Bad Banks

Daily Maximum

Inoperative

Damn it's empty. There's no more money.

Keep the street free! Keep the street free!

The Police protect the city's main banks.

Economists warn that if Deutsche Global Invest goes bankrupt...

the consequences are five times worse

than at Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.

I'm here.

Hey. Hurry up.

The serious development in the financial sector...

with Leipzig's Mayor, Peter Schultheiss, sudden disappearance.

The politician disappeared without a trace the night of Friday.

It's gone.

Why? What?

Why, Jana? Do you hear!

Dear fellow citizens,

here's an important message from the government.

Don't be scared of the exaggerations in the media.

Leave your money in the bank. Your money is safe.

Luxembourg, Eight Weeks Earlier

Are you already awake, Flo? Did you sleep well?

Do you want sweet or healthy?

Sweet!

I also want something sweet.

No.

That's enough.

Now behave properly. Thank you.

Is it enough? Do you want milk?

Yes please.

Deutsche Global Invest, Frankfurt Am Main

I heard two of you talk out in the hallway.

One said, "Forget your privacy".

"Fenger makes sure you have nothing".

You damn right I will!

You are our first choice! Don't forget that!

You can make things happen.

This bank will expand investment banking in Frankfurt...

and have a madman like me to lead it.

That's his fault.

I know you belong to the dreaded generation Y.

You seek work-life balance...

and ask if your job fits your new shoes.

Nice shoes! I love them, but now we are wearing sleeves!

Adam Pohl! Your P&L was almost 5.0 last year?

4.8.

Very nice, but you can get better.

Be hungry, aggressive and ambitious. Let it come from the heart!

The frustration since 2008 makes it seem like the party is over.

As if we were struggling for small profits and dissatisfied customers.

And 10 years after the crisis, we still dare not...

mention our profession on a first date.

That frustration is shared by all generations. I feel the same.

I will do everything I can to make the bank here a global player.

But I need you, your courage, your thoughts and your visions!

Are you with? You also?

And you? What about you? Are you with me?

Now the ball rolls. Now we do it!

Come on, friends!

Development in the European financial sector in recent days...

has offered many surprises.

Gabriel Fenger is the new investment manager at

Deutsche Global Invest.

He will manage the bank's exchange rate.

Fenger is known in the industry as an aggressive daredevil.

I checked your mail.

I need a copy for Madame Leblanc.

See you at 12:00 o'clock.

Good day. Do you speak French? German? English?

I'm German.

There's a little chaos here.

Liekam? And you gotta get my son?

I'm pleased, Mr.Jacoby.

Get him at this address.

Don't say anything to anyone.

Okay.

Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Have a nice day.

From banker to cleaning man.

You stink.

Do I stink?

Your bastard!

Good morning, Luc. Coffee?

I've been through what we talked about yesterday.

Do you think we should mention the company structure?

Leave me alone. We have 2 hours to Brussels and I'm going to sleep.

Luc, that's important...

Thank you my friend.

The market is full of disaster bonds.

Yes, but the other disaster bonds are...

Excuse me. A piece of Belgian chocolate?

It's exquisite.

I believe so.

The other disaster bonds are based on the old standard...

while ours is based on the new one. Do you understand?

Customization sold as a renewal? What is there to imagine, Luc?

Your bank only offers me a time waste.

The biggest improvement lies in the investor chain...

which reduces the tax burden to 35%.

35% is not unusually small.

Now let's forget...

How much would be enough for you to sign?

30%?

30% would be helpful.

There's one thing in the chain that I can investigate.

30%...then we agree.

May I explain, Luc? He didn't even read the papers.

We already have 30%. He bought it on the spot!

Well done, baby.

You are the best overpaid assistant who has ever annoyed me.

I've spent months on this...

If you want to be praised, then become a nurse. But they earn less.

You can take the train. I'll call.

Asshole!

I take the train. You give me a nausea.

Lisa? Can you book a train ticket from Brussels to Luxembourg?

No, it's just for me. Thanks.

The coffee. I'm waiting for you.

Bloody hell!

Jana Liekam? Are you coming with us?

Why?

Don't worry.

I explain it all.

What happened?

I know who you are.

Don't worry. No, stay here...

This road, thank you.

They can leave your stuff here.

No...fine.

Come with me. Thanks.

Hello? Definitely. I'll do that right away.

I'll fix it. Jana!

Don't worry.

Madame!

Jana! I ask you! No!

Jana! Stop!

What happened?

Stop!

You don't know who I'm, but why was I fired?

Just give us 5 minutes.

You are Jana Liekam from structuring. You work for Luc Jacoby.

Did Luc say anything...?

Be quiet.

It's me, Philippe.

Jana Liekam is here with me because she has been fired.

Do you know anything about it?

Thanks.

You worked with the California Catastrophe product.

The most important customer is Gotthard insurance in Berlin.

They have withdrawn their offer. You gave them wrong numbers.

It was Jacoby who spoke to them and sent them the numbers.

Does he claim that I gave them wrong numbers?

Don't be so naive, Jana. You understand exactly what's going on.

What did you do wrong? Did you get him on the nerves?

Or were you so stupid that you looked better than him?

I'm constantly looking for new talent, but what a joy I have from a...

who steals the limelight from a board member's son?

Okay, I accept the rules of the game. I'm sorry for Luc...

and will correct the mistake with Gotthard.

I'm sorry, Jana.

They...excuse me.

They have seen me do Luc's work for months...

and now I'm fired because of him?

If you want, we can talk about it tonight.

Not a word to anyone. KL. 21st.

Now leave with a composure. No tears. Are you with me, Jana?

No tears.

I had been fired. I panicked!

Take it easy. Relax. What do you see in front of you?

I...see my hand.

Well. Move it. What more can you see?

The steering wheel.

I cannot breathe!

Deep breaths. What does it say? How many kilometers has it run?

How many kilometers, honey?

13,459.

Well. How much money do you have in the bank?

€160,000.

How long can you live on it?

How long can you live on it?

A year, maybe.

In the worst case, how long can you survive?

Honey?

Four years.

Four years. You have nothing but money.

Something far more important. What can it be?

I have you.

It's just a job.

Just a fucking job.

Jana Liekam.

Good evening. This is Tilo Peters from WWK's HR department.

I have heard what happened and have good news for you.

I work for Deutsche Global Invest in Frankfurt.

Gabriel Fenger would like to meet you tomorrow. Do you have time?

Yes?

Is your mother home?

It's for you.

Hey.

Why does Luc succeed?

He comes from a wealthy family.
