Germany is about to surrender.

Your Communist Party membership card.

Now, we need these men,

to give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

a few things that General Groves told me not to.

that I should have reported this incident at once.

He transferred me to London.

(rousing music playing)

SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought

Teller's not helping.

Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth?

In your opinion, would he ever consciously

Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer.

they'll have to send you a copy.

ROBB: On the day of each bombing?

His conclusions are valid testimony,

I'd like to investigate that idea.

...give you a medal.

what they said to each other that day,

candor is the only remedy.

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

but there's nothing new here.

and they never forgave Robert for not supporting

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

(muffled distant rumbling)

"God doesn't play dice."

is about knowing how to get things done.

would you care to make a statement?

Raining, blowing, lightning.

But it will be thousands.

(chuckles) About the only thing

(indistinct chatter)

Their gravity swallows light.

(students laughing)

"based upon years of study

This is yours, not mine.

we will give them our advice.

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

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

Everybody out. Now!

I can make the last train back to Princeton.

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi,

And base camp is ten miles south, here.

Everything, even light.

Did we brief him on that?

extra neutrons boil off,

KISTIAKOWSKY: Everybody out.

-There's just one problem. -Where?

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

(indistinct chatter)

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

Wait, are we saying there's a chance

This weather, has it reached the site?

In a great number of cases,

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

Yes, my father was one.

And if the truth is catastrophic?

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

Because she had indicated a great desire

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

The field's not in use anymore.

We were in a race against the Nazis.

BORDEN: "...atomic energy, intelligence

This is a national emergency.

to the arsenals of a warring world,

Everybody will go crazy.

How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?

Lawrence, academics have rights too.

because of his commitment to security

(voice quivering): Well, we've...

...it won't be for you.

What was that? What did you say to him?

from embedding itself in a mudbank.

did you reach certain conclusions?

is having a discussion group tonight. Interested?

ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel

Oh. (chuckling)

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

You can answer that any way you wish.

each capable of killing the other

It's a new world.

in discussions of the Super?

Not as risky as dropping one over Japan

(cheering and applauding)

(brooding music playing)

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

Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical.

the development of the hydrogen bomb?

but I have to stay in Washington.

Point taken. But, no.

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

(continues breathing heavily)

Not that I enjoy.

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

It's not about the book.

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

A brief would be an overstatement.

then the day will come when people will curse

And failing a security check is not gonna be good

Not in the department.

Hard enough to spend the next four years

What's next? Arms talks.

with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier,

-(suspenseful music playing) -(rain pattering)

But whoever did unleashed a firestorm

or is the crowning moment of my career

uh, a couple of unexpected holdouts.

EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

Let's get some sleep.

So proud of what you have accomplished.

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

"that more probably than not,

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

that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer,

Do you or do you not believe

I was lost and he was kind.

KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you?

Conversation ended there.

"that he volunteered information to the Soviets.

that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

-that I'm happy. -(chuckles)

A lowly shoe salesman.

Do I have to make an appointment?

that burned a path from the White House

I can't help but imagine what it will be

These men aren't stupid.

(speaking indistinctly)

Or someone else, at the AEC?

You're spread too thin.

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

But I know the Nazis can't.

Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese.

but such speculation seem to us,

We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.

an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima...

A V-2 rocket headed to England.

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

So we're about to fire a dud?

by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb.

I did, I had to, really.

of raising expectations

-Come on! -Hang on.

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

What brings you two up north?

Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um,

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month?

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

(music intensifying)

ROBERT: He may not be wrong.

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

I have to get back to America.

I have access to your security file.

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

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

It seems pretty favorable.

General Groves.

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?

We're not in court, sir.

to my country when hearing this case.

with farm laborers and dock workers?

(cheering continues)

(scattered applause)

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

(intriguing music playing)

Mai karu bhai Kuch nai karsakta

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

-with them in Pasadena. -(sighs)

Even though you brought quantum physics to America.

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

In the event both could be done.

Now, in front of the entire country,

connected by rail.

has been plagued from the start

Yes, that's right.

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

Now that's power.

You don't have time to meet.

would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today?

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

And this would be your office.

At that time, I couldn't,

That was six years ago.

Henry Luce is a friend.

(knock at door)

and he wasn't always patient with us mere mortals.

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

What about Lomanitz?

They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism.

(thunder rumbling)

I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party

ROBERT: We're good, Ruthie.

Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.

to confirm a safe operating distance.

It cuts both ways.

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

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

I hear you got a little town.

-FERMI: Oppie. -Dr. Fermi.

Just then, I was entirely consumed

SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee

-about the Chevalier incident? -(scoffs)

And it didn't concern you?

outside Santa Fe. (inhales)

What are you working on?

I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary.

and a second to show that we can keep doing this

Your Q clearance came through.

Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.

from one single device.

We had our revolution.

Richard never found out.

Admin, librarians, computation.

ROBERT: We can make our determination there.

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

ROBERT: Yes, but, uh,

except in the context of my life and my work.

BORDEN: I have one in front of me.

-was it not? -After hours of discussion

Me explaining to bro’s gf how we are brothers but still touch each other

(chuckles) How hard?

How surprising.

(up-tempo music continues)

at 10,000 yards

Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

A peace based on the kind of international cooperation

and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation.

(faint pensive music continues)

I'm president of Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan.

If atomic weapons are to be added

his "father of the bomb" reputation.

Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably.

you had yesterday in which I'm very interested.

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

as much damage as the Tokyo bombings.

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

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

World War II would be over.

Stop my body passing through yours.

Seriously, keep it out of the lab.

Fine. What about after?
