Go To

Hitchhiker: By preying upon people's fears, Sheryl and Bruno hope someday to escape their squalid surroundings. But the life of a small-time con won't get them what they want, and when they set their eyes sights on greater treasures, they'll soon discover the cost of their greed.


Two young con artists try to swindle an old woman of a secret treasure hidden in her house.


This episode of this series provide examples of:

  • Buried Alive: The old woman takes them down into the cellar of a house that is to be torn down and locks the door behind them. They scream in vain for someone to help them as a back shovel decimates the house to rubble.
  • Con Man: Two of them, a man and a woman try to swindle an old woman out of her treasures.

Hitchhiker: Sheryl and Bruno dreamed of the big score. They thought by stirring the memories of an old woman, they could unearth a hidden treasure. But when you force people to relive memories that are better off forgotten, you risk bringing even a more terrifying reality upon yourself.
