So proud of what you have accomplished.

It's a new world.

a few things that General Groves told me not to.

World War II would be over.

but there's nothing new here.

with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier,

Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably.

he just said to tell you to "bring in the sheets."

Richard never found out.

Do I have to make an appointment?

If you want to try that case, you should try me.

And this would be your office.

So we're about to fire a dud?

an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima...

ROBERT: We can make our determination there.

Can you get the name of the scientist they've called?

-that I'm happy. -(chuckles)

(indistinct chatter)

I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party

"God doesn't play dice."

would you care to make a statement?

Einstein's opened the door, now we are peering through,

(intriguing music playing)

That was six years ago.

(continues breathing heavily)

uh, a couple of unexpected holdouts.

But once people start hearing what you can do with it...

A V-2 rocket headed to England.

I'm gonna go see if there's any stars.

-ROBERT: Oh, pleasure. -Please, please.

Stop my body passing through yours.

Their gravity swallows light.

At that time, I couldn't,

Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.

ROBB: On the day of each bombing?

We had our revolution.

A brief would be an overstatement.

I was lost and he was kind.

but such speculation seem to us,

It's my business to stop it from going through illegally.

ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel

You never thought of studying physics formally, Mr. Strauss?

And it didn't concern you?

Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer.

or is the crowning moment of my career

It cuts both ways.

But I know the Nazis can't.

Now, in front of the entire country,

(students laughing)

Raining, blowing, lightning.

-was it not? -After hours of discussion

How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?

(brooding music playing)

-(suspenseful music playing) -(rain pattering)

ROBB: Well, then you knew, did you not, that by dropping

I'd like to investigate that idea.

that burned a path from the White House

What was that? What did you say to him?

Not as risky as dropping one over Japan

was the need for an H-bomb program, yes.

But I'll bet the Japanese didn't like it.

Point taken. But, no.

you had yesterday in which I'm very interested.

to give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

Germany is about to surrender.

Not in the department.

I can make the last train back to Princeton.

A peace based on the kind of international cooperation

Teller's not helping.

Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese.

I won't live my life afraid to make a mistake.

We're not in court, sir.

"based upon years of study

(music intensifying)

And if the truth is catastrophic?

(muffled distant rumbling)

But whoever did unleashed a firestorm

at 10,000 yards

What are you working on?

Not that I enjoy.

STRAUSS: And how many people were in these, uh,

outside Santa Fe. (inhales)

Your Q clearance came through.

we will give them our advice.

Lawrence, academics have rights too.

candor is the only remedy.

and they never forgave Robert for not supporting

that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer,

Do you or do you not believe

to my country when hearing this case.

His conclusions are valid testimony,

We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.

and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation.

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month?

the development of the hydrogen bomb?

and there's getting on with it, so pick one.

This is a national emergency.

In a great number of cases,

and a second to show that we can keep doing this

SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought

I have to get back to America.

(chuckles) How hard?

Everybody will go crazy.

I have access to your security file.

Oh. (chuckling)

This weather, has it reached the site?

ROBERT: He may not be wrong.

BORDEN: "...atomic energy, intelligence

(cheering continues)

Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um,

that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

I did, I had to, really.

How surprising.

with farm laborers and dock workers?

Everything, even light.

-with them in Pasadena. -(sighs)

KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you?

I can't help but imagine what it will be

People hounded out of jobs for any hint of red. And then,

did you reach certain conclusions?

I'll be out there doing what I can, but you...

It seems pretty favorable.

I hear you got a little town.

It's not about the book.

Now that's power.

except in the context of my life and my work.

If atomic weapons are to be added

In the event both could be done.

But they won't fear it until they understand it,

I think we should get back to first-hand information.

They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism.

Wait, are we saying there's a chance

-There's just one problem. -Where?

Even though you brought quantum physics to America.

And it is also alleged to have helped end the war.

...give you a medal.

Hard enough to spend the next four years

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi,

Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical.

Because she had indicated a great desire

Well, there's not much common ground between you two.

Admin, librarians, computation.

The field's not in use anymore.

He transferred me to London.

Yes, that's right.

And base camp is ten miles south, here.

SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee

Did we brief him on that?

ROBERT: After Göttingen, I moved on to Leiden in Holland

Seriously, keep it out of the lab.

(cheering and applauding)

"that more probably than not,

KISTIAKOWSKY: Everybody out.

-about the Chevalier incident? -(scoffs)

Lewis, do you understand, if we build a hydrogen bomb,

I-I've had nothing to do with Communism in... since...

You don't have time to meet.

(indistinct chatter)

I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary.

-Come on! -Hang on.

Or someone else, at the AEC?

A lowly shoe salesman.

In your opinion, would he ever consciously

Fine. What about after?

Misrepre... It-it was 12 years ago.

Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth?

It's a weapon of attack with no defensive value.

This is yours, not mine.

And failing a security check is not gonna be good

(knock at door)

Just then, I was entirely consumed

EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

You can answer that any way you wish.

You're spread too thin.

Conversation ended there.

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

-FERMI: Oppie. -Dr. Fermi.

Uh, "J. Robert Oppenheimer, Strauss fought..."

then the day will come when people will curse

-220,000 dead at least? -ROBERT: Yes.

(up-tempo music continues)

the purpose of this letter is to state..."

But we're the only people who know about it.

And you're a physicist by training, Mr. Strauss?

but I have to stay in Washington.

-God, what's the matter? -(grunts softly)

Yes, my father was one.

(thunder rumbling)

We were in a race against the Nazis.

These men aren't stupid.

What's next? Arms talks.

ROBERT: Yes, but, uh,

Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.

ROBERT: We're good, Ruthie.

(speaking indistinctly)

would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today?

...it won't be for you.

What about Lomanitz?

-Sure. -No, for-for a while, Hoke.

Yeah, well, I didn't have all the facts, did I?
