I won't work for that man. (others exclaim) Let him go. He's a prima donna. SERBER: I agree. He should leave Los Alamos. Okay. Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer. Seth, I'm putting you on plutonium. Lilli, you go work for Kisty. Because he needs you. Fuchs, you take Teller's role. I'm putting you exclusively on the implosion device. And no one is leaving Los Alamos. (rousing music playing)

Well, um, it's that, uh, now is our chance to secure international cooperation on (clears throat) atomic energy, and... and I'm concerned... Do you know when the Soviets are gonna have the bomb? I don't think I could give a... Never.

Let me make this simple for you, gentlemen. According to my intelligence, which I cannot share with you, the Japanese people will not surrender under any circumstances short of a successful and total invasion of the home islands. Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese. The use of the atomic bomb on Japanese cities will save lives. If we retain moral advantage. - How so? - Well, if we use this weapon without informing our allies, they'll see it as a threat. And we'll be in an arms race. How open can we be with the Soviets? BUSH: Secrecy won't stop the Soviets from becoming part of the atomic world. We've been told they have no uranium. You've been misinformed. A Russian bomb is a matter of time. The program needs to continue at full pace after the war. Uh, Secretary Stimson, if I may... Not all scientists on the project are in agreement. In fact, this might be a moment to consider other opinions. - If you talk a scientist in... - GROVES: The Manhattan Project has been plagued from the start by certain scientists of doubtful discretion and uncertain loyalty. One of them just tried to meet with the president. Now, we need these men, but as soon as it's practical, we should sever any such scientists from the program. Wouldn't you agree, Doctor?

Its only intended target would be the largest cities. It's a weapon of mass genocide. Izzy, draw some circles on this side of the map where they would target us. - Starting with New York. D.C. - RABI: That's fair. It's a weapon of attack with no defensive value. - Deterrence. - BUSH: "Deterrence"? Do we really need more deterrence than our current arsenal of atomic bombs? Y-You drown in ten feet of water or-or 10,000, - what's the difference? - (rhythmic stomping) We can already drown Russia. They know it. - And now they can drown us. - So we're just escalating...

This is fantasy. Teller's calculations can't be right. Do them yourself while I go to Princeton. - What for? - To talk to Einstein. Well, there's not much common ground between you two. That's why I should get his view. (birds chirping)

This is the only key. And Teller's already here. - (sighs) - Shall I just show him in? No, let's wait for the others. (door opens)
