LAWRENCE: Greetings from Berkeley. I am here to update you on our progress and solicit your input. To do so, I am going to have to share a few things that General Groves told me not to. Sorry, General, I said I understood, not that I agreed. - (laughter) - 'Kay. Gentlemen, to business. There were rumors of espionage at Los Alamos. ROBERT: Unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated. STRAUSS: I'm told that there were Communists on the project. We didn't knowingly employ any Communists. I just want to know, were any of them involved in discussions of the Super? I seem to remember you demanding your brother come to Los Alamos. My brother had left the Party by then. What about Lomanitz? Lomanitz was never employed at Los Alamos. He was a liaison. Our security was tight, as former Colonel Nichols well knows. Our security was as tight as it could be given the personalities involved, but attempts were made. What is that supposed to mean? We've all read his file here.

So we're about to fire a dud? - No. - Explain. Well, I can't. I just... I-I just know. I know the implosion lenses will work. If we fire these detonators and they don't trigger a reaction, two years' worth of plutonium will be scattered across White Sands. A month of my salary against ten bucks says it lights. - Jesus. - (thunder rumbling) (tense music continues)

(exhales sharply) Theory will take you only so far. - BETHE: Mm. - CHEVALIER: Hello! - BARBARA: Hello, you. - KITTY: Hi. BARBARA: We missed him. You want to adopt? - She's kidding. - (Kitty chuckles) We wanted to see you before we left. - For parts unknown. - (chuckles) CHEVALIER: You know who I ran into the other day? Eltenton. ROBERT: Oh. The chemist from Shell? The union guy? CHEVALIER: Yeah. He... The, uh, F.A.E.C.T. guy. He was moaning about how we're handling the war. ROBERT: How so? Lack of cooperation with our allies. Apparently our government's not sharing any research with the Russians. Well, he said, "Most scientists think the policy is stupid." (suspenseful music playing) - ROBERT: Oh, yeah? - CHEVALIER: Yeah. He mentioned that if anyone had anything they wanted to pass on, uh, going around official channels, that he could help.

He took it. America and Russia may be likened to two scorpions in a bottle, each capable of killing the other but only at the risk of his own life. Now, there are various aspects of this policy... STRAUSS: Lot of scientists blame me, but how was I supposed to protect him? Too secret for discussion, candor is the only remedy. Officials in Washington need to start leveling with the American people. (people murmuring) That was the last straw for Robert's enemies. So he had to lose his security clearance. - And with it, his credibility. - (knocking) But how could they do it? He was a war hero. He'd already told everyone about his past. Borden dredged it all up. How could Borden get access to Oppenheimer's FBI file? Could it have been Nichols? No, I can't imagine he'd do that. But whoever did unleashed a firestorm that burned a path from the White House back to my desk at the AEC. You see them in there, right? I've been working my whole life to get here. Cabinet of the United States of America. Now, in front of the entire country, they're gonna put me back in my place.
