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

What about Lomanitz?

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

outside Santa Fe. (inhales)

World War II would be over.

What brings you two up north?

Lawrence, academics have rights too.

He transferred me to London.

And it didn't concern you?

-There's just one problem. -Where?

to the arsenals of a warring world,

that I should have reported this incident at once.

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

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

Not as risky as dropping one over Japan

I have to get back to America.

(thunder rumbling)

Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.

And base camp is ten miles south, here.

But whoever did unleashed a firestorm

KISTIAKOWSKY: Everybody out.

I'd like to investigate that idea.

-Come on! -Hang on.

ROBB: On the day of each bombing?

It's not about the book.

that burned a path from the White House

Now that's power.

Your Communist Party membership card.

and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation.

(brooding music playing)

Oh. (chuckling)

That was six years ago.

And if the truth is catastrophic?

A lowly shoe salesman.

uh, a couple of unexpected holdouts.

is about knowing how to get things done.

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

would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today?

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

SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought

EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

Did we brief him on that?

We were in a race against the Nazis.

extra neutrons boil off,

Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

(knock at door)

...it won't be for you.

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

Or someone else, at the AEC?

(rousing music playing)

How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?

(indistinct chatter)

Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer.

but such speculation seem to us,

the development of the hydrogen bomb?

Teller's not helping.

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

and they never forgave Robert for not supporting

"that more probably than not,

What was that? What did you say to him?

We're not in court, sir.

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

would you care to make a statement?

-that I'm happy. -(chuckles)

Even though you brought quantum physics to America.

(cheering and applauding)

...give you a medal.

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

Everything, even light.

Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth?

(scattered applause)

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

you had yesterday in which I'm very interested.

what they said to each other that day,

"based upon years of study

with farm laborers and dock workers?

-(suspenseful music playing) -(rain pattering)

The field's not in use anymore.

At that time, I couldn't,

You're spread too thin.

-with them in Pasadena. -(sighs)

(faint pensive music continues)

You don't have time to meet.

What's next? Arms talks.

Your Q clearance came through.

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

So proud of what you have accomplished.

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

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

but there's nothing new here.

General Groves.

Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese.

And failing a security check is not gonna be good

Yes, that's right.

I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party

Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um,

or is the crowning moment of my career

In your opinion, would he ever consciously

Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably.

each capable of killing the other

(chuckles) How hard?

Raining, blowing, lightning.

It's a new world.

an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima...

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?

ROBERT: We can make our determination there.

And this would be your office.

In a great number of cases,

Seriously, keep it out of the lab.

We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.

Now, in front of the entire country,

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

(indistinct chatter)

"that he volunteered information to the Soviets.

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

Fine. What about after?

It cuts both ways.

then the day will come when people will curse

connected by rail.

in discussions of the Super?

Not that I enjoy.

(continues breathing heavily)

I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary.

This is a national emergency.

(up-tempo music continues)

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

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

(students laughing)

as much damage as the Tokyo bombings.

to confirm a safe operating distance.

-FERMI: Oppie. -Dr. Fermi.

Now, we need these men,

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

Do I have to make an appointment?

SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee

His conclusions are valid testimony,

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

Stop my body passing through yours.

A brief would be an overstatement.

did you reach certain conclusions?

we will give them our advice.

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

they'll have to send you a copy.

is having a discussion group tonight. Interested?

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

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

I have access to your security file.

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

Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.

(speaking indistinctly)

They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism.

but I have to stay in Washington.

that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer,

Their gravity swallows light.

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

I did, I had to, really.

by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb.

-was it not? -After hours of discussion

This weather, has it reached the site?

"God doesn't play dice."

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

has been plagued from the start

These men aren't stupid.

Because she had indicated a great desire

to my country when hearing this case.

Everybody out. Now!

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month?

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

Point taken. But, no.

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

Richard never found out.

Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical.

I was lost and he was kind.

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

Not in the department.

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi,

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

A V-2 rocket headed to England.

that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

We had our revolution.

How surprising.

(music intensifying)

to give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

Let's get some sleep.

KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you?

So we're about to fire a dud?

from one single device.

Yes, my father was one.

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

This is yours, not mine.

Admin, librarians, computation.

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

What are you working on?

because of his commitment to security

ROBERT: He may not be wrong.

Everybody will go crazy.

from embedding itself in a mudbank.

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

I hear you got a little town.

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

at 10,000 yards

I can make the last train back to Princeton.

a few things that General Groves told me not to.

But it will be thousands.

BORDEN: "...atomic energy, intelligence

ROBERT: Yes, but, uh,

In the event both could be done.

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

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

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

Wait, are we saying there's a chance

ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel

But I know the Nazis can't.

You can answer that any way you wish.

(cheering continues)

Mai karu bhai Kuch nai karsakta

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

Henry Luce is a friend.

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

Hard enough to spend the next four years

of raising expectations

Germany is about to surrender.

Do you or do you not believe

(intriguing music playing)

ROBERT: We're good, Ruthie.

A peace based on the kind of international cooperation

and a second to show that we can keep doing this

BORDEN: I have one in front of me.

with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier,

I can't help but imagine what it will be

-about the Chevalier incident? -(scoffs)

candor is the only remedy.

(chuckles) About the only thing

except in the context of my life and my work.

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

It seems pretty favorable.

If atomic weapons are to be added

(muffled distant rumbling)

Conversation ended there.

Just then, I was entirely consumed

his "father of the bomb" reputation.
