Nate, we're done here. Hardison!
Wait, Eliot. Eliot, come on.
You've got to be kidding me, man.
{Eliot goes to help Hardison carry the painting out]
Bring it out, come on.
This is just weird.
I painted this.
[Hardison leaves a video message on the monitors for Sterling and his goons when they break into the Leverage offices]
Hey, Sterling! Get out of our house!
[the screens switch to a countdown timer for a bomb]
[After they run out of the building]
Maybe he was bluffing.
[Building explodes]
That's a funny thing about con men. They don't bluff.
[the team walks up to a mansion]
Hardison, what is this?
Yeah, well, since Sterling blew our covers, I had to find a new safe house. Lay low.
This is your idea of laying low?
Who ripped out the toilets?
This was an IRS foreclosure. I got it cheap.
IRS doesn’t take toilets.
They do when they're solid gold. This used to be MC Hammer's place. I guess you can touch this, with a S.W.A.T. team and a federal warrant.
How'd you know we'd be there?
Last week before the exhibit opens, security almost in place, but not fully staffed. Best time to case the joint. Plus, I did chase all of you at one point or another.
Why'd you come back? We agreed to scatter for six months. All of you–all of you—made an amateur move being there.
It's too hard to leave a job undone. It's like an itch.
I put a lot of work into us, into that office. It was like my second home. I blew up my second home.
As annoying as you people are, I quit this crew when I quit this crew. Nobody makes me leave.
I just, I really wanted to hurt Sterling.
I can get around those.
Really? And end up on one of the new 20 cameras they got down there from our last little trip to the basement?
That was fun.
Yeah. Could we talk about that?
Talk about what?
We can't run a con. They know our faces.
What about Maggie?
Exactly. I mean, most of the museum people aren't gonna recognize us, But Maggie. She works down there.
No, what about Maggie? She's inside.
You just said that. She just said--
No, wait. No, hold--Listen. Listen, I get--I get it. Just have Eliot call her as Dr. Sinclair. We won't play her. He'll just feel her out.
Have Eliot...feel out my wife?
Ex, Nate. Ex-Wife.
Okay, look, you always have a Plan B right? So, fine. Without Maggie, what's the Plan B?
I haven't dated a lot since my marriage broke up.
I'm sorry to hear that.
No, don't be. He was obsessive, perfectionist, controlling.
[Nate, Sophie, Hardison and Parker are listening in Lucille]
Organized! She used to say I was organized. And punctual.
Mm-hmm.
He must have had some good qualities.
No, not even in bed.
Ooh!
Every night was prom night. You know what I mean? But worst of all, he completely forgot that I gave him that same button camera for Christmas three years ago.
[everyone looks at Nate as the doors open. Maggie and Eliot look into the van]
I can explain.
You actually expect this to work?
Um...
No, you're supposed to say "Wow, that's just crazy enough to work!"
Incredibly, chance does seem to bend itself to his bizarre machinations.
[whispering to Maggie] That's his superpower.
Nate?
Hmm?
You can't just make somebody do what you want them to do.
Whoa.
[Everybody chuckles]
That's what we do. I mean…
[pets Maggie's head] You're adorable.
So nobody else finds it annoying when you nag them in the middle of these things?
Why don't I run this one, Nate?
Yeah.
I don't nag. You know, I just have, you know, a clear big-picture viewpoint.
Actually, you know what? We did kind of like the way Sophie ran the last one.
Yeah. Yeah. Up until the point where she got us caught, but other than that, it was great.
[As they begin to pull a con on Director Lloyd]
[To Maggie] Okay, why don't you run up to him. Be just a little bit out of breath. It changes the speech rhythms, makes it harder to detect a lie.
You see? Like that right there. It's informative.
You learn, and you con.
Oh. Well, looky here. Dr. Ernst Volk, University of Berlin, dead. Dr. Schliemann, London Museum, dead. Oh. Oh, and also the three guys that actually discovered the tomb. Eliot, what does that say?
It says "dead".
D-E-D, dead, baby.
D-E-A-D!
I... I know how to... I was throwing a little style in it, just a little bit. A little style. I know how to spell "dead," damn it! I can steal a bank, I can spell "dead"!
You need something?
I was just trying to make myself useful.
Yeah, well, last time you tried that, we had to blow up the office.
That's not fair.
I was just getting used to it.
What? Having an office?
Being part of a team.
Look, I didn't mean, you know, it wasn't supposed to go down like that.
What's going on?
Sophie here was just trying to apologize.
No, I wasn't.
She tried that with me earlier. She kind of sucks at it.
A little bit.
Oh, did she give you the speech about how we're thieves and about how this is what thieves do and if we were in her shoes, we'd have done the same thing?
No, I think she was just getting to that part. [Pauses] You apologized to him first, huh? Why am I last?
I wasn't apologizing. I...
That's the problem.
I just wanted to see if w-we… we were all okay with each other.
Okay. There it is.
I forgive you.
Apology accepted.
Yeah.
No, I wasn't— unh-unh, you, I didn't...
