Synopsis:
Set under the grey skies of London, Hustle follows the exploits of a group of grifters (played by Adrian Lester, Robert Vaughn, Robert Glenister, Matt D'Angelo, Kelly Adams, Marc Warren and Jaime Murray).

His team is diverse, ranging from old hand Albert Stroller, to the alluring Stacie Monroe, and the jack-of-all-trades Ashley "3 Socks" Morgan.

Benny had a long history with the Hustle gang, having helped Mickey out of a sticky situation many years ago and nearly taking Ash's place in the group. But it looks like Benny's days of the long con aren't actually over as it becomes clear that Benny is very much alive. Benny reveals he had to fake his own death as he had run up a large debt with a violent gangster called Danush, nicknamed 'The Dentist' on account of his favourite hobby of extracting teeth from those who don't pay up. The team helps out an old grifter and formulate a plan when they find out Danush is having trouble with his cigarette supplier... 5 "The Fall of Railton FC" Colin Teague Chris Lang 11 February 2011 When Ash finds out that the local football club where he grew up has gone bust and closed down, he suggests the Hustle gang should tackle the greed that has taken over the great game. Railton FC fell at the hands of Don Coleman, a ruthless football agent who is prepared to step over anyone who gets in the way of him making money. Coleman pulled a clever trick on the football club using the small print in a talented young player's contract. As a result, the club didn't get a transfer fee when the player left, leaving it in piles of debt it couldn't pay off. Sean poses as Brandon Casey, a star striker from Canada looking to relocate to England, with Ash acting as his manager. The pair gain Coleman's trust by involving him in a transfer deal which will make him some serious cash before Mickey, who plays the role of an investment facilitator, goes to reel him in. When Ash has an accident and develops a rare condition that means he can't lie, it looks like it won't just be the con that's over but Ash's days as a grifter as well. Can Mickey, Albert, Sean and Emma convince the seemingly untouchable Coleman to score an own goal, or will they be shown a red card? 6 "The Delivery" Colin Teague Tony Jordan 18 February 2011 After an all-night card session, the team arrive at Eddie's bar to find they've received an unusual delivery. When the gang look inside the box, they're surprised to find Cool Hand Cooper - a well-known character in the grifting world. It soon becomes apparent that he posted himself to the bar as part of an elaborate prison break and he is now in grave trouble. Cooper used to be the best safe-cracker in the game. But he got himself into a spot of bother a decade ago when he stole some diamonds and he has been serving a long prison sentence ever since. However, just before he was thrown into the slammer, he managed to bury the jewels and now he needs the team's help to find them. Cooper is desperate to unearth the sparklers after discovering that they belong to well-known Mafia family the Baccinis. He knows that if he doesn't return the stones to their rightful owner soon, he could end up swimming with the fishes... Mickey also knows that people shouldn't get involved with the Mafia unless they like danger. But, when Eddie's bar is set on fire, he realises that he doesn't have a choice and is forced to help Cooper. Just when things look like they couldn't get any worse, the crew discover the somewhat inconvenient burial place of the diamonds. As the team start to set their plan into action, Albert has an unexpected visitor from his past who has some news that will change his life forever... Series 7 (2011) 1 "As Good as it Gets" John McKay Tony Jordan 7 January 2011 Albert has gotten three new marks lined up for the team to work on - arrogant aristocrat, Viscount Manley; greedy and corrupt MP, Jeremy Garret; and shady and immoral judge, Stanley Mead. The group of hustlers can't decide on which mark to go after and so take a vote on which one to do. Meanwhile, as they do, Eddie is looking after his niece who's attending a meeting for a potential dream job as a model, only to find her dream's dashed by the owner of the fashion agency she went through. Eddie is upset about this, not only for his niece losing out on her dream opportunity, but also because it was all part of an elaborate con. The team decide to deal with the agent first, a former fashion model in their earlier days, now striving to work with the big clients instead of the small fry, especially as her former partner has set up their own agency and gotten a contract for a big fashion show. The team offer her that chance, and lure her into the "Spanish Prisoner" con, but the mark is a very tricky woman who's quite the pennypincher. But the real challenge faced by the team, is rather more elaborate... 2 "Old Sparks Come New" John McKay Chris Lang 14 January 2011 The Hustle gang are near to closing a small con in a café until Joe Ryan - an old flame of Emma's - turns up unexpectedly and blows their cover. Intrigued to see what he's been up to since the pair last met (they'd been a couple in their youth), Emma arranges to meet him for a glass of wine. She learn's that Joe's life had been great, a fine house, a great job, a lovely son, what could possibly spoil it? Well for Joe - it was losing his wife. In an attempt to cope with his grief he found himself in debt and took out a loan to cover it from a company called Do$h$You, not checking the small print about their interest rates - they're extremely high, immoral, and unjust, but sadly within the letter of the law; for Joe he's left with the prospect of losing his house as a result of falling behind on his repayments. Emma believes the team should go after the owner, who's base of operation is in Birmingham, Joe's hometown. While Albert stays behind in London as the base man, the others work on finding a way in. Their mark is eager to rise in class, so they offer her something to suit the bill - a title and a castle - the elaborate "Eiffel Tower" con. But the group have to work fast and there are problems to face - one, Emma starts to have renewed feelings for Joe, and two, the mark does something unexpected, that Mickey has to come up with something quickly to deal with it. Tough times indeed.... 3 "Clearance From A Deal" Roger Goldby James Payne 21 January 2011 Mickey and Albert are paying a visit to the first Wendell Casino to open in Britain. The Wendell family have a history of running casinos for generations, and being notorious for their strict policy on cheaters and grifters, always vowing to take down anyone who tries to con them. The no-nonsense family loathes them so badly, they add their photos to their very own wall of shame once they've been caught, to ensure their days of dishonesty are over. Albert, though, is eager to get one photo back - that of his great-grandfather, who got caught supposedly cheating, but claimed he was innocent. The pair get the team to work on a plan to bring down the current Wendall family member, who sadly, knows them all very well. They decide to take advantage of his desire to get back a piece of his family's legacy, the Wendell Wheel. But with someone who knows grifting too well, Mickey may be playing a dangerous game, one that could see the team, grift no more... Guest starring Michael Brandon. 4 "Benny's Funeral" Roger Goldby Chris Bucknall 28 January 2011 Albert, Mickey, Ash, Sean and Emma are paying their respects to one of their own, whose funeral they are attending - fellow grifter, Benny. Benny had quite a history with the gang, particularly Mickey whom he had helped out of a sticky situation many years ago and nearly took Ash's place in the group. However, Ash finds that Benny isn't exactly dead as it seems, when he runs into him. Benny reveals that his days of grifting have gone, after one too many strokes of bad luck. He soon went onto spread-betting, and borrowed money from an Iranian gangster called Danush, a violent man, nicknamed 'The Dentist' on account of his favourite hobby of extracting teeth from those who don't pay up; Benny had to fake his death after running up a high debt with the man. When the rest of the team finds out, they agree to help Benny out, by conning Danush. But he's a tricky person to find a way in on, until they learn that he's having trouble finding a replacement supplier for smuggled cigarettes. The team devise a good scheme to sting Danush on, but on the day the exchange occurs, something unexpected and bad happens, something Mickey was not expecting - a double-cross... 5 "The Fall of Railton FC" Colin Teague Chris Lang 11 February 2011 When Ash finds out that the local football club where he grew up has gone bust and is set to be closed down, he suggests the Hustle gang should tackle the greed that has taken over the great game. Railton FC fell at the hands of Don Coleman, a ruthless football agent who is prepared to step over anyone who gets in the way of him making money. Coleman pulled a clever trick on the football club using the small print in a talented young player's contract. As a result, the club didn't get a transfer fee when the player left, leaving it in piles of debt it couldn't pay off. The team begin with Sean posing as Brandon Casey, a star striker from Canada looking to relocate to England, with Ash acting as his manager. The pair gain Coleman's trust by involving him in a transfer deal which will make him some serious cash before Mickey, who plays the role of an investment facilitator, goes to reel him in on the true con; an 'investment' opportunity. When Ash has an accident, however, and develops a rare condition that means he can't lie, even when he is directly questioned, it looks like it won't just be the con that's over but Ash's days as a grifter as well. The group tries to rework the con as best they can, but when the mark gives Ash a direct question, it could all be over.... 6 "The Delivery" Colin Teague Tony
