In Hustle season 1 episode 15, titled "It Will All Be Alright on the Night," the team is back with another clever plan to con their target. This time, they come up with their most audacious plan yet to take down a corrupt politician who is embezzling money from local charities.

The episode begins with the crew, consisting of Mickey Stone, Albert Stroller, Stacie Monroe, Ash Morgan, and Danny Blue, gathering to discuss their latest assignment. They learn that their target is a corrupt politician named Christopher Cole who has been taking money from local charities. The team is informed that Cole is attending an exclusive charity function the following night, and they have only 24 hours to come up with a plan to con him out of his ill-gotten gains.

Mickey decides that the best way to approach Cole is to offer him a way to make more money without getting caught. He devises a plan to sell him a fake sports channel that supposedly can broadcast exclusive football matches. To make the proposition more attractive, Mickey enlists the help of Ash's contact, a former football player named Ian to convince Cole that he has inside information on the matches.

As the team's plan starts to come together, they face several challenges along the way. For one, they need to obtain a large sum of cash to make a convincing offer to Cole. They also find out that Cole is not the only one who has been embezzling money from the charities. Another corrupt politician, a rival of Cole's, has also stolen funds.

As the team works to overcome these obstacles, they explore the lives of their targets. Through their investigation, they find out that both men have families they care about, which makes them more vulnerable to emotional manipulation. The crew uses this knowledge to their advantage and creates a plan that will not only bring these men to justice but also ensure that their families do not suffer too severely.
