'Money Heist' Season 4 Ending Explained: Did [SPOILER] checkmate the Professor to play a new game in Season 5?
Spoiler Alert for 'Money Heist' Season 2 Part 4 Episodes 1-8
In a game of chess, you never know who could be the chess master, and who may remain a mere chess piece. 'Money Heist' aka 'La Casa de Papel' draws to a close with one such ill-fated end and you can't help but see how the blunders were right there on the board, waiting to be made.
The Professor is the man with a plan, and if his intelligence goes astray, whose shoulders will the Spanish heist crime-drama ride on? At the onset of the thrilling Netflix show, the challenges make his head a little heavy and the loss of his lover leaves him astray. Not just that, he loses a key member from his team, the beloved Nairobi (Alba Flores). After the major setback, he realizes he needs to cut off his emotional ties to get back in the game. The sensational finale puts 'The Paris Plan' at play and leaves no scope for defeat.
It is brilliantly bodacious to see the Professor's well-calculated moves and jarring to witness how he snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. However, there's a slight miss. In all his enthusiasm to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, he forgets to check up on the sharp-witted inspector, Alicia Sierra. She takes the matter in her hands and conducts a thorough investigation of the trails they've left.
The first season left the Professor at the same juncture when Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituño) was in charge. However, he had a romantic relationship with her to save his ass. This time around, he seems to have no personal connection with the badass pregnant cop. Solving his masterplan piece by piece, she comes to his place of hiding and points a gun at him. He has no way to escape. With the rest of his team miles away, how will the Professor deal with this checkmate?
Is this the end of the Professor or will Alicia Sierra turn out to be a kin of the gang? There are already multiple theories floating around on how she is Berlin's girlfriend and a major part of the plan. Moreover, fans also feel that since Tokyo is the narrator of the show, she will turn out to be the only surviving member. However, there's no clue on whether one of those speculations will turn out to be true. Will the next season see the death of the Professor? Will Sierra take over as the new mastermind?
Fans are already anxious and furious. "I need season 5 now," one wrote and another posted, "I want this bitch dead in the very first episode of Season 5!" Another one wrote, "I just finished watching #MoneyHeist and I regret binge-watching it cause now there’s no new episode but honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever seen (it sucks how it looks like it truly ended and there’s no more season) but I rate it 5/5 and everyone should go watch it."
What's more, one viewer even has a theory ready. "Possible Money Heist Season 5 Plot: Last scene: the professor has a gun pointed at by Alicia. Her water breaks as she is already on the verge of having a child. Professor saves her and her child thereby gains a favor, earns her as a new member... #mytheory #MoneyHeist!"
If the Professor wants to save himself, he will have to target her baby as she is pregnant. Not one to back down easily, Sierra may not even let that affect her and that's what seems to be the scariest thing about the cliffhanger. While there is no confirmation on whether we will get to watch another season of 'Money Heist', the final scene only confirms the possibility of one. For now, if you haven't watched the show yet, binge-watch the eight episodes on Netflix right away.
