‘Professor’, who tries to get close to Inspector Raquel while lending his cell phone, treats
Raquel like a normal person. He talks about the robbery and gets her attention to get close to ‘Raquel’. ’Professor’ could see the whole situation. However, the only thing that is unknown was about Inspector Raquel, the leader of the police command. If so, it is impossible to beat ‘Professor’ anymore if he can figure out her thoughts in advance. 


Meanwhile, the heists continue to print money in the Mint. The amount of money printed for 20 hours is 52 million euros. As the police show no signs of solving the case, the heists  begin a new strategy. The heists expressed sorry for the injured police in the statement. In addition, heists empathize with the hostages and the heists are wearing the same clothes, it will be the responsibility of the police if the hostage is injured through armed repression. As a result, the media rather report heists like heroes. They wrote positive articles about them, such as "Heist the center of economy" and "The best robber case in history. Also,  "Berlin" is completely controlling the situation within the Mint. Therefore, when the media pays attention to the robbers, they let the hostages take a video.

"You can film a video to send to your family". - Berlin.


When the hostage is filmed, people outside can think that the heists have no intention of threatening the hostage and they are just trying to take money. This is also a perfect plan from 'Professor'. At the same time, heists make hostages to dig a point underground. When everything is going well, ‘Tokyo’ and ‘Rio’ argue over the relationship. Hostage ‘Alison’ turns on the phone quietly. The police headquarters takes this opportunity and hacks that cell phone's camera. At that time, ‘Rio’ found her and turned off her phone, but the face of Rio is known to the police. Further the police could record a 6 seconds video, even though that was short but they could get a lot of information. Among them, Inspector Raquel, who finds phones on the wall, calls ‘Professor’.

"I'm a negotiator and you're a kidnapper". -Raquel.


The police situation was not that good, but it could change because there was personal information of "Rio." ‘Raquel’ says there is an internal video and presses 'Professor'  to surrender. Moreover, if he surrenders now, she tries to persuade him, saying she will reduce the penalty. After saying that, She said she will give him an hour to think about it. She completely lost to 'Professor' before, but this time, Raquel properly give pressure to ‘Professor' 


Because of 'Rio's mistake, 'Berlin" furnished ‘Rio’. Angry at the violence, 'Tokyo' begins to complain to 'Professor' .

"We're risking our lives in this rat trap". - Tokyo.


Tokyo is right. They are people on the battlefield who can lose their lives at any time. On the other hand, it is true that 'Professor' is safer than them. Anyway, the police cannot know this inside situation. So the police have to cooperate with the heist to check the hostages if they are okay. By contrast, 'Professor' can freely get information from outside. Even police do not know ‘Professor’ is outside of the Mint. Since he has already met Raquel, 'Professor'  visits the same coffee shop and asks her every day about the heist case. However, Inspector Raquel notices something weird. This is because he knows a lot of information about Mint heist even though he is not related to the police.

"Is it a coincidence that you come here and ask me every day?" - Raquel


‘Raquel’ checks if there is anything like a listening device in the clothes of ‘Professor’. However, 'Professor'  was very meticulous. He already visited the cafeteria where she would come often even before they met. As the cafeteria owner says that the "professor" who visits the cafeteria often is not a strange person, Inspector Raquel stops doubting. Rather, with this opportunity, they become closer.


Meanwhile, police find one member of heists who were pre-exploring Mint through cameras. they even find out what their car is. If the police find the car they usually ride with this evidence, it becomes a very big crisis for heists. It is an important clue that can not only identify robbers but also catch ‘Professor’. 'Professor' asks ‘Helsinki’, who was in charge of scrapping cars.

 "I left the car in the junkyard..." - Helsinki


In the past, 'Professor'  gave 'Helsinki' 1,000 euros to scrap the car, but his answer is not reliable. In fact, he used the 1,000 euros in front of him for his personal expenses, not the 2 billion euros that are not in front of him now.


"2 billion euros is not in my hands". - Helsinki.

"Okay, at least you erased all our fingerprints, right?" - Professor.

"..." - Helsinki

"Don't you know the word fingerprint?" - Professor.

"I don't know" - Helsinki

Without losing this opportunity, the police begin to investigate the junkyard to find some clues. At that time, 'Professor'  arrives at the junkyard and tries to erase the fingerprints left in the car. But, the police arrive at the junkyard where the 'professor' is located. 'Professor' succeeded in erasing fingerprints, but it is impossible to sneak out of the junkyard. However, "Professor" tears the clothes and even smacks the stinky liquid on his face. When Raquel is getting information about the car used by heists, Police find him and make 'Professor' stop. However, nobody can see him as a "Professor" disguised as a homeless man who peed and smelled so bad. So the police let him go, and the "professor" exits the junkyard. Inspector Raquel just noticed that the homeless man was ‘Professor’ because of the cleaning tools. However, it was already after 'professor' left.

‘Moscow’ had difficulty breathing within the Mint. To solve this problem, his son "Denver" gives masks to the hostage again and goes out to get some fresh air through the roof of the Mint. In order to get some fresh air, the hostages once again wear a Dali mask and go outside together. Police who do not know the situation inside observe carefully the behavior of heists. Snipers were deployed to intervene at any time if robbers harmed the hostages. Snipers are checking the situation and preparing to shoot at any time. Director of the Mint, "Roman," is his lover, and the other hostage is furious when heists talk about "Monica." The police who see this situation are confused. All the hostages, including "Roman," are holding fake guns. However, from the point of view of the police fighting, a very furious robber seems to be threatening the hostages. "Moscow" and "Denver" kneel when they find a sniper on the other side of the building.

“Damn it, sniper, put your hands up and act as hostages,” - Moscow.


From the police's point of view, whether it is a hostage or a fake gun, it seems that one heist is gonna kill the hostages. Inspector Raquel is watching and considering all the situations, but the more urgent the voices of the police reporting the situation, the more options narrow to one. The option is to shoot a person holding a gun and save another hostage.


"Shoot" - Raquel


Upon permission to fire, the sniper shot him in the right shoulder to prevent threatening people. It seems to have dealt with the situation perfectly, but after he collapsed, the police confirm that he is a hostage ‘Roman’. The police are embarrassed. The news is delivered directly to citizens through the media. The news that the police shot a hostage, not a robber, is a huge damage to the police. Not only did the police's armed repression lose support from citizens, but it also gave heists more time to print more money. However, Inspector Raquel sets up one operation to turn the police crisis into an opportunity. She suggests to the ‘professor’ that we want to send a medical team into the mint under the pretext of treating the director of the Mint ‘Roman’.

"Are you going to let him die? Let the medical team go in". -Raquel.


'Professor' , who had made a perfect plan, was thinking about whether to let the medical team into the Mint because this situation is another variable. He allowed two doctors and one nurse to enter. The police had a chance to reverse the situation. She thinks this time, it is the only situation caused by an accident, which ‘Professor’ couldn't prepare for. so if the operation is well established, it can be ahead of the heist first.


"So far, they have been two steps ahead of us. They planned everything. But this sniping is not in their plans." -Raquel


Here's what the police plan is. A three-member medical team enters the mint to perform surgery on ‘Roman’. However, one of them is Deputy investigator ‘Rubio’ disguised as a nurse. At the same time, two armed special forces personnel infiltrate the underground tunnel from an underground storage that is not captured by the camera. This underground tunnel connects to a vent. Since the surgery of "Roman" takes 30 minutes, special forces agents carefully enter the Mint while heists keep an eye on the medical team, then wear the same red clothes and masks worn by the heists and hostages and go in the hostages groups. In short, it is a two-track strategy.
