Leverage S04E09 The Cross My Heart Job.

[julesnichols]

Favorite parts of The Low Low Price Job:

-when they're arguing about whether or not they should take the client and Eliot points out they overthrew a foreign government and Nate's response is just that it was a small foreign country

-Sophie complaining about needing to learn fancy science words and saying something about how they're not real and that they're like the names of dinosaurs or something and Hardison having to say "dinosaurs were real"

-Nate putting on dramatic music while watching the camera feeds of the chaos they're sowing

-Sophie siccing her acting students on these people

-the haunted shopping cart prank

-Parker quitting her day job pretending to be dying

-the team sitting in the food court betting on how long it'll take for the mark to crack

Can we appreciate that when Parker hears from Hardison that Tara backstabbed the team- her first instinct was to throw her off the roof?

Like this is Parker. The thief who everyone claims is crazy. The thief that can't process emotions and needs help to play pretend. This thief who hasn't really known what family is like- and her first instinct when the people she cares about is being threatened- she wants to get rid of the threat.

Parker cares. She cares about Eliot. She cares about Nate. She cares about Hardison. Nobody gets to take away her family.

Nobody.

Ghetsis may see him as a "freak without a human heart," but N actually has friends.

the inside job is so real bc nate and eliot meet archie and they are on the absolute same page that it is on SIGHT with him

literally the only reason he didn’t end up with like broken knees in a damp, dark back alley somewhere is because they know that despite parker’s messed up relationship with him, it would make her sad

parker being sad is not allowed if they can help it

so instead, when parker is off doing her occasional solo heist for fun, the rest of the team plots his demise if he ever hurts parker again

💖 love is stored in planning bodily harm of those that hurt the people you love 💖

(post inspired by someone reblogging my parker-archie fucked up relationship post)

Favourite Relationships: Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen + Ser Laenor Velaryon.

[weprovidehyperfixation]

I love how everything the team does is so collective. Like even screwing with the marks in small ways throughout the con.

Like in “The Boiler Room Job” when the whole team gets the mark’s self-given nickname of “The Mako” wrong just to mess with him.

The legacy continues in Leverage: Redemption series, with the “Rolling on the River Job” when they refuse to call the mark “Senator” even though he calls himself that at every opportunity.

It’s the subtle way they mess with the mark’s minds that I love.

everyones fave thieves

Inspired by this post by @lemissingmask

The team holding Eliot back from violence, either with a simple gesture or by putting themselves in front of him.

And the time the violence was encouraged:

[hacash]

‘Then finally, Nathan Shelley. For missing every training session, every match, and every team dinner this season...’ 

god the boys really did make a point of telling Nate ‘you were never not a part of this team, you were never not a part of the family’ didn’t they?

Allies in The Last Dam Job

There's this fun bit of attention to detail In The Last Dam Job when they're discussing how to get Dubenich:

This isn't quite the full gif but what it is is that Sophie says that Dubenich is going to know every friend, every person that they would be expected to go to for help. And Nate looks at Eliot and goes "we find someone who is not a friend" to Sophie and Parker "someone who is not in the game" to Hardison "someone we do not trust." And that's exactly what happens.

Eliot recruits Quinn who we last saw trying to kick the shit out of Eliot:

Parker recruits Archie who is retired:

Sophie recruits Maggie who is the token honest friend in this heist show:

And Hardison recruits Chaos who they all hate for trying to kill Sophie:

It's just a good bit of attention to detail.
