# Catch Me If You Can: Power Through Process Knowledge
The FBI interrogation room in *Catch Me If You Can* (2002) is a stage of psychological warfare. Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), the charismatic conman turned FBI consultant, sits across from agents who have spent months tracking him down. His calm demeanor masks the chaos of his past: a decade of financial fraud, forged identities, and a $2.5 million bank heist. But as he recounts his exploits, his true weapon becomes clear—not a gun, not a disguise, but *knowledge*. ‘Observation and research — the big difference between the hard-nosed criminal and the super con man,’ he says, explaining how he mastered the systems he exploited. The scene is a masterclass in how understanding processes can grant power, not just over others, but over the very systems that govern our world.
