La Casa de Papel (Palermo) // Translation

13. rehenes del propio infierno

Palermo walks downstairs.

"Well, ladies and gentleman" he began while he walks through the big hall and being watched of all the hostages. Tokyo looks at him confused. "I'll go."

"What are you doing there, Palermo?" Tokyo asks calm. Palermo laid his suitcase on the ground and placed two bombs on the ground.

"What I've said"Palermo said while looking at the hostages and prepares his things. "I hope me as a leader wasn't that awful. All these things what happened here, you can tell your kids", he looked at Tokyo, "it was an honor for me. My work is done so i'll go" he said smiling and walks to the door. Just as he wanted to open the doors, a shot stopped him. The hostages are screaming. It was Velez, who has her gun in her right hand and the left was in the air.

"Palermo" Velez began. "Let's talk. Somewhere else. But you can't go." Palermo looked at her, thinking if she really would shoot him. Palermo looked at the butten and wanted to press it very quick but a shot stopped him again. The hostages were screaming again. Palermo screamed too and took his hand away.

"This bitch has carried out a coup against me" he screamed and looked at Tokyo. "What the hell should i do?" he screamed and looked at Velez.

"She is responsible for military matters" she said and tries not to freak out. "And you for the technical."

"The technical" he repeated. "Do you think I'm some kind of engineer? What orders should I give down there?" he asks and starts screaming like crazy. "Who do you think I am?" he screamed. Velez can't believe he is going crazy. "I don't care about this shit. I'll. Go." he said and goes to the door.

"Do you think when you go through this door they won't shoot you?" Velez said angry.

"I have the state sectrets. They won't hurt me" he said and pointed on the suitcase in his hands. "I will open the doors manually. And I'll do you a favor" he said and pointed at Velez. "Then when I stay, i'll shoot this bitch" he said and pointed at Tokyo. "Her and the others."

"Me too?" Velez asks.

"Yes" he lied. "We aren't in the same team anymore." Velez didn't said a word and suddenly pointed her gun at him.

"Stay here or I'll shoot you."

"I don't believe you" he replied.

"I'll do it" she said. Palermo smiled.

"You can't betray us" she said with an cracked voice. Where are the good moments?

"Bet I can?" Palermo asks and they both stare at each other. A face full of fustration and a face full of hate. Suddenly someone came in the room.

"Palermo! Palermo!" It's Helsinki who came running in the room, hands in the air.

"Oh right, the princess who wants to say goodbye to her prince. You have no dignity?" Palermo said ironic.

"Where are you going?" Helsinki asks. "Outside? To die or to go in the prison?" Helsinki said and tries to walks near him.

"Don't move! Or i kill you" he screamed at him.

"You don't wanna kill me? Well you have to"" he said and grabbed both of the bombs. Palermo didn't do anything and Velez had the feeling to pass out. "Then if you go outside I swear I'll do Boom Boom Ciao" Helsinki said. Helsinki turned around and looked at Velez who looked at him too. Palermo's eyes filled with tears and Helsinki hugged him. "I got you" he said and kissed Palermo's cheek. Palermo starts crying but tries to hide it. As Palermo calmed down Helsinki let go of him.

"Tie him up" Tokyo said and Palermo didn't do anything against it. "Velez too" she said and Velez looked at her with wide eyes.

"Why me?" she asks.

"You're his girlfriend. In a few hours he would manipulate you to let him go" she explained and Helsinki goes near her to tie her up. Velez tries to pointed her gun at him but he grabbed it and tied her up. Palermo just closed his eyes like something went wrong.
