uh, a couple of unexpected holdouts.

Everybody out. Now!

BORDEN: "...atomic energy, intelligence

Do you or do you not believe

I can make the last train back to Princeton.

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

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

Not in the department.

(cheering and applauding)

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

would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today?

This is a national emergency.

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?

We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.

I have to get back to America.

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

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

And failing a security check is not gonna be good

Now, in front of the entire country,

but there's nothing new here.

extra neutrons boil off,

We're not in court, sir.

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

is having a discussion group tonight. Interested?

to my country when hearing this case.

outside Santa Fe. (inhales)

"based upon years of study

Point taken. But, no.

Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical.

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

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

(chuckles) About the only thing

-about the Chevalier incident? -(scoffs)

ROBERT: We can make our determination there.

At that time, I couldn't,

we will give them our advice.

How surprising.

(scattered applause)

Lawrence, academics have rights too.

He transferred me to London.

(faint pensive music continues)

I was lost and he was kind.

to confirm a safe operating distance.

Oh. (chuckling)

This weather, has it reached the site?

That was six years ago.

Wait, are we saying there's a chance

Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um,

Yes, my father was one.

Their gravity swallows light.

If atomic weapons are to be added

and they never forgave Robert for not supporting

It seems pretty favorable.

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

with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier,

A peace based on the kind of international cooperation

(intriguing music playing)

-FERMI: Oppie. -Dr. Fermi.

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

Not that I enjoy.

General Groves.

But whoever did unleashed a firestorm

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

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

candor is the only remedy.

from embedding itself in a mudbank.

And if the truth is catastrophic?

We had our revolution.

What about Lomanitz?

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

(students laughing)

"God doesn't play dice."

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

Or someone else, at the AEC?

What brings you two up north?

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

Raining, blowing, lightning.

would you care to make a statement?

(chuckles) How hard?

then the day will come when people will curse

-Come on! -Hang on.

ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel

that burned a path from the White House

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

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

Even though you brought quantum physics to America.

ROBERT: He may not be wrong.

Not as risky as dropping one over Japan

But I know the Nazis can't.

to give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

World War II would be over.

Teller's not helping.

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

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

Henry Luce is a friend.

Richard never found out.

(cheering continues)

Now, we need these men,

ROBERT: Yes, but, uh,

but such speculation seem to us,

It cuts both ways.

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

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

a few things that General Groves told me not to.

at 10,000 yards

"that he volunteered information to the Soviets.

is about knowing how to get things done.

Admin, librarians, computation.

Fine. What about after?

Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably.

to the arsenals of a warring world,

-(suspenseful music playing) -(rain pattering)

-There's just one problem. -Where?

has been plagued from the start

because of his commitment to security

Mai karu bhai Kuch nai karsakta

Germany is about to surrender.

And it didn't concern you?

It's not about the book.

You don't have time to meet.

I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary.

ROBB: On the day of each bombing?

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

Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.

SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought

you had yesterday in which I'm very interested.

A lowly shoe salesman.

Your Communist Party membership card.

his "father of the bomb" reputation.

(brooding music playing)

but I have to stay in Washington.

(indistinct chatter)

-was it not? -After hours of discussion

that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer,

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

So proud of what you have accomplished.

What's next? Arms talks.

We were in a race against the Nazis.

Seriously, keep it out of the lab.

The field's not in use anymore.

But it will be thousands.

Did we brief him on that?

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

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

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

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi,

And base camp is ten miles south, here.

So we're about to fire a dud?

I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party

In the event both could be done.

It's a new world.

the development of the hydrogen bomb?

Conversation ended there.

that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

or is the crowning moment of my career

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

except in the context of my life and my work.

of raising expectations

Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer.

and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation.

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month?

from one single device.

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

How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?

connected by rail.

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

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

EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

ROBERT: We're good, Ruthie.

I have access to your security file.

what they said to each other that day,

What are you working on?

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

Do I have to make an appointment?

(knock at door)

Now that's power.

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

Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese.

You're spread too thin.

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

Everything, even light.

I did, I had to, really.

His conclusions are valid testimony,

...it won't be for you.

(indistinct chatter)

as much damage as the Tokyo bombings.

KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you?

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

by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb.

Hard enough to spend the next four years

A V-2 rocket headed to England.

(up-tempo music continues)

They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism.

(speaking indistinctly)

SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee

"that more probably than not,

I hear you got a little town.

What was that? What did you say to him?

Everybody will go crazy.

with farm laborers and dock workers?

Let's get some sleep.

(rousing music playing)

Yes, that's right.

each capable of killing the other

and a second to show that we can keep doing this

In a great number of cases,

Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.

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

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

BORDEN: I have one in front of me.

(thunder rumbling)

Stop my body passing through yours.

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

in discussions of the Super?

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

And this would be your office.

These men aren't stupid.

that I should have reported this incident at once.

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

I can't help but imagine what it will be

In your opinion, would he ever consciously

Your Q clearance came through.

...give you a medal.

did you reach certain conclusions?

I'd like to investigate that idea.

You can answer that any way you wish.

(continues breathing heavily)

-that I'm happy. -(chuckles)

they'll have to send you a copy.

Just then, I was entirely consumed

an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima...

Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

KISTIAKOWSKY: Everybody out.

(muffled distant rumbling)

This is yours, not mine.

A brief would be an overstatement.

Because she had indicated a great desire

Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth?

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

(music intensifying)

-with them in Pasadena. -(sighs)
