BASED ON A TRUE STORY

SOME CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED FOR DRAMATIC PURPOSES

JANUARY 10, 2005

THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY

Martial arts, fine arts,

all of my actions...

I want them to be just one thing.

I want them to have a real purpose.

A philosopher used to say

that the highest good for the human being

was to find their calling,

a truth that is true for yourself.

A truth that you would even give your life for.

Then, it'd be important to find that calling soon.

Don't let him pass.

Don't let him pass.

You don't fight strength with more strength,

but with more technique.

I've told you plenty of times.

We don't fight against the strength of a superior opponent.

We use it. Come on.

Hand on hand.

Bridge.

You see? OK?

Good. Come on.

It's not easy to dig a hole like that.

Sebas, dinner's ready.

Coming, honey.

You're whipped!

If it weren't for her, I don't know where I'd be.

Oh, I know.

So?

If you were someone else, I'd say you're out of your mind,

and you're an asshole.

You're out of your mind, but you're no asshole.

I'm the asshole who wants to know what the fuck you'll do.

You'll need machinery and equipment. And I have no money.

The first thing you need is an investor.

An investor.

You're insane. Where am I going to get it?

The Lord be with you.

And with your spirit.

A reading from the holy Gospel...

Right now, I have no money. But you can count on my help.

Can you think of anyone?

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them up to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord...

There's this guy.

It is right and just.

It is right and just.

You'd say I'm taking him to Australia. My God! I'm just crossing the river.

I'm going to Montevideo. My mother wants to see her grandchild.

- I see. - She's very old.

- Yes, yes. They get old. - Oh, yes.

She says, "When will you bring me the kids?"

"Mom, sometimes you can't."

- She has to see them. - That's right.

She deserves it.

- Here's your money. - No, no.

You pay when you receive the documentation.

In a couple of days.

We verify the information, and it's all yours.

But I have your two thousand dollars here.

I don't know, now...

No, it's two thousand pesos.

- Oh, that's wonderful news. - Oh, yes.

Did I misunderstand you on the phone?

Did I say two thousand dollars?

That's what I understood.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not that expensive. No way!

What a pity. I'm not going back home now.

And I wouldn't like to carry this money.

Can you keep it for me? If it's okay with you.

- No, no, no. I'll keep it. - Really?

- Yes. - It's a tremendous favor.

- Oh, please. It's okay. - I mean it.

- Here. - I'll bring your two thousand pesos.

Sure. And I'll return your two thousand dollars.

They're yours.

Tell me. How long have you been married?

Hold on. This is yours.

What are you doing?

What do I have eyes for?

Cut it out, honey.

If your father doesn't come, I don't see you. Why?

I'm working. That's why.

- Are you taking care of yourself? - Yes. I'm doing great.

I'm doing great in that law firm.

I control all the assistants. I put strict limits on them.

What about the computers?

That was last year, but it didn't work.

- I see. - Regrettably, it didn't work.

Well done.

It looks beautiful.

So, Lu? Dinner some time soon?

Tonight. Come home.

Oh, I can't do it tonight.

Stay out of trouble, Dad.

What trouble? Trouble is over for me. I love you.

I love you too.

Hello there!

I wish! That stingy pays the minimum.

I have to go. I must start cleaning now.

Say hello to Ari.

Bye.

EXIT

Oh, God!

Ah, I'm out of breath. You scared me! Please.

Oh, yes. You scared me, too.

- Look. I'm shaking like a leaf. - Yes.

I'm so sorry. I scared you.

What's your name?

Carmen. Who are you?

- Enrique. Enrique Gutiérrez. - Enrique. Who...?

I'm new here. I started yesterday.

I'm an assistant.

I had to get everything ready for tomorrow's transaction,

and I can't find Sananes' file.

- Do you know where it might be? - No. I just take care of cleaning.

I have nothing to do with files.

Oh. What a shame.

Why don't you call Mrs. Rosa? She must know.

And then she would fire me.

Okay.

So... Well, just keep on cleaning. I'll manage.

Bye, my dear. My pleasure.

- Everything will be all right. - Okay. You're very pretty.

- Enrique...? - Gutiérrez. The assistant.

If someone asks, "The assistant was here."

- Okay. - Because of Sananes.

- Okay. - Bye, sweetie.

- Goodbye. Good luck. - Where could it be?

Sananes? Sananes?

Hello, Mario. This is Fernando Araujo.

Doc Debauza told me to call you for a job.

Right now, I'm in my car. You're about to enter a bar.

I'd like to have a word with you.

I hope you aren't too violent.

I'll wait for you on Friday

at Via Flaminia Ice-creams, a public place.

I want you to be calm. I'm not a psychopath.

I'll be there at five o'clock.

I'm sorry if I bothered you.

What's wrong with you? Who are you, fucker?

Araujo. Fernando Araujo.

What do you want? Do you have a gun?

- You have a gun. - No, I don't.

Calm down.

- Sure? - Sure.

Stay away from me. You think you can steal from me?

You think you can steal from me, idiot?

You think you can steal from me?

Marito, it's Doc.

I gave your number to a friend, a young guy.

Don't be rude. He's planning something interesting.

Call me.

Hello, Mario. This is Fernando Araujo.

Doc Debauza told me to call you for a job.

Right now, I'm in my car. You're about to enter a bar.

I'd like to have a word with you.

I hope you aren't too violent.

I'll wait for you on Friday

at Via Flaminia Ice-creams, a public place.

I want you to be calm. I'm not a psychopath.

I'll be there at five o'clock.

I'm sorry if I bothered you.

What's wrong with you?

Hey, Fernandito.

Mario?

- How are you? Eh? - I'm fine.

- It's been a while. - Right.

- Are you okay? - Yes, yes.

How's your aunt?

- My aunt is fine. - I'm glad.

Listen, Fernandito. I work alone.

I don't know why Doc told you about me.

Because you're the number one.

You have intelligence, guts... and money.

Do you have kids?

Don't take this wrong, Mario.

Do you know why you were in jail so many times?

No. Enlighten me, please.

Because you're a petty thief.

I'm not a petty thief. I'm a professional thief.

You're right.

- Let's call a spade a spade. - Right.

This is my offer.

Just one big heist.

Really big.

I'd like to show you something.

However, the money isn't in the tills.

By regulation of the Central Bank,

once they have more than ten thousand pesos,

the cashiers have to deposit it in the bank safe deposit box.

Want some?

No, no.

The best part is in the vault

where the bank keeps the money they need to open every day.

I would have never imagined the most lucrative part

was inside the vault.

Tell me what your point is

so that I have just an idea of what you're saying.

You'll see.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Size 10, right?

We're 59 feet away from becoming millionaires.

Above us is Banco Río.

Did the tide rise up to here?

Yes. There are two moments every day when the tide is low.

We go in during one, and we go out during the other.

What if it suddenly starts raining?

You have no cellphone or walkie-talkie signal.

We must keep an eye on the forecast

and only go in when the weather is nice.

Not bad.

Not bad.

Hello, Lu.

You won't believe what happened. Look.

I'm so upset.

I was coming here to have dinner with you.

You know me. I'm always on time.

And I fell into a hole in the middle of the sidewalk.

Can you believe something like that?

That's terrible.

Yeah. Plop! It swallowed me.

Unbelievable.

I made beef with mashed potatoes.

- Well, yes. - Yes.

- Just for nothing. - No.

I'm going to sleep because I work early tomorrow.

But you can drink your wine, chill out, that's...

Don't get upset.

I fell into a hole in the middle of Santa Fe Avenue.

Santa Fe and...?

- In... - Tell me Santa Fe and...?

Well, the street... The junction... Santa Fe and Gaona.

- Santa Fe and Gaona? - Yes.

- Gaona? - Yes.

- I can't count on you. - No, never say...

You can always count on me. Please.

What did you smoke? A joint?

Do you sell drugs? What's wrong with you?

Are you insane? I've never had drugs in my entire life.

What are you saying?

You reek of dope.

Oh, I know. Let me explain...

No, this is it. I've had enough.

What?

Lu!

Close the door when you leave.

Let's say we dig a huge hole and we enter the bank.

Every room has motion sensors, to say the least.

- I mean, the first thing... - Temperature.

I installed the same system here last week,

and I know how it works.

The motion sensor doesn't identify movements,

but the difference in the temperature.

Hold on.

This is going to be hard.

Where did you find him? Does he attend mass with you?

Stay calm, Mario. Give him a chance.

If you don't like what he says, we leave.

He is no idiot.

Do you see?

With these suits made with high mountain sleeping bags,

the sensor doesn't detect the temperature of the body,

so the alarm doesn't go off.

Are you saying that we must rob the bank dressed in sleeping bags?

Yes. Yes.

With these suits, we'll walk calmly all over the bank

without the alarm going off.

- Calmly? - That's right.

How are you planning to open the bank vault?

Give me some time for that.

Now we need a floor plan of the bank.

PARKING

- Hi, how are you? - I need to pay some bills.

Upstairs.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Thank you.

Come with me, sir, please.

Okay. Can you tell me why?

Come with me.

Honestly, I don't know why... or what...

Are you suspicious? Of what?

VAULT SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES

You're wrong. I wasn't taking any pictures.

I was just looking at the menu.

I wasn't taking any pictures.

Please, I'm an artist. This is a shame.

Okay. We're sorry, sir.

Who is going to compensate me for this?

- Well... - No. Who?

No, nobody. But this is our job, isn't it?

Right now, I should be calling the Human Rights Secretariat.

- Well... - We could be in serious trouble.

First floor.

The sewer with the tape is here.

Basement.

The vault is here, more or less, at this height.

The safety boxes are here. Hundreds and hundreds.

But our entry door...

will be this one

that leads to a small room where I was kept.

This is the perfect place to go in.

So, drain depth, 59 feet.

Now we just need to know the distance between the sewer and the bank.

You can't use a measuring tape openly.

There is a security cabin, plus the guards.

You're right.

I thought of something else.

There are 23 feet and three inches from the sewer to the bank.

There are 59 feet to the drain.

We have two sides of a triangle.

Then we can obtain the hypotenuse.

What's the hypotenuse?

Come on. Come on.

Exactly. The tunnel.

From here to here. Like this. Do you see?

And this angle, this tilt angle, is estimated with the arctangent.

Arctangent, second year of geometry.

Was this idiot late to geometry class, too?

He was always the best in the class.

You smoke too much of that shit.

This isn't shit, Mario. This is a sensory experience. Yes.

Everything you think, everything you produce

in a cannabis condition is the opposite of tension.

Cannabis condition.

Just the opposite. Look.

This enhances my observation.

I smoke, I'm extremely focused.

That's why I include it when planning something like this.

If I hadn't smoked marijuana, this heist wouldn't be balanced.

But it makes you talk, ah?

While you're smoking, you talk and talk and talk.

When you commit an immoral act, like robbing a bank,

if you think of the secondary effects you'll produce

with the greatest empathy and individual ethics possible,

the subsequent social reaction will be much better.

What do I mean?

Nobody will starve until receiving the insurance money.

Some people will even say they had more money than they actually had.

There's no real damage here.

The bank loses, of course. But people will love it.

Natural...

...balance.

When I listen to you, I just want to be robbed. I mean it.

Why don't you leave a note to the owners of the safety boxes

to explain all this? They'll love it.

Now I have a question: How will you open the vault?

Will you keep talking about natural balance?

Will I keep spending money for nothing?

I want to have an idea.

I'm sorry, guys.

I took Lolita to a birthday party. She wouldn't stay and made a scene.

Let's go. I'm afraid I won't get that natural balance.

You have no idea. He talks and talks.

He just talks!

This is it. We're here.

We'll need more people.

Let's get to work, guys.

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

- Hold it. - Yeah.

That's it.

- Hold this. - Okay.

- Be careful with the edge. - Yeah.

How will you open the boxes?

With a bar, the old-fashioned way.

You're so romantic.

I don't know. I don't know. No.

After opening safety box number twenty or thirty,

lactic acid levels raise, and muscles begin to fail.

We can have an accident.

We must find another way.

An accident? We have 12 hours to open a few boxes.

During the weekend, we have more than 48 hours.

A welding torch? You open one box per minute.

We estimated more than four hundred safety boxes.

It'll take a minute or a minute and a half per box.

We'll be seven hours inside the bank. Too much. I want to do it faster.

We must study the lock.

How? None of us knows the vault.

We must rent a box ourselves.

They'll have our data.

We'll do it in another branch, Mario.

- Do you want some? - No, thanks.

Take that shit away. I'm dying.

VAULT – DOWNTOWN BRANCH

Mr. Vitette?

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Number 828, sir.

Perfect.

This is it?

Yes, we're done for today.

Now we just need to direct the tunnel at 69 degrees.

We need a theodolite.

What?

A theodolite to dig the well in the right angle.

Otherwise, we'll come out in the video store across the street.

We must buy one.

It's 3000 dollars.

- No way. - Why don't we steal it?

- No, we can't. - Why not?

Again, Mario? Natural balance.

That nonsense again?

It isn't nonsense.

How much money do you want me to spend?

Is everything else solved?

I told you I'm working on that!

Can you listen to me, please?

A tripod, a protractor and a laser pointer: Theodolite.

Let's go. I told my wife I was going fishing.

Okay. Good. Marciano can't make it.

Where the hell is this man? Don't stop it.

We're wasting fuel, Mario.

Listen to me. You're new here. You have good recommendations.

I don't even know you.

I'll explain the situation so that you understand it.

We're in this stolen van,

you chose a colorful one, by the way,

waiting for an idiot who should be here,

and we are in this disgusting neighborhood.

So don't stop it. If anything happens, we can move fast.

Okay.

- Just do what he says. - Oh, we're all here now.

Nice.

This is bad luck, my God!

- Hello, how are you? - Hello.

What are you doing here?

Waiting for a friend, but apparently he's stood us up.

- Can I see your documents? - Yes, sure.

What's the problem, good man? We live in a democracy.

Nobody doubts it, sir.

Car registration.

Insurance.

Who's Walter Galárraga?

My uncle, officer.

Your uncle?

Hello, is there any problem?

- Hello, guys. - Hello.

- They're our friends. - Yeah.

Did you do this, Chela?

Oh, dear. Yes, I called. I got worried.

That van... Those faces... Those people...

I'm sorry, officer. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry.

- Oh, Chela, Chela. - It's okay.

Well done, madam. I like that attitude.

You're taking care of the neighbors.

- Are we good then? - Yes.

- Let's go. - Thank you, officer.

So?

How do you feel it, cousin?

The clutch is tight.

I think the cable is short.

Can you extend it?

Well... my leg won't grow longer.

How do you hear it?

Good, I don't know. I think it has power.

We'll adjust the carburetor to improve it.

- Let's do it. - Sure. Let's try.

Sure, I think so.

Will you talk or do we need to ask?

Talk about what?

What's your wife doing here?

She lives here.

We agreed on being alone.

- We didn't. - What?

We didn't agree on anything.

La Turca won't talk. She's in the business.

She never betrayed me.

What I'm saying is that fooling around is like a vice for you.

- Is that bad? - Yes, it's bad.

What do women have to do with faith?

Fucking is an act of faith.

Watch out!

Guys!

Are you okay?

It's destroyed.

I know.

I mean, a few parts fell down, but there's no more dirt coming down.

And the width of the tunnel is intact, so it must have been just that part.

- The drill is destroyed. - We're done for today.

- We'll buy a new one tomorrow. - No, no. Enough! I'm done.

Mario, we've dug half a tunnel. We're 23 feet away from the bank.

Do you know how to open the vault?

It's taking me longer, but I'll figure it out.

All this is pointless.

There are no impossible solutions.

Stop talking nonsense. I'm sick and tired of you.

This is for professionals, kid.

We are all risking ourselves here.

We're risking well-being, time and, in my case, money.

I supported you up to here. This is it.

Do you want an adventure?

Do a parachute jump, fuck a transvestite, whatever.

Just tell me if you know how to open the vault. Answer me.

Where are you?

Sirius, the eye in the sky.

I like Sirius. I love the name.

It's crazy. If you think of it, we're looking at the stars' past.

Light takes years to get here, so some of them don't even exist now.

You're right.

We think they're there, but they are not.

We think they're there, but they are not.

Who is it?

Fernando.

I have guests.

I need to speak with you.

Fernando, I'll call you tomorrow. Don't break my balls.

I'll wait.

Okay, come upstairs, but don't knock.

Mario, open the door.

Mario.

I'm sorry. You were busy.

- What do you want? - I solved it.

- What? - Everything.

You're high.

That isn't the point.

What is it?

Mario, banks activate safety measures when they're closed

and when they're open,

but they're different safety measures.

There are good safety systems to prevent an express theft,

and there are good safety systems to prevent a hole.

But nobody ever developed a safety system

to prevent both things in case they happen at the same time:

hole and express theft.

So we enter the bank,

when it's open.

- The vault will be open. - Without any alarms.

The police will think it's just an ordinary situation,

an express theft, just thieves who want to rob the cashiers,

but inside the bank everything is more complex...

And what do we do then?

We do cuckoo. Cuckoo clock.

We show them we want to escape through the door.

And, if the police think we want to escape through the door

because it's just an express theft, they won't think we have dug a hole.

A hole that we won't use to go into the bank, but to...

...get out.

HOSTAGE CRISIS

You're the boss of the Hawk Brigade?

What's your name? Huh?

Tension.

Relaxation.

Tension.

Relaxation.

Tension.

PARKING

ENTRANCE

Ladies and gentlemen! This is a robbery.

I want all of you on the ground facing down.

Come on! All of you! All!

Don't move or I'll kill you all!

On the ground!

Don't look up!

Don't move! On the ground!

Acassuso police?

Serrano from Banco Río. There's a heist in the bank.

Put all the money in. Fill it!

Put all the money inside!

Fill it now!

You too, fucker. Come on.

Come on! Come on!

Don't be an idiot. Fill that suitcase. Come on!

More! Put on some more!

- There's more money there! - The police! Fuck!

Don't be an asshole!

Don't stop. You too!

Phase one: Cuckoo.

Hey you, come here. Stand up.

Do as I say and you'll be all right.

- Cuckoo. - Okay.

Put the money there!

Stop! Police!

No. Don't point that gun at me.

The same goes for you. Move!

Throw the gun!

Let him go!

Come with me.

- Keep looking down. - Don't move.

That's it.

Phase two: Bunker.

Bunker.

- You, come here. - Me?

You. Come on. Come on!

Come here. Come on, come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on. Come on.

Let's go down the stairs. Walk slowly. You'll be fine.

Come here.

Come with me. Shut up.

Come out!

Come on. Come on.

Come out. Come on!

Come out or I'll kill her!

Martín, please, come out!

Martín, open the door, Martín!

Martín, please, open it! My granddaughter wasn't born yet.

Come on.

Don't think of it longer. You know we're lost.

The police are outside.

Don't make it worse. Come on, come out.

Don't make it worse, I said. Come on.

Come out or I'll kill her.

He'll kill her. I know him. He'll do it.

Don't make him get more upset.

You'll be fine, but you must get out.

Come on. Get out.

Well done! You made it hard, fat ass.

That's it.

Don't move or you'll screw it up!

Don't hurt anybody! You're surrounded!

Here. Take it. It's okay. Take it. Come on, come on.

Give me your cellphone.

Come out with your hands up!

Tell them to call this number. Okay?

Get out before I change my mind.

- Come on. - Turn yourselves in!

Make sure nobody plays the hero. The bank is full of hostages! Okay?

If you move from here, I'll kill you.

Phase three: Cameras.

Phase four: Let's break it, baby.

Surprise!

Phase five: Power Cannon.

What's this beast called?

Power Cannon.

Now.

Time.

Seven seconds.

Phase six: Time.

He was running away with a hostage. I told him to stop.

And he had to get back inside.

Soon after that, Serrano was released.

Yes, there were four or five guys.

Four or five?

I saw four of them, sir.

They have handguns, one large weapon.

They covered their faces.

They robbed the second-floor cashiers,

but they realized they were surrounded.

How many hostages?

Considering bank staff and customers, around thirty people.

Cameras?

They got into the bunker, but there's a new security system.

It keeps records of the information in a hard disk in the headquarters.

Anything else?

They asked for my cellphone and gave me my weapon back.

- Your service weapon? - Yes.

They did you a favor to avoid you an administrative inquiry.

What if they're colleagues?

I don't know, sir.

What's up, kid?

I need to pee.

I can't hear you.

I need to pee.

Can't you hold it?

No.

Go pee on that flowerpot.

What's up, kid? It won't come out?

Don't look at him, Doc.

What the hell is going on above us? Do you hear it?

Oh, they're climbing on the roof.

They want to enter the bank.

We'll shoot them down.

Hello?

Hello. Is anybody there?

I'm Miguel Sileo.

I'm the one in charge of solving this shit.

You're the one in charge?

Hello.

Take this.

What's this?

The guidelines and negotiations of the Hawk Brigade.

How did you get it, Fer?

A friend who's a judge.

When the police find out about us, they'll surround us in minutes.

Someone has to entertain them while we open the safety boxes.

It has to be you.

Why me?

You're nuts.

I'm a thief. I climb balconies. I scare people.

I can put a bad face if necessary, but this is different. No, no.

Mario, you need to perform.

It isn't that terrible.

It has to be you.

Tension, relaxation. Tension, relaxation.

Bear this in mind all the time while we do our exercises.

Performing means action, right?

Connect yourselves with the feelings you brought.

Start looking towards your goal.

- Enjoy, Mario. - Yes.

Break the space and release the air. Tension, relaxation. Remember this.

What's your animal, Mario? Bring your interior animal out.

Tighten. Now.

Tighten. And... release.

This is very important. Never leave your scene.

You're always on the scene, for the scene, with the other.

Create shapes. Imagine. Performing means imagining. Now!

Hello. Is someone listening?

Hello. Is anybody there?

Take away all the people who are on the roof now.

I don't want to see a single pig or I'll kill a hostage right now.

Give me a minute.

Okay.

The Hawk Brigade is arriving by helicopter.

Where can they land?

It's done. Are you feeling better?

Now we're better.

Why don't we start all over again?

I'm Miguel Sileo.

What's your name?

Call me Walter.

Okay, Walter. I need you to be calm.

Tell me what you need. What can I do for you?

Are you the negotiator?

Yes, I'm the negotiator.

Where are you? I want to see you.

Come closer, please. Let's see.

Look at you.

So, that's you.

Are there any elderly hostages or someone on edge?

Release them.

I released a cop and I didn't hurt him.

What else? Everything is going to be fine.

If you don't screw things up, everybody will be fine.

Keep everything outside under control. I'll do the same here.

- The district attorney? - On his way.

Tell him to hurry up. He has an hour.

Tension.

Relaxation.

Tension.

Relaxation.

Tension.

Relaxation.

Tension.

Relaxation.

The facade is made of glass. We have two entries.

The main door and the parking lot.

We don't know where the hostages are, where they have them.

They may be on the three floors, or they may be forced to move around.

We don't know.

What do we have?

It's an attempted aggravated robbery for now.

May I go to the bathroom?

- Again, kid? - Yes.

You're a pain in the ass.

- You know it. - It's fine.

Stand up and come with me.

- Come here. It's okay. Come here. - Yes.

Calm down. If you need to pee, you need to pee.

It's okay. Don't worry. Don't worry.

Buy us some time, Sileo.

Walter?

Miguel, the district attorney?

Give me some time. He's coming.

Is he coming by tricycle?

I give you my word.

I swear I'm doing everything I can, but I need help.

One hostage.

Release one hostage,

so the people think you also want a happy ending.

Do you understand?

Calm down, kid. It's OK.

You'll take a good leak now.

Pee the police car. Please, pee on it. Come on.

Go, go!

Come here!

- Come here. - Come here, come with us.

We have him. Go!

Down.

Hello. I'm Miguel Sileo from the Hawk Brigade.

Just a few questions.

How many robbers have you seen?

What kind of weapons?

Are all the hostages together, or are they spread out?

Don't worry.

Walter, thank you for releasing the kid.

You're welcome.

Next time, send me someone who can tell me something.

- How are you doing? - I have it under control.

I spoke with the district attorney: Hostages, robbery attempt.

That's what we have so far. But you didn't hurt anybody.

Nobody has been injured.

So, if you get a good lawyer, you'll be out in no time.

Now, if you're going to stay there for a while,

things can get worse.

If an old man dies, they'll put the blame on you.

I cannot help you then.

Do you know what, Miguel? The guys who are with me are young.

They're a little bit out of control.

They don't want to be in jail again.

Can I talk to them?

No, it's fine.

I'll calm them down.

Come on, Marciano, there are more.

Whose cellphone is this?

Whose phone is this?

It's mine.

I'm sorry.

It's just that today's my birthday.

Calm down, Granny, calm down. You don't have to worry.

Don't be scared, Granny.

- It's okay. Today's your birthday? - Yes.

That's nice! What's your name?

Susana.

Happy birthday, Susi.

- Let's see, Doc. - Yes.

Why don't you get something so that she blows the candles?

Does anybody have a pastry to celebrate Susanita's birthday?

- I do. - Give it to me.

Just be calm. This will be over soon.

This is Sniper Ramírez.

I have two ravens and one bird. It's an old female.

They're bringing a kind of cake with a match on it.

They seem to be celebrating her birthday.

Are you joking, Ramírez?

Happy birthday to you...

What's the matter? Are we in a funeral?

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Susanita.

Happy birthday to you.

Well done!

- And this is our present, Susi. - What?

You're going home.

Yes, you're going home now. Let's go.

Five, six, seven, eight. Well done!

Take your purse, my dear. Let's go.

- You're going home, Susi. - Yes.

Go celebrate with your grandkids.

I need you to do me a favor.

This is a present for the cop who's waiting for you.

Tell him, "Walter sent you this."

If he asks, "How did he treat you?" Tell him, "Oh, he was very nice."

Just tell him that we were friendly.

Give me a kiss. Bye, sweetie. Bye.

- Bye. - Come here, madam!

Have a very happy birthday. Come on, come on.

Come here, madam. Madam.

Goodbye, sweetie.

Come here, Granny!

- It's okay. - It's okay.

- Come here. - It's over. Be careful.

Miguel, I released a granny.

I appreciate it. Did you talk to the guys?

How is it going?

It's bad. This went too far. Fuck.

It can end better than you expected.

We went out to do an express theft,

but we took so long that we screwed it up.

It's a pity.

You have to surrender.

You make it sound easy, Miguel.

Listen, I'll tell you something.

I was released two weeks ago

after being fifteen years in jail, Miguel.

Do you understand what I mean?

Yes, I do.

The longer you stay there, the worse it gets.

You must surrender.

He was very nice. I can't believe it.

Commander, this is Sniper One.

I have the raven in the gray suit on target.

Copy that, Sniper. Hold.

I don't want to be in jail again.

Walter, you're an intelligent man.

It's over.

Yes, I know it's over.

Bring the district attorney, please.

He needs to vouch for my life and my safety.

You know what they do.

I'll bring him,

but after talking with him, you'll get out.

You'll surrender.

- This is all I can do. - I know.

There are more powerful people above me.

- They decide. - I know.

I know all that.

Listen to me.

What a pity.

Suspect out of target.

Bye, Miguel.

Olé.

He says he'll surrender.

What do you think?

I smell something fishy.

Shit.

What happened?

It overheated. It has to cool down.

Hello.

Walter, the district attorney is here. I'll put you through.

Mario, we need more time.

What happened?

Walter, this is district attorney Chester.

Power Cannon overheated. We need more time to use it again.

Hello. Hello? Walter?

Walter?

Miguel, are you there?

Yes, I'm here. What's the matter?

What was the surname of the district attorney? Chester?

Yes.

That son of a bitch?

Forget about it, Miguel.

The last time, he made them kick my ass,

and that asshole didn't do shit to help me.

- I can guarantee you... - Fuck yourself, jerk.

I still remember you laughing when the officer stepped on my head.

- You remember, don't you? - You're confused, Walter.

I'm the one confused? Really?

Son of a bitch, jerk, are you going to lie to me again? You?

I'm just saying one thing. You'll negotiate with my lawyer.

Otherwise, there's no deal and everything goes to hell.

Calm down, Walter.

You are asking me to calm down? Fucking fascist.

Put Miguel on the line.

Walter, give me your lawyer's number. We'll call him.

So we can end this whole thing.

Give me his number.

I'll give you my lawyer's number. I'll give it to you.

154...

154...

...659...

...659...

...2811...

...2811. What's his name?

Juan Carlos Mendizábal.

Tell him I'm the man in the gray suit.

Do you doubt me? I'm a flawless person.

It's working.

Yes, just a minute.

Sonia, how many times do I have to tell you this?

On the right, the number of the court; on the left date and place;

and below it, "Dear Judge."

Is it so hard?

Who is this?

- Mr. Mendizábal? - Yes.

I'm district attorney Chester, office number one of San Isidro.

There is a hostage situation in Banco Río, Acassuso branch,

and one of the criminals has asked for you.

He seems to be your client.

So? I have many clients. At least, tell me his name. Who is it?

He identified as "the man in the gray suit."

That's weird. He has just come out.

This man is holding a lot of hostages, do you understand?

Well, give me the address. I'll be right there.

Libertador and Perú.

Thank you very much. I'm on my way.

Sonia, I have to go.

So?

He's coming.

It stopped again. How long do we have?

Let's give it five minutes.

Let's go, Fer.

Try again.

How are you doing?

Are we done?

Is everything all right?

You don't care about the money.

No, it isn't the money. No.

Brecht asked himself: What's worse? Robbing a bank or founding it?

Oh, you're justifying yourself.

No, no.

I'm not Robin Hood.

I'm just completely absorbed by this whole thing.

I wake up and fall asleep thinking about the plan.

I think it's perfect.

A planning, Fernando, starts failing

when its mastermind believes he has a perfect plan.

And it wasn't Brecht who said it.

I say it.

Phase seven:

Weapons and Hand-passing.

Weapons and Hand-passing.

Come on, you jerk!

Doc.

Come on!

- Final phase: Fugazzeta. - Okay.

Walter?

Did you talk to my lawyer?

Yes, he's on his way.

Call the lawyer.

I was thinking, Miguel, that we've been here for a while.

Before surrendering, we'd like something to eat.

What do you want to eat?

Five fugazzetas.

Five fugazzeta pizzas. Beverages?

Some Cokes.

Call him again.

Don't dally.

I don't want to spend the afternoon waiting for that delivery. Okay?

Walter? Walter?

Motherfucker.

They were ready to surrender. Why are they trying to buy time?

They must be blocking the entries...

or getting ready for a confrontation... maybe.

Well, I...

- Different options. - Sileo?

- What? - The manager of the branch.

- I'm the manager. - Tell me.

Is there another exit besides the door, the roof, or the parking lot?

- I told the officers... - Answer me.

No, there aren't.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- Please, take care of the people. - Don't... What are we doing?

- I understand... - Go away!

- Who'll pay for this? - Just a moment.

Boss, pizzas are here.

The number you have reached is not in service.

The number you have reached is not in service.

Son of a bitch.

Move.

Well...

Who talked? Huh?

Who's been talking? Let's see. Who was it?

What are you saying, Mario?

There are rumors, Doc.

They're also mentioning Banco Río.

It's a pity. I thought we were professionals.

What happened?

Nobody talked.

Well, your words sound nice. That's what I'm trying to find out.

They may be talking about another heist.

Do you think they're talking about another heist?

- Calm down. - I'm calm. I am calm, Fer. I am.

I just want to know who opened his mouth.

Fer?

Mario, you're talking nonsense.

Really?

- Am I talking nonsense? - You're talking nonsense.

Come on. Stop.

This jerk said I'm talking nonsense.

Stop it. Stop it.

Am I talking nonsense?

- Yes, you are. - Mario, put the gun down.

Mario, put the gun down.

Who was it, assholes?

It's a toy.

Fucking Uruguayan.

I'm sorry, guys,

but we wanted to be clear about something.

We won't break into the bank with real weapons.

We're using replicas.

Replicas? Are you kidding?

You thought they were real.

We don't need anyone to make a mistake and shoot.

What if they shoot? We need to protect ourselves.

After the Ramallo massacre, no policeman will enter the bank.

As long as we have hostages, they won't shoot.

If they catch us, the replicas...

will save us many years in prison.

Believe me. The plan is perfect as it is.

If any of you have any doubts, this is the moment to say so.

I do.

How will the police find out we used replicas?

All of you stay calm. Stay where you are.

Look down, look down.

Come on, come on. Like that.

Take it easy. Pizzas are coming.

I don't know how, but they left the bank

through the drain.

I'll tell you what to do.

Ramírez Team must enter through the drain.

We enter from the roof. We enclose them.

- No. - Why not?

We don't know if they're inside.

You can't give them more time. That's what they want.

They don't answer. They didn't get the pizza.

Snipers say there's nobody inside the bank.

What do you need?

- You're driving me crazy. - I'm not.

Yes, you are. I'm saying no. I'm the authority here.

- Yes... - You'll be punished.

- You don't see it. - There isn't enough evidence.

What if it's like the Ramallo massacre?

- Ramallo? - Who will be responsible?

My brother is calling from inside!

You're endangering his life.

- How are you? - Hello!

Let me go.

Can you hang up, please? Please, put your phones down.

He's calling me from inside.

They're calling from inside.

Hang up, please. Do it for your relatives!

Get ready to go in.

Gather up. Move on!

Coming in! Police!

Police!

You stay with the hostages!

Out, out, out.

What the hell is happening to this?

This happens because you skimped on the engine.

Son of a bitch!

You didn't like the price of a new engine.

You said it'd be as good as new.

We have millions of dollars. What are two thousand?

Now you say it.

Never mind. Let's row.

And the money? How are we going to take it?

It's a long distance to take it by foot.

Yes, it'll take us more than three hours.

I thought of using inflatable boats.

With motor? The depth isn't enough.

If they find out about the drain, they'll wait for us in the river.

And we'll be screwed.

You're right.

We could build a dam.

Come on, come on!

That's it!

Straight ahead.

Come on, come on!

Move you all!

Come on! Come on!

Yes, keep going.

To the left.

Help me.

An explosive!

An explosive!

Come on! Harder!

Come on.

More, more.

Let's go. Let's go.

Yeah!

Well done, Mario.

Sir, the weapons found are replicas.

I repeat. They're replicas.

Otter 1 to Otter 2, do you copy?

Otter 1 to Otter 2, do you copy?

I do.

Ready!

- Police! - Identify yourself!

It's me, Sileo!

Oh, please. No.

This must be the most expensive van in the world.

BANK

Motherfuckers.

“IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE RICH,

WITH NO WEAPONS AND NO GRUDGES,

IT'S JUST MONEY, NOT A MATTER OF LOVE"

Unbelievable!

Congratulations, guys.

Congratulations. I mean it.

Now, let's keep a low profile. And remain hidden.

In the Argentine police history, I don't remember a gang

that has operated with this kind of logistic, technique and luck

as the gang that robbed Banco Río.

Clearly, it was a well-prepared gang.

But I guarantee you

that they'll be behind bars soon having mate.

More news in a while.

Name?

Mine or my husband's?

Your husband's.

Alberto de la Torre.

My husband...

He robbed the bank... Banco Río.

- He robbed the bank? - Yes.

The money is in my house, in the ceiling.

Do you want the address?

Hold on. Hold on, please.

Captain!

Don't move! Don't move!

On the ground!

Sons of bitches, motherfuckers!

Fuck you!

You're brave when you're all together.

Fuck you!

- Don't touch me! - Don't move!

Don't touch me!

Motherfucker!

Son of a bitch.

Rubén Alberto de la Torre has just been captured.

After a magnificent pursuit,

they captured one of the robbers of Banco Río.

They're looking for the man who planned the bank heist.

Is he around here?

They will never find him.

Some people in Buenos Aires told me how it was planned.

How was it planned?

- They left through Montevideo. - Yes.

- They went to Brazil. - Yes.

They invested all the money there.

The brain of the heist isn't an ordinary guy.

He's a very famous politician in Buenos Aires.

He must be in Miami now or on some island

where nobody knows him.

We'll never know who he is.

The compacted iron is a cover.

- Bring the car tonight. - Okay.

Stop! Police! Don't move! On the ground!

On the ground! Come on!

Come on!

Police!

On the ground. Hands on the floor.

On the ground!

Sebastián!

Sebastián!

- On the wall! - Okay.

Claudia!

Let's go.

They're delicious. You surprised me. Well done.

What?

What? Come on. What?

Come on.

Doesn't the game start now? Put it on. Come on.

Do you want to watch a movie?

Put on the game.

What if I turn the TV off?

Turn it off.

And we can talk. It's better, isn't it?

Pretty girl!

I'll fuck you, bitch!

What a bitch!

How are you?

Look. I talked with lawyers.

I'm sorry, Lu.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

I'm sorry for every time I fucked up...

for making you suffer when you were a little girl.

For lying to you so many times. I'm sorry.

I know...

you've heard this many times, Lu.

But it's over. It's over.

I'm done. Never again.

I mean it.

I wanted to see you today...

because I wanted to look into your eyes and tell you that.

And I wanted you to see

that Daddy is telling the truth today.

And I understand. I understand everything.

Your anger, your rage.

I don't know, that you want to...

Kick your ass?

To kick my ass. Yes.

When you think of the most important men in history,

of the most powerful families,

you always find something fishy, something dark.

As if they had understood that, in order to stand out,

first they needed to get dirty.

Do you feel dirty about what you're going to do?

No.

Should I worry?

What do you think?

You did a great job.

No, no, no. This is our last meeting.

So I'm telling you. Daniel, you did a great job.

Why do you think I did a great job with you?

Because one week before carrying out the heist of the century,

I feel I'm the cleanest man in the world.

PARK RANGER

GENDARMERIE

- Hello. - Hello.

What are you doing here?

Spiritual retreat.

Any problem?

ID?

Oh, I'm such an idiot. I left it at the hostel.

I'm an idiot. I can't be more idiot. I'm sorry.

Do you mind if we take a look?

Do I have a choice?

Command, on alert. I think we have your suspect.

Okay.

Thanks.

My hero! Bye!

Goodbye.

Thank you, Mario.

Are you clean?

How's your aunt?

My aunt? I left her inside.

Look.

THE MASTERMIND OF THE BANK HEIST WILL BE RELEASED TODAY

Look at that.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

I liked you in the robe. But that looks good on you, too.

I can't say the same about you.

Why are you here?

Don't get your hopes up. I have temporary leaves.

I must be back at eight.

Consider this is a farewell.

Really? So fast?

You know we can make a mess together, Mario.

I'm retired, Fernando.

Yes. Me too.

Courtesy of the guards.

Do you still smoke that? My God!

It helps me focus.

Focus!

Focus yourself.

Okay. If you keep on insisting.

There. Smoke in.

- So? - Oh, now I'm focused.

- Did you see? - I'm focused. Yes, yes.

I'm very focused. Oh, it's strong.

Fuck off, asshole. Fuck off.

It was a carefully planned heist.

Robbers ran away with jewels and money from safety boxes

through a tunnel they had dug in the underground.

They had put fake explosives to avoid pursuit.

The boat was found in a drain virtually under the bank.

During trial,

we may find out what happened during the heist of the century

and why, of all the money,

there's not a penny left.

FIVE PEOPLE

WERE CONVICTED OF

"THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY."

THEIR SENTENCES:

FROM 7 TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON.

I was in Montevideo during the heist.

THE CRIMINAL COURT OF CASSATION REDUCED THE SENTENCES

BECAUSE

IT COULDN'T BE PROVED THEY USED REAL WEAPONS.

TODAY,

THEY ARE ALL FREE.

ANTONIO "DOC" DEBAUZA

HAS NEVER BEEN

IDENTIFIED.

RUMOR HAS IT

THAT HE DIED IN AN ACCIDENT TWO YEARS AFTER THE HEIST.

Rubén de la Torre

apparently bought a 4x4 vehicle and an apartment in Flores.

HE STUDIES JOURNALISM.

The alleged engineer,

Sebastián Bolster,

had 20,000 dollars in his fridge.

HE SPENT ONE YEAR AND NINE MONTHS IN JAIL.

HE KEEPS ON WORKING AT HIS REPAIR SHOP.

Luis Mario Vitette Sellanes,

Uruguayan citizen with criminal records.

HE SPENT SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON.

HE WAS EXTRADITED TO URUGUAY WHERE HE REGAINED FREEDOM.

HE IS BANNED FROM RETURNING TO ARGENTINA.

HE OWNS A JEWELRY STORE IN URUGUAY.

FERNANDO ARAUJO,

THE MASTERMIND OF THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY,

SPENT ONE YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS IN PRISON.

HE IS A PLASTIC ARTIST.

Clearly, they have perfectly planned options A and B to escape.

MIGUEL ÁNGEL SILEO

RETIRED AS A NEGOTIATOR IN 2019.

HE WAS IN CHARGE OF MORE THAN 60 NEGOTIATIONS.

HE RESCUED 168 PERSONS.

THERE WERE NO CASUALTIES IN ANY OF HIS CASES.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE LOOT REMAINS UNKNOWN.

ESTIMATES RANGE FROM 8 TO...

25 MILLION DOLLARS.

Were they professional robbers?

Or were they just fulfilling a teenage dream?

1,172,000 DOLLARS

AND 18 POUNDS OF JEWELS WERE RECOVERED.

ALL THE CUSTOMERS AFFECTED BY THE HEIST

WERE COMPENSATED BY THE BANK.
