HITTER. GRIFTER. NERD. (Leverage)

Following the poor success of Carmichael Industries and the realization that the only people who want to hire ex-spies are the rich and powerful (and dangerous), Team Bartowski encounters the Leverage team and, rather than bringing them in as they were hired to do, they join forces. Carmichael Industries becomes Leverage International's Los Angeles team, with Sarah as their Grifter (and Morgan as their trainee Thief), Casey as their Hitter, and Chuck as their Hacker. Age of the Nerd, baby!
