Forget Hans. Forget fission. Stay here, research what you want. Fusion, the hydrogen bomb, whatever. We'll meet to discuss. You don't have time to meet. You're a politician now, Robert. You've left physics behind many, many years ago.

Germany is about to surrender. (applause) It's no longer the enemy who are the greatest threat to mankind, it's our work. (people murmur)

Just tell me your concerns, and I'll relay them. My concerns? Germany's defeated. Japan's not going to hold out alone. How could you know that? You got us into this. You and Einstein with your letter to Roosevelt - saying we could build a bomb. - (scoffs) Against Germany. That's not how weapons manufacture works, Szilard. SZILARD: Oppie, you have to help. ROBERT: Fermi's in the meeting. - Lawrence is in the meeting. - They're not you. You're the great salesman of science. You can convince anyone of anything.

You're a long way from Chicago, Leo. If we don't act now, they're going to use this thing against Japan. We booked a meeting with Truman, but somebody killed it. You're meeting the Secretary of War. Just because we're building it, doesn't mean we get to decide how it's used. History will judge us, Robert. In Chicago, we put together a petition. I'm not... I'm not getting into that. (clattering) (sighs)

I won't work for that man. (others exclaim) Let him go. He's a prima donna. SERBER: I agree. He should leave Los Alamos. Okay. Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer. Seth, I'm putting you on plutonium. Lilli, you go work for Kisty. Because he needs you. Fuchs, you take Teller's role. I'm putting you exclusively on the implosion device. And no one is leaving Los Alamos. (rousing music playing)

Oh. Well, I hope you learned something. Yeah, we learned we're gonna need to be a lot further away. Well, figure it out. Fast. We leave for Washington in the morning. We're gonna give them a date.

ROBB: You insisted on bringing on your brother Frank, - a known Communist. - A former Communist. You brought a known former Communist onto America's most secret and important defense project. I knew my brother could be trusted. Absolutely. And you felt your judgment was sound on who on the team could be trusted?

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.

September. July. That's the sweet spot, gentlemen. August. July. Test in July. But I need my brother. (thrilling music continues)
