Bad Banks (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Dunkelheit - full transcript
Do you hear me?
I'm celebrating a bit. It worked.
It really worked.
The money has been transferred.
We'll talk when I'm back.
No more phone calls,
throw the cell away.
Felix, wait!
How's Picelli?
He'll be fine.
I didn't ask,
that would only attract attention.
He'll be fine
if it's only a broken arm.
Exactly.
I have a date.
I have to hang up.
See you soon!
Forget the guy.
What do we do about Leblanc now?
She has nothing on us anymore.
But we have something on her.
We have the information about Emox.
Forget it.
She safeguarded herself
against that.
And how?
She bet against her own clients.
You can understand
that a week later too.
And if she didn't safeguard herself,
she'll go after us
before we report her to the board,
so we should do it immediately.
Let's wait till tomorrow, okay?
Nothing will happen anymore today.
I don't have the energy to scold you.
We are in the same position we were in
when we first came to this country.
Get out of my face.
This awful situation
has to end as quickly as possible.
I won't be able to think clearly
as long as I have to do this to you.
But it'd be even worse to release you
if you're not safe.
Just tell me.
Tell me his name.
Quirin Sydow Incoming call...
No one is forcing me.
Jana.
Let's do it.
Call the board.
-Come on, I can just do it...
-No.
-Jana...
-No!
Isabelle Kayser Dialing...
Isabelle.
Please connect me with Compliance.
Good morning, everyone!
Unfortunately
I have to interrupt your work.
I'll call you back.
Please stop
all of your work immediately.
All of department C, please follow me.
Leave everything here.
You back there,
did you not understand?
Thao was always hard to suss out.
I often asked myself
why she's doing this job,
what drives her,
whether she likes me.
I still don't know today.
She always did good work,
but we had almost no private contact.
With the current situation,
the investigation,
I can't keep Ms. Hoang.
Do you need a replacement?
I'll talk to the others
and let you know.
Good. Then let's move on.
So, what do you think about it?
I'll ask my colleagues, but you
definitely need to file a complaint.
I want to know who acted independently
in Central Risk Book.
I don't know that,
we have a clear hierarchy.
Do you know what will happen
if it comes out that our bank
bet against one of our largest clients?
Financial Board Dialing...
I want to report something.
Anonymously.
I received something
from German Global Investment.
I didn't hear about anything,
I would've reported if I had.
Did you find out
something about the escort?
No.
Sydow did something to her.
I don't think so.
It's too risky for him.
I have to hang up.
Good morning.
Richard, from the financial board.
We'd like to speak
with Mr. Gust from Compliance.
Yes?
Luckily we reacted.
The board is here.
Mohamed Saltan Incoming call...
-Momo?
-Everything is screwed here
because of the Emox thing.
The board is here and Leblanc claims
she didn't give the instructions.
-They're looking for the guilty one.
-The board?
Yes. But Leblanc already closed down
the office before they came
and she claims it was us.
Now heads are rolling, damn it, Jana!
-Was it you?
-No.
Jana, what should I... Jana?
We are glad
that you have reacted voluntarily.
Whether you arranged
to speculate against Emox...
-Which I did not do.
-It's your responsibility either way.
That's why the steps
you made this morning
is an important sign for us.
I understand the impression
it would make otherwise.
I'm very sorry that it took
so many days
until we noticed it here.
We would've contacted you today still.
May I ask how this came to be?
-No, you may not.
-Of course.
It's bullshit!
We decided it.
-You decided, Jana!
-It was nil nil.
We had no reason to attack Leblanc.
Everything was fine.
You just started a war with her.
-I'll deal with Fenger.
-If we hadn't called...
Shut up!
Dad Incoming call...
-I'm trying to help you.
-By bringing me to the incubator?
-No.
-Luc.
I know you.
I don't want you
to cause a mess again
just for not getting what you want.
So that's my pattern?
Do you know what your pattern is?
Offering me help
for something I don't need.
Bye, dad.
If we could somehow...
Top news this morning is the leaked plan
of finance minister Alexander Schunk
to loosen bank regulations,
even the capital requirements.
He also wants to increase
the personal liability of board members,
another contentious issue,
especially for this sector.
Isabelle, make an...
Incoming call...
-Yes?
-Hello.
-Who is this?
-It's me.
-Who is me?
-Your son.
Not now.
Make an appointment with Schunk,
even if it's just for 10 minutes,
I want to speak to him today.
Understood.
Jacoby wants us to take
Global's foundations into account,
and since you only took sustainable
foundations at Green Wallet...
You're asking if I have plans
on sustainability for Fin21.
For marketing purposes, for example.
I don't think it's a bad idea,
but he had problems with it.
You're our finance wizard.
Don't you want to suggest something?
The coffee tastes like crap.
Can we have coffee outside?
I don't understand your strategy.
I'm sensitising people
on important questions for the future.
If we want a flourishing
European financial sector,
we need a better balance
between risk and liability.
The balance worked
very well for our shareholders!
Now they're unsettled!
Very much so!
In your situation
I thought you would support me
on every possible idea.
But liability regulations,
that's going too far?
That crosses the line.
Mr. Sydow, why would a man like you
be scared of a word like liability?
Did you learn German as a child?
No.
I was always pretty bad at German
for a Dutch person.
I learned it in the last 10 years
when I lived here.
I was in a boarding school for a while,
and there was a Dutch guy in the school.
He spoke a bit like you.
A bit funnier.
He always switched words.
When he wanted to say
”I started the car's engine,”
he said
”I torched the car.”
He was really bullied by us.
Not by me really.
I was kind of a loner,
people steered clear of me.
But I observed it.
How everyone made fun of him.
I don't know,
I wanted a piece of that.
I also wanted to rile him up.
For weeks I thought up ways
of how I could hurt him.
It was fun for me.
Stop...
What you're doing right now,
I would've gone for it a few days ago,
I would've probably reconciled
with you, but after yesterday...
We're all fighting with our gloves off,
we have all crossed boundaries,
but what you've done...
that thing with Picelli...
I feel like
I could be attacked right now.
-By who?
-Let's discuss it on our way to Berlin.
Felix, what happened to Picelli?
Why do you still have
the cell phone?
Stop lying to me!
I gave very clear instructions.
I expressed myself clearly.
-Felix!
-There was an accident.
Our guy ran Picelli over.
He's in a coma.
It's not our fault.
It was...
It was an accident.
-Will he be okay?
-I have no idea.
I just know that he's in a coma.
Listen, Jana,
this is very important.
Every move we make
could be dangerous.
You will not call the hospital.
And you won't pay anyone
to go there and see.
We'll never know what happened to him.
Do you understand?
Yes, amazingly,
everything is going great.
When is Shanti coming back?
Jana?
When is Shanti coming back?
Tomorrow.
Perfect, then we're ready.
We'd like to discuss the portfolio
and the decision-making structure...
Ben...
This is the mailbox
of Ben Kaufmann...
Gabriel, I...
We wanted...
You have to believe me...
I didn't... I really didn't know...
Gabriel!
Gabriel, wait!
Open the window.
All the way, please.
I didn't tell you something.
I also have problems like you.
-Jana...
-Do you know what...
what I doubt every damn morning?
My existence.
I wake up every morning thinking
that I don't exist.
They call it derealisation.
And...
it takes a lot of energy
to fight these thoughts.
And the harder I work,
and the more successful I get,
the more I can convince myself
that I exist.
That I'm not imagining it.
That...
two people made me.
But I have
never felt
that I exist more
than with Green Wallet and with you.
I will always repair things.
Always build things.
You will always destroy things.
Because you're just too big.
Too hungry.
Ben, I...
I noticed that with you...
Jana, I'm not your salvation.
Please leave me alone.
Federal Ministry of Finance, Berlin
Mrs. Leblanc?
Mrs. Leblanc!
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
I'll summarise
what I understand and what I don't.
I understand that you want
to support me and my plans.
I also understand that you,
as an investment head, have an interest
in having an influence on my plans.
Consultation doesn't equal influence.
And here's the point
I don't understand.
Why do you want
to publicly support me
even though your bosses
have clearly expressed
their disappointment?
No one knows what you'll achieve
with your plans yet,
and as always with such ventures,
there are people
who react with rash fear,
and people who are so unsatisfied
that they welcome new approaches.
This distinguishes me
from Quirin Sydow and Robert Khano.
If we had more time I'd be
very interested in your disappointment.
Next time we'll have more time.
Thank you
for your spontaneous visit.
-See you soon. Have a nice day.
-You too.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Bye.
She's on the hit list.
And doesn't really hide it.
She wants us to know that.
She'd be prepared
to go against her bosses.
That's good for us.
We need all the support we can get.
Ask her if she has
five more minutes for us.
What do you think, Mr. Thile?
This looks very harmonious, right?
Well, perhaps too harmonious.
Shouldn't we be worried
that our finance minister
hired someone like this as a consultant?
Definitely very quick support
-from the largest European bank, right?
-Absolutely.
She's in solidarity with Schunk,
so it'll be harder
for Khano to fire her.
Everyone'll understand it as a reaction.
Global can't afford that.
A pretty desperate plan, right?
-She's buying time.
-That's right.
For her actual plan which is...
Put yourself in her shoes,
you know her.
What will she do now?
She's already ordered
an attack on us.
Why would she do that?
She doesn't do anything
without a clear goal.
I'm Leblanc, on the hit list,
I've nothing to lose,
I'm not scared of anything.
Why don't I have Jacoby killed?
If Jacoby was gone,
there'd be a position on the board
that she wouldn't
get right now.
So she would also have Sydow killed.
We don't know
what her intentions are for Sydow.
Leblanc is thinking the same things
we are right now.
She didn't think
we'd beat up Thao like that.
And then we had Picelli killed?
What does it look like?
Will she think we wanted to break
his arm but there was an accident?
No, she thinks we wanted
to have him killed!
Unfortunately he survived,
is in a coma in the hospital.
Leblanc thinks we're ready to kill!
We didn't manage to destroy her
with Emox or Central Risk Book,
so she believes
we'll try to kill her after Picelli!
-No, Adam!
-She wants to be quicker than us,
to anticipate us.
A preventive attack!
-A preventive attack?
-Yes, a preventive attack!
That's the only thing
that makes sense!
The only thing that makes sense
is that Leblanc has nothing on us,
and now we also have nothing on her.
Leblanc is rational, not emotional.
And we'll be that way now too.
Do you understand me?
Adam!
What manager follows what interests?
Christelle Leblanc
is a powerful woman.
This is why
this is being reported on,
because men are scared
of someone like that.
She's a role model,
and hopefully she'll show them!
Elisa H
I'm right-handed.
I have not forgotten
the feeling to this day.
Sometimes I dream about it.
Recently I cooked in a dream.
I turned the meat with my left hand
and seasoned it with the right hand.
It was because of a tick bite.
Meningitis.
Quirin Sydow New message
Is Vicky with you?
Shit!
My hands.
I can't feel them anymore.
Oh God.
They're hurt.
Better?
Contact me!
To Victoria Escort
Gabriel!
Let's negotiate.
Come, sit with us.
I assume that you have
hidden her somewhere,
but the fact that...
she hasn't made a statement yet...
It's clear to me
that you want to annihilate me,
but I'm appealing to your common sense.
What use do you have in ruining me?
What happens then?
The trial is over.
I won't go to prison like you.
It won't bring you back to the bank.
It's not enough to annihilate me.
You have to exonerate yourself,
you have to be rehabilitated,
and the only one who can do it,
who can ensure
that you'll be invested in again,
that you can be trusted
on the ground
is me, my dear fellow.
I owe you that.
Anonymous Incoming call...
I'm at Richard's,
there's blood everywhere!
Come quick!
-Go, go, go!
-Calm down!
Go!
Wait!
Alright, stay calm!
Everything's okay.
Shit!
Come.
You will go in again
and call the police
if you want to keep the money.
No word about us.
Richard paid you.
He's a client, a psychopath,
like you told me.
If you mention one of us,
what will happen?
He gave you money
so you could snitch on me
and you blackmailed me.
You'll go to prison
and your money will be gone. Okay?
So, calm down.
Go in,
and call the police.
Yes?
I think you're repressing
the wrong things.
A lot of shit
has happened to you recently.
And believe me,
I'm familiar with panic.
But if you try to fight it,
it'll only get worse.
Fear and panic make you
make the wrong decisions.
Or the right ones.
What's the right decision?
Do you want to kill Leblanc?
Neither Leblanc nor we
are capable of something like that.
She did order an attack on us.
You really think they would've killed me
if you weren't there?
I'm glad we're talking about it.
Yes, I think
they would've killed you.
No, they wouldn't have.
What for?
To be sure.
We're a bank, not a drug cartel.
I'll take care of Fenger tomorrow.
What does that mean?
That Fenger is in love with me
and I can get him on our side.
Now let me get some sleep.
Good night.
Only one person can rehabilitate you.
Joachim Schwarz,
who's still in prison.
He needs to make a statement
saying he worked on behalf of Khano.
He'll do that, he's loyal,
it doesn't make a difference to him.
And I would have to make a statement
saying we pinned it on you
to protect Khano.
Then both of us will be exonerated.
And Leblanc will be kicked out.
I provoked you back then.
I know you! I knew it would work!
It was all a lie.
Gabriel, your Leo... She hated me.
She would've reported me
if I had merely touched her.
We try everything,
we play with marked cards,
we do everything in order to win.
You do too.
I'll make sure you get
your old job back.
And then we'll see.
Wait a minute!
What happened?
I'm not allowed to talk about it.
I'll buy you a coffee.
I understand
that you can't talk about it,
but not why they kicked you out
while the other two...
Let it go, Luc.
You're such a close-knit team,
I have...
always envied you somehow.
You're the dumbest person
I've ever met.
You've worked with us for so long
and don't get what assholes we are?
Maybe I'm not as dumb as you think.
What happened, Thao?
-Can we talk?
-Leave it, please.
You're ridiculous.
I lost my talent, yeah?
Do you know what you lost?
Your greatness.
You destroyed Green Wallet
and humiliated me. It won't get better.
Maybe I just want to have
nothing to do with you anymore.
Yeah?
Then you wouldn't behave
like an insulted teen.
I don't trust you, Jana.
-You think I trust you?
-What did you want?
I just wanted to ask
if we can get dinner.
Correctional Facility, Frankfurt am Main
And your daughter
is doing better?
The follow-up treatment
is strenuous, but yes.
And I'll be out of here
in seven months.
I'm glad to hear it.
Great attitude!
So the reason I'm here.
We thought of options back then...
Yes, that we ruled out.
And rightly so. But now there are
reasons to reconsider them.
Can you remember the terms?
Yes.
I'll add 20% to it.
Founding Silver Mountain,
buying the papers...
that was all Khano.
Yes, Khano initiated everything.
Alright.
Then you should notify the prosecutor
that you're ready
to make a statement.
Are you happy?
I think all of the world's problems
all lead back to the scarcity
of one resource.
It's always about the same resource.
-Happiness.
-Nice calendar motto.
The problem is
that there isn't a lot of this resource
in the world.
Not enough for everyone.
But everyone wants it,
and will do anything for it.
Even if it has consequences for others.
Did you know that we are...
at the hotel that I live in?
No.
Do you feel like having a drink?
Sure.
Is it really going
to be that easy now, Jana?
I would notice it, right?
If you're pretending.
It wouldn't work.
-I don't know what you mean.
-No?
You'd really pretend I was great
even though you hate me?
-I don't hate you.
-You hate me.
-After what I did, you hate me.
-It was payback.
What?
What was the payback for?
I never thought it would have
such extreme consequences.
And I never thought
you would go to prison for it.
I'm sorry.
Then everything's alright.
Enough of this crap.
You're here because you're sure
that you can seduce me.
Do you think I'm in love with you?
-I don't want to seduce you.
-What then?
I just want us to get along again.
That's sweet...
What do you think
you can get out of me?
Tell me.
I think Leblanc wants to destroy me.
I'd like to know
if you know something.
She wants to destroy you, sure.
What do you want?
Tell me, what do you want from me?
-Stop it!
-What do you want from me?
-I mean it, stop.
-What do you want?
What do you want?
Dr. Christoph Mertens -Lawyer
Incoming call...
Good evening, Mr. Pohl,
this is Mertens.
Mr. Pohl, I'm sorry,
I was just in court.
Your ex-wife seems to be serious.
The temporary injunction was
just the beginning, now it's custody.
This means all of your past
will be looked at,
including your brother
and all the documented
offences and crimes.
I'm celebrating a bit. It worked.
It really worked.
The money has been transferred.
We'll talk when I'm back.
No more phone calls,
throw the cell away.
Felix, wait!
How's Picelli?
He'll be fine.
I didn't ask,
that would only attract attention.
He'll be fine
if it's only a broken arm.
Exactly.
I have a date.
I have to hang up.
See you soon!
Forget the guy.
What do we do about Leblanc now?
She has nothing on us anymore.
But we have something on her.
We have the information about Emox.
Forget it.
She safeguarded herself
against that.
And how?
She bet against her own clients.
You can understand
that a week later too.
And if she didn't safeguard herself,

Let's wait till tomorrow, okay?
Nothing will happen anymore today.
I don't have the energy to scold you.
We are in the same position we were in

-I have no idea.
I just know that he's in a coma.
Listen, Jana,
this is very important.
Every move we make
could be dangerous.
You will not call the hospital.
And you won't pay anyone
to go there and see.
We'll never know what happened to him.
Do you understand?
Yes, amazingly,
everything is going great.
When is Shanti coming back?
Jana?
When is Shanti coming back?
Tomorrow.
Perfect, then we're ready.
We'd like to discuss the portfolio
and the decision-making structure...
Ben...
This is the mailbox
of Ben Kaufmann...
Gabriel, I...
We wanted...
You have to believe me...
I didn't... I really didn't know...
Gabriel!
Gabriel, wait!
Open the window.
All the way, please.
I didn't tell you something.
I also have problems like you.
-Jana...
-Do you know what...
what I doubt every damn morning?
My existence.
I wake up every morning thinking
that I don't exist.
They call it derealisation.
And...
it takes a lot of energy
to fight these thoughts.
And the harder I work,
and the more successful I get,
the more I can convince myself
that I exist.
That I'm not imagining it.
That...
two people made me.
But I have
never felt
that I exist more
than with Green Wallet and with you.
I will always repair things.
Always build things.
You will always destroy things.
Because you're just too big.
Too hungry.
Ben, I...
I noticed that with you...
Jana, I'm not your salvation.
Please leave me alone.
Federal Ministry of Finance, Berlin
Mrs. Leblanc?
Mrs. Leblanc!
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
I'll summarise
what I understand and what I don't.
I understand that you want
to support me and my plans.
I also understand that you,
as an investment head, have an interest
in having an influence on my plans.
Consultation doesn't equal influence.
And here's the point
I don't understand.
Why do you want
to publicly support me
even though your bosses
have clearly expressed
their disappointment?
No one knows what you'll achieve
with your plans yet,
and as always with such ventures,
there are people
who react with rash fear,
and people who are so unsatisfied
that they welcome new approaches.
This distinguishes me
from Quirin Sydow and Robert Khano.
If we had more time I'd be
very interested in your disappointment.
Next time we'll have more time.
Thank you
for your spontaneous visit.
-See you soon. Have a nice day.
-You too.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Bye.
She's on the hit list.
And doesn't really hide it.
She wants us to know that.
She'd be prepared
to go against her bosses.
That's good for us.
We need all the support we can get.
Ask her if she has
five more minutes for us.
What do you think, Mr. Thile?
This looks very harmonious, right?
Well, perhaps too harmonious.
Shouldn't we be worried
that our finance minister
hired someone like this as a consultant?
Definitely very quick support
-from the largest European bank, right?
-Absolutely.
She's in solidarity with Schunk,
so it'll be harder
for Khano to fire her.
Everyone'll understand it as a reaction.
Global can't afford that.
A pretty desperate plan, right?
-She's buying time.
-That's right.
For her actual plan which is...
Put yourself in her shoes,
you know her.
What will she do now?
She's already ordered
an attack on us.
Why would she do that?
She doesn't do anything
without a clear goal.
I'm Leblanc, on the hit list,
I've nothing to lose,
I'm not scared of anything.
Why don't I have Jacoby killed?
If Jacoby was gone,
there'd be a position on the board
that she wouldn't
get right now.
So she would also have Sydow killed.
We don't know
what her intentions are for Sydow.
Leblanc is thinking the same things
we are right now.
She didn't think
we'd beat up Thao like that.
And then we had Picelli killed?
What does it look like?
Will she think we wanted to break
his arm but there was an accident?
No, she thinks we wanted
to have him killed!
Unfortunately he survived,
is in a coma in the hospital.
Leblanc thinks we're ready to kill!
We didn't manage to destroy her
with Emox or Central Risk Book,
so she believes
we'll try to kill her after Picelli!
-No, Adam!
-She wants to be quicker than us,
to anticipate us.
A preventive attack!
-A preventive attack?
-Yes, a preventive attack!
That's the only thing
that makes sense!
The only thing that makes sense
is that Leblanc has nothing on us,
and now we also have nothing on her.
Leblanc is rational, not emotional.
And we'll be that way now too.
Do you understand me?
Adam!
What manager follows what interests?
Christelle Leblanc
is a powerful woman.
This is why
this is being reported on,
because men are scared
of someone like that.
She's a role model,
and hopefully she'll show them!

I'm right-handed.
I have not forgotten
the feeling to this day.
Sometimes I dream about it.
Recently I cooked in a dream.
I turned the meat with my left hand
and seasoned it with the right hand.
It was because of a tick bite.
Meningitis.
Quirin Sydow New message
Is Vicky with you?
Shit!
My hands.
I can't feel them anymore.
Oh God.
They're hurt.
Better?
Contact me!
To Victoria Escort
Gabriel!
Let's negotiate.
Come, sit with us.
I assume that you have
hidden her somewhere,
but the fact that...
she hasn't made a statement yet...
It's clear to me
that you want to annihilate me,
but I'm appealing to your common sense.
What use do you have in ruining me?
What happens then?
The trial is over.
I won't go to prison like you.
It won't bring you back to the bank.
It's not enough to annihilate me.
You have to exonerate yourself,
you have to be rehabilitated,
and the only one who can do it,
who can ensure
that you'll be invested in again,
that you can be trusted
on the ground
is me, my dear fellow.
I owe you that.
Anonymous Incoming call...
I'm at Richard's,
there's blood everywhere!
Come quick!
-Go, go, go!
-Calm down!
Go!
Wait!
Alright, stay calm!
Everything's okay.
Shit!
Come.
You will go in again
and call the police
if you want to keep the money.
No word about us.
Richard paid you.
He's a client, a psychopath,
like you told me.
If you mention one of us,
what will happen?
He gave you money
so you could snitch on me
and you blackmailed me.
You'll go to prison
and your money will be gone. Okay?
So, calm down.
Go in,
and call the police.
Yes?
I think you're repressing
the wrong things.
A lot of shit
has happened to you recently.
And believe me,
I'm familiar with panic.
But if you try to fight it,
it'll only get worse.
Fear and panic make you
make the wrong decisions.
Or the right ones.
What's the right decision?
Do you want to kill Leblanc?
Neither Leblanc nor we
are capable of something like that.
She did order an attack on us.
You really think they would've killed me
if you weren't there?
I'm glad we're talking about it.
Yes, I think
they would've killed you.
No, they wouldn't have.
What for?
To be sure.
We're a bank, not a drug cartel.
I'll take care of Fenger tomorrow.
What does that mean?
That Fenger is in love with me
and I can get him on our side.
Now let me get some sleep.
Good night.
Only one person can rehabilitate you.
Joachim Schwarz,
who's still in prison.
He needs to make a statement
saying he worked on behalf of Khano.
He'll do that, he's loyal,
it doesn't make a difference to him.
And I would have to make a statement
saying we pinned it on you
to protect Khano.
Then both of us will be exonerated.
And Leblanc will be kicked out.
I provoked you back then.
I know you! I knew it would work!
It was all a lie.
Gabriel, your Leo... She hated me.
She would've reported me
if I had merely touched her.
We try everything,
we play with marked cards,
we do everything in order to win.
You do too.
I'll make sure you get
your old job back.
And then we'll see.
Wait a minute!
What happened?
I'm not allowed to talk about it.
I'll buy you a coffee.
I understand
that you can't talk about it,
but not why they kicked you out
while the other two...
Let it go, Luc.
You're such a close-knit team,
I have...
always envied you somehow.
You're the dumbest person
I've ever met.
You've worked with us for so long
and don't get what assholes we are?
Maybe I'm not as dumb as you think.
What happened, Thao?
-Can we talk?
-Leave it, please.
You're ridiculous.
I lost my talent, yeah?
Do you know what you lost?
Your greatness.
You destroyed Green Wallet
and humiliated me. It won't get better.
Maybe I just want to have
nothing to do with you anymore.
Yeah?
Then you wouldn't behave
like an insulted teen.
I don't trust you, Jana.
-You think I trust you?
-What did you want?
I just wanted to ask
if we can get dinner.
Correctional Facility, Frankfurt am Main
And your daughter
is doing better?
The follow-up treatment
is strenuous, but yes.
And I'll be out of here
in seven months.
I'm glad to hear it.
Great attitude!
So the reason I'm here.
We thought of options back then...
Yes, that we ruled out.
And rightly so. But now there are
reasons to reconsider them.
Can you remember the terms?
Yes.
I'll add 20% to it.
Founding Silver Mountain,
buying the papers...
that was all Khano.
Yes, Khano initiated everything.
Alright.
Then you should notify the prosecutor
that you're ready
to make a statement.
Are you happy?
I think all of the world's problems
all lead back to the scarcity
of one resource.
It's always about the same resource.
-Happiness.
-Nice calendar motto.
The problem is
that there isn't a lot of this resource
in the world.
Not enough for everyone.
But everyone wants it,
and will do anything for it.
Even if it has consequences for others.
Did you know that we are...
at the hotel that I live in?
No.
Do you feel like having a drink?
Sure.
Is it really going
to be that easy now, Jana?
I would notice it, right?
If you're pretending.
It wouldn't work.
-I don't know what you mean.
-No?
You'd really pretend I was great
even though you hate me?
-I don't hate you.
-You hate me.
-After what I did, you hate me.
-It was payback.
What?
What was the payback for?
I never thought it would have
such extreme consequences.
And I never thought
you would go to prison for it.
I'm sorry.
Then everything's alright.
Enough of this crap.
You're here because you're sure
that you can seduce me.
Do you think I'm in love with you?
-I don't want to seduce you.
-What then?
I just want us to get along again.
That's sweet...
What do you think
you can get out of me?
Tell me.
I think Leblanc wants to destroy me.
I'd like to know
if you know something.
She wants to destroy you, sure.
What do you want?
Tell me, what do you want from me?
-Stop it!
-What do you want from me?
-I mean it, stop.
-What do you want?
What do you want?

Good evening, Mr. Pohl,
this is Mertens.
Mr. Pohl, I'm sorry,
I was just in court.
Your ex-wife seems to be serious.
The temporary injunction was
just the beginning, now it's custody.
This means all of your past
will be looked at,
including your brother
and all the documented
offences and crimes.
