Bad Banks - Episode Guide

The successful young banker Jana is suddenly on the brink: You will be terminated without notice. But she gets one last chance. 

Jana is provided with insider tips by Christelle Leblanc and thus learns that the billion-dollar urban development project "Leipzig 2025" will be brought forward by one year.

A delayed flu and working around the clock make Jana physically crumple.And again it's Christelle Leblanc who stands by her side.What does she really want? 
 

There are growing signs that Jana's former employer and Deutsche Global Invest want to merge. But what happens behind closed doors?

Jana does everything to ensure that the major project "Leipzig 2025" succeeds despite all adversities. But the pressure on them is increasing. Fenger obviously can not and no longer wants to protect her.

The events come thick and fast. Deutsche Global Invest is about to wind up, and Germany is facing the next financial crisis. Did all this trigger Jana?

Six months after the crash and the state bailout of Deutsche Global Invest, the cards are being reshuffled. Gabriel Fenger is in custody. The arch manipulator, Christelle Leblanc, has been side-lined as head of investment banking. People's trust in the banks has been severely damaged, but the real masterminds of the crisis have escaped. But then Jana finally sees an opportunity to take revenge on Leblanc and at the same time move to the Berlin incubator, where new forms of banking are being developed.

No sooner has GreenWallet moved into the incubator than the start-up faces a huge problem. The team needs strengthening. An attempt to poach a top talent from competition.

To beat the competition, GreenWallet needs to be internationally active. Adam flies to London to obtain a licence for the British financial market, but personal problems put a spoke in his wheel. Jana's past also catches up with her when Fenger suddenly turns up and complicates her relationship with her colleague Ben. Jana finds out that for Ben, GreenWallet is about more than his career. Meanwhile, Leblanc's plan of revenge enters the next round.

Difficulties are mounting for GreenWallet. Jana and Adam have to shelve their plan to hide their illicit earnings for the time being – they need the funds to stand up to the competition. But then the start-up is faced with shutdown because there are larger interests in play. Ben and Jana's relationship is put to the test. Leblanc, on the other hand, benefits from the changes at the incubator. She wants to get rid of Ties Jacoby and Jana once and for all.

A dynamic new finance minister is shaking up the banking world. Regulations are to be relaxed, while at the same time the liability rules for bankers are to be tightened. While some panic, others are trying to forestall banking supervision. Jana and Adam breathe a sigh of relief. Their accounts on Mauritius have been erased and Leblanc has nothing on them anymore. At a high price, though. Adam is on the verge of losing his nerve and decides to go it alone, willing to go to extremes.

The power struggle in Frankfurt is coming to a head. A clever move brings all the opponents around one table. But who has ultimately forged the best alliances? Whoever loses this game loses everything. For Jana, too, the tide has turned yet again. But she simply cannot manage to completely free herself of Leblanc's shackles. Adam has nothing left to lose and goes completely out of control. In the end Jana has to make a difficult decision after a troubled night - how far will she go to fight for her freedom?
