Short summary

A childless US couple asks help after Luka Vladic, the pre-teen boy they bought naively from ruthless ex-Yugoslavian gangsters, wasn't delivered. Nathan accepts, aware formerly foster-abused orphan Parker is very emotional about the subject. They trace the whole network to Serbia, and conceive a fake B-movie production as a sting. Meanwhile Parker discovers Luka is hidden with many, mostly kidnapped, kids in a warehouse. it's mainly used by a powerful arms-dealer, yet she refuses to abandon any child 'merchandise'.

The line where Eliot says 'How was I supposed to know it was a lesbian bar' had to be inserted to explain actual injuries that Christian Kane had sustained. He was throwing a football with Timothy Hutton after a late night poker game when he slipped and fell on asphalt, grazing his cheek and splitting his lip.

Nate, playing a director as part of the con, fires off a rifle to signal "action". Director Samuel Fuller was famous for doing this.

Belgrade was "played" by Budapest. When the team goes to Belgrade, the images shown of the Statue and the river with the bridge, that's actually the Statue of Liberty and the Lánchíd (Chain-bridge) overlooked by the Royal Castle, all in Budapest, Hungary.

Christian Kane (Elliot) and David Lee (Nicolas) go on to appear together on The Librarians as Jake Stone and Moriarty respectively.

Male members of the Leverage team comment that they've seen Irina Larenko act in a number of Emmanuelle movies. The Emmanuelle franchise is a long running series of French erotic films about the sexcapades of the protagonist Emmanuelle.

This was 108 in production, but is 109 to air. The entire season was shot out of order.

    Since from the start we get to know that the whole scam job will take place in Belgrade, Serbia. So the first scenes are actually some helicopter sunset views of the Danube river and that is really Belgrade, however, once we're in the American Embassy for the dinner things changes.

    There is a scene in which Parker abandons the tray (she's playing a waitress) on a table and walks towards a balcony to watch the panorama of the city from there. Here's the funny thing: IT IS FLORENCE, ITALY.

    I spent 11 years in Florence and I'm positive that panorama you can only see from Piazzale Michelangelo, in a three seconds shot we can clearly distinguish the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio (city hall), half a min later we can also notice the church of Santa Croce.

    OK, I like this show but they totally blew it. At one point they show a flashback from where Sophie so saying why she new US ambassador. On this scene we see a check with the name HRH Princess of Slovenia. Are they nuts? Slovenia does not have princess. Come one. At least they could check on internet. OK, I know it was a hoax of Sophie but still. It's not fair that they use small countries for such things. I wonder if US would be OK if some other country used their country for something like that. In cases like that they should just make up the country. If it was meant to be a hoax for Sophie then she should use hoax country.

    I have just stared to watch Leverage and must say it started good until all the cheesy acting kicked in. if it stayed in the pro oceans line would come out great. now about season 1 episode 6 when the check is handed out to prince Magda of Slovenia for a trans Ukarine pipe line... :=) we are not nearly enough close to the county to call them neighbor's. and we don't have monarchy to have princesses. fact 1 Slovakia and Slovenia two completely different countries fact 2 The last Monarchy that was seen in Slovenia was before 1.world war in fourthermore its a shame that a show wit such potential is ruind with bad writing of a joke or just trying to make a story better with like !he gave away his sheare of money to children hospital like a good guy should! in overall is good wanna b better. ty
