Everything, even light.

Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.

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

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

And if the truth is catastrophic?

A V-2 rocket headed to England.

would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today?

at 10,000 yards

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

-FERMI: Oppie. -Dr. Fermi.

Now, in front of the entire country,

World War II would be over.

At that time, I couldn't,

we will give them our advice.

And failing a security check is not gonna be good

It cuts both ways.

Lawrence, academics have rights too.

(scattered applause)

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

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

And this would be your office.

Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

Did we brief him on that?

-Come on! -Hang on.

It's a new world.

But it will be thousands.

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

that burned a path from the White House

EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

"God doesn't play dice."

(music intensifying)

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

We're not in court, sir.

Do I have to make an appointment?

KISTIAKOWSKY: Everybody out.

Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um,

from embedding itself in a mudbank.

to give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

Everybody out. Now!

You're spread too thin.

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?

candor is the only remedy.

(chuckles) How hard?

the development of the hydrogen bomb?

"that he volunteered information to the Soviets.

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

I hear you got a little town.

-(suspenseful music playing) -(rain pattering)

And base camp is ten miles south, here.

what they said to each other that day,

BORDEN: "...atomic energy, intelligence

We were in a race against the Nazis.

Yes, that's right.

Your Communist Party membership card.

I can't help but imagine what it will be

as much damage as the Tokyo bombings.

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

a few things that General Groves told me not to.

Richard never found out.

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

ROBERT: Yes, but, uh,

then the day will come when people will curse

would not prove a bar to my working on the atomic program.

-that I'm happy. -(chuckles)

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

Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer.

ROBERT: We're good, Ruthie.

You can answer that any way you wish.

except in the context of my life and my work.

(intriguing music playing)

you had yesterday in which I'm very interested.

...give you a medal.

This is yours, not mine.

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

to confirm a safe operating distance.

I have access to your security file.

(cheering continues)

each capable of killing the other

and a second to show that we can keep doing this

Not as risky as dropping one over Japan

of raising expectations

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

Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical.

to my country when hearing this case.

Germany is about to surrender.

Now, we need these men,

(cheering and applauding)

Yes, my father was one.

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

but there's nothing new here.

...it won't be for you.

Let's get some sleep.

Oh. (chuckling)

Wait, are we saying there's a chance

uh, a couple of unexpected holdouts.

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

In the event both could be done.

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

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

ROBERT: We can make our determination there.

that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

This weather, has it reached the site?

(speaking indistinctly)

in discussions of the Super?

What was that? What did you say to him?

I did, I had to, really.

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

How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?

with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier,

The field's not in use anymore.

and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation.

Raining, blowing, lightning.

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

A brief would be an overstatement.

Do you or do you not believe

Admin, librarians, computation.

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

Teller's not helping.

Not that I enjoy.

Just then, I was entirely consumed

Henry Luce is a friend.

-There's just one problem. -Where?

Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.

but such speculation seem to us,

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

(faint pensive music continues)

connected by rail.

(brooding music playing)

(indistinct chatter)

Seriously, keep it out of the lab.

or is the crowning moment of my career

It seems pretty favorable.

Everybody will go crazy.

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

to the arsenals of a warring world,

That was six years ago.

(up-tempo music continues)

It's not about the book.

Because she had indicated a great desire

So we're about to fire a dud?

(rousing music playing)

What about Lomanitz?

Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably.

Now that's power.

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

but I have to stay in Washington.

Conversation ended there.

What are you working on?

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

that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer,

an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima...

These men aren't stupid.

Fine. What about after?

and they never forgave Robert for not supporting

A peace based on the kind of international cooperation

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

did you reach certain conclusions?

How surprising.

Your Q clearance came through.

But I know the Nazis can't.

Even though you brought quantum physics to America.

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

by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb.

Their gravity swallows light.

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

They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism.

And it didn't concern you?

Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth?

is about knowing how to get things done.

that I should have reported this incident at once.

Not in the department.

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

I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary.

is having a discussion group tonight. Interested?

with farm laborers and dock workers?

ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel

Point taken. But, no.

would you care to make a statement?

Hard enough to spend the next four years

A lowly shoe salesman.

his "father of the bomb" reputation.

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

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

Stop my body passing through yours.

We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.

You don't have time to meet.

(thunder rumbling)

(knock at door)

I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party

We had our revolution.

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

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month?

because of his commitment to security

-was it not? -After hours of discussion

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

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

He transferred me to London.

I have to get back to America.

I can make the last train back to Princeton.

What brings you two up north?

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

His conclusions are valid testimony,

-with them in Pasadena. -(sighs)

ROBERT: He may not be wrong.

Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese.

(indistinct chatter)

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

"based upon years of study

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

they'll have to send you a copy.

Mai karu bhai Kuch nai karsakta

General Groves.

Or someone else, at the AEC?

(muffled distant rumbling)

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

outside Santa Fe. (inhales)

If atomic weapons are to be added

I was lost and he was kind.

(students laughing)

-about the Chevalier incident? -(scoffs)

from one single device.

SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought

What's next? Arms talks.

SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee

extra neutrons boil off,

has been plagued from the start

(chuckles) About the only thing

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

"that more probably than not,

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

BORDEN: I have one in front of me.

This is a national emergency.

But whoever did unleashed a firestorm

KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you?

I'd like to investigate that idea.

(continues breathing heavily)

In your opinion, would he ever consciously

ROBB: On the day of each bombing?

In a great number of cases,

So proud of what you have accomplished.

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi,
