      Sophie Devereaux. Sophie is great at playing the characters that distract the mark, but put her on a stage and the performance brings one to tears. Not in a good way.

    Who is the target in the "sting"?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      a corrupt county judge. "Laundering is a dirty business" Ford tells the judge as they walk out of the vault with the money. The judge has been taking bribes and now wants to launder the money.

      The wife (mother) had been kidnapped.. The son gets a ransom call while they are in the bank.

    Who has kidnapped the wife?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      Meth dealers. He explains that he was running meth for some local thugs when a shipment went missing. Blaming Michael, the drug thugs took mom and demanded the return of their goods. Unfortunately, Michael doesn't know what happened to the missing meth. "This is all my fault," the boy whines.

    How much money did the meth dealers want?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      None of these. "There's more than we asked for," one of the meth guys says. The ransom was $100,000.

    Who gets shot?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      Nate. The judge notices that his briefcase is missing. He wrestles the gun from the son and it accidentally goes off. Ford is hit.

      She crawls through the night deposit chute.. Parker is the escape artist of the team.

    Hardison complained about internet service. It took him almost an hour to torrent what show?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      "Dr. Who". Alec Hardison is a die-hard Whovian.

    When Alec entered the bank dressed as an FBI agent, why does he get down on his knees?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      He's trying to make the local cops outside believe the judge is not cooperating.. The local cops see the Alec and believe he is trying to negotiate while keeping the judge calm. The cops burst into the bank with their guns drawn on the judge. "You guys got this all wrong!" the judge says. "I'm the hero here!"

    When the judge tries to convince the authorities that he was not the one who took everyone hostage, he removes the hats of two people. Which two team members had exchanged clothes with the father and son and are under the hats?"Leverage" - "The Bank Shot Job"

      Parker and Eliot. When Parker and Eliot enter the bank as paramedics they switch clothes.

    This con began with the discovery that a Boston-based electronics magnate had knowingly purchased an artistic masterpiece stolen by the Nazis during World War II. The clients, the Mercers, owned the painting prior to the Nazi theft and have failed to reclaim it. Which artist painted the masterpiece they were seeking?"Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      Gustav Klimt. The Mercers explained that their father had managed to smuggle the artwork out of Europe just before the war, but their father did not make it out of Europe. While the Mercers have worked to reclaim Holocaust art every day, this painting was especially important to them and they spent a lifetime searching for it.

    When the crew infiltrated the office where the painting was being held, they decided remove the entire wall that surrounded the painting, rather than just the painting. What they did not realize was that, on the other side of the wall, another crew had already stolen the painting and replaced with spoof artwork. What piece of of popular art was in the frame?"Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      Dogs Playing Poker. When the crew broke into the office, Parker complained that their plan seemed like cheating because it was not like the elaborate cons they usually executed. Hardison then explained exactly what would have to be done in order to execute a job of this complexity, and it was juxtaposed opposite footage of another crew executing that exact plan at the exact same time. This resulted in the art having already been stolen and replaced with dogs playing poker by the time the team cut the wall apart.

    Eliot's "hitter" opposition, Mikel Dayan, may have been able to understand and speak some English, but it was not her first language. What language did she speak throughout the majority of her time on screen? "Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      Hebrew. Mikel was an amazing opponent for Eliot in this episode and she asked him early on if he spoke Hebrew. She was later described by Hardison as being ex-Mossad, or Israeli Intelligence, with considerable experience as an international mercenary.

    On the night of the auction house robbery, Parker was tunneling through the air ducts until she found out that the security motion sensors had been triggered. What had caused the motion sensors to go off?"Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      bird. Once they found out it was a bird, Parker encountered Apollo in the air ducts with a birdcage. They were stuck in the ducts talking and she asked him what kind of bird he chose, to which he responded that it was a North American Kestrel, which he chose because it was a relatively small bodied bird with a large enough wingspan to set off the motion detectors. Parker said that she would have used a Scarlet Andrew bird because of the wingspan and that fact that their bright colors were more distracting.

    Who actually created and delivered the motion sensor flower vase bomb to Sophie?"Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      Chaos. It was revealed at the end of the episode that it was not Marcus Starke that had sent the bomb to Sophie, but rather it was Chaos, who was infuriated at the prospect that Marcus would have potentially enlisted Sophie to be on his crew for this job. Chaos had evidently planned an elaborate double-cross, but knew he would not succeed if he had to go up against Sophie. He then tried to kill Starke with a car bomb before fleeing the scene.

    At the cocktail party art viewing in the auction house, Parker and another thief (later identified as Apollo) battled for possession of the auction manager's wallet and I.D. badge. While they bump each other, pass each other, and/or otherwise stole each others possessions, what did Apollo take that was Parker's (and not the auction manager's)? "Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      her phone. Parker was extremely irritated that she had been bested by another thief, much like the rest of the crew was when they realized their own counterpart opponents. Fortunately, the fact that Parker's phone had an advanced GPS tracking system later lead the team to the other crew's hideout.

    When Nate diverted the security guards at the outdoor entrance on the night of the Auction house robbery he was intercepted by Marcus Starke. Marcus introduced himself to Nate and the guards with an assumed name. Who did Starke introduce himself as?"Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      Nathan Ford. Starke explained to Nate that he had chosen to use his name and a cover as an insurance representative to gain access to the Auction House's security system. Surely, comic relief was another reason for his use of Nate's name.

    At the end of the episode, Eliot and Mikel were seen swapping stories of their many battle scars. After Mikel showed her chest scar from a frag grenade in Somalia, Eliot showed his arm wound from a sniper's bullet. In what country was Eliot when he was shot by the sniper?"Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      Myanmar. After Eliot spoke of having been in Myanmar, Mikel told him that she was a sniper in Myanmar for awhile in 2003, which caused Eliot's demeanor to change with the realization that he was probably shot by Mikel.

    After Starke agreed to swap the van Gogh for the Mercers' reclaimed painting, he delivered an arrogant and self-serving speech whereby he declared himself the winner for still having walked away with the painting he came for. Did the team give Starke the real van Gogh painting? "Leverage" - "The Two Live Crew Job"

      No. When Apollo stole Parker's cell phone, Hardison was able to track the phone to Starke's secret hideout. While there the crew stole all of Starke's forged paintings, identical to the van Gogh in question, and they reclaimed Parker's phone. After they realized that Chaos had planted the bomb that almost killed Sophie, they intercepted his getaway and planted the fake paintings (minus the one they gave to Starke) and the real painting as his luggage.

    The vice president of Lillian Foods, Erik Casten, tried to cover up the fact that a large portion of the company's frozen foods were not safe for human consumption. What was wrong with some of the frozen foods?"Leverage" - "The Top Hat Job"

      salmonella contamination. Dr. Jameson attempted to copy the quality control reports that proved the food was contaminated with salmonella but Mr. Casten and Markland, the head of security, stopped her and confiscated her flash drive before she could leave. It was Dr. Jameson that contracted the team to steal the evidence and expose the fact that Casten knew of the contamination and decided it was more financially viable to pay for a few wrongful death lawsuits than to pull the contaminated food off of the shelves.

    When Eliot's cover was blown doing recon at Lillian Foods he was able to physically fight his way out; Parker's cover was also blown when it was revealed that the "homeless man" on the bench next to her was, in fact, another member of the company's security. How did Parker evade capture?"Leverage" - "The Top Hat Job"

      jumped over the bridge railing. The undercover security guard attempted to grab Parker but she was able to kick him away and do a backflip over the bridge railing; the man didn't see or hear a water splash and was left confused, but the audience was able to see that Parker was dangling underneath the bridge, having grabbed onto a beam.

    What corporate event did the team use to infiltrate the company and steal the incriminating evidence?"Leverage" - "The Top Hat Job"

      state of the company meeting. Hardison was only able to hack into the company's computers and retrieve emails, which was when he found out that a lot of the staff was frustrated about having to attend the state of the company meeting. Since no one on the crew, besides Nate, had never had a real job, he had to explain to everyone exactly what the meeting would be about.

    The team wasn't able to get into the company by posing as caterers so they had to get in as a replacement act for the corporate entertainment, a magician. What was the name of the magician that the team had to get out of the way so they could steal his gig?"Leverage" - "The Top Hat Job"

      Chronos the Magnificent. Chronos was an ominous and gothic-looking magician. Hardison discovered that he had multiple sexual harassment charges filed against him and Parker noticed that his assistant obviously hated working with him. When Parker volunteered to go onstage, Hardison used that opportunity to do his own magic act; Chronos punched him in the face out and was arrested, which enabled the team to pose as a last minute replacement act.

    When the team came in as the magical entertainment, one member of the team was forced to hide in the "Box o' Mystery." Who was it?"Leverage" - "The Top Hat Job"

      Eliot. Nate made a fuss with security when they wanted to inspect all of the magic gear and equipment. The head of the company allowed them access and you later saw that Eliot was hiding in the box and holding a rabbit the entire time.

    When Erik Casten shortened his speech so he could delete the incriminating documents, Parker, Eliot, and Hardison were in the elevator on their way to steal the files. Nate told Parker that she had to immediately get to the stage. She jumped down the elevator shaft and told Eliot to hook her harness cable to something so that she wouldn't just continue to fall. What did Eliot hook the cable to?"Leverage" - "The Top Hat Job"

      Hardison's belt loops. Eliot hooked the harness cable to his Hardison's belt loops, just to see what would happen. When Parker reached the bottom of the elevator shaft the boards beneath her gave out and she crashed through the shaft before being shown dangling above the stage. When she fell through, Hardison's body was launched up in the air and was stuck to the top of the ceiling until she released the ropes and he fell to the ground.
