Hustle - Season 5 Episode 1 - Return of Mickey Bricks

Mickey has returned to London after narrowly avoiding the Australian police (though losing all the money he made, "selling" the Sydney Opera House, in the process). When he does, he finds his crew has separated thanks to the credit crunch; even Eddie has lost his bar and now has to work at a restaurant.

After speaking to his mentor Albert (who is in prison after being caught), he learns of a mark to help him pass the time: Ruthless, and corrupt property developer, Sara Naismith (Kelly Adams), who's in the city looking to make some easy money with her assistant, Aaron (Matt Di Angelo).

After recruiting Ash, who has been doing short cons (Danny and Stacey are still away in America), the pair pose as city traders, offering the mark her chance to join what appears to be insider dealings on the stock exchange, but the con soon starts to unravel for the pair when they find out something is not right.

Meanwhile, a ruthless gangster is on the hunt for two grifters who conned him a while back.
