Castilianon NetflixTo carry out the biggest heist in history, a mysterious man called The Professor recruits a band of eight robbers who have a single characteristic: none of them has anything to lose. Five months of seclusion - memorizing every step, every detail, every probability - culminate in eleven days locked up in the National Coinage and Stamp Factory of Spain, surrounded by police forces and with dozens of hostages in their power, to find out whether their suicide wager will lead to everything or nothing.

to play something down / to take the edge offexpressioncolloquialMetaphor from ironworking: removing the hard iron from a situation means softening it. 'Quitarle hierro' is the act of minimizing, downplaying, or defusing a tense or serious matter. Used when a speaker wants to reduce drama or emotional weight.
No es para tanto, intenta quitarle hierro al asunto.It's not that serious, try to play the whole thing down.ir picoteando
to play the field / to sample different optionsexpressioncolloquialLiterally 'to go pecking', like a bird moving from snack to snack. In romantic or social contexts it means to casually date or flirt with several people without commitment. Carries a light, non-judgmental tone, even affectionate when used between close family members.
Ahora que está soltera puede ir picoteando sin preocupaciones.Now that she's single she can play the field without a care.defunción
death, decease (formal/official register)noun (f)El certificado de defunción tardó varios días en tramitarse.The death certificate took several days to be processed.

joder
fuck / damn / shit (exclamative)expressionvulgarOne of the most versatile expletives in everyday speech. Functions as an intensifier, an exclamation of frustration, surprise, or emphasis, and can appear mid-sentence with almost no loss of meaning. Its shock value has diminished through overuse, so it often lands closer to 'damn' than to a hard profanity, but context governs its weight.
¡Joder, cómo llueve! Se me ha empapado todo.Damn, it's really pouring! Everything got soaked.coño
for fuck's sake / damn it (exclamative)expressionvulgarAnatomical in origin but functionally operates as a strong interjection of frustration, urgency, or emphasis. Like 'joder', heavy use has normalized it in informal registers. It punctuates commands or complaints to convey that the speaker is losing patience.
¡Escúchame, coño, que es importante!Listen to me, for fuck's sake, it's important!
