Under the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? (unnerving music playing) Under my interpretation (sighs) of the Atomic Energy Act, which did not exist when I hired Dr. Oppenheimer in 1942... I would not clear him today, uh, if I were on the commission. ROBB: Good. Thank you, General. That is all. But I don't think I'd clear any of those guys. That's all.

You are aware that the Nazis have a two-year head start. Dr. Oppenheimer, the fact that your security clearance is proving difficult to obtain is not my fault. It's yours. May not be your fault, but it's your problem. Because I'm going. STRAUSS: And how many people were in these, uh, - open discussions? - NICHOLS: Too many. Compartmentalization was supposed to be the protocol. We were in a race against the Nazis. And now the race is against the Soviets. - Not unless we start it. - STRAUSS: Robert. They just fired a starting gun. What's the nature of the device they detonated? ROBERT: The data indicates it may have been a plutonium implosion device. Like the one you built at Los Alamos. The Russians have a bomb, Truman needs to know what's next. What's next? Arms talks. - Arms talks. - Obviously.

Christ's sake. (door slams) It wasn't Nichols or Hoover or one of Truman's guys. It was you. You gave the file to Borden. You set him on Oppenheimer. - You convinced him to... - (loudly): Borden... (in normal tone): didn't take any convincing. NICHOLS: Take your time, use the entire file. Write up your conclusion, send them to the FBI. The material is obviously extensive, but there's nothing new here. STRAUSS: Your conclusions will be. And they'll have to be answered. Hoover passes them to McCarthy? Oppenheimer's too slippery for that self-promoting clown. I've talked it over with Hoover, he'll hold McCarthy at bay while you do this with the AEC. - A trial. - No. No trial. You can't give Oppenheimer a platform. You can't martyr him. We need a systematic destruction of Oppenheimer's credibility so he can never again speak on matters of national security. Then what?
