You helped save a lot of American lives. What we did at Hiroshima was a... And Nagasaki. Well, obviously. Your invention let us bring our boys home. Well, it was hardly my invention. It was you on the cover of Time. (both chuckling) Jim tells me you're concerned about an arms race with the Soviets. Uh, yes, uh...

CHARLOTTE: Groves on one. TRUMAN: We are now prepared to destroy more rapidly and completely the Japanese... ROBERT: (clears throat) General? GROVES: I'm very proud of you and all of your people. It went all right? Apparently, it went with a tremendous bang. ROBERT: Well, everyone here is feeling reasonably good about it.

ROBB: Are you familiar with the fact your husband was making contributions to the Spanish Civil War as late as 1942? I knew that Robert gave money from time to time. Did you know this money was going into Communist Party channels? Don't you mean "through"? - Pardon? - I think you mean "through Communist Party channels," don't you? - Y-Yes! - Yes? - Yes! - KITTY: Yes. Then would it be fair to say that this meant that by 1942, your husband had not stopped having anything to do with the Communist Party? You don't have to answer that yes or no. You can answer that any way you wish. I know that, thank you. It's your question. - It's not properly phrased. - Do you understand - what I'm getting at? - I do. Then why don't you answer it that way? 'Cause I don't like your phrase. "Having anything to do with the Communist Party." Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such. I know he gave money to Spanish refugees. I know he took an intellectual interest in Communist ideas... Are there two types of Communists? Intellectual Communists and your plain old regular Commie? (laughs) Well, I couldn't answer that one. EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

You're a dilettante, a womanizer, a suspected Communist... I'm a New Deal Democrat. I said "suspected." Unstable, theatrical, egotistical, neurotic... Nothing good, no? Not even "he's brilliant, but..." Well, brilliance is taken for granted in your circle, so no. No, the only person who had anything good to say was Richard Tolman. Tolman thinks you have integrity, but he also strikes me as a guy who knows more about science than people. Yet here you are. You don't take much on trust. I don't take anything on trust.

FRANK: Ground zero observation posts at 10,000 yards north, south and west. - Where do we trigger from? - Uh, south 10,000. And base camp is ten miles south, here. And there's a further observation post on-on that hill 20 miles away. What's that, Frank? Trigger lines already went in. The Air Force requested a line of lights for their B-29. What B-29? Our bomb's on the tower. FRANK: They want to use the test to confirm a safe operating distance. That's risky. Not as risky as dropping one over Japan and hoping that we were right about the blast radius. Don't let them slow us down, we're firing on the 15th. - The 15th? That's not... - GROVES: The 15th. The 15th.

I won't take up too much of your time. No, no, not at all. Whatever time you choose. Mm. Mr. Johnson told me of a conversation you had yesterday in which I'm very interested. It's had me worried all day. Yes, well, I didn't want to talk to Lomanitz without authorization. That's not the particular interest that I have. It's something a little bit more... well, in my opinion, more serious. Now, when the FBI pointed out that such information wouldn't be admissible in court, Pash made it clear he had no intention of leaving any witness left to prosecute. Now, the FBI talked him down, but that's the man you're dancing with. I gather you've heard there are other parties interested in the work of the Radiation Lab. A man attached to the Soviet Consul indicated, through intermediate people, to people on this project, that he was in a position to transmit information. Oh, why would anyone on the project want to do that?

Okay. We shouldn't keep them waiting. She'll be here. Do you even want her here? Only a fool or an adolescent presumes to know someone else's relationship, and you're neither, Lloyd. (door shuts) Kitty and I, we're grown-ups. We've walked through fire together. She'll do fine. GARRISON: Would you describe your views on Communism as pro, anti, neutral? KITTY: Very strongly against. I-I've had nothing to do with Communism in... since... since 1936, since... since before I met Robert.

There's a way to balance these things. Keep the Rad Lab here at Berkeley under Lawrence. Met Lab in Chicago, under Szilard. Large-scale refining, where did you say? Tennessee. - And Hanford. - And Hanford. All America's industrial might and scientific innovation, connected by rail. Focused on one goal. One point in space and time. And it comes together here. A secret laboratory. In the middle of nowhere, secure, self-sufficient, equipment, housing, the works. Keep everyone there until it's done. It'll need a school, stores, a church. Why? ROBERT: If we don't let scientists bring their families, we'll never get the best. You want security, build a town, build it fast. Where?

Robert. I want you to meet Chevalier. Dr. Haakon Chevalier, Dr. Robert Oppenheimer. - Pleasure. - Pleasure. This is my little brother, Frank. - And this is... - Hello. - Still Jackie. - Hello, Still Jackie. Chevalier, you're in languages? And your reputation precedes you. - What have you heard? - MARY: Excuse me. That you're teaching a radical new approach to physics I have no chance of understanding, but I hadn't heard you're a Party member. - Uh, I'm not. - Oh, not yet. Frank and I are thinking of joining. Just the other day, - I was saying... - I support a range of causes. CHEVALIER: The Spanish Civil War? A democratic republic being overthrown by fascist thugs, who wouldn't? Our government. They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism. ROBERT: Not for long. Look at what the Nazis are doing to the Jews. I send funds to colleagues in Germany to emigrate. I have to do something. (sighs) My own work is so abstract. What are you working on? What happens to the stars when they die. Do stars die? Well, if they do, they'd cool, then collapse. In fact, the bigger the star, - the more violent its demise. - (explosions) The gravity gets so concentrated it swallows everything. Everything, even light. Can that really happen? The math says it can. If we can get published, then perhaps one day, an astronomer finds one. But right now, all I have is theory, which can't impact people's lives. Well, if you're going to send money to Spain, do it through the Communist Party. They can get it to the front lines. Mary sent me with these.

Uh, there aren't any big enough. Perhaps a vital war plant with workers housed nearby. And we could issue a warning to reduce civilian casualties. They'd send everything they have up against us, and I'd be up in that plane. But if we announce it and it fails to go off, we'd scupper any chance of a Japanese surrender. Is there no way to demonstrate a bomb to Japan to provoke surrender? We intend to demonstrate it in the most unambiguous terms. Twice. Once to show the weapon's power and a second to show that we can keep doing this until they surrender. We have a list of 12 cities to choose from... Sorry, 11. I've taken Kyoto off the list due to its cultural significance to the Japanese people. Also, my wife and I honeymooned there. It's a magnificent city.

Admiral Strauss, I'm interested in your relationship with Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. You met him in 1947? Correct. You were commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission? I was, but I-I actually met Robert in my capacity as board member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton because after the war, he was world-renowned as the great man of physics, and I was determined to get him to run the Institute.

Oppenheimer still divides America. The committee is gonna want to know where you stood. Senator Thurmond asked me to say not to feel that you're on trial. Oh, funny, I didn't till you just said that. - Really, Mr. Strauss... - It's Admiral. Um, Admiral Strauss. This is a formality. President Eisenhower has asked you to be in his cabinet. Senate really has no choice but to confirm you. And if they bring up Oppenheimer? When they bring up Oppenheimer, you answer honestly. No senator can deny you did your duty. It'll be uncomfortable. (chuckles awkwardly) Who'd want to justify their whole life?

I came in for plenty of harsh treatment. There was an AEC vote on the export of isotopes to Norway, and they drafted in Robert to make me look like a fool. CONGRESSMAN: But, Dr. Oppenheimer, we've already heard from Admiral Strauss that these isotopes could be useful to our enemies in the production of atomic weapons. ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel - in making atomic weapons. - (laughter) In fact, you do. You could use a bottle of beer in making atomic weapons. In fact, you do. I say isotopes are less useful than electronic components but more useful than a sandwich. (all laughing)
