Hustle - Series 5 Episode 2 - New Recruits for the Gang

Emma and Sean Kennedy have just become the new team members in Mickey's new crew and are shown what a long con often involves.

New marks, Carlton Wood and Harry Fielding, have stolen a security system through their patent company, and driven its inventor to commit suicide.

Mickey sends Sean to gather information on the marks so as to find a way in, though that nearly ends badly (Sean ends up passing out drunk twice).

The group soon learns that the pair need a PR gimmick to sell their stolen system, so Mickey devises a unique scheme.

After trying to sell off an "idea" to the marks (that they soon steal), they have to overcome the new system after it is attached to a valuable painting, but when Ash reveals the system, called "Spider's Web", was cleverly designed and cannot be beaten, Mickey must come up with a way of still making the pair of marks suffer and pay up.
