Later, Raquel brings Salva along to Toledo and finds the robbers' villa, where they planned the heist. | |||||||

| By the Professor's promise that he will free Tokyo from the police, Rio rejoins the robbers and helps them stop Arturo's latest escape plan. Meanwhile, Raquel sets a trap for the Professor by creating a hoax that Ángel has awakened from his coma, in hopes it will lure him to the hospital to finish him off before he can identify the Professor. The Professor, skeptical of the announcement, posts a fake casting call for clowns at the hospital and dresses up like one, blending in with the crowd while confirming the hoax.

He walks out of the villa held at gunpoint by Raquel, but she is emotionally unable and unwilling to stop him from escaping. Colonel Prieto, Suárez, and Alberto confront Raquel and remove her from the case after they identify the Professor as Salva (Sergio), with whom they believe Raquel is co-operating.

Raquel and the Professor kiss passionately and he lets her go. Raquel visits Ángel in the hospital, where the police arrest her. At a moral crossroads, she initially refuses to divulge the Professor's hideout, but when Colonel Prieto threatens her with several charges that would cause her to lose custody of her daughter, she relents. As the police race to the hideout, a tactical squad inside the Mint is fought off by Berlin so the rest of the robbers can escape in time, until he is shot multiple times.

One year later, Raquel has left the force and the robbers' whereabouts are still unknown. When Raquel notices coordinates on a postcard previously given to her by the Professor, she tracks him down in Palawan, Philippines. | |||||||

The government responds by mobilizing the army, which the robbers use to provide cover and entry into the Bank. In flashbacks, the Professor recruits Palermo, real name Martín Berrote, an experienced thief and former associate to replace Berlin. The Professor and Palermo explain that their strategy for this robbery is based on Aikido, a martial art that uses an enemy's force to create an advantage. As the robbers enter the Bank, public sentiment rallies to their side in the form of mass government protests and riots over the illegal imprisonment of Rio, demanding that he receive a public trial. | ||||||

Bogotá uses his expertise in diving and welding to overcome the lock down, granting access to the gold. In flashbacks, Berlin and Palermo explain the plan for breaking into the vault, stating that every step of the plan requires perfection to work with no room for error. | ||||||

| The crew begins the next phase of the robbery while the Professor addresses the new government officials from the intelligence directorate. Colonel Luis Tamayo and the heavily pregnant Inspector Alicia Sierra prove to be formidable adversaries, as they quickly realize that they must change their strategies drastically from the first robbery. Sierra tortures Rio for more information and Tamayo plans an assault on the bank with Suárez. The robbers reveal that they know about a second, secret vault behind the gold and attempt to persuade Mario Urbaneja, governor of the Bank, to open it for them. When he refuses, Denver hits him, triggering a seizure; they resuscitate him and use explosives instead. | ||||||

| A love interest between Palermo and Helsinki is revealed. Given no other option, the robbers detonate the inner vault door inside the flooded main chamber. It works and grants them access to "the red boxes"—cases filled with government secrets that were too dangerous to lock anywhere else. Tamayo's assault begins, taking the robbers and the Professor by surprise. To stall for time and prevent bloodshed, Denver runs into the line of fire with a truce flag carrying two of the red cases, which forces Tamayo to stop. He reveals to Sierra the contents of the cases and that the Professor has the advantage—an attack might force the robbers to make the secrets public. However, Sierra is able to unbalance the Professor and Lisbon with psychological taunting. Inside the bank, the team divides when Nairobi and Palermo disagree over the use of force on the unruly restrained guards. Nairobi reveals her love for Helsinki and berates Palermo for not acting on his feelings for Berlin while the latter was alive. | ||||||

Andrés defends her, stating that he is in love, but the Professor vehemently disagrees, arguing that the first rule of the heist must be to forego personal attachments. In the present, Sierra plans to neutralize the Professor's blackmail leverage by releasing false information to the media. Tamayo agrees and organizes a second breach led by Suárez. The Professor and Lisbon have an argument and lose communication with the team inside the bank, just after learning this. Having relied on mobile transportation and broadcasting, they become stuck when a tree breaks their antenna and the wheels of their RV sink in mud. They narrowly escape detection with the help of some sympathetic local farmers. They then manage to inform the team of the breach 10 minutes before it happens, who defeat, capture, unclothe, and humiliate the breaching team by forcing them to sing "Bella ciao" on video. Given no other option, Tamayo and Sierra agree to release Rio in exchange for the breaching team and 40 hostages. | ||||||

| The exchange proceeds smoothly and Rio rejoins the gang. While the hostages are leaving, Arturo, wanting to see Mónica, runs into the Bank of Spain and becomes a hostage. During the reunion, the police and government intelligence team listen in on their conversations, having implanted a listening device inside Rio before releasing him. In flashbacks, the Professor instructs the team, preparing them to detect and remove these devices surgically from Rio, if the time comes. He instructs Tokyo to act normally in spite of the listening device, as he hopes to use their sexual intimacy to convince the police that the listening device is working. Privately, Rio breaks up with Tokyo, believing that she will be better off with someone else. Nairobi then surgically removes the listening device. The police manage to locate the Professor and Lisbon using a drone, forcing them to separate and try to escape on foot; the Professor camouflages himself in a tree, while Lisbon is unable and takes refuge in a barn. | ||||||

Meanwhile, Sierra brings Nairobi's son, Axel, in front of the bank, luring Nairobi to a window. Sierra gives the green light for a police sniper to shoot, and Nairobi is shot in the chest. As the robbers scramble to aid Nairobi, the police begin the assault. In the forest, Suárez and the Civil Guard find Lisbon and remove the farmers from the barn. At Sierra's orders, Suárez fakes her execution and takes her into custody; the Professor hears the charade over Lisbon's microphone and becomes despondent.

| The Professor and Marseille help Antoñanzas out of the pool, and persuade him to do tasks for them by offering him €1 million. Antoñanzas admits that Lisbon is being held in the tent; the Professor gives him his watch to wear so she will know that the Professor is aware she is alive. Lisbon's ex-husband, Alberto finds a phone SIM card that Lisbon had attempted to destroy. The police analyze it and find one call made to Mindanao, Philippines—where Lisbon's mother and daughter are staying. Sierra allows Lisbon to call her family so they can leave before the police arrive. Just as Lisbon is about to do so, she notices Antoñanzas wearing the Professor's watch and stops.

Before Gandía retreats to a secret panic room, he cuts the telecommunication cords, rendering the Professor's cameras in the bank inoperative. The panic room is equipped with weapons and a communication centre, which Gandía uses to communicate with Tamayo. Tamayo tells him that they are under a truce with the Professor, but he wants to coordinate an attack. Antoñanzas tells the Professor that Gandía is communicating with the police from a panic room, and as the Professor relays this information to Tokyo, Gandía knocks her out from behind. | ||||||

Initially opposed to the idea, the Professor agrees. In the present, although the panic room is not present on the bank's blueprints, the Professor deduces the location of the panic room to be in the vicinity of the governor's office—behind the governor's bathroom.

This deflates Tamayo's plans, and he calls off his planned assault on the bank. Tamayo tells Sierra that she must take the blame. Meanwhile, Gandía unties Tokyo to remove the shrapnel from his back, but she knocks him unconscious and the group frees her.

| As the army arrives, Lisbon, Tokyo, and Stockholm bring some of the hostages outside the bank. The three come to the front of the hostages and declare to Tamayo's men their desire to negotiate the gang's surrender. When Tamayo comes out and meets the three for the negotiation, Lisbon tells him they will first release Gandía who needs medical attention. There and then she also realizes that the negotiators are unaware of Sierra's capture of the Professor, so the three buy time by going back inside the bank to supposedly 'consult with the Professor', bringing the hostages back inside with them. During a fistfight between Gandia, Tokyo and Bogota, Arturo snatches a number of weapons and escapes with his group, injuring Denver in the shootout. He and Urbaneja end up in the loading dock, where the gang's arsenal are stashed. Stockholm, outraged by Arturo's intercom conversation with her about their son, shoots him. Meanwhile, Sierra captures Benjamín and Marseille who have arrived at the hideout. | ||||||||||||

| In a flashback, The Professor sees his father killed by guards during a heist. At the bank, Tamayo asks Denver to make a deal and tell him where the gold is. Denver refuses and is handed over to police outside the bank. Videos of the heist are released online by The Professor's hackers in Pakistan, showing gold being flushed out of the bank, impacting the stock market dramatically, but Tamayo does not agree to strike a deal with The Professor. Police search for the gold in the wrong locations due to fake clues left by Marseille. Sierra tracks down Rafael and Tatiana, who stole the gold bars, and gives them a message from The Professor. The Professor assures Tamayo that the gold will be returned to the bank if he releases a statement saying that the matter has been peacefully resolved. The news of the trucks bringing the gold back helps stabilize the stock market, but Tamayo discovers the blocks are gold-painted brass. The Professor tells Tamayo that the fake gold bars will save the country's economy, giving him an ultimatum to either continue the lie and let them escape, or reveal the blocks are fake which will topple the economy. Tamayo faces the press and lies that The Professor and his team died while Denver will stay in witness protection after "revealing" the location of the gold; he also announces that the hostages and gold reserves are safe, restoring confidence in the Spanish economy. The Professor and his team get new identities and use the gold that Sierra carried across the border to Portugal, and the note is revealed to be a promise to give Rafael and Tatiana a cut. The Professor and his team fly off in an army helicopter to an undisclosed location to start their new lives. | ||||||||||||
