When Raquel begins to suspect the same and forces him at gunpoint to take her there, he even has a small living place in there.

* '''Helsinki''' (Darko Peric) and '''Oslo''' (Roberto García): {{The Heav|y}}ies of the group, little is known of these two Serbians beyond the fact that they come from violent pasts, not helped by the fact that they are not ones to speak.

But not just any robbery: the takeover of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mint_(Spain) Spain's Royal Mint]] by a group of experimented robbers of several walks of life, who will make the mint workers print as many banknotes as possible, and then they will leave.

* [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Tokio denies she is in a relationship with Río, saying he is a kid - even though they have been having sex for several months already.

* IHaveNoSon: Río's father states in television (just when the robbers have managed to hook up a TV signal to watch the news) that his son is dead to him.

* OnlyAFleshWound: {{Subverted}} when [[spoiler:Mónica has Denver shoot her on the leg to [[FakingTheDead fake her death]]. It hurts like hell, needs a tourniquet so she won't bleed and the bullet did not come out. When the injury is seen, is not pretty.]]

** But the scrapyard worker saw him before, and tries to build a portrait. [[spoiler:So the Professor manages to get in a police car - sending its drivers on a wild goose chase - and threatens the Russian's family using the radio - knowing which radio channel is being used by the police assigned to the kidnapping - to ensure he won't collaborate with them.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: The scissors. [[spoiler:When the teacher takes the scissors, Arturo comes up with a plan to spark a escape plan by the cops.]]

* TooDumbToLive: The Professor gave Helsinkin 1000 euros to get a scrapyard's worker to destroy a car that had some of the team's fingerprints on it, no questions asked. Not only did Helsinki not get the car destroyed - he sent the cash to his family - he did not even think of cleaning the fingerprints. The Professor has to risk being identified and his life to find the car and clean it himself before the cops find it.

* YourCheatingHeart: Arturo is cheating on his wife with Mónica, but in spite of his promises never considers leaving her.

* Adorkable: The Professor is hilariously awkward when personally confronted with female sexuality.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: Inverted with Moscú, who used the knowledge he had gained for a legitimate job to turn to crime.

* DirtyCoward: Arturo, the Mint's director. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the one time he overcomes this is ten seconds before the police kill him after mistaking him for one of the robbers.]]

* JustAFleshWound: {{Subverted}} when [[spoiler:Mónica has Denver shoot her on the leg to [[FakingTheDead fake her death]]. It hurts like hell, needs a tourniquet so she won't bleed and the bullet did not come out. When the injury is seen, is not pretty.]]

* TheQuietOne: Helsinki and Oslo rarely, if ever, say a word.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Subverted. The police believes that the robbery happening on the same day the students visit the Mint is a coincidence, but actually the Professor's plan rests partially on Allison's presence so the police will be forced to act according to the protocols. However, the police soon realize what the plan is.

* DirtyCoward: Arturo, the Mint's director.

* PapaWolf: Moscú's weakness is stated to be Denver. [[spoiler:He brought him into the plan because he screwed up with some drug-dealers, and has an anxiety attack when Denver kills a hostage (or so he thinks).]]

* No Killing: as part of what they want is to appear to be JustLikeRobinHood, they hope not to hurt anyone, because, if they kill anyone, they will lose the battle of public opinion.
* No Names: as shown above, everyone is nicknamed [[ThemeNaming after a city]]. This, supposedly, prevents attachments and avoids the potential problem of someone outing them.

** Putting seven men and two women in an isolated house and not expecting any romantic relationships to develop is a tad optimistic.
* RefugeInAudacity: The Professor, when speaking with Inspector Murillo, makes several uncomfortable personal questions of her, such as what she is wearing and whether she has ever faked an orgasm. [[spoiler:And he also takes the time to personally speak with her by going to the same bar as she does.]]

* '''Helsinki''' (Darko Peric) and '''Oslo''' (Roberto García): TheMuscle, little is known of these two Serbians beyond the fact that they come from violent pasts, not helped by the fact that they are not ones to speak.

* SingleMother: Nairobi. Her son was taken from her when she was sent to prison.

* WholePlotReference: Part of the plan is a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheInsideMan'', with all the hostages being forced to dress the same way as the robbers so the police cannot distinguish between them.
