Harold (Renu Setna), an old friend of Albert’s, summons the team to take revenge on Kulvinda Samar (Silas
Carson), a greedy sweat-shop owner who has caused pain and suffering to Harold’s sisters and the Asian community
for many years. Samar is an ardent fan of Bollywood films – a perfect target for a classic movie-investor con. The team’s
knowledge of Bollywood is limited, but, as ever, the con must be perfect.
Producer Gerard Bruce (Mickey) is making a Bollywood film aimed at the western market with a British cast. Regular
film investor, Harry Kaplan (Albert), is out of his depth and knows nothing about Bollywood, so convinces Samar to
invest in his place. Thrilled at the prospect of turning his dreams into reality, Samar agrees to the investment – on
condition he visits the set and meets the stars of the film, including the lead actress (Stacie) and director (Ash).
But as perfectionist Samar mulls over this amazing offer, he figures it is too good to be true. Coming to the conclusion
that he is being conned, he surprises his chauffeur (Danny) so much with this revelation that he crashes. At the
hospital, Danny reveals that Samar rumbled them because they were too perfect. The con is off, until Albert discovers
that Samar has amnesia.
The crew decides that such a vulgar character deserves to be conned again – but with a little less perfection. As they
replay the con, they are baffled by Samar’s apparent change in nature; he is no longer cruel and arrogant. Their grifter
sense tells them to walk away – but is Samar just playing them at their own game? Show less
