The kidnappers won't get away

without life insurance.

They've got 6 hostages,

one for each of them.

It's an unacceptable risk.

Listen, Ferran...

6 of them with explosive vests.

Any error and they'll all

blow sky high, hostages included.

- Have you gone mad?

- Get out of here!

If you were the colonel

and you were in his situation,

would you let us leave alive?

Knowing we could be carrying

copies of the videos?

No way I'd let them leave

the country with all this.

There's no need to leave the country.

With the phones,

we could make 10, 100 copies.

We'd have them by the balls forever.

We could pressure them

whenever we like,

never-ending blackmail.

They're not f***ing us over

like they did those Russians.

So what's the move now?

I'm no fool, something's fishy!

- We have to wait.

- For what?

For the Uruguayan.

I'm up to my ass

with waiting on him.

So am I.

Yeah?

Is there a problem?

You tell me.

We shouldn't delay this much longer,

we have half the city paralyzed

clearing the way.

In 20 minutes you'll be

at the airport.

You know if you try any crap

we blow it all to sh*t, right?

The people, the bus, everything.

Everyone knows what to do.

There'll be no surprises.

Are you ready to go?

Uruguayan?

Give me 10 minutes and we're out.

We have the report: there is no video.

Turn around! Now!

Headquarters.

- It's Ferrn. I need to speak to Mellizo.

- He's busy now.

I know he's on an operation,

but I want him now!

The report says there's no video.

Soriano hired them to sweep for bugs.

He didn't want the turncoat

to record the conversation.

That bus must not explode!

Let's go.

Son of a b*tch!

Have you gone mad?

You want to f*** it up?

You want to f*** with me?

It's too late to change plans.

Everyone in position.

Walk slowly.

Move slowly, please.

Get on the bus, one by one.

We're hostages, please don't shoot.

We're hostages! Please!

Colonel!

What the f*** is going on?

It's not them, it's the hostages.

It's emptying out.

Nobody move!

The explosives are fake!

Nobody move!

On the ground!

No, please.

Everybody keep still!

We're hostages!

We're hostages! Please!

You see?

Clean!

I want officers at

all the Valencia subway exits.

We can't.

I know there are lots them!

Move your ass!

Colonel, all units on the move.

I don't give a sh*t

where you get the people from.

Robbery in Valencia.

Search for Soriano videos.

New evidence

implicates the Presidency.

Soriano's secrets

implicate the Government.

Secret Service

involved in Valencia heist.

Get out of here.

Everyone out!

What can you tell us about

the information on the networks?

Not now, please.

Have you spoken to

the President yet?

What was in Soriano's box?

What were they afraid of?

No statements.

If I may, please. Thank you.

Ferrn, stop it,

she doesn't want to talk.
