All language subtitles for The Hustler S02E02

It's time for the most
captivating mystery

on television,

and it doesn't involve
grizzled police detectives

or quirky
private investigators.

There's not even
a single psychic medium.

But then again, maybe there are.

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

♪♪

[ Cheers and applause ]

Good evening, and welcome
to "The Hustler,"

the only game show on television

where it's not about
knowing all the answers,

but rather about knowing
who knows all the answers.

Tonight, you five players
will be working together

to answer 10 trivia questions
worth $10,000 each.

However, one of you
already knows the answers,

because the questions are based
on their life and experiences.

That person is the Hustler,

and they are hiding
among you in plain sight.

If between all
the clues and questions,

the Hustler can remain
undetected until the very end,

they'll take home every
single dollar for themselves.

However,
if the final two players

both agree
on the Hustler's identity,

then you will split the pot,

and the Hustler will get
absolutely nothing.

And yes,
you heard me correctly ‐‐

the final two players,

because the Hustler
will have the opportunity

to cut half of you
from the game.

The only way
you'll catch the Hustler

is by paying close attention
to every move everybody makes,

each question I ask,

and all the clues
about the Hustler,

like this first one right here.

The Hustler worked
in counterterrorism

in northeast Nigeria.

Wow.

Good Lord, Kara.

What's it like
in northeast Nigeria?

I'm not sure.

Where are you from?
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
Nothing like northeast Nigeria.

Or is it?

I wouldn't know.
Uh‐huh.

What do you do when
you live in Philadelphia?

I'm a bar manager.
A bar manager?

Yeah. Mm‐hmm.
Oh, okay.

Anthony, you married?

No, I'm not.

Okay, so you're single.

Yeah, I have
a pseudo‐romance.

A pseudo‐romance?
Yes, sir.

Okay, where did you guys meet?
Northeast Nigeria?

No, we met here
in Los Angeles.

Okay, fair enough.
What do you do for a living?

I am a
campaign manager.
Oh, really?

For politicians?
Yes.

Danielle,
you ever been there?

No.

Where? You don't even know
where I'm asking you.

I have never
been to ‐‐

You've never been to anywhere.
[ Laughs ]

It's like,
"I never been."

Northeast Nigeria.
Never been there?
No. No.

Okay. Ethan?
Yes?

What do you do for a living?

I'm a project manager
at an ad agency.

Really? Project managing
in Nigeria, perhaps?

Nope. Nope.
Here in L. A.
Okay.

Lloyd, I wanted to
talk to you

about your time
in northeast Nigeria.

I've never been
out the country.

Really? You've never been
out of the United States?

No.
Okay.

Which part of the United States
do you live in?

Texas.
Texas?

Well, people from Texas believe
that is a country on its own.

Full disclosure, a lot of people
think I know who the Hustler is.

Let me tell you, I have
no idea who the Hustler is.

I don't even know the questions

until they pop up
on the Magic Screen...

like this one.

In 2017,

Delta Air Lines
began offering passengers

which of these things
on international flights?

Nigerian food, Nigerian movies,
Nigerian cotton blankets,

or Nigerian music?

What was that?

You have 60 seconds
to come up with the answer.

And remember, the Hustler
already knows the answer.

$10,000. 60 seconds.
Time starts now.

Because it's a flight
and it's an airplane,

I'm gonna say
cotton blankets.

That's what I'm gonna
agree on, too.

Music, you're not
offering it.
Music
is one thing.

Like, how are you gonna
individualize that, you know?

Right, but they do have
screens in Delta.

Have you flown
Delta before?

Yeah, but what are
you gonna do?

You can plug in your little cord
and listen to it, too.

Yeah, but it's offering it
to all passengers.

I feel like you could probably
cut out movies and music,

'cause they're media.
Right.

It's definitely not the food.
Lloyd: I've never heard of

Nigerian cotton
as being something.

I mean,
let's be honest.

It's food or blankets.
You know what I mean?

I'll go with blankets.

I think blankets
makes the most sense.

‐Yeah.
‐Yeah.

Alright, so you said
Nigerian cotton blankets.

The correct answer is...

Ah.
Uh‐oh. Uh‐oh!

The correct answer is...

Nigerian movies.
Wow.

Kara: Okay.
Oops.

Alright.
Now, this is interesting,

because the Hustler
knew the correct answer

to this question,
but it didn't go through.

That's true.

So who, you must ask yourself,
was trying to steer?

Or was the Hustler
working the room a little bit?

Wow.

It's shockingly deceptive,
all of this, isn't it?

It's like you're in
northeast Nigeria,

but denying
you've ever been there.

Let's learn another morsel of
information about the Hustler.

The Hustler has the same
tiger tattoo as Tony Soprano.

♪♪

Ah! I know that tattoo.

Anybody here got tattoos?

♪♪

No.

Dude, you clearly have tattoos.

He's got to have tattoos.
Yeah.

I'm a giant hairball.

I can't just have tattoos.
You wouldn't see them.

People with hair
can have tattoos. Excuse me.

I have hairy areas of my body
that are also tattooed.

[ Laughter ]

Okay, then.
Touché.

Yeah.
Hope it's true.

You have tattoos?
I do. I have 10.

10? What kind of
tattoos do you have?

All scripture‐based
tattoos.

Scripture‐based tattoos
and a tiger.

No, no tiger.

I'm not into tigers.

Ethan, do you have
any tattoos?

My mom would murder me
if I got a tattoo.

You are playing a game with me.

I have nothing,
I swear.
Really?

Danielle:
What about you, Lloyd?

I have one tattoo.

Yeah, Lloyd.
Oh, the tiger.

Are you a big
"Sopranos" fan?

I am a "Sopranos" fan,

but honestly, I don't
think I could sit down

for the detail
that that required.

Oh, okay.

Do you have any tattoos there,
Kara?

I do not.
Really?

Come on, Kara.
Yeah.

You got a little one
somewhere.

I can't decide on one.
Uh‐huh.

The second question is...

Who made an appearance
on "The Sopranos"

before she became famous?

Was it Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande,

Selena Gomez,
or Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi?

Okay, we want to
win money, right, guys?

Definitely. I got to be honest,
I have no idea.

Me either.
I've only seen one episode.

One thing ‐‐
let's break it down.

Ariana Grande
and Selena Gomez

both have been on TV
before they became famous.

‐Okay.
‐But they're young.

I think they were
too young for that show.
Danielle: They're probably
too young.

There's a bunch of roles
you could possibly have.

You could still have ‐‐
Yes.

Kara: That's true.
[ Violin plays off‐key ]

Lloyd: And Lady Gaga, she's an
instrumentalist.

She's a producer.
She writes.

Is Snooki too obvious?
Like, the "Jersey Shore"?

Yes.

That's what I'm wondering.
Like, it seems like it could be,

but I don't know
if that's like ‐‐

Danielle: I honestly think
it's gonna be...

What about
Selena Gomez?

Yeah, I was gonna say
Selena or Ariana.

Yeah, it's between
those two.

I just think
they were too young,

'cause they were
on the Disney Channel.

I think
Selena Gomez.

That's what I think.
Selena Gomez.
Selena Gomez?

I don't know.
Yeah.
Selena Gomez.

♪ Time's up, you guys,
that's it, time's u‐u‐u‐up ♪

♪ You can't have any more time ♪

♪ You decide ♪

Did you decide?

Yes.
Who is it?

Selena Gomez.
Sure.

You guys said
it was Selena Gomez.

The correct answer is...

...not Selena Gomez.
Ahh.

[ Danielle laughs ]
Good Lord!

The correct answer is...

Lady Gaga.

Wow.
Lady Gaga.

So far, you've banked
no money whatsoever.

The first elimination of the
night is quickly approaching.

Who will stay? Who will go?

It all depends on the Hustler.

♪♪

So, my sweet, gullible guests,
with two questions down,

you have very impressively

amassed zero dollars!

[ Laughter ]

You'll get one more chance
to earn money

before the Hustler makes
their first big elimination.

So here's your third clue
of the night.

The Hustler always
goes Dutch on dates.

So is the Hustler empowered
or cheap or ‐‐ or Dutch?

[ Laughter ]
That's true.

Anthony.

You like to pay when
you're going on a date?

What about that
relationship you're in?

Yeah, with that particular one,
I like to pay.

Okay.
Yes.

But with others, you go Dutch?

You know, it's
a case‐by‐case scenario.

Okay, fair enough. Kara.

You like to go Dutch
on the date?

Well, I'm married,
so we have a joint bank account.

Is your spouse Dutch?

He is not Dutch.
Okay.

Do you go on a lot of dates?

No.

What about you, E?

Not really.
Really?

Lloyd, any dates?

I still date my wife.
We still date.
Okay.

But I end up paying
for everything, so...

Okay.
Yeah.

I honestly think
that Anthony,

you do look like you go Dutch
on dates, and you do, too.

Anthony: What is that
supposed to mean?

I'm just saying!
You are totally
profiling them.

Yeah, I think so.
It's the truth!
That's the game.
That's the game.

Danielle, you've been picking
on me since I've been on this.

You spoke up first.

I talk a lot.

That doesn't mean
I go Dutch on dates.

Well, they are the two
single people here, I think ‐‐

three single people.

I'm single
and a half.
Oh, okay.

That's true,
and you're in a relationship,

and you just said
you were single and a half?

I'm just saying.

I'm doomed.
Yeah. Alright.

Here is your third question.

Time magazine reports
women prefer meeting

where on first dates?

Do they prefer meeting in
a bar, park, coffee shop,

or a movie theater?

Don't be coy.

Most women need to
meet in public.

A park is public.

But the park, it doesn't
always have people.
Kind of creepy.

Park sounds creepy.

I took my wife on our first
date ‐‐ it was at a park.

Really?

The park is
kind of creepy, you guys.

Like, I would
never meet in the park.

No, I would never.

Anthony: And a movie theater's,
like, very '80s.

No one
does that anymore.

You can't talk
in a movie theater.
But then the bar...

Is presumptuous.

I think it might be
the bar.

I don't think so.
Really?

To kind of lighten up
a little bit.

Maybe to
lighten it up.
Social lubricant.

I think coffee shop
is a fair answer.
Ferguson: 30 seconds!

I think coffee shop
is safer. Daytime.

Like as opposed to bar,
nighttime.

But it says prefer meeting
where on the first date?

It doesn't say
time or day.

Doesn't matter. Coffee shops are
open 'til like 10:00 p. m.

They're fine.
It's a public place.

I would lean towards
coffee shop.

I'm leaning towards
coffee shop.

I think
it's coffee shop.
Yeah.

Ferguson: Alright.

You guys thought
it was the coffee shop.

Please be coffee shop.

Coffee shop.
The correct answer is...

coffee shop!

Yeah!
[ Cheering ]

$10,000!
Thank you, Magic Screen!

$10,000. $10,000.

Now. Now...
Now we got
a game.

Now you got a game.

So who was pushing for that?
Can we remember?

I threw it out,
for sure.

But I agreed immediately,
'cause it's a good answer.

I think it was a pretty easy
question, wasn't it?

Compared to
the other ones, yeah.

The other ones
were kind of hard.

Yeah, well, kind of hard
unless you're the Hustler,

'cause then you know the answer.
You know
the answer.

Lloyd, do you know
the answers?

No, Danielle.
Oh.

The Hustler might have
led you to the money,

but right now, the Hustler
is gonna lead you

right out of my study here.

It's time, I'm afraid,
for the first elimination.

In the drawer in front of you,

you will find a ballot
with all of your names.

Please place a check next to
the name you want to see

leave the game.

But for four of you,
the vote doesn't matter.

This is all about
what the Hustler puts down.

When you're finished with
your vote, pop it in there.

There you go. Thank you, Kara.

Now, guys, watch this.

This is where all
the money went.

You ready? And vote's away!

Ooh.

Anthony: Wow.

Take that, Internet!

Alright.

[ Laughter ]

Your fates are sealed,

and soon, one of you
will be leaving.

♪♪

The Hustler has eliminated...

♪♪

...Danielle!

Danielle, why do you think
the Hustler eliminated you?

Because I already
pointed them out.

Oh, yeah?
Mm‐hmm.

Who do you think it is?
Lloyd.

You think it's Lloyd?
Yeah.

Wow.
Mm‐hmm.

Okay, Lloyd.
Yeah.

Is it ‐‐ Is it you,
Lloyd?

Of course...not.

‐Ooh.
‐Wow.

Danielle: He's hard, huh?

Yeah,
he's hard to read.

He's a tough guy to read,
but so is everybody else,

'cause I thought it was you.

Well, we'll have to wait
and find out.

Would you, uh...
Come on.

Ohh.
Aww.

Alright, Danielle.
You have to go.

Bye!
Bye!

Bye, guys. Bye, guys.
Good luck!
Bye. Bye.

Bye. I have to say,
whoever the Hustler is,

he or she is a monster,

because that is
a very nice woman!

Kara: Yeah.

Lloyd, you're making me think
it's you now, as well,

'cause you're doing
that scary nod.

"Yes, she did." You're like
a Bond villain, Lloyd.

Can't tell.

Well, there is a bonus clue.

The Hustler plays
online chess every day.

♪♪

Bishop to...rook...four?

Hmm.

Is that ‐‐
Is that a chess move, Lloyd?

If there's
an open space.

You know a lot about chess.

A little bit.

Yeah?

Lloyd,
you are so cryptic.

Yeah.

You play chess, though.
I do not play chess.

I mean,
I know how to play chess.
He looks like
a chess player.

I mean, I play, like,
video games, but not chess.

There's a lot more game to play

before anyone can
declare checkmate.

Prepare yourselves for more
clues and many more questions,

and many more lies
are on the way ‐‐

and more money, probably, too.

Oh, more money.

♪♪

Ah!

With $10,000 in the pot,

the guest list
has been cut down to four.

So let's keep it moving
with this next clue

about the Hustler.

The Hustler has suffered
four concussions

from horseback riding
on an Amish farm.

Who looks like they
like horse riding here?

I like horse riding.

Yeah?
I'm from Texas.

Do you like horseback riding?

No,
I live in a city.

I wouldn't know
where to go horseback riding.

Wait a minute.
Which city you live in?

Philadelphia.

Where's the Amish community?

Pennsylvania.

Aha.
Exactly.

That's true.
And Ohio. And Ohio.

And Ohio,
but mainly in Pennsylvania.

That's true.
Oh, so sticking up
for the Amish community

'cause they let you
ride their horses.

Listen, my mom
is from Ohio, okay?

Ohh.
And I have been to
the Amish country in Ohio.

I loved it.
Lloyd: See? See?

But I'm terrified of horses,
simply put.

Giddy up, whoever it is,

because here is
your fourth question.

Which ceremony marks the end of
an Amish teenager's Rumspringa?

Is it baptism, the wedding,
circumcision, or a barn raising?

Oh.
Wow.

I think we can eliminate
circumcision.

Yeah, I don't think
that's an Amish thing.

And I have to imagine
they're not gonna force you

to marry someone after you go
sow your wild oats.

Um...

I'm kind of between
wedding and baptism,

'cause I feel like
they're religious ceremonies.

Right.
And barn raising,

I don't think
is a religious...

Yeah, like, what is
barn raising?

Yeah.

'Cause they do that anyway.

That's a part of their culture.

Just being raised
in a barn?

Yeah. Well, just...

doing yard work, barn work.

Ferguson: 30 seconds, you guys.
30 seconds.

A wedding kind of sounds like

it would be appropriate

after you've sown
your wild oats.

I can't imagine ‐‐ I don't think
that that culture does, like,

you know,
arranged marriages.

Maybe it's baptism.
I don't think so either.

Are we gonna do baptism?

Let's get this one right.
I buy that.

I mean, they're
a religious people.

But isn't baptism for, like,
a young human being?

Not necessarily.

Not nec‐‐ Yeah.

Okay, fine. Hey.
I'll go with Kara.

Time's up! That's it.

So your decision
you made was what?

[ Exhales deeply ]
Baptism.

Baptism?

You gave baptism
as the correct answer.

The correct answer is,
in fact...

baptism!

Nice!
$20,000 now in the pot.

Now we've got some money.
Ethan: Okay.

Nice.
Now we got some money.

Alright,
feeling good.

Which of you brought
that answer to the table?
Kara.

Well, I said baptism or wedding.
I could see either one.

Well, if you're a teenager,
and the end of Rumspringa

is circumcision,
you're not going back.

[ Laughter ]

‐Right.
‐Yeah.

You know, you're like...

So, we have another clue
about the Hustler.

Let's have a look at that.

The Hustler played
in a steel drum band

with the son of the high
commissioner to Jamaica.

Now, when I say
high commissioner to Jamaica,

that is actually the title
of the commissioner.

It's not the state
that the commissioner is in

while they're in Jamaica.

I want you
to understand that.

Do you hear
what I'm saying?

[ Jamaican accent ]
Ja, man.

Aw, yeah.

Alright.
Let's go to the next question.

Which of these songs
featuring a steel drum section

has won a Grammy award?

Is it "Kokomo,"
"Margaritaville,"

"The Banana Boat Song,"
or "Under the Sea"?

All of these songs sound like
they have a steel drum in them.

And that's why I'm a little bit
torn.

I mean, "Kokomo" has that
obvious kind of intro.
Beach Boys.

You know?

"Margaritaville"
is a Floridian song.
Yes.

"Under the Sea"
is "The Little Mermaid."

Great tune.
Right.

"The Banana Boat Song"?
I have no idea.

Ferguson: 30 seconds, guys!
30 seconds.

I think it's "Under the Sea."
Ethan: Really?

I want to put some money
in our bank.

Why do you think that?

I just ‐‐ I just remember
that crab singing the song.

Kara: Yeah.
Okay.

The lobster.
So, like a Disney ‐‐

Is it a lobster
or a crab?

I don't know,
but I remember this crab.

Yeah but did it feature
a steel drum?

Uh...

It was a little Calypso
kind of sound.

If Lloyd is feeling strong
about that,

I'm happy to go with that.

I don't know any better.

Time's up, you guys!

We're going with
"Under the Sea."

"Under the Sea?"

You guys said "Under the Sea."

The correct answer...

"Under the Sea"!

‐Yes!
‐Ohh!

[ Applause ]
Nicely done.

Amazing!
Lloyd: Look at
the bank, guys.

$30,000! That's right!
$30,000 in the pot.
Okay. Okay.

[ Exhales deeply ]
Hmm.

Who banged the drum
for that answer?

Can I ask?
Lloyd.

Who was pushing that?

But he went through a whole ‐‐
He went through ‐‐

methodically went through
every single song.
Yeah.

Like, he knew it.
He just wanted to back off.

So I kind of knew,
between "Kokomo"

and "Under the Sea,"
maybe "Margaritaville,"

but I just remember that crab
in my head.

You just did
the same thing I do.

You just went through
every single song.

But you did it first.
But you did it first.

...to know that fun fact
about the Grammys.

I don't watch
awards shows.

Alright, the next clue
to the Hustler's identity is...

The Hustler lived on
this boat for six months

with no electricity or plumbing.

Let's see the boat.

This boat.

♪♪

Yeah, okay.

Here's the sixth question.

Which of these was
number one on the list

of most popular boat names
in the U. S. in 2020?

Was it Hakuna Matata, Serenity,

Island Time, or Black Pearl?

What do you think?

My instinct says
Serenity.

That was mine
as well.

Black Pearl, random.

Island Time ‐‐

Not everyone on a boat's
going to island.

Hakuna Matata
is 1994.

What do you think, Lloyd?

I think Anthony's made
some great points here.

Serenity, after being
in 2020...

I know the Black Pearl
was from the movie...

"Pirates of
the Caribbean," right?

Ferguson: 30 seconds.
Kara, do you know?

I was kind of thinking,
like, Island Time,

but Serenity
makes sense, too.

Island Time?

Well...
Why are you thinking
Island Time?

I‐I don't know.

I was just thinking boats,

like, hang around on an island,
but...

I like Serenity. You like
Serenity. You like Serenity.

That's what I would
name my boat.

If you're gonna ‐‐
Like, go with you.

Ferguson: 10 seconds!
Don't go with me.

'Cause I'm really
not sure.

Time's up! The final answer
on the boat is...?

Serenity.

You all think Serenity?
Serenity, yeah.

You guys said
it was Serenity.

The correct answer was...

[ Gasps ] Serenity!

Ohh!
Okay!

[ Applause ]

Nice.
Nicely done, team.

Now $40,000 in the pot.
Okay!

Did anyone push for
it not being Serenity?

Kara was
the non Serenity.

You were a little bit
Island Time, yeah.

I thought maybe Island Time,
but I didn't know.

Yeah, but, look,
you knew that

nobody's gonna
buy Island Time.

Why?

Kara could have
just been like...

"I don't know,
Island Time."

I genuinely
just didn't know.

Anyway, you guys have ‐‐
Four questions remain...

[ Exhales deeply ]
...and right now,

one of you is gonna be heading
home with absolutely nothing.

Yep, it's the moment
you've been dreading ‐‐

the Hustler's
second elimination.

Please retrieve your ballots
from the drawer under the table.

Put a checkmark
on the ballot

next to the name
of the player

Thank you, Ethan.

Thank you, Lloyd.

I'll take yours, Kara.

Ready?
Yep.

Okay. Stick it in there.

And now,
the action part of the game.

Away!

[ Tube hisses ]

Ahh.
Man, I love that.

[ As a pirate ] So...

while the Hustler once

in a few short moments,
one of you four

shall walk the plank.

Alright. We have

Ethan: Ooh.
Whoa.

[ Exhales deeply ]
[ Chuckling ] Oh‐ho‐ho.

Lloyd, I am so sorry.

I gotta say,
that comes as a shock to...

well, you, obviously...
Yes, yes.

...but I think
to a lot of people.

Why do you think
the Hustler got rid of you?

I was onto them.

Yeah?
Who do you think it is?

I think it's Kara.

Wow, really?
I think it's Kara.

She's been quiet,

and she doesn't fit any of
the stereotypical....

Yeah, I know,
but it seemed ‐‐

And she lives close
to an Amish community.

I really don't.
So...

Anthony:
Oh, I don't know.

Lloyd, I'm so sorry.

It's been nice,
guys.

Alright.
Pleasure, Lloyd.

Kara: Aww.
Alright. Sorry, pal.

Four questions are left

before you attempt to uncover
the Hustler's identity.

Here's the next clue
about the Hustler.

The Hustler was offered ‐‐
but turned down ‐‐

the chance to be a professional
"Mario Kart" player.

Wow.

Right now, teenage boys
across America are screaming,

"Who would do such a thing?

Turn down the..."

Well, I don't know,

teenage girls may be
shouting that, too.

Wait, somebody said
they played video games.

I'm regretting it.

Oh, yeah,
that's right.

Which would have been
a dumb thing to say
if I was the Hustler,

knowing that
this was coming.
Would it have been, though?

Would it, though?
Would it have been, though?

Here's my thing ‐‐

Like, I want to, like,
trust you, Kara.

Like, it seems so obvious
that it's not you to all these,

but then I'm like,

"Could this be one huge, massive
red herring and you're, like,

the most interesting person
in the world?"

You know what I mean?
Totally.

Thanks, but these clues
are making me feel

really
uninteresting.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

But, real quick, who do you
play in "Mario Kart"
when you're playing?

Toad.

Okay.
Yoshi.

Okay.
Who do you play?

I don't ‐‐ I don't really
have a character.

Oh, but ‐‐
You don't have a character?

You play video games,
but you don't have a character?

Even I have a character
in "Mario Kart."

Who is your character,
Craig?

I play Yoshi, too.

Of course you do.
Yes!

Who do you think
the Hustler is, Kara?

I honestly thought
it was Lloyd,

but I feel like Ethan's
being a little cagey

by saying earlier
that he played video games

but now saying he doesn't have
a "Mario Kart" character.

Everyone has
a "Mario Kart" character.
I mean, I play it,

but, like, I don't have
a person I like.

You have a different character
every time you play, Ethan?

What kind of answer
is that, though, bro?

Let's be honest, dude.
I don't know.

Kara, do you play
video games at all?

No. I definitely grew up playing
"Mario Kart" with my brother.

You did?
This is the thing.

If she is the Hustler,
she is, like, a sociopath,

you know what I mean?

Well,
if you're the Hustler,

it doesn't hurt to be
a sociopath, to be fair.

No offense. Like,
you would be ‐‐ Oh, man.

Ethan, your enthusiasm is
throwing me off, though, bro.

I know.
Now I feel like it's you.

Alright, alright,
alright.

Now I feel like
it's Ethan.

I know, I know, I know.
Let's move on.

Kara: Yeah.
No, trust me, me, too.

Let's move on.
Anthony: Okay.

Let's race on Rainbow Road

to our next question.

[ Laughs ]
Okay.

That was a "Mario Kart"
reference. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
Alright.

Who was elected president
in the year

"Super Mario Kart" was released?

Was it George H. W. Bush,

Ronald Reagan,
Bill Clinton, or George W. Bush?

I'm gonna rule out
George W. Bush.

Yes.
Kara: Yeah.

It would make sense
if it was

Bill Clinton
or Ronald Reagan.

Reagan is too ‐‐
I think that's too early.
I don't think Reagan.

Because that was,
like, the '80s.
Yeah.

and that was like,
original game.

It was the end
of the '80s, though.

I ‐‐ Instinct,
I'm like, Bill Clinton.

Okay.
What's your instinct, Kara?

I ‐‐ I think that's around,
like, the right time frame.

I mean, those were
the best days of my life,

you know what I mean?

He was, like, the president.
I was 7.

It was early '90s,

and that's when
the Super Nintendo was around.

Ferguson: 30 seconds!
I think you're right.

I think it's Bill Clinton.

I'll agree with you guys.
Bill Clinton?

I think you're right.

Okay, I think so, too.

Okay. Go team.
Okay, let's do it.

[ As Bill Clinton ] You guys
think it was Bill Clinton.

[ Normal voice ]
The correct answer was...

Bill Clinton! Oh!

Nice.
Makes sense.
Makes sense.

Man!
Alright, so that takes us to ‐‐

$50,000 is in the pot.

That's awesome.
Awesome.

Here's your next clue
about the Hustler.

The Hustler attended a cosplay
event in this unicorn onesie.

This is interesting.

Aha.

I need you to close your eyes
and imagine.

Who do you see in
that unicorn onesie?

Kara.

Oh, I was gonna say you.

You see me
in that thing?

I could see
either of you guys.
Give me a break.

It wouldn't even fit me,
probably, with my hair.

Oh, and I don't
have long hair?

Here's your next question.

Which of these is a term
for a group of unicorns?

An exaltation of unicorns,
a flurry of unicorns,

a blessing of unicorns,
or a wonderment of unicorns?

I have no earthly idea.

I don't have
any idea either.
I have no clue.

The only two words that seem
like they could be it

would be wonderment
or exaltation.

My instinct was flurry.
I don't know why.

You know,
like a flock of birds...
Really?

...or like a murder of crows ‐‐
a flurry of unicorns.

Flurry of unicorns?

I'm just throwing it
out there.
That's the only one

I was thinking of
eliminating, honestly.

Okay, great. Then forget it.
I'm sorry.

Okay, let's say it out loud ‐‐
a wonderment of unicorns.

Sure. Yeah.
That's bizarre.

A blessing of unicorns.
Let's not do that one.

Yeah, I can ‐‐ lose that.

An exaltation of unicorns?
I don't think that feels right.

Ferguson: 10 seconds.
Exaltation and wonderment,
maybe?

What do you like?
Wonderment?

What do you like?

I‐I honestly have no idea.

What do you like, Anthony?

Dude, I don't know.

Time's up!

I need an answer,
or no money goes in.

You're gonna have
to choose one.

You can just take one
for the team, bro.

Oh, you're gonna
put it on me?

Just do it, dawg.

I'll say flurry, then.
That was my instinct.

You guys said
a flurry of unicorns.

[ Exhales deeply ]

The correct answer is a...

Not flurry.
I'm sorry, guys.
I apologize.

It is a...

blessing.
Oh, geez.

Whoa.
Kara: I never...

Okay, my bad.

That was, like,
the last one I thought.
Actually, that was weird,

because I don't think anyone
went with blessing.

‐No.
‐No one said that.

Somebody knew.
You guys are forgetting this.

The Hustler knew the correct
answer to that question.

Let me put it to you, Hustler,
whoever you are ‐‐

that you let it go,
for some reason.

You felt, perhaps,
it was too obvious?

We said it
all out loud.

If you gave us
that answer on purpose...

No one said blessing.
...I will go crazy.

Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
Kara: Yeah.

We all didn't know
the answer, literally.

Well, someone did.

You've been a productive
team member, for sure.
Thank you very much.

I think you have been, too.
Thank you so much.

Kara, I can't say
the same thing.

I know.
I'm sorry.

He's calling you a team member,
which means...

he's putting it
away from him.

He's trying to form
an alliance with you.

I know.
You know? Maybe...

Because Kara seems like
she could be the Hustler.

Yeah, but ‐‐
I'm really not.

[ Laughs ]
I really didn't know
the answer.

Really? You're gonna look around
with those innocent eyes?

That's really making
it hard, Kara.
Those unicorn eyes?

[ Scoffs ]

As we enter the home stretch
of this game,

you have $50,000 in the bank.

Two trivia questions are left,

but the Hustler
is still on the loose.

Their maniacal plan
is still in effect ‐‐

fool the players,
steal the money.

But can they maintain
their cover?

Can anybody
catch the Hustler?

Very interesting,
at this point.

I really,
genuinely don't know.

Only three players
remain in the study,

and I am positive
that one of you is the Hustler.

So far, you have
stashed away $50,000.

Now there are only two chances
left to up that number

and root out the Hustler.

To help out,
here's the next clue

about the Hustler's identity.

The Hustler took a 4:00 a. m.
train to the Super Bowl parade

for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Wow.

I can't remember
where everybody's from.

Where are you from?
Los Angeles?

And you're from...?
Here.

Los Angeles?
Yes.

Where are you from?
Philadelphia.

Oh, boy.

Yeah.
Is that too obvious?

A little bit.

Are you
an Eagles fan?

I definitely support
all the Philly teams.

Are you a football fan,
Anthony?

No, I'm not
a sports fan.

Are you
an Eagles fan?

No, not at all.
Really?

Yes.
You like football?

Look at me.
I'm not a sports guy.

It doesn't matter
how you look, okay?
Okay.

Yeah, it doesn't matter
how you look.
Sports attracts all people.

Kara, we'll get to you
in a second.

Ferguson: Oh, okay. Okay.
Okay.

I'm sorry, Craig.
I thought this was your show.

Alright.
This is crazy right now.

It's a little tense.
There's money around.

It's real money,
and it's...

You know,
it's all fun and games until ‐‐

We're getting close now,
though.

Let's look at
the next question.

A Philly taco is
a cheesesteak sandwich

wrapped in which
of these things?

Is it a pretzel,
a slice of pizza,

a quesadilla, or bacon?

Okay, let's just ‐‐ Anthony,
you pause for a second

and, like, you just
tell us the answer.

I obviously know
what the answer is.
Great, tell us.

It's pizza.
Done.

Yeah.
Really, Kara?

You're just gonna throw out
the answer like that?

She's from Philly!
I'm from Philadelphia.

There's no reason why
she wouldn't know that answer.

Yeah, I know,
but how did you know

that we could just be quiet
for a second

and she would
give us the answer?

Because, like, cheesesteak
is, like,

the national food of Philly.

I know, dude.
Okay.

Okay. I've had
a Philly cheesesteak.

Anthony, I don't want
to argue with you.
Just give me one second.

This question does not tell
if you're the Hustler or not.

All ‐‐ I know
you're from Philly.

There's no way you wouldn't
know this answer,

so let's just
get the money and move on.

I would rather just
get the money and move on.

Absolutely. I get it.
I feel like I can finally

contribute to these answers.

Yeah, great.
Okay, Kara.
Thank you for the answer.

Ferguson: 10 seconds!
Yeah, thank you for
your service.

Oh. You're welcome.

Ferguson: So you guys agree?

And you guys said it was
slice of pizza.

The correct answer is...

a slice of pizza!

Of course it is.

Thank you, Kara.
Best drunk food ever.

$60,000 in the bag!
Awesome.

Yeah.

I have to say,
I knew the answer to that,

and I'm not from Philly.

Wow.

You didn't know
the answer to that?

I wasn't sure.

I was gonna guess pizza.

Yeah.
Although I have to say,

all the other ones
sounded equally delicious.

Yes, they did.
Agreed.

They did, right?
I'd eat all of those.

I didn't even
read the answers,

'cause I was like, we have
the Encyclopedia Brown
here from from Philly.

Right. Yeah.

If that's true,
and you think it's fair...

Yeah.

...suddenly, I think
I'm looking at you, Anthony.

You're looking at me?
I know.

I'm just looking at you.
I don't have any power here.

I got to look at you, right?
I'm the host.

They just made that happen,
and I agreed at the very end.

Oh, boy,
you are outraged all the time.
Hmm.

Isn't he always outraged?
I know.
What's going on with you?

I'm not trying
to be antagonistic.

You're throwing me off
a little bit.

Okay, sorry.
I trusted you
in the beginning,

and now I'm all
freaked out about this.
Oh, okay.

[ Both chuckle ]

Are you enjoying yourself?

I really am.

I know, yeah.

I might need
a drink after this.

Yeah.
Whew!

Me, too.
Well, I have to say...

Yeah. For real.
Whoever wins is buying.

I have to say...
Ethan.

...if it's you,
you're doing a great job.

Yes.
I agree.

Ethan:
I just want to win money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I agree.

After nine questions,
you have banked $60,000.

[ Breathes deeply ]

One piece of trivia remains.

Oh, man.

But it is not worth $10,000.

If you get the next one correct,
I'm gonna double the pot.

I'm gonna take the number up
to $120,000.

But can the Hustler get it
up there without getting caught?

Remember, they know the answer.

Or maybe their strategy will be

to steer you
the wrong way on purpose,

to get the scent
off their trail.

In that case,
you'll get it incorrect,

and then I'm gonna cut
the pot to 30 grand.

♪♪

So now you know why
"The Hustler" is so diabolical

and why I'm having so much fun.

[ Laughter ]

Here's the final clue
about the Hustler.

The Hustler has a Chinese water
dragon named Chubby.

Let's have a look. Do we have
a photograph of Chubby?

There he is.
Chinese water dragon.

Is that a reptile
or is it an amphibian?

What is it?
I don't know.

The tenth
and final question is ‐‐

Used to regulate temperature,
Chinese water dragons

have a pineal gland
that functions as a third what?

Ear, nostril, lung, or eye?

Use these 60 seconds wisely.

They are your last.

Go.

Uh...guys.

That's a ridiculously
challenging question.

I know. What...

Can we eliminate anything?

I feel like lung would be
a weird thing

to have an extra one of,
right?

To me, a nostril
makes sense,

but, you know,
I gotta be honest, dude,

even if I had
a Chinese water dragon,

I don't think I would...
Ferguson: 30 seconds!

Guys, we can't leave
the money on the table.

Right.
It could cut this in half.

What's everyone's, like,
top answer?

I would say my top answer
is lung.

Is it?
Really?

Oh, God. Okay, no.
Pineal gland.

I just think it would be a weird
thing to have an extra one of.

Okay.
So then, nostril?

I'm between
nostril and eye.

Okay. What do you think,
Anthony?
I really don't know.

Ferguson: 10 seconds!
Oh, my God.
Come on.

Nostril and eye is
what we're debating on.

Really? Between those?
Kara: Pick one.

Between those two,
I'm gonna say nostril.
Okay.

But I don't know, guys.
Come on.

We're all
working together.

So, let's have it.
What is it?

Nostril or eye?
What is it gonna be?

Nostril.

Nostril, fine.

[ Whispering ] Nostril.

Ferguson:
You guys said nostril.

The correct answer is...

♪♪

The correct answer
is not nostril?

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Ooh.

It's not?
I would have sworn it was.

What is it?

The correct answer is...

a third eye?

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.
What a bummer.

Wow. A third eye?

I thought that was
a yoga thing.

Ethan:
Gosh, that's...

I never would have thought.
Oh, my gosh.

Anthony: Wow.
Whoever's hustling right now

just really went off
the deep end

and went crazy
in their hustle.

Well, we still have $30,000
in the pot here.
Yeah, that's true.

[ Sighs ]
$30,000 is a lot of money.

Let's not forget that.

That was a next‐level hustle
right there.

Yeah. For sure.
For sure.

That was a ridiculous hustle,
in my opinion.

But the trivia portion
of the competition is done.

The game is not yet over,
though.

You have netted $30,000.
That's real money.

It's a pretty impressive payday,
whatever way you look at it.

Prepare yourselves, though,

because the power in the study
is about to shift.

♪♪

Kara, Anthony, Ethan ‐‐

my final three guests,

with $30,000 on the line.

Brace yourself for
the fight of your lives.

Either two of you
will split the cash,

or the Hustler will steal it
all away for themself.

But before I allow you to spar,

let's review what we've learned
about the Hustler.

The Hustler worked in
counterterrorism in Nigeria.

They have the same tattoo
as Tony Soprano.

They always go Dutch on a date.

They lived on a boat.

They took a 4:00 a. m. train
to cheer the Eagles

in their Super Bowl parade.

There is a tile on the table

with the other players'
names on it.

Please show the name of
who you believe is the Hustler.

♪♪

Well, well, well.

Anthony and Kara

both believe that Ethan

is the Hustler.

Ethan believes

that Anthony is the Hustler.

Ooh, boy.
My palms are sweaty.

Ethan.

I don't know whether or not
you're the Hustler.

I genuinely don't know.

But right now,
none of that matters.

You have two minutes to try
and convince one of those two

that you're not the Hustler,

but also who you think
the Hustler really is.

You have two minutes.

Go.
Kara, it's Anthony.

And let me tell you why
before you chime in.

I'm on
the chopping block.

Why would I say I play video
games before, knowing that

the video game "Mario Kart"
question was coming?

Why would you say you're
from Philly

and then know that
an Eagles thing is coming?

I have never been to Nigeria.
I never played steel drums.

I never had ‐‐
I'm a married man.

I don't have a Komodo dragon.
I have a dog and a baby.

Kara, listen,
I thought it was you at first.

I'm totally down.

I know that you're with me
on this team.

Ethan is a little bit
too exuberant.

He's agreeing with everything
we've been saying.

I can see someone like him
being shady

and wanting to, like,
lose money for everyone

because he already
has a wife and a kid.

His life is already good.
My life is horrible.
[ Kara laughs ]

We need to have
this money together, okay?

And I want to go
visit you in Philly

and have drinks, just like
we're gonna do after this.
Kara ‐‐ Kara ‐‐

Yeah. Oh, my God.
Kara, if you think
it's Ethan...

Are you crying because
you're being honest?

Because I need you ‐‐
Hang on.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.

You're really stopping?

We're married!
We don't go on Dutch dates.

We have shared bank accounts.

I am...
He wears a unicorn ‐‐

From the bottom of
my heart,

I need this money.

He's ‐‐ Nigeria.

He's been so combative...
He's a seedy, lying guy.

Yeah.

He's a good‐looking dude.
He looks like Clark Kent.

the Hustler.

Honestly, it's him.

Kara, would you
have done that,

to where we lost
half of our money?

Would you have
done that?

Definitely not.
Definitely not.
Me either!

But, Anthony,
you said nostril.

You said nostril
and the other one,

the other right answer,
when you were talking about

the ones that you
thought it would be.

Dude, you know I had no idea
how to answer that question.

Yes, you threw that out there.
I've never even seen

Kara, please,
honestly, it's him.

Kara, listen. I need the money,
you need the money.
Ferguson: 10 seconds.

I'm a nerd. I've never been
