Season 1, Episode 5

Thanks to the bank Mads manipulated, Energreen is declared bankrupt. CFO Ulrik commits suicide, and Sander arranges a flight to flee the country with Claudia, but she can't leave Bertram and ends up going to jail. Sander's hitman P reaches a deal with Nicky and Bimse about the remaining cash, and Alf finds out that Sander might not have been the one pulling the strings at Energreen.

A seemingly trivial case of a small carpentry business that has gone bankrupt under mysterious circumstances gets Mads' attention. Claudia is released after one and a half years in prison but her son is in Paris and the only work she can find is at a coffee shop. But then she gets a visit from Energreen's old chairman, Mr. Christensen. Nicky and Bimse still have the auto repair shop - but on the side, Nicky has become an apprentice to the Swede, "P".

Mads has to defend the police's handling of the hostage crisis in Nova Bank. He digs deeper and find that the bank forced the carpenter into bankruptcy. Claudia has her first day at Absalon Bank. P is still in the hospital and will need to let Nicky take over his tasks.

Having knocked down Mads to avoid being caught, Nicky must dump the Swede's car, but Bimse already sold it to East European spare parts smugglers. Looking into the bank's 'special branch' record of wrecking debtors' businesses convinces Mads and Alf and even their boss, but they still lack proof. Banker Knud Christensen's security system allows him to catch Nicky spying with the bug, so he confronts the Swede about it. Stock exchange activity and a false rumor to manipulate Absalon bank's price proves to Simon he still needs to fight off hostile takeover.

Mads and Alf unravel the corrupt practices at Nova Bank, not realizing that their boss Nanna is reporting their findings to Nova's chairman, the very man they are trying to bring down. Amanda struggles with her demons as Absalon Bank faces a critical vote from its shareholders. The Swede tries to influence this vote and gives Nicky a dirty job to do.
