He should be thanking me. Well, he's not. (huffs) Do we still have enough votes, or is the crowning moment of my career about to become the most public humiliation of my life? Full Senate's about to vote. You'll scrape through. Great, then gather the fucking press. GRAY: Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. This board, having heard testimony from you and many of your current and former colleagues, has come to the unanimous conclusion that you are a loyal citizen.

Thanks for convening on short notice. I can't believe it.

BETHE: Barbed wire, guns. Oppie. ROBERT: We're at war, Hans.

- Albert. - Hmm? Ah. Dr. Oppenheimer. (chuckles) Well, have you met Dr. Gödel? We walk here most days. Trees are the most inspiring structures. Albert, might I have a word? Of course. 'Scuse me, Kurt.

Enough of this madhouse. Nobody can work under these conditions. You know what, Generalissimo? I quit. Thanks for nothing.

The biggest man-made explosion in history. Now let's calculate how much more destructive it would have been if it were a nuclear and not a chemical reaction. Expressing power in terms of tons of TNT. But it will be thousands. Well, then kilotons.

And the Hanford plant made this much plutonium.

Albert. When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world. Mm, I remember it well. What of it? I believe we did. (suspenseful music continues) (rhythmic stomping)

Halifax. 1917. A cargo ship carrying munitions explodes in the harbor. (explosions) A vast and sudden chemical reaction. (violent whooshing)

GROVES: Progress? Nice to see you too. Meet the British contingent. Dr. Oppenheimer, Klaus Fuchs. How long have you been British? Since Hitler told me I wasn't German. Uh-huh. Come, welcome to Los Alamos. School's up and running. Bar. Always running. And I thought of a way to reduce support staff.

Well, here we are. Catch me up. What do we know? One of our B-29s over the North Pacific has detected radiation. Do we have the filter papers? There's no doubt what this is. White House says there's a doubt. Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Are those the long-range detection filter papers?

Then we'll get not kilotons, but megatons. FEYNMAN: A big fission reaction... Okay, hang on, hang on. So how do you generate enough force to fuse hydrogen atoms? A small fission bomb. FEYNMAN: There we are. - (laughter) - (scattered applause) Well, since we're going to need one anyway, can we get back to the business at hand? SENATOR BARTLETT: The isotopes issue wasn't your most important policy disagreement with Dr. Oppenheimer. It was the hydrogen bomb, wasn't it? Uh, as colleagues, we agreed to disagree on a great many things, uh, and, well, one of them was the need for an H-bomb program, yes. - (siren wailing) - (uneasy music playing)

It's an atomic test.

Once a week. Top men only. I'd like to bring my brother here. No.
