Thank you. I've been asked to testify about Lewis Strauss. A man who has given years of service in high positions of government and who is known to be earnest, hardworking and intelligent.

Frankly, I can see that there might be an argument for the Commander-in-Chief informing the Russians... they're our allies after all... but I don't like the idea of it going out the back door. It might not hurt to be on the lookout for it.

ROBERT: Oh-ppenheimer, Oppenheimer. Whatever way you say it, they know I'm Jewish. (Strauss chuckles) I'm president of Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. "Straws" is just the Southern pronunciation. - Ah. - Anyway, welcome to the Institute. I think you could be very happy here. Yes, well, you'll love the commute. The position comes with that house for you and your wife and your, is it two children? Yes, two. I'm a great admirer of your work. And you're a physicist by training, Mr. Strauss? I'm sorry, uh, common room 4:00 tea. No, I'm not trained in physics or anything else. - I'm a self-made man. - Ah. - I can relate to that. - Really? Yes, my father was one. And this would be your office.

(brooding music playing) After the truth about Fuchs came out, the FBI stepped up surveillance on him. He knew his phone was tapped, he was followed everywhere... his trash picked through.

MARSHALL: If a Russian bomb is inevitable, perhaps we should invite their top scientists to Trinity. President Truman has no intention of raising expectations that Stalin be included in the atomic project. Informing him of our breakthrough and presenting it as a means to win the war need not make unkeepable promises. But the Potsdam peace conference in July will be President Truman's last chance to have that conversation. Can you give us a working bomb by then?

As far as I know. As far as I know, yes. But there-there may have been more than one person involved.

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

In a great number of cases, I have seen Dr. Oppenheimer act in a way which was to me exceedingly hard to understand. I thoroughly disagreed with him in numerous issues, and his actions frankly appeared to me confused and complicated. To this extent, I feel, I want to see the vital interest of this country in hands which I understand better and therefore trust more. - MORGAN: Thank you, Doctor. - ROBB: Thank you.

He was devastated when Truman rejected their recommendation.

Where did you go? - I can't tell you. - Why not? Because you're a Communist.
