**Episode 6** is the sixth episode of Part 1 of Netflix's *Money Heist*. It aired on December 20, 2017.

## Synopsis

*Mónica's condition worsens. The Professor enjoys the spoils of his latest trick. Río is disturbed by news he sees on the television.*

## Plot

Rio is in charge of watching Alison, who is locked in a separate room. While they are talking, Rio turns his back on her for a few seconds, and Alison takes the opportunity to grab his gun and point it at him. However, Rio manages to turn the situation around and recover his weapon. He pushes her onto the ground and inadvertently shows her his dog tag necklace, which has his real name, Aníbal Cortés, engraved on it.

At the same time, the police carry out their plan. Suárez and Garcia Lobo advance through the air ducts while Arturo is being operated on. During the operation, Berlin talks to Arturo about his two lovers, Mónica and Laura, while the surgeons remove the bullet from him.

Denver, who must operate on Mónica, manages to steal a scalpel from the doctors, but he accidentally he drops the note that Mónica had written for Arturo. Nairobi sees this, picks up the note and quietly follows Denver to the vault where Mónica is. She sees Moscow trying to operate and helps him remove the bullet from Mónica.

When the Professor realizes that the agents are in the conduits, he makes all the robbers and hostages change their masks, from the original Dali mask to the mask resembling The Scream by Edvard Munch, so that the two policemen wearing Dali masks will stand out among the rest of the group. Ángel sees the mask change and hurries out of the mint to warn Suárez, and tell him to cancel the operation.

During a discussion in the months prior to the robbery, Tokyo asks the Professor several personal questions. This is when she learns that the Professor isn't the person who originally thought of the heist. However, he does not tell her who that person is.

Raquel, exhausted by the heist, decides to go home to rest a little. Ángel, who has been in love with her for years and can't stand the refusal of his advances any longer, calls her to ask if she would sleep with someone like the stranger from the Bar Hanoi, who is none other than The Professor). Thanks to the microphone concealed in Ángel's glasses, the Professor overhears the whole conversation. Raquel says yes, and advises him to forget about the brief love affair that they had eight years ago.

To relax, the robbers decide to watch what is said about them on television. However, while changing the channel, Rio comes across an interview with his parents who claim that he is no longer their son and this news plunges him into a state of sadness, anger, and regret.

While Berlin is alone in an office, his right hand begins to shake. He is about to inject himself with a dose of Retroxil, a drug used to treat Helmer's myopathy, when Tokyo bursts into the room by force to tell him call The Professor and reveal that he had Denver kill Mónica. This revelation sends the Professor into a state of shock.
