DAD
INCOMING CALL

You only care about your damn bank.

That's not true,
I've always helped you.

You can't even get us a loan,
we're losing everything!

Do you know how much money
I put into your restaurant?

You didn't get the last loan either.

That was my money!
I didn't want to embarrass you.

I gave you everything,
but I only get hatred from you.

Why do you hate me? Why?

Leblanc has Picelli's confession
that I hired him

to set up both of your accounts.

What about Picelli? What does he know?

He doesn't know anything from us.

In the video it looks like someone
is forcing him to make a statement.

-Maybe a cop.
-We only have one chance.

We have to make your money disappear.

So that neither Picelli
nor a third person finds out.

How would that work?

Even if we manage
to secretly write it off,

we'd still have to explain
the bank transfer.

My first vacation in five years
will start tomorrow.

New Zealand.

I'll have to relocate my vacation
to somewhere else.

Alright.

Did you brush your teeth?

You don't want to?

It's normal not to want it
as often after a while.

Cuddling is more important.

Yes. With your boss at surveillance.

I already saw that too.

Richard with a young, dark haired woman.

SEARCH:
ESCORT MODEL FRANKFURT

Exactly. It stays between us,
don't worry.

So you have no idea who that is.

Okay.

Yes, I have to hang up too.
I'll see you on Tuesday.

Good to be back. Bye.

I understand.

You were in prison for six months,
I totally understand.

But the people are waiting.

Hey, guys. Thank you, guys.

Okay, okay. Cut out. God, Jesus Christ.
I am too old for this shit.

People, I had time to think.
Of course I did, I was in prison.

Alright!

Everything is organic
from a store without packaging.

Eco-power has been set up,
and I'm also a vegetarian now.

What? I have to live it, you know?

To turn shit into gold,
you have to try it first.

Write that down, learn something.

Don't make a challenge
out of everything.

-Of course I will. I hate apples!
-Good morning.

-Cool apartment.
-Yeah, you like it?

-Not anymore.
-Did you research about Hannah?

She's a top coder.
I wonder why she's in Berlin

and not in Mountain View or Cupertino.

An idealist.

Shanti, your room is the third
on the right hand side.

Okay.

Alright girls, big day today!
Let's take over this baby!

We leave in ten minutes!

DEUTSCHE GLOBAL INVEST INCUBATOR,
BERLIN

Wow, is that our office?

This is yours.

I'll briefly sum up
our next two weeks together.

First, the FinTech top 10.

The strategy is to go aggressively
against Fin21 who are in 4th place,

Germany's most successful robo-advisor.

We have to make people out there
believe that...

They should think
there are only two possibilities.

GABRIEL FENGER:
HI.

As if they had to decide
between Fin21 and Green Wallet.

We're the good ones
and Fin21 are the gangsters.

All marketing and PR that goes out

has to be connected
to a direct attack on Fin21.

-Got it girls?
-Don't you fucking touch me.

I'm sorry.

At the same time we will initiate
our UK launch,

Adam will take care
of licensing in London.

Our worldwide launch
is in two weeks.

Which is also an attack on Fin21.

They only exist in Germany.
But we're going international.

That's extremely important.

I'm glad that it's starting

and that we'll all get
to know each other.

Hannah? Sorry, can I have a minute?

Sorry, guys.

What's going on?

I've been hired by someone else,
just received the confirmation.

-What?
-Are you going to make a scene now?

Hannah, you can't quit now.
Let’s talk about this.

And by the way, you have a non-compete
clause in your contract so you're not...

Sue me.

Hannah, please.
Let's talk about this, okay.

I really believed in Green Wallet.
I did.

But I know people like you
and I know what's going to happen.

You are going to destroy this.

Politicians are creating
a lot of pressure right now.

It's the worst possible time
for Khano to attract attention

with negative headlines.

I'm already busy looking for things
about Khano with a grain of truth.

But I thought there might be more up
to date ways than just spreading rumors.

What? More up-to-date ways?

You youngsters all want disruption
and all that now?

Why don't you ask the taxi driver
whether there are more up-to-date ways

than using a car to drive a taxi.

Or you go to the toilet and think,

"Hey, maybe there's a more
up-to-date way to shit"?

Okay, I got it.

Fuck.

I'll look for a replacement.

Do you know how hard it is to find
a coder of Hannah's level?

Go to the convention. We'll find one.

-You're taking him with you?
-I am.

AGENCY 24 CODER
LEAD ENGINEER

Oh, hey, Ben.

CHRISTELLE LEBLANC:
I'LL SEE YOU AT THE CONVENTION.

Why do you think Green Wallet
can be successful?

Trend analysis. It's a good time to be
the first one in the financial market.

Were you a visionary at the bank?

A colleague of mine from before
was a real hardliner,

he made a fortune
from dozens of private clients,

but he couldn't get happy
despite the money.

Do you know why?

He underestimated his conscience.
What have you done?

I believe in the concept
of Green Wallet.

For now.

You won't just believe in the concept,
but in the idea.

FINTECH CONVENTION, BERLIN

Look at the people here.

80% of them will have the biggest crisis
in their life soon. Him, for example.

CHRISTELLE LEBLANC:
CAFE ON THE FIRST FLOOR

In 2-3 weeks, his start-up will be
screwed and he'll be in debt.

Or her, in three months.

She gets money from feminism pot,
which makes it awful.

I have to meet someone.
I'll be right back.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I wanted to return it to you
the whole time.

I'm sorry about what it had
to come to.

The Silver Mountain documents
are on it.

You will put it on Ties' private laptop
or smartphone.

I'll make sure surveillance checks it
and confiscates his things.

Ties has a logical motive.

It'll look like he leaked the documents
before the fusion

in order to sink Global's value.

Ties has used every chance to fight me
since I've known him.

That's over now.

No.

I understand
that you've had to put pressure on me,

but now we have a common goal.
I learned from you

that a collaboration is only possible
if both sides profit from it.

Our lead engineer bailed.

We need a replacement.
Help us find one. I'll help you.

I know you have me
in the palm of your hand.

But I also know that you need me.

I'm in a rush too.

CHRISTELLE LEBLANC
NEW MESSAGE

I'M NEARBY, LET'S MEET.

We need someone with experience
in all relevant frameworks,

especially in ReactJS,
AngularJS, and VueJS.

They also need to be scrum masters,
because we're developing an agile...

-What was that again?
-Scrum master?

If I had to guess
why most people are here today,

I bet most of us are asking

how we should invest our money,
how to secure our pension...

We all know that we lose money
if we let it stay in our accounts.

There won't be
any interest in the future either.

So we can't save anymore,
we can only invest.

But where should the money go?

The Germans are careful and exemplary
when it comes to investing money.

You're skeptical
about a provider like Fin21

which I think is a good thing.

And this is why I founded Green Wallet.

Let's imagine,
all the people in the world

would decide not to put their money
in the usual suspects.

In the big corporations

that are destroying
the social and healthcare system,

in real estate which leads
to normal people

not being able to afford homes,

in industry which thrives
on extreme growth,

thereby destroying our environment.

What if everyone would only invest
money in sustainable ideas?

We wouldn't just solve

our largest environmental
and social problems.

We would also be substantially richer.

The best thing about it
is the times in which

that was regarded as naive nonsense
are finally over.

Even a bank like Global believes that.

We can guarantee that we will
increase your money,

and that this investment will have value
for society and the planet.

At Global it was always
about maximum profit,

but we've understood
that there's something

that's much more valuable to people than
a few more returns on their account.

Nothing is as valuable as the feeling
of doing the right thing.

Thao or something?

Nice that you came.

Sure. What's up?

Have you told anyone
that we're meeting?

It's normal to say,
"Hey, colleague Adam,"

"I'm meeting Leblanc,
she wants something."

-Here.
-Thank you.

I know why you haven't told anyone.

You distrust Jana.

Sorry, I don't understand
what this is.

How many times a day
are you scared they'll find out?

That you're a fraud?

That you're not good enough for the job,
that you're too dumb.

Many times a day, right?

No matter how much you try,
no matter how much you sacrifice,

you always feel like
you're not good enough,

that you're a loser.

And sooner or later
everyone will find out.

Even though you're one of the most
talented bankers I've ever met.

That's why I want to warn you
that your two colleagues

are dragging you
into a bottomless pit

that is not your fault
and you have nothing to do with.

That's it.

You'll go back
and fight with yourself

about whether you'll tell Jana
that you met me.

But you won't do it.

You'll keep it to yourself
because you know I'm telling the truth.

See you soon, Thao.

GABRIEL FENGER:
Hi.

David Kubiak?
Jana Liekam from Green Wallet.

-Hello.
-David, I have to go.

-You're dissing us.
-Well, you're the bad guys.

It's brave to buy up something
like Green Wallet today.

At some point an idea prevails.

It's not very brave
to decide for the best one.

Why is the most talented coder
working for a Frankfurter rat hole

like Fin21?

Thank you.

GABRIEL FENGER:
Hi.

JANA LIEKAM:
Hey.

Excuse me...

Excuse me, can I...

YOU WON'T GET SERVED HERE.

Listen up, Atze Pohl, my friend!

I always thought we were a real team!

But you just disappeared
without saying a word!

Honestly, even I have
to look for a position.

I'm the head of business development

even though it's much too small
for a position like this.

Marketing relies on tech,
and there's no distribution actually.

No one here wants
a typical sales twat like us.

It's the damn digitalization.
I've always said that.

Yes, it's a different life here.
That's true.

-Where were you?
-I had a kebab.

I can be your messenger.

I'll get the private clients on board,
the pensioners with too much money...

-Great.
-And the networking, to the Russians...

Great, you'd be an overpaid intern.

Dude, could you do this outside?

Luc, I have to go, get a hobby.
Jesus Christ.

Let's speak alone, okay?

DIALING...

-Can you hear me?
-Felix.

-Hello?
-I informed myself.

It'll be elaborate and expensive.
I have to pay two people.

One who makes sure Picelli
doesn't come to work for 2-3 days

and one who I have to grease up
in the bank

so he takes over Picelli's job,
transferring the money,

deleting the account
plus master data and backups,

concealing
where the money originated.

-Okay. Can it work?
-It has to.

It won't be cheap,
and you'll pay for it.

It's enough
that I have to pull a James Bond.

The operation can cost you
at least half a million.

Okay. Thank you, Felix.
And be careful, yeah?

Alright. I'll contact you later.

I can't believe we did it!

Thank you all so much
for your effort, your dedication

and for this amazing launch.

To Xilion.

I met Leblanc earlier.

Her plan is that I frame Ties.

I have to get to his table
or phone somehow.

I told her I would only help her
if she finds us a new lead engineer.

She has no idea about that field.
Do you want to buy time?

-Yes.
-Why do you need to buy time?

We have a plan in Mauritius.

What? Are you doing something illegal?

Don't get your Asian panties in a twist.
It's all good.

Do you have a minute?

It cost me time and money to get it

but I think the address
will be taken care better in your hands.

She can help you
uncover Sydow's corruption.

She can help you take
your revenge on him.

But can she also help you rehabilitate
yourself? Return to the bank?

Why would you help me?

Because you're better than me.
My talent lies somewhere else.

I wasn't born to be the head
of investment banking like you.

And if I replace Sydow
I'll do all I can to get your job back.

I don't work together with anyone.

We don't know each other.
I can only try to build trust.

My Name is Jason Picelli.

A man named Felix Bender

instructed me to open
two accounts in the Virgin Islands.

I chose Mauritius
because it's safer right now.

Bender, he transferred two million euros
for someone named Jana Liekam,

and two million euros
for someone named Adam Pohl.

I would be happy to work together.

Sorry, have you seen Ben?

-I think he is in relaxation.
-Thank you.

Ben...

-Hey.
-Hi.

I wanted to talk to you
about the stand-up tomorrow.

-Mainly about user interface.
-Soon, alright?

-In a moment.
-Okay.

Do you like them?

It takes about 1,000 years
for a golf ball like this to break down.

The artist wanted to make a statement
about sustainability.

-Ben...
-Everything okay?

Ben, wait... Ben, I can't do this.

Sorry.

I apologize, I...

It's fine, nothing happened.

Let's talk tomorrow, yeah?

See you tomorrow.

THE FENGER METHOD:

THOSE WHO DON'T PERFORM
GET HIT IN THE FACE.

LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT IT
AND PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, OKAY?

H, G, F,

E, D, C,

B, A.

Do you know what nickname I had
at university?

"Max Mustermann" or "John Doe",
I thought it was bad.

I thought people saw me
as a man with no characteristics,

until I understood
that it's an advantage

because people
can never see through you.

But now I can't do it anymore.

-Because it's obvious.
-What?

That I'm the wrong one.
That I have only lost since the fusion.

Because of the political interference
and the powerful Khano.

I'm in this position because they know

that I can only lose
at the top of this start-up tumor.

Why can you only lose?

Start-ups sound good, but need
a long time to establish themselves.

If it sounds good but doesn't get going,
you look for the problem.

And you'll find it
in the old man at the top.

-How can you speed up the process?
-I can force successes, short-term ones.

But that would damage the start-ups.

Does that interest you?
If the start-ups succeed?

-Of course.
-Why?

You don't like your job!

This means you should work
on presenting this position

as well as possible

so you can soon be
in a position that you prefer.

Good morning.

Things won't be weird
between us, right?

-No. I'm sorry that yesterday...
-It's all fine.

-Don't worry about it.
-One more thing.

I would like to see you again.

That's nice. I don't.

We have to work together,
it's unprofessional.

Excuse me.

Do you know what happened?
The guy next to Shanti

is applying
for the lead engineer position.

He's really good.

-He's from Leblanc.
-Oh, really?

It would be great if we had a spy
of hers sitting here, right?

You'll do an official job interview,
I'll try something.

DAVID KUBIAK
DIALING...

Hello, David Kubiak?
Jana Liekam from Green Wallet here.

Exactly. You remember, good.
Do you have two minutes for me?

He's from Leblanc.

-But he's good and we need him.
-We won't take him.

-Jana, really?
-Thao.

We'll fly to Frankfurt
and meet with David Kubiak.

-I got an appointment.
-What?

He's ready to talk to us.

We have to convince him to join,
he's the best.

Cool.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
HE WASN'T THE RIGHT FIT FOR US.

So, that is everyone
who works directly for the bank?

No. Only the first five.

Three of them should have
the access permission we need

and are competent enough
to do what we're asking them to do.

-So only these three then?
-Exactly.

We gather information on them
and we create personal profiles.

And then we decide
who will be our target.

Will you need more than 48 hours?

Depends on how active they are on social
media. We'll get started right away.

Hello. My name is Gabriel Fenger.

-Hello.
-We briefly saw each other.

Do you have a moment?
I'd like to make you an offer.

-What would I have to do?
-Go to the police.

Tell them you want to make a statement,
and then just tell the truth.

Quirin Sydow gave you money
over the last six months

so Peter Richard
could sleep with you.

That's it, simple.
Nothing will happen to you.

I'll give you 20,000 euros if you do it.

He's paying better than I thought.

-50,000.
-I'll think about it.

CHRISTELLE LEBLANC
NEW MESSAGE

I'VE TAKEN CARE
OF YOUR PARENT'S PROBLEM.

Damn guys, something came up.
I have to go to my parents.

Give us two number 23s.

-I thought you were a vegetarian.
-Men grow boobs if they eat soy.

It should be here. Maybe here.

-What is this here?
-It's the address he gave me.

Here!

-Unconventional.
-I couldn't think of something better.

-What do you mean?
-No one can know we're meeting.

Fin21 is worth more
than 100 million by now.

That's when the paranoia starts.

Especially when you're meeting
with the competition.

-Hello.
-Understandable.

I looked at Green Wallet in more detail.
You have a pretty good code there.

Thank you.
We're just missing a lead engineer.

So why are we meeting?
Is there something wrong with Fin21?

Fin21 is screwed.

Everyone is talking about having to be
the first one to launch,

to get customers, it's bullshit.

In the end,
the one with the best code prevails.

I don't know if that's you,
but it's not Fin21.

We all know that.
I'm the first rat to leave the ship.

-Awesome.
-It's quite urgent.

We have to launch in two weeks
and catch up to Fin21 quickly.

That's doable.

I know all the weak points.
How much do you pay?

-I get 200,000 here.
-That doesn't scare us off.

-And shares?
-We will come to an agreement there too.

Everything okay?

Breathe, breathe.
Call an ambulance!

-Okay.
-Breathe, breathe.

-Jana!
-I have no reception!

They... poisoned me!

They... poisoned me.

It was dramatic!

-Can someone help me up?
-My God, this is great.

-Fuck your life, hands off!
-What a performance!

The winner of best actor is...
David Kubiak!

-Were you ever an actor?
-I rehearsed for ages.

Come on, it was funny!

-Where's your sense of humor?
-Hats off, great joke.

Nice that you only lost your dignity
in prison and not your humor.

What's a sales guy like Adam
doing in your FinTech?

Do you even have a use for him or...

-Can you please explain this?
-Yes, sure!

I invested in numerous FinTechs
in the last year.

I have to plan ahead.
Fin21 is just one of them.

I invested even more
while I was in prison.

I thought why not just be
the CEO then!

Crazy, right?

Circus gaga.

-Should we go have coffee or...
-No, I have to work.

-Okay.
-Our office is right around the corner.

Then... we're opponents now, I guess.

-Yes.
-I have risked a lot for Green Wallet.

Don't take it personally
if I take your clients.

I'm gonna destroy you.

-Let's go, Davie.
-How was I? Good?

-You were amazing!
-Yeah?

What do you want from me?

-I want you to work for me.
-Which means?

I think Jana is working on two things.

She's stalling me, and she's trying
to get herself out of a tight spot.

I'd like to prevent
both things from happening.

Jana will destroy herself
sooner or later.

You know it, I know it.

I would like to make sure
that she doesn't destroy you.

Just give me a sign
and then I'll send my lawyers

to make sure that the lawsuit
against you goes away.

The student's injury,
the stalking accusation.

I know it makes you dependent.

We can do this. Trust me.

Then it'll be over, and you won't go
to jail because of others greed.

Give me a sign.

-He looked pretty bad.
-He is bad.

There's no way
he knows what we've done, right?

-How?
-No idea, it was just weird now.

I'll get off here, thank you.
See you tonight.

Can we wait here a bit?

-No, what are you doing here?
-What are you doing here?

I want to see my children.

Sabine! Sabine!

-We arranged that I'd see them.
-No.

-She didn't say you could see the kids.
-It's been five months.

Five fucking months!

-Being aggressive won't help...
-Did you talk her into this?

That you're violent?
She came to that herself.

-Why are you provoking me?
-Please.

You want me to lose it,
that would be easiest.

You torture me until I lose it,
until I punch someone,

and I lose custody completely.

No one has to provoke you, Adam.
You're naturally an asshole.

Let's go.

-Say it.
-We got the loan.

We can finish the renovation.

We didn't know

how much money
you invested in it yourself.

-And?
-I'm proud of you.

-Try this one.
-Thank you.

I look like my father.

And something like this?

Better.

I CAN'T PRETEND NOTHING HAPPENED.
BEN KAUFMANN

Ms. Liekam, what use
do I have for you as a co-head

if you only hire overpaid people?

We need a lead engineer, he's the one.

I spoke with Mr. Bharadwej,
he believes he can do it.

Wait. Shanti is a very good coder,
but he's missing practical experience...

Since I moved up the launch by a week,

quick pragmatic decisions
have to be made.

You launch in seven days.

-We can't.
-You can.

Use it to show the people here
that you're a leader.

Otherwise I'll kick you out.
One week, that's it.

Are your dance moves ready, Pascal?

You need a bit more.

We should do this
before you really start to piggyback.

Trust me,
it's the perfect time to sell!

Exit now.

You'll make a huge profit
and I'll get my share.

David, you have to learn two things:
one, be patient,

two, don't let others ever know
what you're thinking.

Poker face.
And now shut up and drink with me!

What the fuck?

We worked together!

Four glasses. Four is better.

This is unbelievable!

THAO HOANG
INCOMING CALL...

Yes?

If your lawyers can do it,
I'll help you.

-Hey.
-Hi.
