a barbecue at Pete's house,
And believe me, you're gonna wanna come,
because his wife Beth, is not only our crack
emergency room surgeon,
but she's one of the best cooks in the county,
And I have written all the instructions and directions
on how to get there, and the time-
- No, - On the back of my card,
Why you laughing?
- Lincoln actually already stopped by the hotel,
and he gave me an invitation to the barbecue,
- No surprise there,
- Oh hey! Thomas, can you grab the door?
- Yeah, sure, - Thanks, hon,
- Your welcome,
- Oh! - Thank you, Tommy,
- Oh! - Hello, hello!
Desert has arrived,
- That looks amazing, Barney,
People are gonna be so happy,
- Ah, just something I threw together,
What can I do to help?
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
Today, we wait on you, Go,
The boys are out back, give Pete your order,
- Okay,
- You're the guest, - Okay,
- Hey! Mom?
- What?
- Oh, where are the paper plates?
- Um, they're right there on the counter,
- Do you smell vanilla?
- Oh? Hm? I don't know where that came from,
- One of life's great mysteries,
- Burgers and dogs ready,
Let me know what you want, and I will bring it to you,
You guys okay? All right,
How you doing, buddy? Everything's good?
- I recently performed this trick for the Queen of England,
- Thanks, Pete,
- At least she said she was the Queen of England,
One, two,,,,
three!
Thank you, thank you,
Pay attention to him!
- He's good, - You're amazing!
- Barney, you have outdone yourself,
- Hello, hello, hello, everybody,
- There he is,
- I'm sorry I'm late,
My date had a little Sunday morning business,
Where is she?
- She's coming, she's getting me a soda,
- I hope we like her,
- Oh I'm,,,I'm really confident you're gonna like her,
- Cream soda, right?
- Thank you very much,
- Okay, here, please-
- Hello, everyone, I'm Mimi,
Hi, Willie,
- My worlds are colliding,,,
And I love it,
- See, I'm so glad we talked you guys into staying later,
- Mm, nothing like a nice fire on a fall night,
- It's so comforting,
Oh boy, here comes trouble,
- So Wilbert, Pete was telling me
that Alex has been helping you with that robbery,
How's it going?
- Oh, pretty good, I think,
But, she's running out of time,
Her thesis has to be finished pretty soon,
- But, we have a new plan for that,
- Which is? - We all help,
- I like that,
Wait! How?
- Well honestly, I really could use some help
with the interviews,
- Hold on, wait a minute, wait a minute,
You're joking, right? That was like 50 years ago,
I mean, they're all dead, aren't they?
Dear Lord, I hope not,
- I think some of them might not be that hard to find,
- Hold on a sec, is Mimi short for Miriam, by any chance?
- It is,
- As in, uh,,,Miriam Dunn? The praying girl?
- Guilty as charged, officer,
- Oh!
- Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, wait a minute,
This guy has been talking about this robbery
for as long as I've known him,
And you're telling me, you,,,you were there?
Okay, now my worlds are colliding,
- Oh, the Pastor was one of the first people I talked to
when I re-opened the case,
- Nearly 35 years ago, right? - Mm-hm,
- Well, if we're gonna interview people,
how about I interview you?
- Maybe I should interrogate you,
- I'm a hostile witness here, your honor,
- Alex, I would be honored to work with you,
Hey, we all would be honored to work with you,
- Count me in, - Me too,
- Sounds good, let's do it,
So, this is Dewey, right?
Yeah, Roger Parkinson, Not a pleasant man,
- Just wait right here,
- Hey, you got it, or don't you got it?
Yeah, your block, okay, okay,
- How are you doing?
- Well, I'd be honest with you,
I'd never figured I'd end up in a place like this again,
But I was not gonna let you come alone,
- Okay, come on, - We're coming,
Here, be careful,
Let's go, Parkinson, be sociable,
- Who are you, and what's this about?
- My name is Alex D'Ambrosio,
and I'm a forensic psychology major,
I'm writing my thesis on the Merchant Bank Robbery,
- Okay,
Who are you?
- I'm Hitch, I'm her research assistant,
- I said all I'm gonna say about that bank robbery,
Read about it in the court transcripts,
- I have read the transcripts, many times,
But I still have a few questions,
if that's all right with you,
- I told you, I'm not talking about it,
- Hey, I wonder if you might know a friend of mine?
- I hardly doubt it,
- Anthony Carboni?
- Yeah Carboni's in here,
- Yeah, he still talking about going to Sicily all the time?
- Yeah, he never shuts up about it,
The guy's pushing 80 years old,
and he just pulled another 20 years,
The closest he's gonna get to Sicily
is a can of Spaghetti-O's,
How do you know him?
- Ah, well, he was my, uh,,,
He was my cellmate about 30 years ago,
- You on the straight and narrow now?
- By the grace of God, - Hm?
- So, what's so important about this stupid bank job?
- Stupid, because it didn't work out?
Or stupid, because you were caught?
- No, it's stupid because it went foobar,
- What is foobar?
Oh, okay, How did that happen?
- Uncle Donald pulled a fast one on us,
And guess who got caught holding the bag?
- Well, some people think that you were responsible,
but that you hid the money before you were caught,
- I don't care what people think,
I'm telling you, I had a bag, all right,
But it wasn't filled with money,
it was filled with magazines,
- But you thought there was money in it,
- Of course,
- And you would of kept it, if you hadn't been caught,
- Why do you think I'm in this place?
A place where I've spent three-quarters of my life?
Look at me, Do I look like an honorable citizen to you?
Uncle Donald changed the plan,
So I changed the plan,
When he didn't come out that door when he was supposed,
why should I wait for him?
- And, Louie? - Louie!
Louie was a moron,
And if I ever catch him, or find out who he is,
he's gonna regret it,
- You'd harm him? - Happily!
An operation like this takes precise timing,
And the 15 seconds that he cost us,
could be the 15 seconds that put me in a place like this,
So yeah, if I had my way, he'd pay for what he did,
- You never gave up the name of Uncle Donald, why is that?
- I didn't know his name, - How is that possible?
- He used a triple rat hole to hire me, that's how,
- I'm sorry, a triple what? - Triple rat hole,
Explain it to her,
- All right, so look, somebody wants to run a job,
They don't want people to know who they are
for obvious reasons,
So they can hire an intermediary,
Somebody who hires the crew, right?
And that guy is paid in advance for that service,
And that way, if somebody gets caught,
nobody knows who the real boss is, okay?
That's one rat hole,
What Roger her is saying is that,
Uncle Donald, he used three rat holes,
Which means that Roger would have to rat on
the guy above him,
who would have to rat out the guy above him,
Who would be the guy that would rat out Uncle Donald,
And the chances of something like that happening
in this kind of world are slim-to-none,
- Good night, no rat,
- Fascinating,

- And I got down on the ground,
And I was trying to check my surroundings out,
just to sort of try to see what was going on,
You know, what were they trying to achieve?
And it just seemed very chaotic,
And I just didn't know what was gonna happen next,
- So what do you remember about the robbery?
- Well not much, I was knocked to the ground,
and kind of semi-conscious at the time,
- You hear 'em call any names?
- Well, I did hear them say a few names,
But they were cartoon character names,
Huey, Dewey, Louie,
- It was, I'd have to say, it was a miracle, the first one,
And I wouldn't be here, otherwise,
I just simply wouldn't be here at all,
- If you, did you reach for the alarm,
or not? - Oh no, No, no,
Never, I wouldn't take that kind of chance,
No, I was carrying my boy, I was pregnant,
And I wouldn't do anything to endanger him,
- I was parking cars to make some money
to take my girlfriend to Shankweiler's Drive-in,
And the alarm went off in the bank,
And there was all this commotion,
But I did hear somebody yell,
"This ain't your lucky day, Louie!"
And you're sure that's what he said exactly?
"This ain't your lucky day, Louie!" I'll never forget it,
- He did all he could, all he felt he needed to do,
to take care of us,
We had four children, He was a good daddy,
he was just a wonderful man,
He may have done some wrong,
But he was trying to do good,

So who's this again?

- Well, I mean, it's his last known address,
as far as I could find,
- I don't know, I don't like the looks of this place,
- Let's do this,
- Okay, I guess we're going anyway,
- Alex, Lincoln!
- Hello?
You know, we can see you,
- I don't know nothing about those cherries!
Mulroney!
He owns a farm two roads over,
it's got a fruit stand in front,
He said he saw me take some of his cherries, but he's lying!
Because I never took any of his stupid cherries!
- So you're saying
you didn't take Mr, Mulroney's cherries?
- No! I didn't!
Anyway, they tasted awful!
He picked them too soon, the moron!
- Mr, Tiller, we're not here to talk about the cherries,
- What are you bothering me for then?
- We wanted to talk to you about
that Merchant's Bank robbery back in 1972,
- Um, Mr, Tiller, I'm very sorry if we've upset you,
- Upset me!
How could coming out here, now only 50 years later,
not upset me?
That was the worse day of my life, I'll tell you that!
I was gone from the bank the very next week,
- Oh, they fired you?
- No! Don't be dumb,
They don't fire you for something like that,
- I'm sorry, you gotta excuse him,
He doesn't understand,
he doesn't understand what you went through that day,
- It was awful, let me tell you,
That man, he threatened me,
He put a gun to the top of my head,
Said he was gonna get me,
I haven't had a good night's sleep since 1972,
- It is completely understandable
that you don't wanna relive what happened to you that day,
Maybe you have some records or files here
that we could look through, that could help solve the case?
- I want you all to get off my land,
- I see we've upset you again,
- You didn't upset me! That robbery did!
That was the worse day of my life, I'll tell you that,
Big plans, that they changed everything,
All of a sudden things didn't turn out the way
I thought they would,
So, I don't feel like talking about it any more,
Not with you! Not with anybody!
So get out of here! - Okay,
- Well, wait here, I got my telephone number,
if you think of anything else,
- I'm not gonna think of anything else!
'Cause I'm not gonna think about it at all!
Now, get out of here! - Okay,
- You tell Mulroney,
he better stop talking about those cherries!
Or, he's gonna get what's coming to him!
- Ah, it's nice and relaxed, Such a crazy week,
- I know, I mean,
it's no wonder they never solved this case,
There's just so many odd characters,
- Yeah but, it's really great
how you handled that guy yesterday,
Very impressive how you switched gears,
- Thank you, But forensic psychology
is supposed to teach you how people think,
I mean, not just to catch criminals,
I mean, obviously that's a big part of it,
But when you know how someone things,
it's easier to communicate with them on their own terms,
Which means, you just get more information,
- Is that what you're doing right now? With me?
Trying to figure me out?
- I bet I could do a whole casebook just on you, Lincoln,
Do you wanna know something?
- Yes, I do,
- So, one of my class directives is to write
a full personality report
on every significant person that I meet,
so I actually have a report on each of our friends, and you,
- What does mine look like?
- It's still a work in progress,
- Will there be anything else?
- Mhm-mm, - No, thanks,
Delicious,
- This place is classy,
- I'd really wish you'd let me go dutch,
- No, no, no,
I know it's kind of hard,
Believe, being a professional hacker
pays way better than when I was an amateur,
- And has a lot less risk,
- Yes, that is true,
But sometimes, it's necessary to take risks,
otherwise you don't know where you really stand,
- I'd like to make a toast,
Can you toast with iced tea?
- You can do anything you want,
To necessary risks,
May we never be afraid to take them,
- I can drink to that,
I didn't mean right this second,
- Thanks, - Oh my gosh, thank you,
But, I'm sorry, I don't think we've ordered this,
- It's from them,
- So you just gonna move on? - That's the plan,
Do you not want me to?
Are you actually asking me? Or-
- No, no, - Okay,
- No, I do like it here,
And I like our friends,
And I like you,
- So, so,,,what's next?
You graduate at the top of your class-
- Yes, - And then?
Off to where?
- Quantico, - Oh, I hope so,
That's only like a three hour drive from here, by the way,
You could visit me,
- So listen, I know that sooner you finish this up,
the sooner you have to leave here,
And, despite that, there's something I wanna give you,
- It's, I just keep it in my sock,
- Wow, Lincoln, You scared me there for a second,
That's just the prettiest flash drive I've ever seen,
What's on this?
- So, it just so happens that the Merchant Bank
was taken over by the Keystone Bank in 1985,
And then, the Keystone Bank,
it was folded into the William Penn Bank Group
in the early 2000s,
And how do I know all this?
Well, it just so happens that the William Penn Bank Group,
they're clients of mine,
And it took a lot of digging,
but I thought it might be helpful if you had
the actual surveillance footage from the bank,
- So this is the actual bank robbery?
- Yeah, I know I'm just a dumb old hacker,
but I figured some even grainy footage would help, uh?
Now this right here, should not surprise me,
- I'm so excited to see this,
- I know,
- I think we need popcorn,
- Oh!
- Am I the only one that thinks we need popcorn here?
- I'm way ahead of you,
- And maybe some candy?
It's just not a movie without candy,
- Edie, honey, can you get that?
yeah, I got it,
- This will be figured out in a second, guys,
Dad, it's Mom, She says she needs to talk to you,
- Why she calling on that phone?
- Hey, where is Wilbert?
I figured he'd be one of the first ones here,
- Yeah, - Yeah, I did, too,
I called him first, so I thought he'd beat you all here,
- I'll tell you what I'm excited about,
Dig this, I'm gonna get to see Mimi
when she was a teenager,
- Beth just called, Wilbert's not coming,
He's in the hospital, He's in the emergency room right now,
- What happened?
- They don't know everything,
but it doesn't look good,
- Oh, man,
- Morning, - Well?
- It turns out that Wilbert had a Vfib cardiac arrest,
Which means that his heart stopped
due to an abnormal electrical rhythm,
He was very smart to call the ambulance
and get here as quickly as he did,
He did have a blocked artery, so we put in a stent,
- Beth, I'm sorry, is he gonna be okay?
- I think so, yes,
I mean, we're gonna keep him sedated for a few days,
You know, just give him a chance to let his body heal,
But, I'm really hopeful that
he's gonna make a full recovery,
- Well, I know what we've gotta do,
I'm gonna get the congregation on it right away,
Thank you for everything that you've done,
Wait? Doesn't Wilbert have a cat?
- Oh, yes, yeah, he does,
- I totally forgot about that,
It's okay, I have a key, I can go over and get it,
- Wait, you, Hitch?
You run out of the room when my cats come near you,
You hate cats, - You hate cats?
- It's more of an allergy situation, not a,,,
- Call me if anything else happens,
- Okay you got it,
thanks, thanks Beth, - I'll go with the cat hater,
- Your welcome, - Yeah, Bye, Beth,
Bye,
- All right, I'm gonna go to the garage,
I think he has one of those cat carriers out there,
- Okay, I'll work on surveillance and apprehension,
- Good,
- Wait, and what's the cat's name?
- I don't know the dumb cat's name,
Just apprehend any cat you find,
- Here, kitty, kitty!
- There you are! Hey, come here!
Hello?
I know you're down here,
Come on, we gotta get you out of here, so you can eat,
Oh, now you're trapped, come on,
All right, hold on,
Come here, where did you go?
- I found it! It was behind all the Christmas stuff,
- Thank you, I'll be right out, I got the cat right in here,
Oh, okay, okay,
- Come here, come here,
Oh, oh,
- Hello, - Hello,
- Okay,
Did I just wake you up?
- No, yeah, I was still sleeping,
Why?
- Because the cat kept me up all night,
You could of left him at Wilbert's
and fed him there,
- Well, why didn't you just tell me that yesterday?
Look, I'm glad you called,
Because, while I was up last night,
I think I had a rather good idea,
And I wanna run it by you,
Okay,
- Okay, you gonna be at church?
I will,
- All right, I got a couple of yards,
I'll come by after, okay?
See you there,
- All right, thank you, Mimi,
- Bye, - Okay, bye,
I hear you,
I know you're hungry,
I'm hungry, too,
- So, what's your big idea?
- Okay, I got a question for you,
Is it okay to do something wrong,
if it's for the right reason?
- No,
- Okay, I'm sure that's just because
I asked the wrong way, Let me think about it, hold on,
Ah, ah, ah,
What if you wanna do something good,
but you gotta do something bad to do the good thing?
- That's the exact same question rephrased,
Hold on a minute,
- Mimi, that's the Ten Commandments,
- So, I checked,
There's no expiration date on these,
Hitch, what do you wanna do?
- I wanna rob a bank,
- That definitely made the list,
Right there,
Thou, that means you,
Shall not steal, That means rob a bank,
- Mimi, come on, I don't really wanna rob a bank,
I wanna pretend to rob a bank,
Look, I think if we can get the community to help us,
I don't know, maybe Alex could film it or something,
It might help her figure out where the money went,
And then, maybe Wilbert could finally get some rest,
- Thank you, - Thank you,
- Guess what? - What?
- The Board said yes, They love Wilbert,
They said anything good for Wilbert, is good for the bank,
So, let's rob this bank! - What? Did, did?
- Oh, no, no, no, we're just-
- In 1972, four masked men
walked into Merchant National Bank and robbed it,
getting $350,000,
Money that was never found,
Now, the community is coming together to restage,
get this, a bank robbery,
Retired Detective Wilbert Moser has been obsessed
with the Merchant Bank robbery for 50 years,
Moser, a volunteer for many community organizations,
landed in the hospital last week,
And everyone who appreciates his dedication,
is coming together to solve this case,
- It's great for everyone to come together as a community,
We're a community bank, and hopefully we solve the case!
- I think it's definitely a unique way to do it,
I've never seen anything like it before,
- The big question, were is the money?
Will Lewis reporting for "WFMZ 69 News,"
- Hey, do you understand it all?
- I do, but Pastor Mimi,
are you sure you don't wanna play yourself?
I feel bad taking your part,
- I've lived through that bank robbery one time too many,
Besides, I have a much more important job,
I'm gonna make sure we have enough food when this is done,
- Good luck!
Hi, Sister Bonnie? - Mm-hm?
- Can you be at the crosswalk at the top of the hour?
- Yes,
And who's driving the getaway car?
- That's a really good question,
Let me find the answer for that for you,
- They're right over here, - Okay, thank you,
- I had it with you guys!
- Oh hi, boys, have we figured out who's playing who yet?
- No, they're still arguing about it,
- He's arguing, - What's the problem?
- We all wanna be Uncle Donald,
- I'm the only one of these guys
that has professional performing experience,
Wouldn't it make sense that I play the lead role?
- You are a magician!
- Gentlemen, gentlemen!
There are no small parts, only small criminals,
No? I'm kidding,
Barney, you're Huey,
- Oh, good, I get to sit down all day,
- Pete, you're Dewey,
- I don't know if I can be that mean,
but I'll do the best I can,
- Hitch, you're Louie, - Oh, lucky me,
- I see what you did there,
- And Peyton, you get to be- - Uncle Donald!
And all is right in the world,
- All right, I'm gonna keep an eye on you guys,
And if I see anybody get out of line,
I'm gonna put you in a time out, Come on, Lincoln,
- An actor prepares,
- You really are pathetic, You're pathetic!
- Thank you all for being here,
It's very kind of you all to show up,
to support our dear friend, Wilbert,
Alex here has asked that I say a prayer before you head off,
So, will you please bow your heads?
Dear Lord, we know you're always with us,
And we ask that you bless this bank robbery today,
Oh boy, that could be a real career ender,
Thank heavens that no one else will know
that I asked God to bless a bank robbery today,
Barney, come on, you gotta drive faster,
Alex said we have to be on time!
What are you waiting for? - Come on!
- You could of just gone,
Okay, you could of gone right now,
Dude, we're gonna be late!
- Hey! I told you guys I'd help you rob the bank,
I will not get a traffic ticket,
This is a robbery!
- Be careful! - I will! Phew!
- Oh!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- I'm not messing around here,
Get me to that vault!
Chop, chop! Yeah!
- Did you push that button? Did you push button?
- No, stop, I'm pregnant!
- What! - I'm acting,
- Oh, what's my next line? - I don't care,
I don't care,
-Our Father, who art in heaven-- Be quiet!
Girl, I said be quiet! - Hey, back off, Dewey!
- I'll take both of you out! - Dewey!
- Magic Johnson you not, okay!
Now?
Go, go, go!
- Everything's gonna be okay,
we'll be out of here in a few minutes,
- Go! - It's the magic again,
- Louie, you idiot! You missed the bank manager!
Go, go, go, go!
- Uncle Donald went out the back door,
- It's not your lucky day, Louie!
- Okay, they're coming your way, Good job,
- Go!
- And now I gotta roll? - Yes!
- I hope you stretched!
- Don't move, or I'll blow your head off!
- Okay, are you sure you didn't find anything?
- I'm telling you, there was nothing there,
- I can't find anything,
- Me either,
- Oh, guys, let's get a picture for Wilbert,
- This is extraordinary,
Oh! There's Hazel,
Wally,
I can't believe everybody went through all this trouble
on my behalf,
And Hitch, the great cat hater,
Thanks for taking care of her,
- Anything you need,
Good news is, we're finally on the same sleep schedule,
but believe me, I'll be happy to return the cat,
- How you doing with the big mystery,
have you figured it out yet?
- I'm trying, you know,
I just think if we could figure out where the money went,
it would give a lot of people some closure, you know?
- And?
- Well, I'm still working on it,
But I actually have something else that I wanna show you,
That I think is just gonna blow your mind,
- I hope not,
At my age, I can't afford to lose another week of my life,
- But you are leaving tomorrow, right?
So they say,
- Okay, now I'm gonna start it,
But if any point you don't wanna watch anymore,
we can turn it off, - Okay,
Okay, so this is where Lincoln split the screen,
so that you can see the actual robbery,
and the recreation at the same time,
- Alex, this is sensational,
So Lincoln tracked down this footage?
- Yeah, it was a huge coincidence,
- Hitch, what do you think about what Alex just said?
- Well, Wilbert doesn't believe in coincidences,
He calls that a POG, proof of God,
- For 30 years I tried to find that footage,
They kept telling me it was lost forever,
- Well, I really gotta brag about the kids here,
They had this down to a science,
They even had this group of people
who they followed Pete, who was playing Dewey
in this recreation,
They followed everywhere he ran,
to see if there was anyplace Dewey could of hid the money,
before the cops got him,
- That was very kind of them,
But now I realized Mr, Parkinson wasn't lying
about that, after all,
He never had the money,
- Wait, how could you possibly know that?
- Because of your hard work,
- I finally know who Uncle Donald is,
- Hello, everyone,
Thank you for joining us for this reunion of sorts,
Your counterparts did an excellent job
recreating the robbery based off of newspaper articles,
TV news clips, and court testimony,
This event has had such an impact on so many
of you here today, and we are very grateful
that you joined us,
- I'm just here for the cherry pie,
- Well, you have Barney to thank for that,
Best desserts in town, thank you, Barney,
- There's plenty more where that came from,
- Anyway, we are very excited that you are here
for this celebration, and pie,
And now that every one is good and satiated,
there's something that I would like to share with you,
So, here's what we know,
This was one well-planned robbery,
And I say that because for 50 years,
no one could figure out what happened,
As investigators, we get stuck in the weeds,
trying to figure out the details of what the plan was,
When actually, the real clues are in what the plan wasn't,
Crazy talk, I know, right?
But, let me explain,
- This is a robbery!
Uncle Donald obviously meticulously
planned this robbery, - You in the white dress!
But then, there are some events
that he could not had planned,
For instance, a young pastor Mimi,
in what was the scariest moment of her young life,
is moved to pray out loud,
And that simple prayer leads to an altercation
between Dewey and Louie,
- I'll take you both out!
And that argument gives Arthur Tiller
the cover he needs to crawl from his hiding place
in the back room to his desk, to trigger the hidden alarm,
And the reason he was in the back room, in the first place,
is because of another seemingly random unplanned event,
The toilet was clogged,
Oo! Gross, I know,
But, what a game changer,
Because Mr, Tiller asked his secretary, Loretta Wilson,
to call the plumber at exactly 4:53 p,m,,
which we know based off of phone records,
Thank goodness Mr, Tiller stayed back and dealt
with the problem,
Or else, he wouldn't had been able to save the day,
Isn't that right, Mr, Tiller? - That's a fact,
- And lastly, maybe the four criminals
would had escaped justice if it wasn't for
one last random act,
A random act of kindness, one might say,
That played out just two miles away,
If it weren't for Sarah Finn's new Buster Brown shoes,
they might have never been captured,
I'm sorry, she's a new,
but very important character to our story,
May I introduce everyone to Miss Sarah Finn,
Thank you for joining us, - I'm glad to be here,
This is all so fascinating,
- You were six years old at the time of the robbery,
correct? - Yes,
She had gotten a brand new pair of shoes
the night before,
They were her pride and joy,
but she stepped in a puddle of mud,
while she was playing in the park
with her favorite teacher, Sister Alice,
At the very moment that a young Pastor Mimi
was lying on the bank floor,
praying for some divine intervention,
Perhaps that was the divine intervention,
The child was devastated, - My shoes!
- Any woman would understand how upsetting it is
for a young girl to ruin a brand new pair of shoes!
Even a nun, Isn't that right, Sarah?
- Very true,
- Hey, Sarah?
It's okay, Look!
They are as good as new,
Let's put them on,
Oh, look so beautiful on you, Ready to go back to school?
Sister Alice made sure that
those shoes were presentable,
even if it meant that she would be spending
the rest of the night hand-washing her habit,
- Sister Alice was such a wonderful woman,
- So, her random act of kindness delayed the group
just long enough so that they were
in the middle of the crosswalk at the exact moment
that Huey turned the corner,
Maybe if the criminals had known one another
before the robbery, Roger Parkinson would had been aware
that Harry Hamilton, also known as Huey,
was struggling in that moment to do the right thing,
Which we know, because he went to mass nearly every day,
Even the morning of the robbery,
Isn't that right? - Yes, he did,
- So there was no way he was gonna harm any nun or child,
- No, goodness, no, no,
- So Harry stopped the car,
knowing full well in that moment
that his chance to run was over,
And that he would have to pay for his actions,
And he did, - Yeah,
- That he lived on the straight and narrow
for the rest of his life, isn't that right?
- Yes, he did, Yes, - Thank you,
As for Roger Parkinson,
well, he's where any narcissistic, dangerous,
sociopath belongs,
Behind bars forever,
He served his time for the robbery,
And then, lived a remorseless life of crime thereafter,
He spent a lot of time in jail,
For years, we had thought maybe he had taken the money,
and hidden it along his path,
but thanks to the work of many volunteers,
one of whom maybe pulled a hamstring,
Thank you, Pete,
We know that isn't the case,
And so, now I'd like to hand it over
to the man who finally solved the puzzle, Wilbert,
- Thank you, Alex,
Just remember, you're the star of the show,
I'm only here to support you,
I'm a lucky man,
You see, I've lived a life filled with many blessings,
And the greatest of those blessings,
is the friends I have,
Many of the people who are the closest to me,
are here in this room,
And they all lead very interesting lives,
Like this guy, right here,
Peyton,
Peyton is an honest-to-goodness magician,
A professional,
When he shows us an amazing trick,
and I ask him "How did you do that?"
You know what he says?
"I did it pretty good,"
He's the real deal, never gives a trick away,
And boy, is that frustrating to a guy like me,
who's always trying to figure things out,
And I also count Lincoln here, as a friend,
Because when you get to be my age,
you always need someone to show you how your phone works,
Or, your TV,
Lincoln, would you run the video for me, please?
Now, Lincoln, stop! Right there!
Okay, good,
Now, back to the magic tricks,
Fabulous stuff,
And even if my friend won't tell me how tricks work,
I've always heard that a great trick needs a good setup,
A little misdirection, maybe some smoke and mirrors,
Friends of the Donald Duck robbery
might just be the greatest magic performed
in the last 50 years,
And even though the magician
who miraculously pulled it off was an amateur,
he fooled us all for half a century,
It was an inside job,
And that person is sitting in this room,
At this moment, right here,
the magic show had already begun,
And nobody in the bank knows it yet,
Alex mentioned this happened
- at exactly 4:53 p,m,, right? - Mm-hm,
- Lincoln, would you fast-forward, please?
Good! Stop right there!
Did anyone see the first part of the trick?
- No, - Mm-um,
- Well, don't feel bad, Neither did I for 50 years,
But you've already witnessed the setup,
Okay, let's fast-forward again,
Hey! Stop right there!
How about that?
Anyone?
You see this magician is really good,
Okay, Lincoln, last bit, please,
Now, here's where things get really crazy,
The alarm rings, thanks to Mr, Tiller's heroic efforts,
Uncle Donald moves towards the manager's desk,
And right here, is where the mastermind of the robbery
threatens to kill poor Mr, Tiller,
Would you, can we see this bigger, please?
I dare say that moment,
right there,
must of been the worse moment of your life,
- Yes, It was,
And I don't appreciate you making
me sit here and relive it,
- Your are so right! I'm sorry, I'm being rude,
You don't wanna see that,
Lincoln, can we pull up the second camera, please?
Oh, Mr, Tiller, that's you popping up behind your desk!
That's you!
Stop it, right there,
Much better, right?
- Obviously, I'm alive ain't I?
Nobody's pushing a gun to my head!
- And at that moment in time,
you were now $350,000 richer!
- I don't have to take this abuse!
- Sit down!
- You all are crazy,
- Come on, Mr, Tiller, we watched your show,
The least you can do is see the end of ours,
- You can say what you want,
but there's no way you can prove what you say,
- As a matter of fact, I can,
But I'm sorry,
because I'm gonna have to give away your trick to do it,
As I mentioned earlier, the magic show began
when Loretta Wilson picked up that phone,
Now, sometimes you need a fresh perspective
to get an insight that you would otherwise miss,
For instance, when our young friend Lincoln here,
interviewed Mrs, Wilson,
along with his Uncle Hitch,
he asked a question that an older, more polite person
would never ask,
As he was turning to leave,
he just couldn't resist asking Mrs, Wilson-
- Miss Wilson, when they finally came to check the bathroom,
how bad was it?
- And that, was the very first time
anyone had asked her that question,
And, guess how she answered?
- The funniest thing is,
when the plumber came back the next day,
he said there was nothing wrong with it at all,
- So, what was it back there?
- There's nothing wrong with your bathroom,
- What do you mean, there's nothing wrong with the bathroom?
- I mean, there's literally nothing wrong,
- Okay, let me get you a check,
- No, no charge,
There was nothing for me to fix,
I'll get you on the next call,
At 4:53 p,m,,
Arthur Tiller directed Mrs, Wilson to her phone,
He closed the door to the employee area,
so no one would see him unlock the restroom,
In which he had probably stored his coveralls,
mask, and the bags used in the robbery,
He used his master pass key to unlock the rear door,
and he disengaged the alarm on that door,
which gave him two full minutes
to cover the short distance between the bank's location,
and the designated rendezvous spot,
We've been over the robbery countless times,
We know when they entered, we know how they argued,
We know Mimi prayed,
and we know despite what Uncle Donald said,
Kathy Reade never reached for that alarm,
- Uncle Donald!
Hey! What's she doing? She reached for the alarm?
- You see, that part of the robbery served
one purpose only,
Misdirection,
From where Dewey was standing,
he could see over the teller's cage,
Which wasn't good, because Arthur Tiller
was about to pull his greatest feat
of prestidigitation,
The trick was so simple,
Once Dewey was misdirected,
Uncle Donald pulled the old switch-a-roo,
Keep your face down, and your eyes shut,
or you'll regret what happens next,
Please deliver us safely from these bank-
- He probably practiced this move at home
for weeks, before the robbery,
But thanks to Pastor Mimi's praying,
he had twice as long to switch the bags,
I'm not kidding back off!
I'll take you both out!
- Dewey! Bag!
- There were three secret alarms in the bank,
We've established that one was near Kathy Reade,
And we know that one was under Mr, Tiller's desk,
And you know where the third one was?
It was exactly where Uncle Donald was standing,
- Dewey! Bag!
Get ready to blow!
Louie! You idiot! You missed the manager!
- Now, I know what you're wondering,
How could he be standing beside the desk,
and also be behind the desk?
Well, of course he can't be!
So, here's what I think happened next,
Remember what I said about smoke and mirrors?
Uncle Donald definitely made sure there was smoke,
When he had to cover the smoke bomb,
all Uncle Donald had to do,
was grab the bag filled with cash,
run into the employee area,
toss it with the coveralls and mask, into the restroom,
Re-lock the restroom door,
He purposely opened the rear door,
setting off the second alarm,
Crawled to his desk,
and pretended to be there all along,
- That is an out and out lie!
I was behind that desk fearing for my life!
I was a hero!
- No, sir, You were not a hero,
You were a criminal,
And in this instance, you were not even a good magician,
Because even though you remembered the smoke,
you forgot the mirrors,
Lincoln, can you run that last clip please?
How about that?
Same bank, same camera angles,
Same action,
I want you to see something, I want you to watch this,
That's my friend, Peyton,
Watch what happens when he clears,
You see this reflection?
This is a reflection of Mr, Dunham,
My friend, who's now manager of the bank,
and he's playing you in the recreation,
Because he's where you said you were,
You said you were behind the desk,
But what happens here?
Desk, desk, reflection,
no reflection!
No Arthur Tiller,
Because, Mr, Tiller, you were not behind the desk,
You were standing next to the desk,
This was the greatest illusion of all,
For five decades, the world believed
that Mr, Tiller was behind his desk
when, in fact, he was standing right in front of it,
- Hold on! Wait a minute!
Hold on, you think you're so smart,
If it happened like you said it did,
I was still, had to get all that money out of there,
surrounded by employees, and cops,
Which would of been impossible!
- Lincoln, would you be so good as to pull up
that wonderful article from the newspaper
about the town hero, Arthur Tiller?
Mr, Tiller, you really are a very smart man,
And I must admit,
that confused both myself, and Alex,
But then, she pointed out something very interesting,
Alex?
- According to the "Farmer's Almanac" that day,
September 19th, was unseasonably hot,
95 degrees,
So, as you can see in this photos
everyone is wearing short sleeves,
Everybody except you, Mr,Tiller,
So, here's what I think happened,
After the robbery, you asked to be alone,
after such a traumatic experience,
But you didn't really need to collect yourself,
You needed to strap the money to your body,
and cover it with your wool overcoat,
On a day when you could of just as easily
worn a pair of shorts,
Then, you casually walked out of the bank,
So that is how you, the infamous Uncle Donald,
stole $350,000 from the Merchant's National Bank
on September 19th, 1972,
This case is officially closed,

- You're not gonna wanna leave without this,
- Oh, thank you,
- Hey, you know that's funny, when this all started, Alex,
you were obsessed with figuring out who Lucky Louie was,
Now, I guess it doesn't really matter, huh?
- Look, I talked to the cops,
and they said the statutes of limitations have run out,
So, there's nothing they can do to Arthur Tiller,
- Well maybe he'll finally get a good night's sleep,
- It'd be nice to figure out who he was, though, you know?
- Oh, I think a smart young lady like Alex
knows who Lucky Louie is,
Tell 'em,
- It's not my place,
- I am,
- What?
- I owe you all an apology,
Please understand that I tried very hard
to live a life
that would erase this afternoon forever,
Pastor, I'm so sorry,
No doubt, this has been very shocking to you, especially,
- Oh, not in the least,
I've known for a very long time,
- How's that possible?
- Because Louie had the kindest eyes that I've seen
in my entire life,
There was no way I'd ever forget them,
The minute you stepped into our church,
I knew who you were,
- You never turned me in,
- Well, more and more,
some Christians think it's their place
to judge their fellow man, it's not,
Our place is to live and love by example,
I hope I've done that,
- Am I the only one who's mind is blown here?
No, wait, come on,
Seriously?
It all makes sense now, you know, honestly,
The things you did for us,
But what I can't figure out is, how three, relatively smart
former criminals- - I ain't that smart,
- Couldn't figure this out in 20 years,
But somehow you did,
- That's a good question,
- Well, I was telling Lincoln that I have this weird habit,
When I meet someone new,
I write a personality report on them,
And one day, I realized that my reports on Lucky Louie
were identical to my notes on my new friend Wilbert, here,
Then, at his house,
I noticed he didn't officially join
the police department until 1974,
which was a full two years after the robbery,
But what really sealed the deal was when
we went to Wilbert's house to get his cat,
and it lead me to his bank robbery room,
And on the walls he had one column
dedicated to Uncle Donald,
One dedicated to Huey, one dedicated to Dewey,
but no one column dedicated to Louie,
And that's because, well obviously,
he already knew who Louie was,
- I had every confidence in you, Alex,
I knew that you would free me from this awful secret,
And to be honest, it's been very hard,
And now, I have to tell the truth to everyone in this town,
They should all know what I did,
- Is that really necessary?
- After I was so hard on Arthur Tiller?
- Hold on, Wilbert, Arthur Tiller was the mastermind,
And he was the only one who profited from this,
- It doesn't make any difference,
I'm still a sinner,
and I really wanna get this off my chest,
I have to,
May I speak to the congregation tomorrow?
♪ Thank God my father's only faith ♪
♪ We will be true to thee till death ♪
- Well that was wonderful, the youth choir,
Today's sermon is going to be a bit of a departure,
But rest assured, it is rooted in scripture,
In his gospel, Luke reminds us that Jesus last mortal act
was to promise eternal salvation
to the criminal crucified on this right,
Wilbert?
- Thank you, Pastor Mimi,
It's nice to see many familiar faces here this morning,
Wouldn't it be nice
if churches were this full every Sunday?
I've learned a lot in my life,
thanks to my job,
But, most of the lessons were learned years ago,
when I was young and mad at the world,
I had no purpose, I had no faith,
I thought I was owed something,
So, it's no surprise when an opportunity presented itself
that I saw it as a chance to strike back
at a world that had ignored me,
It is with a very heavy heart today
that I must inform you all
that I was one of the men who robbed
the Merchant's National Bank in 1972,
That day, I hid under a mask,
And since then, I've hidden under my own shame,
I had no hope after the robbery,
And that is the exact moment
that God finds you,
And guides you, if you let him,
It was his hand that led me to the police department,
And allowed me to do my best to live a life
that would redeem the part of me that I lost,
And I have truly tried to do just that,
But the fact remains,
that I stand before you, a sinner,
And I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
And I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness,

and I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness,
- I stand before you a sinner,
and I ask for your forgiveness,
- Mr, Tiller, we don't want any trouble here,
- I've always been too scared to spend that money,
And I'm sick and tired of looking at it,
