Security officer at Berkeley's concerned about

You were commissioner

That you're teaching a radical new approach to physics

it's my humble opinion that there is no need

She was extremely unhappy.

Stimson is now telling me

ROBERT: How so?

what the results of the bombing are.

but this... (sighs)

(others exclaim)

(mutters indistinctly)

On a hydrogen bomb we're not even building.

that Oppenheimer was not interrogated

we've freely used the atomic bomb...

You know what, Generalissimo? I quit.

...these fission pulses, they're massive.

You don't have the clearance, Mr. Garrison.

Physics and New Mexico, huh? (chuckles)

As chairman, I wasn't allowed to be.

-If you talk a scientist in... -GROVES: The Manhattan Project

Take off that ridiculous uniform.

How open can we be with the Soviets?

"with one Jean Tatlock, Communist,

Well, I thought I'd better learn it

uh, going around official channels,

(mellow music playing)

And they're already security cleared.

There's been another screw-up. Lomanitz just got drafted.

Well, then kilotons.

Build him a town. Fast.

of other countries' physicists.

-Pardon? -I think you mean

international cooperation on (clears throat) atomic energy,

for nearly a mile around,

needs to know about it.

but I believe that much I have to say will help to indicate

Now I'm looking for a project director.

He promised to quit all that.

KISTIAKOWSKY: Yeah.

And there's a further observation post

Then look at the explosion

The Oppenheimer matter was

During the process...

I don't know what Oppenheimer said to him that day,

to have that conversation.

You've been misinformed.

Let's celebrate. (sighs)

Well, I hope you learned something.

What did he say?

All minds have to see the whole task

But there-there may have been

...our arguments against dropping it,

TELLER: We all entered this room

STRAUSS: Genius is no guarantee of wisdom.

And now I am Become Nick, the destroyer of Chevrons

for who knows how long? (chuckling)

You supported the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan.

He talked to a friend of his

ROBERT: "And now I am become Death.

why you didn't involve him in the Manhattan Project.

and if he could do it all over, he'd do it all the same.

(faint pensive music playing)

Well, I'm confronting you with it now, sir.

'Specially on a Friday. Come on, let's eat.

Wha... What do moral qualms

It's not the right use of our resources.

but I hadn't heard you're a Party member.

unless there's any immediate business.

I just thought you should know.

(Szilard scoffs)

-Oppie, please. -Well, there's rushing

and I am certain that he had no idea

for the security apparatus of this country,

to contribute efficiently.

(thunder rumbling)

-Not unless we start it. -STRAUSS: Robert.

I've seen 30 of these in the past ten minutes.

ROBB: Thanks, and do you have a copy of the letter?

A democratic republic being overthrown

Wanted to be close to you experimentalists.

But how would Borden have access to Oppenheimer's security file?

when you appointed him?

I have my reasons.

In fact, this might be a moment to consider other opinions.

I am here to update you on our progress

(breathing heavily)

What 'bout the radiation cloud?

Enough to find the perfect spot.

CONGRESSMAN: But, Dr. Oppenheimer,

How could Borden get access to Oppenheimer's FBI file?

My awareness of the danger would be greater today.

(somber music fading out)

that he's loyal to the United States.

ROBERT: Fermi's in the meeting.

you then argued against the use of it? (laughs)

You get any skinnier, we're gonna lose you

they're gonna put me back in my place.

To be remembered for Trinity,

PASH: Instead of us going on certain steps,

And you thought Pash would be satisfied with that?

"Straws" is just the Southern pronunciation.

-Why? Why? -Well, you can't talk to...

completely out of government.

that we're furnished with a list of witnesses.

Would you say that Dr. Oppenheimer was

And what stops the glass?

Well, in the days when I was a member,

turns out he was...

Oh, don't be a smart ass. You know damn well what it is.

Your friend Lomanitz has been trying

Well, out of the lab, my landlady

You see them in there, right?

to channel your energies into progress?

Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie!

Can't you see it everywhere else?

that now threatens our survival.

Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie!

(tense music playing)

I'll send a message.

(Kitty breathing heavily)

Unstable, theatrical, egotistical, neurotic...

SENATOR McGEE: The Oppenheimer situation

I don't think I should be subject

from your memo dated June 29, 1943?

That's a mistake, Robert.

who thought they'd get a say in how we used their work,

-Lawrence is in the meeting. -They're not you.

And the world is not prepared.

"Just as it had with the atomic bomb," exactly!

Dr. Oppenheimer? Hi. William Borden.

I hope I didn't lead anyone to believe otherwise

One might be led to the presumption

(discussion continues indistinctly)

Well, brilliance is taken for granted

-I don't think so. -(chuckles)

Do them yourself while I go to Princeton.

I wanted to give you a heads-up on a...

would you say that you exerted a great influence

we have voted two to one

Dr. Oppenheimer.

(crowd cheering)

Well, I-I think you're all being too goddamn gentlemanly.

it was connected to his, uh,

The Russians don't.

He was devastated

(unsettling music playing)

(sentimental music playing)

Over here! Mr. Strauss!

But the Japanese fight on.

That's not the point, Lawrence.

Hadn't liked your answer.

Don't let them slow us down, we're firing on the 15th.

Right now, they're scattered.

Your invention let us bring our boys home.

and many of your current and former colleagues,

trying to find the name of the intermediary?

That's why I'm considering it.

How could you possibly know that?

I had a little trouble.

Because it made him

Do you know who else the prosecution has called?

This way. This is where I keep the good stuff.

You drop in and out of my life,

who also disagreed with Oppenheimer's positions

Einstein published his Theory of Relativity

Well, you could.

(soft music plays)

Mr. President, the-the Russians have good physicists

(people murmur)

whether you can build a hydrogen bomb.

It's just it was all so very long ago,

MAN (on speaker): Thirty seconds.

(greets in Italian)

President Eisenhower has asked you to be in his cabinet.

Oh, funny, I didn't till you just said that.

"through Communist Party channels," don't you?

until I see very conclusive proof to the opposite.

i feel that i have blood on my hands

Tolman thinks you have integrity,

I've been asking for calculations

Well, I couldn't answer that one.

You need to stop playing the martyr.

Yes. Once I built it.

from a spy at Los Alamos,

-ROBERT: Oh, yeah? -CHEVALIER: Yeah.

that Robert Oppenheimer is now being

Whose... Whose work is this?

-You supported it! -What do you mean "support"?

Remind me, who are we at war with?

No, no, no. I...

Did you like it better yesterday?

Put the mattress underneath.

But today, that pride must be tempered

Could they be working on one already?

Gentlemen, if I... if I seem uncooperative,

But you can't tell us what you're doing?
