THE NIGERIAN JOB

Hardison sets up his equipment and hands Eliot an earpiece. Parker then drops down from the ledge above them. She asks if she can have one, and Hardison says she can have the whole box. She takes one and swings back up. Eliot asks what Hardison will do once Parker knows he live with his mom. Hardison says it's the age of the geek, that they run the world. Eliot says to keep telling himself that, and the two get into position. Nate calls them in the earpiece to go on a count, when Parker starts running. Eliot says she's already gone, and he and Hardison run to the edge to watch her fall.

The three run into a problem when Parker lets them know that all the locks and alarms have been reset. Nate tells them to get to the elevators and head down. Hardison and Eliot reach it and quickly start changing. Parker then joins them, and the two turn their backs as she does the same. They put together a disguise and are able to get out of the building.

Once they regroup, Hardison says that they worked well together. Eliot says it was a one time thing, and Parker says she's already forgotten everyone's name. Hardison says that it was nice to be on the same side, then they all go their separate ways.

They're then all told to meet in an abandoned building, which explodes and get taken to the hospital, by the cops. Eliot shows Nate that they've been processed and that they were faxed to the state. Parker asks how long they have, and Hardison says about thirty minutes. Eliot says that they got them twenty minutes ago. Eliot questions if he can take the cops, but Parker yells that if he kills the cops, he screws up her get away. Hardison says that he's still handcuffed, as Nate yells that they're all getting out of there. Eliot says it was a one time thing, but Nate says that he knows what they all can do. Parker says she doesn't trust Hardison or Eliot, but Nate gets her to trust him.

THE HOMECOMING JOB

Parker, Eliot and Hardison stake out the shipping containers. Eliot sees little security and the container. He goes to make a move, but Hardison pulls him back. He picked up a webcam aimed at the container, and Parker notices it on the pole as Eliot ducks away. Hardison starts to think of ways to shut it down, when Eliot comes back and just throws a rock at it. He and Parker then head towards it, and Hardison sarcastically says that it must have frustrated Eliot to be too far away to punch the camera.

Parker starts to pick at the lock, and Hardison asks what she thinks is in there. Parker thinks that it's artifacts, and Eliot thinks it's weapons. Parker gets it unlocked, and the guys open the doors, only to find massive amounts of money. Parker grabs some, and the three hide up on one of the other containers.

THE TWO-HORSE JOB

Parker, Eliot, Hardison and Aimee arrive at the barn as their being locked up. Parker asks if Hardison can hack the lock, but Hardison says that Parker doesn't understand what he does.

THE SECOND DAVID JOB

Eliot asks Nate if Sophie is in on "this", but Hardison says that there is no "this". Parker says that Sophie did come back for her, but Eliot points out that she wouldn't have had to if she didn't lie to her. Hardison says that it's been no calls in three months, so he doesn't need them. Parker asks what he means by that, and everyone dissolves into arguments.

Sophie is talking to Eliot when Parker walks in. She asks what they're doing, and Eliot says that Sophie was trying to apologize. Parker said she did that with her earlier, she kinda sucks at it. Eliot agrees, and Hardison comes in and asks if she gave the speech about them being thieves and that they would have done the same thing if they were her. Eliot says that he thinks she was getting there, and then gets angry that she apologized to Hardison first. Sophie says that she wasn't apologizing, and Eliot says that that's the problem. She just wants to know that they're all okay with each other. They consider that an apology and forgive her.

Season 2

Parker says that she thought everyone could.

THE TOP HAT JOB

As Eliot, Hardison and Parker make their way through the building, Eliot says that he thought they needed a card from an employee to use the elevator. Hardison says that they need one from a top level exec, and Parker asks how they're going to get one. Hardison says that Sophie is sending him one. They get the id number and quickly enter the elevator as two security guards walk past. Parker says it's like he picked his pockets without stealing anything, and Hardison says it's what he does. With a phone he's got no limits, but Eliot says that he gets no action either which causes Parker to laugh. Hardison glares at him, but Eliot says that he practically handed it to him.

THE TWO LIVE CREW JOB

Eliot, Parker and Hardison step off the elevator and head down the hall. Parker says that entering the wrong office feels like cheating, but Hardison says that security is too tight upstairs, but Parker thinks it's weak to not even try.

At the bar, Eliot asks why Hardison is laughing, since he still screwed up the job. Hardison says that it's because Eliot said he wouldn't help him and he did. Eliot says it's because Parker made him, but Parker says that she didn't. Hardison want to hug it out, but Eliot keeps pushing him off, and Hardison forces the hug to happen.

THE RUNWAY JOB

Parker, Hardison and Eliot get together and call Sophie, where Hardison tells her that Nate was cool with Tara, and Parker agrees that she did a good con. Eliot however says that it didn't build trust, which Sophie points out that it took a while for all of them to build trust. But Eliot says that if Nate doesn't like her it's not gonna work. Sophie says that they need a grifter, since last time one of them did it, they were kidnapped by Russians. Eliot and Parker immediately point to Hardison, and Hardison is offended that they won't let it go. Sophie says to give her a chance, and all three of them can at least agree that she's very hot. Sophie says to convince Nate for her, just as Nate and Tara walk in so they end the call.

THE BOTTLE JOB

Nate asks Hardison where the cash is and Hardison says that all the banks are closed as he, Eliot and Parker remove all the books on the shelves. Parker suggests ATM's, but Hardison says they're at their daily withdraw limit. Hardison says he can't help with cash, but Eliot tells him to use the slimmer thing to hack the ATM's. Hardison corrects that it's a skimmer, but thanks him for trying. He can't because he doesn't have it, and hasn't used it since they became the good guys months ago. Parker questions months, and Eliot points out that they've been the good guys longer than that. Hardison points out that they had a break. He then remembers that they all have Emergency Funds and all divert to wear they're stashed. Hardison starts to cut up the painting of old Nate, and Parker asks what he's doing.

Eliot thinks they used all their luck on finding the storage place, but Hardison said that finding it was a testimony to his abilities. Eliot drops a box on Hardison's foot, which Parker laughs at. Eliot says it's just baby clothes, but Hardison point out that the box says books. Eliot sarcastically pretends he didn't notice.

After giving cash to the client, Parker joins Eliot and Hardison at the bar. Eliot remembers that Hardison told them that Rand didn't have any money. Hardison confirms this, and Eliot asks where all the money Parker gave came from. He realizes that they found the stolen money, and becomes mad that they did so without him. He storms off as the two high five each other.

THE THREE STRIKES JOB

Eliot returns to the van where Parker and Hardison are. Parker says that the guy who put a hit on the cop was FBI, and doesn't think it's fair.

Season 3
THE JAILHOUSE JOB

Parker enters the apartmen with all her equipment, and Eliot tells her that Nate doesn't want to do their plan. Parker is upset, since she loves jumping on elevators, which Hardison knows. She even has her special elevator rig Nate gave her for Christmas. Eliot says that Nate took the fall for them, Hardison injecting that it was after he lied to them. Eliot says that Nate needs to let them break him out, and Hardison says that not all of us think they should. Parker says that they need to get him out at his next hearing, but Nate just wants to serve his time. Hardison thinks they should let him do that and shuts off the feed to the prison.

Eliot throws a suggesting to break out Nate, but Hardison says that it would cause a lockdown. Parker comes up with the idea of the furnace room, and crawling through. Nate tells her that it's 127 degrees in there, but Parker says that humans can withstand that for 27 seconds. Eliot and Hardison can't believe her, much to Parker's confusion. Sophie comes in and asks for any luck, but the three say no. Nate then comes up with an idea, but they all think it's a bad idea.

Hardison simplifies to explain that Eliot will be singing pitch perfect tonight.

THE BOOST JOB

Hardison and Parker arrive at the warehouse, Hardison calling for Eliot. They're then jumped and trapped by the hijackers. As they hold them at gun point, Hardison and Parker share a smile and a laugh as Eliot walks up behind the guys. The leader asks what's so funny as Eliot starts to beat up the men. Hardison and Parker help, and they're all left unconscious. Eliot thinks there has to be another car somewhere, when Josie pulls up and tell them to get in. They all climb in as Hardison yells shot gun and they all drive to the car dealership.

Parker tells Josie that she wasn't supposed to tell the guys what they were doing. Hardison is surprised that Parker did that, but Eliot says that he should have known and calls her a menace. Parker says that Josie deserved a chance to get away. Hardison says that Nate's gonna kill her, but Eliot says that he'll do it first. Parker says that they need to stop whining. Eliot yells that he got hit by a car, but Parker just says the same thing. Eliot repeatedly says he's gonna kill her, and Hardison says that nobody is killing anybody, but Nate is probably gonna kill Parker. She turns rapidly, and Eliot asks where she learned to drive. She says she was a getaway driver before she jacked cars, and Hardison questions how that's possible when she was 12 when she started jacking them.

THE THREE-CARD MONTE JOB

Parker and Eliot arrive at the warehouse, and Eliot asks Hardison if he got the place right. Hardison is offended that Eliot would doubt his hacking abilities, but does pull up as much info as he can on their target. He says he found their motivation and their hideout and asks Eliot what he did with his afternoon. Eliot knows what he's going to do when he gets back, as he and Parker step inside the warehouse. They see a man counting money, and Parker asks if he's likely involved. Eliot says that he's Russian mafia, and sees a tattoo that indicates that he's a captain.

Season 4
THE LONG WAY DOWN JOB

Hardison is worried at basecamp when he suddenly gets a call from Eliot. Hardison is excited and asks if Parker is there also. Parker says that talking uses oxygen, and Hardison starts crying, saying that they're his people and that he was scared. Eliot tells him to shut up and tells him to listen to the phone message they found. Parker then takes the phone and puts it to his ear so that he can do so. Eliot asks if he got the message, but Hardison says that the signal is too spotty, and needs the two to get the phone to base camp.

THE TEN LI'L GRIFFTERS JOB

Hardison tells the others that he found Parker as they two of them pop out of a secret passageway. Parker informs them of the passageways and that they found the blueprints and safe, so their job is done. Eliot says that's not true, and sarcastically cheers Parker being back. Parker says that anybody could have killed Beck and Eliot says that includes Nate.

THE 15 MINUTES JOB

Parker says that the mark is bulletproof, and Hardison says that it's because he uses CG. Hardison start to go into more detail, but Eliot tells him to stop with the Star Trek stuff. Hardison says that it's Star Wars, and starts to complain about CGI Yoda, but drops it. Eliot says that Hardison is the only one talking about it and Parker says that she liked CGI Yoda. Hardison is offended when Nate calls in. Eliot tells Parker to tell him what he wants to hear and Hardison asks if he hears what he just heard. Eliot then takes the remote and starts to go over the mark.

THE CARNIVAL JOB

While the three are sitting at a booth Hardison says that it seems Molly and her dad are doing okay. Eliot says that they're making up for lost time, but Hardison point out that Eliot should probably be taken to a hospital for his injuries.

Hardison says that she is probably not registered.

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT JOB

Parker is playing with one of the chess timer, but Eliot hits her hand and tells her to stop. She says that she just wanted to hit it, but Eliot tells her not to.

Hardison point out the mark's step-daughter, who is a chess prodigy. Parker asks why she's got security, and Eliot explains that the mark was targeted with a bomb threat, and Hardison further explains that it's how he got his limp.

THE BOYS' NIGHT OUT JOB

Eliot says that he should handle the next part, and Hardison says that Eliot doesn't need him either. Eliot says so what if Parker is out with a handsome thief, while he's just the IT guy. Hardison asks if that's really his pep talk and Eliot admits that it's a little rough. Hardison asks if he's trying to say that he's not exciting, but Eliot says that's not what he's saying. Because that would imply that he's thinking about Hardison and Parker, which he never does. Hardison tells him to say what he needs to say, and Eliot says that Hardison might be going to slow with Parker.

THE GOLD JOB

Eliot joins Hardison and Parker in the van, grabbing the box of donuts as he does. Hardison explains how Nate being a rival adds values to the hunt, and Parker asks how. Eliot explains that the mark is so competitive it became impossible for him to resist. Eliot asks if Parker had to take a bite of all the donuts, and Parker says that she needed to know which one she liked. Hardison and Eliot are offended, but Parker just shrugs and eats her donuts.

THE RADIO JOB

Hardison, Parker and Eliot get onto the roof of the patent building and quickly climb in through the fire escape. Hardison looks down the stairs and asks if that's really their plan. Parker confirms this, and Hardison starts to leave. Parker and Eliot tell him to get back here, and Parker sends Eliot to get him. Parker and Eliot strap up Hardison, who votes to not have himself pushed off the edge. Parker says that there's not a lot of room for error and Eliot says that he'll be able to do it if Hardison stops squirming. Hardison starts to complain again, while Parker whispers that it might be easier if Hardison was asleep. Eliot asks if she want him to do that, and Hardison reminds them that he's right there. Parker tells him to relax, and that they'll lower him slowly so he doesn't set off any alarms. Hardison tells them not to drop him, and he starts to go over the edge. Parker and Eliot share a look and they push Hardison over the side. At the bottom, Hardison calls up that they're not funny and can see them laughing.

THE LAST DAM JOB

Hardison helps Eliot and Parker get through security, when Parker is locked in the office, Eliot is chased by goons, and Hardison is locked out of the system.

Eliot is able to get out and gets into the van. Eliot tells him to go, but Hardison asks where Parker is, just as there's a thump on the roof of the van. Parker ducks her head down and tells him to go and they quickly drive away.

Season 5
THE RUNDOWN JOB

Hardison reaches the vault as two guards walk towards him. He says "'Sup Eliot", confusing to guards, when Eliot drops down and knocks them out. He asks if the cameras are good, and Hardison says that they are for the next two minutes, when Parker drops down as well. She thinks that will be enough time, and Hardison unlocks the vault. He's able to get all the security, except for the lasers. She walks up to them, and Hardison says she has 1:40. He suggests a kiss for luck, but she says she doesn't need it, and starts to acrobat her way through the lasers. Hardison says he never gets tired of seeing that, and he and Eliot do their handshake.

They get the diamonds and head to mail them out. Eliot stops Parker from taking a diamond, and Parker asks why she couldn't have just one. Hardison points out that it's gonna feel better when they get Christmas cards from the orphans, and it may even get Eliot to smile. Eliot then gets a call, and Hardison asks if he's okay. Eliot ignores him and answers the call, but Parker figures out that it's someone calling Eliot to ask him to what he used to do. Eliot says that he doesn't do it, and Hardison says that means they walk away. Eliot says that just because he doesn't do it, doesn't mean that somebody else isn't.

Eliot arrives at the callers location, who tries to press a call button. He asks why Eliot got out of the game, and Eliot says he started running with different people. Like a Hacker. Hardison then walks in, having disabled the alarm. The caller then pulls out a gun, but the clip is empty. He says he's also running with a thief, and Parker shows up behind the caller, bullet in hand. Eliot then asks for the file, and the caller quickly gives it to him. He then tells him night, and Parker tases him. Hardison opens the file, and sees that the target is being heavily watched, but she gets off her transport in 15 minutes. The three then run away to go and find her.

They reach where the target is going to be, as Eliot comes to the conclusion that they'll take her out with a sniper. He says that they're behind him, but tells them not to look. He'll protect the target, while they find a way out. Hardison asks with what, but Eliot says they stole a Michelangelo with tin foil and gum, so they can figure it out.

The three save the target, but Hardison says they need to go when the cops arrive. Eliot says not yet, but Parker points out the cops mean they leave. Eliot says that given the targets job, this wasn't a random hit, but an act of terrorism and starts a call. Hardison asks who he's calling, and Eliot says that it's a buddy in the business.

They walk through the crime scene, Parker complaining about the amount of cops. Hardison asks who Eliot's friend is, and Eliot explains that they were in the service together. He worked for him for a bit, and Hardison asks what kind of work. Eliot just says that they got their hands dirty, just as Vance shows up. Eliot starts to tell him the situation, when he realizes that they're surrounded. The three are backed together, as Parker points out that she said there were too many cops.

The three are arrested and Vance joins them in the back of the van. Vance brings up their credentials, and then tells them that the attack on their target wasn't the only one. Eliot realizes that someone is trying to hit DC, and Vance wants the three of them to work for him. Eliot says he stopped doing that a long time ago, and Hardison points out that in order to stop them they'd need all their intel. Vance says that they've gathered it in their NSA van. He wants them to steal the van, and points out that their girlfriend is already out of the cuffs. Parker then throws the cuffs at Vance, as he tells Eliot to make it look good. Eliot punches him three times, which makes Hardison impressed with the guys resolve. Eliot points out that he didn't always where a suit, and tells Parker to get the door.

They return to the crime scene, much to Hardison's annoyance. Eliot tells him to do a character, while Parker asks for a few minutes to boost the keys. Hardison and Eliot then distract the guards, and Parker quickly steals the van. Once inside, Hardison geeks out over the van, and Parker asks where they start. Eliot wants to start with getting them out of DC, since they weren't the ones to sign up for this. Hardison says that Eliot wouldn't know what to do without them, and Parker says that they all made an agreement. That when they change, better or worse, they change together. Eliot then gives in and asks Hardison what he can find on the prints. Hardison says that they're still running, but Eliot asks him to pull up service records from a specific date. Hardison finds Charlie Scarzy, and Hardison is able to find that the government has everything on him. Hardison finds it disturbing, but also kinda hot. Eliot gets him back on track, and Hardison finds that Charlie parked on the same block over and over again. Parker asks what's special about that block, but all Hardison finds is a news report of an antique store getting robbed. Parker says that's it, given that the robbers left a cooler full of ice in the basement. She knows why you bring that to a robbery, and everything they need to know is in the basement. She walks to the front and says that she'll drive. Hardison says hold on, and Eliot says exactly. Hardison says that he meant literally, and Eliot quickly sits down, remembering how Parker drives.

The get to the store basement, but Eliot sees it as a waste of time. Parker then walks forwards and finds cracks in the wall. She explains that you need ice to keep an industrial saw blade cool and uses the fire extinguisher to break through a very thin wall. They find an abandoned chemistry lab, and Eliot finds the name. Hardison says that this place was the CDC before the CDC, but the lab must have been forgotten. Parker asks how you lose track of a lab, but Eliot says that the government lets a lot of secrets slip through the cracks. Parker then finds an empty case, while Eliot finds one that's vacuum sealed. Hardison doesn't want to know what's inside, but Eliot says it's an influenza strain from 1918. Hardison yells that they have to get out now, and the three run out to the van.

Once out, Hardison says that the strain is the Spanish Flu, which killed fifty million people during World War One. Somebody has it, but Parker insists that they can stop them as long as they treat it like any other job. Hardison says that it's not, but Eliot tells him to stay focused. Hardison yells that he is, and reminds him that the flu killed 50 million people when the population was lower. Parker asks how man would die now, and Hardison says it would be 150 million people. Hardison tells Eliot that they're thieves, and this is way out of their league. Eliot asks if he's scared, and Hardison says that he is as he tries to climb into the van. Eliot stops him that he's not. He's got the best thief and the smartest guy he knows on his side. Hardison tries to look away, but Eliot pulls him back. He's gonna need his brain to track the mark, because the second Eliot gets to him, it's all over. Just get him there. Hardison realizes that the guy would have to weaponize the virus, and Eliot thinks that's a good start. Parker says that they'd have to find the lab, but Hardison says that he wouldn't need that. He'd need pigs.

The three of them arrive to a farm, and Hardison yells for them to look for remnants of a lab. Hardison leads Parker to the barn, and Eliot says that he'll secure the area. He calls them over when he finds all the dead pigs, which Hardison sees as proof that they've weaponizes the virus. Parker sees that this is not like any other job.

Vance arrives and Parker hands him some papers they found in the lab. He tells them that this is on the government now, and he'll let them know when it's done. Inside the van, Hardison says that they won and should be happy, which Eliot agrees with, but Parker asks why they're not. Eliot asks why they only ever went after one hospital administrator, and Hardison points out that he was the one who said that's how you bring a city to its knees. Eliot says it would need to be all the hospitals, and Parker realizes that there's a link between all three targets. Hardison pulls up their histories and finds that they all went to a symposium in DC on terror attacks, led by another DC native, whose research might be used as a blueprint. Eliot sees there's a home address and tells Parker to drive them there.

They arrive at the address, and Eliot knocks. When there's no answer, he lets Parker take over and Hardison says he's not looking forward to finding another body. Eliot tells him to focus on the research as Hardison helps Parker with her tools. Parker breaks in and Hardison step inside, but Eliot pulls him back. Hardison hears a click, and Eliot points out that wood floors don't do that. Hardison asks if he's standing on a pressure plate, and Eliot says that he is. Parker tells Eliot to pull him back, but Eliot says that will cause it to go off. Everything in front of the bomb could be rigged. Parker has a plan and uses arranges herself so that she's wrapped around Hardison. He suggests a kiss for luck, but Parker doesn't believe in it. She then bends back and is able to defuse the bomb. The three collapse and they all agree that the doctor is not the hit.

They start going through his research, and Eliot finds a suspension notice from his job. Hardison finds his research, and that employees were complaining about the doctor when he was working. Hardison realizes that all the doctors research is there, but the experiments were at the pig farm. Parker asks what the trailer Vance found is for, while Eliot calls him to give him a warning. He's unable to get a hold of him, but Hardison asks for the phone. He says that Vance's Bluetooth is connected to the car, but Parker says that won't work if the car is off. Hardison says that there's always a little bit of power, and he's able to get an SOS out to Vance's men. Eliot asks if it works, and Hardison is able to get sound from the phone of the men retreating. Parker sighs in relief as Eliot screams in joy and hugs Hardison.

Eliot says they now have to find the doctor, and Parker suggest the grocery store, given that the fridge is full of eggs. Hardison says that's weird, but is gonna track his phone instead. Eliot says that he's gonna go somewhere crowded and the three run out. Hardison is able to find him underground, and Parker leads them down into the subway. They run through the station, but Hardison is having trouble finding him through the network. The doctor gets on the train, just as Parker comms to let the boys know that so is she. Eliot tells her to comm them when she finds the doctor and the two run to meet her at the next station. Parker tries to correct that she's literally on the train, but instead just decides to focus on what she's doing.

They start to run to the stopped train, but Parker is having trouble IDing the guy. Eliot says that the guy is gonna be nervous and twitchy, but Hardison says that he won't. He realizes that the guy already vaccinated himself, and Eliot yells this to Parker. She says that's good enough, and finds the doctor as the boys get on the train. Hardison gets everyone off the train, just as Parker is able to pick the briefcase handcuffed to the doctor. She runs away as Eliot launches himself at the doctor, but gets shot in the process. The boys get to Parker who asks if Hardison can stop the bomb. Hardison asks if Eliot is okay, but Eliot just tells him to disarm the bomb. Hardison says he can't since the glass edges are wired, but Parker pulls out a diamond and uses it to cut the glass.
