The battle begins as the team soon joins hands and fends off the attack, and soon takes the chance to leave when a tear gas bomb hides their movement from the SEA. Led by the agent Park Chul-woo, they enter the place that was seen as the escape route, only to find the hostages inside.
On the other hand, the heisters are ready to leave through the hole inside the vault, unaware that Woo-jin has already called for backup at the location of their escape. As the team makes their way to the tunnel, the Professor gets a call from the mercenaries who tell him of what has happened.
Meanwhile, Nairobi finds out that the bomb they had planted to block the route is not working which makes them panic. Soon, they find out that Chul-woo is already outside the vault and is making his way inside with the other agents.
Left with no choice, Berline chooses to make the sacrifice and tells them to escape while he blocks the route. Elsewhere, the Professor is on the verge to quit when he is left with no road ahead; this is when he gets a call from Berlin which breaks him even more.
Nairobi meets the others and tells them about what has happened which triggers Seoul as she makes her way to save Berlin. Professor continues to hear the sound of bullets being fired while on the call with Berlin as he tries to get him to give up. Soon, the sound of an explosion is heard, making him think that Berlin is no more as he cries for his brother.
Tokyo sees what has happened and tries to get him back to working his mind by reminding him that Berlin’s sacrifice should not be in vain. However, Seoul has managed to save Berlin and gets the bomb to explode and block their escape route.
Professor soon gets back on his feet and brings a new escape route for them all while the news of bombs being planted around the Pyeonghwa Square which shocks the security team and the captured Woo-jin.
Kim Sang-man concludes that the heisters want to make use of the crowd to escape and decide to put a barricade around the square so that they do not escape, even if it means that the people may die. Unable to believe his words, the Chief orders the public to be let go from there when the bombs explode the caps of the sewage line.
This creates fear in the people which is soon replaced with excitement as red pig-shaped balloons filled with money soon come out and explode in the air. While the people rejoice as it rains money, the capitalists and politicians who were behind this money are seen as angered by the situation.
Meanwhile, Professor and his team successfully escape Mint, and she soon gets a call from Berlin who lets him know that they have escaped as well. The team prepares to leave by rail when Woo-jin arrives to stop him.

Soon, with the help of the postcard she had once gotten, she is able to reunite with the Professor.
Will there be a Money Heist Korea Season 3?
While the Korean adaptation has closely followed the original plot of Money Heist, it is not easy to say whether the show will be back with another season. However, if there is another season then we can expect it to be different as Berlin has after all survived in this adaptation.
The decision for another season will depend of the creators and the feedback of the viewers, and if they decide to follow the original all the way through then we can definitely expect another season. However, there is no such news as of yet.
