HustleHU$TLE

Episode 18

Still reveling in their last triumph, the crew hits trouble when they're pinned with trumped-up drug charges; the quintet is hauled off to the police station by ambitious and fearless cop DCI York. York's latest obsession is catching notorious thief, Adam Rice (a.k.a. The Ghost). Ingeniously, York's decided to blackmail the Hustle crew into doing his dirty work for him; once the crew delivers The Ghost, York promises they can all go free. Having weighed their options, the gang attempts to make contact with Rice, but he seems to live up to his elusive reputation. Finally, the crew convinces him to join forces for their next con.

Rice has been commissioned to steal a lost Hans Christian Andersen manuscript from a heavily guarded country house. Mickey plans to call York once they're in the house (and Rice has the manuscript) so that York can catch Rice red-handed. Unfortunately for the gang, York is a dirty cop at best, and plans to take them all in. With the security diverted, Rice, Mickey and Danny skydive into the grounds - but a bad landing puts Rice out of the game, and the crew must take over. On cue, York arrives to reel in his prize catch...but where have all the conmen gone?
