Hustle - Season 8 Episode 5 - Property Tycoon Con

Albert decides to pay a nostalgic visit to an old haunt only to find out that it's been pulled down by a ruthless property tycoon and former 80's game show host, Dale Ridley (played by Mark Williams), a man who pays backhanders to close deals and uses rookie staff as scapegoats to avoid charges.

The gang decides to make him pay and use his past as a benchmark for the con. Posing as international businessmen, the team convince Dale they are purchasing the television studios that fired him for his greed in his showbiz heyday.

Since Dale has always hated the studio for that, he is eager to take advantage of what looks to be a worthy deal. A spanner, however, is thrown into the works with the unexpected arrival of Ash's 11-year-old godson, Alfie (Sammy Williams), who wants to be part of the con.

He winds up alerting the mark that something fishy is going on and when the crew realize this they have to figure out a new plan to take his money, especially with how close they've come to getting it.
