- If you like trivia,

then this is the game for you.

And if you like
cat-and-mouse games,

then this is also
the game for you.

However, if you're not too sure
about Craig Ferguson,

then, well, go back,
watch some of my earlier stuff.

I--I really think
you'll come around,

and then you'll see

this is definitely
the game for you.

This is "The Hustler."

[dramatic string music]

♪ ♪

[cheers and applause]

Good evening.

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

a game that's a puzzle
wrapped in an enigma

that's tattooed in mystery.

Tonight, I will ask you
ten trivia questions,

each worth $10,000,

and you will work together
to solve them.

However, one of you is
secretly the Hustler.

That person already knows
the answers to every question

because they are all inspired

by the Hustler's life
and interests.

Now, the Hustler
doesn't want to be found out,

because if they can remain
undetected until the end,

they'll take home
all of the money.

But if the final two of you

can undercover
the Hustler's identity,

then you'll split
that final paycheck,

and the Hustler won't get
a penny.

I say "final two,"

because the Hustler
will eliminate two of you

along the way.

Before we kick this off,
though,

how about we all
meet each other?

Troy, if that's
your real name...

- [laughs]

- Is that your name, Troy?
- It is my real name.

- What do you do for a living,
Troy?

- I am a salesman.

- Are you the Hustler, Troy?
- No.

You know, I could be,
but so could all of them,

and that's the fun
of this game,

isn't it,
is to figure that out?

- That's my job, man.
Knock it off.

- [laughs]
- That's what I do.

What do you do for a living,
Til?

- I'm a success coach.
- A success coach?

- Yes, I work with

first-generation
college students

and low-income college students

and help them become
successful.

- Now, that's not...
[applause]

Well, hold on.

Hold on, we don't know
if he's telling the truth.

That may be a whole lot of...
- [laughs]

- That may be a whole lot of
hustle going on there.

Tena.
- Yes?

- What do you do for a living?
- I am a math consultant.

I consult teachers
who teach math.

- You teach teachers
to teach math?

- I teach them how to teach it,
not math,

but I teach them
how to teach math.

- What a time to be alive,
Tena.

- It is!
[laughter]

- All right.

Tim.
- Yep.

- Did you shave
before you came here today?

- I did.
It grows that fast.

- It grows that fast, does it?
- Yeah.

- What do you do for a living,
Tim?

- I work construction.

- Are you the Hustler?
- No.

- Mm.
All right, young lady.

You are Bri?

Do they call you Bri?
- Bri, yep.

- After the cheese?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
Are you the Hustler?

- I guess we'll find out.
- Is that a yes?

'Cause that would--that would
be a really quick game

if you went, "Yeah, it's me."

- I'm not admitting a thing.
- Okay.

Well, you all come across
as very sweet people,

although one of you
is lying through your teeth.

But who is it?

Let's give you some help
with this first clue

about the Hustler.

Magical Bookcase,
reveal the first clue.

"The Hustler isn't on
any social media."

Well, it's definitely Troy.
Good night, everybody.

[laughter]

Are you on social media, Troy?
- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, you are?
- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, okay.
What, you got the "tweeties"

and the Myspace and stuff?
- No, I don't--I don't tweet.

I Facebook.

- All right.
- Yep.

- Everybody here is
on social media, aren't they?

- Most definitely.

I'm on Instagram,
all that stuff.

Yep.
- All right.

What do you think, Tim?
Any of these people

look like they might not be
on social media?

- Well, he already said
what he's on and more,

and his eyebrows went up

when you first mentioned
the Hustler.

So I already got my eye on him,

but that might not--not
mean anything.

- So we're going for
an eyebrow-based game, are we?

- Well, it was very subtle,
but the eyebrow went up.

- Quick to accuse on that one,
though.

- I--I have to say, though,
Tim,

that's the right idea.

Look for the tells.

- Or to throw everybody off
of ol' Tim over here.

- Right.
- He's pointing that finger.

- Also very good, Tena.
You guys don't need me at all.

All right, here is your first
of three questions

before the Hustler makes
their first elimination.

Remember, each question
is worth $10,000.

"Which celebrity purchased
Myspace in 2011

and later sold it?"

Was it Ashton Kutcher,
Justin Timberlake,

Jay-Z, or Dr. Dre?

Remember, the Hustler
knows the answer.

Begin now.

- Well, my--
- It's--I do know this.

- Is it Ashton Kutcher?
- No, it's Justin Timberlake...

- Okay.
- Because I remember when

the movie came out,
"The Social Network,"

he was in it, and after,
he wanted to buy Myspace.

There was a whole article.
- Gotcha.

- I'm a teacher.
I taught about it.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.

- And so I remember this.

100% that's who it is.
- That's the two--

I thought it was Ashton Kutcher
or Justin Timberlake.

- Those were my two as well.
- Yeah, so I agree.

- I'll go with that.
- I agree as well.

- All right.
- Justin Timberlake.

- You guys all agree?
- Yes.

- The question was,
"Which celebrity

purchased Myspace in 2011
and later sold it?"

You all believe it is
Justin Timberlake, yes?

- Yes.
- Yep.

[tense music]

- The correct answer,
is it Justin Timberlake?

It is Justin Timberlake!
- Whoo! Yeah!

- $10,000!
- Money!

- And let the game begin.

Now that's good.
- Bring in the money.

- But let's remember,

the Hustler knew the answer
to that question.

Does that force Brianna
into the crosshairs there?

Does it?
- Yes, and she also led us

into the discussion,
so now I'm kind of looking

over at Brianna like, "What
else do you know, Brianna?"

Are you the Hustler?
- I know a lot.

I'm just a smart girl.
- Yeah, me too, Brianna.

I'm with ya, girl.
- All right.

Let's look at the second clue

about the Hustler's identity.

Magical Bookcase.

"The Hustler has
four chickens named

Mrs. Butterbean, Destiny,
Riot, and Party."

- Oh.

[chickens clucking]

- These are the exact chickens.

- Where did you say
you were from?

- I'm from Augusta, Georgia.

- Georgia?
- Georgia.

- There's some--there's
some farms

out in Georgia, aren't there?

- Do you have to have a farm
to have chickens?

- I don't think so.
Just 'cause I'm Southern

doesn't mean I've got chickens.

- Tim looks like someone
who would name a chicken Riot.

- You know, I have to say,
Tim looks like a guy

that might have a chicken.
I'm--I'm just saying, Tim.

You do look--look...
- I like chickens.

- That's not an insult.
That's a nice thing.

All right, well,
that's some information.

The Hustler keeps chickens.

Here's your next question.

[curious music]

"Which 'Muppet Show' character
fell madly in love

with Camilla the Chicken?"
- I know this.

- Was it Rowlf, Gonzo,

Fozzie, or Beaker?

- It's Gonzo.
- You know--okay, you know?

- I'm a huge Jim Henson fan.
- Okay.

- It's Gonzo for sure, 100%.
- Are we sure it's not Fozzie?

- Gonzo is the one
with the nose.

- No, it's Gonzo
with the big nose,

and he carries
his little white chicken.

- I don't watch the Muppets.
- I love the Muppets.

- I can't help. I'm sorry.
- Who's--who's Rowlf?

Rowlf?
- Rowlf is a dog.

- Okay.
- And Gonzo has the nose,

and he carries a white chicken.

I'm a 100% positive on this.
- Tena seems pretty sure.

I think we should go with it.
- That's Camilla the chicken?

- Camilla the Chicken.
- Okay.

- I--I love Jim Henson.
- All right.

- I'm gonna go with you.
- I'm going with you, then.

Yeah, 'cause I don't know.
- It's Gonzo.

- All right,
if you guys all agree,

let's have a look at it.

You are saying it's Gonzo.

Is Gonzo the correct answer?

Gonzo is the correct answer!
$20,000!

- Girls! Oh, yeah!
- What a team!

All right,
$20,000 has been bagged.

- Ooh.
- Theories are being formed.

[suspenseful music]

The game is afoot.

Anything can happen.

♪ ♪

[cheers and applause]

- So far, you guys
have answered two questions,

and you have put $20,000
in the bank.

That is very, very good.

We have one more question

before the Hustler makes
their first elimination.

Here is the next clue
about the Hustler's identity.

"The Hustler lost 55 pounds
on the keto diet."

What is the keto diet?
I don't know.

I'm guessing none of you know
either.

Well, somebody does
'cause somebody here

lost 55 pounds.

And I'd like to say,
hats off to you,

whoever you are,
'cause that isn't easy.

Hmm, nobody wants to fess up
to it, though.

- It's low-carb.
I know that.

- I know it's no bread.

My brother was looking
into doing it,

so I know it was low-carb...
- No bread.

- And sugars or something.

- Hmm, all right.
Well, here's the next question.

"Which of these foods
has the highest number

of net carbs per ounce?"

Veal, Muenster cheese,
oysters, or eggs?

- I'm thinking eggs, right?
Eggs.

- I have no idea.
- Eggs are really low-carb,

and eggs--
- Yeah, I don't understand

'cause cheese is low-carb.
It's high-fat.

- So is it oysters?
- I do know that.

- Okay.
- But all of those things look

low-carb to me,
so I'm not sure.

I don't know anything
about veal or oysters, though.

- Veal doesn't have
that much fat, right?

- Yeah.
- That's--what, is that carbs?

- No, fat's different
than carbs.

- So things that make sugar
make carbs,

but Muenster cheese--I eat
Muenster cheese all the time,

and I am not skinny.

So I'm gonna say maybe
that has high carbs or oysters.

I don't know.
I would think oysters, eggs,

and veal are all meats.
I don't know.

both: Yeah.
- I mean, cheese is

the only thing that's not--

- But--but you can have cheese
on low-carb diets.

Maybe Muenster's different.
I don't know.

- I'll need you to agree on
something.

- I will agree with whatever
the group agrees with.

I have no clue.

- I, uh--I eat veal, eggs.

- The Hustler knows.
- Cheese is good.

I don't eat oysters.

That's the only thing
I don't know about.

- Okay, time's up.
- What do we think?

- Yes, anyone--throw an answer
out. We'll go with it.

- No one knows about oysters.
You want to go with oysters?

- Oysters, oysters, yes.
- Oysters, okay.

"Which one of these foods

has the highest number of
net carbs per ounce?"

You guys said it was oysters.

Is oysters the correct answer?

It is...

the correct answer!

- Golly!
I had no idea.

- Wow.

- That's a lucky guess,
if I've ever--

- Again, again, that--
- No clue.

- That was the last thing
you said there.

- Yeah, yeah,
I--I was gonna say,

it seems like an unusual fact
to know, Til.

- Well, I don't think
that I knew it.

I was kind of following
off of Troy,

because when I said eggs
originally,

everybody shot it down.

But Troy was listing facts

throughout the whole question.
- Right.

'Cause remember, of course,

the Hustler knows the answer,
so the Hustler wants

the correct answer
to get through.

- So yeah, I definitely
didn't know that as a fact.

- All right, $30,000 in
the bank, which is fantastic.

That's the maximum you can get
at this point.

And one of you will definitely
not see a penny of it,

because right now,
the Hustler...

is about to make
their first elimination.

In the table in front of you

are ballots with
all of your names on.

I want you to mark the player

you want to see gone
from the game.

But despite who you choose,

the only decision
that actually matters

is the Hustler's.

When you're done,
give it to me,

and I'll send it
to the powers that be.

There you go.
All right.

Now watch this.

I take this, I put it here,
and...

[dramatic music]

- Ooh.
- Yeah!

- Magic.

- The Hustler has made
his or her choice.

That information is now
in the Magical Bookcase.

♪ ♪

One of you will be eliminated.

♪ ♪

The eliminated player is...

- [gasps]
- Troy!

- Oh.
- Whoa! Oh, Troy.

My dear boy.

I really thought it was you.
- Well, you know,

it--it's not, obviously.
- Yeah.

- And I hope they catch Tim
before it's too late.

- Oh, you think it's Tim?
- Ooh.

- Why--why would he get rid
of you?

'Cause you--you--
you were on to him?

- He thinks I'm on to him,
obviously.

- Is that true, Tim?
- No.

- He's hiding behind
that beard.

- Well, only his chin.

- This beard offers a lot but--
- He might be hiding.

You think he's hiding behind
that beard?

- I--I don't think so.

- He had a lot to say
to Til too.

- Oh, me?
- You're still on my radar.

Yeah.
- Oh, okay.

- I came here with a smile
on my face.

I'm gonna leave with a smile
on my face.

- Troy, you're a--
you're a good person,

and at least we know
you're honest.

- Well...
- Thank you, Troy.

Come on, pal.
Come on.

Don't worry.
It--it won't hurt or anything.

Just stand there.
Look at me, Troy.

Look at me.
Nothing bad's gonna happen.

both: Ah!

- Bye, Troy.
[applause]

- Now listen.

[curious music]

Now I'm pissed,
'cause he was a nice guy.

He was the nicest one
of all of you.

[laughter]

Ah, anyway.

$30,000 is in the bank.

Your overall picture
of the Hustler

may be a little hazy
at the moment,

but more clues
will be coming your way.

- Welcome back.

You have $30,000 in the bank.

You better keep an eye
on each other

because there's only
three more questions

until the Hustler eliminates
another player.

Let's see what our next clue
tells us

about the Hustler's identity.

"The Hustler writes poetry."

Well, well, well.

Anybody here look like
they might write poetry?

Come on!

- I was thinking Til.

Til looks sensitive.
Look at him.

- Yeah, he does.
- He got sensitive eyes too.

- Oh, man, what the--
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Different show. Different show.
- Oh, sorry. Sorry.

- You do have sensitive eyes,
though.

You do.
- Why, thank you so much.

- Do you write poetry
with those sensitive eyes?

- I do not write poetry.
- Okay.

- You write anything?
- I write music.

- Oh, isn't music--music's
somewhat poetry.

- Ah, yeah, but I feel like
poetry and music

are two different art forms.
- Oh.

- It's still art, though.
- Well...

- Ehh.
- Bri, you're keeping quiet.

Keeping very quiet, Bri.

- I'm using that brain
and thinking.

- I don't know. If I've learned
anything on this show,

it's, uh, be careful
about the quiet ones.

all: Oh.
- Just saying.

- That's a good point.
- 'Cause she spoke up

a little bit earlier
but has kept quiet so far.

- It's true,
that first question.

- All right, well, we know
the Hustler writes poetry.

- I don't know.

- Let's go
to the next question.

"What is the birth name of
poet and musician Bob Dylan?"

Is it Robert Allen Moskowitz,

Robert Allen Zimmerman,
Robert Allen Liebermann,

Robert Allen Grossman?

- Moskowitz sounds like
the name of--

of a composer, correct?
- It's the first

or the second one.
I'm not sure which one it is.

- I swear I've heard Zimmerman
before.

- I thought it was one or two.

- I was thinking it was
Zimmerman too, to be honest.

So I--
- I feel like I heard it

somewhere on the radio,
so--you know,

"Oh, did you know his name
was--was this?"

- I do. I feel like--
- 'Cause Moskowitz,

wouldn't you, like,
remember that more?

Like, for me, it seems like
it would be more...

- Right.
- I mean, if everyone's going

with Zimmerman, you know,
I'm okay with that.

I really don't know, though.
- But you write music.

- It's one of the two.
- I mean, but--I mean,

I'm not even sure of
this genre, honestly, but...

- Bob Dylan?

- You're our mu--
you're our musician.

[dramatic music]

- I never said I was
a musician...

- Ah, dang it.
- But, uh...

- You write music, yeah.
- I said I write music. Yes.

- Well, what kind of music--
- Ten seconds, everybody.

- How do you write music
without being a musician?

- I'll need an answer.
I need consensus.

- How do I write?
What--what is the answer

to the question?
- I say Zimmerman.

I'm going Zimmerman.
- I'm going Zimmerman.

- Time's up. What do you say?
- Zimmerman. Zimmerman.

- I say--I vote with y'all.
- Zimmerman?

- Yes.
- Zimmerman, yes.

- I'm hearing Zimmerman.
All right.

You said it was
Robert Allen Zimmerman.

Is that the correct answer?

♪ ♪

It is the correct answer!

- My heart is racing.
- $40,000!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- The maximum available score

at this point, $40,000.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Who pushed that through?

Did everybody know the answer
to that?

- Who put Zimmerman
on the table?

'Cause I definitely
didn't know that.

- I heard that on the radio
somewhere.

- And I recognized it a little.

I'm gonna be honest,
I recognized it.

When you kind of said
the first two,

I was like, "Yeah, Zimmerman
made sense to me."

- I mean, I thought it was
the first two right away.

- Yeah.

- All right, well,
everyone's still

friends then, I guess.
- I don't know.

- All right.

Here's another clue.
- Hmm.

- "The Hustler has watched
'The Fifth Element' 80 times."

- Whoa.
- That's a lot of times.

- That's a lot of times
to see that movie.

I mean, I'm on the fence
with that movie anyway.

- What is that?
- I've never seen the movie.

- That's obsessive.

- Yeah, but if you're not
on social media...

- What are you doing all night?
Right.

Watching "The Fifth Element."
- What's it about?

'Cause that might help us...

- It's a science fiction movie.
- It's--yeah, science fiction.

- Set in a dystopian--
well, Tim,

tell 'em what it's about,
would ya?

- I know--I definitely know
the movie.

Bruce Willis, um, aliens,
good versus evil.

- Okay.
- Every Bruce Willis movie,

basically, it sounds like.
- Yeah.

- Oh, great.
- So you said you've seen it,

Tim, right?
- I've definitely seen it.

- How many times?
- Not 80 times.

Nobody would see that movie
80 times.

If you've seen it once,
that's enough.

- It's dystopian future

with nihilist poetry
over there.

Somebody's a downer.

[laughs]
Definitely not me.

- All right.
Here is your next question.

"'The Fifth Element'
is actually a foreign film.

What country produced
the movie?"

Was it Great Britain,

Canada, South Korea,
or France?

- I have no idea.
- It's definitely not--

or--or--I was thinking
North Korea.

- Well, I was gonna say,
a lot of movies--

a lot of things are made
in Canada.

- I was--yeah,
I was gonna say that too

'cause Canada hosts a lot of
our television from Hollywood.

So that's the only guess,

but I've never seen this movie,
so that--I'm not helpful,

and I'm really sorry.
- Yeah, I don't know

what the background looks like.

- "The Fifth Element"
is science fiction?

- Science fiction, yeah.
- So I mean--

- Is there mountains?
- Yeah, like,

what's the scenery?
- What does it look like?

- City?
- It's space.

all: Oh.
- A lot of space and then--

then alien planets and stuff.
- So like, green screen?

- Well, I don't think a lot of
things are made in France

because they have
very high taxes.

- Wait, what?
- It doesn't--it doesn't feel

like a France movie, but...
- They do.

- So maybe Canada
or Great Britain.

Is that our top two,
and do we just guess?

- I just feel a lot of things
are made in Canada.

But I will go with
whatever you want

because I have literally
never seen this.

- I--I'd go Canada.

- I would go with Canada too

'cause I--same reason as you,
but I've--

- Right.
- Ten seconds!

- What do you think, Til?

- I mean, I'm kind of--
I'm bouncing off of all y'all.

Everybody says Canada.

- I need consensus
or you don't get the money.

- We should go with Canada.
- Let's just go with Canada?

- Remember, the Hustler
knows the answer.

- Hopefully we get good luck
again.

all: Canada.
- Canada?

"'The Fifth Element'
is actually a foreign film.

What country produced
the movie?"

You said Canada.

Is Canada the correct answer?

It is not.
[all groan]

- Remember, the Hustler knows
the answer

and yet allowed that to go
through.

The correct answer is,
of course...France.

- It was France!
- It's a Luc Besson movie!

- But when I said France,
Tena kind of knocked

France off the table.
- I really didn't think

it was France.
- So I kind of knocked it off

when you did,
so that's very interesting.

- I go to Saint-Martin a lot
on the French side,

and I just know it's not good.

- Is 40 enough for her?

- Mm, mm.
- 40 enough for me?

- I don't know.
- Hmm.

- You could talk to
my creditors; it isn't.

[laughter]

- I don't know.
You're very quiet, Brianna.

- More observing 'cause,
to be honest,

I'm--I'm pretty confused.

Because I have
a different reason

why I think each one of you
is the Hustler,

and it jumps every time.

- Wow.
I see.

All right, let's keep the game
rolling with the next clue.

"These are the Hustler's
last three Amazon purchases."

Let's take a look at them.

The Hustler bought
a 30-can cooler,

a half-moon tambourine
with 20 jingles on it...

- What?

- And a professional

deep muscle massager.

- Ooh.
- So this is

someone who enjoys beer,

parades, and powerful devices.

[laughter]

I think it's me.
[laughter]

Does that help anybody?

- I remember Tim saying earlier

he worked in construction,
so I could see him using

the massager after a long day.

- But the tambourine--I don't
see you shaking a tambourine.

- Well, I will definitely say

you haven't worked
construction,

'cause if I showed up
with that...

that wouldn't be good, yeah.
- Not good?

- No.
- And Til was into--

Til's into music.

- Very true.
- That was my first

initial thought, but isn't that

almost too easy?

That's the only thing.
It--

- It's kind of obvious.
- It almost seems such

an easy connection that that--

my gosh, I'm so stuck.

- All right, let's take a look
at the next question.

♪ ♪

"Approximately what percentage
of online shoppers

abandon items in their cart?"

30%, 50%, 70%, or 90%?

Now remember, the Hustler knows
the answer to this.

- Well, it's definitely
not 30%.

It has to be higher than that.
- We've all done it.

- I think--I think it's got to
be lower than 90.

So don't you think we can
eliminate 30 and 90, maybe?

- It's gotta be that 50 or 70,
I think, in that middle range.

- Or maybe--I don't know
if 90--90% of people

definitely couldn't
abandon their shopping cart.

You think?
- I would say it's higher

than 30 and 50.

I'm--I'm looking at 70 and 90.
- I'm kind of feeling

the 70 with him
because I've done it a lot,

where, like, you kind of
play online,

and then you're like,
"Yeah, let me think about it."

- But 90's way too much.
- 90 seems, like, too high.

- Is it way too much, though?
- I don't know.

- 'Cause think about it.

You only really drop it

when you're ready-ready
to get it.

- I mean, that's true.
- And we always,

always are looking.
- Mm.

- I don't think--I think
90's too high.

- I think--I would--my vote's
gonna be 70.

That's my thought,
but if someone

has a better thought process...
- Ten seconds, you guys.

- I'll go with it.
- I agree.

I think 50 is too low.
- Gonna need an answer.

- So you think 70?
- 50's too low. 90's too high.

70's the number.
- Stick with 70.

- 70.
- Okay, I'll go with that.

- You guys think it is 70%.

Is 70% the correct answer here?

[tense music]

- It is the correct answer.
- Oh, my word.

- Good job, guys.
- Ooh-hoo-hoo.

- Wow.
- Teamwork on that one.

- You have added another
$10,000 to the bank.

You now have $50,000!

We are at the halfway point.

It's time for
our second elimination.

Again, in the table,
please take out the envelope,

mark the person you want to see
leave the game,

and then again realize it's
a completely futile gesture

unless you're the Hustler.

The only choice that matters

is the Hustler's.

When you're finished, uh,
put that in there.

Now I shall send this off

to be interpreted.

- The magic tube.
- Yeah.

- Excellent.
- [laughs]

- Now we will find out

who else the Hustler
is sending home.

One player's time in the game
is almost over.

♪ ♪

- The Hustler has made
their decision

about who will now be
removed from the game.

[dramatic music]

I'm afraid it's now time
to find out who that is.

The eliminated player is...

- Oh.
- Tena.

- Ooh.
- Dang it.

- I thought you were
the Hustler.

- No.
- Oh, shoot.

Now I'm real confused.

- Dang.
- [groans] Boy.

- Huh.
- I'm so sorry, Tena.

- It's all right.
- Why do you think

the Hustler decided
to get rid of you?

- 'Cause I'm smart.
- Yeah? Who do you think it is?

- I think it's Til.

- Til?
- Really?

- Me?
- It could be Bri.

- Moi?
- I don't think it's Tim.

- You don't think it's Tim?
- No.

- Okay.
- It's one of the two.

- Yeah.

I feel bad, but--
- I do too.

- I don't feel bad enough
to let you stay...

- That's okay.
- But I feel bad.

- Well, just put me in
a nice part in that bookcase.

- Okay, well, you wanna
go in the special side?

- Yeah, take me over there.
- Okay, you win the nice side.

Say bye-bye to Tena, everybody.
- All right. Thank you.

Bye, guys.
- Come on, Tena.

- Bye.
- Over this way.

Stand right there.
It's not gonna hurt.

I'm just gonna do this,

and then this is gonna open up.

And you're gonna--oh, no!

[applause]

This is it
till the end of the game now.

You made it to the final three.
Congratulations.

$50,000 is in the bank,

but don't celebrate just yet

because the Hustler is still
on the loose.

Let's see what this next clue
reveals to us

about the Hustler.

"The Hustler performed
in a band called

Fiend Angelic."

Am I pronouncing that
correctly?

[laughs]
- Til?

- Anybody look like--well,
you're a musician, aren't you?

- Yeah, I knew the flames
were gonna come this way

after the question was read.

- [mouths words]

- But, uh, this is not my band.
- What's the name of your band?

- I don't have a band.

- Do you play
with other people?

- I do not.

- Do you produce music at all

or you just keep it
for yourself?

- So pretty much what I do
is I kind of just write

to myself and keep it
to myself, so...

- She's asking you
a lot of questions, Til,

and you don't have
to answer them.

- I'm just watching the eyes
and how they go away

when you ask him a question.
- Okay.

- 'Cause usually it's hard

to look into someone's eyes
when you lie.

- I love the way
you frame yourself as,

"It's not me.
I'm doing the detective work."

That's very clever
if you are the Hustler.

- I had to wait a little bit,
to the end,

to be able to do it
because I didn't want

the Hustler to eliminate me
in those first two rounds.

- No, that's good strategy.
- So by going under the radar,

this is how I got this far.
- No, I think that makes sense

either way, if you are
the Hustler or if you're not.

All right, let's keep going.

Your next question is...

"In the New Testament,
what is the name of the angel

that foretells the birth
of Jesus to Mary?"

Is Uriel, Raphael,
Gabriel, or Michael?

- Gabriel.
- It's Gabriel.

Definitely Gabriel.
- Yep, it's Gabriel.

- It's 100% Gabriel.
- Easy enough.

Boom, Craig.
We're ready to go.

- Oh, wow, I won't even
walk away.

You guys--you're convinced
it's Gabriel?

- Ready to get that money.
- Yes.

- All right.
You guys all agree that it is

the angel Gabriel?

Is that correct answer?

It is!
- Good job, guys.

- It is the angel Gabriel.

And I bring forth
another 10 grand to your bank,

which means you now have
$60,000 in the bank.

But there was nothing--
we didn't learn anything there.

Everybody knew Gabriel
right away.

- No, no, no. Yeah, my first
question is, how'd you know?

- I actually went to, like,

Bible school a lot, growing up,
and, like, I do Bible studies.

So...
- That's very interesting.

Similar, I grew up
in a Christian school as well.

So...
- Yeah, all right.

Well, same here.
So that's the end of that.

- Oh, so you're all
good Christians

and yet one of you
is really good at lying.

[laughter]

All right, let's move on
to the next clue.

"The Hustler is proud of
their homemade salsa."

- Hmm.
- Stay right there.

This is the Hustler's recipe.
- Oh.

- Oh.
- Perhaps the Hustler's salsa

is quite nice.
I don't know.

Let me try.

[quirky music]

Okay, that's too hot.

[laughter]

♪ ♪

Actually, I'm lying.

It's not hot at all.
- What?

- Oh, did that offend you?

- I thought you weren't part
of the game.

- No, I don't have to be
part of the game to lie.

I'm in show business.
I can lie just like that.

[laughter]

All right, the Hustler is
proud of their homemade salsa,

which I have to say
is delicious.

I tasted it.
It wasn't that hot.

It was lovely.
All right.

Let's look
at the next question.

♪ ♪

"Which of these condiments

has the least calories
per teaspoon?"

Is it ketchup, tabasco sauce,

pico de gallo, or soy sauce?

- Okay, it's not ketchup
'cause it has a lot of sugar.

- Yep.
- Right? So...

- Soy sauce is wicked salty.

- It is, but technically,
salt does not have calories.

So that's why I'm thinking
it could be soy sauce.

Maybe tabasco 'cause I cook
decently healthy,

and I use those a lot.

Um, I don't know about the--

I don't know
what pico de gallo is.

- I don't know why,
but that's jumping out at me.

- Pico de gallo?
- What is--what's in that?

- I don't know.
I don't know what's in it.

I don't know what--
I don't know, but it's just

jumping at me.
I don't know why.

So you said no to ketchup,
no to soy sauce...

- It's definitely not ketchup,
maybe no to soy sauce.

I don't know.
I guess in between the two--

the two in the middle.

I thought pico de gallo was,
like, a vegetable something,

kind of like a salsa.

- Well, I know--
- Ten seconds!

- What's in tabasco sauce?
Put it that way.

It's only vinegar, right?
I don't really like

tabasco sauce
'cause it is so vinegary.

- No answer, no money.
Let's go. What do you agree on?

- I'm gonna go
with tabasco sauce.

- All right.
- Okay, tabasco.

I guess we're going
with tabasco.

- "Which of these condiments

has the least calories
per teaspoon?"

We went with tabasco sauce.

Is tabasco sauce
the correct answer?

It is the correct answer.
- Oh, my gosh.

Dang.
- Oh.

- It's hard because I feel like
we're good at guessing,

but I also feel like
they're probably

just good at leading us
that way.

I don't--you know what I mean?
- Yes, you are.

- Well, yeah--
- Oh, am I, Tim?

- I said pico de gallo,
and you both shut it down.

So now I'm looking at both of
you kind of interested.

- Huh.
- All right, well, you guys,

whatever you're doing,
you're doing it right

because you have $70,000
in the bank.

Two questions left until
we find out who the Hustler is.

Are they gonna go home
empty-handed, the Hustler?

[curious music]

Or are they gonna go away
with all of the money?

♪ ♪

- All right,
my three study buddies.

You have already deposited
$70,000 in the bank.

We're getting closer and closer
to learning

the Hustler's true identity.

Here is our next clue
about the Hustler.

"The Hustler tears up

when watching
'Say Yes to the Dress.'"

Okay, if I knew what that was,
I would probably mock it.

Does anyone what it is?

- I do know what it is, and I
wanna be this person's friend.

It's where you pick out
wedding dresses.

I just got engaged, so I will
be picking out one eventually.

- Oh, congratulations.
That's lovely.

- Eventually. So, um,

I do watch this show.
I'm not the Hustler.

I would, obviously,
not admit that,

but I do think that's funny
that the two guys

that I'm looking at
that I have to pick--

one of them tears up
watching this.

This is--this is amazing.

- You buying this?
- That's a very good strategy

to jump out on this question
because if everything is going

like you said,
the guys wouldn't jump out.

So that was a very good
defensive tactic

to pretty much say,
"It's not me.

It's one of y'all."
I like that.

I like it, Brianna.
That's smart. I like it.

That's good.
- I'm kind of surprised that--

I don't know.
This does not help me choose

between you two.
That's where I'm stuck.

- If you're not the Hustler.
- Yeah.

That's an awful lot said.
- Yeah.

- But why would I admit
all that if I was?

- 'Cause you be playing
the game.

- 'Cause that's your strategy.

You've had a strategy
this whole time.

- Hmm!
All right.

Let's look at
the next question.

[mysterious music]

"Kleinfeld Bridal,

"the setting
of 'Say Yes to the Dress,'

is based in what city?"

New York City, Chicago,
London, or Atlanta?

- It's New York.
I watch the show.

So I--I'm--I know it
from just the show.

- So you know it's not London?

How do you know it's not
Chicago or Atlanta?

Or just you just know it--

- I just know it's literally
in New York

'cause I used to watch the show
like crazy.

- Do you know what part
of New York?

- But wouldn't you steer it
wrong after saying

all that you just said?

- I guess that's--
- 70's a lot.

You might not need 80.
- I guess that's true.

[laughs]
- You know?

- No, I just--I know
it's New York.

I--I don't, like--I mean,

I don't know how to explain
other than

I've just seen the show,
and I know it's New York.

I mean, that's where
Kleinfeld is.

Like, all the rich people
go there to buy dresses.

They're extremely expensive.

Like, I will not be buying
my dress there,

but that's--it's, like,
the number one dress boutique.

- If I had to guess,
it would be London or New York.

But obviously, if she's seen it
and is saying that...

- Ten seconds.
You'd better agree soon!

- I'd go with what
you're saying. I mean--

- I think we have to go
with New York City.

- Five seconds,
or I take the money away.

- It's New York.
- New York.

New York City.
- New York? All right.

"Kleinfeld Bridal,
the setting of

'Say Yes to the Dress'
is based in what city?"

You said it was New York City.
That's what you said it was.

Is that the correct answer,
New York City?

It is the correct answer.
Well, well, well.

- She tells the truth.

- Man.
- I do.

- It is the correct answer.

- I'm pretty honest.

You can ask me just about
anything.

I will--I will tell you
anything.

- Well, you know what I think?
I think we gotta

think about this
a little minute

because she could legitimately
know that.

I mean,
if it's a show you watch,

that doesn't make you
the Hustler, does it?

- Sure, sure.
- You know, I mean--

- But the tactics behind it,
right, like--

- Well, she's just got engaged,
though.

She's gonna watch a show

about wedding dresses.
- Yeah.

- I mean, unless she didn't
really just get engaged,

and the whole ring thing is a--

- I don't know, man.
I'm--I'm looking at Brianna.

Everything she says
makes sense,

but at the same time,

if it is not true,

Tim let it go through
without really,

um, battling with it.

So I think he feels comfortable
because he knew the answer

'cause he possibly might be
the Hustler.

So I'm looking at
both of these two like--

I'm not really--I'm--ugh!
I don't know. I don't know.

- You're the only person
that doesn't know.

- Oh, I really don't know.
I'm telling the truth.

- All right, all right,
all right.

Well, congratulations,
everyone.

You have $80,000 in the bank.
- Wow.

- Now that is huge.
- It's crazy.

- But for our final question,

I'm gonna raise the stakes
a little bit.

If you answer it correctly,
which you should,

'cause the Hustler knows
all of the answers,

I will double
your final cash total

to $160,000.

- Wow.
- However...

- That's crazy.
- If you get the answer wrong,

I will slice it in half.

It will go down to $40,000.

Mm-hmm.
All right.

Let's look at our final clue
about the Hustler.

"The Hustler drinks 12 shots
of espresso every day."

- What?
- Whoo!

- Who's having heart attacks?
- That is someone who--

- How are you not dead?
- That's a lot of coffee.

- That's a lot of coffee.

- That's a lot of coffee,
Brianna.

How do you cope with all that?

You drink a lot of
orange juice?

- I don't drink that much
espresso.

I'm--I'm an iced coffee girl,
not gonna lie.

I don't usually do espresso.
I'm, like, iced coffee.

- You drink coffee?
- I do not.

I'm a morning person.
I'm just up and at 'em

when I wake up.
- What?

- Til, you are a wholesome guy.

[laughter]

You're up writing songs,
playing your little tambourine.

- I...
[laughter]

- You really look like a guy
that drinks coffee.

- Oh, I definitely
drink coffee.

- All right, okay.
- Yeah, my genes

aren't good enough
to handle that every day.

- Mm, I don't know.
- That's a lot.

- All right, let's look
at the last question.

The last question is:

"A caffeine buzz is caused
in part by blocking

what brain chemical
that causes drowsiness?"

Is it adenosine, glutamate,

adrenaline, or dopamine?

Remember, the Hustler knows
the answer to this question.

This is for double
or halving the money.

Go for it.

- Okay, well, we know
adrenaline gets you, like,

excited, right?
- Yeah.

- And dopamine's, like,
the happy.

So it's not one of those.

I've never heard of
the first two, though.

Adenosine and glu--
the other one.

- I don't even know--
I don't even wanna--

I don't even--yeah.

I agree with you on adrenaline.

I feel like I--what you're
saying about dopamine,

I also agree with,
but it's a toss-up

between the top two.
What--what do you say, Tim?

- I have no idea
what the first two are.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Well, I mean, what's the one
we're gonna say?

We have to put an answer
on the table.

- Yeah, let's do it.
- This is the money.

Let's get the money.
- I know. I know.

- This is the most
important thing.

- All right, well, let's--
let's--let's narrow it down

so you can make
a better decision.

- Do it quick.
You got ten seconds.

- A or B?

'Cause we're both--
we're all saying

C and D is out, yeah?
- Yeah, it's not the last two.

- So A--A or B?

- What do you agree on?
- Someone spit it out.

I don't know.
- What do you agree on?

- A, adenosine?

- A. A it is.
- Go with it. I don't know.

it was him the entire game.

At first, I thought it was him.

Then I definitely thought it

you were the one
that was kinda leading.

"Okay, guys,
what are we gonna do?"

"Okay," this or that,
but it was the last question--

I'm like--I jumped off
because after I said it,

you didn't move,

and only the Hustler
would be calm enough

not to do anything
as I was saying the answer,

'cause I honestly didn't know.

I don't think you would give
away "Saying Yes to the Dress,"

all those different things.

I think you do
watch those TV shows.

You've been very reserved.

I think you take those
12 shots of espresso

with my gut.

- No way.
- I'm going with Tim.

like, if all of a sudden
you guys were choosing me,

I'd be trying to convince you
with, like, getting--

because it's--
it's a lot of money.

more chill over there,

between the two of you.

$80,000 apiece.

You played
a hell of a game, Tim.

That's the Hustler, everybody.

We'll see you next time.
Good night, everybody.

Good night.

Unbelievable.
- I know.

- I thought
I played a great game.

I thought it was mine.
For sure I thought it was mine.

I guess now I just go home
to my fiancée,

watch a little
"Say Yes to the Dress,"

and cry it out.

Oh!

- Hey, man, Tim can have
his chickens, his poetry,

his 12 shots of espresso,

and I wish nothing
but the best for him.

He played a great
and excellent game.

- I won $80,000!

Like, I just--I don't--
I cannot believe it.

- The Hustler got hustled.

But I know I can always
go home to my ladies.

The chickens are always
there for me.

- He did a great job, you know?

I--I just think
we played it better.
