Ep 8. The Boiler Room Job

The Boiler Room Job is the eighth episode of the fourth season of the action-drama TV series Leverage. In this episode, the Leverage team takes on a corrupt CEO who is scamming his employees out of their pensions.

The episode begins with Nate (the team leader) receiving a tip that a con artist is targeting a group of retirees who have just lost their pensions. Nate realizes that the con artist is actually part of a larger scheme run by CEO Jack Hurley and his lawyer. They've been embezzling pension funds for years and now plan to sell the company to a Chinese firm, making millions of dollars in profit. The team decides to take down Hurley and his lawyer, and restore the pensions to their rightful owners.

To do so, the team decides to go undercover in a boiler room operation that Hurley's company uses to solicit new investors. Parker, the team's thief, poses as a new hire in the boiler room. She quickly rises up the ranks thanks to her natural charm and skill in selling, but also uncovers some shady practices and figures out how to use these practices against the perpetrators.

Meanwhile, Hardison (the hacker of the team) hacks into Hurley's computer system to uncover more evidence of the scheme. He also finds out that Hurley is planning to destroy all the evidence, and the team only has a few hours to find what they need before it's too late.

Sophie (the grifter) uses her acting skills to impersonate a government auditor to intimidate Hurley's lawyer into giving up information. And Eliot (the muscle of the team) poses as a potential investor and gets into a fistfight with Hurley in order to get a DNA sample, which they use to match with evidence that Hardison discovers.

The tension builds as the team races against the clock to find the evidence they need and stop Hurley from destroying it. They manage to pull off an intricate plan that involves everything from hacking to identity theft to good old-fashioned detective work. In the end, the team succeeds in taking down Hurley and his lawyer and restores the pensions to the workers who earned them.

The Boiler Room Job is an exciting and action-packed episode that showcases the strengths of each member of the Leverage team. They all work together in a seamless and efficient way to achieve their goal, reminding viewers of the importance of accountability and standing up for what's right. The episode is also notable for its use of technology and smart tactics to take down a powerful enemy, showcasing the ways in which even a small group of individuals can make a difference in the world.
