Excellent condition
The final season of Hustle sees master con man Mickey Bricks Stone (Adrian Lester) and his team of highly skilled accomplices ( Robert Vaughn, Robert Glenister, Matt Di Angelo, Kelly Adams, Rob Jarvis) return for one last set of cons. As always theyll target Londons rich and greedy and, with their grifting skills better than ever, theyre ready to push themselves to the limit in the search for riches. With our regular crew returning along with some other familiar faces this final season promises to be one of the most explosive yet.
Basic premis of the series:
Each episode's plot focuses on a team of grifters who conduct the art of the "long con", often targeting a "mark" whose activities are immoral and/or illegal, or whose character retains a fundamental negative personality with others they dislike, or who they make suffer, while adhering to the credo that "you can't cheat an honest man".
Although con artists, the team display a moral, honourable code within their team, which include sometimes helping others who have been victims of their mark, often with anonymous financial compensation to them, and never stealing anything that doesn't belong to them, instead borrowing them for the con and then returning them afterwards. For each mark, the team focuses on background research to uncover any issues they may face, as well as a weakness in the mark that they can exploit, such as a passion for something, or an issue they are facing. Once they have a plan, the team set up a scenario, employ a "convincer" to rope in their mark, and then hit them with the sting in which they take them for a sizeable amount of cash, within the tens of thousands, before conducting a "blow-off" to ensure the mark will not come after them, either because they won't if they have to admit to conducting something illegal, or because the team has convinced them it will be impossible to do so
