The end of season three of the Netflix series "House of Money" has raised a lot of questions. The new episodes, which will be available from the streaming service from April 3, 2020, are therefore eagerly awaited. If you no longer have the events from the first three seasons present, you will find a review with the highlights here. And a look at the most burning questions about season four.
Warning, the following passages contain massive spoilers from the first three seasons "House of Money"!
The key facts from seasons 1 and 2
The story begins with a mysterious professor (Álvaro Morte, 45) who is looking for eight criminal specialists to carry out the greatest robbery in the history of Spain. The plan: a break-in in the Spanish banknote printer and a loot of 2.4 billion euros. In order to protect everyone's identity, those involved are given city names.
So that the gang can print the planned sum, Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó, 30), Rio (Miguel Herrán, 23), Nairobi (Alba Flores, 33), Moscow (Paco Tous, 55), Berlin (Pedro Alonso, 48) , Denver (Jaime Lorente, 28), Helsinki (Darko Peric, 43) and Oslo (Roberto Garcìa) for eleven days access to the print shop. Among them: around 67 hostages.
The professor directs the robbery from a hall that is only a few meters away from the robbery site. He outsmarted the police and fell in love – unplanned – with the chief inspector Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituño, 45). Since he disguises himself as a normal citizen, Murillo also falls in love with the criminal mastermind. Not knowing that she starts a relationship with the head of the gang, she lets him participate in her private life.
It seems unlikely that an attack of this size will go off without a hitch. Due to hostage violations and unforeseen actions on the part of the police, three crew members of the professor have to lose their lives: Moscow, Oslo and finally Berlin in the grand finale.
In addition, Denver begins a relationship with Mónica Gaztambide (Esther Acebo, 37), a hostage. The two fall in love and she becomes part of the gang. In the end, the police managed to break into the print shop before the eleven days planned for the gang were over. Nevertheless, the survivors managed to escape unscathed with a whopping 984 million euros through a self-dug tunnel.
A time jump of one year follows. All of the survivors have fled to different countries and continents with their money. The inspector quit her job and continues to hold on to her feelings for the professor. He left her clues to his location. She flies to him and gives up her life in Madrid.
Season 3: Rio's kidnapping and the break-in into the Bank of Spain
Two years have passed since the attack. Tokyo and Rio have meanwhile moved away on an island in Guna Yala, Panama, and live an intimate love affair. But Tokyo longs for variety and leaves the island. In order to maintain contact, she and Rio make calls on a satellite phone. In doing so, she locates the Spanish police, who have been looking for bank robbers for years. The result: Rio is kidnapped and brutally tortured for several months to reveal the locations of his accomplices.
Rio immediately alerts the professor, who then gathers the entire gang. New in the group: Stockholm alias Mónica Gaztambide, who married Denver and had a son, Lisbon alias inspector Raquel Murillo and Palermo (Rodrigo de la Serna, 43), an old friend of the professor and his late brother Berlin.
Together, the group works out a plan to save Rio. The professor's crew would not be one of the largest robber gangs in the world if it did not result in an outstanding robbery. It is planned to break into the Bank of Spain, but the crew is not looking for the money, but for the gold stored in a special safe. In addition, they want to draw the public's attention to Rio's condition so that he can negotiate with the police about his release.
While Tokyo, Nairobi, Helsinki, Denver, Stockholm and Palermo go to the bank, the professor leads the robbery from a motorhome together with Lisbon. The advantage: As a former inspector, Lisbon knows what makes the police tick. Palermo meanwhile takes the helm in the bank. Once again, numerous hostages are involved.
These questions are open before Season 4
At first, everything seems to be going according to plan: the robbers get the gold, Rio is liberated and goes to the bank unscathed – and thus back to Tokyo. But just a little later, the situation gets out of hand. The professor and Lisbon are discovered by the police and take flight. However, Lisbon fails, it is caught. A staged execution makes the professor believe that the police shot Lisbon.
Meanwhile, Nairobi is outwitted in the bank and seriously injured by a sniper. While everyone else is worried about their lives, the police plan to storm the bank. Rio and Tokyo prevent this by opening fire on the police. The end? The prospect of Nairobi getting through seems bad. The professor remains convinced that Lisbon is dead. "And that was the beginning of the war," ended the last part of the third part in Tokyo's voice.
The most burning questions that season four has to answer include: Will Nairobi survive? Does Lisbon cooperate with the police? When does the professor learn that Lisbon was not shot? And does the professor manage to guide his gang intact and with gold from the Bank of Spain? The furious trailer for part 4 has already indicated that tension and chaos can be expected …
