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?

Did you like it better yesterday? A lot. You can lift the stone without being ready for the snake that's revealed. Now it seems you're ready. - But you don't enjoy the lab? - (continues panting) So get out of Cambridge with its beakers and potions. Go somewhere they let you think.

But never embraced the quantum world it revealed. "God doesn't play dice." Precisely. You never thought of studying physics formally, Mr. Strauss? Well, I had offers, but I chose to sell shoes. Lewis Strauss was once a lowly shoe salesman.

Mr. Strauss, there are things in my past you ought to be aware of. Well, as chairman of the AEC, I have access to your security file. I've read it. - You're not worried? - No. Why would I be worried after everything you've done for your country? Well, times change, Mr. Strauss. Well, the purpose of this institute is to provide a haven for independent minds.

But later? Well, we all know what happened later. ROBB: Doctor, your, uh... your time in Europe, you seemed to meet with a wide range of other countries' physicists. Yes, that's right. Any Russians?

I, uh... I wanted to study the new physics. GRAY: Was there nowhere here? I thought Berkeley had the leading theoretical physics department. Yes. Once I built it. But first I had to go to Europe. I went to Cambridge to study under Patrick Blackett. Were you happier there than in America? - Happier? - Yes. (unsettling music playing)
