Leo Caruso

"'I'm not jumping out of a plane!' - One of Leo's recorded lines."Leo Caruso is a video game character, one of the two protagonists of A Way Out, a prequel to It Takes Two. He is a former friend of Vincent.

A Way Out
Leo is one of the two playable protagonists of this game along with Vincent. He was raised in an orphanage, where he met his wife Linda, which they committed petty thefts together. Eventually in their adult years, they had a son named Alex. He eventually enters a life of crime. Around 1972 in Five Lakes, Colorado, Leo was betrayed by his former boss Harvey and was left to be arrested. After serving 6 months out of 6 years, a fellow inmate, Vincent, is locked up as well. The two teamed up to escape and kill Harvey, who double-crossed them both. After a long journey, they succeed but Vincent is revealed to be an undercover police officer. The two engaged in a brutal fight across the city of Five Lakes, where it unfortunately ended with one of them dead and the other to walk free.

It Takes Two
Leo and Vincent make an appearance as dolls who are firmly stuck to their stands with buttons below their stand, which can be pushed, making them say recorded lines from their respective game.

Cody and May stumble upon the dolls, in which May asks what they are, which Cody responds by saying that he got them for their daughter, Rose from his favorite video game. The buttons can be pushed. If the two push the buttons at the same time, a hidden cutscene triggers where the two talk to each other.

Leo asks Vincent if he thinks he is going to get away with what he did to him, in which Vincent tells him to drop it, which Leo says that he will never drop it and threatens Vincent. The latter then asks what he is going to do, in which Leo responds by saying that he is going to "kick [Vincent's] ass", but Vincent, unfazed, says that he isn't going to do anything as he is doll. Leo desperately tries to move, but he remains stuck to his stand, much to his frustration.

Trivia

 * When Leo asks if Vincent thinks he is going to get away for what he did to him, it could be possible that perhaps, the canon ending to A Way Out is where Vincent shoots and kills Leo. However, he could also be alluding to his betrayal.
