MADRID, D-DAY
[classical music plays]
[chattering indistinctly]
[crowd cheering]
[Tokyo] Remember Plan Chernobyl?
It was a desperate plan from our last heist.
It involved raining money down on Madrid
so we could make our escape if everything went wrong.
It was intended to create chaos.
And that was exactly what we needed right now.
Chaos.
[cell phone ringing]
-[dentist] Do you wanna get that? -Uh-huh.
Yeah?
[spits]
What blimps?
[blimp engine roars]
I'll be there in eight minutes.
The blimps are programmed to go to specific coordinates,
and once they get there, their doors will open.
After that, they'll fly in a radius of 250 meters
releasing bills at intervals of 40 seconds for a 50-minute period.
Imagine
on that day the money raining down will be like Manna from heaven.
In total, we'll release 140 million euros.
[blows raspberry]
It ain't cheap going into the lion's den, right?
They call you
and all of us Robin Hoods.
It makes sense that some of the money goes back to the people.
[slow classical music plays]
[crowd cheering and shouting]
[feedback rings]
[Professor] This message…
is for all of you who see this mask as a symbol of resistance.
We need you.
The state has declared war on us.
A filthy war.
And we've decided to stand up to them.
[footsteps approaching]
[Professor] The police have arrested one of us in a foreign country.
[woman] Aníbal.
You can't sleep?
Aníbal Cortés.
Come on,
let's get some coffee.
[Professor] It's been more than two months since his arrest.
And no formal charges have been made.
They haven't requested extradition.
They haven't provided a lawyer.
He's being held captive
in some unknown place.
And in all likelihood,
they are torturing him.
[Rio screams]
So we are demanding
that his illegal detention be brought to an end right now
and that he's brought to justice while respecting legal standards.
The state began this war.
We're not going to hide.
Whoa.
We're going to fight…
blow
by blow.
And this time…
CALLAO MOVIE THEATER
…the heist will be even bigger.
[dramatic music plays]
Furthermore…
what is really going on is a chess game.
We are moving pieces that force central intelligence
to move other pieces.
And Prieto can only do one thing.
-[techno music plays] -[horns honk]
I want the army in the streets!
They're waiting for us to go running after those balloons.
But they don't know it's the best diversion we've seen in our fucking lives.
Raise the alert to level 5.
If they have the balls to announce they're going to rob us,
they're gonna find everything fortified. Fuck!
Whoever attacks first
will have more time.
But whoever's defending the attack won't have any time to prepare.
So, on the spot, Prieto will be forced to improvise with his best defense.
Yes, the president gave the green light. I want Madrid filled with soldiers.
Bring out the LMV, the troop trucks and armored cars--
Armored cars, fuck! There's nothing wrong with my mouth.
And this is how we'll lay our trap.

It was a beautiful heist, huh?
And I'm glad that you're alive.
Thank you.
Of course, the rat that hides outside
always has a better chance of surviving, right?
I was the most exposed during the heist.
No, don't give me that bullshit.
The ones who face the bullets are the most exposed, my dear.
-How many times were you shot at? -I'm not here to argue.
Look, if I'm being frank,
I couldn't care less why the fuck you came here.
All I know is after more than three years,
here we are.
So I'm gonna tell you why you didn't enter the Royal Mint.
Because you're a coward.
And because
you had him do the dirty work.
Your brother.
A heist like that always has a contingency.
A contingency?
I'll be very clear.
You didn't go in
and a third of your crew died, you son of a bitch.
A third of your crew died and you did nothing, not a fucking thing.
I feel it just like you do.
How the fuck could you feel like me?
You son of a bitch!
[panting]
I wouldn't have let him die!
I'd have gone in and gotten him out!
I would have done whatever the fuck it took!
Even if I had to blow the building up!
I'd blow the fucking building, but I wouldn't have let him die.
You let him die.
Who do you think you're talking to, you son of a bitch?
Some dumbass from your gang?
I know you, Sergio.
I know what kind of person you are.
He was my friend.
He was everything to me.
He was my other half.
Look me in the eyes
and tell me you never thought of it.
That he'd let himself get killed.
With all your calculations, you son of a bitch,
tell me you didn't consider your brother's death.
Hmm?
I didn't consider my brother's death.
Not even once.
[cries]
[sobbing]
I don't know how to live without him.
I'm sorry, it's not your fault either. You know that, right?
It wasn't your fault,
okay?
Okay.
How are you?
I'm… I'm fine.

-Denver, not now. -No, right now.
I can't go inside 'til we fix this.
-Grab your gun and do what you have to do. -Mónica, let me explain.
It was 3:00 a.m. I didn't know what I was saying. Forgive me.
So that's a good reason not to talk to me for three days?

We could activate their microphones, cameras and GPS.

It took less than one hour to tap into
the telecommunications system of the entire defense staff.
The work Rio used to do
was now handled by 65 Pakistanis.

Stop with the leg. You're gonna wake Cincinnati.
-[creaking stops] -Cincinnati is fine.
I'm the one who's not fine.
Mónica, I'll be honest with you. I don't want you in that bank.
-I mean, fuck, sweetie, we have a son. -Calm down before--
How am I gonna calm down? It's been three weeks since I've had any sleep.
We're not Bonnie and Clyde, Mónica.
Fuck, you were a secretary at the Mint, not Rambo.
Shit!
-Denver… -What?
I'm ready to go in there and no matter what, I'm gonna do it.
How are you ready? From hanging out here, studying with the Professor at crime camp?
-Give me a fucking break. -Listen.
No, you listen to me, Mónica!
I've been preparing for this my whole life, since I was a kid.
I'd go out to play with a ball
and some assholes would take it away to fuck with me, so I fight them.
The next day was the same, they do it again and again…
By nine, not even God himself would fuck with me.
You don't learn that overnight. And you don't abandon a kid…
here with some monks.
I'm not abandoning him.
-It's three days, not his entire life. -What about breastfeeding?
-[Mónica] Breastfeeding? -[Nairobi] Come on.
-[Denver] Mother's milk. -[Nairobi] Helsi!
-Helsi, are you awake? -[Denver and Mónica fight in other room]
Yeah, I'm awake.
[Denver] You're his mother…
-I can't sleep with Jesus looking at me. -[Nairobi] Jesus? What about them?
Denver's unbelievable… I'm so over this.
Just shut up!
Listen to me.
I am a mother, but I'm also your wife.
-And now I'm a thief. -No, you're not.
And having a child doesn't mean I stop being other things.
You're a father and you're not staying here.
All right, we're not Bonnie and Clyde, but I learn fast and I'm not afraid.
I prepared for the entrance exam for the Mint for only six weeks.
You can prepare for the Mint. You can't prepare for something like this.
That secretary doesn't exist.
Mónica Gaztambide no longer exists, Denver.
She stayed there in the Royal Mint
shooting at the police to save your ass, Tokyo's and Rio's.
Don't tell me to stay and warm baby bottles
'cause I'm as much of a thief as you mother fuckers.
You sexist asshole.

-Nairobi. -[Nairobi] What?
-Don't leave me alone. -[Nairobi] Hey, girl.
Hey, hey, are you okay?
No. No, I'm not okay.
I'm not surprised. I heard everything.
-[Nairobi] That ape pulled the breast… -Mónica…
You are part of the gang.
Mónica, you didn't understand what I was--
She understood everything. You're a caveman.
What does that mean? "A caveman."
-To your cave! -What's wrong, girls? What's going on?
Oh, hey, buddy. Just dealing with the patriarchy.
The patriarchy?
That old paradigm and its chauvinistic tendencies.
Let's talk about it.
You know what the real patriarchy is?
-[Stockholm] What? -The meat between my legs.
What the fuck is going on?
-Take it easy. -Go do the dishes!
You're not sexist. You're an asshole! Fuck this!

Forgive us, Professor. We just had an argument tonight.
I'm going to sleep with Tokyo.

Are you okay?
I'm nervous.
Well, relax. After all, it's just like…
like a game of chess.
Only it's the Chess World Championship and so…
It'll be a long match.
There will be an opening
a battle and
two opposing strategies.

Hey, you have to say "The Lord is with thee."
We're in a sacred place. Have some fucking respect.
Good afternoon. May I?
Of course, Sergio. Here.
[Professor] Thank you.
I've been studying the two plans in depth.
I've compared them and I have to say that the plan for the Mint is difficult,
very difficult, but it's possible and thorough.
But the Bank of Spain…
It's just crazy
and, above all, it's impossible.
-[scoffs] It seems impossible… -[Professor] It is.
The fact that it seems impossible is what makes it so beautiful.
It looks impossible, but…
Palermo, the details.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bank of Spain.
We're going down ten meters,
twenty,
thirty,
forty…
Until we reach her.
The vault,
which is exactly 48 meters underground.
The chamber is completely airtight.
Why?
Because it floods, ladies and gentlemen.
Those ingenious Galician bastards.
You have to be a sadistic son of a bitch to invent this.
-Show a little respect. -It's a compliment, maestro.
It's a genius piece of engineering. It's a marvel. One of a kind.
They channeled two streams to run directly to the gold vault.
Forty-five kilometers of reinforced underground piping.
Why?
If anyone dares to knock on this tiny door…
the vault will flood in less than 20 minutes, my friends.
You might touch the gold, but you'll get squished like a toad and drown.
-It's incredible. -[Denver chuckles]
Everything is so difficult that nobody expects anyone to try to break in.
And that's why it'll work.
In fact, it's very simple.
If you apply a bit of talent
and science.
The best minds in engineering,
in physics,
in fluid mechanics… Just picture them planning a heist.
Excellence in robbery.
But how the fuck will you get in?
Let's see.
There's Civil Guard officers, security men and the governor's personal escort.
It's a strategic location. The army will arrive in minutes.
It is impossible to get in dressed as a thief, of course.
Now Sergio,
imagine that you're the hero the whole world is waiting for
to save them from the chaos.
[both laugh]
It's very easy to create chaos, little brother.
I'm telling you,
they will receive us with open arms.
CIVIL GUARD
I'm Captain Garrido,
first platoon, sixth BRIPAC company.
Lieutenant Alcázar.
My orders are to assume control over security of the building.
Remove these people.
[crowd clamoring]
Enlarge the perimeter to 150 meters from the front of the bank.
And open the back door. Convoy is on its way.
[tense music plays]
Girls, we're pulling up.
We have orders to coordinate with you… but not to let a convoy inside.
Sir, the convoy's arrived.
I will not give that order to my men.

[man] Stop the truck.
[Nairobi]They're stopping us.
Sir.
They require immediate access.
Jiménez.

I need confirmation for access of the BRIPAC platoon
to enter the Bank of Spain.
What the fuck is happening?
[Professor distorted] This is Colonel Castro.
We just declared alert level 5. I repeat, alert level 5.
From this moment on, the defense of the interior of the Bank of Spain
and its perimeter is assigned to the army.
You're to put all your men under Captain Garrido's command
until the arrival of Colonel Cerceda, understand?
Understood. Right away, Colonel.

Aikido.
Using the strength of your enemy in your favor.
For instance, the ten of us cannot take the Bank of Spain.
The strength of our enemy is far greater than our own. That's why…
we will apply aikido.
What do you mean, Professor?
Whatever we can't do ourselves
will be done by the Civil Guard,
the Spanish Army and even the bank's own security.
[crowd clamors]
[Professor] They will make sure no one gets within 150 meters.
We will find out the exact number of hostages in the building.
How many people are in this building?
The bank security guards will give us the number.
Three hundred sixty-seven.

We're going to evacuate the building in two phases. Group one and group two.
They will escort all the extra hostages out of the building
and will have taken a problem off our hands.
