Leverage: The Long Way Down Job

Came back with a vengeance with an episode that was tailor made for Grifters, but was still accessible for new viewers. Like always, the Crew had to pull a job on some big, bad business, but it was the interactions between the characters that made “The Long Way Down Job” special.

After the San Lorenzo job, the Leverage crew was supposed to have two weeks of down time, but Nate had other ideas after hearing the story of Karen Scott, whose husband, Alan, was lost on a mountain. She let Ford know that her husband’s financial investment company would seize and foreclose on homes by the hundreds, and something wasn’t adding up, so she hired them to get to the bottom of what was going on at her husband’s firm and to help her get some closure.

The job took everyone to Alaska, where a group of rich business people were congregating to climb a mountain, with hopes of running a game on this week’s bad guy: John Drexell. The plan included Sophie sticking to Drexel while Eliot and Parker hiked up the mountain to find Alan’s body which had proof of Drexel’s misdeeds. Nate and Hardison would run things from base camp, but they got an expected visitor in Karen. After she took off after Eliot and Parker to find Alan, Nate headed up the mountain, but the effects of altitude sickness mixed with alcohol withdrawal was too much for him to handle, and he collapsed once he found Karen’s unconscious body. Luckily, she came to and saved both of them.

Back at base camp, Sophie realized that Drexel wasn’t at the mountain for fun, but he was there to auction off his business to foreign buyers which would hide the mortgage fraud that his company was involved in. Sophie and Hardison worked to stall the sale, while Eliot and Parker continued up the mountain to find the evidence. The latter found the signal that Alan’s body was producing, but they couldn’t find the body until the ground gave way, and they ended up in the under ground cave where he died.

At first, Eliot and Parker were dedicated to retrieving Alan’s diary which could prove what Drexel was up to, but Parker insisted that they take the body back with them. Everything was going fine until their rope broke, which meant they wouldn’t have enough to save themselves and to hoist up Alan. In the end, they made the call that only they could and saved themselves, the diary, and Alan’s phone.

Nate and Sophie told Drexel what they knew what he was up to, and that they had Alan’s diary as leverage. Unfortunately, he called their bluff and had his Russian hired gun ambush Eliot and Parker to take back the evidence. While the Russian had Parker captive, she slipped Alan’s phone into his pocket, and when he was close enough to the Internet signal, a final video message from Alan started playing. In it he filled in the rest of the blanks: Drexel had cut his line and was responsible for his death. The message was also the final goodbye from Alan to Karen, and the Crew realized why they do what they do.
