Dominic reveals that he knows about his wife and Massimo's indiscretion; after NYL's near miss with the Irish bank, Dominic feels he cannot trust Massimo and suspends him as head of trading.

Massimo discovers that the secret dossier hides a liquidity recycling scheme between NYL and a big German bank, used by Dominic to implement an intercontinental plot to preserve the dollar's hegemony.

Determined to stop Dominic, Massimo forms an unlikely alliance with Subterranea to hack NYL's servers in his search for "smoking gun" evidence of Dominic's plans.
