about what's happening here?

Birth control is a little out of my jurisdiction, General.

to understand what I'd started.

Can we please? The implosion device is nowhere.

Well. Good day.

I'm saying it would be prudent.

and needing certainty.

Eighteen years ago.

How could it be both?

on bringing on your brother Frank,

I didn't. I was chair of the AEC,

The, uh, Japanese spoke of people who wore striped clothing

I can't believe it.

(rousing music continues)

'Cause I don't like your phrase.

but I was there.

from becoming part of the atomic world.

ROBB: And yet, after the war,

is disloyal to the United States?

It was you on the cover of Time.

What is this doing?

-They can be discreet. -I don't like it.

Shouldn't you go to him?

If you could just be a little more...

A Yank, lecturing on the new physics?

Well, they'll-they'll put everything they have and...

Long enough to have forgotten.

-(Robert chuckles) -(chuckles) That's him.

about this size.

I'm starting to see where you got your reputation.

Increasing gravity.

This year, we've had ten a month.

What can I tell them?

Who are they bringing in?

Compartmentalization is the key to maintaining security...

He convinced Lawrence

This is first-hand.

and stop being so goddamn naive.

ROBB: Under current AEC guidelines,

Compartmentalization is the protocol we agreed to.

-(birds chirping) -(rooster crowing)

I'd like to bring my brother here.

that you did your duty, painful though it was.

Who'd want to justify their whole life?

Twenty minutes.

I just wish we had it in time to use against the Germans.

What more do you want?

Well, as chairman of the AEC,

Strauss knows that you can't do that,

on who on the team could be trusted?

Lane: and now I have become SPX-00025116

Well, since we're going to need one anyway,

That's why I asked him to run the Institute,

Why would you think I'd do that?

to wear like a fuckin' crown.

Well, here we are.

Criticality, a point of no return,

then we've gotta get going.

We're going to Chicago tomorrow.

MORRISON: But how do we justify

This is ridiculous.

which can't impact people's lives.

LOMANITZ: Okay.

just as it had with the atomic bomb.

But if we announce it and it fails to go off,

Informing him of our breakthrough

The views I have to express are my own,

Do people need a reason to do the right thing?

While I'm there next week, I'll drop in to see him.

-I did. -And did there come a time

Stalin hoped we'd use it against Japan.

If it's truth, where's the disclosure?

Because Robert never had anything to do

Also, my wife and I honeymooned there.

about an arms race with the Soviets.

between 1947 and 1954 to change your mind

Great, then gather the fucking press.

Would you please be so kind as to read it, sir?

BETHE: No. No, no, no. No.

It was chilling,

Our nation's best scientists working together.

uh, if I were on the commission.

I won't take up too much of your time.

We've been waiting for so long.

but more useful than a sandwich.

about organized labor on campuses, yes?

No, plane's too risky.

But if that furnace cools...

I have a wife and child.

-No, he hates me, not America. -You know, General,

(somber music playing)

She was undergoing psychiatric treatment.

We've all read his file here.

MARSHALL: If a Russian bomb is inevitable,

The math says it can.

You once held a-a reception for me.

Everybody take a welder's glass.

John F. Kennedy.

I was trying to put it

you will look back on your work here with pride.

Dr. Oppenheimer is a man of upstanding character.

Teller's calculations can't be right.

I was gone by the time

He seemed more focused on heavy water.

Now, if we can enrich these amounts,

Useless in the lab.

-Is he wrong? -No.

-Uh, I'm not. -Oh, not yet.

and not a chemical reaction.

these isotopes could be useful to our enemies

And we could issue a warning to reduce civilian casualties.

Any moral scruples about that?

Call it gallows humor.

Wasn't security tight?

It'll need a school, stores, a church.

You're a politician now, Robert.

They hadn't said.

-Oppenheimer finally offered it up. -Gone?

-Ah. -By remote control.

Or the Chevalier incident?

Oppenheimer wanted to own the atomic bomb.

And in the weeks and years that followed?

Hitler called quantum physics "Jewish science."

-Is that... -ROBERT: Mrs. Serber, yes.

Let's go recruit some scientists.

Thereby revealing its existence.

Fuchs, head down.

I told you, Robert, no more fucking flowers.

It's not that simple, Hoke.

Yeah, but it's a door closing.

-She's kidding. -(Kitty chuckles)

left-wing political activities.

We were together.

He can't prove a goddamn thing.

Because I was an idiot.

You write up an indictment

One student? That's it?

That's not the particular interest that I have.

Hill is in the afternoon.

-I can't tell you. -Why not?

I came in for plenty of harsh treatment.

Because if it can put us ahead again,

Yes. Come and see.

our work here will ensure a peace mankind has never seen.

and I know what it means for the Nazis to have a bomb.

I'll have to consult my lawyers, Lewis.

Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer.

if what you say about the Soviets is true,

How could this man who saw so much be so blind?

LAWRENCE: You shouldn't let them bring up politics

but how was I supposed to protect him?

(chanting stops)

largely through the animus of Lewis Strauss.

ROBB: Colonel Pash, could you please read

-I don't know. -The Nazis have them.

-(Rabi chuckles) -Nice to meet you.

-(laughter) -'Kay.

(scoffs) You don't get to say "no" to me.

"J. Robert Oppenheimer is an agent of the Soviet Union.

Joe got himself killed

(chuckles softly) Ouch.

Uh, my assumption is that

ROBERT: Progress?

(stomping stops)

(glass shattering)

So you have the job now?

...before the Nazis do.

-Schvitzer. -Schvitzer?

We've signed up chemists, we've signed up engineers,

will have made that leap instantly.

Frank, tell them all, 5:30.

Do you know when the Soviets are gonna have the bomb?

Well, the purpose of this institute

When I came to you with those calculations,

Would you have been in support of the dropping
