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.

Dr. Oppenheimer, it's an honor. Please, take a seat. No need, um, I just wanted to check whether I should talk to Lomanitz while I'm here, given your concerns. Well, I'd say that's really up to you, Professor, - but I'd be cautious. - Uh-huh. Understood. Oh, and, um, (clears throat) as regards to the union, I wanted to give you a heads-up on a... on a man named Eltenton. A heads-up? Yes, just that he might merit watching is all.

ROBB: In the months in between your interview with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier, did you expend resources trying to find the name of the intermediary? Considerable resources, yes. Without the name, our job was extremely difficult. And when did you receive the name? I was gone by the time -Oppenheimer finally offered it up. -Gone? They felt my time would be better spent in Europe determining the status of the Nazi bomb project. Who did?

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.

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.

It has long been clear to me that I should have reported this incident at once. SENATOR McGEE: The Oppenheimer situation highlights the tension between scientists and the security apparatus. In hopes of learning how the nominee handled such issues during his time at the AEC, we'll have a scientist appearing before the committee.
