- Magnificent Bastard: Nicky Spurgeon is a seasoned con artist running his own team of pickpockters and scammers. Seeing the potential in novice conwoman, Jess Barrett, he takes her under his wing, teaching her how to be a successful con artist. At the Super Bowl, he scams Liyuan Tse out of two million dollars during a gamble by manipulating his subconscious into believing 55 is his lucky number and using Jess as his "blind mouse", he plants one of his inside men on the field with a jersey that says 55. Nicky pretends to work with Rafael Garriga to sabotage a rival racing team while stealing the EXR formula from up under his nose and selling it to various teams. Being captured by Garriga, Nick employs "The Toledo Panic Button"; Nick has his father (who acted as Garriga's right hand man) shoot Nick and take off with Garriga's car.
