SERBER: It's a little early for a Christmas party. Something's up. Tolman's been away. Where? Ruth won't tell.

You drop in and out of my life, and you don't have to tell me why. Now that's power. Not that I enjoy.

I'd rather be here for you as you need. But you have other priorities now. I have a wife and child.

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

General Groves. He transferred me to London.

The team hasn't slept in two nights. If we stand down, make the bomb safe, we won't be back here for weeks. Then we'll miss Potsdam. I gotta get word to Truman by 7:00. Our window's closing. What is this doing? Raining, blowing, lightning. - For how long, damn it? - It's holdin' strong. It'll break before dawn. - How could you know that? - I know this desert. Storm cools overnight. Just before dawn, the storm breaks. He could be right, but schedule as late as possible. 5:30! Sign your forecast. If you're wrong, I'll hang you. Frank, tell them all, 5:30. - 5:30, 5:30. - MAN: 5:30.

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?

Anything less, they won't get what it is. What did Fermi mean by "atmospheric ignition"? Well, we had a moment where it looked like the chain reaction from an atomic device might never stop.

Watch that needle. If the detonators don't charge or the voltage drops below one volt, you hit that button, you abort. - Understood? - Understood.

(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.

(sighs) Klaus Fuchs, the British scientist that you put onto the implosion team at Los Alamos, turns out he was... he was spying for the Soviets the whole time. I'm sorry.
