0:00:02 > 0:00:05This is The Real Hustle: New Recruits.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07The hustlers are back. And this time,
0:00:07 > 0:00:11they've brought in two new faces to help them with their scams -
0:00:11 > 0:00:14new recruits Polly and Jazz.
0:00:14 > 0:00:20They'll join original hustlers Paul, Jess and Alex.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Working together as a team,
0:00:23 > 0:00:28they'll carry out scams that are more cunning and devious than ever before.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30On tonight's show...
0:00:30 > 0:00:33A mark is taken for the ride of his life.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- That's not what you were driving. - Eh?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Jazz pops his cork.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Worked up a sweat after that!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46And these guys have a terrible day out in the country.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48They've scammed us, boys, big time.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35The hustlers have invited celebrity friends to help them with their scams.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40They'll be thrown in at the deep end - no training, and no practice, just straight in.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Today's celebrity guest hustler is former EastEnders wheeler-dealer
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and King Of the Jungle, Joe Swash.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57I don't know what to expect today. Everything's been a little bit secretive.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01It's early, it's quite far from my house.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05It's in the middle of nowhere. It's quite beautiful as well, coming from the city.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10But I don't know what to expect. I'm hoping that it's nothing involving big members of the public,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14you know, that might attack me, or might chase me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Joe is about to get his hustle briefing
0:02:17 > 0:02:19from a shifty man in a field.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Hello.- Hello, mate.- I'm Joe. - Good to meet you.- Nice to see you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30- This isn't exactly the classic backdrop for a scam.- No, it ain't. It's quite beautiful, to be fair.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- It's very nice. We're not going to steal cows.- No livestock?
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- They're hard to shift, that's the problem. We're going to hijack something.- Hijack something?!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Sounds exciting!- We're con artists. We're not going to use shotguns.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- We'll get someone to give us the keys.- Just hand the keys over?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50But not only that, we're going to make sure that exactly what we want is what we get.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Next question is, what is it we're going to hijack?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- You want to find out?- I'm dying to find out!- Come on, I'll show you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Joe's going to get a taste of the criminal life in...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01The Hijack.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06For the first part of the hustle, Joe has been paired with Alex.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10They've driven to a local shopping precinct in the outskirts of London.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Their target is a TV sales and rental shop.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- That's the place. - Right, OK.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I'll let you go in first. - Shall I just go in now, yeah?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Yeah. Two minutes. I'll be right behind you.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Joe is being sent in first, all by himself.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Hello, how are you? Em, just, the telly in the front window - is that available?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43This is the mark.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47We've been let down by a company that was going to give us loads of tellies.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52We only need them for 24 hours. I've got a list of the sizes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Maybe...maybe 10? You've got 10 in stock?- Yeah. Not here.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- We've got them down our factory. Let me see what's down there. - All right, thank you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03So here's the story.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Joe's claiming to work for a film company that's been let down by a supplier.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12He needs to persuade the mark to hire him 10 flat-screen TVs for a shoot.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16See your best bet? Have you got a little while?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Can you pop down to Isleworth to see our man?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22No. We're in such a rush. We've got people running round everywhere...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Well the man that deals with it's in Isleworth.- OK. - Which isn't far.- Right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I've just come back. Took me five minutes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Joe seems to be struggling to persuade the mark.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Time for Alex to make his entrance.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- And the fella that's down at Isleworth...- He deals with it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- And how far is that from here? - Five minutes.- Five minutes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- How are you doing? Did you get one? - The one at the front, that's not available.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- The one at the front's not available.- Is it not?- And a lot of them, he hasn't got the boxes.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56OK, well we need... Did my colleague explain to you we're a bit stuck?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- If he pops down to Isleworth, which is where they are...- Right.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Yeah? The guy that deals with film rental is down there.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05For this scam to work,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Alex and Joe need to persuade the mark to give them TVs from this shop.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13They don't want to go off to a depot to deal with the press department,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15who will be much tougher to convince.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- I've got a van that's coming here. - It's five minutes away in a car. - Right, and they will have...
0:05:20 > 0:05:25So you could go down there, sort it out. When your man gets here, get him to go and collect them.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- And there's no way you can get them here?- It's five minutes away, man.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- But I've booked... If I keep changing lorries around...- I'm sorry... - If I keep reorganising...
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- I'm trying to save you time... - I know, but I don't have the authority to reorganise the van.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43Do you see what I mean? That's my problem. That's my problem with my boss!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- What's the name of your company? - TRH Films.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- And have we dealt with you before? - I don't think so, no.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51He's not convinced.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55But they're about to face a potentially catastrophic problem.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I don't know. I don't live too far from here. I live about...
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- half an hour, 40 minutes from here. - What, in Chiswick?- Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11If the mark recognises Joe as a TV star,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13his cover will be blown, and the scam will be over.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17You know what, I've got a lot of friends that live round here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I've probably, I probably when I was younger, I used to knock around here.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Yeah. You've probably chased me off a few times!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Likely story! But it seems to have worked.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Yeah. Soon as I've got payment, they'll be wrapping them up and putting them on the van.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Lovely!- Perfect.- They're 120 quid each.- Lovely, I've got a card.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43So now, they just have to pay 1,200 quid for the day's rental.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53All right there?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- The PIN number's rejected. - Which card have you got there?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Who's Alexis Conran? - That's the wrong card!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07I haven't... I didn't pick up the production card. I've picked up...
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Phone him, make sure...- No, no, no. I'll phone him.- Sorry about this.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Actually, Joe put the wrong PIN in on purpose.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17These guys have no intention of paying for the TVs.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Yeah, Susie? Listen, we've got the tellies.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Alex pretends to phone his boss for advice.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29She can pay you cash before a television steps off the van.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I know, I appreciate that. What I would suggest is, if you come with us...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38No, we're not... No, we can't do that.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- Listen, you're two guys that come in off the street asking for 10 televisions...- I appreciate that.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I am not going to do anything till I've got paid. - I absolutely appreciate that.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- But they're not going to leave your sight, at all. - They all say that.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I'm not saying you are!- You're going to be exactly next to them.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59This is...I'm doing my best here to try and make it work.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02How am I going to suddenly magic somebody out of the air?
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Who's coming - who's bringing the tellies?- Could you...- Can't we give him an extra score...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Could you come with us? You?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You'd have to pay me a lot of money.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- I'll pay you...- How much would it cost to have you for the next...?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19We'll pay you for the day. And we'll get you a cab back.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- 200 quid, for you. Agreed. - Lovely.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Bingo. The offer is too good to refuse.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Thank you, mate.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33- Nice one.- Sweet.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Alex and Joe leave behind the drop-off address, and head off.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The booked delivery truck will be turning up shortly.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48But in the meantime, the mark has spotted something out of place in the shop.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53It's a laptop bag, seemingly left behind by Alex. How careless of him(!)
0:08:53 > 0:08:57The mark phones a contact number on the bag, using a hands-free set.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Half an hour later, a truck turns up to pick up all those TVs.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So what are the hustlers up to?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The TVs are in a genuine delivery truck,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17operated by a genuine delivery company.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22And they're being looked after by a very suspicious mark from the TV rental shop.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29One thing's for sure - he won't let anyone else get their hands on the TVs
0:09:29 > 0:09:32until he's seen cold, hard cash.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- At least, that's what- he- thinks!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- You didn't see the sign?- Do you have glasses? Did you not see that I was coming out?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57When hustlers go out, they don't bring money - they bring prop bets.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Challenges designed to win or lose a drink.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03But a proposition bet only has one rule
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and that's that the hustler always wins.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14New boy Jazz is out on the town and he needs another drink.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19What we've got here is...bottle, cork and a 5p piece.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24What I'm going to do is put the 5p in the bottle...
0:10:24 > 0:10:30the cork in the top. Just clean it so you can see it all.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34What you have to do is get the 5p out before the cork.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- So the 5p out before the cork? - The 5p out before the cork.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39It sounds impossible.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44The challenge is to get the 5p piece out of the bottle before the cork.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Can it really be done?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51There's no way you can get the 5p out without the cork.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- There is a way.- There is a way. - There is a way.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's not a trick bottle. A normal bottle.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- The only thing I can think of is smashing the bottle, but that's not OK.- No.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Health and safety issues with that. - Just take the cork out?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- No, because the cork will come out first.- Stumped.- That's stumped us.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Giving up?- Yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15If I can do it, you'll buy me a drink, both of you, yeah?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Yes. - Yes, yes? OK. Good, good.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- All right. So what we do is, you have to get the cork in first. - Why didn't we think of that?
0:11:23 > 0:11:28It's a tricky one, but when it works, it's very good.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30God! Worked up a sweat after that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33OK. So now...
0:11:33 > 0:11:355p first before the cork.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Now what we have to do is get the cork out.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Use this beautiful white silk hankie.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Put it in.- I will be very impressed.- If we can get this out?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- All right. Well, I'll give it a go. - Especially with the napkin.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Here we go.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- And the cork comes out.- Well done.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Easy when you know how.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09First, Jazz pushes the cork into the bottle.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- He can then shake out the 5p coin. - 5p first before the cork.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17And that handkerchief wasn't just there to mop his brow.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22He uses it to snag the cork inside the bottle.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24A firm tug and pop. One free drink.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Make it a wine.- Wine?- Yeah? Perfect.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Jess is sitting on her own in a country pub.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Not like her to be short of male attention
0:12:41 > 0:12:43and having to buy her own drinks.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Actually, she's here waiting for this guy - the mark,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51clutching a big wedge of money.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Jess is going to take him for the test drive.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Hello. Hi, I'm Susie. You all right, love? Nice to meet you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07The mark's made an appointment to see a classic car Jess is selling.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Being the law-abiding citizen she is,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13she first makes sure that his licence is in order.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I need to check your points. How many you got?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17None? Well done.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Formalities out of the way, it's time to look at the car.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- There it is under a rain cover.- Can you give me a hand to take this off?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39The 1971 MGB sports car is in excellent nick.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Thank you. If you want to shove that just in the back there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Finally, the test drive.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I took someone on a little drive earlier and we just...
0:13:55 > 0:13:59The mark's chomping at the bit to take this little beauty for a spin.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06I've only had it since last summer. My boyfriend bought it for me.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10So I've driven it, you know, bits and bobs, but not a lot.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32The test drive is over and everything seems to have gone well.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Still worried about the rain, Jess insists on putting the canvas cover back on the car.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Can you help me with this cover again?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Just cos I don't know what the weather's like in Scotland.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And until it's sold, I just want to make sure it's...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It stays perfect.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Finally, they go back inside to discuss the deal.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- How was that? Was that OK?- Yeah. - Right, I've got to go.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20There's the keys. I've got all this paperwork for you now.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22This is the MoT certificate and service history.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25This is everything you could possibly need to know about the car.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31That's everything that's happened in the past, all papers. Anything to do with this car is in this folder.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Jess has certainly got all her paperwork in order.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36The mark can rest assured the car's been well looked after.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Just one thing left to do.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- And that's pay for it.- You've got, like, a whole year on that.- Great.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Em, that's a little invoice. Are you going to pay now?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52There goes that wedge of cash.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Right. Are you going to count this out in front of me, so I don't have to do it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03The mark's paying £1,800, and at that price,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07the vintage sports car is an absolute steal.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11This is good. I hate counting money - especially with these nails!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Are you happy with everything? Have you got any questions?
0:16:14 > 0:16:19If there's anything you need to know, just give me a ring. I'll pop that in there for you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Your keys.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25OK? I'm going to shoot. is everything OK, yeah?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28OK, have a great day, boys. Any problems, just give me a call, yeah?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- See you later.- See you later. - Oh, I've got to go out this way.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38He's got the keys, and all the paperwork.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Of course, he wants to take another look at that beautiful classic car.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16In a matter of minutes, the car is turned from a well-preserved classic
0:17:16 > 0:17:18into a crappy old rust bucket.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23So, what really happened?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30There wasn't one car, but two. Both with the same plates.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Once the hustlers had found the old banger,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- they bought an identical car in good nick.- Wow.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- It's an MG?- It's the same make. - Yeah?- Brilliant.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Back in a minute.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44It was no accident that there were traffic cones in the car park.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It looks like they've reserved me a spot.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49They'd been left to make sure the spaces around the car
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- were kept clear.- Perfect.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Are you going to count this out in front of me, so I don't have to do it?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And Jess wasn't working alone.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03There were plenty of hustlers at work here today.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Paul got into the hustle van, and as soon as the mark was distracted with the paperwork,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11he pulled the van in front of the window, blocking the view.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16The lemon was in the car-park the whole time.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Alex and Jazz just pushed it into place next to the sports car.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Your keys.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35And that rain cover meant the mark wasn't able to tell the difference
0:18:35 > 0:18:37until it was too late.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm going to shoot. Is everything OK, yeah? OK. Have a great day, boys.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47The two vehicles drove off in perfect synchronisation,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51making the switch completely invisible from inside the pub.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57And off they drove, with the sports car and the money,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00stopping only to pick Jess up round the back.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12This is a classic bait-and-switch scam.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15The mark thinks they're buying a good car, but drive home a lemon.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19We've made the differences between the two cars immediately obvious.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21But when this scam happens for real,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24you may not know that the car you now own
0:19:24 > 0:19:27is not the one you took for a test drive.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31It may be unsafe to drive, and you could end up paying with your life.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Don't let the seller leave
0:19:33 > 0:19:36until you've taken full possession of whatever you're buying.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40And don't carry out the transaction in some random pub in the middle of nowhere.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Instead, go to the seller's home or place of business.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47That way, if there's a problem, you know where to find them.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Earlier today, actor Joe Swash helped persuade a TV rental shop
0:19:58 > 0:20:02to hire out ten flat-screen TVs for a film shoot.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We only need these... We've been let down from another company
0:20:05 > 0:20:08that was going to give us loads of tellies.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11We only need them for 24 hours.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14When the card payment failed, they agreed to pay cash on delivery.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19She can pay you cash before a television steps off the van.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26The TVs were loaded onto a truck from a genuine delivery firm, booked for a pick-up over the phone.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32The suspicious mark is now riding along with the TVs to the film location in...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34The Hijack: Part Two.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42They arrive at the driveway to the film location.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- But it seems to be blocked... - Are you blind?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46What the hell do you think you're doing?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51..by two cars, two squabbling women, and two yappy little dogs.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- Do you have glasses? Did you not see that I was coming out? - What were you doing there?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- The rule is you wait... - Do you know the Highway Code?
0:21:00 > 0:21:05In fact, this whole scene has been staged for the truck's benefit.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09The hustlers knew exactly when they'd be arriving,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12thanks to that laptop bag left behind by Alex.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18It actually contains a smart phone, with a tracking app enabled.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Paul watched their progress on a laptop,
0:21:20 > 0:21:24and signalled the others as soon as they were arriving.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They'll be here soon.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31The two cars were then pushed into place,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and a broken headlamp added the finishing touch.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42So now, they're at the right delivery address, but can't get up the drive.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Luckily, there's a country gent on hand to help the driver with a diversion.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Straight up here, first left, and left again.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52All right. Cheers, guys, sorry about that.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Look, it's all right, we've got insurance!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- As soon as they're out of sight... - My mother warned me about people like you!- Really?- Shut up!
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Jazz legs it to the next part of the scam. He's only got moments to get there and change.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08As planned, the driver is now forced to take a back route
0:22:08 > 0:22:11down a country lane, through the middle of fields.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18This is the back road into the location.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21But the path through the fields is so narrow
0:22:21 > 0:22:24the driver decides to reverse down it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28He's faced with a very disturbing sight in his mirrors.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32The road is blocked by three men in biohazard suits.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36And one latecomer, Jazz, who's made it just in time.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45The drivers and the TV shop employee get out.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49All right? Stand here, guys. Over here.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53You didn't see the sign?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56There's no sign down there? Are you sure?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00There was a sign, conveniently obscured by a fence.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Do you want to stop spraying? These guys don't have any breath equipment.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Along with the hustlers is Joe.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14He's also wearing a mask, so the mark doesn't recognise him.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Do you know what foot-and-mouth is?- Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You've put your foot in your mouth here. Come on.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23You'll have to clean your shoes and your tyres before we let you out of here.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24All right, follow me.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Clean these tyres, will you?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33They've got no choice but to follow Paul's order.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Step inside.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Very sorry - this'll take about half an hour.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46We're going to have to drive it backwards for you anyway through a tyre wash.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51What kind of kit is in here? What is it? Well, it does to me.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Though this guy still refuses to let the truck out of his sight.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I need you in here, or I'll have to call the police.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01We'll be here till two in the morning. It's up to you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Then fair enough. OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Are you guys happy with that?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Well, he's only going to drive it backwards to there, sir.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- He'll put a tyre wash on the ground.- OK.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- OK, all right. - Paul's talked him round.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Do you want to wash your own shoes?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I can have these washed for you, or you can wash them yourself.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23You want us to do it? All right, fair enough.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26OK, can you drop those in there for me, please?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Right, you won't get those mixed up? And those as well.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Paul leaves with their shoes,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34pretending to talk to his colleagues on the way.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36OK, you want to take these?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40In fact, it's the signal for Jazz to do a runner.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44And for Alex and Joe to get into the van.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Before the marks know what's happened,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58the hustlers, the van and the ten TVs are gone.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Get on the old bill, man.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38They've scammed us, boy - big time.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50The marks are left standing in a field, shoeless and clueless.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I came haring out the tent when I heard it go.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59And saw it going, and I came back to the guys, I said, "We've been scammed."
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- And I said to you, "Get your keys and lock it."- Yeah, I know. Yeah.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05He said, "No, they've got to move it anyway."
0:26:05 > 0:26:10I was suspicious when they came in the shop. I hate thieves, I just hate thieves.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12You know, there's no need for them.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I just hate thieves.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17The most stressful moment for me was going into the shop.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21He didn't seem like the most... gullible fella in the world.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25He wanted to know where we were taking them, what we were taking them for.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27So I had to think on my feet a bit.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30There's always an element of trust in human beings.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35So, as long as that's there, people are always going to take advantage of that.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38This scam happens so fast that the marks never get a chance
0:26:38 > 0:26:41to stop and really think about what's going on.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44A last-minute order from a film crew seems reasonable,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and when faced with officials in biohazard suits,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49most people are going to do what they're told.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51People in biohazard suits, policemen,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55council officials in uniform - they're authority figures.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58But it doesn't stop us from challenging them,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02and saying, "OK, fine. I see what you're saying, but show me some ID."
0:27:02 > 0:27:06And if you're uncertain, challenge that ID every single time.
