[man] Stop or I'll shoot!
-[gunshot] -[woman] No!
-[gun cocks] -[woman panting]
My name is Tokyo.
But when this story began, that wasn't my name.
SUSPECT ON THE RUN HEIST LEAVES THREE DEAD
That was me.
And that was the love of my life.
ONE ASSAILANT KILLED
The last time I saw him, I left him in a pool of blood with his eyes open.
[sobbing]
-We pulled off 15 perfect heists. -[sobbing]
But mixing love and business never works.
So, when the security guard fired,
I had to change my profession
from thief to murderer.
And that's when I started to run.
In a way, I was dead too.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Tokyo] Well, almost dead.
FOR SALE
I'd been hiding for 11 days.
And my picture was in every police station in Spain.
I'd get thirty years, and to be honest,
growing old in a prison cell isn't for me.
I'd rather be on the run.
Body and soul.
And if I can't run with my body,
at least let my soul escape.
[phone line rings]
[Tokyo] I was almost out of time, and I had a lot to do.
Actually, just one thing.
[phone ringing]
Yes?
[Tokyo] Mom?
Oh, my girl.
How are you, honey?
What's going on?
[Tokyo] Have you been watching the news?
Have you heard what they said about me?
Of course I've been watching.
Guess what?
I'm thinking of going on a trip. Maybe getting a job on a Chinese boat.
As a cook.
You say I can't even fry an egg.
-But now I'll learn. -[chuckles]
Well, I don't know.
They might only eat Chinese food.
This trip, what does it mean?
That I won't see you again?
[laughs] Of course not. We'll see each other.
Maybe I can get you a ticket so you can come visit me.
Visit you where?
The cemetery?
Are you alone?
-Mom, are you alone? -Yeah.
[Tokyo] Then go down to the street, towards the grocery store.
I'll find you.
And that day, the day I was going to the slaughterhouse,
my guardian angel appeared.
You can never be sure what a guardian angel will look like.
But what you never imagine,
is for him to drive up in an old Sedan from 1992.
Excuse me, do you have a minute?
No.
There's an upside to cooking on a Chinese boat…
You don't have to do the dishes.
[Tokyo] For a moment I thought to myself,
"I guess he's got a point."
-Who are you? A cop? -Wait. You're going to the slaughterhouse.
The police are waiting for you. The ITU's been following you for--
[Tokyo] Why should I believe you?
[Tokyo] And that's how I met the Professor.
By pointing a gun at his balls.
May I?
[Tokyo] The good thing about relationships
is that we end up forgetting how they started.
May I?
They're at your mother's house.
That's why I want to help you.
I have a business proposal.
A heist. A heist that's…
unique.
I'm looking for people
who don't have much to lose.
How does stealing
2.4 billion euros sound to you?
[Tokyo] No one has ever scored that big.
Not even in New York, London, or Monte Carlo.
So if my picture was gonna be in the news again,
at least it'd be for the greatest heist in history.

WELCOME
[Professor] Welcome everyone.
And,
I want to thank all of you for
-accepting this job offer. -[man 1 chuckles]
We'll live here.
Away from the worldly noise.
[stammers] Five months we'll spend studying how to pull off this heist.
What do you mean "five months"?
Are you crazy or what?
Look, people spend years just studying
to earn a salary, which even in the best-case scenario,
is just a salary, a shitty salary.
What's five months?
I've been thinking about this…
for much longer.
So I don't need to work ever again.
And neither will you.
And neither will your children.
Great. Currently, you don't know each other.
And I want to keep it like that. Nobody should use their names,
or ask personal questions.
And, obviously, relationships are forbidden.
I'd like each of you to pick a name. Something simple.
It could be numbers, planets, cities--
So, Lord 17 and Lady 23?
We already got a problem, I can't even remember my phone number.
You can't even use one.
[laughs]
[man 2] So, planets?
I'll be Mars, he's Uranus.
I'm not Uranus, so forget it.
-[man 2] What's wrong with Uranus? -It's an asshole.
We'll use cities. Use cities.
It's cities. Agreed then?
Great.
[Tokyo] And that's how I started calling myself Tokyo.
The one looking at my ass is Berlin.
A wanted man all over the world.
Twenty-seven heists. Jewelry stores, auction houses, and armored vehicles.
His biggest score: Les Champs-Élysées in Paris, 434 diamonds.
He's like a shark in a swimming pool.
You can swim with him, but you're always nervous.
He was in charge of the heist.
[man 1 coughing]
-The one coughing is Moscow. -[coughs]
[Tokyo] The first thing he dug was a mine in Asturias.
Later, he figured out that he'd make more money by digging upwards.
Six fur shops, three watch shops, and the Rural Credit Union of Avilés.
He is an expert with any industrial tool.
The one behind Moscow is Denver. His son.
Drugs, busted teeth, broken ribs.
He's the king of bar fights.
Pure, hot-blooded.
A ticking time bomb perfect for a heist.
Rio, he's my weakness.
He's the Mozart of computers.
He's been coding since he was six
and knows everything about alarms and electronics.
As for everything else, it's as is he was born yesterday.
And there you have the twins, Helsinki and Oslo.
Even the most sophisticated plan needs soldiers,
and what's better than two Serbs?
Maybe they can think. But, frankly, we'll never know.
[woman laughs]
[Tokyo] Nairobi.
A hardened optimist.
She's been counterfeiting bank notes since she was 13.
Now she's our quality control manager.
She may be crazy, but she's a lot of fun.
Realize that the news will be talking about us every day.
And every family in this country will be wondering,
"What are they doing?"
What else will they be thinking?
"Those motherfuckers. I wish I'd thought of that first."
[Tokyo] The Professor.
No criminal record, no registration.
Hasn't renewed his ID since he was 19.
For all intents and purposes, a ghost.
But a very intelligent ghost.
We're not stealing their money.
It is not theirs.
And for that reason alone, they're gonna like us.
And that's vital.
It is vital that we have positive support from the public.
We'll be seen as fucking heroes in this country.
But be very careful,
because the second any blood is shed, and this is very important,
if there is a single victim,
we'll stop being Robin Hoods
and we're simply going to become a bunch of sons of bitches.
Professor.
Yes, Miss Tokyo.
What are we robbing?
[suspenseful music builds]
[Professor] The Royal Mint of Spain.

DAY OF THE HEIST FRIDAY, 8:35 A.M.
Who decided on these?
-[Moscow] What's wrong with the masks? -[Rio] They're not scary.
In every movie, the robbers wear scary masks.
Zombies, skeletons, maybe even the Grim Reaper--
[Berlin] I assure you a psychopath with a gun is scarier than a skeleton.
-That's enough. -Who's this guy supposed to be?
Dalí. He was a Spanish painter. A very good one.
-A painter. -Yeah.
-A painter who, like, paints. -Yeah.
[scoffs] You know what's really fucking scary?
Some cartoons for kids. Those are scary.
What cartoons?
Goofy, Pluto, Mickey Mouse, all of those guys.
[Rio] A mouse with big ears is scarier.
-That's what you're saying? -Yes. Want to get kicked in the nuts?
-[Moscow] Hey. -They're scary. Listen to me.
If some bastard with a gun
comes in some place with a Mickey Mouse mask on,
people will think he's a psycho.
He wants to massacre everyone. Know why?
Because weapons and children are two things you should never put together.
Yes or no?
[Berlin] If you look it that way, it's more dangerous, right?
It's more twisted.
[Berlin] Then a Jesus mask would be terrifying. He's more innocent.
Like that saying, "Better to have two guns than a crucifix."
-"Like a Saint with two guns." -[Moscow] Who cares?
[Tokyo] This crew obviously needed more women.
A woman can spend two days choosing shoes for a wedding,
but she wouldn't spend a minute arguing over masks for a heist.
Everything we had planned was about to start.
And in that moment, I thought of the all innocent people
whose lives would suddenly stop because of us.
STATE HIGHWAY E-80 9:25 A.M.
The Professor knew there was only one way
to enter the Royal Mint with three tons of explosives.
It had to be in the truck that entered every week
with the new rolls of currency paper ready to print.
So that's what we were doing to do.
We'd get all the way in, escorted by the National Police.
DETOUR TO RASCAFRÍA
In Spain, anything that has a double escort
means it's heavily guarded.
[siren wailing]
But if you inhibit any radio or phone communication from happening,
and you get some 20-year-old kids to aim assault rifles at cops,
it doesn't matter how well-armed they are, they'll feel just like any of us.
[Berlin] Get out, damn it!
[Denver] Out of the fucking car!
[Tokyo] Scared shitless.
[Denver] Do what I say!
[Tokyo] Courage and heroism come with a price,
and it's higher than the 1,600 euros a month made by a guy in a uniform…
[Berlin] Open the door! Hear me?
[Tokyo] …or a truck driver.
[Moscow] Open it! Right now!
[Tokyo] If those men had their daughters inside the back of the truck,
they never would have opened it.
But who cares about some rolls of watermarked paper?
[Nairobi] Hurry up! Hurry up!
Ah, fuck, man. Come on!
Keep walking!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Sit your ass down.
Now, you three need to clam down, or I'll blow your heads off.
You'll be driving with a gun pointed at your kidneys.
When you get that call on the radio asking if everything is going all right,
you'll answer as if everything were normal.
-[Denver] Come with me. -Is that clear?
[Tokyo] In the middle of that chaos,
I remembered that the night before I was proposed to,
but I had other plans.
Of course if you think about it, there's never a good day for a heist.
So now you know what you have to do.
Don't take your eyes off the girl.
There will be no mistakes.
-Are we clear? -She's 17 years old.
I think I can handle her.
[soft piano music plays]
[laughing]
[phone beeps]
CAN I SIT NEXT TO YOU?
YES
Hello.
Do you want to hang out?
All right, I'll go.
No, no, wait.
I don't even have to think about it.
I do.
[teacher] All right kids, we've arrived.
Everyone go directly to the lobby of the museum,
where we'll wait for the rest of the class.
Everyone be careful getting off the bus and stay together please…
[tour guide] You're looking at the entrance of the Royal Mint.
Everyone head inside.
Our little lamb just entered.
Perfect.
Berlin, your turn.
ROYAL MINT 10:16 A.M.
[Berlin] Now, be careful with what you do.
What's up, Javi? Where's Rafita?
He changed his shift.
[coughing]
[sneezes]
[Berlin] That's very good. Easy.
[tour guide] All right everyone, come through.
Keep coming in. Your badges must be visible at all times.
[grand entrance music]
This helps security to know that you have permission to be on the premises,
so put them around your necks.
Save your questions until we're inside. Everyone stay together…
[man] Don't turn around.
When you're this close to me, I can't even breathe.
Please, breathe,
because nine months from now, you won't be able to breathe at all.
Go ahead.
[tour guide] Make sure these are visible at all times, okay kids?
Passes around the neck. Lower your voices.
POLICE
Berlin, look out, there's a camera on your left.
NATIONAL POLICE
I tell you that I'm pregnant and that means nothing to you?
What should I do? Call my wife, tell her to get the kids,
so we can celebrate together? For God's sake!
[guard] Go. Go.
Okay, okay.
Keep going, keep going.
[truck beeping]
ACCESSING SECURITY NETWORK
[Rio] One…
Ready, Tokyo.
[guard] Go. Go.
ACCESSING CENTRAL ALARM STATION
Yes!
-Alarms are disconnected. -Now.
[guard] Straight back. Straight back.
Just yesterday you were saying that you no longer wanted her,
and you were having problems.
Just like any other couple would, Mónica.
Problems like any married couple with three kids.
I never said I was leaving.
[suspenseful music plays]
Mónica, I have three sons.
And we got pregnant through in vitro.
For more than 20 years I've had infertile sex with my wife.
Now you're telling me this? [laughs]
You must be Shiva, goddess of fertility.
[tense music plays]
[beeping]
What are you implying? I'm not here begging for child support…
or for a divorce.
I'm not asking for a paternity test.
I thought we were in love.
And…
I was happy with that.
[truck beeping]
I know this is going to be difficult,
but I want this for us.
-Hold on. -What?
What am I gonna do with the child?
Is that what you wanna ask?
Listen to me, I just--
[screaming]
[Oslo] Don't move!
No.
[alarm blaring]
-Stay there! -Don't move!
Or I'll fucking kill you!
[guard] What's wrong? Do something!
[shouting]
[man] Go, go, go!
Move! Come on!
-Come on! -[shouting]
[Helsinki] Move fast! Moving!
[Oslo] Let's go! Come on!
[Helsinki] Come on!
[Oslo] Move, move!
Stay here.
[man] Let's go, let's go.
And here, this staircase before us was built
-with marble and-- -[Moscow] Don't move!
[screaming]
Nobody move! Come on! Move back!
[woman] Please! No!
Professor, we have a problem!
[screams]
I can't find the lamb. She's not here, fuck!
Okay then, Miss Parker,
where are you hiding?
[screaming]
Stop.
[Nairobi] Come on! Hurry up, let's go! Let's go!
Stop, stop.
Okay.
You're right.
I'm going too fast. I know.
-[screaming] -[sobbing]
We should remember this moment, right?
-Come on, let's take a picture of us. -Wait, please.
In here? It's kind of gross, no?
This is our first day.
Yeah.
You are really beautiful.
I can't find the girl. I can't find her.
Unbutton this, you'll look sexier.
It's on your phone.
You can delete it if you want. Do it, this is just for you and me.
Okay, okay, okay. [exhales]
-[camera shutters] -[gasps]
This is totally gonna blow up on Instagram.
-Give it to me! Give me my phone! -[laughs]
[girl] Give me to me! What are you doing?
Give it to me, give me my phone! Give me my fucking phone!
Give me my fucking phone now!
[girl screams]
[increasingly tense music plays]
[whimpering, sobbing]
[Berlin] First of all…
Good morning.
I'm the one in charge now.
I'll begin by
offering my apologies.
[Denver] PIN? Name?
I'm aware this isn't the good way to end your week.
But now all of you are here as our hostages.
[whimpers]
[Denver] Cell phone.
Follow our instructions and you'll be safe.
-[Denver] Name? -[girl] Alison Parker.
-[Denver] PIN? -[Alison] Two-zero-one-eight.
[Denver] Cell phone.
[Berlin] It's okay, it's okay.
PIN?
Why? Why do you need my PIN?
Give me the fucking PIN or I beat it out of you. You decide.
How many months?
[whimpers]
-Eight months. -Eight months?
PIN.
One-two-three-four.
[laughing]
You think you are real smart but you got that shitty PIN?
What's your name you moron?
-Arturo. Arturo Román. -Arturo what?
Arturo Román. Good. Arturito.
You're our safe way out of here, so I'm going to protect you.
Hey.
Give me your hands. Relax, relax.
-[cries] -Relax.
[whimpers]
Tell me your name.
Ariadna.
Ariadna…
You come with me, come. It's okay.
Feel my hands.
Are these the hands of a monster?
-No. -No, because I'm not a monster.
I know exactly what you're feeling right now.
Your mouth is drying, heart is racing. You need to try to calm down.
Just breathe, just breathe.
Just breathe.
There you go. Please, everybody, start breathing.
-Breathe. -[everyone inhales, exhales]
Slowly, slowly.
Control your breathing and everything will be fine.
Just like that, just like that.
[phone ringing]
Will Mónica Gaztambide please come forward?
Don't move, don't do it. Don't move. Stay quiet.
-It's okay. -[Arturo] Don't move.
Where are you Mónica Gaztambide? Would you be so kind as to step forward?
That's me.
[metal clangs]
[clicks, then beeps]
[clicks]
[beeping rapidly]
[Denver] You did it, Dad.
Holy shit.
[laughs]
[rapid clicking]
[increasingly tense music plays]
[Denver screams, laughs]
I could spend the night here, Papa.
Damn, I feel like a king.
Papa, Papa, Papa!
Fucking here.
Boom, boom, boom…
Stop fooling around like that and let's back to work. Let's go.
This smells so fucking amazing.
It smells better than roast lamb, Dad, than roast lamb.
-Get on here, damn it. -Enough already.
When did you ever have a bed like this? Not in jail, right?
Do you see where we are now, Papa? We're so great!
-We're so great! -Hey, hey, hey. Don't be so stupid.
We're nothing.
What else can you do?
Ever had a real job? Have you ever made a résumé and sent it out?
Yeah, exactly. Let's go.
Made a résumé?
Made a résumé, what for?
To get you out of Alcalá Meco?
Do you think I'm proud of all of that?
I've been in and out of prison for 12 years.
Wanna know why?
Yeah, why?
Because I'm not smart, son.
And neither are you.
But, in this job, someone else is using their head.
So if we're lucky and don't act like assholes,
we'll get out of here and you'll be set for life.
-I'm not an asshole. -Let's do this, damn it.
[Denver laughs]
Fill 'em up.
[phone ringing]
Answer the phone. Convince whoever is calling
that we shut down because of a technical problem. Understand?
Yes.
I don't have any choice other than to point this gun at you.
-Can you feel it? -Yes.
Good.
Answer.
-Royal Mint Spain, may I help you? -[woman] Can I speak with Arturo, please?
I'm sorry, Arturo is unavailable at the moment.
[woman] Can you tell him it's an important call?
Our system is down.
-[woman] Can you get him? -No, I can't get him.
-[woman stammers] What? I don't-- -He's not able to take calls now.
-[woman] Tell him it's important. -That's not possible.
-[woman] You keep saying that. -No--
I really don't see a reason why you can't just go get him.
Because I don't know. I don't know where he is right now.
I don't know if he's at the museum or at the cafeteria.
He could be anywhere around here ma'am!
That performance deserves an Oscar
Miss Gaztambide.
[clanking]
[Tokyo] Twenty minutes in,
we started wiring our analog communications system
in order to talk to the Professor.
[singing in Serbian]
[Tokyo] Without cell phone or radio frequencies,
so no one could hear us.
We sealed the doors, the alarms hadn't gone off.
It was like we were in limbo.
Because no one knew that we had seized the Royal Mint.
And during that sweet calm before the storm,
it seemed just like
an ordinary day.
You're very handsome.
[giggles]
[knock on door]
-Who is it? -[Rio] It's me. Let me in.
[door closes]
What are you doing? If the Professor catches us, you know--
I know. I need to talk to you. Come on.
Sit down. Sit down, damn it.
[pants]
What's up?
The heist is tomorrow.
We have no fucking idea what will happen.
[sighs]
You should know that I'm serious about you.
And I totally understand that
you're a little older and…
you probably want something more serious.
So I'd like to give you this.
I couldn't buy you a ring because we're stuck in this house.
But when we get out of here, I'll buy you a ring so big,
you'll have to carry on your hand in a fucking wheelbarrow.
Is that right?
What's this, an engagement dog tag?
At least you know my real name now.
We're not allowed to know each others real names.
Well, don't look at it.
But it's yours.
How do I say this to you? [clears throat]
What we have is really good.
Okay? Great.
We've slept together a few nights…
Not just a few nights. Every night except for maybe four or five.
Honestly I…
don't think we're meant for each other.
-[stammers] Isn't the sex good? -Yeah, the sex is fantastic.
That's a good thing, right?
But you need more than good sex to make it all work.
Is this because I'm 12 years younger than you?
I'll get 300 million euros.
I'm not a kid. I'm set for life.
-Really, Rio, I wish there was love. -Hey, can't say that.
We have love. We have love, I feel it.
There's someone else?
No.
Listen, Rio…
When this is all over,
Why don't we go to Tahiti and see if this works?
Because tomorrow there's only one thing I need to focus on.
Not getting killed.
Rio.
Stop.
[intense music plays]
[panting]
Rio, no.
No, no.
You left a phone on.
Then turn it off.
[phone buzzing]
Got the vault open.
Put on your vests and be ready to go.
Then we can activate the alarm.
Berlin, prepare to open the doors.
Hostages!
For your own safety, move three steps to the back!
A little bit more this way. Right here.
There you go. Everything will be all right.
Go closer.
Everything's going to be okay.
-[Alison whimpers] -Shh.
Try to relax.
Relax. They have the bags with them. They've filled them with cash.
They're going to leave. Everything's going to be fine.
[radio static, beeping]
[alarm blaring]
[woman] We have a 10-33 at the Royal Mint.
[man] Z-24, on our way.
-We'll be there in two minutes. -Two minutes.
Two minutes.
Why did the alarm go off?
I don't know.
They're just standing there. I don't understand.
-Why don't they just leave? -I don't know.
One minute and 40 seconds.
One minute and--
What's your name?
Arturo.
-Arturo, is it? -Yes.
I didn't see anything!
-I didn't see anything, I swear! -Look at me.
-I didn't see anything. -Arturo. Look at me.
-No I can't. -Look at me.
-[sobbing] -Look at me. Hey, hey.
Come on now, look.
Hey.
Do you like movies?
Do you?
Yes.
I'm a big fan.
Okay then. Have you noticed how in horror movies…
in the beginning there's always the nice guy,
and you say to yourself,
"He's gonna get himself killed."
Yes.
And then it happens.
He gets killed.
[sobbing]
Arturo, trust me,
you're gonna be that guy.
[sobs uncontrollably]
[man] Z-24 to Central, we're 30 seconds away.
Thirty seconds.
We've got 30 seconds.
Listen, it's imperative that the police have absolutely no idea what we're doing.
We want them to think this is just a heist.
That they caught us as we were leaving with the money,
that we took out our guns to defend ourselves,
and that we had no other choice
but to retreat.
And then,
without hurting anyone…
we go back inside.
Let them think
that we're cornered.
Let them think that we're improvising.
[Tokyo] Now!
Tokyo! Tokyo, wait! Don't shoot!
Tokyo!
[sirens wail]
[Tokyo] Go out, throw the money down, fire toward the ground and go back inside.
-[gunshots] -[screaming]
I'd heard that more than 30 times.
But what the Professor didn't tell us
is that they'd also fire back.
Rio!

[man] Requesting immediate back up at the Royal Mint.
We've taken hostile fire.
Man down. I repeat, man down.
[Tokyo] The bullet of a M16 fires at 2,100 miles per hour.
It travels faster than the speed of sound.
If you get shoot in the heart,
you won't hear the bullet that killed you.
That's how I knew that I fucked it all up.
All in one millisecond,
in the same way as always. cked it all up.
