#rundown job

[ID: Sketch of Eliot from the rundown job on the train after being shot once. He is crouching beside a barrier and leaning one shoulder on it, his arms resting on his thighs, and the index and middle fingers of the left arm have blood on them. He has a gunshot wound in his left shoulder, and his lips parted as he breathes through the pain of the injury, watching ahead of himself to where Hardison and Parker are disarming the bomb. End ID]

Whumptober 2022 Day 15: Breathing through pain

Just trying to sketch that moment on the train after Eliot's been shot once, and is obviously in pain but the job's not done yet.

The Rundown Job was really the OT3 episode, uh?

I knew they worked well together, that's been obvious for a while. But in an episode of just them, it really hits how in sinc they are.

Hardison and Eliot doing their little handshake after watching Parker do her acrobat thing through a lazer grid.

Eliot's first concern being to get Hardison and Parker to safety. Them refusing to let Eliot go up against a terrorist attack. Parker's line about how they change together, for better or worse.

Eliot not being scared of the terrorists attack because he has Hardison and Parker on his side and he believes in them more than anything.

Also when Eliot put his hand on the back of Hardison's neck and looked into his eyes? That was so intimate. The tension was serious with undertones of sexual. It had the same tension as Parker diffusing the bomb.

The silent communication. The celebrating each other's victories.

Eliot throwing down the crutch in favor of leaning on his partners.

I'm sure other stuff I missed, it being only my first watch through and all. But that's the stuff that stood out the most to me.

which fucking queer sat down in the writer’s room for leverage and wrote the rundown job huh ??? HUH ???

why is hardison fist bumping his “best friend” about how hot his girlfriend is ?? why is eliot grabbing hardison by the back of neck, pulling him in with the most intense stare ever, and then doing the verbal praise equivalent of making out with him ??? eliot is an obviously traumatized self reliant prickly bastard, and yet he decides to throw away his crutches and completely rely on the other two for support ???

god take me now. leverage writers had absolutely zero business drenching this episode with all this polyamorous energy in the year of our lord 2012– hell gay marriage wasn’t even federally legal yet. they knew exactly what the fuck they were doing and i am kissing them on the mouth for it.

A couple great bits from the Rundown Job:

"Three foreign presidents choppered out of the city when they heard you were around" This is your daily reminder that Eliot is fucking terrifying sometimes

"Find a way to get her out of here!" "With what?" "You stole a Michelangelo with tin foil and chewing gum figure it out!" Funny, and a nice little call back to season one.

And Parker driving:

It's got some fun bits amid the heaviness and the character growth.

[storybook-souls]

it is so funny that leverage was like "alright this is the last season let's split up our main characters for two episodes and do slightly different genres than we usually do. we're gonna send nate and sophie on a charming little art theft slash murder mystery and send eliot and parker and hardison on an incredibly high stakes spy thriller. both episodes are gonna be SIMMERING with polyamorous sexual tension btw."

#tell me WHY do nate and sophie spend the entire frame up job flirting with sterling..... #how does rundown job manage to be that horny.... #leverage

"This is a scene that people who love each other and love a show make and Dean, you shot the hell out of this. I mean, this is -" "I think it's the best scene ever between Eliot and Hardison." "Oh, absolutely." "It's the best scene we got out of these two, it's like -" "We never got to do that. First time you ever see that ever between these two. You know it but you didn't never get to see it." "But that’s the thing, it’s always underneath, you know?" - John Rogers, Aldis Hodge, and Christian Kane, The Rundown Job DVD Commentary

Eliot taking his jacket off in The Rundown Job, making himself a more prominent target for the gunman with his bright red t-shirt, just perfection…he didn’t need to do that. Eliot fights in multiple layers of shirts and jackets and hoodies plenty of times, but he did, and now he’s brightly coloured and running at the guy, making himself the most likely one for the bullets to hit.

The clothing colours at the end of that ep also echo the ones at the end of the pilot episode and that is pleasing…but I digress a lot from the point. Point is I was sketching from Rundown and just enjoy the red t-shirt.

#leverage #the rundown job #eliot doing things to protect parker and Hardison

[faorism]

once, on a mountain, they confessed to one another: what makes them them is that they would leave a dead man behind to save their own lives.

then, in a train tunnel about to face the end of the world, there is a nod. an agreement struck deep and true and together. this time, they are the only ones who can do the job because they know they may die but it's an easy choice, for them.

hardison tells parker in that tunnel (and later, eliot once they are all curled around each other under sheets and the weight of what could have been) that she can't do that again, she can't. he can't. hardison needs them.

but eliot and parker are who they are because they can make the call. and they would. any and every time. eliot knows this for sure. because for all your intentions, you can only make the promise to be there for one person at a time when push comes to shove. that parker would make the same choice as him is why he loves her and why she loves him. because they alone would break their oath (that they change together) so that the man they both love—and the world he treasures—may yet live.
