Ep 16. The Harry Wilson Job

In season 1 episode 16 of Leverage: Redemption, titled "The Harry Wilson Job," ex-con turned private investigator Nathan Ford and his team of skilled con artists return to explore another high-stakes heist, with Harry Wilson, a former wealthy businessman, becoming their mark. Harry has lost everything due to a corrupt billionaire named Dwight, who stole his life savings and destroyed his reputation. When Harry's son becomes a victim of Dwight's illegal operation, he calls on Nate and his team to help him take down Dwight and retrieve his stolen money.

Nate, alongside his team of misfits, which includes Sophie Devereaux, Eliot Spencer, Alec Hardison, and Parker, reunites for a final mission to help Harry and his family. Harry needs the team to help him infiltrate a high-security building where Dwight keeps all the records of his illegal activities and the evidence of Harry's stolen money. Nate assigns different tasks to each member of the team to successfully execute the heist. Sophie takes control of the situation by posing as a wealthy socialite, Eliot takes care of the physical safety of the team by providing backup, and Parker infiltrates the building through an air vent to unlock access to the data center.

Meanwhile, Hardison takes on the role of a tech expert, hacking into the building's security system, and disabling all the security measures put in place by Dwight's goons. Harry and Nate act as the distraction, luring Dwight's men into different parts of the building to divert their attention from their true objective. When Parker gains access to the data center and downloads all the records of Dwight's illegal operation, she discovers something shocking that could change the course of their mission.

Things take a dangerous turn when one of Dwight's henchmen catches Hardison trying to hack the security system. With the system out of order, the team finds themselves trapped inside the building with no escape route, except for a dangerous one. Harry, who was once an elite climbing instructor, suggests they use the building's multi-million dollar art collection as leverage to escape. He proposes a dangerous plan that involves scaling the building's rooftop and using the art collection to slide down a high-speed zip line to escape.

The team agrees to the plan, and with the help of Harry's expertise, they successfully escape the building with the data and the stolen money. However, as they make their exit, Dwight and his goons are hot on their trail, leading to a thrilling high-speed car chase. With their skills and quick thinking, the team manages to outsmart Dwight and evade his men.

In the end, Harry thanks Nate and his team for avenging his family and retrieving his stolen money. He finally regains his reputation and sets out to rebuild his life. Meanwhile, Nate and his team revel in their success, leaving the audience with a satisfying end to season 1 of Leverage: Redemption.
