Margin Call
Is that them?
Jesus Christ.
Are they going to do it right here?
You guys ever been through this before?
No.
It's best to ignore it, keep your
head down, and go back to work.
Go on.
Don't watch.
Timothy Singh?
- Yes.
- I'm afraid we have to speak with you.
Come.
Eric Dale?
Excuse me?
Eric Dale?
- No.
- Sorry?
I'm not Eric Dale.
I'm so sorry.
He's my boss.
He's down the hall.
Thanks.
Excuse me, Mr. Dale?
This way.
Okay.
I am obviously sorry
that we are here today.
But these are extraordinary times,
as you very well must know.
Look, I run Risk Management.
I don't really see how that's a
natural place to start cutting jobs.
We hope you understand
this is in no way personal.
The majority of this floor
is being let go today.
Ms. Bratberg is now going to run through
the details of what the firm is offering.
Okay.
Mr. Dale, the firm is offering you
a six-month severance at half your salary.
You will keep all unvested options
that you currently hold.
Health will be extended
through that period.
You have until tomorrow at 4:47 to either
take the offer or it will be revoked.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Unfortunately, Mr. Dale,
due to the highly sensitive nature
of your work here,
the firm has to take certain precautions
for security purposes
that may seem punitive in nature.
I hope, considering your
over 19 years of service to the firm,
you will understand that these measures
are in no way a reflection
of the firm's feelings
towards your performance
or your character.
I don't understand.
She's apologizing
for what's about to happen.
Your company e-mail, access to the server,
access to the building,
and your mobile data and phone service
will all be severed as of this meeting.
And this gentleman
will take you to your office
so you can clear out
your personal belongings.
What about what I'm currently working on?
I'm in the middle of something that...
The firm has worked out its transition plan
and is prepared to move forward.
But we do appreciate your concern.
We understand that this is difficult.
And here is my card.
Please contact me in the next few weeks
if you need any assistance
with this transition in your life.
Sir.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
- You still alive?
- For now.
Congratulations.
It was a bloodbath.
I heard.
Listen, Eric,
if there was something I could have done,
I would have done it.
- I know.
- All right?
Yeah, I know. I know.
Okay.
Just tell me,
who was it?
- Come on, Eric.
- Come on, Will.
- Rogers?
- I'm not going to say, you know.
- You know me.
- Robertson?
That cunt. I knew it.
I knew I shouldn't have
fucking gone to her last year.
It wasn't anyone.
Eric, you know what it was?
It was bad luck, and that's all it was.
Yup.
Yup.
All right, well, good luck.
Will?
Come here.
I was just in the middle
of a lot of shit right here
to take a look at.
Eric, listen,
they're telling us
everybody needs to get out of here.
And while we appreciate your concern,
this is not your problem anymore.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Right this way, Mr. Murphy.
- Eric, I'm very sorry.
- Yeah.
Did they say what was going
to happen with us?
- Jesus, Seth.
- What?
around here for a while.
But, you know, you guys will be all right.
- Good luck, Eric.
- All right.
I'll see you around, okay?
All right. Thank you.
Eric.
I wanted to say thanks.
- It's not necessary.
- Well, it is.
You were the person around here that I...
I know.
Hey, look,
