Breaking news!

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

These are the latest headlines.

The authorities have revealed more details

about the robbery of the Bank of the Republic in Valledupar.

Without a single shot fired,

the thieves took over 23 billion in brand-new bills.

The Attorney General and the police are offering a reward

to whoever provides information leading to their capture.

Just wait till my captain gets here.

He'll make them talk. They'll spit it all out.

I'll put you through, please wait.

Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon. -I'm here for those morons.

We brought you something.

Hello?

This is for you.

Unless you want to share it with whoever is on the phone.

Hello?

Hello? Good afternoon.

Oh, so it turns out it was them who robbed the bank, huh?

What?

I'm sorry, but...

do you really think that a couple of Neanderthals

could pull it off?

That's hilarious.

So what's with all that cash then?

You just happen to have it?

Let me explain.

We're negotiators... not thieves.

Bootlegging is one thing, but stealing

such a large amount from the state is another.

And let me tell you something, son.

Those two morons are only good for two things:

for nothing, and for nothing at all.

But I need them out of here.

So either you give them their checkout

or I'll have to go to someone higher up. I know, it'll be more expensive...

but you'll be left empty-handed.

Jackie, thanks for bailing us out.

Jackie, I also want...

to apologize to you.

That shove... was way out of line.

I'm sorry.

I got you out of that shithole...

to protect my investment. Is that clear?

Now, listen to me carefully

so that you really understand how we'll get out of this shitty mess

you got us all into.

It turns out that in this country,

it's easier to transport cocaine or pot than potatoes or rice.

So what we're going to do

is move the cargo along the Marimbera route.

My contacts tell me the road is clear,

and all checkpoint guards are on the payroll.

Yes, but there's a problem.

None of us can drive a truck

and I don't think we can trust an outsider with the job.

Sardino can drive, Chayo will tail him... end of story.

Meanwhile, I'll talk to Kike and the People to keep them at ease.

They're a bit restless with the delay.

-All right. -Any questions?

-Well, I'd like to-- -Hey...

Really?

No.

Oh, baby, I'm so glad.

How are you two? Do you miss me? Do you even think of me?

Of course, we miss you a lot.

Oh, love! I miss you like crazy.

Though it's a bit hard dealing with all the party planning on my own.

Is everything okay? Did something happen?

Well, the club we booked canceled our reservation.

Payment was due yesterday.

What, honey? Why didn't you tell me?

No, darling, I promised my girl she'd have her dream party, and she will.

She deserves it, you deserve it, too, and so do I.

There's nothing we can do now.

Without a venue, we'll have to cancel the DJ too.

No, ma'am, I'll figure something out.

Just let me get home, and I'll take care of it.

That's it, end of discussion.

Tell my baby I love her. You know I love you both, okay?

I love you, darling.

Bye, honey.

Damn it...

Son!

Man, I have to get back to Bogotá.

Something came up at home.

Are you up for doing this on your own?

-You know I'm up for anything, pops. -All right, then, great.

Go straight to Bogotá. Call me as soon as you get there.

And be very careful, son, I'm counting on you.

Have I ever failed you?

Never, not once.

Right.

Well, then, thanks, son.

Well, they came...

said they were here to fix the air conditioning.

They had company uniforms and everything. Nothing seemed suspicious to us.

In fact, we let them in because the manager himself

left a signed authorization for us to let them in.

Money is channeled from here to the entire region.

It's normal for us to have that much cash by year-end.

Who in the bank knows about this?

Management and security personnel.

And who knew the air conditioning repairmen were coming in that day?

Security and Maintenance, who asked for the AC to be repaired.

I know my colleagues.

They're good people. That's all I know.

Could you identify any of the suspects?

No way, their faces were covered.

-Their accent was from Bogotá for sure. -They were city folk, like you.

You can't miss that accent. They were pros.

They even disabled the alarm as soon as it went off.

The security cameras were broken, doors were unlocked for them, right?

An insider had to know.

They went in during the shift change.

That's what they did.

I warned my men.

I told them to stay sharp.

I posted twice as many guards.

I did.

What do you make of all of this?

That stupidity isn't a crime.

At least not according to the penal code.

Honey.

Oh, baby!

Oh, baby, come here.

Oh, darling.

Honey, I made the best deal of our lives.

Look, this is just the first payment.

Look.

We won't have a single worry for the rest of our lives, not ever.

Oh, honey.

Oh, fuck!

These scumbags...

Hello?

Hi, pops.

What took you so long? Where the fuck are you?

I'm still on the road. There's a problem.

What problem?

The military pulled me over.

I barely made it through.

Wasn't the fucking road supposed to be clear?

Don't lie. They were police checkpoints. Where's Chayo?

Your intel was wrong, ma'am. There were fucking soldiers on the road.

They wanted to take the cash. I had to bribe them.

How much are we talking about?

-Six wads, Mr. Jairo. -What?

Six...

Six wads of bills?

Six wads?

Are you fucking insane? You dare steal from me?

What were you thinking, idiot?

-Moron, asshole. -Calm down, ma'am.

-Stop the bullshit. -Don't fuck with me!

-You idiot-- -I said--

Hey, what's all this bullshit? What's going on here?

-What is this? -What's going on?

You left him alone, and he stole from us.

All you had to do was keep an eye on him!

Just a minute, I left him when we were practically entering Bogotá.

Don't lie to me! Don't you dare lie to me, don't be a jerk!

Six wads, he stole six wads!

-I didn't steal a thing. -Shut up! Six wads!

Guess who'll answer for this shit.

You will!

Fuck!

What do you mean six wads, son?

Huh?

I didn't steal a cent, Chayo.

I had to bribe some soldiers.

I'm telling you, pops. You know me, I didn't steal anything.

I'm happy with my cut. I'm a simple guy, you know that.

-I sure hope so. -You know I didn't.

Yes, I hope so.

Unload the truck and bring the money.

Go on!

Sure. What a drag.

What?

Have you talked to Boris to start moving our shit?

Step by step, right?

One step at a time, huh?

-Look at that! -Perfect?

-Yes, sir, thanks. -All right. Thank you.

Hey, bro, thanks for the help.

Wow, boss, you look elegant.

Don Chayo, you can count on me for anything from now on.

Thank you, bro.

-It's heavy. -Thanks, bro.

-Well done, son. Cuchito! -This will break my back.

It's heavy as shit.

-What's up, my dear Chayo? -Great, huh?

-Great. -Help me out, Molina.

Here's a bonus.

All right, perfect.

-Guys, your attention, please. -Wait.

Let's get something straight here.

We all know we got more than we expected,

so I deserve a bonus too, don't I?

Bonuses here are for people who are loyal and serious... trustworthy.

Not for those who messed around, mutineering and bullshitting. Get it?

-Well, then I'm not leaving. -Please yourself, Estiven.

-If that's what you want. -I'll stay then.

So listen up, guys, it's very important you keep a low profile.

Please.

Don't go on a crazy shopping spree

or buy a drug lord's mansion, showering women with jewels.

Don't squander this in every brothel in the nation.

I know you guys. You wouldn't think twice.

Be serious. Please, you're not thugs.

Understand? You're only a thief...

if you get caught.

See the difference?

Buy your mothers a house.

Be charitable,

donate some money to the poor.

Besides that, congratulations.

You deserve it all, spectacular execution.

-Very well, guys, thanks. -Straight to the whorehouse!

Yes, right.

Cucho, bring them to their senses. Help him, Goliath!

-Don't lose your step, Cucho. -I know that's what you're hoping.

What is it?

-You're leaving? -Well, I have no choice.

May I?

Huh?

Great men.

Let's go somewhere together.

-To a Melgar resort? -No.

No, far away, where no one can bother us.

Let's get some bikes and ride as far as we can.

Where do you want to go? Anywhere. Don't worry about money.

You're doing shady business, aren't you?

Of course not.

I just did one big job for some people.

What kind of job? Don't you trust me?

We robbed the bank at Valledupar.

Why are you laughing?

Are you tripping or what?

You're full of shit. That's no job for a petty thief.

You don't believe me?

Look.

I have a bag full of bills like that, brand-new.

Miguel, with this,

we can lead the life we want, man.

Huh?

You fucker.

BANK OF THE REPUBLIC 1923

Sir.

Good morning.

-Good morning, sir. -How are you?

Some banks have reported payments with some of the stolen bills.

All payments were made by ordinary people,

there's no one we can arrest.

But no payments have been reported in Bogotá.

Those people won't put the money in banks. They'll launder it on the black market.

That's right, the only way we can get those thugs

is if we follow the money.

I get that, but the bank isn't able

to follow all the money out there on the streets.

Right, but you can help us

by creating some measures for us to get a lead, huh?

Sounds tricky.

People don't know they're paying with stolen bills.

For now, that isn't a crime.

We'd have to get people to report the stolen bills.

How would we do that?

I'll make you happy, whether you want it or not.

Good evening, this is a news flash.

The Bank of the Republic has just announced

its new measures to reduce the impact of the theft

of 23.074 billion pesos.

This is the biggest cash robbery in the history of the world.

That's what we're the best at, huh? What a shame.

Yes, we are, honey.

Can you imagine? Without a single gunshot.

Without anyone injured, without leaving a trace.

Sounds awful, but not everyone could do it. It takes some guts.

I don't mean it's okay.

The good news is that the stolen notes

hadn't been released yet.

What does this mean?

That, since they hadn't circulated, they have no worth. They're just paper.

It's as if they'd stolen Monopoly money.

-They sure are stupid! -Luisa!

Now let's hear from Mr. Paredes, the prosecutor in this investigation.

The Attorney General's Office would like to ask all respectable Colombians

for their assistance in catching whoever is responsible for this crime.

We'll publish the notes' serial numbers in the media.

If you have any of these bills in your possession,

you have the obligation to inform the authorities.

Anyone who tries to make transactions with this worthless money

will be considered an accessory to the crime.

We will catch the thieves

and they'll feel the full weight of the law.

-Hello? -Did you watch the news?

Yes, I did, but don't worry.

Boris is moving our cut, and he'll find a buyer.

Oh, Molina, no one will want that money.

It all went to shit, can't you see?

The people Boris deals with will take care of it in a couple of days.

Relax. We'll talk tomorrow.

In Barranquilla, the Valledupar Bank of the Republic heist

is making everyone paranoid.

Small businesses see every bill as a threat,

so they don't take cash.

I won't accept this note.

Why do you have that money?

I was given the money at a party in Curumaní, Cesar,

at the central park.

Sales will also drop. Whether you're looking for change or here to buy,

I can't accept that bill.

This note here...

Damn! This is what I'm trying to avoid.

Look at this number. I can't accept this.

I could go to jail for it. I'd have to say where it's from.

Betting houses, shops, exchange offices, casinos, junkyards...

I've tried everywhere, and nothing.

No one wants that cash.

Even drug cartels are afraid of that money.

Well, once we flood the market, the money will be legal.

-It's just a matter of time. -Call it superstition, but I'm out.

Offer it at half the price, that'll do the trick.

Half? Half of what? Of nothing?

Shit!

Gentlemen, I have news from the coast.

Heads are rolling. Ulises was murdered.

This is getting hot, really hot.

And if you keep your hands in the fire, you'll end up scorched too.

As a friend, here's some advice.

Get rid of that money. Throw it away, burn it, bury it, whatever.

That cash is cursed.

This country has no memory.

In two or three days...

there will be a new scandal and no one will fuss

about peso note serial numbers.

-That's bullshit, Molina. -No, it's not, Chayo.

A bank robbery won't fucking paralyze the nation, bro. Trust me.

You can take back your worthless paper.

ALIAS "KIKE" PARTNER OF "THE PEOPLE"

Please, stop hurting him. He has nothing to do with this.

This is what we'd call the domino effect.

Chips fall one after another, each pushed by the one behind.

The only way to prevent a chip from falling

is getting rid of the one behind.

You're behind me, Jackie.

And Chayo is behind you.

No.

Kike, don't.

No one knows you're involved.

No one but Chayo.

The People know, Jackie, that you have...

potential in the organization.

But your position, your stability, and your future...

depend on how you handle this...

this setback.

I suggest you do whatever needs doing...

anything within your power.

Great coffee.

Chayo, I need to talk to you. It's urgent.

-Do we know who he is? -Yes. Arlei Torres, AKA "Maguiver."

His rap sheet includes theft, armed robbery...

Well, it's a long list.

They've started to fall.

Gentlemen.

Jackie.

Why the mystery, Mrs. K?

You'll find out soon.

The People don't want loose ends.

They won't take risks.

So, the message was clear.

It's either you...

or me.

Jackie, I believe...

there must be another solution to this, huh?

Jackie, trust me, we'll come through with the People.

I have the counterfeiters working in Cali.

They're ready to help us.

No.

It's too late, Chayo.

I want you to see what the People did to the only man...

who has always been loyal to me.

Damn it, I said look at him!

But that's not who I am.

I'm not like them.

I'm not capable of doing that.

So I just...

wanted you to see him...

so you understand why I'll be gone for good.

See you in the next life.

What are we going to do now?

I'm going home.

I'll coop up inside with Romy...

and wait for something to kill me.

You should...

run.

Like you always do.

Chayo...

no one can ever take that awesome heist away from us, brother.

-Hi, honey. -Darling.

You're here just in time for lunch, honey.

The steak is delicious.

-Bloody, just the way you like it. -Oh, sounds good.

-Thank you, honey. -I don't get why you like it like this.

-Hello, Luisita. -Your partner brought it.

What partner, honey?

Kike.

He came by this morning.

He was so nice, so kind to us.

Yes, a darling.

He said he wanted to thank you for the great deal.

Look, he left you a note.

I dropped by to leave you something, hope you enjoy it.

The people will always remember you.

Call us.

Mr. Kike, it's Chayo.

Your wife and daughter are so nice and beautiful.

You have a lovely house, cozy.

Good for you, Chayo.

No one would ever guess the most wanted thief in Colombia lives there, right?

Tell me what you want.

We want you to exchange your Monopoly notes for real ones.

How long do I have?

Until tomorrow at 7:00 a.m.

I hope you're not planning on doing what your friend Jackie did.

She thought she could outsmart us and skip town.

By the way, she wants to say hi.

Mrs. K, say hi to Chayo. Tell him how well you're being treated.

Oh, no, I'm begging you!

-Oh, no, for God's sake! -Well, it seems she's in no mood to talk.

Anyway, she wants you to know what will happen to you

if you try to go anywhere with your girls.

No!
