All language subtitles for Bad Banks - S02E06

I'm flying to Frankfurt tomorrow
and I'll negotiate with Global.

What? What about?

A professional secret.

How did you do it?

I won't think about that now.

Don't worry,
I'll handle things with Leblanc.

She should leave you alone.

Thank you.

This means you might work
for Global again?

How would that work?

It's a magic trick.

Stay.

- Would things get easier if I stay?
- No. It's my success strategy.

Always go down the hard path.

Adam?

Fuck!

BAD BANKS

Your WCar is
in parking level D, spot 521

Found
B519, heading to Kelkheim

Hello, gentlemen.

Mr. Schwarz,
this is really a pleasant surprise.

I'm very curious
as to why you want to talk about it now.

My entire life I've worked
towards the things

that will happen
in the next few days

and now it's time.

There was only one person
who knew about things.

The things one doubts about indicate
the strength of one's spirit and goal.

This man tasked me

with founding the subsidiary company
Silver Mountain in Bahrain

in order to sell our own junk.

Here are the documents
showing the undeclared cash payments

that I received from him,

so I would stay silent.

This man...

is Quirin Sydow.

- Sir, your coffee.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Christelle...

- How are you?
- Fine, thanks.

A bit surprised, I guess.

- Surprised?
- About your invitation.

As you can imagine
I had to make a decision.

Whether to support the safe candidate,
or the underdog.

What Mr. Schwarz raved about
in his cell is complete nonsense!

That doesn't matter. You will pack
your things and leave the bank.

Then you will report to the police.

After lunch I would like to take you
to HR to discuss your CFO-contract.

That is the right position for you.

The supervisory board
has been informed.

I've discussed it
with all the key people.

Well, that is...
I am a bit speechless.

Perfect timing.

Christelle...

- I am just giving her the good news.
- Excellent.

Yes!
No, I don't give a damn!

Find out where they are!
Right now!

I'll call the police, Adam.

- Please, let's talk.
- The children aren't here.

- But are they okay?
- Yes.

Sabine, I'm...

I'm in a dangerous situation.
I just want to talk.

Please.

There's the whole gang!

Bon app�tit!

It's nice that we're all at one table.

Quirin, please.
Don't make this embarrassing.

Oh, no, no.

I know I lost.

What's interesting

is that I first worked with you,

then with him against you,

then with her against you,
then you with her against me,

then I with you against him,

and now you're with him
and her against me.

Crazy, right?

What a crazy world!

We see ourselves as geniuses
but it's chance that matters.

- Quirin, it's decided.
- No, nothing is decided.

I'm not going away.

- We will negotiate now.
- That's not an option.

You're going to be banned
from the profession.

No. There is always a solution.

I'm not going anywhere
until we found a solution.

Come on.

Otherwise, it's not going to end.

Guys, I'm left with nothing.

What will I tell my daughter?

What have I done?

Yes, we fought against each other,

but now we're sitting here at the table
and are eating.

Together. Fellow human beings
eating at the table.

And one with nothing left for him?
Come on, guys! Please!

Quirin, put the knife down.

I am going to kill myself today.

I am going to kill myself today.

I am going to go home and kill myself.

That is the most pathetic thing
I have ever heard.

Yes.

Me too.

Come on, Quirin,
you are better than that.

We are not.

He is talking nonsense, right?

Of course.

Gabriel, I really want to bring you back
into the bank, right away.

Thank you.

Why are you in danger?

I'm realising more and more
how important you all are to me.

We will talk once now
and then you'll go.

It's one thing
that you deceived me,

pretended to be a square

and hid what I kept finding out
about you.

What you did,
your brother, your past...

But it's another thing
if you say you're in danger.

I believe you,
because that's what you are. A danger.

I wonder why it took you so long
to hit me for the first time.

Sabine, I didn't hit you.

Please, that's not fair.
I pushed you by accident, but I...

- You're a danger to my children.
- They're our children.

- As a mother I have to do everything...
- Please, Sabine, let me try to explain.

You can hide it, control it for a while,
but it will always come back.

- I'm trying! I'm doing everything I can!
- It will always come back.

I won't drink anymore!

It will always come back and my children
will be far away from you then.

Please, just go.

- What are you doing here?
- Did something happen?

- How did you know I was here?
- What happened?

Are you following me?

Is there...

- Are you following me?
- Adam, wait.

What do you want from me?
Fuck off!

Guys, thanks.

- Hey, what the fuck is this?
- Good to see you.

Good to be back.

Thank you.
I'm sorry, I'm back.

Good to see you, guys.
You're still here?

Hello, genius.

Thanks. Thanks, guys.

Get to work. Come on.

Welcome back!

What about Jana?
Is the bullshit over?

I think we should have
a normal working relationship

and not talk
about conspirational things.

Alright, then I don't have
to worry about Jana.

- And it was that easy?
- Yes, very fast.

Khano prepared the change.
There was total confusion here.

What did she say about me?

I don't think you need to worry.
Okay?

- You think?
- She got what she wanted.

I made it clear she should end
the nonsense with you.

What did she say exactly?

She's on the board and achieved
everything. She has no reason...

What did she say when you told her
to stop the nonsense with me?

Jana, relax, okay?

Trust me, today is very different
than yesterday.

- Okay, thank you.
- Sure. Let me know, if you...

- Not now!
- Leave.

- You can't do this.
- Leave us alone.

- Jana, please!
- It's alright.

The thing with Central Risk Book

was a misunderstanding
between Adam and me,

I didn't want it, it was a mistake.

We have no reason
to attack each other.

- I don't want it to continue to escalate.
- Escalate?

What has escalated?

End recording

Was it a good idea to come here?

- I want to put aside what's between us.
- You didn't answer.

- I don't know whether it was a good idea.
- It wasn't!

Why?

Because now you think
I'm scared.

If Central Risk Book
was a misunderstanding,

if you didn't want
to stab me in the back,

why aren't you fulfilling
your task?

What happened was my fault.

To make amends, I'll do the Ties thing,
but after that, we're done.

- Do your job.
- It's the last job I do for you.

Dad?

Dad, what are you doing there?

- What are you doing?
- My entire life...

Maxi...
My entire life...

I'll get help.

Shit!

Emergency call

My life's shit!

Hello? I need help.
My dad hurt himself.

Kronberg, Paul-Ehrlicherstr. 30.

- He stabbed himself in the chest.
- Stabbed himself in the chest!

Please hurry!
No, don't take it out!

- What are you doing?
- I fainted for a bit.

Sorry, I pissed myself.

Everything I said to you,
it doesn't mean anything.

All that family stuff,
it's meaningless.

- The whole damn family stuff.
- That's not true.

Everything is meaningless.
It's not important what you do, Maxi.

You're meaningless.

Stop it.

- You have to have a fresh start.
- No.

Shit!

Bank supervisory board head
allegedly murdered

Leblanc, new CFO?

Adam Pohl
Incoming call...

- Where are you?
- They killed the supervisory board head.

What?

Peter Richard,
the guy that Sydow was covering for.

Covering for?

When the trial started,
he covered for him.

You don't know
if he knew anything.

Leblanc
is the new chief financial officer.

And now she's tidying up.
They killed him.

- What will she do with us?
- Adam, stop it! You're drunk!

- You don't have to take part in this.
- In what?

Jana Liekam
Incoming call...

LUXEMBURG

Adam Pohl
Dialing...

Adam!

Let him go!

Stop!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Down!

What's wrong with him?

He's breathing.

- I'm calling the police.
- Go take care of your wounds.

Come out when I call for you.

- I have to call the police!
- Go to the bathroom.

Adam just wanted to scare you.

Or threaten you. But he didn't
want to do anything to you.

I swear, he didn't.

I... We didn't discuss
him coming here.

I didn't want that.
I wanted to stop him.

I'll get him under control. Adam...

- I'll get Adam under control. I promise.
- Listen, Jana.

Adam broke into this house.

He fought with my security man.
He didn't survive it.

When the police comes,
you'll confirm this statement.

You tried to stop him,
but he wanted revenge.

But nothing happened!

My security man
had to do it out of self-defence.

You can't do this!

Stop it!
Take the bag off!

Take the bag off, please!

He's suffocating...

Adam!

Please take the bag off.

Please take the fucking bag off.

Please, you've got us both.
That's what you wanted.

Take the bag off please!

Take your cell phone out.

Take your cell phone out,
I'll tell you every...

I'll tell you everything.

You've got us...

Please!
Stop it!

Please! Take the bag off.
I'll tell you everything.

Adam Pohl and I, Jana Liekam,

made several millions with our hedge
fund together with Felix Bender

by betting against the case
of Deutsche Global Invest,

and afterwards, I leaked
the Silver Mountain documents

which I stole from Mohamed Saltan's
phone without him knowing.

Bender transferred our shares
to an account in Mauritius.

The accounts were managed
by Jason Picelli.

When Picelli gave us problems,

Bender hired a local person
who was meant to injure Picelli,

so that someone else could make
our money disappear with the bank.

Picelli was only supposed
to have a bone broken,

but something went wrong
and now he's in a coma.

I don't even know how he's doing!

I think what you're doing with Fenger
is the right thing.

Sleep with him more, make sure
he falls deeper in love with you,

but don't ever let him
get too close to you.

As soon as you reciprocate his feelings,
believe me, he will drop you.

Let him suffer,
you can control him that way.

In the future,
take this against your panic attacks.

I don't need an employee
with mental problems.

And stop thinking
you can take care of it yourself.

Take the pills.

Any questions?

You're okay.

A concussion, but that's it.

Just sleep,
I took care of everything.

Christelle Leblanc
Incoming call...

Good morning.

I used an old contact to investigate,
and I just got an email.

Picelli is fine, he woke up.
So you can stop worrying about it.

Can the three of us meet for breakfast
in an hour?

- I'll send an address.
- Okay.

Picelli woke up.
He's fine.

Leblanc wants to meet us.

Let's go.

Eat!

Jana?

Ties' role is being discussed
by the board.

I'm afraid he'll rise up in the ranks
and that can't happen.

So hurry.

Are you planning on doing something
against Leblanc?

No.

Anonymous
Incoming call...

Hello?

Okay.

No, don't do anything.

Let us wait and hope she'll contact you.
It's too obvious otherwise.

Now that Fin21 belongs to Global,

it can access
institutional foundations.

It'll be cheaper and more exclusive.

Sell it as a big advantage
to customers.

Choose DGI foundations
that are adequate for Fin21

and fill the portfolio with them,
as quickly as possible.

Here are the foundations.

Seriously?

Listen, I was supposed to make
suggestions about sustainability.

Leave it alone. That's over.
Just add what's on there, ok?

Yes? Maria.

Hello.

- Nice hair.
- Thank you.

You always look very chic, Maria.
Where does that come from?

- I don't know. No idea.
- Everyone has their talent. Sit.

I was happy to hear from you.

I don't know what to say
about the Quirin thing.

- I hope no one thinks...
- No one does.

You wouldn't know
something like that.

I'd like to talk about your goals...

This doesn't have to be a long
job interview, I'd like to hire you.

I'd like for you to ensure
that from now on,

I look like an icon
on every photo that's taken of me.

You'll make sure I wear
the right outfit for any appointment

and that I look fresh and alert.

And here's a list of everyone in
the department who need to be fired.

Please clear that up with HR.

That's it.

You can go.

Of course it's hard
to make a prognosis,

but I think Mrs. Leblanc
is a very moral, visionary personality

that doesn't just have
the necessary strategic competence,

but also the assertiveness
that this bank desperately needs.

And one must also say

that it's about time that we saw a woman
as the head of a financial institute.

Long live the queen.

Isabelle...
I guess we'll be working together.

It's a kind of experiment.

What happens when you confront people
with reality as a politician?

Many of my colleagues would say it
wouldn't work. People want fairy tales.

They want simple solutions.

Simple promises.
Not the complicated reality.

People want to believe that all you need
to make the right decision

is for your heart to be in the
right place and a bit of brains,

but I disagree.

- Sorry, I have to laugh.
- It is laughable.

It's expected that Global
would add their own foundations,

but what's in there now, this
European Credit Opportunities shit...

- Pure trash.
- I'll put our research team on it.

Very good.
Global deserves that.

We have a schizophrenic relationship
with growth.

On one hand, it feels unhealthy.
We know the consequences,

environmental destruction,
social injustice, the financial crisis.

On the other hand,
we aren't willing to let go of wealth.

I'm advocating for an open discourse.

For politics without blinders.
Without distractions.

It really did happen.
She hired me.

Very good.

We won't have contact
for four weeks. I'll contact you.

And don't try to contact me
or do something on your own, ok?

- I don't plan on it.
- Okay, good luck.

It's great and exemplary

how important topics like the environment
and social issues are to Germans.

What isn't exemplary is

that we repress how this growth
and wealth comes about.

You're probably the first banker
to be in a fashion magazine.

How important is your appearance to you
as a female leader?

Not important.

Unfortunately,
a woman still has to ask herself

if she wants
to use her looks or not.

Using your looks
as an instrument is dangerous.

I look the way
that's comfortable for me.

Deutsche Global Invest
has now founded an incubator,

a breeding ground
for young companies.

They have even gotten
the successful FinTech start-up Fin21.

Instead of young people only building

new technology, good investments
and great products for customers,

the company's old junk
is also foisted onto the customers.

I don't recommend it.

If this is Deutsche Global Invest's
new strategy, God help us.

Jana Liekam?

Hello Miss Liekam,
this is Robert Khano.

Mister Khano, hello.

Miss Liekam, did you receive
a list from Mister Jacoby

that included all the funds to be
incorporated in the Fin21 portfolio?

No, he instructed me to choose
the funds myself. Well, one exception.

The European Credit
Opportunities Fund?

Exactly.

- Thank you, Miss Liekam.
- You're welcome.

- She is lying.
- What? Who?

Jana Liekam. I told her to pick only
funds that are adequate for Fin21.

Then why the hell
would she choose this one.

I don't know.

Ties, I am so sick
of you protecting your son.

What? I am not.
Jana Liekam is lying.

You are seriously accusing
the CEO of Fin21

of deliberately harming
her own company. Imbecile!

Jana?
Ties wants to see you.

Come in.

Why did you do this?

- Do what?
- I don't understand it.

Why? What do you want
to achieve with that?

Did someone pay you to do it?

Luc.

- She...
- Wait, let me.

Let me ask her.

Jana, what happened?

He forced me
to include your foundation.

Luc, this woman is lying.

Does that make sense, dad?
For her to lie?

I've said everything there is to say.

- Stay here, until we...
- Stop it! Don't touch me!

- She's lying, believe me.
- I didn't say I don't believe you.

FRANKFURT AM MAIN

I'm surprised you contacted me.

I'm going to Leblanc tomorrow.

- Why not?
- Right.

Do you have any siblings?

An older sister.

She lives in Australia.

- And your parents?
- I only have my mother left.

She lives in a retirement home.
In Australia.

Jana...

I've been thinking.

I'm going to invest more in research

on what we can get out of the topic
of sustainability as a bank.

Maybe, you'll return to my team
at some point.

Cool.

It's very important to me that we behave
in a professional way with each other.

But can I stay at your place tonight?

What I said before isn't true.

You're the only person I trust.

That's stupid of you.

I know.

You've spent enough time in Berlin.

FinTechs are well and good
but only part of the real organisation.

I need you here in Frankfurt.

You'll get an entire department.

A new one.
With top-level clients.

Auto, pharma and arms industry.

If the regulations change and if I can
strengthen my influence on Schunk,

they'll be
our most important clients.

What about Adam?

I'll take him back too.
He's very talented.

I can use him.

Do you remember a place in your life,

maybe in your childhood,
where you felt in complete peace?

If our psyche wasn't capable
to suppress the things that burden us,

we would fear to go out
or to do anything for ourselves

due to a bad conscience
about what happened to others.

Suppression is important.
It's a survival strategy.

Find a place
that you can return to anytime.

You'll need it.

There's something
you shouldn't underestimate.

As long as you work for me,
it's in my interest to protect you.

Honor - Loyalty - Courage
