A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

I'm ready.

All this bloodshed is on you.

Until you give me what we agreed on,

this will only get worse.

I don't have your money.

Believe me, I don't...

and I have no way of getting it for you either.

I want you to stay there...

while I send someone to pick up your wife.

-And your daughter. -Please.

So you can explain to them yourself...

Kike.

...why in hell they're going to die.

Listen to me, please.

I'm begging you. Kike...

Mr. Kike, please, listen to me.

Mr. Kike, I came here 'cause I'm an honest thief.

An honest thief!

You should see the look on your face.

You're a good guy, Chayo.

I mean it.

And you're very lucky I read the newspaper every morning.

NEW MEASURE: STOLEN NOTES WILL BE ACCEPTED

How about that?

Today's not your day. Your time hasn't run out.

You got yourself a miracle.

God's on your side.

I want my money back.

New bills...

without any bloodshed.

Tell me, how are we gonna trace those motherfuckers now?

The nation is in chaos. People are pissed off.

The government is busy enough with the 8,000 Process,

and doesn't want to deal with this shit.

I can't believe it.

We have them by the balls, Iregui.

They're already falling.

With this, you're doing them a favor.

Who the fuck came up with this idea?

The President of the Republic.

If you want to complain, go to him.

This is as far as I go.

Paredes...

the government needs answers and someone has to pay.

So, whatever it takes, find them.

ONE MONTH LATER

-A toast to Jackie! -To Jackie.

And to family!

And to friends, Romy.

-Cheers. Yeah. -Cheers.

I was gonna toast to the Bank of the Republic,

but this guy got all emotional.

But his toast was good.

You're all set to become a politician, Chayo.

No, Romy, don't say that, don't insult me.

We're thieves, not crooks.

-Cheers to that! -Cheers.

-Hello. -Darling.

-How are you? -How's it going?

-The family picture is in ten minutes. -All right, baby.

-So? -Oh, don't you look sharp?

-Wow! -You made it.

-Mr. Gabriel, welcome. -Glad to be here.

-Nice to meet you. -Gabriel Herrera at your service.

Mr. Gabriel, this is Carmen, my wife and the boss around here.

This is Gabriel Herrera. I've known this man for ages, right, Molina?

He's the first guy I ever worked with.

-Oh, welcome, Mr. Gabriel. -Thank you. You're so kind.

Here, this is for your daughter. I haven't seen her yet.

Oh, thanks.

-Come, Mr. Gabriel, have a seat. -Thanks.

Lawyer!

-Well, excuse me. -Go ahead.

-Hey, come here. -Talk to me.

How are you feeling after the greatest heist ever?

Cucho, we practically came back to life. Right, Molina?

We had an appointment with the Devil himself, and we lived to see another day.

We paid those scumbags every cent.

Exactly.

Hey, Lawyer, you look great, healthier,

-you got your color back and all. -You're right.

And you know why? He's at the top of the transplant list.

-Yes, siree. -Come on, friends! Let's take a picture!

Enough with the Lawyer's drama.

All set. Ready?

-Honey! -Coming!

Wait a second.

Let me fix my suit. There, take it.

Take a good look.

-No, you're not on the list. -That's him. Call him and you'll see.

Hey, what a good-looking fellow!

Thanks, pops.

They almost didn't let me in.

-Really? -I'm not on the list.

I must've forgotten.

Now, take a seat, have a drink, son.

Here.

I brought...

this gift for Luisita. It's a surprise. May I give it to her?

Oh, you shouldn't have, son. I'll make sure she gets it.

Now, sit, have a drink.

Yes, pops, but I want to meet her.

This is the perfect occasion. I want her to know who I am.

She's family. She's practically my little sister.

I said no!

Let's leave her alone. She's with her friends now.

Okay?

You should go home. Don't be a nuisance.

Just go, son.

Okay now.

Honey, who is he? Why didn't he stay?

He's just some drunkard trying to crash the party.

-Smile. -Big smile.

-I don't see shit. -See that mountain?

-Which one? I don't see it. -There, look at it.

Don't push your luck, you moron. Not here.

Are you horny? Yeah? Are you?

Actually, I was wondering when we're eloping.

Oh, Estiven, we need money for that.

Oh! Are you having second thoughts?

We can make it with what we've got.

I won't leave everything behind to live a life of struggles.

When the money runs out, then what? What will we do?

I know where there's more.

More what?

More dough, man.

With this signed authorization, the guards let the thieves in.

The evidence is clear.

Someone inside the bank with access to privileged information

let the criminals in.

Mr. Zabala...

the prosecution has found enough evidence to incriminate you

as an accomplice.

The evidence will be presented to the judge when we press charges.

I haven't stolen a cent in my life!

If you did your job right, you'd be chasing those bandits,

not decent people.

But it's clear you're all incompetent!

Mr. Zabala,

the Attorney General's Office has ordered your arrest pending trial.

I had nothing to do with it. I didn't rob that bank!

You're making a huge mistake.

Hello?

Yes, this is he.

Really?

Yes, of course.

Thank you very much.

-So? -There's a donor.

Fold the material.

You sew your hem, I wasn't born to do this.

It's just a little prick.

Okay now...

-I'm sure you'll survive. -You're not the one bleeding here.

-Who's getting that? -I'll get it.

Learning new things will keep you busy.

Hey, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Why don't you fix me some coffee instead?

Freeze! Police! Get down, on the floor!

Everybody, get down!

-Freeze, get down! -No!

Stay still!

-Come on! -Freeze, damn it!

There!

On your knees!

Stay still, don't you move!

Where's the money?

I don't know what you're talking about, sir.

I'm retired. I don't have much money.

No!

Please, don't hurt my dad.

Okay, fucking old man, we don't have much time.

Speak or I'll kill the three bitches on the spot. Spit it out!

I told you, sir, I don't know what you're talking about.

-I don't have any money. I swear. -No!

Dad!

Out in the back yard, in the shed!

Mantilla.

Where's the rest?

That's all I have.

I can't believe this is what you got for opening the vault.

Where is it, old man?

I swear on the Virgin of Carmen.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Dad, give them everything. They'll kill us.

Dad, give it to them! They'll kill us!

We gave it to the People.

-Then let's go get it. -We're not going anywhere.

If I go with you, they'll know.

You have five hours.

We'll be watching you.

I'm warning you, Dragon, no tricks.

Let's go.

Hello? Did you get the money?

Yes and no. Cucho gave us some money.

-But he'll give us the rest later. -What do you mean "later," Miguel?

Be careful, Cucho is a smart guy, he'll play us.

He won't, he's terrified.

Mantilla's keeping an eye on his daughters.

Oh no! I told you this was a bad idea, bro, I told you!

Relax, man. I'm in charge of the whole operation.

We stick to the plan, but we'll get hold of more money, okay?

-Okay. -Besides, what could Cucho do?

Call the cops?

You lied to us.

Dad.

Dad!

What are you doing? Who are you calling?

The only one who can get us out of this.

-Who? -Chayo.

Chayo will only make this worse.

Mariana, Chayo has the rest of my money. I won't give it to those scumbags.

Turn yourself in.

It's the only way they'll leave us alone.

Dad, if you report them, they'll leave us alone.

Report them to whom?

Didn't you see? They're cops. I can't betray my men!

You have to choose. It's either your friends or your family.

Hey...

Hello.

Hey.

So...

did we beat the Grim Reaper?

Well...

they couldn't do the transplant.

The...

old gunshot wounds didn't heal properly.

And they say...

that the tissue is scarred and won't attach to the new kidney.

Hey...

So, what did they say?

How much time do I have?

Not long.

We tried.

Right?

I'm Gabriel Herrera,

professional locksmith and smelter.

I took part in the robbery of the Valledupar Bank of the Republic.

I was the one who opened the vault.

I came to turn myself in...

because the police are extorting me.

My guess is the one who told them was...

the cop that helped us in Valledupar.

Lt. Jorge Monroy.

What happened to you, Monroy?

You can't play the good cop looking like that.

So you'll play that role?

The good cop?

Son of a bitch.

Tell me who paid you.

Or should I call the guys to come give you another beating?

Alias Chayo...

and alias Lawyer.

Nicknames are worthless to me.

I need names.

All I know...

is that the Lawyer's last name...

is Molina.

Heads up, Lawyer, expect some company.

Is the source reliable?

National Police!

All clear here, Lieutenant.

There's no one here.

He's gone.

Give me a hand, this one's heavy.

What about the motorcycle?

I sold it.

Why?

Taking it would be complicated.

Besides, I can't ever come back to this neighborhood.

Cucho fucked all of our lives now.

I told you. I warned you, but you didn't listen.

Is all the money in there?

Of course, there's the genie in a bottle.

Let's go.

Get out.

What's going on, man?

I'm skipping town on my own.

But why?

Because I'm not a fucking faggot, man.

Then why are you with me?

You and I are a couple, and you know it.

The hell we are!

Get out!

I don't want to shoot you.

Get out!

María, please bring me some newspaper.

-Here you are. -Thank you.

BANK OF THE REPUBLIC ROBBER IN CUSTODY

I'm tired.

I'm tired of running.

Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you, brother?

Jairo made a choice.

We're only here to say good-bye.

I'll wait for you in the car.

I'm doing this for Romy,

so she doesn't become a suspect.

So she's free to live her life.

Promise you'll take care of her,

that you'll make sure she's okay

and no one touches her money.

Promise me no one will go near her. Promise me. Go on.

There's no need to ask, of course I promise.

The least you can do is keep your word this time.

Honey.

Hi, baby.

How are you, darling?

Hon, did you read yesterday's paper?

I read it this morning.

No.

What is it?

Mr. Gabriel, a bank robber? This can't be true.

Unbelievable, huh?

How long have you been working with him?

Well...

many years.

On and off.

Quite unbelievable, yes.

Have you done any business with him, sold him any jewels?

No. Don't worry, baby.

No, never, honey.

I haven't seen him in months.

Then where did this come from?

Well, it's from a payment I got.

Which payment?

Well, one from a deal I closed.

What deal?

-I sold some emeralds-- -That's a lie, Roberto!

These are those banknotes.

Is this what you did on your business trip?

Honey...

I'll tell you the truth.

Which one of them?

Honey, please.

No.

Darling, I grew up on the streets.

As a kid, I had to steal to survive.

I decided a thief was what I was.

But if I was going to be one, I'd be a high-end thief.

An honest one. You see?

In none of my projects did I ever hurt anyone.

And then I met you.

And I realized making you and my girl happy

was the only thing that mattered, the only thing.

But then I got into debt little by little.

Things got complicated,

and I got desperate...

because we were about to lose everything, honey.

But we never asked you for anything.

I fell in love with a generous man...

a loving man.

But that man never existed.

No, darling.

Don't say that. Look at me.

Please.

I swear on all that's sacred

that this heist was the last one. It's over.

It's over, I swear.

No, honey, please.

This is all a lie.

It's not a lie, honey, I'm not lying.

Forgive me.

Honey...

Please.

We led our lives the way we wanted.

We weren't afraid.

Together till the end.

Together.

-No one can take that away from us. -No.

Partner.

-Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

My name is Jairo Molina. I've come to turn myself in.

I'm the brains behind the greatest heist in the history of Colombia.

This arrest was possible thanks to a hard and arduous intel effort

by the Attorney General's Office

that led to the capture of Jairo Molina,

the brains behind this criminal operation.

We also confiscated some of the stolen money from him...

With this, we want to send a message: that we are very close

to capturing the rest of the members of this criminal gang.

Got any coffee?

In the kitchen.

They broke Ulises. Did you hear, son?

Monroy's locked up. Boy, are we screwed.

Each of us hiding in the nastiest slums.

And you got a free ride with Sardino.

Son, I know I've kept my distance from you...

but, believe me, it was for our own safety.

Open it.

-There's no need-- -Open it.

It's cool.

Do you remember everything you said to me that day?

I was drunk. You have no idea of all the stupid things I said that day.

I was convinced...

blinded by the idea that you were a father to me.

You kicked me out like the piece of shit you think I am.

You took it personally.

And that's not how it is, son. I'm your godfather.

Stop lying to me.

Have you forgotten who got you off the streets?

You forget that, thanks to me, you don't live under a bridge, smoking basuco.

Get out of my house, Chayo.

It's fine.

BANK OF THE REPUBLIC

In the Valledupar Bank of the Republic heist

executed on October 16th and 17th, 1994,

a total of 24.072 billion pesos were taken from the main vault,

most of it notes that had never circulated.

Today, this would amount to 41 million dollars.

The media called it "The Robbery of the Century"

and it is world famous for claiming no victims.

To this day, it is still the biggest heist

in paper currency in history.

Of all those involved in planning and executing the robbery,

only two are still alive.

The Dragon was sentenced to 12 and a half years' imprisonment.

His sentence was reduced after giving away the names of the rest of the members.

Once released, he died from natural causes in a resort in Tolima.

The identity of the police officers

that threatened and extorted the Dragon remains unknown.

Estiven changed his physical appearance

and managed to hide from the authorities for a while.

He was finally found and sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment.

While serving his sentence, he was granted a 72-hour leave

to tend to some family matters and was murdered by hit men

minutes after stepping out of the penitentiary.

Sardino was the only member of the gang the police couldn't identify.

He was never captured.

Lt. Jorge Luis Monroy gave up his partner, Javier Niño.

They were both sentenced to eight years in prison.

Boris was investigated for the robbery.

After his capture, he was sentenced to 19 years in jail,

charged with being involved with an international criminal network.

Wilmer Yidi was captured and sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment.

His sentence wasn't reduced,

given that his confusing and misleading testimony

delayed the investigation for months.

Some say Ulises Díaz spread the rumor of his own death.

His whereabouts remain a mystery.

Marco Emilio Zabala, whose name is unchanged in this series,

served one year in La Modelo jail in Bogotá,

followed by two years under house arrest

before he was finally acquitted for lack of evidence.

In 1999, he sued the state for unlawful imprisonment.

In 2016, the court ruled in his favor.

However, Zabala claims that, up to this day,

he has yet to receive his lawful compensation.

The Lawyer only handed in 200 million pesos of his share.

The rest was never found.

Listen up, Álvaro, he's surrounded.

Closing in through green area. Stand by, ready to move in.

Copy that.

Alpha entering coordinates Y21 A5.

Echo Two moving in.

Echo One to Echo Two, copy that.

Freeze, you son of a bitch! You're under arrest!

Roberto Lozano?

No, that's not my name.

I made up that name.

My real name is Gilberto Torres.

Want anything to drink?

Some coffee?

Chayo managed to hide from the authorities for three years.

Finally, he was captured in a remote location in the countryside.

All his assets were confiscated,

he was sentenced to 17 years' imprisonment.

His sentence was reduced to eight years for good behavior.

He never got his family back.

This series is a work of fiction inspired by true, well-known events.

It does not intend to be a faithful reproduction of reality

or to be used to determine legal responsibility.

Procedural truth about the events lies in several different court records.
