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.

Well, here we are. Catch me up. What do we know? One of our B-29s over the North Pacific has detected radiation. Do we have the filter papers? There's no doubt what this is. White House says there's a doubt. Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. Are those the long-range detection filter papers?

There's a way to balance these things. Keep the Rad Lab here at Berkeley under Lawrence. Met Lab in Chicago, under Szilard. Large-scale refining, where did you say? Tennessee. - And Hanford. - And Hanford. All America's industrial might and scientific innovation, connected by rail. Focused on one goal. One point in space and time. And it comes together here. A secret laboratory. In the middle of nowhere, secure, self-sufficient, equipment, housing, the works. Keep everyone there until it's done. It'll need a school, stores, a church. Why? ROBERT: If we don't let scientists bring their families, we'll never get the best. You want security, build a town, build it fast. Where?

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 don't know. - The Nazis have them. - Niels Bohr's in Copenhagen. - Under Nazi occupation. Did they stop printing newspapers in Princeton? Why would we go to the middle of nowhere for who knows how long? (chuckling) For a year or two. Or three.

(door shuts) They are not gonna let me onto this project. And failing a security check is not gonna be good for a career, even after the war. So you're a fellow traveler. So what? This is a national emergency. I've got some skeletons, they put me in charge. They need us. Until they don't.
