Great Pretender (2020 - 2024)

Makoto and his partner make their living conning the innocent. But when a simple scam on a tourist goes awry, he's soon out of his depth in Los Angeles.

Dangling from the Hollywood sign, Makoto recalls his path from salesman to a life of crime. Back on the ground, he learns more about "confidence men."

With construction proceeding on the new lab, Makoto enjoys LA in the company of Eddie's enforcer, and Pola Dickens sets her sights on him.

The pressure is on as everyone watches Makoto make the first batch of Sakura Magic, but with Agent Dickens in his ear, things take a very serious turn.

Two years later, Makoto gets an honest job as a mechanic once he gets out, while Laurent and the crew reunite for a job in Las Vegas.

The crew heads to Singapore to begin the con on the two princes and the fixed Path Finder Air Race, but Makoto has concerns about Abbie's mental state.

When their first strategy fails, Laurent recruits some extra help, using Makoto's skills as a mechanic to deal with the stubborn elder prince.

Not realizing who the bookies are, the greedy prince places a series of eye-popping wagers. Abbie's harrowing past begins to affect her focus.

With the air race finals on the horizon, all the pieces move into place. Makoto has a serious talk with each pilot before making a wager of his own.

Working as a sushi chef while living in France, Makoto attempts to plan a con without Laurent's help after a pompous Englishman terrorizes the locals.

In London, Laurent and the team put their payback con against the "007 of the art world" into action. Cynthia reminisces about art and love.

Makoto searches for Thomas, the art forger connected to Cynthia, to create a fake version of "Snow of London." Laurent and Abbie's plan continues.

Laurent's fake dark auction begins with outrageous prices. Among the bidders, Coleman and Cynthia vie over "Snow of London."

Determined to rebuild his life, Makoto parts ways with the team and returns to Japan. He lands a job, but doesn't know what he's gotten himself into.

Cynthia and Shi-won arrive in Japan to start the con on Scarlet Company. Makoto and his boss accompany them to the UAE to witness a kidnapping.

A delegation from the Shanghai branch of the Suzaku Group arrives in Tokyo. Summoned to translate, Makoto realizes the interpreter looks familiar.

Two months after the end of the con, Makoto still works for Akemi. One night he receives a visit from a man he thought he saw die in front of him.

A younger Laurent joins a group of con artists including Oz after unknowingly aiding them in Paris. As they travel around the world, he falls in love.

On their last job, the team passes Dorothy off as an Ethiopian princess and stages her kidnapping for the Shanghai group. Then it all goes wrong.

The final phase of the con on the Shanghai group starts when Laurent returns to the city. The stakes are higher than ever, with no margin for error.

Both sides prepare for a fateful meeting in Tokyo, with Laurent and Makoto acting as translators. Everything depends on Makoto's choice.

The Wizard of the Far East pulls off one final magic trick, and some people finally get what's coming to them.
