Berlin And The Lady With An Ermine Ending Explained: What Happened In The Final Heist Of This Season

Throughout the entire season, fans look forward to seeing the final showdown of this season, and it doesn’t disappoint at all. The finale sees Berlin and his gang pull off not one but two huge heists simultaneously, leaving the Duke of Málaga, Alvaro Hermoso de Medina, with almost nothing to his name. 

The first job is the one Alvaro had actually hired Berlin and his crew for. He wanted them to steal Leonardo da Vinci's painting ‘Lady with an Ermine’ in Seville, but that is merely the decoy. We get to know that the real prize is Alvaro's underground safe, from which the gang escapes with 75 million dollars. This was all made possible by Berlin's greatest con of convincing Alvaro to be far away from his chambers on the night of the theft to avoid leaving a trace behind. 

Alvaro's vault was rigged with a ring of fire that ignites when anyone enters undetected. Roi and Bruce are tasked with holding out at the centre of the flames until the oxygen supply cuts out. Bruce is the one who endures the longest, allowing Damian and the rest of the crew to escape with every last bit of cash in the safe.

Why Does Berlin Return All The Paintings To The Museums?

After stealing Alvaro's entire secret collection of some of the world's most valuable lost and stolen artworks, Berlin does something nobody expects: he has every painting quietly dispatched back to the museums they were originally stolen from, including Caravaggio's The Nativity with Saint Francis and Saint Lawrence, in what becomes a joyful montage of museum curators celebrating their return. This is the moment that truly defined Berlin's complicated character. 

It is a surprisingly selfless move, but one that makes complete sense for Berlin. He never planned on stealing the paintings in the first place, and keeping them would risk putting himon the same level as Alvaro, which he did not want. 

As for the Lady with an Ermine itself, its fate is particularly poetic. The show closes with a real-life flashcard noting that the actual Lady with an Ermine was sold to the Polish Government in 2016 for 100 million euros, giving the whole storyline an ironic, satisfying real-world wink.

What Happens To Cameron In Berlin And The Lady With An Ermine?

Sadly, not everything ends in celebration this season. Cameron is found dead, her body washed up on the shore, with authorities ruling it a diving accident, but that was not how she died. Cameron was pushed overboard from a yacht after being identified as a thief. Given the chance to save herself by betraying her crew, she refuses, choosing loyalty over survival. 

In her final moments, she leaves Roi a voice message confessing that he is the love of her life, and that staying away from him only made her realise how deeply she loves him, a truth she had been too guilty to say out loud until it was too late. It is the most devastating scene of the season, full stop. 

Will There Be A New Berlin Series? 

From ‘Berlin and the Jewels of Paris’ to ‘Berlin And The Lady With an Ermine’, fans have loved seeing these shows from the ‘Money Heist’ universe. Currently, there is no confirmation for a new show which will continue Berlin’s crazy heisting journeys. 

We hope to see more series from the ‘Money Heist’ series soon. Till then, head to Netflix and binge-watch ‘Berlin And The Lady With An Ermine’!
