All language subtitles for The Hustler S01E07 Every Tic Could Be A Tell

- Welcome to a mystery
that's not so much a whodunit

as a "who knew it."

It's a game
where street smarts rule

and dishonesty takes you
to the top.

Every tic could be a tell,

and any wrong move
could get you expelled.

And when the ruse
is finally revealed,

it will send shockwaves
through this study.

I'm Craig Ferguson,
and this is "The Hustler."

[cheers and applause]
Ah! Ha ha!

Good evening,
and welcome to "The Hustler"--

a game of deception, betrayal,

and multiple-choice
trivia questions.

Tonight I will ask
you five players

ten trivia questions
worth $10,000 each.

You'll be working together
to bank every single dollar.

Well, not really.

One of you is secretly
the Hustler.

That person already knows
all the answers

because the questions
are inspired by facts

and experiences
from the Hustler's life.

The Hustler's goal
is to sneak out of here

with all of the money.

But if the last two players
can catch the Hustler,

then the cash will be theirs
to share.

By that point,
the other two of you

will be eliminated
by the Hustler.

Before we begin, let's all
have a little meet and greet.

Where are you from, Sarah?

- I'm from Los Angeles.

- What do you do
in Los Angeles?

- I'm a stay-at-home
mother of two.

- Really? Are you the Hustler?
- [laughs] No.

- What do you think?
She telling the truth?

- I don't know.
She's been a little fidgety.

A little hard to tell.
I guess we'll find out.

- What about you, Sam?
You feeling fidgety?

- Not really.
- Where you from?

- From Atlanta, Georgia.
- What do you do in Atlanta?

- So I work for a big
telecommunications company

in their consulting arm.

- That sound like a real job
to you, Michelle?

- Not particularly, no.
[laughs]

- Where are you from?
- Paducah, Kentucky.

- Are you the Hustler?
- No.

- Are you the Hustler?
- I'm not.

- Okay. What about you, Myrick?
You the Hustler?

- Not at all.

- It's an interesting name.
Where you from?

- I'm from Catonsville,
Maryland.

- What do you do there
in Maryland?

- I'm a stay-at-home dad.

- Stay-at-home dad!
- Yeah.

- How many kids do you got?
- I just have one.

He's 2--well, 2 1/2.

He tells people--
- You have 2 1/2 kids,

or you have one kid
that's 2 1/2?

- No, one kid who's 2 1/2.
- Okay, fair enough.

Well, well, well...

- Well, well, well...
[laughter]

- How are you doing?

- I'm fantastic.
How are you doing?

- I'm fantastic, too, Andrew.

Where you from?
- Conroe, Texas.

- Conroe, Texas. What do you do
when you're there?

- I'm the most trustworthy
person in the world.

I'm a car salesman.
[laughter]

- Are you the Hustler,
by the way?

- I could be. That's what
we're here to find out, right?

- Okay, fair enough.

I find it pretty hard
to believe

that none of you
are the Hustler.

Somebody's
got to be the Hustler.

Now, here's the thing
that you should know.

I legitimately don't know
who the Hustler is.

I swear. Don't look at me
for guidance.

But I do have some clues

to share with you
about the Hustler's identity.

Here is the first one.

Hmm. I don't remember anyone

admitting to being
a college professor.

I mean, he looks like he
could be a college professor.

He fits the profile
a little bit.

You know, he's sophisticated.
- Maybe a little too well.

- Ah, maybe.

I think he's at that right age,
where he could be a professor.

- What profession were you
trying to be

before you became
a stay-at-home dad?

I was in defense.
- Defense?

You have one minute.

I will not accept the answer

so I wouldn't even know
where to begin.

- Well I think we can eliminate
$101,000.

- I agree.
101,000 can be eliminated.

- I think that's way
too much money.

- I even say for a median,

92 is probably
a little too much money.

- Probably depends
on what kind of college...

- Right. It doesn't
say what kind.

It says a college professor.
So it could be Harvard.

It could be
a community college.

- Right.
- But the way median

is calculated, right, it's not,
like, the average.

It's the number in the middle.
- In the middle.

So that's why 92 still seems
very, very high.

- It does.
- To be a middle number for me.

- 56 seems low.
- Maybe 78?

- I would lean towards 78.

- What do you guys think, 78?

- I would agree with that.
- I think 78 sounds good.

- That sounds the most
reasonable.

- Okay, we'll go with 78.

to eliminate...

♪ ♪

Myrick.

Myrick, I am so sorry.

- Me too.

- Why do you think
you were eliminated?

- Probably because I went
a little too hard

on the Hustler there.

- So who do you think it is?
- I think it's Sarah.

- I didn't realize
you'd gone hard on me.

[laughter]

- I thought
you were gonna say Sam.

Why do you think it's Sarah?

- There's a lot
of obscure...clues,

you know,

maybe, like,
a little eccentric person.

- I'm sorry to say good-bye
to you, but you have to go.

- All right. Good luck.

I have not heard of any

let me finish.

I was gonna say, "I actually

[laughs]
- Okay!

- At the risk of being--
It's "Fela!"

- And how do you know that?

- Because I--
in college, Fela Kuti's son

came to my college
and performed.

- Wow.

- If she knows the answer,
she knows the answer.

- Sounds good.
If you know it...

- There hasn't been, like,

- In New Orleans.

- You guys agree
on the answer already?

- Yeah. I'm good with it.

- She's felt confident,
so I'm good with it.

- Okay!

"Fela!" is the answer
you gave us.

Is "Fela!" the correct answer?

"Fela!" is the correct answer.
Well, well, well...

- Good job, Sarah.
- Thank you.

- $60,000 in the bank.

[chuckles]

I think you put yourself in the
hot seat right there, Sarah.

- But I felt confident to do it

'cause I know I'm not
the Hustler,

so it's, like,
what do I have to lose?

- I think you're quite right.

Does it make someone
the Hustler

because they know the answer?
Absolutely not.

But the Hustler does know
the answer to every question.

And that was
a pretty tough one.

Who do you think the Hustler
is, Sarah?

- I, like, feel kind of torn,

'cause Andrew has known
so many answers,

but also, like,
he feels confident

to just say them out
and not hide it.

Whereas Sam, I feel,
has been playing,

like, more of a long game.

- I agree. I think Sam's
playing a cagier game.

- I'm just a cagy person.

- There's nothing wrong
with being--

- But I'm not the Hustler.

And I actually think
it's Andrew

for a plethora of reasons,

and we can talk about it
when we get to the end,

but I've been keeping an eye
on him.

- Well, we'll only have
two minutes then.

I think it's Sarah. I actually
don't think it's Sam.

Sam has been pretty adamant

about two answers
that were wrong.

And I feel like Sarah's
had a lot of canned answers.

out at the end.

If you know the answer,
what's the answer?

- So I minored in German

it's German,

'cause I feel like he wrote
in German.

That doesn't really rule out
Poland,

'cause part of Poland was part

- All right,
there's $70,000 in the bank,

and we are very close
to learning

the Hustler's identity.

There's only
two more questions to go,

but first, let's see
what this next clue reveals.

♪ ♪

Something
of an archeologist, then.

♪ ♪

What are we thinking, Andrew?

- I'm going to guess that
this has something to do

with the professor's job.

- You're very good
at analyzing the information,

and I like that,
and I respect it,

but I also wonder...

is it a screen?

- It's a little suspect.

- Where'd you study?
- I never went to college.

- You're very smart.
You're very astute.

- Most of my answers have been
pop culture.

- Okay. Let's keep going.

Your next question is...

♪ ♪

- I would X Tom Selleck.

I don't think it's him.

Other than that,
I lean Clint Eastwood,

but I'm not confident in that.

- He's, like, a little old.
- Yeah.

- But then?
- Even then.

- Yeah, this is, like,
the mid-'80s?

- James Caan...

- I don't know
who James Caan is.

- It could be Selleck.
I don't...

- 'Cause Robert Redford is,
like, in my mind,

the same age
as Clint Eastwood, but...

- I'm not sure.
It's gonna be a total guess.

- Hmm, the Hustler knows.
The Hustler won't be guessing.

- You said you were good
at pop culture.

- You don't give me
an answer...

- More recent.
- [laughs]

- If I had to do a guess,
I'd say Caan.

- James Caan?
- Just because we don't know

who that is?
- Because--yes.

- I don't think
it's Tom Selleck.

I don't think
it's Clint Eastwood.

Or you don't think
it's Clint Eastwood.

I thought it was
Clint Eastwood,

but y'all said the age, so that
leaves Caan and Redford.

I don't think it's Redford.
I would go Caan.

- Time's up.
- That works.

- Okay.
- The role of the archaeologist

Indiana Jones was originally
offered to which actor?

You guys said James Caan.

Is James Caan
the correct answer?

James Caan is not
the correct answer.

What is the correct answer?

The correct answer
is Tom Selleck.

[applause]

First of all, well done, Tom.
Great choice.

[laughter]

Secondly, the Hustler knew that
and let it go.

Was it a smokescreen?

You've made it
through nine questions.

You have banked $70,000.

But it's never been
more important

to get the next question right,

because if you get
this last question correct,

I will double your money--

$140,000.

[audience ooh-ing]

But if you get it wrong...

I'm gonna cut it in half--
$35,000.

Now, it would be nuts
if that happened,

because the Hustler
knows the answer.

- Yes, I mean,
if you know the answer,

now's the time to come out
with it.

- I don't think
it's the frontal lobe,

because that's what people take
out with lobotomies,

and people don't end up blind
after lobotomies.

- Okay.

gone... [stammers]

Because it looks like optical.

took a stand on that,

but I'm, like...

- When you did,
you pushed it back on me...

like you were trying to hide

that you knew the answer
going on what I said.

- 'Cause I saw you trying
to push it on me

and, like, change
the narrative

and then leave and be, like--
if I didn't correct you.

- You seemed to know more
about lobes than I did.

I have an earlobe,
and that's about the only thing

I am aware of.
- [chuckles]

I mean, you did mention it.

- The optical, just
from the optical standpoint.

- But you've played it
really smooth this whole time.

That's the thing--
you're either a genius,

or you're, like,
straight as an arrow,

and I'm having a really
hard time figuring it out.

- [laughs] That's the game!

- And I guess that's
the point of the game.

- It is.
- I don't know.

- All right,
$140,000 is in the bank.

All that's left to find out
is who the Hustler is

and who's taking home
all of this money.

I can't wait!

[cheers and applause]

- Players, you've made it
through ten trivia questions.

You've done very well.

Two eliminations
have gone past us.

And you have ended up

with $140,000 in the bank.

Now we just need to find out

who will be taking
all that cash home.

And we will do that
with a proper vote.

If the Hustler is correctly
uncovered by two of you,

then you will both leave here
with $70,000 each.

But if the Hustler manages
to fool just one of you,

then they will leave
with 140,000.

Before I ask
for your selections,

here's what we've learned
about the Hustler this evening.

Can you change their minds?

Your shot of taking home any

hinges on that fact.

Two minutes to decide.
Good luck.

- Well, at first, I definitely
thought it was Sam

because you look like
a college professor to me.

But as I started watching
your guys' interactions--

'cause I've hung back
a little bit--

Sam is actually asking
questions

about other people's backstory,

whereas Andrew was just relying

on stereotypes
of people's backstories.

Like, "You look like this,"

or he assumed because
I'm a stay-at-home mom

that I can't have
a college degree.

- I don't think you're a
stay-at-home mom.

- Well, I was offended by that.

I think that's, like--
You're using--

Like, if I was
gonna leave two people,

I would leave someone to frame,

and someone who I thought
I could convince

of the person
that I am framing.

- And again, she was originally
thinking that it was you.

I came on to her.
She changed back to me.

I've watched her--she hasn't
been watching us as much.

She's been watching Craig
or kind of looking around,

when you've been actively
playing the game.

You've been participating.
You've been looking at people.

I've seen you hunting
to find out who the Hustler is.

I haven't seen that from her.

The stories don't match up,
they don't add up,

and her answers seemed canned
and spontaneous.

When she knew an answer,
it was to the point,

here's how it was,
and there wasn't a whole lot

of speculation,
and it was leading.

And I strongly,
strongly feel it was her.

- I thought your stuff
was really canned,

'cause you had, like,
dates and times

and everything lined up, like,
to give everything.

I've got boxed up--
here's my explanation.

- Well, that was, like,
on my personal story,

like, my daughter, who I know
all that specifically,

it's the only time
I mentioned a date.

Specifically on answers
and questions,

I've narrowed things down,
crossed stuff out,

but I've never been canned--
it's been discussion.

When you were very canned
on a lot of your responses.

And even you went back a clue.

And that's the thing that
I found the most interesting.

She went back
to the shower clue

when we were already
a clue ahead.

And specifically said,

"There wasn't enough
products there."

That was kids.
That was a canned response

that I felt like needed
to get fitted in.

- I mean, I did initially think
it was you.

I'm starting to lean
that direction

'cause I feel
like you fit a lot

of the questions a little more

You're still a little bit
of a question in my mind,

'cause I feel like you do
fit the, like,

podcast and zombie
apocalypse kind of--

I don't want to call it
a stereotype,

but I feel like
that could be you.

But I don't know, I mean,
you've gotten this--

- I'm in Texas--we believe in
Christ, not the zombies.
