Did you hear me?

COMMAND POS HOTEL AC VALENCIA

Hello, good morning.

Nice to speak to you.

To whom do I have the pleasure?

Inspector Domingo, National Police.

Domingo...

What's your first name?

Jose Lus.

Nice to meet you, Jose Lus.

You don't mind

if I call you Jose Lus?

Look, Jose Lus,

it's all chilled out here,

you don't have to worry.

Everyone's cooperating,

but one thing they know for sure:

If they f*** up

they'll be blown sky high, right?

Yes, listen to me...

No, you listen and listen good.

I've done all that jail sh*t,

and I'm not going back,

is that clear?

I'd rather blow myself up

with everybody else here, right?

So we'd better make a deal

so that everybody can get on

with their lives.

I want a minibus.

A minibus?

Or a big one,

I honestly don't care,

I'm just trying to cut your costs.

We want to leave

with the hostages

and go straight to the airport.

A plane will be waiting for us

and, unfortunately, Jose Luis,

that's going to cost you

because we need a big one

that can fly 7000 km.

without refueling.

In any case, you...

In any case?

You must understand that

I can't decide all this by myself.

No, of course not,

you're an underling.

I imagine you'll have to contact

the important people

who make the decisions, right?

Of course,

but it'll take time.

Dress me slowly, I'm in a hurry.

Sorry?

Something my grandma used to say.

Take your time, Jose Luis.

We'll be waiting right here.

There's a problem.

Holy sh*t, there's a lot of water.

Just go on top of the tunnel.

We've still got the waterproof bags.

It's not just the water,

it's the current.

Water all along the platform

puts pressure on the tunnel,

that's why it's rising.

How much time have we got?

Half an hour.

Three quarters at most.

Jesus f***ing Christ.

It wasn't the right day, I told you.

F*** that. How did we know

it was gonna rain like this?

Not even the weather man knew.

Two months digging that f***ing hole.

Were we going to go in tomorrow

or next week, with the alarms on?

It was today.

Do your best, we've no choice.

We have to tell Varela.

Tell Varela.

We've got half an hour,

break open what they can.

Go!

It was a good plan.

In the door and out underneath

while the cops wait outside.

If it wasn't for the rain...

Shut the f*** up.

How many can you get open

in half an hour? Think about it.

50? 60 at most?

All that effort for nothing.

Come on.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Not for everyone.

One of you can get away rich.

What the hell are you going on about?

You were right, we should've waited.

You could've found another way

to cut the alarms.

It's not fair for you

to leave here empty-handed.
