Ep 7. Episode 7
The show La Casa de Papel is a Spanish television series that follows the story of eight robbers who take hostages and lock themselves in the Royal Mint of Spain, while a criminal mastermind called "The Professor" plans the heist from outside. Season 1, Episode 7 is titled "Episode 7" and it picks up right where Episode 6 left off with the police surrounding the building.
The episode starts with a flashback to six days before the heist, where we see a meeting between Tokyo and Rio. Tokyo is trying to convince Rio to join the heist crew. She tells him that he needs to have a reason to live, and joining the heist could give him that. Rio agrees to join, and in the present day, we see the two of them hiding in a bathroom together, hoping that the police won't find them.
Meanwhile, the Professor is watching the situation unfold from a distance. He realizes that the police have found a weakness in their plan, and he comes up with a new idea. He decides that they need a contact on the outside who can help them get supplies and information. He enlists the help of Moscow's son, Denver, to smuggle supplies into the Mint.
Elsewhere in the building, tensions are rising between the hostages. Arturo, the manager of the Mint, is getting increasingly agitated, and he starts to pick fights with the other hostages. Berlin, one of the robbers, decides to take control of the situation. He tells the hostages that he is going to separate the troublemakers from the rest of the group, and he orders them to cooperate. Surprisingly, his plan works.
As the day turns into night, the robbers start to get restless. They are running out of food and water, and they are getting bored. Tokyo suggests that they start a game of poker to pass the time, and everyone agrees. The game starts off friendly enough, but it soon becomes clear that there are some underlying tensions between the robbers.
Meanwhile, outside the building, the police are working on a plan to infiltrate the Mint. They have set up a fake news crew and a fake ambulance to try to get inside. However, the robbers are too smart for them, and they see through the ruse.
Back inside the Mint, the robbers are starting to turn on each other. Moscow, one of the robbers, is starting to feel the pressure of being away from his son for so long. He tells Denver that he wants to leave the Mint, but Denver convinces him to stay. In a touching moment, Denver tells his father that he is proud of him, and that he is doing this for him.
As the episode comes to a close, the robbers are starting to feel the effects of being cooped up for so long. They are getting restless, and they are starting to turn on each other. However, it is clear that they still have a long way to go before they can successfully pull off the heist and escape with the money.
Overall, Episode 7 of La Casa de Papel is a tense and thrilling episode that sets the stage for the rest of the season. It is filled with action, drama, and suspense, making it a must-watch for fans of the series.
