Money Heist: From Tokyo to Berlin [Episode-2]

At 12.30 pm IST on September 3, it seemed like everyone was frantically refreshing their Netflix web page or app seeking out a slate with the iconic red jumpsuit and the Salvador Dali mask, marking the arrival of the new and final season of La Casa De Papel, aka Money Heist.The fourth part of the crime-drama series left us at a frustrating cliff-hanger – which seems to be an unrelenting habit of Money Heist’s writers. Former inspector Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri) infiltrated The Professor’s (Álvaro Morte) hideout and had him at gunpoint. Meanwhile, armed forces are at the ready to storm the Royal Mint of Spain.Money Heist: From Tokyo to Berlin Season 1 Download

Leading into part five, Sierra has all the odds in her favour as she plays a dangerous game of either using the Professor as a mouthpiece to control his crew or just dangling him from a chain over sewage water. Meanwhile, in the bank, a seething Arturo (Enrique Arce) plans to take on Denver (Jaime Lorente) and Stockholm (Esther Acebo) with a violent coup. Outside, the aggravating Colonel Luis Tamayo (Fernando Cayo) takes over as the picture of bureaucracy, only too happy to go any which way to make himself look good.As the ante is upped for the fifth part, the actors and creator Álex Pina make sure to meet the new challenges ahead of them.Sierra, who had been removed from her position as part four wrapped up, is beyond unhinged and Nimri makes a decent clenched fist of her role as the unsympathetic and vengeful cop. Sierra has been one of my favourite new characters in parts three and four, as she embraces a now-coarser approach to making the Professor’s life difficult.Corbero continues to give us more Tokyo in which to relish. While we all adore Tokyo for her trademark cool rage, we grow to love Silene (her real name) as more of her backstory is revealed. Dwelling on these scenes may either frustrate or calm audiences, but they add a welcome dimension to Tokyo.
