The Professor and Sierra in Money Heist – a Story Untold

A police officer in charge of the heist and sabotaging the Professor’s plans who
somehow ends up helping him is a trope the creators of Money Heist have pulled
off twice. The budding romance/ negotiation relationship between Raquel Murillo
and the Professor ended up changing the former’s life completely. But, as
evident from the following video, that relationship was nowhere near as intense
as the one between Alicia Sierra and the Professor.




HOW DID IT BEGIN?

The first time Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] acquainted us
with Alicia Sierra, she was torturing a member of the gang. And it wasn’t just
any member—it was Rio that had fallen into her hands. With Rio being as young
and vulnerable as he is, fans had always adored him. The woman showed no mercy
and no moral compass. She tortured him for months without end. Though Alicia
Sierra was very interesting, her unpredictability and lack of moral code made
her a tough competitor to the Professor.

Despite their mutual dislike for each other, the two knew they were equals and
treated each other accordingly. Unlike with Murillo, the negotiations between
the Professor and Sierra were not always in favor of the former. The Professor
had a severe contempt against Sierra for her treatment of Rio and then later for
having allegedly ordered Lisbon’s execution. Sierra, on the other hand, had no
personal grudges against the mastermind. However, she had taken to the heist as
a coping mechanism after her husband’s death and was too invested to give it up.

THE BUILDING OF MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN THE PROFESSOR AND SIERRA

One of the finest scenes of the final seasons of Money Heist was the one when
Tamayo declared Marshall Law. The Professor and Alicia Sierra’s escape was
nothing short of astounding. The two, though initially reluctant, showed great
camaraderie and managed to help each other. This time was a defining moment in
the relationship between two of the most intriguing characters of the Netflix
Original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/].

After this, Sierra opened up to the Professor about her grief following her
husband’s death. The two then had a stable alliance that helped the heist in
more ways than one can count. The Professor trusted Sierra with finding the gold
after he decided to turn himself in. This shows the respect and admiration he
has for her and the trust the two have come to develop.

During the finale of the series, Alicia Sierra parted ways with the Professor
and Lisbon, her former coworker. Despite the many ups and downs they had, this
relationship was definitely one of the most intriguing parts of the series.
