Riefenstahl films Evie performing specific poses and routines for close-ups. When she notices the bruise Monday left on Evie’s arm, a makeup artist covers it. Riefenstahl shows Evie a letter from Hitler, granting her unlimited access to all Olympic venues. She reveals that she was once a gymnast and a dancer before injuries ended her career.

Inspired, Evie pulls Riefenstahl aside and tries to tell her about the persecution of Jews in Germany, hoping that the filmmaker will expose the truth. However, Riefenstahl dismisses her, coldly stating that she is not interested in the truth or in filming “losers.” Disillusioned, Evie realizes that Riefenstahl creates propaganda, covering reality with lies. After the filming ends, Evie reflects on Monday’s claim that there are no “good guys” or “bad guys” and concludes that the Nazis and anyone who supports them are definitively bad because they take from people and don’t care who suffers as a result.

The next day at the gymnastics finals, Evie arrives with Heinz and receives enthusiastic greetings from her teammates. Karl, Ursula, and Mary watch from the stands. As her teammates perform well, Evie calculates that Team USA is on track for bronze at the very least. During her compulsory routine, Evie conceives a plan to use a gold medal platform to expose Nazi crimes. Distracted, she loses focus and falls from the bars during the compulsories. Shaken, she barely finishes. Her voluntary routine is timid, and she skips her most difficult move.

Coach Miele tries to console her by saying that no one expected her to be there, which stings. The final results show Germany winning gold, Czechoslovakia silver, Hungary bronze, and the United States finishing last. Evie believes that she has failed everyone and has lost the heist team’s only chance to rob the Reichsbank.

After the amphitheater empties, Heinz stays to comfort Evie, while Karl and Ursula wait to see if the heist is still possible. Evie overhears a crewman complaining about filming the Nazi rally at the Olympiastadion that night. Watching the crew pack equipment, Evie announces they can still rob the Reichsbank during the rally. Heinz is shocked to learn their plan. Evie tells him about Monday’s threats but says they need his help. She promises to ensure that Monday cannot harm his family. Karl immediately agrees, followed by Ursula, then Heinz.

At dusk, Evie waits on a dark street. The emptiness triggers a memory of her family’s eviction in California. She recalls becoming unhoused, living in their car, and receiving mail at General Delivery because they had no address. She struggled in school and spent all her time in the gymnasium, while she and her sister, Helen, skipped meals to save money. She realizes Monday knew about her family’s desperate poverty and homelessness, which is why he was certain she would agree to the heist. A Rundfunk van arrives with Karl and Monday. Evie climbs into the back, where Ursula waits with a technician’s uniform. When a black sedan with Nazi flags pulls up, they panic.

The person exiting the sedan is Mary Brooks; she is disguised as Leni Riefenstahl with a wig, sweater, tall black boots, and jodhpurs. She demonstrates fluency in German and knowledge of Riefenstahl’s mannerisms. Mary reveals that she stole the car from the Nazi official who harassed her; she hopes to implicate him when authorities find it after the robbery. Monday examines her impersonation and concedes that the plan might work. Mary, fully in character, signals the start of their operation.

The team enters the Olympiastadion garage, where Ursula hides inside a crate. Disguised as Riefenstahl’s crew, they use Mary’s impersonation and a forged letter of permission from Hitler to pass guards. They reach the communications room, packed with technicians broadcasting the rally. Monitors show Hitler addressing one hundred thousand Nazis. Mary orders the guards out, showing the forged letter. The commanding officer reluctantly complies, and Evie is terrified by the reality of living under a dictatorship. As Mary closes the door, the officer stops it and points at a monitor showing the real Leni Riefenstahl sitting beside Hitler. He demands to know how Riefenstahl can be in two places at the same time.

Mary boldly claims she is the real Riefenstahl and the woman on the monitor is her doppelgänger, a double like the one Hitler uses to avoid assassination. The confused officer challenges this, but Mary maintains her imperious demeanor. The officer curses and withdraws. Mary and Monday remain and pretend to film the technicians, while Karl and Evie push the crates toward the secret tunnels. They slip through sliding doors into the corridor as the doors close behind them, entering Berlin’s secret tunnel system.

In the tunnels, they release Ursula and find a handcar. Karl comments on how Mary’s doppelgänger excuse only worked because the constant lies from the government render people unable to distinguish truth from fiction. They load the crates, and Karl powers the handcar toward the Reichsbank. Ursula warns that Mary used a line from her own Western film when confronting the officer. They arrive at the Reichsbank roundhouse.

They enter the Reichsbank sub-basement and find two elevators. Karl pries open the vault elevator doors, revealing a 15-story electrified shaft. Below is the vault entrance and a pool of water. Karl demonstrates the electrified walls by flicking a coin, which sparks violently. The plan requires Ursula to dive down the shaft into the pool and summon the elevator from the bottom. Despite the extreme height, Ursula prepares, comparing the dive to jumping off cliffs in Marseille. Evie begs her not to attempt it, but Ursula ignores her concerns and dives backward into the shaft.

Ursula plummets down the shaft at 67 miles per hour. She splashes into the pool and does not immediately surface. Moments later, the elevator begins moving; Ursula survived the dive. When Evie and Karl arrive at the vault level, Ursula is leaning against the wall, dripping but unharmed. They push crates across the corridor, timing their movement to avoid a patrolling guard. At the vault door, Evie’s first attempt at using a birthday she believed was the combination fails, lighting a warning bulb. As the whistling grows closer, Evie tries again and fails. Ursula enters the combination in European date format, with the day first. The vault opens just as the guard appears. They slip inside just in time, and Evie stops Karl from walking forward onto the electrified walkway.

Inside, they face a hallway with an electrified floor. Karl confirms the danger by flicking a coin, which sparks violently. U-shaped bars along the ceiling provide the only safe path, and they are spaced too far apart for most people to reach. Evie must swing across despite never completing the routine in practice. Despite her fear, Evie removes her overalls to reveal her gymnastics uniform. Karl ties a safety rope around her waist. She lets Karl lift her to the first bar and launches herself into the air.
