In Leverage: Redemption Season 3 Episode 4 ‘The Hustler Job,’ the case of the week hits a little too close to home—especially for Harry Wilson. This time, the mark isn’t scamming a stranger. He’s scamming Harry’s mother. Ready?
Here we go!
When the Job Gets Personal
From the very beginning of Leverage: Redemption Season 3 Episode 4 ‘The Hustler Job’ you can feel how much this matters to Harry. This isn’t just about righting a wrong. It’s personal. His mother always disapproved of his past life as a corporate lawyer—she knew he was selling his soul to the highest bidder. And now that he’s helping the powerless instead of protecting the powerful, Harry wants nothing more than to make her proud. To prove that he’s changed. That he’s worth something again.
Sophie sees the warning signs a mile away. She knows Harry isn’t thinking clearly. That he’s far too emotionally involved to be objective. And yet, she lets him take the lead. Not because she thinks it’s a good idea, but because she understands what it means to him. Because she knows he needs this. He needs to try.
But this is Leverage: Redemption, and when someone goes off script, things tend to blow up—literally or figuratively. And Harry? He definitely goes off script. The plan falls apart, and the team gets caught. All because Harry let emotion take the wheel.

A Pool Table Showdown
What follows in Leverage: Redemption Season 3 Episode 4 ‘The Hustler Job’ is one of the most intense showdowns of the season. The conman in question is a manipulative pool hustler who knows exactly which buttons to press. He digs into Harry’s insecurities, needles at the guilt he feels about his mother, and nearly throws him off balance completely.
But Sophie and Harry aren’t about to let him win that easily.
What unfolds between Harry and the hustler at the pool table isn’t just a battle of strategy—it’s a battle of wills. A full-on ego clash. Honestly, it feels like a pissing contest in the best (and worst) way possible. Harry counters every move with precision, refusing to give him an inch. And in the end, the team manages to outsmart him.

Sophie is a Leader in Leverage: Redemption Season 3 Episode 4 ‘The Hustler Job’
Through it all, Sophie was right there—ready to pull Harry back when he went too far. She knew this would happen. She saw it coming. And she still chose to let him try, while preparing to catch him when he fell.
The final scene between them is easily one of the most heartfelt moments of Leverage: Redemption Season 3 Episode 4 ‘The Hustler Job.’ Harry thanks her—not just for trusting him, but for protecting him from himself. For having his back, even when he didn’t realize he needed it.
And most importantly, he takes a step forward. He reaches out to his mother. Because while he can’t undo the past, he can start building something better.
Leverage: Redemption isn’t just about stealing from the rich to give to the poor. It’s about healing. Growth. Redemption. And in ‘The Hustler Job,’ Harry takes a major step on that path. Even if he stumbles along the way.
And we’re here for every second of it.
