Money Heist - What song is this?

I’m watching money heist on Netflix. There is a song that plays during Part 2, episode 5 when Raquel gets handed the red envelope in the restaurant. It’s driving me mad. I’ve heard it before, in a film I think, but can’t place it. No lyrics, just a piano (?) melody.
Shazam/Siri/Google all don’t recognise it.
Please put me out of my misery!!!

Have never seen it, but there's a list of music here;

Thanks @chatwoo it’s not on that list or in the credits.

But I went down a reddit hole. Unfortunately I saw way too many spoilers while I was there BUT I’ve found it. It’s actually the plastic bag music from American Beauty. (Also used in, amongst other things, House MD and Shawshank Redemption which is probably where I recognise it from)

Glad you found it . But whilst they are both by Thomas Newman and sound similar, the music from America Beauty and Shawshank are very different pieces. The music for American Beauty was not written until 2000, over 5 years after Shawshank was released. The House MD track is the music from American Beauty. Haven't watched Money Heist so not sure which one you are listening to but Spotify have them both of course.

That’s really interesting @Smartypoppet

I wonder if it’s the same as either of them or if this is another variation. I don’t have a musical enough ear to tell the difference 😂 I’m just glad I wasn’t kept awake trying to figure out where I’d heard it before!
