On the eve of another
independence day,

Let us all remember

The price of the freedom
we enjoy.

Along with those who have made
the ultimate sacrifice,

113 local boys
are unaccounted for
in the pacific theater.

They include private james
daryl of bloomfield.

Private stuart danforth
of bloomfield.

Lance corporal
francis r. Peabody.

Private hugo bunker.

Corporal george higgins.
Private first class--

Son of a bitch.

That's got to be north.

Right?

They said it would be
just like cambridge.

Harvard with sand.

Daddy's offer still stands.

- It's a good job, charles.
- It's a sales job.

God forbid.

You'd think a phd
was a vow of poverty.

You know, business
is a science.

The recruiter said I could
be the next enrico fermi.

He's like the betty grable
of physics.

Well, no one
ever heard of him.

Think of anyone heard
of galileo in 1590?

I bet galileo knew
how to read a road map.

Yeah, that's north.

Joey, come on.

Stay in the car.

- Next car, move up.
- Honey, stay in the car, okay?

Excuse me.
Hi.

The circus in town?

Just where is
everybody going?

Po box 1663.

- What's the place called?
- It ain't.

No name,
no street signs.

Welcome to nowhere.

All right.

Charlie, this doesn't
look like cambridge.

You can't work in your office like
everybody else?

Our group's
on the chopping block

And you're out till dawn
playing putt-putt
in the desert.

What makes
a golf ball fly?

Compression.
The club hits the ball,

The rubber
core compresses,
the ball sails.

We're not talking
about rubber.

We're talking about
solid metal.

Tnt yields pressures
of 100,000 atmospheres.

We can supercompress
the core of the bomb.

Higher density,
less plutonium.

Oh, you son
of a bitch.

Someone invented
pie crust in a box?

How is that not on the cover
of "the new york times"?

The computers will need
to stay all night.

And we'll need
some equipment.

Some ibm machines
for the hydrodynamics.

I'll be right back.

So is this all
you got for corn?

Yeah, we're cleared out
for the 4th of July.

Shipment's due from
el paso next Tuesday.

We can't grow
our own corn
on the hill?

You know the indians
have been planting maize
out here for 5,000 years.

Army policy.
The ground's no good.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Rangeland soil
is full of potassium.

Ma'am, I'm sure your husband's
got a brain the size of kansas,

But that ring on your finger
doesn't make you a scientist.

No, four years at barnard

And a phd in botany do.

I missed dinner.

And breakfast.

You know, most women
would kill for a night off
from their husbands.

Most women know what their
husbands do at the office.

I'm not most women.

You certainly are not.

You've had a good night.

I'll be home later.

I promise.

This line gets
longer every day.

Got your pass?

Colonel's clamping down
on security.

Probably got the mps
going through our trash
at night.

Here we go.
Thank you.

- All right, thank you.
- Okay.

Would it kill you
to say thank you?

We need to start
from scratch.

We'll rebuild the math
from the ground up.

And we'll need
a bigger staff, glen--
like 15, 20 guys.

- Where the hell are you going?
- I'm gonna run it upstairs.

No, whoa.
Hey, whoa.

You can't just waltz
into oppenheimer's office

With some chicken scratches
on a cocktail napkin.

- Morning, gentlemen.
- Hey, good morning.

Akley, he wipes his ass
and calls it a design.

Army writes him a check
with six zeros.

Reed akley shaves
every day.

The only thing cleaner
than his face is his math.

Well, it's too clean.

There's something wrong
with akley's bomb.

Forget thin man, okay?
Forget akley.

100 american kids
have been buried

Since the last time
we walked through that gate.

By tomorrow morning,
there'll be 100 more.

And you want me
to slow down?

Of course not.

We've spent six months
in the woodshed

Living off table scraps.

We both know our design
is better than akley's.

But if you go in there
to persuade oppenheimer
half-cocked,

It's finished.

- Was that frank winter?
- Yeah.

I submitted my thesis to
the princeton physics journal
when he was the editor.

Six peer reviewers
backed it for publication.

- He rejected it.
- Well, don't take it
personally.

He probably didn't
even read it.

He work
for dr. Akley too?

No.

No, he's got a band
of misfits working on
an alternate design.

Design for what?

Forget winter's group.

They're the farm league,
charlie.

You're joining
the new york yankees.

The white badge
is your key to the castle.

Only scientists
and army brass get them.

Steno girls are
allowed in the building,
but they don't know squat.

Gis barely know
what state they're in.

They all read
your paper.

Passed it around
like a tijuana bible.

You're looking at the best
equipped lab in the country.

Two van de graaff accelerators,
our own cyclotron,

And the finest computers
money can buy.

Computers, this is
the youngest buck who
ever won the forbes prize.

Say hello
to charlie isaacs.

Hi, charlie.

No lying down
on the job, girls.

We'll need you
to answer some questions.

Everybody on the project's
got to have security clearance.

What is the project?
They still haven't told me.

I'll leave that
to dr. Akley once
we have your commitment.

How do I know
what I'm committing to?

Charlie.

This is shangri-la.

We've got the highest combined
iq of any town in america

And more jews than babylon.

You'll be wined and dined
by the us army

Until hitler
and the japs say uncle.

Who knows how long
that'll be?

Well, that all
depends on us.

Say oppenheimer picks
akley's design over ours.

It's still possible
they'll keep us around,
right, as a backup plan?

If a career falls
in the desert and there's
no one there to hear it,

Does it make a sound?

Frank will figure
something out.

Oh, come on.
We're wasting our time.

Akley's got a staff
of 600 on thin man.

We've got six chaps.
One of them's a girl.

You're late!

This was yesterday.

This is tomorrow.

Now, the math here is simple.
Only one variable matters.

Time.

It's gonna take a year
to produce enough plutonium
to make akley's bomb.

But with
a supercompressed core,

I think we can shave
a week off that timeline,
maybe longer.

Now, the army
still hasn't decided

Which design
they're gonna back yet,

But they're going to
any day now,

And before they do,
we need to prove how much time

Our model
is gonna save them.

And oppenheimer is leaving
for dc tomorrow.

So if we want to keep
this group intact,

We're gonna have to get
some hard numbers in his hands

Before he gets
on that plane.

Yeah, we're gonna miss
dinner again, aren't we?

- Fritz.
- So we're gonna scrap three months of work

For the chance that we can
save the army one week?

Somewhere in germany,
hitler's got a town
just like this one

Full of scientists
hungrier than you.

That week we save
could be the week
that matters.

- Yoo-hoo. Hello.

We're not snooping.

Hello.

We're the welcome wagon.

This is fay and dot
and I'm rose akley.

- Abby.
- Her husband is your
husband's boss.

Oh! Oh, um--

Technically reed is
your husband's boss's boss.

But we don't stand on
ceremony, do we, ladies?

Thin walls.

She's built like a sparrow.

You think she's packed

What church are you?
Lutheran? Methodist?

Physicist.

Charlie's god
is albert einstein.

You're lucky
with a toddler.

They ration the indians.

You'll jump straight
to the front of the line.

Just watch out
the help doesn't smoke
your husband's peace pipe.

Don't tell my walter.

If the men can keep
secrets, we're entitled
to a few of our own.

What do you mean?

Oh, you know, what they do
behind their fences.

What are the men
building?

I hear they're building
submarines and floating
them down the rio grande.

Fay!

They look like
little convicts.

Head lice.

- What was that?
- You're gonna love it
here, really.

Supercompression.
Why didn't I think of that?

'cause frank's smarter
than you by a factor of 14.

Not that it matters.
Akley's gonna win the war.

He'll probably win
the nobel prize.

We'll still be
crunching numbers.

Here, look at this.

Crosley, fedowitz,
liao, meeks, prins,
you need to come with us.

If this is about
the colonel's horse, I had
nothing to do with it.

Recognize this?
Came out of your
file cabinet.

There's pages missing.

Somebody better call
interpol.

You familiar with
the espionage act?

Whoever lawfully
or unlawfully having
access to

Or being entrusted with
any document--

Whoa, whoa.
Espionage?

No more wisecracks?

You hear the one
about the chink in
the electric chair?

- What the hell's going on?
- That's what we'd like
to find out, sir.

We believe a member of your
group is stealing secrets.

Get out.

Dr. Winter, g-2 has credible
intelligence that one--

All I've seen from the g-2
is an incredible lack
of intelligence.

They haven't even
told you what you're
doing here, have they?

Do you have any idea
what you are looking at?

Sir, we're not here
to debate science.

That's not science.

That's the property
of the government of the
United States of america.

Our work is so classified,

The vice president
doesn't know we exist.

As far as he's concerned,
the manhattan project

Is a leaky tunnel
on the irt.

And yet you're gonna stand
there, sergeant first class,

With your j-3
security clearance

And you're gonna talk
to me about protocol?

You could be court-martialed
for just opening that file.

This isn't finished.

- I don't have time
for this shit.

And neither do you,
not today.

- You're crooked.
- Oh.

Thank you.

Dr. Akley.

"a new approach
to nuclear cosmology."

I wish I'd written it.

I have not seen real bourbon
since pearl harbor.

Well, I got friends
in high places.

It's called
a signing bonus.

Charlie isaacs,

Tell me why you're here.

Sir?

You drove 2,000 miles.

You uprooted
your family to a state

With more
cattle than people.

What do you want?

To serve my country.
I tried to enlist.

Flat feet.

Yeah, well, I think
we can put your skills
to better use.

We're waging a war
of ideas.

Now, this war will be fought
on the battlefield,

But make no mistake
that peace will be won
with brains, not brawn.

Now, forget about
code breaking.

Forget about
meteorology, optics--

You're building
an atomic bomb.

We prefer to call it
a gadget.

I walk most of the new boys
through the math,

They still don't see it.

I was told I'd be
working in a radar lab.

Well, I'm sorry for
the smoke and mirrors.

We can't exactly
advertise.

Dean everett at harvard

Says you're the quickest
study he's seen in years.

He also says you want
to help your people.

I understand you have
family in poland.

A bomb like that--
gadget--

The burn radius
would be miles wide.

The gamma rays alone
would be--

Charlie, charlie,
charlie.

You can grow old and die
writing white papers

On field quantization.

100 savants
will read your work,

Maybe 10
will understand it.

Or you can join my team

And you can watch
the apple fall with newton.

Go home.
Go have dinner
with your wife.

We need to finish
running these numbers.

Leave that
to the peanut gallery.

I mean it.
If this job kills you,

Liza is gonna kill me.

You're not gonna believe this.
The water went out again.

They better fix it
before tomorrow.

July 4th.

Frank, half the hill
is gonna be in our backyard

And you know how
they like to drink.

This is not
the best week.

Well, I didn't
set the date.

Take it up with
thomas jefferson.

Frank.

Did you know people
like to socialize on
independence day?

They like to stand
around in the backyard
and eat grilled meats

And listen to
john philip sousa.
Gracias.

And tomorrow,
for one night,

We're going to pretend
we have a normal life.

You in the kitchen is
the definition of abnormal.

But in the spirit
of independence--

- No.
- No what?

No, you can't go
to school in new york.

But new york is the center
of the world.

Yes, it is.

The world of cigarettes
and premarital sex.

Apparently, callie has
sent in an application
to the chapin school.

Dad, anna roosevelt
went there.

They have state-of-the-art
science labs,

It's right next door
to the metropolitan museum.

Seven million people
live in new york.

It's the most densely
populated city in america.

Right on
the eastern seaboard.

And?

And the army
would never let you go.

So I'm just supposed to stay
here in this prison camp?

Get knocked up
by one of the guards?

Oh, don't be vulgar.

Why are we even here?

Everything is a secret!

It's kafkaesque!

Well, at least
she's reading.

We've been
working forever.

Barely made a dent.
These are for you.

What's the over-under
on how much time we'll
shave off thin man?

I got a mars bar
that says 10 days.

You honestly think we're
gonna outflank reed akley

And a staff of 600
by 10 days?

No, honestly, I think
we're gonna beat them by 20,

But I'm spineless,
so my money's on 10.

Honestly, my money's
on it doesn't matter

'cause we're never gonna
finish by morning.

Here.

Whoa.
Nylons?

Yeah, he steals them
from the storage annex.

What the hell do you want
with ladies' nylons?

- They're rationed.
- And?

Girls love them.
Girls can't get 'em.

I spread the wealth,
they spread their legs.

We need reinforcements.

We've got to have
the calculations by tomorrow.

- You are our only hope.
- We're punched out
for the night.

We can pay you.

Crosley.

- Great.
- All right.

Oh, great.
Fantastic.

Thank you.

Hi, my name's fritz.

That's for you.
Hi. Fritz.

Hi, you can
call me fritz.

I give up.

This chrysanthemum,
it's supposed to be white.

So it's a hybrid.

Did you know

That we're not allowed
to grow produce on the hill?

Must be something
to do with the soil.

Well, sometimes a flower
is just a flower.

Don't go and work.

Well, I have to finish
some things.

What things?

When it's over,
we will go anywhere
you want.

We'll find a desert island,
play adam and eve.

Good night.

- Watch it, buddy.

- Get out of the way!

Abby?

Charlie, what on earth?
It's this one.

This one.
Come inside.

I was about to call
the police,

But, you know, there's no
telephone in this place.

Shh.

This is daddy's brand.
You can't get this anymore.

You can if your work's
got triple-a priority.

Shh!
Are you drunk?

- Oh, shit.

- Charlie?

It's the whole street.

You know how many people
live in berlin?

Men, women, kids?

I wrote a letter
to my father.

I said you'd think
about his offer.

Oh, jesus, abby.
This is what I am.

You are a loving
father to our son.

And you are
my handsome husband.

Take off your nightgown.

Charlie.

Joey's out cold.
He won't hear us.

It's not joey
I'm worried about.

Oh, give them something
to put in our fbi file.

Hmm?

- Hmm?

Come on.

No! No!

Whatever it is, frank,
you can tell me.

I can't.

Does the ringing
in your ears increase
with stress?

No.

Some of the men find it helpful
to speak with the chaplain.

And they're not
all religious.

We give chloral hydrate
for sleep disorders.

I can write you
a script.

But if you'll take
a word of advice--

I'll take the pills.

Nothing to worry about.

This wind's gonna blow us
all the way to kansas.

There's no place
like home.

How many drunken
physicists

Do you reckon we can
cram into that shack?

Lo siento.

Let's take it inside.

- There we go, right there.

Whoa.

Mommy, my head itches.

I'm tired.

We need copies
for oppenheimer so he
can sell it in dc.

Where are we
on the numbers?

Still at it
and we're running
out of nylons.

All right, let's go.
Outside, right now.

Leave everything
where it is.

Touch nothing.

I'll get it.

What the hell
is going on?

They're arresting
bill timchak.

Some files turned up
in his dorm room.

- They can do that?
- All right, let's move.

They've got tanks.
They can do whatever
they like.

Colonel's
collecting scalps.

Word is he's just
getting started.

Don't tell me.
They arrested the computers.

Frank, I made
a mistake.

I, uh...

I screwed up.

I swear to god
I am not a spy.
You know me.

It's the x-ray studies.

You said it was
my best work.

What the hell
did you do?

I've got a kid
back in oakland.

Gracie.

She's sick and her meds
cost a fortune.

I just thought
when we all go back home,
I could sell the patents.

They're gonna
figure that out.

You got to
help me out, frank.

Talk to the colonel.
Explain why I took 'em.

You stole secrets
from the United States army.

You really think
the colonel's gonna stick
around for a chitchat?

So what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna burn them.

They can't touch you
if they don't have proof.

You got to get
me transferred.
Send me to chicago.

Or site x.
Christ, frank,
I've got a family.

Then act like it!
You want to protect them?

You go out there
and do your goddamn job
like the rest of us.

- Two, one.

Colonel cox
wants to see you.

I'm not holding
office hours today.

Now.

This can't be right.
Did you remember
to check the--

It's right.

One of your boys stole classified files.
I'd like a name.

So you can stick him in a hole
till the end of the war?

I have a brother
in the 4th marine raiders

In the solomon islands
who wants to come home
to his family.

I knew nine men
on the uss arizona who
won't get that chance.

Our enemy crawled out
of a cave on the other
side of this earth

And attacked us on our own soil,
and they'll do it again.

We will not hand
them the tools.

There's a leak in this lab.

Someone's been smuggling
tactical schematics
off the hill.

There is no spy
in my group.

You think
bill timchak was a spy?

He's an example.
We live in a world
of consequences.

Must be lonely out there
in the boondocks.

No resources,
no recognition
for your group.

We're not here
for the recognition.

I got a shipment in
this morning.

10 state-of-the-art
ibm machines.

You think I'd horse-trade
a member of my own team?

Paucos immolamus
ad servandos multos.

We sacrifice the few
to save the many.

- 12 days?
- 12 weeks!

Hey, dolores.
I just need two minutes
of his time.

Dr. Oppenheimer
doesn't have an opening
until the 18th.

- It'll just take--
- it'll have to wait
till he's back from dc.

He's already down
in the car.

- I'll ride with him.
That'll do.
- No, frank.

- Thanks, dolores.
- Frank, there's--

We can cut 12 weeks
off akley's timeline.

I thought we were
going to the airport.

Lamy train depot.

General's seen
fit to ground me.

It's too dangerous to fly.
Isn't that right, tommy?

It's very touching,
their concern
for my health.

It's been road-tested
and triple-checked, robert.

If you'll just give me
some ibm machines

And 30 more men,

I can have the hydrodynamics
worked out in the next month.

This country,
the valles caldera...

We call it a desert,
but it's a crematorium.

The mesas, all of it--
fallout from a volcano

That exploded a million
and a half years ago.

Someday it'll detonate again,
and everything you see

Will be buried.

Just a question of time.

There are forces
beyond our control.

The United States army
is one of them.

Your group's going
to be dissolved, frank.

What?

We're building
akley's bomb.

- The ship has sailed.
- Well, turn it around.

This war chews up
four american kids
every hour.

I just handed you
8,000 lives.

Man is made
by his belief.

As he believes,
so he is.

The army believes
in the thin man.

I don't give a shit
about the army.

That's your mistake.

Tommy.

What about you, robert?

What do you believe?

I believe the world
is on fire.

And thin man's
our chance to put it out.

You'll report
directly to akley.

Hey!

Hey, wait!
That's my equipment.

Glen, what the hell
is this?

Got my dishonorable
discharge.

Colonel's shipping me
off-site.

No. We'll go
over his head.

It's not just me.

It's the whole group.

I'll call
the secretary of war.

I'll tell him our work
is vital to the success
of this project.

Frank.
Frank.

You were the best
student I ever had.

And you know

That I would back you
to the edge of the earth.

But I think we just
fell off it.

Abby, what the hell did
you do to joey's hair?

They are reading
our mail.

- What?
- All the children
have head lice

And they are reading
our mail.

He's three years old.
He can barely read his name.

I mailed this yesterday.
A private letter

From me to my father
and they made notes
in the margin.

- Who did?
- I don't know who.

- Spies, the army,
I don't know.
- Abigail.

This place, these people,
they are all crazy.

- We cannot--
I will not stay.
- You're hysterical.

I can't even tell him
where we live.

I can't even tell him
that our house is painted green.

It'll take
some adjustment,
that's all.

No, we are going back
to brookline and we can
stay with my parents.

No, we are not
going anywhere!

Listen to me.
This is our home.

I made a commitment.
It is done.

We're here till
the end of the war.

Shit.

It's the altitude.

Charlie, please,
why in god's name
would we stay here?

Okay.

What I'm about
to tell you

Is highly classified.

Hey, how are we doing?
Coming through.

Oh! Sorry.

I knew you wouldn't
let a little wind
spoil your party.

We'll make a housewife
out of you yet, liza winter.

I look forward
to that, rose.

Where's your husband?

I'm afraid that's above
my security clearance.

Excuse me.

Take it through there.

I finally get used
to the desert air,

Then they send
me off to site w

To study the effects
of alpha particles

On salmon reproduction.

Fish sex.

Well, it beats
the chickasaw
ordnance works.

They're shipping my ass
off to tennessee.

I told my mother
I got a promotion.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Pace yourself there,
seabiscuit.

Jesus, this is
a 15-year-old scotch.

The man of the hour.

Hello, ladies.
How are you?

Where have you been?

I have half
the phds in america

Eating canapés
in our front room.

Get rid of them.

What?

Cancel the party.

Did something
happen at work?

Work is fine.

We made a deal
when we came here.

I would never ask
you questions

Unless I absolutely
needed answers

And you would
never lie to me.

And I haven't.

Frank.

Do you remember
when I presented
that paper

On the purple orchid?

Orchis mascula.

It lives on
three continents.

Sun or shade,

From Spain
to siberia,

It can survive
almost anywhere.

But it can't
survive alone.

It's got a partner.

It attaches itself
to the roots of the orchid.

It's called
a mycorrhiza.

And they make up
their own little
ecosystem.

If you cut off
that communication,

The orchid
just shuts down.

We had our own
ecosystem.

The two of us.

You're not a flower.

We're not talking
about me, frank.

I'm protecting
our family.

From what?

I hear you all
had fun last night.

Your husband must
be important to rate
a place on snob hollow.

I'd live in a wigwam
if it would help them
build it any faster.

Build what?

Your husband
told you something.

- Oh...
- Well, don't hold out.

They call it the gadget.

It's a very complicated
radar system

That can spot one
of hitler's warplanes

From the other side
of the world.

There's no telling
how many lives they're
going to save.

Conclusive proof,

Orientals cannot
hold their drink.

All right,
why don't you sit
this one out, buddy?

You people, you got
your heads in the sand.

- You send your kids
to school right next to it.
- Shh, shh!

- Lie to your wives about it.

You don't like fireworks?

Bombs bursting in air?
Nah, not much.

You read a paper of mine.

"new approach
to nuclear cosmology."

- Right.
- Your approach wasn't...

New.

The judges
of the forbes prize
didn't see a problem.

They wouldn't.

You know, after you
rejected my paper,

I read everything
you ever published.

You'll do fine.

You're akley's
new toy, right?

Can I ask you something?

What about the next war?

What happens
when stalin's got one?

China?

The shah of iran.

You know the story
of the golem?

A rabbi wanted to protect
the jews of prague,

So he built an automaton
out of mud,

Brought it to life.

First the golem
kills the enemies
of the jews.

Then it turns
on jews themselves.

See, he couldn't
control it.

He'd built
frankenstein's monster.

You been
to prague lately?

There aren't
any jews left.

There's something
I need to tell you.

Whoo, happy fourth!

We're building a weapon.

It's not like any weapon
the world's ever seen.

It draws its energy
from a fast-neutron
chain reaction.

It releases the power
of an ancient star.

If it works,

And it's going to work,

It'll be more destructive
than all the bombs

Dropped in all the wars
in history put together.

It'll bring armies
to their knees.

Cities will disappear
in the blink of an eye.

The world will be
united in peace

By the most just
and noble country
in the history of mankind.

Or it will burn
to the ground.

Whoever builds it first,

That's the endgame.

So it has to be us.

Whatever it costs.

No entiendo.
