| 19 :04x01 - As One Flew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest, One Flew In (May/03/2007) | Danny steps up to be leader, as the gang head to LA in an attempt to sell the Hollywood sign.
With Mickey heading to Australia to help pull off a major con, Danny feels it's time for him to take the lead. To make his mark, he comes up with an ambitious plan to sell the Hollywood sign to Texan movie memorabilia fanatic Anthony Westley (Robert Wagner).
Once in LA, Danny convinces Westley that the sign is being put up for sale to be replaced with a brand new one.
Westley's willing to pay big money to get his hands on the sign and will stop at nothing to ensure he wins the bid. But how will the gang get the cash if they can't deliver the sign itself?

| 20 :04x02 - Signing Up to Wealth (May/10/2007) | Porn-baron Dickie Brennan is desperate to own a winning racehorse. So that's what he thinks he's getting when he swoops in to buy Cindy's Fortune, a horse said to be a classic winner in the making. To rope the mark, Albert poses as a syndicate member poised to get his hands on this flying machine.
Meanwhile there's a young man shadowing the gang. Billy, a street kid and short-con artist wants in. He knows about all the great con artists and is convinced Danny Blue's the only man who can teach him about the long con.
Unfortunately for Billy, Danny's adamant that the perfect addition to the team is a sexy female. Billy is eager to please, but will his eagerness jeopardise their latest con in the meantime? | | | |
| 21 :04x03 - Getting Even (May/17/2007) | A ruthless nursing home owner, Veronica Powell, has roped Eddie into a contract that'll cost him fifty grand to get out of - otherwise, his father loses his house and everything he's worked for.
Veronica is a woman who likes robbing old people and stealing from charities - so she's more than a mark for the gang.
This con needs to be cleverer than usual, and Billy, still awestruck in the presence of Danny, has full confidence in their leader - even though the others don't share this enthusiasm.
After a sleepless night Danny finally comes up with a plan. But will it work, and just how much will Veronica pay when she thinks she's in for a cellar full of vintage wine? | Director: Lee MacIntosh Writer: Tony Jordan | | | |
| 22 :04x04 - A Designer's Paradise (May/24/2007) | Charity-robbing Clarissa has a passion for fashion. She buys all the latest trends and is desperate to get her hands on the most exclusive designer items. The Hustle gang decides that the way to con this woman is to make her want what she can't have. It's time to give her the 'Emperor's New Clothes.'
It may be more fairy-tale than con, but the same rules still apply: create the hype and let the mark do all the chasing.
And so begins a cat and mouse game in which Clarissa believes she is hot on the tails of celebrated new designer, Lorde. He's urban, he's cool - he's Billy in disguise, but will she want to invest in this bright young thing?

| 23 :04x05 - Conning the Artists (May/31/2007) | The team are on a post-con high after successfully liberating a greedy Japanese man of his cash with the 'currency slide'.
Keen to ride the crest of a wave and assert his roping credentials, Billy quickly finds another victim for the same con. Though they rarely do the same con twice in a row, particularly when the exchange takes place in Eddie's Bar, Billy's picked a good mark.
Before the mark can arrive, Eddie's called away and a young Japanese man named Shiro appears in the bar. He tells them that his father has been conned by the gang and it's time for revenge.
He reveals that Eddie is being held hostage and one of them must die. But this will be no ordinary death, for Shiro has bought five pieces of puffer fish which is deadly when prepared incorrectly. The gang must play Russian Roulette with Sushi... | | | |
| 24 :04x06 - Big Daddy Calling (Jun/07/2007) | Albert's on holiday in Vegas, trying as hard as possible to keep a low profile in a town built for gamblers. But he hadn't reckoned on Johnny Maranzano - the son of the late mafia boss Frank Maranzano, whose casino Albert has ripped off and been banned from in the past.
Johnny's the kind of man to hold a grudge, and when he breaks Albert's fingers, Stacie, Danny, Ash and Billy decide to pay a visit to Albert's attackers and seek revenge.
This time, the gang are dealing with the mafia and they have their own version of justice. Even if the grifters get the money out of the casino and out of Vegas, with the mafia on their tails it's going to be a tough road-trip back to London. If they make it that far... | | | |
