Are you saying we'll have to delay? I'm saying it would be prudent. This weather, has it reached the site? (tense music playing) (thunder rumbling) (telephone ringing) Bethe is calling to tell you the implosion test failed. ROBERT: Hello, Hans. Yes, he's here.

Niels, meet J. Robert Oppenheimer. BOHR: What's the "J" stand for? Nothing, apparently. You were at my lecture. You asked the only good question. BLACKETT: No one's denying his insight. It's his laboratory work that leaves a little to be desired. (swallows) I heard you give the same lecture... At Harvard, yes, and you asked the same question. Why ask again? Hadn't liked your answer.

Even though you brought quantum physics to America. Which made me curious. What have you found out?

You're talking about turning theory into a practical weapons system faster than the Nazis. Who have a 12-month head start. Eighteen. How could you possibly know that? Our fast neutron research took six months. The man they've undoubtedly put in charge will have made that leap instantly. Who do you think they put in charge? Werner Heisenberg. He has the most intuitive understanding of atomic structure I have ever seen. - You know his work? - I know him. Just like I know Walther Bothe, von Weizsäcker, Diebner. In a straight race, the Germans win. - We've got one hope. - Which is? Anti-Semitism. What? Hitler called quantum physics "Jewish science." Said it right to Einstein's face. Our one hope is that Hitler is so... so blinded by hate that he's denied Heisenberg proper resources, because it'll take vast resources. Our nation's best scientists working together. Right now, they're scattered. Which gives us compartmentalization. All minds have to see the whole task to contribute efficiently. Poor security may cost us the race. Inefficiency will. The Germans know more than us anyway. The Russians don't. Remind me, who are we at war with? Somebody with your past doesn't want to be seen downplaying the importance of security from our Communist allies. Point taken. But, no. (scoffs) You don't get to say "no" to me. It's my job to say "no" to you when you're wrong. So you have the job now? Uh, I'm considering it. I'm starting to see where you got your reputation.
