To execute the plan, the Professor recruits eight people with specific skills but no criminal records, using code names based on world cities: (Úrsula Corberó), Berlin (Pedro Alonso), Nairobi (Alba Flores), Rio (Miguel Herrán), Denver (Jaime Lorente), Moscow (Paco Tous), Helsinki (Darko Peric), and Oslo (Roberto García Ruiz). la casa de papel 1x1 wikipedia

The team enters the Royal Mint disguised in red jumpsuits and Dalí masks. They take 67 hostages without firing a shot, though Berlin fires a warning round to assert control. The episode contrasts The Professor (outside, coordinating from a mobile command center disguised as a silver camper van) with Inspector Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituño), the lead negotiator. Their first phone call establishes a psychological chess match: The Professor demands no police intervention under the threat of executing one hostage every hour.
