Official Synopsis of Cuerpo de Élite'

Ever since the government approved its creation during Spain's Transition to Democracy, a secret special operations group has existed, made up of members of the different police forces that protect the country, though no one knows of their existence. In light of the success of this most singular Elite Squad – and though it's really hard to believe in light of the antics of its members – the Minister of the Interior decides to expand the project and set up a new unit.

A green beret, a Catalan police woman, a Jesuit Basque cop, a bomb squad expert and a thief who passes himself off as a national police agent, are going to have to set aside their differences and tackle each mission impossible together. They're definitely the world's finest police squad (but the worst imaginable).
