'Money Heist' Season 5 Episode 3: Sierra in for a shock as gang makes new plan
The military entered the bank and destroyed one of the roofs with a grenade, hurting Helsinki quite badly. Meanwhile, Professor tells Tokyo (Ursula Corbero) to not enter the room because if they do, they’ll be killed instantly. He divides the team into two. One team takes care of the team from the inside while the other team uses hostages to help their partners. Tokyo, Manila (Belen Cuesta), and Denver (Jaime Lorente) enter the room by the destroyed roof and this is when we realize that the war has officially begun.
The epic gun sequence will enthrall viewers. A rocket strike by Palermo injures many of the army personnel. Meanwhile, the team is able to rescue Helsinki (Darko Peric). Elsewhere, Tamayo (Fernando Cayo) is ready to bring another party inside the bank, but Professor contacts him. How? The reason for the governor leaving the bank was really simple. Lisbon (Itziar Ituno) attached a microphone in his handcuffs and they were able to hear everything he said about the plan.
Professor threatens him, telling him not to send any more parties inside or else his real face will be shown to the public. He also says that he will tell the media that he fabricated the evidence against Sierra and falsely accused her of being a traitor. Tamayo gets nervous and stops the other party from reaching inside.
Meanwhile, inside the bank, the military personnel are surrounded by the group and Palermo tells them to keep their weapons down. Tamayo tells the team that no other group will be coming and the leader of the army personnel abuses him. But they also have a plan up their sleeves - they make everyone believe that they are going to lower their weapon. Instead, they throw grenades to create a distraction.
Once again, a gunfight ensues and now the group of robbers is on the back foot. However, their difficulties escalate when some of their members are trapped inside the museum as the military shuts the door of the museum’s main room through a safety lock. Now, it’s only Tokyo, Denver, and Manila outside against the group's military personnel.
The penultimate episode is one of the finest TV episodes in recent times. It was thrilling, full of epic sequences, and most importantly, the chilling acting sequences that would blow everyone’s mind.
‘Money Heist’ Season 5 Vol 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
