Part 3/7:
As Eric packs up his things, discussions surface between Will Emerson, the head of credit trading, and Sam Rogers, a floor leader coping with a personal crisis regarding his dying dog. Will learns from Eric that Sarah Robertson, the chief risk management officer, had a hand in his dismissal, which only adds fuel to Eric's frustrations.
As the evening unfolds, Eric's model—initially disregarded—is handed to Peter Sullivan, a junior risk analyst, who completes it and uncovers deeply alarming data. The model reveals their mortgage-backed securities are at risk, posing a bankruptcy threat to the entire company. In a panic, Peter attempts to rally his coworkers, leading to a series of hurried communications as the stakes rise.
