In Leverage season 5 episode 5, titled "The Gimme a K Street Job," the team takes on a corrupt lobbyist who is working on behalf of a big pharmaceutical company. The episode begins with the team meeting with their latest client, an activist named Dylan who has teamed up with Senator Ellen West to try and pass a bill that would make it easier for independent pharmacies to compete with big pharmaceutical companies.

Dylan has been working for weeks to try and get support for the bill, but has hit a brick wall because of a powerful lobbyist named Peter Kilian, who is working on behalf of the big pharma companies to kill the bill. Kilian is well-connected and has managed to sway several key politicians to his side, making it seem like the bill doesn't stand a chance of passing.

The team takes on the job and begins by doing some surveillance on Kilian, hoping to find some evidence of corruption that they can use to discredit him. They manage to catch Kilian on camera meeting with a group of lobbyists from the big pharma companies, which is just the evidence they need.

Next, the team tries to figure out how to use this evidence to their advantage. They know that Kilian has a lot of influence, so they decide to try and expose him in the media. They enlist the help of Sophie, who poses as a journalist and arranges an interview with Kilian.

During the interview, Kilian denies any wrongdoing and tries to shift the focus onto Senator West, who he says is taking money from independent pharmacies in exchange for her support of the bill. Sophie manages to keep Kilian off-balance, however, and gets him to say some incriminating things on camera.

With the evidence they need to bring down Kilian, the team sets up a sting operation. They arrange a meeting between Kilian and Senator West, and then secretly record the conversation. Kilian tries to bribe the senator, but she stays strong and refuses the money. The team swoops in and arrests Kilian, putting an end to his corrupt lobbying practices.

Overall, "The Gimme a K Street Job" is a thrilling episode of Leverage that highlights the team's ingenuity and resourcefulness in taking down a powerful opponent. With plenty of twists and turns along the way, this episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
