Episode 7

Mickey, Danny, Albert, Ash and Stacie return from a well-earned break to discover that veteran grifter Harry Holmes has been put in the slammer. He got busted attempting to con a ruthless property developer named Howard Jennings, and now Holmes may be in for a long stretch. Jennings has been stung before and won't be outsmarted by anyone - or so he thinks.

Still, Danny's eager to take Jennings on, but the team doesn't share his enthusiasm. Convinced he can pull it off, Danny makes a bet with Mickey. But Mickey is worried by Danny's insistence of throwing tried and tested tradition to the wind. With a little help from Stacie, Danny is struck by inspiration and prepares the most outrageous con that they've ever engineered. They're going to sell Jennings a gold mine - in London. Using a genuine discovery of Bronze Age gold artifacts in London, the gang concoct a myth about these artifacts being sourced from a secret mine under London's streets.

As the scam unfolds, it appears that Jennings is falling head first into their trap. But at the crucial last stage, Jennings decides to conduct his own tests on the land they are attempting to sell him. The team looks to Danny for plan B, but has his hare-brained scheme actually accounted for one?
