Hustle - Season 7 Episode 4 - Double Cross Drama

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 on to spread-betting, and borrowed money from an Iranian gangster called Danush, a violent man, nicknamed 'The Dentist' on account of his favorite 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 devises 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.
