| “ | Are we the bad guys here? | ” |
— Breanna | ||
One member of the team seeks redemption and justice by convincing Leverage to con a developer out of an entire luxury apartment building.
The Client
Isabella, the daughter of Mateo, a construction worker who died when the building he was working on collapsed due to cost cutting by his boss, Jason Crawley.
(Harry sought out the client because he felt guilty about how he had sided against her in a case years previously and wanted to use Leverage resources to make things right. He did not initially tell this to the rest of the team.)
The Mark
Jason Crawley and Krista Moore-Crawley
Summary
Harry asks the team to help out a client he found whose father died in an unsafe building project. The people involved in the running the projects are Jason Crawley and his wife, Krista Moore-Crawley. It’s later revealed that Harry worked for Jason to cover up his business’ malpractices, and that’s why he wants to work the case to redeem himself for his wrongdoings. Together the team makes Jason believe that the building he lives in is unsafe and gets him to reveal his malpractices in a recording.

Episode Notes
- Eliot learned Klingon after making a bet with Hardison.
- Additionally, Parker has picked up at least one phrase.
- Breanna says Harry’s screw-ups make her look good.
Trivia
- Jason's relaxation audio program is the same as the one Alex Walker (Christian Kane) uses in Almost Paradise.
- Hardison bet that Eliot could not learn the Klingon language. Hardison lost and Eliot is fluent (although as Breanna points out it might have been Hardison's actual goal to make Eliot learn Klingon).
- When Eliot hands Krista the menu, he winces as she completely screws up the pronunciation. Original Leverage fans may catch the item she messes up is the same appetizer Eliot claimed the platter of tuna to be for Dufort in "The Homecoming Job."
