(intriguing music playing) Uh, Heisenberg sought me out in Copenhagen. It was chilling, my old student working for the Nazis. He told me some things to draw me out. Sustained fission reactions in uranium. That sounds more like a reactor than a bomb. Did he mention gaseous diffusion? He seemed more focused on heavy water. As a moderator? Yes, instead of graphite. - (Teller snorts) - (laughter) What? He took a wrong turn. We're ahead. And with you here to help us, Niels. Sorry, could you... could you give us a moment, gentlemen?

(scoffs) This is one of the most prestigious appointments in the country. Yes, with a great commute. That's why I'm considering it. SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought your attention to his past associations before you appointed him? Yes. And it didn't concern you? Just then, I was entirely consumed with what he must have said to Einstein to sour him on me. (laughter)

She took barbiturates, but there was chloral hydrate in her blood. (muffled screaming) (screaming stops) There was a note. (whispering): Jean Tatlock?

You drop a bomb and it falls on the just and the unjust. (sighs) I don't wish the culmination of three centuries of physics to be a weapon of mass destruction.

The team hasn't slept in two nights. If we stand down, make the bomb safe, we won't be back here for weeks. Then we'll miss Potsdam. I gotta get word to Truman by 7:00. Our window's closing. What is this doing? Raining, blowing, lightning. - For how long, damn it? - It's holdin' strong. It'll break before dawn. - How could you know that? - I know this desert. Storm cools overnight. Just before dawn, the storm breaks. He could be right, but schedule as late as possible. 5:30! Sign your forecast. If you're wrong, I'll hang you. Frank, tell them all, 5:30. - 5:30, 5:30. - MAN: 5:30.

ROBERT: Progress? Two years and a billion dollars' worth? Well, hard to put a price on it. Not really, just add up the bills. "Rural free deliveries." Eighty babies delivered the first year. This year, we've had ten a month. Birth control is a little out of my jurisdiction, General.

Build him a town. Fast. Let's go recruit some scientists. Why would I leave my family? I told you, you can bring your family. I'm not a soldier, Oppie. A soldier? He's a general. I've got all the soldier I need. What can I tell them? Heisenberg, Diebner, Bothe and Bohr. What do these men have in common? The greatest minds on atomic theory. - Yes, and? - Uh... As much as you like, until you feel my boot on your balls. You know isotopes and you know explosives better than anyone in the world. But you can't tell us what you're doing? (Groves sighs)

But never stopped speaking his mind. A man of conviction. And maybe he thought fame could actually protect him.

And if the truth is catastrophic? Then you stop. And you share your findings with the Nazis. So neither side destroys the world.

I'm just not sure you want to go down this road. Lewis, with respect, we are the advisory committee, we will give them our advice. STRAUSS: Good night.

Dr. Oppenheimer? (chuckles) - Nice picture. - Oh. President Truman will see you now.
