0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the most successful scam show of all time.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08A hit in 45 countries around the world.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14The real hustlers have stolen cars.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Bye!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It's perfectly safe there.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Burgled houses.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Picked,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28switched,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and ditched.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- A tenner for the whole lot! - They've carried out close to 500 scams
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and stolen over £1,000,000.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And now, they're back for an eleventh series.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45With new recruits...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Their job?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50To expose the tricks of the criminals' trade,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53so that you don't get scammed.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00On tonight's show, it's all Greek to one mark,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03as he's left thousands of pounds out of pocket.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04I can't take any more of it!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Jess turns water into gin.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I love a gin-and-tonic.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11You're a very honest man.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12And this mark's good deed,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15leaves him with a very bad taste in his mouth.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16I feel sad.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59The hustlers have invited celebrity friends
0:01:59 > 0:02:02to see if they can cut it as con artists.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04But they'll have no clue what the scam is about
0:02:04 > 0:02:09and there are no dress rehearsals. So this is sink or swim.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Today's guest hustler is star of Shameless
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and Eastenders, Jody Latham.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I'd like to think that I've got what it takes to be a good hustler.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32So we'll see. People who hustle for a living are real hustlers.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34They must be crazy - it's so nerve-racking.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Every day not knowing what's going to happen.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It's a scary life.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Feel like the new member of Ocean's Twelve! It's great.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Argh!
0:02:46 > 0:02:52Jody has been sent to some disused wasteland to meet a man about to scam.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- Welcome to The Real Hustle. What do you think?- Scary.- It's quite scary.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Got a couple of questions for you, quite important.- OK.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- First one is do you play poker?- A little.- Well, now you play a lot.- OK.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09The other question is how do you think you can take someone for a lot of money
0:03:09 > 0:03:11by letting them win a lot more?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- I've got no idea!- We're going to let someone win thousands.- Are we?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- But you're the secret.- OK.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20All right? I'll teach you everything you need to know.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Sounds good.- Come on, I'll give you a few lessons on poker.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Usually have to start playing for as much money as you have
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- and I'll be hoping to take that from you.- OK!- This is The Mad Greek.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's weekday lunchtime in this bar.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I think these are the two guys.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39These guys are both regular poker players, but this guy
0:03:39 > 0:03:45in particular is carrying lots of cash, making him the mark.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Good to meet you, how are you? Have a seat. Stuart, nice to meet you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Have a seat.- Lee, how are you doing? You all right?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Jody's first role is to put the mark at ease and draw him into the scam.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I told you about the game tonight and you boys are up for that?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Nick is coming over just to say hello and meet you,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08he's the guy that runs the game.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10He's a bit mental, he bets on anything.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13He'll bet on two flies landing on sugar, I'm serious.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16He's that guy. But he throws it around, he can afford it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- It's a fun night if you're up for it.- Yeah.- Good.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24And here's the man himself, poker organiser Nick the mad Greek,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27in a flashy new Merc.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Yeah, that's a new car. He got a new car three months ago.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- He's nuts, this guy. - You've met him once.- Briefly.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- I'll bet you he doesn't remember you.- Do you reckon? How much?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39£1.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's actually Alex in his Saturday Night Fever disco suit.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49He's a gambler who likes expensive cars and even more expensive women.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Nick, this is Jim. - Have we met before?- Yeah.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- See, I nearly lost a pound! - This is Susie, everybody.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05That will be Jess, playing Nick the Greek's long-suffering girlfriend.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11- I said there were spaces tonight. You wanted to do the game tonight. - Fine, you bring money, you can play.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- Has he told you, we bet on anything? - I bet on something, he bets on anything.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I bet, because I'm Greek, you know? We bet on things.
0:05:20 > 0:05:26- I tell you what, the guy there on the phone.- The hoodie?- Yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- The bet is which way he goes when he finishes his phonecall. - The poker's not for hours,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35but Alex is already gambling. He wants to bet on which a stranger will walk down the road.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Everything you have in your pocket. - Anything I've got in my pocket?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- There's a couple of hundred there. - How much you got?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I've got you covered. No, no, I'll cover you.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51HE SPEAKS IN GREEK
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- I'm not going to lose it - take it off!- No!- Nah, come on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- You know I'm good for my word. Come on, take it off.- Hang on!
0:06:00 > 0:06:02This is from her parents or something.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05The Greek shows he's completely barking
0:06:05 > 0:06:08by using Jess' priceless family heirloom to cover his £500 bet.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13OK, we're covered. All right, we're covered. We shake.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- What are you looking for? It's real! - If I had a fake necklace...
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- I know that thing around your neck is fake.- Ah, he has to go that way. That way.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28So, if the guy in the hoodie goes left, then Paul wins the bet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32If he goes right, Alex makes £500.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Are you sure you don't want any action?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The mark's staying out of this bet.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Just as well, as that random stranger is really Jazz.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44He's actually on the phone to Jess listening in
0:06:44 > 0:06:48to the conversation in the pub and waiting for his moment to walk away.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Whoa, hold on, there he goes.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Turn you- BLEEP.- Turn.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Wait, wait, wait. Which way?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, mamma mia!
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Mamma Mia!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It's a bet!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12The whole scene was staged to convince the mark
0:07:12 > 0:07:14that Alex is 24-carat crazy.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Listen, tonight though, tonight we are going to play pockets.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20This is the game I love.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It is my favourite, because it's a pure gambling game.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24So, I see you tonight.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Before Alex heads off,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30he reminds Paul that he wants to play pockets later on.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34It's another crazy gambling game and it's clearly his favourite.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- You will lose more money to me tonight.- Absolutely. OK?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yia mas.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Pockets which is the stupidest game in the world,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I've told him that he has a tell.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Right. And that if he puts something in his left or right pocket,
0:07:49 > 0:07:50I always know where it is.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54A tell is a gambler's unwitting giveaway sign.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He can't figure out what his tell is.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01His tell is that somebody just tells me which pocket it is. Right?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04That's the tell!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Paul must now persuade the mark to play a little trick on Alex.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12He wants him to cheat when they're playing pockets later on.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15All it is, is that if he puts it in his right pocket,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18you put any hand in any pocket.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Right. If there's no hand in the pocket...nothing.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24All I need is, if one of you wouldn't mind,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26just letting me know which pocket he puts something in.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29So...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I'll reach for my mobile phone if it's in the right...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Sounds like he's up for a spot of light cheating, by signalling
0:08:36 > 0:08:41to Paul which pocket Alex is hiding an object in later tonight.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43You do it as well? You can do it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Jody also agrees to make the mark feel like it's no big deal.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51They say their goodbyes and agree to meet up later at the card club
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- for an evening of wild gambling. - Take care, guys.- See you later.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Still to come... the mark plays a game of poker he'll never forget...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02If you beat me, I give you the car.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- And pockets the biggest win of his life.- Come on.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Double or nothing. Double or nothing!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21When hustlers go out, they don't take money.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24They take prop bets.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28The proposition bet has only one rule
0:09:28 > 0:09:31and that's that the hustler always wins.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39The question is how many drops of water
0:09:39 > 0:09:41from this glass, using this straw, do you think
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I can get on the penny before it all spills over.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Six.- Six drops? Before it spills over?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54So if I say, if I get more than six, then you buy us a round of drinks?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Three drinks? That sounds nice, doesn't it?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00If I get six or below, I'll buy you all a drink.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- OK.- Sound good? Yes? OK? Shake on it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08So, the bet is, if Jess can't fit six or more drops
0:10:08 > 0:10:12onto the 1p piece, she has to buy a round of drinks.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16One, two, three,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19four, five, six...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21First drink! Let's carry on.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24seven, eight, nine, ten,
0:10:24 > 0:10:2611, 12, 13,
0:10:26 > 0:10:3014, 15, 16, 17
0:10:30 > 0:10:3318, 19, 20, 21, 22,
0:10:33 > 0:10:3723, 24... 24!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Turns out you can fit a lot of drops on a 1p piece!
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I think you owe us all a drink! I'd love a gin and tonic, please!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's a rainy day in Edinburgh.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01But the weather isn't putting people off from sitting outside
0:11:01 > 0:11:02this city centre cafe.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Here come a couple of all-weather hustlers.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Sorry. Hi! - It's Alex and Polly
0:11:10 > 0:11:14who take a seat next to a friendly looking chap at the next table.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17He's now the mark.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Do you want to move your table? - Yeah, we'll just move it a little.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Thank you. I got so many bags!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34So that's the ice well and truly broken. One thing's for sure -
0:11:34 > 0:11:37the hustlers won't be buying anyone's lunch in...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Feel really embarrassed, you know.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Asking to borrow some money and stuff.- It's OK.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- It's not a problem. I can lend you the money. I've brought 500. - That's fine. Perfect.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Sounds like Polly's short of money and Alex is helping her out.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57They're trying hard to draw the mark's attention to the envelope
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- and the cash.- 100...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But he's so engrossed in conversation with his mate
0:12:01 > 0:12:03that he doesn't even notice.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07500.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Do you know what, I'm going to give you my new number
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and put it on the envelope so if there's any problems...
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- You got a pen?- Um...
0:12:16 > 0:12:19That's not going to work for this scam.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Polly makes sure she gets the mark's attention.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. You don't have a pen I could borrow? - I don't, actually.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Actually, no, no, I've got one. - Boom!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33He's clocked the big wad of cash.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- I am going to put it in here. - OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Alex makes a big deal of writing his mobile number on the envelope,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- talking loud enough to ensure the mark overhears.- Don't lose that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- There's 500 quid in there. - I'm not going to lose that money.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Being a strong believer in not littering,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Polly takes a moment to throw away the coffee cup.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59And the hustlers are gone, leaving the mark to enjoy his lunch.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06A few minutes later, someone else arrives at the cafe.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10He looks and smells like he hasn't had a shower for weeks.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Seems like he's found something.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19The mark notices the tramp is holding a brown envelope,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22but this is no ordinary down-and-out.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27It's Paul, moving in for phase two of this scam.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Is this yours?
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Sorry?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42A lady put it in there with money in it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Is that her number?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51This isn't what Paul wants to hear.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It's not right, though, is it? Can you call that?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59He's going to have to work a little harder.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Just... I don't want to get into trouble. Can you call that?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06After a bit more persuasion, he gets him to call
0:14:06 > 0:14:11the number on the envelope, knowing full well it belongs to Alex.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Oh, no!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Have you got it?
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Oh. Has he opened it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40There's £500 in there for rent money for my colleague
0:14:40 > 0:14:43who's with me. I'm going to send her back,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45but I'm not able to get back for 20 minutes.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Maybe if you could give him £20 and when the lady comes
0:14:48 > 0:14:49she can give it back.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53That would be fantastic.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Is there money in there?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Can we say 40 quid? Don't know how much is here.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05He's pushing his luck.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Keeps me out of the rain.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Thank you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13There's 40 quid.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Say 50?- Why not?- Thank you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- 50's even better!- Thank you.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Thank you. You are too. I appreciate that.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Thank you very much.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So that's a good deed all-round and everyone's happy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Pleased with his good work the mark calls the number
0:15:47 > 0:15:51on the envelope again to let Alex know he gave the tramp 50 quid.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55But the phone just rings out.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57PHONE RINGS
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Looks like he'll just have to sit tight
0:16:03 > 0:16:05until the nice lady arrives to collect her envelope.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07So he waits,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and waits.
0:16:12 > 0:16:1620 minutes later and there's still no sign of her.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Eventually, curiosity gets the better of him and he sneaks a peak.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Instead of 500 quid in cash,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35the envelope is stuffed with shreds of newspaper.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So what happened to all that cash?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Here's what really happened.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Earlier, when Polly dropped her coffee cup into the bin
0:16:51 > 0:16:55she made sure the mark saw her. When Paul appeared posing as
0:16:55 > 0:16:58a tramp, he dropped a brown envelope behind the bin,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02identical to the one Alex gave Polly, making it look
0:17:02 > 0:17:04as if he'd just found it.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09This one didn't have any cash in it, just ripped up pieces of paper.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Playing the honesty card, Paul encouraged the mark to call the number on the envelope.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Has he opened it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Paul knew Alex would pick up straight away, after all,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24he and Polly were parked just around the corner
0:17:24 > 0:17:25waiting for the phone to ring.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29There's £500 in there for rent money.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Thinking the sealed envelope was full of cash, the mark
0:17:31 > 0:17:35had no problem giving the tramp a finder's fee from his own pocket.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Maybe you could give him £20.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39When the lady comes she can give it back to you.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Can I say 50?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Being the hustler he is, Paul even negotiated the money up
0:17:48 > 0:17:53to 50 quid, plus a compliment for such outstanding honesty!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Once he had the cash, the tramp walked around the corner
0:17:56 > 0:17:59to the van where Alex and Polly were waiting.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- What did you roll the window open for?- Because you stink! Oh!
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I feel sad.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I've been humbled probably,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and we just have to get on with life.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Never hand over money for something that appears to be of greater value
0:18:19 > 0:18:22unless you know who you're dealing with.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26An envelope full of newspaper isn't going to be worth very much
0:18:26 > 0:18:28when you take it down to the bank.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Earlier today, shameless star Jody Latham helped the hustlers
0:18:40 > 0:18:44convince this mark to get involved in a poker game being run
0:18:44 > 0:18:47by Nick the Mad Greek, a wealthy high-roller
0:18:47 > 0:18:48known for his wild gambling habit.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Full house!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53A game called pockets is also on the cards
0:18:53 > 0:18:56and the mark has agreed to help Paul win in...
0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's the biggest bet you've ever made in your life.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06The mark arrives at the casino for tonight's poker game.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The Mad Greek's Mercedes AMG is parked right outside,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11so it's game on.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Can we have £500.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Everybody buy in. We can settle up at the end. No problem.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I trust you guys.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21The cards start flying
0:19:21 > 0:19:24as the hustlers set about gaining the mark's confidence.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Give me my full house, baby! Yes! Full house!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Alex starts out winning.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36125, I raise another hundred.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41But as the game goes on, Alex's plays get more and more reckless.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I don't like mine. Have it. Take it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The Greek starts losing his chips left, right and centre.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53All in.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- Call.- And before long, Alex is almost broke.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Ah, you have me! You have me.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Put him out of his misery.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I cut you for everything.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- But Alex isn't done playing. - If you beat me, I give you the car.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Having run out of money,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Alex is now playing with the key to his £30,000 Mercedes.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18The mark looks on in awe.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You don't have to give me the chip back. I can buy it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25The bet's off, to everyone's relief.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26OK, take a break.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Do you want to come downstairs, boys?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30So the Greek is out.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34He's spent enough on poker but he hasn't run out of cash yet.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- He's saving some for his favourite game, Pocket.- I'm ready.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Paul turns his back,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47while Alex puts his car key into one of his jacket pockets.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Right or left.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53All Paul has to do, is guess which pocket the key is in.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Simple.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Left.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58BLEEP!
0:20:59 > 0:21:03How you do this now? You've never got it right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05How many? Five times in a row.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Every time, you've got a tell.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- I have a tell?- These guys already know what it is.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12No way.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Do you know what his tell is?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19His tell is that somebody tells me which pocket it is.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23That's the tell.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- I do it with you.- No, no, no.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30- I do with you, £1,000, I do with you. £1,000.- I'll do it for 1,000.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I'm going to the toilet, I do £1,000 with him.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36With the help of Jody and the mark, Paul can't lose.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Alex refuses to play him any more.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40He now wants to play the mark.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46If you lose, I'll give you the money.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Christmas came early, right?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51The mark finally agrees to play Alex at Pockets.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Paul is guaranteeing the bet, so he's got nothing to lose.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Remember, right in the pocket, left out the pocket.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03If he puts it in his right pocket, you put any hand in any pocket.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05If there's no hand in the pocket, nothing.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Are you ready?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- He's going to do it. - Don't be scared.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Look away.- Yes, look away.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It's now down to Jody.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22He has two signal to the mark, which pocket Alex has put the key in.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25If this goes wrong, the scam is off.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29The key is in Alex's right pocket.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Jody's signal is to put his hands in his pockets.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40This is for a grand.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Left or right?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- In my right pocket?- BLEEP!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54The mark gets it correct. He's just won £1,000.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- Double or nothing. Double or nothing. Come on.- You're crazy.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Double or nothing.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You've nothing to lose, play.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Alex puts the objects in his right pocket again,
0:23:09 > 0:23:14so Jody, once again, puts his hands in his pockets for the signal.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You can turn around.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20For 2,000. Left or right?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24They're now playing for two grand.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Be honest.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Oh, my days.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- I told you. - I can't take any more of this.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Double or nothing. Double or nothing. Look away.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42The Mad Greek just won't accept defeat,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44so, it's double or nothing again.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- You all right?- No.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51This time, it's left, so Jody's hands are out of his pockets.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53This is 4,000 I owe him.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Four grand is on the line here.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00BLEEP!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The mark's now £4,000 up on the game.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Double or nothing, one more time. One more time.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Paul advises the mark to take the massive eight-grand bet.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16He knows he can't lose, but he's still nervous.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22The hands are out of the pocket and the signals are in place.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- This isn't my night.- £8,000.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Won in just a few seconds.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- A chance to get my money. Last one. - You've 16,000 with you?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I have the car. £30,000.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46That's a brand-new Mercedes AMG worth more than 30 grand.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Alex is now using the car as collateral.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Ready?- I'm ready.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Hands in and that means the right pocket.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- It is the biggest bet you've ever made in your life.- Come on.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Oh, my God!
0:25:15 > 0:25:1916 grand. That's way more than the mark has ever won.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Enough, no more.- Finally, enough.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Nick, the Greek, says enough.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I can give it to you Monday.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Tonight, we're good for 16,000.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30On Monday, you tend to forget a little.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Listen, you want something, you can take the car.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37£30,000, you can have the car. You give me 16,000, we're square.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39You don't have 16,000 on you either.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Alex is happy to use the car as collateral,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46but it's worth far more than the £16,000 he owes the mark.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Have a look at the car.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52But this is worth 30,000. OK, we're clear?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Let me speak to them.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Let's take a walk. - Have a look at the car.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Go outside to calm down and have a good look at the car.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Oh, my days.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You can't have it, surely. He's not going to give you his car.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Alex won't release the car for the 16 grand though.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Maybe there's a compromise. - You owe him 16.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- I owe him 16 which I'm going to pay. - Gives you 6,000.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- That makes up to 22. - 22,000 is a good price for that car.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23In your game, that's a good price.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Paul's suggesting giving Alex a few grand
0:26:25 > 0:26:29to make up the cost of the car and the mark can then keep it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:35- OK, deal.- The mark will pay just six grand for a £30,000 car.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- Where is the cash? - Oh, yes, give him the cash.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- There go an awful lot of £50 notes. - Deal?- You've got yourself a car.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- You're happy?- It's not sunk in. - What do you want to drink, Stuart?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Miller.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Get him a Miller.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54He's only going to have one beer though.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57After all, he's got a brand-new car to drive home.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Go upstairs, sit down, I'll get Jackie.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04The mark heads upstairs, while the hustlers go to buy drinks.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09There's no sign of the hustlers or those beers.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11What's the hold-up?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Eventually, the Mark gets suspicious
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and goes back downstairs to find his new friends.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22There's no sign of them at the bar, so he heads outside.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25But they're not out here and there's no Mercedes either.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Go upstairs, sit down, I'll get Jackie.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32The hustlers weren't getting the drinks in after all.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Alex wasn't handing over the real key to that sports car.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43How else could he return it to the rental company
0:27:43 > 0:27:45that hired it out to them for the day?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Watching it all fit into place, you're thinking, wow, wow, wow!.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54You're getting more and more excited
0:27:54 > 0:27:57and more and more keen to do it, to have someone off.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01The reality of it is, it confirmed what I already knew,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04and that is, it's very easy to get hustled.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06We all love a bargain,
0:28:06 > 0:28:10but the casino is the wrong place to think about buying a motorcar.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Make sure the person is offering you something
0:28:12 > 0:28:14that really has the right to sell it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Be challenging about it. A car key on its own is worth nothing.
