Stars Timothy Hutton and Christian Kane are having a tense exchange having to do with Kane's character, Eliot, and his connection with an evil financier, Damien Moreau, the "Leverage" gang has been chasing. They confront each other in the middle of one of the park blocks near the Portland State University campus. Co-stars Aldis Hodge, Gina Bellman and Beth Riesgraf sit on park benches on either side of Hutton and Kane, watching them uneasily.
The actors nail their lines. But Devlin spots something unplanned in the image on the monitor and points it at it, smiling -- it's a squirrel, zipping around, oblivious to the confrontation taking place nearby.
Hutton and Kane finish the scene, and there's a break before the actors do another take. Hutton says he has come to feel at home in Portland, and admits to a fondness for Powell's and El Gaucho and the RingSide restaurants.
The actors take their places again, and just as the sound recording begins, a loud blast from a passing truck erupts. They continue. But before long, some high-volume birds start squawking.
Another break. Hutton whistles the theme from "The Andy Griffith Show." Bellman gives him a skeptical look.
"You can't whistle," Hutton teases her. "That's a British thing, right?"
"I can't whistle in tune," says Bellman, who was born in New Zealand but later moved to London.
The actors take their places to do another take. Devlin is hungry, and someone goes across the street to a hot dog shop to buy him a hot dog.
He takes a bite, and watches the monitor again.
As the morning goes on, a small crowd gathers on the sidewalk to watch the filming. Others walk by, not turning their heads, but heading instead for the Wednesday farmers market a few blocks down.
And the filming goes on.
