2.3 The Lesson

The mark is Anythony Mgube, a Nigerian army torturer and embezzler. But the plan – and Danny’s status within the team – is in serious trouble when Danny brings an uninvited outsider - a short con man with whom he has shared a few too many drinks.

Comments

All I can say is, this is the most elaborate con yet. If you guess it, you’re more clever than I. It’s also the best episode yet. Usually, we the audience are part of the team, but this time, we are conned as well.

Nits

Albert holds a briefing session regarding Mgube. Danny is not present. Why is Albert doing this? Mgube does not exist, and everyone present knows this. I suppose it could be that Albert is briefing the team on how the fake con will be carried out.

Quotable Quotes

Danny: You said we needed somebody for the Gooby Dooby thing.
Mickey: Mgube.
Danny: And that, as well.

"I didn’t mean what I said, and I’m sorry about burping in your face. Love you all."
- Danny

Albert: You’ll get us barred [from the pub].
Mickey: I cannot – help myself [after tricking the bartender yet again].
