first office [Music] um [Music] do you know what it's like watching you sitting here every day i just want an instrumental kiss can i please mr hamilton's expectations [Music] got it i've got a positive id he's a short con artist called danny blue any history we know he played a con three months ago south of the river but the mark went through his complaint and cps wouldn't prosecute without his evidence why did he pull out the mark bet his life savings in a horse racing scam but his wife didn't know anything about it i suppose he wanted to keep it that way hard to explain over breakfast i guess it must be true what they say there's one bone every minute [Music] gentlemen come in come here take a seat thank you sorry i'm late guys [Music] run into an old friend gentlemen welcome to the land of plenty thank you now what i'm about to show you may be foolproof but it's also illegal there's no victim but it is against the law would you like me to continue [Music] you see the first rule of the con is you can't see an honest man it's never been done can't happen impossible the only way this thing works is if you want something for nothing so what do we do well we give you nothing for something you're a ground up so far it's a very good time to walk away but he can't because he's so greedy so what do we do feed the greed but he's got one last chance [Music] we've told him it's illegal you could lose everything career wife home prison get out while you can do the smart thing [Music] as i was saying what i'm about to show you may be foolproof but it is against the law now would you like me to continue hey laws were made to be broken could you tell peterson i want those breakdowns by lunchtime thank you share transactions from tokyo and new york are related to the city of london by computer or more precisely our computer when the multinationals publish their annual reports there's a flurry of activity if a company has done well their shares attract buyers and the price jumps what we've managed to do is to delay those transactions in the system just long enough to assess them and put our own order in to buy before them so you buy knowing the share price is going to go up exactly oh they must notice the delay surely not when it's less than nine tenths of a second well you can do all this in less than a second our mainframe can make three million calculations in that time so what's in it for you well i take 25 percent of your profit 25 percent non-negotiable but i don't know the profit is guaranteed right set in stone well if there's no profit i don't get paid in three days the oil company vestron are going to release their annual report now once it's out every major broker will be crawling all over those shares the plan is to buy half a million pounds worth of shares i have two investors already in place at a hundred thousand each there are three places left a hundred thousand okay yeah i'm in yeah well i don't know if i can raise that kind of money boat leaves in three days either on it or you're not tony it's a lot of money and i'll find it [Music] you don't mind if i call my broker uh what i've just said cannot leave this room and i'm not in the habit of investing in companies i've never heard of [Music] george peter williams what do you know about vestron no no problem just heard always but that's all no i'll call you an incumbent okay count me in good oh one more thing i don't want to leave any paper trains the money has to be in cash cash problem [Music] i suppose not well i just want to thank you for this opportunity thank you [Music] work the spell that's how confident i am no is that guy for everyone or is that you know just the traits do a little tip danny some friendly advice yeah that'd be great watch and learn stay out of things that don't concern you oh gee what's up you guys seem pretty tight yeah after a while you get to be family i say something funny nah the old family thing that works for me you play short cons danny emptying people's wage packets on a friday night i wouldn't expect you to understand i make a criticism okay a hundred grand we can take this guy for a lot more than that that's the bit you don't get it's not just about the money well since when since always you don't get that you don't get anything my old man was as straight as they come never wanted much and life didn't disappoint him he worked bet and slept paid his taxes on time told the line the only dream he had was retiring at 60. dead in the post office three days before his 60th birthday he was paying his phone bill sorry yeah me too you want to be regular people do you well go ahead go on go do that they're crying out for foot soldiers down there go and have your life run by bosses bank managers and politicians but if you want to be a grifter don't have anything in your life you can't walk away from in a second lovers friends even your own mother what about your wife i heard what happened she wanted me to be something that i wasn't and i was desperate not to disappoint her recipe for disaster so if you're still together you're telling me you could just walk away from her first rule danny always look after number one if you don't no one else will okay yeah i'll try and remember that now go on go home danny get some sleep danny blue kid did well today yeah reminds me of you worryingly okay come on how did you find him why am i that transparent you taught me well i heard about him he's good wants to be the best that sounds familiar i told eddie to point him in your direction well hell i'm all but done anyway you gonna miss it we're all trying to get out albert you would too if you could think of something else to do all right boys you know what i'd love about roulette and glorious 30 seconds while the wheel is still spinning christopher rawlings the horse racing scam his wife found out he'd lost their life savings he's ready to press charges you ever been to prison danny shouldn't he be typing this that's plan b want to hear plan a surprise me we've already got enough to send everyone down there's no way around that but bearing in mind who the mark is the powers that be would rather not have a lengthy trial they think the details might be embarrassing so what they need is a watertight case so overwhelming everyone pleads guilty we'll rush the sentencing through and the whole thing blows over sounds like you've got a word out we have now we know you came into the game late so you get a lifeline which is just do what you've been doing after the arrest will take you to a safe house you make a statement once the rest of the team know we've got your evidence they'll know there's no point in doing anything else but pleading guilty in return you walk away into the sunset but what if we're down like i said you go down with the rest of them and we'll add the rawlings job for good measure all you have to do is go back pretend we never had this conversation mickey and the others are going to prison whatever you do the only choice you have to make is whether you go with them or not be smart danny look after number one [Music] where's the kid he'll be here opening night nerves [Music] yeah okay williams is on his way home [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] gentlemen you're late oh sorry doesn't matter there's no time let's get this done [Music] [Applause] [Music] where's redford he'll be here i thought we were all going to do this together if there's a problem we can call the whole thing [Music] here he is look mickey i'm police everybody stay exactly where you are put the case down okay everyone hands on heads well what the hell's going on i'm afraid you've been caught up in a confidence trick sir what these men have been planning to swindle you out of your money oh there must be some mistake all right danny you can go cudas no listen this is not how it looks get the cases don't do it michael final lesson danny i mean it [Music] we need a statement i have my position to think of we understand that sir just give me my money and i'll go we can't do that it's evidence well sold the money let me out of here i can't be implicated in something like this it would ruin me if we have enough evidence we can get guilty please it won't go to court am i under arrest we need your statement am i under arrest no sir get out of my way let him go let's hope the boss can do his stuff sorry about the head you killed him i saved your life danny everyone's in custody we'll get you checked out on the way to the station first time to keep your end of the bargain be sure not to miss anything out i'm not across be smart danny all you can do now is lose then i lose as soon as i look up with a murdering scumbag like you stone fired a gun at you really thought i'd betrayed him you do this or i'll see you get five years last chance go screw yourself okay he's all yours [Laughter] i knew you'd be okay [Laughter] [Music]

danny blue neil cooper now this man defines the term con artist i'm just passing through i'm glad i could help hang on a minute you shot at me yeah but i missed remember so you're telling me we're on free [Music] absolutely unless the police would like to go to court and explain how the investigation was led by one of the accused it's all in the details to mickey bricks's last school [Music] the end of an era [Music] you know the sweetest corn of all is to con another grifter one who should know better what do you mean you're not retiring i had to say something to get you all together
