For five years Leverage has proven that sometimes bad guys make the best good guys. This eclectic assemblage consisting of a hacker, hitter, grifter, thief and con artist have taken on everything from evil corporations to corrupt politicians to untouchable crime lords, always to the benefit of those being taken advantage of. Along the way, the five former loners have become family. However, all good things must come to an end and the next four cons may just be their last. Here are the listings for the next original episodes airing on TNT leading up to the season five finale…and possibly the end of the series! Is this the end of the road for Nate, Sophie, Eliot, Hardison and Parker? Tune in starting tonight to find out.

Leverage focuses on a team of five top-notch specialists out to give everyday people a helping hand against the machinations of corrupt bigwigs. Leading the crew is mastermind Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton), a former insurance investigator whose son died when his employer refused to pay for life-saving surgery. Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman) is the team’s resident grifter, a brilliant con artist who shares a long and complicated history with Nate – both professionally and romantically. Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane) provides muscle as the team’s bone-crunching retrieval specialist with a passion for gourmet cooking and a soft spot for the underdog. Gadget and technology wizard Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) provides the team with everything from communications and video surveillance to target dossiers and virtual environments, rarely getting the credit he feels he deserves. And Parker (Beth Riesgraf) is the team’s thief, a slightly off-center charmer who gets giddy at the thought of rappelling off a building or cracking an unbreakable safe.
