Prometheus stole fire from to gods and bestowed upon men
And for this he was chained to a rock.โ And torture him forever
Dr. Oppenheimer
First: nuclear fission.
Dr. Oppenheimer
In the beginning I think you have A statement that you would like to read for the record
Yes, Your Honor
We are not judges, Doctor - No
.naturally
O members of the Security Council
Allegedly derogatory information ...in your indictment against me
..cannot be understood fairly
.except in the context of my life and work
How long did he testify?
Second: fusion.
Honestly, I don't remember
The whole hearing took a month
What suffering
I only read the statement
Who wants to justify their whole life? Weren't you ready?
As the president was not I am allowed to attend
Are they really going to ask me?
This happened years ago ...four years ago
Five years
America remains divided over the Oppenheimer issue
The committee will want to know Which side did you stand on
Senator Thurmond asked me to... I say you are not ready for the interrogation
Funny, I wasn't .so I just said this
(True, Mr. Strauss He called me admiral
Admiral (Strauss). It's just a formality
President Eisenhower asked you. To be in his cabinet
The Senate does not .choice but to validate you
What if they bring up Oppenheimer?
When they bring up the subject of Oppenheimer, You must answer truthfully
No council member can The elders denied that you did your duty
.it will be uncomfortable
Who would want to justify their whole life?
Why did you leave the United States?
I wanted to study new physics sciences
Wasn't the physics education department here?
I thought Berkeley had a department A pioneer for teaching theoretical physics
.Okay. I joined it after I built it
.but I had to go to Europe first
I attended Cambridge University to study Supervised by Patrick Blackett
Was I happier than I was in America?
Happiest? Yes
..No no. I
I was overwhelmed with longing for the homeland
...emotionally unstable
.disturbed by visions of a hidden universe
.you were useless in the lab
God, Oppenheimer
Was you sleeping?
.start again
Sir, I want to go to the lecture
Why?
It's a Niels Bohr lecture
Damn, I totally forgot
.Good. Let's go
No, you won't come, Oppenheimer
You have to finish painting those chips
do you see her
Don't forget to clean your place!
"potassium cyanide"
Quantum physics is not a step forward
It is a new way of understanding reality
Einstein opened the door And now we're peeping through it
We see a world within our world
A world full of energy and contradictions that not everyone can accept
.Yes offcourse
are you OK?
Nils, I introduce you to J. Robert Oppenheimer.
What is the abbreviation for "c"?
.nothing it seems
.I was at my lecture You have asked the only valid question
No one doubts his acumen
.But its laboratory performance is slightly unsatisfactory
I heard you gave the same lecture At Harvard, yeah
And that you asked the same question
Why ask again?
I did not like your answer
Did you like my answer yesterday?
.a lot
You must be prepared for an attack .snake while lifting the rock
Now it looks like you're ready
But don't enjoy the lab?
So he left Cambridge with her beakers and potions
Go to a place where they let you think
where?
"Gรถttingen"
(Bourne)? (Born
Go to Germany Studying under the supervision of (Max Born).
.Learn the methods of theory
.I will address him
.she is obsessed
How is your math?
Not good enough .for one who wants to be a physicist
Algebra is like a piece of music
What matters is, "Can you read music"?
Can you hear it?"
Can you hear the music, Robert?
.Yes, I can
"The Waste Land"
Senator from Wyoming
...Admiral Strauss
I would like to touch upon your relationship with Dr (J. Robert Oppenheimer)
Did you meet him in 1947?
.correct
You were a commissioner at the Atomic Energy Commission?
Yes, but I met Robert once ..I was a member of the board of directors
Institute for Advanced Studies ...at Princeton because...
After the war he became famous worldwide ...a great physicist and I was
Determined to appoint him as the director of the institute
Dr. Oppenheimer. we will be happy for your coming
Mr. Strauss
(He pronounces "(Strauss
(Oppenheimer), (Oppenheimer)
Whatever you pronounce, they know me as a Jew
I'm the boss of Temple Imano L in Manhattan
Strauss is just a southern term.
Anyway, welcome to the institute .I think you might be happy to be here
Yes, you will love the daily commute to work
Your residence is in that house ..it will suit you and your wife
And.. do you have two children?
Yes, two children
.I am a big fan of your work
Do you have a degree in physics, Mr. Strauss?
Sorry, tea is served at four o'clock
No, I do not have a degree in physics .or something like that, I'm a self-made man
I understand this situation Really?
Yes, my father was self-taught
.This will be your office
I heard he spends most .his afternoons there
I always wondered why not You relied on him on the Manhattan Project
He is the greatest scientist of our time
.in his time
Einstein published his theory of relativity .more than 40 years ago
But she never really embraced the world The quantity that you disclosed
"Nature does not accept possibilities."
.exactly
You never thought of studying physics Officially, Mr. Strauss?
I received offers, but I chose to sell shoes
It was Louis Strauss once A humble shoe seller
No, just a shoe salesman
I would like to introduce you to him - No need
I knew him for years
(Albert)
What is the matter?
what did you tell him?
.he is fine
Mr. Strauss, there are things in... My past you should be familiar with
As the head of the Atomic Energy Commission .then I can access your security file
.I have read it
Didn't you worry? - No
Why should I worry, after all you've done for your country?
Times are changing, Mr. Strauss
..the purpose of this institute
.is to provide a haven for independent minds
This applies to you You are the right man for the job
Then I will consider your offer
I'll see you at the Atomic Energy Commission meeting tomorrow
It is one of the most prestigious positions in the country
.with great mobility of course
That's why I'm thinking about it
So did the links catch your eye ...previous to Dr. Oppenheimer
before you hire him?
.Okay
Didn't you raise your concerns?
At that time I was busy ...just thinking about what he said
To (Einstein) to make him mad at me
But later?
We all know what happened next
Doctor, during your stay in Europe
Looks like you've met a large group of... Physicists from other countries
.Yes thats right
Have you met any Russian scientists?
.I do not remember
...if you will allow me to continue reading my statement
Mr. Rob, you will have opportunities to ask your questions
After "Gรถttingen", I moved to Leiden in the Netherlands.
Where I met (Isidor Rabi) for the first time
.Excuse me
American lecturing .new physics? I need to hear this
.I'm American too
.amazement
Let me know if you need any help .in English
Hey, what does he say?
.No thank you
It's a long drive to Zurich
If you don't eat anything during the flight .it will hide between the seat cushions of the slimness
(I am Rabbi
(Oppenheimer)
I attended your lecture on particles .I understood part of it
We're Jews from New York How good are you in the Dutch language?
I thought it would be best to learn it .when I enrolled here for the semester
I mastered the Dutch language in 6 weeks To receive a lecture on quantum mechanics?
.I wanted to challenge myself
Quantum physics wasn't challenging enough
Schweitzer "Schweitzer"?
.show off
I learned Dutch in six weeks But you didn't learn Yiddish?
They don't talk about it much .my area of โโthe park
How miserable you are
Are you homesick?
.that you know the answer
Have you ever felt like us Not welcome here?
Physicists?
Zarif I didn't notice this in the department
They are all Jews too
.all
There is a German you have to look out for
(Heisenberg - Right
It might lead one to suppose ..that beyond the quantum world
There is still a real world ..hiding in it causation, however
..such speculation seems to us
Quite frankly, unproductive
.Thank you all
.have a wonderful day
An amazing lecture .thank you
Dr. Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer, yes. I liked your article on molecules
.Maybe it inspires you
.If I inspired something else, let me know We can publish articles together
.I have to go back to America
Why?
Nobody here takes quantum mechanics seriously
.This is exactly why
He longs for the valleys of Manhattan
New Mexico Canyons
Are you from New Mexico?
No, from New York, but we have my brother and I A farm on the outskirts of Santa Fe
.This is the America I miss now
So you better get used to it Go home, cowherd
This is for him, as for me and the horses We are not getting along. I do not think so
.Pleased to meet you
Did you meet Heisenberg again?
..not personally, no, but
It can be said that we met by chance
On my return to America, I accepted two positions At Caltech and Berkeley
.I'll handle this, it's okay
radiation lab
I assume you're Dr. Lawrence?
You must be Oppenheimer
.Okay
I heard you want to give courses A study on quantum theory
.I did it. It's in the next room
Did they put you there?
I'm the one who asked for it. I wanted to stay .close to you experimentalists
.The theory will get you to a point
We are building a machine to accelerate electronics
.amazing
Do you want to help?
.in building it? no
No, my work is limited to analyzing theories
When will you start teaching?
.I'll start in an hour
Seminar?
.Pupil
one pupil? Only this?
I'm teaching something no one else here has ever dreamed of
But once they know Your scientific abilities
They will get more attracted
...i must have been wrong
Mr. Lumanitz? - No
.Okay
.Okay. this place. Help yourself
.Sit
What do you know about quantum mechanics?
.I understand the basics
So you are dealing with it wrong
Is light made of particles or waves?
Quantum mechanics says both How could it be both?
It is not possible It is not possible
, but be so. It's paradoxical .however it works
.now
.Thanks
Mr. Lumentez, don't worry
Mr. Snyder?
Now let's consider the star
a star. A big oven is burning ...in outer space
Fire rushes outward against its own gravity
.in balance
But if this oven cools down and I start .gravity beats, it shrinks
The density increases
.correct
Gravity increases
The density increases
And? ...it's even a vicious circle
What is the limit here?
.I don't know
Consider where mathematics is taking us
I'm sure it leads us to a point No one has ever accessed it before
What about me?
.yes, you did it You are better than me at math
Dr. Oppenheimer's file included. Details of his activities at Berkeley
Why did they create a file on Dr Oppenheimer before the war?
You should ask Mr. Hoover
I ask you, Admiral Strauss
..I suppose it has something to do with
His left-wing political activities
"Saturday, two o'clock in the evening." "Support for state Spain"
You must not allow them to speak About politics in class, Opie
.I wrote this
Lawrence, you embrace the revolution in physics.
Can't you see it somewhere else?
(Picasso), (Stravinsky), (Freud), (Marx)
This is America, Opie
We really witnessed a revolution
Seriously, get this out of the lab
My landlady is having an episode .tonight's discussion outside the lab
Are you interested?
I experienced the political scene in Berkeley
They are just graduate students Philosophy and communists talk about integration
So you don't care about integration
I would vote for him, not talk about him
Especially Friday gatherings
.let's eat
.I will meet my brother there
How can these activities be Attention FBI?
..to the best of my memory
The FBI was checking dashboards ...outside suspicious communist gatherings
And his name appeared
I caught you! Oh, my God
.sorry. Hi bro (- (Frank
You remember Jackie
.Good evening
.Let's go
.there, there
Robert, I want to introduce you to Chevalier.
(Dr. (Haakon Chevalier), Dr. (Robert Oppenheimer
Nice to meet you - Nice to meet you. This is my little brother Frank
..and this Hello
.(Still Jackie Hello, Still Jackie.
Chevalier, are you a linguist?)
Your reputation precedes you
What did you hear about me? Excuse me
...that you're studying a radical new approach to physics
Which I never understand but I didn't I hear you are a member of the party
I am not a member Not yet
Frank and I are thinking of joining.
...that day I was saying I support several reasons
Spanish Civil War?
Democratic Republic attacked by thugs Fascists, who wouldn't want to advocate?
.our government
They think socialism is greater .threat of fascism
This belief will not last for long Look what the Nazis do to the Jews
I provide financial support to my colleagues .in Germany for the purpose of immigration
.I have to do something
.My work is very abstract
What are you working on?
What happens to the stars when they die
Do the stars die?
Well, then the stars are dying
.It cools down and then collapses
Actually, the bigger the star His demise was even more violent
Gravity is so concentrated that it swallows everything
.everything, even the light
Could this actually happen?
.Mathematics says possible
If we publish it, maybe one day An astronomer will apply it practically
Now all that I offer is just a theory, which .can not affect people's lives
If you provide financial support to Spain I do it through the Communist Party
He can get money to the front lines
Mary asked me to provide this
(I am (Jane).
.(Robert)
(Haakon Chevalier)
You were at a union meeting at a house Cerber last month?
.right, yeah
.Thanks
.Robert says he's not a communist
So his information is not sufficient about communism
I have read all volumes The "three" capitalism.
Is it considered that my information is adequate?
It will make you a better reader .from most of the party members
Strict conclusions ..there are some thoughts you say
Possession is theft.
"personal property"
"Personal property"? โPersonal propertyโ is not โpossession.โ
Sorry, I read the book in its original German language
.Good
.It is not about the book
It's about ideas .and you look uncommitted
I am committed to thinking freely .in developing our world
Why restrict yourself to one faith?
You're a physicist, do you pick the rules?
Or use discipline to guide your energies towards progress?
.I tend to be a bit flexible
Do you always stick to the rules?
.I like flexibility too
What?
.hey, hey, hey
.unexpected
What?
.for a physicist
Do you only have Freud's books?
..in fact, I'm more inclined to
yang?
Do you understand analysis?
During my undergraduate studies at Cambridge .I faced a small problem
I am all ears
.I tried to poison my teacher
Did you hate?
.I liked him a lot
.that you just need to make love
I spent two years with psychoanalysts And I don't think they brought it up briefly
You want to convince everyone that you are more than that .complex than you really are
.I think we are just simple souls
.I'm not like this
What is this?
Sanskrit language
Can you read it?
.that I learn it
.read this
Well, in this part ..Vashnu reveals his fortified self
.no
Read the words
"And now I'm death."
"The Destroyer of Worlds"
.Camping here would be perfect
The sky will be clear before dawn
The air will cool at night And before dawn it will clear
.Let's go
.then I will get married
Congratulations, Frank Thank you. Thanks
Will you marry Jackie?
Yes, I'm marrying Jackie
.waitress
You're right, Opie. It clears
I'll go check if it is .there are no stars
..continue to talk about ordinary people
But you don't buy into Jackie, do you?
..we joined the party
I still don't agree. Why? ...now, me
Is it because this is supposed to belong to you?
I didn't join the party, Frank
And I don't think she should have convinced you of that either
Half of the teaching staff are communists
.not this half
I'm your brother, Frank .and I want you to be careful
.and I want to strangle you
.I will not live my life in fear of making mistakes
Your happiness is my happiness
So I am happy because your happiness is my happiness
Looks like I can see one of those .Dark stars you study on
.You can not. That's the whole point
Her gravity swallows the light
.like a space hole
Is Frank okay?
.Okay. He just has a terrible brother
The place is special here
, when I was a kid
..I thought if I could find a way
To combine physics and New Mexico
My life will be perfect
.a little far from it
.Okay
Let's get some sleep
That plateau we saw today .one of my favorite places in the world
And tomorrow we will ascend it
what is it called?
"Los Alamos"
.I wasn't expecting to see you today
Should I make an appointment?
Hey! Come back here
Alvarez)?)
!(Obi)! (obby)
What? What is the matter?
.they did it. They did it Hahn and Strassmann in Germany.
They are the two halves of the uranium nucleus
how?
They blew it up with neutrons
.It's nuclear fission
They did it, split the corn
.this is not possible
.I will try neutron diffusion
.you see? It can't be done
.Very stylish. very clear
There is only one problem
where?
Adjoining hall
Alvarez did it
But look, the fission pulses are massive
I've seen 30 of these .in the past ten minutes
.The theory will get you to a point
..during the operation
Flame neutrons can be used Excess fragmentation of other uranium atoms
.chain interactions
You are thinking what I am thinking
You, me, and every other physicist Around the world, watch the news
I.. what? What are we thinking?
Bomb, Alvarez
.bomb
I told you, Robert, no more flowers
I don't understand what you want from me I don't want anything from you
You say this and then you call me
Then don't answer the call
I will always reply
.Good
.just no more flowers
won't you come with me
You have to admit your loss, Robert
It's not that simple, Hook
Chevalier, good to see you.
Barbara, good to see you.
And the brilliant Dr. Oppenheimer
(I am Eltonton
I was honored - Go ahead
Now can you comment on Organized work on campus?
Make room! !" "F, A, E, C, T
I work for Shell We hire chemists and engineers
Why aren't there scientists? In academia?

!(Obi)! (Obi)! (obby)
.Thanks
Teachers affiliated with trade unions Why not the teachers?
Don't you have anything else to do?
Lawrence, academics have rights, too.
.Listen, it's not like that There is a group coming
.I will stay here
.not this time
.(Richard). Dr. Bush
Why did you come to the north?
Richard, tell Ruth that I... I'm going to Pasadena on Tuesday
Your article on the black hole has been published (Obi
Where's Heartland? Summon Heartland
September 1, 1939 The world will remember this day
Heartland, our article is published.
.that you stole the spotlight
Hitler invades Poland. "Victory or death for me."
Bombardment of cities, occupation of Danzig
, during the Battle of Britain ..I gradually lost empathy
about the policy of neutrality that The communists called for it
Right after Hitler invaded Russia ..and we became allies
Is your sympathy returned to the Communists?
.no
I want to clarify that disparity My views on Russia
Does not mean that there is a break with .Those who have different opinions
..for a year or two during my previous marriage
It was my wife (Kitty) .Member of the Communist Party
.from this direction This is where I keep the good stuff
I thought this was Tolman's house
I live with them while I'm at Caltech
Do you want something?
No, thanks, Ruthie
So you are a biologist
Somehow I became a housewife
Can you explain quantum mechanics to me?
You look baffled
.yeah, it is
..well, this cup
..this drink
...this is the table top
..our bodies
.everyone
It is mostly empty space
Just pools of energy waves .small linked together
with what?
...the force of attraction is strong enough to convince us
.that this material is solid
You prevent my body from passing through your body
That you're married to Dr. Harrison
.not exactly
...there is someone I feel for
Does she have the same feeling?
.sometimes. But not enough
You know, I'm going to New Mexico
.to my farm with my friends
.you have to come
.I mean with your husband
.yeah, i meant it
Because you know it won't make a difference
Why did you marry him?
.I was lost and he was so kind
Lost?
..my ex-husband died
I was 28 years old and did not I was ready to be a widow
Who was your first husband?
no one. But my second husband It was Joe Dallett
..he was from a rich family like me but
He was a union organizer in Youngstan .in Ohio. I fell in love with him
To what degree?
So much so that I spent four years ...on beans and pancakes
I hand out Daily Worker newspapers at the factory gates
At the age of thirty-six, I told Joe, I can't take it anymore.
I left the party a year later ..I wanted to go back to it, so
To him, not the Daily Worker
He said, "Honey, I'll meet you On my return to Spain
Went to fight for the loyalists?
Then he joined the Kataeb, and I waited
..And
Joe was killed as soon as he raised his head from the ditch
Ideology killed (Joe). In vain
The Spanish Republic is not "for nothing".
..my husband sacrificed our future
To prevent the fascist bullet from being It settles in a heap and mud
This is the definition of "in vain."
.sounds a little reductive
.realistic
Here I am
.wherever this place was
I don't want you to find out about this from anyone else
At least she didn't bring me flowers
We both know I'm not the one What you want, Jane
.yeah, but it's the end
.no
.Not if it's up to me, no
That you made her pregnant and acted quickly
Someone who is determined to succeed .exceeds obstacles
.I meant it
.I know what you want
What about her husband?
..we've talked
...they're going to get divorced
So that we can get married .before it appears to the public
What a civil act
.that you are an idiot
.This is your community
Do you think the rules don't apply to the brilliant?
.the sparkle makes up for a lot
Don't alienate lonely people .world who understand what you do
You may need them one day

Lumanitz, what do you get paid per month?
That's not the point, Lawrence
What is the common factor between you And between farmers and port workers?
Many factors
Everyone out! now
.you stay
What do you do?
.It is a trade union
.full of communists
.permission? I did not join the party
They won't let me put you in .project because of this nonsense
And they won't even let me tell you about the project
.I know what the project is
truly?
We've all heard of Einstein's letter ...and Szilard to President Roosevelt
They warn him that the Germans might build a bomb
I know what it means to possess .Nazis bomb
and I do not know?
It is not your people who fill the camps with them
My people
You think I will tell them about your policy
Next time when you come back ..to home from the meeting
Check your rearview mirror
And listen to your phone's noise Earth and stop being so naive
Why are they watching me?
Because you don't care about yourself You are important to everyone
.Good
.Good
.Understood
..if you could be more
.practically
...I'll talk to Lumantes and the others
.don't worry. Consider it done
.(Lawrence)
So welcome to the war
I completed my first security questionnaire ..and I was notified
To get involved with groups ...leftism will not be a problem
.to work in the Atomic Program
Why did they not consider his engagements Communism dangerous during the war?
Senator, I can't answer
Security clearance granted before Years of meeting Robert.
Good. What about after the war?
After the war, Dr. Oppenheimer was The most respected scientific voice in the world
.. That's why I asked him to run the institute
This is why I recommended it to the Atomic Energy Commission
.Simply
What do they accuse me of?
I think they just want to know What happened between 1947 and 1954
To change your mind about a permit Oppenheimer (security).
.I did not do that ..I was the head of the Atomic Energy Commission
But it wasn't me who directed it Charges to Robert
Who did it?
Former member of the Joint Congressional Committee
He was a very anti-communist named Borden
FBI recommended The Federal Reserve is taking action against him
Federal Bureau of Investigation? Why did not address the Atomic Energy Commission?
Why does one leave evidence of oneself?
Why does Borden hold a grudge against Oppenheimer?
It was during the McCarthy era
People lost their jobs because ...any hint of communism. and then
He read Oppenheimer's security file. ...and his communist brother and his brother's wife
.his fiancรฉe, best friend, and wife
That's even before the Chevalier incident
How did Borden gain access To Oppenheimer's security file?
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Because someone gave it to him.
Someone wanted to shut up Robert
Who? Who knows?
Robert didn't worry about an inconvenience Power brokers in Washington
His views on the atom were confirmed,
But he wasn't always patient .on mere mortals
.I received a lot of criticism
There was a vote in the body ..Atomic Energy
On the export of isotopes to Norway
And they recruited Robert to make me look like a fool
But, Dr. Oppenheimer, we've heard ...indeed from Admiral Strauss
Our enemies can take advantage of that .Isotopes in the production of atomic weapons
Hey members of congress, can take advantage of .The scoop of making atomic weapons. It really happens
A beer bottle can be used .in making atomic weapons. It really happens
I would say that isotopes are less utility of electronic components
.but more useful than a sandwich
Not every genius is wise
How can a man have experiences Many to be blind of insight?
kitty)?)
kitty)?)
..(kitty)
.I joined the project
.I joined
.let's celebrate
Shouldn't you check it out?
I've been checking on him all day
.come here my dear
.cant say
.ashamed of me to ask this
Don't be shy at all
Take care of Peter
.of course No, for a while, Hook
.for a period of time
Does Kitty know you're here?
.yeah, of course you know
.of course you know
We are horrible and selfish people
Forget that I asked
..the selfish and horrible people
They don't know that they are selfish and terrible
Sit down, sit down
Robert, you see beyond the world. .in which we live
You must bear the consequences of this
Of course we will help you
Everything changes, Robert
..Having children will always change
No, I mean the world .spinning in a new direction
.reshape it
.This is your moment
..we are forming a group for a feasibility study
It doesn't have to be "we" but "you".
Lawrence should not be involved in this
.or (Tolman) or (Raby). You will do it
Who are these soldiers?
.I thought you knew that
Dr. Oppenheimer
I am Colonel Groves This is Lieutenant Colonel Nichols
.Clean this jacket
If this is the way Your treatment of the provider
I hate to see the way you are treated For a humble physicist
.If I come across one, I'll let you know
All combat fronts ..around the world
But I have to stay in Washington
Why?
.I built the Pentagon
The chief officer liked it so much that they commissioned me Assuming management duties for the Manhattan Engineering District
What is it?
.don't be clever You know very well what it is
You and half the physicists in this country
This is the first problem
I thought that would be the first problem Securing enough uranium ore
On the day he took over 12 thousand tons are bought per day
Processing?
The project just launched Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Now I am looking for a project manager
Is my name among the candidates?
.no
Although you brought .Quantum Physics to America
.which piqued my curiosity
And what did you discover?
You're a passionate womanizer ...and suspected of communism
.I am a New Deal Democrat
I said, "Suspected."
..unstable, pretentious, selfish and nervous
No good qualities? "..not even "he's a genius though
Genius is self-evident in your midst. So no
The only person who praised you (He is Richard Tolman
Tolman thinks you have integrity
But what amazes me is that he is familiar With knowledge more than people
.with that you came to me You are not convinced of anything by virtue of trust
.I don't believe in anything by virtue of trust
Why don't you have a Nobel Prize?
Why aren't you a general?
I will be promoted for this
.Maybe I will be as lucky as you
They give you a Nobel Prize for making a bomb?
Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel
How will you proceed?
...that you're talking about conversion theory
...to a working weapon system
.faster than the Nazis
.who are 12 months ahead of us
Eighteen How did you know that?
Our quick search took about .neutrons six months
The world they definitely gave power to This search will be completed in a jiffy
And who gave him power in your opinion?
(Werner Heisenberg)
He is more of a physicist with an intuitive understanding .to the structure of the atom I've ever seen
Do you know his work?
I know him as well as I know Walter Bote. And (von Weizscher) and (Deebner).
If we compete with the Germans in a race .equal, they conquer us
But we have one hope
what is it?
Anti-Semitism
What?
Hitler called quantum physics a "Jewish science."
He said it to Einstein's face
Our only hope is that hate has blinded Hitler
So much so that he refused Heisenberg's resources. .appropriate, because it would require enormous resources
Our nation's best scientists work together
They are spread out now
This gives us the option to partition
A must see for all scholars .The whole task to contribute efficiently
Weak security questionnaire It may cost us the race
And the incompetence of some of course
The Germans know more than us
The Russians don't know
Remind me, who is our opponent in the war?
No one should be found out ..with your past and it diminishes
The importance of security from our communist allies
This seems reasonable. but not
โYou can't tell me no
My job is to say no .when you are wrong
Have you accepted the job yet?
.I will think about it
I'm beginning to understand where you earned your reputation
My favorite answer: "He won't Oppenheimer from selling hamburgers.
.I can't
But I can run the Manhattan Project
There is a way to achieve balance .between these things
I leave the radiation lab at Berkeley with Lawrence.
And the Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory (Under the supervision of Szilard
and extensive refining โWhere did you say exactly?โ โTennessee.โ
The Hanford website The Hanford website
America's industrial strength and scientific innovation They are linked by a railway
Focus on one goal
.One point in space and time .which is right here
.secret lab ..in the middle of a secluded place
..secure and self sufficient
.Supplier of equipment and houses .Keep everyone there until the project is finished
There must be a school .shops and a church
Why?
, if the scholars did not accompany their families We will not achieve a better result
If you want to secure this .You have to build a town and quickly
where?
Welcome to Los Alamos
Now there is a school for boys ...we have to put it away
And the indigenous people practiced Burial rituals in high places
Other than that, no one should exist 60 km in each direction
.enough to find the perfect place
for?
Mission success
They built a town for him. quickly
Let's recruit some scientists
Why do I leave my family?
I told you, you can bring your family
I'm not a soldier, Opie
.soldier? He's a general I don't need another soldier
What can I tell them
Heisenberg, Diebner, Boethe, and Bohr. What do they have in common?
The greatest scientists of the atomic theory
Yes, and after?
..whatever you want
.till you feel my shoes on your testicles
You know the isotopes, and you know the explosives .better than anyone in the world
But can't you tell us what you're doing?
.I don't know .They are with the Nazis
(Niels Bohr) in Copenhagen It's under Nazi occupation
Do they stop printing Newspapers in Princeton?
We did not go to an isolated place For a time that no one knows?
.for a year or two. or three years
General, will you give us a moment?
It's about unleashing power .severe before the Nazis did it
.Oh, my God
Niels will not work for the Nazis No, never
But he is with them, not with us .that's why I need you
Why do you think I would do this?
Why?
Perhaps because it is the most important thing that will happen .ever in the history of the world
What do you think of this?
.the curse
They won't let me join this project
Failing the security questionnaire hurts .professional even after the war
You are the companion of the road. Albeit?
This is a national emergency
I have my secrets and they put me down .in the position of responsibility
.they need us
.until they finish our need
Is there any chance of ejection Bohr from "Denmark"?
No, no chance .I discussed it with the British
...until we bring the allies back to the continent
There is no way to get him out
Is it that important?
How many people do you know Prove Einstein wrong?
You know, getting on a plane would be much faster
No, flying on planes is very risky
The country needs our services
Harvard scientists say that the building will not The atomic minute accelerator device
Take them to the architects
When is this place supposed to open?
.within two months
Robert, you're so good at improvisation, but this...
Your mind can't solve it
Four sections
Department of experiments, theories, mining and ammunition
Who runs the theory department?
.I
This is what I feared
You are wasting your effort
So you took charge of the theory department
I'm not coming here, Robert
Why not?
Bomb does not distinguish between the good .and evil when you drop it
..I do not wish the pinnacle of three centuries of physics
.to be a weapon of mass destruction
.(easy)
I don't know if it can .Trust us with a weapon like that
But I'm sure the Nazis They cannot be trusted
We have no other choice
..permission
The second thing you should do is Nomination of (Hans Bethe) to manage the theory department
Hey, what's the first thing?
.Take off this funny costume
.you are a scientist
Groves insists we join
Tell Groves to poop in his hat
They need us for what we are So act as you are
.only the better side
This is the only key
And Tyler has already arrived
Should I let him in?
No, let's wait for the others
.Let's Begin
Hello, Edward
.Okay
Gentlemen, we'll keep working here until Completed the theory department at Los Alamos
Edward, can I please...
.This is very important
, while calculating the chain reactions I found the prospect somewhat unsettling
.no
.But this cannot be true
Show me how you did your calculations
.Okay
.it is exponential No, no, no
.that's a fantasy
Teller's accounts cannot be correct
I do it again on the way to Princeton
For what purpose? To discuss it with Einstein
But there is no understanding .for views between you two
That's why I want his opinion
(Albert)
Dr. Oppenheimer
Do you know Dr. Goodell?
We walk here most days
Trees are the most inspiring structures
Albert, can I talk to you?)
Of course. Excuse me, Kurt
There are days when he refuses Kurt, eat.
Even at Princeton
Convinced that the Nazis could .poisoned his food
Who are these accounts for?
.(Tiller)
And what do you conclude from this?
Neutrons collide with the nucleus, and are released Neutrons to collide with other nuclei
Criticality, point of no return Huge explosive power
But this time The chain of interactions does not stop
Hence the ignition of the atmosphere
When we detonate an atomic bomb
...we might set off a chain reaction
.that destroy the world
Here we go back to doubts
..get lost in your quantum world of possibilities
.and you need certainty
Can you do the calculations yourself?
The only thing we have in common .is a disdain for mathematics
Who's working on this at Berkeley?
(Hans Bethe)
Well, he will get to the truth
And if the truth is catastrophic?
So stop
Share your findings .to it with the Nazis
.lest either side destroy the world
.(Robert)
This belongs to you, not to me
.Tyler) is wrong. he's wrong)
When you know Teller's crucial assumptions .Real pictures show
Conclusion?
Possibility of a nuclear reaction .wild close to zero
.close to zero
Opie, that's great news.
Can you recalculate? No, you will get the same answer
Until they detonate one of these
The best guarantee you will get .it is the result
.close to zero
.The theory will get you to a point
!Welcome
Hello Hello
We missed him
Do you want to adopt? .she's kidding
We wanted to see you before you left
.to an unknown destination
Do you know who I ran into that day?
.(Ellenton)
The chemist from "Shell"? union man?
Yeah. He's an F, A, E, C, T guy
He complained about our position in the war
From any direction?
.No cooperation with our allies
It appears that our government does not share research with the Russians
He said: โMost scholars believe That politics is stupid
Really? Yes
He said if anyone had ...something he wants to share
through official channels He can help
.that would be treason
.Yes of course
.I thought you should know
The brat fell asleep
Where's the "martini"?
.will be ready now
The conversation ended there
Nothing in our long friendship ..leads me to believe
That Chevalier was looking ..really for information
I'm sure he doesn't .any idea about the nature of my mission
I soon realized it was him I must report this incident immediately
Oppenheimer's position highlights ...on the tension between scholars
And the security apparatus
In order to know how the candidate dealt with such ...issues during his time in the Energy Authority
We will bring a scientist before the committee
Who will they summon?
They didn't mention
Mr. President, if you'll excuse me ..I have been nominated for the post of Minister of Commerce
Why seek the opinion of scholars?
This is a cabinet position, Admiral
.We seek a wide range of opinions
..I would like to know the name of the scientist who is testifying
To ask him questions
This is not a court
routine procedure?
They did not reject any presidential candidate The Council of Ministers since 1925
This is the basics of the game
It's a sure success, Louis
.be calm
They call scientists, though?
Chancellor, you don't know scientists like me
They feel offended when they are questioned
.especially if you are not among them
I was the head of the Atomic Energy Commission
It's easy to blame me For what happened to Robert
The Senate does not believe that The scientific community does not support you, sir
Or should we change our minds?
To what? And we support it
"I faced (Oppenheimer) and America won."
.I don't think it's necessary
Can't we call someone He knows what really happened?
.(Tiller)
.will dazzle
Can you find out the name The world they summoned?
Possibly I know if he lives in Chicago
.or "Los Alamos" during the war
Why is this important?
If he lives in Chicago, he works ...under the supervision of Szilard and Fermi
Not on Opie's crew at Los Alamos
Robert built that place ..was a founder, mayor and bailiff
.everything in one entity
Los Alamos Project. "main gate"
All a place needs is a bar
.there is no kitchen
.truly? We will find a solution
Barbed wire, weapons
.Good
We're at war, Hans
The "Halifax" explosion. 1917
Cargo ship carrying ammunition It exploded in Pearl Harbor
The result is a vast and sudden chemical reaction
The largest human-made explosion in history
Now let's calculate the destructive force ...which will be caused by the explosion
.if it was nuclear and not chemical
With explosive force treatment Tons of TNT
.but it will be in the thousands
.well, a kiloton
when using uranium 235 ...then you'll need the bomb
Sorry, the tool will need a ball .weighs 15 kg in this size
or the use of plutonium A ball weighs 4.5 kg
This is the amount of refined uranium .for the past month
And the Hanford lab produced these .quantity of plutonium
Now if we can increase these quantities We need a way to set it off
Are you bored, Edward?
.Yes kind of
Can I ask why?
We entered this room knowing .that the fission bomb is possible
What if we leave from here with something new?
like what?
instead of using uranium .and plutonium, we use hydrogen
.heavy hydrogen - hydrogen -
deuterium. Do you understand me?
...we press the atoms together
under tremendous pressure .to induce it to fission
...Then we won't get kilotons
.thousands of tons
...a major fission reaction
.well, wait, wait
So how do you generate enough power To combine hydrogen atoms?
.by a small fission bomb
.here we are
Since we'll need it anyway Can we go back to business?
...it was not a radioisotope issue
The most important political disagreement between you ...and between Dr. Oppenheimer
It was the hydrogen bomb, right?
As colleagues, we agreed not to agree ...in many matters
And one of the differences was the need To the hydrogen bomb program, yes
Thank you for holding this meeting on such short notice
.I can't believe it
.here we are
Tell me, what's up?
One of our B-29s has detected activity .radioactive North Pacific
Do we have filter paper?
There is no room for doubt about this
The White House says there are doubts
Just a guess, I'm afraid
Is this long range detection filter paper?
.It's an atomic test
The Russians have a bomb
We are supposed to be years ahead of them ...but some
What were you doing at Los Alamos? Isn't there a tight guard?
Of course, there is heavy security .you weren't there
...excuse me, doctor
.but I was there
We can now consider the actual mechanisms of detonation
Any ideas?
It's called "The Launch."
We launch a package of compostable materials ...to split into a larger ball
.with enough energy to reach the critical stage
what do you think?
I was thinking about the implosion
...explosives around the ball will explode inwards
.crushing stuff
.I want to check this idea
I'll speak to the ordnance department .so you can make explosions
How far have we come?
.Nice to see you too
I introduce you to the British battalion
Dr. Oppenheimer, I'm Klaus Fuchs
How long have you been British?
Since Hitler declared me non-German
Come with me, welcome to Los Alamos
Work is underway on schools
.and the tavern. Always open
I thought of downsizing the support team
Is that? - Mrs. Serber, yes.
I offered jobs to wives Supervisors, libraries and accountants
We reduced the number of employees and united families
Are these women eligible? - .Do not be silly -
They are among the brightest minds in our society
And sound security
I told General Groves you were done Open discussions between departments every night
Close it. "Partition" is extreme ...the importance of maintaining security
.VIP only
.who are supposed to communicate with subordinates
These guys aren't stupid They know how to act with caution
.I don't like it
You don't like anything enough to rate it
.Once a week .only big guys
I want to bring my brother here. .both -
...(Nichols)
I haven't been told yet if it's done Validate my security clearance
Not ratified yet. We're going to Washington tomorrow.
No, you should wait
You realize that the Nazis are ahead We have two years
Dr. Oppenheimer, difficulty authenticating Your security clearance is not my fault
It's your fault
.It may not be your fault, but rather your problem .I will go
How many participants These open discussions?
A lot, it was supposed to be Partition is the protocol.
We are in a race against the Nazis
And now the race is against the Soviets
Not if we start it. (Robert) -
.They just fired a gun
What is the nature of the device they released?
The data indicates that it may be A device to detonate platinum
Like the one I built at Los Alamos
The Russians have a bomb, and Truman He wants to know the next step
.what is next? Arms talks
arms talks - .Seemingly -
What about a "superweapon"? Does Truman know about it?
Did we show him?
.not specifically
We still don't know if it was the bomb .Hydro is technically possible
My understanding is that this was Teller's suggestion?
.Okay - In Los Alamos? -
Teller's designs have always been .not scientific
If you want to launch it, you will need .to an ox cart, not a plane
.(Obi) - I'm sorry, Dr. Loras, that you want-
comment?
.no
Because if you put us ahead
The president of the states should know .united thereof
If the Russians could know it through A spy in Los Alamos
We must hurry up
No evidence of a spy In Los Alamos
.(Robert)
Did they put it under the field?
The stadium is out of service
.Luckily
.(Obi) - Dr. Fermi.
I heard you built a small town
Yes, come check it out
Who would ever think of a place like this?
Everyone will go crazy
Thank you for trusting me, Szilard
Do we really need these notes?
When will you test it?
We tested it
The first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction
Didn't Groves tell you?
.both
.one by one, please
Dr. Oppenheimer?
I tried the personnel department They asked me if I could write
can you
At Harvard they don't study This is in the chemistry course
Hey Condon, put Mrs. Horning .in the plutonium team
What were you doing in Chicago?
Did you go to a metallurgy lab?
Why? Why? - ...you can't talk to -
...because we have the right
Your rights are only what I gave you .No more, no less
We are adults trying to manage .The project. This is ridiculous
.tell him
"Partition" is our agreed protocol.
I've had enough of this bastion of lunatics No one works under these conditions
You know what, Commander-in-Chief? .I quit
.thanks for nothing
.better without it
Doesn't his keeping him abroad worry you?
We will kill him if he speaks
.I was just kidding
No, he hates me, not America
You know, General, it can't be .manipulate everyone like me
.I don't think I understood you
You didn't recruit me though .from my leftist background
You recruited me because of it
.to be able to control me
.I'm not that precise
.I am just a humble soldier
You are neither humble nor just a soldier. I studied Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
You got me
Now that we understand each other ..bring me my security clearance
To complete this "wonder" for you
General Groves, were you aware ...with Dr. Oppenheimer's left-wing activities
When did you recruit him?
I knew there were doubts about him
I knew he had a background .very liberal
Do you think he will commit? Intentionally dishonest?
.I'd be surprised if he did
So you have so much confidence in his integrity?
In Los Alamos, yes .when I got to know him later
General, do your security officers ...in the project
They advised you not to give Dr. Oppenheimer. Security clearance?
They would not have done so without my insistence
So it can be said that you were aware Complete with Dr. Oppenheimer's security file
.Okay
I just want to ask you one last question
under current IAEA guidelines Would you give Dr. Oppenheimer a wish for our time?
Do you have the instructions?
under current IAEA guidelines
Would you give Dr. Oppenheimer a wish for our time?
Physics and New Mexico, right?
God, what an adventure
This is why you need an intermediary
I chose Lumantiz
.you will be fine
From here, gentlemen
Dr. Lawrence
(Leslie)
I'd like to remind you of what we talked about at Berkeley
Partition, I completely understand.
.Good
.Thanks
Greetings from Berkeley
I came to inform you of the progress made We have made it and I ask for your feedback
So, I'm going to have to share things Which General Groves forbade me
"Sorry, General," I said, "I see." .I did not say I agree
.Good
Gentlemen, let's get to work
...there are rumors of espionage activity - unfounded -
In Los Alamos. unfounded -
I was told that there were communists in the project
We didn't intentionally recruit any communists. ...I just want to know -
Whether any of them participated In the "Superbomb" discussions
I remember you asked your brother Coming to Los Alamos
At that time my brother left the party
What about Lumanitz?
I had no contributions Los Alamos was just an intermediary.
Security was tight As former Colonel Nichols knows
Our security was as tight as it could be ...for the people involved
But there were attempts
What do you mean?
We read his profile here
Should we talk about Jane Tatlock?
Or the Chevalier incident?
.Excuse me
It's Lumanitz, on the first line
Hello, Rossi
.What? Well, calm down
There was another error Lumanitz has just been fired
We are at war, Doctor
Don't be a fool, Nichols .we need the boy
Did you handle it?
.wasn't wrong
Your friend (Lomanitz) wanted to create Radiation Laboratory Syndicate
.But he promised to stop doing that
It didn't seem to stop
Berkeley security concerns ..communist penetration of this syndicate
"..-Ugh, eh โF, A, E, C, T.โ
.I will be there next week .I will go see him
Your security clearance has been received
It is important not to have or Renew questionable links
Doctor, do you think social relations...
Ben is a recruit for a secret project And the communists was dangerous?
I will be more alert to risks these days
But it can be said that during .. years of war
I feel like this kind of relationship .potentially dangerous
.Potentially dangerous, yes
...because honestly
Notorious communists
...Listen
It filled my head a lot .of secrets for a long time
Whoever I mix with
.I do not share these secrets
...you said in your statement
That I had to meet Jane Tatlock .in 1943
.that you left
.Without warning
What effect do you think this will have on me?
I wrote a letter
Blank pages
Where did you go?
I can't tell you- Why not? -
.because you are a communist
Why did you have to see her?
Because she showed a great desire to .see me before we leave
,at that moment .I felt that she needed to see me
She was undergoing psychiatric treatment .she was very unhappy
Did you know why she needed to see you?
.because she was in love with me
You spent the night together, right?
.Okay
..that you enter and leave my life
And you don't have to tell me why
This is tyranny
.doesn't comfort me
I'd rather be here when you need me
.But you have other priorities now
.I have a wife and a child
.This is not what we are talking about
.(Gene)
You asked me to come
.and that made me happy
.but I will stop seeing you yet
But what if I need you?
You said you would always answer
Not even a word?
Do you think it was a good security measure?
.in fact yeah
Not even a word.
When did you see her next?
.I've never seen her
I can catch the last train To Princeton
I didn't say anything I didn't tell you before, Kitty
Today you mentioned it to history, right?
This is a closed hearing
, if they do not publish the minutes .I am sure you will do it
I swear
We had a division, too When you were meeting Jane
...you know, you
.you sit there. day after day
.you allow them to destroy our lives
Why didn't you fight back?
I'm not calling her, Robert
Dr. Oppenheimer, I'm honored .Please take a seat
no need. I just wanted to check ...whether I should
talk to lumanitz .for being the owner
It's up to you, Professor .but I will be careful
.Concept
...and about the union
I should warn you of a man named Eltenton
warning?
Yes, it might be worth watching .that's all in it
I would like to know more details. ...Ok I'm -
I have an interview now .I will be leaving early tomorrow
.Come back whenever you want
.since your time is short now
.I came back the next morning
Yes, I should have
But there was another man
He said his name was Bash
bash)! You met Colonel Bash?)
Colonel Bash, would you read your memo dated June 29, 1943?
Target Observation Results Indicate
Possible links with the Communist Party.
Target spent a lot of time with .."(Communism (Jane Tatlock
"attachment recorded"
Was the target Dr. Oppenheimer?
.Okay - And who did you meet? -
I didn't meet him at the time .but shortly thereafter
He's the head of project security Shouldn't I meet him?
No, he must meet you
I wouldn't put you in a room with Bash
Why not?
When Bash heard about Lumanitz
Tell the FBI He's going to kidnap him and put him on a boat
And he interrogates him in the Russian way
General Groves commissioned me ...with a certain responsibility
.like having a baby I can't see
.like a remote control
...so getting to know you is
.I won't take much of your time
No. Not at all. Take your time
Mr. Johnson told me about a conversation I did it yesterday, it piqued my interest
I spent the day worrying
Yeah, I don't want to talk to you .(Lumannitz) without permission
.I don't care about this part
...but a little more than that
.in my opinion, more serious
Now when the FBI pointed out ...to have such information
...will not be admissible in court
Bash made it clear that was his intention Not leaving anyone to testify
Now the FBI shut him up .but this is the man you are dealing with
I imagine you know other people Interested in the work of the radiation laboratory
...a man associated with the Soviet consul
...referred through intermediaries
to the project staff that he was on .A situation that allows him to transmit information
Why anyone in the project would like to do that?
Honestly, I understand that there may be ...an argument for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Inform the Russians that they are our allies ...after every thing
But I don't like the idea of โโusing Unofficial channels
.might not hurt to be on the loose with this
And you said that to Bash?
I was trying to explain to him That "Russia" is not "Germany."
Boris Bash is the son of a bishop. Russian Orthodox
Born here, but returned to Russia In 1918 to fight the Bolsheviks
This man killed the communists With his bare hands
I don't decide who should or shouldn't .to have the information
My job is to stop her from passing .Illegally
Can you be more precise?
There is a man whose name I have been told (Several times. (Eltenton
I think he's a chemist who works at Shell
..talk to one of his friends
who is an acquaintance Project employee
Do you think this will please Bash?
I was trying to give them Eltenton .without creating a bigger problem
I told them a complicated story
You lied to General Grover too?
No. I confessed to him that I lied to Bash
Do you remember this conversation About Chevalier's accident?
.I've seen a lot of this
.I wasn't confused before but I definitely am now
And what did you conclude?
He was influenced by model thinking ...for American students
Slander causes harm
.amazing
Can we find out who mediated the communication?
It will implicate people we don't want .they get involved in this
Is this person a member? in the project?
He's a faculty member, yeah .but he is not in the project
So Eltinton's approach was through A Berkeley faculty member?
.as far as i know As far as I know, yes
But there might have been More than one person is involved
Gentlemen, if I don't seem cooperative ..I think you understand that
This is because I insisted not to .harming innocent people
.you want to protect your friend But who will protect you?
.You can protect me
.if you give me the name
If you command me, I will give it to you
You're wrong, Robert You must give me the name voluntarily
Did he give you the name? Yes
But not at the time, right? - No
Actually that was after a few months, right?
.Okay
.you find me persistent
Yes, you are very persistent, but this is your job
My job is to protect those who work for me
...instead of resorting to certain means
that might catch your attention
and disturbing you
.I would like to discuss these with you first
I don't like making plans, but I need .to grasp the whole thing
In the months between meeting you ...with Dr. Oppenheimer
And his final assignment to Chevalier
Did you spend resources to discover the name of the broker?
Big resources, yeah
, without the name Our work was very difficult
And when did you get the name?
I was away when Oppenheimer delivered the name
Away?
They thought I would be more useful in Europe
To follow up on the Nazi bomb project
Who moved you?
(General Groves
He brought me to London
It's early for the Christmas party
.something is fishy. travel (tolman)
where?
Ruth didn't tell me.
Come on, Ruthie, if you won't tell me Who will you tell?
Partition, Opie.
Why do you think I know where he is?
Because you always know where the master is .(Tolman) when required
Like now?
!attention
.An early birthday gift for everyone
The British pilots put me down .in the bomb room
They showed me the oxygen, but I was confused
When they took me out in Scotland I was unconscious
.but I pretended I was napping
Enjoy the party
Is it big enough?
to end the war?
.to end all wars
Heisenberg ran into me in Copenhagen
It was unsettling to see my student .the former works with the Nazis
.Tell me some things that attract me
Continuous fission reactions in uranium
It looks more like a reactor than a bomb
Did he mention gaseous diffusion?
.he seemed more focused on heavy water
as an intermediary?
.yeah, instead of graphite
What is the matter?
.misconduct
We're at the forefront We need your help, Niles
Excuse me, would you excuse us, gentlemen?
I didn't come here to help, Robert
.I knew you could do it without me
So why did you come?
.to talk about what follows
The power you will reveal You will be long after the Nazis
.and the world is not ready
You must be ready to attack." The serpent while lifting the rock
We must banish the politicians .that this is not a new weapon
It's a new world
I will be there doing what I can ...but you are
You will become an American Prometheus
The man who gave them strength ...to destroy themselves
.and they will respect that
.and your business will really begin
Sorry, Opie, you have a call
From San Francisco
Robert)?)
Robert)?)
(Robert), (Robert)
Oh my God, what's up?
What happened?
Her father called
They found her in the bathtub yesterday
from?
...I took the pills
.I left a message, unsigned
I took barbiturates, but that was it There is chloral hydrate in her blood
There was a message
Jane Tatlock?)
We were together
She said she needed me
...I told her I wouldn't
...I told her I couldn't
No, I'm the reason
...don't make the mistake
And you make us feel sorry for you .because there were consequences
.be strong
There are people who depend on you
Any input, Donald?
.please help me - You're on your own, mate.
I will not quit my job because Radioactive plutonium, Bob
We don't know how that might affect ...on the female reproductive system
Presumably your reproductive system is over .Exposed to radiation from my device
Can we start?
The implosion device has stopped
You can't rush at all Something, Opie. Please
There are "accelerate" and "continue", choose one of them
Hey, Niedermeyer's doing his job Teller is not helping.
.You don't lend a hand
I was asking for lens accounts .implosion weeks ago
The British can do it .(Fox)
.certainly
It's your job, Teller
.I am committed to research
With a hydrogen bomb that we didn't even build
.I will not work with this man
Let him leave, he's cocky
I agree, he should leave Los Alamos
.Good
Kesty, you are Niedermeyer's replacement.
Seth, I'll charge you for the plutonium.
Lily, work with Kesty. Because he needs you
Fox, take on the role of Teller. .I'll charge you for the implosion device
And nobody leaves Los Alamos
They won't let me leave. .no -
.I will not let you leave
Forget about Hans Forget about fission
Stay here, find what you want
Fission, hydrogen bomb .whatever. Let's meet and discuss
You don't have time for meetings
You're political now, Robert
.I quit physics years ago
.once a week
.one hour, both of us
.Now lift the bar
So it was the "superbomb" research Under your supervision at Los Alamos?
.Okay
However, after the war I tried to deny that it was applicable
No, no, I indicated that there is Technical difficulties regarding it
Didn't you try to stop her at the Energy Committee meeting? Atomic after the Russian bomb test?
.no - ...but that was a recommendation -
From the Atomic Energy Commission, right? - ...after hours of discussion -
.for the best response
...and the hydrogen bomb
A thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb
"Moscow"
Its only target will be the big cities
It is a weapon of genocide
Izzy, draw some circles in... ..this side of the map
.where they attack us
Starting with New York, Washington. .This is a reasonable -
It is an offensive weapon that has no defensive values
deterrence tool - deterrent tool? -
.. Do we really need more deterrence
From our current atomic arsenal?
She sank in 10 feet of water ...or ten thousand
what is the difference?
We can sink Russia already .they know
Now they can drown us. So we just count -
Like I said, it's still Teller's designs .impractical, as it was in the war
An effective hydrogen bomb can be made Opie, you know that
I don't think we should allocate All our resources for that opportunity
So how are you going to reassure Truman? And the American people?
simply by reducing proliferation of nuclear weapons
through international oversight .on nuclear energy
And by which government do you mean?
The United Nations, as Roosevelt intended
Well, I asked what should be Truman would do it, right?
The world has changed, fascism is no longer Or communism, what threatens our existence
Do you understand, Lois, that if... ...we didn't make a hydrogen bomb
The Russians will have a choice to build their own bomb?
Maybe they are working on one now?
Based on the information we obtained It's from a mole in Los Alamos
There is no spy in Los Alamos
Let's not get off track, gentlemen No spy?
I say seize the moment ...to win concessions from the Russians
By acknowledging that we will not make .Hydrogen bomb
.which reveals its existence
.which you seem convinced to know
.Good
At this point, I want to meet ...members of the committee individually
To finalize our recommendations
I'm not sure you want to go down this path
We're the advisory committee, Lois We will give our advice
.good night
Dr. Oppenheimer? Welcome. I'm William Borden.
The Joint Commission on Atomic Energy?
Yes Yes.
I was a pilot during the war.
One night I was returning from a raid And I saw a majestic sight, like a meteor.
An AV2 missile headed for England.
I can't help but I can Imagine what it will become...
An enemy missile carrying an atomic warhead.
Let's make sure we don't make that possible.
Opie, I don't think you want to confront Strauss.
If we both talk, they will listen to me.
When you speak, they will listen to a prophet.
and when strauss speaks They will listen to themselves.
They will listen to a prophet.
The Prophet does not err, not once.
Didn't you accuse Oppenheimer? By sabotaging the destructive bomb?
I wasn't one to be manipulated vocabulary as "vandalism".
But was Mr. Borden like this?
As I understand it, this is possible.
How could Mr. Borden Making such a detailed indictment?
He is no longer a government employee...
However, it turns out that he has access Unlimited to Mr. Oppenheimer's file.
Perhaps Mr. Nichols granted it File access?
Or someone else at the Atomic Energy Commission?
Senator, that's a serious accusation.
Do you intend to point out that Dr. Oppenheimer Not loyal to "the United States"?
I always assumed and still assume That he is loyal to the United States.
I believe in that and I will remain a believer Until I see hard evidence otherwise.
Do you believe or not that Dr Oppenheimer poses a security risk?
โThe impact of the technical apparatus on civilization.โ
And if I may, when Hitler blew up ...his head in that basement
In my humble opinion, there is no need ...to this bomb anywhere
Except for the test site
But at least we have to stop ...for a moment and think about
..Whether the end justifies the means because
Germany is about to surrender.
The enemy is no longer the biggest threat to humanity .it's what we do
Hitler is dead, that's right.
.But the Japanese are fighting
Their defeat seems certain
Unless you are robot soldiers .are ready to invade
We can end this war
But how are we going to justify the use of This weapon on humans?
We are theorists, right?
.Yes Yes
We imagine a future, and our imagination makes us panic
But they are not afraid of it until they understand it.
They will not understand it until they use it.
When the world learns secrets Scary about Los Alamos.
Our work here will ensure safety humanity you've never seen before.
Peace depends on international cooperation The one Roosevelt always pictured.
Continue?
Is it worth two million dollars and two years?
It's hard to put a price on it.
No, just add the bills.
"Free access to rural areas"
Eighty children were born in the first year.
And this year we had it Ten children a month.

The test is in July.
But I need my brother.

What shall we call the test?
"Own my heart, O only God."
What?
"Holy Trinity"
I insisted on bringing your brother Frank, a known communist.
Ex-communist
I brought a communist ...previously known
To the largest and most important defense project Secret in America
.I know my brother can be trusted .Absolutely
Did you feel that your judgment was correct? About who can be trusted on the team?
Fox, put your head down.
Well, everyone get ready
I hope you learned something.
Yes, we learned that we should Get away from it.
Find a solution quickly.
We'll leave for Washington in the morning. We'll give them an appointment.
You're far from Chicago, Leo.
If we don't act now, they will The invention is against Japan.
We've booked a meeting with Truman. Until someone spoiled it.
You will meet the warlord.
Just because we make it, and it doesn't It means we decide how to use it.
History will judge us, Robert.
In Chicago, we started writing a petition together.
I will not participate in that.
Tell me your concerns and I'll pass them on.
my fears?
Germany was "defeated".
And "Japan" will not stand alone
How do you know that? .you got us into it
You and Einstein, and your letter to Roosevelt You mention our capabilities in making a bomb
Against Germany
This is not how it works It has the gun industry, Szilard
You have to lend a hand, Opie
Fermi and Lawrence will attend this meeting.
They are not the same as you.
You are the greatest marketer of science.
You are good at persuading anyone and any commodity.
Even yourself.
.I apologize
The firestorm decimated me Tokyo, 100,000 people.
Most of them are civilians
I worry about America as we are We do these things and no one protests.
Pearl Harbor and three years Brutal conflict in the Pacific...
He made American public opinion suit us.
Is it enough to launch an atomic bomb?
Maybe the harm of the atomic bomb is not It's the size of a Tokyo beat.
And what are our estimates?
In the size of an average city...
Twenty or thirty thousand dead.
Yes, but...
Do not underestimate the psychological impact caused by an atomic explosion.
A pillar of fire 10,000 feet tall.
Deadly neutron effects A mile away in all directions.
produced by a single machine.
It was shot down by a B-29 and hardly noticed.
The atomic bomb will be...
A terrible revelation of divine power.
If this is true, it will be crucial.
.WWII will end
Our boys are coming home
What about military targets?
There are no goals big enough
Maybe a biological war factory His workers live near him
And we can issue a warning to reduce .of civilian casualties
...they will send everything they have against us
.and I'll be on that plane
But if we announce it and it fails...
We will spoil any chance of the Japanese surrendering
There is no way to show the bomb For the Japanese to surrender?
We intend to show that .in no uncertain terms
.twice
...one to show the strength of the weapon
The other is to show them that we can continue .made this weapon so that they surrender
We have a list of twelve ...a city to choose from
.excuse me, eleven
I crossed out Kyoto due to its importance .Cultural of the Japanese people
So did my wife and I Our honeymoon there
.It is an amazing city
Let me make it easier for you .Gentlemen
According to my information that I can't ...share with you
...the Japanese people will not surrender
...under any circumstances
Only a comprehensive and successful invasion of the mother islands.
Many will lose their lives .Americans and Japanese
Use of the atomic bomb .Japanese cities will save lives
.if we retain the moral advantage
How is that?
If we use this weapon ...without informing our allies
They will see it as a threat
We will have an arms race
How open can we be with the Soviets?
Secrecy did not prevent the Soviets from that .be part of the atomic world
We have learned that they do not have uranium
You have been misled
The Russian bomb is just a matter of time
The program should continue at maximum His energy after the end of the war
Your Honor, Minister Stimson ...if I may
Not all scholars ...in the project agree
In fact, this may be a moment .to consider other opinions
...if a world happened - The Manhattan Project...
...was contaminated from the start
Some scholars question it Their esteem and uncertain loyalty
Someone tried to meet the president
...Now, we need these guys
But once that becomes practical Any scholars should be dismissed from the programme
Don't you agree with me, Doctor?
.if the Russian bomb is inevitable
Maybe we should invite a better one Their scientists to Trinity?
President (Truman) does not intend to raise ...the ceiling of expectations
That (Stalin) will be among them .atomic program
Inform him of our openness and offer it as a means ...to win the war
No need to make promises can not .fulfilled
But the "Potsdam" peace conference ...will take place in July
It would be President Truman's chance .last to engage in that dialogue
Can you give us a bomb until then?
Sure, we'll take the test Before the conference
Ground control center in the distance .ten thousand yards
North, south, and west
Where are we going to bomb?
...south, 10,000 miles
And the base camp in the distance .ten miles south, here
There is a lookout point on that hill .twenty miles away
What is this, Frank? The launch lines are already marked
The Air Force requested a line of lights For a B-29 plane
Which B-29? Our bomb will be thrown from the tower
They want to use the test to determine .safe distance
This is a risk
It is not more dangerous than throwing it ... over Japan
.and hopefully we're right about radiation
Don't let them slow us down, we'll take the test .in the fifteenth
...Fifteenth? this is not - .Fifteenth -
.Fifteenth
So I'll be at South Lookout With Frank and Kestaikowski
You will be assigned to camp camp, pip Western observation, or distant awakening
Hey, gentle with the knife.
Are these safe distances?
.It is built according to your calculations
Time is behind you, Hans
.Okay
What about the radiation cloud?
Without high winds, it might settle down .within two to three miles
Evacuation procedures are in place
But we need good weather to see So it must be good weather
Everyone out
We'll start the night of the fifteenth
It's a strict deadline, so if I had... .someone has anything to say, speak now
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa
.everyone, pillows
Put pillows under it
.Final blast test can be used
.it can't hurt
.do it
Is there anything that can stop us?
It will happen, right?
.I will send a message
.If it goes as we want
Enter the sheets
Robert)?)
.good luck
Obi put in three tons
Teller bets 45. Twenty tons.
Twenty thousand tons of material ...that NT
Is anyone betting? On atmospheric ignition?
Are you saying we'll have to postpone?
.say it would be wise
This weather reached the site?
Beth called to let you know that... The implosion has failed
Hi, Hans, yes, he's here
.Okay
Is he wrong?
.both - both? -
.both
So we're about to fail?
.both - And make it clear -
Well, I can't, I just know
.I know implosion lenses will work
If we fire these thunderbolts ...and there was no reaction
An amount of plutonium will spread out .for two years in this white sand
A bet with a monthly salary of ten Dollars he says will explode.
.Oh, my God
Wind increases at zero, not rain.
It is the sound of lightning
You think it's time to tell ...in your men
To get away from the steel tower The one with the atomic bomb.
Let's go to the southern observation area. Pull them all out.
We can get there
The team hasn't slept for two nights
If we stop, secure the bomb We won't be back here for weeks
Then we'll miss Potsdam
I have to tell Truman at seven .otherwise we will miss our chance
what is going on?
It rains, the wind blows, it flashes
how long?
.she is strong
It will recede before dawn
How do you know that? - I am familiar with the desert.
The storm blows overnight And before dawn, it recedes
He may be right, but make an appointment as late as possible
half past five
According to your expectations, if I am wrong I will hang you
Tell everyone, Frank half past five
Half past five. Half past five.
Three years, four thousand people And two billion dollars
...if it doesn't work
It will be over for both of us
.I'm betting on three kilotons
Anything less, he will not give .The desired result
What did Fermi mean by the phrase? atmospheric ignition?
Well, we've had a moment ...as it looked like
Chain reaction of the atomic system .may not stop at all
Which leads to a fire .in the atmosphere
Why is Fermi still betting on it?
I take it as a joke
Hey, are you saying there's a chance? ...that when we click this button
That we will destroy the world?
None in our research over the years All three support such a conclusion
.except for the remote possibility
- What possibility? The chances are almost zero.
Almost zero?
What do you want from theory alone?
.zero would be acceptable
...particulary
...in 1 hour and 58 minutes
We will know
The storm is abating
The arming group left the area They are heading in this direction

And now I have become death.
Destroyer of worlds
It worked.
You owe me ten dollars
Come on! Calm yourself, I'm her.
.you too
.yeah, you are
.Done well
We succeeded! We succeeded
.Done well
Connect me to Bodstam right away. I solve -
Send a message to Kitty
We can't say anything
.Tell her to get the sheets in
We succeeded, all of us!
Welcome?
- Hello, Kitty? What's up, Charlotte?
Here you go, Charlotte.
I don't know, he just told me to I tell you to bring the sheets.
(kitty)?
(kitty)? Do you still hear me?
If they blow it up in the air The impact of the explosion will not be strong.
With respect, Doctor (Oppenheimer) We're going from here.
Did Truman brief President Stalin? Information in Potsdam?
It is possible that the reading is exaggerated.
He introduced a new powerful weapon.
And Stalin was hoping for To use it against Japan.
Is that what's up?
Robert, we gave them a chance It is up to them to seize it.
Are you aiming for six?
The responsibility rests with you Commanding Officer Pacific.
May I accompany you to Washington?
And for what?
You will keep me posted.
certainly.
to the best of my ability.
Will the Japanese surrender? If they knew what was coming?
I don't know.
Did you see Szilard's petition?
What does Szilard know about the Japanese?
You wouldn't sign it, wouldn't you?
Lots of people signed it.
(Edward).
In fact, we are in the making of this bomb
It does not give us the right and the responsibility to decide Use it in a different way than others.
But they are the only ones who know about it.
I told Stimson different opinions of society.
But what do you think?
Once the bomb is used...
Nuclear war, and perhaps every war...
You will become unthinkable.
Until someone builds a bigger bomb than her.
I thought they would call.
It's only five.
It's six in Japan.
(Charlotte)?
Try calling Groves.
Is there anything?
(Charlotte)?
Trubet on the phone.
16 hours ago...
An American plane dropped a bomb On Hiroshima...
It destroyed resources of benefit to the enemy.
The bomb carries over 20,000 tons of TNT explosive.
It is an atomic bomb.
It is a harnessing of the fundamental forces of the universe.
Groves on the phone.
We are now ready to destroy The Japanese quickly and completely.
Hey general?
I am so proud of you and your people.
Did you explode emotionally?
Obviously, it exploded with a huge sound.
Everyone here gets them Feeling comfortable about it.
It took a lot of time.
I think most things Wisely what I did...
When I was chosen director of Los Alamos.
We have spent over $20 million...
At the greatest scientific risk In history we have won.
(Obi), (Obi).
This day will be immortalized in the memory of the world.
It's too early for that We determine what the bombing results are.
But I bet The Japanese do not like it.
I am very proud.
Very proud of what you've achieved.
I wish we had it back then Let's use it against the Germans.
Dr. Oppenheimer?
Dr. Oppenheimer?
Nice pic.
President Truman will see you now.
Dr. Oppenheimer, what an honor.
Mr. President.
Help yourself. I thank you.
Secretary (Behrens).
How do you feel when you are the most famous man in the world?
You saved many American lives.
And what I did in Hiroshima was...
in Nagasaki.
Obviously your invention He brought our children home.
It wasn't my invention in the first place.
You're the one on the cover of Time magazine.
Jim tells me you're worried about a race Armaments for the Soviet Union.
Okay.
Now is our chance to secure...
International cooperation in the field of Atomic energy and I'm worried.
Did you know when to own? Soviet Union for the bomb?
I don't think I can...
Absolutely, absolutely.
Mr. President, the Russians have it Brilliant physicists and plentiful matter.
abundant?
Okay.
I do not think so.
They'll put everything they own and then...
I heard you're leaving Los Alamos.
What should we do with it?
Give it back to the Indians.
Dr. Oppenheimer, if that's what you're talking about About the Soviet Union, right...
We need to build Los Alamos, not shut it down.
Mr. President.
I feel like I did the best I could.
Do you think someone is in Hiroshima or... "Nagasaki" matters to whom is the bomb?
They care who I dropped it and I dropped it.
You have nothing to do with Hiroshima.
Dr. Oppenheimer.
Don't allow that crying to come here again.
Robert saw that anxiety It won't lead to anything
And when I met him...
He accepted his reputation as the "Father of the Bomb"...
Use his profile to influence politics.
Doctor, in the years after the war...
Would you say you have an influence on politics? Atomic in the United States?
I think it's a wonderful effect, and possibly an exaggeration.
truly? If we consider the issue of nuclear isotopes...
We are personally responsible for Destroying every opposition by exporting it.
You can use a beer bottle whenever Make an atomic bomb, you really can.
I was speaking to that opinion It was agreed upon among scholars.
All the while, McCarthy was getting bigger strength, knowing that he was vulnerable to weakness.
His brother was banned from universities all over the country.
Lumanitz is done. working on the railways.
And (Chevalier) into exile.
But none of that stopped (Robert) in continuing to pay
Nuclear Energy Commission to recommend monitoring Weapons instead of the hydrogen bomb.
He was devastated at the time Truman rejected their recommendation.
I miss Richard more than I can stand.
I know, Ruth, I know.
Part of me rejoices in his death and nonexistence Seeing where it all goes.
Here comes the one who celebrates his birthday, go away.
Have fun with it.
My son and his fiancee would very much like that They meet the father of the atomic bomb, so...
Have a good day.
Is this an inappropriate time? What do you think, Louis?
It must have shocked you.
A shock to the world.
for the world? And what does it mean Fox for the rest of the people in the world?
Fox, Klaus Fox.
Oh dear, you haven't heard about it.
It's Klaus Fuchs, the British scientist
that put you on a team The implosion at Los Alamos.
It is assumed that he was...
A spy for the Federation Soviet all the time.
I regret it.
After the truth about Fox came out. The FBI's surveillance of him increased.
He knew his phone was tapped.
He was followed everywhere...
They searched his trash.
But he will not stop expressing his opinion.
A man of principles.
Perhaps he thought fame would protect him.
When Eisenhower occupied the office. He saw he had an opportunity.
And I took it.
We can compare "America" โโand "Russia" Two scorpions in a bottle.
Each is capable of killing the other But he must risk himself.
There are different aspects to this policy.
Many scholars blamed me But how was I supposed to protect him?
Discussion of this is strictly confidential Honestly, it's the only cure.
Officials need to speak up With the American people, frankly.
That was the last wrath of Robert's enemies.
That is why he had to lose his security clearance.
However, he lost his credibility.
But how could they do that?
He was a war hero.
He told everyone about his past.
Borden conjured every piece of information.
How did Borden get access to... Oppenheimer's file with the FBI?
Could Nichols be the cause?
No, I don't imagine him doing that.
But either one did it Unleash a firestorm
Swept down the road from the White House. Even my office is at the Atomic Energy Commission.
You see them there, right?
I worked my whole life to get here.
Cabinet of the United States America is now facing the entire country...
And they will return me to my place.
A humble shoe salesman.
Lois, we can win this thing.
I think we can make the senate They think you did your homework...
Although it was a painful duty.
Now, will Hill's testimony back us up?
He will be fine. I don't really know him...
But it was one of Zilard's in Chicago.
For not supporting their protest against bombing Japan.
This took 31 days after the bombing.
And everyone on the street It was about a mile away...
He suffered immediate and serious burns.
The Japanese talked about people Those who wore striped clothes
The lines on their bodies were burnt.
A lot of people thought they were lucky...
which they climbed out from under the rubble their homes and sustained minor injuries.
But they died anyway.
They passed away within days or weeks after that...
Radium-like radiation It was fired in a large quantity at the moment of explosion.
Did you see this absurdity in the papers?
A British scientist declares Atomic explosions...
Not the last chapter World War II...
However, it is the first chapter Cold war with Russia.
What world is this?
I think you know him, Patrick Blackett.
Maybe he's wrong. Right now Stimson tells me...
That we bombarded an enemy, and it was defeated the worst defeat.
Robert, you have all the influence right now.
Please, encourage them to continue My search for the destructive bomb.
I can't and I don't want to, Edward.
why not?
It's a negative use of our resources.
Is that what you really think?
(J. Robert Oppenheimer). The mysterious atomic teacher.
Nobody knows what you believe.
aren't you like that?
And for the last time our program director Dr. (J Robert Oppenheimer).
I hope in the coming years...
You will look upon your work here with pride.
But this is the pride today She must be very anxious.
If atomic weapons were to be added To the armory of the warring world...
The cursed day will come It's where the people are Los Alamos.
Sorry, Admiral.
I took the time to buy this.
It looks very useful.
It has Oppenheimer, what's the address?
"Strauass confronted J. Robert Oppenheimer."
America won.
That will work.
These were your words from another day.
We needed to change the approach.
How will you know what Time magazine will write?
Henry Luce, my friend.
You sat here and allowed me to Tell you how it happened.
But you were way ahead.
Living in Washington
It's about knowing how things happen.
Good.
And what did I say about Borden?
"Why were you arrested with a knife?"
I'm starting to think that Borden... He was holding a knife for you.
It will depend on the extent of the impact What Borden investigated on Teller.
Did I miss something funny?
It's Borden, Borden. - And when we all know Strauss is the reason.
Louis brought me to Princeton, Kitty.
Then I humiliated him in front of Congress.
But more useful than a sandwich.
How to do it - I'll take a 10-minute break.
Maybe too much, Robert.
This was six years ago.
The principled...
Patient like a saint.
Strauss has made it clear that he's completely neutral.
Wake up, it's Strauss.
Strauss has always been, and you know that.
Why don't you fight it?
Oh my god.
It wasn't Nichols or Hoover. Or Truman, it was you.
You gave the file to Borden. Then I pointed it at Oppenheimer.
- And I convinced him... - (Borden)...
It didn't require any convincing.
Take your time and use the entire file.
Write down your conclusions and send them to the Bureau of Investigation.
It is clear that there is a lot of material But there is nothing new here.
Your conclusions will be many.
And they will have to be answered.
Did Hoover turn them into McCarthy?
(Oppenheimer) Elusive For this clown.
I asked Hoover to put pressure on McCarthy. While you finish it off with the Atomic Energy Agency.
- Trial. both.
No trial, you can't give Oppenheimer Tribune and you can't make him a martyr.
We need systematic destruction For Oppenheimer's credibility...
So as not to repeat his talk about national security issues.
So what is destruction?
A shabby little room away from the media.
Simple bureaucratic procedure to renew his security clearance.
You send your accusations to the FBI.
Hoover sends it to the Energy Authority Atomic and you are forced to act.
Write down an indictment...
She informs Oppenheimer that His security clearance will not be renewed.
But he is given an opportunity to appeal.
As you can see, Robert hasn't signed yet.
May I keep these?
both.
If you decide to appeal, they will have to to send you a copy.
Whenever an appeal is submitted And believe me, he will do it...
I will appoint a council.
And of course it will include legal counsel.
- Attorney General? Everything but the name.
from?
(Roger Robb).
Rob will have a pass Security to check on Oppenheimer's file.
As would the Gray Council. He does not have access to the attorney general's attorney.
Closed session and insulting information And you are allegedly accusing me.
No audience, no journalists, no burden of proof.
No burden of proof.
We do not condemn.
We just refuse.
What did you miss?
"This is how the game is played."
Forgive me for my naivety.
amateurs who seek Behind the sun they will be eaten.
The strength lies in the shadows.
But, sir, you are out of the shadows at the moment.
Right, which is why this should work.
Good...
Teller will testify this morning.
This will help us, and then...
And Hale will testify tonight.
Hale will help us, too.
As you can see, Robert hasn't signed yet.
- May I keep these? both.
If you decide to appeal, they will have to to send you a copy.
Take my car and driver, I insist.
I'm going to have to consult my lawyer, Louis.
certainly.
But don't take long.
I can't get Nichols away from me.
I am sorry that things have come to an end That's it, Robert.
I think that is wrong.
Nichols wants me to fight him To write it all down.
Strauss wants to push me away.
Strauss knows you can do it...
Accusations will be accepted.
You will lose your job.
And you will lose your reputation.
And you will lose your home.
You have to fight, Robert.
In my capacity as the Attorney General of the Energy Authority Atomic, I can't represent you.
I'll call Lloyd Garrison.
He's brilliant.
It's the best, but I have to warn you.
This wouldn't be a fair fight.
While you meet Boris Bash, General 1943, did you talk about mini-films?
both.
tab 11, First page, third paragraph.
Didn't you mention a man from the consulate? And an expert in mini-movies?
Sorry. both.
I want to know the document from which the master cites (Rob) If you can provide us with a copy.
The document is not classified, Mr. Garrison.
I think we have to take with information from a direct source.
This is a direct source.
How is that, Roger?
There was a recording of the interview.
You let my client sit there and endure Giving false information...
Do you have a recording from the beginning?
No one instructed your client to distort his previous answer.
twist? It's been 12 years. Shall we listen to the recording?
You don't have security clearance, Mr. Garrison.
But you read it on the record.
Please, is this procedure focused? On deception or the truth?
If he is focused on the truth Where is the evidence? Where is the list of witnesses?
Mr. Garrison, this Not a trial, you know.
The rules of evidence do not apply Here we are dealing with national security.
Yes, sir, with all due respect, I don't understand
How does national security Criminal prosecution is prohibited
Provide us with a list of witnesses. - Maybe we need a short break.
Gentlemen, I promise.
If you say that sayings From a written text, I will accept that.
I already explained how I made up a bogus story.
Why would anyone fabricate such a complicated story?
Because I was an idiot.
Why did you lie?
It is clear that the goal was not Disclosure of the identity of the broker.
Your friend Haakon Chevalier, the communist.
Am I still your friend?
Yes.
Dr. Raby, thanks for coming.
You know who the others are The prosecution summoned them?
Honestly, Tyler, they asked Lawrence.
And what did he say?
It wouldn't have helped them but...
But... But...
Strauss told him that you and Ruth Tolman You've been cheating on your husband for years.
The whole time you lived with them in Pasadena.
Convinced Lawrence that Richard He died heartbroken.
Can't believe it.
- Which part? - Heartbreaker.
Richard never knew about it.
Will Lawrence testify?
I don't know.
Dr. Raby, what are the positions? Which government do you currently occupy?
Chairman of the Advisory Committee The General Authority of Atomic Energy...
Dr. Oppenheimer's successor.
How long have you known Dr. Oppenheimer?
Since 1928. And I know him well.
I know you enough to talk What is the extent of his sincerity and personality?
Dr. Oppenheimer High moral character.
He is loyal to the United States and his comrades
and to the institutions of which he is a part.
all.
who is that man?
Nothing to worry about.
After the Russian atomic bomb test
Did Dr. Lawrence visit you? For your vision of the hydrogen bomb?
You better ask him.
I fully intend to ask him.
Are you saying Dr. Oppenheimer was... Permanent opponent of the hydrogen bomb?
No, he thought the nuclear fusion program...
It will be weakened from the fission program Our super nuclear.
But it turns out that this is not the case.
In the end, both can be accomplished.
We assume this committee is not satisfied...
On the testimony of Dr. Oppenheimer. That he was completely honest.
What do you say about his acquittal or not?
Not all of these insults were directed towards A man who achieved what Dr. Oppenheimer achieved?
Look at his record.
We have the atomic bomb and every chain of it.
We have a detonator bomb and every chain thereof.
What more do you want?
Nymphs?
But I knew the Secretary Strauss for many years...
I think it is necessary Express strong support.
For what Lewis showed to science and scientists.
We'll take a break unless There is immediate action.
Senator, I would like to ask again...
Provide a list of witnesses.
I would like to remind the candidate that we do not provide Always have this information in advance.
We know that Dr. Hale He will be here after lunch.
Mr. President, our next witness is Dr. Lawrence has colitis.
And for this we will complete the procedure with (William Borden) in his place.
Welcome, Mr. Borden, please be seated.
Mr. Borden.
During your investigation of Dr. Oppenheimer, Have you reached firm conclusions?
I got it.
Have you ever expressed conclusions? In a letter to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover...
At the FBI?
This is correct.
Before writing the letter did you discuss writing it with Someone associated with the IAEA?
I did not discuss it.
Thanks, do you have a copy of the letter? I have one in front of me.
Would you please read it for us, sir?
Dear Mr. Hoover, the purpose It is from this letter that I express..."
Sorry, if I can...
What is the purpose of repetition? He will simply read it.
Mr. President, this is the first Whenever I see this message...
And I see less data here than kind
Which I don't think she likes for someone to see it on the record.
There are accusations that have not been made in advance.
Which is not part of Nichols' accusation.
No kind of accusation I think she belongs here.
The witness wrote the letter on his own initiative...
Presents evidence that has already been presented to the committee.
His conclusions are valid testimony
They are the conclusions of Dr. Oppenheimer's comrades. The positive is that it works both ways.
How long was the letter Attorney General's possession?
I don't think I should be accused To question me, Mr. Garrison.
Mr. Garrison, since we're members The committee and we have all read the letter...
Wouldn't it be better to be included in the record?
Let's go on reading it.
"Dear Mr. Hoover..."
"The purpose of this The message is to give my opinion..."
Based on years of study Available and classified evidence..."
More likely than not (J. Robert Oppenheimer)
He's an agent in the Soviet Union.
The following conclusions are justified.
First, between 1929 and 1942 Which is more likely than not..."
(J. Robert Oppenheimer) was a partisan communist
He even volunteered to present Information to the Soviet Union.
Secondly, which is more likely than not Since then he has been working as a spy.
Third, which is more likely than not
He's been working since Then under Soviet directives
adversely affect the policy Military United States
Sorry, Robert. - "Atomic energy and intelligence..."
- "and diplomatic politics." Is someone going to tell the truth...
What is going on here?
And now we're going to hear from Dr. David Hale.
Dr. Hale, will you give your statement?
I thank you.
I was asked to testify About Lawrence Strauss.
The man who has served for years In senior government positions...
He is known to be loyal, persistent and genius.
The opinions I will make are My personal views
But I believe that what I'll say it will help point
To the reason for the preference of most scholars in This country to see Mr. Strauss...
completely out of government.
You are referring to the hostility of some scholars...
To Mr. Strauss because of his security commitment
As described in the Oppenheimer case?
both.
Rather, because of a personal vendetta Show it against Dr. Oppenheimer.
system, system.
It seems that most scientists in this country...
I (Robert Oppenheimer) Currently being ridiculed
He is going through an ordeal because he expressed his honest opinions.
Dr. Bush, I thought I was presenting I serve my country when I hear this case.
There is no council in this country...
He should be judged A man because he expressed his firm opinions.
And if you like to try this case, give me a try.
Excuse me, gentlemen, if I am Annoyed but upset.
Dr. Hale, we've already heard that... Mr. Strauss did not press charges...
Or take part in the listening Against Dr. Oppenheimer.
The Oppenheimer affair has come and gone Through a feud (Louis Strauss).
Oppenheimer made the men talk On Strauss's position on
Shipments of isotopes to Norway and inc Strauss never forgave him for this public humiliation.
Another dispute centered around their differences...
in judging the quality of the contribution Seniors in national security.
Strauss resorted to the security system Personal, in order to destroy Oppenheimer's influence...
Strauss managed to find ambitious men
And they disagree with Oppenheimer's positions. They envy him for his position in government circles.
I assumed and am still assuming That he is loyal to the United States.
I believe in that and I will remain a believer Until I see hard evidence otherwise.
Do you believe or not that Dr Oppenheimer poses a security risk?
On several occasions I have seen Dr. Oppenheimer.
behave in any way For me very difficult to understand.
I disagree with him on many issues...
It seems to me that his behavior is confusing and complicated.
To this extent I want to The interests of this country...
In a way that I understand Better and more reliable.
thank you Doctor. I thank you.
Sorry.
Shake his evil hand?
I could spit in his face.
I'm not sure the committee would have respected that.
Isn't that polite enough for you?
I think you're being too sweet.
Gray must see what Robb does. Why not deter him?
Will you shake the towers again?
You have to stop playing the martyr.
In accordance with the guidelines of the Atomic Energy Commission. Are we exonerating Dr. Oppenheimer today?
According to my interpretation of the atomic energy law
who was not present when I was appointed Dr. Oppenheimer in 1942...
I wouldn't have acquitted him today if I was a member of the committee.
Good, thank you guys General, that's it.
But I don't think I'll exonerate any One of those people.
That's it.
Does Dr. Oppenheimer have any responsibility? In the selection and filtering of class views?
No, not at all.
And you wouldn't leave this Council today with no intimation
That you question his loyalty to the United States. In Operation Los Alamos?
Anyway, I hope not to tip Nobody to believe otherwise for a moment.
Thank you, General.
You shouldn't have made them wait.
She will be here.
Would you even like her to be here?
Only fools and teenagers think ...they understand other people's relationships
Not you, Lloyd.
Me and Kitty...
We are mature.
We went through the hardest ordeals together.
And you will do very well.
Can you describe your visions of communism Is it for, against or neutral?
I am strongly opposed and do not have any ties A relationship with communism since 1936, and since...
Since before I met Robert.
That's it.
The record proves that Oppenheimer did not warrant it
Non-partisan advisors Bias in favor of the Gray Council.
He was questioned by a public prosecutor who took advantage Every trick from his slick legal background.
You are now accusing that council Gray allowed a trial.
If I were a member of the Gray Council, I would have protested the methods...
The man who represented the public prosecution.
A man who wasn't appointed by the council, but was appointed by Strauss.
Who was this man?
Sorry?
Who was this man?
(Roger Robert).
Mrs. Oppenheimer.
Do you have a Communist Party membership card?
I'm not sure.
Not sure?
Good...
Good?
It is assumed when practical Join the party...
It requires sending money And receive a card, right?
Okay.
sorry.
truly?
This was a long time ago. Isn't that so, Sir Robert?
both. Long time forgotten.
Did you return the card or tore it up?
The card I forgot about?
Communist Party membership card.
I have a slight idea.
Is there a difference between communism Soviet and communism?
At the time when I was a member I thought they were two for sure.
I thought it was the Communist Party in the United States"...
He was interested in our domestic problems I don't believe in that anymore.
I believe that all things are interconnected among themselves and expanding across the world...
And I've believed that since I left party sixteen years ago.
But... Seventeen years ago.
this is my fault.
- But you said. Sorry, eighteen years.
eighteen years ago.
Did you know that your husband was a contributor to... The Spanish Civil War to 1942?
I knew Robert gave away money from time to time.
And did you know that this money was Up to the activities of the Communist Party?
You mean by his activities?
Sorry?
I think you mean "through the bags." Communist Party" Isn't it?
Okay. Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Does that indicate that your husband is by 1942 Did he stop his relationship with the Communist Party?
You are not required to answer "yes or no". You can answer any way you like.
I know that, thank you.
Your question is not phrased correctly.
Do you understand what I'm getting at? I understand that.
Why don't you answer the question?
Because your sentence does not impress me.
His relationship with the Communist Party
Because Robert wasn't his Any connection with the Communist Party.
I know he donated money to Spanish refugees
And I know he was interested With communist ideas mentally
Are there two types of communists?
The mental communist and your regular old communist?
I cannot answer this question.
Nor can I.
Good evening.
Robert, you can't have that.
It's a rigged trial with a preliminary result Why involve yourself in more of that?
I have my reasons.
decent.
good night.
He has a valid point.
I'm not sure you understand, Albert.
I don't understand?
I emigrated my country never to return.
You served your country well.
If this is a bounty for you, then...
Maybe you should turn your back on her.
Damn, I'm infatuated with this country.
So tell them to go to hell.
Oddly enough, it is no longer a session Confirmation, but she's currently on trial.
She is about to be tried.
No good in telling everyone That you initiated the listenings.
He can't prove anything with certainty he can't Proof that I gave the file to Borden.
We are not in court, sir. There is no burden of proof.
True, they will not condemn.
They just refuse.
Why does Hale come here? And ruin my reputation? What are his intentions?
Do people need a reason? To do something right?
- As he sees it. I told you.
Oppenheimer encouraged Scientists are against me from the first meeting.
I don't know what Oppenheimer told him that day...
But Einstein didn't even look me in the eye.
Oppenheimer knows how to control those around him.
And in "Los Alamos" he took advantage of the scientists' naivety...
who thought they were right Access how to manage their work.
But they didn't believe it Naive enough.
Doctor, while you're at work On the hydrogen bomb...
Did you abstain from doing something? Because of a moral motive?
Yes offcourse.
But you're still going about your business, aren't you?
Yeah, because it was worth exploring He was not preparing a weapon.
You mean he was way over an academic excursion.
No, to make a hydrogen bomb Nothing academic.
It's a matter of life or death.
By 1942 you were actively pushing To develop a hydrogen bomb, aren't you?
Pay is not an appropriate word either Support and work on it is true.
As soon as it becomes so The moral motive is sober
At that time, you offered to develop the hydrogen bomb?
Whenever suggested this be US policy...
To make these things at any cost...
Without any regard for the balance between these weapons
And atomic weapons are part of our arsenal.
And what does the moral motive have to do with that?
What does the moral motive have to do with it? Okay.
Oppenheimer wanted to have the atomic bomb
He wanted to be the man who moves the earth.
He talks about returning the genie Nuclear to the bottle...
And I'm here to tell you that I know (J. Robert Oppenheimer)...
Although he could do so Every spot he'll do the same.
You know it was never mentioned He regrets Hiroshima?
He does it everywhere, why?
Because the bomb made him the most important person in history.
We used the bomb Atomic freely...
Indeed, Doctor, you are You helped set the goal...
to drop the atomic bomb On Japan, aren't you?
Okay.
So you knew that by dropping the bomb the atomic on the target you specified
Thousands will be killed Or get hurt, right?
Yes, not as many as shown.
How many were killed or injured?
seventy thousand.
70,000 in Hiroshima and...
One hundred and ten thousand in both cities.
bombarded every day.
Okay.
And the weeks and years that followed?
It's somewhere between 50 and 100,000.
- 220 thousand at least? Okay.
And what moral motive concerns you about that?
Terrible motives.
But you testified that The bombing of Hiroshima was successful.
In practice he was successful.
In practice it was very successful.
Allegedly, it helped end the war.
Were you helping drop the bomb? The pH on Hiroshima?
This is not logical at all.
Why? The target is very small.
Let's assume it was there Bigger place in Japan...
Big enough for a nuclear weapon Thermal, would you have opposed dropping it?
This was not the problem I had...
I confront you with it now, sir.
It wasn't part of his plan.
He was fighting hidden and glorious guilt .from arrogant to feel great
"We can't go down this road," he says.
Even if he knew we'd have to.
Would you oppose dropping a weapon? thermonuclear on japan
Because of troubling moral motives? - I believe I will object, sir.
Did you oppose dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima? Because of ethical concerns.
We made our arguments...
- I ask you, not us, but you. I made my argument...
towards dropping the bomb But I did not agree to them.
You mean after you've been working day and night Three years after making the bomb...
And then you argued about using it?
The Secretary of War asked me about the visions of the scholars at the time.
I gave him visions for and against us.
You supported dropping the bomb Atomic over Japan...
What do you mean by "support"?
- You supported dropping the bomb. - What do you mean by "support"?
You helped choose the target, didn't you?
I did my job and I was not in a position Executive at Los Alamos.
I would do everything asked of me.
And you were going to make a bomb Hydrogen too, aren't you?
- I couldn't. - I didn't ask you that, Doctor.
And the report of the advisory committee to which you contributed After the Russian atomic bomb test showed
The destructive bomb must not be made.
What we meant, what I meant was...
- You meant what? from? - What did you mean...
Wouldn't he have moved the Russians? Still in order to increase their strength?
If we do it, they will have to do it.
Our efforts will motivate their efforts As happened with the atomic bomb.
"Just like with the atomic bomb."
There was no general moral motive 1945 and not abundant in 1949.
Dr. Oppenheimer...
When did you develop your strict convictions Regarding the hydrogen bomb?
Whenever you point it out to me...
We intend to use any weapon we have.
(J. Robert Oppenheimer) Martyr. I gave him exactly what he wanted.
And to be immortalized at Trinity, no Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
He had to thank me.
He will not thank you.
We still have enough votes...
Or is the crowning moment in my career approaching? To be the most publicly humiliated in my life?
Almost the entire council will vote.
- You will succeed. - Great, then collect the press.
Dr. Oppenheimer.
This council has heard your testimony...
And many of your former and present comrades...
The council came to a conclusion It is unanimous that you are a loyal citizen.
However, given your ongoing engagements...
And your disregard for the security services in this country
In addition to your annoying behavior to Something about the atomic bomb program...
And you have no shortage of answers To be honest with this board...
We voted two to one Refuse to renew your security license.
A full book will come out with an objection
From Mr. Evans to a body Atomic energy in the coming days.
That's it.
Council member.
(Robert).
(Robert).
Do not wash the sheets.
Take a picture of it.
Sir, sir.
Two minutes, two minutes.
- You'll get your picture. - Please, sir.
- We've been waiting a long time. - Good evening, sir.
- They got out. my lord.
Is it an official meeting?
There were two people who did We expect them to stick to their opinion.
I was rejected, right?
I regret that, sir.
decent.
Who were these two Egyptians?
There were three that were led by the junior member of Senate of Massachusetts
And a young man who wants to prove himself and no He likes what you did to Oppenheimer.
What is his name?
(Kennedy).
(John F Kennedy).
(kitty)?
Did you think that if you let them Applying the "paint and feather" penalty to you...
Will the world forgive you?
He will not forgive you.
We will see that.
You told me I'd be fine.
I didn't have all the facts, did I?
Here's a fact.
President Eisenhower put on a medal Freedom on my chest last year...
Because I've always done what's best for this country.
Don't they want me in the cabinet?
It's okay.
Maybe they should invite Oppenheimer for me.
Maybe they will call him.
I told you he pitted scholars against me one by one The other and starting with Einstein I told you so.
Einstein, I saw him by the pond.
Indeed, but you know, sir...
Because no one knows Exactly what they said to each other that day.
Is it possible that they are They never talked about you?
Could they be talking about something...
more important?
Mr. Strauss.
Here, Mr. Strauss.
I thank you.
(Albert).
event man.
Once upon a time you received me.
in Berkeley. You have given me a reward.
correct.
You all thought I was lost The ability to understand what you started.
The reward was not mine, but all of you.
Now it's your turn to deal With the consequences of what you have achieved.
And one day at a time They punish you enough...
They'll serve you salmon and potato salad.
Thank you, my dear.
They give you a medal.
(Frank).
Your joy is my joy.
I'll be back, tell everyone I forgive them.
Just remember...
It won't be for you.
It will be for them.
When I brought you those math accounts...
We thought we had started a chain reaction Which would destroy the entire world.
I remember that very well.
so what?
I think we destroyed the world.
