ZERO HOUR
Remember Plan Chernobyl?
It was a desperate plan from the last heist.
We'd bring Madrid to a standstill by making it rain money
so we could make our escape if everything went wrong.
The plan was intended to create chaos.
And that was exactly what we needed right now.
Chaos.
Do you want to get that?
Hello?
Wait, blimps?
I'll be there in eight minutes.
The blimps are programmed to fly to certain GPS coordinates.
Then and only then... will they open their hatches.
Afterwards, they will fly in a 250-meter radius,
releasing bundles of money at intervals of 40 seconds
for 50 minutes.
This...
at a height of 300 meters, like manna falling from the sky.
In total, we'll release 140 million euros.
It'll be expensive to venture into the lion's den, right?
They've called you...
and all of us Robin Hoods.
It makes sense that some money goes back to the people.
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 face them.
The police have detained one of us in a foreign country.
Anibal.
You can't sleep?
Anibal Cortés.
Come with me. Let's go get some more coffee.
It's been almost two months since his arrest.
They have not filed formal charges against him.
They haven't requested extradition. They haven't provided him with a lawyer.
He's being held captive...
somewhere unknown, and in all likelihood...
they are torturing him.
So we demand...
that this illegal detention be brought to an end immediately
and that he be brought to justice in a way that respects legal standards.
The state started this war...
and we will not hide.
We will fight,
blow...
for blow.
And this time...
it will be an even bigger heist.
Furthermore,
this is a game of chess.
We're moving pieces that will force the CNI
to move theirs.
And Prieto will only be able to do one thing...
I want the army in the streets!
They expect us to run after those balloons,
but it's the biggest distraction tactic we've ever seen.
Raise alert to level five.
If they have the nerve to announce they're stealing again,
they'll find everything securely guarded. Shit!
Whoever strikes first... has time on their side,
but the one defending against that attack won't have much time to think.
So Prieto will have to improvise his best defense on the spot.
The prime minister gave us authorization. I want Madrid full of soldiers.
I also want LMVs, armored cars--
Armored cars, fuck! Armored cars! There's nothing wrong with my mouth.
This is how we'll lay our trap.
Coming!
Martín.
May I?
PALERMO, ITALY TWO MONTHS UNTIL ZERO HOUR
Want a drink?
The heist was amazing.
I'm glad you're alive.
Thanks.
Of course, the rat that hides outside has the best chance of survival.
-I was the most exposed during the job. -No. Don't bullshit me.
Whoever faces the bullets is the most exposed, dear.
-How many times were you shot at? -I'm not here to argue.
Quite frankly, I couldn't care less why you're here.
Three years later... and here you are.
So, I'll tell you why you didn't go into the Mint.
Because you're a coward.
And because...
you had him to do the dirty work.
Your brother.
-A heist involves unknowns. You know that. -Unknowns?
Let me be really clear.
You didn't go in...
and a third of your group died, you son of a bitch.
A third of your group died, and you did nothing, for fuck's sake.
I'm as sorry as you are...
What the fuck are you sorry for? You son of a bitch!
Andrés wouldn't have died if I'd been there!
I'd have gone in and gotten him out!
No matter the fucking cost!
Even if I had to blow up the whole building!
I wouldn't have let him die, but you did!
Who the fuck do you think you're talking to,
one of those idiots from your group?
I know you well, Sergio.
I know what you're like.
He was my friend.
I needed him.
He was my other half.
Look me in the eye... and tell me that the thought never occurred to you.
That he'd sacrifice himself if needed.
When coming up with your plan, you bastard,
tell me you never considered your brother might die.
I didn't consider my brother's death.
Not even once.
He was my life.
I'm sorry. It's not really your fault.
It wasn't your fault.
It wasn't.
How are you?
All right.
Hanging out with Johnnie Walker...
sucking down pills, eating canned food, but I'm all right.
I found the formula.
Music.
Have you locked yourself up and been listening to music all this time?
I listen to music from my youth and travel there.
To the shabbiest music bars of Buenos Aires.
I dance like I did back then...
when pain didn't exist.
Dance with me.
Come on, don't be a wuss.
Dance!
There you go.
Try this. Look.
Why are you here?
To ask you for permission.
I'm going to steal the gold.
I'd say it's in memory of my brother, but the truth is...
I need to do it.
And I won't do it without you.
Monica.
-Not now. -No, it's got to be now.
Because I'm not going in if we don't fix it.
-Grab your M16 and do what you have to. -I didn't mean what I said.
It was 3:00 a.m. I didn't know what I was saying. Forgive me.
But to stop talking to me for three days...
Things are starting to move.
Can you hear me?
Copy.
-Can you? -Hold on.
Now. Try again.
What are you wearing, Inspector?
Let's do it.
With money to invest in R&D, you can achieve wonderful things.
Three weeks prior to the heist,
we were inside the phones of both the CNI and the police
through applications like WhatsApp.
We could activate their microphones, cameras, and GPSes.
ISLAMABAD PAKISTAN
It took less than an hour to take over the Defense Staff's telecommunications.
Rio's job...
was now done by 65 Pakistanis.
They didn't look like they went to parties in Silicon Valley,
but they were geniuses.
Thanks to them, we had access to everything.
Seventy-six.
Leave all channels free.
The signal is expected to collapse
-in the next few hours. -Three.
Three hundred twelve.
After this point...
...for the following forward lines.
Second Squad, First Company of Brunete: the Congress of Deputies.
First Squad, Second Company of Cuatro Vientos: the Royal Palace.
Third Squad, First Company of Paracuellos: the Senate.
First Squad, Seventh Company of El Goloso: Moncloa Palace.
First Squad, Sixth Company of BRIPAC:
Bank of Spain.
BANK OF SPAIN BRIPAC
Attention.
Yours is the First Squad, Sixth Company of BRIPAC.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are the First Squad, Sixth Company of BRIPAC.
One-six, BRIPAC!
You have 17 minutes.
We have 16 minutes and 45 seconds!
Warm heart, cool head. Come on!
BRIPAC!
Sixth company!
V-I?
Do I need to repeat myself? There's no time left!
Move, damn it!
There's seven minutes left! Hurry the hell up!
THREE DAYS UNTIL ZERO HOUR
Stop shaking your leg. You're going to wake Cincinnati.
Cincinnati is fine. I'm the one who's upset.
Monica, I'll tell you straight out: I don't want you to go into the bank.
We have a fucking baby.
-Calm down before-- -I'm not calming down.
I'm not calming down because I haven't slept for three weeks.
We aren't Bonnie and Clyde, Monica. You're a secretary, not Rambo.
Shit!
-Denver. -What?
-I'm ready to go in, and I will. -Why do you think you're ready?
Because we're studying at the Professor's crime camp? Give me a break!
-Listen to me! -No, you listen to me, Monica!
I've been preparing since I was a child.
I'd go into the street with a ball, and they'd take it from me.
And what did I do? Fight. And the next day, it would happen again.
And the next, and the next...
By the time I was nine, no one dared face me.
You can't learn that in a day. And you can't leave a baby...
here with some monks.
I'm not leaving my kid.
It's just three days, not forever.
What about breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding? He already eats steak!
-You're depriving him of breast milk. -No!
Helsi, are you awake?
Yes, awake.
You're his mother, for fuck's sake!
-I can't sleep with Jesus watching. -No one can with that ungodly racket.
Listen to Denver. I'm fed up with him.
Shut up!
And listen to me.
I am a mother, but I'm also your wife.
-And I'm a robber, too. -No, you're not.
Having a kid doesn't mean I have to renounce the other two.
Like you. You're a dad, but you haven't considered sitting it out.
We may not be Bonnie and Clyde, but I learn fast... and I don't back down.
I studied for and passed my civil service test in six weeks.
What's that got to do with it? You can't study for a heist.
That secretary doesn't exist anymore. Monica Gaztambide is gone, Denver.
She stayed back at the Royal Mint, shooting at the police to save you,
Tokyo, and Rio.
So, don't tell me I'm sitting it out to warm up baby bottles,
because I am more of a robber than any other motherfucker.
Fucking sexist.
-Nairobi. -What?
-Don't leave me alone. -Hey, honey!
-Are you all right? -No, I'm not all right.
I'm not surprised. I heard it all.
-Using breastfeeding against you. -Monica.
-You're part of this gang. -Monica, you didn't get what I meant.
She got every single thing you said. You're a caveman!
-Go to bed! -I'm talking to her!
-Back to your cave! -Are you all right, girls?
Just dealing with the patriarchy here.
The patriarchy?
Patriarchy, that old paradigm with its macho chauvinism....
Let's talk about it. Do you know what the real patriarchy is?
-What? -The one I have hanging here.
What is wrong with you? It's 3:00 a.m.
-Calm down! -Go and do the dishes!
You're not sexist, you're just an asshole!
Go to your room! Go count the pubes on your balls!
Me and my dick, my dick and I, me and my dick--
Do you know what time it is?
It's 3:00 a.m.
Tomorrow morning we need to practice with thermal lances,
at 3,580 degrees Celsius. I think...
you should get some rest.
Go to bed.
Monica, please, come with me.
Sorry, Professor. We had a fight.
I was going to sleep in Tokyo's room.
FORTY-TWO MINUTES AFTER ZERO HOUR
Are you all right?
Nervous.
Well, calm down because this is like...
playing chess.
More like the World Chess Championship, so...
It's going to be a long match.
The opening...
one battle and...
two opposing strategies.
And then checkmate.
Look.
Here, on this side. See if you can feel it.
Another one.
Yeah.
Like a tiny kick.
Every time I have some coffee, it goes crazy in there.
Now, tell me about the handler.
-I don't know anything about any handler. -You don't?
Yes, you do.
Put the mask on.
I don't want to.
Either you do it, or I get Osman to do it.
Come on...
Another little horsey ride.
Let's see if we start remembering.
My ankles are so swollen.
There they are.
Motherfuckers!
I was overwhelmed by all those people insulting us.
I'd have liked to have leaned out the window and shouted,
"I'm Tokyo, one of you.
We are Dalí..."
This mask has become a symbol...
throughout the world...
of resistance, of indignation, of skepticism. It doesn't matter.
What matters is that it has inspired many people.
Look at that.
This is a demonstration against corruption in Rio de Janeiro.
Buenos Aires, Argentina,
several women's rights marches.
Colombia.
Rome.
Paris.
The G20 Summit in Hamburg.
LIBERTY, EQUALITY, RESISTANCE
They have filled entire stadiums.
This is in France.
Saudi Arabia.
What I'm trying to explain to you is that
we have inspired many people to fight.
All these people are now one of us.
Don't you ever forget that.
And there they were.
The Professor had put on the mask,
called all the Dalís out,
and the Dalís had answered.
They planned it all out on social media and WhatsApp groups.
And they shouted in the streets what we needed to hear the most:
"You will never walk alone."
ENOUGH
But all that was just poetry.
The real action was about to begin then and there.
TRAITORS
BANK OF SPAIN 47 MINUTES AFTER ZERO HOUR
Come on! Move!
-Step back! Everyone! -Let's all stay calm.
Come on!
Don't move! Nobody move!
The real convoy is on its way.
It's eight kilometers away.
Eight kilometers only takes six minutes.
They only have six minutes to do it.
-Hail Mary, full of grace... -Quit fucking around.
Hey, you have to say, "The Lord is with thee."
We're in a holy place.
You can be such an ass.
Good afternoon. May I?
Of course, Sergio, of course.
Thank you.
I've been studying the two plans in depth.
I've compared both, and I have to say...
the Royal Mint is difficult-- really difficult--
but possible and thorough.
But the Bank of Spain... is just insane...
and, above all, it's impossible.
-It seems impossible -It is.
And the fact that it seems impossible...
makes it so beautiful.
It seems impossible, but...
Palermo, fill us in.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bank of Spain.
We're going down ten meters, 20...
thirty...
forty...
and here it is:
the vault.
Exactly 48 meters underground.
The vault is completely airtight.
Why?
Because it floods, ladies and gentlemen.
Damn ingenious Spaniards.
You have to be a sick son of a bitch to invent that!
-Show some respect. -It's a compliment.
It's a great work of engineering. It's a marvel.
One of a kind.
They channeled two streams into the chamber with the gold.
Forty-five kilometers of reinforced pipes underground.
-Why? -If anyone dares knock on this door...
the chamber floods in less than 20 minutes.
You might touch the gold,
but you'll get squished like a toad and drown.
It's a marvel.
Everything is so discouraging
that nobody expects anyone to try and break in.
That's why it'll work.
Actually, it's very simple.
If we use talent
and science.
The best minds in engineering...
in physics,
in fluid mechanics... Can you imagine them planning a heist?
Excellence applied to a robbery.
But how on earth are you getting in?
There are Civil Guard officers, 20 private security guards,
and the governor's bodyguards. It's a strategic location.
The army would arrive in minutes.
It's hard to get in if you're dressed as a thief, yes.
But, Sergio, imagine there's chaos,
and you're the hero everyone is waiting for.
And it's very easy to create chaos. I'm telling you...
they'll welcome us with open arms.
CIVIL GUARD
Captain Garrido,
First Squad, Sixth Company of BRIPAC.
Lieutenant Alcázar.
Our orders are to safeguard the building. I want these people out of here.
We need to widen the security perimeter 150 meters from the front of the bank.
And open the back doors. There's a convoy on the way.
Ladies, we're going in.
We have orders to coordinate, not to let a convoy inside.
Sir, the convoy is approaching.
I will not give that order to my men.
Stop that truck.
They're pulling us over.
Sir.
I request immediate entry.
Jiménez.
Give me your radio.
Defense Staff Headquarters.
This is Lieutenant Alcázar, Civil Guard detachment.
I need confirmation for the BRIPAC squad to enter the Bank of Spain.
What the fuck is going on?
This is Lieutenant Colonel Castro. We have just declared alert level five.
Alert level five. Effective immediately,
the army is in charge of defending the Bank of Spain and its perimeter.
Put your men under Captain Garrido's command
until Colonel Cerceda arrives, do you copy?
Yes, sir. Understood.
Let's widen the security perimeter!
I want all those lowlifes on the other side of the street.
Let's clear the area until the full company arrives.
Get the tear gas ready.
And let's get the tear gas ready!
Let them in. Authorization confirmed.
Now we're in business. Finally in.
Do you know what aikido is?
Yes, an air conditioner.
No, those thin chocolate sticks that are neither a snack nor an appetizer.
Ai-ki-do.
Using the enemy's force to your advantage.
We alone can't break into the Bank of Spain.
The enemy's force is much greater than ours.
So...
we'll apply aikido.
What do you mean, Professor?
Whatever we're not able to do will be done by the Civil Guard,
the Spanish army, and even the bank's private security.
They'll ensure that no one comes within 150 meters of the building.
We'll find out the exact number of hostages in the building.
How many people are in the building?
The security staff will provide the numbers.
Three hundred and sixty-seven.
Aikido.
I want all 367 people here in three minutes.
We'll place charges
on the facade and windows in broad daylight without being seen. How?
The smoke bombs the Civil Guard will throw to disperse the crowd.
Aikido.
Evacuation protocol.
I want everyone down here in three minutes.
Move!
-This is not an evacuation drill. -Now.
Evacuation protocol.
We'll get the clients and staff out of the building,
following a well-rehearsed protocol. How?
Let's proceed with the evacuation.
I want everyone down here right now!
Evacuation protocol. Head out in an orderly manner.
The Civil Guard and security will sweep the building,
office by office,
and evacuate everyone in less than three minutes.
Aikido!
Hurry up!
Quickly! Hurry up!
Come on, hurry up!
They'll help us get in all the material we'll need for the heist.
Come on!
Let's go!
Please, I need you all to keep calm.
We will evacuate the building in two groups:
group one and group two.
And they'll escort the extra hostages out.
They'll leave with them and take a problem off our hands.
-Aikido! -Aikido!
Group one, out now!
-Don't move. -Back off.
Come on.
Move forward! Go!
Move forward!
Go!
Move forward!
Don't stay there! Move!
Everyone out!
Don't stop moving! Go to the end of the street!
Move!
Keep walking!
Move forward! Come on!
Move, madam!
Then, when everyone is where they should be...
we'll just need to push a button.
And I'll push...
that button.
There's no turning back.
