It's not good he's telling everyone you initiated the hearings. He can't prove a goddamn thing. He certainly can't prove that I gave the file to Borden. We're not in court, sir. There's no burden of proof. Right. They're not convicting... (sighs) just denying. Why would Hill come here to tear me down? What's his angle? Do people need a reason to do the right thing? - As he sees it. - I told you, Oppenheimer poisoned the scientists against me, right from that first meeting. I don't know what Oppenheimer said to him that day, but Einstein wouldn't even meet my eye. (inaudible) Oppenheimer knows how to manipulate his own. And at Los Alamos, he preyed on the naivete of scientists who thought they'd get a say in how we used their work, but don't ever think he was that naive himself. ROBB: Doctor. During your work on the hydrogen bomb, were you deterred by any moral qualms? Yes, of course. ROBB: But you still got on with your work, didn't you? Yes, because this was work of exploration, it was not the preparation of a weapon. You mean it was more of a... an academic excursion. No, it is not an academic thing whether you can build a hydrogen bomb. It's a matter of life and death. By 1942, you were actively pushing the development of the hydrogen bomb, weren't you? Pushing's not the right word. Supporting it and working on it, yes. So when did these moral qualms become so strong that you actively opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb? When it was suggested that it be the policy of the United States to make these things at all cost without regard to the balance between these weapons and atomic weapons as part of our arsenal.

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.

LLOYD GARRISON: General Groves, were you aware of Dr. Oppenheimer's left-wing associations when you appointed him? GROVES: I was aware that there were suspicions about him. I was aware he had a very extreme liberal background. In your opinion, would he ever consciously commit a disloyal act? I would be amazed if he did. GARRISON: So you had complete confidence in his integrity. At Los Alamos, yes, which is where I really knew him. General, did your security officers on the project advise you against the clearance of Dr. Oppenheimer? They could not and would not clear him until I insisted. And it's safe to say that you had a pretty good knowledge of Dr. Oppenheimer's security file. GROVES: I did. Well, then there's only really one question I need answered here today. In light of the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? Do you have the guidelines? ROBB: Under current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? - (birds chirping) - (rooster crowing)
