Again throughout Leverage‘s unique run on TNT, its third season villain was monetary mastermind Damien Moreau (Goran Visnjic). What the others didn’t know till they’d truly encountered him was that their hitter, Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), as soon as labored for him.
In “The Huge Bang Job,” which aired in 2010, Eliot defined to the others — mastermind Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton), grifter Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), thief Parker (Beth Riesgraf), and hacker Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) — that he’d been attempting to guard them, which he noticed as his job. Although Nate thought they may deal with Moreau, Eliot disagreed.
“We’re out of our league, Nate. Each one in all Moreau’s males has harmless blood on their fingers. Each one in all them. Each one in all them are worse than me. You suppose what I’ve performed? The worst factor I ever did in my total life, I did for Damien Moreau. And I’ll by no means be clear of that,” Eliot stated, and when Parker requested what he did, he advised her, “Don’t ask me that, Parker. As a result of in the event you ask me, I’m going to let you know. So, please, don’t ask me.”
Leverage: Redemption showrunner John Rogers (who co-created the unique collection) advised TV Insider whereas discussing the Season 3 finale that we’ll “by no means” hear what the worst factor Eliot did was. (There’s no phrase but a couple of Season 4.)
“It’s fascinating as a result of Christian has stated, ‘I do know what it’s,’ and I stated, ‘Don’t inform me. No matter you’re going to have, no matter I’m going to have, no matter Chris Downey or Dean [Devlin] has of their head is all going to be completely different,’” Rogers shared. “‘It doesn’t matter. What you consider is the worst factor he’s ever did is what provides you with the efficiency.’”
Each Christian Kane and govt producer Dean Devlin have advised us that Eliot would say he may by no means be redeemed due to all of the issues he’s performed.
“Eliot’s a serial killer. He’s killed lots of people — typically for cash, typically as a result of they deserved it, however he’s killed lots of people — and there’s no approach that he’s ever going to have the ability to redeem himself for that,” Kane advised TV Insider in July 2023 and added that Eliot telling Parker to not ask what he did was “mainly taking good care of our followers in order that they don’t completely hate Eliot, however on the similar time, letting them know we have been all dangerous guys, however he might need been one of many worst. So there is no such thing as a redemption for him.”
So now, the one path for redemption for Eliot is guiding others there.
“There’s a line that lots of people discovered shattering within the second season within the finale the place he says, ‘I admire the chance to be helpful,’” Rogers stated. “And that’s only a man who’s like, ‘Look, I’ll by no means see the promised land.’ That is the tragedy of the present. There’s no larger hero than a person who believes he won’t ever see the promised land and spends his total life attempting to get different folks there. And that’s Eliot. It’s humorous, he’s a lot harsher on Eliot than I’m. I’m like, ‘He may very well be redeemed,’ and each of these guys are like, ‘No, he’s going to hell.’”
