Hustle - Season 1 Episode 6 - (Finale)

The stress of grifting has reached a high point for the team, so Mickey decides they should do one more con before going on vacation.

The crew picks a greedy fat-cat as their next mark; a recently resigned CEO of a major utility company (David Haig) from where, after performing some seriously bad mismanagement, he left with a golden handshake of £500,000 (much to the annoyance of the workers).

For the team, they perform a con that uses his two secret weaknesses he hides from his wife – prostitutes and gambling on horses – "the Wire", with the team luring him in with promises they have a guaranteed way of making serious money gambling on the horse races.

But unbeknown to the crew, a previous mark who seeks getting payback on them, after they falsely sold him the London Eye, is on their tail and is soon eager to steal whatever they make out of this score.
