Apprehend Me If You're Able is a case featured in Criminal Case as the thirty-ninth case of Mysteries of the Past (Season 4) and the two-hundred tenth case overall. It takes place in the Wolf Street district of Concordia.

Plot

After tracking the counterfeiter to an underground lodge at 247 Baker Street, Maddie and the player went to the address and found the body of Jade Carnegie, lodger and counterfeiter, shot in the neck.

Mid-investigation, Isaac said that Jade was spotted leaving Diego's apartment, forcing the team to flag him as a suspect. Later, a drunk Diego blabbed about a prank he pulled on Isaac's birthday. The team then found out that Jade had been using a printing plate Diego had made in the past to perform the counterfeits. The team eventually gathered enough evidence to arrest currency exchange employee Gail Harper for the murder.

Gail quickly admitted to the crime after unsuccessfully denying the accusations. She had joined Jade's counterfeiting activities out of greed and in order to be richer. When Jade started paying others with the forged bills, Gail feared being exposed as a criminal, prompting her to shoot Jade dead with a handgun. Judge Lawson sentenced Gail to 20 years in jail. Afterwards, Chief Wright said that the Bank of Concordia would examine their bills for Diego's insignia (which he had placed on the plate) to distinguish the counterfeits.

After the trial, Lady Highmore asked Maddie and the player to confirm some rumors she had heard in Wolf Park about possible solutions to the crisis. There, they found a film roll which (per Charlie) showed that Leopold Rochester would sell security bonds of his growing and promising Concordia Telephone Company, guaranteeing investors future profits.

Meanwhile, Evie and the player investigated Diego's affairs to find evidence that would exonerate him of any criminal activity. After finding an original painting of Maddie and Charlie in his living room, they confirmed that Diego had let go of forgery in favor of his own art. To celebrate this, as well as the end of the financial panic, Chief Wright invited the team to the Ascroft horse races.
