Moments, in order
Lisbon tells the Professor the gold is gone
On the private line Lisbon reports that fake police tied them up and emptied the trucks; the Professor realises there is a mole and Palermo sees no way out.
Empty trucks: Lisbon names the woman who knew everything
At the quarry the trucks are empty. Lisbon argues that Berlin's ex-wife, a pianist, learned the plan in bed, just as the Professor once confided in Lisbon.
The Professor's word to the gang, and nobody believes him
The Professor tells the gang the gold was stolen, orders total secrecy and gives his word he will recover it; Tokyo notes that nobody believed him.
Theme montage: my life is going on
The series' signature theme plays over the gang as the hunt for the gold begins.
The night of the fish: the Professor resigns as the brains
Flashback to the monastery party: a fish in his bed, the Professor demands the patxaran and lectures the gang on staying alert, then decides to relax.
The Professor dances and cancels class
The drunk Professor leads the gang in a dance and declares no class tomorrow; Tokyo recalls the night when the gang lost its faith in its leader.
Denver and Stockholm: the rest of my life, on one condition
Stockholm asks how Denver feels; he wants to hold her for the rest of his life, and she agrees on one condition: he never lies to her again.
Lisbon blames the Professor: you surrendered
Rio finds no dump trucks on the cameras. Lisbon turns on the Professor for surrendering to fake police, falling for the same illusions he uses himself.
The Professor deduces the gold is buried
Taking Lisbon's cue, the Professor spots tampered camera footage, reasons the thieves are hiding rather than fleeing, and concludes the gold is being buried.
Helsinki's quiet goodbye to Palermo
Helsinki, wounded, tells Palermo he doubts they will get out; Palermo insists Helsinki will be rescued because he promised, and wishes he had that confidence.
Phase two: Sagasta holds a gun to Palermo's head
The hostages spring their trap: Palermo is taken at gunpoint, Helsinki cannot bring himself to shoot during the countdown, and the army gets its green light.
The army storms the bank and the gang falls
To a slow ballad, soldiers pour through every front of the bank and take the gang one by one; Sagasta reports every member captured with no casualties.
Tamayo gloats on the gang's radio; the Professor surrenders
Tamayo taunts the Professor over the captured gang's radio and Lisbon confirms the worst. The Professor replies that he will turn himself in with his partners.
The Professor hands the checkmate to Alicia
Alicia is stunned he would surrender; the Professor explains the one-in-a-million chance and tells her to find the gold, as she once found him in hours.
Alicia's first real hug and a message for his daughter
Alicia hugs the Professor, her first since Germán died, and smiles at who she is left with. He asks a last favour, takes a stranger's car and is recognised.
Tamayo finds the vault empty
Tamayo learns the entire national reserve is gone and orders fake bursts of gunfire every two minutes so the world still believes the siege is on.
Eight in the morning: the Professor tells Tokyo he loves her
Flashback to the end of the party: the last two standing, the Professor tells Tokyo he loves her because she always makes it to the end.
Tokyo's tribute: the Professor is our faith
Tokyo tells the Professor he is the hero holding the rope, then narrates why the gang walks back into the lion's den: they will always have the Professor.
